Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014


 
1.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Company Overview
 
Boston Therapeutics, Inc., headquartered in Manchester, NH, (OTC: BTHE) is a leader in the field of complex carbohydrate chemistry. The Company's initial product pipeline is focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic molecules for diabetes: BTI-320, a non-systemic, non-toxic, therapeutic compound designed to reduce post-meal glucose elevation, SUGARDOWN®, a dietary supplement designed to reduce post-meal sugar spikes and IPOXYN, a continuous intravenous drug for the prevention of necrosis and treatment of ischemia with an initial target indication of lower limb ischemia often associated with diabetes.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has limited resources and operating history. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $12.7 million and $220,000 cash on hand as of March 31, 2015. In March 2015, the Company entered into four different convertible promissory note agreements with aggregate proceeds of $432,000, net of original issuance discounts and fees.  Management anticipates that the Company’s cash resources will be sufficient to fund its planned operations into June 2015 as a result of additional cost cutting measures surrounding the use of consultants and payroll associated costs reduced by the Company during fiscal 2014 and the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its new business opportunities.  

Management is currently seeking additional capital through private placements and public offerings of its stock.  In addition, the Company may seek to raise additional capital through public or private debt or equity financings in order to fund its operations.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives.  Without such additional capital, the Company may be required to cease operations.
 
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue operations.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements for its year ended December 31, 2014 included in its Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2015. In the opinion of management, the statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary in order to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2015 and the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
 
The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results disclosed in the statements of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Inventory
 
Inventory consists of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods of SUGARDOWN®. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, not in excess of net realizable value. The Company adjusts the carrying value of its inventory for excess and obsolete inventory. The Company continues to monitor the valuation of its inventory.

1.             SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable is stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances.  Management establishes a reserve for doubtful accounts based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts.  Balances that remain outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off against the allowance.  There were no allowances for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  At March 31, 2015 the Company had one customer that accounted for 100% of its accounts receivable.  At December 31, 2014, there were no accounts receivable.  The Company believes there is minimal risk associated with this receivable. 
  
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company generates revenues from sales of SUGARDOWN®. Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, the product is shipped in accordance with the customers’ Free On Board (FOB) shipping point terms and collectability is reasonably assured.  In practice, the Company has not experienced or granted significant returns of product. Shipping fees charged to customers are included in revenue and shipping costs are included in costs of sales.
 
As disclosed in Note 5 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements, Advance Pharmaceutical Company Ltd., a related party, accounted for 68% and 97% of the Company’s revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company is required to disclose information on all assets and liabilities reported at fair value that enables an assessment of the inputs used in determining the reported fair values. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), establishes a hierarchy of inputs used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy applies only to the valuation inputs used in determining the reported fair value of the investments and is not a measure of the investment credit quality. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 
Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
 
Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
 
Level 3—Valuations that require inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their respective carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include its warrant liabilities and certain convertible note derivative liabilities (see Notes 3 and 9).

Deferred Financing Costs

Financing costs incurred in connection with the Company’s convertible notes as disclosed in Note 3 were recorded as a direct reduction from the carrying value of the debt as in accordance with the early adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2015-03 “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” as discussed in further detail below. The amortization of deferred financing fees excluding the original issuance discounts as discussed in Note 3 was $1,023 and $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
 
Derivative Liabilities
 
The Company assessed the classification of its derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2015, which consist of certain put option features embedded in its convertible debt instruments, and a warrant associated with one of these contvertible debt instruments, and determined that such derivatives meet the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging .
 
ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate certain embedded features from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded feature is not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded feature and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded feature would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule in the case of embedded conversion features in convertible debt instruments which are considered to be conventional, as defined.
 
All derivatives are recorded as assets or liabilities at fair value, and the changes in fair value are immediately included in earnings, as the derivatives had not been formally designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company’s derivative financial instruments include bifurcated embedded derivatives and a warrant liability that were identified within the Convertible Notes (see Notes 3 and 9).

Stock-Based Compensation
 
Stock–based compensation, including grants of employee and non-employee stock options and modifications to existing stock options, is recognized in the income statement based on the estimated fair value of the awards . The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted and recognizes the compensation cost of share-based awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award.
 
The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards utilizing the Black-Scholes model is affected by the stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The Company has a limited history of market prices of the common stock as, and as such volatility is estimated using historical volatilities of similar public entities. The expected life of the awards is estimated based on the simplified method. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the terms of our awards. The dividend yield assumption is based on history and expectation of paying no dividends. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the financial statements on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
 
The Company grants stock options to non-employee consultants from time to time in exchange for services performed for the Company. Equity instruments granted to non-employees are subject to periodic revaluation over their vesting terms. In general, the options vest over the contractual period of the respective consulting arrangement and, therefore, the Company revalues the options periodically and records additional compensation expense related to these options over the remaining vesting period.
 
Loss per Share
 
Basic net loss per share is computed based on the net loss for the period divided by the weighted average actual shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed based on the net loss for the period divided by the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period unless the effect of such common equivalent shares would be anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of certain outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method.  The weighted average number of common shares for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 did not include 8,192,400 and 13,404,634 options and warrants, respectively, because of their anti-dilutive effect. The weighted average number of common shares for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 did not include 6,822,120 and 12,391,669 options and warrants, respectively, because of their anti-dilutive effect.
 
Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2015-03 “ Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ,” which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts or premiums.  The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company elected early adoption of this standard during the period ended March 31, 2015, which did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Topic 605, Revenue Recognition” and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective retrospectively for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application not permitted. In April 2015, the FASB voted to propose deferring the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date.  The FASB also proposed permitting early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
 
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ASU 2014-15, “ Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern” . The new standard addresses management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  It requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of the Company ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures.  The standard will be effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.

3.           CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

In March 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Typenex Co-Investment, LLC, (“Typenex”).  Pursuant to this agreement, the Company issued to Typenex a convertible promissory note (“Typenex Note”) in the principal amount of $225,000 with an original issue discount of $20,000 plus additional financing fees of $5,000 and a five year warrant to purchase 979,965 shares of the Company’s common stock at at an exercise price of $0.30 per share, exercisable at date of issuance.  Interest on the Typenex Note accrues at the rate of 10% per annum.  The Typenex note is to be repaid in six equal monthly installments in cash or in shares of common stock at the Company’s option (the “Conversion Shares”) plus any unpaid interest beginning September 17, 2015 until the maturity date in February 2016.  The conversion price for determining the number of Conversion Shares in respect of any installment for which the Company elects to pay in shares of common stock will be the lesser of (i) $0.30 or (ii) 70% (subject to adjustment) of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion.  The Company can repay the Typenex Note before maturity, at its option, by paying the lender an amount equal to 125% of the then outstanding principal amount.   Amounts outstanding under the Typenex Note are convertible into the Company’s common stock, in whole or in part, at any time,  at the option of the lender, with an initial conversion price of $0.30 per share. The initial conversion price for lender conversions is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, including “full ratchet” anti-dilution protection upon the issuance of any common stock, securities convertible into common stock, or certain other issuances at a price below the then-existing conversion price, with certain exceptions. The initial conversion price for lender conversions is also subject to adjustment should the aggregate market value of the Company’s common stock fall below $5 million dollars, in which case the conversion price would become the lesser of (i) $0.30 per share or (ii) 70% (subject to adjustment) of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. If the Company fails to pay any of the installments including interest due under the Typenex Note when due, or if other events of default thereunder should occur, a default interest rate of 22% per annum will apply and the lender, at their option may require the Company to repay, at 115%, all amounts that are outstanding plus 5% for each additional event of default. The Company assessed the features of the Typenex Note and warrant and determined that the warrant is required to be accounted for as a liability due to "full ratchet" protection and the lender’s put option feature, which becomes exercisable upon an event of default, including but not limited to, failure to pay, insolvency, change of control, delisting of the Company’s stock or failure to comply with the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, is a derivative that requires bifurcation.  The Company recorded the fair value of the warrant of $146,995 (Note 9) as a discount to the carrying value of the Typenex Note and as a liability.  The Company recorded the fair value of the put options derivative of $1,900 (Note 9) as a discount to the carrying value of the Typenex Note and accounted for it separately as a liability.  Finally, the Company assessed the conversion feature of the Typenex Note and recorded an initial beneficial conversion feature of $26,303 as a discount on the note and a component of additional paid in capital.   The original issuance discount, financing fees, warrant issuance, bifurcated derivative and beneficial conversion feature result in an aggregate initial discount of $200,198 on the Typenex Note.  The discount will be accreted through the note’s maturity.  For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded $2,753 of non-cash interest associated with the accretion of the Typenex Note discount.
 
In March 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with JDF Capital, Inc., (“JDF”).  Pursuant to this agreement, the Company issued to JDF a convertible promissory note ("JDF Note") in the principal amount of $110,000 with an original issue discount of $10,000 and financing fees of $6,000.  Interest accrues at the rate of 10% per annum and is due at maturity of the note in March 2016.  The Company can repay the outstanding principal balance of the JDF Note during the first 180 days following issuance, at its option,  by paying the lender an amount equal to 130% during the first 60 days following the issuance, 140% from 61 days to 120 days following the issuance and 150% from 121 days to 180 days following the issuance. At any time on or after June 12, 2015, amounts outstanding under the JDF Note are convertible into the Company’s common stock, in whole or in part, at the option of the lender, with an initial conversion price of a 40% discount to the lower of (i) the lowest reported sales price of the common stock during the 20 trading day period immediately prior to the date of conversion or (ii) the lowest reported sales price during the 20 days trading period immediately prior to issuance of the JDF Note.  The initial conversion price for lender conversions is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, including “full ratchet” anti-dilution protection upon the issuance of any common stock, securities convertible into common stock, or certain other issuances at a price below the then-existing conversion price, with certain exceptions.  If the Company fails to repay the JDF Note when due, or if other events of default thereunder should occur, a default interest rate of 15% per annum will apply and the lender, at their option, may require the Company to repay, at 120%, all amounts that are outstanding. The Company assessed the features of the JDF Note and determined that the lender’s put option feature, which becomes exercisable upon an event of default, major transaction or triggering event, including but not limited to, failure to pay, insolvency, change of control, delisting of the Company’s stock or failure to comply with the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act,  is a derivative that requires bifurcation. The Company recorded the fair value of the put option and redemption feature derivative of $200 (Note 9) as a discount to the carrying value of the JDF Note and accounted for it separately as a liability.  The Company also assessed the conversion feature of the JDF Note and recorded an initial beneficial conversion feature of $93,800 as a discount on the note and a component of additional paid in capital.   The original issuance discount, financing fees, bifurcated derivative and beneficial conversion feature result in an aggregate initial discount of $110,000 on the JDF Note.  The discount will be accreted through the note’s maturity.  For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded $5,805 of non-cash interest associated with the accretion of the JDF Note discount.

3.           CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE  - continued
 
In March 2015, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note agreement with JMJ Financial (“JMJ”) with a total potential principal amount of $500,000 with a $50,000 original issue discount ("JMJ Note").  At their discretion, JMJ may fund to the Company any portion of the $500,000, net of the original issue discount ratably applied.  On March 18, 2015, the Company borrowed $83,333 of the principal amount, subject to the original issue discount of $8,333, for net proceeds of $75,000.  Borrowings under the JMJ Note are due two years from the date funded.  The Company may repay amounts borrowed under the JMJ Note within 90 days of funding without interest.  Amounts not repaid within 90 days of funding bear a one-time interest charge of 12%.  Amounts outstanding under the JMJ Note are convertible into the Company’s common stock, in whole or in part, at any time,  at the option of the lender, with an initial conversion price of a 40% discount (subject to adjustment) to the lowest trade price of the common stock during the 20 trading day period immediately prior to the date of conversion.  If the Company fails to repay amounts due under the JMJ Note when due, or if other events of default thereunder should occur, a default interest rate of 18% per annum will apply and the lender, at their option, may require the Company to repay, at 150%, all amounts that are outstanding. The Company assessed the features of the JMJ Note and determined that the lender’s put option feature, which becomes exercisable upon an event of default, including but not limited to, failure to pay, insolvency or failure to comply with the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act,  is a derivative that requires bifurcation . The Company recorded the fair value of the put option derivative of $2,400 (Note 9) as a discount to the carrying value of the JMJ Note and accounted for it separately as a liability.  The original issuance discount, financing fees, and bifurcated derivative result in an aggregate initial discount of $18,233 on the JMJ Note.  The discount will be accreted through the note’s maturity.  For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded $291 of non-cash interest associated with the accretion of the JMJ Note discount.
 
In March 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Vis Vires Group (Vis Vires).  Pursuant to this agreement, the Company issued to Vis Vires a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $79,000 with financing fees of $8,500 ("Vis Vires Note").  Interest accrues at the rate of 8% per annum and is due upon maturity of the note in December 2015.  The Company can repay the outstanding principal balance of the Vis Vires Note, at its option,  by paying the lender an amount ranging from 110% during the 30 days following the issuance of the note up to 135% from 151 days to 180 days following the issuance of the Vis Vires Note. At any time on or after September 18, 2015, amounts outstanding under the note are convertible into the Company’s common stock, in whole or in part, at the option of the lender, with an initial conversion price of a 39% discount to the average of the lowest three reported closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 trading day period immediately prior to the date of conversion. The initial conversion price for lender conversions is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, including “full ratchet” anti-dilution protection upon the issuance of any common stock, securities convertible into common stock, or certain other issuances at a price below the then-existing conversion price, with certain exceptions.  If the Company fails to repay the Vis Vires Note when due, or if other events of default thereunder should occur, a default interest rate of 22% per annum will apply and the lender, at their option, may require the Company to pay, at 120%, all amounts that are outstanding. The Company assessed the features of the Vis Vires Note and determined that the lender’s put option feature, which becomes exercisable upon an event of default, including but not limited to, failure to pay, insolvency, change of control, delisting of the Company's stock, a financial statement restatement or failure to comply with the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, is a derivative that requires bifurcation . The Company recorded the fair value of the default put option derivative of $2,831 (Note 9) as a discount to the carrying value of the Vis Vires Note and accounted for it separately as a liability.  The financing fees and bifurcated derivative result in an aggregate initial discount of $11,331 on the Vis Vires Note.  The discount will be accreted through the note’s maturity.  For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded $626 of non-cash interest associated with the accretion of the Vis Vires Note discount.
 
Each of the convertible note agreements has a Conversion Delay feature that requires the Company to deliver shares upon conversion of the note within a defined period of time.  If the Company fails to deliver the shares within the defined period, the Company may be obligated to cash payments to the lender or reimburse the investor in cash for losses that the investor incurs as a result of not having access to the shares.  The Company assessed the provisions of the Conversion Delay feature as an embedded derivative and has concluded that the feature meets the definition of a derivative and is not clearly and closely related to the convertible note host agreements. The Conversion Delay feature has been bifurcated from the convertible notes and accounted for separately. The value of this feature was nominal as of the issuance date and March 31, 2015.

In March 2015, the Board of Directors approved a grant of non-qualified stock options to the independent directors of the Company to purchase an aggregate of 384,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.18. The options were allocated among the directors based on service in, and chairmanship of the Company’s committees and service as lead independent director.

