The information provided below in “Item
2.03 – Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of Registrant”
and “Item 3.02 – Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities” of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated
by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item 2.03 Creation
of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of Registrant
On January 29, 2016, CV Sciences, Inc.
(the “Company”) issued a Promissory Note (the “Note”) to Wiltshire, LLC (the “Lender”) in the
principal amount of Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($850,000) in consideration of a loan provided to the Company by the Lender.
Under the terms of the Note, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Lender delivered to
the Company Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) on January 29, 2016, and shall deliver the sum of Three Hundred Five Thousand
Dollars ($305,000) no later than February 2, 2015, for an aggregate amount of Eight Hundred Five Thousand Dollars ($805,000) (the
“Purchase Price”). The principal amount of the Note reflects the Purchase Price, plus $15,000 in legal fees paid to
the Lender, plus an “Original Issue Discount” of $30,000.
The Note bears interest at twelve percent
(12%) per annum, calculated and payable monthly, not in advance. The Company is obligated to make monthly interest-only payments
in the amount of Eight Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($8,500), due on the first (1st) day of each month commencing March
1, 2016. All principal and accrued and unpaid interest is due under the Note on February 1, 2018. The Company has the right to
prepay the Note without penalty or premium, provided that if a prepayment of principal is made before July 1, 2016, the Lender
is entitled to a prepayment interest guarantee equal to six (6) months’ interest payments on the Note. If the Company does
not pay the full amount of each monthly payment within thirty (30) days of the date it is due, the Company would be in default
under the Note and, at such time, the Lender may in its discretion accelerate the Note and demand repayment of all principal and
interest outstanding.
Item 3.02 Unregistered
Sales of Equity Securities
The information provided above in “Item
2.03 – Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of Registrant”
of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.
Pursuant to the terms of the Note, and
in consideration for the loan evidenced by the Note, the Company on January 29, 2016 issued to the Lender a common stock purchase
warrant providing the Lender with the right to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant”).
The Warrant is exercisable, subject to certain limitations described below, subsequent to July 1, 2017 and before the date that
is five (5) years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.20 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence
of certain events such as stock splits and dividends. At no time may the Lender exercise the Warrant for the greater of (A) one
percent (1%) of the outstanding common stock of the Company, and (B) the average weekly trading volume, excluding any public offerings
of the Company, during four (4) calendar weeks prior to the exercise of the Warrant. A copy of the Warrant is filed as Exhibit
2.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The issuance of the Warrant is exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), in reliance on exemptions from the registration
requirements of the Act in transactions not involved in a public offering pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D, as promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act.
Item 7.01 Regulation
FD Disclosure
On February 2, 2016, the Company issued

Notes originally issued by the Company to Redwood Management, LLC. A copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1

FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
CV SCIENCES, INC., a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), promises to pay to WILTSHIRE, LLC, whose
address is 4690 West Evans Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80219 (“Lender”), or its registered assigns, in lawful money
of the United States of America, the principal sum of Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($850,000) (the “Amount”),
or such lesser amount as shall equal the outstanding principal amount hereof, together with interest from the date of this Note
on the unpaid principal balance at a rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum, calculated and payable monthly, not in advance.
The purchase price
for this Promissory Note (this “Note”) is $805,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Amount shall
be funded by the delivery to Borrower of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) on or before January 29, 2016, with the remaining
Three Hundred Five Thousand Dollars ($305,000) funded by Lender no later than February 2, 2016. The Amount is comprised of the
Purchase Price, Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000) to cover Lender’s legal expenses incurred, and an original issue discount
(“OID”) of $30,000.
The following is a
statement of the rights of Lender and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which Lender, by the acceptance of this
Note, agrees:
1.
Repayment. Interest due shall accrue as of the date of closing with monthly interest-only payments in the amount
of Eight Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($8,500) due each month on the 1st day of each month commencing March 1, 2016
with interest-only payments based on a 360 day year and a 30 day month. Payments must be received by the 10th of the
month of each month or a late fee of $850 will be assessed.
2.
Maturity; Prepayment. The entire principal sum and all interest accrued thereon shall be due on February 1, 2018.
This Note may be prepaid at any time; however, if a prepayment of principal is made before July 1, 2016, Lender requires a prepayment
interest guarantee equal to six (6) months’ interest payments on this Note.
3.
