Restructure Agreement, the investors agreed to return and cancel their collective 55,481,868 restricted Company common shares,
received from the prior conversion of their older convertible notes, in exchange for the Company’s issue to them of recast
convertible promissory notes. Accordingly, on the same date, these investors were each issued a First Priority Secured Promissory
Note, in the principal amount of $2,383,667.77 and $545,606.96, respectively.
In

expansion plans in Colorado and California
