AMENDMENT


 


This
Amendment (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of March 10, 2015, by and between Tonaquint,
Inc., a Utah corporation (“Lender”), and Guided Therapeutics,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Debtor”).


 


A.Debtor
previously issued to Lender a Secured Promissory Note dated September 10, 2014 and in the principal amount of $1,275,000.00 (the
“Note”).


 


B.The
Note was issued pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated September 10, 2014 between Lender and Debtor (the “Purchase
Agreement,” and together with the Note and all other documents entered into in conjunction therewith, the “Loan
Documents”).


 


C.Debtor
has requested to extend the maturity date of the Note (the “Extension”).


 


D.Lender
has agreed, subject to the terms, amendments, conditions and understandings expressed in this Amendment, to grant the Extension.


 


NOW
THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree
as follows:


 


1.                 
Recitals. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the recitals set forth above in this Amendment are true
and accurate and are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Amendment.


 


2.                 
Extension. The first sentence of Section 1 of the Note is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:


 


“PAYMENT.
Debtor shall pay to Lender the entire outstanding balance of this Note on or before the date that is eight (8) months from the
date hereof.”


 


3.                 
Interest. Section 2 of the Note is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:


 


“INTEREST.
Interest shall not accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note until the date that is six (6) months from the date hereof
unless an Event of Default (as defined below) occurs prior to such date. Upon the earlier of (i) the date that is six (6) months
from the date hereof, and (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, the outstanding balance of this Note shall bear interest
at the lesser of the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, compounding monthly
on the first day of each month and calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, from the date due until paid.”


  


		4.	      Conversions.



 


(a)               
During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on May 10, 2015 (the “Extension Period”),
Lender shall have the right to convert up to $150,000.00 of the outstanding balance of the Note into shares of Debtor’s
common stock (the “Conversion Shares”).


 


(b)              
Lender may elect to make such a conversion (each, a “Conversion”) by delivering a conversion notice
in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A to Debtor (“Conversion Notice”). Debtor
agrees to deliver Conversion Shares on or prior to the date that is three (3) business days after delivery of a Conversion Notice
(the “Delivery Deadline”). For the avoidance of doubt, Debtor further agrees that it will honor any
Conversion Notice delivered during the Extension Period, even if delivered on the final day thereof. When a Conversion Notice
or other notice hereunder is deemed to be delivered shall be governed by the terms of Section 7.8 of the Purchase Agreement.


 


(c)               
The conversion price per share (the “Conversion Price”) for each Conversion shall be the lower of (i)
$0.25, and (ii) 75% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price per share of Debtor’s common stock (as reported by
Bloomberg, L.P.) during the five (5) business days immediately prior to the date of the applicable Conversion. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Conversion Price shall be subject to a conversion floor of $0.15 per share (the “Conversion Floor”).
If Lender submits a Conversion Notice with a Conversion Price less than the Conversion Floor, then Debtor shall, within two (2)
business days of Lender’s delivery of such Conversion Notice, notify Lender in writing of its election to either (i) pay
the conversion amount in cash, or (ii) waive the Conversion Floor and deliver the Conversion Shares. On or prior to the Delivery
Deadline, Debtor shall pay the aggregate Conversion Price in cash or deliver the applicable Conversion Shares, as the case may
be. If Debtor fails to deliver a notice as required pursuant to this Section 4(c), then Debtor shall be deemed to have elected
to have waived the Conversion Floor and will be required to deliver the applicable Conversion Shares on or before the Delivery
Date.


