The initial Purchase Price will be $60,000 of consideration upon execution of the Note Purchase Agreement and all supporting documentation. The sum of $55,000 shall be remitted and delivered to the Company, and $5,000 shall be retained by the Purchaser through an original issue discount for due diligence and legal bills related to this transaction. The Holder reserves the right to pay additional consideration at any time and in any amount it desires, up to the total face value of this Note, at its sole discretion. The principal sum (including the prorated amount of the original issue discount) owed by the Company shall be prorated to the amount of consideration paid by the Holder and only the consideration received by the Company, plus prorated “guaranteed” interest and other fees and prorated original issue discount, shall be deemed owed by the Company. The original issue discount is set at 10% of any consideration paid. The Company is not responsible to repay any unfunded portion of this Note.

 

In addition to the “guaranteed” interest referenced above, and in the Event of Default pursuant to Section 2(e), additional interest will accrue from the date of the Event of Default at the rate equal to the lower of 20% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law (the “Default Rate”).

 

This Note may be prepaid according to the following schedule: Between 1 and 180 days from the date of execution, this Note may be prepaid for 145% of face value plus accrued interest. After 180 days from the date of execution until the Due Date, this Note may not be prepaid without written consent from Tangiers. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day (as defined below), the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day.

 

For purposes hereof the following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them below:

 

“Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

 

“Conversion Price” shall be equal to 55% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the date on which Holder elects to convert all or part of the Note. If the Company is placed on “chilled” status with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), the discount shall be increased by 10% until such chill is remedied. If the Company is not Deposits and Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) eligible through their Transfer Agent and the Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) system, the discount will be increased by 5%. In the case of both, the discount shall be a cumulative 15%.

 

“Principal Amount” shall refer to the sum of (i) the original principal amount of this Note (including the prorated amount of the original issue discount), (ii) all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, and (iii) any default payments owing under the Note but not previously paid or added to the Principal Amount.

The following terms and conditions shall apply to this Note:

 

Section 1.00 Conversion.

 

(a)          Conversion Right. Subject to the terms hereof and restrictions and limitations contained herein, the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder's option, at any time to convert the outstanding Principal Amount and interest under this Note in whole or in part.

 

(b)          The date of any Conversion Notice hereunder and any Payment Date shall be referred to herein as the “Conversion Date”.

 

(i)          Stock Certificates or DWAC. The Company will deliver to the Holder, or Holder’s authorized designee, no later than two 2 Trading Days after the Conversion Date, a certificate or certificates (which certificate(s) shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, provided the Company's transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such shares issuable upon conversion to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s) prime broker with DTC through its Deposits and Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) program (provided that the same time periods herein as for stock certificates shall apply).

 

(ii)          Charges, Expenses. Issuance of Common Stock to Holder, or any of its assignees, upon the conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance fee, transfer tax, postage/mailing charge or any other expense with respect to the issuance of such Common Stock. Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees incurred from the issuance of the Common stock to Holder and acknowledges that this is a material obligation of this Note.

 

If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates (or shares through DTC) pursuant to this Section (free of any restrictions on transfer or legends) prior to 3 Trading Days after the Conversion Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder as liquidated damages an amount equal to $2,000 per day, until such certificate or certificates are delivered. The Company acknowledges that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine the Holder’s actual damages and costs resulting from a failure to deliver the Common Stock and the inclusion herein of any such additional amounts are the agreed upon liquidated damages representing a reasonable estimate of those damages and costs. Such liquidated damages will be automatically added to the Principal Amount of the Note.

(c)          Reservation and Issuance of Underlying Securities. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note (and repayments in Common Stock), free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, not less than five times the number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments under this Section 1 but without regard to any ownership limitations contained herein) upon the conversion of this Note to Common Stock (the “Required Reserve”). These shares shall be reserved in proportion with the consideration actually received by the Company and the total sharers reserved will be increased with future payments of consideration by Holder to ensure the Required Reserve is met. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable will, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid, non-assessable and freely-tradable. If the amount of shares on reserve at the Transfer Agent for this Note in Holder’s name shall drop below the Required Reserve, the Company will, within two (2) business days of written notification from Holder, instruct the Transfer Agent to increase the number of shares so that the Required Reserve is met. The Company agrees that this is a material term of this Note and any breach of this will result in a default of the Note.

(e)  Events of Default.  An “Event of Default” is: (i) a default in payment of any amount due hereunder which default continues for more than 5 business days after the due date; (ii) a default in the timely issuance of underlying shares upon and in accordance with terms hereof, which default continues for 3 Business Days after the Company has failed to issue shares or deliver stock certificates within the 3rd day following the Conversion Date; (iii) failure by the Company for 3 days after notice has been received by the Company to comply with any material provision of the Note Purchase Agreement; (iv) failure of the Company to remain compliant with DTC, thus incurring a “chilled” status with DTC; (v) if the Company is subject to any Bankruptcy Event; (vi) any failure of the Company to satisfy its “filing” obligations under the rules and guidelines issued by OTC Markets News Service, OTC Markets.com and their affiliates; (vii) any failure of the Company to provide the Holder with information related to the corporate structure including, but not limited to, the number of authorized and outstanding shares, public float, etc. within 1 day of request by Holder; (viii) failure to have sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s Common Stock available for any conversion; (ix) failure of Company’s Common Stock to maintain a bid price in its trading market which occurs for at least 3 consecutive Trading Days; (x) any delisting for any reason; (xi) failure by Company to pay any of its Transfer Agent fees or to maintain a Transfer Agent of record; (xii) any trading suspension imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Sections 12(j) or 12(k) of the 1934 Act; (xiii) any breach of Section 1.00 (c); or (xiv) any default after any cure period under, or acceleration prior to maturity of, any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company in excess of $50,000 or for money borrowed the repayment of which is guaranteed by the Company in excess of $50,000, whether such indebtedness or guarantee now exists or shall be created hereafter;
