The dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock is indexed to the Company's stock price and subject to adjustment. In addition, the Series A Preferred Stock contains a make-whole provision whereby, conversion or redemption of the preferred stock within 4 years of issuance will require dividends for the full four year period to be paid by the Company in cash or common stock (valued at 10% below market price, but not to exceed the lowest closing price during the applicable measurement period). The Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of common stock at the option of the Company if the closing price of the common stock exceeds $232 , as adjusted, for 20 consecutive trading days, or by the holder at any time. The Company has the right to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $8.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, plus the make-whole amount (if applicable). At September 30, 2017 , the preferred shares were not eligible for conversion to common shares at the option of the Company. The holder of the preferred shares may convert to common shares at any time, at no cost, at a ratio of 1 preferred share into 1 common share (subject to standard ratable anti-dilution adjustments). Upon any conversion (whether at the option of the Company or the holder), the holder is entitled to receive any accrued but unpaid dividends and also any make-whole amount (if applicable).

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after payment or provision for payment of debts and other liabilities of the Company, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, pari passu with any distribution to the holders of common stock of the Company, an amount equal to $8.00 per share of Series A Preferred Stock plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. As of September 30, 2017 , there were 60,756 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. SERIES E PREFERRED STOCK AND THE COMMITTED EQUITY LINE Series E Preferred Stock On November 4, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a private investor to issue 2,800 shares of Series E Preferred Stock in exchange for $2,800,000 . Shares of the Series E Preferred Stock (including the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) are convertible, at the option of the holder, into common stock at a variable conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the two lowest VWAPs of the Company's common stock for the ten consecutive trading day period prior to the conversion date. If certain defined default events occur, the conversion price would thereafter be reduced (and only reduced), to equal 70% of the average of the two lowest VWAPs of the Company's common stock for the twenty consecutive trading day period prior to the conversion date. The private investor had available to them a new conversion price beginning on June 9, 2016 as a result of the Series H Preferred Stock transaction further described in Note 14. Shares of the Series E Preferred Stock are now convertible, at the option of the private investor, into common stock at a variable conversion price equal to 70% of (i) the lowest VWAP of our common stock for the ten consecutive trading day period prior to the conversion date or (ii) the lowest closing bid price of our common stock for the ten consecutive trading day period prior to the conversion date.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the holder converted dividends in the amount of $11,948 on the Series E Preferred Stock, resulting in the issuance of 25,160,171 shares of common stock. On September 30, 2017, the Company paid $2,013 in cash. The Company has issued 18,000 shares of common stock to the private investor as a commitment fee relating to the Series E Preferred Stock. Costs associated with the Series E Preferred Stock, such as legal fees and commitment shares are capitalized and reported as deferred financing costs on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total gross debt issuance cost incurred by the Company related to the Series E Preferred Stock was $104,000 . These debt issuance costs will be recognized as additional interest expense over the life of the Series E Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2017 , all outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock, along with all accrued dividends, had either been converted or redeemed. Pursuant to a number of factors outlined in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , the conversion option in the Series E Preferred Stock was deemed to include an embedded derivative that required bifurcation and separate accounting. As such, the Company ascertained the value of the conversion option as if separate from the convertible issuance and appropriately recorded that value as a derivative liability. At December 31, 2016 the fair value of the derivative liability was $140,748 . At September 30, 2017, the Company recorded the reduction of the remaining embedded derivative associated with the Series E Preferred Stock of $121,390 as a gain in the "Change in fair value of derivatives and gain/(loss) on extinguishment of liabilities, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 . The net gain recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $140,748 , to properly reflect the elimination of the embedded derivative as of September 30, 2017 . The Committed Equity Line On November 10, 2015, the Company and the private investor entered into a committed equity line purchase agreement (the "CEL"). Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the CEL purchase agreement, at its option the Company has the right to sell to the private investor, and the private investor is obligated to purchase from the Company, up to $32.2 million of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain limitations, from time to time, over the 36 -month period commencing on December 18, 2015, the date that the registration statement was declared effective by the SEC. From time to time, the Company may direct the private investor, at its sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, to purchase an amount of shares of common stock up to the lesser of (i) $1,000,000 or (ii) 300% of the average daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock over the preceding ten trading day period. The per share purchase price for shares of common stock to be sold by the Company under the CEL purchase agreement shall be equal to 80% of the average of the two lowest VWAPs of the common stock for the ten consecutive trading day period prior to the purchase date. As of September 30, 2017 , the Company had directed the private investor to purchase 3,056,147 of common stock which resulted in the issuance of 1,368,000 shares of common stock The Company may not direct the private investor to purchase shares of common stock more frequently than once each ten business days. The Company’s sales of shares of common stock to the private investor under the CEL purchase agreement are limited to no more than the number of shares that would result in the beneficial ownership by the private investor and its affiliates, at any single point in time, of more than 9.99% of the Company’s then outstanding shares of common stock. As consideration for entering into the CEL purchase agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the private investor 132,000 shares of common stock (the “Commitment Shares”). The Commitment Shares were issued to the private investor commencing upon the date that the registration statement was declared effective by the SEC. SERIES F PREFERRED STOCK On January 19, 2016, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with a private investor for the sale of $7,000,000 of the Company’s newly designated Series F 7% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”). On January 20, 2016, the Company sold and issued 7,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock to the private investor. The aggregate purchase price of the Series F Preferred shares was $7,000,000 . On January 20, 2016, the private investor paid $500,000 to the Company. The remaining $6,500,000 was paid by the private investor to the Company in 14 weekly increments of $500,000 or $250,000 beginning January 25, 2016 and ending April 28, 2016. Shares of the Series F Preferred Stock (including the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) are convertible, at the option of the holder, into common stock at a fixed conversion price equal to $5.00 per share. If certain defined default events occur, the conversion price would thereafter be reduced (and only reduced), to equal 70% of the average of the two lowest VWAPs of our common stock for the twenty consecutive trading day period prior to the conversion date. If requested by the private investor, the Company will make weekly redemptions of shares of Series F Preferred Stock (including any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon). If the redemption price is paid by the Company in cash, the number of shares to be redeemed in each weekly increment is 250 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, and the redemption price is a price per share equal to $1,250 plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon. The Company has the option to make such redemption payments in shares of common stock provided certain specified equity conditions are satisfied at the time of payment. The number of shares of common stock to be issued would be calculated using a per share price equal to 80% of the one lowest VWAP of our common stock for the ten consecutive trading day period prior to the payment date. For redemption payments made in shares of common stock, the Company will redeem either (i) 250 shares of Series F Preferred Stock or (ii) such greater number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock (and also including any accrued and unpaid dividends) that would result upon redemption in the issuance of a number of shares of common stock equal to 12% of the aggregate composite trading volume for the Company’s common stock during the preceding calendar week. The private investor had available to them a new conversion price beginning on June 9, 2016 as a result of the Series H Preferred Stock transaction further described in Note 14. Shares of the Series F Preferred Stock are now convertible, at the option of the private investor, into common stock at a variable conversion price equal to 70% of (i) the lowest VWAP of our common stock for the ten consecutive trading day period prior to the conversion date or (ii) the lowest closing bid price of our common stock for the ten consecutive trading day period prior to the conversion date. Amendment of Outstanding Series F Preferred Stock Conversion Price On October 5, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series F Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Certificate of Amendment amends the conversion price at which the Series F Preferred Stock can be converted into shares of common stock. The Company had approximately $336,000 of Series F Preferred Stock remaining outstanding as of October 5, 2016. As amended, the conversion price will now be equal to the lowest of (i) 50% of the lowest weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our common stock for the ten consecutive trading day period prior to the conversion date or (ii) 50% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock for the ten consecutive trading day period prior to the conversion date. If certain “Triggering Events” specified in the terms of the Series F Preferred Stock occur, then the conversion price of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be thereafter reduced, and only reduced, to equal 50% of the average of the lowest traded price of the common stock for the twenty consecutive trading day period prior to the conversion date. The following table summarizes the conversion activity of the Series F Preferred Stock: Conversion Period Preferred Series F Shares Converted Value of Series F Preferred Shares (inclusive of accrued dividends) Common Shares Issued Q1 2016 2,168 $ 2,188,298 2,183,992 Q2 2016 3,234 3,300,931 6,649,741 Q3 2016 1,262 1,315,743 81,917,364 Q4 2016 176 185,118 27,276,005 Q3 2017 20 20,000 18,181,818 6,860 $ 7,010,090 136,208,920 Holders of the Series F Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends in the amount of 7% per annum. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017 , the Company did not pay any dividends or issue any shares in relation to accrued dividends. The Company classified the Series F Preferred Stock as a liability pursuant to ASC 480 on the closing date due to the structure of the financing agreement, whereby the Company has an unconditional obligation that the Company may settle by issuing a variable number of common shares with a monetary value that is fixed and known at inception. There are 140 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, representing a value of $140,000 , outstanding as of September 30, 2017 . Pursuant to a number of factors outlined in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , the conversion option in the Series F Preferred Stock was deemed to include an embedded derivative that required bifurcation and separate accounting. As such, the Company ascertained the value of the conversion option as if separate from the convertible issuance and appropriately recorded that value as a derivative liability. At closing, a derivative liability and a corresponding debt discount in the amount of $1,666,000 were recorded. The debt discount will be charged to interest expense ratably over the life of the Series F Preferred Stock. The derivative liability associated with the Series F Preferred Stock is subject to revaluation on a quarterly basis to reflect the market value change of the embedded conversion option. At September 30, 2017 , the Company conducted a fair value assessment of the embedded derivative associated with the Series F Preferred Stock. As a result of the fair value assessment, the Company recorded a $ 298,534 gain as "Change in fair value of derivatives and gain/(loss) on extinguishment of liabilities, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 . The net gain recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $212,977 , to properly reflect the fair value of the embedded derivative of $42,347 as of September 30, 2017 . The fair value measurements rely primarily on Company-specific inputs and the Company’s own assumptions. With the absence of observable inputs, the Company determined these recurring fair value measurements reside primarily within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The derivative associated with the Series F Preferred Stock approximates management’s estimate of the fair value of the embedded derivative liability at September 30, 2017 based on using a Monte Carlo simulation following a Geometric Brownian Motion with the following assumptions: annual volatility of 75% , present value discount rate of 12% and dividend yield of 0% . SERIES G PREFERRED STOCK On April 29, 2016, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with private investors to issue 2,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock for $2,000,000 . At Closing, the Company issued a total of 500 shares of Series G Preferred Stock to the private investors in exchange for $500,000 . The Company issued an additional 1,500 shares of Series G Preferred Stock to the private investors during the months of May and June 2016, which resulted in additional gross proceeds to the Company of $1,500,000 . Holders of the Series G Preferred Stock will be entitled to dividends in the amount of 10% per annum. One year after issuance, the Company is required to redeem for cash all or any portion of the outstanding shares of the Series G Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to $1,000 plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon. Assignment of Series G Preferred Stock Beginning September 19, 2016, the two private investors (the “Series G Sellers”) entered into assignment agreements with accredited investors (the “Series G Purchasers”). Under the terms of the assignment agreements, the Series G Sellers may sell all 2,000 outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock to the Series G Purchasers for a purchase price of $1,000 per share of Series G Preferred Stock (plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon). As of September 30, 2017 , the Series G Sellers had sold 1,835 shares of Series G Preferred Stock, representing a value of $1,835,000 , to the Series G Purchasers. On September 21, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series G Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Certificate of Amendment amends the conversion price at which the Series G Preferred Stock can be converted into shares of common stock. Shares of the Series G Preferred Stock (including the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon) were previously convertible at the option of the private investors into common stock at a fixed conversion price of $1.00 per share. As amended, the conversion price is equal to the lowest of (i) $0.045 , (ii) 70% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the ten consecutive trading day period prior to the conversion date or (iii) 70% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the ten consecutive trading day period prior to the conversion date.