NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Amendments to Warrants.
a. As of the Effective Time, Section 1, EXERCISE OF WARRANT, of each Warrant shall be automatically amended, without any action on the part of any Person, by adding a new Section 1(h) at the end thereof, as follows:
“(h) Alternative Cashless Exercise. If (A) the Repurchase Option (as defined below) is not exercised by the Company prior to the close of business on December 15, 2017, (B) the Repurchase Option is so exercised, but the Company does not consummate the Repurchase (as defined below) of this Warrant thereunder in accordance with the terms of the Repurchase Option on or prior to applicable Repurchase Outside Date (as defined below), (C) an Amendment Cancellation Event (as defined below) has occurred or (D) the Company delivers irrevocable notice to the Holder and all holders of the Registered Warrants and the Other Warrants that the Alternative Cashless Exercise (as defined below) has become effective and exercisable by such Holders at their discretion (an “Alternative Cashless Exercise Availability Notice”) (the earliest date on which any of the foregoing occurs, the “Exchange Trigger Date”), then, notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, but subject to the limitation set forth in Section 1(f), the Holder may from time to time, in its sole discretion, exercise (the “Alternative Cashless Exercise”) this Warrant, in whole or in part, and, in lieu of the Cashless Exercise contemplated in Section 1(d) or of making any cash payment otherwise contemplated in Section 1(a) to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise three (3) shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or similar transaction occurring after December 11, 2017 (the “Signing Date”)) for each Warrant Share issuable upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1(a) without giving effect to any limitation on exercise set forth herein. If the Repurchase Price (as defined below) is not paid to the Holder in full on or before the applicable Repurchase Outside Date, then, for purposes of Sections 3, 4(a) and 4(b), the Company shall, or shall cause the Successor Entity to, promptly, but in any event before the second (2nd) Business Day following such Repurchase Outside Date, deliver to the Holder any deliverable that was due to the Holder pursuant to Section 4(b) and the Holder shall, for purposes thereof, be deemed to hold a Warrant exercisable for the number of shares of Common Stock calculated pursuant to an Alternative Cashless Exercise (without regard to any limitation on exercise set forth herein), regardless of whether an Exchange Trigger Date has occurred.
In the event the aggregate number of shares to be issued pursuant to the Alternative Cashless Exercise provision of this Warrant and equivalent provisions in the Registered Warrants and Other Warrants would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (such number of shares, the “Exchange Cap”) and the Company has not obtained stockholder approval to as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of Common Stock in excess of such amount, then, unless the Company voluntarily delists its Common Stock from the Principal Market, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Holder’s Pro Rata Allocation of the Exchange Cap and the Company shall issue to the Holder a Senior Note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Senior Note”) in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock exceeding the product of the Exchange Cap, multiplied by the Holder’s Pro Rata Allocation (such number of shares, the “Exchange Cap Excess Shares”). The original principal amount of the Senior Note issued to the Holder shall be determined by the product of (x) the number of Exchange Cap Excess Shares otherwise issuable to the Holders, and (y) the highest Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Exchange Trigger Date. Upon the issuance of the Senior Note, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be reduced by the Exchange Cap Excess Shares. The Holder shall be entitled to elect how to allocate the Holder’s Exchange Cap Excess Shares between this Warrant and the Holder’s Other Warrant, if any. As used herein, “Pro Rata Allocation” means a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares underlying this Warrant and the Holder’s Other Warrant, if any (in each case, without giving effect to any limitation on exercise set forth herein or therein) held by the Holder as of the Exchange Trigger Date and the denominator of which is the number of shares underlying all of the Registered Warrants and Other Warrants, if any (in each case, without giving effect to any limitation on exercise set forth herein or therein) outstanding as of the Exchange Trigger Date.”
b. As of the Effective Time, Section 7, Reissuance of Warrants, of each Warrant shall be automatically amended, without any action on the part of any Person, by adding a new clause (e) as follows:
“(e) Amendment No. 1. Following the effectiveness of Amendment No. 1 to Series A and Series B Warrants, which amends this Warrant, no sale, transfer, assignment or other conveyance of this Warrant shall be recognized by the Company as effective unless and until the original copy of this Warrant has been surrendered to the Company and replaced, prior to such sale, transfer, assignment or other conveyance, by a replacement copy of this Warrant reflecting such Amendment No. 1 to Series A and Series B Warrants.”
c. As of the Effective Time, Section 17, Company Optional Redemption, of each Warrant shall be automatically amended, without any action on the part of any Person, as follows:
i. the existing paragraph constituting Section 17 shall be designated clause (a) of Section 17.
ii. a new clause (b) shall be added to Section 17, as follows:
“(b) (i) At any time after the effectiveness of Amendment No. 1 to Series A and Series B Warrants, which amends this Warrant, and prior to December 15, 2017 (the “Repurchase Option Period”), the Company may, by delivery of a written notice via e-mail to the Holder, which e-mail address has been previously provided to the Company (the “Repurchase Notice” and the date the Holder and all the holders of the Registered Warrants and the Other Warrants receive the Repurchase Notice, the “Repurchase Notice Date”), elect (the “Repurchase Option”) to repurchase (the “Repurchase”) all of this Warrant that is then outstanding for an aggregate price (the “Repurchase Price”) equal to the product of the number of shares of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant as of the date the Company elects to exercise the Repurchase Option (without regard to any limitation on exercise set forth herein), multiplied by the applicable Repurchase Price, as set forth below:
(1) If the highest Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which the Repurchase Price is paid in full to the Holder (such price, the “Reference Price”) is less than or equal to $0.50 (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or similar transaction occurring after the Signing Date), $0.78673 (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or similar transaction occurring after the Signing Date).
