PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Overview
We are a drug discovery and development company
researching two core technologies: Targeted Peptide Technology, or TPT, which is currently our main focus, and Metabolic Disruption
Technology, or MDT, which is our secondary focus.
Our research indicates that our TPT therapies
may be useful in treating autoimmune diseases, or diseases that trigger the body’s immune system when doing so is not necessary.
Certain molecular patterns displayed on the surface of all cells allow the immune system to distinguish the body’s own cells,
or self-cells, from foreign cells, or non-self-cells, as well as to distinguish between healthy cells and infected cells. When
a given cell displays a non-self-molecular pattern, that pattern alerts the immune system to the presence of pathogen(s) and provides
an identity of the pathogen(s). This recognition of foreign markers initiates an immune response: acute inflammation followed by
targeted destruction of invaders and of compromised self-cells. When non-infected, healthy self-cells are inappropriately targeted
by the immune system, the resulting conditions, effects, and symptoms are termed chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
Current therapies that combat these immune disorders generally focus on eliminating pro-inflammatory cells and/or their pro-inflammatory
signals. Such therapies may be non-specific and immunosuppressive, weakening a patient’s ability to fight secondary infections.
We believe we have produced a peptide, which is a small segment of protein that may selectively eliminate certain pro-inflammatory
immune system cells that play a key role in inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. Our TPT therapy, which uses this peptide, requires
significant additional work before the commencement of clinical trials, including favorable animal toxicity study results and then
regulatory review and approval of protocols. We believe TPT could potentially be a significant discovery for patients who battle
the symptoms of these largely untreatable autoimmune diseases.
Additionally, we have one drug research program
in clinical stage, which is a MDT therapy that helps, in combination with other drugs, to fight cancers with solid tumors in situations
where the cancer is resistant to the initial cancer drug therapy. Our MDT trial was initially for ovarian cancer, but has since
expanded to include other solid tumors, including those located in the breast, colon, liver, lung, and pancreas. Currently, we
do not have sufficient funding to complete this work and plan to seek additional funding.
Our research and development programs are based
on technology that was developed by Dr. M. Karen Newell Rogers, for which we have an exclusive license, while working at the University
of Colorado, the University of Vermont, and Texas A&M University. Through Dr. Rogers and the universities for whom she has
worked, we have collaborated with:
|
· |
Stanford University on the role of invariant chain, a peptide chain important for antigen presentation in specific immunity, in CLIP presentation and in inflammatory processes, the defense of the body from perceived non-self-cells as a general concept, from October 2013 to present; |
|
· |
Scott & White Healthcare Center on pre-eclampsia and high blood pressure from March 2010 to present; and |
|
· |
Texas A&M University on multiple sclerosis from September 2014 to present, on pre-eclampsia from June 2013 to present, and traumatic brain injury from January 2013 to present. |
History of Our Technology
Prior to our acquisition of Viral Genetics
in 2001, Viral Genetics had acquired the right to use certain technology, called Thymus Nuclear Protein, or TNP, through license
agreements. Viral Genetics believed TNP to be useful in ameliorating HIV/AIDS, autoimmune conditions and immunological deficiency.
Viral Genetics stopped studying TNP in 2007 when we entered into agreements with the University of Colorado, Dr. Newell Rogers,
Texas A&M University and Scott & White Healthcare related to the licensing of TPT. We believe Dr. Newell Rogers’s
work provides the scientific theory and explanation of the biological mechanism behind TNP and pointed the direction for developing
other autoimmune applications that had been indicated in a prior TNP study.
In 2009, we acquired an exclusive worldwide
license to a body of patents and patent applications underlying the use of Metabolic Disruption Technology, or MDT, compounds in
the treatment of cancers that were developed by Dr. Newell Rogers, and are owned by the University of Colorado and the University
of Vermont. We believe MDT technology interferes with cancer cells’ ability to get the energy they need, making them more
susceptible to chemotherapy and radiation and more visible and vulnerable to the body’s own immune system.
There are hundreds of existing cancer treatments
that could potentially be used successfully in combination with MDT compounds. All cells, including cancer cells, need energy to
continue functioning. MDT compounds interfere with target cells' methods for obtaining the energy they need to function. Such methods
for obtaining energy are called metabolic processes. In order to get energy, cells may undergo a process called autophagy, or self-eating,
where the cells consume themselves in order to continue to function. This process is particularly relevant to cancer cells, which
are very energy intensive due to their short cell cycle and rapid proliferation. We believe our MDT compounds interrupt the cancer
cells’ metabolic processes, ultimately weakening them to other cancer therapies or killing them outright. We are currently
studying the efficacy of an MDT compound called hydroxychloroquine in combination with an existing drug, called sorafenib, which
is marketed as Nexavar®, on solid tumors, including those located in the breast, liver, ovaries and pancreas. MDT compounds
do not work on their own to treat cancerous tumors, but we believe they disrupt cellular metabolism, weakening the cancerous cells
and making them more susceptible to the mechanism of a given cancer therapy.
Our Subsidiaries
VG Energy, Inc.
In 2010, we established a subsidiary, VG Energy,
Inc. We currently own 81.65% of the common and preferred shares of VG Energy. The subsidiary was established to develop non-pharmaceutical
applications of our science for use in the augmentation of oils that could be refined into diesel and other transportation fuels,
as well as into high-value edible, cosmetic and nutraceutical oils. We have demonstrated in the lab that the same techniques used
in our medical research increase oil yields of other plant and plant-like cells, as well as fungi, including yeast, corn, palm,
soy and pea. While we believe that VG Energy could develop viable products, we are not investing resources in this subsidiary so
we can focus our efforts on our drug development programs.
MetaCytoLitics, Inc.
On July 27, 2009, we formed the subsidiary,
MetaCytoLytics, Inc. to study the use of MDT in the treatment of cancerous tumors. This subsidiary is largely inactive now and
we are conducting MDT research through our own efforts.
Our Vision
The primary focus of our business is pharmaceutical
and medical applications of our science. We are engaged in the research and development of drugs and disease treatments using two
platform technologies, Targeted Peptide Technology, or TPT, and Metabolic Disruption Technology, or MDT. A portion of pharmaceutical
research conducted for the benefit of our licensed MDT and TPT technologies is funded through grants and other outside funding
provided to the lab of Dr. M. Karen Newell Rogers. These grants include (a) two grants totaling $200,000 and paid in two installments
in February 2009 and January 2012 from Time for Lyme, Inc., and Turn the Corner Foundation, of which approximately 40% benefited
our TPT program and (b) a single $1,500,000 grant from the Scott & White Foundation in January 2011, of which approximately
20% benefited our MDT program. The remainder of the funding comes from our fundraising efforts.
Targeted Peptide Technology, or TPT
Our Targeted Peptide Technology, or TPT, targets
the body’s immune cells and seems to explain the mechanism behind some autoimmune diseases while presenting a possible solution.
Our current, second generation TPT compound is called VG1177.
Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system
attacks the body’s own cells, mistaking them for pathogens. In some cases, this confusion can arise from an initial infection,
where the pathogen possesses antigens similar to tissue in the body, such as in Coxsackie induced myocarditis or chronic Lyme disease.
Additionally, the immune system can be activated non-specifically, that is, it mounts a chronic inflammatory response without a
target. When non-infected, healthy self-cells are inappropriately targeted by the immune system, the resulting conditions, effects,
and symptoms are termed chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
Certain molecular patterns displayed on all
cell surfaces allow the immune system to distinguish self from non-self-cells as well as healthy cells from infected cells. When
a given cell displays a non-self-molecular pattern, that pattern alerts the immune system to the presence of pathogen(s) and provides
an identity of the pathogen(s). This recognition of foreign markers initiates an immune response: acute inflammation followed by
targeted destruction of invaders and of compromised self-cells.
Certain cells in the body ingest foreign, damaged
or infected cells and then produce a receptor on the cells surface, called Major Histocompatibility Complex II, or MHC-II receptor.
The MHC-II receptor allows other immune cells, called T-cells, to identify the foreign, damaged or infected cell and cause the
cell’s death, eliminating the threat and stopping the immune response.
Our research indicates that the self-peptide
called Class II-associated invariant chain peptide, or CLIP, can fit into MHC-II receptors, preventing T-cells from recognizing
the antigen-less MHC-II receptor, that is, an MHC-II receptor that is displayed outside the cell without a protein fragment, and
inducing cell death. This disruption prolongs a chronic, non-specific immune activation. Our research also indicates that these
CLIP+ immune cells have increased pro-inflammatory characteristics.
We believe TPT can work by displacing the “armor”
of CLIP from its place in an extracellular MHC-II receptor. We believe VG1177 will out-compete CLIP for the MHC-II groove because
it is designed to have a higher binding coefficient than CLIP, effectively displacing CLIP and producing the desired anti-inflammatory
therapeutic effect.
TPT, in a general sense, is related to discovering
receptor-mediated pathways, pathways that can be found using receptors that other cells can bind to and designing peptides that
can augment how those receptors function. These peptides, synthesized by our research team, have been engineered to work nearly
universally in everyone’s MHC-II receptors. We expect our TPT drug compounds to enable the body to destroy the cells that
help trigger the symptoms of autoimmune diseases.
We also believe that various other conditions,
such as Lyme disease, traumatic brain injury, hypertension, preeclampsia, glioblastoma, Type I and Type II diabetes, Crohn’s
disease, ulcerative colitis, lymphedema, staphylococcus, streptococcus, and sepsis infection, multiple sclerosis, transplant rejection,
and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders, or PANDAS, may be treatable using TPT. However, we have not and do not currently
plan to expend any significant funds to explore these applications.
Metabolic Disruption Technology, or MDT
Our Metabolic Disruption Technology, or MDT,
program may be used in combination with a variety of existing drugs and compounds to treat drug resistant cancers. MDT compounds
manipulate target cells' methods for obtaining the energy they need to function, weakening the drug resistant cancer cells so that
the cancer cells are more sensitive to the cancer treatment.
We believe a growing body of research indicates
that interfering with cell metabolism could be the key to targeting cancer cells. Our research shows the way a cell metabolizes
its sources of energy appears to determine whether it will survive the most common treatments for cancer chemotherapy and radiation.
Cells that rely on glucose or sugar for fuel are easily damaged and killed. Cells that can change their metabolic strategy to use
lipids can become deadly. They continue to survive and even thrive during cancer treatments, thereby assisting in the development
of drug resistant tumors that can become lethal to their victims.
Every cell in the body produces, consumes,
and stores energy using a distinct metabolic strategy to perform its normal functions. Each cell can use carbohydrate, protein,
or fat in different proportions to insure that the cell has sufficient energy. The cell’s choice of fuel, i.e. the cell’s
metabolic strategy, will change depending on its activation or differentiation state as well as its environment. For example, a
cell that is dividing has different energy demands than one that is non-dividing and, thus, must employ an alternative metabolic
strategy.
Due to the fact that, in general, cancer cells
grow very rapidly, cancer cells have very high energy demands. We have learned that some of the mechanisms the tumor cells use
to meet their energy demands are unique to the tumor cell and are not used by normal cells, suggesting that those specific pathways
could make clinically relevant therapeutic targets. As a result, our research now indicates that when the tumor cells’ specific
energy strategies are interrupted with “metabolic disrupting” agents, the consequences are two-fold: the cancer cells
can no longer generate energy needed to survive and the disruption of the intracellular energy levels reduces their ability to
repair damage from other cytotoxic agents, resulting in a much greater sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiation.
Tumor cells exhibit at least two generalizable
metabolic features that we have chosen as selective targets: high rate glycolysis, which is the process of breaking down glucose
to smaller carbon-containing units in the intracellular fluid of the cell, and fatty acid oxidation, the process of breaking fats
down to smaller carbon containing units in the cell’s powerhouse, the mitochondria. The preferential use of fatty acid oxidation
in drug resistant cells is a particularly important focus of our therapeutic strategy because drug resistance, either acquired
through drug treatment or inherent drug resistance, is the leading cause of death for cancer patients. For all of these reasons,
our initial clinical compounds are comprised of pharmaceutical compositions that interfere with various aspects of high rate glycolysis
and fatty acid oxidation.
Our research indicates that we are capable
of interfering with the metabolic strategy of both drug sensitive and multi-drug resistant tumor cells. Our studies both in vitro
and in tumor-bearing mice have demonstrated a lack of toxicity and impressive therapeutic activity of some compounds in multi-drug
resistant cancer cells and an even more potent effect on both drug sensitive and drug resistant tumor cells when used in combinations.
In addition, certain compounds have striking therapeutic activity in tumor-bearing mice when used together, or in conjunction with,
standard chemotherapy.
Doctors at Scott & White Healthcare in
Temple, Texas, and the Cancer Therapy and Research Center at the University of Texas at San Antonio, have completed a Phase I Physician’s
IND trial, for patients with solid tumors utilizing an MDT compound, called hydroxychloroquine, in combination with an existing
cancer drug, called sorafenib, which is marketed as Nexavar®. Our MDT trials initially were only for ovarian cancer, but have
since expanded to include other solid tumors, including those located in the breast, colon, liver, lung, and pancreas. We are currently
reviewing our options, including an expanded Phase I Physician’s IND with a large 5th cohort of patients at maximum
dosage or a Phase II trial. However, we have not expended any significant funds to explore these applications, nor we do not have
funds on hand to explore these applications.
A phase I study may be conducted at a clinical
trial location in healthy patients, or it may be administered to patients suffering with the targeted indication by a physician,
where the latter becomes a physician investigational new drug trial, or P-IND. An IND refers to the molecular entity or entities
not yet approved for a given indication or indications. Any plan to use the specific entity or entities must be approved by the
FDA prior to initiation. A clinical protocol may be exempted from IND approval procedures if the following conditions are met:
|
· |
The investigation is not intended to be reported to the FDA as a well-controlled study in support of a new indication for use, nor intended to support any other significant change in labeling for the drug; |
|
· |
The investigation is not intended to support a significant change in the advertising for a prescription drug product; |
|
· |
The investigation does not involve a change in route of administration, dosage level, or patient population, or other factors that significantly increase the risks (or decreases the acceptability of risks) associated with use of the drug product; |
|
· |
The investigation is conducted in compliance with the requirements for Institutional Review Board approval. Institutional Review Boards review studies that are conducted with human subjects to ensure that there is oversight of such research and that such research is conducted with the appropriate precautions and all subjects are given informed voluntary consent before participating in the study; and |
|
· |
The investigation may not represent that the drug being studied is safe or effective, nor may it be commercially distributed, for the purposes for which it is under investigation. |
The current clinical protocol was exempted
from IND regulations on May 4, 2012, which means that an IND approval was not needed prior to study commencement, and with the
receipt of the notification, the study could commence. We are the sponsor of the trial and Dr. Tyler Curiel is the primary investigator.
The subject of the protocol is a hydroxychloroquine and sorafenib combination as a treatment for all solid tumors in patients that
have failed first line cancer therapies.
We hold an exclusive license for the patent
application for this MDT combination treatment. Since its inception in July 2012, the trial has been expanded to encompass solid
tumors, including breast, colon, lung, liver, and pancreatic cancers. We are in the process of completing our Phase I Physician’s
IND study utilizing MDT as a combination therapy. The goal with this treatment is to weaken the drug resistant cancer cells so
that they may be sensitized to other treatments as well as becoming vulnerable to the body’s immune system.
Product Candidates
Currently, we have one pre-clinical product
candidate and one clinical-stage product candidate. Our clinical-stage product candidate is an MDT therapy, which helps, in combination
with other drugs, to fight cancers with solid tumors in situations where the cancer is resistant to the initial cancer drug therapy.
Our MDT trial was initially for ovarian cancer, but has since expanded to include other solid tumors, including those located in
the breast, colon, liver, lung, and pancreas. Our pre-clinical product candidate is a TPT therapy for HIV/AIDS using our computationally
designed peptide known as VG1177. The success of our business is primarily dependent upon our ability to discover or acquire rights
to products, and to develop and commercialize our product candidates.
TPT for HIV/AIDS
VG1177 is a proprietary, computationally designed
anti-inflammatory peptide with a wide range of potential applications. Currently, we are devoting most of our resources to develop
VG1177 for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. We believe VG1177 prevents the survival of pro-inflammatory cells under conditions where
inflammation is unwanted, thereby allowing the body’s natural containment systems to provide protection from harm, which
has implications for chronic inflammatory conditions and autoimmune and infectious diseases. We began animal toxicity studies in
November 2013 and we engaged ITR Laboratories in Montreal, Canada to complete the safety studies. These toxicity studies are the
prerequisite step before beginning a Phase I clinical trial. We expect these safety results in early 2015. We have engaged an additional
team of industry consultants to guide us through this pivotal, pre-FDA planning stage with a specific focus on drug formulation,
on-site inspections, clinical creation and other aspects of clinical planning. This group of advisors includes:

MDT Compound for Drug Resistant Cancer called
Hydroxychloroquine
Hydroxychloroquine is a MDT compound that can
be used, in combination with other cancer drugs, such as sorafenib, which is marketed as Nexavar®, to treat drug resistant
cancer. We hold a license to a pending patent application for the combination treatment. In 2012, doctors at Scott & White
Healthcare and the Cancer Therapy Research at Texas A&M University began conducting a Phase I Physician’s IND trial for
patients with late stage ovarian cancer using this MDT combination treatment. The trial has progressed to encompass solid tumors,
including; breast, colon, lung, liver and pancreatic cancers. Our Physician-IND Phase I Study is testing the tolerability and toxicity
of our patented technology in patients with advanced stage solid tumors. The study, which is ongoing in patients with solid tumors
that do not respond to treatment or have returned after a period of improvement, examines the safety and efficacy of hydroxychloroquine,
or HCQ, in combination with sorafenib, marketed as Nexavar®, which was co-developed by Bayer AG and Onyx Pharmaceuticals.
The study is designed with four cohorts, three
cycles of administration in each cohort and four different patients in each cohort. Thus there are 16 total patients targeted to
complete the trial. Sorafenib and HCQ are FDA approved and thus the study is testing the drugs in combination for safety and toxicity.
The dosing for each cohort is as follows:
Cohort Number |
SORAFENIB |
HCQ |
1 |
400 mg |
200 mg |
2 |
600 mg |
200 mg |
3 |
800 mg |
200 mg |
4 |
800 mg |
400 mg |
As a Phase I study, the investigators are primarily
testing for safety, but are also testing for efficacy in reducing tumor mass or stunting tumor growth. No patients have been dropped
from the study for toxicity. The primary investigator reported two clinical responses in cohort number 3 with four months of disease
stabilization in a patient with metastatic ovarian cancer, which has spread throughout portions of the body, and five months of
disease stabilization in a patient with triple-negative breast cancer, which is a type of cancer that does not express three genes
that are key to traditional cancer treatment, making treatment more difficult. The final patient in cohort number 3 has stage IV,
or metastatic, adenocarcinoma of the lung, which is a common form of lung cancer, and has four separate lung lesions. During the
course of the study, the four lesions have all regressed about 20% in size. This study is being conducted at the Cancer Therapy
and Research Center at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at San Antonio. The primary investigator is medical oncologist
Dr. Tyler Curiel, M.D., MPH and is based on the research of Dr. M. Karen Newell Rogers, PhD, our Chief Scientific Advisor. In March
2014, the University of Texas Data Safety Monitoring Committee approved an expansion to cohort number 4. In the final cohort, the
trial is at maximum sorafenib plus maximum HCQ. Cohort number 4 has enrolled and finished dosing, and the treatment was well-tolerated
in all patients. With the conclusion of cohort 4 dosing, we have completed the Phase I trial as outlined in the clinical plan,
though one patient remains on the treatment who has maintained her partial clinical response by RECIST criteria which is a set
of physician-published rules to evaluate tumor response to a given treatment.
We are actively planning for either an expanded
Physician’s IND Phase I study or a Phase II study, but we do not have the capital to fund a Phase II study at present.
Intellectual Property
We seek to protect our novel compounds, cloned
targets, expressed proteins, assays, organic synthetic processes, screening technology and other technologies by, among other things,
filing, or causing to be filed on our behalf, patent applications. Except as specifically noted below, the patent rights described
below may be subject to potential patent term extensions and/or supplemental protection certificates extending such term extensions

A European patent refers to patents granted under the European Patent Convention. The European Patent Convention allows for unified filing of a patent application with the European Patent Office. The applicant may designate any of the countries, who are a party to the convention, in which the applicant seeks protection. There are 38 countries that are parties to the European Patent Convention. Each of the designated countries must confirm the patent. Once granted, a European patent comes into existence as a group of national patents in each of the designated countries. |

The expiration dates of pending U.S. patent applications do not take into consideration any potential patent term adjustment that may be applied by the U.S. Patent Office upon issuance of the patent or any terminal disclaimers that may be filed in the future. |
The rights we consider significant in relation
to our business as a whole are covered by two exclusive license agreements we entered into with the University of Colorado, one
of which pertains to patents and patent applications concerning TPT, referred to as the CLIP License, and the other concerning
MDT, referred to as the Metabolic Distribution License. Through institutional agreements between the University of Colorado and
the University of Vermont, patent rights held by the University of Vermont, where an inventor on the University of Vermont patents,
Dr. Newell Rogers, was employed, are also included in our exclusive license to the MDT. We also hold licenses from Texas A&M
University and Scott & White Healthcare, referenced as the S & W License. These licenses grant us a worldwide exclusive
license to the patents and require us to make certain royalty and milestone payments, as specified below.
Clip License
On August 25, 2009, we entered into a worldwide
exclusive license agreement with the University of Colorado granting us rights to patents, patent applications, and technologies
developed by Dr. Newell Rogers and owned by the University of Colorado. The termination provisions of the agreement allow us to
terminate the agreement in its entirety if we:
(1) Pay all amounts due as well as all non-cancelable
costs to the University of Colorado through the termination date;
(2) Submit final payments with interest equal
to the lesser of one percent per month compounded, or the maximum interest rate allowed by law, and a final report;
(3) Return any confidential materials provided
to us by the University of Colorado in connection with the agreement;
(4) Suspend our use and sales of the licensed
product(s) and licensed process(es) covered by the agreement; provided however, that subject to making certain payments and furnishing
certain reports as specified in the agreement, we may, for a period of ninety (90) days after the effective date of such termination,
sell all licensed products which may be in inventory; and
(5) Provide the University of Colorado the
right to access any regulatory information filed with any U.S. or foreign government agency with respect to licensed products and
licensed processes.
The termination provisions of the agreement
also allows us to terminate the agreement in its entirety if the University of Colorado:
(1) Is delinquent on any report or payment
that is not in dispute; is in breach of the diligence obligations described in the agreement, including the milestone requirements
and such missed milestone, which is not otherwise excused pursuant to the terms of the agreement; provides any false report, as
specified in the agreement, breaching any dispute resolution of the agreement, or is in breach of any other material provision
of the agreement, and fails to cure any of these circumstances within 30 days of the University of Colorado's written notice to
us;
(2) Violates any laws or regulations of applicable
governmental entities;
(3) Becomes insolvent, as defined by the voluntary
filing of a Chapter 7 proceeding under bankruptcy law, or if we cease to carry on its business or development activities pertaining
to the licensed patents; or
(4) Institutes a legal action challenging the
validity of any licensed patent.
The exclusive license granted by the agreement
will terminate if a non-voluntary Chapter 7 proceeding under bankruptcy law is filed that is not dismissed prior to liquidation.
The exclusive license will not pass to a trustee in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy or be held as an asset of said Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
This license gives us rights to 9 pending U.S.
and foreign patent applications and 2 issued U.S. patents and 1 issued Australian patent, as specified below:

Other Royalty Agreements
Under two consulting agreements effective January 1, 2011 and terminating
December 31, 2015 with Dr. M. Karen Newell Rogers and Dr. Evan Newell, we are obligated to pay certain royalties upon the commercialization
of products developed from their work.
These royalties are the same for both Dr. M.
Karen Newell Rogers and Dr. Evan Newell. Each individual is entitled to three fourths of one percent, or 0.75%, of net sales from
sales in developed countries, and one half of one percent, or 0.50%, from sales in undeveloped countries.
Under the exclusive license agreements, in
general, we are obligated to fund the costs of any patents, even if such work would be outside a field of use for which we currently
have exclusive rights. We are continually evaluating whether additional applications may be appropriate to protect extensions and
variations of our product candidates, and expect to file additional and new applications related thereto. Under international agreements,
in recent years, global protection of intellectual property rights is improving. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade requires
participant countries to amend their intellectual property laws to provide patent protection for pharmaceutical products by the
end of a ten-year transition period. A number of countries are following suit. Patent protection in other countries where we have
obtained patents and filed patent applications, including the European Patent Office, the Eurasian Patent Organization, New Zealand,
Australia, and Israel, extend for varying periods according to the date of patent filing or grant and the legal term of patents
in the various countries where patent protection is obtained. The actual protection afforded by a patent, which can vary from country
to country, depends upon the type of patent, the scope of its coverage and the availability of legal remedies in the country.
The expiration of a product patent or loss
of patent protection resulting from a legal challenge would be expected to result in significant competition from generic products
against the covered product and, particularly in the U.S., could result in a significant reduction in sales of the pioneering product.
If we were to lose patent protection, we may be able to continue to obtain commercial benefits from product trade secrets, patents
on use of our product, and patents on processes and intermediates for the economical manufacture of the active ingredients. The
effect of product patent expiration or loss also depends upon the nature of the market and the position of the product in it, the
growth of the market, the complexities and economics of manufacture of the product, and the requirements of generic drug laws.
With respect to proprietary know-how and products
and processes for which patents are of questionable value or are difficult or impossible to obtain or enforce, we rely on confidentiality
agreements and other trade secret protection measures to protect our interests. We take measures to protect our proprietary know-how,
technologies, and confidential data, including requiring all employees, consultants and customers to enter into confidentiality
agreements. In arrangements with our customers or suppliers that require the sharing of processes and data, our policy is to make
available only such data as is relevant to our agreements with such customers and suppliers, subject to appropriate contractual
restrictions, including requirements for them to maintain confidentiality and use such processes and data solely for our benefit.
However, such measures may not adequately protect our data.
Publication Incentive Program
On December 22, 2014, we established a stock
bonus program for the publication of articles in scientific journals whereby Dr. Karen Newell-Rogers or Dr. Richard Tobin or any
graduate students or other researchers working in Dr. Karen Newell-Rogers’ lab at Texas A&M that are named in the publication
be granted a stock bonus in shares of our common stock at our discretion. The amount of the stock bonus is based upon the impact

Manufacturing and Supply
TPT compounds used for preclinical studies
in our drug research programs are produced by external production facilities. Acquisition of drugs used in concert with our MDT
compounds can present challenges given that the manufacturer or drug developer generally must agree to the use of the compounds
in a research setting. This can involve more detailed communication and negotiation with the manufacturer rather than simply purchasing
product. The production of larger batches of products for commercial sale after FDA approval would require construction of our
own facility or a long-term contracting relationship with a manufacturer with sufficient capacity. We have sourced a manufacturer
for TPT compounds that we believe will be able to meet long-term production demands throughout the development period and beyond.
At present, we obtain MDT compounds from the
University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. We recently sourced a manufacturer for our TPT compounds, including VG1177,
and are now capable of procuring Good Manufacturing Practices grade compound, which is required for human clinical trials. The
manufacturer is Ambiopharm Inc. Ambiopharm synthesizes the peptide on a contract basis for specific amounts. We do not currently
have a contract or an exclusivity agreement with Ambiopharm. We do not expect any significant issues in connection with manufacturing
for the foreseeable future.
Sales and Marketing/Commercialization
Our lead drug candidate, VG1177, is intended
to address a variety of market segments, some of which are large healthcare markets. We do not currently have a commercialization
organization capable of marketing, selling, or distributing VG1177. We have commenced discussions and may establish partnerships
with pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other organizations that have the existing organization experience and resources to bring
our initial, and potentially future, product candidates to market. In some cases, we may collaborate with third parties during
the development stage of a product candidate to further benefit from their financial support as well as clinical development, regulatory,
market research, pre-marketing and other expertise. For commercialization outside of the United States, we may enter into joint
ventures, license arrangements or distribution agreements, as appropriate, depending on the particular requirements of the market
and the potential partner’s core competencies to assist us with such requirements. Pending FDA approval of our products,
we may establish or contract with a specialty sales force with expertise in marketing and selling to various healthcare markets.
We may also establish or contract for other complementary capabilities related to marketing and selling our potential pharmaceutical
products.
Competition
Competition is intense in the pharmaceutical
business and includes many large and small competitors. Technological innovations affecting efficacy, safety, patient ease-of-use,
and cost-effectiveness by other pharmaceutical companies with greater financial and research resources working on competitive products
could result in products that offer the same or similar benefits as our product candidates. We intend to compete with existing
products on the basis of product quality and efficacy, product safety, economic benefit, and/or promotion, however our MDT oncology
therapies are designed to function as an adjunct or add-on to current treatments and so our therapies do not directly compete with
those current treatments.
However, our MDT oncological combination therapies
may compete directly with other adjunct therapies. As there are over 200 million possible combinations of approved and development-stage
oncological drugs, not including the hundreds of MDT oncological agents patented (Nature Biotechnology, Vol. 30 No 7 July 2012),
it is more relevant to discuss the competition that may be faced by the sorafenib/hydroxychloroquine, or HCQ, treatment in an FDA
phase I study.
Currently, there are over 350 clinical trials,
initiated, ongoing, and completed, involving a sorafenib combination treatment. Not all of these trials are sponsored by industry
groups, and not all of these trials will advance further in clinical development. Furthermore, this number does not include other
multikinase or angiogenesis inhibitors, and it is possible that our sorafenib/HCQ treatment may face other successful sorafenib
or sorafenib-like combination therapies.
The key detail needed to evaluate competition
will be the oncological indication chosen for the sorafenib/HCQ therapy, as cancer treatments must be approved for discrete types
of cancer.
Government Regulation
Our current and contemplated activities, and
the products and processes that will result from such activities, are subject to substantial government regulation.
United States—FDA Drug Approval Process
Pre-Clinical Testing: Before beginning
testing of any compounds with potential therapeutic value in human subjects in the United States, stringent government requirements
for pre-clinical data must be satisfied. Pre-clinical testing includes both in vitro, or in an artificial environment
outside of a living organism, and in vivo, or within a living organism, laboratory evaluation and characterization
of the safety and efficacy of a drug and its formulation. We perform pre-clinical testing on all of our drug candidates before
initiating human trials.
Investigational New Drug, IND, Applications: Pre-clinical
testing results obtained from in vivo studies in several animal species, as well as from in vitro studies,
are submitted to the FDA, or an international equivalent, as part of an IND or equivalent, and are reviewed by the FDA prior to
the commencement of human clinical trials. The pre-clinical data must provide an adequate basis for evaluating both the safety
and the scientific rationale for the initial clinical studies in human volunteers.
Clinical Trials: Clinical trials
involve the administration of the drug to healthy human volunteers or to patients under the supervision of a qualified investigator
pursuant to an FDA-reviewed protocol. Human clinical trials typically are conducted in three sequential phases, although the phases
may overlap with one another. Clinical trials must be conducted under protocols that detail the objectives of the study, the parameters
to be used to monitor safety, and the efficacy criteria, if any, to be evaluated. Each protocol must be submitted to the FDA as
part of the IND.
|
· |
Phase 1 clinical trials—test for safety, dose tolerance, absorption, bio-distribution, metabolism, excretion and clinical pharmacology and, if possible, to gain early evidence regarding efficacy. |
|
· |
Phase 2 clinical trials—involve a small sample of the actual intended patient population and seek to assess the efficacy of the drug for specific targeted indications, to determine dose-response and the optimal dose range and to gather additional information relating to safety and potential adverse effects. |
|
· |
Phase 3 clinical trials—consist of expanded, large-scale studies of patients with the target disease or disorder to obtain definitive statistical evidence of the efficacy and safety of the proposed product and dosing regimen. |
|
· |
Phase 4 clinical trials—conducted after a product has been approved. These trials can be conducted for a number of purposes, including to collect long-term safety information or to collect additional data about a specific population. As part of a product approval, the FDA may require that certain Phase 4 studies, which are called post-marketing commitment studies, be conducted post-approval. |
Good Clinical Practices: All of the
phases of clinical studies must be conducted in conformance with the FDA's bioresearch monitoring regulations and Good Clinical
Practices, which are ethical and scientific quality standards for conducting, recording, and reporting clinical trials to assure
that the data and reported results are credible and accurate, and that the rights, safety, and well-being of trial participants
are protected.

