Item
1.01 Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 20, 2017, we entered into a
securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor (the
“Buyer”) to place Convertible Debentures (the
“Debentures”) with a maturity date of one year after
the issuance thereof in the aggregate principal amount of up to
$300,000 (the “Transaction”), provided that in case of
an event of default, the Debentures may become at the
holder’s election immediately due and payable. The initial
closing of the Transaction occurred on November 20, 2017 when we
issued a Debenture for $150,000. The second closing is
scheduled for within five days of the date on which we have
received net proceeds of at least $100,000 from financing
transactions after November 1, 2017 on terms and conditions
reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer, in its sole discretion. We
intend to use the net proceeds from the Transaction to test lead
candidates from our CB101 program for their therapeutic
efficacy in in vivo rodent models of Parkinson's disease and for
general corporate purposes.
The Debentures bear interest at the rate
of 5% per annum. In addition, we must pay to the holder
a fee equal to 7% of the amount of the Debentures to assist in
their monitoring costs for the Debentures. The net proceeds of the
financing will be used for general corporate matters and for other
expenses.
The Debenture may be converted into
shares of our common stock at any time on or prior to maturity at
the lower of $0.10 or 93% of the average of the three lowest daily
VWAPs during the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding
the conversion date, provided that as long as we are not in default
under the Debenture, the conversion price may never be less than
$0.01. We may not convert any portion of a Debenture if such
conversion would result in the holder beneficially owning more than
4.99% of our then issued and common stock, provided that such
limitation may be waived by the holder with 65 days’
notice.
Any
time after the six-month anniversary of the issuance of a Debenture
that the daily VWAP is less than $0.01 for a period of twenty
consecutive trading days (the “Triggering Date”) and
only for so long as such conditions exist after a Triggering Date,
we shall make monthly payments beginning on the last calendar day
of the month when the Triggering Date occurred. Each monthly
payment shall be in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the principal
amount outstanding as of the Triggering Date divided by the number
of such monthly payments until maturity, (ii) a redemption premium
of 20% in respect of such principal amount and (iii) accrued and
unpaid interest hereunder as of each payment date. We may, no
more than twice, obtain a thirty day deferral of a monthly payment
due as a result of a Triggering Date through the payment of a
deferral fee in the amount equal to 10% of the total amount of such
monthly payment. Each deferral payment may be paid by the
issuance of such number of shares as is equal to the applicable
deferral payment divided by a price per share equal to 93% of the
average of the four lowest daily VWAPs during the 10 consecutive
Trading Days immediately preceding the due date in respect of such
monthly payment begin deferred, provided that such shares issued
will be immediately freely tradable shares in the hands of the
holder
We also entered into a Security Agreement to secure payment and
performance of our obligations under the Debentures and related
agreements pursuant to which we granted the investor a security
interest in all of our assets. The security interest
granted pursuant to the Security Agreement terminates on the
payment in full of outstanding Debentures and any interest on, or
other payments due under, the
Debentures.
On November 20, 2017, we also entered into an Amendment Agreement
with the Buyer whereby we amended the terms of three debentures
issued pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement
entered into on January 25, 2017. Those three debentures were (i) a
convertible debenture issued on January 25, 2017 in a face amount
of $300,000, (ii) a convertible debenture issued on March 2, 2017
in a face amount of $150,000 and (iii) a convertible debenture
issued on May 3, 2017 in a face amount of $150,000 (each as
amended, an “Initial Debenture”). Prior to the
Amendment Agreement, each Initial Debenture was convertible into
shares of our common stock at any time on or prior to maturity at
the lower of $0.3107 or 93% of the average of the three lowest
daily VWAPs during the 10 consecutive trading days immediately
preceding the conversion date, provided that as long as we are not
in default under the Debenture, the conversion price may never be
less than $0.05 (the “Initial Debenture Floor Price”).
The Amendment Agreement lowered the Initial Debenture Floor Price
to $0.01 and extended the maturity date of the Initial Debentures
to November 20, 2018.
Item
3.02 Unregistered
Sale of Equity Securities
The information set forth in Item 1.01 hereof is incorporated by
reference into this Item 3.02. The Debentures were
issued in reliance on exemptions from registration under Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“
Act
”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated
under the Act. This transaction qualified for exemption
from registration because among other things, the transaction did
not involve a public offering, the investor was an accredited
investor and/or qualified institutional buyer, the investor had
access to information about our company and its investment, the
investor took the securities for investment and not resale, and we
took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the
securities.

