Exhibit 10.1
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [_________], is entered into by and between Dethrone Royalty Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and [________], a [________] corporation, its successors and/or assigns (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. 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 Master Promissory Note, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, in the original principal amount of $48,000 (the “Master Note”), (ii) eight (8) Subsequent Promissory Notes, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each, a “Subsequent Note” and together with the Master Note and any notes issued in replacement of the Master Note or any Subsequent Note or as a dividend thereon or otherwise with respect thereto in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Notes”), convertible into shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), upon the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in such Note, and (iii) a Warrant to Purchase Common Stock, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Warrant”). This Agreement, the Notes, the Warrant and all other certificates, documents, agreements, resolutions and instruments delivered to any party under or in connection with this Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time, are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents”.
C. For purposes of this Agreement: “Conversion Shares” means all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all or any portion of the Notes; “Warrant Shares” means all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of or pursuant to the Warrant; and “Securities” means the Notes, the Conversion Shares, the Warrant and the Warrant Shares, as applicable.
NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of Securities.
1.1. Purchase of Securities. 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 Master Note and the Warrant.
1.2. Form of Payment. On the Closing Date, (i) the Buyer shall pay $40,000.00 as full consideration for the Master Note and the Warrant to be issued and sold to it at the Closing (as defined below) (the “Purchase Price”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company, in accordance with the Company’s written wiring instructions, against delivery of the Notes and the Warrant, and (ii) the Company shall execute and the Deliver the Master Note and the Warrant on behalf of the Company, to the Buyer, against delivery of such Purchase Price. The Company will issue the Subsequent Notes at Closing, but the payment of the purchase price for the Subsequent Notes will be paid, if ever, at the Buyer’s option and in accordance with the terms of the Master Note.
1.3. Closing Date. Subject to the satisfaction (or written waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 4 and Section 6 below, the date and time of the issuance and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (the “Closing Date”) shall be 12:00 noon, Eastern Standard Time on or about [_________], 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.
1.4. Original Issue Discount; Transaction Expenses. The Master Note carries an original issue discount of $4,000.00 (the “OID”). In addition, the Company agrees to pay $4,000.00 to the Buyer to cover the Buyer’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities (the “Transaction Expense Amount”), all of which amount is included in the initial principal balance of the Master Note. The Purchase Price, therefore, shall be $40,000.00, computed as follows: $48,000.00 original principal balance, less the OID, less the Transaction Expense Amount.
2. Buyer’s Representations and Warranties. The Buyer represents and warrants to the Company that: (i) this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized; (ii) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Buyer, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Buyer enforceable in accordance with its terms; and (iii) the Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

5. Conditions to the Company’s Obligation to Sell. The obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Securities to the Buyer at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions thereto, provided that these conditions are for the Company’s sole benefit and may be waived by the Company at any time in its sole discretion:
5.1. The Buyer shall have executed this Agreement and delivered the same to the Company.
5.2. The Buyer shall have delivered the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 1.2 above.
6. Conditions to the Buyer’s Obligation to Purchase. The obligation of the Buyer hereunder to purchase the Securities at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for the Buyer’s sole benefit and may be waived by the Buyer at any time in its sole discretion:
6.1. The Company shall have executed this Agreement and delivered the same to the Buyer.
6.2. The Company shall have delivered to the Buyer the duly executed Notes and Warrant in accordance with Section 1.2 above.
6.3. The Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions shall have been delivered to and acknowledged in writing by the Company’s Transfer Agent substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.

6.5. The Company shall have delivered to the Buyer a fully executed share issuance resolution to be delivered to the Transfer Agent substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F.
7. Reservation of Shares. At all times during which any Note is convertible or the Warrant is exercisable, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of all outstanding Notes and full exercise of the Warrant. The Company will at all times reserve at least (i) three times the number of shares of Common Stock necessary to convert the total Outstanding Balance (as defined in and determined pursuant to the Master Note) of each of the outstanding Notes, plus (ii) three times the number of Warrant Shares (as defined in and determined pursuant to the Warrant) deliverable upon full exercise of the Warrant (the “Share Reserve”), but in any event not less than 22,000,000 shares of Common Stock shall be reserved at all time for such purpose (the “Transfer Agent Reserve”). The Company further agrees that it will cause its transfer agent to immediately add shares of Common Stock to the Transfer Agent Reserve in increments of 1,000,000 shares as and when requested by the Buyer in writing from time to time, provided that such incremental increases do not cause the Transfer Agent Reserve to exceed the Share Reserve. In furtherance thereof, from and after the date hereof and until such time that the Notes have been paid in full and the Warrant exercised in full, the Company shall require its transfer agent to reserve for the purpose of issuance to the Buyer pursuant to conversions under the Notes and exercises under the Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Transfer Agent Reserve. The Company shall further require its transfer agent to hold such shares of Common Stock exclusively for the benefit of the Buyer and to issue such shares to the Buyer promptly upon Buyer’s delivery of a conversion notice under a Note or a Notice of Exercise under the Warrant.

8.10. Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, if at any time the Buyer shall or would be issued shares of Common Stock under any of the Transaction Documents, but such issuance would cause the Buyer (together with its affiliates) to beneficially own a number of shares exceeding the Maximum Percentage (as defined in the Master Note), then the Company must not issue to the Buyer the shares that would cause the Buyer to exceed the Maximum Percentage. For purposes of this Section, beneficial ownership of Common Stock will be determined under the 1934 Act.

Nothing herein shall restrict or impair a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading.
8.12. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO DEMAND THAT ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PARTIES HERETO BE TRIED BY JURY.
