“The Company shall repay the entire principal balance then outstanding under this Note on December 31, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”).
2. Amendment to Section 1(b) of the Note. Section 1(b) of the Note shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“Interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall accrue at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum commencing on the date hereof through July 31, 2016, and at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum commencing on August 31, 2016 through the Maturity Date. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), then to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company will pay interest to the Payee on the then outstanding principal balance of the Note from the date of the Event of Default until this Note is paid in full at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum.”
3. Amendment to Section 2 of the Note. Section 2 of the Note shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“Voluntary Exchange of Principal and Interest upon Qualified Offering or Public Offering. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2 and provided this Note remains outstanding, the Payee shall have the right, at the Payee’s option, to exchange (the “Voluntary Exchange”) the outstanding principal balance of this Note plus the Conversion Interest Amount (as defined below) into such number of fully paid and non-assessable securities (shares and warrants) to be issued in a Qualified Offering (as defined below) or Public Offering (as defined below). With respect to determining to exercise the Voluntary Exchange, the Company and/or the Company’s investment banker(s) shall communicate and provide notice of the timing, pricing and closing of the Qualified Offering or Public Offering to the Payee in the same manner as all other investors in such Qualified Offering or Public Offering. Upon effectuating such Voluntary Exchange, the Payee shall be deemed to be a purchaser in such Qualified Offering or Public Offering and shall be granted all rights afforded to an investor in such Qualified Offering or Public Offering. “Qualified Offering” shall mean one or a series of private placement offerings of equity or equity-linked securities following the Issuance Date, resulting in gross proceeds of at least $2,000,000 to the Company. “Public Offering” shall mean a registered offering of equity or equity-linked securities following the Issuance Date, resulting in gross proceeds of at least $5,000,000 to the Company.
“Initial Conversion Interest Amount” shall mean interest payable in an amount equal to all accrued but unpaid interest assuming the Initial Exchange Principal Amount had been held from the Issuance Date to the original Maturity Date of July 31, 2016 (for the avoidance of doubt, such amount that is calculated using the following formula: (a) 8% multiplied by the Initial Exchange Principal Amount ($600,000), multiplied by (b) the actual number of days elapsed in a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days in accordance with the formula in Section 1(b) of the Note, which amount shall equal $48,000 in the aggregate).
“Remaining Conversion Interest Amount” shall mean interest payable in an amount equal to the sum of (A) all accrued but unpaid interest on such portion of the Remaining Principal Amount subject to such Voluntary Exchange assuming such portion of the Remaining Principal Amount had been held from the original Maturity Date of July 31, 2016 to the amended Maturity Date of December 31, 2016 (for the avoidance of doubt, such amount that is calculated using the following formula: (a) 12% multiplied by such portion of the Remaining Principal Amount subject to such Voluntary Exchange, multiplied by (b) the actual number of days elapsed in a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days in accordance with the formula in Section 1(b) of the Note, which amount shall equal $30,000 in the aggregate assuming the aggregate Remaining Principal Amount of $600,000 is used in such calculation) plus (B) all accrued but unpaid interest assuming such portion of the Remaining Principal Amount had been held from the Issuance Date to the original Maturity Date of July 31, 2016 (for the avoidance of doubt, such amount that is calculated using the following formula: (a) 8% multiplied by the such portion of the Remaining Principal Amount, multiplied by (b) the actual number of days elapsed in a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days in accordance with the formula in Section 1(b) of the Note, which amount shall equal $48,000 in the aggregate assuming the aggregate Remaining Principal Amount of $600,000 is used in such calculation).
Subject to the terms of Section 3 below, in the event the Payee does not exercise the Voluntary Exchange, the Note shall remain outstanding.“