 


(d)              
If Debtor elects or is deemed to have elected to deliver Conversion Shares and fails to deliver Conversion Shares on or prior
to the Delivery Deadline, a late fee equal to the greater of (a) $500.00 and (b) 2% of the applicable Conversion Share Value (as
defined below) rounded to the nearest multiple of $100.00 will be assessed for each day after the Delivery Deadline until Conversion
Share delivery is made; and such late fee will be added to the outstanding balance of the Note (such fees, the “Conversion
Delay Late Fees”), provided, however, that in no event will the cumulative amount of any Conversion
Delay Late Fees for each Conversion exceed 100% of the applicable Conversion Share Value. For illustration purposes only, if Lender
delivers a Conversion Notice to Debtor pursuant to which Debtor is required to deliver 100,000 Conversion Shares to Lender and
on the Delivery Deadline such Conversion Shares have a Conversion Share Value of $20,000.00 (assuming a Closing Trade Price on
the Delivery Deadline of $0.20 per share of common stock), then in such event a Conversion Delay Late Fee in the amount of $500.00
per day (the greater of $500.00 per day and $20,000.00 multiplied by 2%, which is $400.00) would be added to the outstanding balance
of the Note until such Conversion Shares are delivered to Lender. For purposes of this example, if the Conversion Shares are delivered
to Lender twenty (20) days after the applicable Delivery Deadline, the total Conversion Delay Late Fees that would be added to
the outstanding balance would be $10,000.00 (20 days multiplied by $500.00 per day). If the Conversion Shares are delivered to
Lender one hundred (100) days after the applicable Delivery Deadline, the total Conversion Delay Late Fees that would be added
to the outstanding balance of the Note would be $20,000.00 (100 days multiplied by $500.00 per day, but capped at 100% of the
Conversion Share Value). For purposes of this Amendment, “Conversion Share Value” means the product
of the number of Conversion Shares deliverable pursuant to any Conversion multiplied by the volume weighted average price per
share on the applicable Delivery Deadline.


 


5.                 
Volume Restriction.


 


(a)               
Lender agrees that, with respect to the Conversion Shares, in any given calendar week its Net Sales (as defined below) of such
Conversion Shares shall not exceed the greater of (i) fifteen percent (15%) of Debtor’s weekly dollar trading volume in
such week (which, for purposes hereof, means the number of shares traded during such calendar week multiplied by the volume weighted
average price per share (as reported by Bloomberg L.P.) for such calendar week), and (ii) $75,000 (the “Volume Restriction”).
For purposes of this Amendment, the term “Net Sales” means the gross proceeds from sales of Conversion
Shares sold in a calendar week minus the purchase price paid for any shares of Debtor’s common stock purchased from persons
other than Debtor in such week. Lender hereby authorizes Debtor to request a trading activity report from Lender’s broker
with respect to Lender’s Net Sales during any calendar week.


 


(b)              
Lender agrees that in the event it breaches the Volume Restriction where its Net Sales during any calendar week exceed the dollar
volume it is permitted to sell in any calendar week (such excess, the “Excess Sales”), then is such
event Debtor shall be entitled to reduce the outstanding balance of the Note by an amount equal to 200% of the Excess Sales upon
delivery of written notice to Lender.


 


6.                 
Trading Activities. During the Extension Period, Lender will not directly or through an affiliate engage in any open market
Short Sales (as defined below) of Debtor’s common stock; provided; however, that unless and until Debtor has affirmatively
demonstrated by the use of specific evidence that Lender is engaging in open market Short Sales, Lender shall be assumed to be
in compliance with the provisions of this Section and Debtor shall remain fully obligated to fulfill all of its obligations under
the Loan Documents; and provided, further, that (i) Debtor shall under no circumstances be entitled to request or demand that
Lender either (A) provide trading or other records of Lender or of any party (other than as set forth in Section 5(a) above),
or (B) affirmatively demonstrate that Lender or any other party has not engaged in any such Short Sales in breach of these provisions
as a condition to Debtor’s fulfillment of its obligations under any of the Loan Documents, (ii) Debtor shall not assert
Lender’s or any other party’s failure to demonstrate such absence of such Short Sales or provide any trading or other
records of Lender or any other party as all or part of a defense to any breach of Debtor’s obligations under any of the
Loan Documents, and (iii) Debtor shall have no setoff right with respect to any such Short Sales. As used herein, “Short
Sale” has the meaning provided in Rule 3b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


 


7.                 
Representations and Warranties of Debtor. In order to induce Lender to enter into this Amendment, Debtor, for itself, and
for its affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees as follows:


 


(a)Debtor
has full power and authority to enter into this Amendment and to incur and perform all obligations and covenants contained herein,
all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action. No consent, approval, filing or registration with or
notice to any governmental authority is required as a condition to the validity of this Amendment or the performance of any of
the obligations of Debtor hereunder.


