Item1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
MGR Note and Commitment Shares
On April 14, 2023, Digerati Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a convertible promissory note (the “MGR Note”) with MGR Limited Partnership (“MGR”). Pursuant to the MGR Note, the Company issued a promissory note and shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to MGR. The aggregate principal amount of the note was approximately $275,000 with an original issue discount of $25,000. The actual amount of the purchase price the Company received was $250,000. The maturity date of the MGR Note is the earlier of (i) October 14, 2023, or (ii) the thirtieth (30^th^) day following the Company’s up-list transaction on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Uplist”). When the promissory note is convertible, the conversion price will be $0.10 per share.
MGR shall have the right, on any calendar day, at any time on or following the date of the Uplist, to convert up to 50% of the principal amount that is outstanding on the MGR Note into shares of the Common Stock. In connection with the purchase of the MGR Note, the Company issued 358,000 shares of Common Stock to MGR (the “Commitment Shares”).
Lucas Ventures Note and Inducement Shares
On May 9, 2023, the Company and Lucas Ventures, LLC (“LV”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “LV SPA”) whereby the Company issued a convertible promissory note to LV (the “LV Note”).
The aggregate principal amount of the LV Note was $55,000 with an original issue discount of $5,000. The gross proceeds the Company received prior to payment of transaction expenses was $50,000. The LV Note has a maturity date of February 9, 2024. The LV Note can be converted into shares of Common Stock at any time on or following the earlier of (i) November 9, 2023 or (ii) the day the Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq or the NYSE American. The conversion price will be the greater of (i) $0.10 per share, or (ii) 25% discount to the up-listing price or the offering/underwriting price concurrent with the Uplist.
In connection with the purchase of the LV Note and pursuant to the LV SPA, the Company issued 300,000 shares of Common Stock to LV (the “Inducement Shares”).
The foregoing summary of the MGR Note, LV SPA and the LV Note contains only a brief description of the material terms of each such document and such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the MGR Note, LV SPA and the LV Note, filed herewith as Exhibits 4.1, 10.1 and 4.2, respectively, and each such document is incorporated by reference herein.
Item2.03 Creation of Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The applicable information regarding the MGR Note and LV Note set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 2.03.
Item3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The applicable information regarding the MGR Note, the LV Note, the Commitment Shares, the Inducement Shares, and the shares of Common Stock underlying the MGR Note and the LV Note set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.02. The already issued MGR Note, the Commitment Shares, the LV Note and the Inducement Shares and the to be issued shares of Common Stock underlying the MGR Note and LV Note were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), but, as the case may be, qualified, or will qualify, for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The securities, as the case may be, were, or will be, exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of such securities by the Company as the case may be, did not, or will 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 and manner of the offering. The Company did not undertake an offering in which it sold securities to a high number of investors. In addition, each of MGR and LV had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2) since each of MGR and LV agreed to, and as the case may be, received or will receive, the securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities, as the case may be, would not or will 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.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
| $275,000 | San Antonio, Texas | April 14, 2023 |
|---|
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, DIGERATI TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Nevada corporation, whose address is 8023 Vantage Dr., Suite 660 San Antonio, Texas 78230 (the “Debtor”), promises to pay to the order of MGR Limited Partnership, whose address is 113 Falls Court #6, Suite 600, Boerne, Texas 78006 (the “Payee”), the sum of TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($275,000), which amount is the $250,000 actual amount of the purchase price hereof, plus an original issue discount in the amount of $25,000 (the “PrincipalAmount’), in lawful money of the United States of America which shall be legal tender for the payment of debts from time to time, together with interest on the outstanding Principal Amount hereof at the rate of ten percent (10%) interest per annum, computed on the basis of a 360-day year and 30-day months.
This Note shall be payable in monthly payments of interest only and a single payment of the Principal Amount outstanding plus any accrued interest, without demand, on the earlier to occur of (i) the one hundred eightieth (180^th^) day following the date hereof or (ii) the thirtieth (30^th^) day following the date of the Debtor’s up-list transaction on the NASDAQ (the “Maturity Date”). If the Maturity Date shall be a Saturday, Sunday, or day on which Banks in San Antonio, Texas, or the place of payment are authorized or required to be closed, such payment shall be made on the next following day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or day on which banks in San Antonio, Texas, or the place of payment are authorized or required to be closed and interest thereon shall continue to accrue thereon until such date.
