On February 23, 2015, the Company entered into Promissory Note Amendment No. 2 (the “CNE Note Amendment”) with Lender amending the CNE Note (i) to extend the Maturity Date to May 31, 2016 (the “Extended Maturity Date”), and (ii) to institute principal payments in the amount of $15,000 per month plus interest through the Extended Maturity Date, and a balloon payment of $610,000 due on the Extended Maturity Date. All the other terms and conditions of the CNE Note will remain effective and in force through the Extended Maturity Date. The Lender is neither an affiliate of, nor a related party to, the Company.

In consideration of Lender’s agreement to enter into the CNE Note Amendment, the Company has agreed to issue Lender 60,000 shares of its common stock.

The forgoing description is a summary only, does not purport to set forth the complete terms of the CNE Note Amendment, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the CNE Note Amendment filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Also as previously reported, on December 30, 2011, the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Laufer Note”) with Mayer Laufer (“Laufer”), in the principal sum of $575,000. The Laufer Note was amended on May 24, 2013 to extend its maturity date to December 30, 2015 (the “Laufer Note Maturity Date”).

On February 23, 2015, the Company entered into Convertible Promissory Note Amendment No. 2 (the “Laufer Note Amendment”) with Laufer amending the Laufer Note (i) to extend the Laufer Note Maturity Date to December 30, 2016 (the “Extended Laufer Note Maturity Date”), (ii) to institute principal payments in the amount of $15,000 per month plus interest through the Extended Laufer Note Maturity Date, and a balloon payment of $230,000 due on the Extended Laufer Note Maturity Date, and (iii) to delete Laufer’s conversion rights, in their entirety, under the Laufer Note. All other terms and conditions of the Laufer Note will remain effective and in force through the Extended Laufer Note Maturity Date. Laufer is neither an affiliate of, nor a related party to, the Company.

In consideration of Laufer’s agreement to enter into the Laufer Note Amendment, the Company has agreed to issue Laufer 40,000 shares of its common stock.

The foregoing description is a summary only, does not purport to set forth the complete terms of the Laufer Note Amendment, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Laufer Note Amendment filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