 


(b)There
is no fact known to Debtor or which should be known to Debtor which Debtor has not disclosed to Lender on or prior to the date
of this Amendment which would or could materially and adversely affect the understanding of Lender expressed in this Amendment
or any representation, warranty, or recital contained in this Amendment.


 


(c)Except
as expressly set forth in this Amendment, Debtor acknowledges and agrees that neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment
nor any of the terms, provisions, covenants, or agreements contained in this Amendment shall in any manner release, impair, lessen,
modify, waive, or otherwise affect the liability and obligations of Debtor under the terms of the Loan Documents.


 


(d)Debtor
has no defenses, affirmative or otherwise, rights of setoff, rights of recoupment, claims, counterclaims, actions or causes of
action of any kind or nature whatsoever against Lender, directly or indirectly, arising out of, based upon, or in any manner connected
with, the transactions contemplated hereby, whether known or unknown, which occurred, existed, was taken, permitted, or begun
prior to the execution of this Amendment and occurred, existed, was taken, permitted or begun in accordance with, pursuant to,
or by virtue of any of the terms or conditions of the Loan Documents. To the extent any such defenses, affirmative or otherwise,
rights of setoff, rights of recoupment, claims, counterclaims, actions or causes of action exist or existed, such defenses, rights,
claims, counterclaims, actions and causes of action are hereby waived, discharged and released. Debtor hereby acknowledges and
agrees that the execution of this Amendment by Lender shall not constitute an acknowledgment of or admission by Lender of the
existence of any claims or of liability for any matter or precedent upon which any claim or liability may be asserted.


 


(e)Debtor
represents and warrants that as of the date hereof no Events of Default (as defined in the Note) exist under the Loan Documents
or have occurred prior to the date hereof.


 


8.

for its affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees as follows:


 


(a)Lender
has full power and authority to enter into this Amendment and to incur and perform all obligations and covenants contained herein,
all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action. No consent, approval, filing or registration with or
notice to any governmental authority is required as a condition to the validity of this Amendment or the performance of any of
the obligations of Lender hereunder.


 


(b)(i)
Lender is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D; (ii) Lender is experienced,
sophisticated and knowledgeable in trading in securities of private and public companies and by reason of its respective business
or financial experience or its own independent investigation, Lender is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the transaction
contemplated by the Transaction Documents; (iii) Lender will only acquire the Note or the Conversion Shares for investment, for
its own account and not for the interest of any other person and not for distribution or resale to others; and (iv) Lender is
familiar with the Company and has been given the opportunity to ask questions of the officers and directors of the Company and
to obtain (and has received to its satisfaction) such information about the business and financial conditions of the Company as
it has reasonably requested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8 shall be construed to modify, undermine
or act as a defense to Company’s unconditional obligation to repay the Note. 


 


9.                 
Certain Acknowledgments. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that: (a) no property or cash consideration of
any kind whatsoever has been or shall be given by Lender to Debtor in connection with the Extension or other amendments to the

by this Amendment. If there is a conflict between the terms of this Amendment and any Loan Document, the terms of this Amendment
shall control. No forbearance or waiver may be implied by this Amendment. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution,
delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment to, any right, power, or remedy
of Lender under any Loan Document, as in effect prior to the date hereof.


 


11.             
Headings. The headings contained in this Amendment are for reference purposes only and do not affect in any way the meaning
or interpretation of this Amendment.


 


12.             
Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original,
but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. The parties hereto confirm that any electronic copy of another party’s
executed counterpart of this Amendment (or such party’s signature page thereof) will be deemed to be an executed original
thereof.


 


13.