The Debtor shall issue 358,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”) to the Payee as additional consideration for the purchase of the Note, which all shall be earned in full as of the date hereof.
Time is of the essence of this Note, and the Debtor expressly agrees that in the event of default in the payment of any Principal Amount or interest when due, the Payee may declare the entirety of this Note immediately due and payable. Upon the occurrence of any default hereunder, the Payee shall also have the right to exercise any and all of the rights, remedies and recourses now or hereafter existing in equity, law, by virtue of statute or otherwise.
In the event that any payment is not made when due, either of Principal Amount or interest, and whether upon maturity or as a result of acceleration, interest shall thereafter accrue at the rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum non-usurious rate of interest permitted by the laws of the State of Texas or the United States of America, whichever shall permit the higher rate or (b) eighteen percent (18%) per annum, from such date until the entire balance of Principal Amount and accrued interest on this Note has been paid.
Debtor has the privilege of making prepayments on this Note from time to time in any amount without penalty provided that any such prepayment shall be applied to unpaid interest on this Note and the balance, if any, to the Principal Amount payable under this Note.
No failure to exercise and no delay on the part of Payee in exercising any power or right in connection herewith shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. No course of dealing between Debtor and Payee shall operate as a waiver of any right of Payee. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Note or any consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the person against whom enforcement thereof is to be sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
In the event of default or if payment of this Note is not made when due or declared due, and the same is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or suit is brought on same, or the same is collected through any judicial proceeding whatsoever, or if any action be had hereon, then Debtor agrees and promises to pay an additional amount as reasonable, calculated and foreseeable attorneys’ and collection fees incurred by Payee in connection with enforcing its rights herein contemplated.
The Payee may elect to convert up to 50% of the Principal Amount outstanding on the Note into Common Stock of Debtor, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Debtor into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at any time, on the date of the Debtor’s up-list transaction on the NASDAQ (the “Conversion Shares”). The Conversion Price shall initially mean $0.10 per share; and which shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, or similar transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the Common Stock in connection with the business combination described above.
Conversion shall be effectuated by delivering by facsimile, email, or other delivery method to Debtor of the completed form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex “A” (the “Notice of Conversion”), executed by the Debtor evidencing the Debtor’s intention to convert a specified portion of the Note.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Debtor hereby waives grace, notice, demand or presentment for payment of this Note, dishonor, notice of dishonor, notice of default or nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, suit, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, diligence or any notice of or defense on account of the extension of time of payments or change in the method of payments, and consents to any and all renewals and extensions in the time of payment hereof, and the release of any party primarily or secondarily liable hereon.
It is expressly provided and stipulated that notwithstanding any provision of this Note, in no event shall the aggregate of all interest paid by Debtor to Payee hereunder ever exceed the maximum non-usurious rate of interest which may lawfully be charged Debtor under the laws of the State of Texas or United States Federal Government, as applicable, on the Principal Amount balance of this Note remaining unpaid. It is expressly stipulated and agreed by Debtor that it is the intent of Payee and Debtor in the execution and delivery of this Note to contract in furtherance of such laws, and that none of the terms of this Note shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money, at any interest rate in excess of the maximum non-usurious rate of interest permitted to be charged Debtor under the laws of the State of Texas or United States Federal Government, as applicable. The provisions of this paragraph shall govern over all other provisions of this Note should any such provisions be in apparent conflict herewith.
2
Specifically, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, it is expressly provided that:
(i) In the event of prepayment of the Principal Amount of this Note, in whole or in part, or the payment of the Principal Amount of this Note prior to the Maturity Date, whether resulting from acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, if the aggregate amount of interest accruing hereon prior to such payment plus the amount of any interest accruing after maturity and plus any other amount paid or accrued in connection with the indebtedness evidenced hereby which by law are deemed interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and which aggregate amounts paid or accrued (if calculated in accordance with the provisions of this Note other than this paragraph) would exceed the maximum non-usurious rate of interest which could lawfully be charged as above mentioned on the unpaid Principal Amount balance of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note from time to time advanced (less any discount) and remaining unpaid from the date advanced to the date of final payment thereof, then in such event the amount of such excess shall be credited, as of the date paid, toward the payment of the Principal Amount of this Note so as to reduce the amount of the final payment of Principal Amount due on this Note, or if the Principal Amount hereof has been paid in full, refunded to Debtor.
