CONVERTIBLE DEBT
NOTE 11 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT	November 15, 2017 Securities Purchase Agreement On November 15, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with institutional investors (the “Buyers”), pursuant to which the Company issued on November 16, 2017 for a purchase price of $3,000,000, $3,350,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Convertible Notes (the “Existing Notes”) to the Buyers, convertible into approximately 670,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at $5.00 per share and five-year warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 536,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $7.50 per share. The Notes contained an original issue discount of $350,000. Of the $3,000,000 purchase price, $240,000 went directly to financing costs (see below) and $74,000 went directly to legal fees such that the Company received net proceeds of $2,686,000. On February 20, 2018, the Company entered into two separate Amendment and Exchange Agreements (“Exchange Agreements”) with the Buyers for new senior convertible notes (“New Notes”) in exchange for existing notes. Each New Note is identical in all material respects to the Existing Note, except that (i) the New Note was not convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) until April 20, 2018; (ii) all future cash installment payments under such New Note will be made at a redemption price equal to 112% of the applicable installment amount; (iii) the Company’s existing obligation to initially deliver pre-delivery shares of its common stock to the holder of such New Note was deferred until April 20, 2018; and (iv) at any time on or before June 20, 2018, the Company had the right, at its option, to redeem all, or any part, of the amounts then outstanding under such New Note in cash at a redemption price equal to 125% of such amounts then outstanding under such New Note. The Company will repay the principal amount of the Notes in equal monthly installments beginning on January 1, 2018 and repeating on the first business day of each calendar month thereafter until the fourteenth (14th) month anniversary date of issue. On September 26, 2018, the Company entered into a second amendment which extended the maturity dates of the notes to February 1, 2019. On April 24, 2018, 670,001 pre-delivery shares were issued. On January 7, 2019 and February 5, 2019, 465,625 and 108,417 pre-delivery shares, respectively, were cancelled upon full payment of both notes. Eighty-five (85%) percent of any cash proceeds received by the holders of the Notes from the sale of pre-delivery shares issued as collateral shall be applied against the particular installment amount then due. The Notes are senior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness except Permitted Indebtedness which includes $12 million of senior secured indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries under the above described Synthesis loan agreements, plus a defined amount of purchase money indebtedness in connection with bona fide acquisitions. The Company evaluated the debt modification in accordance with ASC 470-50 and concluded that the debt qualified for debt extinguishment as the 10% cash flow test was met. As a result, the Existing Notes were written off and the New Notes were recorded at fair value as of February 20, 2018. The Company wrote off the remaining principal balance of $2,871,429 of the Existing Notes along with the remaining $2,596,838 of debt discounts related to the Existing Notes of which $1,140,711 was a reduction to additional paid-in-capital representing the intrinsic value of the existing beneficial conversion feature. The Company recorded the New Notes in the amount of $3,216,000 and a total debt discount of $3,216,000 in relation to the intrinsic value of the new beneficial conversion feature of $2,880,000 and an original issue discount of $336,000. This resulted in a net loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $1,464,698 and additional net equity related to the beneficial conversion feature of $1,739,289. The New Notes were not convertible until April 18, 2018 pursuant to the February 20, 2018 amendment. Beginning April 20, 2018, the Holder may convert the New Notes into shares of Common Stock at the rate of $5.00 per share. In the event of an issuance of Common Stock for a consideration less than the Conversion Price (other than Excluded Securities, as defined) the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the price of the dilutive issuance, (the “Conversion Price”). Upon an Event of Default (as defined), the Buyers may convert at an alternative conversion price equal to the lower of the then applicable Conversion Price or seventy-five (75%) percent of the Volume-Weighted Average Price (as defined, the “VWAP”). The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature of the Existing Notes at intrinsic value and recorded $1,140,711 to debt discount, of which $405,743 was amortized through February 19, 2018. On February 20, 2018, the remaining debt discount was written off and the Company recorded a new debt discount as discussed above. The Warrants have a five-year term and are exercisable into 536,000 shares of Common Stock beginning May 16, 2018, which was six months after the issue date. The Warrants are exercisable at $7.50 per share subject to full ratchet anti-dilution protection. As of September 30, 2019, there were no anti-dilution trigger events. The Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis if a registration statement is not effective covering the resale of the underlying Warrant Shares. The Company calculated the warrants at relative fair value of $1,545,288, which was recognized as a discount to the Existing Notes of which $347,418 was amortized as interest expense through February 19, 2018. On February 20, 2018, the remaining balance was reversed due to the Exchange Agreement as discussed above. Conversion of the New Notes were and exercise of the Warrants are subject to a blocker provision which prevents any holder from converting or exercising, as applicable, the New Notes or the Warrants, into shares of Common Stock if its beneficial ownership of the Common Stock would exceed 4.99% (subject to adjustment not to exceed 9.99%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock (each, a “Blocker”). The Company filed, within thirty (30) days of the Closing, a registration statement covering one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the maximum number of shares, underlying the New Notes and Warrants pursuant to a registration rights agreement with the Buyers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The Post-Effective Amendment to the registration statement (No. 333-222061) was declared effective on May 14, 2018. As a condition to the closing of the Financing, each Buyer, severally, was required to execute a leak-out agreement (each, a “Leak-Out Agreement”) restricting such Buyer’s sale of shares of Common Stock underlying the New Notes and Warrants on any Trading Day to not more than such Buyer’s pro rata allocation of the greater of (x) sales with net proceeds of an aggregate of $20,000 or (y) twenty-five (25%) percent of the daily average trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock. If after the closing of the Financing there is no Event of Default under the New Notes, the VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock for three (3) trading days is less than $1.50 per share, the Company may further restrict the Buyers from selling at less than $1.50 per share; provided that the portion of the New Notes subject to redemption on each Installment Date shall thereafter double. On November 15, 2017, in