Item 1.01.            Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Agreements with Holders of December 2014 Warrants

On June 25 and 26, 2015, Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into various agreements with holders of certain warrants originally issued in December 2014, pursuant to which the each holder separately agreed to exchange its warrant for two new warrants that, unlike the original warrant, do not contain any price or share reset provisions. Each new warrant is exercisable for the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock as the original warrant, at any time beginning December 2, 2015 and ending December 2, 2020. The exercise price of the first new warrant is $0.09 per share and the second new warrant is $0.11 per share but, aside from the exercise price, the new warrants are identical in terms to each other. As additional consideration, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of approximately 3.1 million shares of its common stock to the holders, pro rata based on the amount of shares underlying their original warrants. The holders further agreed to amend to the securities purchase agreement, dated December 2, 2014, that governed (among other things) the issuance of the original warrants. Effective June 26, 2015, the amendment removes the provisions in the securities purchase agreement prohibiting the Company from entering into “variable-rate transactions” or undertaking a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of its common stock without the consent of the holders.

In connection with the agreement with one of the holders, Magna Equities, II, LLC (“Magna”), on June 25, 2015 the Company also agreed to exchange an outstanding senior convertible note held by Magna for a new note, in stated principal amount equal to the then-outstanding principal on the original note. The new note has the same terms as the original note, except that (1) the new note cannot be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock until after the earlier of September 23, 2015 and the effectiveness of a registration statement registering for issuance or resale any or all of the securities issued in a capital-raising transaction that results in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $2,000,000 (such earlier date, the “Lockup End Date”); (2) the Company may redeem the new note prior to the Lockup End Date without advance notice to Magna; and (3) if the Company has not fully redeemed the new note pursuant to its terms by the Lockup End Date, the conversion discount will increase from 25% to 30%.

The above descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the form of letter agreement, the form of new warrant, the amendment agreement, the Magna exchange agreement, and the new note, attached as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 4.2, respectively, to this current report and incorporated herein by reference.

Secured Promissory Note

On June 16, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment agreement with Tonaquint, Inc. (“Amendment #4”), pursuant to which the terms of the secured promissory note issued to Tonaquint on September 10, 2014 (as subsequently amended, the “Note”) were amended to, among other things, extend the date upon which the balance of the Note is due to July 31, 2015, in exchange for granting Tonaquint the right to convert an additional $100,000 of the outstanding balance of the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock. In connection with Amendment #4, the parties agreed to increase the outstanding balance of the Note by $65,000. Separately, in response to Tonaquint’s most recent conversion notice delivered pursuant to the Note, the parties agreed to convert approximately $163,934.40 in outstanding balance subject to the conversion notice into 1,561,280 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.105 per share.

On June 29, 2015, the Company entered into another amendment agreement with Tonaquint (“Amendment #5”), pursuant to which the terms of the Note were further amended to, among other things, extend the date upon which the balance of the Note is due to August 31, 2016. Beginning August 1, 2015, each month Tonaquint will have the right to convert an additional $75,000 of the outstanding balance of the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms of the Note. If the conversion price would be lower than $0.15 per share, the Company continues to have the option of delivering the conversion amount in cash in lieu of shares. Tonaquint continues to be restricted from selling conversion shares in an amount exceeding the greater of (a) 15% of the Company’s weekly dollar trading volume in that week, or (b) $75,000. Tonaquint also continues to be prohibited from engaging in any “short sale” transactions in the Company’s common stock.

The above descriptions of Amendment #4 and Amendment #5 are qualified in their entirety by reference to Amendment #4 and Amendment #5, attached as Exhibits 10.4 and 10.5, respectively, to this current report and incorporated herein by reference.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

On June 29, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) for the issuance and sale to the Purchasers of an aggregate of 6,737 shares of the Company’s Series C convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $750 per share and a stated value of $1,000 per share, subject to the terms and conditions in the Purchase Agreement. In addition, the Purchasers will receive, on a pro rata basis, warrants (the “Series C Warrants”) exercisable to purchase an aggregate of approximately 106.4 million shares of Company’s common stock. The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are referred to herein as the “Private Placement”.

The Preferred Stock has the terms set forth in the Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock Designation”), which was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 29, 2015. Pursuant to the Preferred Stock Designation, shares of Preferred Stock will be convertible into the Company’s common stock by their holder at any time, and may be mandatorily convertible upon the achievement of specified average trading prices for the Company’s common stock. The initial conversion price is $0.095 per share, such that each share of Preferred Stock would convert into 10,526 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to customary adjustments, including for any accrued but unpaid dividends and pursuant to certain anti-dilution provisions, as set forth in the Preferred Stock Designation. The initial conversion price will automatically adjust downward to 80% of the then-current market price on each of the following dates: (1) five trading days after the effectiveness of the registration statement to be filed in connection with the first closing, pursuant to the registration rights agreement described below, (2) 20 trading days after the effectiveness of the registration statements to be filed in connection with the first and second closings, (3) 15 trading days after any reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, and (5) five trading days after any conversions of the Company’s outstanding convertible debt.

Holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to quarterly cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 12.0%, beginning October 1, 2015 and ending 42 months after the original issuance date (the “Dividend End Date”), payable in cash or, subject to certain conditions, the Company’s common stock. In addition, upon conversion of the Preferred Stock prior to the Dividend End Date, the Company will also pay to the converting holder a “make-whole payment” equal to the amount of unpaid dividends through the Dividend End Date on the converted Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock generally has no voting rights except as required by Delaware law. Upon the Company’s liquidation or sale to or merger with another corporation, each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled to a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends.

The Series C Warrants to be issued to the Purchasers will be exercisable at any time for the purchase of up to that number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 150% of the number of shares of common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, at an exercise price of $0.095 per share, subject to certain customary adjustments and anti-dilution provisions contained in the Series C Warrants. The Series C Warrants will have a five-year term for exercise.

The Purchase Agreement contemplates consummation of the Private Placement in two closings, the first of which is expected to occur on June 30, 2015. In the first closing, the Company expects to issue 3,334 shares of Preferred Stock and Series C Warrants exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 52,642,105 shares of common stock, for gross cash proceeds of $2,500,500. The second closing of the Private Placement is contingent upon, among other things, approval by the Company’s stockholders of an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation increasing the amount of authorized common stock available for issuance. At the second closing, certain Purchasers will be entitled to exchange outstanding shares of the Company’s Series B convertible preferred stock or outstanding promissory notes previously issued by the Company and held by such Purchasers in lieu of cash, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, on the same terms as each other Investor in the Private Placement. Gross cash proceeds to the Company in the second closing are expected to be $1,500,000.

Also on June 29, 2015 and in connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Purchasers pursuant to which the Company is obligated to file registration statements covering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of, or payment of dividends on, the Preferred Stock or upon exercise of the Series C Warrants.

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, a resale registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying the securities issued at the first closing (other than those designated by the Company to be covered by a second resale registration statement) must generally be declared effective by 45 days following the first closing or, in the event the registration statement is subjected to a full review by the Securities Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), 70 days after the first closing. A second resale registration statement, covering the shares of common stock underlying the securities issued at the second closing (as well as any shares underlying securities issued in the first closing but not covered by the first registration statement), must be declared effective in a similar timeframe after the second closing. The Company is obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep each registration statement continuously effective until the first anniversary of the date on which the registration statement is declared effective or such earlier date when all registrable securities have been sold or otherwise cease to be registrable securities.

Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (“Ladenburg”) acted as placement agent to the Company in connection with the Private Placement. For its services, the Company agreed to pay Ladenburg a cash placement fee equal to the 9% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Stock in the Private Placement. In addition to the cash fees, the Company agreed to issue to Ladenburg a warrant to purchase shares of common stock equal to an aggregate of 5% of the total number of conversion shares underlying the Preferred Stock sold in the Private Placement, at an exercise price per share of 125% of the per share equivalent paid in the Private Placement by the Purchasers. Finally, the Company agreed to reimburse Ladenburg for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the Preferred Stock Designation, the Series C Warrants, and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to each such document, filed as Exhibits 10.6, 3.1, 4.3 and 10.7, respectively, hereto, and are incorporated herein by reference.

A press release further describing the transaction is attached at Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

This current report on Form 8-K is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. The securities described above have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. In connection with the stockholder approval described above, the Company intends to file with the Commission and mail to its stockholders a proxy statement and other relevant materials. The proxy statement and other relevant materials will contain important information about the Company, the proposed amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, and related matters. Investors and stockholders are urged to read the proxy statement and the other relevant materials carefully when they become available because they will contain important information about the Company and the proposed amendment. Investors and stockholders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement and other documents filed with the SEC by the Company through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. In addition, investors and stockholders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement from the Company by contacting the Company. The Company and its executive officers and directors may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from its stockholders with respect to the proposed amendment. Information regarding their direct or indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, in the solicitation will be included in the proxy statement to be filed by the Company with the SEC.

The disclosure set forth under Item 1.01 of this Report under the caption “Agreements with Holders of December 2014 Warrants” is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Item 3.02           Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

The information set forth under Item 1.01 is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. Each issuance of securities described under the caption “Agreements with Holders of December 2014 Warrants” above was made by the Company in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, for securities exchanged by the issuer with its existing security holders exclusively where no commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange. The amended Note described under the caption “Senior Promissory Note” was, and the shares issued and issuable upon conversion will be, exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company made this determination based on the representations in the Amendment that Tonaquint is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D and has access to information about its investment and about the Company. The issuance of the securities described under the caption “Series C Convertible Preferred Stock” above pursuant to the Purchase Agreement has been conducted as a private placement to “accredited investors” (as that term is defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D), and is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.

(a)                Dividends Prior to Dividend End Date . From the Original Issue Date until the Dividend End Date, the Holders shall be entitled to receive, and the Corporation shall pay, cumulative dividends at the rate per share (as a percentage of the Stated Value per share) of 12% per annum , payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning on the first such date that is at least two months after the Original Issue Date and on each Conversion Date (with respect only to Preferred Stock being converted) (each such date, a “ Dividend Payment Date ”) (if any Dividend Payment Date is not a Trading Day, the applicable payment shall be due on the next succeeding Trading Day), subject to Equity Conditions and as more fully described below, in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (the dollar amount to be paid in shares of Common Stock, the “ Dividend Share Amount ”), or at the Corporation’s option, in cash. In addition, upon the conversion of Preferred Stock (other than a Forced Conversion) prior to the Dividend End Date, the Corporation shall also pay to the Holders of the Preferred Stock so converted cash, or at the Corporation’s option, subject to Equity Conditions and as more fully described in Section 3(d), in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, with respect to the Preferred Stock so converted an amount equal to $420 per $1,000 of Stated Value of the Preferred Stock, less the amount of any quarterly dividend paid on such Preferred Stock on or before the relevant Conversion Date (the “ Make-Whole Payment ”). The form of dividend payments and Make-Whole Payments to each Holder shall be determined in the following order of priority: (i) if the Equity Conditions have not been met as of the applicable Dividend Payment Date or Conversion Date, in cash only, (ii) if funds are legally available for the payment of dividends, and if the Equity Conditions have been met as of the during the Dividend Payment Date, at the election of the Corporation, in cash or shares of Common Stock which shall be valued at the Discounted Market Price, (iii) if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends, and the Equity Conditions have been met as of the applicable Dividend Payment Date, in shares of Common Stock which shall be valued at the Discounted Market Price, (iv) if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Condition relating to an effective Registration Statement has been waived by such Holder, as to such Holder only, in unregistered shares of Common Stock which shall be valued at the Discounted Market Price or (v) if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends and the Equity Conditions have not been met as of the applicable Dividend Payment Date, then, at the election of such Holder, such dividends or Make-Whole Payments, as applicable, shall accrue to the next Dividend Payment Date or shall be accreted to, and increase, the outstanding Stated Value.

(b)               Dividends After Dividend End Date . From and after Dividend End Date, Holders shall be entitled to receive, and the Corporation shall pay, dividends on shares of Preferred Stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis) to and in the same form as dividends (other than dividends in the form of Common Stock) actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as and if such dividends (other than dividends in the form of Common Stock) are paid on shares of the Common Stock. Other than as set forth in the previous sentence, no other dividends shall be paid on shares of Preferred Stock; and the Corporation shall pay no dividends (other than dividends in the form of Common Stock) on shares of the Common Stock unless it simultaneously complies with the previous sentence. At the election of the Holder, any unpaid dividends hereunder shall be accreted to, and shall increase, the outstanding Stated Value.

(c)                Corporation’s Ability to Pay Dividends and Make-Whole Payments in Cash or Kind . On the Closing Date, the Corporation shall have notified the Holders whether or not it may legally pay cash dividends and Make-Whole Payments as of the Closing Date. If at any time the Corporation has the right to pay dividends in cash or shares of Common Stock, the Corporation must provide the Holders with at least five (5) Trading Days’ notice of its election to pay a regularly scheduled dividend in cash or through the issuance of shares of Common Stock (the Corporation may indicate in such notice that the election contained in such notice shall continue for later periods until revised by a subsequent notice), and with respect to a Make-Whole Payment, the Corporation shall notify a Holder on either (i) the date it receives the applicable Notice of Conversion, if such Notice of Conversion is received by 10:00 AM Eastern Time on such date, or (ii) on the Business Day immediately following the date it receives the applicable Notice of Conversion, if such Notice of Conversion is received after 10:00 AM Eastern Time on such date, whether it elects to make such payment in cash or through the issuance of shares of Common Stock (the Corporation may indicate in such notice that the election contained in such notice shall continue for later periods until revised by a subsequent notice).

