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.”

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. 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.
(a) Mechanics. 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”). The Company shall deliver the applicable Company Mandatory Redemption Price to the Holder in cash on the applicable Company Mandatory 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.

The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein.

The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.

(c) Payments. Whenever any payment of cash is to be made by the Company to any Person pursuant to this Note, unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, such payment shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by a certified 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, provided that the Holder may elect to receive a payment of cash via wire transfer of immediately available funds by providing the Company with prior written notice setting out such request and the Holder’s wire transfer instructions. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day.

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.
