            (i)        receipt by Seller of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Purchaser, which such shares shall represent 19.9% of the total shares outstanding of Purchaser as of the Closing (or such other percentage as mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller); and

            (ii)       all the obligations and liabilities of Seller and all of its subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries) under or related to the Closing Indebtedness (as defined below), including any guaranties provided by, or joint and several obligations of, Seller and its subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries) relating thereto, being released against Seller and all of its subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries) and assumed by Purchaser, resulting in Seller and all of its subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries) ceasing to have any obligations or liabilities relating to or arising from the Closing Indebtedness, including any guaranties provided by, or joint and several obligations of, Seller or any of its subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries) relating thereto.


At the Closing, all Liens granted in connection with any Closing Indebtedness on any of the assets of Seller or any of its subsidiaries (other than the Acquired Company and its subsidiaries), including the Merged Business and the SNAP Business, shall be released. The parties hereto further agree that the Final Purchase Price shall equal the Estimated Purchase Price, as it is satisfied pursuant hereto, and that there shall be no further adjustment to the Purchase Price. For purposes of this Agreement, “Closing Indebtedness” means the Indebtedness pursuant to that certain (i) 8% Senior Secured Convertible Debenture, dated December 1, 2014, by and between the Company and FBC Holdings S.A.R.L., as amended (the “Debenture”), provided that only $18 million of the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture shall be included in the definition of Closing Indebtedness, (ii) Credit Agreement, dated April 6, 2016, by and among Overland Storage, Inc., Tandberg Data GMBH, and Opus Bank, as amended and as assigned to FBC Holdings S.A R.L, and (iii) Subordinated Promissory Note, dated December 11, 2017, by and between Overland Storage, Inc. and MF Ventures, LLC.”

4.

Waiver. Purchaser hereby waives any failure by Seller and/or the Acquired Company to comply with any provision of Section 5.1 of the Purchase Agreement and irrevocably releases Seller with respect to any and all claims relating thereto which Purchaser has now or may have hereafter.

No Other Amendments. Except as and to the extent expressly modified by this Amendment, the Purchase Agreement is not otherwise being amended, modified or supplemented and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