connection with the $3,350,000 Securities Purchase Agreement, Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”), as the Company’s exclusive placement agent, received a cash commission for the transaction equal to eight (8%) percent of the total gross proceeds of the offering, or $240,000 and the issuance of five-year warrants to purchase eight (8%) percent of the shares of common stock issued or issuable in this offering (excluding shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of any warrants issued to investors), or 53,600 shares; and, will receive eight (8%) percent of any cash proceeds received from the exercise of any warrants sold in the offering with an expiration equal to or less than twenty-four (24) months. The warrants are exercisable six months after the issue date or May 16, 2018 and were valued at a fair value of $386,003 which was fully expensed during the year ended December 31, 2017. The $240,000 cash commission was recorded as debt discount and was amortized over the term of the New Notes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company repaid the remaining principal balance in the amount of $103,611, such that the remaining outstanding principal balance of the New Notes as of September 30, 2019 is zero. As a result of the final payment of the New Notes, the remaining debt discount of $45,614 was amortized during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. September 4, 2018 Securities Purchase Agreement On September 4, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with two institutional investors (the “Buyers”) pursuant to which the Company issued for a purchase price of $2,000,000, $2,233,333 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Convertible Notes (the “September 2018 Notes”) to the Buyers, convertible into 372,223 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share at $6.00 per share (with the exception of the conversion related to the Third Exchange Agreement described below), and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 357,334 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $7.50 per share (the “Warrants”). The Notes contained an original issue discount of $233,332. Of the $2,000,000 purchase price, $140,000 went directly to financing costs (see below) and $15,000 went directly to legal fees such that the Company received net proceeds of $1,845,000. The September 2018 Notes provided that the Company will repay the principal amount of Notes in equal monthly installments including a 5% installment fee, which is recorded as interest expense, beginning on November 1, 2018 and repeating on the first business day of each calendar month thereafter until May 1, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company has recorded $13,097 in installment fees. The Notes were convertible at any time by the Holder into shares of Common Stock at the rate of $6.00 per share (with the exception of the conversion pursuant to the Third Exchange Agreement described below), subject to full ratchet anti-dilution adjustment (the “Conversion Price”). According to the original terms of the agreement, the Company was to pre-deliver up to 372,222 shares of common stock to the Buyers. Eighty-five percent (85%) of any cash proceeds received by the Buyers from the sale of the Pre-Delivery Shares would then be applied against the particular installment amount due on such Installment Date under the Note. The Company had three months to deliver the Pre-Delivery shares, however the debt was repaid prior to the opportunity to deliver those shares. The Registration Statement (No. 333-227813) covering 150% of the number of shares underlying the Notes and warrants was declared effective on November 1, 2018. Upon an Event of Default (regardless of whether such event has been cured), the Buyers may convert at an alternative conversion price equal to the lower of the then applicable Conversion Price or seventy-five (75%) percent of the then Volume-Weighted Average Price (as defined, the “VWAP”). The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature of the Existing Notes at intrinsic value and recorded $934,922 to debt discount, which will be amortized over the life of the Notes. The Warrants are exercisable into 357,334 shares of Common Stock equal to eighty (80%) percent of the number of shares of common stock the Buyers would receive if the Notes were fully converted (at an assumed price of $5.00 per share) upon the date of issuance of the Notes. The Warrants are exercisable at $7.50 per share for a five-year term commencing March 4, 2019 subject to full ratchet anti-dilution protection. The Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis if a registration statement is not effective covering the resale of the underlying Warrant Shares. The Company calculated the warrants at relative fair value of $910,078, which was recognized as a discount to the Notes and is being amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of the Notes. Conversion of the Notes were and exercise of the Warrants are each subject to a blocker provision which prevents any holder from converting or exercising, as applicable, the Notes or the Warrants, into shares of common stock if its beneficial ownership of the common stock would exceed 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (a “Blocker”). As a condition to the closing of the Financing, each Buyer executed a leak-out agreement which replaced the leak-out agreements entered into in November 2017 (each, a “Leak-Out Agreement”) restricting such Buyer’s sale of shares of common stock underlying the Notes and Warrants on any trading day to not more than such Buyer’s pro rata allocation of the greater of (x) sales with net proceeds of an aggregate of $20,000 or (y) twenty-five (25%) percent of the daily average trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock. If after the closing of the Financing the VWAP of the Company’s common stock for three (3) trading days is less than $1.50 per share, the Company may further restrict the Buyers from selling at less than $1.50 per share; provided that the portion of the Notes subject to redemption on each Installment Date shall thereafter double. Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”), as the Company’s exclusive placement agent, received a cash commission for this transaction equal to seven (7%) percent of the total gross proceeds of the offering, or $140,000, and the issuance of five-year warrants to purchase seven (7%) percent of the shares of common stock issued or issuable in this offering (excluding shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Warrants issued to investors), or 26,056 shares; and will receive seven (7%) percent of any cash proceeds received from the exercise of any Warrants sold in the offering with an expiration equal to or less than twenty-four (24) months. The warrants are exercisable six months after the issue date or March 4, 2019, at $6.00 per share and were valued at a fair value of $157,969 which was fully expensed during the year ended December 31, 2018. The $140,000 cash commission was recorded as debt discount and was be amortized over the term of the Notes. During the year ended December 31, 2018, there were principal conversions in the amount of $1,333,333 at a conversion price of $3.478 pursuant to the Third Exchange Agreement and the Company repaid principal of $638,095, such that the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Notes as of December 31, 2018 was $261,903. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company repaid the remaining principal balance in the amount of $261,902, such that the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Notes as of September 30, 2019 is zero.

