As of the date of this Agreement, exclusive of amounts due to Xxxxxx pursuant to the Convertible Note, Xxxxxx is owed by Regen the principal amount of $75,900 USD resulting from Notes Payable issued by Regen to Xxxxxx (“Regen Notes”) and Xxxxxx is owed $4,328 USD resulting from interest accrued but unpaid on the Regen Notes (“Accrued Interest”).
