Item
2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
On
September 1, 2017, First Harvest Corp. (the “Company”) received a notice of default from EMA Financial, LLC (“EMA”)
with respect to the EMA Notes (as defined below). Pursuant to the notice of default, EMA has requested that the Company redeem
the EMA Notes for cash in the amount of $944,538.31. On October 19, 2017, EMA filed a complaint with the United States District
Court, Southern District of New York (Case No.: 1:17-cv-08072) against the Company, Cannavoices, Inc. (“Cannavoices”)
and FH Acquisition Corp. (“FH”). In the complaint, EMA indicated that (i) on April 10, 2017, the Company and EMA entered
into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “April 2017 SPA”) and the Company issued EMA a 12% Convertible Note in the
principal amount of $175,000 (the “April 2017 Note”) and (ii) on May 15, 2017, the Company and EMA entered into an
additional Securities Purchase Agreement (the “May 2017 SPA” and together with the April 2017 SPA, the “Securities
Purchase Agreements”) and the Company issued EMA an additional 12% Convertible Note in the principal amount of $84,500 (the
“May 2017 Note” and together with the April 2017 Note, the “EMA Notes”). In the complaint, EMA
indicated that pursuant to the May 2017 SPA and a Registration Rights Agreement dated May 15, 2017, the Company was required to
file and have declared effective a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
for the registration of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the EMA Notes. EMA alleges that
the Company failed to file a registration statement thus giving rise to an event of default pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreements. Pursuant to the complaint, EMA requests (i) that the Company immediately file a registration statement with the SEC
with respect to the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the EMA Notes, (ii) that the Company
and Cannavoices and FH, as guarantors of the EMA Notes, pay such amount in damages in excess of $259,500 which consists of the
principal amount of the EMA Notes, liquidated damages and default interest and (iii) that the Company pay reasonable legal fees
incurred by EMA with respect to the prosecution of the lawsuit.
On
November 9, 2017, the Company received a notice of default from Auctus Fund, LLC (“Auctus”) with respect to (i) the
convertible promissory note issued by the Company in favor of Auctus on April 7, 2017 in the principal amount of $175,000 (the
“Auctus April Note”) and (ii) the convertible promissory note issued by the Company in favor of Auctus on May 15,
2017 in the principal amount of $84,500 (the “Auctus May Note” and together with the Auctus April Note, the “Auctus
Notes”). The notice of default alleges that between July and August 2017, the Company consummated a series of financing
transactions and that pursuant to Section 4.16 of the Auctus May Note, the Company was required to apply at least 60% of the proceeds
from such sales towards the payment of the Auctus May Note. In addition, the notice of default indicates that Section 4.16 of
the Auctus May Note contained a prohibition with respect to the consummation of a transaction involving capital raising or financing
from any party through the sale of debt and/or equity securities for a period of at least 90 days after the issuance date of the
Auctus May Note, or until August 13, 2017. Finally, Auctus alleges that a breach of the Auctus May Note resulted in a breach of
the Auctus April Note by virtue of the cross-default provision contained in the Auctus April Note. Auctus has requested that the
Company immediately pay $283,710.27 with respect to the Auctus April Note and $135,405.78 with respect to the Auctus May Note
which includes the principal amounts outstanding on such notes together with accrued interest and applicable penalties thereon.
The
foregoing loans from each of EMA and Auctus are disputed, contingent and unliquidated, and the Company intends to litigate such
allegations if a resolution cannot be agreed upon by all of the parties involved.