6.             RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS - continued

In December 2013, the Board of Directors agreed to indemnify Dr. Platt for legal costs incurred in connection with an arbitration (now concluded) initiated before the American Arbitration Association by Galectin Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly named Pro-Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) for which Dr. Platt previously served as CEO and Chairman.  Galectin sought to rescind or reform the Separation Agreement entered into with Dr. Platt upon his resignation from Galectin to remove a $1.0 million milestone payment which Dr. Platt asserted he was entitled to receive and to be repaid all separation benefits paid to Dr. Platt.  The Company initially capped the amount for which it would indemnify Dr. Platt at $150,000 in December 2013 and Dr. Platt agreed to reimburse the indemnification amounts paid by the Company should he prevail in the arbitration.  The Board decided to indemnify Dr. Platt after considering a number of factors, including the scope of the Company’s existing indemnification obligations to officers and directors and the potential impact of the arbitration on the Company.  In May 2014, the Board approved a $50,000 increase in indemnification support, solely for the payment of outside legal expenses.  The Company recorded a total of $182,697 in costs associated with Dr. Platt’s indemnification, of which $119,401 was expensed in the year ended December 31, 2013 and of which $63,296 was expensed in the year ended December 31, 2014.  In July 2014, the arbitration was concluded in favor of Dr. Platt, confirming the effectiveness of the separation agreement and payment was made to Dr. Platt in July 2014.  

On March 2, 2015, the Board of Directors voted to reduce the amount that Dr. Platt was required to reimburse the Company to $82,355 and to offset this amount against interest accrued in respect of the outstanding note payable to Dr. Platt.  In addition, the Board determined that Dr. Platt would be charged interest related to the $182,697 indemnification payment since funds were received by Dr. Platt in July 2014.  The Board of Directors concluded the foregoing constituted complete satisfaction of Dr. Platt’s indemnification by the Company.  Accordingly, the Company has recorded the reduction in accrued interest through earnings during the interim period ended March 31, 2015.  As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $5,178 and $82,760, respectively, of accrued interest in connection with the related party promissory notes, had been included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the accompanying balance sheet.
 
On June 24, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive Licensing and Manufacturing Agreement (the "Agreement") with Advance Pharmaceutical Company Ltd. ("Advance Pharmaceutical"), a Hong Kong-based privately-held company.  Under terms of the Agreement, the Company manufactures and supplies product in bulk for Advance Pharmaceutical.  Advance Pharmaceutical is responsible for the packaging, marketing and distribution of SUGARDOWN® in China, Hong Kong and Macau.    In November 2014, The Company agreed to expand Advance Pharmaceutical’s territory to include 12 additional countries: Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines, Myanmar, Indonesia, Laos, Brunei and Cambodia. In March 2015, the agreement was expanded to include Japan as an additional territory.  Advance Pharmaceutical, through a wholly owned subsidiary, has purchased an aggregate 1,799,800 shares of the Company’s common stock in conjunction with the Company’s private placement offerings during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.   The shares were purchased on the same terms as the other participants acquiring shares in the respective offerings.   Conroy Chi-Heng Cheng is a director of Advance Pharmaceutical and joined the Company’s Board of Directors in December 2013.    Revenue generated pursuant to the Agreement for the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, were $34,906 and $42,600, respectively.  
 
On March 14, 2013, the Company issued 500,000 shares of its common stock at a price per share of $0.50 and issued a warrant to purchase 250,000 additional shares with an exercise price of $1.00 per share for gross proceeds of $250,000 to CJY Holdings Limited ("CJY"). The warrant is exercisable immediately and has a five year term. In July 2013 CJY Holdings Limited purchased 6,666,660 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,333,320 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000 in the private placement conducted by the Company between July 2013 and September 2013.  The warrants are exercisable immediately over a five year term with an exercise price of $0.50 per share.  CJY is an entity that is controlled by Cheng Chi Him, a brother of our Director, Conroy Chi-Heng Cheng.

9.           FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurments.  In March 2015, the Company entered into four separate convertible promissory note agreements and one warrant agreement (see Note 3).  The Company evaluated these notes and determined that certain put options embedded in the convertible debt instruments met the requirement for classification as derivative liabilties.  In addition, a warrant agreement associated with one of these convertible debt instruments included antidilution provisions that also require the warrant to be classified as a liability.  These liabilities were measured at fair value at issuance and remeasured on a recurring basis at March 31, 2015 with the change in fair value between those dates being included in earnings.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy:

Warrant Liability 
                               
 
On March 12, 2015, the Company entered into a warrant agreement on March 12, 2015 in conjunction with one of its convertible promissory note agreements as discussed in Note 3.  Due to the existence of an antidilution provision, which reduces the exercise price and conversion price in the event of subsequent dilutive issuances, the warrant was recorded as a liability in the balance sheet at its fair value of $146,995 at the date of issuance.  T he fair value of the warrant was revalued at March 31, 2015 at a fair value of $137,195. This fair value change of $9,800 and any changes in subsequent reporting periods, is reported in the statement of operations. The fair value of the warrant is measured using Monte Carlo Simulation modeling.  The assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation models used to estimate the fair value of the warrant liability upon issuance at March 12, 2015 and March 31, 2015 were:
 
    March 12, 2015      
March 31, 2015

Convertible Note Derivative Liability 
                               
 
The Company entered into four separate convertible note agreements in March 2015. The Company assessed the embedded features within these debt instruments and determined that certain put options were required to be separated from the notes and accounted for as derivative liabilities. The fair value of these embedded derivative liabilities were measured using a Probability-Weighted Expected Return Method (“PWERM”) valuation model. The assumptions used within the PWERM model as of issuance date and March 31, 2015 included management’s estimates surrounding probability that certain put options were to occur, projected time period in which the certain put options would likely occur, the put option premiums and penalties as previously discussed in Note 3 above and an estimated discount rate to determine present value of expected cash flows.

The fair value of the convertible note derivate liabilities were valued at an aggregate of $7,331 and $18,703 on date of issuance and March 31, 2015, respectively, of which $6,400 is considered non-current in the Company’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2015.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion and analysis is based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q .  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are often identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” or “continue,” and similar expressions or variations. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represent our views as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Report on Form 10-Q.     
 
Overview
 
Boston Therapeutics, Inc., headquartered in Manchester, NH, (OTC: BTHE) is a leader in the field of complex carbohydrate chemistry. The Company's initial product pipeline is focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic molecules for diabetes:  BTI-320 is a non-systemic, non-toxic, therapeutic compound designed to reduce post-meal glucose elevation, and IPOXYN, an injectable anti-necrosis drug specifically designed to treat lower limb ischemia associated with diabetes.  In addition, the Company has completed development of SUGARDOWN ® , a complex carbohydrate-based dietary supplement.  SUGARDOWN ® is currently in the initial stage of market introduction, and in June 2011, we entered into an agreement with Advance Pharmaceutical to develop markets in Hong Kong, China and Macau.  In November 2014, we agreed to expand this marketing agreement to include 12 additional countries:  Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines, Myanmar, Indonesia, Laos, Brunei and Cambodia.  In March 2015, we agreed to further expand their authorized territories to include Japan.  In May 2014, we entered into a strategic marketing agreement with Benchworks SD, LLC, a leading branding and marketing agency, aimed at dirving brand awareness and growing sales of SUGARDOWN ® among the large pre-diabetic population in North America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has limited resources and operating history. In March 2015, the Company entered into four different convertible promissory note agreements with aggregate proceeds of $432,000, net of original issuance discounts and fees.  Management anticipates that the Company’s cash resources will be sufficient to fund its planned operations into June 2015 as a result of additional cost cutting measures surrounding the use of consultants and payroll associated costs reduced by the Company during fiscal 2014 and the first quarter of fiscal 2015. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $12.7 million and $220,000 cash on hand as of March 31, 2015. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its new business opportunities.
 
Management is currently seeking additional capital through private placements and public offerings of its stock.  In addition, the Company may seek to raise additional capital through public or private debt or equity financings in order to fund our operations.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives.  Without such additional capital, the Company may be required to cease operations.
 
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue operations.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 compared to March 31, 2014
 
Revenue
 
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $51,329, an increase of $7,502 as compared to revenue of $43,827 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  The increase is primarily related to revenue generated through our marketing partnership with Benchworks.
 
Gross Margin
 
The Company generated gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $19,219 as compared to a gross margin deficit of $10,731 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  The increase is primarily related to a one-time material cost charge and higher fulfillment charges that resulted in a gross margin deficit for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Research and Development

Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $205,419, a decrease of $64,015 as compared to $269,434 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  Clinical trial and consulting expenses decreased approximately $124,000 primarily related to the  Phase IIb clinical trial for BTI-320 in patients with Type 2 diabetes conducted in the U.S. during the three months ended March 31, 2014 that concluded in September 2014.  This decrease was offset by a $38,000 increase in non-cash stock based compensation for stock options granted during 2014 to employees.  In addition, payroll and payroll related expenses increased $24,000 primarily related to one additional employee.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $32,751, a decrease of $139,984 as compared to $172,735 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Approximately $92,000 of the decrease is related to fees paid to a healthcare marketing company in the three months ended March 31, 2014, whose agreement was terminated subsequent to March 31, 2014.  In addition, trade show expense and associated travel expenses decreased approximately $23,000 due to the Company’s initiative to reduce expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2015.  Payroll and payroll related expenses also decreased approximately $21,000 due to the reduction of one employee.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $515,922, a decrease of $589,308 as compared to $1,105,230 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  Non-cash stock-based compensation expense decreased approximately $333,000 primarily due to fully vested options granted at a higher market price in the three months ended March 31, 2014 than those granted during the three months ended March 31, 2015.  Accounting, financial and legal professional fees decreased approximately $103,000 primarily related to a reduction in legal expenses associated with the indemnfiication of Dr. Platt’s legal fees in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and management’s cost reduction initiatives.  The Company’s cost reduction initiatives also resulted in a reduction of approximately $100,000 of consulting and professional services.   Payroll and payroll related expense decreased approximately $37,000 primarily due to the resignation of the Company’s former President in June 2014.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
As of March 31, 2015
 
As of March 31, 2015, we had cash of $220,318 and accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $681,098. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company used $368,960 of cash in operations

We have incurred recurring operating losses since inception as we have worked to bring our SUGARDOWN ® product to market and develop BTI-320 and IPOXYN.  We expect such operating losses will continue until such time that we receive substantial revenues from SUGARDOWN ® or we complete the regulatory and clinical development of BTI-320 or IPOXYN.   We anticipate that our cash resources will be sufficient to fund our planned operations into June 2015 as a result of continued cost cutting measures surrounding the use of consultants and payroll associated costs reduced by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2015.  We are currently seeking additional capital through private placements and public offerings of the Company’s stock. In addition, we may seek to raise additional capital through public or private debt or equity financings in order to fund our operations.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. Without such additional capital, we may be required to curtail or cease operations.
 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information requested by this item, as provided by Regulation S-K Item 305(e). 
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15-d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon the evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
 
The Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Arbitration Involving our CEO
 
On October 12, 2012, Dr. David Platt, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, commenced a lawsuit under the Massachusetts Wage Act against Dr. Traber and Thomas McGauley, who in their capacities as the Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer of Galectin Therapeutics Inc., or Galectin, respectively, can be held individually liable under the Wage Act for non-payment of wages. The lawsuit is based on the facts and issues raised in a previous arbitration proceeding between Dr. Platt and Galectin regarding payment of a $1.0 million separation payment under Dr. Platt’s separation agreement, and other unspecified “wages.” The statute provides that a successful claimant may be entitled to multiple damages, interest and attorney’s fees. On April 29, 2013, the Court allowed Dr. Traber’s and Mr. McGauley’s motion to dismiss. On May 28, 2013, Dr. Platt filed a Notice of Appeal to appeal the Court’s order allowing the defendants’ motion to dismiss, which was denied.
 
On March 29, 2013, Galectin instituted arbitration before the American Arbitration Association, seeking to rescind or reform the separation agreement. Galectin claimed that Dr. Platt fraudulently induced Galectin to enter into the Separation Agreement, breached his fiduciary duty to Galectin, and was unduly enriched from his conduct. Along with removal of the $1.0 million milestone payment under the separation agreement, Galectin was seeking repayment of all separation benefits paid to Dr. Platt to date. We indemnified Dr. Platt for $150,000 in legal fees and expenses in December 2013, and in May 2014, our board approved a $50,000 increase in its indemnification support, solely for the payment of outside legal expenses. We recorded a total of $182,697 in costs associated with Dr. Platt’s indemnification, of which $119,401 was recorded in the year ended December 31, 2013 and $63,296 was recorded in the year ended December 31, 2014.  In July 2014, the arbitration was concluded in favor of Dr. Platt, confirming the effectiveness of the separation agreement and payment was made to Dr. Platt in July 2014.  On March 2, 2015, our Board of Directors voted to rescind the requirement that Dr. Platt reimburse the Company the entire $182,697.  Our board determined that interest should be charged to Dr. Platt from the time he received the funds to the date of the meeting and that this amount would be offset against interest we owe Dr. Platt in conjunction with our note payable as referenced in Note 6 of the accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements.  The remaining amount would be considered settled in full by the Company.

n .             Dil u tion. Any shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued to the Purchaser in connection with any agreements between the parties hereto, in the event such shares are issued may have a dilutive effect on the ownership interests of the other shareholders (and Persons having the right to become shareholders) of the Company.  The Company’s executive officers and directors have studied and fully understand the nature of the Securities being sold hereby and recognize that they have such a potential dilutive effect.  The board of directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment, that such issuance is in the best interests of the Company.

(c)            C on v e r s i on   L i m it a t i ons ; H o l d e r ’s   R e s t r i c t i on   on   C o n v e r s i o n . The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates), as set forth on the applicable Conversion Notice, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, non-converted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other notes or the Warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.  To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder) and of which a portion of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder.  To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Conversion Notice that such Conversion Notice has not violated the restrictions set forth in this Section and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.  For purposes of this Section, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K (or such related form), as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Company’s Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The provisions of this Section may be waived by the Holder upon, at the election of the Holder, not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, and the provisions of this Section shall continue to apply until such 61st day (or such later date, as determined by the Holder, as may be specified in such notice of waiver).
 
Section 3.2                       C on v e r s i on P r i c e .  The term “ C on v e r s i on   P r i c e ” shall mean the lower of (i) 60% of the lowest reported sales price for the Common Stock for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the Issuance Date or (ii) 60% of the lowest reported sale price for the 20 days immediately prior to the Voluntary Conversion Date.
 
Section 3.3                       M e c h an i cs   o f   C on v e r s i o n .
 
(a)            Delivery of Common Stock .  Not later than 3 Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Company or its designated transfer agent, as applicable, shall issue and deliver to the Depository Trust Company (“ D T C ”) account on the Holder’s behalf via the Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission System (“ D WA C ”) as specified in the Conversion Notice, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled.  In the alternative, not later than 3 Trading Days after any Conversion Date, the Company shall deliver to the Holder by express courier a certificate or certificates which shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those required by Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of this Note (the “ D e l i v e r y D a t e ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Company or its transfer agent shall only be obligated to issue and deliver the shares to DTC on the Holder’s behalf via DWAC (or certificates free of restrictive legends) if such conversion is in connection with a sale and the Holder has complied with the applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws.  If in the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the Holder by the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall immediately return this Note if tendered for conversion, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that any amounts described in Sections 3.3(b) and (c) shall be payable through the date notice of rescission is given to the Company.