Warrants. In consideration for the loan provided for in this Note, Borrower shall issue to Lender a common stock
purchase warrant for 2,000,000 shares of Borrower’s common stock, with a five-year exercise period and an exercise price
equal to $0.20 per share.
4.
Events of Default. If Borrower does not pay the full amount of each monthly payment within 30 days of the date it
is due, Borrower will be in default. If any payment due under this Note is not paid prior to its default date, as defined in this
section, the entire outstanding principal balance, and all accrued interest thereon, shall at once become due and payable at the
option of Lender. Lender may exercise this option to accelerate during any default by Borrower regardless of any prior forbearance
by Lender. In the event of any breach or other default, Lender reserves the right to increase the interest rate by five percent
(5%) above the interest rate in effect at the time of breach or default; however, if Lender does not elect to increase the interest
rate subsequent to a breach or default, this Note shall continue to bear interest at the rate set forth herein. All sums extended
to Borrower, or to others on behalf of Borrower, by Lender shall earn interest at the Note rate in effect, and as determined, under
the terms of the Note. Should any interest not be paid when due, it shall bear like interest as the principal.
5.
Assignment. The rights and obligations of Borrower and Lender shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns,
heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties. All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made by Borrower without
any rights of setoff or counterclaim.
6.
Amendment. This Note may be amended or modified only upon the written consent of Borrower and Lender. Any amendment
effected in accordance with this Section 6 shall be binding upon Lender and Borrower and each of their respective successors
and assigns.
7.
Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any power, right or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege
preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing hereunder
are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
8.
Severability. In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute
or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict herewith and shall be deemed
modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Note.
9.
Governing Law. This Note and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Note shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the State
of California or of any other state.
Borrower has caused this Note to be issued as of the date first
written above.

NEITHER THIS WARRANT
NOR THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON ITS EXERCISE HAS BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED
OF UNLESS (I) PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT OR (II) IN COMPLIANCE WITH AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM AND ACCOMPANIED, IF
REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY, WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS
BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM (UNLESS SUCH TRANSFER IS TO AN AFFILIATE OF THE HOLDER).
CV SCIENCES, INC.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE
COMMON STOCK
FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, CV Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby grants to Wiltshire, LLC (“Holder”),
the right to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (“Shares”). The exercise price
per Share (the “Purchase Price”) of the warrants granted hereby shall equal $0.20 per Share. The Purchase Price
and the number of Shares purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 of this Warrant. This Warrant
may be exercised at any time and from time to time (the “Exercise Period”) subsequent to July 1, 2017 but prior
to the five (5) year anniversary of the date hereof (the “Expiration Date”). This Warrant shall expire and be
of no further force or effect at the earlier of the time when it has been exercised or 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration
Date.
1. Exercise
of Warrant.
a. This
Warrant may be exercised at any time and from time to time by the Holder during the Exercise Period, subject to the following limitations:
during any ninety (90) day period, the Holder may only exercise this Warrant for the greater of the following:
i. One
percent (1%) of the outstanding common stock of the Company; and
ii. The
average weekly trading volume, excluding any public offerings of the Company, during four (4) calendar weeks prior to the exercise
of this Warrant, as reported (A) on national securities exchanges or an automated quotation system of a registered securities association,
or (B) under an effective transaction reporting plan/national market system plan.
b. The
Holder shall exercise this Warrant by surrendering this Warrant, together with a Notice of Exercise in the form appearing at the
end hereof properly completed and duly executed by the Holder or on behalf of the Holder by the Holder’s duly authorized
representative, to the Company at its principal executive office (or at the office of the agency maintained for such purpose).
The Warrants may be exercised at any time prior to expiration by providing ten (10) day notice to the Company.
c. In
the event of an exercise of this Warrant, certificates for the Shares purchased pursuant to such exercise shall be delivered to
the Holder within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or has expired,
a new Warrant representing the portion of the Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not then have been exercised
shall also be issued to the Holder within such ten day period. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant and such Notice of Exercise,
together with the applicable aggregate Purchase Price, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Shares purchased
pursuant to such exercise, notwithstanding that certificates representing such Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the
Holder or that such Shares are not then set forth on the stock transfer book of the Company.
2. Net
Exercise. In lieu of cash exercising this Warrant, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant
(or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant to the Company together with notice of such election, in which
event the Company shall issue to the Holder hereof a number of Shares computed using the following formula:
Where:
X -- The number of Shares to be issued to the
Holder.