Item 1A. Risk
Factors
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We are a development stage company with
no commercial products.
We are developing two drug candidates: VG1177,
our lead pre-clinical drug candidate, initially for HIV/AIDS application, and MDT, our clinical drug candidate, initially aimed
to fight solid tumor cancers in situations where the cancer is resistant to initial cancer drug therapy. Currently, we have no
product candidates in our clinical development pipeline other than VG1177 for HIV/AIDS and MDT for a cancer application, and we
have no products approved for sale. We plan to file an IND application with the FDA for our VG1177 after completion of the animal
toxicity studies. Thereafter, we expect to commence our initial clinical trials for VG1177 for HIV/AIDS. Although we have begun
pre-clinical and in vitro studies, we have not yet begun human clinical trials, and therefore, we are still many years from beginning
to commercialize and market VG1177 or any other product candidate, if ever. We expect the clinical development of VG1177 will require
significant additional effort, resources, time, and expenses prior to seeking FDA approval. VG1177 is not expected to be commercially
available in the United States or outside the United States for several years, if ever. If we are unable to make VG1177 commercially
available, we may not be able to fund future operations, including developing, testing and obtaining regulatory approval for new
product candidates.
We may be unable to continue as a going
concern.
As we don’t have enough cash on hand
to pay our expenses for the next 12 months of operations, our independent auditors have included a “going concern”
qualification in their audit report. We expect to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future and will need to raise additional
capital to pursue our product development initiatives, to penetrate markets for the sale of our products and continue as a going
concern. This qualification may also make it more difficult for us to raise capital and could increase the cost of any capital
raised. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital. Our management believes that we have
access to capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other
means, if needed; however, we can provide no assurance that new financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if
needed.
We have a history of operating losses.
We expect to incur net losses and we may never achieve or maintain profitability.
We have not been profitable since our inception.
We reported net losses of approximately $6.19 million and $7.42 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
As of December 31, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $106 million. We have not generated any revenue from product
sales or royalties from product sales to date, and it is possible that we will never have significant product sales revenue or
royalty revenue. We expect to continue to incur losses for at least the next several years as we and our collaborators pursue clinical
trials and research and development efforts. To become profitable, we, either alone, or with our collaborators, must successfully
develop, manufacture, and market our current product candidates, particularly VG1177 or our MDT compound, as well as continue to
identify, develop, manufacture, and market new product candidates. It is possible that we will never have significant product sales
revenue or receive significant royalties on our licensed product candidates.
We will need additional financing, but
our access to capital funding is uncertain.
Our current and anticipated operations, particularly
our product development and commercialization programs, require substantial capital, which we have not yet obtained in lump sum.
We are continually seeking funding for our ongoing operations, and we have funded operations through a series of private placements
and support from stockholders. Cash as of December 31, 2014 was $34,000. Those funds have since been utilized and we have entered
into agreements with related and unrelated parties to receive additional capital after December 31, 2014 of up to $600,000 to allow
us to continue through December 31, 2015. As of March 27, 2015, we have received $20,000 of this amount. Until we are able to secure
long-term financial support or financing in a sufficiently large quantity to fund operations for at least 18-24 months, our ability
to operate is uncertain and a significant portion of our management’s time is devoted to fund-raising. However, these and
future capital needs will depend on many factors, including the extent to which we enter into collaboration agreements with respect
to any of our proprietary product candidates and make progress in our internally funded research, development and commercialization
activities. Our capital requirements will also depend on the magnitude and scope of these activities, our ability to maintain existing,
and establish new, collaborations, the terms of those collaborations, the success of our collaborators in the future to develop
and market products under their respective collaborations with us, our success in producing clinical and commercial supplies of
our product candidates on a timely basis and in sufficient quantities to meet our requirements, competing technological and market
developments, the time and cost of obtaining regulatory approvals, the extent to which we choose to commercialize our future products
through our own sales and marketing capabilities, and the cost of preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent
and other rights. We do not have committed external sources of funding, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain
additional funds on acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to:
| · | engage in equity financings that would
be dilutive to current stockholders; |
| · | delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate
one or more of our development programs; |
| · | obtain funds through arrangements with
collaborators or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we would
otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves; or |
| · | license rights to technologies, product candidates, or products on terms
that are less favorable to us than might otherwise be available. |
If funding is insufficient at any time in the
future, we may not be able to develop or commercialize our products, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive
pressures.
We are heavily dependent on the success
of our lead drug candidate, and we cannot provide any assurance that our lead drug candidate or other product candidates we may
have in the future will be commercialized.
We intend to invest the vast majority of our
time and financial resources in the development and commercialization of our lead drug candidate, VG1177, which is currently in
pre-clinical development. We plan to file an IND for our chosen indication with the FDA in mid 2016. We expect to commence patient
enrollment for our Phase I-clinical trial thereafter. Our future success depends heavily on our ability to successfully develop,
obtain regulatory approval for, and commercialize our lead drug candidate, which may never occur. We currently generate no revenues
and incur substantial losses, and we may never be able to develop or commercialize a marketable drug. Our MDT candidate is our
secondary candidate, nearing completion of a Phase I-Physician’s IND.
Before we generate any revenues from product
sales, we must complete preclinical studies and clinical trials for VG1177, establish manufacturing capabilities that comply with
the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices requirements for manufacturing sterile drugs, receive approval from the FDA
in the United States and other regulatory agencies in foreign jurisdictions, build a commercial organization, make substantial
investments and undertake significant marketing efforts ourselves or in partnership with others. We will not be permitted to market
or promote VG1177, MDT, or any other product candidates we may have in the future, before we receive regulatory approval from the
FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities, and we may never receive such regulatory approval for VG1177, MDT or any of our
other product candidates.
We have not previously submitted a biologics
license application, or a new drug application, or NDA, to the FDA, or similar drug approval filings to comparable foreign authorities,
for VG1177. We cannot be certain that our lead drug candidate or any other product candidate will be successful in clinical trials
or receive regulatory approval. Further, our lead drug candidate or any other product candidate may not receive regulatory approval
even if our clinical trials are successful. If we do not receive regulatory approvals for our lead drug candidate or any other
product candidate, we may not be able to continue our operations. Even if we successfully obtain regulatory approvals to market
our lead drug candidate or any other product candidate, our revenues will be dependent, in part, upon the size of the markets in
the territories for which we gain regulatory approval and have commercial rights. If the markets for patient subsets that we are
targeting are not as significant as we estimate, we may not generate significant revenues from sales of such products, if approved.
Clinical trials involve a lengthy and
expensive process with an uncertain outcome, and results of earlier studies and trials may not be predictive of future trial results.
VG1177, MDT and any future product candidate
that we may pursue will be subject to extensive regulation by the FDA in the United States and by other regulatory agencies in
foreign jurisdictions, including activities related to preclinical studies, human clinical trials, manufacturing, labeling, packaging
and sterilization, storage, recordkeeping, advertising, promotion, export, import, marketing and distribution and other possible
activities.
Our lead drug candidate, VG1177, is a proprietary,
computationally designed anti-inflammatory peptide. We expect to pursue FDA drug approval for VG1177 as a new chemical entity.
There may be other similar drug candidates in development by other companies and these candidates may gain FDA drug approval prior
to VG1177. We are conducting pre-clinical testing to support our IND for VG1177 and we have received feedback from the FDA regarding
our proposed trial. Based on the feedback we received from the FDA, we hope to submit the IND to the FDA in 2016 and commence patient
enrollment in our Phase I-clinical trial thereafter. As we move through the regulatory process, the FDA may make other suggestions
that may impact our ability to complete our clinical trials within the timeframe or budget that we are anticipating, which could
impact investors’ interest in our business and our stock price.
Our MDT combination with other cancer drugs
to treat late stage cancers is a proprietary use. There may be other similar drug candidates in development by other companies
and these candidates may gain FDA drug approval prior to our MDT compound. We are conducting phase I-clinical testing to support
our MDT compound in combination with Nexavar® for treatment of late-stage ovarian cancer, and the trial has been expanded to
encompass solid tumors, including breast, colon, lung, liver, and pancreatic cancers. Our Physician’s Investigational New
Drug, or P-IND, Phase I clinical trial has been completed according to the clinical plan, and we are awaiting the final analysis
from the lead physician. As we move through the regulatory process, the FDA may make other suggestions that may impact our ability
to complete our clinical trials within the timeframe or budget that we are anticipating, which could impact investors’ interest
in our business and our stock price.
The results of preclinical studies and clinical
trials of previously published similar products may not necessarily be indicative of the results of our future clinical trials.
Preliminary results may not be confirmed upon full analysis of the detailed results of an early clinical trial. Product candidates
in later stages of clinical trials may fail to show safety and efficacy sufficient to support intended use claims despite having
progressed through initial clinical trials. The data collected from clinical trials of our product candidates may not be sufficient
to obtain regulatory approval in the United States or elsewhere. Because of the uncertainties associated with drug development
and regulatory approval, we cannot determine if, or when, we may have an approved product for commercialization or whether we will
ever achieve sales or profits of VG1177 or other product candidates we may pursue in the future.
If our products do not gain market acceptance,
our business will suffer because we might not be able to fund future operations.
A number of factors may affect the market acceptance
of our products or any other products we develop or acquire, including, among others:
| · | the price of our products relative to
other products for the same or similar treatments; |
| · | the perception by patients, physicians
and other members of the healthcare community of the effectiveness and safety of our products for their indicated applications
and treatments; |
| · | our ability to fund our sales and marketing
efforts; and |
| · | the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts. |
If our products do not gain market acceptance,
we may not be able to fund future operations, including developing, testing and obtaining regulatory approval for new product candidates
and expanding our sales and marketing efforts for our approved products, which would cause our business to suffer.
Our research and development program
for drug candidates other than VG1177 and MDT is at an early stage, and we cannot be certain our program will result in the commercialization
of any drug.
Except for our development program for VG1177
and MDT, our research and development program targeting all other disease applications is at an early stage and, to date, we have
not developed any other product candidates generated in our TPT research program. Any product candidates we develop will require
significant additional research and development efforts prior to commercial sale, including extensive pre-clinical and clinical
testing and regulatory approval. This may require increases in spending on internal projects, the acquisition of third party technologies
or products, and other types of investments. We cannot be sure that our approach to drug discovery, acting independently or with
partners, will be effective or will result in the development of any drug. We cannot expect that any drug candidates that do result
from our research and development efforts will be commercially available for many years.
We have limited experience in conducting pre-clinical
testing and clinical trials. Even if we receive initially positive clinical trial results, those results will not guaranty that
similar results will be obtained in the later stages of drug development. Our current lead drug candidate and all of our potential
drug candidates are prone to the risks of failure inherent in pharmaceutical product development, including the possibility that
none of our drug candidates will be:
| · | safe, non-toxic and effective; |
| · | approved by regulatory authorities; |
| · | developed into a commercially viable drug; |
| · | manufactured or produced economically; |
| · | successfully marketed; or |
| · | accepted widely by customers. |
If we cannot commercialize any of our drugs,
we may not generate revenues and our Company may fail.
We may be unable to maintain sufficient
clinical trial liability insurance.
Our inability to obtain and retain sufficient
clinical trial liability insurance at an acceptable cost to protect against potential liability claims could prevent or inhibit
our ability to conduct clinical trials for product candidates we develop. We currently do not have clinical trial liability insurance
for VG1177 and would need to secure coverage before commencing patient enrollment for our Phase II P-IND clinical trials in the
United States. Any claim that may be brought against us could result in a court judgment or settlement in an amount that is not
covered, in whole or in part, by our insurance or that is in excess of the limits of our insurance coverage. We expect we will
supplement our clinical trial coverage with product liability coverage in connection with the commercial launch of our first product
candidate; however, we may be unable to obtain such increased coverage on acceptable terms or at all. If we are found liable in
a clinical trial lawsuit or a product liability lawsuit in the future, we will have to pay any amounts awarded by a court or negotiated
in a settlement that exceed our coverage limitations or that are not covered by our insurance, and we may not have, or be able
to obtain, sufficient capital to pay such amounts.
If product liability claims are brought
against us or we are unable to obtain or maintain product liability insurance, we may incur substantial liabilities that could
reduce our financial resources.
The clinical testing and commercial use of
pharmaceutical products involves significant exposure to product liability claims. We have, in the past, obtained limited product
liability insurance coverage for some of our clinical trials on humans; however, our insurance coverage may be insufficient to
protect us against all product liability damages. Further, liability insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive and
we might not be able to obtain or maintain product liability insurance in the future on acceptable terms or in sufficient amounts
to protect us against product liability damages. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in decreased
demand for a future product, injury to reputation, withdrawal of clinical trial volunteers, loss of revenue, costs of litigation,
distraction of management and substantial monetary awards to plaintiffs. Additionally, if we are required to pay a product liability
claim, we may not have sufficient financial resources to complete development or commercialization of any of our product candidates
and our business and results of operations will be adversely affected.
If we are unable to develop satisfactory
sales and marketing capabilities, we may not succeed in commercializing VG1177 or any other product candidate.
We have no experience in marketing and selling
drug products. We have not entered into arrangements for the sale and marketing of VG1177 or any other product. We are developing
VG1177 for large patient populations served by physicians. These patient populations may number in the millions. Typically, pharmaceutical
companies would employ groups of sales representatives and associated sales and marketing staff numbering in the hundreds to thousands
of individuals to call on this large number of physicians and hospitals. We may seek to collaborate with a third party to market
our drugs or may seek to market and sell our drugs by ourselves. If we seek to collaborate with a third party, we cannot be sure
that a collaborative agreement can be reached on terms acceptable to us. If we seek to market and sell our drugs directly, we will
need to hire additional personnel skilled in marketing and sales. We cannot be sure that we will be able to acquire, or establish
third party relationships to provide, any or all of these marketing and sales capabilities. The establishment of a direct sales
force or a contract sales force or a combination direct and contract sales force to market our products will be expensive and time-consuming
and could delay any product launch.
Further, we can give no assurances that we
may be able to maintain a direct and/or contract sales force for any period of time or that our sales efforts will be sufficient
to grow our revenues or that our sales efforts will ever lead to profits.
Even if we obtain regulatory approvals
to commercialize VG1177 or any other drug, our drug candidates may not be accepted by physicians or the medical community in general.
There can be no assurance that VG1177 or any
other product candidate successfully developed by us, independently or with partners, will be accepted by physicians, hospitals
and other healthcare facilities. VG1177 and any future product candidates we develop will compete with a number of similar drugs
and products manufactured and marketed by major pharmaceutical and medical technology companies. The degree of market acceptance
of any drugs we develop depends on a number of factors, including:
| · | our demonstration of the clinical efficacy and safety of VG1177 or
any other drug candidate; |
| · | timing of market approval and commercial launch of VG1177 or any other
drug candidate; |
| · | the clinical indication(s) for which VG1177 or any other drug candidate
is approved; |
| · | product label and package insert requirements; |
| · | advantages and disadvantages of our product candidates compared to
existing therapies; |
| · | continued interest in and growth of the market for auto-immune and/or
anti-inflammation drugs; |
| · | strength of sales, marketing, and distribution support; |
| · | product pricing in absolute terms and relative to alternative treatments; |
| · | future changes in healthcare laws, regulations, and medical policies;
and |
| · | availability of reimbursement codes and coverage in select jurisdictions,
and future changes to reimbursement policies of government and third party payors. |
Significant uncertainty exists as to the coverage
and reimbursement status of any product candidate for which we obtain regulatory approval. In the United States and markets in
other countries, sales of any products for which we receive regulatory approval for commercial sale will depend in part on the
availability of reimbursement from third-party payors. Third-party payors include government health administrative authorities,
managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations.
Our failure to successfully acquire,
develop and market additional drug candidates or approved drug products could impair our ability to grow.
As part of our growth strategy, we may evaluate,
acquire, license, develop and/or market additional product candidates and technologies. These investments will not constitute a
significant portion of our business. However, because our internal research capabilities are limited, we may be dependent upon
pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic scientists and other researchers to sell or license products or technology
to us. The success of this strategy depends partly upon our ability to identify, select and acquire promising pharmaceutical product
candidates and products. The process of proposing, negotiating and implementing a license or acquisition of a product candidate
or approved product is lengthy and complex. Other companies, including some with substantially greater financial, marketing, and
sales resources, may compete with us for the license or acquisition of product candidates and approved products. We have limited
resources to identify and execute the acquisition or licensing of third party products, businesses and technologies and integrate
them into our current infrastructure. Moreover, we may devote resources to potential acquisitions or in-licensing opportunities
that are never completed, or we may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of such efforts. We may not be able to acquire the
rights to additional product candidates on terms that we find acceptable, or at all.
In addition, future acquisitions may entail
numerous operational and financial risks, including:
| · | exposure to unknown liabilities; |
| · | disruption of our business and diversion of our management’s
and technical personnel’s time and attention to develop acquired products or technologies; |
| · | incurrence of substantial debt or dilutive issuances of securities
to pay for acquisitions; |
| · | higher than expected acquisition and integration costs; |
| · | increased amortization expenses; |
| · | difficulty and cost in combining the operations and personnel of any
acquired businesses with our operations and personnel; |
| · | impairment of relationships with key suppliers or customers of any
acquired businesses due to changes in management and ownership; and |
| · | inability to retain key employees of any acquired businesses. |
Any product candidate that we acquire may require
additional development efforts prior to commercial sale, including extensive clinical testing and approval by the FDA and applicable
foreign regulatory authorities. All product candidates are prone to risks of failure typical of pharmaceutical product development,
including the possibility that a product candidate will not be shown to be sufficiently safe and effective for approval by regulatory
authorities. In addition, we cannot provide assurance that any products that we develop or approved products that we acquire will
be manufactured profitably or achieve market acceptance.
If we do not have the resources necessary
to manage growth effectively, then our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
We believe that as our business plan is more
fully realized, we may experience a period of rapid growth that will result in new and increased responsibilities for management
personnel and will place a significant strain upon our management, operating and financial systems and resources. To accommodate
any rapid growth and to compete effectively and manage future growth, if any, we will be required to implement and improve our
operational, financial and management information systems, procedures and controls on a timely basis and to expand, train, motivate
and manage our workforce. Our personnel, systems, procedures and controls might not be adequate to support our existing and future
operations. Any failure to implement and improve our operational, financial and management systems or to expand, train, motivate
or manage employees could have a materially adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
We may be unable to obtain patents to
protect our technologies from other companies with competitive products, and patents of other companies could prevent us from manufacturing,
developing or marketing our products.
The patent positions of pharmaceutical and
biotechnology firms are uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has not
established a consistent policy regarding the breadth of claims that it will allow in biotechnology patents. If it allows broad
claims, the number and cost of patent interference proceedings in the United States and the risk of infringement litigation may
increase. If it allows narrow claims, the risk of infringement may decrease, but the value of our rights under our patents, licenses
and patent applications may also decrease. In addition, the scope of the claims in a patent application can be significantly modified
during prosecution before the patent is issued and/or narrowed in a patent re-examination. Consequently, we cannot know whether
our pending applications will result in the issuance of patents or, if any patents are issued, whether they will provide us with
significant proprietary protection or will be circumvented, invalidated, or found to be unenforceable. Until recently, patent applications
in the United States were maintained in secrecy until the patents issued, and publication of discoveries in scientific or patent
literature often lags behind actual discoveries. Patent applications filed in the United States after November 2000 generally will
be published 18 months after the filing date unless the applicant certifies that the invention will not be the subject of a foreign
patent application. We cannot assure you that, even if published, we will be aware of all such literature. Accordingly, we cannot
be certain that the named inventors of our products and processes were the first to invent that product or process or that we were
the first to pursue patent coverage for our inventions.
Our commercial success depends in part
on our ability to maintain and enforce our proprietary rights.
If third-parties engage in activities that
infringe our proprietary rights, our management's focus will be diverted and we may incur significant costs in asserting our rights.
We may not be successful in asserting our proprietary rights, which could result in our patents being held invalid or a court holding
that a third- party is not infringing, either of which would harm our competitive position. In addition, there can be no assurance
that others will not design around our patented technology.
Moreover, we may have to participate in interference
proceedings declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office or other analogous proceedings in other parts of the world
to determine priority of invention and the validity of patent rights granted or applied for, which could result in substantial
cost and delay, even if the eventual outcome is favorable to us. We cannot assure you that our pending patent applications, if
issued, would be held valid or enforceable. Additionally, many of our foreign patent applications have been published as part of
the patent prosecution process in such countries. Protection of the rights revealed in published patent applications can be complex,
costly and uncertain.
We also rely on trade secrets, know-how
and confidentially provisions in our agreements with our collaborators, employees and consultants to protect our intellectual property.
We rely on trade secrets and know how to protect
our intellectual property. During the course of our business, our employees, consultants and collaborators may be exposed to trade
secrets and know-how, the disclosure of which would adversely affect our business. Such parties have signed non-disclosure agreements
with us, however these parties may not comply with the terms of their agreements with us. If such parties violate these confidentiality
provisions, we might be unable to adequately enforce our rights against these parties or to obtain adequate compensation for the
damages caused by their unauthorized disclosure or use. Furthermore, our trade secrets or those of our collaborators may become
known or may be independently discovered by others.
Our success also depends on avoiding
infringement of the proprietary technologies of others.
In particular, there may be certain issued
patents and patent applications claiming subject matter that we or our collaborators may be required to license in order to research,
develop or commercialize our product candidates. In addition, third parties may assert infringement or other intellectual property
claims against us based on our patents or other intellectual property rights. An adverse outcome in these proceedings could subject
us to significant liabilities to third-parties, require disputed rights to be licensed from third-parties or require us to cease
or modify our use of the technology. If we are required to license such technology, we cannot assure you that a license under such
patents and patent applications will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Further, we may incur substantial costs defending
ourselves in lawsuits against charges of patent infringement or other unlawful use of another's proprietary technology.
We are subject to extensive government
regulations that may cause us to cancel or delay the introduction of our products to market.
Our research and development activities and
the clinical investigation, manufacture, distribution and marketing of drug products are subject to extensive regulation by governmental
authorities in the United States and other countries. Prior to marketing in the United States, federal laws, including the Federal
Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, require that a drug undergo rigorous testing and an extensive regulatory approval process implemented
by the FDA. To receive approval, we, or our collaborators must, among other things, demonstrate with substantial evidence from
well-controlled clinical trials that the product is both safe and effective for each indication where approval is sought. Depending
upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product and the nature of the disease or disorder to be treated, that approval process
can take several years and require substantial expenditures. Data obtained from testing is susceptible to varying interpretations
that could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approvals of our products. Drug testing is subject to complex FDA rules and regulations,
including the requirement to conduct human testing on a large number of test subjects. We, our collaborators, or the FDA may suspend
human trials at any time if a party believes that the test subjects are exposed to unacceptable health risks. There can be no assurance
that any of our product candidates will be safe for human use. Other countries also have extensive requirements regarding clinical
trials, market authorization and pricing. These regulatory schemes vary widely from country to country, but, in general, are subject
to all of the risks associated with United States approvals.
RISKS RELATED TO DEVELOPMENT AND REGULATORY
APPROVAL OF VG1177 AND MDT
We cannot be certain that VG1177 or MDT
will receive regulatory approval, and without regulatory approval we will not be able to market our product candidates.
Our business currently depends on the successful
development and commercialization of VG1177 and, to a lesser extent, on the successful development and commercialization of MDT.
Our ability to generate revenue related to product sales, if ever, will depend on the successful development and regulatory approval
of VG1177 and MDT for the treatment of our disease applications.
We currently have no products approved for
sale and we cannot guarantee that we will ever have marketable products. The development of a product candidate and issues relating
to its approval and marketing are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA in the United States and similar regulatory authorities
in other countries, with regulations differing from country to country. We are not permitted to market our product candidates in
the United States until we receive a New Drug Application, or NDA, approval from the FDA. We have not submitted any marketing applications
for any of our product candidates.
An NDA must include extensive preclinical and
clinical data and supporting information to establish the product candidate’s safety and effectiveness for each desired indication.
NDAs must also include significant information regarding the chemistry, manufacturing and controls for the product. Obtaining approval
of an NDA is a lengthy, expensive and uncertain process, and we may not be successful in obtaining approval. The FDA review processes
can take years to complete and approval is never guaranteed. If we submit an NDA to the FDA, the FDA must decide whether to accept
or reject the submission for filing. We cannot be certain that any submissions will be accepted for filing and review by the FDA.
Regulators of other jurisdictions have their
own procedures for approval of product candidates. Regulatory authorities in countries outside of the United States also have requirements
for approval of drug candidates with which we must comply prior to marketing in those countries. Obtaining regulatory approval
for marketing of a product candidate in one country does not ensure that we will be able to obtain regulatory approval in any other
country.
Even if a product is approved, the FDA may
limit the indications for which the product may be marketed, require extensive warnings on the product labeling or require expensive
and time-consuming clinical trials or reporting as conditions of approval. In addition, delays in approvals or rejections of marketing
applications in the United States or other countries may be based upon many factors, including regulatory requests for additional
analyses, reports, data, preclinical studies and clinical trials, regulatory questions regarding different interpretations of data
and results, changes in regulatory policy during the period of product development and the emergence of new information regarding
our product candidates or other products. Also, regulatory approval for any of our product candidates may be withdrawn.
We cannot predict whether our future trials
and studies will be successful or whether regulators will agree with our conclusions regarding the preclinical studies and clinical
trials we have conducted to date. If we are unable to obtain approval from the FDA or other regulatory agencies for VG1177, MDT
and our other product candidates, or if, subsequent to approval, we are unable to successfully commercialize VG1177, MDT, or our
other product candidates, we will not be able to generate sufficient revenue to become profitable or to continue our operations.
Clinical trials for our product candidates
are expensive, time-consuming, uncertain and susceptible to change, delay or termination.
Clinical trials are very expensive, time-consuming
and difficult to design and implement. Even if the results of our clinical trials are favorable, clinical trials usually continue
for several years and may take significantly longer to complete. In addition, we, the FDA, an Institutional Review Board, or other
regulatory authorities, including state and local authorities, may suspend, delay or terminate our clinical trials at any time
for various reasons, including:
| · | lack of effectiveness of our lead drug candidate or any other product
candidate during clinical trials; |
| · | discovery of serious or unexpected toxicities or side effects experienced
by study participants or other safety issues; |
| · | slower than expected rates of subject recruitment and enrollment rates
in clinical trials; |
| · | delays or inability in manufacturing or obtaining sufficient quantities
of materials for use in clinical trials due to regulatory and manufacturing constraints; |
| · | inadequacy of or changes in our manufacturing process or product formulation; |
| · | delays in obtaining regulatory authorization to commence a study,
including “clinical holds” or delays requiring suspension or termination of a study by a regulatory agency, such as
the FDA, before or after a study is commenced; |
| · | changes in applicable regulatory policies and regulations; |
| · | delays or failure in reaching agreement on acceptable terms in clinical
trial contracts or protocols with prospective clinical trial sites; |
| · | delay or failure to supply product for use in clinical trials that
conforms to regulatory specification; |
| · | unfavorable results from ongoing clinical trials and pre-clinical
studies; |
| · | failure by us, our employees, our CROs or their employees to comply
with all applicable FDA or other regulatory requirements relating to the conduct of clinical trials or the handling, storage, security
and recordkeeping for controlled substances; |
| · | failure to design appropriate clinical trial protocols; |
| · | scheduling conflicts with participating clinicians and clinical institutions;
and |
| · | failure to design appropriate clinical trial protocols. |
Any of the foregoing could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
There is a high rate of failure for drug
candidates proceeding through clinical trials.
Generally, there is a high rate of failure
for drug candidates proceeding through clinical trials. We may suffer significant setbacks in our clinical trials similar to those
experienced by a number of other companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Further, even if we view the results
of a clinical trial to be positive, the FDA or other regulatory authorities may disagree with our interpretation of the data. In
the event that we obtain negative results from the VG1177 or MDT planned clinical trials or receive poor clinical results for other
product candidates, or the FDA chooses to block progress of the trials due to potential Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls,
or CMC, issues or other hurdles or does not approve our NDA for VG1177 or MDT, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue
or obtain financing to continue our operations, our ability to execute on our current business plan will be materially impaired,
our reputation in the industry and in the investment community would likely be significantly damaged and the price of our stock
would likely decrease significantly.
Serious adverse events or other safety
risks could require us to abandon development and preclude, delay or limit approval of our product candidates, or limit the scope
of any approved label or market acceptance.
If VG1177, MDT, or any of our product candidates,
prior to, or after any approval for commercial sale, cause serious or unexpected side effects, a number of potentially significant
negative consequences could result, including:
| · | regulatory authorities may interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials; |
| · | regulatory authorities may deny regulatory approval of our product
candidates; |
| · | regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the product
or impose restrictions on its distribution in the form of a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy, or REMS; |
| · | regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements,
such as warnings or contraindications or limitations on the indications for use; |
| · | we may be required to change the way the product is administered or
conduct additional clinical trials; |
| · | we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients; or |
| · | our reputation may suffer. |
We may voluntarily suspend or terminate our
planned clinical trials if, at any time, we believe that they present an unacceptable risk to participants or if preliminary data
demonstrate that our product candidates are unlikely to receive regulatory approval or unlikely to be successfully commercialized.
In addition, regulatory agencies, institutional review boards or data safety monitoring boards may, at any time, order the temporary
or permanent discontinuation of our clinical trials or request that we cease using investigators in the clinical trials if they
believe that the clinical trials are not being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, or that they present
an unacceptable safety risk to participants. If we elect or are forced to suspend or terminate any planned clinical trial of VG1177,
MDT or any other of our product candidates, the commercial prospects for that product will be harmed and our ability to generate
product revenue from that product may be delayed or eliminated. Furthermore, any of these events could prevent us, or our partners,
from achieving or maintaining market acceptance of the affected product and could substantially increase the costs of commercializing
our product candidates and impair our ability to generate revenue from the commercialization of these products either by us or
by our strategic alliance partners. As of the date of this filing, we have had no adverse events in our P-IND Phase I study of
MDT.
Any failure by us to comply with existing
regulations could harm our reputation and operating results.
We will be subject to extensive regulation
by U.S. federal and state and foreign governments in each of the markets where we intend to sell VG1177 and MDT if, and when, they
are approved. For example, we will have to adhere to all regulatory requirements including the FDA’s current Good Clinical
Practices, Good Laboratory Practice and Good Manufacturing Practices requirements. If we fail to comply with applicable regulations,
including FDA pre-or post-approval current Good Manufacturing Practices requirements, then the FDA or other foreign regulatory
authorities could sanction us. Even if a drug is FDA-approved, regulatory authorities may impose significant restrictions on a
product’s indicated uses or marketing or impose ongoing requirements for potentially costly post-marketing studies.
If VG1177 or MDT is approved in the United
States, it will be subject to ongoing regulatory requirements for labeling, packaging, storage, advertising, promotion, sampling,
record-keeping and submission of safety and other post-market information, including both federal and state requirements in the
United States. In addition, manufacturers and manufacturers’ facilities are required to comply with extensive FDA requirements,
including ensuring that quality control and manufacturing procedures conform to current Good Manufacturing Practices. As such,
we and our contract manufacturers are subject to continual review and periodic inspections to assess compliance with current Good
Manufacturing Practices. Accordingly, we and others with whom we work must continue to expend time, money and effort in all areas
of regulatory compliance, including manufacturing, production and quality control. We will also be required to report certain adverse
reactions and production problems, if any, to the FDA, and to comply with requirements concerning advertising and promotion for
our products. Promotional communications with respect to prescription drugs are subject to a variety of legal and regulatory restrictions
and must be consistent with the information in the product’s approved label. As such, we may not promote our products for
indications or uses for which they do not have FDA approval.
If a regulatory agency discovers previously
unknown problems with a product, such as adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or problems with the facility where
the product is manufactured, or disagrees with the promotion, marketing or labeling of the product, a regulatory agency may impose
restrictions on that product or us, including requiring withdrawal of the product from the market. If we fail to comply with applicable
regulatory requirements, a regulatory agency or enforcement authority may:
| · | impose civil or criminal penalties; |
| · | suspend regulatory approval; |
| · | suspend any of our ongoing clinical trials; |
| · | refuse to approve pending applications or supplements to approved
applications submitted by us; |
| · | impose restrictions on our operations, including closing our contract
manufacturers’ facilities; or |
| · | seize or detain products or require a product recall. |
Any government investigation of alleged violations
of law could require us to expend significant time and resources in response, and could generate negative publicity. Any failure
to comply with ongoing regulatory requirements may significantly and adversely affect our ability to commercialize and generate
revenue from VG1177 or MDT. If regulatory sanctions are applied or if regulatory approval is withdrawn, the value of our Company
and our operating results will be adversely affected. Additionally, if we are unable to generate revenue from sales of VG1177 or
MDT, our potential for achieving profitability will be diminished and the capital necessary to fund our operations will be increased.
Any action against us for violation of these
laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses, divert our management’s
attention from the operation of our business and damage our reputation. We expend significant resources on compliance efforts and
such expenses are unpredictable and might adversely affect our results. Changing laws, regulations and standards might also create
uncertainty, higher expenses and increase insurance costs.
We are substantially dependent on our
ability to successfully and timely complete clinical trials and obtain regulatory approval to market our most advanced product
candidates, VG1177 and MDT. Our business will be materially harmed and our stock price adversely affected if regulatory approval
is not obtained with respect to these product candidates.
We intend to file an IND with the FDA for VG1177.
Due to the inability of our multiple pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic methods to produce a proper dose response curve, we intend
to modify VG1177 to increase stability, improve tolerability, and improve solubility. Pharmacokinetics refers to the direct study
and measurement of compounds in the blood as a function of time. Pharmacodynamics in this case refers to using a biological response
as a proximal measurement of a compound’s concentration in the body as a function of time. “
Stability refers to a compounds ability to
resist degradation and decomposition. Tolerability refers to how well a biological system responds to a compound or a compound’s
formulation, the latter includes the chemicals that allow the compound to be introduced into the biological system. Solubility
refers to the propensity for a compound to go into solution for a given solvent or chemical; in this case, we desire VG1177 to
possess greater affinity for aqueous or water-like chemicals. These common peptide modifications are not expected to alter VG1177’s
biological activity. Once we have completed these modifications and conducted validating studies, we intend to resume our animal
safety studies to support IND filing. We intend for lab research to continue using the original sequence of VG1177 in in vitro
and in vivo models. Our success will depend, to a great degree, on our ability to obtain the requisite regulatory approval
to market VG1177 overseas and in the United States. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals is costly, time consuming, uncertain,
and subject to unanticipated delays. In order to obtain the necessary regulatory approval, we must demonstrate with substantial
evidence from well-controlled clinical trials and to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory reviewing agency that VG1177
is both safe and efficacious. There is no assurance that we will be able to do so and, if we do, that the applicable regulatory
requirements for approval will have been met. We cannot predict the ability of third party service providers to collect the data
from our trials with VG1177, analyze the data, and deliver their final reports to us. There may be significant delays in this process.
Regulatory authorities may require additional testing for safety and efficacy, which would result in a substantial delay in the
regulatory approval process. If we fail to successfully obtain regulatory approvals for VG1177 or we face significant delays, our
business will be materially harmed and our stock price will be adversely affected.
Doctors at Scott & White Healthcare in
Temple, Texas, and the Cancer Therapy and Research Center at the University of Texas at San Antonio, are conducting a Phase I Physician’s
IND trial for patients with late-stage ovarian cancer utilizing an MDT compound, called hydroxychloroquine, for which we hold the
pending patent application for combination with an existing cancer drug, called sorafenib, which is marketed as Nexavar ®.
Since its inception in July 2012, the trial has been expanded to encompass solid tumors, including breast, colon, lung, liver,
and pancreatic cancers. Our Physician’s Investigational New Drug, or P-IND, Phase I clinical trial on late-stage patients
with solid tumors has finished its fourth cohort with maximum dosing, and we are completing the analysis of the results of those
trials. This trial is designed to assess the safety of a combination treatment using hydroxychloroquine, or HCQ, and sorafenib.
The combination treatment is designed to disrupt the metabolism of the cancer cells, making them more prone to the effects of sorafenib.
To date, patients in the P-IND Phase I trial have not experienced unacceptable levels of toxicity. Despite these results, we cannot
predict that our future clinical trials will be successful or will be approved by the FDA. If we fail to successfully obtain regulatory
approval for our MDT compound or if we face significant delays, our business will be materially harmed and our stock price will
be adversely affected.
We depend on various suppliers to supply
VG1177, our MDT compounds, and our other products.
We believe our current suppliers can produce
sufficient material to support ongoing study of VG1177, our MDT cancer study. However, if approved and/or successful in these studies,
we will have to source a manufacturer with significantly larger capacity. With regard to our drug programs and in particular the
TPT programs, prior to initiation of the studies it is also required that we secure a manufacturer that will be able to meet production
requirements that meet Good Manufacturing Practices and Good Laboratory Practices throughout the development process and possibly
through marketing and distribution. Our manufacturer is Ambiopharm, Inc. Ambiopharm synthesizes the peptide on a contract basis
for specific amounts. We do not currently have a contract or an exclusivity agreement with Ambiopharm. Ambiopharm is capable of
procuring Good Manufacturing Practices grade compounds, but we cannot be certain that they will be able to produce our product
in the future. Changing manufacturers of a drug product can involve significant regulatory delay while comparing products made
at the old manufacturer with products made at the new manufacturer. Consequently, while changing manufacturers is possible, it
is highly desirable to avoid doing so. There is no guarantee that we will be able to find a manufacturer that can meet our production
and distribution requirements throughout the life of our drug products. If we are required to change manufacturers, there will
likely be significant delays in our ability to study or, if approved, sell our drug products, which would materially harm our business
and adversely affect our stock price.
With regard to our MDT compounds, which are
used in combination with other existing drugs including drugs that are approved or have been deregistered by the FDA, the availability
of such third-party drugs cannot be guaranteed on terms that are reasonable or at all. While we do not anticipate manufacturing
issues in the foreseeable future, we are dependent on the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, or UTHSCSA,
for procurement of MDT compounds in our ongoing Phase I P-IND cancer trial. Disruption of the supply of these third party compounds
would delay or impair our ability to study our compounds in combination with them, and would have a materially harmful effect on
our business and adversely affect our stock price.
Clinical trials are long, expensive and
uncertain processes and overseas regulators and the FDA may ultimately not approve any of our product candidates.
We cannot assure you that data collected from
pre-clinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates will be sufficient to support approval by overseas regulators
or the FDA, the failure of which could delay our profitability and adversely affect our stock price.
All of our research and development programs
are at an early stage and clinical trials are long, expensive, and uncertain processes. Clinical trials may not be commenced or
completed on schedule, and government regulators may not ultimately approve our product candidates for commercial sale. Further,
even if the results of our pre-clinical studies or clinical trials are initially positive, it is possible that we will obtain different
results in the later stages of drug development or that results seen in clinical trials will not continue with longer-term treatment.
Drugs in late stages of clinical development may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy traits despite having progressed
through initial clinical testing. For example, positive results in early Phase I or Phase II clinical trials may not be repeated
in larger Phase II or Phase III clinical trials. All of our potential drug candidates are prone to the risks of failure inherent
in drug development. The clinical trials of any of our drug candidates, including VG1177, could be unsuccessful, which would prevent
us from commercializing the drug. Our failure to develop safe, commercially viable drugs would substantially impair our ability
to generate revenues and sustain our operations and would materially harm our business and adversely affect our stock price.
If we fail to maintain our existing or
establish new collaborative relationships, or if our collaborators do not devote adequate resources to the development and commercialization
of our licensed drug candidates, we may have to reduce our rate of product development and may not see products brought to market
or be able to achieve profitability.
We rely heavily upon our current collaborative
relationships with Dr. Newell Rogers, Dr. Evan Newell and Dr. Brett Mitchell, Scott & White Healthcare and Dr. Richard Tobin,
all of whom are engaged in biomedical research related to our product candidates. Because we currently have no product candidates
that are approved for sale and ready for commercialization, our success depends upon our ability to maintain our existing collaborative
relationships with our key partners. If we are unable to maintain these relationships, we may not be able to meet the requirements
for approval by the FDA or other comparable regulatory agencies and we may not achieve or maintain profitability.
For us to receive any significant revenues
from sale of our products, our collaborators must advance drug candidates through clinical trials, establish the safety and efficacy
of our drug candidates, obtain regulatory approvals and achieve market acceptance of those products. As a result, if a collaborator
elects to terminate its efforts, our ability to commercialize our products may be significantly impaired.
Below is a summary of the compensation that
we are obligated to pay to our consultant pursuant to our consulting agreements with them. All options and shares have been adjusted
to reflect our 1 for 600 reverse split on November 26, 2012, or the 2012 Reverse Split.

