Convertible Bridge Notes. On April 20, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “2018 Note Agreement”) with certain investors (the “April 2018 Investors”), pursuant to which the Company would issue up to approximately $3,296,703 in Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes along with warrants (the “Transaction”). The number of warrants are equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes based on the conversion price at the time of issuance. Half of the warrants will have a one-year term and half will have a five-year term. The 2018 Note Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and customary closing conditions. The Transaction consists of a series of unregistered Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Bridge Notes”), bearing interest at a rate of 8% annually and an original issue discount of 9%. The Bridge Notes are convertible at a price of $7.50 per share, provided that if the notes are not repaid within 180 days of the note’s issuance date, the conversion price shall be adjusted to 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price during the prior 10 days, subject to a minimum conversion price of $4.50 per share. The Transaction consisted of a number of drawdowns. The initial closing on April 20, 2018 provided the Company with proceeds of $1,660,000, net of an original issue discount of 9% and before debt issuance costs, for the issuance of notes with an aggregate principal of $1,824,176 (the “April 2018 Bridge Notes”). The Company completed three additional drawdowns for aggregate proceeds of $1.3 million, net of an original issue discount of 9% and before debt issuance cost, for the issuance of notes with an aggregate principal of $1.5 million (the “Q3 2018 Bridge Notes”). The Bridge Notes are payable by the Company on the earlier of (i) the one year anniversary after each closing date or (ii) upon the closing of a qualified offering, namely the Company raising gross proceeds of at least $7,000,000 (the “Maturity Date”). At any time, provided that the Company gives 5 business days written notice, the Company has the right to redeem the outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Notes, including accrued but unpaid interest, all liquidated damages and all other amounts due under the Bridge Notes, for cash as follows: (i) an amount which is equal to the sum of 105% if the Company exercises its right to redeem the Bridge Notes within 90 days of the initial closing, (ii) 110% if the Company exercises its right to redeem the Bridge Notes within 180 days of the initial closing, or (iii) 115% if the Company exercises its right to redeem 180 days from the initial closing. The terms of the 2018 Note Agreement also stipulates that upon written demand by one of the April 2018 Investors, for any of their draws throughout the year associated with the 2018 Note Agreement after a period of time as defined within the 2018 Note Agreement, the Company shall file a registration statement within thirty (30) days after written demand covering the resale of all or such portion of the conversion shares for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The registration statement filed shall be on Form S‑3 or Form S‑1, at the option of the Company. If the Company does not file a registration statement in accordance with the terms of the 2018 Note Agreement, then on the business day following the applicable filing date and on each monthly anniversary of the business day following the applicable filing date (if no registration statement shall have been filed by the Company in accordance herewith by such date), the Company shall pay to the April 2018 Investors an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages, equal to 1% per month (pro-rata for partial months) based upon the gross purchase price of the Bridge Notes (calculated on a daily basis) under the 2018 Note Agreement. As requested by certain April 2018 investors, conversion shares related to the April 2018 Note Agreement were included in a registration statement on Form S-3 that the Company filed with the SEC on February 6, 2019 and which became effective with the SEC on February 13, 2019. The obligations under the Bridge Notes are secured, subject to certain exceptions and other permitted payments by a perfected security interest on the assets of the Company. The 9% discount associated with the April 2018 Bridge Notes was approximately $164,000 and was recorded as a debt discount. The Company also incurred legal and advisory fees associated with the April 2018 Bridge Notes of approximately $164,000 and these were recorded as debt issuance costs. The 9% discount associated with the Q3 2018 Bridge Notes was approximately $133,000 and was recorded as a debt discount. As part of the initial closing, the April 2018 Investors received 243,223 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company (the “April 2018 Warrants”). The April 2018 Warrants had an initial value of approximately $1.1 million at the date of issuance and were recorded as a liability with an offset to debt discount. The April 2018 Investors received 196,337 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company in connection with the Q3 Bridge Note issuances (the “Q3 2018 Warrants”). The terms of the Q3 2018 Warrants are the same as the April 2018 Warrants and, as such, were classified as liabilities, with an offset to debt discount, and had an initial value of approximately $0.7 million at the date of issuance. See Note 9 –Fair Value for further discussion. On September 20, 2018, immediately after the final drawdown of the Bridge Notes, the Company entered into an agreement with the April 2018 Investors whereby the exercise price of all warrants issued to the April 2018 Investors in connection with both the 2018 Note Agreement and the Q3 2018 Bridge Notes were amended from $11.25 to $7.50. This repricing was accounted for as a modification. Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated as of April 20, 2018 (the “Letter Agreement”), the Company engaged a registered broker dealer as a financial advisor (the “Financial Advisor”). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company paid the Financial Advisor a fee of $116,000, approximately 7% of the proceeds from the sale of the April 2018 Bridge Notes. This is included in the debt issuance costs discussed above. Per the Letter Agreement, the Company also issued to the Financial Advisor 15,466 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $11.25 (the “Advisor Warrants”) which were classified as a liability. See Note 9 –Fair Value for further discussion. The April 2018 Bridge Notes contained a beneficial conversion feature valued at $1.1 million which was recorded as a debt discount with an offset to additional paid in capital at the note issuance date and the Q3 2018 Bridge Notes contained beneficial conversion features valued at approximately $0.5 million which were recorded as debt discounts with an offset to additional paid in capital at the note issuance dates. The Company reviewed the redemption features of the Bridge Notes and determined that there is a redemption feature (the “Bridge Notes Redemption Feature”) that qualifies as an embedded derivative. For the April 2018 Bridge Notes, the Company determined the initial fair value of the derivative at the time of issuance to be approximately $0.1 million which was recorded as a debt discount with an offset to derivative liability. For the Q3 2018 Bridge Notes, the Company determined the initial fair value of the derivatives at the time of issuance to be less than $0.1 million which was recorded as a debt discount with an offset to derivative liability. See Note 9 –Fair Value for further discussion. On November 29, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) amending and restating the terms of the 2018 Note Agreement. The Amendment Agreement provided for the issuance of up to $1,318,681 of additional Bridge Notes together with applicable warrants, in one or more tranches, with substantially the same terms and conditions as the previously issued Bridge Notes and related warrants. The conversion price of the notes was amended so that it shall be equal to the greater of $3.75 or $0.75 above the closing bid price of our common stock on the date prior to the original issue date. In the event the notes are not paid in full prior to 180 days after the original issue date, the conversion price shall be equal to 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) in the 10 trading days prior to the date of the notice of conversion, but in no event below the floor price of $2.25. In connection with the Amendment Agreement, during the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company completed two additional closings for aggregate proceeds of $1.1 million, net of an original issue discount of 9% and before debt issuance costs, for the issuance of notes with an aggregate principal of $1.2 million (collectively, the “Q4 2018 Bridge Notes”). Approximately $0.3 million of the $1.1 million of proceeds was received after December 31, 2018 and is included in other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018. The 9% discount associated with the Q4 2018 Bridge Notes was approximately $108,000 and was recorded as a debt discount. In connection with the Q4 2018 Bridge Note issuances, the Company issued to the investors 300,114 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company (the “Q4 2018 Warrants”), which had an initial value of approximately $0.7 million at the date of issuance and were recorded as a liability with an offset to debt discount. See Note 9 – Fair Value for further discussion. The Company reviewed the conversion option of the Q4 2018 Bridge Notes and determined that there was a beneficial conversion feature with a value of approximately $0.5 million which was recorded as a debt discount with an offset to additional paid in capital. The Q4 2018 Bridge Notes also contain the Bridge Notes Redemption Feature which had an initial fair value at the time of issuance of approximately $15,000 which was recorded as a debt discount with an offset to derivative liability. See Note 9 – Fair Value for further discussion. The total debt discounts and debt issuance costs related to the Q4 2018 Bridge Notes totaled $1.4 million, of which the Company recorded $1.1 million of debt discount and debt issuance costs as a reduction of the related debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. At the time of the Amendment Agreement, the conversion price related to $3.3 million of previously issued Bridge Notes, the April 2018 Bridge Notes and Q3 2018 Bridge Notes, was amended and treated as an extinguishment of the related Bridge Notes. The Company removed the carrying value of the notes and recorded a new fair value of the notes (“New Debt”) which included a debt premium of $0.9 million at the time of the Amendment Agreement. Since the issuance of the New Debt, $2.3 million of the total $4.5 million of Bridge Notes, plus interest, have been converted into a total of 1,112,762 shares of common stock of the Company. This included the conversion of approximately $2.1 million of Bridge Notes, plus interest, converted into 1,019,430 shares of common stock of the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and $0.2 million of Bridge Notes, plus interest, converted into 93,333 shares of common stock of the Company during the fourth quarter of 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the change in Bridge Note debt discounts and debt premiums was as follows:

| (2) |  | Write-offs associated with note conversions are recognized as an offset to additional paid-in capital at the time of the conversion.