Y -- The number of Shares purchasable under
this Warrant.
A -- The fair market value of one Share.
B -- The Purchase Price (as adjusted to the
date of such calculations).
For purposes of this Section
2, the fair market value of a Share shall mean the average of the closing bid and asked prices of Shares quoted in the over-the-counter
market in which the Shares are traded or the closing price quoted on any exchange on which the Shares are listed, whichever is
applicable, as published in the Western Edition of The Wall Street Journal for the ten (10) trading days prior to the date of determination
of fair market value (or such shorter period of time during which such stock was traded over-the-counter or on such exchange).
If the Shares are not traded on the over-the-counter market or on an exchange, the fair market value shall be the price per Share
that the Company could obtain from a willing buyer for Shares sold by the Company from authorized but unissued Shares, as such
prices shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
3. Adjustments.
a. Stock
Dividends - Split Ups. If, after the date hereof, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased
by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split up of shares of Common Stock, or other similar event, then,
on the effective date of such stock dividend, split up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise
of each Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock. No fractional shares will
be issued.
b. Aggregation
of Shares. If after the date hereof, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation,
combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date
of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable on exercise of each Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock. No
fractional shares shall be issued.
c. Adjustments
in Exercise Price. Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is
adjusted as described above, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Purchase Price immediately
prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon
the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares
of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.
d. Replacement
of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock (other than a change covered by adjustments described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares
of Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation
or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets
or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved,
the Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified
in the Warrants and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon
the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including
cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such
sale or transfer, that the Holder would have received if such Holder had exercised his, her or its Warrant(s) immediately prior
to such event; and if any reclassification also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by stock dividends, stock
splits or an aggregation of shares, then such adjustment shall be made as described above. The provisions relating to
the adjustments in exercise price shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations,
sales or other transfers.
e. Notices
of Changes in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the Purchase Price or the number of shares issuable upon exercise
of a Warrant, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the Purchase Price resulting
from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise
of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Upon
the occurrence of any event specified above, then, in any such event, the Company shall give written notice to each Holder, at
the last address set forth for such holder in the warrant register, of the record date or the effective date of the event. Failure
to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.
4. Covenants.
a. No
Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter as in effect on the date hereof or through any reorganization,
recapitalization, transfer of all or a substantial portion of its assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed
or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all the provisions of
this Warrant and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of the
Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value
of any shares of Common Stock obtainable upon the exercise of this Warrant and (b) take all such actions as may be necessary
or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon
the exercise of this Warrant.
b. Reservation
of Shares. So long as the Warrant shall remain outstanding, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free
from preemptive rights, out of its authorized capital stock, for the purpose of issuance upon exercise of the Warrant, the full
number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Warrant. If the Common Stock shall be listed on any national
stock exchange, the Company at its expense shall include in its listing application all of the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrant at any time, including as a result of adjustments in the outstanding Common Stock or otherwise.
c.
Validity of Shares. All shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable and will be free of restrictions on transfer, other than restrictions on transfer under applicable
state and federal securities laws, and will be free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than
taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously or otherwise specified herein). The Company shall take all such actions
as may be necessary to ensure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or
governmental regulation or any requirements of any domestic stock exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed (except
for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).
d. Notice
of Certain Events. If at any time, (1) the Company shall declare any dividend or distribution payable to the holders of
its Common Stock, (2) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of Common Stock any additional shares
of capital stock of any class or any other rights, (3) there shall be any recapitalization of the Company or consolidation
or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets to, another corporation or business organization,
or, if sooner, promptly following any agreement to do any of the foregoing, or (4) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give the registered
Holder of this Warrant ten days’ prior written notice (or such other time period set forth in the Company’s Articles
of Incorporation).
5. Legend.
Each certificate for Shares issued upon the exercise of the Warrant, each certificate issued upon the direct or indirect transfer
of any Shares and each Warrant issued upon direct or indirect transfer or in substitution for any Warrant shall be stamped or otherwise
imprinted with legends in substantially the form set forth on the face of this Warrant.
6. Ownership
of Warrants. The Company may treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register kept at the principal
executive office of the Company (or at the office of the agency maintained for such purpose) as the owner and holder thereof for
all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Subject to the preceding sentence, a Warrant, if properly assigned, may
be exercised by a new holder without a new warrant first having been issued.
