On December 6, 2017, Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a securities exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with BayBridge Capital Fund LP (“Investor”).

In exchange, the Company issued to the Investor an unsecured promissory note with an aggregate principal amount of $840,000.00 (the “Exchange Note”).
Terms of the Exchange Note
The Exchange Note will mature on December 6, 2018. Principal and interest on the Exchange Note will be payable in a lump sum on December 6, 2018.

The Exchange Note contains standard and customary events of default including but not limited to: (i) failure to make payments when due under the Exchange Note, and (ii) bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company.
Payments of principal and accrued interest on the Exchange Note are payable in cash or, at the option of the Company, in shares of Common Stock at a variable conversion price equal to the lowest of (i) 85% of the average VWAP for the shares over the prior five trading days, (ii) the closing bid price for the shares on the prior trading day, or (iii) $0.003 per share
Payments in shares of Common Stock may not be issued pursuant to the Exchange Note if, after giving effect to the conversion or issuance, the holder together with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
