DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Our Corporate History

 

We were incorporated in Nevada on May 28, 1999 as Paragon Polaris Strategies.com, Inc. In May 2010, we merged with Texas Hill Country Barbecue, Inc., and on June 2, 2010, changed our name to Texas Hill Country Barbecue, Inc. On August 21, 2010, we filed our Initial Company Information and Disclosure Statement with the OTC Markets, changed our name to Texas Hill Country Barbecue, Inc. and our stock-trading symbol to “THCB”. In March 2013, we changed our name to South American Properties with the new stock symbol of “SAMP”. In October 2014, we changed our name to USA Restaurant Funding, Inc. and our trading symbol to “USAR.” Effective on March 24, 2016, we changed our name to The Chron Organization, Inc. and our stock trading symbol to “CHRO”. We are now engaged in the business of selling retail smart home technologies with plans to sell electric energy to retail customers in Texas.

 

Business Overview

 

Our business model is built around the philosophy that smart home services such as automation and video safety, the Internet of Things (IoT), energy conservation, and overall responsible decision making that supports sustainability are burgeoning trends. Combined, these are creating two megatrends known as the “Internet of Everything” and the “Smart Home”. Towards making our claim in this emerging industry, we have built a “Smart Services” platform and have plans to launch a “Retail Energy Platform” that when combined are expected to position us to become a provider of a unique suite of products and services to both residential and commercial customers. Currently, we are engaged in the business of (i) selling retail smart home technology, controls and monitoring services, (ii) commercial energy conservation equipment, LED lighting and lighting controls, and (iii) residential and commercial energy utility services following the completion of our planned acquisition of Enertrade Electric, LLC (“Enertrade”) discussed below.

 

As part of our smart home technology offering, we provide home automation, controls, security, video, and energy conservation services to homeowners through our wholly owned subsidiary, Zen Technologies, Inc. (“Zen”). We provide eight core product packages, designed to accommodate a range of home configurations from the one-bedroom townhome all the way up to the 6,000-square foot single-family home. The basis for our core product offering is to, at a minimum, automate the customers’ lights, locks, and thermostats; from here, the customer can add video options, or other technologies for entertainment or comfort (e.g. smart doorbell, automated blinds or smart water sprinkler systems). For our business-to-business sector, we offer a Zero Cost Program™. This is a turnkey solution that will upgrade older, inefficient equipment and lighting controls at no up-front cost to our client with the cost of the Program paid for out of the savings it creates. The Zero Cost Program is facilitated through an industry standard agreement referred to as a Managed Energy Services Agreement (“MESA”). Under the MESA, Zen is obligated to develop, arrange financing for, install and maintain all energy efficiency measures and equipment installed by Zen. Zen retains ownership of all installed equipment. The minimum term of the MESA is from four to five years. We conduct an energy audit of a prospective customer from which we forecast the estimated amount of electricity, natural gas and/or water to be consumed over a year. Under the terms of the MESA, our customers are obligated to pay Zen a portion of their savings in utility costs following the installation of our equipment. Such payments are made on a monthly basis over the term of the agreement. Zen fees are only paid if a customer realizes a reduction in its utility usage rates. We determine the creditworthiness of customers by assessing their credit score, assurance that the customer has been in business for at least eight years and review of the customers most current financial statements. Zen seeks to utilize third party financing entities to provide project and strategic financing towards fulfilling its working capital requirements to acquire and install the equipment required under the MESA.

 

In our retail energy sector, through a Texas PUC approved and licensed “Retail Electric Provider” or “REP”, we plan to target our base of customers in both our smart home technology and commercial sectors. We believe that the combination of our smart controls technologies and energy conservation products, coupled with the ability to provide retail energy services following completion of our planned acquisition of Enertrade, will provide us with a significant advantage over our competitors. Furthermore, we believe this combination will allow us to provide a very unique value proposition to the customer.

 

We do not know whether we will be able to successfully implement our business strategy or whether our business strategy will ultimately be successful. Our growth strategy is largely dependent on our ability to successfully increase sales in our existing retail smart home technologies business and develop synergies with that business following the completion of our plans to engage in the sale of electric energy to retail customers in Texas by acquiring Enertrade. As is typically the case involving products and service offerings, anticipation of demand and market acceptance are subject to a high level of uncertainty. The success of our products and planned service offerings primarily depends on consumer interest and acceptance. In general, achieving market acceptance for our products and planned energy utility services will require substantial marketing efforts and the expenditure of significant funds, which we may not have available, to create awareness and demand among customers and clients. Furthermore, the completion of the acquisition of Enertrade is dependent on our ability to raise the funds we need to complete the purchase and complete the conditions to closing discussed below. See “Zen Energy, Inc. (wholly-owned subsidiary) - Entry into the Energy Marketplace” of this Item 1.

 

Business Strategy & Roadmap

 

The following sets forth the Company’s three-phase deployment plan:

 

Phase I: 6-12 Months (From Official Launch of Zen Technologies Brand - September 2016))

 

The Company has executed its soft launch by leveraging white label technologies from strategic vendors and implementing a proprietary blend and product offering using the same. It has established its brand and mission and is mastering order processing via its customized proprietary e-commerce platform: zenhomeservices.com and livewithzen.com. The Company has also begun targeting business customers (commercial, industrial, and municipal) through its innovative Zero-Cost Program TM rollout, wherein it has several noteworthy clients already under engagement.

 

Phase II: 12-24 Months

 

The Company plans to deploy its energy offering following completion of the acquisition of Enertrade, converging its services to become seamless in its integration of Smart Home technology and green energy services. The Company expects to launch new sales channels toward dominating the markets. In addition to homeowners and apartment dwellers, the Company plans to target business accounts (commercial, industrial, and municipal).

 

  - 4 -  
     

 

Phase III: >24 Months

 

The Company plans to deploy a proprietary Zen IoT (Internet of Things)/Automation platform that will be designed to feature one of a kind and/or first of its kind features and services designed to facilitate our customers’ lives. This platform is expected to create a considerable base of intellectual property for the Company while also significantly reducing our cost to serve each customer with respect to the monthly service fee. We plan to establish credibility, notoriety, and a strong lobbying position in the industry. The Company expects to create innovative benchmarking metrics for mass adoption of its products and services. Additionally, the Company plans to focus on the unique value proposition of its offerings: automation/lifestyle, protection/security, energy efficiency, water conservation, and cost-efficient social responsibility.

 

Zen Technologies, Inc.

 

Zen is currently in the early stages of rolling out its products and services; meaning that we are capable of being fully operational, however, we are still in the process of identifying the most effective sales and marketing channels as we work towards perfecting our operating processes, policies and procedures. Zen is a 21st century home services company whose mission is to bring all the benefits of the “Smart Home” to millions of homeowners across the United States; including smart controls and innovative energy products and services to business customers. Zen provides eight different Smart Home packages that cover all dwelling/living scenarios including apartments and up to 6,000 square foot single-family homes. These packages enable a homeowner to automate their lights, locks, and thermostats. These also include video solutions, security, monitoring, and an application that can accommodate all smart home appliances (washers, dryers, dish washers, refrigerators, coffee makers, blinds, water sprinkler systems and entertainment systems) that may be added at the time of purchase or at a later date. Zen plans to combine its exclusive and customizable product solutions with green energy services, which is expected to allow our consumers to save money on their monthly energy costs while reducing their long-term carbon footprint. Today, Zen supports approximately 50 different stock keeping units (SKUs), however, the Company plans to expand that number to nearly a thousand over the next 12-18 months. In that spirit, a very recent and noteworthy development was Zen’s approval to become a Bose™ distributor.

 

Additionally, with Zen’s Zero Cost Program™, the Company has entered into the commercial side of the industry with the ability to upgrade its customers with the latest energy saving equipment and controls at no upfront cost to them. This line of equipment and services includes, but is not limited to, LED lighting, weatherization services, motor controllers, EC motor controllers, HVAC accessories, smart devices and controls, solar, geo-thermal generation, oxidized water solutions, energy capacitors and energy storage devices.

 

The Smart Home Market

 

We believe that based on the benefits of our products and their affordability,   the time is ripe for consumers to adopt this wave of home automation. Smart home solutions and related technologies are increasingly becoming mainstream by allowing customers to control and dial up most everything in their home, from remotely turning on and off lights, switches and appliances, adjusting and setting the thermostat, to seeing who’s at the front door or reviewing video footage of what happened in the living room a few hours earlier, and so much more.

 

Consumer Confidence & Maturation

 

According to a report by iControl Networks 1   , the Smart Home Market is projected to grow into a $121.73 billion a year industry by 2022, and the typical family home will consist of 500 smart devices by that same year. The report further noted it would be the automation of lights, locks, and thermostats (energy usage), and video monitoring playing a cornerstone role in the bridge to mainstream consumerism. Some key statistics show that:

 

70% are excited about the potential cost savings from energy efficiency and monitoring
48% are excited about the convenience in programming home settings and maintenance
47% are excited about the potential to help the environment with greater energy efficiency

 

Smart Home Product Offerings

 

Historically, the ability to have a Smart Home (automated controls for lights, locks and thermostats – combined with entertainment systems), was a luxury only affordable to the affluent. According to our research, we have estimated the average entry price for a system at $150,000. However, thanks to advances in technology, standardization in data protocols, bandwidth abundance, and consumer demand, the overall ability for the average homeowner to enjoy a Smart Home has become a reality today. Herein lies the Zen mission – to make the Smart Home a reality for the masses .

  - 5 -  
     

 

Zen’s product packages, which cover a range of dwelling types and living scenarios, are designed to allow homeowners to automate their lights, locks, and thermostats among other compatible devices. It should be noted that by design, all of our product packages can be viewed as a “starting point”. Customers can add items on an a-la-carte basis, such as extra video cameras, blinds, extra sensors, entertainment options (TV, entertainment centers, sound systems), appliances (washers, dryers, refrigerators, coffee makers), intercom systems, and many other technology options. As an example, we have included an image of the Zen Smart Pro Home Automation & Security Kit. This is one of our eight different packages and is ideal for homes up to 2,500 square feet.

 

Zen Smart Pro

 

 

Zero-Cost Program   ™ For Commercial, Industrial and Municipal Customers

 

The Zero-Cost Program™ is a turnkey solution that will upgrade older, inefficient equipment and lighting controls at no up-front cost to our client and future service fees are effectively paid for out of the savings it creates.

 

The process for the Program starts with a site survey to determine the current equipment and operating environment of the prospective customer. Once a survey is complete, Zen creates a proposal detailing the solutions needed in order to maximize savings out of that individual business. Every business is different and solutions are tailored for each business. Upon approval from the customer, Zen will install the upgrades, controls and components that power the customer’s business, enabling it to be more energy-efficient. The savings is expected to range anywhere between 15% and as much as 60%.

 

The Zero-Cost Program works through a “Services Agreement”. This means that our clients will have no initial upfront costs. This Services Agreement carries a full warranty for the term of the initial agreement. The business are expected to begin saving money immediately from lower energy consumption. Through the Services Agreement, Zen will finance the equipment and installation for all the chosen upgraded technologies and conservation solutions, which are billable in a separate invoice over the term of the agreement.

 

Over the first quarter of 2017, Zen has created a pipeline of commercial prospects and has acquired eight commercial clients, representing approximately 400 different actual locations where site surveys are being scheduled. These include convenience stores, gas stations, hotels, and schools, several with the initial phase of installations already underway while we are seeking credit approval from some. For example, one of our clients owns a chain of over 50 convenience stores (with gas stations). Zen also entered into a referral agreement with The Oklahoma Groceries Association (the “Groceries Association”) representing over 1,800 locations to offer this Program to its members. We pay the Groceries Association an agreed on portion of the revenues we collect from the MESA’s we enter into with members of their association. Additionally, Zen has entered into a referral agreement with one of the largest suppliers of equipment and services in the hotel industry, which owns and/or manages over 300 hotels and represents thousands of locations nationwide. We pay this company an agreed on portion of the revenues we collect from the MESA’s we enter into with customers they refer to us.

 

Marketing

 

The Company plans to utilize several distribution channels for our product offerings including, but not limited to, the following:

 

Company Branded & Affiliate Internet Marketing: This encompasses our own Internet marketing efforts, as well as working with third party websites that provide utility connection services to new homeowners or families moving into a new city.
   
Referral Partner Network: Also, known as an “Agent Network”, is a network of independent contractors who serve as referral sources for our products and services in exchange for an ongoing commission fee. This model has been the source of most all of our “Zero-Cost” customers and prospects to date.
   
Network Marketing Channels: Also referred to as “Multi-Level-Marketing” or “Direct Sales Organizations”, these consist of groups of independent contractors who market and serve as distributors for similar or related products and services. We are currently engaged in discussions with several different Network Marketing entities for the purposes of entering into a joint marketing/client vendor relationship.

 

  - 6 -  
     

 

Homebuilders: It is common for homebuilders to work with home alarm companies as they develop and begin to market homes. While we are still in the early stages, we believe that his trend is being replaced by working with Smart Home companies instead of traditional home alarm companies. We are in early stage discussions with these types of companies today and expect to establish our first relationship sometime in the latter part of 2017.
   
