The aggregate principal amount of the Notes is $1,450,000 and the Company received $1,377,500 after giving effect to the 5% original issue discount. The Notes bears interest at a rate equal to 10% per annum (which interest rate is increased to 24% per annum upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes)), have a maturity date of September 16, 2016 and are convertible (principal, and interest) at any time after the issuance date of the Notes into shares of the Company's Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $0.30 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Notes. The Notes provides for two amortization payments on the six-month and seven-month anniversary of the issue date with each amortization payment being one third of the total outstanding principal and interest, if the amortization payments are made in cash then the payment is an amount equal to 120% of the applicable amortization payment. The Notes become payable within three days of the Company consummating a fully underwritten offering.

The Notes contains certain covenants, such as restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, payment of restricted payments, redemptions, payment of cash dividends and the transfer of assets. The Notes also contains certain adjustment provisions that apply in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or similar transactions. In addition, subject to limited exceptions, the Purchaser will not have the right to convert any portion of the Note if the Purchaser, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to its conversion. The Purchaser may not convert into or otherwise beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to its conversion.

In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Notes, the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”) entered into a Security Agreement, Pledge Agreement and Subsidiary Agreement with Calvary Fund I LP, as agent, pursuant to which the Company and the Subsidiaries granted a lien on all assets of the Company (the “Collateral”) excluding permitted indebtedness, for the benefit of the Purchasers, to secure the Company’s obligations under the Notes. Upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes), the Purchaser may, among other things, collect or take possession of the Collateral, proceed with the foreclosure of the security interest in the Collateral or sell, lease or dispose of the Collateral.

The use of proceeds from this financing are intended for further investment in Spondoolies Tech Ltd, the purchase of computer equipment, and for general corporate purposes.

Pickwick Capital Partners, LLC (“Pickwick”), a registered broker-dealer, served as the non-exclusive placement agent and placed $300,000 of the Notes. Pickwick earned a placement agent fee equal to 5% of the proceeds the Company received from the Notes it placed, for an aggregate cash payment of $14,250 and a Warrant to Purchase 70,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.30 (the “Advisor Warrant”). The Company also reimbursed the Purchaser $30,000 for legal fees and expenses from the private placement.

The issuance of the Common Stock is exempt from the registration requirements from the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereof. The Company has not engaged in general solicitation or advertising with regard to the issuance and sale of the Common Stock and has not offered securities to the public in connection with such issuance and sale.

After giving effect to the Investment and the Company’s prior investment of $1,500,000 on May 12, 2015, the Company owns approximately 9.6% of Spondoolies’ equity on a fully diluted basis.

The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, combination of shares and similar recapitalization transactions. The Series B Shares are also entitled to certain preemptive rights, and a liquidation preference in the event of dissolution of Spondoolies.