The remaining debt discounts of $1.1 million and debt premiums of $0.1 million, as of March 31, 2019, are expected to be fully amortized during 2019. Convertible Promissory Notes – Exchange Notes. In 2017, the Company entered into Debt Settlement Agreements (the “Settlement Agreements”) with certain of its accounts payable and accrued liability vendors (the “Creditors”) pursuant to which the Creditors, who were owed $6.3 million (the “Debt Obligations”) by the Company, agreed to reduce and exchange the Debt Obligations for a secured obligation in the amount of $3.2 million, $1.9 million in shares of the Company’s common stock and 7,207 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (“Creditor Warrants”). During 2018, the Company entered into Exchange Agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with three institutional investors (the “Holders”) pursuant to which the Company issued or shall issue convertible promissory notes, due January 1, 2021 (the “Exchange Notes”) in exchange (the “Exchange”) for amounts owed to the Holders pursuant to certain debt settlement agreements, dated October 31, 2017. At the time of the Exchange Agreements, $3.2 million of Secured Debt Obligations were exchanged for $2.8 million of Exchange Notes (the “Exchange Notes”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Notes, the Company shall pay to the Holders the aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Notes in eighteen equal installments beginning on August 1, 2019 and ending on January 1, 2021. The Company reviewed the Conversion Option and concluded that it meets the criteria for derivative accounting and requires bifurcation and separate accounting as a derivative. The Company determined the initial fair value of the derivative at the time of issuance to be approximately $0.4 million which was recorded as a debt discount with an offset to derivative liability. See Note 9 –Fair Value for further discussion. The Company reviewed the Company Put Option and concluded that it meets the criteria for derivative accounting and requires bifurcation and separate accounting as a derivative. The Company determined the initial fair value of the derivative at the time of issuance to be immaterial. Since the issuance of the Exchange Notes, the Holders have converted all $2.8 million into a total of 446,913 shares of common stock of the Company. This included the conversion of approximately $0.6 million of Exchange Notes converted into 155,351 shares of common stock of the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and approximately $2.2 million of Exchange Notes converted into 291,562 shares of common stock of the Company during the fourth quarter of 2018. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the outstanding balance of the Exchange Notes, net of discounts, was zero and $0.6 million, respectively, and was presented within convertible notes in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the change in Exchange Note debt discounts was as follows:
(Dollars in thousands) |  |  | 2019
Beginning balance at January 1 |  | $ | 83

As a result of the conversions, the Company has also written off approximately $0.4 million of derivative liability with an offset to additional paid-in capital, of which less than $0.1 million was during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Convertible Promissory Notes – Crede Note. On January 15, 2019, the Company and Crede Capital Group LLC (“Crede”) entered into an amendment and restatement agreement (the “Crede Amendment Agreement”) in order to enable the Company to provide Crede with an alternative means of payment of a previous settlement amount, See Note 5 – Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities, by issuing to Crede a convertible note in the amount of $1.45 million (the “Crede Note”). The conversion price of the Crede Note shall equal 90% of the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on the date prior to each conversion date. The Crede Note is payable by the Company on the earlier of (i) January 15, 2021 or (ii) upon the closing of a qualified offering in which the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $4.0 million. The Crede Note may not be converted if, after giving effect to the conversion, Crede together with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company, at its option, may redeem some or all of the then outstanding principal amount of the Crede Note for cash. In accordance with the terms of the Crede Amendment Agreement, during the period commencing on the date of issuance of the Crede Note and ending on the date Crede no longer beneficially owns any portion of the Crede Note, Crede shall not sell, on any given trading day, more than the greater of (i) $10,000 of common stock (subject to adjustment for any stock splits or combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar event after the date hereof) and (ii) 10% of the daily average composite trading volume of the Company’s common stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP (subject to adjustment for any stock splits or combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar event after the date hereof) for such trading day. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company made no payments on, and there were no conversions of, the Crede Note. Convertible Promissory Notes – Leviston Note On February 8, 2018, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “2018 Purchase Agreement”) with Leviston Resources LLC (“Leviston”), see Note 8 – Stockholders Equity for details of the 2018 Purchase Agreement. On January 29, 2019, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the “Leviston Settlement”) with Leviston pursuant to which the Company issued to Leviston a convertible note in the amount of $0.7 million (the “Leviston Note”) in full satisfaction of certain obligations to Leviston. The Leviston Note is payable by the Company (i) in fourteen equal monthly installments commencing on the earlier to occur of (x) the last day of the month upon which a registration statement to be filed by the Company covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the Leviston Note is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and (y) the six month anniversary of the date of issuance, (ii) upon the closing of a qualified offering, namely the Company raising gross proceeds of at least $4.0 million or (iii) such earlier date as the Leviston Note is required or permitted to be repaid pursuant to its terms. The Company, at its option, may redeem some or the entire then outstanding principal amount of the Leviston Note for cash. The conversion price in effect on any conversion date shall equal the VWAP of the common stock on such Conversion Date. The Leviston Note may not be converted if, after giving effect to the conversion, Leviston together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. In accordance with the terms of the Leviston Settlement, during the period commencing on the issuance date of the Leviston Note and ending on the date Leviston no longer beneficially owns any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Leviston Note, Leviston shall not sell, on any given trading day, more than the greater of (i) $10,000 of common stock (subject to adjustment for any stock splits or combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar event after the date hereof) and (ii) 10% of the daily average composite trading volume of the Company’s common stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP (subject to adjustment for any stock splits or combinations, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar event after the date hereof) for such trading day. In addition to the Leviston Settlement and the Leviston Note, the Company and Leviston have each executed a release pursuant to which each of the Company and Leviston agreed to release the other party from their respective obligations arising from or concerning the Obligations. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company made cash payments of less than $0.1 million on the Leviston Note and $0.2 million of the Leviston note was converted into 73,333 shares of common stock of the Company. As of March 31, 2019, the $0.5 million outstanding balance of the Leviston Note was included in convertible notes in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. There were no amounts outstanding related to this note as of December 31, 2018.
