2. Amendment to SPA. The SPA is hereby amended by deleting the Subsequent Equity Financing Provision contained in Section 4.12(a) of the SPA in its entirety and inserting “Reserved” in lieu thereof.

 

3. Conditions to Effectiveness of Amendment. This Amendment shall become effective upon receipt by the Company and the Purchaser of counterpart signatures to this Amendment duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Purchaser and upon receipt by the Purchaser of counterpart signatures to the Payoff Commitment Agreement and Confession of Judgment duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Purchaser. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges and agrees that by no later than 5:00 p.m. on the date that is two (2) business days following the closing date of the offering of Units pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File no. 333-XXXXXX) (the “Offering”), the Company is obligated to pay the Purchaser, as consideration for entering into this Amendment, $1,00,000.00 by wire to the Purchaser. Additionally, the Company agrees to include a proposal in its proxy statement for its 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting Common Stock, to effectuate the reduction of the exercise price set forth in Section 2(b) of the Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued to Purchaser on March 27, 2023 (the “Existing Warrants”) to the per unit public offering price of the Offering, in accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) (the “Shareholder Approval”) with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such proposal be approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposal.

If the Company does not obtain Shareholder Approval at the first meeting, the Company shall call a meeting every six (6) months thereafter to seek Shareholder Approval until the earlier of the date Shareholder Approval is obtained or the Existing Warrants are no longer outstanding. Until such approval is obtained, the exercise price of the Existing Warrants will remain unchanged. In addition, the parties agree to amend this Amendment promptly after filing the Registration Statement on Form S-1 referred to above solely to fill in the registration statement filing number assigned by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
