These Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes) were issued in consideration for the sale by GGI and VTG to the Company of certain proprietary assets, intellectual property and know pursuant to a written Asset Purchase Agreement dated January 16, 2014.

Pursuant to the terms of these convertible promissory notes, the holders have the right to convert any portion of the principal amount thereof at the average of the Company’s share closing price over the last 7 trading days prior to the holder’s election to convert.

The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the issuance of the foregoing shares pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder since, among other things, the transaction does not involve a public offering, the purchasers are “accredited investors” and/or qualified institutional buyers, the purchasers have access to information about the Company and its purchase, the purchasers will take the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company is taking appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.
