A.
The Issuer and the Note Holder are parties to that certain Convertible Note Facility Agreement dated as of May 28, 2014 (as heretofore
amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the “Convertible Note Agreement”), pursuant to which the Note
Holder has purchased, and the Issuer has sold to the Note Holder, multiple draw secured promissory notes, convertible into the
common stock of the Issuer, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.




 


B.
The parties hereto desire to enter into this First Amendment to amend certain terms of the Convertible Note Agreement as set forth
herein, to be effective as of the First Amendment Effective Date.




 


C.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, for good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:




 


Section
1. Defined Terms. Each capitalized term which is defined in the Convertible Note Agreement, but which is not defined in
this First Amendment, shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Convertible Note Agreement (as amended hereby). Unless
otherwise indicated, all section references in this First Amendment refer to the Convertible Note Agreement.


 


Section
2. Amendments to Convertible Note Agreement. In reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained
in this First Amendment, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 hereof, the
Convertible Note Agreement shall be amended effective as of the First Amendment Effective Date in the manner provided in this
Section 2.


 


2.1
Additional Definitions. Section 1.1 of the Convertible Note Agreement is hereby amended by adding thereto in alphabetical
order the following definitions which shall read in full as follows


 


“Deferred
Interest” has the meaning set forth in Section 3.2A.


 


“Excluded
Issuance” means an issuance or sale of Common Stock of the Issuer in connection with: (a) a grant to any existing or
prospective directors, officers or other employees of the Issuer or any subsidiary of the Issuer pursuant any equity-based plans

or the exercise of any warrants or other rights to acquire Common Stock of the Issuer (other than as provided for in the Convertible
Note Agreement); or (c) any subdivision of Common Stock of the Issuer (by a split of Common Stock of the Issuer or otherwise),
payment of stock dividend, reclassification, reorganization or any similar recapitalization.

“New
Securities” means any authorized but unissued Common Stock of the Issuer.


 





“Specified
Equity Offering” means any issuance of New Securities, other than an Excluded Issuance, on or prior to October 31, 2015.


 


“Specified
Equity Offering Documents” means the documents which set forth the material terms and conditions of a Specified Equity
Offering.


 


2.2
Amendment to Section 3.2A. Section 3.2A of the Convertible Note Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
to read in full as follows:


 


A.
Base Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2B, the unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall bear interest at
a base rate of fourteen percent (14%) per annum (such interest is referred to herein as the “Base Interest”),
payable annually in arrears on each anniversary of the Closing Date, in cash. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.2A or
anything else herein to the contrary, the Note Purchaser has elected to have the May 28, 2015 interest payment (the “Deferred
Interest”) paid in the form of Shares upon the consummation of a Specified Equity Offering (if any). Upon consummation
of such Specified Equity Offering, the Deferred Interest shall be converted into Shares at a price equal to the price provided
for such Shares in the Specified Equity Offering Documents (it being understood that the Note Purchaser shall be issued New Securities
in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the gross proceeds received by the Issuer in such Specified Equity Offering, up to
the amount of Deferred Interest), and Section 3.5 of the Convertible Note Facility Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to
provide for delivery of payment of the Deferred Interest in New Securities. In the event that the Issuer fails to consummate a
Specified Equity Offering or the size of the Specified Equity Offering is insufficient to enable payment of the entire Deferred
Interest in New Securities, the Issuer may, at its option, pay on October 31, 2015, any Deferred Interest not paid in New Securities
either in cash or in kind by increasing the principal amount of the Notes by an amount equal to the Deferred Interest not so paid,
provided that, to the extent that such Deferred Interest is so paid in kind, (i) the Issuer shall make a payment in cash in an
amount equal to such Deferred Interest on or prior to May 28, 2017 and (ii) except for the required payment described in clause
(i), all other terms and provisions of the Notes shall continue to apply.