(2) If the Reference Price is greater than $0.50 (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or similar transaction occurring after the Signing Date), but less than, or equal to, $0.60 (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or similar transaction occurring after the Signing Date), $0.88735 (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or similar transaction occurring after the Signing Date).
(3) If the Reference Price is greater than $0.60 (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or similar transaction occurring after the Signing Date), then the higher of (A) $0.88735 (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or similar transaction occurring after the Signing Date) and (B) the Black Scholes Value of the Warrant, calculated as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which the Repurchase Price is paid in full to the Holder, divided by the number of shares of Common Stock underlying this Warrant (without regard to any limitation on exercise set forth herein).
(ii) Unless an Amendment Cancellation Event (as defined below) has occurred, the Repurchase Price shall be payable to the Holder in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions provided in writing by the Holder to the Company, which instructions shall be provided by no later than five (5) Business Days following the Repurchase Notice Date (or if the Holder does not timely provide its wire instructions to the Company, such payment shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by a check drawn on the account of the Company and sent via overnight courier service to such Person at such address as previously provided to the Company in writing), at any time on or prior to the Repurchase Outside Date (as defined below), such date of payment to be determined by the Company and communicated to the Holder by notice promptly after such determination, but in no event less than five (5) Business Days prior to such date of payment. In the event the Repurchase Outside Date as set forth in the Repurchase Notice changes pursuant to the terms and conditions of the definition thereof, the Company shall promptly, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, provide notice (which may be delivered via e-mail as contemplated in Section 17(b)(i)) to the Holder and all the holders of the Registered Warrants and the Other Warrants providing for the new Repurchase Outside Date; provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The “Repurchase Outside Date” means January 22, 2018; provided, that if at any time on or prior thereto the Company (i) enters into a definitive agreement the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby would reasonably be expected to result in a Fundamental Transaction or (ii) enters into a definitive agreement the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby would reasonably be expected to result in a financing that results in net proceeds to the Company in an amount equal to at least the amount of the aggregate Repurchase Price for all of the Registered Warrants and Other Warrants then outstanding (a “Qualified Financing”), then the Repurchase Outside Date shall be adjusted such that the Repurchase Outside Date will occur not later than the earliest of (x) second (2nd) Business Day following the date on which such Fundamental Transaction or Qualified Financing, as applicable, is consummated, (y) the outside date, if any, for the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction or Qualified Financing, as applicable, and (z) March 31, 2018. The Company’s obligations under this Warrant shall terminate upon payment in full of the Repurchase Price to the Holder.
(iii) Unless an Amendment Cancellation Event has occurred, following the Company’s exercise of the Repurchase Option and prior to the Repurchase Outside Date, the Holder may not exercise its right to exercise this Warrant under Section 1 of this Warrant, and the provisions set forth in Section 4 of this Warrant shall not be operative or applicable; provided, however, that the provisions of Sections 4(a) and 4(b) shall apply if the Repurchase Price is not paid to the Holder in full on or before the applicable Repurchase Outside Date, in which event the Company shall, or shall cause the Successor Entity to, promptly, but in any event before the second (2nd) Business Day following such Repurchase Outside Date, deliver to the Holder any deliverable that was due to the Holder pursuant to Section 4(b) and the Holder shall, for purposes thereof, be deemed to hold a Warrant exercisable for the number of shares of Common Stock calculated pursuant to an Alternative Cashless Exercise (without regard to any limitation on exercise set forth herein). Until the earlier to occur (x) the Company’s payment in full to the Holder of the Repurchase Price and (y) the Exchange Trigger Date, the Company shall not declare or make any Distribution or grant, issue or sell any Purchase Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, following the termination of the Payment Period, the Holder shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant, including pursuant to Section 1(h).
(iv) The Company shall, on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days following the Repurchase Notice Date, deposit or cause to be deposited into an escrow reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, to be held by a third party escrow agent reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders (the “Escrow Agent”), an amount in cash at least equal to the aggregate Repurchase Price for this Warrant, all Registered Warrants and all Other Warrants then outstanding, which Repurchase Price shall be calculated assuming that the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock is greater than $0.50 (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or similar transaction occurring after the Signing Date) (the “Escrow Amount”). The Escrow Amount shall be maintained in escrow until the occurrence of the earliest of one of the following events: (a) the Company directs the Escrow Agent to pay the Escrow Amount to the Holder and the holders of the Registered Warrants and the Other Warrants as payment of the Repurchase Price thereunder, (b) a substitute escrow fund reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, in like amount, is provided to be governed by substantially the same escrow terms or (c) the Company delivers an Alternative Cashless Exercise Availability Notice. In the event the Escrow Amount is not placed into escrow as contemplated above by the close of business on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the Repurchase Notice Date or if the Escrow Amount is at any time released from escrow other than in circumstances described in clause (a) or (b) above, then Section 17(b) shall automatically be voided without any further action by the Company and/or the Holder (an “Amendment Cancellation Event”). For the avoidance of doubt, Section 1(h) shall then become available to the Holder from time to time at its sole discretion.
(v) If the Company elects to deliver a Repurchase Notice to the Holder, it shall also deliver a Repurchase Notice (as defined in the Registered Warrants and the Other Warrants) to all, but not less than all, of the holders of the Registered Warrants and the Other Warrants.”

