NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1.Defined Terms. Terms used, but not defined here, shall have the meaning assigned such terms in the 2015 Purchase Agreement.
2.Amendment to 2015 Warrants. Section 2 of each of the 2015 Warrants is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