We also agreed to indemnify the consultants
against third party claims brought as a result of their good faith performances of services pursuant to the agreement.
If we fail to establish new collaborative
relationships, or if our new collaborators do not devote adequate resources to the development and commercialization of our licensed
drug candidates, we may have to reduce our rate of product development and may not see products brought to market or be able to
achieve profitability.
We may need to collaborate with additional
parties in order to gain approval of our product candidates. As we progress through the FDA approval stages, we may need to enter
into agreements in order to conduct the necessary studies. If we cannot obtain the partnership of such third parties on terms that
are acceptable, or at all, then we may never be able to sell any of our product candidates and we may fail.
Furthermore, we anticipate needing to enter
into new collaborative relationships in the future to manufacture, market and distribute our products. We have not entered into
such partnerships and do not expect to until an IND is approved and/or clinical trials in the United States have progressed. It
is likely we will grant exclusive commercialization and marketing rights to our products to third parties, and such parties will
have substantial control over the continued efforts in their territories and the resources they commit to the programs. Accordingly,
the success of the commercialization of our products in some or all territories may substantially depend on the efforts of third
parties and is to a degree beyond our control.
For us to receive any significant revenues
from sale of our products, any such collaborators must advance drugs through clinical trials, establish the safety and efficacy
of our drug candidates, obtain regulatory approvals and achieve market acceptance of those products. As a result, if a collaborator
elects to terminate its efforts, our ability to commercialize our products may be significantly impaired.
Because of the uncertainty of pharmaceutical
pricing, reimbursement, and healthcare reform measures, we may be unable to sell our products profitably.
The availability of reimbursement by governmental
and other third-party payors affects the market for any pharmaceutical product. These third-party payors continually attempt to
contain or reduce the costs of healthcare. There have been legislative and regulatory changes to the healthcare system recently,
including, most notably, the Affordable Care Act. Significant uncertainty exists with respect to the reimbursement status of newly
approved healthcare products under existing laws, including the new Affordable Care Act. It is uncertain whether reimbursement
will be available for any of our product candidates if and when they are approved at a rate that is acceptable to most patients,
if any reimbursement is available at all. We might not be able to sell our products profitably or recoup the value of our investment
in product development if reimbursement is unavailable or limited in scope.
As a result of intense competition and
technological change in the pharmaceutical industry, the marketplace may not accept our products, and we may not be able to complete
successfully against other companies in our industry and achieve profitability.
Many of our competitors have drug products
that have already been approved or are in development, and operate large, well-funded research and development programs in these
fields. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial and management resources, superior intellectual property positions
and greater manufacturing, marketing and sales capabilities, areas in which we have limited or no experience. In addition, many
of our competitors have significantly greater experience than we do in undertaking preclinical testing and clinical trials of new
or improved pharmaceutical products and obtaining required regulatory approvals. Consequently, our competitors may obtain FDA and
other regulatory approvals for product candidates sooner and may be more successful in manufacturing and marketing their products
than us or our collaborators. Existing and future products, therapies and technological approaches will compete directly with the
products we seek to develop. Current and prospective competing products may provide greater therapeutic benefits for a specific
problem, may offer easier delivery or may offer comparable performance at a lower cost. Any product candidate that we develop and
that obtains regulatory approval must then compete for market acceptance and market share. Our product candidates may not gain
market acceptance among physicians, patients, healthcare payors and the medical community. Further, any products we develop may
become obsolete before we recover any expenses we incurred in connection with the development of these products. As a result, we
may never achieve profitability.
If any of our products receive regulatory
approval, the approval will be limited to those disease states and conditions for which the product is safe and effective, as demonstrated
through clinical trials.
In addition, results of pre-clinical studies
and clinical trials with respect to our products could subject us to adverse product labeling requirements that could harm the
sale of such products. Even if regulatory approval is obtained, later discovery of previously unknown problems may result in restrictions
of the product, including withdrawal of the product from the market. Further, governmental approval may subject us to ongoing requirements
for post-marketing studies. Even if we obtain governmental approval, a marketed product, its respective manufacturer and its manufacturing
facilities are subject to unannounced inspections by the FDA and must comply with the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices
and other regulations. These regulations govern all areas of production, record keeping, personnel and quality control. If a manufacturer
fails to comply with any of the manufacturing regulations, it may be subject to, among other things, product seizures, recalls,
fines, injunctions, suspensions or revocations of marketing licenses, operating restrictions and criminal prosecution. Other countries
also impose similar manufacturing requirements.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
Trading in our common stock is limited
and the price of our common stock may be subject to substantial volatility.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB marketplace.
We expect our common stock to continue to be quoted on the OTCQB for the foreseeable future. Broker-dealers may decline to trade
in OTCQB stocks given the market for such securities is often limited, the stocks are more volatile and the risk to investors is
greater. These factors may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This
may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of their shares.
This could cause our stock price to decline.
Additionally, the price of our common stock
may be volatile as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:
| · | our ability to successfully conceive and
to develop new products; |
| · | our ability to obtain customers and demand
for our products; |
| · | the timing and level of market acceptance
of our new products; |
| · | our ability to successfully manage any
future acquisitions of businesses, solutions or technologies; and |
| · | price and volume fluctuations in the stock
market at large which do not relate to our operating performance. |
“Penny stock” rules may make
buying or selling our securities difficult which may make our stock less liquid and make it harder for investors to buy and sell
our securities.
Trading in our securities is subject to the
SEC’s “penny stock” rules and it is anticipated that trading in our securities will continue to be subject to
the penny stock rules for the foreseeable future. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any
equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules require that any
broker-dealer who recommends our securities to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors must, prior to the sale,
make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute
the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny
stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market.
In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current
quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these requirements may discourage
broker-dealers from recommending transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the liquidity of our securities and
consequently adversely affect the market price for our securities.
The price of our common stock may fluctuate
substantially.
You should consider an investment in our common
stock to be risky, and you should invest in our common stock only if you can withstand a significant loss and wide fluctuations
in the market value of your investment. Some factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate, in addition
to the other risks mentioned in this “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this annual report are:
| · | sale of our common stock by our stockholders,
executives, and directors; |
| · | volatility and limitations in trading
volumes of our shares of common stock; |
| · | our ability to obtain financings to conduct
and complete research and development activities including, but not limited to, our human clinical trials, and other business activities; |
| · | our ability to secure resources and the
necessary personnel to conduct clinical trials on our desired schedule; |
| · | commencement, enrollment or results of
our clinical trials of VG1177 or any future clinical trials we may conduct; |
| · | changes in the development status of VG1177; |
| · | any delays or adverse developments or
perceived adverse developments with respect to the FDA’s review of our planned pre-clinical and clinical trials; |
| · | any delay in our submission for studies
or product approvals or adverse regulatory decisions, including failure to receive regulatory approval for VG1177; |
| · | our announcements or our competitors’
announcements regarding new products or services, enhancements, significant contracts, acquisitions or strategic investments; |
| · | unanticipated safety concerns related
to the use of VG1177; |
| · | failures to meet external expectations
or management guidance; |
| · | changes in our capital structure or dividend
policy; |
| · | announcements and events surrounding financing
efforts, including debt and equity securities; |
| · | our inability to enter into new markets
or develop new products; |
| · | competition from existing technologies
and products or new technologies and products that may emerge; |
| · | announcements of acquisitions, partnerships,
collaborations, joint ventures, new products, capital commitments, or other events by us or our competitors; |
| · | changes in general economic, political
and market conditions in or any of the regions in which we conduct our business; |
| · | changes in industry conditions or perceptions; |
| · | changes in valuations of similar companies
or groups of companies; |
| · | analyst research reports, recommendation
and changes in recommendations, price targets, and withdrawals of coverage; |
| · | departures and additions of key personnel; |
| · | disputes and litigations related to intellectual
properties, proprietary rights, and contractual obligations; |
| · | changes in applicable laws, rules, regulations,
or accounting practices and other dynamics; and |
| · | other events or factors, many of which may
be out of our control. |
In addition, if the market for stocks in our
industry or industries related to our industry, or the stock market in general, experiences a loss of investor confidence, the
trading price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause our stock price to fall and may expose us to lawsuits that, even if unsuccessful,
could be costly to defend and a distraction to management.
If an active, liquid trading market for
our common stock does not develop, you may not be able to sell your shares quickly or at or above the price you paid for it.
Although our common stock is listed on the
OTCQB marketplace, an active and liquid trading market for our common stock has not yet and may not ever develop or be sustained.
You may not be able to sell your shares quickly or at or above the price you paid for our stock if trading in our stock is not
active.
We do not intend to pay cash dividends
on our shares of common stock so any returns will be limited to the value of our shares.
We currently anticipate that we will retain
future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash
dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return to stockholders will therefore be limited to the increase, if any, of our share
price.
Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock
have special voting rights that allow them to out vote all common stock holders on any voting matter.
Our Series A Preferred stock may vote as common
stock on all matters requiring shareholder approval. Additionally, the Series A Preferred stock has special voting rights that
allow the aggregate Series A Preferred votes to be 1.01 times greater than the aggregate number of votes for the issued and outstanding
common stock. This means that the Series A Preferred shareholders may out vote all the common stock shareholders on any and all
matters requiring shareholder approval, which may make it difficult to complete some corporate transactions without the support
of the Series A Preferred shareholders and may prevent a change in control. As of December 31, 2014, our Chairman of our Board
and Vice President of Research and Development held 5,573,725 or 57.4% of the issued and outstanding Series A preferred stock.
Our management holds significant control
over our voting stock and may be able to control our Company indefinitely.
Our management has significant control over
our voting stock, which may make it difficult to complete some corporate transactions without their support and may prevent a change
in control. As of December 31, 2014, our management owned or had the rights to acquire 74.9% of our common stock and the Chairman
of our Board and Vice President of Research and Development owned 57.4% of the Series A Preferred stock.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Pursuant to the Strategic Collaboration Agreement, MedBridge Development
Company, LLC, or MDC, has agreed to and is currently providing us with approximately 3,000 square feet of office space in Santa
Barbara, California, which serves as our principal executive offices. Under this agreement the value of this service as well as
other services is convertible into shares of common stock. We do not have any lease agreements in place. We believe that our properties
will be adequate to meet our needs through the foreseeable future.
ITEM 3. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS.
We may be involved from time to time in ordinary
litigation, negotiation and settlement matters that will not have a material effect on our operations or finances. We are not aware
of any pending or threatened litigation against us or our officers and directors in their capacity as such that could have a material
impact on our operations or finances.

Equity Incentive Plan
On December 20, 2013, our Board of Directors
approved an equity incentive plan which provides for up to 12,000,000 shares of common stock to be issued under the terms and conditions
of such plan. This plan was subsequently approved by a majority vote of the stockholders on December 30, 2013. The purpose of the
plan is to provide a means by which eligible recipients of stock awards may be given an opportunity to benefit from increases in
value of the common stock through the granting of the following stock awards: (i) incentive stock options, (ii) non-statutory stock
options, (iii) restricted stock awards and (iv) stock appreciation rights. We, by means of the plan, seek to retain the services
of the group of persons eligible to receive stock awards, to secure and retain the services of new members of this group and to
provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of our Company and our affiliates.
On January 2, 2015, our Board of Directors
approved an amendment of the 2013 equity incentive plan to increase the share reserve that may be issued per the plan from 12,000,000
shares of common stock to 18,000,000 shares of common stock. All of the terms of the 2013 equity incentive plan were unaffected
by the amendment and remain in full force and effect.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Use of Proceeds from
Registered Securities
Since
January 1, 2012, we have issued the securities indicated below. Unless otherwise indicated, each of the securities described below
was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) as a transaction not involving
a public offering or as a transaction made offshore to non-U.S. persons. None of the offerings were registered or qualified in
any jurisdiction. In each case, the number of investors was limited, the investors were either accredited or otherwise qualified,
had access to material information about us, and restrictions were placed on the resale of the securities. Certain amounts of the
common stock were issued, as noted, as free trading since the consideration rendered for the common stock was rendered more than
twelve months prior to the issuance of the common stock. References to pre-split shares and related amounts indicate changes resulting
from our 1-for-600 reverse stock split effective November 26, 2012 and references to dates subsequent to that date are for post-split
shares. The volume weighted average price, or VWAP, refers to the average closing price of our common stock multiplied by the trading
volume for the twenty-day period before the notice of exercise or conversion. All shares listed have been adjusted for the effect
of the stock split.

19, 2015, we exercised our right to issue a put notice in the amount of $25,000 under our agreement with Dutchess Opportunity Fund
II, L.P. The pricing period ran from March 19, 2015 to March 25, 2015 with a suspension price of $0.06 per share. The per share
purchase price floor was calculated as $0.0664 in the pricing period. We received $5,713 of these funds and issued 89,800 shares
to Dutchess.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer
and Affiliated Purchasers
We did not repurchase any of our common stock
during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Business Overview
We are a drug discovery and development company
researching two core technologies: Targeted Peptide Technology, or TPT, which is currently our main focus, and Metabolic Disruption
Technology, or MDT, which is our secondary focus. We have one drug research program in clinical stage, a MDT therapy, which helps,
in combination, with other drugs to fight cancers with solid tumors in situations where the cancer is resistant to the initial
cancer drug therapy. Our MDT trials were initially for ovarian cancer, but have since expanded to include other solid tumors, including
those located in the breast, colon, liver, lung, and pancreas. Additionally, we have one drug research program in pre-clinical
stages, a TPT therapy for HIV/AIDS using VG1177, our computationally designed peptide. This TPT therapy requires significant additional
work before the commencement of clinical trials, including favorable animal toxicity study results and then regulatory review and
approval of protocols, as well as additional financing.
Our research and development programs are based
on technology that Dr. M. Karen Newell Rogers developed while working at the University of Colorado, the University of Vermont,
and Texas A&M University. We hold the exclusive license to this technology. We have also collaborated with a multitude of scientists
and clinicians at universities throughout the country, including Stanford University, Harvard University, and the Scott & White
Healthcare Center, where we test TPT in inflammatory disease applications in which we believe TPT could have a benefit.
Plan of Operation
Current Studies
Physician’s IND Phase I
study
Our Physician’s Investigational New Drug,
or P-IND, Phase I clinical trial on late-stage patients with solid tumors is entering its fourth cohort with maximum dosing, and
we are completing the analysis of the results of those trials. This trial is designed to assess the safety of a combination treatment
using hydroxychloroquine, or HCQ, and a cancer drug sorafenib, which is currently marketed as Nexavar®. The combination treatment
is designed to disrupt the metabolism of the cancer cells, making them more prone to the effects of sorafenib. To date, patients
in the P-IND Phase I trial have not experienced unacceptable levels of toxicity. On March 14, 2014, we reported two clinical responses
in cohort 3 with disease stabilization in a patient with four months of disease stabilization in a patient with metastatic ovarian
cancer, which has spread throughout portions of the body, and five months of disease stabilization in a patient with triple-negative
breast cancer, which is a type of cancer that does not express three genes that are key to traditional cancer treatment, making
treatment more difficult. The final patient in cohort number 3 has stage IV, or metastatic, adenocarcinoma of the lung, which is
a common form of lung cancer, and has four separate lung lesions. During the course of the study, the four lesions have all regressed
about 20% in size. We hold an exclusive license to the use patent application for this combination treatment.
This study, funded in part by a grant of $1.5
million to the Scott and White Foundation, is being conducted at the Cancer Therapy and Research Center at the University of Texas
Health Sciences Center at the San Antonio Institute for Drug Development, or CTRC, and Scott and White Hospital, or S&W, in
Temple, Texas, under primary investigator, Dr. Tyler Curiel. The study is being carried out by physicians and scientists at the
CTRC, with the close involvement of Dr. M. Karen Newell Rogers and a liaison employed by the Company to coordinate administration
and communication. Also, the Institutional Review Board of the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio has approved
further study to include all solid tumors, which include breast, colon, lung, liver, pancreatic, and other types of cancers.
VG1177
In October 2013, we contracted ITR Canada,
Inc. to conduct IND-enabling animal safety studies with our patented peptide VG1177. Due to the inability of our multiple pharmacokinetic
and pharmacodynamic methods to produce a proper dose response curve, that is, using direct and indirect methods for measuring peptide
exposure in vivo, we intend to modify VG1177 to increase stability, improve tolerability, and improve solubility. Stability
refers to a compound’s ability to resist degradation and decomposition. Tolerability refers to how well a biological system
responds to a compound or a compound’s formulation, the latter includes the chemicals that allow the compound to be introduced
into the biological system. Solubility refers to the propensity for a compound to go into solution for a given solvent or chemical;
in this case, we desire VG1177 to possess greater affinity for aqueous or water-like chemicals. These common peptide modifications
are not expected to alter VG1177's biological activity. Once we have completed these modifications and conducted validating studies,
we intend to resume our animal safety studies. Concurrently, we intend for lab research to continue using the original sequence
of VG1177 in vivo and in vitro. We now expect these studies to conclude in early 2016. These animal safety studies
are the next important step to move toward clinical trials.
Plans
With the completion of the P-IND Phase I study
with the combination treatment for solid carcinomas, we anticipate an expanded Phase I trial or a Phase II trial, though we presently
do not have the funds to pursue this further development.
We have authorized and funded an animal study
to develop our proprietary peptide VG1177, a series of studies that we believe will be complete in early 2016, and assuming adequate
funding, we intend to initiate a Phase I study using an injectable form of VG1177 thereafter.
Results of Operations
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments
and estimates. The critical accounting policies affecting our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our
financial statements are discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in “Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data” of this annual report on Form 10-K. We believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical
in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements because they involve the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments
about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows,
we consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Development Stage Enterprise
We are a development stage company and will
continue to be considered as such until we have our own significant operations and revenues. We do not currently have any revenue
and expect to continue to incur substantial additional research, development and operating costs related to the continuation of
the development of therapeutic and diagnostic pharmaceutical and medical products.
Impaired Asset Policy
We follow generally accepted accounting policies
related to accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This provides for a single accounting model for long-lived
assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations. Long-lived assets are measured at the lower of carrying amount
or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or discontinued operation.
Reclassifications and Restatements
Certain amounts from prior periods have
been reclassified with respect to the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 to conform to the current period presentation.
These reclassifications have not resulted in any material changes to our accumulated deficit of the net losses presented.
Research and Development
We charge research and development expenses
to operations as incurred.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions
regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions
and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
We compute loss per share in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face
of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of outstanding common shares during the period. The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effects
of stock options and warrants. Dilutive loss per share is equal to the basic loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2014
and 2013 because common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would
be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. We calculate fair value based
on assumptions that market participants use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to our Company. In addition,
the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including the entity’s own credit risk.
A fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs
is established. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair
value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels and which is determined
by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
These levels are:
Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted
quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted
prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active,
and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated
by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable
and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow
models, and similar techniques.
Our financial instruments consist of: cash,
notes payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued interest, convertible notes payable and various forms of convertible
indebtedness. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value based on their liquidity, their short-term
nature or application of appropriate risk based discount rates to determine fair value. These financial assets and liabilities
are valued using level 2 inputs, except for cash, which is at level 1. We are not exposed to significant interest, exchange or
credit risk arising from these financial instruments, except that certain convertible instruments may be satisfied in shares of
common stock at the option of the holder and in some instances by us, which per share price can fluctuate.
Stock-Based Compensation
We record stock-based compensation by using
the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments
are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever
is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are
measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the asset
and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets
and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
We have recorded a full valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax asset associated with our accumulated losses $16.1 million
to zero, which is the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
Concentration of Credit Risk
We have financial instruments that are exposed
to concentrations of credit risk and consist primarily of cash. We routinely maintain cash and temporary cash investments at certain
financial institutions and, from time to time, these amounts are substantially in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
or FDIC, insurance limits. We believe that these financial institutions are of high quality and the risk of loss is minimal. At
December 31, 2014, we had no cash balances in excess of FDIC limits.
Compensated Absences
We have not accrued a liability in accordance
with ASC 710, as the amount of the liability cannot be reasonably estimated at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date
the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to us but which will only be resolved when one or more future events
occur or fail to occur. Our management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves
an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted
claims that may result in such proceedings, our legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted
claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates
that it is possible that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability
would be accrued in our consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency
is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability,
together with an estimate of range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Revenue
We have not generated any revenue from product
sales or royalties from product sales to date. We do not expect to earn revenues until we have received FDA approval to market
our products, if that occurs.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses increased
7% or $57,185 to $865,702 in 2014 as compared to $808,517 in 2013. Of this, we incurred $752,503 in cash expenditures in 2014 as
compared to $561,641 in 2013 with respect to new testing and research. This included testing being conducted for us by ITR Canada,
under which payments began in the fourth quarter of 2013. ITR expense increased by $277,823 to $400,201 in 2014 as compared to
$122,378 in 2013, as a result of a complete 12 months of research in 2014. Other expenditures consisted principally of compensation
to consultants and advisors assisting in development of our licensed science. Included were reimbursement of certain expenses incurred
related to the development of our licensed patents by the University of Texas, including fees for Dr. Newell’s services pursuant
to a funding agreement with Dr. M. Karen Newell, Scott & White, a non-profit organization, and us. Non-cash expenses decreased
by $132,109 to $114,767 in 2014 to $246,876 in 2013. The principal reason for the decrease was the issuance of warrants with a
fair value of $150,000 in 2013 to a consultant, which did not repeat in 2014, partially offset by an increase in other stock based
compensation, net.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased
33% or $442,772 to $911,355 in 2014 as compared to $1,354,127 in 2013. Cash expenditures increased by $126,808 to $292,120 in 2014
as compared to $165,312 in 2013. The increase is primarily related to increased computer costs, insurance costs, including directors
and officers insurance, and a reduction of miscellaneous liabilities recorded in 2013, increased general and administrative expenses
in 2014, partially offset by decreases in travel, rent and other miscellaneous administrative costs. In 2014 we incurred a non-cash
charge of $618,975 in stock based compensation for the fair value of common stock options granted in 2014 pursuant to the 2013
Equity Incentive Plan as compared to $1,197,468 in 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to a lower price and volatility
of our common stock in 2014 as compared to 2013.
Certain employee salaries and consulting fees
are not paid in cash as incurred under the respective agreements, but are evidenced by unsecured, convertible, non-interest bearing
notes due December 31, 2015. The holder may convert any amount of these notes prior to maturity at a 20% discount from the 20
day volume weighted average price, or VWAP, on the conversion date. All notes that remain outstanding on maturity will automatically
convert into common shares at a 20% discount from the 20 day VWAP upon maturity.
Interest Expense and Interest Income
Interest expense, substantially all noncash
charges, increased by 157% or $1,684,045 to $2,759,950 in 2014 from $1,075,905 in 2013. Interest includes accretion of debt discount
of $2,477,199 in 2014 and $1,017,795 in 2013, or an increase of $1,459,404 associated with the fair value of warrants granted in
connection with financing transactions principally in the form of convertible debenture and warrants in 2014 and 2013.
Derivative Benefit (Expense)
Derivative benefit (expense) was a benefit
of $679,659 in 2014 as compared to an expense of $2,495,663 in 2013. Derivative benefit (expense), a non-cash charge, consists
principally of the fair valuation of instruments with variable conversion features and the period to period changes in these amounts.
These 2013 and 2014 amounts were principally attributable to amended and restated convertible promissory notes, modifications with
DMBM, convertible notes payable to certain officers and consultants and with respect to other transactions related to satisfactions
of liabilities in shares.
Management Salaries
Management salaries, including fees, increased
$208,818 or 27% to $981,250 in 2014 as compared to $772,432 in 2013. This increase was largely in connection with the $174,000
increase in fees for services provided by MedBridge Development Company incurred in 2014 as compared to 2013 and in executive services
funded by the MedBridge Venture Fund financing, both of which arrangements originated in 2013. These increases are attributable
to a full year of services in 2014 as compared to 2013.
Legal and Professional Fees
Legal and professional fees increased by 49%
or $424,120 to $1,298,253 in 2014 as compared to $874,133 in 2013. This was principally due to increased accounting and auditor
fees related to our preparation and filing with the SEC of our Form 10, which included fees for prior years’ audits as necessary
for inclusion, partially offset by a reduction in counsel fees incurred in registering patents and licenses of our licensed sciences.
In 2014, this legal and professional non-cash expenses included approximately $174,000 of fair value of common stock issued for
certain accounting services and for legal fees.
Consulting Fees
Consulting fees decreased by 12% or $11,360
to $87,061 in 2014 and from $98,421 in 2013, principally due to decreases for services related to investor relations and other
expenses.
Net Loss
Our net loss attributable to common shareholders
for 2014 decreased by $1,230,218 to $6,189,504 as compared to $7,419,722 for 2013. Operating expenses increased by 6% or $235,991
to $4,143,621 in 2014 as compared to $3,907,630 for the comparable period of 2013. Aggregate non-cash expenses incurred in 2014
approximated $2,078,723 as compared to $3,571,568 in 2013, a decrease of $1,492,845. The principal reasons for the decrease were
a reduction in derivative expense of $3,175,322 in 2014 as compared to 2013; offset by an increase in interest expense, including
accretion of discount, of $1,684,045 in 2014 as compared to 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We reported a net loss attributable to common
shareholders of $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2014, our accumulated deficit amounted to $106
million. In the future, we may raise additional capital from external sources in order to continue the longer term efforts contemplated
under our business plan. We expect to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future and may need to raise additional capital
to pursue our product development initiatives, to penetrate markets for the sale of our products and continue as a going concern.
We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital. Our management believes that we have access
to capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other means,
if needed; however, we can provide no assurance that new financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if needed.
Sources of Liquidity
As of December 31, 2014, we had cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $34,000. Those funds have since been utilized. Subsequent to December 31, 2014, we received $29,000
from related and unrelated parties as described in our 2014 consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
Since our inception, substantially all of our operations have been financed through sales of equity securities and loans. The following
are financing transactions pursuant to which we have received proceeds in the year ended December 31, 2014, transactions pursuant
to which we received commitments and/or proceeds in the post December 31, 2014 balance sheet period and pursuant to which we may
be contractually entitled to receive additional proceeds.
DMBM, Inc.
On July 1, 2013, we entered into a release
and settlement agreement with DMBM, Inc. modifying the conversion price of convertible debentures aggregating $130,000 issued for
services through December 31, 2014 to JTL Enterprises Corp. and acquired by DMBM. Through January 2014, $130,000 in debentures
issued to JTL were acquired by DMBM. Through December 31, 2014 DMBM has made $121,500 in payments and is delinquent in its payment
obligation for the remaining balance. JTL has the right to demand that we make payments pursuant to the terms of the original notes.
We have not received such demand. The release and settlement agreement provides that in order to retire the debt we issue shares
of common stock at the lower of $0.05 per share or at a discount of 30% from the average of the closing price for the 14 trading
days prior to the date of conversion of the JTL notes acquired by DMBM. On September 11, 2014, DMBM submitted a notice of conversion
to us pertaining to the above mentioned note purchase agreements and converted $68,000 outstanding principal balance and received
1,360,000 common shares at $0.05 per share. At December 31, 2014, the balance due to DMBM in accordance with the R & S is $62,000.
Effective on January 1, 2013, we entered into
an amended and restated amendment to convertible debentures with DMBM. In consideration of change in conversion prices on outstanding
debentures, the right to receive interest was waived by DMBM and DMBM relinquished its right to receive payment in cash. For advances
made in 2012 or before, the debt may be converted into common shares at the lower of $0.21 per share or a 30% discount to the volume-weighted
average closing price for the 14 trading days prior to conversion. For advances made in 2013, the debt may be converted into common
shares at the lower of $0.05 per share or a 30% discount to the volume-weighted average closing price for the 14 trading days prior
to conversion. Under terms of the underlying debentures, DMBM may not engage in any conversions of debt to shares including under
the amended terms if upon receipt of such shares DMBM would beneficially own an aggregate number of shares greater than 9.99% of
our total issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
On September 15, 2013, we entered into a convertible
promissory note and warrant purchase agreement with DMBM pursuant to which, through December 31, 2014, DMBM funded $220,000 in
cash advances in exchange for an unsecured convertible note, due September 15, 2015, with an interest at the rate of 8% per annum.
Of the proceeds, $86,667 was received in 2013, and $133,333 was received in 2014. DMBM received a warrant to purchase 880,000 shares
of our common stock at $0.45 per share, exercisable for the period from the fourth year anniversary to the fifth year anniversary
from the date of the agreement. The warrant includes a cashless exercise feature. If the note or any portion of it are not converted
by DMBM prior to maturity, then on maturity the outstanding amount of the note and accrued interest will automatically be converted
into common stock at the conversion price of $0.0588. In the event that we are in default at maturity, the balance due under the
note would be payable in cash. Shares will be issuable on conversion of the note in total in four equal tranches of 25% each on
the following dates: December 15, 2014, March 15, 2015, June 15, 2015 and September 15, 2015, to the extent not earlier converted.
Under certain circumstance, while the note is outstanding, the conversion price shall be adjusted to the lower price at which we
issue shares or other securities convertible into shares or exercisable for shares, except for issuances related to borrowings
from banks or similar financial institutions; securities issued to employees, consultants, officers or directors pursuant to any
compensation plan approved by the board of directors and limited to 15% of the then outstanding common stock; or securities in
a public offering with an aggregate offering price to the public of at least $50,000,000.
KED Consulting Group
On January 24, 2014, we entered into a convertible
promissory note and warrant purchase agreement with KED Consulting Group LLC, pursuant to which KED is obligated to provide $270,000
in funding at a rate of 8% interest per annum; $100,000 was paid directly in satisfaction of a Company vendor liability and $170,000
was paid to us in installments in 2014. The notes issued under this agreement are due September 15, 2015 and can be converted at
any time into common shares, with a mandatory conversion at maturity. KED received warrants to purchase 1,080,000 shares of common
stock at $0.45 per share, upon execution of this agreement. The warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part, on or after the fourth
anniversary of the issue date and up to the and including the fifth anniversary. Shares will be issuable on conversion of these
notes in total in four equal tranches of 25% each on the following dates: December 15, 2014, March 15, 2015, June 15, 2015 and
September 15, 2015, to the extent not earlier converted, at the conversion price per share, or $0.0588. All proceeds were received
by December 31, 2014. Of the $270,000: $100,000 was paid directly in satisfaction of a vendor liability, and $170,000 was paid
in cash in installments. Debt discount of $270,000 was recorded of which $190,700 was amortized to interest expense in the year
ended December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2014, these notes were convertible into 4,591,837 common shares. The warrant includes
a cashless exercise feature.
Effective on March 15, 2015, we entered into
a convertible promissory note and warrant purchase agreement with KED pursuant to which KED agreed to 12 monthly payments of $50,000
commencing on March 15, 2015 in the aggregate amount of $600,000 in exchange for a convertible promissory note and warrants. The

of KED in four equal tranches on June 15, 2015, September 15, 2015, December 15, 2015 and March 15, 2016 at a conversion price
10% lower than the lowest three day average closing prices of our common stock starting on January 12, 2015 and ending on February
11, 2015 which was $0.0582. Any amount remaining outstanding upon maturity will automatically be converted into shares of common
stock at the conversion price. We also issued to KED a warrant to purchase four shares of common stock for each $1 of principal
at $0.45 per share, or a total of 2,400,000 shares of common stock, exercisable on any date from the four-year anniversary to the

default provision, among others, which states that if KED is delinquent in any monthly payment which is not cured within 10 days
of written or electronic notice to KED by us, than we may cancel the agreement. In that event KED would be entitled to retain notes
and that number of warrants associated with payments made prior to the default.

