(a)      On January 28, 2019, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (the “January 2019 SPAs”) with three investors (the “January 2019 Investors”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the January 2019 Investors 12% unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “January 2019 Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $337,500, with such principal and the interest thereon convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at the January 2019 Investors’ option. Although the January 2019 SPAs are dated January 28, 2019 (the “January 2019 Effective Date”), they became effective upon the receipt in cash of the issue price by the January 2019 Investors.

The amounts of $102,500, $100,000, and $100,000, totaling $302,500, represented the proceeds to the Company, net of transaction-related expenses, for the January 2019 Notes from the January 2019 Investors and were received in cash from February 1 through February 4, 2019.

The maturity date of each of the January 2019 Notes is January 28, 2020 (the “January 2019 Maturity Dates”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum (the “January 2019 Interest Rate”), which interest shall be paid by the Company to the January 2019 Investors in Common Stock at any time the January 2019 Investors send a notice of conversion to the Company. The January 2019 Investors are entitled to, at their option, convert all or any amount of the principal face amount and any accrued but unpaid interest of the January 2019 Notes into Common Stock, at any time, at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to 65% multiplied by the lowest trading price (as defined in the January 2019 Notes) of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTC Marketplace exchange upon which the Company’s shares are traded during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding (i) the January 2019 Effective Date; or (ii) the conversion date.

The January 2019 Notes may be prepaid until 180 days from the January 2019 Effective Date with the following penalties: (i) if the January 2019 Notes are prepaid within sixty (60) days following the January 2019 Effective Date, then the prepayment premium shall be 125% of the face amount plus any accrued interest; (ii) if the January 2019 Notes are prepaid during the period beginning on the date which is sixty-one (61) days following the January 2019 Effective Date, and ending on the date which is ninety (90) days following the January 2019 Effective Date, then the prepayment premium shall be 135% of the face amount plus any accrued interest; (iii) if the January 2019 Notes are prepaid during the period beginning on the date which is ninety-one (91) days following the January 2019 Effective Date, and ending on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the January 2019 Effective Date, then the prepayment premium shall be 145% of the face amount plus any accrued interest. Such prepayment redemptions must be closed and funded within three days of giving notice of prepayment or the right to prepay shall be forfeited.

The Company has reserved a minimum of eight (8) times the number of its authorized and unissued Common Stock (the “January 2019 Reserved Amounts”), free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of the January 2019 Notes. Upon full conversion of the January 2019 Notes, any shares remaining in such reserve shall be cancelled. The Company increases the January 2019 Reserved Amount in accordance with the Company’s obligations under the January 2019 Notes.

Pursuant to the terms of the January 2019 SPAs, for so long as the Investors own any shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the January 2019 Notes (the “January 2019 Conversion Shares”), the Company has covenanted to secure and maintain the listing of such shares of Common Stock. The Company is also subject to certain customary negative covenants under the January 2019 Notes and the January 2019 SPAs, including but not limited to the requirement to maintain its corporate existence and assets, subject to certain exceptions, and not to make any offers or sales of any security under circumstances that would require registration of or stockholder approval for the January 2019 Notes or the January 2019 Conversion Shares.

The January 2019 Notes also contain certain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default including if the Company is delinquent in its periodic report filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and increases in the amount of the principal and interest rates under the January 2019 Notes in the event of such defaults. In the event of default, at the option of the January 2019 Investors and in the January 2019 Investors’ sole discretion, the January 2019 Investors may consider the January 2019 Notes immediately due and payable.

(b)        On March 7 and March 8, 2019, the Company entered into two securities purchase agreements (the “March 2019 SPAs”) with two investors (the “March 2019 Investors”) pursuant to which the Company issued to each March 2019 Investor two 12% unsecured convertible promissory notes comprised of the first notes (the “First Notes”) being in the amount of $275,000 each, and the remaining notes in the amount of $275,000 each (the “Back-End Notes,” and, together with the First Notes, the “March 2019 Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,100,000, with such principal and the interest thereon convertible into Common Stock at the March 2019 Investors’ option. Each First Note contains a $25,000 Original Issue Discount such that the issue price of each First Note was $250,000. The proceeds on the issuance of the First Notes were received from the March 2019 Investors upon the signing of the March 2019 SPAs.

