Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Entry into Forbearance and Settlement Agreement
On May 5, 2017, the Company entered into a Forbearance and
Settlement Agreement with a holder of certain secured convertible
notes that are in default due to various triggering events. The
holder and the Company agreed to forbear from taking any action
provided for under the secured convertible notes in exchange for
the terms provided in this agreement.
Terms of the Agreement
The Company agrees to redeem for cash all secured convertible
notes of the Company held by the holder no later than September
1, 2017.
The Company affirms that the current balance of owed principal
and accrued and unpaid interest to the holder is $1,790,213.91 as
of May 2, 2017.
The redemption price for such secured convertible notes shall be
120% (if redeemed on or prior to August 15, 2017) or 125% (if
redeemed after August 15, 2017) of the then outstanding
principal, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
During the month of May 2017, the Holder agrees to limit its
conversions of outstanding Company secured convertible notes to
$50,000 per calendar week of principal/interest.
During the months of June, July and August 2017, the holder
agrees to limit its conversions of outstanding Company secured
convertible notes to $75,000 per calendar week of
principal/interest.
During the months of May, June, July and August 2017, the holder
agrees that all outstanding Company secured convertible notes
shall bear interest at the normal stated, rather than default,
interest rate.
All conversions during the months of May, June, July and August
2017 will be at the triggering event discount conversion price as
stated in the secured convertible notes, and will continue at the
triggering event discount price until, if and when the notes are
redeemed.
Should the Company fail to redeem for cash all secured
convertible notes on or before September 1, 2017, default
interest and normal stated interest will accrue from the date of
execution of this agreement.
Offering of Unsecured Non-Convertible Notes

accredited investor in exchange for $125,000 of gross proceeds.
This investor note (i) will mature September 8, 2017 and (ii)

interest on this note are payable at maturity. This note is not