Each

Company with respect to only itself that, as of the date hereof and
as of each Closing Date:
(a)
Investment Purpose
. The Buyer
is acquiring the Securities for its own account for investment only
and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the
public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales
registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however,
that by making the representations herein, such Buyer reserves the
right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with
or pursuant to an effective registration statement covering such
Securities or an available exemption under the Securities Act. Such
Buyer does not presently have any agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the
Securities.
(b)
Accredited
Investor Status
. The Buyer is an “Accredited
Investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of
Regulation D.
(c)
Reliance
on Exemptions
. The Buyer understands that the Securities are
being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions
from the registration requirements of United States federal and
state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon
the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer’s compliance with,
the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and
understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine
the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such
Buyer to acquire the Securities.
(d)
Information
.
The Buyer and its advisors (and his or, its counsel), if any, have
been furnished with all materials relating to the business,
finances and operations of the Company and information he deemed
material to making an informed investment decision regarding his
purchase of the Securities, which have been requested by such
Buyer. The Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the
opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management.
Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations
conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its
representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer’s
right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties
contained in Section 3 below. The Buyer understands that its
investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. The
Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice, as it has
considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with
respect to its acquisition of the Securities.
(e)
Transfer
or Resale
. The Buyer understands that: (i) the Securities
have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or
transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) such
Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in
a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such Securities to
be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or
transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration
requirements, or (C) such Buyer provides the Company with
reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and broker
representation letters) that such Securities can be sold, assigned
or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act, as amended (or a successor rule thereto)
(collectively, “
Rule
144
”), in each case following the applicable holding
period set forth therein; and (ii) any sale of the Securities made
in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the
terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any
resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the
seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be
deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the
Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption
under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC
thereunder.
(f)
Legends
.
The Buyer agrees to the imprinting, so long as its required by this
Section 2(f), of a restrictive legend on the Securities in
substantially the following form:
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE [AND THOSE SECURITIES
INTO WHICH THEY ARE CONVERTIBLE] HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS. THE SECURITIES [AND THOSE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THEY ARE
CONVERTIBLE] HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED SOLELY FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND
NOT WITH A VIEW TOWARD RESALE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE,
SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT
REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS.
Certificates
evidencing the Conversion Shares shall not contain any legend
(including the legend set forth above), (i) while a registration
statement covering the resale of such security is effective under
the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Conversion
Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Conversion Shares are
eligible for sale under Rule 144, or (iv) if such legend is not
required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act
(including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by
the staff of the SEC). The Buyer agrees that the removal of
restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set
forth in this Section 3(f) is predicated upon the Company’s
reliance that the buyer will sell any Securities pursuant to either
the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any
applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption
therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a
registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the
plan of distribution set forth therein.

Buyer is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization

authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and
shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such
Buyer enforceable against such Buyer in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles
of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or
affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors'
rights and remedies.
(i)
No
Conflicts
. The execution, delivery and performance by such
Buyer of this Agreement and the consummation by such Buyer of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation
of the organizational documents of such Buyer, (ii) conflict with,
or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of

order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities
laws) applicable to such Buyer, except, in the case of clauses (ii)
and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations
which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such
Buyer to perform its obligations hereunder.
(j)
Certain
Trading Activities
. The Buyer has not directly or
indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to
any understanding with the Buyer, engaged in any transactions in
the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any

during the period commencing as of the time that the Buyer first
contacted the Company or the Company's agents regarding the
specific investment in the Company contemplated by this Agreement
and ending immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement by