Dutchess Opportunity Fund II, L.P.
On March 28, 2014, as amended May 9, 2014,

may purchase up to that number of common shares having an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000. This agreement is referred to
as an Equity Line. Under terms of the investment agreement, we may, at our sole discretion, deliver a put notice to Dutchess stating
the dollar amount of common shares, which we intend to sell to Dutchess on a closing date. The maximum amount that Dutchess can
be required to purchase at any one time shall be equal to (1) 200% of the average daily volume for the three trading days immediately
preceding the formal date of the notice to Dutchess or (2) $150,000, determined at our sole discretion. The share purchase price
is 94% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price of our common stock for the five consecutive trading days beginning with
the notice date and the ensuing four trading days. The investment agreement is for a term of three years from the date of execution,
or, if earlier, the sale of $5,000,000 or written notice to Dutchess by us. We amended the original investment agreement to require
us to file a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC covering five million common shares, or the registrable securities,
that may be issued under the investment agreement within 30 days of the completion of the review of the Form 10 by the SEC. The
SEC notified us that the required registration statement with respect to the registrable securities, was declared effective on
February 11, 2015. On March 19, 2015, we exercised our right to issue a put notice in the amount of $25,000. The pricing period
runs from March 19, 2015 to March 25, 2015 with a floor price of $0.06 per share. The per share purchase price was calculated as
$0.0664 in the pricing period. We received $5,713 of these funds and issued 89,800 shares of common stock to Dutchess.

shares divided by the exchange price which is equal to the volume-weighted average closing price of our common stock for the 20
trading days immediately prior to the date of notice by MDC. Any unpaid principal due at the maturity date will automatically be
exchanged for shares of our common stock using the maturity date as of the date of notice. For each share of stock issued for conversion of debt owed
under the line of credit, we shall issue MDC a warrant to purchase a share of common stock for 100% of the price at which the debt
under the revolving line of credit were converted. Upon default,
MDC is entitled to receive interest on the outstanding principal balance and any other advances and charges advanced by MDC at
a per annum rate of the lesser of 12% per annum or the maximum interest rate allowed by law.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders
of VG Life Sciences, Inc. (Formerly Viral Genetics,
Inc.)
Santa Barbara, California 93101
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of VG Life Sciences, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December
31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for
each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2014 and for the cumulative development stage period from July
11, 1995 (inception) to December 31, 2014. Our report on the cumulative statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit
and cash flows from July 11, 1995 to December 31, 2014, in so far as it relates to amounts for periods on or prior to
December 31, 2004, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. VG Life Sciences, Inc.’s management is responsible
for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of VG Life Sciences, Inc.
as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period
ended December 31, 2014, and for the cumulative development stage period from July 11, 1995 (inception) to December 31, 2014, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated
financial statements have been prepared assuming that VG Life Sciences, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in
Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, VG Life Sciences, Inc. has suffered recurring losses from operations and its limited
capital resources raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to
these matters is described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements
Years Ended December
31, 2014 and 2013 and
For
the Period from July 11, 1995 (Inception) to December 31, 2014
NOTE 1
– ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
VG Life Sciences Inc. (the “Company”
or “VGLS”), formerly Viral Genetics, Inc., was incorporated in California on July 11, 1995 and is in the development
stage. The Company is engaged in research and development of therapeutic and diagnostic pharmaceutical and medical products. The
Company was acquired by a publically traded Delaware Corporation and became a reporting issuer on October 1, 2001. On November
5, 2001, the publically traded company changed its name to Viral Genetics, Inc. The Company terminated registration with the SEC
on March 24, 2009. The Company became a reporting issuer again on August 22, 2014. On November 26, 2012, the Company’s name
was changed to VG Life Sciences, Inc. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.
As

Disruption Technology, (“MDT”). As of December 31, 2014 all subsidiaries were inactive.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
This summary of significant
accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements
and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These
accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and
have been consistently applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
Management believes that the
accompanying consolidated financial statements and financial information for each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013
and for the period from July 11, 1995 (Inception) to December 31, 2014 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States, consistently applied; that all material matters necessary for a fair presentation are
included and disclosed to the extent necessary and that all material adjustments have been made.
Going Concern
As of December 31, 2014, the
Company had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of approximately $106 million and requires substantial additional
funds to continue its research and development, to support its operations and to achieve its business development goals, the attainment
of which are not assured. The Company has been able to satisfy certain liabilities with convertible indebtedness and common shares
and enter into debt settlement arrangements, facilitated by third party financing, with vendors and creditors for substantial amounts
of its various financial obligations. Convertible instruments have also been converted into equity. In March 2013, the Company
also entered into arrangements with related parties under which it has and will continue to receive certain financial and administrative
support and services through March 18, 2015 and has consummated related party and unrelated convertible debenture and warrant agreements
from which it has and will receive cash and executive services (from related parties only). However, substantial indebtedness remains
and substantial recurring losses from operations and additional liabilities continue to be incurred.
These factors and uncertainties
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities
that might incur in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. Management has designed plans for sales of the Company’s
future pharmaceutical related products. Management intends to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings, from
debt financing and debt restructuring to provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth and fully implement its
business plan. However, management can give no assurance that these funds will be available in adequate amounts, or if available,
on terms that would be satisfactory to the Company.
The timing and amount of the
Company’s capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the need for funds to support research and
development, (ii) payment requirements to sustain licensing rights, (iii) demand for new products and services, (iv) the availability
of opportunities for international expansion through affiliations, (v) maintaining its status as a public company and supporting
shareholder and investor relations, (vi) the need to establish and maintain current and new business relationships, and (vii) for
other general corporate business purposes.
Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying financial
statements include those of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements
of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Development Stage Enterprise
The Company is a development
stage company and will continue to be considered as such until it has its own significant operations and revenues. The Company
does not currently have any revenue and expects to continue to incur substantial additional research, development and operating
costs related to the continuation of the development of therapeutic and diagnostic pharmaceutical and medical products.
Impaired Asset Policy
The Company follows generally
accepted accounting policies related to Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This provides for a single
accounting model for long -lived assets to be disposed of by sale, including discontinued operations. This policy requires that
these long -lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing
operations or discontinued operations.
Reclassifications and Restatements
Certain
amounts from prior periods have been reclassified with respect to the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 to conform to the
current period presentation. These reclassifications have not resulted in any material changes to the Company’s accumulated
deficit or the net losses presented.
Research and Development
Research and development
expenses are charged to operations as incurred.
Use of Estimates
The
process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Such
estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon
settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
The Company computes loss
per share in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings
per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. The treasury stock method is used to
determine the dilutive effects of stock options and warrants. Dilutive loss per share is equal to the basic loss per share for
the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 because common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as
the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value
should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions
specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including
the entity’s own credit risk.
A fair value hierarchy for valuation
inputs is established. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring
fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels and which is determined
by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
These levels are:
Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted
prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 – inputs are based
upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that
are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can
be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – inputs are generally
unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the
asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted
cash flow models, and similar techniques.
The Company’s financial instruments
consist of cash, notes payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accrued interest, convertible notes payable and various
forms of convertible indebtedness. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value based on their
liquidity, their short-term nature or application of appropriate risk based discount rates to determine fair value. These financial
assets and liabilities are valued using level 2 inputs, except for cash which is at level 1. The Company is not exposed to significant
interest, exchange or credit risk arising from these financial instruments, except that certain convertible instruments may be
satisfied in shares of common stock at the option of the holder and in some instances by the Company, which per share price can
fluctuate.
Stock- Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based
compensation by using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the
issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the
equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services
received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income
taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax asset associated with its
accumulated losses to zero, which is the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company has financial
instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk and consist primarily of cash. The Company routinely maintains cash
and temporary cash investments at certain financial institutions in amounts substantially in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. Management believes that these financial institutions are of high quality and
the risk of loss is minimal.
Compensated Absences
The Company
has not accrued a liability in accordance with ASC 710, as the amount of the liability cannot be reasonably estimated at
December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist
as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when
one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities,
and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that
are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates
the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought
or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency
indicates that it is possible that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated
liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially
material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of
the contingent liability, together with an estimate of range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
New Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statement and does
not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on
its financial position or results of operations.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates subsequent events through the
date when financial statements are issued.

V- Clip Acquisition
V-Clip
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“V-Clip”) was formed by the Company and other founding shareholders (44% owned by the
Company and 56% owned by other founding shareholders) as the vehicle to acquire rights to certain patents and patent
applications (owned by the University of Colorado) in the fields of diagnosis and treatment of HIV, AIDS, Hepatitis C, and
Herpes developed by Karen Newell, PhD, at the University of Colorado. In November 2007, the University of Colorado granted to
V-Clip, a subsidiary of the Company, an exclusive worldwide license of the University’s patent rights to make, use,
sell, offer to sell, and import any licensed products pertaining to patented technology owned by the University relating to
the diagnosis and treatment of HIV, AIDS, Hepatitis C and Herpes. As part of the license, the Company had the right to
acquire the 56% of V-Clip not already owned by the Company. Successful completion of preliminary tests indicated a match
between the Company’s own work and compounds predicted by Dr. Newell’s work. As a result, the Company exercised
its right to acquire the remainder of V- Clip in October 2008. The Company exercised its option to obtain the remaining 56%
of V-Clip that it did not already own and merged V-Clip into the Company as a wholly -owned subsidiary. In connection with
the transaction, valued by the Company at $803,836, the Company issued 44,472 (26,683,078 pre-split) common shares and 73,091
(43,854,355 pre-split) warrants to purchase common shares at prices between $18.00 ($0.03 pre-split) and $169.20 ($0.282
pre-split) per share.
Colorado/Vermont
Effective in December 2009,
the Company entered into agreements with the University of Vermont and the University of Colorado (together the “Universities”)
whereby it agreed to reimburse them for certain prior patent costs they incurred for a Metabolic Disruption portfolio totaling
approximately $248,000. On December 3, 2009, the Company issued two 5% Unsecured Convertible Notes to the Universities evidencing
these obligations pursuant to the Company’s licensing agreements with these institutions. Royalties and milestone payments
are payable by the Company upon completion of certain milestones, including FDA clinical trial approval and commercialization,
as well as upon sublicensing of the rights. The Company now holds exclusive direct licenses to the underlying patents, patents
rights, patent applications and other rights.
Carcinotek Acquisition
In
March 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of Carcinotek in exchange for five million shares of Series A Preferred Shares.
Through this transaction, the Company obtained the last remaining rights to use of the TNP technology that were not previously
owned by the Company – in this case, those relating to cancer and other applications.

Agreement, pursuant to which DMBM will provide cash advances for unsecured convertible notes in the amount of $220,000 and warrants
to purchase an aggregate 880,000 common shares of the Company at $0.45 per share. If the notes or any portion of them are not converted

Effective

9.99% of the total issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.

on December 29, 2010, the Company and Timothy & Thomas, LLC ("T&T") entered into a Release and Settlement Agreement
in order to settle litigation between them. The Company originally issued a Convertible Debenture to T&T for a total of
$1,900,000 payable over the course of three years, as follows: $1,000,000 by November 1, 2011; $450,000 by November 1, 2012; and
$450,000 by November 1, 2013, with a stated interest rate of 0.35%. On November 8, 2011, the Company issued 136,093 (81,655,691
pre-split) of its common shares in satisfaction of a $1,000,000 principal payment, plus $6,982 of accrued interest, due November
1, 2011. In 2013, $37,500 of the debt was converted for 375,000 common shares. At December 31, 2014 and 2013 the gross liability
of $862,500 was recorded at its net present value of $587,097 and $543,452, respectively, determined using an 8% discount rate.
The debt may be converted into common shares at the 15-day volume-weighted average closing price prior to the conversion.
At
December 31, 2014 and 2013, unsecured convertible debentures and other vendor notes consisted of the following:

The
unsecured debentures were due in one year of the date of their original issuance and were classified as current liabilities. These
securities were generally convertible at 70% of the volume weighted average price following the record date of the Company’s
1-600 reverse stock-split ($0.261). In the year ended December 31, 2014, these investors elected to convert the principal amounts
of their notes into a longer term investment in the Company with terms and conditions similar to the July 13, 2013 MedBridge Venture
Fund transaction and are now included in Convertible Debentures – Other Parties. These investors waived any interest earned
on the original notes to the date of their conversions.
Vendor
notes are payable to two parties in the amounts of $98,250 at December 31, 2014 and 2013; and $62,000 and $118,750 at December
31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, the $98,250 component is convertible into 1,257,500 common shares at
prices of $0.05-$0.10 per share and the $62,000 component is convertible into 1,412,622 common shares at the lower of $0.05 per
share or 70% of the 14-day average closing price prior to the conversion date ($0.044 at December 31, 2014).
On January 24,
2014, KED Consulting Group LLC, (“KED”) entered into a Convertible Promissory Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with
the Company in the amount of $270,000. The notes are unsecured, bear interest at 8% per annum, and are convertible into common
shares at $0.0588 per share. KED also received warrants to purchase 1,080,000 shares at $0.45 per share on execution of this agreement,
exercisable at any time from the four year anniversary to the fifth year anniversary of this arrangement. Shares will be issuable
on conversion of these notes in total in four equal tranches (25% each) on the following dates: December 15, 2014, March 15, 2015,
June 15, 2015 and September 15, 2015, to the extent not earlier converted, at the conversion price per share ($0.0588). All proceeds
were received by December 31, 2014. Of the $270,000: $100,000 was paid directly in satisfaction of a Company vendor liability,
and $170,000 was paid in cash in installments. Debt discount of $270,000 was recorded of which $190,700 was amortized to interest
expense in the year ended December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2014, these notes were convertible into 4,591,837 common shares. All
warrants have a cashless exercise feature.
Effective March
1, 2014, investors in unsecured 6% Convertible Debentures aggregating a total of $215,000 exchanged these debentures and any associated
warrants, waived any defaults, and accrued and penalty interest on the notes for an equal principal amount under a Convertible
Promissory Notes and Warrants Purchase Agreement with the same terms and conditions as described in the preceding paragraph. These
investors received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 860,000 common shares, with the same terms and conditions as described
preceding paragraph. Debt discount of $215,000 was recorded of which $159,541 was amortized as interest expense in the year ended
December 31, 2014. This amount, net of unamortized discount, is included in Convertible Debt – Other. At December 31, 2014,
these notes were convertible into 3,656,463 common shares. All warrants have a cashless exercise feature.
On August 22,
2014, the Company entered into and received $50,000 in proceeds of a Convertible Promissory Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement
with an unrelated third party. This agreement entitles the investor to advance up to maximum of $150,000 through August 21, 2015.
In exchange, we issued the investor a convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $50,000 and a warrant to purchase
200,000 shares of our common stock. The note has an annual interest rate of 8% and is convertible at the option of the holder in
four equal tranches on November 22, 2015, February 22, 2016, May 22, 2016 and August 22, 2016, including accrued interest. The
maturity date of this note is August 21, 2016. The conversion price of the note is $0.114 per share and is convertible into 438,596
common shares at December 31, 2014. The warrant is exercisable for 200,000 common shares and has an exercise price of $0.8552 per
share and shall be exercisable from August 22, 2018 until August 22, 2019. In the event that this party has not elected to convert
the entire principal and interest remaining owing on or prior to the maturity date, then the outstanding principal and interest
shall automatically be converted into common shares at the conversion price. Should the holder invest the maximum additional proceeds,
he would be entitled to receive an additional 400,000 warrants at the defined exercise price at that time. The warrant has a cashless
exercise feature.
NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The years
ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, rental expense related to office and laboratory space was $0 and $21,660, respectively. The Company’s
office lease expired on September 30, 2013, at which time the offices were relocated to the MedBridge Development Company offices
in Santa Barbara, California. MedBridge Development Company is paid $20,000 per month for services, office space, financial support
and staff. See Note 5.
Effective
January 1, 2011, the Company entered into five–year employment and consulting agreements with its President and CEO and other
certain consultants requiring annual base salaries and fees and stock option grants in each year. The options are granted annually.
Their exercise price will be the VWAP based upon the 20 days after the grant date and will be fully vested on grant and expire
in December 2018. The agreements are generally cancellable by the Company with a one year severance provision in the event of termination
without cause by the Company, or no severance if terminated by the Company in the event of “good reason” as defined
in the agreements. Otherwise, no severance is due. The Company terminated two agreements with consultants covered by these agreements
effective December 31, 2012. Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 include stock based compensation of $688,179 and $1,292,844,
respectively. This represents the fair value of the options vesting in the period determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model. The consulting agreements with the Chief Scientist and one other consultant provide for royalties based on sales. Each party
also entered into a non-interest bearing Unsecured Revolving Credit Note with the Company, which provides for the conversion of
unpaid compensation under these employment and consulting agreements into shares of the Company. Future minimum base salary commitments
under these agreements approximate $594,000 for the year ending December 31, 2015.
Under an
Assignment of Patent agreement between the Company and Therapeutic Genetics, Inc. (“TGI”), the Company, among other
things, is obligated to pay a royalty of 5% of the gross sales of any products derived directly from an early technology studied
by the Company. Subsequently, that royalty was assigned to Therapeutic Genetics, LLC. The royalty is payable for a period equal
to the life of the patent underlying the products being sold. The owners of Therapeutic Genetics LLC are substantially the same
as the original founders of the Company.
In
March 2013, the Company, Dr. M. Karen Newell, Ph.D. (the Company’s Chief Scientist pursuant to her consulting
agreement and Scott & White Healthcare entered into a two year Funding Agreement to reimburse the Company for its sole
sponsorship of the Phase I clinical trial research expenses it has or will incur during the term of the agreement, conducted
for the benefit of the Company’s licensed MDT and TPT technologies. The agreement can be cancelled by any party to it
on 30 days advance notice, but all parties would remain obligated for their performance through the date or any such
termination. The Company is currently discussing a revision of the Funding Agreement with Scott & White Healthcare. This
research is in part funded through grants and other non-Company funding provided to the lab of Dr. M. Karen Newell Rogers
from donated funds received for this purpose by Scott & White Healthcare (a non-profit organization)
(“S&W”). Among other obligations under this agreement, the Company must (i) indemnify Scott & White and
Dr. Newell from and against all liabilities, claims, losses and damages they may incur arising from this agreement or any act
or omission of the Company related to its sponsorship of the clinical trial and (ii) procure and maintain certain commercial
general, professional liability and clinical professional liability insurance in the amount of $10 million for damages that
may arise from the agreement or any act or omission by the Company related to the Company’s sponsorship of the clinical
trial. Payments by Scott & White are to total $410,852 plus an additional $63,000 on behalf of Dr. Newell for past
expenses of the Company related to the preparation and drafting of the study protocol. In the year ended December 31, 2013,
the Company received $403,578, in reimbursements from Scott & White Health Sciences Center at San Antonio (including
$63,000 on behalf of Dr. Newell). Through December 31, 2013, $267,927 has been paid to the University of Texas by the Company
and the remaining $135,650 is included in accrued expenses. Actual amounts determined upon completion will be recorded at
that time. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has agreed to incur at least $100,000 of expenses associated with the
clinical trial during the term of this agreement.
Effective
in July 2013, the Company and S&W entered into a Patent License Agreement with respect to certain intellectual property and
patents developed or co-developed by Dr. M. Karen Newell for her employer, Texas A &M University Hospital Science Center (“HSC”).
HSC has previously granted S&W the exclusive right to market and license these rights. Under the agreement, S&W grants
the Company an exclusive license under the patent rights and intellectual property to make, have made, use and sell the Licensed
Products worldwide and in all applications, to the end of the patent term. The term shall last to the expiration of the last patent
rights. The US and International provisional patent rights include MHC Engagement and CLIP Modulation for the Treatment of Disease,
CLIP Modulation for the Treatment of Mucosal Diseases, Cancer Biomarkers and Therapeutics and Methods and Products For Treating
Preeclampsia and Modulating Blood Pressure. The Company may terminate this agreement on 90 days advance written notice. S&W
may cancel the agreement by giving notice of a material breach by the Company which is not cured within 60 days after receipt of
notice to cure the breach.
Among
other terms and conditions contained in the agreement, the Company was required to make an initial $50,000 payment to S&W,
and is obligated to make royalty payments to S&W of 3% of net sales (on an as collected basis) in developed countries and
0.5% of net sales in underdeveloped countries (as defined by the World Bank), of licensed products or services requiring their
use, subject to adjustment as defined in the agreement. In order to maintain the license, the Company must pay S&W minimum
annual consideration, in combination with the aforementioned royalties, as follows:
(a) |
Calendar Year 2013, payable January 1, 2014 |
$ |
20,000 |
(b) |
Calendar Year 2014, payable January 1, 2015 |

$ |
150,000 |
(f) |
Calendar Year 2018, payable January 1, 2019 and each January 1 year thereafter through the expiration of the Agreement |
$ |
200,000 |
The
Company is in compliance with these payment terms, except that the payment due January 1, 2015 has not been made.
In
addition, the Company is obligated for certain milestone payments –
| · | For each Phase I clinical trial - $100,000 |
| · | Upon successful conclusion of each Phase III clinical trial or any
other clinical trial following a Phase II clinical trial for each licensed product - $500,000 |
| · | Upon each regulatory/market approval on each licensed product/indication
- $2,000,000. |
The Company may sublicense its rights to parties that are
satisfactory to S&W, and must pay royalties to S&W as indicated above, for receipts derived from net sales of products.
There may be certain reductions in the event the Company must pay consideration to third parties.
The Company
is responsible for prosecution and maintenance of the patent rights after the effective date and will be directly responsible for
such future expenses of filing and protection of patent claims, including counsel fees. The agreement contains other obligations
on the Company for timely periodic reporting of its activities and other matters that are material to maintenance of the patent
rights.
Equity Line
On March
28, 2014, as amended May 9, 2014, September 4, 2014 and February 4, 2015 the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (“the
Agreement”) with Dutchess Opportunity Fund II L.P. (“Dutchess”) whereby Dutchess may purchase up to that number
of common shares having an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000. This agreement is referred to by the parties as the Equity Line.
Under terms of the Agreement, the Company may, at its sole discretion, deliver a Put Notice to Dutchess stating the dollar amount
of common shares, which the Company intends to sell to Dutchess on a closing date. The maximum amount that Dutchess can be required
to purchase at any one time shall be equal to (1) 200% of the average daily volume for the three trading days immediately preceding
the formal date of the notice to Dutchess or (2) $150,000, determined at the sole discretion of the Company. The share purchase
price is 94% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price of Company stock for the 5 consecutive trading days beginning with
the notice date and the ensuing four trading days. The Agreement is for a term of three years from the date of execution, or, if
earlier, the sale of $5,000,000 or written notice to Dutchess by the Company. The Company and Dutchess amended the original agreement
to require the Company to file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or other appropriate form) with the SEC covering 5 million
common shares, the registrable securities, that may be issued under the Investment Agreement within 30 days of the completion of
the review of the Form 10 by the SEC. The Company was notified by the SEC that the required registration statement filed by the
Company with respect to the registrable securities, was declared effective on February 22, 2015.
NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY AND EXPENSE
Fair value
is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability.
The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability,
not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance
risks including the entity’s own credit risk.
A fair value
hierarchy for valuation inputs is established. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which
inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels
and which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
These levels are:
Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted
prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 – inputs are based
upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that
are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can
be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – inputs
are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use
in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing
models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
The Company uses the liability
method in accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be
in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
The
potential benefit of net operating loss carry forwards has not been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements
since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be realized in future years.
The
Company is subject to United States federal and state income taxes at an approximate rate of 34%. The reconciliation of the provision
for income taxes at the United States federal statutory rate compared to the Company’s income tax expense as reported for
the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:
| |
2014 | | |

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect
of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The significant
components of future income tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:
| |

$ | – | | |
$ | – | |
The
Company has recognized a valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets for which it more likely than not that the realization
will not occur. The valuation allowance is reviewed periodically. When circumstances change and this causes a change in management’s
judgment about the realizeability of deferred tax assets, the impact
of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in current income.
The net
operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes are approximately $47,400,000 and $43,700,000 at December 31, 2014 and
2013, respectively, and will begin to expire in 2015. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries have ever been the
subject of an examination of the Internal Revenue Service. Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, use of the
Company’s net operating loss carryforwards may be limited if the Company experiences a cumulative change in ownership
greater than 50% in a moving three year period. Ownership changes could impact the Company’s ability to utilize its net
operating losses and credit carryforwards remaining at the ownership change date. The limitation would be determined by the
fair market value of common stock outstanding prior to the ownership change, multiplied by the applicable federal rate. The
Company has never had an examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
NOTE 9 – PREFERRED STOCK
Effective
November 27, 2012 the Company reduced the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock from 250,000,000 to
10,000,000. At December 31, 2013, 10,000,000 Series A Preferred Stock shares are authorized and 9,715,443 shares have been
issued and are outstanding. Effective on July 15, 2014 authorized shares of Series A Preferred shares were increased to
20,000,000 with a par value of $0.0001 per share; 9,715,443 preferred shares are issued and outstanding at December 31, 2014.
The Series A Preferred shares are convertible into 161,924 shares of common stock.
The Series A
Preferred Shares are not redeemable by the Company, and rank on par with Company common stock in the payment of dividends of
any kind being declared on common stock. There is no sinking fund provision for the Series A Preferred Shares. The issued
Series A Preferred Shares vote as common stock in all matters presented to stockholders for approval, but have special voting
rights such that the aggregate of all then issued, outstanding and unconverted Series A Preferred Shares possesses a number
of votes equal to all of the then issued and outstanding common shares of the Company multiplied by 1.01. The effect of the
voting rights is that the holders of common stock by definition possess fewer aggregate votes than the aggregate of the then
issued, outstanding and unconverted Series A Preferred Shares stockholders. Series A Preferred Shares are exchangeable into
shares of common stock at the rate of ten (10) shares of common stock for each share of Series A preferred stock. The Series
A Preferred Shares have an aggregate liquidation preference of $1,000,000 such that in the event of the dissolution, winding-down, or other liquidation of the Company the Series A Preferred Shares holders shall receive the first $1,000,000 of net
proceeds after payment of debts. Following the payment of this liquidation preference, the holders of common stock would
receive the next $1,000,000 of net proceeds. All other remaining net proceeds would then be split ratably between the Series
A preferred stockholders and common stockholders on an as-converted basis. The effect of the liquidation preference is to
subordinate the claims of the common stockholders on residual net proceeds after such a winding down, liquidation or
dissolution, and to reduce by $1,000,000 the overall claims common stockholders hold on residual assets after payment of
debts.
The holders of any majority of
the then issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Shares have the authority to require all holders of Series A Preferred Shares
to exercise the conversion feature described above. Other than where transferred for estate planning purposes, the Series A Preferred
Shares automatically convert to shares of common stock upon any transfer.
NOTE 10 – COMMON STOCK
Effective
November 27, 2012 the Company completed several changes to its capital structure and changed its name from Viral Genetics,
Inc. to VG Life Sciences Inc. As a result of the capital structure changes, the numbers of authorized shares of common stock
were reduced to 60,000,000 and preferred stock was reduced to 10,000,000. The 1-for -600 reverse stock split resulted in the
cancellation of 920,837,717 pre-split shares of common stock which left 1,694,761 post-split shares of common stock
outstanding. In the consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit, the reverse stock split has been reflected as if
it occurred on December 31, 2011, due to the extended equity (deficit) history presented in this consolidated statement. At
December 31, 2013, the total number of shares of common stock authorized was 150,000,000 shares with a par value per share of
$0.0001.
The Company has reserved the following
shares for issuance or conversions related to outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible securities based upon transactions
consummated through December 31, 2014:

As of December 31, 2014, the
weighted average remaining contractual life of warrants outstanding approximated 42 months and the weighted average exercise price
per common share approximated $0.35.
During the year ended December 31,
2013, the fair value of each option granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. In 2013, 1,377,963 warrants
were issued as payment for services and were valued at $150,000.
Substantially
all warrants and option conversion rights were exercisable at December 31, 2014 except for options granted pursuant to the
2013 Equity Incentive Plan and those warrants which are exercisable for a one year period commencing four years after the
date of purchase of the corresponding notes with which they were associated.

Prior
to the adoption of the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, there was no formal stock option plan in place. Stock options were issued by
the Company for services as deemed appropriate.
During the year ended December
31, 2014 and 2013, the fair value of each option granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model using the following
assumptions: risk free interest of 2.17%-3.04% and 3.04%, respectively; volatility of 125%-274% and 274% respectively; expected
life of 5 years; and no expected dividends. The value of these options was $688,179 and $1,292,844 in 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Option costs are included in Research and Development ($69,204 in 2014 and $95,376 in 2013) and General and Administrative Expense
($618,975 in 2014 and $1,197,468 in 2013) in the periods presented.
Adoption of 2013 Equity Incentive Plan
On
December 30, 2013, the Stockholders approved the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. Persons eligible to receive
stock awards are employees, directors and consultants. The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to retain the services of the
group of persons eligible to receive Stock Awards, to secure and retain the services of new members of this group and to
provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and its Affiliates. Stock awards
include: (i) Incentive Stock Options (employees only), (ii) Non-statutory Stock Options, (iii) Restricted Stock Awards and
(iv) Stock Appreciation Rights. The Board of Directors of the Company is designated as the Plan administrator and, among
other things, (i) has the right to determine which persons shall receive stock awards, when and how and in what quantities
(ii) reduce the exercise price of any option (iii) cancel and re -grant a new option covering the same or different numbers
of shares of Common Stock, but not less than for newly granted stock awards, with certain exceptions. The termination date of
the Plan shall be December 20, 2024. The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a committee or committees of one or
more members of the Board. The common stock that may be issued pursuant to Stock Awards shall not exceed 12,000,000 shares of
common stock, subject to adjustment for any change in common stock without the receipt of consideration.
Unless the grantee under the Plan
is a 10% Stockholder, the exercise price of each Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of
the Common Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted. The exercise price of a Non-statutory Stock Option or
Restricted Stock Award shall not be less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of common stock on the date the option is granted. However,
a Restricted Stock Award may be awarded as a stock bonus, that is, with no cash purchase price to be paid.
A
10% Stockholder shall not be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless the exercise price of such Option is at least 110% of
the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration five
years from the date of grant. A
10% Stockholder shall not be granted a Non-statutory
Stock Option unless the exercise price of such Option is at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date
of grant, nor shall a 10% Stockholder be granted a Restricted Stock Award or Stock Appreciation Right (if such award could be settled
in shares of Common Stock), unless the purchase price of the restricted stock is at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock on the date of grant.
The purchase price of Common
Stock acquired pursuant to an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, either (i)
in cash at the time the Option is exercised or (ii) at the discretion of the Board at the time of the grant of the Option (or subsequently
in the case of a Non-statutory Stock Option) (1) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock, (2) according to a deferred
payment or other similar arrangement with the Option holder or (3) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable
to the Board.
The Plan is currently administered
by the Company’s Board which has the authority to delegate administration of the Plan to a committee. The following table

amount of $25,000. The pricing period runs from March 19, 2015 to March 25, 2015 with a floor price of $0.06 per share. The
per share purchase price was calculated as $0.0664 in the pricing period.
Effective on January 12, 2015
the Company and MVF entered into a Convertible Promissory Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement pursuant to which MVF agreed to provide
services as defined in the agreement in the amount of $862,500 during the period from January 12, 2015 to December 31, 2015. The
services being provided by MVF include a management team comprised of a President and CEO, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating
Officer, Controller, corporate project manager, grant application coordinator, finance administrative assistant and public relations
resources. The note matures December 31, 2015, and has an interest rate of 8% per annum. Principal and accrued interest are convertible
at the option of MVF in four equal tranches on March 31, 2015, June 30, 2015, September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015 at a conversion
price 10% lower than the lowest three day average closing prices of the Company’s common stock starting on January 12, 2015
and ending on February 11, 2015 ($0.0582). Any amount remaining outstanding upon maturity will automatically be converted into
common shares at the conversion price. The Company also issued on January 12, 2015 warrants to purchase four common shares for
each $1 of principal at $0.45 per share (3,450,000), exercisable on any date from the four-year anniversary to the five-year anniversary
from the date of the agreement. These warrants will have a cashless exercise feature.
Effective on March 15, 2015 the
Company and KED entered into a Convertible Promissory Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement pursuant to which KED agreed to a twelve
monthly payments of $50,000 commencing on March 15, 2015 in the aggregate amount of $600,000. The note matures March 15, 2016,

exercisable on any date from the four-year anniversary to the five-year anniversary from the date of the agreement. These warrants
will have a cashless exercise feature. The agreement contains a default provision, among others, which states that if KED is delinquent
in any payment which is not cured within 10 days of written or electronic notice to KED by the Company, than the Company may cancel
the agreement. In that event KED would be entitled to retain that number of warrants associated with payments made prior to the
default.
On
April 13, 2015, the Company entered into an unlimited, unsecured revolving line of credit with MedBridge
Development Company, LLC with a maturity date of April 15, 2018, which, when funded, shall accrue interest at a rate of 5%
per annum, and which permits all or any portion of the then outstanding principal to be exchanged for shares of the

to the volume-weighted average closing price of the Company's common stock for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the date
of notice by MDC. Any unpaid principal due at the maturity date will automatically be exchanged for shares of the Company's common
stock using the maturity date as of the date of notice. For each share of stock issued for conversion of debt owed under the
line of credit, the Company shall issue MDC a warrant to purchase a share of common stock for 100% of the price at which the
debt under the revolving line of credit were converted. Upon default, MDC is entitled to receive interest on the outstanding principal balance and any other advances

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated, with the participation
of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”))
as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31,
2014 are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange
Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules
and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated
and communicated to our management. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management. Our disclosure controls and procedures include components of our
internal control over financial reporting. Management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting is expressed at the level of reasonable assurance that the control system, no matter how well designed and operated,
can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for
our Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2014 based on criteria established in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, our management concluded
that, as of December 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control
over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

as directors may submit such nominations, along with a nominee's qualifications, to our Board of Directors at 121 Gray Avenue,
Suite 200, Santa Barbara, California, 93101, and the Board of Directors will consider such nominee. The Board of Directors selects

Narrative to Director Compensation Table
We do not have a formal director compensation
plan. In 2013, we granted each of our employee and non-employee directors an option to purchase shares of our common stock. These
options vest immediately and the exercise price is $0.2249, the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2013. The expiration
date of the options is ten years from the date of grant and the options have a cashless exercise feature. We issued identical grants
to the directors on March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014, September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014.
We have not historically paid cash compensation
to our directors for services and we have no intention, at this time, to provide cash compensation to directors in the future.
ITEM 12. SECURITY
OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
The following tables set forth information
related to the beneficial ownership, as of the close of business on December 31, 2014 of our Series A Preferred Stock and common
stock by: (i) all persons we know who beneficially hold more than 5% of our securities, (ii) all of our directors, (iii) all of
our executive officers and (iv) our directors and executive officer as a group. The information on beneficial ownership in the
table and footnotes thereto is based upon data furnished to us by, or on behalf of, the persons listed in the table.
We have determined beneficial ownership in
accordance with the rules of the SEC. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished
to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power as indicated with respect to
all securities that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.
In computing the number of securities beneficially
owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed outstanding the shares underlying stock options, warrants
and convertible notes held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after December 31, 2014.
We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

On December 31, 2014, we had 9,715,443 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Series A stockholders have not changed since we completed a 1 for 600 reverse stock split on November 26, 2012. Prior to the Reverse Stock Split, one Series A share was convertible to 10 common shares. The Reverse Stock Split did not adjust the number of Series A preferred shares outstanding, however, the reverse did adjust the number of common shares that one share of Series A preferred stock is convertible into. Prior to the Reverse Stock Split, one share of Series A Preferred Stock could be converted into ten shares of common stock. The effect of the reverse split is that one share of Series A Preferred Stock may now be converted into 0.0167 shares of common stock, such that the 9,715,443 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding may be converted into 161,924 shares of common stock. |

Mr. Keledjian is Chairman of our Board of Directors and serves as our Vice President of Research and Development. He is also our former Chief Executive Officer.