Door-to-Door Teams: These are traditional marketing channels that are used by other industries such as cable, internet, pesticide, energy, and/or home alarm services companies. While this model requires a considerable capital commitment, it can be very effective and methodical. We plan on launching such channels sometime in 2018.

 

Operations

 

Chairman, Mr. Byron Young and CEO and President, Mr. Alex Rodriguez, two renowned entrepreneurs with a proven track record of building hyper-growth companies, lead our management team. Together, they represent a combined 40 years of experience in the deregulated services industries (telecommunications, wireless, internet services, electricity and natural gas retail services). Under this executive leadership duo, we have begun to build a management team comprising senior management members who represent an additional 50 years of cumulative experience in the home alarm, home automation, and home entertainment industries.

 

We have developed a fully customized, internal enterprise resource planning (ERP) system (“Zen Plus”) that is designed to allow us to accommodate thousands of customer enrollments from a myriad of marketing channels, on a national basis. Zen Plus allows the Company to automate and manage, in real time, customers’ needs from point of sale through logistics and installation, and all the way through the renewal process at the end of the three or five-year service term. We believe that this operational infrastructure will allow us to deliver a consistent, quality customer experience.

 

Furthermore, our fully integrated customer experience allows our sales representatives, customer service representatives and installation technicians to work closely together to provide the customer with an integrated process from contract origination to daily use. We believe that our customer service representatives deliver a quality customer service experience that enhances our brand and improves customer satisfaction. Customer service representatives will generally resolve most maintenance and service related questions over the telephone or through remote-access to the customer’s system.

 

Field Service Operations

 

We have created a network of professional third-party field service technicians (“FSTs”) throughout the United States, who reside in their service territories, to provide prompt service to our residential and commercial customers. FSTs undergo comprehensive training on our products and service packages. FSTs are also trained and equipped to handle everything from installation to general day-to-day maintenance or services issues that may come up. Many of our FST’s are independent contractors or third party service organizations whom provide outsourced service personnel for several service providers such as cable or alarm companies.

 

We do not maintain a costly physical warehouse, retail or office locations for our FSTs. Instead, we provide FSTs with adequate supplies of products and materials. Field service inventories are replenished by shipments that are processed through the Zen Plus platform and made from our strategic suppliers straight to the customer’s location. The Zen Plus platform is fully integrated with all of our various trading partners, such as monitoring stations, infrastructure providers, ordering systems, and logistical and shipment systems. Moreover, it provides a user interface and/or log-in capabilities for Zen employees, Zen FST’s, and even for customers, wherein they can make payments, research past billing history or make ad-hoc product purchases. The Zen Plus platform also schedules appointments, routes technicians, and follows up with customers to ensure that every service was performed to their satisfaction.

 

Customer Service and Alarm Monitoring

 

Our customer service center is in Dallas, Texas and is staffed with our employees.  Hours of operation are Mon - Fri from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Central Standard Time. We have contracted with a third-party for monitoring facilities that are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. All employees who work in our customer service department undergo training on regulatory requirements, general corporate, product and technical training and billing related issues. Customer service representatives are required to pass background checks and, depending upon their job function, may require licensing by certain state jurisdictions.

 

Key Systems

 

As previously stated above, we have developed our own customized ERP/CRM software platform, which we implemented in August of 2016. This operating platform is an integrated enterprise resource planning and a customer relationship management and billing system, which we’ve aptly named “Zen Plus”. The Zen Plus system is based on a well-established enterprise-scale cloud solution. We believe that the Zen Plus system will be able to scale with our business, providing the flexibility to accommodate the multiple customer support and billing models resulting from the anticipated expansion in our product and service packages over time. It also allows for operational efficiency by not requiring the entry of data multiple times and improving data accuracy.

 

  - 7 -  
     

 

Billing

 

Customers can enroll through any of our various enrollment websites or by an inbound telesales call into our call center to make their initial order; these orders are paid for electronically either via ACH or credit card. After the initial enrollment process, customers are then billed each month for our monitoring service. This is done electronically through ACH or credit card details each customer provided during their enrollment process, all of which is managed through and by the Zen Plus platform.

 

Competition and Competitive Landscape

 

We believe that the Smart Home industry is disparate and fragmented because of its infancy. To date, there are only a handful of players in the industry that would be considered full-fledged Smart Home Services providers – most of them brand new companies with very little market share. Today, the segment is getting growth from three different types of companies. The first types are traditional home alarm companies; these are longstanding companies that have built legacy businesses out of fear-based marketing tactics in order to sell alarm systems. They are working diligently on pivoting their business models. The second types are hardware manufacturers; these are companies that create some type of hardware and/or line of hardware that can be used and implemented by the user in his/her home. Most these companies sell under the Do-It-Yourself (“DIY”) model; examples include notification devices, cameras, or thermostats. The third type typically encompass local or regional companies (small businesses) that focus on providing low voltage hardwire services while selling high-end entertainment systems.

 

We believe that the only true player in home automation has been industry giant, Crestron Electronics (“Crestron”). This company meets all of the requirements to qualify as a true smart home product line. However, Crestron operates in a niche market of high net worth individuals or families, with product offerings not affordable to the masses. According to most industry experts, the entry-level price for a Crestron system is in the $150,000 range. These types of systems rule out the masses, which is Zen’s target audience – from $100,000- townhomes up to $2,000,000 single-family homes.

 

To further contrast against the industry at large, Zen is positioned as a modern technology and utility company making the Smart Home a reality for the masses by offering affordable home automation, security, and energy conservation/management products and services. Like the bigger, more established players, Zen also offers traditional security services, with a deliberate focus on a customizable turnkey solution for small to medium-sized businesses.

 

Zen Energy, Inc. (Wholly-Owned Subsidiary)

 

Background on Energy Industry and Deregulation

 

Until the 1980s, generation, transmission, distribution and sales/marketing or supply of electricity and natural gas in the United States were conducted by local publicly-funded monopolies. In the 1980s and 1990s, state legislatures began passing laws designed to create competitive retail sales and supply in the natural gas markets. Electricity deregulation in the United States followed approximately a decade later with 24 states  that allow the resale of electricity in one form or another.

 

Electricity Industry Overview

 

There are three primary components of the electricity industry:

 

Generation: Electricity is most often generated at a power plant or station. The industry employs a variety of technologies to generate electricity such as traditional thermal (coal, natural gas, and oil), nuclear power, as well as renewable resources, including wind, water, sunlight, biofuels, and wood waste. Historically, government and private investor-owned utility companies controlled the electricity generation component.

 

Transmission & Distribution: Following the generation of electricity, high voltage transmission lines carry the electricity throughout the power system to electrical substations. In many markets, Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs) manage the electricity flows, maintain reliability, and administer transmission access for the electric transmission grid in a defined region. RTOs and ISOs coordinate and monitor communications among the generator, distributor and Energy Retailer. Additionally, RTOs and ISOs manage the real-time electricity supply and demand. The transmission system is regulated by FERC.

 

Once the electricity has been transmitted through the high voltage power grid, Local Distribution Company’s (LDCs) direct the electricity from the high voltage transmission systems to lower voltage distribution networks, which ultimately connect the ‘‘last mile’’ to the customer. These networks are comprised of lines of various voltage levels, substations, transformers, and meters. These lines are regulated by state public utility commissions and managed by the LDCs.

 

  - 8 -  
     

 

Retail Sales of Energy (Customer Service & Billing): In states that have authorized deregulation or retail competition, Energy Retailers (also referred to as “Retail Energy Providers”) market and sell electricity to end-users, providing customers with alternatives to purchasing their electricity from their LDC. Energy Retailers typically do not generate electricity and instead buy wholesale electricity from a variety of sources, including, but not limited to, directly from a generation facility, from financial institutions, from the ISOs and RTOs, or from energy companies that actively trade power. Energy Retailers then resell the electricity to end-user customers at unregulated rates, earning the difference between the delivered wholesale price and the end-user price.

 

Retail Electricity Market

 

The retail electricity market can be categorized into two main customer segments: (i) residential and small business, and (ii) large commercial and industrial. Energy Retailers operate in the retail electricity market by providing a variety of renewable, fixed and variable rate electricity contracts to customers for varying periods of time. In general, large commercial and industrial customers are serviced by fixed price contracts for up to five years. By contrast, residential and small-to-medium size commercial customers are typically serviced by short-term month-to-month variable price contracts or fixed term, fixed price contracts for up to one or two years. Some Energy Retailers focus only on one customer segment (e.g. residential), while others focus on the full spectrum of customers.

 

In many cases (dependent by state), Energy Retailers may use the LDC to invoice and collect from customers for energy supply and other costs. Under arrangements entered into between the Energy Retailers and the LDCs, LDCs remain responsible for the delivery of the electricity from the ISO or RTO to the customer’s residence or place of business. This ensures reliability to the markets.

 

Competitive Landscape

 

The deregulation of the electricity industry is a practice that has been occurring since the 1990’s. However, because of the complex nature and various aspects of the energy industry, the pace has been slow. The reason behind this is that the deregulation of the energy industry happens upon two, in some cases, three different frameworks. First, you have the wholesale aspects of the energy industry, which include the building of, owning and managing independent power plants or power trading companies. Secondly, you have the retail aspect of deregulation. In some cases, these happen at a federal level, however, in most cases of the retail aspects of deregulation, this must occur on a state-by-state basis, as it is largely a legislative action. The legislative action must then be followed up and supported by the respective Independent System Operator (ISO), in other words “the grid” in that geographic area.

 

As it pertains to Zen Energy, we plan to enter into and expand into all deregulated energy markets, however, today, we are exclusively concerned with and focused on the retail electric industry in the state of Texas, otherwise known as the ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) market.  The deregulation of Texas has been considered by many industry insiders and policy makers as the “poster child for deregulation”, as cited by ABACCUS Report in the Albany Times when reporting that the state of “New York ranked 2 nd best for electricity competition”, after the Texas market taking 1 st place 2 . This is mostly because it has been very successful; it has been an economic stimulus and has fostered competition. Texans pay among the lowest electricity rates in the nation and the age of innovative products in electricity is now showing early signs of potential success. This latter aspect is where Zen Energy plans to differentiate itself from the rest of the market.

 

As of the time of this filing, there are well over 100 entities that are licensed as a Retail Electric Provider in the state of Texas. However, only approximately 60 of these are operational and of these 60, some are focused only on commercial customers, some only on residential, and a few equally on both of these customer demographics. Moreover, of the 60 operational Retail Energy Providers, it is safe to assume that only approximately 15 to 20 are relevant; by this, we mean any Retain Energy Provider that is serving over 10,000 customers.

 

Since 2009 and the constant of low natural gas prices, most markets, including Texas, have experienced a very low cost of goods sold. This has brought most Retail Energy Providers into a margin game where they are paying very little attention to the actual value they could bring to their customers. Very few are focused on their value and even fewer are focused on being different. Most of the differentiation in the market is around who can write their contracts more creatively to fool their customers.

 

Conversely, Zen Energy plans to enter the market differently with most of our focus on our differentiation and the value we plan to bring to customers. Zen Energy’s plans are different in the following ways:

 

Smart Home Offering: Texas and its consumers have spent a fortune building out a mass smart meter infrastructure that is uniform throughout the entire deregulated territory; however, there is very little to show for this massive investment in the way of product innovation. Zen Energy plans to bring an entire portfolio of Smart Home solutions, positioning itself to become the leader in the industry that can control lighting, air conditioning, major appliances, and the electricity meter. No other Energy Retailer offers this capability.

Time of Use Products (TOU) and Renewable Focused: Zen Energy plans to offer a fully integrated TOU electricity product to work in conjunction with its smart home solutions to completely integrate a consumer’s behavior with their energy usage. A TOU product offers a variable price throughout the day so that consumers can adjust their behavior to coincide with lower energy prices. Additionally, Zen Energy plans to purchase primarily from renewable sources, so consumers can be assured to know they are doing their part in contributing to a cleaner environment and more sustainable lifestyle.
   
Demand Response: This term essentially means the ability to turn off (or power down) energy-consuming devices during peak times when energy prices are at their highest. In the Texas market place, energy prices change every 15 minutes throughout the day. During the peak season, it’s not uncommon for prices to increase 10, 50, or even 100-fold during super peak hours. Zen Energy will have the opportunity to offer customers on-demand, demand-response options that will allow customers to participate in revenue share opportunities.

 

Energy Business Operations

 

The Company plans to take advantage of synergies between Zen Technologies, Zen Energy and ultimately, Enertrade following completion of its acquisition, customer services, marketing, and most all back-office functions would be considered shared services between the companies. The most important functions that require subject matter experts include customer provisioning and energy risk management (procurement, margin control, forecasting, and wholesale settlements). For these two areas, the Company has begun the hiring process for the appropriate managers and executives.

