Company and the Holder are parties to that certain Common Stock Warrant, dated as of October 9, 2015 (the “Warrant”).

 

B.           The
Company and the Holder now desire to amend the Warrant in the respects, but only in the respects, hereinafter set forth. This Amendment
is being effected in accordance with Section 15(c) of the Warrant.

 

C.           On
even date herewith, the Parties are entering into an amendment to that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of
October 9, 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Purchase Agreement is being amended
to forfeit the Holder’s ability, in certain circumstances, to designate a director to serve on the Board of Directors of

D.           Capitalized
terms used herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Warrant, as amended by this Amendment, unless herein
defined or the context shall otherwise require.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the Forfeiture of Designation Right, the mutual promises hereinafter set forth and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound,
the Parties hereby agree as follows:

 

     

     

    

 

SECTION
1.       Amendments.

 

Section
1.1       Amendment of Section 9.
Section 9 of the Warrant is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

9.        Limitation
on Exercise. The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise
this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates
and any other member of a “group”) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”)
of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence,
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder, its affiliates and any member of a group shall
include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of
such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining,
unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the
unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (including,
without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or
exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. For purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and whether the Holder
is a member of a group shall be calculated and determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Warrant,
in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any
other notice by the Company or the transfer agent for the Company setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days, confirm
to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by
the Holder, its affiliates or any member of a group since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
was reported. The Holder shall disclose to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock that it, its affiliates or any member
of a group owns and has the right to acquire through the exercise of derivative securities and any limitations on exercise or conversion
analogous to the limitation contained herein contemporaneously or immediately prior to exercising this Warrant. For clarification,
if the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates and any other member of a group) beneficially owns more than 9.99% of
Common Stock before the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder will not be able to exercise this Warrant, subject to the limitations
contained herein until the Holder’s beneficial ownership (together with the Holder’s affiliates and any other member
of a group) is less than such limitation. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise
than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective
or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary
or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

Section
2.1           Ratification.
Each Party hereby consents to this Amendment and acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly set forth in this Amendment,
the terms, provisions and conditions of the Warrant are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain unchanged and in full force
and effect without interruption or impairment of any kind. 

 

Section
2.2           No Other Amendments; Reservation of Rights; No Waiver.
Other than as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Amendment shall not be deemed to operate as an amendment or waiver of,
or to prejudice, any right, power, privilege or remedy of any Party under the Warrant, nor shall the entering into of this Amendment
preclude any Party from refusing to enter into any further amendments with respect to the Warrant. Other than as to otherwise
expressly provided herein, without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 15(c) of the Warrant, this Amendment shall
not constitute a waiver of compliance with any covenant or other provision in the Warrant or of the occurrence or continuance
of any present or future breach thereunder.

 

Section
2.3           Headings; Interpretation.
The headings in this Amendment are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of
this Amendment. Each reference to “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereof,” and “hereunder”
and each other similar reference contained in the Warrant, each reference to “this Warrant” and each other similar
reference contained in the Warrant and each reference contained in this Amendment to the “Warrant” shall on and after
the date of this Amendment refer to the Warrant as amended by this Amendment. Any notices, requests, certificates and other instruments
executed and delivered on or after the date of this Amendment may refer to the Warrant without making specific reference to this
Amendment but nevertheless all such references shall mean the Warrant as amended by this Amendment unless the context otherwise
requires. As used in this Amendment, the word “including” or any variation thereof means “including, without
limitation” and shall not be construed to limit any general statement that it follows to the specific or similar items or
matters immediately following it. All words used in this Amendment will be construed to be of such gender or number as the circumstances
require. The recitals to this Amendment and all Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated

Section
2.4           Complete Agreement.
The Warrant, as amended by this Amendment, and all other certificates, documents or instruments executed under the Warrant, as
amended by this Amendment, together with the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and thereto, constitute the entire agreement between
the Parties, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral and written, between the Parties, with respect to the
subject matter of the Warrant, as amended by this Amendment; there are no conditions to this Amendment that are not expressly stated
in this Amendment. 