In accordance with the agreement, the number of shares that MDC may acquire for services has been calculated based on the quarterly average share price less 10% which has ranged from $0.0756 to $0.2302 in the period through December 31, 2014. |
|
|
|
On August 27, 2014, MDC agreed to provide us $50,000. As of October 15, 2014, MDC has advanced $50,000 through this agreement. MDC may convert the cash advance to us into shares of common stock.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
MedBridge Development Company and MedBridge
Venture Fund, LLC
MedBridge Development Company, LLC
On March 18, 2013, we entered into a Memorandum
of Understanding with MedBridge Development Company, LLC, or MDC, for a two-year strategic collaboration. At the time of the transaction,
the Chief Executive Officer of MDC, David Odell, was a current stockholder of our Company but was not employed by us in a director
or officer capacity. John Tynan, the other managing member of MDC, had also purchased certain of our securities in the past, but
did not own 5% or more of the company’s stock at the time we entered into the MOU
Under this arrangement, MDC has agreed to provide
us with financial support up to $550,000 cash, administrative support valued at $20,000 per month and other services to enable
us to continue our research and development activities and provide for our operating expenses. Excluding the first $50,000 of cash,
all other payments and fees shall accrue under a convertible note we issued to MDC on March 18, 2013. In 2014 and 2013, MDC advanced
$235,000 and $175,000, respectively, and provided
$240,000 and $189,032 in services, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, we have accrued $60,000 in management fees related to
Q4 2014. In 2014, MDC converted an aggregate of $390,000 in debt and received 2,467,916 common shares. In 2013, MDC converted and
aggregate of $266,532 in and received 2,008,087 common shares. Further, in accordance with the terms of the arrangement, warrants
to acquire an equal number of shares as issued for the foregoing note conversions were issued to MDC, for an aggregate of 4,476,003
common shares at a weighted average exercise price per share of $0.1467.
The arrangement provides an option to convert
the amount owed under the convertible note into shares of our common stock. Any amounts advanced by MDC are convertible at the
20 day average of our stock price prior to the conversion date, and any costs thereafter shall be paid in shares of our common
stock valued at the average stock price per quarter, discounted by 10%. Such share payments will be made on a quarterly basis.
For each share issued, MDC shall also receive warrants to purchase one additional share exercisable at the undiscounted average
stock price for the corresponding quarter. Each warrant expires 18 months after the two-year lock up period. We also agreed to
a two-year lock-up provision from March 18, 2013, and MDC is unable to sell the shares it holds in our Company until that restriction
has lifted. Each warrant’s 18 month term starts from the date the restriction is lifted.
Under the terms of the arrangement, John Tynan
and David Odell were appointed to our Board of Directors, sharing one vote between the two directors, and also agreed to provide
certain services to us. Mr. Tynan was appointed our Chief Executive Officer in July 2013, and Mr. Odell was appointed our Chief
Financial Officer in December 2013. As of December 31, 2014, Messrs. Tynan and Odell collectively own 85.32% of MDC. Mr. Odell
continues to serve as Chief Executive Officer of MDC, in addition to his service as our Chief Financial Officer. In lieu of cash
compensation for the management services of Mr. Tynan or Mr. Odell, Messrs. Tynan and Odell have directed us to award the respective
value of their services in equity-based compensation to their designee, MedBridge Venture Fund.
On August 27, 2014, we entered into a convertible
promissory note and warrant purchase agreement with MDC, pursuant to which MDC provided us $50,000 in cash. In exchange, we issued
MDC a convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $50,000 and a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock.
The note has an annual interest rate of 8% and is convertible at the option of the holder in four equal tranches on November 27,
2015, February 27, 2016, May 27, 2016 and August 27, 2016. The conversion price is $0.113 per share. The warrant has an exercise
price of $0.85 per share and shall be exercisable from August 27, 2018 until August 27, 2019. The warrant has a cashless exercise
feature.
On April 13, 2015, we entered into an unlimited,
unsecured revolving line of credit with MedBridge Development Company, LLC with a maturity date of April 15, 2018, which, when
funded, shall accrue interest at a rate of 5%t per annum, and which permits all or any portion of the then outstanding principal
to be exchanged for shares of our common stock at the election of MDC. For each exchange of $1, MDC will receive the number of
shares divided by the exchange price which is equal to the volume-weighted average closing price of our common stock for the 20
trading days immediately prior to the date of notice by MDC. Any unpaid principal due at the maturity date will automatically be
exchanged for shares of our common stock using the maturity date as of the date of notice. For each share of stock issued for conversion of debt owed
under the line of credit, we shall issue MDC a warrant to purchase a share of common stock for 100% of the price at which the debt
under the revolving line of credit were converted. Upon default, MDC is entitled to receive interest on the outstanding principal
balance and any other advances and charges advanced by MDC at a per annum rate of the lesser of 12% per annum or the maximum interest
rate allowed by law.
MDC is owned 42.66% by the Tynan Family Trust,
of which our Chief Executive Officer and director, John Tynan is the trustee; 42.66% by our Chief Financial Officer and director,
David Odell; 7.5% by EDK, LLC, which is managed by Edward Koke; 7.31% by West Beach Investments, LLC, which is managed by Steven
Schott; and 2.5% by Ruth Loomer, an individual. Mr. Tynan and Mr. Odell have voting and dispositive control over the shares held
by MDC.
MedBridge Venture Fund, LLC

in cash of $1,765,000 and services valued at $735,000 in the form of a convertible note. The amount accrued under the note is
convertible at an exercise price equal to 10% lower than the lowest three-day average closing price starting on July 16, 2013
and ending on September 15, 2013 of $0.0588. As of December 31, 2014, we have received $1,500,000 in cash proceeds and received
$723,750 in services in exchange for which we issued convertible notes and warrants to MVF to purchase 8,895,000 common shares.
We have accrued approximately $177,000 in interest related to this aggregate obligation. The services to be provided by MVF include
a management team with a President and CEO, Chief Operating Officer, Controller, grant application coordinator, finance administrative
assistant and public relations resources. Through December 31, 2014, MVF converted $648,750 in principal at a defined conversion
price of $0.0588 per share and received 11,033,163 shares of our common stock. The parties also agreed to a staggered lock up
provision, with free-trading shares available in four equal parts, 25% each, on the following dates: December 15, 2014, March
15, 2015, June 15, 2015, and September 15, 2015. At December 31, 2014, $276,250 in cash proceeds are available to be funded under
this arrangement. On March 16, 2015, we issued 6,377,551 shares valued at $0.0588 for $375,000 worth of cash advances received,
2,614,796 shares valued at $0.0588 for $153,750 worth of administrative services rendered, and 3,011,525 shares valued at $0.0588

Haig Keledjian
Best Investments, Inc. and Best Investment
Trust
On March 5, 2008, we entered into a debt restructuring
agreement with Best Investments, Inc. Best Investments is a corporation controlled and owned by Haig Keledjian. Mr. Keledjian is
our founder and has served in various roles since 2001. Mr. Keledjian is our Chairman, Vice President of Research and Development
and Secretary. He served as our Chief Executive Officer from 2001 until July 2013 and was our Chief Executive Officer at the time
of the transaction.
As of the date of the agreement, we owed certain
debts to entities controlled by Mr. Keledjian for cash and services provided by Mr. Keledjian since our inception in 1995. The
nature of Mr. Keledjian’s services include strategic planning, research and development management, legal management, fundraising,
regulatory management, and day-to-day operational oversight. Best Investments was created by Mr. Keledjian to restructure and consolidate
those debts owed by us. The amount Best Investments agreed to lend us under the revolving line of credit was not limited and was
secured by substantially all of our assets. Further, the obligations owed by us under the revolving line of credit were guaranteed
by our subsidiary, VG Energy, Inc.
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the
parties agreed to restructure the indebtedness owed by us to Best Investments in addition to accrued interest and for us to issue
Best Investments a convertible note. The original indebtedness matured on March 29, 2008 and the revolving line of credit matured
on June 30, 2013 with an interest rate of 5% per annum, payable at the maturity date.
Under the terms of the debt restructuring agreement,
Best Investments agreed to allow us to prepay our obligations due under the line of credit at any time and that portions of the
debt may be exchanged for shares of our common stock and warrants. The conversion price is equal to the volume-weighted closing
price of our common stock for the 20 trading days preceding the notice of conversion by Best Investments. For each share of stock
issued for conversion of our debt owed under the line of credit, we agreed to issue Best Investments a warrant to purchase a share
of common stock for 150% of the price at which the debt under the revolving line of credit were converted. Such warrants will expire
five years from the date of issuance.
On October 1, 2013, we entered into an unsecured
note with Best Investment Trust, in the amount of $993,023 ($577,328 at December 31, 2013) with interest at 5% per annum, due December
31, 2018. This note was issued as a replacement and amendment of the secured revolving line of credit dated March 5, 2008 and subsequently
assigned to Best Investment Trust. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no interest payments, all interest
was accrued. The principal balance and accrued interest were exchanged for units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock
and one warrant to purchase one share of voting common stock. In the year ended December 31, 2014, an aggregate of $577,328 in
principal and $21,258 in accrued interest was converted into 3,447,261 common shares and warrants to purchase an equal number of
shares at a weighted average of $0.25 per share. Best Investment Trust is controlled by Haig Keledjian, our Chairman of the Board,
Vice President of Research and Development and Secretary. Mr. Keledjian can be deemed to have full economic interest in the revolving
line of credit. All transactions by Best Investments relating to our line of credit and the convertible note are reflected in our
accompanying financial statements.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK
Company: VG Life Sciences Inc.
Number of Shares: 200,000
Class of Stock: Common
Initial Exercise Price Per Share: $0.49
Issue Date: November 14, 2014
THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES
THAT, for good and valuable consideration, Wild Harp Holdings, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Holder”)
is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the class of securities (the “Shares”)
of VG Life Sciences Inc. (the “Company” or “VGLS”) at the initial exercise price per Share (the “Warrant
Price”) all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon
the terms and conditions set forth of this Warrant.
ARTICLE 1. EXERCISE
1.1 Method of Exercise.
Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix
1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.2, Holders shall
also deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.2 Conversion Right.
In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or
in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share.
The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant Section 1.4.
1.3 No Rights Shareholder.
This Warrant does not entitle Holder to any voting rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof.
1.4 Fair Market Value.
For purposes of Section 1.2, if the Shares are traded in a public market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing
price of the Shares (or the closing price of the Company’s stock into which the Shares are convertible) reported for the
business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not traded in a public
market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment. The foregoing
notwithstanding, if Holder advises the Board of Directors in writing that Holder disagrees with such determination, then the Company
and Holder shall promptly agree upon a reputable investment banking or public accounting firm to undertake such valuation. If the
valuation of such investment banking firm is greater than that determined by the Board of Directors, then all fees and expenses
of such investment banking firm shall be paid by the Company. In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be paid
by Holder.
1.5 Delivery of Certificate
and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or converts this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates
for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not been fully exercised or converted
and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the Shares not so acquired.
1.6 Replacement
of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in
form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, or surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its
expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.
1.7 Repurchase
on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Company
1.7.1 “Acquisit on” For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means (a) the closing of the sale, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the VGLS’s assets, (b) the consummation of the merger or consolidation of VGLS
with or into another entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of VGLS immediately prior to
such merger or consolidation continue to hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of VGLS or
the surviving or acquiring entity), or any transaction or series of transactions to which VGLS is a party in which in excess of

1.7.3 Purchase Right.
At the election of Holder, the Company shall purchase the unexercised portion of this Warrant for cash upon the closing of any
Acquisition for an amount equal to (a) the fair market value of any consideration that would have been received by Holder in consideration

in carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect
Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment. If the Company takes any action affecting the Shares or its common

No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall

Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment,
and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such
adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant price in effect

thousand dollars ($50,000.00), on or before July 9, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”) and to pay simple interest to the Holder
on the principal sum, at the rate per annum of eight percent (8%). Interest shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue

to the person in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company (the “Note Register”). The principal

Register as provided herein.
This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:
Section 1. Convertible
Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement. This Note is one of the Notes issued pursuant to that certain Convertible Note and Warrant
Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Company and Holder dated as of July 9, 2014. This Note is subject

Section 2. Events of Default.
Section 2.1 Events
of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreement) has occurred then upon the
occurrence of any such Event of Default, the Holder may, by notice to the Company, declare the unpaid principal amount of the Notes
to be, and the same shall forthwith become, due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby waived by the Company, together with the interest accrued thereon and all other amounts payable by the
Company hereunder and pursue all of Holder’s rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and all other
remedies available to Holder under applicable law.
Section 3. Optional Conversion.
(a) The outstanding principal
and all accrued and unpaid interest of this Note shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder, into shares of common stock
of the Company (“Common Stock”) at the Conversion Ratio, at the option of the Holder, in four equal tranches (25% each)
on the following dates: October 9, 2015, January 9, 2016, April 9, 2016, and July 9, 2016. Any conversion under this Section
3(a) shall be of a minimum amount of U.S. $5,000 of Notes. The Holder shall effect conversions by surrendering the Notes (or
such portions thereof) to be converted to the Company, together with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit
A (the “Conversion Notice”) in the manner set forth in Section 3(h). Each Conversion Notice shall specify
the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (the “Conversion Date”).
Subject to Section 3(b), each Conversion Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable. If the Holder is converting less than
all of the principal amount represented by the Note(s) tendered by the Holder with the Conversion Notice, the Company shall promptly
deliver to the Holder a new Note for such principal amount as has not been converted.
(b) Not later than fifteen
(15) Business Days after the Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates containing
the restrictive legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being
acquired upon the conversion of Notes and (ii) Notes in principal amount equal to the principal amount of Notes not converted;
provided, however that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of any Notes, until Notes are either delivered for conversion to the Company or any transfer Holder for the Notes
or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the Company that such Notes have been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides a lost instrument
indemnity to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. If such certificate or
certificates are not delivered by the date required under this Section 3(b), the Holder shall be entitled by written notice
to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion,
in which event the Company shall immediately return the Notes tendered for conversion.
(c) (i) The conversion price
(“Conversion Price”) for the Note in effect on any Conversion Date shall be $0.065, which is equal to 10% less than
the lowest consecutive 3 day average closing price during the period beginning September 14, 2014 and ending November 13, 2014,
subject to adjustment as otherwise contemplated by this Section 3(c).
(ii) In case of any Acquisition
(as defined below) of the Company, then Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert any principal and interest remaining
owing under this Note prior to the closing of any such Acquisition. At the election of Holder, Holder may convert this Note into
the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following
such Acquisition, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or property as the shares
of the Common Stock, into which the Note could have been converted immediately prior to such Acquisition, would have been entitled.
The terms of any such Acquisition shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive the securities
or property set forth in this Section 3(c) upon any conversion following such Acquisition. This provision shall similarly
apply to successive Acquisitions. “Acquisition” means (a) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the VGLS’s assets, (b) the consummation of the merger or consolidation of VGLS with or into another
entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of VGLS immediately prior to such merger or consolidation
continue to hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of VGLS or the surviving or acquiring entity),
or any transaction or series of transactions to which VGLS is a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of VGLS’s
voting power is transferred, or (c) the exclusive license of all or substantially all of the intellectual property of VGLS to a
third party
(iii) The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as
follows:
(A) In case the Company
shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock
any shares of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this
Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to received the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have
owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had this Note been converted immediately
prior to the happening of such event. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any of the events listed above shall occur. An adjustment
made pursuant to this subdivision (A) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(B) If, at any time
while this Note is outstanding, the Company takes any voluntary action or any event occurs as to which the foregoing subdivisions
are not strictly applicable, but the failure to make an adjustment in the Conversion Price hereunder would not fairly protect the
rights, without dilution, represented by this Note, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted
so that the Holder of this Note shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have owned or
been entitled to receive after the happening of any such action or event, had this Note been converted immediately prior to the
happening of any such action or event.
(d) The Company covenants
that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of
issuance upon conversion of Notes as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights
of persons other than the holders of Notes, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of the
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Notes. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable
shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
(e) Upon a conversion hereunder
the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may, if otherwise
permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the Conversion Price at such time.
(f) The issuance of certificates
for shares of Common Stock on conversion of Notes shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar
taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required
to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon
conversion in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates
unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or
shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
(g) Notes converted into Common Stock shall be canceled.
(h) Each Conversion Notice
shall be given by email or mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Controller of the Company of VG Life Sciences Inc. located 121
Gray Avenue, Suite 200, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Any such notice shall be deemed given and effective upon the earliest to occur
of (i) receipt of such email at the email address specified in this Section 3(h), (ii) five days after deposit in the United
States mails or (iii) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
Section 4. Mandatory Conversion.
(a) In the event Holder has
not elected to convert all of the principal and interest remaining owing under this Note on or prior to two years after the date
of this note, the then outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest amount of this Note shall, without further action
by the Holder or the Company, be automatically converted in whole into that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company at
the Conversion Ratio on the Maturity Date (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”).
(b) Not later than ten (10)
Business Days after the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates containing
the restrictive legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being
acquired upon the mandatory conversion of this Note; provided, however that the Company shall not be obligated to issue
certificates evidencing the equity securities issuable upon conversion of this Note, until the Note is either delivered for conversion
to the Company or any transfer Holder of the Note or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the Company that the Note have been lost,
stolen or destroyed and provides a lost instrument indemnity or bond to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred
by it in connection therewith. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall comply with Sections 3(d) through (g)
with respect to any mandatory conversion and such sections are incorporated by reference herein.
Section 5. Payment of Principal and Redemption.
(a) In the event of an occurrence
of an Event of Default, then the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
Prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date this Note may not be prepaid.
(b) Nothing in this Section
5 shall impair the Holder’s right to convert this Note pursuant to Section 3 prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date.
Section 6. Definitions.
For the purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Business Day”
shall mean any day, except a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the State of California are authorized
or required by law to close.

but unpaid interest, and of which the denominator is the Conversion Price at such time.

Section 7. Stockholder
Rights. This Note shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including without limitation,
the right to vote, to receive dividends and other distributions, or to receive any notice of, or to attend, meetings of stockholders
or any other proceedings of the Company, unless and to the extent converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the
terms hereof.
Section 8. Lost
Note. If this Note shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution
for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Note, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed debenture, a new
Note for the principal amount of this Note so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss,
theft or destruction of such Note, and of the ownership hereof, and indemnity or bond, if requested, all reasonably satisfactory
to the Company.
Section 9. Governing
Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect
to conflicts of laws thereof.

of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Company or the Holder
to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that
party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note. Any waiver must be in

and the Company agrees to sell and issue to the Investor at the Closing and thereafter Notes in the principal amount of Six Hundred

The Investor will make twelve (12) monthly installment payments of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) on the fifteenth day of each
month for one year, beginning with the initial installment on March 15, 2015, and the remaining eleven (11) payments thereafter.
The Warrant (as defined in Section 1.2 below) includes a cashless exercise feature enabling conversion into unregistered shares
(“Shares”) of common stock of VGLS based on the spread between the warrant exercise price and the then- trading value
of the underlying VGLS Shares. The Note is convertible into Shares at a conversion rate equal to the lowest consecutive three-day
average closing price of the Shares starting on January 12, 2015 and ending on February 11, 2015 (the “Period”), minus
a ten percent (10%) discount (the “Price”). The Note will be convertible into Shares in four equal tranches (25% each)
on the following dates: June 15, 2015, September 15, 2015, December 15, 2015, and March 15, 2016. With respect to the Note: (a)
it carries an eight percent (8%) per annum interest date, (b) any unconverted principal and interest remaining on the Note on

agrees to sell and issue to the Investor at the Closing, a warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Warrant")
to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock. In addition to the Notes, the Investor will receive warrant coverage (“Warrants”)
for four Shares for every one dollar ($1.00) of cash provided to the Company under Section 1.1 above, with each Warrant to be
exercisable by the Investor at $0.45 per Share, which includes a cashless exercise feature. The Warrants will be exercisable on
any date from the four-year anniversary of the date of this Agreement and expire on the five-year anniversary thereof.
1.3 Closing.
(a) The purchase
and sale of the initial Note and Warrants shall take place upon execution of this Agreement, or at such other time and place as
the Company and the Investor may determine (the "Closing").
(b) At the Closing,

(c) Following the
Closing the Company shall deliver additional Notes and Warrants if provided for in this Agreement.

or other disposition of all or substantially all of the VGLS’s assets, (b) the consummation of the merger or consolidation
of VGLS with or into another entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of VGLS immediately
prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of
VGLS or the surviving or acquiring entity), or any transaction or series of transactions to which VGLS is a party in which in
excess of fifty percent (50%) of VGLS’s voting power is transferred, or (c) the exclusive license of all or substantially
all of the intellectual property of VGLS to a third party.

or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations, or any of its assets or properties.

to it under applicable law. In the event of termination under this section 2.2 only, Company shall issue a new note and warrant
to accurately reflect the amounts received from Holder prior to termination under this section.
Section
3. Optional Conversion.
(a)
The outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest of this Note shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder,
into shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) at the Conversion Ratio, at the option of the Holder,
in four equal tranches (25% each) on the following dates: June 15, 2015, September 15, 2015, December 15, 2015, and March 15,
2016. Any conversion under this Section 3(a) shall be of a minimum amount of US $5,000 of Notes. The Holder shall effect
conversions by surrendering the Notes (or such portions thereof) to be converted to the Company, together with the form of conversion
notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) in the manner set forth in Section 3(h).
Each Conversion Notice shall specify the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to
be effected (the “Conversion Date”). Subject to Section 3(b), each Conversion Notice, once given, shall be
irrevocable. If the Holder is converting less than all of the principal amount represented by the Note(s) tendered by the Holder
with the Conversion Notice, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a new Note for such principal amount as has not been
converted.
(b)
Not later than fifteen (10) Business Days after the Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate
or certificates containing the restrictive legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of
shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of Notes and (ii) Notes in principal amount equal to the principal amount
of Notes not converted; provided, however that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Notes, until Notes are either delivered for conversion to the Company or
any transfer Holder for the Notes or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the Company that such Notes have been lost, stolen or
destroyed and provides a lost instrument indemnity to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection
therewith. If such certificate or certificates are not delivered by the date required under this Section 3(b), the Holder
shall be entitled by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter,
to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall immediately return the Notes tendered for conversion.
(c)
(i) The conversion price (“Conversion Price”) for each Note in effect on any Conversion Date shall be 10% less than
the lowest 3 day average during the period beginning January 12, 2015 and ending February 11, 2015, subject to adjustment
as otherwise contemplated by this Section 3(c).
(ii)
In case of any Acquisition (as defined below) of the Company, then Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert any principal
and interest remaining owing under this Note prior to the closing of any such Acquisition. At the election of Holder, Holder may
convert this Note into the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of
Common Stock following such Acquisition, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities
or property as the shares of the Common Stock, into which the Note could have been converted immediately prior to such Acquisition,
would have been entitled. The terms of any such Acquisition shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the
right to receive the securities or property set forth in this Section 3(c) upon any conversion following such Acquisition.
This provision shall similarly apply to successive Acquisitions. “Acquisition” means (a) the closing of the sale,
transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the VGLS’s assets, (b) the consummation of the merger or consolidation
of VGLS with or into another entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of VGLS immediately
prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of
VGLS or the surviving or acquiring entity), or any transaction or series of transactions to which VGLS is a party in which in
excess of fifty percent (50%) of VGLS’s voting power is transferred, or (c) the exclusive license of all or substantially
all of the intellectual property of VGLS to a third party
(iii) The
Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(A)
In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock,
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its
shares of Common Stock any shares of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so
that the Holder of this Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common
Stock which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had
this Note been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any of the events
listed above shall occur. An adjustment made pursuant to this subdivision (A) shall become effective retroactively immediately
after the record date in the case of a dividend and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of
a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(B)
If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Company issues Common Stock or other securities convertible into, or exercisable
for, Common Stock, at a price per share of Common Stock equivalent that is less than the Conversion Price (or adjusted Conversion
Price if the Conversion Price has been adjusted previously), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to an amount equal to
the price per share of Common Stock equivalent in such issuance; provided, however, that any of the following issuances
shall not be subject to the provisions of this subparagraph (B): (i) any borrowings, direct or indirect, from banks or similar
financial institutions by the Company, whether or not presently authorized, including any type of loan or payment evidenced by
any type of debt instrument, provided such borrowings do not have any equity features including warrants, options or other rights
to purchase capital stock and are not convertible into capital stock of the Company; (ii) securities issued to employees, consultants,
officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or stock bonus plan, agreement or arrangement
approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, provided that the aggregate number of such securities shall not exceed at
any time fifteen percent of the then- outstanding Common Stock of the Company; or (iii) securities issued in a public offering
pursuant to a registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) with
an aggregate offering price to the public of at least $50,000,000.
(C)
If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Company takes any voluntary action or any event occurs as to which the foregoing
subdivisions are not strictly applicable, but the failure to make an adjustment in the Conversion Price hereunder would not fairly
protect the rights, without dilution, represented by this Note, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto
shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Note shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he would
have owned or been entitled to receive after the happening of any such action or event, had this Note been converted immediately
prior to the happening of any such action or event.
(d)
The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely
for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of Notes as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent
purchase rights of persons other than the holders of Notes, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the
conversion of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Notes. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that
shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
(e)
Upon a conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of
Common Stock, but may, if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the Conversion
Price at such time.
(f)
The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock on conversion of Notes shall be made without charge to the Holder for
any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that
the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery
of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue
or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company
the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
(g)
Notes converted into Common Stock shall be canceled.
(h)
Each Conversion Notice shall be given by email or mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Controller of the Company of VG Life
Sciences, Inc. located 121 Gray Avenue, Suite 200, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Any such notice shall be deemed given and effective
upon the earliest to occur of (i) receipt of such email at the email address specified in this Section 3(h), (ii) five
days after deposit in the United States mails or (iii) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be
given.
Section
4. Mandatory Conversion.
(a)
In the event Holder has not elected to convert all of the principal and interest remaining owing under this Note on or prior to
one year after the date of this note, the then outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest amount of this Note shall,
without further action by the Holder or the Company, be automatically converted in whole into that number of shares of Common
Stock of the Company at the Conversion Ratio on the Maturity Date (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”).
(b)
Not later than ten (10) Business Days after the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate
or certificates containing the restrictive legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of
shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the mandatory conversion of this Note; provided, however that the Company shall
not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the equity securities issuable upon conversion of this Note, until the Note
is either delivered for conversion to the Company or any transfer Holder of the Note or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the
Company that the Note have been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides a lost instrument indemnity or bond to the Company to indemnify
the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall comply with Sections
3(d) through (g) with respect to any mandatory conversion and such sections are incorporated by reference herein.
Section
5. Payment of Principal and Redemption.
(a)
In the event of an occurrence of an Event of Default, then the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable
in full on the Maturity Date. Prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date this Note may not be prepaid.
(b)
Nothing in this Section 5 shall impair the Holder’s right to convert this Note pursuant to Section 3 prior to the Mandatory
Conversion Date.
Section
6. Definitions. For the purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:
“Business
Day” shall mean any day, except a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the State of California are
authorized or required by law to close.
“Conversion
Ratio” means, at any time, a fraction, of which the numerator is the outstanding principal amount represented by any Note
plus accrued but unpaid interest, and of which the denominator is the Conversion Price at such time.
“Original
Issue Date” means the date of the first issuance of this Note regardless of the number transfers hereof.
Section
7. Stockholder Rights. This Note shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of
a stockholder of the Company, including without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends and other distributions, or
to receive any notice of, or to attend, meetings of stockholders or any other proceedings of the Company, unless and to the extent
converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof.
Section
8. Lost Note. If this Note shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company
shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Note, or in lieu of or in substitution
for a lost, stolen or destroyed debenture, a new Note for the principal amount of this Note so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed
but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Note, and of the ownership hereof, and indemnity
or bond, if requested, all reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
Section
9. Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the

occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that
term or any other term of this Note. Any waiver must be in writing.
Section
12. Severability. If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall

EXHIBIT B
WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK
Company: VG Life Sciences,
Inc.
Number of Shares: 2,400,000
Class of Stock: Common
Initial Exercise Price
Per Share: $0.45
Issue Date: March 15,
2015
THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for the agreed upon value of $1.00 and for other good and valuable consideration, KED Consulting
Group LLC (“Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the class of securities
(the “Shares”) of VG Life Sciences, Inc. (the “Company” or “VGLS”) at the initial exercise
price per Share (the “Warrant Price”) all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this Warrant,
subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth of this Warrant.
ARTICLE
1. EXERCISE
1.1
Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially
the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth
in Section 1.2, Holders shall also deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.2
Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert
this Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares
or other securities otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the
fair market value of one Share. The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant Section 1.4.
1.3
No Rights Shareholder. This Warrant does not entitle Holder to any voting rights as a shareholder of the company prior
to the exercise hereof.
1.4
Fair Market Value. For purposes of Section 1.2, if the Shares are traded in a public market, the fair market value of the
Shares shall be the closing price of the Shares (or the closing price of the Company’s stock into which the Shares are convertible)
reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not
traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith
judgment. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Holder advises the Board of Directors in writing that Holder disagrees with such determination,
then the Company and Holder shall promptly agree upon a reputable investment banking or public accounting firm to undertake such
valuation. If the valuation of such investment banking firm is greater than that determined by the Board of Directors, then all
fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be paid by the company. In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses
shall be paid by Holder.
1.5
Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or converts this Warrant, the Company shall deliver
to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not been
fully exercised or converted and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the Shares not so acquired.
1.6
Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably
satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, or surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the
Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.
1.7
Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Company
1.7.1
“Acquisi tion” For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means (a) the closing of the sale,
transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the VGLS’s assets, (b) the consummation of the merger or consolidation
of VGLS with or into another entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of VGLS immediately
prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of
VGLS or the surviving or acquiring entity), or any transaction or series of transactions to which VGLS is a party in which in
excess of fifty percent (50%) of VGLS’s voting power is transferred, or (c) the exclusive license of all or substantially
all of the intellectual property of VGLS to a third party.
1.7.2
Assumption of Warrant. Upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant,
and this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable
upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition
and subsequent closing. The Warrant Price shall be adjusted accordingly.
1.7.3
Purchase Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of Holder, the Company shall purchase the unexercised portion
of this Warrant for cash upon the closing of any Acquisition for an amount equal to (a) the fair market value of any consideration
that would have been received by Holder in consideration of the Shares had Holder exercised the unexercised portion of this Warrant
immediately before the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to participate in the proceeds of the Acquisition,
less (b) the aggregate Warrant Price of the Shares, but in no event less than zero.
ARTICLE
2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.
2.1 Stock
Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its common stock (or the Shares if the Shares are
securities other than common stock) payable in common stock, or other securities, subdivides the outstanding common stock
into a greater amount of common stock, or, if the Shares are securities other than common stock, subdivides the Shares in a
transaction that increases the amount of common stock into which the Shares are convertible, then upon exercise of this
Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to
which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision
occurred.
2.2
Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results
in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be
entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would
have received for the shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution,
or other event. Such an event shall include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company
of the same class or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation
upon the closing of a registered public offering of the Company’s common stock. The Company or its successor shall promptly
issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including,
without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the
new Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions,
or other events.
2.3
Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise,
into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant price shall be proportionately increased.
2.4
Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall
be subject to adjustment, from time to time in the manner set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect
to issuance of securities for a price lower than certain prices specified in the Certificate of Incorporation.
2.5 No Impairment.
The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist
in carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect
Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment. If the Company takes any action affecting the Shares or its common
stock other than as described above that adversely affects Holder’s rights under this Warrant, the Warrant Price shall be
adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that
the aggregate Warrant price of this Warrant is unchanged.
2.6
Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of
Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise
or conversion of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder amount computed by multiplying
the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.
2.7
Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute
such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts
upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant
price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.
ARTICLE
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
3.1
Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder that all Shares which may be issued
upon the exercise of the purchase right represented by this Warrant and all securities, if any, issuable upon conversion of the

to accurately reflect the amounts received from Holder prior to termination under this section.
Section
3. Optional Conversion.
(a)
The outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest of this Note shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder,
into shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) at the Conversion Ratio, at the option of the Holder,
in four equal tranches (25% each) on the following dates: June 15, 2015, September 15, 2015, December 15, 2015, and March 15,
2016. Any conversion under this Section 3(a) shall be of a minimum amount of US $5,000 of Notes. The Holder shall effect
conversions by surrendering the Notes (or such portions thereof) to be converted to the Company, together with the form of conversion
notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) in the manner set forth in Section 3(h).
Each Conversion Notice shall specify the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to
be effected (the “Conversion Date”). Subject to Section 3(b), each Conversion Notice, once given, shall be
irrevocable. If the Holder is converting less than all of the principal amount represented by the Note(s) tendered by the Holder
with the Conversion Notice, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a new Note for such principal amount as has not been
converted.
(b)
Not later than fifteen (10) Business Days after the Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate
or certificates containing the restrictive legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of
shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of Notes and (ii) Notes in principal amount equal to the principal amount
of Notes not converted; provided, however that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Notes, until Notes are either delivered for conversion to the Company or
any transfer Holder for the Notes or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the Company that such Notes have been lost, stolen or
destroyed and provides a lost instrument indemnity to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection
therewith. If such certificate or certificates are not delivered by the date required under this Section 3(b), the Holder
shall be entitled by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter,
to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall immediately return the Notes tendered for conversion.
(c)
(i) The conversion price (“Conversion Price”) for each Note in effect on any Conversion Date shall be 10% less than
the lowest 3 day average during the period beginning January 12, 2015 and ending February 11, 2015, subject to adjustment
as otherwise contemplated by this Section 3(c).
(ii)
In case of any Acquisition (as defined below) of the Company, then Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert any principal
and interest remaining owing under this Note prior to the closing of any such Acquisition. At the election of Holder, Holder may
convert this Note into the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of
Common Stock following such Acquisition, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities
or property as the shares of the Common Stock, into which the Note could have been converted immediately prior to such Acquisition,
would have been entitled. The terms of any such Acquisition shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the
right to receive the securities or property set forth in this Section 3(c) upon any conversion following such Acquisition.
This provision shall similarly apply to successive Acquisitions. “Acquisition” means (a) the closing of the sale,
transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the VGLS’s assets, (b) the consummation of the merger or consolidation
of VGLS with or into another entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of VGLS immediately
prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of
VGLS or the surviving or acquiring entity), or any transaction or series of transactions to which VGLS is a party in which in
excess of fifty percent (50%) of VGLS’s voting power is transferred, or (c) the exclusive license of all or substantially
all of the intellectual property of VGLS to a third party
(iii) The
Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(A)
In case the Company shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock,
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its
shares of Common Stock any shares of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so
that the Holder of this Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common
Stock which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had
this Note been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any of the events
listed above shall occur. An adjustment made pursuant to this subdivision (A) shall become effective retroactively immediately
after the record date in the case of a dividend and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of
a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(B)
If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Company issues Common Stock or other securities convertible into, or exercisable
for, Common Stock, at a price per share of Common Stock equivalent that is less than the Conversion Price (or adjusted Conversion
Price if the Conversion Price has been adjusted previously), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to an amount equal to
the price per share of Common Stock equivalent in such issuance; provided, however, that any of the following issuances
shall not be subject to the provisions of this subparagraph (B): (i) any borrowings, direct or indirect, from banks or similar
financial institutions by the Company, whether or not presently authorized, including any type of loan or payment evidenced by
any type of debt instrument, provided such borrowings do not have any equity features including warrants, options or other rights
to purchase capital stock and are not convertible into capital stock of the Company; (ii) securities issued to employees, consultants,
officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase or stock bonus plan, agreement or arrangement
approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, provided that the aggregate number of such securities shall not exceed at
any time fifteen percent of the then- outstanding Common Stock of the Company; or (iii) securities issued in a public offering
pursuant to a registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) with
an aggregate offering price to the public of at least $50,000,000.
(C)
If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Company takes any voluntary action or any event occurs as to which the foregoing
subdivisions are not strictly applicable, but the failure to make an adjustment in the Conversion Price hereunder would not fairly
protect the rights, without dilution, represented by this Note, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto
shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Note shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he would
have owned or been entitled to receive after the happening of any such action or event, had this Note been converted immediately
prior to the happening of any such action or event.
(d)
The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely
for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of Notes as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent
purchase rights of persons other than the holders of Notes, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the
conversion of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Notes. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that
shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
(e)
Upon a conversion hereunder the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of
Common Stock, but may, if otherwise permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the Conversion
Price at such time.
(f)
The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock on conversion of Notes shall be made without charge to the Holder for
any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that
the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery
of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue
or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company
the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
(g)
Notes converted into Common Stock shall be canceled.
(h)
Each Conversion Notice shall be given by email or mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Controller of the Company of VG Life
Sciences, Inc. located 121 Gray Avenue, Suite 200, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Any such notice shall be deemed given and effective
upon the earliest to occur of (i) receipt of such email at the email address specified in this Section 3(h), (ii) five
days after deposit in the United States mails or (iii) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be
given.
Section
4. Mandatory Conversion.
(a)
In the event Holder has not elected to convert all of the principal and interest remaining owing under this Note on or prior to
one year after the date of this note, the then outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest amount of this Note shall,
without further action by the Holder or the Company, be automatically converted in whole into that number of shares of Common
Stock of the Company at the Conversion Ratio on the Maturity Date (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”).
(b)
Not later than ten (10) Business Days after the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate
or certificates containing the restrictive legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of
shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the mandatory conversion of this Note; provided, however that the Company shall
not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the equity securities issuable upon conversion of this Note, until the Note
is either delivered for conversion to the Company or any transfer Holder of the Note or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the
Company that the Note have been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides a lost instrument indemnity or bond to the Company to indemnify
the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall comply with Sections
3(d) through (g) with respect to any mandatory conversion and such sections are incorporated by reference herein.
Section
5. Payment of Principal and Redemption.
(a)
In the event of an occurrence of an Event of Default, then the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable
in full on the Maturity Date. Prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date this Note may not be prepaid.
(b)
Nothing in this Section 5 shall impair the Holder’s right to convert this Note pursuant to Section 3 prior to the Mandatory
Conversion Date.
Section
6. Definitions. For the purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following
meanings:
“Business
Day” shall mean any day, except a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the State of California are
authorized or required by law to close.

