January 23, 2013, Opexa closed a private offering consisting of
convertible notes (the &amp;#x201C;January 2013 Notes&amp;#x201D;) and
warrants to purchase shares of common stock for gross proceeds of
$650,000 of which $100,000 was from a related party (see Note
8).&amp;#xA0;&amp;#xA0;The January 2013 Notes&amp;#xA0;are scheduled to mature
on January 23, 2014 and accrue interest at the rate of 12% per
annum, compounded annually.&amp;#xA0;&amp;#xA0;The January 2013 Notes are
convertible into common stock at the option of the investors at a
price of $1.30 per share, subject to certain
limitations.&amp;#xA0;&amp;#xA0;The principal balance plus accrued interest
is payable within five business days of the receipt by Opexa of an
aggregate of at least $7.5 million in proceeds from the sale of its
equity securities and/or as payments from one or more partners or
potential partners in return for granting a license, other rights,
or an option to license or otherwise acquire rights with respect to
Tcelna.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="TEXT-INDENT: 18pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;The
January 2013 Notes were analyzed at issuance for a beneficial
conversion feature and Opexa concluded that a beneficial conversion
feature exists. The beneficial conversion feature was measured
using the commitment-date stock price and was determined to be
$141,829 of which $21,820 was attributable to the related
party.&amp;#xA0;&amp;#xA0;Opexa also analyzed the Notes for derivative
accounting consideration and determined that derivative accounting
does not apply.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="TEXT-INDENT: 18pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;In
connection with the issuance of the January 2013 Notes, Opexa also
issued Series J warrants to purchase an aggregate of 243,750 shares
of Opexa&amp;#x2019;s common stock (see Note 10), subject to certain
limitations and adjustments.&amp;#xA0;&amp;#xA0;The relative fair value of
the warrant liabilities of $195,969, together with the beneficial
conversion feature of $141,829 were recognized as a debt discount
and are amortized to interest expense in the consolidated
statements of expenses over the term of the January 2013 Notes
using the effective interest method.&amp;#xA0;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="TEXT-INDENT: 18pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;On
February 26, 2013, following the receipt of $3.25 million in gross
proceeds during February 2013 from the sale of common stock and
warrants to purchase shares of common stock, and following the
receipt of the upfront payment of $5 million from Merck on February
20, 2013, Opexa paid principal and interest totaling $567,368 to
holders of the January 2013 Notes, of which $100,000 was to a
related party, and issued 77,034 shares of common stock to one
holder of the January 2013 Notes who elected to convert the
principal of $100,000.&amp;#xA0;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="TEXT-INDENT: 18pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&amp;#xA0;&amp;#xA0;During
the six months ended June 30, 2013, the debt discount of $337,798
in connection with the January 2013 Notes was fully amortized to
interest expense.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; DISPLAY: block"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="TEXT-INDENT: 18pt; DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"&gt;&lt;font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;In
February 2013, three of the third party holders of the July 2012
Notes elected to convert their principal amounts of $900,000 into
shares of the Company&amp;#x2019;s Series A convertible preferred stock
with further immediate conversion into 288,229 shares of the
Company&amp;#x2019;s common stock. As of June 30, 2013, an aggregate of
$3,185,000 in principal amount of the July 2012 Notes to third
parties and related parties is reported as long term liabilities in
the consolidated balance sheets, of which $630,000 was issued to
related parties (see Note 8).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