(b)            Penalty for Failure to Deliver Common Stock .  The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder.  If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such shares via DWAC or a certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 3.3(a) above by the Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, an amount per Trading Day for each Trading Day until such shares are delivered via DWAC or certificates are delivered, together with interest on such amount at a rate of 10% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full, equal to (i) 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Note requested to be converted for the first 5 Trading Days after the Delivery Date and (ii) 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the Note requested to be converted for each Trading Day thereafter.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw a Conversion Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Company shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages accrued in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) through the date the Conversion Notice is withdrawn.

(c)            Penalty in the Event of a Buy-In .  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause its transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note on or before the Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon full or partial conversion of this Note (a “ B u y -   I n ”), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the conversion at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Note and equivalent number of shares of Common Stock for which such conversion was not honored or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases 20,000 shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 (or $0.55 per share) to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000 (or $0.50 per share), under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000.  The Holder shall provide written notice to the Company indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company.  Nothing in this Note shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

If any such calculation results in adjustment of (i) the applicable Conversion Price or (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note, the determination of the applicable Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale, shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note.  In the event Common Stock is issued with other shares or securities and/or other assets of the Company for consideration, the consideration computed as provided in this Section 3.5(vii) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(d)            N o   I m pa ir m en t .  The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith, assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3.5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the Holder against impairment.  In the event the Holder shall elect to convert the Note as provided herein, the Company cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or any one associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, violation of an agreement to which the Holder is a party or for any reason whatsoever, unless an injunction from a court, or notice, restraining and or adjoining conversion of all or of part of the Note shall have issued and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in an amount equal to 130% of the amount of the Note the Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder in the event it obtains judgment.

If, at any time the Company does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 2.1 of this Note.

(i)            R e g u l a t o r y   C o m p li an c e .  If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of this Note or any interest accrued thereon require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

Exhibit 10.3
 
 
BTHE
 
  $500,000 CONVERTIBLE NOTE
 
Interest free if paid in full within 3 months
 
 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Boston Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer” of this Security) with at least 38,556,508 common shares issued and outstanding, issues this Security and promises to pay to JMJ Financial, a Nevada sole proprietorship, or its Assignees (the “Investor”) the Principal Sum along with the Interest Rate and any other fees according to the terms herein.  This Note will become effective only upon execution by both parties and delivery of the first payment of Consideration by the Investor (the “Effective Date”).

The Principal Sum is $500,000 (five hundred thousand) plus accrued and unpaid interest and any other fees.  The Consideration is $450,000 (four hundred fifty thousand) payable by wire (there exists a $50,000 original issue discount (the “OID”)).  The Investor shall pay $75,000 of Consideration upon closing of this Note.  The Investor may pay additional Consideration to the Issuer in such amounts and at such dates as the Investor may choose in its sole discretion.   THE PRINCIPAL SUM DUE TO THE INVESTOR SHALL BE PRORATED BASED ON THE CONSIDERATION ACTUALLY PAID BY INVESTOR (PLUS AN APPROXIMATE 10% ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT THAT IS PRORATED BASED ON THE CONSIDERATION ACTUALLY PAID BY THE INVESTOR AS WELL AS ANY OTHER INTEREST OR FEES) SUCH THAT THE ISSUER IS ONLY REQUIRED TO REPAY THE AMOUNT FUNDED AND THE ISSUER IS NOT REQUIRED TO REPAY ANY UNFUNDED PORTION OF THIS NOTE .  The Maturity Date is two years from the Effective Date of each payment (the “Maturity Date”) and is the date upon which the Principal Sum of this Note, as well as any unpaid interest and other fees, shall be due and payable.  The Conversion Price is 60% of the lowest trade price in the 20 trading days previous to the conversion (In the case that conversion shares are not deliverable by DWAC an additional 10% discount will apply; and if the shares are ineligible for deposit into the DTC system and only eligible for Xclearing deposit an additional 5% discount shall apply; in the case of both an additional cumulative 15% discount shall apply).  Unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties, at no time will the Investor convert any amount of the Note into common stock that would result in the Investor owning more than 4.99% of the common stock outstanding.

1.       ZERO Percent Interest for the First Three Months .  The Issuer may repay this Note at any time on or before 90 days from the Effective Date, after which the Issuer may not make further payments on this Note prior to the Maturity Date without written approval from the Investor.   If the Issuer repays a payment of Consideration on or before 90 days from the Effective Date of that payment, the Interest Rate on that payment of Consideration shall be ZERO PERCENT (0%). If the Issuer does not repay a payment of Consideration on or before 90 days from its Effective Date, a one-time Interest charge of 12% shall be applied to the Principal Sum.  Any interest payable is in addition to the OID, and that OID (or prorated OID, if applicable) remains payable regardless of time and manner of payment by the Issuer.

2.       Conversion . The Investor has the right, at any time after the Effective Date, at its election, to convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid Principal Sum and accrued interest (and any other fees) into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Issuer as per this conversion formula:  Number of shares receivable upon conversion equals the dollar conversion amount divided by the Conversion Price.  Conversions may be delivered to the Issuer by method of the Investor’s choice (including but not limited to email, facsimile, mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery), and all conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from the Investor.  If no objection is delivered from the Issuer to the Investor regarding any variable or calculation of the conversion notice within 24 hours of delivery of the conversion notice, the Issuer shall have been thereafter deemed to have irrevocably confirmed and irrevocably ratified such notice of conversion and waived any objection thereto.  The Issuer shall deliver the shares from any conversion to the Investor (in any name directed by the Investor) within 3 (three) business days of conversion notice delivery.

3.       Conversion Delays .  If the Issuer fails to deliver shares in accordance with the timeframe stated in Section 2, the Investor, at any time prior to selling all of those shares, may rescind any portion, in whole or in part, of that particular conversion attributable to the unsold shares and have the rescinded conversion amount returned to the Principal Sum with the rescinded conversion shares returned to the Issuer (under the Investor’s and the Issuer’s expectations that any returned conversion amounts will tack back to the original date of the Note).  In addition, for each conversion, in the event that shares are not delivered by the fourth business day (inclusive of the day of conversion), a penalty of $2,000 per day will be assessed for each day after the third business day (inclusive of the day of the conversion) until share delivery is made; and such penalty will be added to the Principal Sum of the Note (under the Investor’s and the Issuer’s expectations that any penalty amounts will tack back to the original date of the Note).

4.       Reservation of Shares .  At all times during which this Note is convertible, the Issuer will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note.  The Issuer will at all times reserve at least 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock for conversion.

5.       This Section 5 intentionally left blank

6.       This Section 6 Intentionally left blank

7.       Default .  The following are events of default under this Note: (i) the Issuer shall fail to pay any principal under the Note when due and payable (or payable by conversion) thereunder; or (ii) the Issuer shall fail to pay any interest or any other amount under the Note when due and payable (or payable by conversion) thereunder; or (iii) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall be appointed over the Issuer or a material part of its assets and such appointment shall remain uncontested for twenty (20) days or shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days; or (iv) the Issuer shall become insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due, subject to applicable grace periods, if any; or (v) the Issuer shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (vi) the Issuer shall file a petition for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (domestic or foreign); or (vii) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or filed against the Issuer; or (viii) the Issuer shall lose its status as “DTC Eligible” or the Issuer’s shareholders shall lose the ability to deposit (either electronically or by physical certificates, or otherwise) shares into the DTC System; or (ix) the Issuer shall become delinquent in its filing requirements as a fully-reporting issuer registered with the SEC; or (x) the Issuer shall fail to meet all requirements to satisfy the availability of Rule 144 to the Investor or its assigns including but not limited to timely fulfillment of its filing requirements as a fully-reporting issuer registered with the SEC, requirements for XBRL filings, and requirements for disclosure of financial statements on its website.

 
 

 
 
8.       Remedies .  In the event of any default, the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages, fees and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the Investor’s election, immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount.  The Mandatory Default Amount means the greater of (i) the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, liquidated damages, fees and other amounts hereon, divided by the Conversion Price on the date the Mandatory Default Amount is either demanded or paid in full, whichever has a lower Conversion Price, multiplied by the VWAP on the date the Mandatory Default Amount is either demanded or paid in full, whichever has a higher VWAP, or (ii) 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, plus 100% of accrued and unpaid interest, liquidated damages, fees and other amounts hereon.  Commencing five (5) days after the occurrence of any event of default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Note, the interest rate on this Note shall accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.  In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Investor need not provide, and the Issuer hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Investor may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law.  Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by the Investor at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Investor shall have all rights as a holder of the note until such time, if any, as the Investor receives full payment pursuant to this Section 8.  No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent event of default or impair any right consequent thereon.  Nothing herein shall limit the Investor’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Issuer’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

9.       No Shorting .  The Investor agrees that so long as this Note from the Issuer to the Investor remains outstanding, the Investor will not enter into or effect “short sales” of the Common Stock or hedging transaction which establishes a net short position with respect to the Common Stock of the Issuer.  The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that upon delivery of a conversion notice by the Investor, the Investor immediately owns the shares of Common Stock described in the conversion notice and any sale of those shares issuable under such conversion notice would not be considered short sales.

10.       Assignability .  The Issuer may not assign this Note.  This Note will be binding upon the Issuer and its successors and will inure to the benefit of the Investor and its successors and assigns and may be assigned by the Investor to anyone without the Issuer’s approval.

11.       Governing Law .  This Note will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.  Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of Florida or in the federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, in the State of Florida.  Both parties and the individuals signing this Agreement agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.

12.       Delivery of Process by the Investor to the Issuer .  In the event of any action or proceeding by the Investor against the Issuer, and only by the Investor against the Issuer, service of copies of summons and/or complaint and/or any other process which may be served in any such action or proceeding may be made by the Investor via U.S. Mail, overnight delivery service such as FedEx or UPS, email, fax, or process server, or by mailing or otherwise delivering a copy of such process to the Issuer at its last known attorney as set forth in its most recent SEC filing.

13.       Attorney Fees . If any attorney is employed by either party with regard to any legal or equitable action, arbitration or other proceeding brought by such party for enforcement of this Note or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Note, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incurred, in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled.

14.       Opinion of Counsel . In the event that an opinion of counsel is needed for any matter related to this Note, the Investor has the right to have any such opinion provided by its counsel.  Investor also has the right to have any such opinion provided by Issuer’s counsel.

15.       Notices .  Any notice required or permitted hereunder (including Conversion Notices) must be in writing and either personally served, sent by facsimile or email transmission, or sent by overnight courier.  Notices will be deemed effectively delivered at the time of transmission if by facsimile or email, and if by overnight courier the business day after such notice is deposited with the courier service for delivery.

(a)       Calculation of Conversion Price .  The conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein) (subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events).  The "Variable Conversion Price" shall mean 61% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 39%).  “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date.  “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, Pink Sheets electronic quotation system or applicable trading market (the “OTC”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTC is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets”.  If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes.  “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTC, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.

(b)       Conversion Price During Major Announcements .  Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1.2(a) to the contrary, in the event the Borrower (i) makes a public announcement that it intends to consolidate or merge with any other corporation (other than a merger in which the Borrower is the surviving or continuing corporation and its capital stock is unchanged) or sell or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or (ii) any person, group or entity (including the Borrower) publicly announces a tender offer to purchase 50% or more of the Borrower’s Common Stock (or any other takeover scheme) (the date of the announcement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) is hereinafter referred to as the  “Announcement Date”), then the Conversion Price shall, effective upon the Announcement Date and continuing through the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date (as defined below), be equal to the lower of (x) the Conversion Price which would have been applicable for a Conversion occurring on the Announcement Date and (y) the Conversion Price that would otherwise be in effect. From and after the Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date, the Conversion Price shall be determined as set forth in this Section 1.2(a).  For purposes hereof,  “Adjusted Conversion Price Termination Date” shall mean, with respect to any proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) for which a public announcement as contemplated by this Section 1.2(b) has been made, the date upon which the Borrower (in the case of clause (i) above) or the person, group or entity (in the case of clause (ii) above) consummates or publicly announces the termination or abandonment of the proposed transaction or tender offer (or takeover scheme) which caused this Section 1.2(b) to become operative.

1.3       Authorized Shares .  The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.  The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved eight times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note (based on the Conversion Price of the Notes in effect from time to time)(the “Reserved Amount”).  The Reserved Amount shall be increased from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Notes.  The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note.

1.4       Method of Conversion .

(a)       Mechanics of Conversion .  Subject to Section 1.1, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower.

(b)       Surrender of Note Upon Conversion .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted.  The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion.  In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note.  The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(c)       Payment of Taxes .  The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.

(d)       Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion .  Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement.

(e)       Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock .  Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion.  If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion.  The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.

(f)       Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer .  In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.

(g)       Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline .  Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (other than a failure due to the circumstances described in Section 1.3 above, which failure shall be governed by such Section) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock.  Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note.  The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder.  The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify.  Accordingly the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(g) are justified.

1.5       Concerning the Shares .  The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless  (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of  counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) or (iv) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).  Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note have been registered under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate:

“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold.  In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Regulation S, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

1.6       Effect of Certain Events .

(a)       Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc .  At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall either:  (i) be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) or (ii) be treated pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof.  “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

(b)       Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc .  If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Notes, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof.  The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, thirty (30) days prior written notice (but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section 1.6(b).  The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.
 
(c)       Adjustment Due to Distribution .  If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

(d)       Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance .  If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 1.6(d) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) or for consideration per share which is less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such shares of Common Stock (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by the Borrower in such Dilutive Issuance.

The Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options (not including employee stock option plans), whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable).  No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.

Additionally, the Borrower shall be deemed to have issued or sold shares of Common Stock if the Borrower in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options), and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share.  For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Borrower as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Borrower upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities.  No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

(e)       Purchase Rights .  If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues any convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the “Purchase Rights”) pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then the Holder of this Note will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
 
 
10

 

(f)       Notice of Adjustments .  Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the events described in this Section 1.6, the Borrower, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.  The Borrower shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Note.

1.7       Trading Market Limitations .  Unless permitted by the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded, in no event shall the Borrower issue upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement more than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Borrower can issue pursuant to any rule of the principal United States securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded (the “Maximum Share Amount”), which shall be 9.99% of the total shares outstanding on the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), subject to equitable adjustment from time to time for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, capital reorganizations and similar events relating to the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof.  Once the Maximum Share Amount has been issued, if the Borrower fails to eliminate any prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Borrower or any of its securities on the Borrower’s ability to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Maximum Share Amount, in lieu of any further right to convert this Note, this will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.3 of the Note.