As a result of the final payment of the Notes, the remaining debt discount of $184,100 was amortized during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Securities Purchase Agreement executed on May 15, 2019 On May 15, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor (the “Buyer”). Upon the closing of this financing, on May 17, 2019, the Company issued for a purchase price of $1,500,000 in principal amount a Senior Convertible Note (the “May 2019 Note”) to the Buyer. The May 2019 Note provides that the Company will repay the principal amount of the May 2019 Note on the ten (10) month anniversary date of the date of issue. Interest at the rate of nineteen (19%) percent per annum shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month. The May 2019 Note is convertible at any time by the Holder into 250,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share at the rate of $6.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Conversion Price”). Upon an Event of Default (regardless of whether such event has been cured), the Buyer may convert at an alternative conversion price equal to the lower of the then applicable Conversion Price or seventy-five (75%) percent of the then Volume-Weighted Average Price (as defined, the “VWAP”). The Company considered the need for the conversion feature to be bifurcated under ASC 815 and determined that it does not meet the requirements. Additionally, the Company determined the effective conversion rate under ASC 470-20 and determined that the instrument is out of the money and no beneficial conversion feature was recorded. The May 2019 Note is senior in right of payment to all other existing and future indebtedness of the Company except Permitted Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the May 2019 Note), including $12 million of senior secured indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries under an existing senior loan agreement, plus defined amounts of purchase money indebtedness in connection with bona fide acquisitions.

