Item 2.03
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation

 On March 16, 2017, the Company entered into a Secured Promissory Note Financing and Participation Rights Agreement (“Agreement”) with a private investor pursuant to which the Company issued its promissory note (“Note”) in the principal amount of $2 million. The Note carries simple interest at 6% per year. The Note is payable on demand 24 months after the date of issuance. The Note is secured by the assets of PPA Grand Johanna LLC which owns and operated the 2 megawatt battery storage project in Irvine, California. In addition, the Company’s CEO Joseph Lu has provided a personal guarantee of $1 million of the Note’s principal amount.

The Agreement further provides that if the Company issues its equity securities within 24 months of the issuance of the Note which results in aggregate proceeds to the Company of not less than $20,000,000 based on Company valuation of at least $100,000,000, the Note holder will have the right to participate in such qualified financing and convert the first $1million of the Note balance into the offered securities at 90% of the price per share paid under the qualified financing. In addition, the Note holder will have the right to convert the remaining balance of the Note into equity securities offered by the Company in the qualified financing at the same price per share paid by the other participants in the qualified financing.

The above description of the Agreement and the Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete Agreement which attached as an exhibit to this Report.