1.8       Status as Shareholder .  Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder, (i) the shares covered thereby (other than the shares, if any, which cannot be issued because their issuance would exceed such Holder’s allocated portion of the Reserved Amount or Maximum Share Amount) shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a Holder of such converted portion of this Note shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Borrower to comply with the terms  of this Note.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder has not received certificates for all shares of Common Stock prior to the tenth (10th) business day after the expiration of the Deadline with respect to a conversion of any portion of this Note for any reason, then (unless the Holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder of Common Stock by so notifying the Borrower) the Holder shall regain the rights of a Holder of this Note with respect to such unconverted portions of this Note and the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable, return such unconverted Note to the Holder or, if the Note has not been surrendered, adjust its records to reflect that such portion of this Note has not been converted.  In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, (i) the right to receive Conversion Default Payments pursuant to Section 1.3 to the extent required thereby for such Conversion Default and any subsequent Conversion Default and (ii) the right to have the Conversion Price with respect to subsequent conversions determined in accordance with Section 1.3) for the Borrower’s failure to convert this Note.
 
 
11

 

1.9            Prepayment .   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at any time during the periods set forth on the table immediately following this paragraph (the “Prepayment Periods”), the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not less than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 1.9.  Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice.  On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to Holder, or upon the order of the Holder as specified by the Holder in writing to the Borrower, at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date.  If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”) equal to the percentage (“Prepayment Percentage”) as set forth in the table immediately following this paragraph opposite the applicable Prepayment Period, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.  If the Borrower delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the Optional Prepayment Amount due to the Holder of the Note within two (2) business days following the Optional Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay the Note pursuant to this Section 1.9.

3.15     Replacement of Transfer Agent .

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Section 3.1 (solely with respect to failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due at the Maturity Date), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the Default Sum (as defined herein).  UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT SPECIFIED IN SECTION 3.2, THE NOTE SHALL BECOME IMMEDIATELY DUE AND PAYABLE AND THE BORROWER SHALL PAY TO THE HOLDER, IN FULL SATISFACTION OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO: (Y) THE DEFAULT SUM (AS DEFINED HEREIN); MULTIPLIED BY (Z) TWO (2). Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, other than Section 3.2, exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Borrower by such Holders (the “Default Notice”), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the greater of (i) 150% times the sum of (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the date of payment (the “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and/or (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof (the then outstanding principal amount of this Note to the date of payment plus the amounts referred to in clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall collectively be known as the “Default Sum”) or (ii) the “parity value” of the Default Sum to be prepaid, where parity value means (a) the highest number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to such Default Sum in accordance with Article I, treating the Trading Day immediately preceding the Mandatory Prepayment Date as the “Conversion Date” for purposes of determining the lowest applicable Conversion Price, unless the Default Event arises as a result of a breach in respect of a specific Conversion Date in which case such Conversion Date shall be the Conversion Date), multiplied by (b) the highest Closing Price for the Common Stock during the period beginning on the date of first occurrence of the Event of Default and ending one day prior to the Mandatory Prepayment Date (the “Default Amount”) and all other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. 
 
 
17

 
 
            If the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long and to the extent that there are sufficient authorized shares, to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to convert the Default Amount into shares of Common Stock of the Borrower pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof.
 

ARTICLE IV. MISCELLANEOUS

4.1       Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver .  No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges.  All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

4.5       Cost of Collection .  If default is made in the payment of this Note, the Borrower shall pay the Holder hereof costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

4.6       Governing Law .  This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.  Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Note shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the state and county of Nassau.  The parties to this Note hereby irrevocably waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens .  The Borrower and Holder waive trial by jury.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney's fees and costs.  In the event that any provision of this Note or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law.  Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement.   Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

4.10       Remedies .  The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby.  Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

A.           Company and Investor are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the rules and regulations promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ 1933 Act ”).
 
B.           Investor desires to purchase and Company desires to issue and sell, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (i) a Convertible Promissory Note, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A , in the original principal amount of $225,000.00 (the “ Note ”), convertible into shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Company (the “ Common Stock ”), upon the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in such Note, and (ii) a Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “ Warrant ”).
 
C.           This Agreement, the Note, the Warrant, and all other certificates, documents, agreements, resolutions and instruments delivered to any party under or in connection with this Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time, are collectively referred to herein as the “ Transaction Documents ”.
 
D.           For purposes of this Agreement: “ Conversion Shares ” means all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all or any portion of the Note; “ Warrant Shares ” means all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of or pursuant to the Warrant; and “ Securities ” means the Note, the Conversion Shares, the Warrant and the Warrant Shares.
 
NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the above recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Company and Investor hereby   agree as follows:
 
1.            Purchase and Sale of Securities .
 
1.1.            Purchase of Securities . Company shall issue and sell to Investor and Investor agrees to purchase from Company the Note and the Warrant. In consideration thereof, Investor shall pay the Purchase Price (as defined below) to Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchase Price constitutes payment in full for Warrant.
 
1.2.            Form of Payment . On the Closing Date, Investor shall pay the Purchase Price to Company against delivery of the Note and the Warrant.
 
1.3.            Closing Date . Subject to the satisfaction (or written waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 5 and Section 6 below, the date and time of the issuance and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (the “ Closing Date ”) shall be 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on or about March 12, 2015, or such other mutually agreed upon time. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “ Closing ”) shall occur on the Closing Date by means of the exchange by express courier and email of .pdf documents and by wire transfer of funds, but shall be deemed to have occurred at the offices of Hansen Black Anderson Ashcraft PLLC in Lehi, Utah.

At all times during which the Note is convertible or the Warrant is exercisable, Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of the Note and full exercise of the Warrant at least (i) three (3) times the higher of (1) the Outstanding Balance (as defined in the Note) divided by the Lender Conversion Price (as defined in the Note), and (2) the Outstanding Balance divided by the Market Price (as defined in the Note), plus (ii) three (3) times the number of Warrant Shares (as determined pursuant to the Warrant) deliverable upon full exercise of the Warrant (the “ Share Reserve ”), but in any event not less than 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock shall be reserved at all times for such purpose (the “ Transfer Agent Reserve ”). Company further agrees that it will cause the Transfer Agent to immediately add shares of Common Stock to the Transfer Agent Reserve in increments of 1,000,000 shares as and when requested by Investor in writing from time to time, provided that such incremental increases do not cause the Transfer Agent Reserve to exceed the Share Reserve. In furtherance thereof, from and after the date hereof and until such time that the Note has been paid in full and the Warrant exercised in full, Company shall require the Transfer Agent to reserve for the purpose of issuance of Conversion Shares under the Note and Warrant Shares under the Warrant, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Transfer Agent Reserve. Company shall further require the Transfer Agent to hold such shares of Common Stock exclusively for the benefit of Investor and to issue such shares to Investor promptly upon Investor’s delivery of a conversion notice under the Note or a notice of exercise under the Warrant. Finally, Company shall require the Transfer Agent to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Note and the Warrant to Investor out of its authorized and unissued shares, and not the Transfer Agent Reserve, to the extent shares of Common Stock have been authorized, but not issued, and are not included in the Transfer Agent Reserve. The Transfer Agent shall only issue shares out of the Transfer Agent Reserve to the extent there are no other authorized shares available for issuance and then only with Investor’s written consent.

8.            Miscellaneous . The provisions set forth in this Section 8 shall apply to this Agreement, as well as all other Transaction Documents as if these terms were fully set forth therein.
 
8.1.            Original Signature Pages . Each party agrees to deliver its original signature pages to the Transaction Documents to the other party within five (5) Trading Days of the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Transaction Documents shall be fully effective upon exchange of electronic signature pages by the parties and payment of the Purchase Price by Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure by either party to deliver its original signature pages to the other party shall not affect in any way the validity or effectiveness of any of the Transaction Documents, provided that such failure to deliver original signatures shall be a breach of the party’s obligations hereunder.
 
8.2.            Arbitration of Claims . The parties shall submit all Claims (as defined in Exhibit F ) arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or other agreements between the parties and their affiliates to binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth in Exhibit F attached hereto (the “ Arbitration Provisions ”). The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration Provisions are unconditionally binding on the parties hereto and are severable from all other provisions of this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, Company represents, warrants and covenants that Company has reviewed the Arbitration Provisions carefully, consulted with legal counsel about such provisions (or waived its right to do so), understands that the Arbitration Provisions are intended to allow for the expeditious and efficient resolution of any dispute hereunder, agrees to the terms and limitations set forth in the Arbitration Provisions, and that Company will not take a position contrary to the foregoing representations. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may rely upon the foregoing representations and covenants of Company regarding the Arbitration Provisions.
 
8.3.            Governing Law; Venue . This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah for contracts to be wholly performed in such state and without giving effect to the principles thereof regarding the conflict of laws. Each party consents to and expressly agrees that exclusive venue for arbitration of any dispute arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document or the relationship of the parties or their affiliates shall be in Salt Lake County or Utah County, Utah. Without modifying the parties obligations to resolve disputes hereunder pursuant to the Arbitration Provisions, for any litigation arising in connection with any of the Transaction Documents, each party hereto hereby (a) consents to and expressly submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, (b) expressly submits to the exclusive venue of any such court for the purposes hereof, and (c) waives any claim of improper venue and any claim or objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or any other claim or objection to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions or to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper.
 
8.4.            Calculation Disputes . Notwithstanding the Arbitration Provisions, in the case of a dispute as to any determination or arithmetic calculation under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation, calculating the Outstanding Balance, Warrant Shares, Lender Conversion Price, Lender Conversion Shares (as defined in the Note), Installment Conversion Price (as defined in the Note), Installment Conversion Shares (as defined in the Note), Conversion Factor (as defined in the Note), Market Price, Conversion Shares, or VWAP (as defined in the Note) (each, a “ Calculations ”), Company or Investor (as the case may be) shall submit any disputed Calculation via email or facsimile with confirmation of receipt (a) within two (2) Trading Days after receipt of the applicable notice giving rise to such dispute to Company or Investor (as the case may be) or (b) if no notice gave rise to such dispute, at any time after Investor learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If Investor and Company are unable to agree upon such Calculation within two (2) Trading Days of such disputed Calculation being submitted to Company or Investor (as the case may be), then Investor shall, within two (2) Trading Days, submit via email or facsimile the disputed Calculation to Unkar Systems Inc. (“ Unkar Systems ”). Company shall cause Unkar Systems to perform any applicable Calculation and notify Company and Investor of the results no later than ten (10) Trading Days from the time it receives such disputed Calculation. Unkar Systems’ determination of the disputed Calculation shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. Unkar Systems’ fee for performing such Calculation shall be paid by the incorrect party, or if both parties are incorrect, by the party whose Calculation is furthest from the correct Calculation as determined by Unkar Systems. In the event Company is the losing party, no extension of the Delivery Date (as defined in the Note) shall be granted and Company shall incur all effects for failing to deliver the applicable shares in a timely manner as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investor may, in its sole discretion, designate an independent, reputable investment bank or accounting firm other than Unkar Systems to resolve any such dispute and in such event, all references to “Unkar Systems” herein will be replaced with references to such independent, reputable investment bank or accounting firm so designated by Investor.

8.5.            Counterparts . Each Transaction Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. The parties hereto confirm that any electronic copy of another party’s executed counterpart of a Transaction Document (or such party’s signature page thereof) will be deemed to be an executed original thereof.
 
8.6.            Headings . The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

Any provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
 
8.8.            Entire Agreement . This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents, contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither Company nor Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.
 
8.9.            No Reliance . Company acknowledges and agrees that neither Investor nor any of its officers, directors, members, managers, representatives or agents has made any representations or warranties to Company or any of its agents, representatives, officers, directors, or employees except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents and, in making its decision to enter into the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, Company is not relying on any representation, warranty, covenant or promise of Investor or its officers, directors, members, managers, agents or representatives other than as set forth in the Transaction Documents.
 
8.10.            Amendments . No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.
 
8.11.            Notices .

8.12.            Successors and Assigns . This Agreement or any of the severable rights and obligations inuring to the benefit of or to be performed by Investor hereunder may be assigned by Investor to a third party, including its financing sources, in whole or in part, without the need to obtain Company’s consent thereto. Company may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of Investor.
 
8.13.            Survival . The representations and warranties of Company and the agreements and covenants set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing hereunder notwithstanding any due diligence investigation conducted by or on behalf of Investor. Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Investor and all its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and agents for loss or damage arising as a result of or related to any breach or alleged breach by Company of any of its representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement or any of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement, including advancement of expenses as they are incurred.
 
8.14.            Further Assurances . Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
8.15.            Investor’s Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Liquidated Damages . All rights, remedies, and powers conferred in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies, and shall be in addition to every other right, power, and remedy that Investor may have, whether specifically granted in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or existing at law, in equity, or by statute, and any and all such rights and remedies may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as Investor may deem expedient. The parties acknowledge and agree that upon Company’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Transaction Documents, Investor’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and future share prices, Investor’s increased risk, and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for Investor, among other reasons. Accordingly, any fees, charges, and default interest due under the Note, the Warrant, and the other Transaction Documents are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages (under Company’s and Investor’s expectations that any such liquidated damages will tack back to the Closing Date for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144). The parties agree that such liquidated damages are a reasonable estimate of Investor’s actual damages and not a penalty, and shall not be deemed in any way to limit any other right or remedy Investor may have hereunder, at law or in equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that under the circumstances existing at the time this Agreement is entered into, such liquidated damages are fair and reasonable and are not penalties. All fees, charges, and default interest provided for in the Transaction Documents are agreed to by the parties to be based upon the obligations and the risks assumed by the parties as of the Closing Date and are consistent with investments of this type. The liquidated damages provisions of the Transaction Documents shall not limit or preclude a party from pursuing any other remedy available at law or in equity; provided, however , that the liquidated damages provided for in the Transaction Documents are intended to be in lieu of actual damages.

8.16.            Ownership Limitation . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, if at any time Investor shall or would be issued shares of Common Stock under any of the Transaction Documents, but such issuance would cause Investor (together with its affiliates) to beneficially own a number of shares exceeding the Maximum Percentage (as defined in the Note), then Company must not issue to Investor the shares that would cause Investor to exceed the Maximum Percentage. The shares of Common Stock issuable to Investor that would cause the Maximum Percentage to be exceeded are referred to herein as the “ Ownership Limitation Shares ”. Company will reserve the Ownership Limitation Shares for the exclusive benefit of Investor. From time to time, Investor may notify Company in writing of the number of the Ownership Limitation Shares that may be issued to Investor without causing Investor to exceed the Maximum Percentage. Upon receipt of such notice, Company shall be unconditionally obligated to immediately issue such designated shares to Investor, with a corresponding reduction in the number of the Ownership Limitation Shares. For purposes of this Section, beneficial ownership of Common Stock will be determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act.
 
8.17.            Attorneys’ Fees and Cost of Collection . In the event of any arbitration or action at law or in equity to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the parties agree that the party who is awarded the most money shall be deemed the prevailing party for all purposes and shall therefore be entitled to an additional award of the full amount of the attorneys’ fees, deposition costs, and expenses paid by such prevailing party in connection with arbitration or litigation without reduction or apportionment based upon the individual claims or defenses giving rise to the fees and expenses. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair an arbitrator’s or a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading. If (a) the Note or Warrant is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement prior to commencing arbitration or legal proceedings, or is collected or enforced through any arbitration or legal proceeding, or Investor otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under the Note or to enforce the provisions of the Note or the Warrant; or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of Company or other proceedings affecting Company’s creditors’ rights and involving a claim under the Note or the Warrant; then Company shall pay the costs incurred by Investor for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, expenses, deposition costs, and disbursements.