The Buyer may also require redemption of the May 2019 Note upon a Change of Control (as defined) at a premium of one hundred twenty-five (125%) percent. The Company has the right to redeem the May 2019 Note at any time, in whole or in part, in cash at a price equal to 120% of the then outstanding conversion amount. Conversion of the May 2019 Note is subject to a blocker provision which prevents any holder from converting the May 2019 Note into shares of common stock if its beneficial ownership of the common stock would exceed 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had a principal balance $1,500,000 on the May 2019 Note and the Company had accrued $25,334 in interest expense. Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”), as the Company’s exclusive placement agent, received a cash commission for this transaction equal to six (6%) percent of the total gross proceeds of the offering. This 6% fee or $90,000 was recorded as debt discount along with the $30,000 in legal fees associated with the May 2019 Note. These fees will be amortized over the term of the note. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company has recorded amortization of $54,295.

November 15, 2017 Securities Purchase Agreement

On November 15, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with institutional investors (the “Buyers”), pursuant to which the Company issued on November 16, 2017 for a purchase price of $3,000,000, $3,350,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Convertible Notes (the “Existing Notes”) to the Buyers, convertible into approximately 670,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at $5.00 per share and five-year warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 536,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $7.50 per share. The Notes contained an original issue discount of $350,000. Of the $3,000,000 purchase price, $240,000 went directly to financing costs (see below) and $74,000 went directly to legal fees such that the Company received net proceeds of $2,686,000.

On February 20, 2018, the Company entered into two separate Amendment and Exchange Agreements (“Exchange Agreements”) with the Buyers for new senior convertible notes (“New Notes”) in exchange for existing notes. Each New Note is identical in all material respects to the Existing Note, except that (i) the New Note was not convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) until April 20, 2018; (ii) all future cash installment payments under such New Note will be made at a redemption price equal to 112% of the applicable installment amount; (iii) the Company’s existing obligation to initially deliver pre-delivery shares of its common stock to the holder of such New Note was deferred until April 20, 2018; and (iv) at any time on or before June 20, 2018, the Company had the right, at its option, to redeem all, or any part, of the amounts then outstanding under such New Note in cash at a redemption price equal to 125% of such amounts then outstanding under such New Note. The Company will repay the principal amount of the Notes in equal monthly installments beginning on January 1, 2018 and repeating on the first business day of each calendar month thereafter until the fourteenth (14th) month anniversary date of issue. On September 26, 2018, the Company entered into a second amendment which extended the maturity dates of the notes to February 1, 2019. On April 24, 2018, 670,001 pre-delivery shares were issued. On January 7, 2019 and February 5, 2019, 465,625 and 108,417 pre-delivery shares, respectively, were cancelled upon full payment of both notes. Eighty-five (85%) percent of any cash proceeds received by the holders of the Notes from the sale of pre-delivery shares issued as collateral shall be applied against the particular installment amount then due. The Notes are senior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness except Permitted Indebtedness which includes $12 million of senior secured indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries under the above described Synthesis loan agreements, plus a defined amount of purchase money indebtedness in connection with bona fide acquisitions. The Company evaluated the debt modification in accordance with ASC 470-50 and concluded that the debt qualified for debt extinguishment as the 10% cash flow test was met. As a result, the Existing Notes were written off and the New Notes were recorded at fair value as of February 20, 2018. The Company wrote off the remaining principal balance of $2,871,429 of the Existing Notes along with the remaining $2,596,838 of debt discounts related to the Existing Notes of which $1,140,711 was a reduction to additional paid-in-capital representing the intrinsic value of the existing beneficial conversion feature. The Company recorded the New Notes in the amount of $3,216,000 and a total debt discount of $3,216,000 in relation to the intrinsic value of the new beneficial conversion feature of $2,880,000 and an original issue discount of $336,000. This resulted in a net loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $1,464,698 and additional net equity related to the beneficial conversion feature of $1,739,289.