 

Entry into the Energy Marketplace

 

The Company plans to enter the retail electricity market by acquiring a Texas-based licensed Retail Electric Provider. The Company is in the final stages of completing its acquisition of Enertrade pursuant to the terms of an agreement entered into between the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Zen Energy and Enertrade, whereby Zen Energy has agreed to acquire 80% of Enertrade from its members (the “Sellers”). Conditions precedent to closing the transaction include, but are not limited to, (i) the Sellers obtaining all material consents, approvals, permits, authorization from, notifications to, and filings with any governmental entities including, without limitations, the Texas Public Utilities Commission (PUCT) and (ii) all approvals, consents and waivers shall have been obtained from Enertrade’ s wholesale supplier.

 

The purchase price for the interest in Enertrade is $1,500,000 with the initial payment of $500,000 at closing (subject to certain adjustments that may increase or decrease the initial amount) and a $1,000,000 promissory note without interest (subject to be adjusted downward for any increase in the initial payment) and payable in two equal installments, the first of which is due 90 days from the closing date and the second due 180 days from the closing date. The Company was obligated to close this transaction no later than March 21, 2017. Although the Company did not close by this date, the parties have continued to pursue obtaining the required consents in cooperation with Enertrade and the Sellers and have an oral understanding with such parties to extend the closing date while pursuing such consents.

 

As partial consideration for the Sellers’ retention of an interest in Enertrade, the Sellers or their principals agreed to enter into a services agreement pursuant to which the Sellers shall be obligated to present to the Company all opportunities to provide retail electricity and electric services to residential and commercial consumers within the Republic of Mexico as and when such opportunities arise and pursuant to which the Company will agree to purchase electricity supply to service such Republic of Mexico business opportunities accepted by the Company subject to credit terms established by its supplier.

 

Employees

 

As of the date of this filing, we had approximately ten full-time employees, excluding our installation technicians, sales representatives, contract IT developers and certain other support professionals. None of our employees are currently represented by labor unions or trade councils. We believe that we generally have good relationships with our employees. Most our employees are located in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metropolitan area. We maintain a satisfactory working relationship with our employees and have not experienced any labor disputes.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. There are no legal proceedings currently pending against us that we believe would have a material effect on our business, financial position or results of operations, and, to the best of our knowledge, there are no such legal proceedings contemplated or threatened.

The Company has accounted for discontinued operations prior to January 1, 2016 under Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity . Under this guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. In November 2015, the Company has exited the restaurant industry and has shifted its strategy to home automation and energy conservation services. Management believes this adequately qualifies as a strategic shift under Update No. 2014-08. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has not generated any revenue from its new services. A reconciliation of amounts included in the statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 as follows:

 

    2015  
Revenue   $ 20,100  
Selling general and administrative expenses     (201,161 )
Other Expenses     (3,531 )
Loss from continued operations   $ (184,592 )

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Business Overview

 

Our business model is built around the philosophy that smart home services such as automation and video safety, the Internet of Things (IoT), energy conservation, and overall responsible decision making that supports sustainability are burgeoning trends. Combined, these are creating two megatrends known as the “Internet of Everything” and the “Smart Home”. Towards making our claim in this emerging industry, we have built a “Smart Services” platform and have plans to launch a “Retail Energy Platform” that when combined are expected to position us to become a provider of a unique suite of products and services to both residential and commercial customers. Currently, we are engaged in the business of (i) selling retail smart home technology, controls and monitoring services, (ii) commercial energy conservation equipment, LED lighting and lighting controls, and (iii) residential and commercial energy utility services following the completion of our planned acquisition of Enertrade discussed below.

 

We plan to organically grow our business operations in retail smart home technology, controls and monitoring services and commercial energy conservation equipment, LED lighting and lighting controls through increased marketing and sales. Furthermore, we plan to continue to work towards fulfilment of the conditions precedent to complete our planned acquisition of Enertrade as discussed in this report. We do not know whether we will be able to successfully implement our business strategy or whether our business strategy will ultimately be successful. Our growth strategy is largely dependent on our ability to successfully increase sales in our existing retail smart home technologies business and develop synergies with that business following the completion of our plans to engage in the sale of electric energy to retail customers in Texas by acquiring Enertrade. As is typically the case involving products and service offerings, anticipation of demand and market acceptance are subject to a high level of uncertainty. The success of our products and planned service offerings primarily depends on consumer interest and acceptance. In general, achieving market acceptance for our products and planned energy utility services will require substantial marketing efforts and the expenditure of significant funds, which we may not have available, to create awareness and demand among customers and clients. Furthermore, the completion of the acquisition of Enertrade is dependent on our ability to raise the funds we need to complete the purchase and complete the conditions to closing discussed below. For these reasons and our limited operating history, we cannot currently predict our future revenues or expenses.

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

 

The following comparative analysis on results of operations was based primarily on the comparative financial statements, footnotes and related information for the periods identified below and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this registration statement. The results discussed below are for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. For comparative purposes, we are comparing the three months ended March 31, 2017, to the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Revenue.  Total revenue was $4,832 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase is primarily a result of the Company’s soft launch of its selling retail smart home technology and controls and monitoring services during the first quarter of 2017.

 

Cost of goods sold and Gross Profit (loss) . Our cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $7,491 compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase is a result of increases in our sales. Our gross profit (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was ($2,659) compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increases are a result of increases in our sales. We are not able to predict what our cost of goods and expected gross profits will be in remaining periods in fiscal 2017 as we are evaluating our pricing was we ramp up our marketing efforts following the recent soft launch of our product and service offering.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses . Total selling, general and administrative expenses were $478,968 and $137,916 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to increases in selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the development of our product and service offering and ramping up our sales efforts, consisting primarily of increases in salary and wages of $169,189, advertising and promotions of $49,200, rent of $38,292, travel and entertainment of $32,208, insurance of $15,131, IT expenses of $20,268 and other expenses totaling $16,764.

 

Loss from operations and net loss . Loss from operations and net loss were ($545,677) and ($169,785) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in operating expenses, other expenses cost of goods sold, partially offset by an increase in revenues. We expect continued loss from operations for the foreseeable future as we ramp up our sales efforts in our existing business.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. We had a working capital deficit of $884,291 and $--11,060 of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2017.

 

Net cash flow used in operating activities was $425,444 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $90,281 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $335,163. The increase is primarily a result of the net loss associated with the launch of our current business.

 

Net cash flow used in investing activities was $17,706 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 as compared to nil for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the $17,706 was used to develop software.

 

Our primary source of liquidity has been proceeds from the issuance of debt securities and equity securities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $402,500 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $212,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we received $135,000 from the sale of common stock, $125,000 from the sale of preferred stock, $82,500 from proceeds from convertible promissory notes, $40,000 from proceeds from notes payable and $20,000 from proceeds from issuance of stock in our subsidiary. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we received net proceeds of $150,000 from the sale of common stock and $62,500 from the sale of convertible promissory notes.

 

Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2015

 

Certain portions of the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 have been classified as discontinued operations and therefore are not comparable. Comparative information for continued operations for 2016 as compared to 2015 follows:

 

Operations

 

The Company reported a net loss of $1,771,738 and $315,856 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a loss from continuing operations of $1,537,563 and 62,546 for the same periods and an accumulated deficit of $2,328,890 and $557,152 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase in net loss is primarily a result of factors noted below. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $529,476 and $140,221 respectively, and negative cash flow from continuing operating activity of $1,205,814 and $62,546, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company reported $5,051 in revenue with cost of sales of $20,431 for a gross loss of $15,380 as compared to nil for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase is primarily a result of the Company’s soft launch of its products during the fourth quarter of 2016.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $ 1,522,183 in 2016 as compared to $62,546 in 2015 for an increase of $1,459,637. This increase is a result of our efforts to launch our current business and consisted primarily of increases in salary and wages of $876,691, legal and professional expense of $138,726, Advertising and promotions of $148,236, travel and entertainment of $74,026 and other expenses totaling $222,715.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. We had a working capital deficit of $529,476 and $51,710 of cash as of December 31, 2016.

 

Net cash flow used in operating activities was $1,205,814 for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $62,546 for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $1,143,268. The increase is primarily a result of the launch of our current business.

 

Net cash flow used in investing activities was $66,710 for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to nil for the year ended December 31, 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the $66,710 was used to develop software.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,324,234 for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $247,138 for the year ended December 31, 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we received $687,234 from the sale of common stock, $75,000 for subscription for common stock that had yet to be issued and $562,000 from the sale of convertible promissory notes.. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we received net proceeds of $247,138 from the sale of convertible promissory notes.

 

Our primary source of liquidity has been proceeds from the issuance of debt securities and sales of common stock. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued 2,368,300 shares of its Class A common stock to providers of professional services to the Company, in lieu of the payment of cash for such services. The value of the transactions total approximately $42,500. During the same period, the Company has issued 282,753,210 shares and $687,234. Additionally, during 2016, the Company sold convertible promissory notes totaling $562,000.

 

  - 12 -  
     

 

Subsequent to year end, the Company sold 14,333,334 shares of its restricted Class A common stock for $65,000 in a private placement subject to Rule 144. Additionally, on March 17, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement containing convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) and Warrants. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes is $165,000 to be taken down in two $82,500 tranches of which the Company has taken down the first tranche. The notes are convertible at a price equal to the lower of $.03 per share or 60% of the lowest closing price for the Company’s Common Stock on the Trading Market for the 20 Trading Days prior to the conversion. Additionally, upon funding of each tranche, three year warrants for 500,000 shares of the Company’s restricted Class A common stock shall be granted with an exercise price of $0.03 and $0.05 respectively. 

 

Cash Requirements

 

Our management does not believe that our current capital resources will be adequate to continue operating our company and maintaining our business strategy for more than 12 months. Accordingly, we will have to raise additional capital in the near future to meet our working capital requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, if and when it is needed, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and the audited financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company reports a net loss of ($545,677) and ($169,785) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively and an accumulated deficit of $(2,874,567) as of March 31, 2017. In addition, the Company reported a net loss of $1,771,738 and $315,856 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $2,328,890 and $557,152 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. At March 31, 2017, December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $884,291, $529,476 and $140,221 respectively, and negative cash flow from continuing operating activity of $425,444, $1,205,814 and $62,546, respectively.

 

The Company’s revenue from operations is not sufficient to meet its working capital needs and will be dependent on funds raised to satisfy its ongoing capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. The Company will require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion or respond to competitive pressures, any of these circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified the following policies below as critical to its business and results of operations. Our reported results are impacted by the application of the following accounting policies, certain of which require management to make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact quarterly or annual results of operations. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as expected, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs.

 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Key estimates in the accompanying financial statements include, among others, revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.

 

The financial statements are presented on the basis of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Other than continued current involvement, some transactions prior to December 31, 2015 have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the financial statements included in this Registration Statement.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Cash on-hand at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $11,060 and $51,710, respectively. There were no cash equivalents on-hand at December 31, 2015.

 

  - 13 -  
     

 

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes sales, which include shipping fees where applicable, net of estimated returns, at the time the customer takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When the Company collects payments from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amounts received are generally recorded as deferred sales, included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, until the sale or service is completed. The Company reserves for estimated sales returns based on historical trends in merchandise returns, net of the estimated net realizable value of merchandise inventories to be returned and any estimated disposition costs. Amounts collected from members, which under common trade practices are referred to as sales taxes, are recorded on a net basis.

 

Software Development Costs – The Company capitalizes certain expenditures to the development of its software application. Capitalization begins when technological feasibility is established. Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the developed product.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature - The Company accounts for convertible notes payable in accordance with the guidelines established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No 98-5 To Certain Convertible Instruments. The Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”) of a convertible note is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain notes payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a BCF related to the issuance of a convertible note when issued and records the estimated fair value of any warrants issued with those convertible notes. Beneficial conversion features that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recorded when the contingency is resolved.

 

The BCF of a convertible note is measured by allocating a portion of the note’s proceeds to the warrants, if applicable, and as a discount on the carrying amount of the convertible note equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature, both of which are credited to additional paid-in-capital. The value of the proceeds received from a convertible note is then allocated between the conversion features and warrants and the debt on an allocated fair value basis. The allocated fair value is recorded in the financial statements as a debt discount (premium) from the face amount of the note and such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note (or to the conversion date of the note, if sooner) and is charged to interest expense.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

We implemented all new accounting standards that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements. We do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

Item 5. Directors and Executive Officers.

 

The following table sets forth the names, positions and ages of our directors and executive officers as of the date of this Registration Statement. Each director is elected at our annual meeting of shareholders and holds office for three years, or until his successor is elected and qualified. Officers are elected by our board of directors and their terms of office are at the discretion of our board.