 

Section
2.5           Amendment. This Amendment
may not be amended or modified except in the manner specified for an amendment of or modification to the Warrant in Section 15(c)
of the Warrant.

Section
2.6           Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury
Trial. The provisions of Sections 15(f) and (j) of the Warrant shall govern and apply to this
Amendment, mutatis mutandis.

 

Section
2.7           Counterparts. This
Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument. For purposes of this Amendment, facsimile and .pdf signatures shall be deemed originals
for all purposes.

 

Section
2.8           Severability. If any
provision of this Amendment shall be declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, then
such provisions shall be construed so that the remaining provisions of this Amendment shall not be affected, but shall remain in
full force and effect, and any such illegal, void or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed, without further action on the part
of any person or entity, to be modified, amended and/or limited, but only to the extent necessary to render the same valid and
enforceable in, and only in, the applicable jurisdiction.

hereto (each an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”).

 

RECITALS

 

The Company desires to
sell to the Investors, and the Investors desire to purchase from the Company, (i) shares (the “Shares”)
of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) and (ii) warrants to purchase
the Company’s Common Stock (the “Warrants”), in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto (the
“Financing”).

 

AGREEMENT

 

In consideration of the
foregoing recitals and the mutual promises set forth in this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

 

Section 1.             AUTHORIZATION
AND SALE.

 

1.1   Authorization.
The Company has duly authorized the issuance and sale, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, of the Shares and Warrants against
payment of the purchase price therefor.

 

1.2  Subscription.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Investor, severally and not jointly, hereby irrevocably
subscribes for and agrees to purchase, and the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Investors, at the Closing (as defined
below), the number of Shares indicated opposite such Investor’s name on Exhibit A in the column captioned “Shares
of Common Stock” and Warrants to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such Investor’s name
on Exhibit A in the column captioned “Warrant Shares” for the aggregate purchase price set forth opposite such
Investor’s name on Exhibit A in the column captioned “Purchase Price” (the “Investor’s
Commitment”) . Each Investor shall pay the Investor’s Commitment in full by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the Company at the Closing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation
to issue any Shares or Warrants, or shares of Common Stock into which the Warrants are exercisable (collectively, the “Issuable
Shares,” and together with the Warrants, the “Securities”) to any person who is a resident
of a jurisdiction in which the issuance of any of the Securities would constitute a violation of the securities, “blue sky”
or other similar laws of such jurisdiction (collectively referred to as the “State Securities Laws”).

 

1.3  Closing.
The initial closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares and Warrants hereunder (the “Initial Closing”)
shall take place at the offices of DLA Piper LLP (US), 401 Congress Avenue, Suite 2500, Austin, Texas 78701, on or about the date
hereof, or at such other time and place as the Company and the Investors mutually agree upon (which time and place are referred
to in this Agreement as the “Initial Closing Date”).

 

1.4   Additional
Closings.

 

(a)          From and
after the Initial Closing, the Company shall have the right to sell up to the balance of the remaining Shares and Warrants pursuant
to this Agreement at one or more additional closings occurring within 30 days of the Initial Closing Date (each, an “Additional
Closing”), and to add additional entities and persons as “Investors” hereunder and as parties hereto.
No Investor in the Initial Closing is obligated to purchase Shares in the Additional Closing.

 

    Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement; 04-2016

     

    

 

(b)           The aggregate
number of Shares issued in any Closings shall not exceed 14,285,714 Shares and the aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise

DLA Piper LLP (US), 401 Congress Avenue, Suite 2500, Austin, Texas 78701, on a date or dates determined by the Company and the
Investors purchasing additional Shares and Warrants at such Additional Closing (each such date, an “Additional Closing
Date”). Any Shares and Warrants issued pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall be deemed to be “Shares”
and “Warrants,” respectively, for all purposes under this Agreement and at the same per share Purchase Price. The Initial
Closing and each Additional Closing shall constitute and be treated as a “Closing” hereunder, and the
Initial Closing Date and each Additional Closing Date shall constitute and be treated as a “Closing Date”
hereunder. At the Initial Closing and each Additional Closing, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Investors participating
in such Closing the Shares and the Warrants, each registered in the name of such Investors, against payment to the Company of the
purchase price therefor.

