AGREEMENT


 


SECTION 1. Amendment to the Agreement.
The parties agree, from and after the Effective Date, that Section 4(y) of the Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety
as follows:


 


(y) Stockholder Approval. The Company shall either
(x) if the Company shall have obtained the prior written consent of the requisite stockholders (the “Stockholder Consent”)
to obtain the Stockholder Approval (as defined below), inform the stockholders of the Company of the receipt of the Stockholder Consent
by preparing and filing with the SEC, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, but prior to the forty-fifth (45th) calendar day
after the Initial Closing Date (or, if such filing is delayed by a court or regulatory agency, in no event later than ninety (90) calendar
days after the Initial Closing Date), an information statement with respect thereto or (y) provide each stockholder entitled to vote at
a special meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholder Meeting”), which shall be promptly called and held
not later than the one hundred and twentieth (120th) calendar day after the Initial Closing Date (the “Stockholder
Meeting Deadline”), a proxy statement, in each case, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Buyers and Kelley Drye & Warren
LLP, at the expense of the Company, with the Company obligated to reimburse the expenses of Kelley Drye & Warren LLP incurred in connection
therewith in an amount not exceed $5,000.00. The proxy statement, if any, shall, among other things, solicit each of the Company’s
stockholder’s affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting for approval of resolutions (“Stockholder Resolutions”)
providing for the approval of the issuance of all of the Securities in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Principal Market
(without regard to any limitations on conversion or exercise set forth in the Notes or Warrants, respectively) (such affirmative approval
being referred to herein as the “Stockholder Approval”, and the date such Stockholder Approval is obtained, the “Stockholder
Approval Date”), and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such resolutions
and to cause the Board of Directors of the Company to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such resolutions. The Company shall
be obligated to seek to obtain the Stockholder Approval by the Stockholder Meeting Deadline. If, despite the Company’s reasonable
best efforts the Stockholder Approval is not obtained on or prior to the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, the Company shall cause an additional
Stockholder Meeting to be held on or prior to the one hundred and eightieth (180th) calendar day after the Initial Closing
Date. If, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts, the Stockholder Approval is not obtained after such subsequent stockholder
meetings, the Company shall cause an additional Stockholder Meeting to be held semi-annually thereafter until such Stockholder Approval
is obtained, provided, that, if applicable, the Company’s obligation to hold additional Stockholder Meetings to obtain the Stockholder
Approval shall terminate on the later of (x) Additional Closing Expiration Date, and (y) the date no Notes or Warrants remain outstanding.


 






     


     


    

 


SECTION 2. Miscellaneous.


 


(a) Governing Law;
Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Amendment
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 under any of the other Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, 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. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to
process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices
to it under the Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.
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 or operate to preclude any Buyer from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the
Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to such Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other
court ruling in favor of such Buyer. EACH PARTY 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 UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.


 


(b) Counterparts.
This Amendment may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement
and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any
signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an
executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf
such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.


 


(c) Effect of Amendment.
Except as and to the extent expressly set forth in this Amendment, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with
its terms.