The New Notes were not convertible until April 18, 2018 pursuant to the February 20, 2018 amendment. Beginning April 20, 2018, the Holder may convert the New Notes into shares of Common Stock at the rate of $5.00 per share. In the event of an issuance of Common Stock for a consideration less than the Conversion Price (other than Excluded Securities, as defined) the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the price of the dilutive issuance, (the “Conversion Price”). Upon an Event of Default (as defined), the Buyers may convert at an alternative conversion price equal to the lower of the then applicable Conversion Price or seventy-five (75%) percent of the Volume-Weighted Average Price (as defined, the “VWAP”). The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature of the Existing Notes at intrinsic value and recorded $1,140,711 to debt discount, of which $405,743 was amortized through February 19, 2018. On February 20, 2018, the remaining debt discount was written off and the Company recorded a new debt discount as discussed above.

The Warrants have a five-year term and are exercisable into 536,000 shares of Common Stock beginning May 16, 2018, which was six months after the issue date. The Warrants are exercisable at $7.50 per share subject to full ratchet anti-dilution protection. As of September 30, 2019, there were no anti-dilution trigger events. The Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis if a registration statement is not effective covering the resale of the underlying Warrant Shares. The Company calculated the warrants at relative fair value of $1,545,288, which was recognized as a discount to the Existing Notes of which $347,418 was amortized as interest expense through February 19, 2018. On February 20, 2018, the remaining balance was reversed due to the Exchange Agreement as discussed above.

Conversion of the New Notes were and exercise of the Warrants are subject to a blocker provision which prevents any holder from converting or exercising, as applicable, the New Notes or the Warrants, into shares of Common Stock if its beneficial ownership of the Common Stock would exceed 4.99% (subject to adjustment not to exceed 9.99%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock (each, a “Blocker”).

The Company filed, within thirty (30) days of the Closing, a registration statement covering one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the maximum number of shares, underlying the New Notes and Warrants pursuant to a registration rights agreement with the Buyers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The Post-Effective Amendment to the registration statement (No. 333-222061) was declared effective on May 14, 2018.

As a condition to the closing of the Financing, each Buyer, severally, was required to execute a leak-out agreement (each, a “Leak-Out Agreement”) restricting such Buyer’s sale of shares of Common Stock underlying the New Notes and Warrants on any Trading Day to not more than such Buyer’s pro rata allocation of the greater of (x) sales with net proceeds of an aggregate of $20,000 or (y) twenty-five (25%) percent of the daily average trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock. If after the closing of the Financing there is no Event of Default under the New Notes, the VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock for three (3) trading days is less than $1.50 per share, the Company may further restrict the Buyers from selling at less than $1.50 per share; provided that the portion of the New Notes subject to redemption on each Installment Date shall thereafter double.

On November 15, 2017, in connection with the $3,350,000 Securities Purchase Agreement, Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”), as the Company’s exclusive placement agent, received a cash commission for the transaction equal to eight (8%) percent of the total gross proceeds of the offering, or $240,000 and the issuance of five-year warrants to purchase eight (8%) percent of the shares of common stock issued or issuable in this offering (excluding shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of any warrants issued to investors), or 53,600 shares; and, will receive eight (8%) percent of any cash proceeds received from the exercise of any warrants sold in the offering with an expiration equal to or less than twenty-four (24) months. The warrants are exercisable six months after the issue date or May 16, 2018 and were valued at a fair value of $386,003 which was fully expensed during the year ended December 31, 2017. The $240,000 cash commission was recorded as debt discount and was amortized over the term of the New Notes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company repaid the remaining principal balance in the amount of $103,611, such that the remaining outstanding principal balance of the New Notes as of September 30, 2019 is zero.