8.18.            Waiver . No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in writing.
 
8.19.            Waiver of Jury Trial . EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO DEMAND THAT ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PARTIES HERETO BE TRIED BY JURY. THIS WAIVER EXTENDS TO ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY ARISING UNDER COMMON LAW OR ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE, LAW, RULE OR REGULATION. FURTHER, EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PARTY IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING SUCH PARTY’S RIGHT TO DEMAND TRIAL BY JURY .
 
8.20.            Time of the Essence . Time is expressly made of the essence with respect to each and every provision of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

EXHIBIT F

ARBITRATION PROVISIONS

1.       Dispute Resolution . For purposes of this Exhibit F , the term “ Claims ” means any disputes, claims, demands, causes of action, liabilities, damages, losses, or controversies whatsoever arising from related to or connected with the transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents and any communications between the parties related thereto, including without limitation any claims of mutual mistake, mistake, fraud, misrepresentation, failure of formation, failure of consideration, promissory estoppel, unconscionability, failure of condition precedent, rescission, and any statutory claims, tort claims, contract claims, or claims to void, invalidate or terminate the Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents. The term “Claims” specifically excludes a dispute over Calculations. The parties hereby agree that the arbitration provisions set forth in this Exhibit F (“ Arbitration Provisions ”) are binding on the parties hereto and are severable from all other provisions in the Transaction Documents. As a result, any attempt to rescind the Agreement or declare the Agreement or any other Transaction Document invalid or unenforceable for any reason is subject to these Arbitration Provisions. These Arbitration Provisions shall also survive any termination or expiration of the Agreement. Any capitalized term not defined in these Arbitration Provisions shall have the meaning set forth in this Agreement.
 
2.       Arbitration . Except as otherwise provided herein, all Claims must be submitted to arbitration (“ Arbitration ”) to be conducted in Salt Lake County, Utah or Utah County, Utah and pursuant to the terms set forth in these Arbitration Provisions. The parties agree that the award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties; shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between them regarding any Claims, counterclaims, issues, or accountings presented or pleaded to the arbitrator; and shall promptly be payable in United States dollars free of any tax, deduction or offset (with respect to monetary awards). Any costs or fees, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, incident to enforcing the arbitrator’s award shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, be charged against the party resisting such enforcement. The award shall include Default Interest (as defined in the Note) both before and after the award. Judgment upon the award of the arbitrator will be entered and enforced by a state court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah. The parties hereby incorporate herein the provisions and procedures set forth in the Utah Uniform Arbitration Act, U.C.A. § 78B-11-101 et seq. (as amended or superseded from time to time, the “ Arbitration Act ”). Pursuant to Section 105 of the Arbitration Act, in the event of conflict between the terms of these Arbitration Provisions and the provisions of the Arbitration Act, the terms of these Arbitration Provisions shall control.
 
3.       Arbitration Proceedings . Arbitration between the parties will be subject to the following procedures:
 
3.1         Pursuant to Section 110 of the Arbitration Act, the parties agree that a party may initiate Arbitration by giving written notice to the other party (“ Arbitration Notice ”) in the same manner that notice is permitted under Section 8.11 of the Agreement; provided, however , that the Arbitration Notice may not be given by email or fax. Arbitration will be deemed initiated as of the date that the Arbitration Notice is deemed delivered under Section 8.11 of the Agreement (the “ Service Date ”). After the Service Date, information may be delivered, and notices may be given, by email or fax pursuant to Section 8.11 of the Agreement or any other method permitted thereunder. The Arbitration Notice must describe the nature of the controversy, the remedies sought, and the election to commence Arbitration proceedings. All Claims in the Arbitration Notice must be pleaded consistent with the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure.
 
3.2          Within ten (10) calendar days after the Service Date, Investor shall select and submit to Company the names of three arbitrators that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Services ( http://www.utahadrservices.com ) (such three designated persons hereunder are referred to herein as the “ Proposed Arbitrators ”). For the avoidance of doubt, each Proposed Arbitrator must be qualified as a “neutral” with Utah ADR Services. Within ten (10) calendar days after Investor has submitted to Company the names of the Proposed Arbitrators, Company must select, by written notice to Investor, one (1) of the Proposed Arbitrators to act as the arbitrator for the parties under these Arbitration Provisions. If Company fails to select one of the Proposed Arbitrators in writing within such 10-day period, then Investor may select the arbitrator from the Proposed Arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to Company. If Investor fails to identify the Proposed Arbitrators within the time period required above, then Company may at any time prior to Investor designating the Proposed Arbitrators, select the names of three arbitrators that are designated as “neutrals” or qualified arbitrators by Utah ADR Service by written notice to Investor. Investor may then, within ten (10) calendar days after Company has submitted notice of its selected arbitrators to Investor, select, by written notice to Company, one (1) of the selected arbitrators to act as the arbitrator for the parties under these Arbitration Provisions. If Investor fails to select in writing and within such 10-day period one of the three arbitrators selected by Company, then Company may select the arbitrator from its three previously selected arbitrators by providing written notice of such selection to Investor. Subject to Paragraph 3.12 below, the cost of the arbitrator must be paid equally by both parties; provided, however , that if one party refuses or fails to pay its portion of the arbitrator fee, then the other party can advance such unpaid amount (subject to the accrual of Default Interest thereupon), with such amount added to or subtracted from, as applicable, the award granted by the arbitrator. If Utah ADR Services ceases to exist or to provide a list of neutrals, then the arbitrator shall be selected under the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association. The date that the selected arbitrator agrees in writing to serve as the arbitrator hereunder is referred to herein as the “ Arbitration Commencement Date ”.
 
 
Arbitration Provisions , Page 1

 
 
3.3         An answer and any counterclaims to the Arbitration Notice, which must be pleaded consistent with the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure, shall be required to be delivered to the other party within twenty (20) calendar days after the Service Date. Upon request, the arbitrator is hereby instructed to render a default award, consistent with the relief requested in the Arbitration Notice, against a party that fails to submit an answer within such time period.
 
3.4         The party that delivers the Arbitration Notice to the other party shall have the option to also commence legal proceedings with any state court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah (“ Litigation Proceedings ”), subject to the following: (i) the complaint in the Litigation Proceedings is to be substantially similar to the claims set forth in the Arbitration Notice, provided that an additional cause of action to compel arbitration will also be included therein, (ii) so long as the other party files an answer to the complaint in the Litigation Proceedings and an answer to the Arbitration Notice, the Litigation Proceedings will be stayed pending an award of the arbitrator hereunder, (iii) if the other party fails to file an answer in the Litigation Proceedings or an answer in the Arbitration Proceedings, then the party initiating Arbitration shall be entitled to a default judgment consistent with the relief requested, to be entered in the Litigation Proceedings, and (iv) any legal or procedural issue arising under the Arbitration Act that requires a decision of a court of competent jurisdiction may be determined in the Litigation Proceedings. Any award of the arbitrator may be entered in such Litigation Proceedings pursuant to the Arbitration Act.
 
3.5         Pursuant to Section 118(8) of the Arbitration Act, the parties agree that discovery shall be conducted in accordance with the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure; provided, however , that incorporation of such rules will in no event supersede the Arbitration Provisions set forth herein, including without limitation the time limitation set forth in Paragraph 3.9 below, and the following:
 
(a)         Discovery will only be allowed if the likely benefits of the proposed discovery outweigh the burden or expense, and the discovery sought is likely to reveal information that will satisfy a specific element of a claim or defense already pleaded in the Arbitration. The party seeking discovery shall always have the burden of showing that all of the standards and limitations set forth in these Arbitration Provisions are satisfied. The scope of discovery in the Arbitration proceedings shall also be limited as follows:
 
(i)         To facts directly connected with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.
 
(ii)         To facts and information that cannot be obtained from another source that is more convenient, less burdensome or less expensive.
 
(c)         No party shall be allowed (a) more than fifteen (15) interrogatories (including discrete subparts), (b) more than fifteen (15) requests for admission (including discrete subparts), (c) more than ten (10) document requests (including discrete subparts), or (d) more than three depositions (excluding expert depositions) for a maximum of seven (7) hours per deposition.
 
3.6         Any party submitting any written discovery requests, including interrogatories, requests for production, subpoenas to a party or a third party, or requests for admissions, must prepay the estimated attorneys’ fees and costs, as determined by the arbitrator, before the responding party has any obligation to produce or respond.
 
 
Arbitration Provisions , Page 2

 
 
(a)         All discovery requests must be submitted in writing to the arbitrator and the other party before issuing or serving such discovery requests. The party issuing the written discovery requests must include with such discovery requests a detailed explanation of how the proposed discovery requests satisfy the requirements of these Arbitration Provisions and the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure. Any party will then be allowed, within ten (10) calendar days of receiving the proposed discovery requests, to submit to the arbitrator an estimate of the attorneys’ fees and costs associated with responding to such written discovery requests and a written challenge to each applicable discovery request. After receipt of an estimate of attorneys’ fees and costs and/or challenge(s) to one or more discovery requests, the arbitrator will make a finding as to the likely attorneys’ fees and costs associated with responding to the discovery requests and issue an order that (A) requires the requesting party to prepay the attorneys’ fees and costs associated with responding to the discovery requests, and (B) requires the responding party to respond to the discovery requests as limited by the arbitrator within a certain period of time after receiving payment from the requesting party. If a party entitled to submit an estimate of attorneys’ fees and costs and/or a challenge to discovery requests fails to do so within such 10-day period, the arbitrator will make a finding that (A) there are no attorneys’ fees or costs associated with responding to such discovery requests, and (B) the responding party must respond to such discovery requests (as may be limited by the arbitrator) within a certain period of time as determined by the arbitrator.
 
 (b)         In order to allow a written discovery request, the arbitrator must find that the discovery request satisfies the standards set forth in these Arbitration Provisions and the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator must strictly enforce these standards. If a discovery request does not satisfy any of the standards set forth in these Arbitration Provisions or the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure, the arbitrator may modify such discovery request to satisfy the applicable standards, or strike such discovery request in whole or in part.
 
(c)         Discovery deadlines will be set forth in a scheduling order issued by the arbitrator. The parties hereby authorize and direct the arbitrator to take such actions and make such rulings as may be necessary to carry out the parties’ intent for the arbitration proceedings to be efficient and expeditious.
 
3.7         Each party may submit expert reports (and rebuttals thereto), provided that such reports must be submitted by the deadlines established by the arbitrator. Expert reports must contain the following: (a) a complete statement of all opinions the expert will offer at trial and the basis and reasons for them; (b) the expert’s name and qualifications, including a list of all publications within the preceding 10 years, and a list of any other cases in which the expert has testified at trial or in a deposition or prepared a report within the preceding 10 years; and (c) the compensation to be paid for the expert’s report and testimony. The parties are entitled to depose any other party’s expert witness one time for no more than 4 hours. An expert may not testify in a party’s case-in-chief concerning any matter not fairly disclosed in the expert report.
 
3.8         All information disclosed by either party during the Arbitration process (including without limitation information disclosed during the discovery process) shall be considered confidential in nature. Each party agrees not to disclose any confidential information received from the other party during the discovery process unless (i) prior to or after the time of disclosure such information becomes public knowledge or part of the public domain, not as a result of any inaction or action of the receiving party, (ii) such information is required by a court order, subpoena or similar legal duress to be disclosed if such receiving party has notified the other party thereof in writing and given it a reasonable opportunity to obtain a protective order from a court of competent jurisdiction prior to disclosure; or (iii) disclosed to the receiving party’s agents, representatives and legal counsel on a need to know basis who each agree in writing not to disclose such information to any third party. Pursuant to Section 118(5) of the Arbitration Act, the arbitrator is hereby authorized and directed to issue a protective order to prevent the disclosure of privileged information and confidential information upon the written request of either party.
 
3.9         The parties hereby authorize and direct the arbitrator to take such actions and make such rulings as may be necessary to carry out the parties’ intent for the arbitration proceedings to be efficient and expeditious. Pursuant to Section 120 of the Arbitration Act, the parties hereby agree that an award of the arbitrator must be made within 150 days after the Arbitration Commencement Date. The arbitrator is hereby authorized and directed to hold a scheduling conference within ten (10) calendar days after the Arbitration Commencement Date in order to establish a scheduling order with various binding deadlines for discovery, expert testimony, and the submission of documents by the parties to enable the arbitrator to render a decision prior to the end of such 150-day period. The Utah Rules of Evidence will apply to any final hearing before the arbitrator.
 
 
Arbitration Provisions , Page 3

 
 
3.10         The arbitrator shall have the right to award or include in the arbitrator’s award any relief which the arbitrator deems proper under the circumstances, including, without limitation, specific performance and injunctive relief, provided that the arbitrator may not award exemplary or punitive damages.
 
3.11         If any part of these Arbitration Provisions is found to violate applicable law or to be illegal, then such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision enforceable under applicable law.
 
3.12         The arbitrator is hereby directed to require the losing party to (i) pay the full amount of any unpaid costs and fees of the arbitrator, and (ii) reimburse the prevailing party the reasonable attorneys’ fees, arbitrator costs, deposition costs, and other discovery costs incurred by the prevailing party.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Boston Therapeutics, Inc. , a Delaware corporation (“ Borrower ”), promises to pay to Typenex Co-Investment, LLC , a Utah limited liability company, or its successors or assigns (“ Lender ”), $225,000.00 and any interest, fees, charges, and late fees on the date that is eleven (11) months after the Purchase Price Date (as defined below) (the “ Maturity Date ”) in accordance with the terms set forth herein and to pay interest on the Outstanding Balance at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the Purchase Price Date until the same is paid in full. This Convertible Promissory Note (this “ Note ”) is issued and made effective as of March 12, 2015 (the “ Effective Date ”). This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 12, 2015, as the same may be amended from time to time, by and between Borrower and Lender (the “ Purchase Agreement ”). All interest calculations hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months, shall compound daily and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Note. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Attachment 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
 
This Note carries an OID of $20,000.00. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay $5,000.00 to Lender to cover Lender’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of this Note (the “ Transaction Expense Amount ”), all of which amount is included in the initial principal balance of this Note. The purchase price for this Note and the Warrant (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) shall be $200,000.00 (the “ Purchase Price ”), computed as follows: $225,000.00 original principal balance, less the OID, less the Transaction Expense Amount. The Purchase Price shall be payable by Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
 
1.            Payment; Prepayment . Provided there is an Outstanding Balance, on each Installment Date (as defined below), Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the Installment Amount (as defined below) due on such Installment Date in accordance with Section 8. All payments owing hereunder shall be in lawful money of the United States of America or Conversion Shares (as defined below), as provided for herein, and delivered to Lender at the address furnished to Borrower for that purpose. All payments shall be applied first to (a) costs of collection, if any, then to (b) fees and charges, if any, then to (c) accrued and unpaid interest, and thereafter, to (d) principal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Borrower has not received a Lender Conversion Notice (as defined below) or an Installment Notice (as defined below) from Lender where the applicable Conversion Shares have not yet been delivered and so long as no Event of Default has occurred since the Effective Date (whether declared by Lender or undeclared), then Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not less than five (5) Trading Days prior written notice to Lender to prepay the Outstanding Balance of this Note, in full, in accordance with this Section 1. Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “ Optional Prepayment Notice ”) shall be delivered to Lender at its registered address and shall state: (y) that Borrower is exercising its right to prepay this Note, and (z) the date of prepayment, which shall be not less than five (5) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “ Optional Prepayment Date ”), Borrower shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to or upon the order of Lender as may be specified by Lender in writing to Borrower. If Borrower exercises its right to prepay this Note, Borrower shall make payment to Lender of an amount in cash equal to 125% multiplied by the then Outstanding Balance of this Note (the “ Optional Prepayment Amount ”). In the event Borrower delivers the Optional Prepayment Amount to Lender prior to the Optional Prepayment Date or without delivering an Optional Prepayment Notice to Lender as set forth herein without Lender’s prior written consent, the Optional Prepayment Amount shall not be deemed to have been paid to Lender until the Optional Prepayment Date. Moreover, in such event the Optional Prepayment Liquidated Damages Amount will automatically be added to the Outstanding Balance of this Note on the day Borrower delivers the Optional Prepayment Amount to Lender. In the event Borrower delivers the Optional Prepayment Amount without an Optional Prepayment Notice, then the Optional Prepayment Date will be deemed to be the date that is five (5) Trading Days from the date that the Optional Prepayment Amount was delivered to Lender. In addition, if Borrower delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the Optional Prepayment Amount due to Lender within two (2) Trading Days following the Optional Prepayment Date, Borrower shall forever forfeit its right to prepay this Note.
 
