On November 28, 2012, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Consent, Note Amendment and Warrant Forfeiture Agreement dated October 24, 2012, between the Company and the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount outstanding (“Majority Holders”) of each tranche of the Company’s convertible promissory notes issued (the October 2010 Notes, the January 2011 Notes, the October 2011 Notes and the February 2012 Note), all of such notes were amended to (a) extend the maturity date of October 1, 2013, (b) set the conversion price at $1.00, subject to adjustment as provided in the notes and (c) remove full-ratchet anti-dilution protection. In addition, the holders forfeited the warrants they received in connection with the issuance of the notes, and consented to the 2012 Bridge Financing, the issuance of the October 2012 Notes and to the subordination of their notes to these October 2012 Notes. The holders of the above mentioned notes included the following directors or entities beneficially owned by them: John Pappajohn, Walter Schindler, Andrew Sassine, Zachary McAdoo and former director George Kallins. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Paul Buck, was also a note holder. As a condition of the November 28, 2012 closing of the 2012 Bridge Financing, the Company also entered into Employment Compensation Forfeiture and Exchange Agreements (“Forfeiture and Exchange Agreements”) with three of its executive officers, George Carpenter, Paul Buck and Michael Darkoch. Pursuant to these agreements, the executives agreed to waive receipt of and release the Company from the payment of 50% of their salaries accrued from August 31, 2010 to September 30, 2012 (amount waived was $56,250 for George Carpenter, $66,083 for Paul Buck and $43,333 for Michael Darkoch), in consideration for which the Company agreed to issue to such executives a certain number of shares of its Common Stock (56,250 for George Carpenter, 66,083 for Paul Buck and 43,333 for Michael Darkoch). Any remaining accrued salary remains outstanding and shall be paid (i) from time to time at the discretion of the Board to the extent the Board determines that such payment will not jeopardize the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern; or (ii) upon the closing of any single financing transaction (including a single financing transaction that contemplates multiple closings) in which the Company receives proceeds of $5 million or more. Additionally, where applicable, the executives agreed to waive receipt of and release the Company from the payment of any previously approved bonus award. Under the agreements, the Company agreed to indemnify the executives for all federal and state income tax payable and actually paid by the executive related directly to the receipt of the Common Stock, the per share value of which was not expected to be more than the conversion price of the October 2012 Notes which was $0.04718 per share. On February 6, 2013, the Company filed with the SEC Schedule 14f-1 in connection with the change in a majority of the Board. The 14f-1 was mailed to stockholders of record by February 13, 2013. On December 10, 2012, the Board had approved the appointment of the “New Board Members” to the Board of the Company to fill vacancies. The New Board Members took office as directors on February 25, 2013. Messrs. Turner and Sassine were appointed to the Board as nominees of Equity Dynamics, Inc. (“Equity Dynamics”), an entity owned by Board member John Pappajohn, pursuant to the terms of the governance agreement, dated November 28, 2012, between the Company and Equity Dynamics. Messrs. Tierney and Follman were appointed to the Board as nominees of SAIL Capital Partners, which is affiliated with Board member Walter Schindler, pursuant to the terms of the governance agreement, dated November 28, 2012, between the Company and SAIL Capital Partners. On August 12, 2013, all of the holders of $1.00 convertible notes (“$1 Note(s)”) (see Note 4 above) converted $1 Note(s) in the aggregate principal amount of $6,363,900, plus $1,359,400 in accrued interest thereon, into shares of Common Stock at the price of $0.25 per share. The conversion followed an amendment of the Notes to permit a temporary reduction in the conversion price from $1.00 per share to $0.25 per share. All $1 Note holders consented to the amendment and converted their Notes and interest thereon at a conversion price of $0.25 per share of Common Stock with the resultant issuance of 30,893,419 shares. The $1 Note holders included four affiliates of the Company:
On October 8, 2013, the Board granted to the Company’s two executive officers and two senior managers (collectively, the “Managers”) options to purchase shares of its Common Stock pursuant to the 2012 Option Plan at an exercise price of $0.25 per share as follows: George Carpenter 435,000 shares, Paul Buck 470,000 shares, Stewart Navarre 385,000 shares and Brian MacDonald 310,000. These options vest pro-rata over 12 months starting from the date of grant. Pursuant to the Employment Compensation Forfeiture and Exchange Agreement dated December 16, 2013, the Managers agreed to forego a portion of their salaries in fiscal year 2014 as follows: George Carpenter $98,000, Paul Buck $106,500, Stewart Navarre $83,600 and Brian MacDonald $66,700. These Managers were paid out of the salaries earned and accrued during fiscal years 2012 and 2013. The accruals to be paid out were equivalent to the fiscal year 2014 salaries that each of the Managers agreed to forego in lieu of receiving options. Transactions with Henry T. Harbin, Former Director
Dr. Henry Harbin resigned his directorship on November 18, 2012, by which time the Company had accrued $90,000 to be paid on Dr. Harbin’s consulting agreement.

These renewal options would engage Dr. Harbin for his consulting services through December 2015. As compensation for his new consulting services, on January 14, 2013 Dr. Harbin was granted options to purchase 850,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.04718 per share. These shares vest evenly over 36 months starting at the date of the grant.
