WHEREAS, the Company and SRFK entered into an engagement agreement dated January 23, 2015 (the “Engagement Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed that, if it issued securities in a financing in which the Company receives aggregate gross proceeds of at least $100,000 (a “Qualified Financing”), SRFK would be entitled to receive, in addition to the securities issued under the Engagement Agreement, such securities that are offered or provided upon the same terms and conditions to the investors in the Qualified Financing as if it had invested $70,000 in the Qualified Financing (the “Anti-Dilution Securities”);

WHEREAS, SRFK previously waived its right to receive Anti-Dilution Securities in connection with the Company’s October 2016 financing (the “2016 Financing”); and

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), SRFK desires to exchange the Company’s further obligations to issue Anti-Dilution Securities under the Engagement Agreement, and the Company desires to issue the securities as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

	1.	Payment by the Company. The Company will issue to SRFK upon closing of its offering of Series J Preferred Stock, shares of its newly designated Series K Preferred Stock that shall be convertible into an aggregate of 978,561 shares of common stock (the “Settlement Securities”).

	2.	Waiver and Release by SRFK. SRFK hereby waives the further issuance of any Anti-Dilution Securities under the Engagement Agreement. In addition to, and not in limitation of the foregoing sentence, SRFK, on behalf of itself, its predecessors, successors, direct and indirect parent companies, direct and indirect subsidiary companies, companies under common control with any of the foregoing, affiliates and assigns, and its and their past, present, and future officers, directors, shareholders, interest holders, members, partners, attorneys, agents, employees, managers, representatives, assigns, and successors in interest, and all persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with them, and each of them, hereby release and discharge the Company, together with their predecessors, successors, direct and indirect parent companies, direct and indirect subsidiary companies, companies under common control with any of the foregoing, affiliates and assigns and its and their past, present, and future officers, directors, shareholders, interest holders, members, partners, attorneys, agents, employees, managers, representatives, assigns and successors in interest, and all persons acting by, through, under or in concert with them, and each of them, from all known and unknown charges, complaints, claims, grievances, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts, penalties, fees, wages, medical costs, pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred), and punitive damages, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, which SRFK has, or may have had, against the Company, whether or not apparent or yet to be discovered, or which may hereafter develop, for any acts or omissions related to or arising from the Engagement Agreement, including the issuance of any securities in connection with the 2016 Financing.

	3.	Release by Company. The Company, on behalf of itself, its predecessors, successors, direct and indirect parent companies, direct and indirect subsidiary companies, companies under common control with any of the foregoing, affiliates and assigns, and its and their past, present, and future officers, directors, shareholders, interest holders, members, partners, attorneys, agents, employees, managers, representatives, assigns, and successors in interest, and all persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with them, and each of them, hereby release and discharge SRFK, together with its predecessors, successors, direct and indirect parent companies, direct and indirect subsidiary companies, companies under common control with any of the foregoing, affiliates and assigns and its and their past, present, and future officers, directors, shareholders, interest holders, members, partners, attorneys, agents, employees, managers, representatives, assigns and successors in interest, and all persons acting by, through, under or in concert with them, and each of them, from all known and unknown charges, complaints, claims, grievances, liabilities, obligations, promises, agreements, controversies, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, rights, demands, costs, losses, debts, penalties, fees, wages, medical costs, pain and suffering, mental anguish, emotional distress, expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred), and punitive damages, of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, which he Company and such persons has, or may have had, against SRFK and such persons, whether or not apparent or yet to be discovered, or which may hereafter develop, for any acts or omissions related to or arising from the Engagement Agreement.
