Convertible Promissory Notes payable to Old Main Capital, LLC (“Old Main”) dated March 18, 2016, April 22, 2016 and May 27, 2016 as amended on October 6, 2016 and November 28, 2016, for the purchase of up to $333,333 in 10% Original Issue Discount Convertible Promissory Notes (the “10% Notes”).  These notes originally bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum, which increased to 15% effective August 1, 2016. Initially, Old Main could, at its option, convert all or a portion of the notes and accrued but unpaid interest into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.80 per share (post Reverse-Split) (the “Fixed Conversion Price”).  The Fixed Conversion Price is subject to adjustment if, at any time while this note is outstanding, the Company should issue any equity security with an effective price per share that is lower than the Fixed Conversion Price (the “Base Conversion Price”), other than certain exempt issuances.  In such an instance, the Fixed Conversion Price will be lowered to match the Base Conversion Price.  Originally, at the earlier of October 18, 2016 or two trading days after the registration statement related to the Company’s equity line was declared effective, the Company must begin to redeem 1/24th of the face amount of the notes and any accrued but unpaid interest on a bi-weekly basis. Such amortization payments could be made, at the Company’s option, in cash or, subject to certain conditions, in common stock pursuant to a conversion rate equal to the lower of (a) $0.80 or (b) 75% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock in the twenty consecutive trading days immediately prior to the conversion date.  The Company recognized a discount of $330,188 on the 10% Notes related to the value of the original issue discount and embedded derivative at time of issuance. 
 
On October 6, 2016, the 10% Notes were amended to increase the interest rate to 15% (effective August 1, 2016) and subsequently amended November 28, 2016 to convert the 10% Notes from installment notes to “balloon” notes, with all principal and accrued interest due on September 18, 2017.  In exchange for amending the terms of the 10% Notes, the Company increased the outstanding principal balance by 10% to $366,666. In addition the Fixed Conversion Price was changed to a variable conversion price equal to the lesser of the prior Fixed Conversion Price or 75% of the lowest VWAP in the fifteen trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date.  This November 28, 2016 amendment required an extinguishment analysis of the 10% Notes resulting in the gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $172,618 during the nine months ended February 28, 2017.  The gain on extinguishment of debt was included in additional paid in capital during the nine months ended February 28, 2017.  The 10% Notes were revalued as of the November 28, 2016 amendment and the Company recognized a discount of $366,666 on the value of the embedded derivative. During the three months ended February 28, 2017 Old Main converted an aggregate of $100,000 of principal, in six transactions, into 828,173 shares of common stock. . At February 28, 2017 and May 31, 2016, the amount of discount remaining on these notes was $264,276 and $326,132, respectively.   During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2017, the Company accrued interest in the amount of $12,649 and $34,959, respectively, on these notes.

Convertible promissory note payable to Old Main dated March 18, 2016 and amended  on October 6, 2016 and November 28, 2016, and bearing interest at a rate of 8% (the “8% Note”).  The 8% Note was issued for Old Main’s commitment to enter into an equity line transaction with the Company and prepare all of the related transaction documents.  Originally, Old Main could, at its option, convert all or a portion of the note and accrued but unpaid interest into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.07 per share (post Reverse-Split) (the “8% Fixed Conversion Price”).  The 8% Fixed Conversion Price is subject to adjustment if, at any time while this note is outstanding, the Company should issue any equity security with an effective price per share that is lower than the 8% Fixed Conversion Price (the “8% Base Conversion Price”), other than certain exempt issuances.  In such an instance, the 8% Fixed Conversion Price will be lowered to match the 8% Base Conversion Price.   Originally, at the earlier of February 3, 2017 or the effectiveness of the registration statement related to the Company’s equity line, the Company must begin to redeem 1/6th of the face amount of the note and any accrued but unpaid interest on a monthly basis. Such amortization payment could be made, at its option, in cash or, subject to certain conditions, in common stock pursuant to a conversion rate equal to the lower of (a) $1.07 (post Reverse-Split) or (b) 75% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock in the twenty consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that is immediately prior to the applicable conversion date.  The Company recognized a discount of $172,108 on the value of the embedded derivative at the time of issuance.  
 
On November 28, 2016, the 8% Note was amended converting the note from an installment note to a “balloon” note, with all principal and accrued interest due on March 18, 2017.  In addition the Fixed Conversion Price was changed to a variable conversion price equal to the lesser of the prior Fixed Conversion Price or 75% of the lowest VWAP in the fifteen trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the conversion date.  The November 28, 2016 amendment required an extinguishment analysis of the 8% Note resulting in  gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $81,496 for the nine months ended February 28, 2017.  The gain on extinguishment of debt was included in additional paid-in capital at  February 28, 2017.  The 8% Note was revalued as of the November 28, 2016 amendment and the Company recognized a discount of $169,476 on the value of the embedded derivative. At February 28, 2017 and May 31, 2016, the amount of discount remaining on these notes was $118,998 and $163,586, respectively.    During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2017, the Company accrued interest in the amount of $3,945 and $11,967, respectively, on this note.

Beneficial Conversion Features

The 10% Notes and the 8% Note (collectively, the “2016 Convertible Notes”) contain conversion features that create derivative liabilities. The pricing model the Company used for determining fair value of its derivatives is the Lattice Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management’s judgment and may impact net income.  The derivative component of the 2016 Convertible Notes was valued at November 28, 2016, the date of the second amendment to the 2016 Convertible Notes, and at period end. The following assumptions and key inputs were used for the valuation of the derivative liability related to the 2016 Convertible Notes at November 28, 2016 and February 28, 2017:
