THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT

The closing of the Private Placement is conditioned upon the closing of the Share Exchange; provided, however, in no way is the closing of the Private Placement conditioned upon a minimum amount raised by the Company in the Private Placement, or the closing of the Series A Private Placement or the Bridge Financing. Subscribers of securities in the Private Placement will not have the opportunity to vote on the Share Exchange prior to its completion.
The full terms of the Private Placement are set forth below under the heading entitled “Subscription Procedures.”
THE SERIES A PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Immediately following the closing of the Share Exchange, the Company will also close a private placement of Series A preferred stock, $.001 par value (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) with a lead investor for $5.0 million (the “Series A Private Placement”).

For every four (4) shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased by the investor, the investor will receive one (1) warrant to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $.75 per share. Fractional warrants received by the investor will be rounded down. The warrants will have a “cashless” exercise provision and will be exercisable for five (5) years from the closing date of the Series A Private Placement.
All funds received in the Series A Private Placement will be held by the Escrow Agent and, upon fulfillment of the other conditions precedent set forth in the offering documents, will be released from escrow and delivered to the Company, at which time the securities subscribed for will be delivered to the investor.
The completion of the Private Placement is conditioned upon the closing of the Share Exchange; provided, however, in no way is the closing of the Private Placement conditioned upon the closing of the Series A Private Placement. Subscribers of securities in the Series A Private Placement will not have the opportunity to vote on the Share Exchange prior to its completion.

Immediately after the closing of the Series A Private Placement, the investor in the Series A Private Placement will own in the aggregate approximately 7,142,857 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 1,785,714 shares of Common Stock underlying the warrant.
The holder of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to additional rights, preferences and privileges, including, but not limited to, liquidation, anti-dilution, conversion, voting and registration rights, as more fully described in the Memorandum under the heading “Summary of the Series A Private Placement.”
THE BRIDGE FINANCING
Immediately following the closing of the Share Exchange, the Company will close a bridge financing with investors for up to $5.0 million (the “Bridge Financing”). The convertible promissory notes to be issued in connection with the Bridge Financing will bear interest at 10% per annum. The outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable on the earlier of (i) three (3) months from the closing date of the Bridge Financing (the “Maturity Date”), and (ii) the consummation of the Company’s anticipated PIPE financing with institutional investors for at least $25.0 million, net of offering expenses (the “PIPE”). As consideration for making loans to the Company, the bridge note holders will be entitled to a 5% origination fee. In addition, the bridge note holders will receive one (1) warrant to purchase (1) share of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $.75 per share, for every $3.50 invested in the Company in connection with the Bridge Financing (the “Bridge Warrants”). The Bridge Warrants shall have a “cashless” exercise provision and shall be exercisable for three (3) years from the closing date of the Bridge Financing.
Upon the earlier to occur of the Maturity Date or the consummation of the PIPE, the bridge note holders will be entitled to repayment (in cash or in Common Stock) equal to 25% in excess of the principal and accrued interest then due and outstanding under the terms of the notes (the “Repayment Amount”). At such time, the bridge note holders will have the right to convert (in whole or in part) 110% of the Repayment Amount into shares of Common Stock of the Company at the fair market value of each share of Common Stock, or at the price per share of Common Stock sold to investors in the PIPE, as the case may be.
Upon the consummation of the PIPE, the Company will file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) covering, for the bridge note holders, 100% of their shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Repayment Amount (if any), and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Bridge Warrants. The bridge note holders will be entitled to the same registration rights as the set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, governing the registration rights of the investors in the Private Placement.
The completion of the Private Placement is conditioned upon the closing of the Share Exchange; provided, however, in no way is the closing of the Private Placement conditioned upon the closing of the Bridge Financing. Subscribers of securities in the Bridge Financing will not have the opportunity to vote on the Share Exchange prior to its completion.
CAPITALIZATION
Upon completion of the Share Exchange and after giving effect to the Private Placement and Series A Private Placement, the ownership of the Company will be approximately as follows (excluding, (i) the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants to be issued to the investors in the Private Placement, (ii) the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrant to be issued to the investor in the Series A Private Placement, (iii) the shares of Common Stock underlying the outstanding convertible promissory notes that may be issued to the bridge note holders in connection with the Bridge Financing and (iv) the shares of Common Stock underlying the Bridge Warrants to be issued to the bridge note holders in connection with the Bridge Financing):
3
Percentage of | ||||
| Ownership(1) | |||
| | |||
Old NDCI Stockholders | 13.1 | % | ||
Former Stratos Stockholders | 58.9 | % | ||
Private Placement Investors | 18.7 | % | ||
Series A Private Placement Investor | 9.3 | % |
(1) Based on 76,428,571 shares of capital stock issued and outstanding (assuming all 7,142,857 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are converted into Common Stock on a 1:1 basis).
If the bridge note holders elect to convert any or all of their notes at the Maturity Date or upon the consummation of the PIPE, investors in the Private Placement could suffer dilution in terms of their percentage ownership in the Company. In addition, if any of the warrant holders exercise their warrants prior to the expiration of the term of such warrants, the Company may be required to issue a significant number of shares of Common Stock to such warrant holders, which could result in dilution to the investors in the Private Placement.
