PAYMENT DATA SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ:PYDS) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 7, 2017, we agreed to provide up to $500,000 to Singular
Payments, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, under a
secured line of credit promissory note. Interest on the note does
not accrue until the earlier of May 31, 2017, the date of closing
and funding our proposed acquisition of Singular Payments or the
termination of a non-binding letter of intent regarding the
proposed acquisition, or until such mutually agreed upon extended
date. Thereafter, interest will accrue at a rate of ten percent
per annum. Upon an event of default, interest will accrue at the
maximum lawful rate or 15% per annum. The line of credit matures
on November 1, 2019.

If the Singular Payments acquisition closes before interest
accrues any unpaid principal amount will be offset against the
cash portion of the purchase price. If the acquisition does not
close on or before interest accrues, any unpaid principal amount
plus interest will have to be paid in 30 equal monthly
installments. The note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any
time and without a penalty.

The line of credit is secured by a security agreement of the same
date granting a first security interest over all of Singular
Payments property, inventory, proceeds, intellectual property,
among others, a membership interest pledge agreement over 50% of
all Singular Payments, LLC membership interests, and a personal
guaranty agreement by Vaden Landers, the sole owner of Singular
Payments.
