15% SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

Due On or Before July 18, 2019

BASANITE, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), for value received and intending to be legally bound, hereby promises to pay to the order of Michael Barbera (“Holder”), the principal amount of FIFTY THOUSAND Dollars (the “Principal Amount”) on or before July 18, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”), together with interest thereon at the rate of 15% per annum (the “Interest”), as set forth herein (the “Note”).

1.

Convertible Note: By accepting this Note, the Holder hereby acknowledges that this Note has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and Holder represents for himself and his legal representative that he is acquiring this Note and will acquire any shares issued upon conversion hereof, for his own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of such securities and Holder agrees to reaffirm, in writing, this investment representation at the time of exercise of the conversion right set forth herein.

2.

Principal and Interest Payment: The Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) interest to the Holder on the aggregate unconverted and then outstanding principal amount of this Note at the rate of 15% per annum, accrued monthly and payable on the Maturity Date of February 18, 2019, unless the Note is converted or prepaid prior to the Maturity Date, in which case all accrued interest through the conversion or prepayment date shall become payable.

3.

Conversion of Note: This Note may be converted into shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”), at any time, at the option of the Company as follows:

(a)

Automatic Conversion: Subject to and upon compliance with the provision of this Section 3, if the Company has not paid the unpaid principal and interest balance on or before the Maturity Date the unpaid principal and interest balance of the Note shall be converted in whole into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company(the “Shares”) at the conversion rate equal to $0.05 per share,

 

except as otherwise adjusted below (the “Conversion Price”). At such time that the Automatic Conversion is effected, the Company shall immediately also issue a warrant to Holder to purchase Common Stock of the Company, amount of shares to be determined by dividing $50,000 by the exercise price of the warrant, $0.075 per share. The conversion date shall be the date that such Conversion is completed. Upon conversion of the entire principal balance, the principal represented thereby shall be canceled. Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder and shall be transferrable only in accordance with all of the terms and restrictions contained herein. Holder represents that he is an accredited investor and has reviewed the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has not relied on any other information when entering into this Note.

(b)

Fractional Shares: No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

(c)

Subdivision or Combination: Whenever the Company shall subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or combination shall be proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination effective at the time of such subdivision or combination.

(d)

Reclassification or Change: Whenever any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall occur (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par, or from no par to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), effective provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall have the right, at any time thereafter, to receive upon conversion of the Note the kind of stock, other securities or property receivable upon such reclassification by a holder of the number of share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note immediately prior to such reclassification. Thereafter, the rights of the parties hereto with respect to the adjustments of the amount of securities or other property obtainable upon conversion of this Note shall be appropriately continued and preserved, so as to afford as nearly as may be possible protection of the nature afforded by this subparagraph (e).

(e)

Mergers If, prior to repayment of the obligations relevant hereto, or prior to conversion of this Note into equity in the Company, the Company shall be consolidated or merged with another company, or substantially all of its assets shall be sold to another company in exchange for stock wit[h] the view to distributing such stock to its shareholders, each share of stock into which this Note is convertible shall be replaced for the purposes hereof by a pro rata amount of the securities or property issuable or distributable, based upon percentage of the Company’s common stock which a Holder would have owned had there been a conversion herein after consummation of such merger, consolidation or sale and adequate provision to that effect shall be made at the time thereof. The Company will provide the Holder at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any event described in this subsection (f).

4.

Reservation of Common Shares: The Company shall take or has taken all steps necessary to reserve a number of its authorized but unissued Common Stock sufficient for issuance upon conversion of this Note pursuant to the provisions included hereinabove.

 

5.

Securities Laws and Restrictions: This Note and the Common shares issuable upon conversion have not been registered for sale under the Act, and neither this Note nor those shares nor any interest in this Note nor those shares may be sold, offered for sale, pledged or otherwise disposed of without compliance with applicable securities laws, including, without limitation, an effective registration statement relating thereto or delivery of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company that such registration is not required under the Act. Holder has reviewed the Company’s periodic and annual reports as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Reports”) and has based its investment decision solely on the information contained in the SEC Reports. Holder represents and warrants that it is an “accredited investor” as defined under the Act.

6.