Section
7. Stockholder Rights. This Note shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of
a stockholder of the Company, including without limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends and other distributions, or
to receive any notice of, or to attend, meetings of stockholders or any other proceedings of the Company, unless and to the extent
converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof.
Section
8. Lost Note. If this Note shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company
shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Note, or in lieu of or in substitution
for a lost, stolen or destroyed debenture, a new Note for the principal amount of this Note so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed
but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Note, and of the ownership hereof, and indemnity

Design and build a custom e-commerce site to look like it is part
of the existing vgenergy.net website. The purpose of the site will be to provide a secure platform for customers and potential
customers to log in and request access to purchase LipidMax and also purchase the products once approved by VG ENERGY.
The system will consist of 2 separate web sites. The first being
the public website that will allow people to log in and fill out a request to purchase. They will need to provide the information
specified by VG ENERGY and read and accept 2 contracts.
The application will capture this information and store it to a
database, it will also email the information to an email address specified by VG ENERGY.
Once approved to purchase the customer will be able to purchase
products put up for sale by VGENERGY. The application will collect the items that the customer wants to purchase, calculates shipping
costs and sales tax if needed. It then securely processes the customers credit cart saving the resulting order to the database
and emailing it to VGENERGY. At no time is the customers credit card info saved to disk, it is only stored in RAM while processing
the transaction.
The second site is a private administrative site to be used by VGENERGY
to manage the customers and products on the public site. There are two main areas of this site the users area and the products
area.
The users area will allow VGENERGY to view the customer information
the customer had entered as a request to purchase LipidMax, they can approve customers to purchase or revoke the ability to purchase
from the public site.
The products area is where VGENERGY can add or remove the products
that will be for sale on the public site. They can add/edit/delete products, descriptions, price etc. and add or remove an image
that would represent the product for sale.
In addition to the design and programing of the websites, the web
server was setup and configured for this purpose and will be maintained for a period of one year. Which includes security updates
to the operating system and applications on the server, periodically checking the system logs for errors.

$52,800.00 |
|
As of February 28,
2013 |
For value received, VG LIFE
SCIENCES, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), promises to pay to the order of DMBM Inc. (the "Holder"),
the principal sum of FIFTY TWO THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS AND NO CENTS or the aggregate outstanding principal amount hereof,
whichever is less (the “Principal”), represents various loans (each a “Loan”) made by the Holder to the
Company between February 1, 2013 and February 28, 2013 on the dates and in the amounts specified on Schedule A attached hereto
and to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of this Convertible Debenture (this "Debenture") as provided
herein.
1. Definitions. The
following terms shall have the definitions set forth in this Section 1:
(a) "Business Day" means
any day on which banks are open for business in both the State of California and the State of New York.
(b) "Common Stock" means the Company's common
stock, par value $0.0001 per Share.
(c) "Conversion
Price" will be the lower of (a) $0.05 per share or (b) a discount of thirty percent (30%) from the average of the closing
price of the Company’s Common Stock (on the principal exchange or market in which the Company’s Common Stock trades)
for the fourteen (14) trading days prior to DMBM’s submission of a conversion notice to the Company.
(d) "Shares" means shares of Common Stock.
(e) "Trading Day" means
a calendar day on which the Shares are quoted for trading on the Trading Market.
(f) "Trading
Market" means the following markets or exchanges on which the Shares are listed or quoted for trading on the date in question:
The Over The Counter Bulletin Board, the PinkSheets, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the American Stock Exchange, the New York Stock
Exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Toronto Stock Exchange, the TSX Venture Exchange, or any other securities exchange registered
with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
2.
Loans. Each Loan made by the Holder to the Company evidenced
by this Debenture, shall be set forth on Schedule A attached hereto. The Holder is authorized by the Company to modify Schedule
A from time to time to reflect the amount of any partial conversion of this Debenture.
3. Interest.
Interest on the outstanding Principal amount of this Debenture will accrue at a rate equal to one percent (1%) per annum from the
date of the making of each Loan as set forth on Schedule A. Interest will be computed on the basis of a year of 12 months, each
having 30 days, and will be paid on the Maturity Date and upon any permitted prepayment of this Debenture.
4. Repayment.
The Company shall pay the Principal amount of this Debenture, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, to the Holder on December
31, 2013 (the "Maturity Date").
5. Payment.
All payments due under this Debenture shall be made in either the lawful money of the United States of America or in Shares of
the company’s common stock, as determined by the holder in its discretion.
(a) Form
of Payment. The holder, at its sole discretion, shall decide whether the payment due on the Maturity Date shall be made in
cash or in Shares.
(b) Payment
in Cash. All payments in cash shall be made to the Holder by check or by wire transfer to such bank as the Holder may advise
the Company in writing.
(c) Payment
in Shares. The number of Shares issuable upon a payment being made in Shares shall be calculated by dividing the aggregate
amount due on the Maturity Date by the Conversion Price. No fractional Shares will be issued upon conversion of this Debenture
or a payment by the Company in Shares. In lieu of any fractional Share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled upon a
payment in Shares, the Company will pay to the Holder in cash the amount of the unpaid or unconverted Principal and interest balance
of this Debenture that would otherwise be paid or converted into such fractional Share. Shares issued hereunder shall be transmitted
by the transfer agent of the Company to the Holder either by crediting the account of the Holder's designated broker with the
Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC"), or, if so elected by Holder, by physical
delivery of certificates to Holder's address within five (5) Trading Days from the Due Date. If the Company fails for any reason
to deliver to the Holder the Shares by the requisite delivery date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares not timely delivered, $5 per Trading Day (increasing to $10 per Trading
Day on the fifteenth (15) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such requisite
delivery date until such Shares are delivered. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to
cause its transfer agent to deliver to the Holder the Shares on or before the requisite delivery date, and if after such date
the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder's brokerage firm
otherwise purchases, Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving
pursuant to this Debenture (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which (x)
the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount
obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder multiplied by (B) the
price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) deliver to the Holder the number of
Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example,
if the Holder purchases Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with an aggregate sale price giving
rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required
to pay the Holder $ 1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in
respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, commercially reasonable evidence of the amount of such loss.
(d) Adjustments.
If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding subdivides outstanding Shares into a larger number of shares or
combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Shares into a smaller number of shares, then the Conversion Price
shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Shares outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of Shares outstanding immediately after such event.
6. Prepayment.
This Debenture may not be prepaid by the Company without the prior written consent of the Holder, except as provided in Section
7 of this Debenture.
7.
Conversion. At any time prior
to five (5) business days prior to the Maturity Date, all or any portion of the Principal amount of this Debenture, together will
accrued interest thereon, may be converted at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time, in the minimum principal
amount of $5,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereafter, upon not less than two (2) three (3) Business Days after the Company's
receipt of the Conversion Notice (as hereinafter defined) from the Holder and payment in full of the Conversion Price as then
in effect. Each "Conversion Notice" shall mean a written notice from the Holder informing the Company of the date of
the conversion, the principal amount of this Debenture being converted, the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon
conversion and confirming that the Conversion Price will be paid in cash. The Conversion Price shall be paid by certified check
or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Company in writing. Within three (3) Business
Days after payment of the Conversion Price, the Company will deliver a certificate for the shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion to the Holder, or at the Holder’s request, to a brokerage account for the benefit of Holder. The Company shall
at all times reserve for issuance a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to satisfy the conversion feature of this Debenture.
The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all or a portion of this Debenture shall be equal to the
Principal amount of this Debenture being converted divided by the Conversion Price. For purposes hereof, any partial conversion
of this Debenture, each Loan shall be considered separate and distinct indebtedness of the Company to the Holder
for purposes of determining the holding period of each item of indebtedness represented by the Loan. Notwithstanding anything
set forth herein, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert for a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of that
number of shares of Common Stock which, upon giving effect to such conversion, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates to exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following
such conversion. Notwithstanding receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall have the right to prepay this Debenture in
the amount being converted if the principal amount to be converted together with accrued interest thereon is paid in immediately
available funds within one (1) business day after the date of the
8. Seniority.
The indebtedness represented by this Debenture is and shall be an obligation of the Company ranking senior in right of payment,
liquidation and otherwise to any future indebtedness and other obligations of the Company. The Company will not create any indebtedness
that is senior in priority to the indebtedness represented by this Debenture.
9. Default. Any
one of the following occurrences shall constitute an "Event of Default" under this Debenture:
(a) failure
of Company to pay any amount that it payable under this Debenture on the Due Date, provided that such failure is not cured within
a grace period of ten (10) calendar days; or
(b) failure
to comply with or perform any other agreement or covenant of the Company contained herein, which failure does not otherwise constitute
an Event of Default, provided that such failure has not been cured within thirty (30) calendar days written notice by Holder to
the Company; or
(c) there
shall occur any default or event of default, any similar event, any event that requires the prepayment of borrowed money or permits
the acceleration of the maturity thereof, or any event or condition that might become any of the foregoing with notice or the passage

or under the terms of any document or instrument under which any such evidence of indebtedness or other agreement is issued, assumed,
secured, or guaranteed, and such event shall continue beyond any applicable notice, grace or cure period, provided that such condition
shall not have been cured within thirty (30) calendar days of notice by Holder; or
(d) the Company
shall fail to maintain its existence in good standing in its state of incorporation; provided that such condition shall
not have been cured within thirty (30) calendar days of notice by Holder; or
(e) a
judgment or settlement shall be entered or agreed to in any proceeding which would reasonably be expected to have a material and
adverse effect on the ability of the Company to repay this Debenture; or any garnishment, summons, writ of attachment, citation,
levy or the like is issued against or served upon Holder for the attachment of any property of the Company in Holder’s possession
or control, provided that such condition shall not have been cured within thirty (30) calendar days of notice by Holder of such
condition; or
(f) any Share
issued pursuant to this Debenture shall not be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid or nonassessable, provided that such
condition shall not have been cured within ninety (90) calendar days of notice by Holder of such condition; or

at the rate equal to the stated rate plus 5.00% per annum, and Holder may exercise any rights and remedies under this Debenture,

subject to acceleration if an Event of Default occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid Principal sum of this Debenture,
together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable upon any of the Events of Default set
forth in this Debenture.
11.

Company fails to cause its transfer agent to deliver to the Holder the Shares on or before the requisite delivery date, and if
after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder's
brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by
the Holder of the Shares which the Holder anticipated
receiving pursuant to this Debenture (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall (1) pay in cash to the Holder the amount by
which (x) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Shares so purchased exceeds (y)
the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder multiplied
by (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (2) deliver to the Holder the
number of Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.
For example, if the Holder purchases Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with an aggregate sale
price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall
be required to pay the Holder $ 1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the
Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, commercially reasonable evidence of the amount of such loss.
(d) Adjustments.
If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding subdivides outstanding Shares into a larger number of shares or
combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Shares into a smaller number of shares, then the Conversion Price
shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Shares outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of Shares outstanding immediately after such event.
6. Prepayment.
This Debenture may not be prepaid by the Company without the prior written consent of the Holder, except as provided in Section
7 of this Debenture.
7.
Conversion. At any time prior
to five (5) business days prior to the Maturity Date, all or any portion of the Principal amount of this Debenture, together will
accrued interest thereon, may be converted at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time, in the minimum principal
amount of $5,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereafter, upon not less than two (2) three (3) Business Days after the Company's
receipt of the Conversion Notice (as hereinafter defined) from the Holder and payment in full of the Conversion Price as then
in effect. Each "Conversion Notice" shall mean a written notice from the Holder informing the Company of the date of
the conversion, the principal amount of this Debenture being converted, the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon
conversion and confirming that the Conversion Price will be paid in cash. The Conversion Price shall be paid by certified check
or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Company in writing. Within three (3) Business
Days after payment of the Conversion Price, the Company will deliver a certificate for the shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion to the Holder, or at the Holder’s request, to a brokerage account for the benefit of Holder. The Company shall
at all times reserve for issuance a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to satisfy the conversion feature of this Debenture.
The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all or a portion of this Debenture shall be equal to the
Principal amount of this Debenture being converted divided by the Conversion Price. For purposes hereof, any partial conversion
of this Debenture, each Loan shall be considered separate and distinct indebtedness of the Company to the Holder for purposes
of determining the holding period of each item of indebtedness represented by the Loan. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein,
in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert for a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of that number of shares
of Common Stock which, upon giving effect to such conversion, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by the Holder and its affiliates to exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such conversion.
Notwithstanding receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall have the right to prepay this Debenture in the amount being
converted if the principal amount to be converted together with accrued interest thereon is paid in immediately available funds
within one (1) business day after the date of the
8. Seniority.
The indebtedness represented by this Debenture is and shall be an obligation of the Company ranking senior in right of payment,
liquidation and otherwise to any future indebtedness and other obligations of the Company. The Company will not create any indebtedness
that is senior in priority to the indebtedness represented by this Debenture.
9. Default. Any
one of the following occurrences shall constitute an "Event of Default" under this Debenture:
(a) failure
of Company to pay any amount that it payable under this Debenture on the Due Date, provided that such failure is not cured within
a grace period of ten (10) calendar days; or
(b) failure
to comply with or perform any other agreement or covenant of the Company contained herein, which failure does not otherwise constitute
an Event of Default, provided that such failure has not been cured within thirty (30) calendar days written notice by Holder to
the Company; or
(c) there
shall occur any default or event of default, any similar event, any event that requires the prepayment of borrowed money or permits
the acceleration of the maturity thereof, or any event or condition that might become any of the foregoing with notice or the passage

or under the terms of any document or instrument under which any such evidence of indebtedness or other agreement is issued, assumed,
secured, or guaranteed, and such event shall continue beyond any applicable notice, grace or cure period, provided that such condition
shall not have been cured within thirty (30) calendar days of notice by Holder; or
(d) the Company
shall fail to maintain its existence in good standing in its state of incorporation; provided that such condition shall
not have been cured within thirty (30) calendar days of notice by Holder; or
(e) a judgment

effect on the ability of the Company to repay this Debenture; or any garnishment, summons, writ of attachment, citation, levy or
the like is issued against or served upon Holder for the attachment of any property of the Company in Holder’s possession
or control, provided Holder of such condition; or

subject to acceleration if an Event of Default occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid Principal sum of this Debenture,
together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable upon any of the Events of Default set
forth in this Debenture.

AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE AND WARRANT
PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made as of March 1, 2014 by and between Mr. Anthony Freda Jr., (the “Investor”) and VG Life Sciences,
Inc. (the "Company" or “VGLS”).
THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Purchase and Sale of Notes.
1.1 Purchase and Sale of Note. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and pursuant to a promissory note
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Note"), the Investor agrees to purchase at the Closing and the Company
agrees to sell and issue to the Investor at the Closing a Note in the principal amount of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) at a price
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof (the "Investment"). For clarification, this Agreement
replaces and satisfies all obligations pursuant to the Investor’s Unsecured Convertible Debenture, dated August 29, 2012,
including any accrued interest and penalties and default provisions thereunder , as acknowledged and agreed by Investor and Company
in accordance with the March 1, 2014 Amendment to Unsecured Convertible Debenture. Both the Note and the Warrant (as defined in
Section 1.2 below) include a cashless exercise feature enabling conversion into unregistered shares (“Shares”) of common
stock of VGLS based on the spread between the warrant exercise price and the then-trading value of the underlying VGLS Shares.
The Note is convertible into Shares at a conversion rate equal to the lowest three-day average closing price of the Shares starting
on July 16, 2013 and ending on September 15, 2013 (the “Period”), minus a ten percent (10%) discount. The Note will
be convertible into Shares in four equal tranches (25% each) on the following dates: December 15, 2014, March 15, 2015, June 15,
2015, and September 15, 2015. The Note carries an eight percent (8%) per annum interest, and any unconverted shares automatically
convert into Shares on September 15, 2015, and will not be prepayable at any time by VGLS.
1.2 Purchase and Sale of Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Investor agrees to purchase
and the Company agrees to sell and issue to the Investor at the Closing, a warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B
(the "Warrant") to purchase shares of a series of the Company's Common Stock. In addition to the Notes, Investor will
receive warrant coverage (“Warrants”) for 40,000 Shares at $0.45 per Share, which includes a cashless exercise feature.
The Warrants will be exercisable on any date from and including the four-year anniversary of the date of this Agreement and the
five-year anniversary thereof.
1.3 Closing.
(a) The purchase and sale of the Note and Warrant shall take place at the offices of Investor at 10:00 A.M. between March

regulation applicable to the Company. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance and delivery of the Note and the Warrant, will not result in any

any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Company, together with the interest accrued thereon and all other amounts payable
by the Company hereunder and pursue all of Holder’s rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and
all other remedies available to Holder under applicable law.
Section
3. Optional Conversion.
(a) The outstanding principal and all
accrued and unpaid interest of this Note shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder, into shares of common stock of the

the following dates: December 15, 2014, March 15, 2015, June 15, 2015, and September 15, 2015. Further, the Holder also has the

Each Conversion Notice shall specify the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to
be effected (the “Conversion Date”). Subject to Section 3(b), each Conversion Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable.
If the Holder is converting less than all of the principal amount represented by the Note(s) tendered by the Holder with the Conversion
Notice, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a new Note for such principal amount as has not been converted.
(b) Not later than ten (10) Business
Days after the Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates containing the restrictive
legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon
the conversion of Notes and (ii) Notes in principal amount equal to the principal amount of Notes not converted; provided, however
that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
any Notes, until Notes are either delivered for conversion to the Company or any transfer Holder for the Notes or Common Stock,
or the Holder notifies the Company that such Notes have been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides a lost instrument indemnity
to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. If such certificate or certificates
are not delivered by the date required under this Section 3(b), the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Company
at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event
the Company shall immediately return the Notes tendered for conversion.
(c) (i)

in effect on any Conversion Date shall be 10% less than the lowest 3 day average during the period beginning July 16, 2013 and
ending September 15, 2013, subject to adjustment as otherwise contemplated by this Section 3(c).

shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares
of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Note thereafter
surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to received the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have owned or have
been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had this Note been converted immediately prior
to the happening of such event. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any of the events listed above shall occur. An adjustment
made pursuant to this subdivision (A) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(B) If, at any time while
this Note is outstanding, the Company takes any voluntary action or any event occurs as to which the foregoing subdivisions not
strictly applicable, but the failure to make an adjustment in the Conversion Price hereunder would not fairly protect the rights,
without dilution, represented by this Note, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so
that the Holder of this Note shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have owned or been
entitled to receive after the happening of any such action or event, had this Note been converted immediately prior to the happening
of any such action or event.
(d) The Company covenants that it will
at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon
conversion of Notes as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other

amount of all outstanding Notes. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue,
be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

shares of Common Stock on conversion of Notes shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes
that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required to
pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion
in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until
the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established
to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
(g) Notes converted into Common Stock
shall be canceled.
(h) Each Conversion Notice shall be
given by facsimile and by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company of VG Life Sciences Inc.

after deposit in the United States mails or (iii) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
Section 4. Mandatory Conversion.

the mandatory conversion of this Note; provided, however that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing
the equity securities issuable upon conversion of this Note, until the Note is either delivered for conversion to the Company or
any transfer Holder of the Note or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the Company that the Note have been lost, stolen or destroyed
and provides a lost instrument indemnity or bond to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection
therewith. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall comply with Sections 3(d) through (g) with respect to any
mandatory conversion and such sections are incorporated by reference herein.
Section 5. Payment
of Principal and Redemption.
(a) To the extent not
converted in full on or prior to the Maturity Date, as contemplated herein, then the outstanding principal balance of this Note
shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. Prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date this Note may not be prepaid.

of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or
Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or
class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise
or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the shares if
this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event

carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect
Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment. If the Company takes any action affecting the Shares or its common
stock other than as described above that adversely affects Holder’s rights under this Warrant, the Warrant Price shall be
adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that
the aggregate Warrant price of this Warrant is unchanged.

Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down

accrued and unpaid interest of this Note shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder, into shares of common stock of the
Company (“Common Stock”) at the Conversion Ratio, at the option of the Holder, in four equal tranches (25% each) on
the following dates: December 15, 2014, March 15, 2015, June 15, 2015, and September 15, 2015. Further, the Holder also has the
right to convert at the Conversion Ratio at any time prior to September 15, 2015, except that any lock-up restrictions will remain
in effect. Any conversion under this Section 3(a) shall be of a minimum amount of US $5,000 of Notes. The Holder shall effect
conversions by surrendering the Notes (or such portions thereof) to be converted to the Company, together with the form of conversion
notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) in the manner set forth in Section 3(h).
Each Conversion Notice shall specify the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to
be effected (the “Conversion Date”). Subject to Section 3(b), each Conversion Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable.
If the Holder is converting less than all of the principal amount represented by the Note(s) tendered by the Holder with the Conversion
Notice, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a new Note for such principal amount as has not been converted.
(b) Not later than ten (10) Business
Days after the Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates containing the restrictive
legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon
the conversion of Notes and (ii) Notes in principal amount equal to the principal amount of Notes not converted; provided, however
that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
any Notes, until Notes are either delivered for conversion to the Company or any transfer Holder for the Notes or Common Stock,
or the Holder notifies the Company that such Notes have been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides a lost instrument indemnity
to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. If such certificate or certificates
are not delivered by the date required under this Section 3(b), the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Company
at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event
the Company shall immediately return the Notes tendered for conversion.
(c) (i)
The conversion price (“Conversion Price”) for each Note
in effect on any Conversion Date shall be 10% less than the lowest 3 day average during the period beginning July 16, 2013 and
ending September 15, 2013, subject to adjustment as otherwise contemplated by this Section 3(c).
(ii) The Conversion
Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:
(A) In case the Company shall (i) pay
a dividend in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares
of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Note thereafter
surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to received the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have owned or have
been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had this Note been converted immediately prior
to the happening of such event. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any of the events listed above shall occur. An adjustment
made pursuant to this subdivision (A) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(B) If, at any time while
this Note is outstanding, the Company takes any voluntary action or any event occurs as to which the foregoing subdivisions not
strictly applicable, but the failure to make an adjustment in the Conversion Price hereunder would not fairly protect the rights,
without dilution, represented by this Note, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so
that the Holder of this Note shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have owned or been
entitled to receive after the happening of any such action or event, had this Note been converted immediately prior to the happening
of any such action or event.
(d) The Company covenants that it will
at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon
conversion of Notes as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other
than the holders of Notes, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding Notes. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue,
be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
(e) Upon a conversion hereunder the
Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may, if otherwise
permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the Conversion Price at such time.
(f) The issuance of certificates for
shares of Common Stock on conversion of Notes shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes
that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required to
pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion
in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until
the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established
to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
(g) Notes converted into Common Stock
shall be canceled.
(h) Each Conversion Notice shall be
given by facsimile and by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company of VG Life Sciences Inc.
located 121 Gray Avenue, Suite 200, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Any such notice shall be deemed given and effective upon the earliest
to occur of (i) receipt of such facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section 3(h), (ii) five days
after deposit in the United States mails or (iii) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
Section 4. Mandatory Conversion.
(a) In the event Holder has not elected
to convert all of the principal and interest remaining owing under this Note on or prior to the Maturity Date, the then outstanding
principal and accrued and unpaid interest amount of this Note shall, without further action by the Holder or the Company, be automatically
converted in whole into that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company at the Conversion Ratio on the Maturity Date (the
“Mandatory Conversion Date”).
(b) Not later than ten (10) Business
Days after the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates containing the restrictive
legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon
the mandatory conversion of this Note; provided, however that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing
the equity securities issuable upon conversion of this Note, until the Note is either delivered for conversion to the Company or
any transfer Holder of the Note or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the Company that the Note have been lost, stolen or destroyed
and provides a lost instrument indemnity or bond to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection
therewith. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall comply with Sections 3(d) through (g) with respect to any
mandatory conversion and such sections are incorporated by reference herein.
Section 5. Payment
of Principal and Redemption.
(a) To the extent not
converted in full on or prior to the Maturity Date, as contemplated herein, then the outstanding principal balance of this Note
shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. Prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date this Note may not be prepaid.
(b) Nothing in this Section
5 shall impair the Holder’s right to convert this Note pursuant to Section 3 prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date.
Section 6. Definitions.
For the purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Business Day”
shall mean any day, except a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the State of California are authorized
or required by law to close.

means, at any time, a fraction, of which the numerator is the outstanding principal amount represented by any Note plus accrued
but unpaid interest, and of which the denominator is the Conversion Price at such time.

Section 7. Stockholder
Rights. This Note shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including without limitation,
the right to vote, to receive dividends and other distributions, or to receive any notice of, or to attend, meetings of stockholders
or any other proceedings of the Company, unless and to the extent converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the
terms hereof.
Section 8. Lost
Note. If this Note shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution
for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Note, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed debenture, a new
Note for the principal amount of this Note so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss,
theft or destruction of such Note, and of the ownership hereof, and indemnity or bond, if requested, all reasonably satisfactory
to the Company.
Section 9. Governing Law.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to conflicts

a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Company

or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note. Any
waiver must be in writing.
Section 12. Severability. If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain

AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE AND WARRANT

THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Purchase and Sale of Notes.
1.1 Purchase and Sale of Note. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and pursuant to a promissory note
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Note"), the Investor agrees to purchase at the Closing and the Company
agrees to sell and issue to the Investor at the Closing a Note in the principal amount of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000)
at a price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount thereof (the "Investment"). For clarification,
this Agreement replaces and satisfies all obligations pursuant to the Investor’s Unsecured Convertible Debenture, dated July
31, 2012, including any accrued interest and penalties and default provisions thereunder , as acknowledged and agreed by Investor
and Company in accordance with the March 1, 2014 Amendment to Unsecured Convertible Debenture. Both the Note and the Warrant (as
defined in Section 1.2 below) include a cashless exercise feature enabling conversion into unregistered shares (“Shares”)
of common stock of VGLS based on the spread between the warrant exercise price and the then-trading value of the underlying VGLS
Shares. The Note is convertible into Shares at a conversion rate equal to the lowest three-day average closing price of the Shares
starting on July 16, 2013 and ending on September 15, 2013 (the “Period”), minus a ten percent (10%) discount. The
Note will be convertible into Shares in four equal tranches (25% each) on the following dates: December 15, 2014, March 15, 2015,
June 15, 2015, and September 15, 2015. The Note carries an eight percent (8%) per annum interest, and any unconverted shares automatically
convert into Shares on September 15, 2015, and will not be prepayable at any time by VGLS.
1.2 Purchase and Sale of Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Investor agrees to purchase
and the Company agrees to sell and issue to the Investor at the Closing, a warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B
(the "Warrant") to purchase shares of a series of the Company's Common Stock. In addition to the Notes, Investor will
receive warrant coverage (“Warrants”) for 300,000 Shares at $0.45 per Share, which includes a cashless exercise feature.
The Warrants will be exercisable on any date from and including the four-year anniversary of the date of this Agreement and the
five-year anniversary thereof.
1.3
Closing.
(a) The purchase
and sale of the Note and Warrant shall take place at the offices of Investor at 10:00 A.M. between March 1, 2014 and March
31, 2014, or at such other time and place as the Company and the Investor may determine (the "Closing").
(b) At the Closing,
the Company shall deliver to the Investor a Note representing the principal amount as is prescribed in Section 1.1 above
and the Investor shall cause to be delivered to the Company a wire transfer to the Company's order in the aggregate amount of
the principal amount of the Investment as is prescribed in Section 1.1 above.
2. Representations,
Warranties, and Covenants of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Investor that:
2.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business
as now conducted and proposed to be conducted. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its business or properties.
2.2 Authorization. All corporate actions on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary
for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder and
the authorization, issuance and delivery of the Note and the Warrant have been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing. This
Agreement constitutes, and the Note and the Warrant when executed and delivered in accordance with their terms will constitute,
valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms except (i) as
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement
of creditors' rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief,
or other equitable remedies and (iii) as limited by applicable usury laws.
2.3 Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation or default of any provisions of its Articles of
Incorporation, as amended (the "Articles"), or Bylaws (the "Bylaws"), or, except as set forth on Schedule 1
hereof, in any material respect of any provision of a mortgage, indenture, agreement, instrument or contract to which it is a party
or by which it is bound or of any federal or state judgment order, writ or decree, or, to its knowledge, of any statute, rule or
regulation applicable to the Company. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance and delivery of the Note and the Warrant, will not result in any

accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date until payment in full of the principal sum, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest, has been made or duly provided for. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest hereunder will
be due and payable at the Maturity Date, to the person in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company (the

appearing on the Note Register. A transfer of the right to receive principal and interest under this Note shall be transferable
only through an appropriate entry in the Note Register as provided herein.
This Note is subject to
the following additional provisions, which replace in every respect the terms and provisions of the aforementioned Unsecured Convertible
Debenture:
Section 1. Convertible
Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement. This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement
(the “Agreement”) between the Company and Holder dated as of March 1, 2014. This Note is subject to, and qualified
by, all the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.
Section 2. Events
of Default.
Section 2.1 Events

the occurrence of any such Event of Default, the Holder may, by notice to the Company, declare the unpaid principal amount of
the Notes to be, and the same shall forthwith become, due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of
any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Company, together with the interest accrued thereon and all other amounts payable
by the Company hereunder and pursue all of Holder’s rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and
all other remedies available to Holder under applicable law.
Section
3. Optional Conversion.
(a) The outstanding principal and all
accrued and unpaid interest of this Note shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder, into shares of common stock of the
Company (“Common Stock”) at the Conversion Ratio, at the option of the Holder, in four equal tranches (25% each) on
the following dates: December 15, 2014, March 15, 2015, June 15, 2015, and September 15, 2015. Further, the Holder also has the
right to convert at the Conversion Ratio at any time prior to September 15, 2015, except that any lock-up restrictions will remain
in effect. Any conversion under this Section 3(a) shall be of a minimum amount of US $5,000 of Notes. The Holder shall effect
conversions by surrendering the Notes (or such portions thereof) to be converted to the Company, together with the form of conversion
notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) in the manner set forth in Section 3(h).
Each Conversion Notice shall specify the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to
be effected (the “Conversion Date”). Subject to Section 3(b), each Conversion Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable.
If the Holder is converting less than all of the principal amount represented by the Note(s) tendered by the Holder with the Conversion
Notice, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a new Note for such principal amount as has not been converted.
(b) Not later than ten (10) Business
Days after the Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates containing the restrictive
legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon
the conversion of Notes and (ii) Notes in principal amount equal to the principal amount of Notes not converted; provided, however
that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
any Notes, until Notes are either delivered for conversion to the Company or any transfer Holder for the Notes or Common Stock,
or the Holder notifies the Company that such Notes have been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides a lost instrument indemnity
to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. If such certificate or certificates
are not delivered by the date required under this Section 3(b), the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Company
at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event
the Company shall immediately return the Notes tendered for conversion.
(c) (i) The conversion price (“Conversion
Price”) for each Note in effect on any Conversion Date shall be 10% less than the lowest 3 day average during the period
beginning July 16, 2013 and ending September 15, 2013, subject to adjustment as otherwise contemplated by this Section 3(c).
(ii) The Conversion Price shall
be subject to adjustment as follows:
(A) In case the Company shall (i) pay
a dividend in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares
of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Note thereafter
surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to received the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have owned or have
been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had this Note been converted immediately prior
to the happening of such event. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any of the events listed above shall occur. An adjustment
made pursuant to this subdivision (A) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(B) If, at any time while
this Note is outstanding, the Company takes any voluntary action or any event occurs as to which the foregoing subdivisions not
strictly applicable, but the failure to make an adjustment in the Conversion Price hereunder would not fairly protect the rights,
without dilution, represented by this Note, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so
that the Holder of this Note shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have owned or been
entitled to receive after the happening of any such action or event, had this Note been converted immediately prior to the happening
of any such action or event.
(d) The Company covenants that it will
at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon
conversion of Notes as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other
than the holders of Notes, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding Notes. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue,
be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
(e) Upon a conversion hereunder the
Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may, if otherwise
permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the Conversion Price at such time.
(f) The issuance of certificates for
shares of Common Stock on conversion of Notes shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes
that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required to
pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion
in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until
the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established
to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
(g) Notes converted into Common Stock
shall be canceled.
(h) Each Conversion Notice shall be
given by facsimile and by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company of VG Life Sciences Inc.
located 121 Gray Avenue, Suite 200, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Any such notice shall be deemed given and effective upon the earliest
to occur of (i) receipt of such facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section 3(h), (ii) five days
after deposit in the United States mails or (iii) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
Section 4. Mandatory
Conversion.
(a) In the event Holder has not elected
to convert all of the principal and interest remaining owing under this Note on or prior to the Maturity Date, the then outstanding
principal and accrued and unpaid interest amount of this Note shall, without further action by the Holder or the Company, be automatically
converted in whole into that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company at the Conversion Ratio on the Maturity Date (the
“Mandatory Conversion Date”).
(b) Not later than ten (10) Business
Days after the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates containing the restrictive
legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon
the mandatory conversion of this Note; provided, however that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing
the equity securities issuable upon conversion of this Note, until the Note is either delivered for conversion to the Company or
any transfer Holder of the Note or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the Company that the Note have been lost, stolen or destroyed
and provides a lost instrument indemnity or bond to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection
therewith. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall comply with Sections 3(d) through (g) with respect to any
mandatory conversion and such sections are incorporated by reference herein.
Section 5. Payment
of Principal and Redemption.
(a) To the extent not
converted in full on or prior to the Maturity Date, as contemplated herein, then the outstanding principal balance of this Note
shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. Prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date this Note may not be prepaid.
(b) Nothing in this Section
5 shall impair the Holder’s right to convert this Note pursuant to Section 3 prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date.

