(1) On September 25, 2020, BD 1 Investment Holding,
LLC (“BD1”) purchased from seven original noteholders unsecured promissory notes issued by the Issuer from January
2017 through May 2020 (“Original Notes”). Certain of the Original Notes were convertible into the Issuer’s Common

the Issuer issued to BD1 two unsecured convertible promissory notes with principal amounts of $10,340,000 and $160,000 (together,
the “Exchange Notes”) solely in exchange for the Original Notes without the payment of any additional consideration.
The Exchange Notes are convertible at any time until the Exchange Notes are fully paid into 105,000,000,000 Common Shares at a
fixed conversion price equal to $0.0001 per share. The Common Shares have registration rights granted by the Issuer pursuant to
the Exchange Agreement.

18,102,583,471 Common Shares issued and outstanding as
of January 29, 2021 as reported by the Issuer’s Form 10-K filed on January 29, 2021, and 105,000,000,000 Common Shares issuable