7. Replacement
of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation
of any Warrant and, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender of such Warrant for cancellation at the principal executive
office of the Company (or at the office of the agency maintained for such purpose), the Company at its expense will execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor and dated the date hereof.
8. Remedies.
In the event of a breach by the Company of any of its obligations under this Warrant, the Holder, in addition to being entitled
to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under
this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason
of its breach of any of the provisions of this Warrant.
9. No
Liabilities or Rights as a Stockholder. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities
on the Holder as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
Until the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not have nor exercise any rights by virtue hereof as a stockholder of the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event (a) the Company effects a split of the Common Stock by means of a stock
dividend and the Purchase Price of and the number of Shares are adjusted as of the date of the distribution of the dividend (rather
than as of the record date for such dividend), and (b) the Holder exercises this Warrant between the record date and the distribution
date for such stock dividend, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, on the distribution date, the stock dividend with respect
to the shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise, notwithstanding the fact that such shares were not outstanding as of
the close of business on the record date for such stock dividend.
10. Permits
and Taxes. The Company shall, at its own expense, apply for and obtain any and all permits, approvals, authorizations,
licenses and orders that may be necessary for the Company lawfully to issue the Shares on exercise of this Warrant. On exercise
of this Warrant, the Company shall pay any and all issuance taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of
the Shares. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay, and Holder shall pay, any tax that may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of the Shares in a name other than that of Holder, and no such issuance and
delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issuance shall have paid to the Company the amount of any such
tax or shall have established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that such tax has been paid.
12. Acquisition
for Own Account. The Holder is acquiring this Warrant with its own funds, for its own account, not as a nominee or agent.
The Holder is purchasing or will purchase this Warrant for investment for an indefinite period and not with a view to any sale
or distribution thereof, by public or private sale or other disposition.
13. Section
Headings. The section headings in this Warrant are for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof.
14. Amendments
or Waivers. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in
writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.
15. Counterparts.
This Warrant may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument.
16. Severability.
The provisions of this Warrant will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof will not
affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Warrant, as applied
to any party or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a court or other governmental body not to be enforceable in accordance with
its terms, the parties agree that the court or governmental body making such determination will have the power to modify the provision
in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its
reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.
17. Successors
and Assigns. This Warrant shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Holder and its assigns, and shall be binding
upon any entity succeeding to the Company by consolidation, merger or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets. The Company may not assign this Warrant or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Holder. Holder may assign this Warrant without the Company’s prior written consent.
18. Transfer.
Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth on the face of this Warrant, this Warrant and all rights hereunder may be transferred,
in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant with a properly executed assignment at the principal executive office of the
Company.
19. Governing
Law. This Warrant and the performance of the transactions and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed and
enforced in accordance with and governed by the laws, other than the conflict of laws rules, of the State of Delaware.

company could, on 10 days’ advance notice, prepay the debt obligations together with a 30% premium. The company prepaid a
total of $535,081 in principal and interest under the notes, and $160,524 in prepayment premium.
“By
prepaying this debt, not only have we retired outstanding convertible debt obligations, but we have avoided having this debt converted
at steeply discounted prices,” stated Michael Mona, Jr., President and CEO of CV Sciences, Inc. “This prepayment benefits
our shareholders by limiting further downward pressure on our stock created by the discounted conversions in a market for our stock
already impacted by short positions in advance of conversions,” continued Mr. Mona.
By prepaying
this debt, the company avoided issuing up to 9,000,000 shares of its common stock on conversion of the debt. After the prepayment
of this debt, CV Sciences continues to have obligations to its investors on its fourth, and final tranche of Convertible Promissory
Notes in the amount of $255,000, as of February 2, 2016. The company issued this debt on September 16, 2015. The company is engaged
in efforts to secure further bridge financing to prepay the fourth, and final tranche of Convertible Promissory Notes.
The company
secured funds to effectuate the prepayments by an unsecured, non-convertible promissory note issued to Wiltshire, LLC in the principal
amount of $850,000. As more specifically set forth in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by CV Sciences, Inc. on February 2,
2016, the promissory note bears interest at 12% per annum. The note matures in 24 months and provides for installment payments
of $8,500 per month.
