~~Pursuant~~A ~~to an exchange agreement dated March 30, 2018~~copy ~~(the “Exchange Agreement”), the existing holder~~ of the ~~outstanding~~press ~~10%~~release ~~convertible~~is ~~promissory~~attached ~~note~~hereto ~~in the~~as ~~aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, plus all accrued and~~Exhibit unpaid interest thereon, which matured on September 30, 2017, originally issued by the Company pursuant to that certain exchange agreement dated January 17, 2017 (the “Promissory Note”), exchanged the Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note Exchange”) for a Senior Note with a principal amount of $834,027 and 83,304 Note Warrants pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement99. ~~Further, the Company repaid $300,000 of the outstanding balance of the Promissory Note concurrent with the closing~~1.

Additionally, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the holder of (i) shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of $5,500 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (the “Series B Preferred”), and (ii) five-year warrants to purchase 91,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.50 per share (the “Series A Warrants”), originally issued by the Company pursuant that certain securities purchase agreement dated December 31, 2014, as amended March 27, 2015, exchanged the Series B Preferred and the Series A Warrants (the “Series B Exchange” and, together with the Promissory Note Exchange, the “Exchange”) for a Junior Note with a principal amount of $1,294,900 and 129,490 Note Warrants pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement.

The Notes mature on September 30, 2018, accrue interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and may not be prepaid by the Company prior to the maturity without the consent of the holder. The principal amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall automatically exchange (the “Automatic Exchange”), without any action of the holder, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable securities (e.g. shares and warrants) to be issued in a Qualified Offering. “Qualified Offering” means one or a series of offerings of equity or equity-linked securities resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of at least $6,628,927 to the Company, including the Automatic Exchange of the Notes into the Qualified Offering.

The Senior Note and the Junior Note are in substantially similar form, provided, however, that the Senior Note shall rank senior to the Junior Note with respect to payment. The Notes shall rank senior to all future indebtedness of the Company and to the Company’s issued and outstanding equity securities, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Pursuant to the Notes, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the consent of the holder (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), incur any new indebtedness while the Notes are outstanding, except no consent shall be required in connection with indebtedness incurred by the Company in the ordinary course of business or from any strategic investors. In addition, so long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall not create or impose any material lien upon any material property or assets (including intellectual property) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries except for Permitted Liens (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement).

The Note contains the following event of default provisions:

●

the failure to pay principal or interest within ten business days after such amounts are due;

●

any material breach by the Company of any representations or warranties made in the Notes;

●

the holder of any indebtedness of the Company shall accelerate any payment of any amount on any such indebtedness, the aggregate principal amount of which indebtedness is in excess of $500,000, and such indebtedness has not been discharged in full or such acceleration has not been stayed, rescinded or annulled within fifteen (15) business days of such acceleration;

●

a judgment for the payment of money shall be rendered against the Company for an amount in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate for all such judgments that shall remain unpaid for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days;

●

Company files any petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or an involuntary petition is filed against the Company under any bankruptcy statute now or hereafter in effect, and such petition is not dismissed or discharged within 45 days; or

●

A proceeding or case shall be commenced in respect of the Company without its application or consent, in any court of competent jurisdiction, seeking (i) its liquidation, dissolution or winding up, (ii) the appointment of a trustee or the like of it or of all or any substantial part of its assets or (iii) similar relief in respect of it under any law providing for the relief of debtors, and such proceeding or case described shall continue undismissed, or unstayed and in effect, for a period of forty-five (45) consecutive days or any order for relief shall be entered in an involuntary case under the Bankruptcy Code or under the comparable laws of any jurisdiction (foreign or domestic) against the Company or any of its subsidiaries and shall continue undismissed, or unstayed and in effect for a period of forty-five (45) consecutive days.

Additionally, the Company will issue an aggregate of 86,957 placement agent warrants with a term of five years, an exercise price equal to $1.27 per share, and a cashless exercise provision.