(d)               Other Securities . So long as any Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding, without the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall not redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly more than a de minimis amount of any Junior Securities, other than as to repurchases of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents from officers or directors for tax withholding purposes or related to their departure, provided that, while any of the Preferred Stock remains outstanding, such repurchases shall not exceed an aggregate of $100,000 for any fiscal year from all officers and directors.

(e)                Dividend Calculations . Dividends on the Preferred Stock shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve (12) thirty (30) calendar day periods, and shall accrue daily commencing on the Original Issue Date, and shall be deemed to accrue from such date whether or not earned or declared. Payment of dividends in shares of Common Stock shall otherwise occur pursuant to Section 6(b)(i) and, solely for purposes of the payment of dividends in shares, the Dividend Payment Date shall be deemed the Conversion Date. Dividends shall cease to accrue with respect to any Preferred Stock converted, provided that, the Corporation actually delivers the Conversion Shares within the time period required by Section 6(b)(i). Except as otherwise provided herein, if at any time the Corporation pays dividends partially in cash and partially in shares, such payment shall be distributed ratably among the Holders based upon the number of shares of Preferred Stock held by each Holder on such Dividend Payment Date.

(f)                Special Reserves . The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the capital of the Corporation (as such term is used in Section 154 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) in respect of the Preferred Stock and any future issuances of the Corporation’s capital stock shall be equal to the aggregate par value of such Preferred Stock or capital stock, as the case may be, and that, on or after the date of the Purchase Agreement, it shall not increase the capital of the Corporation with respect to any shares of the Corporation’s capital stock issued and outstanding on such date. The Corporation also acknowledges and agrees that it shall not create any special reserves under Section 171 of the Delaware General Corporation Law without the prior written consent of each Holder.

Section 4.                Voting Rights . Except as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise required by law, the Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate of Designation, (b) authorize or create any class of stock ranking as to dividends, redemption or distribution of assets upon a Liquidation (as defined in Section 5) senior to, or otherwise pari passu with, the Preferred Stock, (c) amend its certificate of incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the Holders, (d) increase the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock, or (e) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

Section 5.                Liquidation . Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “ Liquidation ”), the Holders shall be entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Corporation an amount equal to the Stated Value, plus any other fees, liquidated damages or dividends then due and owing thereon under this Certificate of Designation, for each share of Preferred Stock before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities, and if the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed among the Holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full. A Bankruptcy Event shall be deemed a Liquidation. The Corporation shall mail written notice of any such Liquidation, not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each Holder.

Section 6.                Conversion .

(a)                Conversions at Option of Holder . Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date at the option of the Holder thereof, into that number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(c)) determined by dividing the Stated Value of such share of Preferred Stock by the Conversion Price. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “ Notice of Conversion ”). Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned prior to the conversion at issue, the number of shares of Preferred Stock owned subsequent to the conversion at issue and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the applicable Holder delivers by facsimile such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation (such date, the “ Conversion Date ”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion to the Corporation is deemed delivered hereunder. No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. To effect conversions of shares of Preferred Stock, a Holder shall not be required to surrender the certificate(s) representing the shares of Preferred Stock to the Corporation unless all of the shares of Preferred Stock represented thereby are so converted, in which case such Holder shall deliver the certificate representing such shares of Preferred Stock promptly following the Conversion Date at issue. Shares of Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued.

(b)               Mechanics of Conversion

(i)                 Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion . Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder (A) a certificate or certificates (which, to the extent permitted by Section 4.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock (including shares of Common Stock as payment of accrued and unpaid dividends and the Make-Whole Payment, if the Corporation has elected or is required to pay the Make-Whole Payment and/or accrued dividends in shares of Common Stock) and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends and the Make-Whole Payment, if the Corporation has elected or is required to pay the Make-Whole Payment and/or accrued dividends in cash. The Corporation shall use its best efforts to deliver the Conversion Shares electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

(ii)               Share Delivery Failure . If the Corporation shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue and deliver to the Holder on the Share Delivery Date, in accordance with this Section 6, all Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled (a “ Conversion Failure ”), and if on or after such Share Delivery Date but before the Corporation issues and delivers to the Holder such Conversion Shares the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Corporation, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Corporation shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s sole discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver such shares of Common Stock shall terminate, the Conversion Failure shall be deemed cured, and the Stated Value shall be adjusted as though the Corporation had honored its obligation to issue and deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to issue and deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares, in accordance with this Section 6, and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) the number of Conversion Shares that the Corporation failed to issue and deliver multiplied by (B) the Closing Bid Price on the applicable Share Delivery Date, at which point the Conversion Failure shall be deemed cured and the outstanding Stated Value shall be adjusted to reflect that the Corporation honored its obligation to issue and deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares. Furthermore, upon any Conversion Failure, the Corporation shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each one thousand dollars ($1,000) of Stated Value of Preferred Stock being converted, ten dollars ($10) per Trading Day (increasing to twenty dollars ($20) per Trading Day on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Share Delivery Date until such Conversion Shares are issued and delivered in accordance with this Section 6 (or the obligation to issue and deliver such shares is terminated in accordance with the foregoing sentence). Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares by the applicable Share Delivery Date and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

(iii)             Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion . The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Preferred Stock), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and payment of dividends hereunder. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, if the Registration Statement is then effective under the Securities Act, shall be registered for public resale in accordance with such Registration Statement (subject to such Holder’s compliance with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement).

(iv)             Fractional Shares . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock, and instead the number of shares issued shall be rounded down to the next whole share. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price.

(v)               Transfer Taxes and Expenses . The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid. The Corporation shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion.

(c)                Beneficial Ownership Limitation . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere herein, the number of Conversion Shares that may be acquired by a Holder upon any conversion of this Preferred Stock (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following such conversion (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 4.999% of the total number of then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion), it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Corporation is not representing to such Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and such Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6(c) applies, the determination of whether this Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder) and of which portion of this Preferred Stock is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 6(c), 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 (x) the Corporation’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (z) any other notice by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Corporation shall within three (3) Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in Section 8. By written notice to the Corporation, which will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation, a Holder may waive the provisions of this Section 6(c) (but such waiver will not affect any other Holder) to change the beneficial ownership limitation to 9.999% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Preferred Stock, and the provisions of this Section 6(c) shall continue to apply. Upon such a change by a Holder of the beneficial ownership limitation from such 4.999% limitation to such 9.999% limitation, the beneficial ownership limitation may not be further waived by such Holder.

(d)               Forced Conversion. Subject to the limitations of Section 6(c), if the VWAP for each Trading Day during any twenty (20) of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Day period while one or more Registration Statements filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement shall be effective and the prospectus contained therein shall be available for the resale by the Holder of all of the Registrable Securities (such twenty (20) consecutive Trading Day period, the “ Threshold Period ”), exceeds 250% of the highest Conversion Price in effect during such Threshold Period (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits and the like) the Corporation may, within five (5) Trading Days after the end of any such Threshold Period, deliver a written notice to all Holders (a “ Forced Conversion Notice ” and the date such notice is delivered to all Holders, the “ Forced Conversion Notice Date ”) to cause each Holder to convert all or part of such Holder’s Preferred Stock (as specified in such Forced Conversion Notice) plus all liquidated damages and other amounts due in respect of the Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6, it being agreed that the “Conversion Date” for purposes of this Section 6 shall be deemed to occur on the third Trading Day following the Forced Conversion Notice Date (such third Trading Day, the “ Forced Conversion Date ”). The Corporation may not deliver a Forced Conversion Notice, and any Forced Conversion Notice delivered by the Corporation shall not be effective, unless all of the Equity Conditions have been met on each Trading Day during the applicable Threshold Period through and including the later of the Forced Conversion Date and the Trading Day after the date that the Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to such conversion are actually delivered to the Holders pursuant to the Forced Conversion Notice. Any Forced Conversion Notices shall be applied ratably to all of the Holders based on number of shares of Preferred Stock originally purchased by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, provided that any voluntary conversions by a Holder shall be applied against such Holder’s pro rata allocation, thereby decreasing the aggregate amount forcibly converted hereunder if less than all shares of the Preferred Stock are forcibly converted. For purposes of clarification, a Forced Conversion shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Section 6, including, without limitation, the provisions requiring payment of liquidated damages and limitations on conversions. For purposes of clarity, the Holder shall have the right to convert this Preferred Stock at any time and from time to time, including during any Threshold Period.

Section 7.                Certain Adjustments .

(a)                Stock Dividends and Stock Splits . If the Corporation, at any time while this Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents (other than Common Stock issued as dividends on or upon the conversion of this Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

(b)               Subsequent Equity Sales .

(i)                 For so long as any Preferred Stock is outstanding, if the Corporation shall issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (as actually issued or, pursuant to paragraph (ii) below, deemed to be issued) for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale, then immediately upon such issue or sale the Conversion Price shall automatically be adjusted to a price equal to the price paid per share in such sale or issue.

(ii)               For the purposes of the paragraph (i) above, none of the following issuances (each, an “ Exempt Issuance ”) shall be considered the issuance or sale of Common Stock:

(E)              the issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents in full or partial consideration in connection with a bona fide strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of all or substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity, so long as such issuance is not for the primary purpose of raising capital by the Corporation;

(C)              In case at any time any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or any rights or options to purchase any such Common Stock, or Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Corporation therefor. In case any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or any rights or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Corporation shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration as determined by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

(c)                Subsequent Rights Offerings . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 7(a) above, if at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “ Purchase Rights ”), then the Holder of will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of such Holder’s Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

(d)               Pro Rata Distributions . During such time as this Preferred Stock is outstanding, if the Corporation shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Preferred Stock, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution ( provided , however , to the extent that the Holder's right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

(e)                Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Preferred Stock is outstanding (i) the Corporation effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person, in which the Corporation is not the survivor or the stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such merger or consolidation do not own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the voting securities of the surviving entity, (ii) the Corporation effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets or a majority of its Common Stock is acquired by a third party, in each case, in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which all or substantially all of the holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Corporation effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 7(a) above) (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, subject to Section 6(c) (including with respect to the beneficial ownership of securities of any successor to the Corporation, surviving entity or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or Person (the “ Successor Entity ”) as a result of the Fundamental Transaction) the Holder shall receive, upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion in full of this Preferred Stock without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein (the “ Alternate Consideration ”), and the Holder shall promptly thereafter return the certificate for such Holder’s Preferred Stock to the Corporation (or Successor Entity) for cancelation. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Preferred Stock in connection with such Fundamental Transaction. The Corporation shall not effect any such Fundamental Transaction unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, the Successor Entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder, such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations under this Preferred Stock. To the extent Section 6(c) would otherwise limit the amount of Alternate Consideration payable to the Holder under this Section 8(a), the Corporation (or Successor Entity, as applicable) shall pay to the Holder the cash equivalent of the fair market value of such Alternate Consideration, but only to the extent of such limitation under Section 6(c). Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Corporation” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Corporation and shall assume all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate of Designation and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Corporation herein.

(f)                Calculations . All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

(g)               Notice to the Holders .

(i)                 Adjustment to Conversion Price . Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7 or pursuant to the definition of “Conversion Price” contained in Section 1, the Corporation shall, as promptly as practicable but in no event later than five (5) calendar days following such adjustment, deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

(ii)               Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder . If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Corporation or any of the Subsidiaries, the Corporation shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert the Conversion Amount of this Preferred Stock (or any part hereof) during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 8.                Miscellaneous.

(a)                Notices . Whenever notice is required to be given hereunder, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 6.3 of the Purchase Agreement.

(c)                Lost or Mutilated Preferred Stock Certificate . If a Holder’s Preferred Stock certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a new certificate for the shares of Preferred Stock so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate, and of the ownership hereof reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation.

(d)               Waiver . Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder of a breach of any provision of this Certificate of Designation shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Certificate of Designation or a waiver by any other Holders. The failure of the Corporation or a Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Certificate of Designation on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party (or any other Holder) of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Certificate of Designation on any other occasion. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder must be in writing.

(e)                Severability . If any provision of this Certificate of Designation is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Certificate of Designation shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.

(f)                Next Business Day . Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(g)               Headings . The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Certificate of Designation and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

(h)               Status of Converted or Redeemed Preferred Stock . Shares of Preferred Stock may only be issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If any shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted, redeemed or reacquired by the Corporation, such shares shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and shall no longer be designated as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

This Common Stock Purchase Warrant (this “ Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received, _____________ or its assigns (the “ Holder ”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after December 2, 2015 (the “ Initial Exercise Date ”) and on or prior to the close of business on the Termination Date listed on the table above (the “ Termination Date ”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from GUIDED THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), up to that number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), listed in the table above (the “ Warrant Shares ”). This Warrant was issued pursuant to an agreement, dated as of June 26, 2015, by and between the Holder and the Company, in exchange for a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase _______ shares of Common Stock originally issued on the Date of Initial Issuance pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

1.        Definitions . Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 26, 2014, between the Company and the purchasers identified on the signature pages thereto (the “ Purchase Agreement ”).