If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company enters into an Amendment Document, then (i) the Company shall provide written notice thereof to the Holder immediately following the occurrence thereof and (ii) the terms and conditions of this Amendment Agreement shall be, without any further action by the Holder or the Company, automatically amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Holder shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in such Amendment Document, provided that upon written notice to the Company at any time the Holder may elect not to accept the benefit of any such amended or modified term or condition, in which event the term or condition contained in this Amendment Agreement shall apply to the Holder as it was in effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Holder.

Nothing contained herein or in any Other Amendment Agreement, and no action taken by the Holder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holder and Other Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holder and Other Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Amendment Agreement or any Other Amendment Agreement and the Company acknowledges that, to the best of its knowledge, the Holder and the Other Holders are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Amendment Agreement or any Other Amendment Agreement.

7. Equal Treatment. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Amendment Agreements or the Warrants unless the same consideration (other than the Specified Changes; provided that the terms of such participation right offered to Hudson Bay and Alto shall be identical in all respects) also is offered to all of the parties to the Amendment Agreements or holders of the Warrants.

10. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of original or facsimile counterparts and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

12. Release.
(a) The Holder acknowledges that the Company may have possession of material, nonpublic information (collectively, the “Information”) concerning the Company or its securities (the “Securities”). The Information may include information about the Company’s business, assets, liabilities, results of operations and prospects. As a consequence, there may exist a disparity of information between the Company and the Holder with respect to the Company and its Securities, including the Warrants. The Holder acknowledges that the Information could be indicative of a value of the Warrants that is more or less than the Repurchase Price or could otherwise be adverse to the Holder and that the Information may be material to the Holder’s decision to enter into this Amendment Agreement. Notwithstanding this, the Holder desires to enter into this Amendment Agreement for its own business purposes.
(b) The Holder represents that it has not requested the Information and agrees that the Company shall not be obligated to disclose any Information or have any liability with respect to any such non-disclosure or the failure of the Holder to review the Information. As a condition to the Company’s agreement to enter into this Amendment Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Holder hereby releases and waives any and all claims, causes of action, actions, proceedings, suits, judgments, liens and executions, whether known or unknown and whether now or hereafter arising (collectively, “Claims”) against the Company and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, representatives, affiliates and successors (collectively, the “Released Persons”), based upon or relating to such non-disclosure or the Holder’s failure to review the Information (including any Claims it may have or hereafter acquire under federal or state securities laws) and further covenants not to sue any of the Released Persons (or institute or maintain any Claims against them) for any loss, damage or liability arising from or relating to the non-disclosure of the Information. The Holder intends to effect a complete and knowing waiver of their rights as set forth herein.
(c) The Holder represents, warrants and acknowledges that it: (a) is a sophisticated investor, (b) has adequate information concerning the Securities, (c) has adequate information concerning the business and financial condition of the Company, (d) has conducted, to the extent it deemed necessary, an independent investigation of such matters as, in its judgment, is necessary for it to make an informed investment decision with respect to this Amendment Agreement, and (e) has not relied upon the Company for any investigation into, assessment of, or evaluation with respect to this Amendment Agreement. The Holder further acknowledges that the Company has not made any representation or warranty whatsoever with respect to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), properties, prospects, creditworthiness, status or affairs of the Company or with respect to the value the Warrants. The Holder further acknowledges that the Company is relying on the acknowledgments and agreements contained herein in entering into this Amendment Agreement, and would not enter into this Amendment Agreement in the absence of the acknowledgments and agreements contained herein.

