MORF3D, INC.




SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE




$500,000.00

Los Angeles, California

March 27, 2017




WHEREAS, on March 13, 2017, Sigma Labs, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Holder”) loaned to Morf3D, Inc., an Illinois corporation (the “Company”), $150,000 (the “Original Loan”) pursuant to a Secured Promissory Note (the “Original Note”); 




WHEREAS, the Original Loan was made in contemplation of a possible transaction or transactions in which the Holder would make an additional loan to the Company and, thereafter possibly acquire or merge with the Company (a “Possible Combination”);




WHEREAS, the Holder is now willing to loan an additional $350,000 (the “Additional Loan”) to the Company and the Company is willing to accept this additional loan, in contemplation of the Possible Combination; and 




WHEREAS, the Holder and the Company agree that the Original Note is hereby cancelled, of no further force and effect, and a copy of the Original Note shall be returned to the Company marked “cancelled”, and that the outstanding principal amount of the Original Loan, all unpaid interest and other amounts due, along with the Additional Loan are hereby represented by this Secured Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000.00. 




1.

Principal and Interest. The Company, for value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of the Holder in lawful money of the United States, the principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) (the “Loan”), together with interest accrued on the unpaid principal of this Note at the rate of seven percent (7.0%) per annum commencing on the date of disbursement of the Loan. Subject to the conversion provisions of this Note, accrued interest on this Note shall be payable on the Maturity Date or the Payment Date (as such terms are defined below), as applicable. The Company agrees to use the principal amount of this Note only for leasing an EOS M 400 system, Company payroll and general working capital. 




Subject to the conversion provisions of this Note, this Note is due and payable in full (a) on March 27, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”) or (b) on demand by written notice following an Event of Default (as defined below). The Company shall, on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, within one (1) business day of receipt of the written notice referred to in the immediately preceding sentence (the “Payment Date”), pay the outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note as of the Maturity Date or the Payment Date, as applicable. 




The Holder acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Note are not contingent on the occurrence of a Possible Combination, and that, absent an Event of Default, the Holder has no right to accelerate this Note prior to the Maturity Date or the Payment Date based solely on the failure of a Possible Combination to be consummated.




2.

Prepayment. The Company may not prepay this Note (in whole or in part) within ninety (90) days following the date hereof without the prior written consent of the Holder, which may be withheld or granted in the Holder’s sole discretion; provided, however, that, after such ninety (90) day period, the Company may prepay this Note (in whole or in part) without the prior written consent of the Holder.




3.

No Usury. This Note is hereby expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of deferment or advancement of Loan proceeds, acceleration of maturity of the Loan evidenced hereby, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Holder hereunder for the loan, use, forbearance or detention of money exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada. If at any time the performance of any provision involves a payment exceeding the limit of the price that may be validly charged for the Loan, or the use, forbearance or detention of money under applicable law, then automatically and retroactively, ipso facto, the obligation to be performed shall be reduced to such limit, it being the specific intent of the Company and the Holder hereof that all payments under this Note are to be credited first to interest as permitted by law, but not in excess of (a) the agreed rate of interest hereunder, or (b) that permitted by law, whichever is the lesser, and the balance toward the reduction of principal.











4.

Attorneys’ Fees. If the indebtedness represented by this Note or any part thereof is collected in bankruptcy, receivership or other judicial proceedings or if this Note is placed in the hands of attorneys for collection after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Company agrees to pay, in addition to the principal and interest payable hereunder, reasonable attorneys’ fees and actual costs incurred by the Holder, as well as any and all interest that has accrued on the outstanding principal balance of this Note after the commencement of bankruptcy, receivership or other judicial proceedings. 




5.

Transfer. The rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder of this Note will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Note is not transferrable by the Company without the prior written consent of the Holder, which consent may be withheld, delayed or conditioned in the Holder’s sole discretion. 




6.

Notices. All notices, requests or other communications required or permitted to be delivered hereunder shall be delivered in writing to such address as the Company or the Holder, as applicable, may from time to time specify in writing. Notices if (a) mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by hand or overnight courier service shall be deemed to have been given when received, (b) sent by facsimile during the recipient’s normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given when sent (and if sent after normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of the recipient’s business on the next business day) and (iii) sent by e-mail shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgment). Copies of all notices to the Company shall be provided to Aaron B. Zarkowsky, Howard & Howard Attorneys, 200 S. Michigan Ave. #1100, Chicago, IL 60604, Fax: 312.939.5617, abz@h2law.com.




7.

Security. 




