NOW, THEREFORE, for TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

 

1.       Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meaning given to them in the May Note, the July Note and the September Note, as applicable, and the other Transaction Documents.

 

2.Amendments to May Note. The May Note is hereby amended as follows:

 

a.By replacing Section 2(f), which currently provides (as modified by Amendment No. 8 Agreement):

 

f)       Amortization. Commencing on January 2, 2019 and continuing every month thereafter on the first Business Day of such month for a period of twelve (12) months (each, an “Amortization Payment Date”), the Company shall redeem the principal amount of $309,192.71 plus accrued but unpaid interest of $41,924.43 for eleven (11) payments and the principal amount of $1,011,426.83 plus accrued but unpaid interest of $41,924.43 for the twelve (12th) payment in accordance with the Amortization Payment Schedule set forth on Schedule 2(f) (each, an “Amortization Payment”). Each Amortization Payment shall be made in cash or Bitcoin in the amounts set forth on Schedule 2(f) hereto. Any outstanding unpaid principal and accrued interest on this Note as of the Maturity Date will be due and payable on the Maturity Date in cash. The two payments that had been due and are currently in arrears from September 30 and October 31, 2018 each in the amount of $309,192.71 principal and $41,924.43 interest shall be satisfied by the issuance of 1,097,241 common shares per each payment due as requested by the Holder, provided, that there is an effective registration statement covering such shares or an exemption from registration. Should the Holder not have requested these payments in the shares noted herein by December 14, 2018, the Company shall remit USD via wire transfer in available funds $877,792.86 or Bitcoin of $965,572.15 by December 17, 2018 in full satisfaction of the two payments due in accordance to terms of the May Note.

 

And substituting in lieu thereof:

 

f)       Amortization. Commencing on January 2, 2019 and continuing every month thereafter on the first Business Day of such month for a period of twelve (12) months (each, an “Amortization Payment Date”), the Company shall redeem the principal amount of $309,192.71 plus accrued but unpaid interest of $41,924.43 for eleven (11) payments and the principal amount of $1,011,426.83 plus accrued but unpaid interest of $41,924.43 for the twelve (12th) payment in accordance with the Amortization Payment Schedule set forth on Schedule 2(f) hereto (each, an “Amortization Payment”). Each Amortization Payment shall be made in cash or Bitcoin in the amounts set forth on Schedule 2(f) hereto. Any outstanding unpaid principal and accrued interest on this Note as of the Maturity Date will be due and payable on the Maturity Date in cash. The two Amortization Payments that were due and are currently in arrears from September 30, 2018 and October 31, 2018, each in the principal amount of $309,192.71 and interest of $41,924.43 (each, a “December Payment,” and collectively, the “December Payments”), shall be satisfied by the issuance of an aggregate of 1,097,241 shares of Common Stock per each December Payment due (collectively, the “December Shares”), as requested by the Holder, in its sole discretion, in whole or in part, provided, that there is an effective registration statement covering such December Shares. Should the Holder not have requested payment of the December Payments in the December Shares noted herein by December 14, 2018, the Company shall remit to the Holder USD via wire transfer in available funds of $877,792.86 or $965,572.15 in Bitcoin by December 17, 2018 in full satisfaction of the December Payments due in accordance with the terms of the May Note. The Amortization Payment due on January 2, 2019, in the principal amount of $309,192.71 and interest of $41,924.43 (the “January Payment”), shall be satisfied by the issuance of an aggregate of 877,793 shares of Common Stock (the “January Shares”), as requested by the Holder, in its sole discretion, in whole or in part, provided, that there is an effective registration statement covering such January Shares. Should the Holder not have requested payment of the January Payment in the January Shares noted herein by December 31, 2018, the Company shall remit to the Holder USD via wire transfer in available funds of $351,117.14 or $386,228.85 in Bitcoin by January 2, 2019 in full satisfaction of the January Payment due in accordance with the terms of the May Note. If the Holder requests payment of the December Payments and the January Payment to be made in December Shares and January Shares, respectively, upon the sale of the December Shares and January Shares the Holder’s daily sales shall be limited to not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock traded on that day. Further, in the event that the sale of the December Shares and/or the January Shares does not each net to the Holder proceeds at least equal to 103% of the amount of the December Payment and the January Payment, respectively, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall pay the difference to the Holder in cash (the “True-Up Cash”). The Company shall pay the True-Up Cash to the Holder within ten (10) Trading Days after the Holder requests such payments and delivers to the Company a spreadsheet evidencing its trades.
