Ltd., a Singapore company (“Buyer”), amends that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of January 3, 2020 between the Company and the Buyer (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement.


 


WHEREAS, on February 24, 2020, the parties entered into Amendment No. 1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement to permit an interim closing on $700,000 of the Second Tranche Purchase Price, prior to the satisfaction of the relevant closing conditions to, and the consummation of the Second Closing.

WHEREAS, in order to induce the Buyer to enter into this Amendment and to provide the Additional Second Tranche Advance, the Company wishes to extend to the Buyer, and Buyer wishes to secure, the Board Appointment Right to appoint one additional Buyer Director Nominee (the “Third Buyer Director Nominee”), for which Buyer shall be entitled to all of the rights and privileges set forth in Section 5.05 of the Securities Purchase Agreement.


 


WHEREAS, as additional consideration to induce the Buyer to enter into this Amendment, the Company desires to issue to the Buyer an aggregate of 260,000 shares of Common Stock, valued at $1.00 per share (the “Additional Inducement Shares”).

For the avoidance of doubt, if at the time the Company increases the size of the Board to ten directors, Buyer holds 56% of the Company’s voting power, then Buyer will be entitled to a total of four Buyer Director Nominees.