(a)

To secure all of its obligations hereunder, the Company hereby collaterally assigns, pledges and grants to the Holder a security interest in all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets and property of any kind, no matter where now or hereafter located or existing and whether such assets and property, including cash, are now owned or hereafter acquired or created, all accessions, additions, improvements, replacements and substitutions thereto, all books, records and software related thereto (whether computer-stored or otherwise), and any and all proceeds or products of (or additions or accessories to) any of the foregoing (the “Collateral”); provided, however, that the Collateral shall not include equipment leased by the Company or acquired by the Company with purchase money indebtedness, whether or not the subject of UCC-1 financing statements as of the date hereof. The Company will, from time to time, execute, deliver, file and record, as applicable, any statement, assignment, instrument, document, agreement or other paper and take any other action that from time to time may be necessary in order to create, preserve, perfect, confirm, validate, or protect the foregoing security interest. To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby authorizes the Holder to file financing statements and continuation statements to perfect the Holder’s security interest in the Collateral. The Company hereby further authorizes the Holder to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office (and any successor office and any similar office in any state of the United States or in any other country) this Note and other documents for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the security interest granted by the Company hereunder, without the signature of the Company where permitted by law. When all amounts due under this Note have been paid in full and/or converted per Section 11 of this Note, all of the provisions of this Note relating to the Collateral and the Holder ‘s secured interest therein shall terminate, and the Holder, at the request of the Company, will execute and deliver to the Company the proper instruments (including UCC termination statements) acknowledging the termination of such provisions, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to the Company the Collateral. Until all amounts due under this Note have been paid in full, the Company shall not transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate any of the Collateral, whether by operation of law or otherwise, other than in the ordinary course of business.




(b)

The Company represents and warrants to the Holder that, except for equipment leased by the Company or equipment acquired with purchase money indebtedness (whether or not the subject of UCC-1 financing statements) listed on Exhibit A hereto (the “Permitted Liens”), it owns good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances and that it has the full legal authority and power to grant the foregoing security interest in, and to assign, the Collateral to the Holder in the manner provided herein.




8.

Event of Default.




(a)

General. If an Event of Default (as defined below) occurs, the Holder may, by notice to the Company, declare the principal amount then outstanding of, and the accrued interest on, this Note to be immediately due and payable. 




(b)

Definition. For purposes of this Note, an “Event of Default” is any of the following occurrences:






- 2 -









(i)

The Company shall fail to pay the outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note on the Maturity Date; or




(ii)

If the Company shall default (as principal or guarantor or other surety) in the payment of any principal of or premium or interest on any debt which is outstanding in a principal amount of at least $50,000 in the aggregate, or if any event shall occur or condition shall exist in respect of any such debt or under any evidence of any such debt or of any mortgage, indenture or other agreement relating thereto which would permit or shall have caused the acceleration of the payment of such debt, and such default, event or condition shall continue for more than the period of grace, if any, specified therein and shall not have been waived pursuant thereto; or




(iii)

If the Company shall (i) file, or consent by answer or otherwise to the filing against it of, a petition for relief or reorganization or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy, for liquidation or to take advantage of any bankruptcy or insolvency law of any jurisdiction, (ii) make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (iii) consent to the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee (or other officer with similar powers) of itself or of any substantial part of its property, (iv) be adjudicated insolvent or otherwise admit in writing its inability to pay its debt as it becomes due, or (v) take corporate action for the purpose of any of the foregoing; or




(iv)

If a court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order appointing, without consent by the Company, a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to it or with respect to any substantial part of its property, or if an order for relief shall be entered in any case or proceeding for liquidation or reorganization or otherwise to take advantage of any bankruptcy or insolvency law of any jurisdiction, or ordering the dissolution, winding-up or liquidation of the Company, or if any petition for any such relief shall be filed against the Company and such petition shall not be dismissed without thirty (30) days; or




(v)

If there shall exist final judgments against the Company aggregating in excess of $50,000 and if any one of such judgments shall have been outstanding for any period of forty-five (45) days or more from the date of its entry and shall not have been discharged in full or stayed pending appeal; or

(c)

Remedies on Default, etc. In case any one or more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, and subject to the notice requirement set forth in Section 1 of this Note, the Holder may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise. In case of a default in the payment of any principal of or premium, if any, or interest on this Note, the Company will pay to the Holder such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the actual cost and expenses of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of the Holder in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Note upon the Holder shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Further, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder, without any other notice to or demand upon the Company, may, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, assert all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of, hold, collect, sell, lease, deliver, grant options to purchase or otherwise retain, liquidate or dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral.

Prior to the date that all amounts due and owing under this Note are paid in full, the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to convert the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at any time, in whole but not in part, into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) equal to 10% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (treating as outstanding for this purpose all Common Stock equivalents, and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding securities convertible into Common Stock and the exercise of all stock options and warrants to purchase Common Stock outstanding immediately before any such conversion) as of, and after giving effect to, the conversion of this Note (the “Percentage Interest”).

(b)

Before the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company (or deliver a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement whereby the Holder agrees to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note) and shall give written notice, postage prepaid, to the Company at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Note. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter (but in any event within ten (10) days thereafter), without any further action needed by the Company, issue to the Holder a stock certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Percentage Interest; provided, however, that if the Holder gives the foregoing written notice to the Company after ninety (90) days following the date hereof, the Company shall, as soon as practicable after such notice is given (but in any event within ten (10) days thereafter), without any further action needed by the Company, either (i) indefeasibly pay all amounts due and owing under this Note in full or (ii) issue to the Holder a stock certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Percentage Interest. The conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the surrender of this Note, and the Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Common Stock as of such date.




(c)

In the event that the business of the Company is conducted by the Company and its affiliates through an entity other than the Company and any wholly-owned subsidiary, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note and the equity securities of such other entity(ies) representing an equity stake in such other entity(ies) equivalent to the Percentage Interest.




(d)

No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the Holder upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay cash to the Holder in the amount of outstanding principal and accrued interest that is not so converted.
