1.1. Each of the Parties agree that Section 4.1 of the Note be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“4.1 The Company agrees to pay interest to the Holder on the Principal Amount at the rate of 18.0% per annum, compounded annually, until November 30, 2018 and at the rate of 8.0% thereafter until the Maturity Date.

1.2. Each of the Parties agree that Section 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4 of the Note be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“5.1 The Parties agree that the Principal Amount and any Initial Interest that remains unpaid will, at the election of the Holder, be convertible into Conversion Shares subject to the limitations set forth in this Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, this Note shall not be convertible by the Holder, and the Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note or otherwise issue any Conversion Shares pursuant hereto, to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder and any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the issued and outstanding Shares after such conversion. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Note shall be convertible (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder and its affiliates) shall, subject to the Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to convert this Note or to issue Conversion Shares pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 5.1 with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. For purposes of this Section 5.1, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this Section 5.1 shall only be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 5.1 to correct this Section 5.1 (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to the Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 5.1 shall apply to a successor holder of this Note. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Shares then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Shares, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Note. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% specified in such notice; provided that: (a) any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (b) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder sending such notice.”
“5.2 In order to effect any conversion under this Note and subject to the limitations set forth in this Note, the Holder must provide written notice (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company setting out the portion of the Principal Amount and any Initial Interest that remains unpaid that is to be converted into Conversion Shares.”
“5.4 The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of any Initial Interest that remains unpaid shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) by (y) where (x) is equal to the amount of Initial Interest that is to be converted and (y) is the Conversion Price.”

1.3. Each of the Parties agree that Section 7.1 and 7.2 of the Note be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“7.1 Subject to Sections 5 and 7 of this Note, the Company shall pay to the Holder the Principal Amount, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in cash on the Maturity Date. The Company may, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, upon ten calendar days’ prior written notice to the Holder (a “Prepayment Notice”), prepay any portion of the Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, without the prior written consent of the Holder, provided that at the time of such prepayment the Holder is able to convert all amounts being prepaid without exceeding the Maximum Percentage.”
“7.2 The Prepayment Notice shall set forth the date on which prepayment is to occur, such date being no earlier than ten calendar days after the date of the Prepayment Notice and no later than the Maturity Date (in any case, the “Prepayment Date”), and shall set forth that portion of the Principal Amount to be prepaid, along with the accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as through and including the Prepayment Date (the “Prepayment Amount”).”
1.4. Each of the Parties agree that Section 8.2 of the Note be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“8.2 If any Event of Default occurs, subject to any cure period, the full Principal Amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall become, at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash. Upon payment of the full Principal Amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts owing under this Note, this Note shall promptly be surrendered to or as directed by the Company. The Holder need not provide and the Company hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately, subject to any cure period, enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by the Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a Note holder until such time, if any, as the full payment of amounts owing under this Note shall have been received by it. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.”
1.5. Each of the Parties agree that Section 9.1 of the Note be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“9.1 Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holder hereunder, including, without limitation, any Conversion Notice, shall be in writing, addressed to the Company, and delivered personally or by facsimile, email or overnight courier service to: 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxxx X., Xxx Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, XXX; Email: xxxxx.xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx, Attn: Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, or such other email address or physical address as the Company may notify the Holder of from time to time in accordance with Section 9.2.”
