Funding - Tranche 1

Tranche 1 funding totalling US$100,000 will be provided to the Company by the Shareholders by way of a secured convertible facility ("Tranche 1 Facility") with a Face Value of $120,000 ("Face Value"), the agreed amount to be repaid by the Company over the term of the agreement. Tranche 1 will be drawn down on or before 19th October 2016. The Tranche 1 Facility will have a 0% interest rate per annum, a 24 month term and will be secured against the Company's assets. Subject to the Company receiving all necessary shareholders consents, it is also agreed that the Shareholders will be given the option to convert any outstanding Face Value amounts into ordinary shares in the Company at a price per Share equal to the lower of 0.02 pence or, in the event that the nominal value per Share is reduced in the future, 90% of the average of three daily VWAP's, chosen by the Investor, during the 20 trading days before the conversion ("Conversion Price").

Upon funding the Tranche 1 Facility, the Company has agreed, subject to obtaining all necessary shareholder approvals and consents, to issue the Shareholders options to acquire shares equal to 100% coverage at the time of funding (the "Options"). If granted the Options will be exercisable for 36 months with an exercise price equal to

  1. pence.

    Funding - Tranche 2

    The Tranche 2 funds can only be advanced at the discretion of the Shareholders. Subject to receiving all necessary shareholder approvals and consents, it is agreed that the Shareholders will have the option to convert the Tranche 2 funds into ordinary shares, on the same terms as the Tranche 1 funds are converted. In addition, it is agreed that subject to receiving all necessary shareholder consents and approvals the Company will also issue the Shareholders options equal to 100% of the total value of the Tranche 2 face value, which is US$100,000 (the "Additional Options"). If granted the Additional Options will be exercisable for 36 months with an exercise price exercise price equal to 0.04 pence.

    Further updates will be provided when the Tranche 2 monies are drawn down. The additional terms of the loan are set out below.