2.        Exercise .

(a)      Exercise of Warrant . Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the attached Notice of Exercise Form (the date such Notice of Exercise is received by the Company, the “ Warrant Exercise Date ”); and, within three days of trading on the principal market or exchange on which the Common Stock trades (such market or exchange, the “ Trading Market ” and each such day, a “ Trading Day ”) of the Warrant Exercise Date, receipt of payment by the Company of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank or, if available, pursuant to the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder will not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and this Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancelation within three Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(b)      Exercise Price . The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the exercise price listed in the table above, subject to adjustment as provided in this Warrant (the “ Exercise Price ”).

(c)      Cashless Exercise . If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder, then this Warrant may only be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a cashless exercise in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

VWAP ” means, for any security as of any date, the dollar volume-weighted average price for such security on a Trading Market (or, if a Trading Market is not the principal trading market for such security, then on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which such security is then traded) during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time, and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg through its “Volume at Price” function or, if the foregoing does not apply, the dollar volume-weighted average price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time, and ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no dollar volume-weighted average price is reported for such security by Bloomberg for such hours, the average of the highest closing bid price and the lowest closing ask price of any of the market makers for such security as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc. If VWAP cannot be calculated for such security on such date on any of the foregoing bases, the VWAP of such security on such date will be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. If the Company and the Holder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then the fair market value will be determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which the Company shall pay. All such determinations will be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during such period.

(d)      Mechanics of Exercise .

(i)        Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise . The Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to transmit the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to Holder, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise, by the date that is three Trading Days after the Warrant Exercise Date (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”), provided that the Holder has paid any required Exercise Price for the portion of this Warrant being exercised on or prior to such Warrant Share Delivery Date. This Warrant will be deemed to have been exercised on the Warrant Exercise Date. The Warrant Shares will be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the Warrant Exercise Date, once Holder has paid to the Company the Exercise Price (or paid via cashless exercise, if permitted) and paid all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares.

(ii)      Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise . If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of the Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant will in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

(iii)     Rescission Rights . If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then, the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

(iv)    Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise . In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date and the Holder has paid any required Exercise Price for the portion of this Warrant being exercised on or prior to such Warrant Share Delivery Date (including by cashless exercise, if permitted pursuant to Section 2(c)), and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall, within five Trading Days, (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including reasonable brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(v)      No Fractional Shares or Scrip . The Company shall not issue fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share that the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

(vi)    Charges, Taxes and Expenses . The Company shall not charge the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or, if permitted by applicable law, in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder. If Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, then this Warrant when surrendered for exercise must be accompanied by the attached Assignment Form duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental to such assignment.

(vii)   Closing of Books . The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner that prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant pursuant to its terms.

(e)      Holder’s Exercise Limitations . The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s “affiliates” (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933), and any other persons acting as a “group” (as such term is defined in Regulation 13D/G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “ Exchange Act ”) together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates will include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but will exclude the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below)) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates, to the extent not being converted or exercised at the time at which such determination is made. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership will be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Holder acknowledges that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable will be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise will be deemed to be the Holder’s determination that this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates), to the extent to be exercise pursuant to such Notice of Exercise, in accordance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company will have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and will have no liability for exercises of this Warrant that are in non-compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above will be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding as established by clauses (A), (B), or (C), as applicable. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock will be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only be effective with regard to such Holder. The provisions of this Section 2(e) will be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this section (or any portion hereof) that may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 2(e) will apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. “ Common Stock Equivalents ” means any securities of the Company or the Subsidiaries that would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock.

(f)       Call Provision . Provided that there has been no adjustment of the Exercise Price or the number of Warrants under Section 3(b) hereunder:

(i)        Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Warrant to the contrary, on any date following the issuance of this Warrant that the closing bid price per share of Common Stock as traded on the Trading Market equals or exceeds two times the Exercise Price (appropriately adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or other reclassification or combination of the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof) for 20 consecutive Trading Days (“Demand Condition One”), the Company may deliver notice to the Holder demanding exercise by the Holder for up to half of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant on such date (such notice, a “ Demand Notice ”); provided, however, that if, on such date, (A) there is not an effective registration statement pursuant to which the Holder is able to sell the Warrant Shares, or (B) the Warrant Shares are not then eligible to be sold without restriction under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 (“ Rule 144 ”), then such date shall be delayed until after such time that either (X) there is such an effective Registration Statement, or (Y) the Warrant Shares are eligible to be sold without restriction under Rule 144; provided that Demand Condition One is still satisfied on the date of (X) or (Y) above. Upon receipt of a Demand Notice, the Holder shall, no later than ten Trading Days after receipt of such notice, exercise this Warrant pursuant this Section 2. Should the Holder not timely exercise this Warrant subsequent to receipt of the Demand Notice as required by this Section 2(f)(i), the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be reduced by that portion of this Warrant that is subject to the Demand Notice, without any further action of the Company or the Holder.

(ii)      Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Warrant to the contrary, on any date following the issuance of this Warrant that the closing bid price per share of Common Stock as traded on the Trading Market equals or exceeds 2.5 times the Exercise Price (appropriately adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or other reclassification or combination of the Common Stock occurring after the date hereof) for 20 consecutive Trading Days (“Demand Condition Two”) , the Company may deliver a Demand Notice to the Holder; provided, however, that if, on such date, (A) there is not an effective registration statement pursuant to which the Holder is able to sell the Warrant Shares, or (B) the Warrant Shares are not then eligible to be sold without restriction under Rule 144, then such date shall be delayed until after such time that either (X) there is such an effective Registration Statement, or (Y) the Warrant Shares are eligible to be sold without restriction under Rule 144; provided that Demand Condition Two is still satisfied on the date of (X) or (Y) above. Upon receipt of a Demand Notice, the Holder shall, no later than ten Trading Days after receipt of such notice, exercise this Warrant pursuant this Section 2. Should the Holder not timely exercise this Warrant subsequent to receipt of the Demand Notice as required by this Section 2(f)(ii), this Warrant shall, without any further action of the Company or the Holder, expire and have no further force or effect.

3.        Certain Adjustments .

(a)      Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, will not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price will be adjusted to an amount equal to the Exercise Price immediately before such event multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant will remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) will become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and will become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

(b)      [Reserved]

(c)      Subsequent Rights Offerings . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a), if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “ Purchase Rights ”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights that the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights ( provided , however , to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder will not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent will be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

(d)      Pro Rata Distributions . During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder will be entitled following partial or complete exercise of this Warrant to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon such partial or complete exercise of this Warrant, as applicable (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution ( provided , however , to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder will not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution will be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). In addition, to the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completed exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion of the Distribution will be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until the Holder has exercised this Warrant.

(e)      Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person (other than for the purpose of changing the name of the Company or changing the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation to another state within the United States), (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of at least 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions, effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a securities purchase or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such securities purchase or other business combination) (each a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, subject to the agreement of any counterparty to the Fundamental Transaction, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder will have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction that is (1) an all cash transaction (meaning (x) all outstanding shares of Common Stock prior to the Fundamental Transaction are converted into or exchanged or tendered for cash or (y) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions for all cash consideration), (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, or (3) a Fundamental Transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange or other established trading market, including, but not limited to, the NYSE, the NYSE MKT, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the OTC QX, the OTC QB or the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (a “ Non-listed Company ”) in which all outstanding shares of Common Stock prior to the Fundamental Transaction are converted into or exchanged or tendered for shares of such Non-listed Company, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction. “ Black Scholes Value ” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“ Bloomberg ”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “ Successor Entity ”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

(f)       Calculations . All calculations under this Section 3 will be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date will be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

(g)      Notice to Holder .

(i)        Adjustment to Exercise Price . Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

If, during the term in which this Warrant is exercisable by Holder, (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a current report on Form 8-K.

(c)      Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc . If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein is not a business day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding business day.

(d)      Authorized Shares . During the period the Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.

The Company shall take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. All Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will, upon such exercise and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

(g)      Nonwaiver and Expenses .

Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if a party willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the other party, the offending party shall pay to the offended party such amounts as are sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the offended party in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

(h)      Notices . Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company must be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

(i)        Limitation of Liability . No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of Holder, shall give rise to any liability of Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

(j)       Remedies . The parties, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The parties acknowledge that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agree to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(m)    Severability . Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice (whether via facsimile or otherwise) (the “ Share Delivery Deadline ”), a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (as the case may be) (a “ Conversion Failure ”) then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (1) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such Share Delivery Deadline that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to 2% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on a timely basis and to which the Holder is entitled multiplied by (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Holder without violating Section ‎3(c)(i) and (2) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company delivered at any time after the earlier of (x) ten (10) Trading Days after the Conversion Date or (y) any date on or after the Conversion Date that an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned (as the case may be) any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice, provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section ‎3(c)(ii) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or credit the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be), and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon such conversion that the Holder so anticipated receiving from the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Holder’s written request and in the Holder’s discretion, either: (I) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (II) solely if on or after the third (3 rd ) Trading Day following the Share Delivery Deadline, promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (x) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (y) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (II) (the remedies set forth in clauses (I) and (II), collectively, the “ Buy-In Remedies ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Holder voids the applicable Conversion Notice on or after the Share Delivery Deadline and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon such conversion that the Holder so anticipated receiving from the Company prior to voiding such Conversion Notice and the Company has not satisfied any of the Buy-In Remedies with respect to such Conversion Notice, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, but in lieu of the Company’s obligation to satisfy the Buy-In Remedies above with respect to such Conversion Notice, the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Holder’s written request, pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the difference of (x) Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder), less (y) the Conversion Amount with respect to such Conversion Notice.

(iii)             Book-Entry . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section ‎3, following conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted (in which event this Note shall be delivered to the Company following conversion thereof as contemplated by Section ‎3(c)(i)) or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note or (C) no more than once in any six month period, the Company elects to issue a New Note pursuant to Section 17(d). The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal, Interest and Late Charges converted and/or paid and/or adjusted (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions and/or payments and/or adjustments (as the case may be) or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion.

(iv)             Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes . In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section ‎22.

(d)               Limitations on Conversions . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, this Note shall not be convertible by the Holder hereof, and the Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note or otherwise issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto, to the extent (but only to the extent) that after giving effect to such conversion or other share issuance hereunder the Holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the Common Stock. To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether this Note shall be convertible (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates) and of which such securities shall be convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by the Holder and its affiliates) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to convert this Note, or to issue shares of Common Stock, pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. For purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Note. The holders of Common Stock shall be third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and the Company may not waive this paragraph without the consent of holders of a majority of its Common Stock. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Note or securities issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

(xi)             any Event of Default (as defined in the Other Notes) occurs with respect to any Other Notes;

(xii)           the Company’s (A) failure to cure a Conversion Failure by delivery of the required number of shares of Common Stock within ten (10) Trading Days after the applicable Conversion Date or (B) written notice or public announcement, at any time, of its intention not to comply in the future with a request for conversion of this Note or any Other Notes into shares of Common Stock that may be tendered in accordance with the provisions of this Note or the Other Notes, other than pursuant to Section 3(d) (and analogous provisions under the Other Notes);

(xiii)         the Company fails to remove any restrictive legend on any certificate or any shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder (or its designee) via DTC for transfer to a transferee in connection with the resale of such shares of Common Stock to a transferee following the conversion or exercise (as the case may be) of any Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) acquired by the Holder under the Securities Purchase Agreement (including this Note) as and when required by such Securities or the Securities Purchase Agreement, unless otherwise then prohibited by applicable federal securities laws, and any such failure remains uncured for at least ten (10) Trading Days; or

(xiv)         any Change of Control or Going-Private Event occurs.

(b)               Notice of an Event of Default; Redemption Right . Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to this Note, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (with next day delivery specified) (an “ Event of Default Notice ”) to the Holder. At any time after the earlier of the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default, the Holder may require the Company to redeem, at any time during the period commencing on the date the Holder first becomes aware of such Event of Default through and including the twentieth Trading Day after the later of (x) the date the Holder receives the applicable Event of Default Notice with respect thereto and (y) the date such Event of Default has been cured, all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (the “ Event of Default Redemption Notice ”) to the Company, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Note the Holder is electing to redeem. Each portion of this Note subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section ‎4(b) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount to be redeemed multiplied by (B) the Redemption Premium and (ii) the product of (X) the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount in effect at such time as the Holder delivers an Event of Default Redemption Notice multiplied by (Y) the product of (1) the Redemption Premium multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such Event of Default and ending on the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under this Section ‎4(b) (the “ Event of Default Redemption Price ”). Redemptions required by this Section ‎4(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section ‎10. To the extent redemptions required by this Section ‎4(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section ‎4, but subject to Section ‎3(d), until the Event of Default Redemption Price (together with any Late Charges thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section ‎4(b) (together with any Late Charges thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Note. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section ‎4(b), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section ‎4(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

5.                  RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION; OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS .

(a)                Assumption . The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section ‎5‎(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder without unreasonable delay prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Notes in exchange for such Notes a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Notes, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal to the principal amounts then outstanding and the interest rates of the Notes held by such holder, having similar conversion rights as the Notes and having similar ranking to the Notes, and satisfactory to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of this Note at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Section ‎14, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter) issuable upon the conversion or redemption of the Notes prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) or other consideration received by the holders of Common Stock which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Note been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section ‎5(a) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Note.

(b)               Other Corporate Events . In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “ Corporate Event ”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.

(c)                The provisions of this Section ‎5 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note.

