connection therewith until the date that is 45 days after Closing and (3) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall amend or modify any securities that are currently outstanding that are held by Oxford Finance, LLC (including in reliance upon clause (b) of the definition of Exempt Issuance). For purposes of this Section 22: “Common Stock Equivalent” means any securities of the Company or the Subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock. “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities issued pursuant to the Dealer Manager Agreement and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of the Dealer Manager Agreement, provided that such securities (other than any warrants currently outstanding that are held by Oxford Finance, LLC) have not been amended since the date of the Dealer Manager Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of any such securities or to extend the term of such securities (for the avoidance of any doubt, if the Company reprices the existing warrants held by Oxford Finance, LLC, the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such existing warrants shall be an Exempt Issuance) (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions, dispositions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that until the date that is 90 days after Closing such securities are issued as “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144) and such securities carry no registration rights that require or permit the filing of any registration statement in connection therewith until the date that is 90 days after Closing, and provided that, and provided that any such issuance shall only be to a Person (or to the equityholders of a Person) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities, (d) shares of Common Stock pursuant to that certain Sales Agreement, dated June 1, 2018, by and between the Company and B. Riley FBR, Inc., (e) up to $10,000,000 of shares of Common Stock, in the aggregate, pursuant to an equity line of credit with a financial institution, (f) warrants (and the shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants) to Oxford Finance, LLC in connection with the re-financing of the existing $17,700,000 term loan made by Oxford Finance, LLC to the Company, (g) securities issued to banks, equipment lessors or other financial institutions, or to real property lessors, pursuant to a debt financing, equipment lease financing arrangements, credit agreements or other commercial transactions, and (h) securities issued in connection with research and development partnerships, licensing, corporate partnering, collaborative arrangements or similar transactions.”