indirectly, engage in any Short Sales involving the Company’s

Sales" means all "short sales" as defined in Rule 200 promulgated

transferee), the amount of Convertible Debentures held by such
Person, and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Convertible Debentures held by such Person. The
Company shall keep the register open and available at all times
during business hours for inspection of any Buyer or its legal
representatives.
(b)
Transfer Restrictions
. The
Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and
federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of
Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration
statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Buyer
or in connection with a pledge as contemplated herein, the Company
may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an
opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably
acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that
such transfer does not require registration of such transferred
Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer,
any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms
of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a
Buyer under this Agreement.
(c)
Demand Registration Rights
.
Upon thirty days’ prior written notice from the Buyers to the
Company, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a
registration statement on Form S-1 (or, if the Company is then
eligible, on Form S-3) covering the resale by the Buyers of up
60,000,000 Conversion Shares, or in the event that the SEC requires
the Company to reduce the number of Conversion Shares, such lesser
number of Conversion Shares equal to the maximum number of
Conversion Shares permitted in order to allow the Company to rely
on Rule 415 with respect to a registration statement. The Company
shall use its best efforts to have the registration statement
declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no
event later than ninety days after the date of request by the
Buyers. The Company shall furnish a draft of the registration
statement to the Buyers for their review and comment at least
twenty-four (24) hours prior to the filing thereof.
(d)
Piggy-Back Registrations
. If at
any time there is not an effective registration statement covering
all of the Conversion Shares and the Company shall determine to
prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to
an offering for its own account or the account of others under the
Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form
S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or
their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued
solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business
or equity securities issuable in connection with the stock option
or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to
each Buyer a written notice of such determination and, if within
fifteen (15) days after the date of such notice, any such Buyer
shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such
registration statement all or any part of such Conversion Shares
such Buyer requests to be registered not to exceed 60,000,000
shares.
(e)
The Company’s
registration obligations set forth in this Sections 5(c) and 5(d)
shall continue until the Conversion Shares have been sold or until
the Conversion Shares may, in the opinion of the Company’s
counsel (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Buyers), be
sold in the next 60 days without any restrictions pursuant to an
exemption from registration under the Securities Act (including
Rule 144 promulgated thereunder).

In the

to a Buyer within five (5) days of the date hereof, then such Buyer
shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this
Agreement with respect to itself at any time on or after the close
of business on such date without liability of such Buyer to any
other party. provided, however, (i) the right to terminate this
Agreement under this Section 8 shall not be available to such Buyer
if the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
to have been consummated by such date is the result of such Buyer's
breach of this Agreement and (ii) the abandonment of the sale and
purchase of the Convertible Debentures shall be applicable only to
such Buyer providing such written notice, provided further that no
such termination shall affect any obligation of the Company under
this Agreement to reimburse such Buyer for the expenses described

release any party from any liability for any breach by such party
of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel
specific performance by any other party of its obligations under
this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
(a)
Governing Law. Jurisdiction. Jury
Trial
. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed
by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule
(whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that
would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other
than the State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the
adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or
under any of the other Transaction Documents or with any
transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding,
any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in
an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or
proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives
personal service of process and consents to process being served in
any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to
such party at the address for such 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 manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed or operate to preclude any Buyer from bringing suit
or taking other legal action against the Company in any other
jurisdiction to collect on the Company's obligations to such Buyer
or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such
Buyer.
EACH PARTY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO
REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER
OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR
ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
(b)
Counterparts
. This Agreement
may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which
shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and
delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission or by an email which
contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed
signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and
binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such
signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such
signature page were an original thereof.
(c)
Headings. Gender
. The headings
of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not
form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein
shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter,
singular and plural forms thereof. The terms "including,"
"includes," "include" and words of like import shall be construed
broadly as if followed by the words "without limitation." The terms
"herein," "hereunder," "hereof" and words of like import refer to
this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they
are found.
(d)
Entire Agreement, Amendments
.
This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written
agreements between the Buyer, the Company, their affiliates and
persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters
discussed herein, and this Agreement and the instruments referenced
herein contain 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 the Company nor
any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or
undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this
Agreement may be waived or amended other than by an instrument in
writing signed by the party to be charged with
enforcement.
(e)

. Any notices, consents,
waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given
under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing by letter and

Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any
purchasers of any of the Convertible Debentures (but excluding any
purchasers of Underlying Securities, unless pursuant to a written
assignment by such Buyer). The Company shall not assign this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Buyers. In connection with any transfer of
any or all of its Securities, a Buyer may assign all, or a portion,
of its rights and obligations hereunder in connection with such
Securities without the consent of the Company, in which event such
assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to
such transferred Securities.
(g)
Indemnification
.
(i)
In consideration of
each Buyer's execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents
and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of
the Company's other obligations under the Transaction Documents,
the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each
Buyer and each holder of any Securities and all of their
stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and
direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons'
agents or other representatives (including, without limitation,
those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement) (collectively, the "
Indemnitees
") from and against any and
all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs,
penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in
connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee
is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is
sought), and including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements
(the "
Indemnified
Liabilities
"), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or
arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach
of any representation or warranty made by the Company in any of the
Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement
or obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary contained in any of
the Transaction Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit,
proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a
third party (including for these purposes a derivative action
brought on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary) or which
otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results
from (A) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any
of the Transaction Documents, (B) any transaction financed or to be
financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the
proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, or (C) any disclosure
properly made by such Buyer pursuant to Section 4(f), or (D) the
status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities either as an
investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents or as a party to this Agreement
(including, without limitation, as a party in interest or otherwise
in any action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable
relief). To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the
Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make
the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of
the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable
law.
(ii)
Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 9(g) of notice of
the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any
governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified
Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is
to be made against the Company under this Section 9(g), deliver to
the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the
Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof
with counsel mutually reasonably satisfactory to the Company and
the Indemnitee. provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have
the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of
such counsel to be paid by the Company if: (A) the Company has
agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses. (B) the Company
shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such
Indemnified Liability and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory
to such Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability. or (C) the
named parties to any such Indemnified Liability (including any
impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and the Company,
and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that a
conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to
represent such Indemnitee and the Company (in which case, if such
Indemnitee notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ
separate counsel at the expense of the Company, then the Company
shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such
counsel shall be at the expense of the Company), provided further,
that in the case of clause (C) above the Company shall not be
responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one
(1) separate legal counsel for the Indemnitees. The Indemnitee
shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with any
negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liability
by the Company and shall furnish to the Company all information
reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action
or Indemnified Liability. The Company shall keep the Indemnitee
reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or
any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Company shall
not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding
effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that
the Company shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its
consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent
of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into
any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff
to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to
such Indemnified Liability or litigation, and such settlement shall
not include any admission as to fault on the part of the
Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder,
the Company shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee
with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating
to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure
to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time
of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the
Company of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 9(g),
except to the extent that the Company is materially and adversely
prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
(iii)
The
indemnification required by this Section 9(g) shall be made by
periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the
investigation or defense, within ten (10) days after bills
supporting the Indemnified Liabilities are received by the
Company.
(iv)
The
indemnity agreement contained herein shall be in addition to (A)
any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitee against the
Company or others, and (B) any liabilities the Company may be
subject to pursuant to the law.
(h)
No Strict Construction
. The
language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language
chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules
of strict construction will be applied against any
party.

Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing:
(a)
The Secured Party
may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other
rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to
it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default
under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected
Collateral), and also may (i) take absolute control of the
Collateral, including, without limitation, transfer into the
Secured Party's name or into the name of its nominee or nominees
(to the extent the Secured Party has not theretofore done so) and
thereafter receive, for the benefit of the Secured Party, all
payments made thereon, give all consents, waivers and ratifications
in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though
it were the outright owner thereof, (ii) require each Grantor to
assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Secured
Party and make it available to the Secured Party at a place or
places to be designated by the Secured Party that is reasonably
convenient to both parties, and the Secured Party may enter into
and occupy any premises owned or leased by a Grantor where the
Collateral or any part thereof is located or assembled for a
reasonable period in order to effectuate the Secured Party’s
rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to
such Grantor in respect of such occupation, and (iii) without
notice except as specified below and without any obligation to
prepare or process the Collateral for sale, (A) sell the Collateral
or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private
sale, at any of the Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for
cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices
and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may deem
commercially reasonable and/or (B) lease, license or dispose of the
Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms as the Secured Party
may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the
extent notice of sale or any other disposition of the Collateral
shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to
such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time
after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral
is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Secured
Party shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition
of any Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.
The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time
to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and
such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and
place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor hereby waives any
claims against the Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that
the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private
sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a
public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the
Obligations, even if the Secured Party accepts the first offer
received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one
offeree, and waives all rights that such Grantor may have to
require that all or any part of such Collateral be marshaled upon
any sale (public or private) thereof. Each Grantor hereby
acknowledges that (x) any such sale of the Collateral by the
Secured Party may be made without warranty, (y) the Secured Party
may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession,
quiet enjoyment or the like, and (z) such actions set forth in
clauses (x) and (y) above shall not adversely affect the commercial
reasonableness of any such sale of Collateral.
(b)
Any cash held by
the Secured Party as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by
the Secured Party in respect of any sale of or collection from, or
other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be
applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Secured Party
pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof) by the Secured Party against, all
or any part of the Obligations in such order as the Secured Party
shall elect, consistent with the provisions of the Convertible
Debentures. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the
Secured Party and remaining after the indefeasible payment in full
in cash of all of the Obligations shall be paid over to whomsoever
shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of
competent jurisdiction shall direct.
(c)
In the event that
the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are
insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party is
legally entitled, the Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency,
together with interest thereon at the rate specified in the
Convertible Debentures for interest on overdue principal thereof or
such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with
the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses
and other client charges of any attorneys employed by the Secured
Party to collect such deficiency.
(d)
Each Grantor hereby
acknowledges that if the Secured Party complies with any applicable
state, provincial, or federal law requirements in connection with a
disposition of the Collateral, such compliance will not adversely
affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other
disposition of the Collateral.
(e)
The Secured Party
shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral
security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the
Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations
or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other
assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the
Secured Party’s rights hereunder and in respect of such
collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be
cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or
arising. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor
hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the
marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the
enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights under this
Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any
of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is
outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or
payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the
benefits of all such laws.

or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and
to pay interest ("

or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof).
This Secured Convertible Debenture (including all debentures issued
in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this "
Debenture
") was issued pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 20, 2017, (the

terms used herein are defined in Section 16.

at the option of the Holder.
(b)

Interest
. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal
balance hereof at an annual rate equal to 5% (“

number of days elapsed, to the extent permitted by applicable
law.
(c)
Monthly Payments
. If, any time
after the 6 month anniversary of the Issuance Date, and from time
to time thereafter, the daily VWAP is less than the Floor Price for
a period of 20 consecutive Trading Days (the last such day of each
such occurrence, a “
Triggering Date
”), then
the Company shall make monthly payments beginning on the last
calendar day of the month when the Triggering Date occurred. Each
monthly payment shall be in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the
Principal Amount outstanding as of the Triggering Date divided by
the number of such monthly payments until the Maturity Date, (ii)

the due date in respect of such monthly payment begin deferred,
provided that such shares issued will be immediately freely
tradable shares in the hands of the Holder.