(ii) If under any circumstances the aggregate amounts paid on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note prior to and incident to the final payment hereof include amounts which by law are deemed interest and which would exceed the maximum non-usurious rate of interest which could lawfully have been charged or collected on this Note, as above mentioned, Debtor stipulates that (a) any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest and any excess shall be credited hereon by the holder hereof (or, if this Note shall have been paid in full, refunded to Debtor); and (b) determination of the rate of interest for determining whether the indebtedness evidenced hereby is usurious shall be made by amortizing, prorating, allocating, and spreading, in equal parts during the full stated term hereof, all interest at any time contracted for, charged, or received from Debtor in connection with such indebtedness, and any excess shall be canceled, credited, or refunded as set forth in (a) herein.
Any check, draft, money order, or other instrument given in payment of all or any portion of this Note may be accepted by Payee and handled in collection in the customary manner, but the same shall not constitute payment hereunder or diminish any rights of Payee except to the extent that actual cash proceeds of such instruments are unconditionally received by Payee. If at any time any payment of the Principal Amount of or interest on this Note is rescinded or must be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Debtor or otherwise, the obligation under this Note with respect to that payment shall be reinstated as though the payment had been due but not made at that time.
3
Debtor agrees that this Note shall be freely assignable to any assignee of Payee, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws.
Debtor represents and warrants that the extension of credit represented by this Note is for business, commercial, investment, or other similar purposes and not primarily for personal, family, household or agricultural use.
This Notehas been executed and delivered and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Texas and of the UnitedStates of America applicable in Texas. Venue for any litigation between Debtor and Payee with respect tothis Note shall be Bexar County, Texas. Debtor and Payee hereby irrevocably submit to personal jurisdiction in Texas and waive all objectionsto personal jurisdiction in Texas and venue in Bexar County for purposes of such litigation.
TIDS NOTEREPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN DEBTOR AND PAYEE AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENTORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN DEBTOR AND PAYEE.

The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.

(i) “Conversion Amount” means the portion of the Original Principal Amount and Interest to be converted, plus any penalties, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made.
3
(ii) “Conversion Price” shall equal the greater of $0.10 (ten) cents or 25% discount to up-listing price or offering/underwriting price concurrent with the Company listing on Nasdaq or NYSE American., subject to adjustment as provided in this Note.
(b) Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by email, facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York, NY Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company. On or before the third Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (A) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates of Common Stock pursuant to the then existing provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Rule 144”) and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant the Rule 144. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Note representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice.
(ii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If within two (2) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile or email copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to Holder via “DWAC/FAST” electronic transfer the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (a “Conversion Failure”), the Original Principal Amount of the Note shall increase by $500 per day until the Company issues and delivers a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (under Holder’s and Company’s expectation that any damages will tack back to the Issuance Date). Company will not be subject to any penalties once its transfer agent processes the shares to the DWAC system. If the Company fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in this Section, resulting in a Conversion Failure, the Holder, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares and have the rescinded conversion amount returned to the Outstanding Balance with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Company (under Holder’s and Company’s expectations that any returned conversion amounts will tack back to the original date of the Note).
(iii) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.
4
(c) Limitations on Conversions or Trading.
(i) Beneficial Ownership. The Company shall not effect any conversions of this Note and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note or receive shares of Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of such interest payment, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest. Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of this Note that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with Section 3(a) and, any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Note.
(ii) Capitalization. So long as this as this Note is outstanding, upon written request of the Holder, the Company shall furnish to the Holder the then-current number of common shares issued and outstanding, the then-current number of common shares authorized, and the then-current number of shares reserved for third parties.
(d) Other Provisions.
