These payments together with reductions in the principal and interest made in the fourth quarter 2021 through a conversion to common shares, leaves a total balance due on the note of $386,000.00.  The amendment which also altered the Maturity Date to May 31, 2022 calls for the balance to be paid in the following amounts on the following dates; $100,000.00 on March 31, 2022, $150,000.00 on April 30, 2022 and $136,000.00 on May 31, 2022.  As long as these payments are made Labrys has agreed not to make any conversions under the note.  A similar amendment was made to the Labrys $230,000.00 note dated June 2, 2021 such that there will be no conversions under the note as long as the note is repaid in two equal payments of $127,650.00 on May 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022.  The maturity date of the note was amended to June 30, 2022. 

The Company entered into a forbearance agreement with Leonite Capital Inc. (“Leonite”) for their note dated July 12, 2020 which limits certain collection activities for payment defaults until June 28, 2022.  The current conversion price being employed on the note is $.001 per share.