(3)
CONVERSION OF
DEBENTURE
. This
Debenture shall be convertible into shares of the Company's Common
Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section
3.
(a)
Conversion Right
. Subject to
the provisions of Section 3(c), at any time or times on or after
the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any
portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined
below) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in
accordance with Section 3(b), at the Conversion Rate (as defined
below). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section 3(a)
shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y)
the Conversion Price (the "
Conversion Rate
"). The Company
shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any
conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a
fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such
fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.
The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes
that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of
Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.
(i)
"
Conversion Amount
" means the
portion of the Principal and accrued Interest to be converted,
redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is
being made.
(b)
"
Conversion Price
" means, as of
any Conversion Date (as defined below) or other date of
determination the lower of (i) $0.10 or (ii) 93% of the average of
the 3 lowest daily VWAPs during the 10 consecutive Trading Days
immediately preceding the Conversion Date or other date of
determination, but not lower than the Floor Price (the
“
Conversion
Price
”). The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from
time to time for any stock splits or stock dividends and pursuant
to the other terms and conditions of this Debenture.
(c)
Mechanics of
Conversion
.
(i)
Optional Conversion
. To convert
any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a
"
Conversion Date
"),
the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver),
for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date,
a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached
hereto as
Exhibit I
(the "
Conversion
Notice
") to the Company and (B) if required by Section
3(b)(iv), surrender this Debenture to a nationally recognized
overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an
indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company
with respect to this Debenture in the case of its loss, theft or
destruction). On or before the third Business Day following the
date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the "
Share Delivery Date
"), the
Company shall (X) if legends are not required to be placed on
certificates of Common Stock and provided that the Transfer Agent
is participating in the Depository Trust Company's ("
DTC
") Fast Automated Securities
Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its
designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal
Agent Commission system or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not
participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer
Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the
Conversion Notice, a certificate, 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 which certificates shall not
bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant to rules and
regulations of the Commission. If this Debenture is physically
surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this
Debenture is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion
Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as
practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days
after receipt of this Debenture and at its own expense, issue and
deliver to the holder a new Debenture representing the outstanding
Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this
Debenture shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or
holders of such shares of Common Stock upon the transmission of a
Conversion Notice.
(ii)
Company's
Failure to Timely Convert
. If within three (3) Trading Days
after the Company's receipt of the facsimile copy of a Conversion
Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to
the Holder or credit the Holder's balance account with DTC for the
number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled
upon such holder's conversion of any Conversion Amount (a
"
Conversion
Failure
"), and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder
purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock
to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving
from the Company (a "
Buy-In
"), then the Company
shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder's request
and in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder
in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions and other out of pocket expenses, if any) for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the
"
Buy-In Price
"
), at which point the Company's
obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common
Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to
deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing
such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to
the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A)
such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid
Price on the Conversion Date.
(iii)
Book-Entry
.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon
conversion of any portion of this Debenture in accordance with the
terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically
surrender this Debenture to the Company unless (A) the full
Conversion Amount represented by this Debenture is being converted
or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written
notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice)
requesting reissuance of this Debenture upon physical surrender of
this Debenture. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records
showing the Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such
conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory
to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical
surrender of this Debenture upon conversion.
(d)
Limitations on
Conversions
.
(i)
Beneficial Ownership
. The
Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this
Debenture or receive shares of Common Stock as payment of interest
hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion
or receipt of such interest payment, the Holder, together with any
affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in
accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules
promulgated thereunder) in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest. Since the
Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of
shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion
hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the
issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 4.99% of the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other
shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an
affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and
obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this
Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the
extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in
this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the
principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be the
responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has
delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of this
Debenture that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder
or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the
issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company
shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion
for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such
Conversion Date in accordance with Section 3(a) and, any principal
amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount
hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Debenture. The
provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as
to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days
prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by
any such waiver.
(e)
Other Provisions
.
(i)
The Company shall
at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized
Common Stock the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of all outstanding amounts under this Debenture;
and within three (3) Business Days following the receipt by the
Company of a Holder's notice that such minimum number of Underlying
Shares is not so reserved, the Company shall promptly reserve a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to comply with such
requirement.
(ii)
All
calculations under this Section 3 shall be rounded to the nearest
$0.0001 or whole share.
(iii)
The
Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock
solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this
Debenture and payment of interest on this Debenture, each as herein
provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual
contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, not
less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be
issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions set
forth herein) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal
amount of this Debenture and payment of interest hereunder. The
Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so
issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued
and fully paid, nonassessable and, if the Underlying Shares
Registration Statement has been declared effective under the
Securities Act, registered for public sale in accordance with such
Underlying Shares Registration Statement.
(iv)
Nothing
herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages or
declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 2 herein for the
Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares
of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein
and such 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, in each
case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The
exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from
seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or
under applicable law.
(v)
Conversion Costs.
The Company agrees to reimburse the Holder for all reasonable costs
incurred by the Holder in connection with the conversion of this
Debenture and the resale of the underlying Common Stock, which
shall include costs paid to the broker or clearing firm selected by
the Holder to deposit the underlying shares of Common Stock
(including any compliance review costs, legal costs, or other
expenses), costs incurred in connection with any legal opinions
paid for by the Holder in connection with sale of underlying shares
of Common Stock (provided that the Company has first had the
opportunity to obtain such a legal opinion on behalf of the
Holder), and brokerage costs and commissions incurred by the Holder
in connection with the resale of the underlying shares of Common
Stock. The Holder shall notify the Company of any such costs and
expenses it incurs that are referred to in this section from time
to time and all amounts owed hereunder shall be paid by the Company
on the Maturity Date.
(4)
Adjustments
to Conversion Price
(a)
Other Corporate Events
. In
addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder,
prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant
to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive
securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for
shares of Common Stock (a "
Corporate Event
"), the Company
shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will
thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this
Debenture, at the Holder's option, (i) in addition to the shares of
Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or
other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with
respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common
Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such
Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or
restrictions on the convertibility of this Debenture) or (ii) in
lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such
conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders
of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of
such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been
entitled to receive had this Debenture initially been issued with
conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to
shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration
commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to
the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance
satisfactory to the Required Holders. The provisions of this
Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate
Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on
the conversion or redemption of this Debenture.
(b)
Whenever the
Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the
Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth
the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a
brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment.
(c)
In case of any (1)
merger or consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the Company or
any subsidiary of the Company of more than one-half of the assets
of the Company in one or a series of related transactions, a Holder
shall have the right to (A) exercise any rights under Section 2(b),
(B) convert the aggregate amount of this Debenture then outstanding
into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property
receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock
following such merger, consolidation or sale, and such Holder shall
be entitled upon such event or series of related events to receive
such amount of securities, cash and property as the shares of
Common Stock into which such aggregate principal amount of this
Debenture could have been converted immediately prior to such
merger, consolidation or sales would have been entitled, or (C) in
the case of a merger or consolidation, require the surviving entity
to issue to the Holder a convertible Debenture with a principal
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Debenture
then held by such Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and
other amounts owing thereon, which such newly issued convertible
Debenture shall have terms identical (including with respect to
conversion) to the terms of this Debenture, and shall be entitled
to all of the rights and privileges of the Holder of this Debenture
set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this
Debentures were issued. In the case of clause (C), the conversion
price applicable for the newly issued shares of convertible
preferred stock or convertible Debentures shall be based upon the
amount of securities, cash and property that each share of Common
Stock would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for
such transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or
consolidation shall include such terms so as to continue to give
the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash and property
set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption
following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to
successive such events.
(5)
REISSUANCE OF THIS
DEBENTURE
.

