Operating Activities

Under the terms of the forbearance agreement, various notes, two of which were in default, were changed to extend the maturity dates by six months. The notes were also amended to delete the prepayment penalty. As consideration for the forbearance, the Company agreed to make cash payments of $12,500 upon execution of the agreement and monthly thereafter until Jan 15,2022 for a total of $75,000. $50,000 has been paid as of December 31, 2021. As additional consideration for entering into the forbearance agreement, the Company has agreed to issue the lender the number of shares equal to $100,000 on January 15,2022 at a 25% discount based upon the previous 15-day average closing price. Effective after January 15, 2022, if the Company enters into an agreement with a third-party investor for consideration per share less than the $0.50 fixed price per share of the notes, the Company agrees to amend and restate the notes to reduce the conversion price.
On March 25, 2022, the Company amended the forbearance agreement. Under the amendment, the maturity dates of the outstanding notes were changed to October 1, 2022. In addition, the Company will issue 8,000,000 shares of its common stock at a share price of $0.025, 4,000,000 which is in lieu of the discounted shares equal to $100,000 stated in the original agreement.
