The Convertible Note matures on December 31, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”) and bears interest at an annual rate of interest of 10 percent until maturity, with interest payable quarterly. The Note Investor has a right, in their sole discretion, to convert the Convertible Note into shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company under certain circumstances at a conversion rate of $0.08 per Share. If the Convertible Note has not been fully repaid by the Company by the Maturity Date or converted into shares at the election of the Convertible Note Investor prior to the Maturity Date, then such Convertible Note will accrue interest at the annual rate of 12% from the Maturity Date until the date the Convertible Note is repaid in full. Any interest not paid quarterly will also accrue interest at the annual rate of 12%. Under the terms of the Convertible Note, the Company agreed to seek shareholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company by at least 25,000,000 shares on or before September 30, 2014. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Convertible Note for working capital, general corporate purposes, and debt repayment.