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , the Company converted dividends in the amount of $49,096 on the Series G Preferred Stock, resulting in the issuance of 114,854,745 shares of common stock. On June 29, and June 30, 2017, the Company redeemed the remaining 210 outstanding shares, and the related accrued dividends for cash payments in the amount of $232,440 . Due to international wire cut off times, $182,715 of that amount was not actually paid until July 3, 2017, and the resulting liability is included in accounts payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for the six months ended September 30, 2017 . As of September 30, 2017 , all Series G Preferred Stock Shares, and the related accrued dividends, had either been converted or redeemed. Pursuant to a number of factors outlined in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , the conversion option in the Series G Preferred Stock was deemed to include an embedded derivative that required bifurcation and separate accounting. As such, the Company ascertained the value of the conversion option as if separate from the convertible issuance and appropriately recorded that value as a derivative liability. At December 31, 2016 the fair value of the derivative liability was $361,831 and was $219,347 prior to the redemption. At June 30, 2017, the Company recorded the reduction of the remaining embedded derivative associated with the Series G Preferred Stock of $219,347 as a gain in the "Change in fair value of derivatives and gain/(loss) on extinguishment of liabilities, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 . The net gain recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $361,831 , to properly reflect the elimination of the embedded derivative as of September 30, 2017 . Conversion Inducement and Disposal Price Guarantee On January 17, 2017, one of the Series G Preferred Stock holders (“Holder A”) requested a conversion of 100 shares of Series G Preferred Stock, $100,000 face value, including accrued dividends of $6,416.67 for a total conversion value of $106,416.67 into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.00112 which would have resulted in the issuance of 95,014,884 shares of common stock. At the date of the request the Company did not have enough authorized shares to execute the conversion request and therefore entered into an agreement with Holder A to honor the conversion price of $0.00112 and issue the 95,014,884 shares of common stock upon the increase of the authorized common shares of the Company. The actual conversion occurred on March 17, 2017 which would have been a conversion price of $0.00168 . In conjunction with the conversion price agreement the Company agreed to provide a minimum disposal price guarantee to the Holder A of $0.003 on the tranche of 95,014,884 shares. If Holder A fails to dispose of these shares at $0.003 or above the Company will issue additional shares of common stock to make up the difference between the minimum disposal price of $0.003 and the price that Holder A disposed of the shares. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 , in accordance with ASC 470-20-40-16, the Company recorded expense of $79,179 related to the conversion inducement and expense of $134,566 related to the disposal price guarantee. The amount related to the disposal price guarantee was also recorded as a corresponding liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2017 . On June 29, 2017, the Company and Holder A agreed to settle the disposal price guarantee liability in cash instead of shares of the Company's common stock. The liability will be paid in three equal monthly installments commencing on June 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017 , the Company had repaid the liability in full.

Forbearance and Settlement Agreement on July 2016 Convertible Notes On May 5, 2017, the Company entered into a Forbearance and Settlement Agreement ("Forbearance Agreement") with a holder of certain secured convertible notes that are in default due to various triggering events. The holder and the Company agreed to forbear from taking any action provided for under the secured convertible notes in exchange for the following terms provided in this agreement: • The Company agreed to redeem for cash all secured convertible notes of the Company held by the holder no later than September 1, 2017 . • The Company affirmed that the current balance of owed principal and accrued and unpaid interest to the holder is $1,790,214 as of May 2, 2017. • The redemption price for such secured convertible notes shall be 120% (if redeemed on or prior to August 15, 2017) or 125% (if redeemed after August 15, 2017) of the then outstanding principal, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. • During the month of May 2017, the Holder agreed to limit its conversions of outstanding Company secured convertible notes to $50,000 per calendar week of principal/interest. • During the months of June, July and August 2017, the holder agreed to limit its conversions of outstanding Company secured convertible notes to $75,000 per calendar week of principal/interest. • During the months of May, June, July and August 2017, the holder agreed that all outstanding Company secured convertible notes shall bear interest at the normal stated rate of 10% , rather than default rate of 24% . • All conversions during the months of May, June, July and August 2017 will be at the “triggering event” discount conversion price as stated in the secured convertible notes, and will continue at the “triggering event” discount price until, if and when the notes are redeemed. • Should the Company fail to redeem for cash all secured convertible notes on or before September 1, 2017 , default interest and normal stated interest will accrue from the date of execution of this agreement. All principal and accrued interest on the July 2016 Convertible Notes are convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the option of the private investor, into shares of Common Stock at a variable conversion price equal to the lowest of (i) $0.045 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”), (ii) 70% of the lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company's common stock for the ten consecutive trading day period prior to the conversion date or (iii) 70% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company's common stock for the ten consecutive trading day period prior to the conversion date.