 
 

 
 
2.            Security . This Note is unsecured.
 
3.            Lender Optional Conversion .
 
3.1.            Lender Conversion Price . Subject to adjustment as set forth in this Note, the conversion price for each Lender Conversion (as defined below) shall be $0.30 (the “ Lender Conversion Price ”). However, in the event the Market Capitalization falls below $5,000,000.00 at any time, then in such event (a) the Lender Conversion Price for all Lender Conversions occurring after the first date of such occurrence shall equal the lower of the Lender Conversion Price and the Market Price as of any applicable date of Conversion, and (b) the true-up provisions of Section 11 below shall apply to all Lender Conversions that occur after the first date the Market Capitalization falls below $5,000,000.00, provided that all references to the “Installment Notice” in Section 11 shall be replaced with references to a “Lender Conversion Notice” for purposes of this Section 3.1, all references to “Installment Conversion Shares” in Section 11 shall be replaced with references to “Lender Conversion Shares” for purposes of this Section 3.1, and all references to the “Installment Conversion Price” in Section 11 shall be replaced with references to the “Lender Conversion Price” for purposes of this Section 3.1.
 
3.2.            Lender Conversions . Lender has the right at any time after the Purchase Price Date until the Outstanding Balance has been paid in full, including without limitation (i) until any Optional Prepayment Date (even if Lender has received an Optional Prepayment Notice) or at any time thereafter with respect to any amount that is not prepaid, and (ii) during or after any Fundamental Default Measuring Period, at its election, to convert (each instance of conversion is referred to herein as a “ Lender Conversion ”) all or any part of the Outstanding Balance into shares (“ Lender Conversion Shares ”) of fully paid and non-assessable common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“ Common Stock ”), of Borrower as per the following conversion formula: the number of Lender Conversion Shares equals the amount being converted (the “ Conversion Amount ”) divided by the Lender Conversion Price. Conversion notices in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “ Lender Conversion Notice ”) may be effectively delivered to Borrower by any method of Lender’s choice (including but not limited to facsimile, email, mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery), and all Lender Conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from Lender. Borrower shall deliver the Lender Conversion Shares from any Lender Conversion to Lender in accordance with Section 9 below.
 
3.3.            Application to Installments . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, including without limitation Section 8 hereof, Lender may, in its sole discretion, apply all or any portion of any Lender Conversion toward any Installment Conversion (as defined below), even if such Installment Conversion is pending, as determined in Lender’s sole discretion, by delivering written notice of such election (which notice may be included as part of the applicable Lender Conversion Notice) to Borrower at any date on or prior to the applicable Installment Date. In such event, Borrower may not elect to allocate such portion of the Installment Amount being paid pursuant to this Section 3.3 in the manner prescribed in Section 8.3; rather, Borrower must reduce the applicable Installment Amount by the Conversion Amount described in this Section 3.3.

4.            Defaults and Remedies .
 
4.1.            Defaults . The following are events of default under this Note (each, an “ Event of Default ”): 1) Borrower shall fail to pay any principal, interest, fees, charges, or any other amount when due and payable hereunder; or 2) Borrower shall fail to deliver any Lender Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms hereof; or 3) Borrower shall fail to deliver any Installment Conversion Shares (as defined below) or True-Up Shares (as defined below) in accordance with the terms hereof; or 4) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall be appointed over Borrower or a material part of its assets and such appointment shall remain uncontested for twenty (20) days or shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days; or 5) Borrower shall become insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due, subject to applicable grace periods, if any; or 6) Borrower shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or 7) Borrower shall file a petition for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (domestic or foreign); or 8) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or filed against Borrower; or 9) Borrower shall default or otherwise fail to observe or perform any covenant, obligation, condition or agreement of Borrower contained herein or in any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), other than those specifically set forth in this Section 4.1; or 10) any representation, warranty or other statement made or furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender herein, in any Transaction Document, or otherwise in connection with the issuance of this Note shall be false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished; or 11) Borrower shall (i) terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination, or (ii) become delinquent in its filing requirements as a fully-reporting issuer registered with the SEC or shall fail to timely file all required quarterly and annual reports and any other filings that are necessary to enable Lender to sell Conversion Shares or True-Up Shares pursuant to Rule 144; or 12) the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction without Lender’s prior written consent; or 13) Borrower shall fail to maintain the Share Reserve as required under the Purchase Agreement; or 14) Borrower effectuates a reverse split of its Common Stock without twenty (20) Trading Days prior written notice to Lender; or 15) any money judgment, writ or similar process shall be entered or filed against Borrower or any subsidiary of Borrower or any of its property or other assets for more than $100,000.00, and shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of twenty (20) calendar days unless otherwise consented to by Lender; or 16) Borrower shall fail to deliver to Lender original signature pages to all Transaction Documents within five (5) Trading Days of the Purchase Price Date; or 17) Borrower shall fail to be DWAC Eligible.
 
4.2.            Remedies . Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower shall within one (1) Trading Day deliver written notice thereof via facsimile, email or reputable overnight courier (with next day delivery specified) (an “ Event of Default Notice ”) to Lender. At any time and from time to time after the earlier of Lender’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice and Lender becoming aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may accelerate this Note by written notice to Borrower, with the Outstanding Balance becoming immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may, at its option, elect to increase the Outstanding Balance by applying the Default Effect (subject to the limitation set forth below) via written notice to Borrower without accelerating the Outstanding Balance, in which event the Outstanding Balance shall be increased as of the date of the occurrence of the applicable Event of Default pursuant to the Default Effect, but the Outstanding Balance shall not be immediately due and payable unless so declared by Lender (for the avoidance of doubt, if Lender elects to apply the Default Effect pursuant to this sentence, it shall reserve the right to declare the Outstanding Balance immediately due and payable at any time and no such election by Lender shall be deemed to be a waiver of its right to declare the Outstanding Balance immediately due and payable as set forth herein unless otherwise agreed to by Lender in writing). Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clauses (d), (e), (f), (g) or (h) of Section 4.1, the Outstanding Balance as of the date of acceleration shall become immediately and automatically due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount, without any written notice required by Lender. At any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, upon written notice given by Lender to Borrower, interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Balance beginning on the date the applicable Event of Default occurred at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 22% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law (“ Default Interest ”); provided, however , that no Default Interest shall accrue during the Fundamental Default Measuring Period. Additionally, following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower may, at its option, pay any Lender Conversion in cash instead of Lender Conversion Shares by paying to Lender on or before the applicable Delivery Date (as defined below) a cash amount equal to the number of Lender Conversion Shares set forth in the applicable Lender Conversion Notice multiplied by the highest intra-day trading price of the Common Stock that occurs during the period beginning on the date the applicable Event of Default occurred and ending on the date of the applicable Lender Conversion Notice. In connection with acceleration described herein, Lender need not provide, and Borrower hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and Lender may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Lender at any time prior to payment hereunder and Lender shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, as Lender receives full payment pursuant to this Section 4.2. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Nothing herein shall limit Lender’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to Borrower’s failure to timely deliver Conversion Shares upon Conversion of the Notes as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

4.3.            Fundamental Default Remedies . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in addition to all other remedies set forth herein, the Fundamental Liquidated Damages Amount shall be added to the Outstanding Balance upon Lender’s delivery to Borrower of a notice (which notice Lender may deliver to Borrower at any time following the occurrence of a Fundamental Default) setting forth its election to declare a Fundamental Default and the Fundamental Liquidated Damages Amount that will be added to the Outstanding Balance.
 
4.4.            Certain Additional Rights . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event Borrower fails to make any payment or otherwise to deliver any Conversion Shares as and when required under this Note, then (i) the Lender Conversion Price for all Lender Conversions occurring after the date of such failure to pay shall equal the lower of the Lender Conversion Price and the Market Price as of any applicable date of Conversion, and (ii) the true-up provisions of Section 11 below shall apply to all Lender Conversions that occur after the date of such failure to pay, provided that all references to the “Installment Notice” in Section 11 shall be replaced with references to a “Lender Conversion Notice” for purposes of this Section 4.4, all references to “Installment Conversion Shares” in Section 11 shall be replaced with references to “Lender Conversion Shares” for purposes of this Section 4.4, and all references to the “Installment Conversion Price” in Section 11 shall be replaced with references to the “Lender Conversion Price” for purposes of this Section 4.4.
 
4.5.            Cross Default . A breach or default by Borrower of any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreements shall, at the option of Lender, be considered an Event of Default under this Note, in which event Lender shall be entitled (but in no event required) to apply all rights and remedies of Lender under the terms of this Note.
 
5.            Unconditional Obligation; No Offset . Borrower acknowledges that this Note is an unconditional, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Borrower not subject to offset, deduction or counterclaim of any kind. Borrower hereby waives any rights of offset it now has or may have hereafter against Lender, its successors and assigns, and agrees to make the payments or Conversions called for herein in accordance with the terms of this Note.

6.            Waiver . No waiver of any provision of this Note shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in writing.
 
7.            Rights Upon Issuance of Securities .
 
7.1.            Subsequent Equity Sales . Except with respect to Excluded Securities, if Borrower or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time this Note is outstanding, shall sell, issue or grant any Common Stock, option to purchase Common Stock, right to reprice, preferred shares convertible into Common Stock, or debt, warrants, options or other instruments or securities to Lender or any third party which are convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “ Equity Securities ”), including without limitation any Deemed Issuance, at an effective price per share less than the then effective Lender Conversion Price (such issuance is referred to herein as a “ Dilutive Issuance ”), then, the Lender Conversion Price shall be automatically reduced and only reduced to equal such lower effective price per share. If the holder of any Equity Securities so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options, or rights per share which are issued in connection with such Dilutive Issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is less than the Lender Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Lender Conversion Price on the date of such Dilutive Issuance, and the then effective Lender Conversion Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal such lower effective price per share. Such adjustments described above to the Lender Conversion Price shall be permanent (subject to additional adjustments under this section), and shall be made whenever such Equity Securities are issued. Borrower shall notify Lender, in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Equity Securities subject to this Section 7.1, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price, or other pricing terms (such notice, the “ Dilutive Issuance Notice ”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not Borrower provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 7.1, upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, on the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Lender Conversion Price shall be lowered to equal the applicable effective price per share regardless of whether Borrower or Lender accurately refers to such lower effective price per share in any Installment Notice or Lender Conversion Notice.
 
7.2.            Adjustment of Lender Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock . Without limiting any provision hereof, if Borrower at any time on or after the Effective Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Lender Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provision hereof, if Borrower at any time on or after the Effective Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Lender Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 7.2 occurs during the period that a Lender Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Lender Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.
 
 
5

 
 
7.3.            Other Events . In the event that Borrower (or any subsidiary) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect Lender from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section  7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then Borrower’s board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Lender Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of Lender, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.3 will increase the Lender Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7, provided further that if Lender does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then Borrower’s board of directors and Lender shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by Borrower.
 
8.            Borrower Installments .
 
8.1.            Installment Conversion Price . Subject to the adjustments set forth herein, the conversion price for each Installment Conversion (the “ Installment Conversion Price ”) shall be the lesser of (i) the Lender Conversion Price, and (ii) the Market Price.
 
8.2.            Installment Conversions . Beginning on the date that is six (6) months after the Purchase Price Date and on the same day of each month thereafter until the Maturity Date, if paying in cash, Borrower shall pay to Lender the applicable Installment Amount due on such date subject to the provisions of this Section 8, and if paying in Installment Conversion Shares (as defined below), Borrower shall deliver such Installment Conversion Shares on or before the Delivery Date. Payments of each Installment Amount may be made (a) in cash, or (b) by converting such Installment Amount into shares of Common Stock (“ Installment Conversion Shares ”, and together with the Lender Conversion Shares, the “ Conversion Shares ”) in accordance with this Section 8 (each an “ Installment Conversion ”) per the following formula: the number of Installment Conversion Shares equals the portion of the applicable Installment Amount being converted divided by the Installment Conversion Price, or (c) by any combination of the foregoing, so long as the cash is delivered to Lender on the applicable Installment Date and the Installment Conversion Shares are delivered to Lender on or before the applicable Delivery Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower will not be entitled to elect an Installment Conversion with respect to any portion of any applicable Installment Amount and shall be required to pay the entire Installment Amount in cash if on the applicable Installment Date (as defined below) there is an Equity Conditions Failure, and such failure is not waived in writing by Lender. Moreover, in the event Borrower desires to pay all or any portion of any Installment Amount in cash, it must notify Lender in writing of such election and the portion of the applicable Installment Amount it elects to pay in cash not more than twenty-five (25) or less than fifteen (15) Trading Days prior to the applicable Installment Date. If Borrower fails to so notify Lender, it shall not be permitted to elect to pay any portion of such Installment Amount in cash unless otherwise agreed to by Lender in writing or proposed by Lender in an Installment Notice delivered by Lender to Borrower. Notwithstanding that failure to repay this Note in full by the Maturity Date is an Event of Default, the Installment Dates shall continue after the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 8 until the Outstanding Balance is repaid in full, provided that Lender shall, in Lender’s sole discretion, determine the Installment Amount for each Installment Date after the Maturity Date.
 
