Commitments and Contingencies	The letter from AEXG counsel claimed that Generex’s acceptance of $3,000,000 in financing form Pharma Trials, LLC, in March 2017, violated the provisions of the MOU prohibiting Generex from seeking other financing, with certain exceptions, for a period of 60 days after execution of the MOU. AEXG has demanded at least $210,000 in cash and 84,000 warrants for Generex stock convertible at $2.50 per share, for attorney’s fees and costs.  Generex management believes the Pharma Trials, LLC Financing was not subject to the prohibitions because the representative of Pharma Trials, LLC was a director of Generex, and for other reasons.
