In addition, the Company agrees to pay all interest due under the 2020 Notes in common stock and 2021 Notes in cash upon such closing. The Company is hereby granted the option to further extend the Maturity Dates for up to an additional two months, provided that for each month of extension, the Company will pay Holders $100,000, payable in the same manner as the above $300,000. No default interest or other penalties under the Transaction Documents shall apply due to the Company’s failure to pay the 2020 Notes and 2021 Notes by January 31, 2022. The Company may prepay the 2020 Notes and 2021 Notes without premium or penalty.
