1
however, that such term means 866,071 shares of Jaguar Common Stock on an as-exchanged basis (to be appropriately adjusted for any share dividend, share split, share combination, reclassification or similar transaction that proportionately decreases or increases the Jaguar Common Stock) upon the occurrence of the Merger Termination Date.
b. Section 2.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Section 2.2 in its entirety and replacing with the following:
2.2 Initial Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at the Initial Closing (as defined below), Napo shall sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers shall (severally, and not jointly) purchase from Napo, Notes having an aggregate original principal amount of Four Hundred Thirty Five Thousand Nine Hundred Forty Nine Dollars and Ninety Two Cents ($435,949.92) to be allocated as set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto for an aggregate purchase price of Five Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($525,000), which shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The initial closing of the transactions contemplated hereunder (the Initial Closing) shall take place simultaneously with the execution and delivery hereof at the offices of Reed Smith LLP, 101 Second Street, Suite 1800, San Francisco, CA 94105 or such other date and place as may be mutually agreed to in writing by the parties. At the Initial Closing, the applicable parties thereto will enter into the other Transaction Documents.
c. Section 2.3 of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Section 4.13 in its entirety and replacing with the following:
2.3 Subsequent Closing. Following the Initial Closing, each Purchaser shall (severally, and not jointly) purchase its Pro Rata Portion of additional Notes with an aggregate original principal amount of Seven Hundred Thirty Five Thousand Dollars ($735,000) for an aggregate purchase price of Five Hundred Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($525,000) subject to the terms and conditions of such purchase being mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Purchasers and that in no event shall, after giving effect to any such sale, the aggregate outstanding original principal amount of all Notes exceed the Maximum Principal Amount (the Subsequent Closing), and provided further that each Purchaser shall be offered terms in respect of its participation in Subsequent Closing(s) which are at least as favorable as the terms applicable to any other purchaser (a Subsequent Purchaser) in the Subsequent Closing. Following such Subsequent Closing, Exhibit B hereto shall be amended to include the Notes purchased by the applicable Purchasers at such Subsequent Closing. The Subsequent Closing shall be on a date mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Purchasers; provided, however, such date shall take place no later than the earlier of the Merger Effective Date or the Merger Termination Date.

e. Section 5 of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
i. Deleting Section 5.5 in its entirety and replacing with the following:
5.5. [Reserved].
ii. Adding the following as Section 5.6 of the Note Purchase Agreement:
5.6 Compliance with Nasdaq Rules. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the total number of shares of Jaguar Common Stock that may be issued under this Agreement shall be limited to 13,533,360 shares (the Exchange Cap), which equals 19.99% of the Companys outstanding shares of Jaguar Common Stock as of July 31, 2017, unless stockholder approval is obtained to issue more than such 19.99%. The Exchange Cap shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction. The foregoing limitation shall not apply if stockholder approval has not been obtained and at any time the Exchange Cap is reached and at all times thereafter the average price paid for all shares of Jaguar Common Stock issued under this Agreement is equal to or greater than $0.56 (the Minimum Price), a price equal to the last closing trade price for Jaguar Common Stock on Nasdaq on July 31, 2017 (in such circumstance, for purposes of Nasdaq, the transaction contemplated hereby would not be below market and the Exchange Cap would not apply). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required or permitted to issue, and the Purchasers will not be permitted to exchange the Notes for, any shares of Jaguar Common Stock under this Agreement if such issuance would violate the rules or regulations of Nasdaq.
f. Section 7.5 of the Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the third sentence thereto and replacing with the following:
Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of the Purchasers of any breach or default under this Agreement or any such waiver of any provision or condition of this Agreement must be in writing by the Required Purchasers, Napo and, prior to the Merger, Nantucket and shall be effective only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth.