The proceeds on the issuance of the Back-End Notes were initially received by the issuance of two offsetting $250,000 secured notes to the Company by the March 2019 Investors (the “Buyer Notes”), provided that prior to conversion of the Back-End Notes, the March 2019 Investors must have paid back the Back-End Notes in cash.

Although the March 2019 SPAs are dated March 7, 2019 or March 8, 2019 (each, a “March 2019 Effective Date”), they became effective upon the receipt in cash of the issue price by the March 2019 Investors. On March 11, 2019, the Company received cash of $456,000, net of transaction-related expenses, for the First Notes from the March 2019 Investors.

The maturity dates of the March 2019 Investor Notes are March 7, 2020 or March 8, 2020. The March 2019 Investor Notes bear interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum (the “March 2019 Interest Rate”), which interest shall be paid by the Company to the March 2019 Investors in Common Stock at any time the March 2019 Investors send a notice of conversion to the Company. The March 2019 Investors are entitled to, at their option, convert all or any amount of the principal face amount and any accrued but unpaid interest of the March 2019 Investor Notes into Common Stock, at any time, at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to 65% multiplied by the lowest trading price (as defined in the Notes) of the Common Stock as reported on the National Quotations Bureau OTC Marketplace exchange upon which the Company’s shares are traded during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding (i) the applicable March 2019 Effective Date; or (ii) the conversion date.

The March 2019 Investor Notes may be prepaid until 180 days from the applicable March 2019 Effective Date with the following penalties: (i) if the March 2019 Investor Notes are prepaid within sixty (60) days following the applicable March 2019 Effective Date, then the prepayment premium shall be 125% of the face amount plus any accrued interest; (ii) if the March 2019 Investor Notes are prepaid during the period beginning on the date which is sixty-one (61) days following the applicable March 2019 Effective Date, and ending on the date which is ninety (90) days following the applicable March 2019 Effective Date, then the prepayment premium shall be 135% of the face amount plus any accrued interest; (iii) if the March 2019 Investor Notes are prepaid during the period beginning on the date which is ninety-one (91) days following the applicable March 2019 Effective Date, and ending on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the applicable March 2019 Effective Date, then the prepayment premium shall be 145% of the face amount plus any accrued interest. Such prepayment redemptions must be closed and funded within three days of giving notice of prepayment or the right to prepay shall be forfeited.

The Company reserved a minimum of eight (8) times the number of its authorized and unissued Common Stock (the “March 2019 Reserved Amounts”), free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of the March 2019 Investor Notes. Upon full conversion of the March 2019 Investor Notes, any shares remaining in such reserve shall be cancelled. The Company increases the March 2019 Reserved Amount in accordance with the Company’s obligations under the March 2019 Investor Notes.

Pursuant to the terms of the March 2019 SPAs, for so long as the March 2019 Investors own any shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the March 2019 Investor Notes (the “March 2019 Conversion Shares”), the Company has covenanted to secure and maintain the listing of such shares of Common Stock. The Company is also subject to certain customary negative covenants under the March 2019 Investor Notes and the March 2019 SPAs, including but not limited to the requirement to maintain its corporate existence and assets, subject to certain exceptions, and not to make any offers or sales of any security under circumstances that would require registration of or stockholder approval for the March 2019 Investor Notes or the March 2019 Conversion Shares.

The March 2019 Investor Notes contain certain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default including if the Company is delinquent in its periodic report filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission which would increase the amount of the principal and interest rates under the Notes in the event of such defaults. In the event of default, at the option of the March 2019 Investors and in the March 2019 Investors’ sole discretion, the March 2019 Investors may consider the March 2019 Investor Notes immediately due and payable.

During the three-month period ending March 31, 2019, the Company accrued interest of $11,039 (2018-$nil) on the outstanding promissory notes.
