Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, on April 19, 2017, Great Basin Scientific, Inc. (the “Company”) obtained an advance of $1.2 million from Utah Autism Foundation (the “Foundation”). David Spafford, one of the Company’s directors, and his wife, Susan Spafford, have been designated by the Foundation as “Founding Trustees” under its bylaws and have authority to control certain activities of the Foundation. The funds were used to repurchase both sets of analyzers from Onset Financial, Inc. (“Onset”) that were currently being leased from Onset pursuant to a sale-leaseback agreement.

On May 4, 2017 the Company and the Foundation entered into a definitive loan agreement, whereby the Company issued a promissory note with an effective date of April 13, 2017, for the $1.2 million advance.  The principal and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be repaid by the Company in twenty-three (23) consecutive equal monthly installments of Forty-Five Thousand Dollars ($45,000.00), commencing May 13, 2017, and continuing on the 13th day of each month thereafter, with a final payment of Three Hundred Thousand Four Hundred One and 54/100 Dollars ($300,401.54), representing all remaining unpaid principal and accrued interest, to be paid in the twenty-fourth (24th) month on April 13, 2019. The interest rate is 10.0% per annum and the Company granted a security interest in the analyzers to the Foundation until the loan is fully paid. The agreement includes standard and customer terms and default provisions.

The loan from the Foundation replaced $1.2 million in Company obligations to Onset that had higher monthly payments of $139,540 through September 2017 and $74,875 from October 2017 through April 2018.

(b)Collateral. Grantor shall maintain each material item of Collateral in the same condition, repair and working order as when acquired, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in accordance with any manufacturer’s manual, and shall as quickly as practicable provide all maintenance, service and repairs necessary for such purpose and shall promptly furnish to Lender a statement respecting any material loss or damage to any material portion of the Collateral.

(c)Indemnification. Grantor agrees to pay, and to save Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) with respect to, or resulting from, any and all excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral.

SECTION 5. Reporting and Recordkeeping. Grantor respectively covenants and agrees with Lender that from and after the date of this Agreement and until the Secured Obligation has been paid in full and satisfied:

(a)Maintenance of Records Generally. Grantor shall keep and maintain at its own cost and expense complete and accurate records of the Collateral, all in a manner consistent with Grantor’s past practice.

(b) Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. Grantor also authorizes Lender at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in Section 7 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

SECTION 7.  Remedies Upon Event of Default.

(a)If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may exercise all rights of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) and, in addition, Lender may sell the Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as Lender may deem satisfactory. Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral so sold at any public sale (or, if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations or if otherwise permitted under applicable law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same, absolutely, free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind. The purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold to it absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Grantor. The notice of such sale shall be given to Grantor ten (10) days prior to such sale and (A) in case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, and (B) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which sale may be consummated. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as Lender may determine. Lender, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the Security Interests and sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction. Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

(b)For the purpose of enforcing any and all rights and remedies under this Agreement, Lender may (i) require Grantor to, and Grantor agrees that it shall upon the request of Lender, forthwith assemble all or any part of the Collateral as directed by Lender and make it available at a place designated by Lender that is, in such Lender’s opinion, reasonably convenient to such Lender and Grantor, and/or (ii) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, enter, with or without process of law and without breach of the peace, any premise where any of the Collateral is or may be located and, without charge or liability to Lender, remove such Collateral from such premises.

SECTION 8. Limitation on Duties of the Lender Regarding Collateral. Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and Lender shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by Lender in good faith.

SECTION 9. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by Lender to the Secured Obligation in any manner Lender deems appropriate.

SECTION 10. Expenses. In the event that Grantor fails to comply with the provisions of the Purchase-Money Note or this Agreement, such that the value of any Collateral or the validity, perfection, rank or value of the Security Interests are thereby diminished or potentially diminished or put at risk, Lender may, but shall not be required to, effect such compliance on behalf of Grantor, and Grantor shall reimburse Lender for the costs thereof on demand. All sums so paid or incurred by Lender for any of the foregoing and any and all other sums for which Grantor may become liable hereunder and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, legal expenses and court costs) incurred by Lender in enforcing or protecting the Security Interests or any of their rights or remedies thereon shall be payable by Grantor on demand and shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment) until paid at the rate then applicable under the Purchase-Money Note and shall be additional Secured Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 11.  Notices.  All notices and communications hereunder shall be given to the addresses as follows:

Lender:11201 South Susan Drive, Sandy, UT 84092

Grantor:420 East South Temple, Suite 520, Salt Lake City, UT 84111

SECTION 12. Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Non-waiver; etc. The enumeration of the rights and remedies of Lender set forth in this Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by Lender of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or under the Purchase-Money Note, or that may now or hereafter exist in law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between Grantor, Lender or their respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or the Purchase-Money Note or to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.

SECTION 13. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is for the benefit of Lender and its permitted successors and assigns, and in the event of an assignment of all or any of the Secured Obligations, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness. This Agreement shall be binding on Grantor and its successors and assigns; provided that Grantor may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender.

SECTION 14. Amendments, Waivers and Consents. No term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement may be amended unless in writing signed by both Lender and Grantor.

SECTION 15. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

SECTION 16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, without reference to the conflicts or choice of law principles thereof except as required by the UCC.

SECTION 17. Severability. If any provision hereof is invalid and unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of Lender in order to carry out the intentions of the parties hereto as nearly as may be possible; and (b) the invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed under seal by their duly authorized officers, all as of the day and year first written above.

This Note may be prepaid only with the prior written consent of Holder. All payments of cash hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America, without offset.

Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note: (i) Debtor shall fail to pay any principal, interest or other amount due hereunder when due, or Debtor shall in any way fail to comply with the other terms, covenants or conditions contained in this Note and such failure continues for a period of five (5) days; (ii) any written representation or warranty made at any time by Debtor to Holder in this Note or in any other document delivered in connection therewith shall prove to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made; (iii) an event of default shall occur under any other material document, instrument, contract or agreement now or hereafter entered into by Debtor and Holder; (iv) Debtor shall (a) commence a voluntary case under the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended, or other federal bankruptcy law hereafter in effect (collectively “Bankruptcy Laws”), (b) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due or (c) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (vi) a case or other proceeding shall be commenced against Debtor in any court of competent jurisdiction seeking (a) relief under the Bankruptcy Laws and such case is not dismissed within ninety (90) days or (b) the appointment of a trustee, receiver, custodian, liquidator or the like for Debtor or all or any substantial part of the assets of Debtor.