 

Name   Age   Position
Alex Rodriguez   42   President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer & Director
Byron T. Young   42   Chairman of the Board & Treasurer

 

Alex Rodriguez has served as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and as a member of our board of directors since December 2015. Mr. Rodriguez has 15 years of energy experience and a total of 20 years of business experience at the C-Level across the energy, telecom and information technology industries. Mr. Rodriguez is a business development and marketing executive that has successfully launched five different companies that were collectively responsible for nearly $6 billion in sales revenue over the course of his career in the energy industry. This experience includes, but is not limited to the following private companies SYNRG Marketing (Chief Business Officers & Partner) and Utility Choice Electric (VP of Sales & Marketing) from 2001 through 2003, AmPro Energy (VP if Business Development) from 2003 through 2004, Stream Energy and Ignite (Founder & Managing Partner) from 2004 through end of 2009. In August 2004, Mr. Rodriguez co-founded and served as Managing Partner of Stream Energy, a fast-growing retail energy provider that provided electricity and natural gas services to approximately 400,000 customers and grossed over $2 billion within the first four years of operation. Upon his exit from Stream Energy in late 2009, Mr. Rodriguez founded and still serves as Chairman of NAUP Capital, LP (today known as NAUP Investments, LLC), which is an energy holding company and venture development firm with holdings in energy, solar, energy brokerage and energy software related entities. In his position at NAUP, Mr. Rodriguez founded and grew several companies. Diversegy LLC and EPIQ Energy, LLC were among these NAUP projects. Rodriguez served as CEO for these companies and was successful in selling both of these companies to an NYSE publicly traded energy company (Genie Energy) in December of 2013.

 

  - 15 -  
     

 

Diversegy LLC is a national energy brokerage company that advises commercial, industrial and municipal customers regarding their natural gas and power needs. The board of directors believes that Mr. Rodriguez’s experience in business development and successful growth and sales in the energy industry, as well as his understanding of energy sector business operations, will be valuable in executing our business strategy.

 

Byron T. Young has served as our Treasurer and as our Chairman of the Board since December 2015. As the Company’s Chairman, Mr. Young oversees the Company’s vision, growth, strategies and expansion efforts. He has over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience founding several technology-based companies and leading them through an exit strategy and/or into profitable growth stages. His experience encompasses the telecommunications, wireless, software and energy industries. In the early 1990s, Mr. Young founded several paging services companies that operated profitably through the peak of the paging services space. This led him to found a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (C-LEC) in 2001 under the name of Extel Enterprises, which was ultimately sold to publicly traded Usurf America, Inc. in 2004. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Young founded a Retail Energy Provider in 2005 under the name Young Energy, LLC, which provides electricity and natural gas services to residential and commercial customers in Texas and where Mr. Young currently serves as a senior advisor and board member. Most recently, in 2010, Mr. Young founded Assist Wireless, a wireless communication company providing prepaid cellular voice and data as well as government subsidized lifeline services to over 130,000 customers across four states. He currently serves as CEO of Assist Wireless. The board of directors believes that Mr. Young’s experience founding and operating technology-based companies provides him with an intimate knowledge of our day-to-day operations, business and competitive environment, as well as our opportunities, challenges and risks.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

None of our directors, executive officers, significant employees or control persons has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.

 

Corporate Governance

 

Our board of directors has not established any committees, including an audit committee, a compensation committee or a nominating committee, or any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our board. Because we do not have any independent directors, our board believes that the establishment of committees of our board would not provide any benefits to our company and could be considered more form than substance.

 

We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates that may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our officers and directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our officers and directors have not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our board of directors.

 

Given our relative size and lack of directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all current members of our board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.

 

As with most small, early stage companies until such time as we further develop our business, achieve a stronger revenue base and have sufficient working capital to purchase directors’ and officers’ insurance, we do not have any immediate prospects to attract independent directors. When we are able to expand our board to include one or more independent directors, we intend to establish an audit committee of our board of directors. It is our intention that one or more of these independent directors will also qualify as an audit committee financial expert. Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our board of directors include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an audit committee or other committee of our board.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We expect that we will adopt a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. Once adopted, we will make the code of business conduct and ethics available on our website at www.chronorganization.com . We intend to post any amendments to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, on our website.

Board Structure

 

Our Board has not chosen to separate the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board in recognition of the fact that our operations are sufficiently limited that such separation would not serve any useful purpose.

 

Role of Board in Risk Oversight Process

 

Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risk and for identifying our risk exposures and communicating such exposures to our board. Our board is responsible for designing, implementing and overseeing our risk management processes. The board does not have a standing risk management committee, but administers this function directly through the board as a whole. The whole board considers strategic risks and opportunities and receives reports from its officers regarding risk oversight in their areas of responsibility as necessary. We believe our board’s leadership structure facilitates the division of risk management oversight responsibilities and enhances the board’s efficiency in fulfilling its oversight function with respect to different areas of our business risks and our risk mitigation practices.

 

Communications with the Board of Directors

 

Stockholders with questions about the Company are encouraged to contact the Company by sending communications to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer at 15505 Long Vista Drive, Suite 250, Austin, Texas 78728. If stockholders feel that their questions have not been sufficiently addressed through communications with the Chief Executive Officer, they may communicate with the Board of Directors by sending their communications to the Board of Directors, c/o the Chief Executive Officer at the same address.

 

Director Compensation

 

Historically, our non-employee directors have not received compensation for their service outside the compensation set forth in the Summary Compensation Table below, but we may compensate our directors for their service in the future. We reimburse our non-employee directors for reasonable travel expenses incurred in attending board and committee meetings. We also intend to allow our non-employee directors to participate in any equity compensation plans that we adopt in the future.

 

Item 6. Executive Compensation.

 

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

The following table summarizes all compensation recorded by us in the past two fiscal years for:

  up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been required but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer at December 31, 2016.

Loan from Chairman

 

On November 20, 2015, the Company issued a convertible secured promissory note in the amount of up to $200,000 of which $193,000 in loan advances have been made by Mr. Young to the Company. Interest on the amount outstanding under the note accrues at an annual rate equal to the lesser of 2.0% or the highest lawful rate, as defined in the note. The outstanding principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on December 31, 2016. Through an amendment to the note, the due date has been extended to April 1, 2017.

 

The note may be prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty to the extent that Mr. Young has not exercised his conversion rights.

 

Upon an event of default, Mr. Young may declare all amounts due under the note due and payable without the need to give notice or demand. Events of default under the note include the failure to pay any amount due under the note and a failure to remedy the nonpayment within five calendar days and the bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or other similar event of the Company.

The note may be transferred upon prior written notice to the Company to ensure compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.

In further consideration for the $200,000 loan to the Company, the Company issued Mr. Young a warrant to purchase 32,166,667 shares of its Class A Common Stock that may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time until the last calendar day of the month in which the fifth anniversary of the issuance date occurs.

 

The exercise price of the warrant is the greater of (i) $0.05 or (ii) 200% of the conversion price per share of Common Stock as defined in the convertible promissory note. If the market price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the exercise price, Mr. Young may elect a cashless exercise pursuant to the terms set forth in the warrant.

 

The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrant are subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specific events, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reclassifications of our Common Stock, as well as the issuance of options or other rights to purchase Common Stock at a price less than the exercise price of the warrant.

 

Subject to applicable laws, the warrant may be transferred at Mr. Young’s option in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.

 

Policy Regarding Transactions with Related Persons

 

We do not have a formal, written policy for the review, approval or ratification of transactions between us and any director or executive officer, nominee for director, 5% stockholder or member of the immediate family of any such person that are required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. However, our policy is that any activities, investments or associations of a director or officer that create, or would appear to create, a conflict between the personal interests of such person and our interests must be assessed by our Chief Executive Officer and must be at arms’ length.

During the three years ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued shares as follows:

 

On November 20, 2015, the Company issued a convertible secured promissory note in the amount up to $200,000 of which $193,000 in loan advances have been made by Mr. Young to the Company.

Crown Bridge Financing

 

Effective on June 8, 2017, the Company and Crown Bridge Partners, LLC (“Crown Bridge”) completed the sale of a convertible promissory note and warrant as provided for in a: (i) Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), (ii) Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”), and (iii) the Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Crown Bridge Warrant”) all of which were dated May 31, 2017 (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”). Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, Crown Bridge agreed to purchase a promissory note in the amount of $46,000 for a purchase price of $40,000 and the Crown Bridge Warrant to purchase 920,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.

 

As set forth in the SPA, the Purchase Price for the Note was $40,000, thereby reflecting an original issue discount of $6,000 (i.e., the spread between the face amount of the Note of $46,000 and the purchase price of $40,000). The Note carries a prorated original issue discount of $6,000.00 and bears interest at the rate of 5% per year.

 

- 22 -
 

 

The Note was funded and the transaction closed on June 8, 2017 pursuant to which Crown Bridge paid for the benefit of the Company $40,000. The Note matures on May 31, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”). The material features of the Note, the SPA and Crown Bridge Warrant are set forth below. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms are defined in the Note, the SPA and the Crown Bridge Warrant, as applicable.

 

Interest accrues daily on the outstanding principal amount of the Note at a rate per annum equal to 5% on the basis of a 365-day year. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of the lesser of (i) twelve (12%) per annum or (ii) the maximum amount allowed by law from the due date thereof until the same is paid. The principal amount of the Note and interest are payable on the Maturity Date.

 

Crown Bridge is entitled to, at any time or from time to time, convert the Note into shares of our common stock, at a conversion price per share equal to sixty percent (60%) of the lowest traded price of the common stock during the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of the date of conversion, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Note. The conversion price of the Note is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events. In addition, the conversion price is subject to adjustment if we issue or sell convertible promissory notes that are convertible for a consideration per share less than the conversion price then in effect or includes a longer look back period than provided in the Note. If this should occur, the conversion price is reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable or in the case of a more favorable look back period, the look back period shall be adjusted to such greater number of days. The Note contains representations, warranties, events of default, beneficial ownership limitations, prepayment options, and other provisions that are customary of similar instruments.

 

The Note is not convertible to the extent that (a) the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by Crown Bridge and (b) the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note or otherwise would result in the beneficial ownership by Investor of more than 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock. This ownership limitation can be increased or decreased to any percentage not exceeding 9.99% by Crown Bridge upon 61 days notice to us.

 

The Crown Bridge Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years and entitles the holder to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. The exercise price of the Crown Bridge Warrant is subject to proportional adjustment in the event of stock splits, recapitalizations and similar corporate events. In addition, the exercise price of provided for in the Crown Bridge Warrant is subject to adjustment if the Company issues or sells shares of its Class A Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the conversion price or exercise price then in effect, or issue options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchange for shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a conversion or exercise price less than the conversion price or exercise price then in effect. If any of these events should occur, the exercise price each will be reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable. In addition, the Crown Bridge warrants may become exercisable on a cashless basis if the market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock exceeds the exercise price then in effect.

 

Securities Law Exemption Analysis – Crown Bridge

 

The issuance of the securities to Crown Bridge discussed above were not registered under the Securities Act, but qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The securities were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of such securities by the Company did not involve a “public offering,” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the transaction, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. The Company did not undertake an offering in which it sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, Crown Bridge had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act since it agreed to, and will receive, instruments bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, the Company has met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Nevada Law and Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation

 

Provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) and our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, would be expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids our board of directors may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us will outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

 

- 26 -
 

 

Blank Check Preferred Stock

 

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide for the authority to issue up to 40,000,000 shares of “blank check” Preferred Stock, of which 2,000,000 have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock as described above. The balance of the Preferred Stock, which if issued, could make it more difficult and could discourage a third party from acquiring us.

 

Prohibition on Cumulative Voting

 

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors.

 

Removal of Directors

 

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that a director may only be removed from office for cause by a vote of the majority of shares entitled to vote at a meeting of the shareholders held for the purpose of removing a director.

 

Authorized but Unissued Shares

 

Our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock are available for future issuance without shareholder approval. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

 

Interested Stockholder Statute

 

We are subject to Nevada’s Combination with Interested Stockholders Statute (NRS Law Sections

78.411 and 78.444) which prohibits an “interested stockholder” from entering into a “combination” with the Company, unless certain conditions are met. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, beneficially owns (or within the prior two years, did beneficially own) 10% or more of the Company’s capital stock entitled to vote.

 

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

NRS limits or eliminates the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation include provisions that require the Company to indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the NRS, our directors or officers against monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer of our company, or for serving at our request as a director or officer or another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation also provide that we must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to our directors and officers, subject to our receipt of an undertaking from the indemnified party as may be required under the NRS. We are also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance to protect our company, our directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities.

 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions under the NRS and in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. However, these provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights, or those of any stockholder, to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s fiduciary duties. Moreover, the provisions do not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The registrar and transfer agent for our Common Stock is Securities Transfer Agent Corp located at 2591 Dallas Parkway, Suite 102, Frisco, Texas 75034, (466) 633-0101.

 

Item 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Subsection 1 of Section 78.7502 of the NRS empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she (i) is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the NRS or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Section 78.138 of the NRS provides that, with certain exceptions, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that (i) his or her act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer, and (ii) his or her breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.

Subsection 2 of Section 78.7502 empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she (i) is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the NRS, or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

 

Section 78.7502 further provides that to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (1) and (2), or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense. Subsection 3 of Section 78.751 of the NRS provides that the indemnification provided for by Section 78.7502 does not exclude any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled (except that indemnification will generally not be available to a director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his or her acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action) and that the indemnification shall continue for directors, officers, employees or agents who have ceased to hold such positions, and inures to the benefit of their heirs, executors and administrators.

