Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Shares may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement.  

 

  

  

  

 

(h)           Legend.  The Shares shall bear the following or similar legend:

 

“THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, NOR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY), IN AN ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.”

 

(i)           No Governmental Endorsement. Subscriber understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other governmental or state agency has passed on or made recommendations or endorsement of the Shares or the suitability of the investment in the Shares, nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares;

(j)           Receipt of Information.  Subscriber believes it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares.  Subscriber further represents that through its representatives it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the business, properties and financial condition of the Company and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to it or to which it had access; and

(k)           Highly Speculative Investment. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that a purchase of the Shares is highly speculative and involves significant risks and that the Shares should not be purchased if Subscriber cannot afford the loss of Subscriber’s entire investment. The business objectives of the Company are speculative, and it is possible that the Company may be unable to achieve them. Subscriber understands that Subscriber may be unable to realize a substantial return on the purchase of the offered Shares, or any return whatsoever, and may lose Subscriber’s entire investment. Subscriber fully understands the nature of the risks involved in purchasing the Shares and it is qualified by its knowledge and experience to evaluate investments of this type.  Subscriber has carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company and purchase of its securities and has independently evaluated the risks of purchasing the Shares.

  

  

  

(l)           Subscriber believes that the investment in the Shares is suitable for it based upon its investment objectives and financial needs, and it has adequate means for providing for its current financial needs and contingencies and has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Company.

(m)           Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and have obtained, in its judgment, sufficient information from the Company to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Company.  Subscriber has not utilized any person as its purchaser representative as defined in Regulation D under the 1933 Act in connection with evaluating such merits and risks.

(n)           Subscriber has relied solely upon its own investigation in making a decision to invest in the Company.

(o)           Subscriber has received no representation or warranty from the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees, or agents in respect of its investment in the Company and in making its investment in the Shares, Subscriber has not relied upon any information (written or otherwise) from them relating to this offering other than as set forth herein.

(p)           Subscriber is not participating in the offer as a result of or subsequent to: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

(q)           Subscriber hereby acknowledges and is aware that Subscriber is not entitled to cancel, terminate, or revoke this subscription, and any agreements made in connection herewith survives any death or disability of a natural person Subscriber.

(s)            No Market Manipulation.  Subscriber and Subscriber’s affiliates have not taken, and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that might reasonably be expected to, cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Common Stock, to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares or affect the price at which the Shares may be issued or resold.

(t)           Reliance on Exemptions.  The Subscriber understands that the Shares are being offered and sold or assigned to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and Subscriber’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Subscriber set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Shares.

 

  

  

  

 

(u)           The Subscriber has read the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, as well as the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC of Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, available at www.sec.gov.

 

3.           Company Representations and Warranties.  The Company represents, warrants and agrees with, Subscriber that:

(a)           Due Incorporation.  The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation;

(b)           Authority; Enforceability.  This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is the valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or principles of equity.  The Company has full corporate power and authority necessary to enter into and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder;

(c)           Consents.  No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court, governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or of any other person is required for the execution by the Company of this Agreement and compliance and performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares;

(d)           No Violation or Conflict.  Neither the issuance of the Shares nor the performance of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement will:

(i)           violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default (or an event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would be reasonably likely to constitute a default) under (a) the charter or bylaws of the Company or (b) any decree, judgment, order or determination applicable to the Company of any court, governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or over the properties or assets of the Company or (c) any contract, agreement, instrument or undertaking to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party; or

(i)           shall be free and clear of any security interests, liens, claims or other Encumbrances, subject only to restrictions upon transfer under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws;

(iii)           will not subject the holders thereof to personal liability by reason of being such holders;

 

  

  

  

 

(f)           Litigation.  There is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before or by any court, governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company including, without limitation, any such that would effect the execution by the Company or the complete and timely performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement.

