THESE SECURITIES, I. E., THIS DEBENTURE AND THE CONVERSION SHARES, HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS DEBENTURE AND THE CONVERSION SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THIS DEBENTURE OR THE CONVERSION SHARES UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT.


 


CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE


 


FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CodeSmart Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to Group 10 Holdings LLC (the “Holder”) or its registered assigns or successors in interest, the sum of Fifty Five Thousand Dollars ($55,000), together with all accrued interest thereon, on the first anniversary from the Effective Date, as hereinafter defined (the “Maturity Date”), if not sooner paid.


 


The following terms and conditions shall apply to this Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”):


 


ARTICLE I


INTEREST & AMORTIZATION


 


1.1           Contract Rate. Subject to Sections 4.1 and 5.7 hereof, interest payable on this Debenture shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to 12% (Twelve Percent) and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year.


 


1.2          Consideration. The principal sum of this Debenture Fifty Five Thousand Dollars ($55,000) plus accrued and unpaid interest and any other fees. The purchase price paid by Holder for the Debenture, which is the consideration received by Borrower for the Debenture, is Fifty  Thousand Dollars($50,000) payable by wire transfer or other immediately available funds. Thus, as of the date hereof, there exists a Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) Original Issue Discount (the “OID”). Interest shall accrue and be payable on the full principal amount of the Debenture, inclusive of the OID, and payment of the full principal amount (inclusive of OID) shall be required regardless of time and manner of payment or prepayment by Borrower. Upon conversion, Holder shall receive credit for the full principal amount converted (inclusive of the OID).


 


1.3           Payments. Payment of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under this Debenture (the “Principal Amount”), together with all accrued interest thereon shall be made on the Maturity Date.


 




  





  











  






 


1.4           Prepayment Option. Subject to the approval of the Holder for prepayments after 180 days, the Borrower may prepay in cash all or any portion of the Principal Amount of this Debenture and accrued interest thereon, with a premium, as set forth below (each a “Prepayment Premium”), upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the Holder. The Holder shall have the right to convert all or any portion of the Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon in accordance with Article II hereof during such ten (10) day notice period. The amount of such prepayment premium shall be determined by multiplying that portion of the Principal Amount and accrued interest to be converted, if any, by the then applicable prepayment percentage (the “Prepayment Percentage”). The Prepayment Percentage shall be as follows: (i) 25% (Twenty Five percent) if there is a Prepayment at any time 30 (Thirty) days after the Effective Date; (ii) 35% (Thirty Five Percent) if there is a Prepayment at any time 31 days until 179 days after the Effective Date; and (iii) 45% (Forty Five Percent), if there is a Prepayment at any time 180 days after the Effective Date.




 


ARTICLE II


CONVERSION REPAYMENT


 


2.1.           Optional Conversion. Subject to the terms of this Article II, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time after 180 days from the Effective Date and until the Maturity Date, or thereafter during an Event of Default, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees due and payable thereon into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Borrower (the “Common Stock”) at the Conversion Price (as defined below). The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion are herein referred to as the “Conversion Shares.”


 


2.2.           Calculation of Conversion Price. The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall be subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events. Subject to Section 4.6 hereof, the Conversion Price shall mean the Lesser of Sixty Five Percent (65%) multiplied by the lowest closing bid price of the twenty (20) trading days prior to the conversion, which represents a discount rate of Thirty Five Percent (35%) OR Eighty-Five Cents (0.85). The closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or applicable trading market (the “OTC Market”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e., Bloomberg) or, if the OTC Market is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded.

2.3.           Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the number of Conversion Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon conversion of this Debenture (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder's for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), does not exceed 4.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase, decrease or waive the provisions of this Section 2.3 as to itself but any such waiver will not be effective until the 61st (Sixty first) day after delivery thereof.


 


2.4.           Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion. Subject to Section 2.3 hereof, this Debenture will be converted by the Holder in part from time to time after the Issue Date, by submitting to the Borrower and/or the transfer agent of record a notice of conversion (“Notice of Conversion”) (whether by facsimile, as a Portable Document (PDF) file sent by electronic mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time). On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to the Borrower on the Conversion Date. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (the “Conversion Date”). A form of Notice of Conversion to be employed by the Holder is annexed hereto as Exhibit A. Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, Borrower shall issue instructions to the transfer agent within two (2) business days from the receipt of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by physical delivery or crediting the account of the Holder’s designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within two (2) business days after receipt by Borrower of the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Date”). In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein, the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised, and the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued, upon the date of receipt by Borrower of the Notice of Conversion. The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Common Stock, unless the Holder provides Borrower written instructions to the contrary.

2.5.           Late Payments. The Borrower understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock in the form required pursuant to this Article II beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss through willful or deliberate hindrances on the part of the Borrower, the Borrower agrees to pay late fees to the Holder for late issuance of such shares in the form required pursuant to this Article II upon conversion of the Debenture, in the amount equal to One Thousand U.S Dollars ($1,000) per business day after the Delivery Date. The Borrower shall pay any fees incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand and such fees shall also be eligible to be converted into Conversion Shares as set forth in this Article II.


 


2.6            Conversion Mechanics. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Debenture shall be determined by dividing that portion of the Principal Amount and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Conversion Price.


 


2.7           Authorized and Reserved Shares. The Borrower represents and warrants and covenants and agrees that upon issuance, the Conversion Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Debenture shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Debenture. At all times during which this Debenture is outstanding, the Borrower shall reserve from its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Conversion Shares. The Borrower agrees that it will take all such reasonable actions as may be necessary to assure that the Conversion Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the applicable trading market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Borrower agrees to reserve Five Million (5,000,000) shares of Common Stock from its authorized and unissued shares


 


2.8            Issuance of New Debenture. Upon any partial conversion of this Debenture, a new Debenture containing the same date and provisions of this Debenture shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Debenture and interest which shall not have been converted or paid. Subject to the provisions of Article III, the Borrower will pay no costs, fees or any other consideration to the Holder for the production and issuance of a new Debenture.


 


2.9           Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Debenture. As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to upon such conversion, the Borrower shall round up to the next whole share.

2.10         Par Value; Further Assurances.


 


(a)           The Borrower covenants that during the period that the Principal Amount of the Debenture and any accrued interest and fees thereon remain outstanding, it will ensure that the par value of any Conversion Shares shall not exceed the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such exercise. The Borrower further covenants that it shall take all appropriate actions, including, without limitation, amending its articles or certificate of incorporation and any other voluntary action, such as calling a meeting of shareholders to approve any such amendment, to ensure that the amount payable for any Conversion Shares shall at all times exceed the par value thereof by at least Four Hundred Percent (400%).


 


(b)           Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its articles or certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Debenture, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Debenture against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will (a) not increase the par value of any Conversion Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such exercise, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Borrower may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Conversion Shares upon the exercise of this Debenture and (c) use its commercially best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Borrower to perform its obligations under this Debenture.
