Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
See Item 2.03.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On March 21, 2014, ISC8 Inc. (the “Company”) received executed note purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) from certain accredited investors resulting in the issuance of senior subordinated secured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $287,500 (the “Notes”). To date, the Company has issued $1.05 million of the $6.0 million Notes available for issuance, as previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2014. Per the terms of the Purchase Agreements, the Notes were issued with an original issue discount of 25%, accrue interest at a rate of 12% per annum and mature on July 31, 2014. Additionally, in the event the Company consummates a debt or equity financing resulting in gross proceeds of at least $4.0 million (a “Qualified Financing”), the then outstanding principal balance of the Notes, plus all accrued but unpaid interest, will convert into the securities issued in connection with the Qualified Financing.
The Company has received gross proceeds of approximately $787,500 from the issuance of all Notes to date. The Notes were offered and sold in transactions exempt from the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on Section 4(2) thereof, and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder. Each of the Investors represented that it was an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D. The proceeds from the sale of the Notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes.

Under the terms of her employment agreement, Ms. Bay will receive, during the term of her employment, an annual base salary of $300,000 and will be eligible to earn a discretionary bonus per year of up to 100% of her base salary. The bonus formula and annual target bonus percentage will be established annually by the Company's Compensation Committee.