(2) “Convertible Securities” means any stock or securities (other than Options) convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock.
(3) “Options” means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities.
(4) “Subsequent Placement” means any direct or indirect, offer, sale, grant of any option to purchase, or other disposition of (or announcement of any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) by the Company of any of its or its Subsidiaries’ debt, equity or equity equivalent securities, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security that is, at any time during its life and under any circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.
(ii) From the Exchange Trigger Date until the later of (i) December 31, 2018 and (ii) the date no Senior Notes held by Alto or Hudson Bay or any of their respective affiliates are outstanding, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement unless the Company shall have first complied with this Section 13.
(a) The Company shall deliver to each of Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd. and Alto Master Opportunity Master Fund SPC – Segregated Master Portfolio B (together with their respective transferees or permitted successors and assigns, a “Specified Holder”) an irrevocable written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “Offer”) of the securities being offered by the Company (the “Offered Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (w) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (x) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (y) identify the persons or entities (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Specified Holders all of the Offered Securities, allocated among the Specified Holders based on such Specified Holder’s pro rata portion of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes held by the Specified Holders as of the applicable date of determination (provided that if no Senior Notes remain outstanding and held by any of the Specified Holders as of such date, the allocation between the Specified Holders shall be based on such Specified Holder’s pro rata portion of the principal amount of Senior Notes held by the Specified Holders as of the issuance date of the Senior Notes) (such portion allocated to each Specified Holder, the “Basic Amount”) and with respect to each Specified Holder that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of the other Specified Holder as such Specified Holder shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Specified Holder subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”), which process shall be repeated until the Specified Holders shall have an opportunity to subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription Amount.
(b) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Specified Holder must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the fifth (5th) Business Day after such Specified Holder’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of such Specified Holder’s Basic Amount that such Specified Holder elects to purchase and, if such Specified Holder shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Specified Holder elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company may deliver to the Specified Holders a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on the third (3rd) Business Day after such Specified Holder’s receipt of such new Offer Notice.
(c) The Company shall have ten (10) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above (i) to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Specified Holders (the “Refused Securities”) pursuant to a definitive agreement (the “Subsequent Placement Agreement”), but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice and (ii) to either (a) publicly announce (x) the execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement and (y) either (1) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (2) the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto, or (b) certify in writing to the Specified Holders that (x) the Company has abandoned efforts to offer and sell the Offered Securities and (y) the Specified Holders are not in possession of any material, nonpublic information of the Company or any of its subsidiaries by virtue of such abandoned Subsequent Placement.
(d) In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 13(ii)(c) above), then each Specified Holder may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such Specified Holder elected to purchase pursuant to Section 13(ii)(b) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Specified Holders pursuant to Section 13(ii)(c) above prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Specified Holder so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Specified Holders in accordance with Section 13(ii)(a) above.
(e) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, the Specified Holders shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to the Specified Holders, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 13(ii)(c) above if the Specified Holders have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Company does not consummate the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company shall issue to the Specified Holders, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 13(ii)(d) above if the Specified Holders have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by the Specified Holders of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and the Specified Holders of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Specified Holders and their respective counsel.

(g) The Company and the Specified Holders agree that if any Specified Holder elects to participate in the Offer, (x) neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the “Subsequent Placement Documents”) shall include any term or provisions whereby any Specified Holder shall be required to agree to any restrictions in trading as to any securities of the Company owned by such Specified Holder prior to such Subsequent Placement and (y) the Specified Holders shall be entitled to the same registration rights provided to other investors in the Subsequent Placement.

At any time after the earlier of the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default, the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (the “Event of Default Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Note the Holder is electing to cause the Company to redeem. Each portion of this Note subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price in cash equal to the product of (i) the Outstanding Amount multiplied by (ii) the Redemption Premium (the “Event of Default Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 3(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.