6.                  [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

7.                  NONCIRCUMVENTION . The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), Bylaws (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder of this Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion of this Note above the Conversion Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note, and (iii) shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Notes, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of the Notes then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversion).

8.                  RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES .

(a)                Reservation . So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Notes, a number of shares of Common Stock, as of any date of determination, for each of the Notes in accordance with the following formula:

P
------------------ x 2.5 = Share Reserve

(T x B)

P = The aggregate Purchase Price (as defined the Securities Purchase Agreement) of the Notes issued on or prior to such date of determination;

T = The applicable Conversion Price as of such date of determination;

B = 0.85;

provided, that, the Share Reserve shall in no event be less than 150% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all of the Notes then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the “ Required Reserve Amount ”).

(b)               Insufficient Authorized Shares . If, notwithstanding Section ‎8‎(a), and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Notes remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Notes at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “ Authorized Share Failure ”), then the Company shall immediately take all action reasonably necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Notes then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than seventy-five (75) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock upon any conversion due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “ Authorization Failure Shares ”), in lieu of delivering such Authorization Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the redemption of such portion of the Conversion Amount convertible into such Authorized Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorization Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such Authorization Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section ‎8(b) and (ii) to the extent the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Authorization Failure Shares, any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith. Nothing contained in Section ‎8(a) or this Section ‎8(b) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

9.                  Company Optional Redemption . At any time after the Issuance Date, the Company shall have the right to redeem all, or any part, of the Conversion Amount then remaining under this Note (the “ Company Optional Redemption Amount ”) on the Company Optional Redemption Date (as defined below) (a “ Company Optional Redemption ”). The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section ‎9 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (the “ Company Optional Redemption Price ”) equal to 125% of the Company Optional Redemption Amount of this Note then outstanding. The Company may exercise its right to require redemption under this Section ‎9 by delivering an irrevocable written notice thereof to the Holder (the “ Company Optional Redemption Notice ” and the date the Holder receives such notice is referred to as the “ Company Optional Redemption Notice Date ”). The Company may deliver only one Company Optional Redemption Notice in any ninety (90) day period, unless the Holder consents otherwise in its sole discretion. The Company Optional Redemption Notice shall (x) state the date on which the Company Optional Redemption shall occur (the “ Company Optional Redemption Date ”) which date, unless the Holder consents otherwise in its sole discretion, shall not be less than sixty (60) calendar days nor more than ninety (90) calendar days following the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date, and (y) state the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Notes which is being redeemed in such Company Optional Redemption from the Holder pursuant to this Section ‎9 on the Company Optional Redemption Date; provided, however, that such date restrictions shall not apply to any Company Options Reemption Notice delivered prior to the Lockup End Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time prior to the date the Company Optional Redemption Price is paid, in full, the Company Optional Redemption Amount may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section ‎3. All Conversion Amounts converted by the Holder after the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date shall reduce the Company Optional Redemption Amount of this Note required to be redeemed on the Company Optional Redemption Date. Redemptions made pursuant to this Section ‎9 shall be made in accordance with Section ‎10.

10.              REDEMPTIONS .

(a)                Mechanics . The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder in cash within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice. The Company shall deliver the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price to the Holder in cash on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Conversion Amount of this Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section ‎17(d)) representing the outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed. The Holder’s delivery of a notice voiding a Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments of Late Charges which have accrued prior to the date of such notice with respect to the Conversion Amount subject to such notice.

11.              VOTING RIGHTS . The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Note, except as required by law (including, without limitation, the Delaware General Corporation Law) and as expressly provided in this Note.

The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “ Warrant Register ”), in the name of the record Holder (which shall include the initial Holder or, as the case may be, any registered assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder) from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

3.        Registration of Transfers . Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement and compliance with all applicable securities laws, the Company shall register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached as Schedule 2 hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company’s transfer agent or to the Company at its address specified in the Purchase Agreement and (x) delivery, at the request of the Company, of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the transfer of such portion of this Warrant may be made pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and all applicable state securities or blue sky laws and (y) delivery by the transferee of a written statement to the Company, at the Company’s address specified in the Purchase Agreement, (i) certifying that the transferee is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, (ii) making the representations and certifications set forth in Sections 3.2(b), (c) and (d) of the Purchase Agreement, and (iii) at all times prior to the effectiveness of the Charter Amendment, agreeing to be bound, as a Purchaser, by Section 14.15 of the Purchase Agreement. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “ New Warrant ”) evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee, and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the New Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense any New Warrant under this Section 3 .

 

4.       Exercise Price, Exercise and Duration of Warrants .

 

(a) The “ Exercise Price ” of this Warrant shall be $0.095 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

 

(b) Subject to Section 14.15 of the Purchase Agreement, all or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any manner permitted by Section 10 at any time and from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date and through and including 5:30 P.M. New York City time, on the Expiration Date. At 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value and this Warrant shall be terminated and no longer outstanding.

 

(c) The Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached as Schedule 1 (the “ Exercise Notice ”), completed and duly signed and delivered in accordance with Section 13 , and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the Exercise Notice and if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10 ). The date on which the Exercise Notice is delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “ Exercise Date .” No medallion guarantee (or any other type of guarantee or notarization) or ink-original of any Exercise Notice shall be required for a proper exercise by a Holder of this Warrant. The delivery by (or on behalf of) the Holder of the Exercise Notice and the applicable Exercise Price as provided above shall constitute the Holder’s certification to the Company that its representations contained in Sections 3.2(b), (c) and (d) of the Purchase Agreement are true and correct as of the Exercise Date as if remade in their entirety (or, in the case of any transferee Holder that is not a party to the Purchase Agreement, such transferee Holder’s certification to the Company that such representations are true and correct as to such assignee Holder as of the Exercise Date). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder; provided , however , that the Holder shall deliver the original Warrant following the exercise by the Holder for the last of the Warrant Shares as to which such Warrant permits the Holder to purchase, and if the Warrant is not so delivered following such exercise then such exercise shall constitute an agreement by the Holder to deliver the original Warrant to the Company as soon as practicable thereafter. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

 

5.      Delivery of Warrant Shares .

 

(a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Trading Days after the Exercise Date (“ Warrant Exercise Date ”), provided that payment of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares has been made in any manner permitted by Section 10 by the close of the second (2 nd ) Trading Day after the Exercise Date and further provided that the Exercise Notice has not been withdrawn pursuant to Section 14.15 of the Purchase Agreement, issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate (provided that, if the Registration Statement is not effective and the Holder directs the Company to deliver a certificate for the Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate of the Holder, it shall deliver to the Company on the Exercise Date an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the issuance of such Warrant Shares in such other name may be made pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and all applicable state securities or blue sky laws), (i) a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends, or (ii) an electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares to the Holder’s account at the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) or a similar organization, unless in the case of clause (i) and (ii) a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without restriction under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (such transferability without restriction to be evidenced by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company) by Holders who are not affiliates of the Company, in which case such Holder shall receive a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise with appropriate restrictive legends. Unless the Holder withdraws the Exercise Notice prior to actual delivery of the Warrant Shares, the Holder, or any Person permissibly so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. If the Warrant Shares are to be issued free of all restrictive legends, the Company shall, upon the written request of the Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver, or cause to be delivered, Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through DTC or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available, provided that the Company will not be required to change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through such a clearing corporation. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a validly submitted, and not withdrawn, Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise.

 

(b) If by the close of the third (3 rd ) Trading Day after the Exercise Date ( provided that payment of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares has been made in any manner permitted by Section 10 by the close of the second (2 nd ) Trading Day after the Exercise Date and further provided that the Exercise Notice has not been withdrawn pursuant to Section 14.15 of the Purchase Agreement), the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate representing the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a) , and if after such third (3 rd ) Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s sole discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to issue and deliver such shares of Common Stock shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to issue and deliver to the Holder such Warrant Shares and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company failed to issue and deliver multiplied by (B) the Closing Bid Price on the Exercise Date.

 

6.      Charges, Taxes and Expenses . Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however , that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or the Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

 

7.      Replacement of Warrant . If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction (in such case) and, in each case, a customary and reasonable indemnity and surety bond, if requested by the Company. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

 

8.      Reservation of Warrant Shares . Upon the effectiveness of the Charter Amendment and for so long as this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9) . The Company covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company further covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. The Company represents and warrants that the Warrant Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents and the Warrants, will be issued free and clear of all security interests, claims, liens and other encumbrances other than restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws. The Company will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.

 

9.     Certain Adjustments . The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9 .

 

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the effective date of such event by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such effective date immediately before giving effect to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 9(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 9(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification.

 

(b) Pro Rata Distributions . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock for no consideration (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) ) or (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset, including cash (in each case, “ Distributed Property ”), then, upon any exercise of this Warrant that occurs after the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of Warrant Shares had the Holder been the record holder of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to such record date.

 

(c) Fundamental Transactions . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, in which the Company is not the survivor or the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation do not own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the voting securities of the surviving entity, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets or a majority of its Common Stock is acquired by a third party, in each case, in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which all or substantially all of the holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) ) (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein (the “ Alternate Consideration ”), and the Holder shall no longer have the right to receive Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall not effect any such Fundamental Transaction unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or Person shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder, such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 9(c) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions of an analogous type to any Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction that is (1) a transaction where the consideration paid to the holders of the Common Stock consists of cash, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), or (3) a Fundamental Transaction in which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive securities of a person or entity not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE Amex Equities (formerly the American Stock Exchange), the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market or the OTC Bulletin Board, at the request of the Holder delivered before the sixtieth (60 th ) day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or the successor entity to the Company) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five (5) Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Fundamental Transaction. Any Holder that receives cash pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall not receive any Alternative Consideration. For purposes hereof, “ Black Scholes Value ” means the value of the Warrant based on the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and reflecting (i) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of such date of request and (ii) an expected volatility equal to the greater of (A) one hundred percent (100%) and (B) the one hundred and eighty (180) day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg determined as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the announcement of the Fundamental Transaction.

 

(d) Number of Warrant Shares . Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 9(a) , the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

(e) Subsequent Issuances

 

(i) For so long as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (as actually issued or, pursuant to Section 9(e)(ii) , deemed to be issued) for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale, then immediately upon such issue or sale the Exercise Price shall automatically be adjusted to a price equal to the price paid per share in such sale or issue; provided , however , that in no event shall the Exercise Price be adjusted to a price less than $0.50 per share (as the same may be adjusted for any actions described in Sections 9(a) and 9(b) :

 

(ii) Section 9(e)(i) shall not apply to Exempt Issuances (as defined in the Certificate of Designations).

 

(iii) For the purposes of Section 9(e)(i) , the following clauses (A) to (C), inclusive, shall also be applicable:

 

(A) In case at any time the Company shall grant any rights to subscribe for, or any rights or options to purchase, Common Stock Equivalents, whether or not such rights or options or the right to convert or exchange any such Common Stock Equivalents are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents (determined by dividing (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such rights or options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of such rights or options, plus, in the case of any such rights or options which relate to such Common Stock Equivalents, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such Common Stock Equivalents and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Common Stock Equivalents issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options) shall be less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such rights or options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Common Stock Equivalents issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options shall (as of the date of granting of such rights or options) be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued for such price per share.

(B) In case at any time the Company shall issue or sell any Common Stock Equivalents, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (x) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue or sale of such Common Stock Equivalents, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Common Stock Equivalents) shall be less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents shall (as of the date of the issue or sale of such Common Stock Equivalents) be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued for such price per share, provided that if any such issue or sale of such Common Stock Equivalents is made upon exercise of any rights to subscribe for or to purchase or any option to purchase any such Common Stock Equivalents for which adjustments of the conversion price have been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 9(e) , no further adjustment of the conversion price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

(C) In case at any time any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or any rights or options to purchase any such Common Stock, or Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefor. In case any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or any rights or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration as determined by the board of directors.

(f) Calculations . All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company.

 

(g) Notice of Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 , the Company at its expense will, at the written request of the Holder, promptly compute such adjustment, in good faith, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.

 

(h) Notice of Corporate Events . If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, except if such notice and the contents thereof shall be deemed to constitute material non-public information, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice of such transaction at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however , that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

10.      Payment of Exercise Price . The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds; provided, however , that if, on any Exercise Date after the Effectiveness Deadline there is not an effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then the Holder may, in its sole discretion, satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise”, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:

 

X = Y [(A-B)/A]

 

where:

 

“X” equals the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;

 

“Y” equals the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised;

 

           “A” equals the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exercise Date; and

 

“B” equals the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

 

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a “cashless exercise” transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (provided that the Commission continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of such exercise).

 

11.       Beneficial Ownership Limitations . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 4.99% of the total number of then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise), it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to such Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and such Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 11 applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder) and of which a portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of a Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 11 , 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 (x) the Company’s most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall within three (3) Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in Section 9 . By written notice to the Company, which will not be effective until the sixty-first (61 st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, the Holder may waive the provisions of this Section 11 (but such waiver will not affect any other holder) to change the beneficial ownership limitation to 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, and the provisions of this Section 11 shall continue to apply. Upon such a change by a Holder of the beneficial ownership limitation from such 4.99% limitation to such 9.99% limitation, the beneficial ownership limitation may not be further waived by such Holder.

 

12.      No Fractional Shares . No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the next whole number and the Company shall pay the Holder in cash the fair market value (based on the Closing Sale Price) for any such fractional shares.

