RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Parties previously entered into that certain Letter Agreement dated December 1, 2016 (the “Letter Agreement”), with respect to the Conversion Price Reduction of the Investor’s senior secured convertible note; and

 

WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed to extend certain deadlines under the Letter Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree to amend the Letter Agreement as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1.            Amendment. The first two (2) sentences of the third paragraph of the Letter Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

 

“If any Notes remain outstanding as of February 15, 2017, the Company shall irrevocably deliver either a Mandatory Conversion Notice or a Company Optional Redemption Notice, at the Company’s option (the “Election”), to each holder of Notes then outstanding (with a request to waive the Maximum Mandatory Conversion Amount, the Maximum Mandatory Share Amount and any Equity Conditions Failure, if any) with respect to all of the Conversion Amount of the Note of each such Holder then outstanding; provided, that same Election shall be made with respect to each holder of Notes then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if any Notes remain outstanding on February 15, 2017 and the Company shall have failed to make the Election with respect to all of the Conversion Amount of the Notes then outstanding, the Company shall be deemed to have delivered a Mandatory Conversion Notice to each holder of Notes then outstanding (with a request to waive the Maximum Mandatory Conversion Amount, the Maximum Mandatory Share Amount and any Equity Conditions Failure, if any) with respect to all of the Conversion Amount of the Note of each such Holder then outstanding and (y) if the Company elects to effect a Company Optional Redemption of the Notes, the Investor consents, in lieu of the payment of the Company Optional Redemption Price of any Note held by Palladium Capital Advisors LLC, to the exchange of such Note into an unsecured convertible note, which shall (other than being unsecured) be identical to such Note (including, without limitation, with identical outstanding principal and interest thereunder) and shall be permitted indebtedness under the new senior secured convertible notes issued to the Investor pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated December 1, 2016.”

 


 

 




 


 

2.     Consideration. In consideration for this Amendment, the Company hereby agrees to pay the Investor the sum of $25,000, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, on or before January 17, 2017.

 

3.     Disclosure.

From and after the issuance of the 8-K Filing, the Investor shall not be in possession of any material, nonpublic information received from the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents, that is not disclosed in the 8-K Filing. In addition, effective upon the filing of the 8-K Filing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any letter, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and the Investor or any of its affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.