5. COMPANY MANDATORY REDEMPTION. At any time and from time to time after the Issuance Date, to the extent the Company or any of its subsidiaries consummates a Subsequent Placement (the date of the consummation of such a Subsequent Placement, a “Subsequent Placement Date”), the Company shall be required to use 100% of the net proceeds raised in such Subsequent Placement to redeem the Outstanding Amount then remaining under this Note and the Other Notes (a “Company Mandatory Redemption Amount”) on the applicable Company Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below) (a “Company Mandatory Redemption”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the net proceeds raised by the Company in a Subsequent Placement exceed the Outstanding Amount of this Note, the Company shall not be required to pay to the Holder more than the Company Mandatory Redemption Price hereunder. The Company shall effect multiple Company Mandatory Redemptions, as necessary, to redeem in full all Outstanding Amounts under this Note and the Other Notes. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (a “Company Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the Outstanding Amount being redeemed as of the applicable Company Mandatory Redemption Date. The Company shall effect a Company Mandatory Redemption under this Section 5 by delivering a written notice thereof within no later than one (1) Business Day of the applicable Subsequent Placement Date by facsimile or electronic mail and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the holders of Notes (a “Company Mandatory Redemption Notice” and the date all of the Holder and the holders of the Other Notes receive such notice is referred to as a “Company Mandatory Redemption Notice Date”). Each Company Mandatory Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. Each Company Mandatory Redemption Notice shall (x) state the date on which the applicable Company Mandatory Redemption shall occur (a “Company Mandatory Redemption Date”) which date shall not be more than three (3) Trading Days following the applicable Subsequent Placement Date, (y) certify that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing and (z) state the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Notes which is being redeemed in such Company Mandatory Redemption from the Holder pursuant to this Section 5 and all of the holders of the Other Notes pursuant to analogous provisions under the Other Notes on the applicable Company Mandatory Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if no Event of Default has occurred as of the applicable Company Mandatory Redemption Notice Date but an Event of Default occurs at any time prior to the related Company Mandatory Redemption Date, (A) the Company shall provide the Holder a subsequent notice to that effect and (B) unless the Holder waives such Event of Default, such Company Mandatory Redemption shall be cancelled and the applicable Company Mandatory Redemption Notice shall be null and void. If the Company elects to cause a Company Mandatory Redemption of this Note pursuant to Section 5, then it must simultaneously take the same action with respect to all of the Other Notes, and if any Company Mandatory Redemption of this Note pursuant to Section 5 is for a portion of this Note, then the Company Mandatory Redemption of each of the Other Notes shall be for a portion of such Other Note, on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes then outstanding.
| 6 |
6. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note.
7. REDEMPTIONS.

The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder in cash within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice (the “Event of Default Redemption Date”).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with any redemption hereunder at a time the Holder is entitled to receive a cash payment under any other agreement, document, certificate or other instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, at the option of the Holder delivered in writing to the Company, the applicable Redemption Price hereunder shall be increased by the amount of such cash payment owed to the Holder under any such other agreement, document, certificate or other instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and, upon payment in full in accordance herewith, shall satisfy the Company’s payment obligation under such other agreement, document, certificate or other instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Outstanding Amount of this Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 12(d)) representing the outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed. In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the Outstanding Amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Outstanding Amount, and (y) the Company shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 12(d)), to the Holder, and in each case the principal amount of this Note or such new Note (as the case may be) shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between (1) the applicable Redemption Price (as the case may be, and as adjusted pursuant to this Section 7, if applicable) minus (2) the Principal portion of the Outstanding Amount submitted for redemption. The Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding a Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Late Charges which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Outstanding Amount subject to such notice.
| 7 |
(b) Redemption by Other Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice from any of the holders of the Other Notes for redemption or repayment as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events or occurrences described in Section 3(a) (each, an “Other Redemption Notice”), the Company shall immediately, but no later than one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder by facsimile or electronic mail a copy of such notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more Other Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is two (2) Business Days prior to the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s applicable Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is two (2) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s applicable Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all principal, interest and other amounts designated in such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of the Notes (including the Holder) based on the principal amount of the Notes submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the Company during such seven (7) Business Day period.

20. GOVERNING LAW. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.

THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
21. JUDGMENT CURRENCY.
(a) If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Company in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 21 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in U.S. dollars under this Note, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Trading Day immediately preceding:

(b) If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 21(a)(ii) above, there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of US dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.
(c) Any amount due from the Company under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Note.
22. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Note is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Note so long as this Note as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
23. MAXIMUM PAYMENTS. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Holder and thus refunded to the Company.