 

Section 78.752 of the NRS empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, for any liability asserted against him or her and expenses incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such whether or not the corporation has the power to indemnify him or her against such liabilities or expenses. We maintain a customary directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy.

 

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify any person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a defendant or respondent to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding and any investigation that could lead to such action, suit or proceeding, because such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or, while a director or officer, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner or other agent of another corporation or other entity, against any judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. In addition, the Company is authorized to advance such reasonable expenses to such person for such actions.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may be permitted to our directors, officers or control persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

THE CHRON ORGANIZATION, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2017

 

1. Organization – Nature of Operations

 

The Chron Organization, Inc. (the “Company” or “CHRO”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 28, 1999. On March 24, 2016 FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.) approved the name and CUSIP change from USA Restaurant Funding, Inc. to The Chron Organization, Inc. ( OTC PINK : CHRO ). The Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to “The Chron Organization, Inc.”, to reflect the change in direction of the Company’s business to s mart home technologies and the next generation in energy utility services .

 

While the FINRA-registered name prior to March 24, 2016 and other registrations may imply and continue to imply an association with the restaurant industry, the Company has no plans or intentions to develop any business within that industry. Further, the entirety of the management team formally associated with the restaurant industry have resigned and new management has been brought in to transition the Company into a different industry entirely.

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Zen Technologies, Inc. The Company intends to provide home automation and energy conservation services to home owners through Zen Technologies, Inc. The services will include but are not limited to security, monitoring, and automation control that will enable the customer base to run a safe and efficient home. In addition to these services the Company will also provide electricity needs to its customer base through its retail electricity provider subsidiary.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Zen Energy, Inc. The Company intends to provide and sell retain and commercial electricity to consumers.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principals of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Chron Organization, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Zen Technologies, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Key estimates in the accompanying financial statements include, among others, revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.

 

The financial statements are presented on the basis of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. See further information in Note 3. Going Concern .

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

 

Prepaid Expenses – As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 prepaid expenses totaled $14,647 and $28,750, respectively. The balance of prepaid expenses consists of business insurance and rent related expenses.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments and includes this information in the notes to consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. The estimated fair value of accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As stated above, the Company has discontinued its restaurant activities and as such has determined that the restaurant related assets have no future value and therefore have been written off at December 31, 2015. The carrying value of short- and long-term debt also approximates fair value since these instruments bear market rates of interest. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Stock – Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The dilutive shares outstanding at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows:

 

    March 31, 2017     December 31, 2016  
             
Related party convertible promissory notes   $ 64,333,333     $ 64,333,333  
Related Party Warrants     32,166,667       32,166,667  
Convertible promissory notes     52,500,000       25,000,000  
Warrants     11,875,000       10,000,000  
Diluted shares outstanding   $ 160,875,000     $ 131,500,000  

 

  F- 4  
 

 

Income Taxes – The Company estimates its current tax position together with its future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depreciation and other reserves for tax and accounting purposes. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Management must then assess the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, prior year carryback, or future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. To the extent management believes that recovery is unlikely, management establishes a valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, its deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against its deferred tax assets. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty these assets will be used in the future.

 

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes sales, which include shipping fees where applicable, net of estimated returns, at the time the customer takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When the Company collects payments from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amounts received are generally recorded as deferred sales. They are included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, until the sale or service is completed. The Company reserves for estimated sales returns based on historical trends in merchandise returns, net of the estimated net realizable value of merchandise inventories to be returned and any estimated disposition costs. Amounts collected from members, which under common trade practices are referred to as sales taxes, are recorded on a net basis.

 

Software Development Costs – The Company capitalizes certain expenditures to the development of its software application. Capitalization begins when technological feasibility is established. Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the developed product.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature - The Company accounts for convertible notes payable in accordance with the guidelines established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No 98-5 To Certain Convertible Instruments. The Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”) of a convertible note is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain notes payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a BCF related to the issuance of a convertible note when issued and records the estimated fair value of any warrants issued with those convertible notes. Beneficial conversion features that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recorded when the contingency is resolved.

 

The BCF of a convertible note is measured by allocating a portion of the note’s proceeds to the warrants, if applicable, and as a discount on the carrying amount of the convertible note equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature, both of which are credited to mezzanine equity. The value of the proceeds received from a convertible note is then allocated between the conversion features and warrants and the debt on an allocated fair value basis. The allocated fair value is recorded in the financial statements as a debt discount (premium) from the face amount of the note and such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note (or to the conversion date of the note, if sooner) and is charged to interest expense.

 

Classification - The Company had classified the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible note mezzanine equity on the consolidated balance sheets as the stock was contingently redeemable. Upon the occurrence of certain change in control events that are outside the Company’s control, including liquidation, sale or transfer of the Company, holders of the convertible preferred stock could cause redemption for cash. Pursuant to ASC 480-10-S99-3A, the SEC finds that a BCF should be separated from a convertible instrument and recorded in additional paid-in capital. However, Company’s filing with the SEC should present BCF as mezzanine equity in order to distinguish them from permanent equity. The balance sheet reflects the redeemable equity instruments as mezzanine equity separate from permanent equity.

 

3. Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company reported a net loss of $545,677 and $169,785 for the three months ended March 31, 2017and 2016, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $2,874,567 at March 31, 2017, and $2,328,890 at December 31, 2016. At March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficit of $884,291 and $529,476, respectively, and negative cash flow from continuing operating activity of $425,444 and $90,281 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

  F- 5  
 

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent on the success of management’s plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

During the 2017 fiscal year, the Company intends to continue its efforts to raise funds to support its efforts through the sale of equity and/or debt securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company has raised $402,500 from sales of its common stock, preferred stock, and notes payable.

 

To the extent the Company’s operations are not sufficient to fund the Company’s capital requirements, the Company may attempt to enter into a revolving loan agreement with financial institutions or attempt to raise capital through the sale of additional capital stock or through the issuance of debt. At the present time, the Company does not have a revolving loan agreement with any financial institution.

 

4. Notes Payable

 

On March 29, 2017, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement (the “March 2017 Promissory Note”) with a third-party in the amount of $40,000. The promissory note carries an interest rate of 10% per annum and has a maturity date of May 15, 2017. As additional consideration for entering into the Note, the Company issue to the third-party note holder a warrant for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of common stock in the Company, exercisable at two cents ($0.02) per share for a period of one year from the date of issue (the “Warrant”).

7. Income Taxes

 

No provision for federal income taxes has been recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and twelve months ended December 31, 2016, as the Company has a net operating loss carry forward for income tax purposes available in each period. Additionally, it is uncertain if the Company will have taxable income in the future so a valuation allowance has been established for the full value of net tax assets. The deferred tax asset consists of net operating loss carry forwards and the Company has no deferred tax liabilities.

 

At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of $977,353 and $713,387, respectively for federal income tax purposes. This net operating loss carry forwards may be carried forward in varying amounts until 2036 and may be limited in their use due to significant changes in the Company’s ownership.

 

    March 31, 2017     December 31, 2016

Less: valuation allowance     (977,353 )     (713,387 )
Net deferred tax asset   $ -     $ -  

 

The Company has valued its net deferred tax asset at zero with a valuation allowance due to the substantial doubt taxable income will be generated in the future to utilize the deferred tax asset.

9. Merger

 

On July 1, 2016, the Company exchanged 165,000,000 shares of the Company’s unregistered shares of common stock for 100% of the outstanding common stock of Chron Energy, Inc. (“CEI”), a Nevada corporation to related parties (consisting of the company’s Chief Compliance Officer and an LLC managed by the Company’s President). CEI possessed intellectual property and strategic relationships (the “Assets”) that are integral to the Company’s entrance into the home automation and retail electric provider markets. Generally, the total acquisition consideration price would be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the total of estimated fair values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed would then be recognized as goodwill. At the date of merger, CEI had no liabilities and the Assets had no carrying value on the books. Since the acquisition was with related parties, no increase in the carrying value of the Assets or goodwill can be realized on the books of the Company.

 

There was no change of control of the Company as a result of the Merger. See above Note 8 . Related Party Transitions .

The Note was funded and the transaction closed on June 8, 2017 pursuant to which Crown Bridge paid for the benefit of the Company $40,000. The Note matures on May 31, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”). The material features of the Note, the SPA and Crown Bridge Warrant are set forth below. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms are defined in the Note, the SPA and the Crown Bridge Warrant, as applicable.

 

Interest accrues daily on the outstanding principal amount of the Note at a rate per annum equal to 5% on the basis of a 365-day year. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of the lesser of (i) twelve (12%) per annum or (ii) the maximum amount allowed by law from the due date thereof until the same is paid. The principal amount of the Note and interest are payable on the Maturity Date.

The conversion price of the Note is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events. In addition, the conversion price is subject to adjustment if we issue or sell convertible promissory notes that are convertible for a consideration per share less than the conversion price then in effect or includes a longer look back period than provided in the Note. If this should occur, the conversion price is reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable or in the case of a more favorable look back period, the look back period shall be adjusted to such greater number of days. The Note contains representations, warranties, events of default, beneficial ownership limitations, prepayment options, and other provisions that are customary of similar instruments.

 

The Note is not convertible to the extent that (a) the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by Crown Bridge and (b) the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note or otherwise would result in the beneficial ownership by Investor of more than 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock. This ownership limitation can be increased or decreased to any percentage not exceeding 9.99% by Crown Bridge upon 61 days notice to us.

 

The Crown Bridge Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years and entitles the holder to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share.

If any of these events should occur, the exercise price each will be reduced to the lowest price at which these securities were issued or are exercisable. In addition, the Crown Bridge Warrants may become exercisable on a cashless basis if the market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock exceeds the exercise price then in effect.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors and Shareholders

The Chron Organization, Inc.

Plano, Texas

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of The Chron Organization, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Chron Organization, Inc. as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the accompanying financial statements, the Company has recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, which raises doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this mater are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

THE CHRON ORGANIZATION, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015

 

1. Organization – Nature of Operations

 

The Chron Organization, Inc. (the “Company” or “CHRO”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 28, 1999. On March 24, 2016 FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.) approved the name and CUSIP change from USA Restaurant Funding, Inc. to The Chron Organization, Inc. (OTC PINK: CHRO). The Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to “The Chron Organization, Inc.”, to reflect the change in direction of the Company’s business to smart home technologies and the next generation in energy utility services.

 

While the FINRA-registered name prior to March 24, 2016 and other registrations may imply and continue to imply an association with the restaurant industry, the Company has no plans or intentions to develop any business within that industry. Further, the entirety of the management team formally associated with the restaurant industry have resigned and new management has been brought in to transition the Company into a different industry entirely.

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Zen Technologies, Inc. The Company intends to provide home automation and energy conservation services to home owners through Zen Technologies, Inc. The services will include but are not limited to security, monitoring, and automation control that will enable the customer base to run a safe and efficient home. In addition to these services the Company will also provide electricity needs to its customer base through its retail electricity provider subsidiary.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principals of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Chron Organization, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Zen Technologies, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Key estimates in the accompanying financial statements include, among others, revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.

 

The financial statements are presented on the basis of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Other than continued current involvement, some transactions prior to December 31, 2015 have been reclassified as discontinued operations in these financial statements. See further information in Note 7. Discontinued Operations .

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

 

Prepaid Expenses – As of December 31, 2016 prepaid expenses totaled $40,750. The balance of prepaid expenses as of December 31, 2016, consists of business insurance and rent related expenses. There were no prepaid expenses at December 31, 2015.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments and includes this information in the notes to consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. The estimated fair value of accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. As stated above, the Company has discontinued its restaurant activities and as such has determined that the restaurant related assets have no future value and therefore have been written off at December 31, 2015. The carrying value of short- and long-term debt also approximates fair value since these instruments bear market rates of interest. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

 

F- 20
 

 

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Stock – Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The dilutive shares outstanding at December 31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

 

    December 31, 2016     December 31, 2015  
             
Convertible promissory notes   $ 22,924,901     $ 20,000,000  
Related party convertible promissory notes     64,333,333       43,666,667  
Related Party Warrants     32,166,667       21,833,333  
Warrants     10,000,000       -  
Diluted shares outstanding   $ 129,424,901     $ 85,500,000  

 

Income Taxes – The Company estimates its current tax position together with its future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depreciation and other reserves for tax and accounting purposes. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Management must then assess the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, prior year carryback, or future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. To the extent management believes that recovery is unlikely, management establishes a valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, its deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against its deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty these assets will be used in the future.

 

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes sales, which include shipping fees where applicable, net of estimated returns, at the time the customer takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When the Company collects payments from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amounts received are generally recorded as deferred sales, included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, until the sale or service is completed. The Company reserves for estimated sales returns based on historical trends in merchandise returns, net of the estimated net realizable value of merchandise inventories to be returned and any estimated disposition costs. Amounts collected from members, which under common trade practices are referred to as sales taxes, are recorded on a net basis.

