The description of the Purchase Agreement and the Security Agreement (both as defined below) are incorporated by reference to Item 2.03 of the current report on Form 8-K of CNS Response, Inc.

Item 2.03
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 
On October 1, 2010, CNS Response Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with two investors.  The Purchase Agreement provides for the issuance and sale of secured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”), for cash or in exchange for outstanding convertible notes, in the aggregate principal amount of up to $3,000,000 plus an amount corresponding to accrued and unpaid interest on any exchanged notes, and warrants to purchase a number of shares corresponding to 50% of the number of shares issuable on conversion of the Notes (the “Warrants”).  The obligations of the Company under the terms of the Notes are secured by a security interest in the tangible and intangible assets of the Company, pursuant to a security agreement, dated as of October 1, 2010, by and between the Company and John Pappajohn, as administrative agent for the holders of the Notes (the “Security Agreement”).  The first closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement occurred on October 1, 2010.

On October 7 and October 12, 2010, a third and fourth investor, respectively, executed the Purchase Agreement.  In connection therewith, the Company issued Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000 and Warrants to purchase up to 999,999 shares of common stock of the Company, to such investors on such dates.   The Company received $588,000 in net proceeds from these investors.   Monarch Capital Group LLC (“Monarch”) acted as non-exclusive placement agent with respect to the placement of Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000 and related Warrants, pursuant to an engagement agreement, dated September 30, 2010, between the Company and Monarch (the “Engagement Agreement”).  Under the Engagement Agreement, in return for its services as non-exclusive placement agent, Monarch is entitled to receive (a) a cash fee equal to 10% of the gross proceeds raised from the sale of Notes to investors introduced to the Company by Monarch; (b) a cash expense allowance equal to 2% of the gross proceeds raised from the sale of Notes to such investors; and (c) five-year warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase common stock of the Company equal to 10% of the shares issuable upon conversion of Notes issued to such investors.  The Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to 110% of the conversion price of the Notes.  The terms of the Placement Agent Warrants, except for the exercise price and period, are identical to the terms of the Warrants.  In connection with the October 12, 2010 closing, Monarch received a cash fee of $10,000 and a cash expense allowance of $2,000 and will receive Placement Agent Warrants to purchase 33,333 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.33 per share. 

A more detailed description of the Notes, the Warrants, the Purchase Agreement and the Security Agreement is included in Item 2.03 of the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed on October 7, 2010 (File No. 000-26285)(the “October 7, 2010 8-K”), the Form of Note, Form of Warrant, Purchase Agreement and Security Agreement are filed as exhibits to such Form 8-K, and such description and exhibits are hereby incorporated herein by reference.  The description of the Engagement Agreement is qualified by reference to the agreement filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Form 8-K, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
