Amendment to Convertible Promissory Notes

On April 1, 2016, Epic entered into an Amendment to Convertible Promissory Notes dated April 1, 2016 (the “Amendment”) with Old Main, amending each of the 8% Senior Convertible Promissory Notes, dated as of January 27, 2016, issued by Epic to Old Main (the “8% Note”) and each of the 10% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (each, a “10% Note” and together with the 8% Note, a “Note”) issued by Epic to Old Main pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

There is currently an existing event of default (the “Default”) based on the failure of Epic to file a registration statement by no later than the 45th calendar day after the initial closing date of January 29, 2016.

Pursuant to the Amendment, the parties agreed:

(a) to amend the conversion price of each of the 10% Notes to be equal to the lower of (i) 64% of the lowest VWAP in the five (5) trading days prior to the closing date, (ii) 50% of the lowest VWAP of the common stock in the thirty (30) trading days prior to the conversion date, or (iii) the conversion price of any other Note;

(b) to amend the conversion price of each of the 8% Notes to be equal to the lower of (i) 94% of the lowest VWAP during the ten (10) trading days prior to the original issue date, (ii) 50% of the lowest VWAP of the common stock in the thirty (30) trading days prior to the conversion date, or (iii) the conversion price of any other Note; and

Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement

On April 1, 2016, Epic entered into an Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement (the “Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement”) with Old Main, whereby the parties agreed to amend the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of January 27, 2016 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement, the parties agreed to:

(a) add a new definition for “Notes”, which includes the addition of (i) that certain 8% Senior Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $500,000 issued by Epic to Old Main on January 27, 2016 and (ii) that certain 10% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $266,000 issued by Epic to Old Mail on April 1, 2016;

(b) add a requirement that if the Initial Registration Statement is not filed within fifteen (15) calendar days after Epic filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, then (i) the outstanding principal amount of each Note shall be automatically increased by 10%, and (ii) the definition of “Alternate Conversion Price” in each of the Notes shall be automatically amended to read as follows: “’Alternate Conversion Price’ means 40% of the lowest VWAP in the thirty (30) days prior to the Conversion Date”.

Issuance of New Notes

On April 1, 2016, Epic issued Old Main a new 10% Note in the principal amount of $271,739 with the original issue date of April 1, 2016 in exchange for $250,000 pursuant to the Amended Purchase Agreement. The 10% Notes will bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, which interest amount will be guaranteed for six months and such interest due on the 10% Notes for a period of six months will be deemed earned as of the original issue date of the 10% Notes. All overdue accrued and unpaid interest to be paid under the Notes will entail a late fee at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 24% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. At any time upon 10 days written notice to the holder of the 10% Notes, Epic may prepay any portion of the principal amount of the 10% Note and any accrued and unpaid interest by paying the principal amount of the 10% Notes and interest multiplied by 130%. At the earlier of the six months anniversary of the closing date or the SEC Effective Date, Epic must redeem 1/12th of the face amount of the 10% Notes and any accrued but unpaid interest on a bi-weekly basis. Such amortization payment may be made, at the option of Epic, in cash or, subject to certain conditions, in common stock of Epic pursuant to the conversion rate equal to the lower of (i) 64% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of common stock of Epic (the “VWAP”) in the 5 trading prior to the closing date (the “Fixed Conversion Price”), (ii) 50% of the lowest VWAP of the common stock in the thirty (30) trading days prior to the conversion date, or (iii) the conversion price of any other Note. At any time after the issue date of the Notes, the holder may convert the Notes into shares of common stock of Epic at the holder’s option. The conversion price will be the Fixed Conversion Price. If Epic sells or issues its common stock or certain common stock equivalents at an effective price per share that is lower than the Fixed Conversion Price, the conversion price will be reduced to equal to such lower price.

Old Main is an accredited investor (as that term is defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), and in issuing the above securities to Old Main, we relied on and intend to rely on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