 

Software Development Costs – The Company capitalizes certain expenditures to the development of its software application. Capitalization begins when technological feasibility is established. Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the developed product.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature - The Company accounts for convertible notes payable in accordance with the guidelines established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No 98-5 To Certain Convertible Instruments. The Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”) of a convertible note is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain notes payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a BCF related to the issuance of a convertible note when issued and records the estimated fair value of any warrants issued with those convertible notes. Beneficial conversion features that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recorded when the contingency is resolved.

 

The BCF of a convertible note is measured by allocating a portion of the note’s proceeds to the warrants, if applicable, and as a discount on the carrying amount of the convertible note equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature, both of which are credited to mezzanine equity. The value of the proceeds received from a convertible note is then allocated between the conversion features and warrants and the debt on an allocated fair value basis. The allocated fair value is recorded in the financial statements as a debt discount (premium) from the face amount of the note and such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note (or to the conversion date of the note, if sooner) and is charged to interest expense.

 

F- 21
 

 

 

Classification - . Pursuant to ASC 480-10-S99-3A, the SEC finds that a BCF should be separated from a convertible instrument and recorded in additional paid-in capital. However, Company’s filing with the SEC should present BCF as mezzanine equity in order to distinguish them from permanent equity. The balance sheet reflects the redeemable equity instruments as mezzanine equity separate from permanent equity.

 

3. Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company reported a net loss of $1,771,738 and $315,856 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $2,328,890 and $557,152 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $529,476 and $140,221 respectively, and negative cash flow from continuing operating activity of $1,205,814 and $62,546, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent on the success of management’s plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

During the 2016 fiscal year, the Company intends to continue its efforts to raise funds to support its efforts through the sale of equity and/or debt securities. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the Company has raised $687,234 from sales of its common stock.

 

To the extent the Company’s operations are not sufficient to fund the Company’s capital requirements, the Company may attempt to enter into a revolving loan agreement with financial institutions or attempt to raise capital through the sale of additional capital stock or through the issuance of debt. At the present time, the Company does not have a revolving loan agreement with any financial institution.

 

4. Notes Payable

 

Line of Credit

 

On November 13, 2014, the Company entered into an unsecured line of credit (the “Line of Credit”) with a third-party for up to $68,000. The Line of Credit carried an interest rate of 3% per annum. In the event of a default under the Line of Credit, the interest rate on the Line of Credit would increase to the lower of 12% per annum or the maximum amount allowed by law. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the Company settled the note payable in the amount of $68,000 with the issuance of 7,588,888 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share. With the issuance of the shares, the Company was released of all existing and potential claims.

 

5. Related Party Convertible Promissory Note

 

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had an outstanding related party convertible promissory note of $193,000 and $131,000, respectively, with a maximum availability of $200,000 (the “Related Party Convertible Promissory Notes”). See Note 8. Related Party Transactions.

 

On November 20, 2015, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to a related party (the “Related Party Convertible Promissory Note”). The Related Party Convertible Promissory Note accrues interest at a rate of 2% per annum. The principal balance and accrued interest under the Related Party Convertible Promissory Note at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $193,000 and $131,000, and $3,358 and $264, respectively, and is due on April 30, 2017.

 

F- 22
 

 

 

The Holder of the Related Party Convertible Promissory Note has the right to convert all or any part of the outstanding principal and accrued interest to shares of common stock of the Company. The Related Party Convertible Promissory Note can be converted by the Holder in part from time to time after the issuance date by submitting notice of conversion. The November 2015 Convertible Promissory Note is convertible at a $0.003 per share conversion price.

 

The Related Party Convertible Promissory Note contained a beneficial conversion feature which resulted in a debt discount of $155,650 which was recorded as a reduction in carrying value of the Related Party Convertible Promissory Note and offset in mezzanine equity during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 a charge to debt discount in the amount of $143,011 and $10,423, respectively and was expensed as interest expense. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the debt discount was $1,986 and $95,186, respectively.

 

In connection with the Related Party Convertible Promissory Note, the Holder was issued a total of 32,166,667 warrants exercisable at $0.05 expiring in November 2020 (the “Warrants”). The Company determined the fair value of the warrants which resulted in a debt discount of $37,366 which was recorded as a reduction in carrying value of the Related Party Convertible Promissory Note and offset in mezzanine equity during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 a charge to debt discount in the amount of 34,695 and was expensed through interest expense. The balance at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $2,671, and $25,391, respectively.

 

Related Party Convertible Promissory Note Summary

 

The fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion features and the fair value of the warrants underlying the Related Party Convertible Promissory Notes were calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes Model.

The Company determined the fair value of the warrants which resulted in a debt discount of $30,117, recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the September 2016 Convertible Promissory Note and offset in mezzanine equity and is being amortized over the life of the warrants. The balance of the fair value of the warrants at December 31, 2016 was $25,254.

 

On November 25, 2016, the Company issued two Convertible Promissory Notes totaling $200,000 to third-parties (the “November 2016 Convertible Promissory Notes”). The November 2016 Convertible Promissory Notes mature on November 24, 2017, and accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum. As of December 31, 2016, the outstanding principal and accrued interest balance was $200,000 and $1,644, respectively.

 

The Holder of the November 2016 Convertible Promissory Notes have the right to convert all or any part of the outstanding principal and accrued interest to shares of common stock of the Company. The November 2016 Convertible Promissory Notes can be converted by the Holder in part from time to time after the issuance date by submitting notice of conversion. The November 2016 Convertible Promissory Notes are convertible at the option of the Holder into that number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing such principal amount and accrued interest by the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate is defined as seventy percent (70%) of the volume weighted average price over the prior ten (10) day trading period from the date of notice of conversion, but in no event shall the Conversion price be less than $0.02.

 

The November 2016 Convertible Promissory Notes contained a beneficial conversion feature which resulted in a debt discount of $99,123 which was recorded as a reduction in carrying value of the November 2016 Convertible Promissory Notes and offset in additional mezzanine equity during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016. A charge to debt discount in the amount of $4,130 was expensed through interest expense. At December 31, 2016, the debt discount was $94,993.

 

In connection with the November 2016 Convertible Promissory Notes, the Holders were issued 4,000,000 warrants exercisable at $0.05 expiring in November 2019 (the “Warrants”). The Company determined the fair value of the warrants which resulted in a debt discount of $13,409, recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the November 2016 Convertible Promissory Note and offset in mezzanine equity and is being amortized over the life of the warrants. The balance of the fair value of the warrants at December 31, 2016 was $12,850.

 

Convertible Promissory Note Summary

 

The fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion features and the fair value of the warrants underlying the Convertible Promissory Notes were calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes Model. The following table summarizes the carrying value of the Convertible Promissory Note as of December 31, 2016:

 

    December 31, 2016  
       
Convertible Promissory Note   $ 500,000  
Less: debt discount     (228,059 )
Warrants     (38,105 )
Total net carrying value   $ 233,836  

 

7. Income Taxes

 

No provision for federal income taxes has been recognized for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, as the Company has a net operating loss carry forward for income tax purposes available in each period. Additionally, it is uncertain if the Company will have taxable income in the future so a valuation allowance has been established for the full value of net tax assets. The deferred tax asset consists of net operating loss carry forwards and the Company has no deferred tax liabilities.

 

F- 24
 

 

 

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of $713,387 and $189,432, respectively for federal income tax purposes. This net operating loss carry forwards may be carried forward in varying amounts until 2036 and may be limited in their use due to significant changes in the Company’s ownership.

 

    December 31, 2016     December 31, 2015  
             
Net operating loss carryforwards   $ 713,387     $ 189,432  
Less: valuation allowance     (713,387 )     (189,432 )
Net deferred tax asset   $ -     $ -  

 

The Company has valued its net deferred tax asset at zero with a valuation allowance due to the substantial doubt taxable income will be generated in the future to utilize the deferred tax asset.

 

8. Related Party Transactions

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued the Chairman of the Board a convertible promissory note, (the “Related Party Convertible Promissory Note”) in an amount up to $200,000 along with 32,166,667 warrants. The note accrues interest at 2% per annum. The issuance of the financial instruments was made in the ordinary course of business, and were given fair market treatment. The Related Party Convertible Promissory Note matures on April 30, 2017. See Note 5. Related Party Convertible Promissory Note.

 

Additionally, the Company merged with a company controlled by related parties. See Note 10. Merger.

 

9. Discontinued Operations

 

The Company has accounted for discontinued operations prior to January 1, 2016 under Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity . Under this guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. As described in Note 1. the Company has exited the restaurant industry and has shifted its strategy to home automation and energy conservation services. Management believes this adequately qualifies as a strategic shift under Update No. 2014-08. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had not generated any revenue from its new services. A reconciliation of amounts included in the statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2015 as follows:

 

Revenue   $ 20,100  
Selling general and administrative expenses     (201,161 )
Other Expenses     (3,531 )
Loss from continued operations   $ (184,592 )

 

10. Merger

 

On July 1, 2016, the Company exchanged 165,000,000 shares of the Company’s unregistered shares of common stock for 100% of the outstanding common stock of Chron Energy, Inc. (“CEI”), a Nevada corporation to related parties (consisting of the company’s Chief Compliance Officer and an LLC managed by the Company’s President). CEI possessed intellectual property and strategic relationships (the “Assets”) that are integral to the Company’s entrance into the home automation and retail electric provider markets. Generally, the total acquisition consideration price would be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the total of estimated fair values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed would then be recognized as goodwill. CEI had no liabilities and the Assets had no carrying value on the books. Since the acquisition was with related parties, no increase in the carrying value of the Assets or goodwill can be realized on the books of the Company.

 

There was no change of control of the Company as a result of the Merger. See Note 8 . Related Party Transitions .

12. Contingencies

 

In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company may be subject to loss contingencies including possible disputes and lawsuits. Management believes that any outcome of such contingences will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of future operations.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED , THE CHRON ORGANIZATION, INC. , a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of CROWN BRIDGE PARTNERS, LLC , a New York limited liability company, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the principal sum of $46,000.00 (the “Principal Amount”), together with interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum, at maturity or upon acceleration or otherwise, as set forth herein (the “Note”) (for the avoidance of doubt, interest shall not begin to accrue under the Note until the Holder funds the Purchase Price as provided in the related disbursement authorization). The consideration to the Borrower for this Note is $40,000.00 (the “Consideration”). The Holder shall pay the Consideration within a reasonable amount of time of the full execution of the Note and transactional documents related to this Note. At the closing, the outstanding principal amount under this Note shall be $46,000.00, consisting of the Consideration plus the OID (as defined herein). The maturity date shall be twelve (12) months from the Issue Date (the “Maturity Date”), and is the date upon which the principal sum, as well as any accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, shall be due and payable. This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note, which is not paid by the Maturity Date, shall bear interest at the rate of the lesser of (i) twelve (12%) per annum or (ii) the maximum amount allowed by law from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). Interest shall commence accruing on the date that the Note is fully paid and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into the Borrower’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date. As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

This Note carries a prorated original issue discount of $6,000.00 (the “OID”), to cover the Holder’s accounting fees, due diligence fees, monitoring, and/or other transactional costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Note, which is included in the principal balance of this Note. Thus, the purchase price of this Note shall be $40,000.00, computed as follows: the Principal Amount minus the OID.

 

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

 

The following additional terms shall apply to this Note:

 

ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

1.1 Conversion Right . The Holder shall have the right at any time to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso, provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Borrower, and the provisions of the conversion limitation shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower or Borrower’s transfer agent by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower or Borrower’s transfer agent before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”). The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.

1.2 Conversion Price .

 

(a) Calculation of Conversion Price . The Conversion Price shall be the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (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) (also subject to adjustment as further described herein). The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 60% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 40%). “Market Price” means the lowest one (1) Trading Price (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on the last complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the lowest traded price on the Over-the-Counter Pink Marketplace, OTCQB, or applicable trading market (the “OTCQB”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTCQB is not the principal trading market for such security, on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if the lowest intraday trading price of such security is not available in any of the foregoing manners, the lowest intraday price of any market makers for such security that are quoted on the OTC Markets. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Conversion Price shall not be less than $0.0005 (the “Floor Price”), provided, however , that the Floor Price shall no longer apply if the Common Stock closes at or below $0.0015 for two consecutive days at any time after the Issue Date. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTCQB, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. If at any time after the Issue Date, the Variable Conversion Price is equal to or lower than $0.005, then an additional twenty percent (20%) discount shall be factored into the Variable Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding (resulting in a discount rate of 60% assuming no other adjustments are triggered hereunder). In the event that shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock are not deliverable via DWAC following the conversion of any amount hereunder, an additional ten percent (10%) discount shall be factored into the Variable Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding (resulting in a discount rate of 50% assuming no other adjustments are triggered hereunder).