Section 7. Stockholder
Rights. This Note shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including without limitation,
the right to vote, to receive dividends and other distributions, or to receive any notice of, or to attend, meetings of stockholders
or any other proceedings of the Company, unless and to the extent converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the

Note for the principal amount of this Note so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss,
theft or destruction of such Note, and of the ownership hereof, and indemnity or bond, if requested, all reasonably satisfactory
to the Company.
Section 9. Governing
Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect

or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note. Any
waiver must be in writing.
Section 12. Severability. If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain

third party.
1.7.2 Assumption of Warrant.
Upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall be
exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised
portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant
Price shall be adjusted accordingly.
1.7.3 Purchase Right. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, at the election of Holder, the Company shall purchase the unexercised portion of this Warrant for cash upon the
closing of any Acquisition for an amount equal to (a) the fair market value of any consideration that would have been received
by Holder in consideration of the Shares had Holder exercised the unexercised portion of this Warrant immediately before the record
date for determining the shareholders entitled to participate in the proceeds of the Acquisition, less (b) the aggregate Warrant
Price of the Shares, but in no event less than zero.
ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.
2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc.
If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its common stock ( or the Shares if the Shares are securities other than common stock
) payable in common stock, or other securities, subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common stock,
or, if the Shares are securities other than common stock, subdivides the Shares in a transaction that increases the amount of common
stock into which the Shares are convertible, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive,
without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares
of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or
Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or
class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise
or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the shares if
this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event
shall include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as
the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation upon the closing of a registered
public offering of the Company’s common stock. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant
for such new securities or other property. The new adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments
to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this
Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.
2.3 Adjustments for Combinations,
Etc. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares,
the Warrant price shall be proportionately increased.
2.4 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances.
The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time
in the manner set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to issuance of securities for a price
lower than certain prices specified in the Certificate of Incorporation.
2.5 No Impairment. The Company
shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of
any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in
carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect
Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment. If the Company takes any action affecting the Shares or its common
stock other than as described above that adversely affects Holder’s rights under this Warrant, the Warrant Price shall be
adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that
the aggregate Warrant price of this Warrant is unchanged.
2.6 Fractional Shares. No fractional
Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down
to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Warrant, the Company shall
eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market
value of a full Share.
2.7 Certificate as to Adjustments.
Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder
with a certificate of its Chief Financial officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based.
The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant price in effect upon the date thereof
and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.
ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS
OF THE COMPANY.

right represented by this Warrant and all securities, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall, upon issuance, be

the principal sum of TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS AND NO CENTS made by the Holder to the Company on April 18, 2013, and to pay
interest on the outstanding principal amount of this Convertible Debenture (this "Debenture") as provided herein.
1. Definitions. The

banks are open for business in both the State of California and the State of New York.
(b) "Common Stock" means the Company's common
stock, par value $0.0001 per Share.
(c) "Conversion
Price" will be the lower of (a) $0.05 per share or (b) a discount of thirty percent (30%) from the average of the closing
price of the Company’s Common Stock (on the principal exchange or market in which the Company’s Common Stock trades)
for the fourteen (14) trading days prior to DMBM’s submission of a conversion notice to the Company.
(d) "Shares" means shares of Common Stock.
(e) "Trading Day" means a calendar day on

with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. Loans. Each
Loan made by the Holder to the Company evidenced by this Debenture, shall be set forth on Schedule A attached hereto. The Holder
is authorized by the of this Debenture.
3. Interest.
Interest on the outstanding Principal amount of this Debenture will accrue at a rate equal to one percent (1%) per annum from the
date of the making of each Loan as set forth on Schedule A. Interest will be computed on the basis of a year of 12 months, each
having 30 days, and will be paid on the Maturity Date and upon any permitted prepayment of this Debenture.
4. Repayment.
The Company shall pay the Principal amount of this Debenture, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, to the Holder on December
31, 2013 (the "Maturity Date").
5. Payment.
All payments due under this Debenture shall be made in either the lawful money of the United States of America or in Shares of
the company’s common stock, as determined by the holder in its discretion.
(a) Form
of Payment. The holder, at its sole discretion, shall decide whether the payment due on the Maturity Date shall be made in
cash or in Shares.
(b) Payment
in Cash. All payments in cash shall be made to the Holder by check or by wire transfer to such bank as the Holder may advise
the Company in writing.
(c) Payment
in Shares. The number of Shares issuable upon a payment being made in Shares shall be calculated by dividing the aggregate
amount due on the Maturity Date by the Conversion Price. No fractional Shares will be issued upon conversion of this Debenture
or a payment by the Company in Shares. In lieu of any fractional Share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled upon a
payment in Shares, the Company will pay to the Holder in cash the amount of the unpaid or unconverted Principal and interest balance
of this Debenture that would otherwise be paid or converted into such fractional Share. Shares issued hereunder shall be transmitted
by the transfer agent of the Company to the Holder either by crediting the account of the Holder's designated broker with the
Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC"), or, if so elected by Holder, by physical
delivery of certificates to Holder's address within five (5) Trading Days from the Due Date. If the Company fails for any reason
to deliver to the Holder the Shares by the requisite delivery date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares not timely delivered, $5 per Trading Day (increasing to $10 per Trading
Day on the fifteenth (15) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such requisite
delivery date until such Shares are delivered. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to
cause its transfer agent to deliver to the Holder the Shares on or before the requisite delivery date, and if after such date
the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder's brokerage firm
otherwise purchases, Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Shares
which the Holder anticipated receiving pursuant to this Debenture (a "Buy-In"), then the purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Shares that
the Company was required to deliver to the Holder multiplied by (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase
obligation was executed, and (2) deliver to the Holder the number of Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely
complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Shares having a total purchase
price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause
(1) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $ 1,000. The Holder shall provide the
Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company,
commercially reasonable evidence of the amount of such loss.
(d) Adjustments.
If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding subdivides outstanding Shares into a larger number of shares or
combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Shares into a smaller number of shares, then the Conversion Price
shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Shares outstanding immediately before such event
and of which the denominator shall be the number of Shares outstanding immediately after such event.
6. Prepayment.
This Debenture may not be prepaid by the Company without the prior written consent of the Holder, except as provided in Section
7 of this Debenture.
7.
Conversion. At any time prior
to five (5) business days prior to the Maturity Date, all or any portion of the Principal amount of this Debenture, together will
accrued interest thereon, may be converted at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time, in the minimum principal
amount of $5,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereafter, upon not less than two (2) three (3) Business Days after the Company's
receipt of the Conversion Notice (as hereinafter defined) from the Holder and payment in full of the Conversion Price as then
in effect. Each "Conversion Notice" shall mean a written notice from the Holder informing the Company of the date of
the conversion, the principal amount of this Debenture being converted, the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon
conversion and confirming that the Conversion Price will be paid in cash. The Conversion Price shall be paid by certified check
or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Company in writing. Within three (3) Business
Days after payment of the Conversion Price, the Company will deliver a certificate for the shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion to the Holder, or at the Holder’s request, to a brokerage account for the benefit of Holder. The Company shall
at all times reserve for issuance a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to satisfy the conversion feature of this Debenture.
The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of all or a portion of this Debenture shall be equal to the
Principal amount of this Debenture being converted divided by the Conversion Price. For purposes hereof, any partial conversion
of this Debenture, each Loan shall be considered separate and distinct indebtedness of the Company to the Holder for purposes
of determining the holding period of each item of indebtedness represented by the Loan. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein,
in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert for a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of that number of shares
of Common Stock which, upon giving effect to such conversion, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by the Holder and its affiliates to exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such conversion.
Notwithstanding receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall have the right to prepay this Debenture in the amount being
converted if the principal amount to be converted together with accrued interest thereon is paid in immediately available funds
within one (1) business day after the date of the
8. Seniority.
The indebtedness represented by this Debenture is and shall be an obligation of the Company ranking senior in right of payment,
liquidation and otherwise to any future indebtedness and other obligations of the Company. The Company will not create any indebtedness
that is senior in priority to the indebtedness represented by this Debenture.
9. Default. Any
one of the following occurrences shall constitute an "Event of Default" under this Debenture:
(a) failure
of Company to pay any amount that it payable under this Debenture on the Due Date, provided that such failure is not cured within
a grace period of ten (10) calendar days; or
(b) failure
to comply with or perform any other agreement or covenant of the Company contained herein, which failure does not otherwise constitute
an Event of Default, provided that such failure has not been cured within thirty (30) calendar days written notice by Holder to
the Company; or
(c) there
shall occur any default or event of default, any similar event, any event that requires the prepayment of borrowed money or permits
the acceleration of the maturity thereof, or any event or condition that might become any of the foregoing with notice or the passage
of time or both, under the terms of any evidence of indebtedness or other agreement issued or assumed or entered into by the Company,
or under the terms of any document or instrument under which any such evidence of indebtedness or other agreement is issued, assumed,
secured, or guaranteed, and such event shall continue beyond any applicable notice, grace or cure period, provided that such condition
shall not have been cured within thirty (30) calendar days of notice by Holder; or
(d) the Company
shall fail to maintain its existence in good standing in its state of incorporation; provided that such condition shall
not have been cured within thirty (30) calendar days of notice by Holder; or
(e) a judgment
or settlement shall be entered or agreed to in any proceeding which would reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse
effect on the ability of the Company to repay this Debenture; or any garnishment, summons, writ of attachment, citation, levy or
the like is issued against or served upon Holder for the attachment of any property of the Company in Holder’s possession
or control, provided that such condition shall not have been cured within thirty (30) calendar days of notice by Holder of such
condition; or

at the rate equal to the stated rate plus 5.00% per annum, and Holder may exercise any rights and remedies under this Debenture,

subject to acceleration if an Event of Default occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid Principal sum of this Debenture,
together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall become immediately due and payable upon any of the Events of Default set
forth in this Debenture.
11.

of this Debenture shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties. At the

AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS CONVERTIBLE
PROMISSORY NOTE AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made as of August 22, 2014, by and among Hock

THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

to sell and issue to the Investor at the Closing and thereafter Notes in the principal amount of at least Fifty Thousand Dollars

as contemplated herein. The Warrant (as defined in Section 1.2 below) includes a cashless exercise feature enabling conversion
into unregistered shares (“Shares”) of common stock of VGLS based on the spread between the warrant exercise price
and the then- trading value of the underlying VGLS Shares. The Note is convertible into Shares at a conversion rate equal to the
lowest consecutive three-day average closing price of the Shares starting on July 23, 2014 and ending on August 21, 2014 (the
“Period”), minus a ten percent (10%) discount (the “Price”). Investor may not convert for one year after

of the date of a given note commencing fifteen months and for each of the three succeeding quarters. With respect to the Note:
(a) it bears interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, (b) any unconverted principal and interest remaining on the
Note on August 21, 2016 shall be automatically converted into Shares on such date, and (c) it will not be prepayable by VGLS.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor may convert all or any portion of the Notes, solely at the option of the Investor,
except that the lock up restrictions remain in effect. The maturity date for all notes shall be August 21, 2016.
1.2 Purchase and Sale of Warrant. Subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, the Investor agrees to purchase and the Company agrees to sell and issue to the Investor at the
Closing, a warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Warrant") to purchase shares of the Company's Common
Stock. In addition to the Notes, Investor will receive warrant coverage (“Warrants”) for four Shares for every one
dollar ($1.00) of cash provided to the Company under Section 1.1 above, with each Warrant to be exercisable by Investor at the
Price, as stated in Section 1.1 above, multiplied by 7.5, which includes a cashless exercise feature. The Warrants will be exercisable
on any date after the four-year anniversary of the date of this Agreement and expire on the five-year anniversary of the date of
this Agreement.

take place upon execution of this Agreement, or at such other time and place as the Company and the Investor may determine (the
"Closing").

receive (prior to the close of any such Change of Control) any remaining Notes and the Shares to which Investor would have been
entitled to under the Notes or the conversion thereof absent such Change of Control. In addition to the foregoing, in the event
of a Change of Control of VGLS, Investor shall be entitled to receive and exercise (prior to the close of any such Change of Control)
any and all corresponding Warrants to which it would have been entitled under Sections 1.1 and 1.2 above during the full term of
this Agreement absent such Change of Control, and the Shares exercisable under the Warrants. For purposes of this Section 1.4 a

any transaction or series of transactions to which VGLS is a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of VGLS’s voting

indenture, agreement, instrument or contract to which it is a party or by which it is bound or of any federal or state judgment

and performance by the Company of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance
and delivery of the Notes and the Warrants, will not result in any such violation or be in material conflict with or constitute,
with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, either a material default under any such provision or an event that results
in the creation of any material lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment,
forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization, or approval applicable to the Company, its business or
operations, or any of its assets or properties.
2.4 Governmental Consents. Based in part upon the representations
and warranties of the Investor in Section 3, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation,

reason, no longer has a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares to comply with this Section 2.5, it shall use its best
efforts to promptly authorize such shares. Upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion of the Notes
and/or the exercise of the Warrants, such shares of Common Stock shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,

securities laws govern the issuance of the Notes and/or the Warrants pursuant to this Agreement and shall not be issued in violation
of any preemptive or similar right.
2.6 No Brokers. No broker or finder has acted directly
or indirectly for the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no broker or finder is entitled
to any brokerage, finder's or other fee or commission in respect thereof based in any way on agreements, arrangements or understandings
made by or on behalf of the Company and the Investor or the transactions contemplated hereby.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
THIS CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY
NOTE (“Note”) is issued as of August 22, 2014 (the “Original Issue Date”), by VG Life Sciences, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000.00.
Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given
in Section 6 below.
FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to Hock Tiam Tay or registered assigns (the “Holder”), the principal sum
of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), on or before August 21, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”) and to pay interest to the
Holder on the principal sum, at the rate per annum of eight percent (8%). Interest shall accrue daily commencing on the Original
Issue Date until payment in full of the principal sum, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, has been made or duly provided
for. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest hereunder will be due and payable at the Maturity Date,
to the person in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company (the “Note Register”). The principal
of, and interest on, this Note are payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is
legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the address of the Holder last appearing on the Note Register. A transfer
of the right to receive principal and interest under this Note shall be transferable only through an appropriate entry in the Note
Register as provided herein.
This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:
Section 1. Convertible
Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement. This Note is one of the Notes issued pursuant to that certain Convertible Note and Warrant
Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Company and Holder dated as of August 22, 2014. This Note is subject
to, and qualified by, all the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.
Section 2. Events of Default.
Section 2.1 Events
of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreement) has occurred then upon the
occurrence of any such Event of Default, the Holder may, by notice to the Company, declare the unpaid principal amount of the Notes
to be, and the same shall forthwith become, due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby waived by the Company, together with the interest accrued thereon and all other amounts payable by the
Company hereunder and pursue all of Holder’s rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and all other
remedies available to Holder under applicable law.
Section 3. Optional Conversion.
(a) The outstanding principal
and all accrued and unpaid interest of this Note shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder, into shares of common stock
of the Company (“Common Stock”) at the Conversion Ratio, at the option of the Holder, in four equal tranches (25% each)
on the following dates: November 22 , 2015, February 22, 2016, May 22 , 2016, and August 22, 2016. Any conversion under this
Section 3(a) shall be of a minimum amount of US $5,000 of Notes. The Holder shall effect conversions by surrendering the
Notes (or such portions thereof) to be converted to the Company, together with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) in the manner set forth in Section 3(h). Each Conversion Notice shall
specify the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (the “Conversion
Date”). Subject to Section 3(b), each Conversion Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable. If the Holder is converting
less than all of the principal amount represented by the Note(s) tendered by the Holder with the Conversion Notice, the Company
shall promptly deliver to the Holder a new Note for such principal amount as has not been converted.
(b) Not later than fifteen
(10) Business Days after the Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates containing
the restrictive legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being
acquired upon the conversion of Notes and (ii) Notes in principal amount equal to the principal amount of Notes not converted;
provided, however that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of any Notes, until Notes are either delivered for conversion to the Company or any transfer Holder for the Notes
or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the Company that such Notes have been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides a lost instrument
indemnity to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. If such certificate or
certificates are not delivered by the date required under this Section 3(b), the Holder shall be entitled by written notice
to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion,
in which event the Company shall immediately return the Notes tendered for conversion.
(c) (i) The conversion price
(“Conversion Price”) for each Note in effect on any Conversion Date shall be 10% less than the lowest 3 day average
during the period beginning July 2 3 , 2014 and ending August 2 1 , 2014, subject to adjustment as otherwise contemplated by this
Section 3(c).
(ii) In case of any Acquisition
(as defined below) of the Company, then Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert any principal and interest remaining
owing under this Note prior to the closing of any such Acquisition. At the election of Holder, Holder may convert this Note into
the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following
such Acquisition, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or property as the shares
of the Common Stock, into which the Note could have been converted immediately prior to such Acquisition, would have been entitled.
The terms of any such Acquisition shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive the securities
or property set forth in this Section 3(c) upon any conversion following such Acquisition. This provision shall similarly
apply to successive Acquisitions. “Acquisition” means (a) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the VGLS’s assets, (b) the consummation of the merger or consolidation of VGLS with or into another
entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of VGLS immediately prior to such merger or consolidation
continue to hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of VGLS or the surviving or acquiring entity),
or any transaction or series of transactions to which VGLS is a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of VGLS’s
voting power is transferred, or (c) the exclusive license of all or substantially all of the intellectual property of VGLS to a
third party
(iii) The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as
follows:
(A) In case the Company
shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock
any shares of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this
Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have
owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had this Note been converted immediately
prior to the happening of such event. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any of the events listed above shall occur. An adjustment
made pursuant to this subdivision (A) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(B) If, at any time
while this Note is outstanding, the Company takes any voluntary action or any event occurs as to which the foregoing subdivisions
are not strictly applicable, but the failure to make an adjustment in the Conversion Price hereunder would not fairly protect the
rights, without dilution, represented by this Note, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted
so that the Holder of this Note shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have owned or
been entitled to receive after the happening of any such action or event, had this Note been converted immediately prior to the
happening of any such action or event.
(d) The Company covenants
that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of
issuance upon conversion of Notes as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights
of persons other than the holders of Notes, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of the
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Notes. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable
shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
(e) Upon a conversion hereunder
the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may, if otherwise
permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the Conversion Price at such time.
(f) The issuance of certificates
for shares of Common Stock on conversion of Notes shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar
taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required
to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon
conversion in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates
unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or
shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
(g) Notes converted into Common Stock shall be canceled.
(h) Each Conversion Notice
shall be given by email or mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Controller of the Company of VG Life Sciences, Inc. located
121 Gray Avenue, Suite 200, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Any such notice shall be deemed given and effective upon the earliest to occur
of (i) receipt of such email at the email address specified in this Section 3(h), (ii) five days after deposit in the United
States mails or (iii) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
Section 4. Mandatory Conversion.
(a) In the event Holder has
not elected to convert all of the principal and interest remaining owing under this Note on or prior to two years after the date
of this note, the then outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest amount of this Note shall, without further action
by the Holder or the Company, be automatically converted in whole into that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company at
the Conversion Ratio on the Maturity Date (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”).
(b) Not later than ten (10)
Business Days after the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates containing
the restrictive legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being
acquired upon the mandatory conversion of this Note; provided, however that the Company shall not be obligated to issue
certificates evidencing the equity securities issuable upon conversion of this Note, until the Note is either delivered for conversion
to the Company or any transfer Holder of the Note or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the Company that the Note have been lost,
stolen or destroyed and provides a lost instrument indemnity or bond to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred
by it in connection therewith. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall comply with Sections 3(d) through (g)
with respect to any mandatory conversion and such sections are incorporated by reference herein.
Section 5. Payment of Principal and Redemption.
(a) In the event of an occurrence
of an Event of Default, then the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
Prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date this Note may not be prepaid.
(b) Nothing in this Section
5 shall impair the Holder’s right to convert this Note pursuant to Section 3 prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date.
Section 6. Definitions.
For the purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Business Day”
shall mean any day, except a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the State of California are authorized
or required by law to close.
“Conversion Ratio”
means, at any time, a fraction, of which the numerator is the outstanding principal amount represented by any Note plus accrued
but unpaid interest, and of which the denominator is the Conversion Price at such time.
“Original Issue Date”
means the date of the first issuance of this Note regardless of the number transfers hereof.
Section 7. Stockholder
Rights. This Note shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including without limitation,
the right to vote, to receive dividends and other distributions, or to receive any notice of, or to attend, meetings of stockholders
or any other proceedings of the Company, unless and to the extent converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the
terms hereof.
Section 8. Lost
Note. If this Note shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution
for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Note, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed debenture, a new
Note for the principal amount of this Note so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss,
theft or destruction of such Note, and of the ownership hereof, and indemnity or bond, if requested, all reasonably satisfactory
to the Company.
Section 9. Governing
Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect
to conflicts of laws thereof.
Section 10. Notices.
All notices or other communications hereunder shall be given, and shall be deemed duly given and received, if given, in the
manner set forth in Section 5(h).
Section 11. Waiver.
Any waiver by the Company or the Holder a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver
of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Company or the Holder
to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that
party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note. Any waiver must be in
writing.
Section 12. Severability.
If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any
provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this
instrument to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above indicated.

WARRANT
TO PURCHASE STOCK
Company: VG Life Sciences, Inc.
Number of Shares: 200,000
Class of Stock: Common
Initial Exercise Price Per Share: $0.8552
Issue Date: August 22, 2014
THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for the agreed upon value of $1.00
and for other good and valuable consideration, Hock Tiam Tay (“Holder”)
is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the class of securities (the “Shares”)
of VG Life Sciences, Inc. (the “Company” or “VGLS”) at the initial exercise price per Share (the “Warrant
Price”) all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon
the terms and conditions set forth of this Warrant.
ARTICLE 1. EXERCISE
1.1 Method of Exercise.
Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix
1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.2, Holders shall
also deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.2 Conversion Right.
In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or
in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share.
The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant Section 1.4.
1.3 No Rights Shareholder.
This Warrant does not entitle Holder to any voting rights as a shareholder of the company prior to the exercise hereof.
1.4 Fair Market
Value. For purposes of Section 1.2, if the Shares are traded in a public market, the fair market value of the Shares
shall be the closing price of the Shares (or the closing price of the Company’s stock into which the Shares are
convertible) reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the
Shares are not traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its
reasonable good faith judgment. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Holder advises the Board of Directors in writing that
Holder disagrees with such determination, then the Company and Holder shall promptly agree upon a reputable investment
banking or public accounting firm to undertake such valuation. If the valuation of such investment banking firm is greater
than that determined by the Board of Directors, then all fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be paid by
the company. In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be paid by Holder.
1.5 Delivery of Certificate
and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or converts this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates
for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not been fully exercised or converted
and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the Shares not so acquired.
1.6 Replacement of Warrants.
On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and,
in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to
the Company or, in the case of mutilation, or surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute
and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.
1.7 Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Company
1.7.1 “Acquisition”
For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means (a) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition
of all or substantially all of the VGLS’s assets, (b) the consummation of the merger or consolidation of VGLS with or into
another entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of VGLS immediately prior to such merger
or consolidation continue to hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of VGLS or the surviving
or acquiring entity), or any transaction or series of transactions to which VGLS is a party in which in excess of fifty percent
(50%) of VGLS’s voting power is transferred, or (c) the exclusive license of all or substantially all of the intellectual
property of VGLS to a third party.
1.7.2 Assumption of Warrant.
Upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall be
exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised
portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant
Price shall be adjusted accordingly.
1.7.3 Purchase Right.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of Holder, the Company shall purchase the unexercised portion of this Warrant for
cash upon the closing of any Acquisition for an amount equal to (a) the fair market value of any consideration that would have
been received by Holder in consideration of the Shares had Holder exercised the unexercised portion of this Warrant immediately
before the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to participate in the proceeds of the Acquisition, less (b) the
aggregate Warrant Price of the Shares, but in no event less than zero.
ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.
2.1 Stock
Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its common stock (or the Shares if the Shares are
securities other than common stock ) payable in amount of common stock, or, if the Shares are securities other than common
stock, subdivides the Shares in a transaction that increases the amount of common stock into which the Shares are
convertible, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the
total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the
date the dividend or subdivision occurred.
2.2 Reclassification,
Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the
number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive,
upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for
the shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event.
Such an event shall include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class
or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation upon the closing
of a registered public offering of the Company’s common stock. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder
a new Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without
limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant.
The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.
2.3 Adjustments for
Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser
number of shares, the Warrant price shall be proportionately increased.
2.4 Adjustments for
Diluting Issuances. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall be subject to adjustment,
from time to time in the manner set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to issuance of securities
for a price lower than certain prices specified in the Certificate of Incorporation.
2.5 No Impairment.
The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation,
merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance
of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist
in carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect
Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment. If the Company takes any action affecting the Shares or its common
stock other than as described above that adversely affects Holder’s rights under this Warrant, the Warrant Price shall be
adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that
the aggregate Warrant price of this Warrant is unchanged.
2.6 Fractional Shares.
No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall
be rounded down to the common stock, or other securities, subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater nearest whole
Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional
share interest by paying Holder amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.
2.7 Certificate as to
Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment,
and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such
adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant price in effect
upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.
ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS
OF THE COMPANY.
3.1 Representations
and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise
of the purchase right represented by this Warrant and all securities, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall, upon

of any class or series or other rights; (c) to effect any reclassification or recapitalization of common stock; (d) to merge or

VG LIFE SCIENCES, INC.
CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY
NOTE
THIS CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY
NOTE (“Note”) is issued as of August 22, 2014 (the “Original Issue Date”), by VG Life Sciences, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000.00.
Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given
in Section 6 below.
FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to Hock Tiam Tay or registered assigns (the “Holder”), the principal sum
of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), on or before August 21, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”) and to pay interest to the
Holder on the principal sum, at the rate per annum of eight percent (8%). Interest shall accrue daily commencing on the Original
Issue Date until payment in full of the principal sum, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, has been made or duly provided
for. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest hereunder will be due and payable at the Maturity Date,
to the person in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company (the “Note Register”). The principal
of, and interest on, this Note are payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is
legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the address of the Holder last appearing on the Note Register. A transfer
of the right to receive principal and interest under this Note shall be transferable only through an appropriate entry in the Note
Register as provided herein.
This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:
Section 1. Convertible
Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement. This Note is one of the Notes issued pursuant to that certain Convertible Note and Warrant
Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Company and Holder dated as of August 22, 2014. This Note is subject
to, and qualified by, all the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.
Section 2. Events of Default.
Section 2.1 Events
of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreement) has occurred then upon the
occurrence of any such Event of Default, the Holder may, by notice to the Company, declare the unpaid principal amount of the Notes
to be, and the same shall forthwith become, due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby waived by the Company, together with the interest accrued thereon and all other amounts payable by the
Company hereunder and pursue all of Holder’s rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and all other
remedies available to Holder under applicable law.
Section 3. Optional Conversion.
(a) The outstanding principal
and all accrued and unpaid interest of this Note shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder, into shares of common stock
of the Company (“Common Stock”) at the Conversion Ratio, at the option of the Holder, in four equal tranches (25% each)
on the following dates: November 22 , 2015, February 22, 2016, May 22 , 2016, and August 22, 2016. Any conversion under this
Section 3(a) shall be of a minimum amount of US $5,000 of Notes. The Holder shall effect conversions by surrendering the
Notes (or such portions thereof) to be converted to the Company, together with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”) in the manner set forth in Section 3(h). Each Conversion Notice shall
specify the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (the “Conversion
Date”). Subject to Section 3(b), each Conversion Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable. If the Holder is converting
less than all of the principal amount represented by the Note(s) tendered by the Holder with the Conversion Notice, the Company
shall promptly deliver to the Holder a new Note for such principal amount as has not been converted.
(b) Not later than fifteen
(10) Business Days after the Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates containing
the restrictive legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being
acquired upon the conversion of Notes and (ii) Notes in principal amount equal to the principal amount of Notes not converted;
provided, however that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of any Notes, until Notes are either delivered for conversion to the Company or any transfer Holder for the Notes
or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the Company that such Notes have been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides a lost instrument
indemnity to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. If such certificate or
certificates are not delivered by the date required under this Section 3(b), the Holder shall be entitled by written notice
to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion,
in which event the Company shall immediately return the Notes tendered for conversion.
(c) (i) The conversion price
(“Conversion Price”) for each Note in effect on any Conversion Date shall be 10% less than the lowest 3 day average
during the period beginning July 2 3 , 2014 and ending August 2 1 , 2014, subject to adjustment as otherwise contemplated by this
Section 3(c).
(ii) In case of any Acquisition
(as defined below) of the Company, then Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert any principal and interest remaining
owing under this Note prior to the closing of any such Acquisition. At the election of Holder, Holder may convert this Note into
the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following
such Acquisition, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or property as the shares
of the Common Stock, into which the Note could have been converted immediately prior to such Acquisition, would have been entitled.
The terms of any such Acquisition shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive the securities
or property set forth in this Section 3(c) upon any conversion following such Acquisition. This provision shall similarly
apply to successive Acquisitions. “Acquisition” means (a) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the VGLS’s assets, (b) the consummation of the merger or consolidation of VGLS with or into another
entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of VGLS immediately prior to such merger or consolidation
continue to hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of VGLS or the surviving or acquiring entity),
or any transaction or series of transactions to which VGLS is a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of VGLS’s
voting power is transferred, or (c) the exclusive license of all or substantially all of the intellectual property of VGLS to a
third party
(iii) The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment as
follows:
(A) In case the Company
shall (i) pay a dividend in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock
any shares of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this
Note thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have
owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had this Note been converted immediately
prior to the happening of such event. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any of the events listed above shall occur. An adjustment
made pursuant to this subdivision (A) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(B) If, at any time
while this Note is outstanding, the Company takes any voluntary action or any event occurs as to which the foregoing subdivisions
are not strictly applicable, but the failure to make an adjustment in the Conversion Price hereunder would not fairly protect the
rights, without dilution, represented by this Note, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted
so that the Holder of this Note shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have owned or
been entitled to receive after the happening of any such action or event, had this Note been converted immediately prior to the
happening of any such action or event.
(d) The Company covenants
that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of
issuance upon conversion of Notes as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights
of persons other than the holders of Notes, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of the
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Notes. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable
shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
(e) Upon a conversion hereunder
the Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may, if otherwise
permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the Conversion Price at such time.
(f) The issuance of certificates
for shares of Common Stock on conversion of Notes shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar
taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required
to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon
conversion in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates
unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or
shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
(g) Notes converted into Common Stock shall be canceled.
(h) Each Conversion Notice
shall be given by email or mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Controller of the Company of VG Life Sciences, Inc. located
121 Gray Avenue, Suite 200, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Any such notice shall be deemed given and effective upon the earliest to occur
of (i) receipt of such email at the email address specified in this Section 3(h), (ii) five days after deposit in the United
States mails or (iii) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
Section 4. Mandatory Conversion.
(a) In the event Holder has
not elected to convert all of the principal and interest remaining owing under this Note on or prior to two years after the date
of this note, the then outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest amount of this Note shall, without further action
by the Holder or the Company, be automatically converted in whole into that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company at
the Conversion Ratio on the Maturity Date (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”).
(b) Not later than ten (10)
Business Days after the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates containing
the restrictive legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being
acquired upon the mandatory conversion of this Note; provided, however that the Company shall not be obligated to issue
certificates evidencing the equity securities issuable upon conversion of this Note, until the Note is either delivered for conversion
to the Company or any transfer Holder of the Note or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the Company that the Note have been lost,
stolen or destroyed and provides a lost instrument indemnity or bond to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred
by it in connection therewith. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall comply with Sections 3(d) through (g)
with respect to any mandatory conversion and such sections are incorporated by reference herein.
Section 5. Payment of Principal and Redemption.
(a) In the event of an occurrence
of an Event of Default, then the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
Prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date this Note may not be prepaid.
(b) Nothing in this Section
5 shall impair the Holder’s right to convert this Note pursuant to Section 3 prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date.
Section 6. Definitions.
For the purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Business Day”
shall mean any day, except a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the State of California are authorized
or required by law to close.
“Conversion Ratio”
means, at any time, a fraction, of which the numerator is the outstanding principal amount represented by any Note plus accrued
but unpaid interest, and of which the denominator is the Conversion Price at such time.
“Original Issue Date”
means the date of the first issuance of this Note regardless of the number transfers hereof.
Section 7. Stockholder
Rights. This Note shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including without limitation,
the right to vote, to receive dividends and other distributions, or to receive any notice of, or to attend, meetings of stockholders
or any other proceedings of the Company, unless and to the extent converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the
terms hereof.
Section 8. Lost
Note. If this Note shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution
for and upon cancellation of a mutilated Note, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed debenture, a new
Note for the principal amount of this Note so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss,
theft or destruction of such Note, and of the ownership hereof, and indemnity or bond, if requested, all reasonably satisfactory
to the Company.
Section 9. Governing
Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect
to conflicts of laws thereof.

of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Company or the Holder
to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that
party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note. Any waiver must be in
writing.
Section 12. Severability.
If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if any
provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances.

EXHIBIT A

THIS CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
(“Note”) is issued as of November 5, 2014 (the “Original Issue Date”), by VG Life Sciences Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), in an aggregate principal amount of $22,296.97.
Terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings given in Section 6 below.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the
Company promises to pay to Wonderland Capital Corp., or registered assigns (the “Holder”), the principal sum of Twenty-Two
Thousand Two Hundred Ninety Six Dollars and Ninety Seven Cents ($22,296.97), on or before May 5, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”)
and to pay interest to the Holder on the principal sum, at the rate per annum of eight percent (8%). Interest shall accrue daily
commencing on the Original Issue Date until payment in full of the principal sum, together with all accrued and unpaid interest,
has been made or duly provided for. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest hereunder will be due
and payable at the Maturity Date, to the person in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company (the “Note
Register”). The principal of, and interest on, this Note are payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America
as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the address of the Holder last appearing
on the Note Register. A transfer of the right to receive principal and interest under this Note shall be transferable only through
an appropriate entry in the Note Register as provided herein.
This Note is subject to
the following additional provisions:
Section 1. Convertible
Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement. This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement
(the “Agreement”) between the Company and Holder dated as of November 5, 2014. This Note is subject to, and qualified
by, all the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.
Section 2. Events
of Default.
Section 2.1 Events
of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreement) has occurred then upon
the occurrence of any such Event of Default, the Holder may, by notice to the Company, declare the unpaid principal amount of
the Note to be, and the same shall forthwith become, due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of
any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Company, together with the interest accrued thereon and all other amounts payable
by the Company hereunder and pursue all of Holder’s rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and
all other remedies available to Holder under applicable law.
Section 3. Conversion.
(a) The outstanding principal and all
accrued and unpaid interest of this Note shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder, into shares of common stock of the
Company (“Common Stock”) at the Conversion Ratio, at the option of the Holder, on May 5, 2016. Any conversion under
this Section 3(a) shall be of a minimum amount of US $5,000 of Notes. The Holder shall effect conversions by surrendering
the Note to be converted to the Company, together with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion
Notice”) in the manner set forth in Section 3(h). Conversion Notice shall specify the principal amount of Note to
be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (the “Conversion Date”). Subject to Section
3(b), each Conversion Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable. If the Holder is converting less than all of the principal
amount represented by the Note tendered by the Holder with the Conversion Notice, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder
a new Note for such principal amount as has not been converted.
(b) Not later than ten (10) Business
Days after the Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates containing the restrictive
legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon
the conversion of the Note and (ii) the Note in principal amount equal to the principal amount of Note not converted; provided,
however that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the Note, until the Note is either delivered for conversion to the Company or any transfer Holder for the Note or Common Stock,
or the Holder notifies the Company that such Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides a lost instrument indemnity to
the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. If such certificate or certificates
are not delivered by the date required under this Section 3(b), the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Company
at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event
the Company shall immediately return the Note tendered for conversion.
(c) (i) The conversion price (“Conversion
Price”) for the Note in effect on any Conversion Date shall be $0.07, subject to adjustment as otherwise contemplated by
this Section 3(c).
(ii) In case of any Acquisition (as
defined below) of the Company, then Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert any principal and interest remaining owing
under this Note prior to the closing of any such Acquisition. At the election of Holder, Holder may convert this Note into the
shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such
Acquisition, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or property as the shares of
the Common Stock, into which the Note could have been converted immediately prior to such Acquisition, would have been entitled.
The terms of any such Acquisition shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive the securities
or property set forth in this Section 3(c) upon any conversion following such Acquisition. This provision shall similarly
apply to successive Acquisitions. “Acquisition” means (a) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the VGLS’s assets, (b) the consummation of the merger or consolidation of VGLS with or into another
entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of VGLS immediately prior to such merger or consolidation
continue to hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of VGLS or the surviving or acquiring entity),
or any transaction or series of transactions to which VGLS is a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of VGLS’s
voting power is transferred, or (c) the exclusive license of all or substantially all of the intellectual property of VGLS to a
third party.
(iii) The Conversion Price shall be
subject to adjustment as follows:
(A) In case the Company shall (i) pay
a dividend in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares
of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Note thereafter
surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to received the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have owned or have
been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had this Note been converted immediately prior
to the happening of such event. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any of the events listed above shall occur. An adjustment
made pursuant to this subdivision (A) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(B) If, at any time while
this Note is outstanding, the Company takes any voluntary action or any event occurs as to which the foregoing subdivisions are
not strictly applicable, but the failure to make an adjustment in the Conversion Price hereunder would not fairly protect the rights,
without dilution, represented by this Note, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so
that the Holder of this Note shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have owned or been
entitled to receive after the happening of any such action or event, had this Note been converted immediately prior to the happening
of any such action or event.
(d) The Company covenants that it will
at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon
conversion of the Note as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons
other than the holders of the Note, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of the aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Note. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall,
upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
(e) Upon a conversion hereunder the
Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may, if otherwise
permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the Conversion Price at such time.
(f) The issuance of certificates for
shares of Common Stock on conversion of the Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar
taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required
to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon
conversion in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates
unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or
shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
(g) The Note converted into Common Stock
shall be canceled.
(h) The Conversion Notice shall be given
by email or mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Controller of the Company of VG Life Sciences Inc. located 121 Gray Avenue,
Suite 200, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Any such notice shall be deemed given and effective upon the earliest to occur of (i) receipt
of such email at the email address specified in this Section 3(h), (ii) five days after deposit in the United States mails
or (iii) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
Section 4. Mandatory
Conversion.
(a) In the event Holder has not elected
to convert all of the principal and interest remaining owing under this Note on or prior to May 5, 2016, the then outstanding principal
and accrued and unpaid interest amount of this Note shall, without further action by the Holder or the Company, be automatically
converted in whole into that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company at the Conversion Ratio on the Maturity Date (the
“Mandatory Conversion Date”).
(b) Not later than ten (10) Business
Days after the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates containing the restrictive
legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon
the mandatory conversion of this Note; provided, however that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing
the equity securities issuable upon conversion of this Note, until the Note is either delivered for conversion to the Company or
any transfer Holder of the Note or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the Company that the Note have been lost, stolen or destroyed
and provides a lost instrument indemnity or bond to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection
therewith. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall comply with Sections 3(d) through (g) with respect to any
mandatory conversion and such sections are incorporated by reference herein.
Section 5. Payment
of Principal and Redemption.
(a) In the event of an
occurrence of an Event of Default, then the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full on the
Maturity Date. Prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date this Note may not be prepaid.

