On August 14, 2014, AC Midwest, the Issuer and the Issuer’s wholly-owned subsidiary entered into a series of agreements, including a certain Financing Agreement (the “Original Financing Agreement”), pursuant to the terms of which AC Midwest purchased from the Issuer a 12% senior secured convertible note in the principal amount of $10 million (the “Original Convertible Note”) and a five year warrant (the “First Warrant”) to purchase up to an additional 12,500,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. The First Warrant was subject to percentage based anti-dilution protection requiring that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon its initial exercise not be less than an amount equal to 15% of the Issuer’s then outstanding shares of capital stock on a fully diluted basis (the “First Warrant Shortfall Shares”).

On March 16, 2015, the above-referenced parties entered into series of amendments related to the Original Financing Agreement, including (i) a Wavier and Amendment to Financing Agreement and Reaffirmation of Guaranty (the “Amended Financing Agreement”), pursuant to which the Issuer made a $3 million payment toward the principal balance of the Original Convertible Note and the conversion price of the Original Convertible Note was adjusted to $0.50 per share of Common Stock, and (ii) an amendment to the First Warrant, pursuant to which the exercise price of the First Warrant was adjusted to $0.50 per share of Common Stock.

On November 16, 2015, the above-referenced parties entered into a second series of amendments related to the Amended Financing Agreement (the “Second Amended Financing Agreement”), pursuant to which AC Midwest purchased from the Issuer an additional 12% senior secured convertible note in the principal amount of $600,000 with a conversion price of $0.50 per share of Common Stock (the “Second Convertible Note” and, together with the Original Convertible Note, the “Convertible Notes”) and a five year warrant to purchase up to an additional 3,600,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share of Common Stock (the “Second Warrant”). The Second Warrant was subject to percentage based anti-dilution protection requiring that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon any exercise date not be less than an amount equal to 4.3% of the Issuer’s then outstanding shares of capital stock on a fully diluted basis (the “Second Warrant Shortfall Shares”). As of November 29, 2016, the outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Notes together with all accrued interest thereon was $9,646,686.08.

On January 28, 2016, the above-referenced parties entered into a third series of amendments related to the Second Amended Financing Agreement (the “Third Amended Financing Agreement” and, together with the Original Financing Agreement, Amended Financing Agreement and Second Amended Financing Agreement, the “Financing Agreement”), pursuant to which AC Midwest caused its bank to issue a standby letter of credit on behalf of the Issuer, in consideration of, among other things, the Issuer’s issuance of a five year warrant to purchase up to an additional 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share of Common Stock (the “Third Warrant” and, together with the First Warrant and Second Warrant, the “Warrants”). The Third Warrant was subject to percentage based anti-dilution protection requiring that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon its initial exercise not be less than an amount equal to 7.2% of the Issuer’s then outstanding shares of capital stock on a fully diluted basis (the “Third Warrant Shortfall Shares” and, together with the First Warrant Shortfall Shares and Second Warrant Shortfall Shares, the “Warrant Shortfall Shares”).

On November 1, 2016, the above-referenced parties entered into an amended and restated Financing Agreement (the “Restated Financing Agreement”), pursuant to which AC Midwest agreed to (i) surrender the Convertible Notes in exchange for a new senior secured note in the principal amount of $9,646,686.08 (the “Secured Note”), and a subordinated note in the principal amount of $13,000,000, and (ii) exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis to acquire 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) and surrender the remaining unexercised portion of the Warrants for cancellation. AC Midwest also agreed to enter into a lock-up agreement with respect to the Warrant Shares pursuant to which, subject to limited exception, it would agree not to dispose of any of the Warrants Shares for a period of 365 days from the closing date.

The completion of the transactions contemplated in the Restated Financing Agreement were subject to, among other things, the Issuer’s completion of an equity offering raising at least $10 million in gross proceeds prior to December 31, 2016 (the “Qualifying Offering”). The Restated Financing Agreement also provided for the prepayment of the Secured Note in an amount equal to $5,000,000 from the net cash proceeds of the Qualifying Offering (the “Qualifying Offering Payment”).

On November 14, 2016, the Issuer entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional and accredited investors, including AC Midwest, for a Qualifying Offering pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of 11,214,968 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.20 per share for gross proceeds of $13,457,961.60 (the “Offering”). AC Midwest agreed to purchase 1,700,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Offering Shares” and, together with the Warrant Shares, the “Subject Securities”) in the Offering for an aggregate purchase price of $2,040,000.00 (the “AC Midwest Purchase Price”). On November 15, 2016, the Issuer and AC Midwest entered into a certain supplemental agreement pursuant to the terms of which the parties agreed to offset the amount of the AC Midwest Purchase Price against the Qualifying Offering Payment. The Offering closed on November 18, 2016.

On November 29, 2016, the transactions contemplated by the Restated Financing Agreement closed and AC Midwest (i) surrendered the Convertible Note, (ii) effected a net cashless exercise of the First Warrant, acquiring 8,248,299 Warrant Shares (with 4,251,701 share being withheld by the Issuer to pay the exercise price), (iii) effected a net cashless exercise of the Second Warrant, acquiring 1,751,701 Warrant Shares (with 902,939 share being withheld by the Issuer to pay the exercise price), and (iv) surrendered the unexercised portion of the Warrants, which included 26,924,824 Warrant Shortfall Shares.

The foregoing descriptions of the Original Financing Agreement, First Warrant, Amended Financing Agreement, Second Amended Financing Agreement, Second Warrant, Third Amended Financing Agreement, Third Warrant, Restated Financing Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the respective agreements, which are incorporated herein by reference to Exhibits 99.2 through 99.10.
