FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Vaporin, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, hereby promises to pay to the order of ___________ (the “Holder”), the principal sum of $________ together with interest thereon at 10% per annum. The principal of this Note (this “Note”) and the interest is due and payable on the Maturity Date (as defined above). While in default, this Note shall bear interest at the rate of 18% per annual or such maximum rate of interest allowable under the laws of the State of Florida. Payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States. This Note may be prepaid without the express written consent of the Holder at any time on 30 days’ prior written notice to the Holder. This Note is being issued in conjunction with the execution of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of the Issuance Date (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).
1. Conversion to Vapor Corp. Common Stock. If the proposed merger with Vapor Corp. (“Vapor”) is consummated, this Note shall be convertible into shares of Vapor common stock as provided for under the Securities Purchase Agreement. If the Vapor merger is not effectuated or the issuance of the shares underlying this Note is not approved by Vapor shareholders, this Note shall not be convertible.
| 2. | Anti-Dilution Protection. |
(a) In the event, prior to the payment of this Note, that the Company shall issue any of its shares of common stock as a stock dividend or shall subdivide the number of outstanding shares of common stock into a greater number of shares, then, in either of such events, the Conversion Price shall be increased proportionately; and, conversely, in the event that the Company shall reduce the number of outstanding shares of common stock by combining such shares into a smaller number of shares, then, in such event, the Conversion Price shall be decreased proportionately. Any dividend paid or distributed upon the common stock in shares of any other class of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into shares of common stock shall be treated as a dividend paid in common stock. In the event that the Company shall pay a dividend consisting of the securities of any other entity or in cash or other property, upon the next conversion of this Note, the Holder shall receive the securities, cash, or property which the Holder would have
been entitled to if the conversion occurred immediately prior to the record date of such dividend.
(b) In the event, prior to the payment of this Note, that the Company shall be recapitalized by reclassifying its outstanding common stock (other than into shares of common stock with a different par value, or by changing its outstanding shares of common stock to shares without par value), or in the event the Company or a successor corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (any of which is defined as a “Corporation”) shall consolidate or merge with or convey all or substantially all of its, or of any successor Corporation's property and assets to any other Corporation or Corporations (any such other Corporation being included within the meaning of the term “successor Corporation” used in the context of any consolidation or merger of any other Corporation with, or the sale of all or substantially all of the property of any such other Corporation to, another Corporation or Corporations), or in the event of any other material change in the capital structure of the Company or of any successor Corporation by reason of any reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise, then, as a condition of any such reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, a prompt, proportionate, equitable, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby in lieu of the securities of the Company theretofore issuable upon the conversion of this Note, the Holder upon conversion shall receive the securities or assets as may be issued or paid as a result of the foregoing; and in any such event, the rights of the Holder of this Note to any adjustment in the number of shares of common stock obtainable upon conversion of this Note, as provided, shall continue and be preserved in respect of any shares, securities or assets which the Holder becomes entitled to obtain. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 2 shall not apply to a merger with a subsidiary provided the Company is the continuing Corporation or involving a subsidiary merger andprovidedfurther such merger does not result in any reclassification, capital reorganization or other change of the securities issuable under this Note. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2(b) shall apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations and changes of securities and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.
(c) In the event the Company, at any time while this Note shall remain outstanding, shall sell all or substantially all of its assets, or dissolve, liquidate, or wind up its affairs, prompt, proportionate, equitable, lawful and adequate provision shall be made as part of the terms of any such sale, dissolution, liquidation, or winding up such that the Holder of this Note may thereafter receive, upon exercise hereof, in lieu of the securities of the Company which it would have been entitled to receive, the same kind and amount of any shares, securities or assets as may be issuable, distributable or payable upon any such sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up with respect to each common share of the Company;provided,however, that in the event of any such sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, the conversion provisions of this Note shall terminate on a date fixed by the Company, such date so fixed to be not earlier than 6:00 p.m., New York time, on the 30th day after the date on which notice of such termination of conversion provisions of this Note has been given by mail to the Holder of this Note at such Holder's address as it appears on the books of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, if the proposed merger with Vapor is consummated, Vapor shall assume this Note.
3. Event of Default. In the event of any failure to pay this Note when due, the Company shall commence any case, proceeding or other action under any existing or future law of
any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or relief of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it, or seeking to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to its debts, or seeking appointment of a receiver, custodian, trustee or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its assets; or there shall be commenced against the Company, any case, proceeding or other action which results in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment remains undismissed, undischarged or unbounded for a period of 30 days after service upon the Company; or there shall be commenced against the Company, any case, proceeding or other action seeking issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, restraint or similar process against all or any substantial part of its assets which results in the entry of an order for any such relief which shall not have been vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded pending appeal within 10 days from the entry thereof after service upon the Company; or the Company shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or the Company shall take any action indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, or in furtherance of, any of the foregoing; then, or any time thereafter during the continuance of any of such events, the entire unpaid balance of this Note then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon, if any, shall be and become immediately due and payable without notice of demand by Holder.