 
6

 
 
8.3.            Allocation of Installment Amounts . Subject to Section 8.2 regarding an Equity Conditions Failure, for each Installment Date (each, an “ Installment Date ”), Borrower may elect to allocate the amount of the applicable Installment Amount between cash and via an Installment Conversion, by email or fax delivery of a notice to Lender substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each, an “ Installment Notice ”), provided, that to be effective, each applicable Installment Notice must be received by Lender not more than twenty-five (25) or less than fifteen (15) Trading Days prior to the applicable Installment Date. If Lender has not received an Installment Notice within such time period, then Lender may prepare the Installment Notice and deliver the same to Borrower by fax or email. Following its receipt of such Installment Notice, Borrower may either ratify Lender’s proposed allocation in the applicable Installment Notice or elect to change the allocation by written notice to Lender by email or fax on or before 12:00 p.m. New York time on the applicable Installment Date, so long as the sum of the cash payments and the amount of Installment Conversions equal the applicable Installment Amount, provided that Lender must approve any increase to the portion of the Installment Amount payable in cash. If Borrower fails to notify Lender of its election to change the allocation prior to the deadline set forth in the previous sentence (and seek approval to increase the amount payable in cash), it shall be deemed to have ratified and accepted the allocation set forth in the applicable Installment Notice prepared by Lender. If neither Borrower nor Lender prepare and deliver to the other party an Installment Notice as outlined above, then Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that the entire Installment Amount be converted via an Installment Conversion. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that regardless of which party prepares the applicable Installment Notice, the amounts and calculations set forth thereon are subject to correction or adjustment because of error, mistake, or any adjustment resulting from an Event of Default or other adjustment permitted under the Transaction Documents (an “ Adjustment ”). Furthermore, no error or mistake in the preparation of such notices, or failure to apply any Adjustment that could have been applied prior to the preparation of an Installment Notice may be deemed a waiver of Lender’s right to enforce the terms of any Note, even if such error, mistake, or failure to include an Adjustment arises from Lender’s own calculation. Borrower shall deliver the Installment Conversion Shares from any Installment Conversion to Lender in accordance with Section 9 below on or before each applicable Delivery Date.
 
9.            Method of Conversion Share Delivery . On or before the close of business on the third (3 rd ) Trading Day following the Installment Date or the third (3 rd ) Trading Day following the date of delivery of a Lender Conversion Notice, as applicable (the “ Delivery Date ”), Borrower shall, provided it is DWAC Eligible at such time, deliver or cause its transfer agent to deliver the applicable Conversion Shares electronically via DWAC to the account designated by Lender in the applicable Lender Conversion Notice or Installment Notice.   If Borrower is not DWAC Eligible, it shall deliver to Lender or its broker (as designated in the Lender Conversion Notice or Installment Notice, as applicable), via reputable overnight courier, a certificate representing the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares to which Lender shall be entitled, registered in the name of Lender or its designee. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower has not met its obligation to deliver Conversion Shares by the Delivery Date unless Lender or its broker, as applicable, has actually received the certificate representing the applicable Conversion Shares no later than the close of business on the relevant Delivery Date pursuant to the terms set forth above.
 
10.            Conversion Delays . If Borrower fails to deliver Conversion Shares or True-Up Shares in accordance with the timeframes stated in Sections 9 or 11, as applicable, Lender, at any time prior to selling all of those Conversion Shares or True-Up Shares, as applicable, may rescind in whole or in part that particular Conversion attributable to the unsold Conversion Shares or True-Up Shares, with a corresponding increase to the Outstanding Balance (any returned amount will tack back to the Purchase Price Date for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144). In addition, for each Lender Conversion, in the event that Lender Conversion Shares are not delivered by the fourth Trading Day (inclusive of the day of the Lender Conversion), a late fee equal to the greater of (a) $500.00 and (b) 2% of the applicable Lender Conversion Share Value rounded to the nearest multiple of $100.00 (but in any event the cumulative amount of such late fees for each Lender Conversion shall not exceed 200% of the applicable Lender Conversion Share Value) will be assessed for each day after the third Trading Day (inclusive of the day of the Lender Conversion) until Lender Conversion Share delivery is made; and such late fee will be added to the Outstanding Balance (such fees, the “ Conversion Delay Late Fees ”). For illustration purposes only, if Lender delivers a Lender Conversion Notice to Borrower pursuant to which Borrower is required to deliver 100,000 Lender Conversion Shares to Lender and on the Delivery Date such Lender Conversion Shares have a Lender Conversion Share Value of $20,000.00 (assuming a Closing Trade Price on the Delivery Date of $0.20 per share of Common Stock), then in such event a Conversion Delay Late Fee in the amount of $500.00 per day (the greater of $500.00 per day and $20,000.00 multiplied by 2%, which is $400.00) would be added to the Outstanding Balance of the Note until such Lender Conversion Shares are delivered to Lender. For purposes of this example, if the Lender Conversion Shares are delivered to Lender twenty (20) days after the applicable Delivery Date, the total Conversion Delay Late Fees that would be added to the Outstanding Balance would be $10,000.00 (20 days multiplied by $500.00 per day). If the Lender Conversion Shares are delivered to Lender one hundred (100) days after the applicable Delivery Date, the total Conversion Delay Late Fees that would be added to the Outstanding Balance would be $40,000.00 (100 days multiplied by $500.00 per day, but capped at 200% of the Lender Conversion Share Value).

11.            True-Up . On the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days (a “ True-Up Date ”) from each date that the Installment Conversion Shares delivered by Borrower to Lender become Free Trading, there shall be a true-up where Borrower shall deliver to Lender additional Installment Conversion Shares (“ True-Up Shares ”) if the Installment Conversion Price as of the True-Up Date is less than the Installment Conversion Price used in the applicable Installment Notice. In such event, Borrower shall deliver to Lender within three (3) Trading Days of the True-Up Date (the “ True-Up Share Delivery Date ”) a number of True-Up Shares equal to the difference between the number of Installment Conversion Shares that would have been delivered to Lender on the True-Up Date based on the Installment Conversion Price as of the True-Up Date and the number of Installment Conversion Shares originally delivered to Lender pursuant to the applicable Installment Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Installment Conversion Price as of the True-Up Date is higher than the Installment Conversion Price set forth in the applicable Installment Notice, then Borrower shall have no obligation to deliver True-Up Shares to Lender, nor shall Lender have any obligation to return any excess Installment Conversion Shares to Borrower under any circumstance. For the convenience of Borrower only, Lender may, in its sole discretion, deliver to Borrower a notice (pursuant to a form of notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C ) informing Borrower of the number of True-Up Shares it is obligated to deliver to Lender as of any given True-Up Date, provided that if Lender does not deliver any such notice, Borrower shall not be relieved of its obligation to deliver True-Up Shares pursuant to this Section 11. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower fails to deliver any required True-Up Shares on or before any applicable True-Up Share Delivery Date, then in such event the Outstanding Balance of this Note will automatically increase by a sum equal to the number of True-Up Shares deliverable as of the applicable True-Up Date multiplied by the Market Price for the Common Stock as of the applicable True-Up Date (under Lender’s and Borrower’s expectations that any such increase will tack back to the Purchase Price Date for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144).
 
12.            Ownership Limitation . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other Transaction Documents, if at any time Lender shall or would be issued shares of Common Stock under any of the Transaction Documents, but such issuance would cause Lender (together with its affiliates) to beneficially own a number of shares exceeding 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such issuance) (the “ Maximum Percentage ”), then Borrower must not issue to Lender shares of the Common Stock which would exceed the Maximum Percentage. For purposes of this section, beneficial ownership of Common Stock will be determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. The shares of Common Stock issuable to Lender that would cause the Maximum Percentage to be exceeded are referred to herein as the “ Ownership Limitation Shares ”. Borrower will reserve the Ownership Limitation Shares for the exclusive benefit of Lender. From time to time, Lender may notify Borrower in writing of the number of the Ownership Limitation Shares that may be issued to Lender without causing Lender to exceed the Maximum Percentage. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall be unconditionally obligated to immediately issue such designated shares to Lender, with a corresponding reduction in the number of the Ownership Limitation Shares. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the term “4.99%” above shall be replaced with “9.99%” at such time as the Market Capitalization is less than $10,000,000.00. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, if the term “4.99%” is replaced with “9.99%” pursuant to the preceding sentence, such increase to “9.99%” shall remain at 9.99% until increased, decreased or waived by Lender as set forth below. By written notice to Borrower, Lender may increase, decrease or waive the Maximum Percentage as to itself but any such waiver will not be effective until the 61st day after delivery thereof.

22.            Liquidated Damages . Lender and Borrower agree that in the event Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of this Note, Lender’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates, future share prices, future trading volumes and other relevant factors. Accordingly, Lender and Borrower agree that any fees, balance adjustments, Default Interest or other charges assessed under this Note are not penalties but instead are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages (under Lender’s and Borrower’s expectations that any such liquidated damages will tack back to the Closing Date for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144).

FURTHER, EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PARTY IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING SUCH PARTY’S RIGHT TO DEMAND TRIAL BY JURY.
 
24.            Par Value Adjustments . If at any time Lender delivers a Conversion Notice to Borrower and as of such date the Installment Conversion Price or Lender Conversion Price, as applicable, is less than the Par Value, then the Conversion Amount or Installment Amount, as applicable, and the Outstanding Balance will each be deemed to have increased immediately prior to the delivery of the Conversion Notice in an amount equal to the Par Value Adjustment Amount (the “ Par Value Adjustment ”). The number of Conversion Shares deliverable pursuant to any relevant Conversion Notice following a Par Value Adjustment shall be equal to (a) the Adjusted Conversion Amount, divided by (b) the Par Value. Lender and Borrower also agree that the Par Value Adjustment shall occur automatically and without further action by Lender. In the event of a Par Value Adjustment, Lender will use a Conversion Notice in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D .

ATTACHMENT 1
DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this Note, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
 
A1.           “ Adjusted Conversion Amount ” means, with respect to any given Conversion Amount or Installment Amount, as applicable, subject to a Par Value Adjustment, the sum of the Conversion Amount or Installment Amount, as applicable, plus the Par Value Adjustment Amount.
 
A2.           “ Adjusted Outstanding Balance ” means the Outstanding Balance of this Note as of the date the applicable Fundamental Default occurred less any Conversion Delay Late Fees included in such Outstanding Balance.
 
A3.           “ Approved Stock Plan ” means any stock option plan which has been approved by the board of directors of Borrower and is in effect as of the Purchase Price Date, pursuant to which Borrower’s securities may be issued to any employee, consultant, officer or director for services provided to Borrower.
 
A4.           “ Bloomberg ” means Bloomberg LP (or if that service is not then reporting the relevant information regarding the Common Stock, a comparable reporting service of national reputation selected by Lender and reasonably satisfactory to Borrower).
 
A5.           “ Closing Bid Price ” and “ Closing Trade Price ” means the last closing bid price and last closing trade price, respectively, for the Common Stock on its principal market, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if its principal market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the closing bid price or the closing trade price (as the case may be) then the last bid price or last trade price, respectively, of the Common Stock prior to 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if its principal market is not the principal securities exchange or trading market for the Common Stock, the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of the Common Stock on the principal securities exchange or trading market where the Common Stock is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, is reported for the Common Stock by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices, respectively, of any market makers for the Common Stock as reported by OTC Markets Group, Inc., and any successor thereto. If the Closing Bid Price or the Closing Trade Price cannot be calculated for the Common Stock on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price or the Closing Trade Price (as the case may be) of the Common Stock on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by Lender and Borrower. If Lender and Borrower are unable to agree upon the fair market value of the Common Stock, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures in Section 16.2. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during such period.
 
A6.           “ Conversion ” means a Lender Conversion under Section 3 or an Installment Conversion under Section 8.
 
A7.           “ Conversion Factor ” means 70%, subject to the following adjustments. If at any time the average of the three (3) lowest Closing Bid Prices in the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding any date of measurement is below $0.15, then in such event the then-current Conversion Factor shall be reduced by 5% for all future Conversions (subject to other reductions set forth in this section). Additionally, if at any time after the Effective Date, Borrower is not DWAC Eligible, then the then-current Conversion Factor will automatically be reduced by 5% for all future Conversions. If at any time after the Effective Date, the Conversion Shares are not DTC Eligible, then the then-current Conversion Factor will automatically be reduced by an additional 5% for all future Conversions. Finally, in addition to the Default Effect, if any Major Default occurs after the Effective Date, the Conversion Factor shall automatically be reduced for all future Conversions by an additional 5% for each of the first three (3) Major Defaults that occur after the Effective Date (for the avoidance of doubt, each occurrence of any Major Default shall be deemed to be a separate occurrence for purposes of the foregoing reductions in Conversion Factor, even if the same Major Default occurs three (3) separate times). For example, the first time Borrower is not DWAC Eligible, the Conversion Factor for future Conversions thereafter will be reduced from 70% to 65% for purposes of this example. Following such event, the first time the Conversion Shares are no longer DTC Eligible, the Conversion Factor for future Conversions thereafter will be reduced from 65% to 60% for purposes of this example. If, thereafter, there are three (3) separate occurrences of a Major Default pursuant to Section 4.1(c), then for purposes of this example the Conversion Factor would be reduced by 5% for the first such occurrence, and so on for each of the second and third occurrences of such Major Default.

For the avoidance of doubt, if Borrower has elected or is deemed under Section 8.3 to have elected to pay an Installment Amount in Installment Conversion Shares and fails to deliver such Installment Conversion Shares, such failure shall be considered a Deemed Issuance hereunder even if an Equity Conditions Failure exists at that time or other relevant date of determination.
 
A9.           “ Default Effect ” means multiplying the Outstanding Balance as of the date the applicable Event of Default occurred by (i) 15% for each occurrence of any Major Default, or (ii) 5% for each occurrence of any Minor Default, and then adding the resulting product to the Outstanding Balance as of the date the applicable Event of Default occurred, with the sum of the foregoing then becoming the Outstanding Balance under this Note as of the date the applicable Event of Default occurred; provided that the Default Effect may only be applied three (3) times hereunder with respect to Major Defaults and three (3) times hereunder with respect to Minor Defaults; and provided further that the Default Effect shall not apply to any Event of Default pursuant to Section 4.1(b) hereof.

A20.           “ Fundamental Default Measuring Period ” means a number of months equal to the Outstanding Balance as of the date the Fundamental Default occurred divided by the Installment Amount, with such number being rounded up to the next whole month; provided, however , that if Borrower repays the entire Outstanding Balance prior to the conclusion of the Fundamental Default Measuring Period, the Fundamental Default Measuring Period shall end on the date of repayment. For illustration purposes only, if the Outstanding Balance were equal to $125,000.00 as of the date a Fundamental Default occurred and if the Installment Amount were $28,500.00, then the Fundamental Default Measuring Period would equal five (5) months calculated as follows: $125,000.00/$28,500.00 equals 4.386, rounded up to five (5).
 
A21.           “ Fundamental Default Ratio ” means a ratio that will be calculated on each Trading Day during the Fundamental Default Measuring Period by dividing the Closing Trade Price for the Common Stock on a given Trading Day by the Lender Conversion Price (as adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof) in effect for such Trading Day.