 

1.5   Separate
Sales. The Company’s agreement with each of the Investors is a separate agreement, and the sale of the Shares and
the Warrants to each of the Investors is a separate sale.

 

1.6   Use
of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds from the sale of the Shares and Warrants set forth herein solely for working
capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

Section 2.             REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. The Company represents and warrants to each of the Investors that:

 

2.1   Organization,
Good Standing and Qualification. The Company has been duly incorporated and organized, and is validly existing and in good

and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Warrants (the “Transaction Agreements”), and
any other agreements contemplated by Transaction Agreements, to own and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its
business as currently conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. The Company is presently qualified to do business as
a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s assets or financial condition.

 

2.2   Due
Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its directors and stockholders necessary for the authorization,
execution, delivery, and performance of all obligations of the Company under the Transaction Agreements, the authorization, issuance,
reservation for issuance, and delivery of all of the Issuable Shares has been taken or shall be taken prior to the Closing, and
this Agreement constitutes, and the Warrants when executed and delivered shall constitute, valid and legally binding obligations
of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally
and (ii) the effect of rules of law governing the availability of equitable remedies, and shall be free of any liens, encumbrances,
or restrictions on transfer (other than those created or contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or under applicable state and/or
federal securities laws).

    	Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement; 04-2016	2 	 

     

    

 

2.4   Governmental
Consents. No consent, approval, order, or authorization of or registration, qualification, designation, declaration, or

Company to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Transaction Agreements except for such qualifications or filings
under applicable securities laws as may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which qualifications
or filings have been made or will be made promptly following the applicable Closing Date, in accordance with applicable law.

 

2.5   Noncontravention.
The execution, delivery, and performance of the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and by the Transaction Agreements shall not result in any such violation or default or be in conflict with or result
in a violation or breach of, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, the Company’s certificate
of incorporation or bylaws, any judgment, order, or decree of any court or arbitrator to which the Company is a party or is subject,
any agreement or contract of the Company, or, to the Company’s knowledge, a violation of any statute, law, regulation, or
order, or an event which results in the creation of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any asset of the Company.

 

2.6   SEC
Documents. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by
the Company with the SEC since January 1, 2014, pursuant to Sections 13(a), 14(a) and 15(d) of the of the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (collectively, the “SEC Documents”).
As of its respective filing date, each SEC Document complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such SEC Document, and did not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Except to the extent that information contained
in any SEC Document has been revised or superseded by a later filed SEC Document, none of the SEC Documents as of the date hereof
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the date
of this Agreement, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the SEC Documents is the subject of any ongoing review by the SEC.
The audited consolidated financial statements and the unaudited quarterly financial statements (including, in each case, the notes
thereto) of the Company included in the SEC Documents when filed complied as to form in all material respects with the published
rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in all material respects in accordance with United States
generally accepted accounting principles (except, in the case of unaudited quarterly statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the
SEC or other rules and regulations of the SEC) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated
in the notes thereto) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended
(subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly statements, to normal year-end adjustments).

 

Section 3.            REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF THE INVESTORS. Each Investor represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Company, severally and not
jointly and only with respect to itself, that:

 

    	Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement; 04-2016	3 	 

     

    

 

3.1   Authorization.
The Investor has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and this Agreement constitutes the Investor’s valid
and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms except (i) as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally, and (ii) as may be limited by the effect of rules of law governing the availability of equitable remedies.

 

3.2   Purchase
for Own Account. The Securities shall be acquired for investment for the Investor’s own account, not as a nominee
or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution of the Securities within the meaning of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting
any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. If other than an individual, the Investor also represents that it has
not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities.

 

3.3   Exempt
Offering. The Investor acknowledges that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and are being
offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part upon the representations
of the Investors contained in this Agreement.

 

3.4   Disclosure
of Information. The Investor believes that it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for
deciding whether to purchase any Securities pursuant to this Agreement. The Investor has had an opportunity to ask questions and
receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the business, properties,
prospects, and financial condition of the Company and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such
information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to the Investor
or to which the Investor had access.