5 shall impair the Holder’s right to convert this Note pursuant to Section 3 prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK
Company: VG Life Sciences Inc.
Number of Shares: 89,188
Class of Stock: Common
Exercise Price Per Share: $0.53
Issue Date: Date Proceeds Received in Full
THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES
THAT, for the agreed upon value of $1.00 and for other good and valuable consideration, Wonderland Capital Corp., a New York corporation
(“Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the class of securities (the
“Shares”) of VG Life Sciences Inc. (the “Company” or “VGLS”) at the initial exercise price
per Share (the “Warrant Price”) all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this Warrant, subject
to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth of this Warrant.
ARTICLE 1. EXERCISE
1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder
may exercise this Warrant by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to
the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 1.2, Holders shall also
deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.
1.2 Conversion Right. In lieu
of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part,
into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Warrant Price of such Shares by (b) the fair market value of one Share.
The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant Section 1.4.
1.3 No Rights Shareholder. This
Warrant does not entitle Holder to any voting rights as a shareholder of the company prior to the exercise hereof.
1.4 Fair Market Value. For purposes
of Section 1.2, if the Shares are traded in a public market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of
the Shares (or the closing price of the Company’s stock into which the Shares are convertible) reported for the business
day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not traded in a public market,
the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment. The foregoing notwithstanding,
if Holder advises the Board of Directors in writing that Holder disagrees with such determination, then the Company and Holder
shall promptly agree upon a reputable investment banking or public accounting firm to undertake such valuation. If the valuation
of such investment banking firm is greater than that determined by the Board of Directors, then all fees and expenses of such investment
banking firm shall be paid by the company. In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be paid by Holder.
1.5 Delivery of Certificate and New
Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises or converts this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the
Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised or converted and has not been fully exercised or converted and
has not expired, a new Warrant representing the Shares not so acquired.
1.6 Replacement of Warrants.
On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and,
in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to
the Company or, in the case of mutilation, or surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute
and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.
1.7 Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or
Consolidation of the Company
1.7.1 “Acquisition”
For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means (a) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the VGLS’s assets, (b) the consummation of the merger or consolidation of VGLS with or into another
entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of VGLS immediately prior to such merger or consolidation
continue to hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of VGLS or the surviving or acquiring entity),
or any transaction or series of transactions to which VGLS is a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of VGLS’s
voting power is transferred, or (c) the exclusive license of all or substantially all of the intellectual property of VGLS to a
third party.
1.7.2 Assumption of Warrant.
Upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall be
exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised
portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant
Price shall be adjusted accordingly.
1.7.3 Purchase Right. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, at the election of Holder, the Company shall purchase the unexercised portion of this Warrant for cash upon the
closing of any Acquisition for an amount equal to (a) the fair market value of any consideration that would have been received
by Holder in consideration of the Shares had Holder exercised the unexercised portion of this Warrant immediately before the record
date for determining the shareholders entitled to participate in the proceeds of the Acquisition, less (b) the aggregate Warrant
Price of the Shares, but in no event less than zero.
ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.
2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc.
If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its common stock ( or the Shares if the Shares are securities other than common stock
) payable in common stock, or other securities, subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common stock,
or, if the Shares are securities other than common stock, subdivides the Shares in a transaction that increases the amount of common
stock into which the Shares are convertible, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive,
without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares
of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or
Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or
class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise
or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the shares if
this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event
shall include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as
the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation upon the closing of a registered
public offering of the Company’s common stock. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant
for such new securities or other property. The new adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments
to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this
Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.
2.3 Adjustments for Combinations,
Etc. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares,
the Warrant price shall be proportionately increased.
2.4 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances.
The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time
in the manner set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to issuance of securities for a price
lower than certain prices specified in the Certificate of Incorporation.
2.5 No Impairment. The Company
shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of
any of the terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in
carrying out of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect
Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment. If the Company takes any action affecting the Shares or its common
stock other than as described above that adversely affects Holder’s rights under this Warrant, the Warrant Price shall be
adjusted downward and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that
the aggregate Warrant price of this Warrant is unchanged.
2.6 Fractional Shares. No fractional
Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down
to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Warrant, the Company shall
eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market
value of a full Share.
2.7 Certificate as to Adjustments.
Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder
with a certificate of its Chief Financial officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based.
The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant price in effect upon the date thereof
and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.
ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS
OF THE COMPANY.
3.1 Representations and Warranties.
The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase
right represented by this Warrant and all securities, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall, upon issuance, be

and payable at the Maturity Date, to the person in whose name this Note is registered on the records of the Company (the “Note
Register”). The principal of, and interest on, this Note are payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America
as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the address of the Holder last appearing
on the Note Register. A transfer of the right to receive principal and interest under this Note shall be transferable only through
an appropriate entry in the Note Register as provided herein.
This Note is subject to
the following additional provisions:
Section 1. Convertible
Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement. This Note is issued pursuant to that certain Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement
(the “Agreement”) between the Company and Holder dated as of November 5, 2014. This Note is subject to, and qualified
by, all the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.
Section 2. Events
of Default.
Section 2.1 Events
of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreement) has occurred then upon
the occurrence of any such Event of Default, the Holder may, by notice to the Company, declare the unpaid principal amount of
the Note to be, and the same shall forthwith become, due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of
any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Company, together with the interest accrued thereon and all other amounts payable
by the Company hereunder and pursue all of Holder’s rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and
all other remedies available to Holder under applicable law.
Section 3. Conversion.
(a) The outstanding principal and all
accrued and unpaid interest of this Note shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder, into shares of common stock of the
Company (“Common Stock”) at the Conversion Ratio, at the option of the Holder, on May 5, 2016. Any conversion under
this Section 3(a) shall be of a minimum amount of US $5,000 of Notes. The Holder shall effect conversions by surrendering
the Note to be converted to the Company, together with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion
Notice”) in the manner set forth in Section 3(h). Conversion Notice shall specify the principal amount of Note to
be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected (the “Conversion Date”). Subject to Section
3(b), each Conversion Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable. If the Holder is converting less than all of the principal
amount represented by the Note tendered by the Holder with the Conversion Notice, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder
a new Note for such principal amount as has not been converted.
(b) Not later than ten (10) Business
Days after the Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder (i) a certificate or certificates containing the restrictive
legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon
the conversion of the Note and (ii) the Note in principal amount equal to the principal amount of Note not converted; provided,
however that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the Note, until the Note is either delivered for conversion to the Company or any transfer Holder for the Note or Common Stock,
or the Holder notifies the Company that such Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides a lost instrument indemnity to
the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith. If such certificate or certificates
are not delivered by the date required under this Section 3(b), the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Company
at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event
the Company shall immediately return the Note tendered for conversion.
(c) (i) The conversion price (“Conversion
Price”) for the Note in effect on any Conversion Date shall be $0.07, subject to adjustment as otherwise contemplated by
this Section 3(c).
(ii) In case of any Acquisition (as
defined below) of the Company, then Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert any principal and interest remaining owing
under this Note prior to the closing of any such Acquisition. At the election of Holder, Holder may convert this Note into the
shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such
Acquisition, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or property as the shares of
the Common Stock, into which the Note could have been converted immediately prior to such Acquisition, would have been entitled.
The terms of any such Acquisition shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive the securities
or property set forth in this Section 3(c) upon any conversion following such Acquisition. This provision shall similarly
apply to successive Acquisitions. “Acquisition” means (a) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the VGLS’s assets, (b) the consummation of the merger or consolidation of VGLS with or into another
entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of VGLS immediately prior to such merger or consolidation
continue to hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the capital stock of VGLS or the surviving or acquiring entity),
or any transaction or series of transactions to which VGLS is a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of VGLS’s
voting power is transferred, or (c) the exclusive license of all or substantially all of the intellectual property of VGLS to a
third party.
(iii) The Conversion Price shall be
subject to adjustment as follows:
(A) In case the Company shall (i) pay
a dividend in shares of its capital stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its shares of Common Stock any shares
of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Note thereafter
surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to received the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have owned or have
been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had this Note been converted immediately prior
to the happening of such event. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any of the events listed above shall occur. An adjustment
made pursuant to this subdivision (A) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend
and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
(B) If, at any time while
this Note is outstanding, the Company takes any voluntary action or any event occurs as to which the foregoing subdivisions are
not strictly applicable, but the failure to make an adjustment in the Conversion Price hereunder would not fairly protect the rights,
without dilution, represented by this Note, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so
that the Holder of this Note shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have owned or been
entitled to receive after the happening of any such action or event, had this Note been converted immediately prior to the happening
of any such action or event.
(d) The Company covenants that it will
at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon
conversion of the Note as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons
other than the holders of the Note, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of the aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Note. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall,
upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.
(e) Upon a conversion hereunder the
Company shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may, if otherwise
permitted, make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the Conversion Price at such time.
(f) The issuance of certificates for
shares of Common Stock on conversion of the Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar
taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Company shall not be required
to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon
conversion in a name other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates
unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or
shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
(g) The Note converted into Common Stock
shall be canceled.
(h) The Conversion Notice shall be given
by email or mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Controller of the Company of VG Life Sciences Inc. located 121 Gray Avenue,
Suite 200, Santa Barbara, CA 93101. Any such notice shall be deemed given and effective upon the earliest to occur of (i) receipt
of such email at the email address specified in this Section 3(h), (ii) five days after deposit in the United States mails
or (iii) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
Section 4. Mandatory
Conversion.
(a) In the event Holder has not elected
to convert all of the principal and interest remaining owing under this Note on or prior to May 5, 2016, the then outstanding principal
and accrued and unpaid interest amount of this Note shall, without further action by the Holder or the Company, be automatically
converted in whole into that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company at the Conversion Ratio on the Maturity Date (the
“Mandatory Conversion Date”).
(b) Not later than ten (10) Business
Days after the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Company will deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates containing the restrictive
legends and trading restrictions required by law, if any, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon
the mandatory conversion of this Note; provided, however that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing
the equity securities issuable upon conversion of this Note, until the Note is either delivered for conversion to the Company or
any transfer Holder of the Note or Common Stock, or the Holder notifies the Company that the Note have been lost, stolen or destroyed
and provides a lost instrument indemnity or bond to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection
therewith. The Company covenants and agrees that it shall comply with Sections 3(d) through (g) with respect to any
mandatory conversion and such sections are incorporated by reference herein.
Section 5. Payment
of Principal and Redemption.
(a) In the event of an
occurrence of an Event of Default, then the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full on the
Maturity Date. Prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date this Note may not be prepaid.
(b) Nothing in this Section
5 shall impair the Holder’s right to convert this Note pursuant to Section 3 prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date.
Section 6. Definitions.
For the purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Business Day”
shall mean any day, except a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the State of California are authorized
or required by law to close.
“Conversion Ratio”
means, at any time, a fraction, of which the numerator is the outstanding principal amount represented by any Note plus accrued
but unpaid interest, and of which the denominator is the Conversion Price at such time.
“Original Issue Date”
means the date of the first issuance of this Note regardless of the number transfers hereof.
Section 7. Stockholder
Rights. This Note shall not entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including without limitation,
the right to vote, to receive dividends and other distributions, or to receive any notice of, or to attend, meetings of stockholders
or any other proceedings of the Company, unless and to the extent converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the
terms hereof.

Section 9. Governing

a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of the Company
or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver
or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note. Any
waiver must be in writing.
Section 12. Severability.
If any provision of this Note is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Note shall remain in effect, and if

VG LIFE SCIENCES INC.
UNSECURED REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE
Effective Date: April 13, 2015
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, VG Life Sciences
Inc., whose address is 121 Gray Avenue, Suite 200, Santa Barbara, CA 93101-1800, (“Borrower”),
promises to pay to or to the order of MedBridge Development Company, LLC, whose address is 121 Gray
Avenue, Suite 200, Santa Barbara, CA 93101-1800, (“Lender”), and
its successors and assigns, in lawful money of the United States of America, those amounts that are unpaid, due and payable to
Lender pursuant to this unlimited Unsecured Revolving Credit Note (the “Note”). No additional amounts may be tendered
hereunder except for amounts due under this Note. The amount that may be borrowed by Borrower from Lender pursuant to this Note
is not limited. This Note and all schedules and exhibits attached thereto are hereinafter referred to as the Transaction Documents.
| 1. | Payment and Advance Terms. |
| (a) | Payment and Advance Terms. Borrower shall pay to Lender the
entire principal balance under this Note on or before April 15, 2018 (the “Maturity Date”). Borrower shall pay all
amounts due under this Note in lawful money of the United States of America and without set-off, deduction, demand or notice. On
or before the Maturity date, from time to time Lender may offer, and Borrower may accept, advances in cash, in kind, via tender
of other debts of Borrower held by Lender, or other form. Any advances shall be added to the then outstanding principal hereunder
and interest shall accrue on such advances from the date they are received by Borrower. |
| (b) | Exchange of Loan Obligation. All or any portion of the then
outstanding principal of this Note (“Exchanged Amount”) may be exchanged for shares of Borrower’s common stock
(“Shares”) at the election of the Lender at any time prior to the Maturity Date by giving written notice in the form
attached as Annex A. In exchange for each $1 of the Exchanged Amount so exchanged, Lender shall receive a number of Shares equal
to the Exchanged Amount divided by the Exchange Price. The Exchange Price shall be equal to the volume-weighted average closing
price of the Borrower’s common stock for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the date of notice by Lender (the “Exchange
Date”) as reported on the NASD OTCBB, Pinksheets, or other market where Borrower’s common stock is then quoted for
trading, provided that in the event no such quoted market exists, the Exchange Price shall be determined according to an independent
appraisal ratified by the disinterested members of the Borrower’s board of directors, or if there are no disinterested members
then the board acting unanimously. An election made by the Lender to exchange amounts owed hereunder for Shares cannot be revoked
by Lender without the written consent of Borrower. The Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Lender the Shares within 5 business
days of receiving notice from Lender. Should such Notice of Conversion represent all of the remaining obligations due hereunder,
Lender shall deliver to Borrower the original Note marked “paid in full.” |
| (c) | Mandatory Conversion. Any unpaid principal due hereunder upon
the Maturity Date shall automatically be exchanged for Shares upon the terms described in Section 1(b) above using the Maturity
Date as the Exchange Date, without requiring the additional consent of Lender or Borrower. |
(d)
Warrant. Upon payment of all Principal and other amounts that may be owing under this Note, including mandatory
conversion at Maturity Date under Section 1(c), Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Warrant in a form substantially similar to
the attached Exhibit B.
| 2. | Interest. All unpaid principle
balances under this Note shall bear interest (the “Interest Rate”) at a rate equal to five-percent (5%) per
annum. Interest shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) on
the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year. Interest shall be payable on the Maturity Date. |
| 3.
| Application of Payments. Payments will be applied first to
any costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of amounts owing
pursuant to this Note, and then to reduction of principal. All payments shall be made to Lender at the above-specified address
until receipt of notice from Lender to the contrary. |
| 4.
| Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Lender shall be entitled to receive, and Borrower shall pay to Lender, interest on the outstanding principal balance and any other
advances or charges advanced by Lender at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (a) twelve percent (12%), or (b) the maximum
interest rate which Borrower may by law pay (the “Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall be computed from the
occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of the date upon which the Event of Default is cured or the date upon which
due and owing under this Note are paid in full. The preceding sentence, however, shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege
to extend the date of the any payment due hereunder, or as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of
the occurrence of any Event of Default. |
| 5. | Prepayment. Borrower shall have
the right to prepay this Note in whole or in part by providing 30 calendar days advance written notice to Lender. During this period
and until the end of the 30 day notice period, Lender may at its sole discretion elect to exercise the exchange rights provided
for in Section 1 (b) herein. |
|
6. | Security Interest. This Note is unsecured. |
| 7. | Default. Any one of the following occurrences shall constitute
an “Event of Default” under this Unsecured Revolving Credit Note provided that Lender shall be required to give
written notice of same: |
| (a) | The failure of Borrower to repay all outstanding principal or accrued
interest on or before the Maturity Date; |
| (b) | The failure of Borrower to promptly perform any obligation of Borrower
under or the existence of an Event of Default as defined in any Transaction Document within thirty (30) days of notice from Lender;
or |
| (c) | Borrower becomes insolvent, bankrupt or generally fails to pay its
debts as such debts become due; is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt; admits in writing its inability to pay its debts; or shall
suffer a custodian, receiver or trustee for it or substantially all of its property to be appointed and if appointed without its
consent, not be discharged within sixty (60) consecutive days; makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or suffers proceedings
under any law related to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or the reorganization, readjustment or the release of debtors to be
instituted against it and if contested by it not dismissed or stayed within sixty (60) consecutive days; if proceedings under any
law related to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, or the reorganization, readjustment or the release of debtors is instituted
or commenced by or against Borrower; if any order for relief is entered relating to any of the foregoing proceedings; if Borrower
shall call a meeting of its creditors with a view to arranging a composition or adjustment of its debts; or if Borrower shall by
any act or failure to act indicate its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any of the foregoing. |
| 8. | Remedies. Upon the happening and during the continuation of
any Event of Default, (i) Lender may, at its sole option, declare the entire principal immediately due and payable in full; (ii)
interest shall accrue on all amounts due hereunder at the Default Rate until paid in full or such Event of Default is cured; and
(iii) Lender shall have and may exercise any and all rights and remedies available hereunder, at law and in equity, together with
any and all rights and remedies provided in any Transaction Document. The acceptance of any installment
or payment after the occurrence of an Event of Default or event giving rise to the right of acceleration provided for herein shall
not constitute a waiver of such right of acceleration with respect to such Event of Default or event or any subsequent Event of
Default. The remedies of Lender, as provided herein or in any Transaction Document, shall be cumulative and concurrent,
and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as often as occasion
therefore shall arise. Any act, omission or commission of Lender, including, specifically, any failure to exercise any right, remedy
or recourse, shall be released and be effected only through a written document executed by Lender and then only to the extent specifically
recited therein. A waiver or release with reference to any one event shall not be construed as continuing, as a bar to, or as a
waiver or release of, any subsequent right, remedy or recourse as to a subsequent event. |
| 9. | Collection Costs. If one or more Events of Default (or any
event which with notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default) hereunder shall occur and continues, Borrower
promises to pay all collection costs, including but not limited to all reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and expenses of
every kind, incurred by Lender in connection with such collection or the protection or enforcement of any or all of the security
for this Note, whether or not any lawsuit is filed with respect thereto (including costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees on
any appeals or in any bankruptcy proceedings). |
| (a) | Successors and Assigns. This Note inures to the benefit of
Lender and its successors or assigns, and binds Borrower, and its respective permitted successors and assigns, and the words “Lender”
and “Borrower” whenever occurring herein shall be deemed and construed to include such respective successors and assigns. |
| (b) | Severability. Any term or provision of this Note that is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any situation or in any jurisdiction
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions or the validity or enforceability of the
invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority declares that any term or provision of this Note is invalid, void or unenforceable,
the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to and shall, subject to the discretion of such
court, reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace
any invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest
to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. |
| (c) | Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby
waives all valuation and appraisement privileges, presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice of protest and nonpayment,
dishonor and notice of dishonor, bringing of suit, lack of diligence or delays in collection or enforcement of this Note and notice
of the intention to accelerate, the release of any liable party, the release of any security for the indebtedness evidenced hereby,
and any other indulgence or forbearance, and is and shall be directly and primarily liable for the amount of all sums owing and
to be owed hereon, and agrees that this Note and any or all payments coming due hereunder may be extended or renewed from time
to time without in any way affecting or diminishing Borrower's liability hereunder. |

hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered (a) by personal delivery, with receipt acknowledged; (b) by
telecopier or electronic mail (with original copy to follow as set forth herein); (c) by reputable overnight commercial courier
service; or (d) by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the parties at the
addresses as set forth at the first of this Note (subject to the right of a party to designate a different address for itself by
notice similarly given). Whenever the giving of notice is required, the giving of such notice may be waived in writing by the party
entitled to receive such notice. |
| (e) | Entire Agreement. This Note (together with the Transaction
Documents) contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. |
| (f) | Modification of Agreement. This Note may not be modified,
altered or amended, except by an agreement in writing signed by both Borrower and Lender. |

all technical and procedural errors, defects and imperfections whatsoever in enforcing the remedies available to Lender upon a
default by Borrower hereunder. |

reserved to Lender is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies available to Lender under this Note, at law, in
equity or by statute, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy given hereunder
or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute. |
| (i) | Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed
under the laws of the State of California without giving effect to the choice of law provisions thereof. |

this Warrant as specified in Section 1.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number
of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate fair market value of the Shares or other securities otherwise issuable upon

Shares (or the closing price of the Company’s stock into which the Shares are convertible) reported for the business day
immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not traded in a public market, the
Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment. The foregoing notwithstanding,
if Holder advises the Board of Directors in writing that Holder disagrees with such determination, then the Company and Holder
shall promptly agree upon a reputable investment banking or public accounting firm to undertake such valuation. If the valuation

and expenses shall be paid by Holder.
1.5 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant.

portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant
Price shall be adjusted accordingly.
1.7.3 Purchase Right. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, at the election of Holder, the Company shall purchase the unexercised portion of this Warrant for cash upon the

amount of common stock into which the Shares are convertible, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired,
Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been
entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution.
Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities
issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this
Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the shares if this Warrant had been
exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event shall include any automatic
conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant
to the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation upon the closing of a registered public offering of the Company’s
common stock. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property.

2.4 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances.

in the manner set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to issuance of securities for a price
lower than certain prices specified in the Certificate of Incorporation.
2.5 No Impairment. The Company shall
not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the
terms to be observed or performed under this Warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out
of all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s
rights under this Article against impairment. If the Company takes any action affecting the Shares or its common stock other than
as described above that adversely affects Holder’s rights under this Warrant, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted downward
and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted upward in such a manner that the aggregate Warrant
price of this Warrant is unchanged.
2.6 Fractional Shares. No fractional
Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down
to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest
by paying Holder amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.
2.7 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon
each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with
a certificate of its Chief Financial officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The
Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant price in effect upon the date thereof
and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.
ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
3.1 Representations and Warranties. The
Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holder that all Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase right
represented by this Warrant and all securities, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized,

Exhibit 14.1
VG Life Sciences Inc.
Code of Ethics
In accordance with the requirements of
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Board of Directors of VG Life Sciences Inc. (with its subsidiaries, the “Company”)
has adopted this Code of Ethics (this “Code”) in order to:
| · | encourage honest and ethical conduct,
including fair dealing and the ethical handling of conflicts of interest; |
| · | encourage full, fair, accurate, timely
and understandable disclosure; |
| · | encourage compliance with applicable laws
and governmental rules and regulations; |
| · | ensure the protection of the Company's
legitimate business interests, including corporate opportunities, assets and confidential information; |
| · | ensure accountability for adherence to
the Code. |
All directors, officers and employees
of the Company are required to be familiar with the Code, comply with its provisions and report any suspected violations as described
below in Section 6, Reporting and Accountability.
This Code covers a wide range of business
practices and procedures. It does not cover every issue that may arise, but it sets out basic principles to guide all employees,
officers and directors of the Company. All such persons must conduct themselves accordingly and seek to avoid even the appearance
of improper behavior. Those who violate the standards in this Code or who fail to cooperate with management directions given to
effect compliance with this Code may be subject to disciplinary action, possibly including termination of employment. For guidance
with respect to issues not addressed in this Code, employees should follow the Company’s internal policies and procedures.
If you have any questions regarding this
Code, you should address these questions to your supervisor, or to the general counsel or other person identified by the Company
as its compliance officer (the “Compliance Officer”). The Code is enforced by the General Counsel where the suspected
violation involves a person who is not a director or officer. The audit committee, or, if there is no audit or another independent
committee, the Board of Directors enforces any suspected violations involving a director or officer.
1. Honest and Ethical Conduct
Each director, officer and employee owes
a duty to the Company to act with integrity. Integrity requires, among other things, being honest and ethical. This includes the
ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships. Deceit and subordination
of principle are inconsistent with integrity.
Each director, officer and employee must:
| · | Act with integrity, including being honest
and ethical while still maintaining the confidentiality of information where required or consistent with the Company’s policies. |
| · | Observe both the form and spirit of laws
and governmental rules and regulations and accounting standards. |
| · | Adhere to a high standard of business
ethics. |
| · | Accept no improper or undisclosed material
personal benefits from third parties as a result of any transaction or transactions of the Company. |
2. Conflicts of Interest
A “conflict of interest”
arises when a person’s loyalties or actions are divided between the interests of the Company and those of another, such as
a competitor, supplier or customer, or personal business. A conflict of interest can arise when an employee takes actions or has
interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. A conflict of interest may also arise
when an individual, or members of his or her family, receives an improper personal benefit as a result of his or her position in,
or relationship with, the Company. Moreover, the appearance of a conflict of interest alone can adversely affect the Company and
its relations with business partners, customers, suppliers and employees.
Employees are expected to use good judgment,
to adhere to high ethical standards and to avoid situations that create an actual or potential conflict of interest. It is almost
always a conflict of interest for employees to work simultaneously for a competitor, customer or supplier. In this regard, Company
personnel shall not have any undisclosed financial interest in any competitor, supplier, customer, or strategic partner if that
interest would create a conflict of interest with the Company. If there is such an interest, the employee should disclose the nature
of the interest to the human resources department or the general counsel, as appropriate; provided, however, that employees may
maintain small investments in publicly held companies in which an employee has no influence or control.
A conflict of interest can also arise
with respect to employment of relatives and persons with close personal relationships. If a director, officer or employee (or someone
with whom the person has a close relationship (e.g., a family member or close companion) has a financial or employment relationship
with an actual or potential competitor, supplier or customer, the director, officer or employee must disclose this fact in writing
to the Compliance Officer. The Company may take any action that it deems necessary in its sole discretion to avoid or remedy an
actual, prospective or perceived conflict of interest, including a reassignment of some or all of the employee’s duties or
change of the employee’s position.
Loans by the Company to, or guarantees
by the Company of obligations of, employees or their family members are of special concern and could constitute improper personal
benefits to the recipients of such loans or guarantees, depending on the facts and circumstances. Loans by the Company to, or guarantees
by the Company of obligations of, any director or officer (or their family members) are expressly prohibited unless approved by
the Board of Directors.
A conflict of interest may not always
be clear; therefore, you should consult with the Compliance Officer if you have any questions. Any employee who becomes aware of
a conflict or a potential conflict should bring it to the attention of the Compliance Officer.
3. Disclosure
Each director, officer and employee,
to the extent involved in the Company’s disclosure process, including the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer,
and the Controller (the “Senior Financial Officers”) and the General Counsel, is required to be familiar with the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures applicable to him or her so that the Company’s public reports and documents filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) comply in all material respects with the applicable federal securities
laws and SEC rules. In addition, each such person having direct or supervisory authority regarding these SEC filings or the Company’s
other public communications concerning its general business, results, financial condition and prospects should, to the extent appropriate
within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other Company officers and employees and take other appropriate steps regarding
these disclosures with the goal of making full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure.
Each director, officer and employee,
to the extent involved in the Company’s disclosure process, including without limitation the Senior Financial Officers and
the General Counsel, must:
| · | Familiarize himself or herself with the
disclosure requirements applicable to the Company as well as the business and financial operations of the Company. |
| · | Not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others
to misrepresent, facts about the Company to others, whether within or outside the Company, including to the Company's independent
auditors, governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations. |
4. Compliance
It
is the Company’s policy to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. It is the personal responsibility of each
employee, officer and director to adhere to the standards and restrictions imposed by those laws, rules and regulations in the
performance of their duties for the Company, including those relating to accounting and auditing matters and insider trading.
Other policies issued by the Company also provide guidance as to certain
of the laws, rules and regulations that apply to the Company’s activities.
5. Insider Trading
Generally, it is against Company policy
for any individual to profit from undisclosed information relating to the Company or any other company in violation of insider
trading or other laws. Inside information is any material, non-public information a reasonable investor is likely to consider important
when making an investment decision. Anyone who is aware of material non-public information relating to the Company, our business
partners, or other companies may not use the information to trade directly or indirectly or tip others to trade in stock or other
securities of that company in violation of the federal securities laws.
If you are uncertain about the legal
rules involving your purchase or sale of any Company securities or any securities in companies that you are familiar with by virtue
of your work for the Company, you should consult with the Compliance Officer before making any such purchase or sale. You should
also consult the Company’s Insider Trading Policy which applies to all directors, officers and employees as well as consultants
and independent contractors of the Company and is hereby incorporated by reference.
6. Reporting and Accountability
The Board of Directors has the authority
to interpret this Code in any particular situation. Any director, officer or employee who becomes aware of any violation of this
Code is required to notify the audit committee, if there is one or if not, the full Board or the Compliance Officer promptly.
Any questions relating to how these policies
should be interpreted or applied should be addressed to the Compliance Officer or the audit committee or Board, as applicable.
Any material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest, as discussed
in Section 2 of this Code, should be discussed with the Compliance Officer or the audit committee or Board, as applicable. A director,
officer or employee who is unsure of whether a situation violates this Code should discuss the situation with the Compliance Officer
or the audit committee, if there is one or if not, the full Board, as applicable.
Each director, officer or employee must:
| · | Notify the appropriate contact promptly
of any existing or potential violation of this Code. |
| · | Not retaliate against any other director,
officer or employee for reports of potential violations. |
The Company will follow the following
procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code and in reporting on the Code:
| · | The Compliance Officer, the audit committee,
if there is one or if not, the full Board, as the case may be, will take all appropriate action to investigate any violations reported.
In addition, the audit committee, Board or the Compliance Officer, as appropriate, shall report each violation and alleged violation
involving a director or an executive officer to the Chairperson of the Board. To the extent he or she deems appropriate, the Chairperson
of the Board shall participate in any investigation of a director or executive officer. After the conclusion of an investigation
of a director or executive officer, the conclusions shall be reported to the entire Board. |
| · | The Board will conduct such additional
investigation as it deems necessary. If the Board determines that a director or executive officer has violated this Code, it will
take such disciplinary or preventive action as deemed appropriate, up to and including dismissal or, in the event of criminal or
other serious violations of law, notification of the SEC or other appropriate law enforcement authorities. |
From time to time, the Company may waive
provisions of this Code. Any employee or director who believes that a waiver may be called for should discuss the matter with the
Compliance Officer, the audit committee, if there is one or if not, the full Board. Any waiver of the Code for executive officers
(including Senior Financial Officers) or directors of the Company may be made only by the Board of Directors or a committee of
the Board if appropriate, and must be promptly disclosed.
7. Corporate Opportunities
Employees, officers and directors are
prohibited from taking (or directing to a third party) a business opportunity that is discovered through the use of corporate property,
information or position, unless the Company has already been offered the opportunity and turned it down. More generally, employees,
officers and directors are prohibited from using corporate property, information or position for personal gain and from competing
with the Company.
Sometimes the line between personal and
Company benefits is difficult to draw, and sometimes there are both personal and Company benefits in certain activities. Employees,
officers and directors who intend to make use of Company property or services in a manner not solely for the benefit of the Company
should consult beforehand with the Compliance Officer, the audit committee or the Board.
8. Confidentiality
In carrying out the Company’s business,
employees, officers and directors often learn confidential or proprietary information about the Company, its customers, suppliers,
or joint venture parties. Employees, officers and directors must maintain the confidentiality of all information so entrusted to
them, except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated. Confidential or proprietary information of our Company, and of
other companies, includes any non-public information that would be harmful to the relevant company or useful or helpful to competitors
if disclosed.
9. Fair Dealing
We seek to succeed through honest business
competition. We do not seek competitive advantages through illegal or unethical business practices. Each employee, officer and
director should endeavor to deal fairly with the Company’s customers, consultants, service providers, suppliers, competitors
and employees. No employee, officer or director should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse
of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any unfair dealing practice.
10. Protection and Proper Use of Company
Assets
All employees, officers and directors
should protect the Company’s assets and ensure their efficient use. All Company assets should be used only for legitimate
business purposes.
11. Donations, Gifts, Payments to
Customers and Physicians
The U.S. and most other countries have
laws and regulations that govern the Company’s provision of donations, gifts, or payments to customers or physicians. The
Company’s policy is that its employees will comply with all such laws and regulations. Any such donations, gifts, or payments
to physicians or teaching hospitals (whether directly or indirectly) must be reported and approved by to the Compliance Officer
in writing, identifying the physician or hospital, the date of the transfer, the form, nature and amount of the contribution, to
enable the Company to comply with its reporting requirements. The Company will not pay or otherwise remunerate a physician, consultant
or customer in exchange for ordering, prescribing, purchasing, or recommending the Company’s products. All business courtesies
such as meals, transportation, and entertainment provided to a physician or customer must be modest in amount and related to a
legitimate business purpose. Donations to consultants or organizations closely affiliated with consultants shall entail a benefit
to society and be made to promote better health care, demonstrate good corporate leadership, or serve a genuine educational function.
The Company may enter into legitimate agreements to compensate consultants and physicians for consulting, research, or other services
rendered, and reasonable costs incurred, where the services have value to the Company and are provided for fair market value. All
such agreements must be in writing.
12. Payments to Government Personnel
The United States Foreign Corrupt Practices
Act prohibits giving anything of value, directly or indirectly, to officials of foreign governments or foreign political candidates
in order to obtain or retain business. It is strictly prohibited to make illegal payments to government officials of any country.
In addition, the United States government
has a number of laws and regulations regarding business gratuities which may be accepted by U.S. government personnel. The promise,
offer or delivery to an official or employee of the U.S. government of a gift, favor, or other gratuity in violation of these
rules would not only violate Company policy but could also be a criminal offense. State and local governments, as well as foreign
governments, may have similar rules. It is the Company’s policy to not provide any gifts, favors or gratuities to any government
official.