 

13.       Notices . . Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 6.3 of the Purchase Agreement.

 

14.       Warrant Agent . The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

 

15.      Miscellaneous .

 

(a) No Rights as a Stockholder . The Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

(b) No Impairment .

(i) Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

(ii) Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

(c) Successors and Assigns . Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Warrant and in Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, and compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant may not be assigned by the Company without the written consent of the Holder except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction. This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Holder and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant.

[Address]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Common Stock Purchase Warrant, dated December 2, 2014, that you received from Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (the “ Company ”) in connection with its public offering of securities on that date (the “ Warrant ”). By signing this letter agreement you agree to the following:

1.                  You shall exchange the Warrant for two new warrants, each in form attached hereto (the “ New Warrants ”). The first New Warrant will have an exercise price of $0.09 per share, and the second New Warrant will have an exercise price of $0.11 per share. Other than exercise price, each New Warrant will have identical terms, and each New Warrant will be exercisable for the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock as the Warrant, at any time beginning December 2, 2015 until December 2, 2020. Delivery of the New Warrants is contingent upon return of a duly executed copy of this letter agreement along with the original Warrant (or an affidavit of lost warrant, in form provided by the Company upon request). The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register the shares of its common stock underlying the New Warrants on a resale registration statement that it expects it will be required to file pursuant to a customary registration rights agreement entered into connection with a proposed capital-raising transaction (the “ Proposed Transaction ”).

2.                  You shall duly execute and deliver the attached Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement, amending the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated November 26, 2014, to remove the restriction on Variable Rate Transactions (as defined therein) and the restriction from undertaking a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of the Company’s common stock.

3.                  As additional consideration for the above, within three business days of the Company’s receipt of the Warrant, the Company will issue to you $________ in shares of the Company’s common stock, valued as of the closing price of the Company’s common stock of the effective date of this letter agreement (the “ Additional Shares ” and, with the New Warrants and the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants, the “ Consideration ”). [1] The Additional Shares will be issued free of restrictive legends. You agree not to transfer the shares (other than to an affiliate) at any time prior to (i) 90 days from the date of issuance or (ii) the effectiveness of a registration statement registering for resale any or all of the securities issued in the Proposed Transaction.

1 The aggregate dollar amount of the Additional Shares will be 7.7778% of the amount you invested in the December 2014 public offering. For example, if you invested $450,000 in the December 2014 public offering, you would receive $35,000 in Additional Shares ($450,000 x 0.077778 = $35,000).

 

 
 

4.                  Upon receipt of the Consideration, you relinquish all rights, title and interest you have in the Warrant (including any claims you may have against the Company related thereto) and assign the same to the Company. You understand and acknowledge that upon the Company’s acceptance of the Warrant, the Warrant will be canceled.

5.                  You represent and warrant that (a) you have the full power and authority to exchange the Warrant for the Consideration; (b) the Warrant is free and clear of all security interests, liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales agreements or other obligations relating to the sale or transfer thereof and not subject to any adverse claims; (c) you are an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, you can bear the economic risk of an investment in the Consideration, and you have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and your are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in the Consideration; (d) you have had the opportunity to review the Company’s current business prospects, financial condition and operating history as set forth in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (e) you have had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding all the information you consider necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to invest in the Consideration.

6.                  You acknowledge that the issuance of the Consideration will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that the Consideration is being offered and sold to you in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of U.S. federal and state securities laws, and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, your representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings set forth in this letter agreement, in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and your eligibility to acquire the Consideration. You further acknowledge that the Consideration may not be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned (a) in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement for the Consideration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (ii) an opinion of counsel to the holder (if requested by the Company), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, that registration is not required under said act or (b) unless sold or eligible to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under said act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges that the Consideration may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Consideration.

7.                  Upon request, you shall execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the exchange of the Warrant for the Consideration.

Exhibit 10.2

amendment to securities purchase agreement

This Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement (this “ Agreement ”) is dated as of June __, 2015 and is between GUIDED THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and the other parties identified on the signature pages hereto.

On November 26, 2014, the parties entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “ Purchaser Agreement ”) providing for the purchase of certain securities of the Company. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement currently prohibits the Company, until 18 months after the Closing Date, from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction (the “ Variable Rate Transaction Restriction ”). The Purchase Agreement also currently prohibits the Company, until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, from undertaking a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of the Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Purchasers holding a majority in interest of the Shares except under certain circumstances (the “ Capital Change Restriction ”).

The parties believe it is in their mutual best interests to maximize the Company’s flexibility in its capital raising efforts and, to that end, desire to amend the Purchase Agreement to remove the Variable Rate Transaction Restriction and the Capital Change Restriction.

Therefore, the parties agree as follows:

1. Amendments to Purchase Agreement . Section 4.12(b) of the Purchase Agreement, which provides for the Variable Rate Transaction Restriction, and Section 4.15 of the Purchase Agreement, which provides for the Capital Change Restriction, are hereby deleted in their entirety.
2. Effect of Amendment . Except as set forth expressly in Section 1, all terms of the Purchase Agreement shall be and remain in full force and effect, and shall constitute the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the parties to the Purchase Agreement.
3. Condition Precedent . In accordance with Section 5.5 of the Purchase Agreement, the amendment set forth in Section 1 shall become effective upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchasers who purchased at least 67% in interest of the Shares based on the initial Subscription Amounts thereunder.
4. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and each of such counterparts will for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts will together constitute but one and the same instrument.

The parties are signing this Agreement as of the date stated in the introductory clause..

The Company and each Subsidiary are duly qualified to conduct its respective businesses and are in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

23.              Entire Agreement; Amendments . This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between the Holder, the Company, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor the Holder makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.

Exhibit 10.4

 

AMENDMENT #4

 

This Amendment #4 (this Amendment ”) is entered into as of June 16, 2015, by and between Tonaquint, Inc ., a Utah corporation (“ Lender ”), and Guided Therapeutics, Inc ., a Delaware corporation (“ Debtor ”).

A. Debtor previously issued to Lender a Secured Promissory Note dated September 10, 2014 and in the principal amount of $1,275,000.00 (the Note ”).

B. The Note was issued pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated September 10, 2014 between Lender and Debtor (the Purchase Agreement, and together with the Note and all other documents entered into in conjunction therewith, the Loan Documents ”).

C. Lender and Debtor previously agreed to extend the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note) of the Note (“ Extension #1 ”) pursuant to the terms of that certain Amendment dated March 10,2015 (“ Amendment #1 ”).

D. Lender and Debtor also previously agreed to extend the Maturity Date of the Note (“ Extension #2 ”) pursuant to the terms of that certain Amendment #2 dated May 4, 2015 (“ Amendment # 2 ”).

E. Lender and Debtor also previously agreed to extend the Maturity Date of the Note (" Extension #3 ") pursuant to the terms of that certain Amendment #3 dated June 1, 2015 ( ''Amendment #3 ").

F. Debtor has requested that Lender further extend the Maturity Date (“ Extension #4 ”).

G. Lender has agreed, subject to the terms, amendments, conditions and understandings expressed in this Amendment, to grant Extension #4.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Recitals . Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the recitals set forth above in this Amendment are true and accurate and are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Amendment.

2. Amendment #3 . This Amendment shall supersede and replace Amendment #3 in its entirety.

3. Extension . The first sentence of Section 1 of the Note is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“PAYMENT. Debtor shall pay to Lender the entire outstanding balance of this Note on or before July 31, 2015.”

4. Interest . Section 2 of the Note is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“INTEREST. Interest shall not accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note until the date that is six ( 6) months from the date hereof unless an Event of Default (as defined below) occurs prior to such date. Upon the earlier of (i) the date that is six (6) months from the date hereof, and (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, the outstanding balance of this Note shall bear interest at the lesser of the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, compounding monthly on the first day of each month and calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, from the date due until paid.”

5. Conversions .

(a) During the period beginning on March 10, 2015 and ending on July 31, 2015 (the Extension Periods ”), Lender shall have the right to convert up to $450,000.00 of the outstanding balance of the Note into shares of Debtor’s common stock (the Conversion Shares ”).

(b) Lender may elect to make such a conversion (each, a Conversion ”) by delivering a conversion notice in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A to Debtor (“ Conversion Notice ”). Debtor agrees to deliver Conversion Shares on or prior to the date that is three (3) business days after delivery of a Conversion Notice (the Delivery Deadline ”). For the avoidance of doubt, Debtor further agrees that it will honor any Conversion Notice delivered during the Extension Period, even if delivered on the final day thereof. When a Conversion Notice or other notice hereunder is deemed to be delivered shall be governed by the terms of Section 7.8 of the Purchase Agreement.

(c) The conversion price per share (the Conversion Price ”) for each Conversion shall be the lower of (i) $0.25, and (ii) 75% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price per share of Debtor’s common stock (as reported by Bloomberg, L.P.) during the five (5) business days immediately prior to the date of the applicable Conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Price shall be subject to a conversion floor of $0.15 per share (the Conversion Floor ”). If Lender submits a Conversion Notice with a Conversion Price less than the Conversion Floor, then Debtor shall, within two (2) business days of Lender’s delivery of such Conversion Notice, notify Lender in writing of its election to either (i) pay the conversion amount in cash, or (ii) waive the Conversion Floor and deliver the Conversion Shares. On or prior to the Delivery Deadline, Debtor shall pay the aggregate Conversion Price in cash or deliver the applicable Conversion Shares, as the case may be. If Debtor fails to deliver a notice as required pursuant to this Section 5(c), then Debtor shall be deemed to have elected to have waived the Conversion Floor and will be required to deliver the applicable Conversion Shares on or before the Delivery Date.

(d) If Debtor elects or is deemed to have elected to deliver Conversion Shares and fails to deliver Conversion Shares on or prior to the Delivery Deadline, a late fee equal to the greater of (a) $500.00 and (b) 2% of the applicable Conversion Share Value (as defined below) rounded to the nearest multiple of $100.00 will be assessed for each day after the Delivery Deadline until Conversion Share delivery is made; and such late fee will be added to the outstanding balance of the Note (such fees, the Conversion Delay Late Fees ”), provided, however, that in no event will the cumulative amount of any Conversion Delay Late Fees for each Conversion exceed 100% of the applicable Conversion Share Value. For illustration purposes only, if Lender delivers a Conversion Notice to Debtor pursuant to which Debtor is required to deliver 100,000 Conversion Shares to Lender and on the Delivery Deadline such Conversion Shares have a Conversion Share Value of $20,000.00 (assuming a Closing Trade Price on the Delivery Deadline of $0.20 per share of common stock), then in such event a Conversion Delay Late Fee in the amount of $500.00 per day (the greater of $500.00 per day and $20,000.00 multiplied by 2%, which is $400.00) would be added to the outstanding balance of the Note until such Conversion Shares are delivered to Lender. For purposes of this example, if the Conversion Shares are delivered to Lender twenty (20) days after the applicable Delivery Deadline, the total Conversion Delay Late Fees that would be added to the outstanding balance would be $10,000.00 (20 days multiplied by $500.00 per day). If the Conversion Shares are delivered to Lender one hundred (100) days after the applicable Delivery Deadline, the total Conversion Delay Late Fees that would be added to the outstanding balance of the Note would be $20,000.00 (1 00 days multiplied by $500.00 per day, but capped at 100% of the Conversion Share Value). For purposes of this Amendment, Conversion Share Value means the product of the number of Conversion Shares deliverable pursuant to any Conversion multiplied by the volume weighted average price per share on the applicable Delivery Deadline.

6. Volume Restriction .

(a) Lender agrees that, with respect to the Conversion Shares, in any given calendar week its Net Sales (as defined below) of such Conversion Shares shall not exceed the greater of (i) fifteen percent (15%) of Debtor’s weekly dollar trading volume in such week (which, for purposes hereof, means the number of shares traded during such calendar week multiplied by the volume weighted average price per share (as reported by Bloomberg L.P .) for such calendar week), and (ii) $75,000 (the Volume Restriction ”). For purposes of this Amendment, the term Net Sales means the gross proceeds from sales of Conversion Shares sold in a calendar week minus the purchase price paid for any shares of Debtor’s common stock purchased from persons other than Debtor in such week. Lender hereby authorizes Debtor to request a trading activity report from Lender’s broker with respect to Lender’s Net Sales during any calendar week.

(b) Lender agrees that in the event it breaches the Volume Restriction where its Net Sales during any calendar week exceed the dollar volume it is permitted to sell in any calendar week (such excess, the Excess Sales ”), then in such event Debtor’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to reduce the outstanding balance of the Note by the amount of the Excess Sales upon delivery of written notice to Lender.

7. Trading Activities . During the Extension Period, Lender will not directly or through an affiliate engage in any open market Short Sales (as defined below) of Debtor’s common stock; provided; however, that unless and until Debtor has affirmatively demonstrated by the use of specific evidence that Lender is engaging in open market Short Sales, Lender shall be assumed to be in compliance with the provisions of this Section and Debtor shall remain fully obligated to fulfill all of its obligations under the Loan Documents; and provided, further, that (a) Debtor shall under no circumstances be entitled to request or demand that Lender either (i) provide trading or other records of Lender or of any party (other than as set forth in Section 6(a) above), or (ii) affirmatively demonstrate that Lender or any other party has not engaged in any such Short Sales in breach of these provisions as a condition to Debtor’s fulfillment of its obligations under any of the Loan Documents, (b) Debtor shall not assert Lender’s or any other party’s failure to demonstrate such absence of such Short Sales or provide any trading or other records of Lender or any other party as all or part of a defense to any breach of Debtor’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents, and (c) Debtor shall have no setoff right with respect to any such Short Sales. As used herein, Short Sale has the meaning provided in Rule 3b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

8. Conversion #5 . Debtor acknowledges and agrees that Conversion Notice #5 dated June 10, 2015 has been cancelled and replaced with Conversion Notice #5 dated June 16, 2015. Debtor agrees to deliver the Conversion Shares set forth in the June 16, 2015 Conversion Notice to Lender within three (3) business days of the date of this Amendment (the June 16 Conversion Shares ”).

