Convertible Promissory Note with Carebourn Capital, L.P.
On January 29, 2018, we
sold Carebourn Capital, L.P. (“
Carebourn
”) a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $92,000
(the “
January 2018 Carebourn Convertible Note
”), pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January
22, 2018. The January 2018 Carebourn Convertible Note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum and is due and payable on January
29, 2019. The January 2018 Carebourn Convertible Note had an original issue discount of $12,000. In addition, we paid $5,000 of
Carebourn’s expenses and attorney fees in connection with the sale of the note, which were included in the principal amount
of the note.
Periodic payments are due
by us on the January 2018 Carebourn Convertible Note at the rate of $250 per day (the “
Repayment Amount
”), via
direct withdrawal from our bank account, beginning on March 1, 2018. The Repayment Amount automatically adjusts to a prorated higher
amount in the amount any penalties or events of default occur under the January 2018 Carebourn Convertible Note.
The January 2018 Carebourn
Convertible Note provides for standard and customary events of default such as failing to timely make payments under the January
2018 Carebourn Convertible Note when due, the failure of the Company to timely comply with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, reporting requirements and the failure to maintain a listing on the OTC Markets. Additionally, upon the occurrence
of certain defaults, as described in the January 2018 Carebourn Convertible Note, we are required to pay Carebourn liquidated damages
in addition to the amount owed under the January 2018 Carebourn Convertible Note.
The
principal amount of the January 2018 Carebourn Convertible Note and all accrued interest thereon is convertible at the option of
the holder thereof into our common stock at any time following the 90th day after the January 2018 Carebourn Convertible Note was
issued. The conversion price of the January 2018 Carebourn Convertible Note is equal to 58% of the lowest price quoted on the OTC
Markets for the Company’s common stock during the twenty five trading days prior to the conversion date. Additionally, in
the event our shares are not deliverable via DWAC following conversion an additional 10% discount is added to the conversion discount
of the note and in the event we fail to meet certain other requirements of the note, an additional 5% discount is added to the
conversion discount of the note.
In the event we fail to
deliver the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the note within three business days of our receipt of a conversion
notice, we are required to pay Carebourn $2,000 per day for each day that we fail to deliver such shares.
At no time may the January
2018 Carebourn Convertible Note be converted into shares of our common stock if such conversion would result in Carebourn and its
affiliates owning an aggregate of in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock.
We may prepay in full the
unpaid principal and interest on the January 2018 Carebourn Convertible Note, with at least 20 trading days’ notice, (a)
any time prior to the 180th day after the issuance date, by paying 130% of the principal amount of the note together with accrued
interest thereon; and (b) any time after the 180th day after the issuance date and prior to the 364
th
day after
issuance, by paying 150% of the principal amount of the note together with accrued interest thereon.
The January 2018 Carebourn
Convertible Note also contains customary positive and negative covenants.
In the event we receive
any third party offer to provide us funding while the note is outstanding we are required to offer Carebourn a right of first refusal
to provide such funding on the terms offered by the third party. We also agreed that if we provide any financing source more favorable
term(s) than Carebourn under the note while the note is outstanding that the Carebourn note would, at the option of Carebourn,
be amended to include such more favorable term(s).
We hope to repay the January
2018 Carebourn Convertible Note prior to any conversion. In the event that the January 2018 Carebourn Convertible Note is not repaid
in cash in its entirety, Company shareholders may suffer significant dilution if and to the extent that the balance of the January
2018 Carebourn Convertible Note is converted into common stock.

January 2018 Carebourn Convertible Note and Subscription Agreement above is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the
full text of the January 2018 Carebourn Convertible Note and Subscription Agreement, filed herewith as