Section 5(d)), registered in the name of the registered transferee
or assignee, representing the outstanding Principal being

immediately prior to such issuance of new Debentures), (iii) shall
have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new
Debenture, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this
Debenture, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this
Debenture, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest from
the Issuance Date.

impair the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and
unconditional, to pay the principal of, interest and other charges
(if any) on, this Debenture at the time, place, and rate, and in
the coin or currency, herein prescribed. This Debenture is a direct
obligation of the Company. As long as this Debenture is

shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a stockholder
of the Company, including without limitation, the right to vote, to
receive dividends and other distributions, or to receive any notice
of, or to attend, meetings of stockholders or any other proceedings
of the Company, unless and to the extent converted into shares of
Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof.
(9)
No indebtedness of
the Company is senior to this Debenture in right of payment,
whether with respect to interest, damages or upon liquidation or
dissolution or otherwise. Without the Holder’s consent, the
Company will not and will not permit any of their subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer
to exist any indebtedness of any kind, on or with respect to any of
its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any
interest therein or any income or profits there from that is senior
in any respect to the obligations of the Company under this
Debenture.
(10)
This
Debenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of New Jersey, without giving effect to conflicts
of laws thereof. Each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction
of the Superior Courts of the State of New Jersey sitting in Hudson
County, New Jersey and the U.S. District Court for the

shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other
breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of
this Debenture. The failure of the Holder to insist upon strict
adherence to any term of this Debenture on one or more occasions
shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right
thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any
other term of this Debenture. Any waiver must be in
writing.
(13)
If
any provision of this Debenture is invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the balance of this Debenture shall remain in
effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or
circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other
persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest
or other amount deemed interest due hereunder shall violate
applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest
due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum
permitted rate of interest. The Company covenants (to the extent
that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist
upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit
or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law
which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any
portion of the principal of or interest on this Debenture as
contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter
in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of
this indenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do
so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such
law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law,
hinder, delay or impeded the execution of any power herein granted
to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every
such as though no such law has been enacted.
(14)

other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day.