9. Extension Fee . As a material inducement and partial consideration for Lender’s agreement to enter into this Agreement and grant Extension #4, each of Lender and Debtor agree that the Outstanding Balance of the Note shall be increased by $65,000.00 (the Extension Fee ”) as of the date hereof and that the Extension Fee will tack back to the issuance date of the Note for purposes of Rule 144. Following the application of the Extension Fee and assuming delivery of the June 16 Conversion Shares, each of Lender and Debtor acknowledge and agree that the outstanding balance of the Note is $1,028,140.16 as of the date hereof.

10. Representations and Warranties of Debtor . In order to induce Lender to enter into this Amendment, Debtor, for itself, and for its affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

(a) Debtor has full power and authority to enter into this Amendment and to incur and perform all obligations and covenants contained herein, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action. No consent, approval, filing or registration with or notice to any governmental authority is required as a condition to the validity of this Amendment or the performance of any of the obligations of Debtor hereunder.

 

(b) There is no fact known to Debtor or which should be known to Debtor which Debtor has not disclosed to Lender on or prior to the date of this Amendment which would or could materially and adversely affect the understanding of Lender expressed in this Amendment or any representation, warranty, or recital contained in this Amendment.

 

(c) Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment, Debtor acknowledges and agrees that neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment nor any of the terms, provisions, covenants, or agreements contained in this Amendment shall in any manner release, impair, lessen, modify, waive, or otherwise affect the liability and obligations of Debtor under the terms of the Loan Documents.

 

(d) Debtor has no defenses, affirmative or otherwise, rights of setoff, rights of recoupment, claims, counterclaims, actions or causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever against Lender, directly or indirectly, arising out of, based upon, or in any manner connected with, the transactions contemplated hereby, whether known or unknown, which occurred, existed, was taken, permitted, or begun prior to the execution of this Amendment and occurred, existed, was taken, permitted or begun in accordance with, pursuant to, or by virtue of any of the terms or conditions of the Loan Documents. To the extent any such defenses, affirmative or otherwise, rights of setoff, rights of recoupment, claims, counterclaims, actions or causes of action exist or existed, such defenses, rights, claims, counterclaims, actions and causes of action are hereby waived, discharged and released.

H. Lender has agreed, subject to the terms, amendments, conditions and understandings expressed in this Amendment, to grant Extension #5.

 

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.                  Recitals . Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the recitals set forth above in this Amendment are true and accurate and are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Amendment.

 

2.                  Amendment #4 . This Amendment shall supersede and replace Amendment #4 in its entirety.

 

3.                  Extension . The first sentence of Section 1 of the Note is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

PAYMENT . Debtor shall pay to Lender the entire outstanding balance of this Note on or before August 31, 2016.”

 

4.                  Interest . Section 2 of the Note is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

INTEREST . Interest shall not accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note until the date that is six (6) months from the date hereof unless an Event of Default (as defined below) occurs prior to such date. Upon the earlier of (i) the date that is six (6) months from the date hereof, and (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, the outstanding balance of this Note shall bear interest at the lesser of the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum simple interest or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed, from the date due until paid.”

 

5.                  Events of Default . The following events of default shall be added to the end of Section 5 of the Note:

 

“(j) Required Market Capitalization . Debtor’s market capitalization (calculated as the closing trade price of Debtor’s common stock on Debtor’s principal trading market on the applicable date of measurement multiplied by Debtor’s total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock on the applicable date of measurement) at any time shall fall below $7,500,000.00 or the closing trade price of Debtor’s common stock on its principal trading market at any time shall fall below $0.05.”

 

“(k) Trading . Trading in Debtor’s common stock shall be suspended, halted, chilled, frozen, reach zero bid or otherwise cease on Debtor’s principal trading market for a period of ten (10) consecutive days or for more than an aggregate of thirty (30) days in any 365-day period.”

 

6.                  Acceleration; Remedies . The first two sentences in Section 6(a) of the Note shall be deleted and replaced in their entirety with the following:

 

“(a) Thirty (30) calendar days following the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default referred to in Sections 5(a), 5(d), 5(e), 5(j) and 5(k) ) and at any time thereafter, Lender may, by written notice to Debtor (a “ Default Notice ”), declare all unpaid principal, plus all accrued interest and other amounts due hereunder to be immediately due and payable at the Mandatory Default Amount (as defined below) without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default described in Sections 5(a), 5(d), 5(e), 5(j) and 5(k) , immediately and without notice, all outstanding unpaid principal, plus all accrued interest and other amounts due hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable at the Mandatory Default Amount, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding.”

 

7.     Conversions .

 

(a)                During the period beginning on March 10, 2015 and ending on August 31, 2016 (the “ Exentension Period ”), Lender shall have the right to convert up to a certain amount of the outstanding balance of the Note (the “ Conversion Cap ”) into shares of Debtor’s common stock (the “ Conversion Shares ”). The Conversion Cap for the period beginning on March 10, 2015 and ending on July 31, 2015 shall be $450,000.00. Beginning on August 1, 2015 and continuing thereafter on the first day of each month, the Conversion Cap shall increase by $75,000.00. For the avoidance of doubt, assuming no prior conversions, the Conversion Cap as of August 1, 2015 shall be $525,000.00, the Conversion Cap as of September 1, 2015 shall be $600,000.00, and so on until the end of the Extension Period.

 

(b)               Lender may elect to make such a conversion (each, a “ Conversion ”) by delivering a conversion notice in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A to Debtor (“ Conversion Notice ”). Debtor agrees to deliver Conversion Shares on or prior to the date that is three (3) business days after delivery of a Conversion Notice (the “ Delivery Deadline ”). For the avoidance of doubt, Debtor further agrees that it will honor any Conversion Notice delivered during the Extension Period, even if delivered on the final day thereof. When a Conversion Notice or other notice hereunder is deemed to be delivered shall be governed by the terms of Section 7.8 of the Purchase Agreement.

 

(c)                The conversion price per share (the “ Conversion Price ”) for each Conversion shall be the lower of (i) $0.25, and (ii) 75% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price per share of Debtor’s common stock (as reported by Bloomberg, L.P.) during the five (5) business days immediately prior to the date of the applicable Conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Price shall be subject to a conversion floor of $0.15 per share (the “ Conversion Floor ”). If Lender submits a Conversion Notice with a Conversion Price less than the Conversion Floor, then Debtor shall, within two (2) business days of Lender’s delivery of such Conversion Notice, notify Lender in writing of its election to either (i) pay the conversion amount in cash, or (ii) waive the Conversion Floor and deliver the Conversion Shares. On or prior to the Delivery Deadline, Debtor shall pay the aggregate Conversion Price in cash or deliver the applicable Conversion Shares, as the case may be. If Debtor fails to deliver a notice as required pursuant to this Section 5(c), then Debtor shall be deemed to have elected to have waived the Conversion Floor and will be required to deliver the applicable Conversion Shares on or before the Delivery Date.

 

(d)               If Debtor elects or is deemed to have elected to deliver Conversion Shares and fails to deliver Conversion Shares on or prior to the Delivery Deadline, a late fee equal to the greater of (a) $500.00 and (b) 2% of the applicable Conversion Share Value (as defined below) rounded to the nearest multiple of $100.00 will be assessed for each day after the Delivery Deadline until Conversion Share delivery is made; and such late fee will be added to the outstanding balance of the Note (such fees, the “ Conversion Delay Late Fees ”), provided , however , that in no event will the cumulative amount of any Conversion Delay Late Fees for each Conversion exceed 100% of the applicable Conversion Share Value. For illustration purposes only, if Lender delivers a Conversion Notice to Debtor pursuant to which Debtor is required to deliver 100,000 Conversion Shares to Lender and on the Delivery Deadline such Conversion Shares have a Conversion Share Value of $20,000.00 (assuming a closing trade price on the Delivery Deadline of $0.20 per share of common stock), then in such event a Conversion Delay Late Fee in the amount of $500.00 per day (the greater of $500.00 per day and $20,000.00 multiplied by 2%, which is $400.00) would be added to the outstanding balance of the Note until such Conversion Shares are delivered to Lender. For purposes of this example, if the Conversion Shares are delivered to Lender twenty (20) days after the applicable Delivery Deadline, the total Conversion Delay Late Fees that would be added to the outstanding balance would be $10,000.00 (20 days multiplied by $500.00 per day). If the Conversion Shares are delivered to Lender one hundred (100) days after the applicable Delivery Deadline, the total Conversion Delay Late Fees that would be added to the outstanding balance of the Note would be $20,000.00 (100 days multiplied by $500.00 per day, but capped at 100% of the Conversion Share Value). For purposes of this Amendment, “ Conversion Share Value ” means the product of the number of Conversion Shares deliverable pursuant to any Conversion multiplied by the volume weighted average price per share on the applicable Delivery Deadline.

 

8.                  Volume Restriction .

 

(a)                Lender agrees that, with respect to the Conversion Shares, in any given calendar week its Net Sales (as defined below) of such Conversion Shares shall not exceed the greater of (i) fifteen percent (15%) of Debtor’s weekly dollar trading volume in such week (which, for purposes hereof, means the number of shares traded during such calendar week multiplied by the volume weighted average price per share (as reported by Bloomberg L.P.) for such calendar week), and (ii) $75,000 (the “ Volume Restriction ”). For purposes of this Amendment, the term “ Net Sales ” means the gross proceeds from sales of Conversion Shares sold in a calendar week minus the purchase price paid for any shares of Debtor’s common stock purchased from persons other than Debtor in such week. Lender hereby authorizes Debtor to request a trading activity report from Lender’s broker with respect to Lender’s Net Sales during any calendar week.

 

(b)               Lender agrees that in the event it breaches the Volume Restriction where its Net Sales during any calendar week exceed the dollar volume it is permitted to sell in any calendar week (such excess, the “ Excess Sales ”), then in such event Debtor’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to reduce the outstanding balance of the Note by the amount of the Excess Sales upon delivery of written notice to Lender.

 

9.                  Trading Activities . During the Extension Period, Lender will not directly or through an affiliate engage in any open market Short Sales (as defined below) of Debtor’s common stock; provided; however , that unless and until Debtor has affirmatively demonstrated by the use of specific evidence that Lender is engaging in open market Short Sales, Lender shall be assumed to be in compliance with the provisions of this Section and Debtor shall remain fully obligated to fulfill all of its obligations under the Loan Documents; and provided, further, that (a) Debtor shall under no circumstances be entitled to request or demand that Lender either (i) provide trading or other records of Lender or of any party (other than as set forth in Section 6(a) above), or (ii) affirmatively demonstrate that Lender or any other party has not engaged in any such Short Sales in breach of these provisions as a condition to Debtor’s fulfillment of its obligations under any of the Loan Documents, (b) Debtor shall not assert Lender’s or any other party’s failure to demonstrate such absence of such Short Sales or provide any trading or other records of Lender or any other party as all or part of a defense to any breach of Debtor’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents, and (c) Debtor shall have no setoff right with respect to any such Short Sales. As used herein, “ Short Sale ” has the meaning provided in Rule 3b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

10.              Representations and Warranties of Debtor . In order to induce Lender to enter into this Amendment, Debtor, for itself, and for its affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

 

(a) Debtor has full power and authority to enter into this Amendment and to incur and perform all obligations and covenants contained herein, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action.

Debtor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the execution of this Amendment by Lender shall not constitute an acknowledgment of or admission by Lender of the existence of any claims or of liability for any matter or precedent upon which any claim or liability may be asserted.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.9 , the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “ Purchaser Party ”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a)(i) any material breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements not qualified by materiality or (ii) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements qualified by materiality, in each case made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against a Purchaser in any capacity, or its Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings the Purchaser may have with any such stockholder or any violations by the Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of such indemnified liabilities that is permissible under applicable law. Promptly after receipt by any Person (the “ Indemnified Person ”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 4.9 , such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses relating to such action, proceeding or investigation; provided , however , that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such proceeding; or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

4.10       Principal Trading Market Listing . The Company shall comply in all respects with any filing or other requirements of the Principal Trading Market in connection with the transactions (including the issuance of Securities) contemplated by this Agreement.

4.11       Form D; Blue Sky . The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with the Commission with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon the written request of any Purchaser. The Company, on or before each Closing Date, shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Securities for sale to the Purchasers under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification) and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon the written request of any Purchaser.

4.12       Delivery of Preferred Stock and Warrants After Closing . The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the respective Preferred Stock and Warrants purchased by each Purchaser to such Purchaser within three (3) Trading Days of the applicable Closing Date.