(i) Share Reservation. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock a number of shares equal to at least the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding amounts under this Note; and within 3 (three) Business Days following the receipt by the Company of a Holder’s notice that such minimum number of shares of Common Stock is not so reserved, the Company shall promptly reserve a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to comply with such requirement. The Company will at all times reserve at least 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for conversion.
(ii) Prepayment. In the event that the Company shall pay any amounts due under the Note prior to the Maturity Date defined herein, the Company shall remit to Holder the product of the amount tendered multiplied by one hundred twenty percent (120%). All calculations under this Section 3 shall be rounded up to the nearest $0.00001 or whole share.
(iii) Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 2 herein for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
5
(4) Terms of Future Financings. So long as this Note is outstanding, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any security with any term more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that was not similarly provided to the Holder in this Note, then the Company shall notify the Holder of such additional or more favorable term and such term, at Holder’s option, shall become a part of the transaction documents with the Holder. The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion discounts, conversion lookback periods, interest rates, original issue discounts, stock sale price, private placement price per share, and warrant coverage. Financings in which the Company receives proceeds of one million dollars or greater or excluded from the Terms of Future Financings.
(5) REISSUANCE OF THIS NOTE.
(a) Assignability. The Company may not assign this Note. This Note will be binding upon the Company and its successors and will inure to the benefit of the Holder and its successors and assigns and may be assigned by the Holder to anyone of its choosing without Company’s approval.
(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note representing the outstanding Principal.
(6) NOTICES. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms hereof must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party) (iii) upon receipt, when sent by email; or (iv) one (1) Trading Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses and facsimile numbers for such communications shall be those set forth in the communications and documents that each party has provided the other immediately preceding the issuance of this Note or at such other address and/or facsimile number and/or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by written notice given to each other party three (3) Business Days prior to the effectiveness of such change. Written confirmation of receipt (i) given by the recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (ii) mechanically or electronically generated by the sender’s facsimile machine containing the time, date, recipient facsimile number and an image of the first page of such transmission or (iii) provided by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, shall be rebuttable evidence of personal service, receipt by facsimile or receipt from a nationally recognized overnight delivery service in accordance with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively.

(7) APPLICABLE LAW AND VENUE. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to conflicts of laws thereof. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of California or in the federal courts located in the city of San Diego, in the State of California. Both parties and the individuals signing this Agreement agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.
(8) WAIVER. Any waiver by the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note. Any waiver must be in writing.
(9) LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Holder and Company agree that in the event Company fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of this Note, Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates, future share prices, future trading volumes and other relevant factors. Accordingly, Holder and Company agree that any fees, balance adjustments, default interest or other charges assessed under this Note are not penalties but instead are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages (under Holder’s and Company’s expectations that any such liquidated damages will tack back to the Closing Date for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144).

This SECURITIES PURCHASEAGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 9^th^, 2023, is entered into by and between Digerati Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (the “Company”), and Lucas Ventures, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (the “Buyer”).
A. The Company and the Buyer are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the rules and regulations as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).
B. Upon the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement, the Buyer desires to purchase and the Company desires to issue and sell, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (i) a Convertible Promissory Note of the Company, in the form attached hereto as ExhibitA (the “Note”), in the original principal amount of $55,000.00 (the “Original Principal Amount”) (together with any note(s) issued in replacement thereof or as a dividend thereon or otherwise with respect thereto in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Note”) convertible into shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), and (ii) three hundred thousand (300,000) restricted common shares in the Company (“Inducement Shares”) to be delivered to Buyer within 7 (seven) calendar days following the Closing Date.
NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:
- Purchase and Sale. On the Closing Date (as defined below), the Company shall issue and sell to the Buyer and the Buyer agrees to purchase from the Company the (i) Note in the original principal amount of $55,000.00 and (ii) three hundred thousand Inducement Shares. (collectively the “Securities”).
1.1. Form of Payment. On the Closing Date, (i) the Buyer shall pay the purchase price of $50,000 (the “Purchase Price”) at the Closing (as defined below) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a Company account designated by the Company, in accordance with the Company’s written wiring instructions, against delivery of the Securities, and (ii) the Company shall deliver such duly executed Securities on behalf of the Company, to the Buyer, against delivery of such Purchase Price.
