ITEM 1.01.  ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

Purchase of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc.


On April 5, 2016 (the “Closing Date”) we completed the purchase from EMS Find, Inc. (“EMS”) of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. (“Viva Entertainment”), a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of EMS, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”), and Viva Entertainment’s Chief Executive Officer, Johnny Falcones, resigned from all positions at EMS and has been elected as our sole director and President and Chief Executive Officer to manage the development and marketing of Viva Entertainment’s over the top (IPTV/OTT ) application for connected tv’s, desktop computers, tablets, and smart phones.


Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company and EMS agreed to transfer control of Viva Entertainment to the Company through the purchase from the Seller by the Purchaser of all 800 outstanding shares of stock of Viva Entertainment to the Company in exchange for the issuance to EMS of a 10% promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000, due six months from the Closing (the “EMS Note”), which represents the purchase price paid by the Company for Viva Entertainment.  In connection with the closing, Alexander Stanbury, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, transferred to Johnny Falcones 26,629,371 shares of restricted common stock of the Company from the shares of common stock owned by Mr. Stanbury in exchange for payment of $93,625 from the $135,000 of financing arranged with Essex Global Investment Corp. for the acquisition of the Company (the “Acquisition Financing Facility”).


Essex Global Investment Corp. Financing


Essex Securities Purchase Agreement and Note

 

On April 6, 2016, the Company closed on the $135,000 Acquisition Financing Facility pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated April 6, 2016 (the "Essex Securities Purchase Agreement"), with Essex Global Investment Corp, a Nevada corporation ("Essex"), for the sale of a convertible promissory note (the "Essex Note") in the principal amount of $145,000, with an original issue discount of $10,000.

 

The Essex Note, which is due on March 30, 2017, bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. All principal and accrued interest on the Note is convertible at any time into shares of the Company's common stock at the election of Essex at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to 55% of the lowest reported trading price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty prior trading days including the day upon which the conversion notice is received by the Company or its transfer agent. The conversion price discount will be decreased to 45% if the Company experiences a DTC "chill" on its shares.   If the Company is not current within 90 days from the date of the Note, the conversion discount will increase by 20%, so that the conversion price would be 35% of the trading price as calculated above.

 

The Company has the right to prepay the Essex Note during the first six months following the date of issuance of the Essex Note with a premium of up to 135% of all amounts owed to Essex, including default interest, depending upon when the prepayment is effectuated. The Essex Note may not be redeemed after 180 days.

 

The Essex Note contains default events which, if triggered and not timely cured, will result in default interest and penalties.

 

The foregoing description of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the EMS Note, and the Essex Securities Purchase Agreement and Essex Note, and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of each of these documents, which are attached as Exhibits 10.10, 10.11, 10.12 and 10.13, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.



ITEM 2.01.  COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

On April 6, 2016, the Company and EMS closed the purchase of Viva Entertainment. At the closing the Company issued its promissory note, due September 30, 2016, in the principal amount of $100,000 to EMS, in exchange for all the outstanding shares of capital stock of EMS’s Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. subsidiary.

Background


Viva Entertainment was incorporated on October 21, 2015, under the laws of the State of Delaware by EMS Find and Johnny Falcones, to provide Mr. Falcones with an operating entity that would focus on developing and marketing Viva Entertainment’s technology which had been developed by Mr. Falcones.  The technology a content delivery network or “CDN” on the Internet that provides Web content to numerous users. A wireless TV subscription base service to a variety of gadgets, including Television and smart devices featuring Over The Top (OTT) technology. Content can be viewed via interactive apps which will be available for free download from App Stores for iOS (Apple), Android, Smart TVs and other devices. With a Wi-Fi connection our customers can watch Live TV from around the world, TV shows, as well as movies on demand, Tele-video conference and many other interactive features.

This Note may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act") and applicable state securities laws.  Any attempted transfer to a non-qualifying party shall be treated by the Company as void.  Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company's records as the owner here-of for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected or bound by notice to the contrary.  Any Holder of this Note electing to exercise the right of conversion set forth in Section 4(a) hereof, in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 4(a), and any prospective transferee of this Note, also is required to give the Company written confirmation that this Note is being converted ("Notice of Conversion") in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A. The date of receipt (including receipt by telecopy) of such Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date.


4.

(a)

The Holder of this Note is entitled, at its option, at any time after cash payment, to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of this Note then out-standing into shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") at a price ("Con-version Price") for each share of Common Stock equal to 55% of the lowest trading price of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTCQB exchange which the Company’s shares are traded or any exchange upon which the Common Stock may be traded in the future ("Exchange"), for the twenty prior trading days including the day upon which a No-tice of Conversion is received by the Company or its transfer agent (provided such Notice of Conversion is delivered by fax or other electronic method of communication to the Company or its transfer agent after 4 P.M. Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings Time if the Holder wishes to include the same day closing price). If the shares have not been delivered within 3 business days, the Notice of Conversion may be rescinded. Such conversion shall be effectuated by the Company delivering the shares of Common Stock to the Holder within 3 business days of receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion. Accrued but unpaid interest shall be subject to conversion.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. To the extent the Conversion Price of the Company’s Common Stock closes below the par value per share, the Company will take all steps necessary to solicit the consent of the stockholders to reduce the par value to the lowest value possible under law.  The Company agrees to honor all conversions submitted pending this increase. In the event the Company experiences a DTC “Chill” on its shares, the conversion price shall be decreased to 45% instead of 55% while that “Chill” is in effect. In no event shall the Holder be allowed to effect a conversion if such con-version, along with all other shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates would exceed 9.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company is not fully current in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 90 days from the date of this Note, then the conversion discount shall increase by 20% such that the conversion discount shall be 35% instead of 55%.  



(b)

Interest on any unpaid principal balance of this Note shall be paid at the rate of 10% per annum.  Interest shall be paid by the Company in Common Stock ("Interest Shares").  Holder may, at any time, send in a Notice of Conversion to the Company for Interest Shares based on the formula provided in Section 4(a) above.  The dollar amount converted into Interest Shares shall be all or a portion of the accrued interest calculated on the unpaid princi-pal balance of this Note to the date of such notice.   


(c)

During the first six months this Note is in effect, the Company may re-deem this Note by paying to the Holder an amount as follows:  (i) if the redemption is within the first 90 days this Note is in effect, then for an amount equal to 125% of the unpaid principal amount of this Note along with any interest that has accrued during that period, (ii) if the redemption is after the  90th day this Note is in effect, but less than the 181st day this Note is in effect, then for an amount equal to 135% of the unpaid principal amount of this Note along with any accrued interest accrued during that period. This Note may not be redeemed after 180 days. The redemption must be closed and paid for within 3 business days of the Company sending the redemption demand or the redemption will be invalid and the Company may not redeem this Note.



(d)

Upon (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (ii) a reclassification, capital reorganization or other change or exchange of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, other than a forward or reverse stock split or stock dividend, or (iii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity (other than a merger which is effected solely to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company and results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of Common Stock solely into shares of Common Stock) (each of items (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to as a "Sale Event"), then, in each case, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, redeem this Note in cash for 150% of the principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of redemption, or at the election of the Holder, such Holder may con-vert the unpaid principal amount of this Note (together with the amount of accrued but unpaid interest) into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Sale Event at the Conversion Price.



19





(e)  

In case of any Sale Event (not to include a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) in connection with which this Note is not redeemed or converted, the Company shall cause effective provision to be made so that the Holder of this Note shall have the right thereafter, by converting this Note, to purchase or convert this Note into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization or other change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased upon exercise of the Note and at the same Conversion Price, as defined in this Note, immediately prior to such Sale Event. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to successive Sale Events. If the consideration received by the holders of Common Stock is other than cash, the value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or successor person or entity acting in good faith.




5.

No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Com-pany, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, and interest on, this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the form, herein prescribed.


6.

The Company hereby expressly waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration or intent to accelerate, and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called for hereunder and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereto.


7.

The Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, which may be incurred by the Holder in collecting any amount due under this Note.


8.

If one or more of the following described "Events of Default" shall occur:


(a)

The Company shall default in the payment of principal or interest on this Note; or


(b)

Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein or in any certificate or financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note, or the Securities Purchase Agreement under which this Note was issued shall be false or misleading in any material respect; or


(c)

The Company shall fail to perform or observe, in any material respect, any material covenant, term, provision, condition, agreement or obligation of the Company un-der this Note; or


(d)

The Company shall (1) become insolvent; (2) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature; (3) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commence proceedings for its dissolution; (4) apply for or consent to the appointment of a trustee, liquidator or receiver for its or for a substantial part of its property or business; (5) file a petition for  bankruptcy relief, consent to the filing of such petition or have filed against it an involuntary petition for bankruptcy relief, all under federal or state laws as applicable; or


(e)

A trustee, liquidator or receiver shall be appointed for the Company or for a substantial part of its property or business without its consent and shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days after such appointment; or


(f)

Any governmental agency or any court of competent jurisdiction at the instance of any governmental agency shall assume custody or control of the whole or any substantial portion of the properties or assets of the Company; or


(g)

One or more money judgments, writs or warrants of attachment, or similar process, in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate, shall be entered or filed against the Company or any of its properties or other assets and shall remain unpaid, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of fifteen (15) days or in any event later than five (5) days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder; or

 

                              (h)          The Company shall have defaulted on or breached any term of any other note of similar debt instrument into which the Company has entered and failed to cure such de-fault within the appropriate grace period; or 

 

(i)

The Company shall have its Common Stock delisted from an exchange (including the OTCBB exchange) or, if the Common Stock trades on an exchange, then trading in the Common Stock shall be suspended for more than 10 consecutive days or ceases to file its 1934 act reports with the SEC;


(j)

If a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company on the date hereof are no longer serving as members of the Board.