4.13       Short Sales and Confidentiality After The Date Hereof . Each Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Trading Affiliates not to, engage, directly or indirectly, in any transactions in the Company’s securities (including, without limitation, any Short Sales involving the Company’s securities) during the period from the date hereof until the earlier of such time as (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section 4.5 or (ii) this Agreement is terminated in full pursuant to Section 6.18 . For as long as each Purchaser holds Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), such Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Trading Affiliates not to, engage, directly or indirectly, in any Short Sales of the Company’s securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in Short Sales in the securities of the Company after such time that such Purchaser no longer holds any Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that such Purchaser is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall apply only with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that have knowledge about the financing transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Moreover, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Purchaser has sold Securities pursuant to Rule 144 prior to the effectiveness date of the relevant Registration Statement and the Company has failed to deliver certificates without legends prior to the settlement date for such sale (assuming that such certificates meet the requirements set forth in Section 4.1(c) for the removal of legends), the provisions of this Section 4.13 shall not prohibit such Purchaser from entering into net Short Sales for the purpose of delivering shares of Common Stock in settlement of such sale.

4.14       Participation in Future Financing .

(a)                If the Company or any of the Subsidiaries issues any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration other than in an Exempt Issuance (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) (a “ Subsequent Financing ”), from the date hereof until the date that is six (6) months from the final Closing Date, each Purchaser who has purchased at least 1,000 shares of Preferred Stock (a “ Major Purchaser ”) shall have the right to participate, up to an amount equal to such Major Purchaser’s Participation Percentage, in the Subsequent Financing on the same terms, conditions and price provided to the other investors in the Subsequent Financing. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the “ Participation Percentage ” means, with respect to any Major Purchaser, a percentage calculated by multiplying fifty percent (50%) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate subscription amounts of such Major Purchaser at all Closings, and the denominator of which is the aggregate subscription amounts of all Major Purchasers at all Closings. In addition, if the Company conducts a Subsequent Financing at any time while any Preferred Stock is outstanding, each Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to surrender any or all shares of Preferred Stock held by such Purchaser to the Company and receive, in exchange therefor, a number of the securities issued in such Subsequent Financing calculated by dividing the aggregate Stated Value of the shares of Preferred Stock so surrendered by the price at which the securities are provided for in such Subsequent Financing.

(b)               At least three (3) Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice via e-mail of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (a “ Subsequent Financing Notice ” and the date of such Purchaser’s receipt thereof, the “ Subsequent Financing Notice Date ”). The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, (i) the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and (ii) the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected (in the case of subclause (ii), only if such information is known and the Company is not otherwise prohibited from disclosing such information) and shall include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto as an attachment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subsequent Financing Notice pertains to a public offering in which the pricing information regarding the securities to be issued has not been determined, the Subsequent Financing Notice may omit such pricing information provided it indicates the approximate date and time that such pricing information will be determined.

(c)                If a Major Purchaser desires to participate in such Subsequent Financing (or a Purchaser desires to surrender Preferred Stock in such Subsequent Financing) pursuant to Section 4.14(a) , it must provide written notice via e-mail (the “ Acceptance Notice ”) to the Company (i) on the Subsequent Financing Notice Date, if such Purchaser receives the Subsequent Financing Notice no later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on any Trading Day, or (ii) on the next Trading Day following the Subsequent Financing Notice Date, if the conditions of clause (i) are not satisfied. The Acceptance Notice must state that the Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, include the amount of such Purchaser’s participation (or, if applicable, the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be surrendered), and, if applicable, contain a representation and warranty that the Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. In the event that pricing information was omitted from the Subsequent Financing Notice pursuant to the last sentence of Section 4.15(b) , the Purchaser’s Acceptance Notice may be made conditional upon the Purchaser’s review and approval of the omitted pricing information. If the Purchaser delivers to the Company such a conditional Acceptance Notice, the Company shall deliver in writing the final pricing information to the Purchaser as promptly as practicable after such information has been determined, whereupon Purchaser shall have three (3) hours to notify the Company that it wishes to confirm or withdraw its prior Acceptance Notice. If the Company receives no Acceptance Notice from a Purchaser within the time periods described in the first sentence of this Section 4.15(c) , such Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate.

(d)               The Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. The Company must provide each Purchaser with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and each Purchaser will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 4.15 , if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on materially the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within thirty (30) Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.

(e)                The Company and each Purchaser agree that if a Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision whereby such Purchaser shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the Securities purchased hereunder or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser.

(f)                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15 and unless otherwise agreed to by such Purchaser, if the Company delivers Subsequent Financing Notice to a Purchaser, the Company shall either confirm in writing to the Purchaser that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such that the Purchaser will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the tenth (10th) Trading Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by such tenth (10th) Trading Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by a Purchaser, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned, and the Purchaser shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

4.15          Charter Amendment .

(a)    Each Purchaser acknowledges that, as of the date of this Agreement, the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon conversion of all of the Preferred Stock or exercise of all of the Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement and, therefore, any attempts at conversion of the Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants will be contingent upon availability of sufficient shares of Common Stock at the time of any particular conversion or exercise, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Documents, upon submission to the Company of any Notice of Conversion (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) or any Exercise Notice (as defined in the Warrants) at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Charter Amendment, if there are insufficient shares of authorized Common Stock available for issuance in accordance with such Notice of Conversion or Exercise Notice, and the Company is not otherwise in breach of this Section 4.15 , each Purchaser agrees that any Notice of Conversion (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) or Exercise Notice (as defined in the Warrants) shall be deemed immediately withdrawn, without any penalty to the Company, upon delivery, within one (1) Trading Day after receipt of such Notice of Conversion or Exercise Notice, of a certificate of an officer of the Company stating that there are insufficient shares of Common Stock available for issuance in accordance with such Notice of Conversion or Exercise Notice.

(b)   On or before the ninetieth (90th) day following the date of this Agreement (the “ Stockholders Meeting Deadline ”), the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders (which meeting may be an annual or special meeting) (the “ Stockholders Meeting ”) at which the Company shall seek, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, approval from the Company’s stockholders for either or both of the following proposals: (i) the increase of the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock by at least 100,000,000, provided that the Proposal shall also expressly indicate that a portion of such additional shares shall be used to satisfy the Company’s obligations to issue Conversion Shares under the Preferred Stock and issue Warrant Shares under the Warrants, and (ii) a reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock (such proposal or proposals in subclauses (i) and (ii) for which approval of the Company’s stockholders is actually sought, the “ Charter Amendment ,” the approval from the Company’s stockholders of the Charter Amendment, if and when given, the “ Stockholder Approval ,” and the date on which the Stockholder Approval is given, the “ Stockholder Approval Date ”). In connection with the Charter Amendment, the Company will prepare and promptly file with the Commission proxy materials (including a proxy statement and form of proxy) for use at the Stockholders Meeting and, after receiving and promptly responding to any comments of the Commission thereon, shall promptly mail such proxy materials to the stockholders of the Company. Each Purchaser shall promptly furnish in writing to the Company such information relating to such Purchaser and its investment in the Company as the Company may reasonably request for inclusion in the Proxy Statement. The Company will comply with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder in relation to any proxy statement (as amended or supplemented, the “ Proxy Statement ”) and any form of proxy to be sent to the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Stockholders Meeting, and the Proxy Statement shall not, on the date that the Proxy Statement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) is first mailed to stockholders or at the time of the Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein not false or misleading, or omit to state any material fact necessary to correct any statement in any earlier communication with respect to the solicitation of proxies for the Stockholders Meeting that has become false or misleading.

(c)    Subject to its fiduciary obligations under applicable law (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel), the Board of Directors shall recommend to the Company’s stockholders that they vote in favor of the Charter Amendment (the “ Board Recommendation ”) and take all commercially reasonable action to solicit the approval of the stockholders for the Charter Amendment unless the Board of Directors shall have modified, amended or withdrawn the Board Recommendation pursuant to the provisions of the immediately succeeding sentence. Whether or not the Board of Directors modifies, amends or withdraws the Board Recommendation pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall, in accordance with Section 146 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the provisions of its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, (i) take all action necessary to convene the Stockholders Meeting on or prior to the Stockholders Meeting Deadline, to consider and vote upon the approval of the Charter Amendment, (ii) submit the Charter Amendment at the Stockholders Meeting to the stockholders of the Company for their approval, and (iii) conditioned upon receipt of the Stockholder Approval, promptly file the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

(d)   The Company and the Purchasers hereby declare that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to the parties hereto by reason of the failure of any party to perform any of its obligations set forth in this Section 4.15 . Therefore, the Purchasers shall have the right to seek specific performance of such obligations, and if the Purchasers shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce the provisions hereof, the Company hereby waives the claim or defense that the party instituting such action or proceeding has an adequate remedy at law.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of amendment, by the Company and the holders of at least a majority in interest of the Preferred Stock still held by all Purchasers or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

6.5           Construction . The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.

6.6           Successors and Assigns . The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by the Company without the prior written consent of at least a majority in interest of the Securities still held by Purchasers. Any Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder in whole or in part to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities in compliance with the Transaction Documents and applicable law, provided such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the terms and conditions of this Agreement that apply to the “Purchasers”.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

6.10       Severability . If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

6.11       Rescission and Withdrawal Right . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

6.12       Remedies . In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each Purchaser and the Company will be entitled to seek specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any action for a temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

6.13       Payment Set Aside . To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

6.14       Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices . In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of shares or a price per share shall be deemed to be amended to appropriately account for such event.

6.15       Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law.

2. Registration .

(a)                Following each Closing, on or prior to the Filing Deadline, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities issued or issuable in connection with the such Closing or any prior Closing not already covered by an existing and effective Registration Statement (other than, in the case of a Registration Statement in connection with the First Closing only, the Delayed Registrable Securities) for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 or, if Rule 415 is not available for offers and sales of the such Registrable Securities, by such other means of distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Holders may reasonably specify (collectively, the “ Initial Registration Statements ”). The Initial Registration Statements shall be on such form that is available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering subject to the provisions of Section 2(e) and shall contain (except if otherwise required pursuant to written comments received from the Commission upon a review of such Registration Statement) a “Plan of Distribution” section substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex A (which may be modified to respond to comments, if any, provided by the Commission). Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2 , in the event the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities to be registered on an Initial Registration Statement cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to such Initial Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw such Initial Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “ New Registration Statement ”), in either case covering the maximum number of the applicable Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on such form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however , that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the applicable Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Interpretive Response 612.09 of the Commission’s Securities Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of liquidated damages in Section 2(c) , if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of shares of Common Stock permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of shares of Common Stock), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the Company shall first remove all Piggyback Securities from such Registration Statement. If, after such removal, the Company is still required to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock registered on such Registration Statement, then the number of applicable Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will first be reduced by applicable Registrable Securities not acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (whether pursuant to registration rights or otherwise), second by applicable Registrable Securities represented by Warrant Shares (applied, in the case that some Warrant Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Warrant Shares held by such Holders), and third by applicable Registrable Securities represented by Conversion Shares (applied, in the case that some Conversion Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Conversion Shares held by such Holders, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Conversion Shares held by such Holders). In the event the Company amends an Initial Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on such form available to register for resale those applicable Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on such Initial Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement (the “ Remainder Registration Statements ”). In addition, in the event that the Commission requires a Holder seeking to resell securities under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement to be specifically identified as an “underwriter” in order to permit such Registration Statement to become effective, and the Holder does not consent to being so named as an underwriter in such Registration Statement, then, in each such case, the Company shall reduce the total number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of the Holder on such Registration Statement, until such time as the Commission does not require such identification or until the Holder accepts such identification and the manner thereof. If, notwithstanding any such reduction, the Commission still requires that the Holder be specifically identified as an “underwriter” in order to permit such Registration Statement to be declared effective, the Holder may, at its option, elect to have no Registrable Securities of the Holder be included in such Registration Statement; provided that, if the Company has resolved all other comments of the Commission to the Registration Statement on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline, then as of the date of such election by the Holder, such Registration Statement shall be deemed to have been declared effective as of the Effectiveness Deadline.

(b)               The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable and, with respect to an Initial Registration Statement or a New Registration Statement, as applicable, no later than the Effectiveness Deadline (including filing with the Commission a request for acceleration of effectiveness in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep each Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) such time as all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been publicly sold by the Holders or (ii) the date that is one (1) year following the Effective Date (the “ Effectiveness Period ”). The Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 P.M. New York City time on a Trading Day. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders via facsimile or electronic mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading Day that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which date of confirmation shall initially be the date requested for effectiveness of such Registration Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 A.M. New York City time on the first Trading Day after the Effective Date, file a final Prospectus with the Commission, as required by Rule 424(b).

