PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 13. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

Set forth below is an estimate (except for registration fees, which are actual) of the approximate amount of each type of fees and expenses listed below that were paid or are payable by us in connection with the issuance and distribution of the shares of common stock to be registered by this registration statement. None of the expenses listed below are to be borne by any of the selling stockholders named in the prospectus that forms a part of this registration statement.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Neither our articles of incorporation nor bylaws prevent us from indemnifying our officers, directors and agents to the extent permitted under the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”). NRS Section 78.7502, provides that a corporation may indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation against expenses, including fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any defense to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to Section 78.7502(1) or 78.7502(2), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.

NRS 78.7502(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

NRS Section 78.7502(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals there from, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

NRS Section 78.747 provides that except as otherwise provided by specific statute, no director or officer of a corporation is individually liable for a debt or liability of the corporation, unless the director or officer acts as the alter ego of the corporation. The court as a matter of law must determine the question of whether a director or officer acts as the alter ego of a corporation.

Our charter provides that we will indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the extent and in the manner permitted by the provisions of the NRS, as amended from time to time, subject to any permissible expansion or limitation of such indemnification, as may be set forth in any stockholders’ or directors’ resolution or by contract. Any repeal or modification of these provisions approved by our stockholders will be prospective only and will not adversely affect any limitation on the liability of any of our directors or officers existing as of the time of such repeal or modification. We are also permitted to apply for insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent for liability arising out of his actions, whether or not the NRS would permit indemnification.

Our bylaws provide that a director or officer of the Company shall have no personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for damages for breach of fiduciary duty resulting from (a) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law, or (b) the payment of dividends in violation of section 78.3900 of the NRS as it may from time to time be amended or any successor provision thereto.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On May 31, 2017, the Company entered into separate subscription agreements with accredited investors relating to the issuance and sale of $546,694 of shares of Series J Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $150.00 per share. Each share of Preferred Series J is convertible into 0.4444 shares of the company’s common stock, each subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, subdivisions or other similar events, as subject to adjustment as set forth in the Series J certificate of designation. The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the Series J Preferred Stock to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the investor would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series J Preferred Stock. Each Series J Preferred Stock entitles the holder to cast one vote per share of Series J Preferred Stock owned as of the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote, subject to the 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation.

In connection with the Series J Offering, the Company obtained the consent of certain shareholders, as required under the agreements entered into by the Company and issued shares pursuant to applicable anti-dilution obligations. The Company is required to issue to certain prior investors of Series G Preferred Stock additional shares of Series G Preferred Stock, which would be convertible into an aggregate of 17,247 shares of the Company’s common stock. However, in lieu of issuing such additional shares of Series G Preferred Stock, the Company will create a new series of preferred stock, to be designated as “Series K Preferred Stock” and will issue to such holders of Series G Preferred Stock an aggregate of 25,870 shares of Series K Preferred Stock, each of which shall be convertible into (100/150th)/15 shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, in order to proceed with the Series J Offering, the Company agreed to issue additional shares of Series F Preferred Stock and Series H Preferred Stock to certain prior investors. However, in lieu of issuing such additional shares of Series F Preferred Stock and Series H Preferred Stock, the Company issued to such holders of Series F Preferred Stock and Series H Preferred Stock an aggregate of 46,789 shares of Series K Preferred Stock, each of which are convertible into (100/150^th)/15 shares of the Company’s common stock, or 31,193 shares. In addition, certain creditors of the Company were also entitled to anti-dilution protection from issuances and as a result such creditors were, at the closing of the Series J Offering, issued an aggregate of 5,117 shares of Series K Preferred Stock convertible into 3,412 shares of common stock in full satisfaction of payments owed to them.

On March 20, 2018, the Company issued 1,688 shares of its common stock, for rounding adjustments in regard to the 1 for 150 reverse split, which further split on August 19, 2019 to 113, in regard to the 1 for 15 reverse split.

On May 10, 2018, we issued 1,333 shares of our Series J Preferred Stock at their stated value of $150.04 per share to one investor, for total proceeds of $200,000. Our Series J Preferred Stock is currently convertible to common stock at a price of $22.50 per share and votes on an as-converted basis, subject to certain conversion limitations.

On May 11, 2018, we designated a new series of Preferred Stock entitled “Series L Preferred Stock.” Our Series L Preferred Stock consists of 6,667 shares with a stated value of $150.00 per share. Series L Preferred Stock is convertible to common stock at a price of $60.00 per share and votes together with our common stock on an as-converted basis.

On May 14, 2018, we issued a total of 2,000 Units to 3 investors at a price of $150.00 per Unit, for total proceeds of $300,000. Each Unit consists of 1/15th share of Series L Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 2/15th shares of common stock at a price of $60.00, exercisable for three years.

The following table describes the capital raised as described above:

On May 14, 2019, we entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, for an aggregate $805,000. The note bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum, has a term of three years and is convertible into 8,050,000 shares of our common stock, post-split.

On August 27, 2019, the Company issued 1,283 shares of its common stock, for rounding adjustments in regard to the 1 for 15 reverse split, as approved by FINRA on August 19, 2019.

On August 21, 2020, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “NPA2”) by and among the Company and certain lenders set forth on the lender schedule to the NPA2 (the “Lenders”). Pursuant to the terms of the NPA2, the Company sold an aggregate principal amount of $933,000 of its convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”). The Notes are general, unsecured obligations of the Company and bear simple interest at a rate of 6% per annum, and mature on the third anniversary of the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”), to the extent that the Notes and the principal amounts and any interest accrued thereunder have not been converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. In the event that any amount due under the Notes is not paid as and when due, such amounts will accrue interest at the rate of 12% per year, simple interest, non-compounding, until paid. The Company may not pre-pay or redeem the Notes other than as required by the Agreement. The Note holders have an optional right of conversion such that a Noteholder may elect to convert his Note, in whole or in part, outstanding as of such time, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock as determined by dividing the outstanding indebtedness by $0.20, subject to certain adjustments. This optional right of conversion is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the share issuance upon conversion. The holders of the Notes are granted demand registration rights and pre-emptive rights. In addition, the NPA2 includes customary events of default, including, among others: (i) non-payment of amounts due thereunder, (ii) non-compliance with covenants thereunder, (iii) bankruptcy or insolvency. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, a majority of the Holders may accelerate the maturity of the Indebtedness. The closing of this offering took place on August 21, 2020.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers, or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-1 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
