Whereas, Section 9 of the Warrant provides that the provisions of the Warrant may be amended and the Purchaser may take any action therein prohibited, or omit to perform any act therein required to be performed by it, only if the Purchaser has obtained the written consent of the Seller; and

Whereas, the Seller desires to waive the Anti-Dilution Provision with respect to the issuance of the Conversion Shares (as defined below) and the Additional Repayment Shares (as defined below) pursuant to this Amendment, the issuance of shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Other Amendments (as defined below) and to further agree to amend the Anti-Dilution Provision as set forth in this Agreement.

2

 

the conditions set forth herein, at the Closing (as defined below): (i) it will accept the Conversion Shares in full satisfaction of the Repayment Amount that is being converted into Purchaser Common Stock and that as such, upon the Closing, the Seller shall no longer have any rights of repayment against the Purchaser as to SEK 1,151,066.54 owed to the Seller under the Agreement as a portion of the Contingent Cash Balance which amount is being converted into Conversion Shares pursuant to this Amendment, and (ii) upon receipt of the Cash Payment, the Seller shall no longer have any rights of repayment against the Purchaser as to SEK 502,542.60 owed to the Seller under the Agreement as a portion of the Contingent Cash Balance.

3

The foregoing sentence shall not apply to any repayment or payoff of the Debentures that is effectuated through the incurrence of new debt from a single lender or group of affiliated lenders (any such new debt, “Replacement Debt”) so long as the terms of any such Replacement Debt require and permit the Purchaser to repay the Seller in the event of any cash repayment of the Replacement Debt on substantially the same terms as the prior sentence of this Section 2.3 (replacing all references with JGB therein with the holder(s) of the Replacement Debt).”

(b)A new Section 2.4 of the Agreement shall be added to the Agreement as follows:

“2.4Interest.

Simple interest shall accrue on the Contingent Cash Component from July 1, 2017 to the date of payment thereof at an annual interest rate of ten (10) percent, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.”

4.Warrant Amendment. 

(a)Effective upon the Closing, the first paragraph of Section 2(b) of the Warrant shall be amended and restated as follows:

“If and whenever on or after the Issuance Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 2 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Excluded Securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the lower of (y) $1.12 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or similar transactions) or (z) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale) (such lower price is referred to as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to the New Issuance Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 2(b), the following shall be applicable:”

(b)In furtherance of the foregoing, the Seller shall, promptly following the Closing Date, tender and surrender the original Warrant to the Company for cancellation and the Company shall, promptly following receipt of such original Warrant, execute and deliver to the Seller a new Warrant reflecting the amendment set forth in Section 4(a). 

5.Stockholder Approval for Issuance of Additional Repayment Shares.