(g)           Full Disclosure.  No representation or warranty or other statement made by the Company in this Agreement in connection with the contemplated transactions contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the representations and warranties set forth herein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

4.           Adjustments.  It is the intention of the Company and Subscriber that the Subscriber shall be able to sell (if Subscriber so elects, in Subscriber’s sole and absolute discretion) the Shares, and generate net proceeds (net of all brokerage commissions and other fees or charges payable by Subscriber in connection with the sale thereof) from such sale equal to the Purchase Price.  From the date that is six months from the date hereof until the first anniversary of the date hereof (the “Reconciliation Period”), the Subscriber shall have the right (but not an obligation) to sell the Shares in the Company’s principal trading market or otherwise, at any time in accordance with applicable securities laws.  At any time the Subscriber may elect during the Reconciliation Period, the Subscriber may deliver to the Company a reconciliation statement showing the net proceeds actually received by the Subscriber from the sale of the Shares (the “Sale Reconciliation”).  If, as of the date of the delivery by Subscriber of the Sale Reconciliation, the Subscriber has not realized net proceeds from the sale of such Shares equal to at least the Purchase Price, as shown on the Sale Reconciliation, then the Company shall immediately take all required action necessary or required in order to cause the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock to the Subscriber in an amount sufficient such that, when sold and the net proceeds thereof are added to the net proceeds from the sale of any of the previously issued and sold Shares, the Subscriber shall have received total net funds equal to the Purchase Price.  If additional shares of Common Stock are issued pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, and after the sale of such additional issued shares of Common Stock, during the Reconciliation Period, the Subscriber still has not received net proceeds equal to at least the Purchase Price, then the Company shall again be required to immediately take all required action necessary or required in order to cause the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock to the Subscriber as contemplated above, and such additional issuances shall continue until the Subscriber has received net proceeds from the sale of such Common Stock equal to the Purchase Price.  In the event additional Common Stock is required to be issued as outlined above, the Company shall instruct its Transfer Agent to issue certificates representing such additional shares of Common Stock to the Subscriber immediately subsequent to the Subscriber’s notification to the Company that additional shares of Common Stock are issuable hereunder, and the Company shall in any event cause its Transfer Agent to deliver such certificates to Subscriber within three (3) Business Days following the date Subscriber notifies the Company that additional shares of Common Stock are to be issued hereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt, upon expiration of the Reconciliation Period this Section 4 shall be of no further force or effect.

 

  

  

  

 

5.           Broker’s Commission/Finder’s Fee.  The Company on the one hand, and Subscriber on the other hand, agrees to indemnify the other against and hold the other harmless from any all liabilities to anyone claiming brokerage commission or similar fees on account of services purported to have been rendered on behalf of the indemnifying party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and arising out of such party’s actions, other than Garden State Securities, to whom the Company agrees and acknowledges to pay broker’s commissions in the form of (i) cash, in the amount equal to a 6.25% of the Purchase Price and (ii) stock, in the amount equal to 1.75% of the number of the Shares. The Company represents that to the best of its knowledge there are no other parties entitled to receive fees, commissions, finder’s fees, due diligence fees or similar payments in connection with the offering of the Shares.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Subscriber is providing indemnification only for such Subscriber’s own actions and not for any action of any other Subscriber.  The liability of the Company and each Subscriber’s liability hereunder is several and not joint.

6.           Covenants Regarding Indemnification.  Each party hereto agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the other party and the other party’s officers, directors, agents, counsel, affiliates, members, managers, control persons, and principal shareholders, as applicable, against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the indemnified party or any such person which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any breach of any representation or warranty by the indemnifying party in this Agreement or (ii) any breach or default in performance by the indemnifying party of any covenant or undertaking to be performed by the indemnifying party.

 

7.           Miscellaneous.

All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be (i) personally served, (ii) deposited in the mail, registered or certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) delivered by reputable air courier service with charges prepaid, or (iv) transmitted by hand delivery or facsimile, addressed as set forth on the signature pages hereto or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice.

Neither the Company nor Subscriber has relied on any representations not contained or referred to in this Agreement and the documents delivered herewith.

