Convertible Promissory Note

On August 27, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Oasis Capital, LLC (“Oasis Capital”) further to which Oasis Capital purchased a senior secured convertible note (the “Oasis Note”), with an interest rate of 6% per annum, having a face value of $5,265,000 for a total purchase price of $5,000,000, secured by an all assets of the Company.

Oasis Capital is not permitted to submit conversion notices in any thirty day period having conversion amounts equaling, in the aggregate, in excess of $500,000. If the Oasis Conversion Price set forth in any conversion notice is less than

$3.00 per share, the Company, at its sole option, may elect to pay the applicable conversion amount in cash rather than issue shares of its common stock.

Venture Debt

In March 2017, the Company entered into a senior credit agreement with an outside lender for up to $4,000,000, dependent upon the achievement of certain milestones. The initial close amount was a minimum of $1,345,000. The loan bears interest at 12.5% per annum, compounded monthly, plus fees. A 5% closing fee is due upon each closing, legal and accounting fees of up to $40,000, and management fees of $4,167-$5,000 per month. The loan requires monthly payments of interest commencing March 31, 2017, and a balloon payment for the full principal amount at the pre-amended maturity date in June 2021. In March 2021, the Company and its senior credit facility agreed to extend the maturity date of the credit agreement to December 31, 2022, with certain payments due as follows. If the Company consummates a follow on public offering on or before July 31, 2021, the Company is required to make a $3,000,000 payment on the loan within five business days after such public offering. In addition, if the Company consummates an additional follow-on offering thereafter on or before September 30, 2021, the Company is required to make another $3,000,000 payment on the loan within five business days after such public offering. If the Company does not consummate the initial follow on offering or, if the Company does but does not consummate the aforementioned second follow-on offering by September 30, 2021, the Company is required to make a $300,000 payment on the loan by September 30, 2021. While the Company has current plans to conduct a follow-on offering prior to July 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, the Company may effect such an offering if market conditions are favorable for such an offering and should the representative agree to waive the standstill provision set forth herein. There is no assurance that even if market conditions are favorable that the representative will waive the standstill provision. In such a case the Company anticipates to make any required payments under its senior credit facility from cash generated from operations. The Company’s credit agreement contains negative covenants that, subject to significant exceptions, limit its ability, among other things to make restricted payments, pledge assets as security, make investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions, or undergo other fundamental changes. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the credit facility and permit the lender to cease making loans to the Company. If for whatever reason the Company has insufficient liquidity to make scheduled payments under the Company’s credit facility or to repay such indebtedness by the schedule maturity date, the Company would seek the consent of the Company’s senior lender to modify such terms. Although the Company’s senior lender has previously agreed to seven prior modifications of the Company’s credit agreement, there is no assurance that the senior lender will agree to any such modification and could then declare an event of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the credit agreement, the lender could elect to declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be immediately due and payable. The Company has pledged all of its assets as collateral under the Company’s credit facility. If the lender accelerates the repayment of borrowings, the Company may not have sufficient assets to repay them and the Company could experience a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

Repayment is accelerated upon a change in control, as defined in the agreement. The loan is senior to all other debts and obligations of the Company, is collateralized by all assets of the Company, and shares of the Company’s common stock pledged by officers of the Company. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the gross loan balance is $6,001,755 and $4,542,544, resulting from

cash disbursed to the Company and considerations for outstanding interest of $1,459,211 and, $508,249 including loan fees of $60,000 and $34,296, charged to the loan balance, respectively. The Company failed to comply with certain debt covenants during the year ended December 31, 2020. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the venture debt is shown as a current liability.

The lender was also granted warrants to purchase common stock representing 1% of the fully diluted capitalization of the Company for each $1,000,000 of principal loaned under the agreement, which was increased to 1.358% during 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company granted 493,462 common stock warrants, to the lender with an exercise price of $2.50 per share and a ten-year contractual life. During 2019, the Company granted 128,667 common stock warrants to the lender with an exercise price of $2.50 per share and a ten-year contractual life. As discussed in Note 10, during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, warrants associated with the venture debt were valued at $184,191 and $49,928, respectively. The relative fair value of the warrants was initially recorded as a discount to the note, which is amortized over its term.

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, $241,878 and $149,948 of these loan fees and discounts from warrants were amortized to interest expense, leaving unamortized balances of $147,389 and $225,720 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Unamortized balances are expected to be amortized through December 2022, the maturity date of the loan.

Interest expense and effective interest rate on this loan for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $770,277 and $624,127, and 14.6% and 17.7%, all respectively.

If, after the lock-up period, the price of the common stock is less than 50% of the IPO price, the Company shall issue additional shares to the holder as if the IPO price had been the closing price as of the day after the lock-up period. As the debt is not currently convertible and ultimate number of shares is not known, it is not included in dilutive share counts. As of December 31, 2020, issuance costs totaled $100,000 all of which remain unamoritzed as the related debts were received near year end. In addition, the Company issued 512 warrants to purchase common stock in connection with the notes.
