<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">On May 31, 2018, Accelerize Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) borrowed an aggregate of $1,500,000 (the &ldquo;Borrowings&rdquo;) from eight lenders (the &ldquo;Lenders&rdquo;) and issued promissory notes for the repayment of the amounts borrowed. The Lenders are all accredited investors and shareholders of the Company, and one of the Lenders is an affiliate of the Company&rsquo;s director, Greg Akselrud. The promissory notes are unsecured, have a maturity date of May 30, 2021 and all principal is due upon maturity. Amounts borrowed accrue interest at 12% per annum and accrued interest is payable monthly. In the event the Company prepays the promissory notes prior to the end of two years, at prepayment the Lender will be paid the difference between accrued interest already paid and the amount of accrued interest payable for two years on the amount borrowed. The Company must repay the promissory notes within 30 days of retiring or refinancing all of its outstanding secured subordinated debt. The Company also issued to the Lenders six-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,250,000 shares of the Company&rsquo;s common stock exercisable for cash at an exercise price of $0.35 per share. The warrants were issued under the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &ldquo;Securities Act&rdquo;), as not involving a public offering. The descriptions of the promissory notes and the warrants are not complete and each is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of promissory note or form of warrant, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">Also on May 31, 2018, the Company entered into a first amending agreement (the &ldquo;Beedie Amendment&rdquo;) of the credit agreement dated as of January 25, 2018 with Beedie Investments Limited (&ldquo;Beedie&rdquo;) to permit the Borrowings, to amend the Company&rsquo;s adjusted EBITDA, revenue renewal and total debt to monthly recurring revenue covenants, and to add a secured debt to monthly recurring revenue covenant. In addition, the Company issued to Beedie a warrant (the &ldquo;Beedie Warrant&rdquo;) to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company&#39;s common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share subject to certain adjustments for dividends, splits or reclassifications, and a weighted average adjustment for certain issuances of common stock below the exercise price prior to January 25, 2019.

On May 31, 2018, Accelerize Inc. (the "Company") borrowed an aggregate of $1,500,000 (the "Borrowings") from eight lenders (the "Lenders") and issued promissory notes for the repayment of the amounts borrowed. The Lenders are all accredited investors and shareholders of the Company, and one of the Lenders is an affiliate of the Company's director, Greg Akselrud. The promissory notes are unsecured, have a maturity date of May 30, 2021 and all principal is due upon maturity. Amounts borrowed accrue interest at 12% per annum and accrued interest is payable monthly. In the event the Company prepays the promissory notes prior to the end of two years, at prepayment the Lender will be paid the difference between accrued interest already paid and the amount of accrued interest payable for two years on the amount borrowed. The Company must repay the promissory notes within 30 days of retiring or refinancing all of its outstanding secured subordinated debt. The Company also issued to the Lenders six-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,250,000 shares of the Company's common stock exercisable for cash at an exercise price of $0.35 per share. The warrants were issued under the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), as not involving a public offering. The descriptions of the promissory notes and the warrants are not complete and each is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of promissory note or form of warrant, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Also on May 31, 2018, the Company entered into a seventh amendment (the "SaaS Amendment") of the loan and security agreement dated as of May 5, 2016 with SaaS Capital Funding II, LLC to permit the Borrowings, to amend the Company's adjusted EBITDA, revenue renewal and total debt to monthly recurring revenue covenants, to increase the success fee payable upon repayment of the facility by $120,000 to $495,000, and to fix prepayment penalties until October 31, 2018. The description of the SaaS Amendment is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the SaaS Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Also on May 31, 2018, the Company entered into a first amending agreement (the "Beedie Amendment") of the credit agreement dated as of January 25, 2018 with Beedie Investments Limited ("Beedie") to permit the Borrowings, to amend the Company's adjusted EBITDA, revenue renewal and total debt to monthly recurring revenue covenants, and to add a secured debt to monthly recurring revenue covenant. In addition, the Company issued to Beedie a warrant (the "Beedie Warrant") to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share subject to certain adjustments for dividends, splits or reclassifications, and a weighted average adjustment for certain issuances of common stock below the exercise price prior to January 25, 2019. The Beedie Warrant is exercisable for cash until January 25, 2024. The Beedie Warrant will be exercisable on a cashless basis at its expiration if notice of expiration is not timely provided by the Company to Beedie. The Beedie Warrant was issued under the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as not involving a public offering. The descriptions of the Beedie Amendment and Beedie Warrant are not complete and each is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Beedie Amendment or Beedie Warrant, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