(c)           Counterparts/Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different signatories hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.  This Agreement may be executed by facsimile transmission, PDF, electronic signature or other similar electronic means with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

 

  

  

  

 

(d)           Law Governing this Agreement.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party hereto against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the State of New York.  The parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens.  The parties hereto agree to submit to the in personam jurisdiction of such courts and hereby irrevocably waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.

(e)           Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law.  Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(f)           Captions.

PROMISSORY NOTE

	
$50,000

	
Lancaster, PA

	
November 23, 2015

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, TETRIDYN SOLUTIONS, INC. (“Maker”), a Nevada corporation whose mailing address and principal office is 800 South Queen Street, Lancaster, PA 17603, USA, hereby promises to pay to JPF VENTURE GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Payee”), whose mailing address is 800 South Queen Street, Lancaster, PA 17603, up to the principal sum of FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS AND NO CENTS ($50,000), as represented by advances from time to time of the principal amount of this Note in lawful money of the United States of America for payment of private debts, together with interest (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed but computed as if each year consisted of 360 days) on the unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding at a rate, except as otherwise provided in this Note, of six percent (6%) per annum.

1.             Payments. All unpaid principal and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable within 90 days after demand.

2.             Time and Place of Payment. If any payment falls due on a day that is considered a legal holiday in the state of Delaware, Maker shall be entitled to delay such payment until the next succeeding regular business day, but interest shall continue to accrue until the payment is in fact made. Each payment or prepayment hereon must be paid at the office of Payee set forth above or at such other place as the Payee or other holder hereof may, from time to time, designate in writing.

3.             Prepayment. Maker reserves the right and privilege of prepaying this Note in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon 30 days’ written notice, without premium, charge, or penalty. Prepayments on this Note shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such prepayment, next to expenses for which Payee is due to be reimbursed under the terms of this Note, and then to the unpaid principal balance hereof.

4.             Conversion. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions contained herein, Payee is entitled, at its option, at any time prior to maturity, or in the case this Note or some portion hereof shall have been called for prepayment before such date, then for this Note or such portion hereof, until and including, but not after, the close of business within 30 days after the date of notice of prepayment, to convert this Note (or any portion of the principal amount hereof or accrued and unpaid interest hereon) into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest share) of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Maker (the “Shares”) at the rate of one share for each $0.03 of principal amount of this Note, by surrender of this Note, duly endorsed (if so required by Maker) or assigned to Maker or in blank, to Maker at its offices, accompanied by written notice to Maker, in the form set forth below, that Payee elects to convert this Note or, if less than the entire principal amount hereof is to be converted, the portion thereof to be converted. On conversion, Payee shall be entitled to payment of accrued interest on this Note through the date of conversion. No fractions of Shares will be issued on conversion, but instead of any fractional interest, Maker will pay cash adjustments as provided herein. Payee is entitled, at its option, to require that the exercise price be appropriately adjusted in the event of any stock splits, reverse-split, merger, consolidation, conversion, or any similar change in Maker’s common stock. Payee is also entitled, at its option, to require that the conversion price and number of shares issuable on conversion of this Note be appropriately adjusted in the event of any stock splits, reverse-split, merger, consolidation, conversion, or similar change in Maker’s common stock.  For the avoidance of doubt, it is explicitly agreed that if the Payee does not exercise these options, the exercise price, conversion price and number of shares shall remain unchanged after any stock splits, reverse-split, merger, consolidation, conversion, or any similar change in Maker’s common stock.

  

  

  

5.             Default.

(a)           Without notice or demand (which are hereby waived), the entire unpaid principal balance of, and all accrued interest on, this Note shall immediately become due and payable at Payee’s option upon the occurrence of one or more of the following events of default (“Events of Default”):

(i)           the failure or refusal of Maker to pay principal or interest on this Note within 10 days of when the same becomes due in accordance with the terms hereof;

(ii)          the failure or refusal of Maker punctually and properly to perform, observe, and comply with any covenant or agreement contained herein, and such failure or refusal continues for a period of 30 days after Maker has (or, with the exercise of reasonable investigation, should have) notice hereof;