As a result of the final payment of the New Notes, the remaining debt discount of $45,614 was amortized during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

September 4, 2018 Securities Purchase Agreement

On September 4, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with two institutional investors (the “Buyers”) pursuant to which the Company issued for a purchase price of $2,000,000, $2,233,333 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Convertible Notes (the “September 2018 Notes”) to the Buyers, convertible into 372,223 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share at $6.00 per share (with the exception of the conversion related to the Third Exchange Agreement described below), and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 357,334 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $7.50 per share (the “Warrants”). The Notes contained an original issue discount of $233,332. Of the $2,000,000 purchase price, $140,000 went directly to financing costs (see below) and $15,000 went directly to legal fees such that the Company received net proceeds of $1,845,000.

The September 2018 Notes provided that the Company will repay the principal amount of Notes in equal monthly installments including a 5% installment fee, which is recorded as interest expense, beginning on November 1, 2018 and repeating on the first business day of each calendar month thereafter until May 1, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company has recorded $13,097 in installment fees.

The Notes were convertible at any time by the Holder into shares of Common Stock at the rate of $6.00 per share (with the exception of the conversion pursuant to the Third Exchange Agreement described below), subject to full ratchet anti-dilution adjustment (the “Conversion Price”). According to the original terms of the agreement, the Company was to pre-deliver up to 372,222 shares of common stock to the Buyers. Eighty-five percent (85%) of any cash proceeds received by the Buyers from the sale of the Pre-Delivery Shares would then be applied against the particular installment amount due on such Installment Date under the Note. The Company had three months to deliver the Pre-Delivery shares, however the debt was repaid prior to the opportunity to deliver those shares. The Registration Statement (No. 333-227813) covering 150% of the number of shares underlying the Notes and warrants was declared effective on November 1, 2018. Upon an Event of Default (regardless of whether such event has been cured), the Buyers may convert at an alternative conversion price equal to the lower of the then applicable Conversion Price or seventy-five (75%) percent of the then Volume-Weighted Average Price (as defined, the “VWAP”). The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature of the Existing Notes at intrinsic value and recorded $934,922 to debt discount, which will be amortized over the life of the Notes.

The Warrants are exercisable into 357,334 shares of Common Stock equal to eighty (80%) percent of the number of shares of common stock the Buyers would receive if the Notes were fully converted (at an assumed price of $5.00 per share) upon the date of issuance of the Notes.

Securities Purchase Agreement executed on May 15, 2019

On May 15, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor (the “Buyer”). Upon the closing of this financing, on May 17, 2019, the Company issued for a purchase price of $1,500,000 in principal amount a Senior Convertible Note (the “May 2019 Note”) to the Buyer.

The May 2019 Note provides that the Company will repay the principal amount of the May 2019 Note on the ten (10) month anniversary date of the date of issue. Interest at the rate of nineteen (19%) percent per annum shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month.

Upon an Event of Default (regardless of whether such event has been cured), the Buyer may convert at an alternative conversion price equal to the lower of the then applicable Conversion Price or seventy-five (75%) percent of the then Volume-Weighted Average Price (as defined, the “VWAP”). The Company considered the need for the conversion feature to be bifurcated under ASC 815 and determined that it does not meet the requirements. Additionally, the Company determined the effective conversion rate under ASC 470-20 and determined that the instrument is out of the money and no beneficial conversion feature was recorded.

The May 2019 Note includes customary Events of Default and provides that the Buyer may require the Company to redeem (regardless of whether the Event of Default has been cured) all or a portion of the Note at a redemption premium of one hundred twenty-five (125%) percent, multiplied by the greater of the conversion rate and the then current market price. The Buyer may also require redemption of the May 2019 Note upon a Change of Control (as defined) at a premium of one hundred twenty-five (125%) percent. The Company has the right to redeem the May 2019 Note at any time, in whole or in part, in cash at a price equal to 120% of the then outstanding conversion amount.

Conversion of the May 2019 Note is subject to a blocker provision which prevents any holder from converting the May 2019 Note into shares of common stock if its beneficial ownership of the common stock would exceed 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had a principal balance $1,500,000 on the May 2019 Note and the Company had accrued $25,334 in interest expense.