Exhibit 10.8

THIS WARRANT AND THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THIS WARRANT AND THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THIS WARRANT UNDER SUCH ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO BOSTON THERAPEUTICS, INC. THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

BOSTON THERAPEUTICS, INC.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

1.            Issuance . In consideration of good and valuable consideration as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below), including without limitation the Purchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Boston Therapeutics, Inc. , a Delaware corporation (“ Company ”); Typenex Co-Investment, LLC , a Utah limited liability company, its successors and/or registered assigns (“ Investor ”), is hereby granted the right to purchase at any time on or after the Issue Date (as defined below) until the date which is the last calendar day of the month in which the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date occurs (the “ Expiration Date ”), a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “ Warrant Shares ”) of Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), equal to $112,500.00 divided by the Market Price (as defined in the Note, as of the Issue Date), as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock (this “ Warrant ”). This Warrant is being issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 12, 2015, to which Company and Investor are parties (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “ Purchase Agreement ”).
 
Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.
 
This Warrant was issued to Investor on March 12, 2015 (the “ Issue Date ”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchase Price constitutes payment in full for this Warrant.
 
2.            Exercise of Warrant .
 
2.1.            General . This Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time commencing on the Issue Date and ending on the Expiration Date. Such exercise shall be effectuated by submitting to Company (either by delivery to Company or by email or facsimile transmission) a completed and duly executed Notice of Exercise substantially in the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit A (the “ Notice of Exercise ”). The date a Notice of Exercise is either faxed, emailed or delivered to Company shall be the “ Exercise Date ,” provided that, if such exercise represents the full exercise of the outstanding balance of this Warrant, Investor shall tender this Warrant to Company within five (5) Trading Days thereafter, but only if the Warrant Shares to be delivered pursuant to the Notice of Exercise have been delivered to Investor as of such date. The Notice of Exercise shall be executed by Investor and shall indicate (i) the number of Warrant Shares (as defined below) to be issued pursuant to such exercise, and (ii) the Exercise Price (as defined below) payable for such Warrant Shares.
 
 
1

 
 
For the purposes of this Warrant, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
 
Bloomberg ” shall mean Bloomberg LP (or if that service is not then reporting the relevant information regarding the Common Stock, a comparable reporting service of national reputation selected by Investor and reasonably acceptable to Company).
 
Closing Price ” shall mean the 4:00 P.M. last sale price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market on the relevant Trading Day(s), as reported by Bloomberg for the relevant date.
 
Exercise Price ” shall mean $0.30 per share of Common Stock, as the same may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant.
 
Market Capitalization shall mean the product equal to (A) the average VWAP of the Common Stock for the immediately preceding fifteen (15) Trading Days, multiplied by (B) the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reported on Company’s most recently filed Form 10-Q or Form 10-K.
 
Note ” shall mean that certain Convertible Promissory Note issued by Company to Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time, and including any promissory note(s) that replace or are exchanged for such referenced promissory note.
 
Principal Market ” shall mean the principal market on which the Common Stock is traded.
 
Trading Day ” means any day during which the Principal Market shall be open for business.
 
VWAP ” shall mean the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market for a particular Trading Day or set of Trading Days, as the case may be, as reported by Bloomberg.
 
(a)           The Exercise Price per share of Common Stock for the Warrant Shares shall be payable, at the election of Investor, in cash or by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer in accordance with instructions provided by Company at the request of Investor.
 
(b)           Upon the appropriate payment to Company of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares, Company shall promptly, but in no case later than the date that is three (3) Trading Days following the date the Exercise Price is paid to Company (the “ Delivery Date ”), deliver or cause Company’s Transfer Agent to deliver the applicable Warrant Shares electronically via the Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) to the account designated by Investor on the Notice of Exercise. If for any reason Company is not able to so deliver the Warrant Shares via the DWAC system, notwithstanding its best efforts to do so, such shall constitute a breach of this Warrant (and an Event of Default under the Note), and Company shall instead, on or before the applicable date set forth above in this subsection, issue and deliver to Investor or its broker (as designated in the Notice of Exercise), via reputable overnight courier, a certificate, registered in the name of Investor or its designee, representing the applicable number of Warrant Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, Company has not met its obligation to deliver Warrant Shares within the required timeframe set forth above unless Investor or its broker, as applicable, has actually received the Warrant Shares (whether electronically or in certificated form) no later than the close of business on the latest possible delivery date pursuant to the terms set forth above.
 
 
2

 
 
(c)           If Warrant Shares are delivered later than as required under subsection (b) immediately above, Company agrees to pay, in addition to all other remedies available to Investor in the Transaction Documents, a late fee equal to the greater of (i) $500.00 and (ii) 2% of the product of (1) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to Investor on a timely basis and to which Investor is entitled multiplied by (2) the Closing Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date which Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to Investor without violating this Warrant rounded to the nearest multiple of $100.00 (such resulting amount, the “ Warrant Share Value ”) (but in any event the cumulative amount of such late fees for each exercise shall not exceed 200% of the Warrant Share Value), per Trading Day until such Warrant Shares are delivered (the “ Late Fees ”). Company shall pay any Late Fees incurred under this subsection in immediately available funds upon demand; provided, however , that, at the option of Investor (without notice to Company), such amount owed may be added to the principal amount of the Note. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to Investor, in the event that Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Warrant Shares as required under subsection (b) immediately above, Investor may revoke all or part of the relevant Warrant exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to Company, whereupon Company and Investor shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the exercise of the relevant portion of this Warrant, except that the Late Fees described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to Company. Finally, as liquidated damages in the event Company fails to deliver any Warrant Shares to Investor for a period of ninety (90) days from the Delivery Date, Investor may elect, in its sole discretion, to stop the accumulation of the Late Fees as of such date and require Company to pay to Investor a cash amount equal to (i) the total amount of all Late Fees that have accumulated prior to the date of Investor’s election, plus (ii) the product of the number of Warrant Shares deliverable to Investor on such date if it were to exercise this Warrant with respect to the remaining number of Warrant Shares as of such date multiplied by the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Delivery Date (the “ Cash Settlement Amount ”). At such time that Investor makes an election to require Company to pay to it the Cash Settlement Amount, such obligation of Company shall be a valid and binding obligation of Company and shall for all purposes be deemed to be a debt obligation of Company owed to Investor as of the date it makes such election. Upon Company’s payment of the Cash Settlement Amount to Investor, the Warrant shall be deemed to have been satisfied and Investor shall return the original Warrant to Company for cancellation. In addition, and for the avoidance of doubt, even if Company could not deliver the number of Warrant Shares deliverable to Investor if it were to exercise this Warrant with respect to the remaining number of Warrant Shares on the date of repayment due to the provisions of Section 2.2, the provisions of Section 2.2 will not apply with respect to Company’s payment of the Cash Settlement Amount.
 
(d)           Investor shall be deemed to be the holder of the Warrant Shares issuable to it in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.1 on the Exercise Date.
 
2.2.            Ownership Limitation . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant or the other Transaction Documents, if at any time Investor shall or would be issued shares of Common Stock under any of the Transaction Documents, but such issuance would cause Investor (together with its affiliates) to own a number of shares exceeding 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (the “ Maximum Percentage ”), Company must not issue to Investor shares of Common Stock which would exceed the Maximum Percentage. The shares of Common Stock issuable to Investor that would cause the Maximum Percentage to be exceeded are referred to herein as the “ Ownership Limitation Shares ”. Company will reserve the Ownership Limitation Shares for the exclusive benefit of Investor. From time to time, Investor may notify Company in writing of the number of the Ownership Limitation Shares that may be issued to Investor without causing Investor to exceed the Maximum Percentage. Upon receipt of such notice, Company shall be unconditionally obligated to immediately issue such designated shares to Investor, with a corresponding reduction in the number of the Ownership Limitation Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “4.99%” above shall be replaced with “9.99%” at such time as the Market Capitalization is less than $10,000,000.00. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, if the term “4.99%” is replaced with “9.99%” pursuant to the preceding sentence, such change to “9.99%” shall be permanent. By written notice to Company, Investor may increase, decrease or waive the Maximum Percentage as to itself but any such waiver will not be effective until the 61st day after delivery thereof. The foregoing 61-day notice requirement is enforceable, unconditional and non-waivable and shall apply to all affiliates and assigns of Investor.
 
 
3

 
 
3.            Mutilation or Loss of Warrant . Upon receipt by Company of evidence satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) receipt of reasonably satisfactory indemnification, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, Company will execute and deliver to Investor a new Warrant of like tenor and date and any such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant shall thereupon become void.
 
4.            Rights of Investor . Investor shall not, by virtue of this Warrant alone, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder in Company, either at law or in equity, and the rights of Investor with respect to or arising under this Warrant are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against Company except to the extent set forth herein.
 
5.            Protection Against Dilution and Other Adjustments .
 
5.1.            Capital Adjustments . If Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide the Common Stock, by split-up or stock split, or otherwise, or combine its Common Stock, or issue additional shares of its Common Stock as a dividend, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be automatically increased proportionately in the case of a subdivision, split or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price and other applicable amounts, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 5.1 shall become effective automatically at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.
 
5.2.            Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation . In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the capital stock of Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 5.1 above), then Company shall make appropriate provision so that Investor shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock as were purchasable by Investor immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, or change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of Investor so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per Warrant Share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.
 
 
4

 
 
5.3.            Subsequent Equity Sales . If Company or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time and from time to time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of, sell or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any Common Stock (including any Common Stock issued under the Note, whether upon any type of conversion or any Deemed Issuance (as defined in the Note)), preferred shares convertible into Common Stock, or debt, warrants, options or other instruments or securities which are convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (together herein referred to as “ Equity Securities ”), at an effective price per share less than the Exercise Price (such lower price, the “ Base Share Price ,” and such an issuance, a “ Dilutive Issuance ”) (if the holder of the Equity Securities so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options, or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then (a) the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price, and (b) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to an amount equal to the number of Warrant Shares Investor could purchase hereunder for an aggregate Exercise Price, as reduced pursuant to subsection (a) above, equal to the aggregate Exercise Price payable immediately prior to such reduction in Exercise Price, provided that the increase in the number of Warrant Shares issuable under to this Warrant made pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall not at any time exceed a number equal to three (3) times the number of Warrant Shares issuable under this Warrant as of the Issue Date (for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing cap on the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall only apply to adjustments made pursuant to this Section 5.3 and shall not apply to adjustments made pursuant to Sections 5.1 , 5.2 or any other section of this Warrant). Such adjustments shall be made whenever such Equity Securities are issued. Company shall notify Investor, in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Equity Securities subject to this Section 5.3, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price, or other pricing terms (such notice, the “ Dilutive Issuance Notice ”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 5.3, upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, Investor is entitled to receive the increased number of Warrant Shares provided for in subsection (b) above at an Exercise Price equal to the Base Share Price regardless of whether Investor accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise. Additionally, following the occurrence of a Dilutive Issuance, all references in this Warrant to “Warrant Shares” shall be a reference to the Warrant Shares as increased pursuant to subsection (b) above, and all references in this Warrant to “Exercise Price” shall be a reference to the Exercise Price as reduced pursuant to subsection (a) above, as the same may occur from time to time hereunder.
 
5.4.            Notice of Adjustment . Without limiting any other provision contained herein, when any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, pursuant to the terms hereof, Company shall promptly notify Investor of such event and of the number of Warrant Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.
 
5.5.            Exceptions to Adjustment . Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.3 and 5.4, no adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be effected as a result of an Excepted Issuance. “ Excepted Issuances ” shall mean, collectively, (a) Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as any such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and in which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, and (b) Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuance or grant of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, officers and consultants, authorized by Company’s board of directors pursuant to plans or agreements which are authorized, constituted or in effect as of the Issue Date.
 
 
5

 
 
6.            Certificate as to Adjustments . In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by Company for any additional shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to Investor and any Warrant Agent (as defined below) appointed pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Nothing in this Section 6 shall be deemed to limit any other provision contained herein.
 
7.            Transfer to Comply with the Securities Act . This Warrant, and the Warrant Shares, have not been registered under the 1933 Act. None of the Warrant Shares may be sold, transferred, pledged or hypothecated without (a) an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act relating to such security or (b) an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Company that registration is not required under the 1933 Act; provided, however , that the foregoing restrictions on transfer shall not apply to the transfer of any security to an affiliate of Investor. Until such time as registration has occurred under the 1933 Act, each certificate for this Warrant and any Warrant Shares shall contain a legend, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for Company, setting forth the restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 7. Any such transfer shall be accompanied by a transferor assignment substantially in the form attached to this Warrant as Exhibit B (the “ Transferor Assignment ”), executed by the transferor and the transferee and submitted to Company. Upon receipt of the duly executed Transferor Assignment, Company shall register the transferee thereon as the new holder on the books and records of Company and such transferee shall be deemed a “registered holder” or “registered assign” for all purposes hereunder, and shall have all the rights of Investor.
 
8.            Warrant Agent . Company may, by written notice to Investor, appoint an agent (a “ Warrant Agent ”) for the purpose of issuing shares of Common Stock on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant hereto, exchanging this Warrant pursuant hereto, and replacing this Warrant pursuant hereto, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such Warrant Agent.
 
9.            Transfer on Company’s Books . Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of Company, Company may treat Investor as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
 
10.          Notices . Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in the manner provided in the subsection titled “Notices” in the Purchase Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
 
11.          Supplements and Amendments; Whole Agreement . This Warrant may be amended or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. This Warrant, together with the Purchase Agreement and all the other Transaction Documents, taken together, contain the full understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and there are no representations, warranties, agreements or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof other than as expressly contained herein and therein.
 
 
6

 
 
12.            Purchase Agreement; Arbitration of Disputes; Calculation Disputes . This Warrant is subject to the terms, conditions and general provisions of the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including without limitation the Arbitration Provisions set forth as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding the Arbitration Provisions, in the case of a dispute as to any Calculation, such dispute will be resolved in the manner set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
 
13.            Governing Law . This Warrant shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to the principles thereof regarding the conflict of laws.
 
14.            Waiver of Jury Trial . COMPANY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO DEMAND THAT ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS WARRANT OR THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PARTIES HERETO BE TRIED BY JURY. THIS WAIVER EXTENDS TO ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY ARISING UNDER COMMON LAW OR ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE, LAW, RULE OR REGULATION. FURTHER, COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING ITS RIGHT TO DEMAND TRIAL BY JURY.
 
15.            Remedies . The remedies at law of Investor under this Warrant in the event of any default or threatened default by Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and will not be adequate and, without limiting any other remedies available to Investor in the Transaction Documents, at law or equity, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.
 
16.            Counterparts . This Warrant may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Signatures delivered via facsimile or email shall be considered original signatures for all purposes hereof.
 
17.            Attorneys’ Fees . In the event of any arbitration, litigation or dispute arising from this Warrant, the parties agree that the party who is awarded the most money shall be deemed the prevailing party for all purposes and shall therefore be entitled to an additional award of the full amount of the attorneys’ fees and expenses paid by said prevailing party in connection with arbitration or litigation without reduction or apportionment based upon the individual claims or defenses giving rise to the fees and expenses. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair an arbitrator’s or a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading.
 
18.            Severability . Whenever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Warrant or the validity or enforceability of this Warrant in any other jurisdiction.
 
 
7

 
 
19.            Time of the Essence . Time is expressly made of the essence with respect to each and every provision of this Warrant.
