The date the Listing occurs shall be the “Determination Date.”

b. In order to secure the obligations in this Section 1.4, until delivery of the shares of Series I Preferred Stock as required by Section 1.4(a), the Assignor shall not transfer, pledge, encumber or otherwise restrict the Preferred Stock nor any of the Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock.

c. The Company agrees not to allow any transfer of the Preferred Stock while such Preferred Stock is subject to the restrictions of this Section 1.4 and will mark its transfer ledger accordingly.

In all other cases, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock shall be determined by multiplying the price the Company last sold stock in a capital raise, by 50%.

(based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b)  if the Common Stock is then reported on the OTC Bulletin Board (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market where the Common Stock trades, or (c) if the Common Stock is then reported on the OTCQX, OTCQB or OTC Pink Marketplace maintained by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the first such facility (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices).  If the Common Stock is listed on more than one Trading Market, the VWAP shall be calculated by the Trading Market that quotes the Common Stock at a lower price.