(k)

The Company shall not deliver to the Holder the Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 4 herein without restrictive legend within 3 business days of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion; or


(l)

The Company shall not replenish the reserve set forth in Section 12, within 3 business days of the request of the Holder.


(m)

The Company shall not be “current” in its Form 10-K and 10-Q filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), subject to applicable extensions of filing dates available under the SEC regulations for the particular report and to filings that are late by no more than two (2) business days beyond the SEC permitted extension period; or


(n)    

The Company shall lose the “bid” price for its stock in a market (including the OTCQB marketplace or other exchange).


Then, or at any time thereafter, unless cured within 5 days, and in each and every such case, un-less such Event of Default shall have been waived in writing by the Holder (which waiver shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default) at the option of the Holder and in the Holder's sole discretion, the Holder may consider this Note immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or (further) notice of any kind (other than notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything herein or in any note or other instruments contained to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Holder may immediately, and without expiration of any period of grace, enforce any and all of the Holder's rights and remedies provided herein or any other rights or remedies afforded by law.  Upon an Event of De-fault, interest shall accrue at a default interest rate of 24% per annum or, if such rate is usurious or not permitted by current law, then at the highest rate of interest permitted by law.  In the event of a breach of Section 8(k) the penalty shall be $250 per day the shares are not issued be-ginning on the 4th day after the conversion notice was delivered to the Company.  This penalty shall increase to $500 per day beginning on the 10th day.  The penalty for a breach of Section 8(n) shall be an increase of the outstanding principal amounts by 20%.  In case of a breach of Section 8(i), the outstanding principal due under this Note shall increase by 50%. If this Note is not paid at maturity, the outstanding principal due under this Note shall increase by 10%. Fur-ther, if a breach of Section 8(m) occurs or is continuing after the 6 month anniversary of the Note, then the Holder shall be entitled to use the lowest closing bid price during the delinquency period as a base price for the conversion. For example, if the lowest closing bid price during the delinquency period is $0.01 per share and the conversion discount is 50% the Holder may elect to convert future conversions at $0.005 per share. If this Note is not paid at maturity, the outstanding principal due under this Note shall increase by 10%.



If the Holder shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Note, including, without limitation, engaging an attorney, then if the Holder prevails in such action, the Holder shall be reimbursed by the Company for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

 

 

20

 

Make-Whole for Failure to Deliver Loss.  At the Holder’s election, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the conversion shares by the by the 3rd business day following the delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company and if the Holder incurs a Failure to Deliver Loss, then at any time the Holder may provide the Company writ-ten notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Failure to Deliver Loss and the Company must make the Holder whole as follows:

 

Failure to Deliver Loss = [(High trade price at any time on or after the day of exercise) x (Number of conversion shares)]


The Company must pay the Failure to Deliver Loss by cash payment, and any such cash payment must be made by the third business day from the time of the Holder’s written notice to the Company.

 

9.

In case any provision of this Note is held by a court of competent juris-diction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.


10.

Neither this Note nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, dis-charged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder.


11.

The Company represents that it is not a “shell” issuer and has never been a “shell” issuer or that if it previously has been a “shell” issuer that at least 12 months have passed since the Company has reported form 10 type information indicating it is no longer a “shell issuer.  Further, the Company will instruct its counsel to either (i) write a 144 opinion to allow for salability of the conversion shares or (ii) accept such opinion in customary form for this type of opinion from Holder’s counsel.


12.

The Company shall issue irrevocable transfer agent instructions reserving 21,090,000 shares of its Common Stock for conversions under this Note (the “Share Reserve”).  Upon full conversion of this Note, any shares remaining in the Share Reserve shall be can-celled. The Company shall pay all transfer agent costs associated with issuing and delivering the share certificates to Holder. If such amounts are to be paid by the Holder, it may deduct such amounts from the Conversion Price. The Company should at all times reserve a minimum of six times the amount of shares required if the note would be fully converted.  The Holder may reasonably request increases from time to time to reserve such amounts.  The Company will instruct its transfer agent to provide the outstanding share information to the Holder in connection with its conversions.


13.

The Company will give the Holder direct notice of any corporate actions, including but not limited to name changes, stock splits, recapitalizations etc.  This notice shall be given to the Holder as soon as possible under law.  The Holder recognizes that the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K with regard to a material corporate disclosure matter is in most cases a condition precedent to release of any such material information privately.


14.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York applicable to contracts made and wholly to be performed within the State of New York and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each party hereto.  The Holder and the Company hereby mutually waive trial by jury and consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the courts of the State of New York or in the Federal courts sitting in the county or city of New York.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and the facsimile transmission of an executed counterpart to this Agreement shall be effective as an original.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Note to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.
