A third toxic note, $54,000 face value from KBM Worldwide, Inc., convertible at a 49% discount to recent trading prices and carrying steep prepayment penalties (115%-140% of principal depending on timing).

Inception Mining took on its first toxic convertible note -- $220,000 face value ($55,000 initial tranche) from Iconic Holdings, LLC, convertible at a steep discount (the lower of $0.45 or 60% of recent lowest trading prices) -- the start of a recurring pattern of death-spiral financing.
