Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment to Letter of Intent

As previously reported, on September 13, 2018, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “CannAssist LOI”) with CannAssist, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (“CannAssist”), setting forth the terms and conditions upon which we propose to form an 80/20 joint venture with CannAssist, of which we would own 80%. CannAssist plans to build out a recreationally licensed cultivation grow facility in Leicester, Massachusetts (the “Leicester Facility”). The planned Leicester Facility is in possession of its host community agreement and has applied for a recreational license and is awaiting state approval. We intend to use a portion of the net proceeds of our 2018 Convertible Debenture Offering to fund construction activities at the Leicester Facility. We have not entered into any definitive agreements regarding the transactions contemplated by the CannAssist LOI, and there is no guarantee that these transactions will close.

On November 7, 2018, we amended the CannAssist LOI to extend the termination date to January 15, 2019 and further amended it effective January 15, 2019 to extend the termination date to July 1, 2019.

Loan Transaction

On January 29, 2019, the Company made a line of credit loan to CannAssist, in the principal amount of up to $500,000, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of January 29, 2019 between CannAssist as the Borrower and the Company as the Lender (the “Loan Agreement”). Any draws on the line of credit in excess of $150,000 will only be made in the sole discretion of the Company. The Loan is evidenced by a secured promissory note of CannAssist (the “Note”), which bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is personally guaranteed by the two equity owners of CannAssist. Assuming we proceed with the joint venture, it is contemplated that this loan will be rolled into longer term financing and the personal guarantees will be extinguished. If we do not enter into the joint venture, payments on the loan will commence on July 1, 2019 and the Note will mature on December 1, 2019.

To secure the obligations of CannAssist to the Company under the Loan Agreement and the Note, the Company and CannAssist entered into a Security Agreement dated as of January 29, 2019 (the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which CannAssist granted to the Company a first priority lien on and security interest in all personal property of CannAssist.

The description of the Loan Agreement, the Note and the Security Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of these documents that have been filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