1.2. Closing Date. The date and time of the issuance and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (the “Closing Date”) shall be on or about May 9^th^, 2023, or such other mutually agreed upon time. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date at such location as may be agreed to by the parties.
1.3. Share Reservation. The Company shall at all times require its transfer agent to establish a reserve of shares of its authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Stock in the amount of 1,000,000 shares for purposes of conversion of the Note. The Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to agree that it will not reduce the reserve under any circumstances unless such reduction is pre-approved in writing by the Buyer.
- Buyer’s Investment Representations; Governing Law; Miscellaneous.
2.1 Buyer’s Investment Representations.
(a) The Buyer understands that the Securities are not registered under the 1933 Act, on the basis that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof, and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated on the Buyer’s representations set forth herein. The Buyer realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, the Buyer has in mind merely acquiring shares of the Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The Buyer does not have any such intention.
(b) In particular, the Buyer is aware that the Securities may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act unless all of the conditions of the applicable Rules are met. The Buyer represents that, in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Securities, it will sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Securities only in a manner consistent with its representations set forth herein.
(c) The Buyer agrees that in no event will it make a transfer or disposition of any of the Securities (other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act), unless and until (i) the Buyer shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the disposition, and (ii) if requested by the Company, at the expense of the Buyer or transferee, the Buyer shall have furnished to the Company either (A) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the 1933 Act or (B) a “no action” letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission to the effect that the transfer of such securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission that action be taken with respect thereto.
(d) The Buyer represents and warrants to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect and, for the purpose of Section 25102(f) of the California Corporations Code, he or she is excluded from the count of “purchasers” pursuant to Rule 260.102.13 thereunder.
2.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of California or in the federal courts located in San Diego, California. The parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement. Each party 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. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

2.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party.
2.4 Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
2.5 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement 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 provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
2.6 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor the Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.

2.8 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights, interests or obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by the Company without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of the Buyer; provided, however, that in the case of a merger, sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets or other corporate reorganization, the Buyer shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay such consent. This Agreement or any of the severable rights and obligations inuring to the benefit of or to be performed by Buyer hereunder may be assigned by Buyer to a third party, including its financing sources, in whole or in part, without the need to obtain the Company’s consent thereto.
2.9 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.
2.10 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company and the agreements and covenants set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing hereunder notwithstanding any due diligence investigation conducted by or on behalf of the Buyer. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and all its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and agents for loss or damage arising as a result of or related to any breach or alleged breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement or any of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement, including advancement of expenses as they are incurred.
2.11 No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
2.12 Remedies. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Agreement will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement, that the Buyer 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 Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
2.13 Buyer’s Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, remedies, and powers conferred in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents on the Buyer are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies, and shall be in addition to every other right, power, and remedy that the Buyer may have, whether specifically granted in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or existing at law, in equity, or by statute; and any and all such rights and remedies may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as the Buyer may deem expedient.
2.14 Ownership Limitation. If at any time after the Closing, the Buyer shall or would receive shares of Common Stock in payment of interest or principal under Note so that the Buyer would, together with other shares of Common Stock held by it or its Affiliates, own or beneficially own by virtue of such action or receipt of additional shares of Common Stock a number of shares exceeding 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (the “Maximum Percentage”), the Company shall not be obligated and shall not issue to the Buyer shares of Common Stock which would exceed the Maximum Percentage, but only until such time as the Maximum Percentage would no longer be exceeded by any such receipt of shares of Common Stock by the Buyer. The foregoing limitations are enforceable, unconditional and non-waivable and shall apply to all Affiliates and assigns of the Buyer.
2.15 No Shorting. For so long as Investor holds any securities of Company, neither Investor nor any of its Affiliates will engage in or effect, directly or indirectly, any Short Sale of Common Stock.
2.16 Attorneys’ Fees and Cost of Collection. In the event of any action at law or in equity to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the parties agree that the party who is awarded the most money shall be deemed the prevailing party for all purposes and shall therefore be entitled to an additional award of the full amount of the attorneys’ fees and expenses paid by such prevailing party in connection with the litigation and/or dispute without reduction or apportionment based upon the individual claims or defenses giving rise to the fees and expenses. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair a court’s power