 

3  
   

 

Each time, while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower enters into a Section 3(a)(9) transaction (including but not limited to the issuance of new promissory notes or of a replacement promissory note), or Section 3(a)(10) transaction, in which any 3rd party has the right to convert monies owed to that 3rd party (or receive shares pursuant to a settlement or otherwise) at a discount to market greater than the Variable Conversion Price in effect at that time (prior to all other applicable adjustments in the Note), then the Variable Conversion Price shall be automatically adjusted to such greater discount percentage (prior to all applicable adjustments in this Note) until this Note is no longer outstanding. Each time, while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower enters into a Section 3(a)(9) transaction (including but not limited to the issuance of new promissory notes or of a replacement promissory note), or Section 3(a)(10) transaction, in which any 3rd party has a look back period greater than the look back period in effect under the Note at that time, then the Holder’s look back period shall automatically be adjusted to such greater number of days until this Note is no longer outstanding. The Borrower shall give written notice to the Holder, with the adjusted Variable Conversion Price and/or adjusted look back period (each adjustment that is applicable due to the triggering event), within one (1) business day of an event that requires any adjustment described in the two immediately preceding sentences.

 

Holder shall be entitled to deduct $500.00 from the conversion amount in each Notice of Conversion to cover Holder’s deposit fees associated with each Notice of Conversion.

 

(b) Authorized Shares . The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved eight times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Notes in effect from time to time)(the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Notes. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note 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 Note.

 

If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note.

 

1.3 Method of Conversion .

 

(a) Mechanics of Conversion . Subject to Section 1.1, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower.

 

4  
   

 

(b) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

(c) Payment of Taxes . The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.

 

(d) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion . Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within two (2) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(e) Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock . Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion. The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.

 

5  
   

 

(f) Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer . In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.

 

(g) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline . Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(g) are justified.

 

1.4 Concerning the Shares . The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) or (iv) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor. Except as otherwise provided (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note have been registered under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

 

6  
   

 

“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR 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 (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

 

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Borrower so that the sale or transfer is effected or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold. In the event that the Borrower does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Regulation S, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

 

1.5 Trading Market Limitations . Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall the Borrower issue upon each conversion of this Note more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Borrower can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded (the “Maximum Share Amount”), which shall be 4.99% of the total shares currently outstanding at the time of each conversion (unless increased to 9.99% pursuant to the terms of this Note), subject to equitable adjustment from time to time for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, capital reorganizations and similar events relating to the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof.

 

7  
   

 

1.6 Status as Shareholder . Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the shares covered thereby (other than the shares, if any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such Holder’s allocated portion of the Reserved Amount or Maximum Share Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a Holder of such converted portion of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Borrower to comply with the terms of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all shares of Common Stock prior to the tenth (10th) business day after the expiration of the Deadline with respect to a conversion of any portion of this Note for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder of Common Stock by so notifying the Borrower) the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this Note and the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted Note to the Holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Note has not been converted. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive Conversion Default Payments pursuant to Section 1.3 to the extent required thereby for such Conversion Default and any subsequent Conversion Default and (ii) the right to have the Conversion Price with respect to subsequent conversions determined in accordance with Section 1.3) for the Borrower’s failure to convert this Note.

 

ARTICLE II. CERTAIN COVENANTS

 

2.1 Distributions on Capital Stock . So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not without the Holder’s written consent

(a) pay, declare or set apart for such payment, any dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, property or other securities) on shares of capital stock other than dividends on shares of Common Stock solely in the form of additional shares of Common Stock or (b) directly or indirectly or through any subsidiary make any other payment or distribution in respect of its capital stock except for distributions pursuant to any shareholders’ rights plan which is approved by a majority of the Borrower’s disinterested directors.

 

2.2 Restriction on Stock Repurchases . So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not without the Holder’s written consent redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire (whether for cash or in exchange for property or other securities or otherwise) in any one transaction or series of related transactions any shares of capital stock of the Borrower or any warrants, rights or options to purchase or acquire any such shares.

 

ARTICLE III. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

 

If any of the following events of default (each, an “Event of Default”) shall occur:

 

3.1 Failure to Pay Principal or Interest . The Borrower fails to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note, whether at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and such breach continues for a period of five (5) days.

 

8  
   

 

3.2 Conversion and the Shares . The Borrower fails to reserve a sufficient amount of shares of common stock as required under the terms of this Note (including Section 1.3 of this Note) and such breach continues for a period of five (5) days, fails to issue shares of Common Stock to the Holder (or announces or threatens in writing that it will not honor its obligation to do so) upon exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note, fails to transfer or cause its transfer agent to transfer (issue) (electronically or in certificated form) shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, the Borrower directs its transfer agent not to transfer or delays, impairs, and/or hinders its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing) (electronically or in certificated form) shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, or fails to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note (or makes any written announcement, statement or threat that it does not intend to honor the obligations described in this paragraph) and any such failure shall continue uncured (or any written announcement, statement or threat not to honor its obligations shall not be rescinded in writing) for two (2) business days after the Holder shall have delivered a Notice of Conversion. It is an obligation of the Borrower to remain current in its obligations to its transfer agent. It shall be an event of default of this Note, if a conversion of this Note is delayed, hindered or frustrated due to a balance owed by the Borrower to its transfer agent. If at the option of the Holder, the Holder advances any funds to the Borrower’s transfer agent in order to process a conversion, such advanced funds shall be paid by the Borrower to the Holder within five (5) business days of a demand from the Holder, either in cash or as an addition to the balance of the Note, and such choice of payment method is at the discretion of the Borrower.

 

3.3 Breach of Covenants. The Borrower breaches any material covenant or other material term or condition contained in this Note and any collateral documents and such breach continues for a period of ten (10) days after written notice thereof to the Borrower from the Holder.

 

3.4 Breach of Representations and Warranties . Any representation or warranty of the Borrower made herein or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made and the breach of which has (or with the passage of time will have) a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note.

 

3.5 Receiver or Trustee . The Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its property or business, or such a receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed.

 

3.6 Judgments . Any money judgment, writ or similar process shall be entered or filed against the Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower or any of its property or other assets for more than $50,000, and shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of twenty (20) days unless otherwise consented to by the Holder, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

 

9

3.10 Liquidation . Any dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of Borrower or any substantial portion of its business.

 

3.11 Cessation of Operations . Any cessation of operations by Borrower or Borrower admits it is otherwise generally unable to pay its debts as such debts become due, provided, however, that any disclosure of the Borrower’s ability to continue as a “going concern” shall not be an admission that the Borrower cannot pay its debts as they become due, or any disposition or conveyance of any material asset of the Company.

 

3.12 Financial Statement Restatement . The Borrower replaces its auditor, or any restatement of any financial statements filed by the Borrower with the SEC for any date or period from two years prior to the Issue Date of this Note and until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result of such restatement would, by comparison to the unrestated financial statement, have constituted a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note.

 

3.13 Replacement of Transfer Agent . In the event that the Borrower replaces its transfer agent, and the Borrower fails to provide prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount) signed by the successor transfer agent to Borrower and the Borrower.

 

3.14 Cross-Default . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other related or companion documents, a breach or default by the Borrower of any covenant or other term or condition contained in any of the other financial instrument, including but not limited to all convertible promissory notes, currently issued, or hereafter issued, by the Borrower, to the Holder or any other 3rd party (the “Other Agreements”), after the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods, shall, at the option of the Holder, be considered a default under this Note, in which event the Holder shall be entitled to apply all rights and remedies of the Holder under the terms of this Note by reason of a default under said Other Agreement or hereunder.

 

10  
   

 

3.15 Inside Information . Any attempt by the Borrower or its officers, directors, and/or affiliates to transmit, convey, disclose, or any actual transmittal, conveyance, or disclosure by the Borrower or its officers, directors, and/or affiliates of, material non-public information concerning the Borrower, to the Holder or its successors and assigns, which is not immediately cured by Borrower’s filing of a Form 8-K pursuant to Regulation FD on that same date.

3.18 Failure to Uplist . The Borrower fails to uplist to the OCTQB within thirty (30) days following the effectiveness of the Borrower’s Form 10 (originally filed on April 21, 2017), provided, however, that the Borrower shall have an additional thirty (30) days (for a total of sixty (60) days) to respond to additional inquiries requested by OTC Markets to effectuate such uplist.

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default specified in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.15, 3.16, 3.17, and/or 3.18 exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Borrower by such Holders (the “Default Notice”), and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified the remaining sections of Articles III, the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to 150% multiplied by the then outstanding entire balance of the Note (including principal and accrued and unpaid interest) plus Default Interest, if any, plus any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.4(g) hereof (collectively, in the aggregate of all of the above, the “Default Sum”), and all other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

 

If the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the Borrower remains in default (and so long and to the extent that there are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of the Default Amount, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Borrower equal to the Default Amount divided by the Conversion Price then in effect, subject to issuance in tranches due to the beneficial ownership limitations contained in this Note.

 

11  
   

 

ARTICLE IV. MISCELLANEOUS

 

4.1 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver . No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges. All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

 

4.2 Notices . 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, telegram, facsimile, or electronic mail addressed as set forth below or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be deemed effective (a) upon hand delivery, upon electronic mail delivery, or delivery by facsimile, with accurate confirmation generated by the transmitting facsimile machine, at the address or number designated below (if delivered on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received), or the first business day following such delivery (if delivered other than on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received) or (b) on the second business day following the date of mailing by express courier service, fully prepaid, addressed to such address, or upon actual receipt of such mailing, whichever shall first occur.

4.3 Amendments . This Note and any provision hereof may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and the Holder. The term “Note” and all reference thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean this instrument as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented.

 

4.4 Assignability . This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to be the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns. Each transferee of this Note must be an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of the 1933 Act). Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, this Note may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement.

 

12  
   

 

4.5 Cost of Collection . If default is made in the payment of this Note, the Borrower shall pay the Holder hereof costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

4.6 Governing Law . This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Note shall be brought only in the state and/or federal courts of New York City, NY. The parties to this Note 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 Borrower and Holder waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Note 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 hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document 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.

 

4.7 Certain Amounts . Whenever pursuant to this Note the Borrower is required to pay an amount in excess of the outstanding principal amount (or the portion thereof required to be paid at that time) plus accrued and unpaid interest plus Default Interest on such interest, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the actual damages to the Holder from the receipt of cash payment on this Note may be difficult to determine and the amount to be so paid by the Borrower represents stipulated damages and not a penalty and is intended to compensate the Holder in part for loss of the opportunity to convert this Note and to earn a return from the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion of this Note at a price in excess of the price paid for such shares pursuant to this Note. The Borrower and the Holder hereby agree that such amount of stipulated damages is not plainly disproportionate to the possible loss to the Holder from the receipt of a cash payment without the opportunity to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock.

 

4.8 Remedies . The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

13  
   

 

4.9 Prepayment . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, the Borrower may prepay any amount outstanding under this Note, during the initial 90 day period after the issuance of this Note, by making a payment to the Holder of an amount in cash equal to 135% multiplied the amount that the Borrower is prepaying. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, the Borrower may prepay any amount outstanding under this Note, during 91st day through the 180th day after the issuance of this Note, by making a payment to the Holder of an amount in cash equal to 150% multiplied the amount that the Borrower is prepaying. The Borrower may not prepay any amount outstanding under this Note after the 180th day after the issuance of this Note.

 

4.10 Section 3(a)(10) Transactions . If at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower enters into a transaction structured in accordance with, based upon, or related or pursuant to, in whole or in part, Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act (a “3(a)(10) Transaction”), then a liquidated damages charge of 25% of the outstanding principal balance of this Note at that time, will be assessed and will become immediately due and payable to the Holder, either in the form of cash payment or as an addition to the balance of the Note, as determined by mutual agreement of the Borrower and Holder.

 

4.11 Right of First Refusal . If at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower has a bona fide offer of capital or financing from any 3rd party, that the Borrower intends to act upon, then the Borrower must first offer such opportunity to the Holder to provide such capital or financing to the Borrower on the same terms as each respective 3rd party’s terms. Should the Holder be unwilling or unable to provide such capital or financing to the Borrower within 10 trading days from Holder’s receipt of written notice of the offer (the “Offer Notice”) from the Borrower, then the Borrower may obtain such capital or financing from that respective 3rd party upon the exact same terms and conditions offered by the Borrower to the Holder, which transaction must be completed within 30 days after the date of the Offer Notice. If the Borrower does not receive the capital or financing from the respective 3rd party within 30 days after the date of the respective Offer Notice, then the Borrower must again offer the capital or financing opportunity to the Holder as described above, and the process detailed above shall be repeated. The Offer Notice must be sent via electronic mail to Info@CrownBridgeCapital.com .

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

THE CHRON ORGANIZATION, INC.

 

Warrant Shares: 920,000

Date of Issuance: May 31, 2017 (“ Issuance Date ”)

 

This COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “ Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received (in connection with the funding of the $46,000.00 convertible promissory note issued to the Holder (as defined below) of even date) (the “ Note ”), Crown Bridge Partners, LLC (including any permitted and registered assigns, the “ Holder ”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date of issuance hereof, to purchase from The Chron Organization, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”), 920,000 shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “ Warrant Shares ”) at the Exercise Price per share then in effect (whereby such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant). This Warrant is issued by the Company as of the date hereof in connection with that certain securities purchase agreement dated May 31, 2017, by and among the Company and the Holder (the “ Purchase Agreement ”).

