With respect to periods after the Effective Date, all of such covenants, obligations and agreements under Article 4 of the SPA that are to be in effect so long as the Amended January 2014 Warrants and the underlying shares (the “Underlying Shares”) are owned by a Holder shall be deemed to be amended mutatis mutandis to remain in effect so long as any Exchange Warrants and any Underlying Shares are owned by such Holder.  In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein constitutes a waiver or release of any breach by the Company of the Existing Warrants or the SPA prior to the date hereof.

If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
