ITEM 2.04. Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement. On December 9, 2015, Tangiers Investment Group, Inc. was issued a Promissory Note by the Company (the "Tangiers' Note). The Note, originally in the principal amount of $200,000, is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock. The number of shares to be issued upon any conversion, is determined by dividing the principal amount of the Note to be converted by the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is 55% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the Company's common stock during the ten consecutive trading days prior to the date of conversion. On August 10, 2016 the Company borrowed $125,000 from JSJ Investment, Inc. The JSJ loan bears interest at 12% per year and is due and payable on March 10, 2017. On September 12, 2016 Tangiers notified the Company that as a result of the issuance of the note to JSJ, the Company breached Section 3.00 (i) of the Tangier's Note which required the Company to provide Tangiers with the first right of refusal to provide a loan to the Company upon the same terms as the JSJ loan. As a result of the breach, Tangiers declared the Note, which had an outstanding principal balance of $65,000 on September 12, 2016, to be in default. As a result of the default claimed by Tangiers, o The principal amount of the Note increased to $81,250, o The interest rate on the Note increased to 20%, and o The Conversion Price decreased to 45%. 2
