On February 26, 2020, we issued an unsecured note (the "Initial Note") in the principle aggregate amount of $200,000, which becomes due two years after the date of issuance. This Initial Note bears interest on the unpaid balance at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum. The Company may prepay this Initial Note without notice, subject to a two percent (2%) pre-payment penalty.

On November 18, 2020, we issued two additional unsecured notes (the "Additional Notes)" in the principle aggregate amount of $500,000, together with the Initial Note, the "Notes" become due two years after the date of issuance.

On June 30, 2021, we entered into a Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with one of the Company’s directors. The Company can borrow up to $4,550,000 under this Credit Agreement. On November 19, 2021, a payment of $200,000 was paid toward the principal balance of the loan. The loan is secured by all of our tangible and intangible assets including intellectual property. We will begin repaying the principal amount, plus accrued interest, in 24 equal monthly installments commencing on June 30, 2022, and ending on June 30, 2024. This loan bears interest on the unpaid balance at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum. The Company may prepay this loan without notice, penalty or charge. In consideration of the lender’s agreement to provide the facility, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.67 per share in connection with the issuance of funds under this Credit Agreement. The warrants are exercisable for a period commencing upon issuance of the notes and ending 36 months after issuance of the financing. In addition, the Company has agreed to issue to the lender additional warrants entitling the lender to purchase a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to twenty percent (20%) of the amount of the advances made divided by the volume weighted average price over the 30 trading days preceding the advance ( the "VWAP"). Each warrant will be exercisable over a three year period at an exercise price equal to the VWAP.