 

3.5   Investment
Experience. The Investor has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges
that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Securities, and has such knowledge and
experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Securities.

 

3.6   Accredited
Investor Status. The Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect.

 

3.7   Restricted
Securities. The Investor understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under
the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being (or shall be) acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering
and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations under the Securities Act such Securities may be resold without registration
under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Investor represents that it is familiar
with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed by SEC Rule 144 and by the Securities
Act. The Investor understands that the Company is under no obligation to register any of the Securities sold under this Agreement
except as provided pursuant to Section 5.1. The Investor understands that no market now exists for any of the Securities,
and that it is uncertain whether a market, public or otherwise, shall ever exist for the Securities.

 

3.8   Further
Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Investor further agrees
not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until:

 

    	Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement; 04-2016	4 	 

     

    

 

(a)          there is
then in effect a Registration Statement (as defined below) covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance
with such Registration Statement; or

 

(b)          the Investor
shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a statement of the circumstances
surrounding the proposed disposition, and, if reasonably requested by the Company, the Investor shall, at the expense of the Investor
or its transferee, furnish the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition
shall not require registration of such Securities under the Securities Act.

 

Notwithstanding the provisions
of Subsections (a) and (b) above, no such Registration Statement or opinion of counsel shall be required for: any
transfer of any Securities by an Investor (i) pursuant to a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act, (ii) to any affiliate of such Investor, to a family member of such Investor, or to any trust, partnership, limited liability
company or custodianship established for estate-planning purposes for the primary benefit of such Investor or his or her family
members or (iii) if the Securities have been held for the appropriate amount of time for the Securities to be permitted to be resold
under Rule 144 and the selling Investor is not an affiliate or otherwise subject to the volume limitations in Rule 144; provided
that in each of the foregoing cases the transferee shall, prior to giving effect to such transfer, agree in writing to be subject
to the terms of this Section to the same extent as if the transferee were an original Investor under this Agreement.

 

3.9   Legends.
It is understood that the instruments evidencing the Securities shall bear legends substantially similar to the legends set forth
below (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):

 

(a)  “THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY
NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED FOR VALUE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, NOR MAY THE SECURITIES BE
TRANSFERRED ON THE BOOKS OF THE COMPANY, WITHOUT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER ALL APPLICABLE UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR COMPLIANCE WITH AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM, SUCH COMPLIANCE, AT THE OPTION OF THE COMPANY, TO BE
EVIDENCED BY AN OPINION OF SHAREHOLDER’S COUNSEL, IN A FORM ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT NO VIOLATION OF SUCH REGISTRATION
PROVISIONS WOULD RESULT FROM ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT.”

 

(b)          Any other
legends required by State Securities Laws applicable to any individual Investor or under any agreement to which the Investor is
a party to with the Company.

 

(c)          The legend
set forth in Section 3.9(a) shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate (or issue in an uncertificated form)
without such legend or any other legend to the Investors if (a) such Securities are sold pursuant to an effective Registration
Statement (provided that each of the Investors agrees to only sell such Securities during such time that the Registration Statement
is effective and not withdrawn or suspended, and only as permitted by the Registration Statement), (b) such Securities are sold
or transferred pursuant to, and in accordance with all requirements of, Rule 144 (including, if applicable, the volume, manner-of-sale
and notice filing provisions of Rule 144), or (c) such Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement
for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Securities and without
volume or manner-of-sale restrictions. The Company shall bear all costs incurred by it or an Investor relating to the removal of
the legend in accordance with this Section 3.9(c), provided that the Company shall not be liable for any transfer taxes
relating to the issuance of a new certificate or statement in the name of any person other than the relevant Investor and its affiliates.

as a result of or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or any breach of any of the representations, warranties, obligations, covenants
or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Agreement and (b) any Proceeding instituted against
an Investor in any capacity, or any of them or their respective affiliates, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Agreements (unless such Proceeding is based upon a misrepresentation by such Investor or a breach of such Investor’s
representations, warranties, obligations, covenants or agreements under any Transaction Agreement or any agreements or understandings
such Investor may have with any such shareholder or any violations by such Investor of state or federal securities laws or any