 

Capitalized terms used in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined in the body of this Warrant or in Section 13 below. For purposes of this Warrant, the term “ Exercise Price ” shall mean $0.05, subject to adjustment as provided herein (including but not limited to cashless exercise), and the term “ Exercise Period ” shall mean the period commencing on the Issuance Date and ending on 5:00 p.m. eastern standard time on the five-year anniversary thereof.

 

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT .

 

(a) Mechanics of Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or times during the Exercise Period by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. On or before the third Trading Day (the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”) following the date on which the Company shall have received the Exercise Notice, and upon receipt by the Company of payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which all or a portion of this Warrant is being exercised (the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ” and together with the Exercise Notice, the “ Exercise Delivery Documents ”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or by cashless exercise, in which case there shall be no Aggregate Exercise Price provided), the Company shall (or direct its transfer agent to) issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.

 

1  
   

 

If the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder the respective shares of Common Stock by the respective Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise in Holder’s sole discretion, and such failure shall be deemed an event of default under the Note.

 

If the Market Price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price, the Holder may elect to receive Warrant Shares pursuant to a cashless exercise, in lieu of a cash exercise, equal to the value of this Warrant determined in the manner described below (or of any portion thereof remaining unexercised) by surrender of this Warrant and a Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder a number of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A-B)

A

 

  Where X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to Holder.
       
    Y = the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder elects to purchase under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation).
       
    A = the Market Price (at the date of such calculation).
       
    B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

(b) No Fractional Shares . No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Warrant Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then-current fair market value of a Warrant Share by such fraction.

 

2  
   

 

(c) Holder’s Exercise Limitations . The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as defined below. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including without limitation any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph (d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this paragraph applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.

 

For purposes of this paragraph, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Upon no fewer than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, a Holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this paragraph shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant. The Company covenants that this Warrant is outstanding, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full exercise of this Warrant. The Company is required at all times to have authorized and reserved five times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full exercise of the Warrant (based on the Exercise Price in effect at that time)(the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Company’s obligations hereunder.

  

3  
   

 

  2. ADJUSTMENTS . The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(a) Distribution of Assets . If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including without limitation any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:

 

(i) any Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and

 

(ii) the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i); provided, however, that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of common stock of a company (other than the Company) whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system (“ Other Shares of Common Stock ”), then the Holder may elect to receive a warrant to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an increase in the number of Warrant Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i) and the number of Warrant Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this clause (ii).

 

(b) Anti-Dilution Adjustments to Exercise Price . If the Company, at any time from and after the Issuance Date, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of, sell or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any person, firm, association or entity to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share less than the then-current Exercise Price, as adjusted hereunder (any such issuance being referred to as a “ Dilutive Issuance ,” subject, however, to the proviso contained in the further definition of the term “Dilutive Issuance” contained in Section 13 below), then (a) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to match the lowest price per share at which such Common Stock was issued or may be acquired pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalents in the Dilutive Issuance, and (b) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to an amount equal to the number of Warrant Shares Holder could purchase hereunder for the aggregate Exercise Price, as reduced pursuant to this Section 2(b), equal to the aggregate Exercise Price payable immediately prior to such reduction in Exercise Price. Additionally, following the occurrence of a Dilutive Issuance, all references in this Warrant to “Warrant Shares” shall be a reference to the Warrant Shares as increased pursuant to this Section 2(b), and all references in this Warrant to “Exercise Price” shall be a reference to the Exercise Price as reduced pursuant to this Section 2(b), as the same may occur from time to time hereunder.

 

4  
   

 

3. FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger of the Company with or into another entity and the Company is not the surviving entity (such surviving entity, the “ Successor Entity ”), (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or by another individual or entity, and approved by the Company) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares of Common Stock for other securities, cash or property and the holders of at least 50% of the Common Stock accept such offer, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock) (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive the number of shares of Common Stock of the Successor Entity or of the Company and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event (disregarding any limitation on exercise contained herein solely for the purpose of such determination). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any Successor Entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration.

 

4. NON-CIRCUMVENTION . The Company covenants and agrees that it will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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 Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, for so long as this Warrant is outstanding, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

 

5. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Warrant, in and of itself, shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

6. REISSUANCE .

 

(a) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant . If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company will, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

 

5  
   

 

(b) Issuance of New Warrants . Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, and shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date.

All of such outstanding shares of capital stock are, or upon issuance will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. No shares of capital stock of the Company are subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights of the shareholders of the Company or any liens or encumbrances imposed through the actions or failure to act of the Company.

The Company shall provide the Buyer with a written update of this representation signed by the Company’s Chief Executive on behalf of the Company as of the Closing Date.

 

d. Issuance of Shares . The Conversion Shares are duly authorized and reserved for issuance and, upon conversion of the Note in accordance with its respective terms, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Company and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

 

e. Acknowledgment of Dilution . The Company understands and acknowledges the potentially dilutive effect to the Common Stock upon the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Note. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Note in accordance with this Agreement, the Note is absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.

f. No Conflicts . The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Note by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares) will not (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, or (ii) violate or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both could become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture, patent, patent license or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and regulations of any self-regulatory organizations to which the Company or its securities are subject) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected (except for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of its Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws or other organizational documents and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default (and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both could put the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in default) under, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action or failed to take any action that would give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except for possible defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. The businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any, are not being conducted, and shall not be conducted so long as the Buyer owns any of the Securities, in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity. Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement and as required under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court, governmental agency, regulatory agency, self-regulatory organization or stock market or any third party in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Note in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof or to issue and sell the Note in accordance with the terms hereof and to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Note. All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the Company is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained or effected on or prior to the date hereof. The Company is not in violation of the listing requirements of the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”), the OTCQB or any similar quotation system, and does not reasonably anticipate that the Common Stock will be delisted by the OTCBB, the OTCQB or any similar quotation system, in the foreseeable future. The Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.

g. SEC Documents; Financial Statements . The Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents (other than exhibits to such documents) incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to herein as the “SEC Documents”). The Company has delivered to the Buyer true and complete copies of the SEC Documents, except for such exhibits and incorporated documents. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. None of the statements made in any such SEC Documents is, or has been, required to be amended or updated under applicable law (except for such statements as have been amended or updated in subsequent filings prior the date hereof). As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents, the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business, and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in such financial statements, which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company. The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act.

Schedule 3(i) contains a complete list and summary description of any pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened proceeding against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, without regard to whether it would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.

The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of their Intellectual Property.

There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such claim. The Company has not executed a waiver with respect to the statute of limitations relating to the assessment or collection of any foreign, federal, state or local tax. None of the Company’s tax returns is presently being audited by any taxing authority.

 

m. Certain Transactions . Except for arm’s length transactions pursuant to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes payments in the ordinary course of business upon terms no less favorable than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries could obtain from third parties and other than the grant of stock options disclosed on Schedule 3(c), none of the officers, directors, or employees of the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.

p. No Integrated Offering . Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales in any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require registration under the 1933 Act of the issuance of the Securities to the Buyer.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notification with respect to possible conflicts, defaults or violations of applicable laws, except for notices relating to possible conflicts, defaults or violations, which conflicts, defaults or violations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(i) There are, to the Company’s knowledge, with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any predecessor of the Company, no past or present violations of Environmental Laws (as defined below), releases of any material into the environment, actions, activities, circumstances, conditions, events, incidents, or contractual obligations which may give rise to any common law environmental liability or any liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 or similar federal, state, local or foreign laws and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice with respect to any of the foregoing, nor is any action pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened in connection with any of the foregoing. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.

 

(ii) Other than those that are or were stored, used or disposed of in compliance with applicable law, no Hazardous Materials are contained on or about any real property currently owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no Hazardous Materials were released on or about any real property previously owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the period the property was owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the normal course of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ business.

 

  11  
 

 

(iii) There are no underground storage tanks on or under any real property owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are not in compliance with applicable law.

Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

u. Internal Accounting Controls .

w. Solvency . The Company (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent ( i.e. , its assets have a fair market value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured) and currently the Company has no information that would lead it to reasonably conclude that the Company would not, after giving effect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, have the ability to, nor does it intend to take any action that would impair its ability to, pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature. The Company did not receive a qualified opinion from its auditors with respect to its most recent fiscal year end and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, does not anticipate or know of any basis upon which its auditors might issue a qualified opinion in respect of its current fiscal year. For the avoidance of doubt any disclosure of the Borrower’s ability to continue as a “going concern” shall not, by itself, be a violation of this Section 3(w).

e. Corporate Existence . So long as the Buyer beneficially owns any Note, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence and shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, where the surviving or successor entity in such transaction (i) assumes the Company’s obligations hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith and (ii) is a publicly traded corporation whose Common Stock is listed for trading on the OTCBB, OTCQB, OTC Pink, Nasdaq, NasdaqSmallCap, NYSE or AMEX.

  25  
 

 

3.2 The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Investor thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the event the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement is at any time insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall amend such Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) calendar days after the necessity therefor arises.

3.4 The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such states in the United States as the Investor reasonably requests; (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period; (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (A) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3.4, or (B) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify the Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

  26  
 

 

3.5 As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the Company shall notify Investor in writing of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (“ Registration Default ”) and use all diligent efforts to promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement and take any other necessary steps to cure the Registration Default (which, if such Registration Statement is on Form S-3, may consist of a document to be filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined below) and to be incorporated by reference in the prospectus) to correct such untrue statement or omission, and make available copies of such supplement or amendment to the Investor. The Company shall also promptly notify the Investor (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (the Company will prepare notification of such effectiveness which shall be delivered to the Investor on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), additionally, the Company will promptly provide to the Investor, a copy of the effectiveness order prepared by the SEC once it is received by the Company; (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement would be appropriate, (iv) in the event the Registration Statement is no longer effective, or (v) if the Registration Statement is stale as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file its financials or otherwise

 

3.6 The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Investor holding Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding concerning the effectiveness of the registration statement.

 

  27  
 

 

3.7 The Company shall permit the Investor and one (1) legal counsel, designated by the Investor, to review and comment upon the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto at the request of the Investor. However, any postponement of a filing of a Registration Statement or any postponement of a request for acceleration or any postponement of the effective date or effectiveness of a Registration Statement by written request of the Investor (collectively, the “ Investor’s Delay ”) shall not act to trigger any penalty of any kind, or any cash amount due or any in-kind amount due the Investor from the Company under any and all agreements of any nature or kind between the Company and the Investor. The event(s) of an Investor’s Delay shall act to suspend all obligations of any kind or nature of the Company under any and all agreements of any nature or kind between the Company and the Investor.

 

3.8 At the request of the Investor, the Company’s counsel shall furnish to the Investor an opinion letter confirming the effectiveness of the registration statement and the free trading status of the Registrable Securities.

SECTION 6
INDEMNIFICATION

 

In the event any Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement under this Agreement:

 

6.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, under this Agreement, will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor who holds Registrable Securities, the directors, officers, partners, employees, counsel, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls, any Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ 1934 Act ”) (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively, “ Claims ”), incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“ Indemnified Damages ”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which the Investor has requested in writing that the Company register or qualify the Shares (“ Blue Sky Filing ”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “ Violations ”). Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 6.3 the Company shall reimburse the Investor and each such controlling person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6.1: (i) shall not apply to a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation which is due to the inclusion in the Registration Statement of the information furnished to the Company by any Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (ii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on (a) a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company or (b) the Indemnified Person’s use of an incorrect prospectus despite being promptly advised in advance by the Company in writing not to use such incorrect prospectus; (iii) any claims based on the manner of sale of the Registrable Securities by the Investor or of the Investor’s failure to register as a dealer under applicable securities laws; (iv) any omission of the Investor to notify the Company of any material fact that should be stated in the Registration Statement or prospectus relating to the Investor or the manner of sale; and (v) any amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

  31  
 

 

6.2 Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, the representation by counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The indemnifying party shall pay for only one (1) separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons or the Indemnified Parties, as applicable, and such counsel shall be selected by the Investor, if the Investor is entitled to indemnification hereunder, or the Company, if the Company is entitled to indemnification hereunder, as applicable. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding affected without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

6.3 The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

 

  32  
 

 

SECTION 7
CONTRIBUTION

 

7.1 To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6; (ii) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, no Investor shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Investor from the applicable sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the claim exceeds the amount of any damages that such Investor has otherwise been required to pay, or would otherwise be required to pay under Section 6.2, by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

 

SECTION 8
REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT

 

8.1 With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), provided that the Investor holds any Registrable Securities are eligible for resale under Rule 144, the Company agrees to:

 

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

 

(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit the Company’s obligations under Section 5(c) of the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

 

(c) furnish to the Investor, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