(c)                If: (i) an Initial Registration Statement is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the Filing Deadline, (ii) an Initial Registration Statement or a New Registration Statement, as applicable, is not declared effective by the Commission (or otherwise does not become effective) for any reason on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline or (iii) after its Effective Date, (A) a Registration Statement ceases for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a stop order, or the Company’s failure to update the Registration Statement) to remain continuously effective as to all applicable Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement or (B) the Holders are not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities for any reason (other than due to a change in the “Plan of Distribution” or the inaccuracy of any information regarding the Holders), in each case, for more than an aggregate of twenty-five (25) calendar days during any one hundred twenty (120) day period or forty-five (45) calendar days during any twelve (12) month period (other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement by a Holder or a Holder’s failure to return a Selling Stockholder Questionnaire within the time period provided by Section 2(d) hereof) (any such failure in clauses (i) through (iii) above being referred to as an “ Event ,” and, for purposes of clauses (i) or (ii), the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (iii), the date on which such twenty-five (25) or forty-five (45) calendar day period is exceeded, being referred to as an “ Event Date ”), then in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the earlier of (1) the applicable Event is cured or (2) the Registrable Securities required to be included in such Registration Statement are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 without manner of sale or volume restrictions, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty (“ Liquidated Damages ”), equal to one and a quarter percent (1.25%) of the aggregate purchase price actually paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities required to be included in such Registration Statement. The parties agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Purchase Agreement, no Liquidated Damages shall be payable with respect to any period after the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (it being understood that this sentence shall not relieve the Company of any Liquidated Damages accruing prior to the Effectiveness Deadline) and in no event shall the aggregate amount of Liquidated Damages payable to a Holder exceed, in the aggregate, eleven percent (11.0%) of the aggregate purchase price actually paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and (3) in no event shall the Company be liable in any thirty (30) day period for Liquidated Damages under this Agreement in excess of one and a quarter percent (1.25%) of the aggregate purchase price actually paid by the Holders pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If the Company fails to pay any Liquidated Damages pursuant to this Section 2(c) in full within five (5) Business Days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such Liquidated Damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The Liquidated Damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event, except in the case of the first Event Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall preclude any Holder from pursuing or obtaining any available remedies at law, specific performance or other equitable relief with respect to this Section 2(c) in accordance with applicable law. The Company shall not be liable for Liquidated Damages under this Agreement as to any Registrable Securities which are not permitted by the Commission to be included in a Registration Statement in accordance with SEC Guidance from the time that it is determined that such Registrable Securities are not permitted to be registered until such time as the provisions of this Agreement as to the Remainder Registration Statements required to be filed hereunder are triggered, in which case the provisions of this Section 2(c) shall once again apply, if applicable. In such case, the Liquidated Damages shall be calculated to only apply to the percentage of Registrable Securities which are permitted in accordance with SEC Guidance to be included in such Registration Statement. The Effectiveness Deadline for a Registration Statement shall be extended without default or Liquidated Damages hereunder in the event that the Company’s failure to obtain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on a timely basis results from the failure of a Holder to timely provide the Company with information requested by the Company and necessary to complete the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act.

(d)               Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire not more than five (5) Trading Days following the date of this Agreement (or, as applicable, the date on which such Holder becomes bound by this Agreement). At least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement for any registration under this Agreement, the Company will notify each Holder of the information the Company requires from that Holder other than the information contained in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire, if any, which shall be completed and delivered to the Company promptly upon request and, in any event, within three (3) Trading Days prior to the applicable anticipated filing date. Each Holder further agrees that it shall not be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in a Registration Statement or use a Prospectus for offers and resales of the applicable Registrable Securities at any time, unless such Holder has returned to the Company a completed and signed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire and responses to any requests for further information as described in the previous sentence. If a Holder of Registrable Securities returns a Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or a request for further information, in either case, after its respective deadline, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are required to name such Holder as a selling security holder in the applicable Registration Statement or any pre-effective or post-effective amendment thereto and to include (to the extent not theretofore included) in such Registration Statement the Registrable Securities identified in such late Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or request for further information. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the information in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or request for further information as described in this Section 2(d) will be used by the Company in the preparation of the Registration Statement and hereby consents to the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement.

(e)                In the event that Form S-3 is not  available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of such Registrable Securities on Form S-1, or on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Holders and (ii) undertake to register such Registrable Securities on Form S-3 promptly after such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering such Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.

3. Registration Procedures . In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

(a)                Not less than five (5) Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to the filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (except in connection with Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and any similar or successor reports), (i) furnish to the Holders copies of the “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” sections of such Registration Statement, Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, as proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such Holder (it being acknowledged and agreed that if a Holder does not object to or comment on the aforementioned documents within such five (5) Trading Day or one (1) Trading Day period, as the case may be, then the Holder shall be deemed to have consented to and approved the use of such documents) and (ii) if a Holder has consented to be named as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent registered public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in which either the “Selling Stockholders” or “Plan of Distribution” section is in a form to which a Holder reasonably objects in good faith, provided that, the Company is notified of such objection in writing within the five (5) Trading Day or one (1) Trading Day period described above, as applicable.

(b)               (i) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for its Effectiveness Period; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the Commission with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and, as promptly as reasonably possible, provide the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to such Registration Statement that pertains to the Holders as “Selling Stockholders” but not any comments that would result in the disclosure to the Holders of material non-public information concerning the Company; and (iv) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities cease to be Registrable Securities or shall have been disposed of (subject to the terms of this Agreement) in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Holders thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented; provided, however , that each Holder shall be responsible for the delivery of the Prospectus to the Persons to whom it sells any of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares (including in accordance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act), and each Holder agrees to dispose of Registrable Securities in compliance with the “Plan of Distribution” described in the Registration Statement and otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b) ) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Exchange Act, unless the Company shall have timely delivered a notice of suspension pursuant to Section 3(c) , the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the Commission on the same day on which the Exchange Act report which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement was filed.

(c)                Notify the Holders (which notice shall, if appropriate, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably practicable but, in any event, no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day: (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on any Registration Statement (in which case the Company shall provide to each of the Holders true and complete copies of all comments that pertain to the Holders as a “Selling Stockholder” or to the “Plan of Distribution” and all written responses thereto, but not information that the Company believes would constitute material non-public information); and (C) with respect to each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information that pertains to the Holders as “Selling Stockholders” or the “Plan of Distribution”; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading.

(d)               Use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as soon as practicable.

(e)                If requested by a Holder, furnish to such Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Holder (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission; provided , that the Company shall have no obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission’s EDGAR system.

(f)                Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided , that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

(g)                If requested by a Holder, cooperate with such Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase Agreement and under law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holder may reasonably request.

(h)               Following the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c) , as promptly as reasonably practicable (taking into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of the premature disclosure of such event), prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the affected Registration Statements or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, no Registration Statement nor any Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with Section 3(c) to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(h) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus, subject to the payment of partial Liquidated Damages otherwise required pursuant to Section 2(c) , for a period not to exceed forty-five (45) calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any twelve (12) month period.

(i)                 The Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and any Affiliate thereof, (ii) any Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“ FINRA ”) affiliations, (iii) any natural persons who have the power to vote or dispose of the Common Stock and (iv) any other information as may be requested by the Commission, FINRA or any state securities commission. During any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect to the registration of Registrable Securities because any Holder fails to furnish such information within three (3) Trading Days of the Company’s request, any Liquidated Damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur solely because of such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until such information is delivered to the Company.

(j)                 The Company shall cooperate with any registered broker through which a Holder proposes to resell its Registrable Securities in effecting a filing with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 as requested by any such Holder, and the Company shall pay the filing fee required for the first such filing within five (5) Business Days of the request therefor.

4. Registration Expenses . All fees and expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with its obligations under this Agreement (excluding any underwriting discounts and selling commissions and all legal fees and expenses of legal counsel for any Holder) shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, (B) with respect to compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities and determination of the eligibility of the Registrable Securities for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as requested by the Holders) and (C) if not previously paid by the Company in connection with Section 3(j) hereof, with respect to any filing that may be required to be made by any broker through which a Holder intends to make sales of Registrable Securities with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, so long as the broker is receiving no more than a customary brokerage commission in connection with such sale), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing prospectuses if the printing of prospectuses is reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any underwriting, broker or similar fees or commissions of any Holder or, except to the extent provided for in the Transaction Documents, any legal fees or other costs of the Holders.

5. Indemnification .

(a)                Indemnification by the Company . The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders, Affiliates and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “ Losses ”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that (A) such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions occur in reliance upon and in conformity with information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that each Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (B) such Losses arise out of or are based upon the use by a Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder that the Prospectus is outdated or defective in accordance with Section 3(c) and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated and defined in Section 6(d) , if following the receipt of the Advice the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss would have been corrected or (C) any such Losses arise out of such Holder’s (or any other indemnified Person’s) failure to send or give a copy of the Prospectus or supplement (as then amended or supplemented), if required, pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule) to the Persons asserting an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such Person if such statement or omission was corrected in such Prospectus or supplement. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 5(c) ) and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holders.

(b)               Indemnification by Holders . Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent that such untrue statements or omissions occur in reliance upon and in conformity with information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein or (ii) to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (iii) such Losses arise out of or are based upon the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder that the Prospectus is outdated or defective in accordance with Section 3(c) and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d) . In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c)                Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings . If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “ Indemnified Party ”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided , that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest exists if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party); provided , that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and such settlement does not include any non-monetary limitation on the actions of any Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or any admission of fault or liability on behalf of any such Indemnified Party.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 5 ) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within twenty (20) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided , that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally judicially determined to not be entitled to indemnification hereunder). The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 5 , except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

(d) Contribution . If a claim for indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d) , (A) no Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (B) no contribution will be made under circumstances where the maker of such contribution would not have been required to indemnify the Indemnified Party under the fault standards set forth in this Section 5 . No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 5 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties and are not in diminution or limitation of the indemnification provisions under the Purchase Agreement.

6. Miscellaneous .

(a)                Remedies . Subject to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(b)               No Piggyback on Registrations; Prohibition on Filing Other Registration Statements . Except for shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued by the Company in June 2015 in exchange for warrants issued by the Company on December 2, 2014, and except in connection with registration rights of the Company’s security holders disclosed in the SEC Reports, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in a Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities and the Company shall not prior to the Effective Date of an Initial Registration Statement or New Registration Statement, as the case may be, enter into any agreement providing any such right to any of its security holders. The Company shall not file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or, in connection with an acquisition, on Form S-4 until the earlier of (i) the date that is thirty (30) days after an Initial Registration Statement or New Registration Statement, as the case may be, is declared effective or (ii) the date that all Registrable Securities are eligible for resale by non-affiliates without volume or manner of sale restrictions under Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirements under Rule 144. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be prohibited from preparing and filing with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering of Common Stock by existing stockholders of the Company under the Securities Act pursuant to the terms of registration rights held by such stockholder or from filing amendments to registration statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement.

(c)                Compliance . Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it (unless an exemption therefrom is available) in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and shall sell the Registrable Securities only in accordance with a method of distribution described in the Registration Statement.

(d)               Discontinued Disposition . By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(c)(iii) - (v) , such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “ Advice ”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company agrees and acknowledges that any periods during which the Holder is required to discontinue the disposition of the Registrable Securities hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2(c) .

(e)                No Inconsistent Agreements . Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date hereof, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

(f)                Amendments and Waivers . The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, or waived unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and Holders holding no less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, provided that any party may give a waiver as to itself. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided , however , that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence.

(g)                Notices . Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

(h)               Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Company may not assign its rights (except by merger or in connection with another entity acquiring all or substantially all of the Company’s assets) or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all the Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities. Each Holder may assign its respective rights with respect to any or all of its Conversion Shares and/or Warrant Shares hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under the Purchase Agreement; provided in each case that (i) the Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights and related obligations under this Agreement, and for the transferee or assignee to assume such obligations, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein and (iv) the transferee is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D.

(i)                 Execution and Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature were the original thereof.

(j)                 Governing Law . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

(k)               Cumulative Remedies . Except as provided herein, the remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

(l)                 Severability . If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their good faith reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

(m)             Headings . The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

Guided Therapeutics Announces $4 Million Private Placement

 

NORCROSS, GA (June 30, 2015) -- Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCBB: GTHP) (OTCQB: GTHP) announced today that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors for the private placement of its convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. Gross cash proceeds to the Company are expected to be approximately $4.0 million, prior to the payment of placement agent fees and expenses.

 

In advance of the private placement, the Company negotiated various agreements with existing security holders to effectively eliminate certain price- and share-reset provisions in those securities, allowing the Company to complete the private placement without the additional dilution of its common stock that otherwise would occur upon trigger of those provisions. The Company also negotiated a 14-month extension of its secured promissory note.

 

Net proceeds from the private placement are intended to be used to support manufacturing and marketing of the Guided Therapeutics LuViva® Advanced Cervical Scan. The Company also intends to use a portion of the proceeds to repay its outstanding senior convertible note, in order to avoid further dilution of its common stock.

 

Gene Cartwright, CEO of Guided Therapeutics, stated, “This significant restructuring of the Company’s securities combined with the additional $4 million in cash from the private placement is a major milestone for the Company and will allow us to focus on filling the significant purchase orders that have been signed or are in the works.”

 

Pursuant to the purchase agreement, dated June 29, 2015, the Company has agreed to issue an aggregate of up to 6,737 shares of preferred stock, which are convertible by the holders at any time into an aggregate of up to approximately 70.9 million shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.095 per share. Holders of the preferred stock will be entitled to quarterly cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 12.0%, beginning October 1, 2015 and ending 42 months after the original issuance date, in each case payable in cash or common stock.

 

The Company has further agreed to issue five-year warrants exercisable for an aggregate of approximately 106.4 million shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.095 per share.

 

The private placement will be consummated in two closings, with the first expected to close on June 30, 2015, resulting in gross cash proceeds of approximately $2.5 million of the $4.0 million total. At the second closing, the Company expects to receive the remaining approximately $1.5 million in cash, and certain additional investors are expected to exchange their outstanding shares of the Company’s Series B convertible preferred stock in lieu of a cash payment for their investment.

About LuViva ® Advanced Cervical Scan

LuViva is a technologically advanced diagnostic device that scans the cervix with light and uses spectroscopy to measure how light interacts with the cervical tissue. Spectroscopy identifies chemical and structural indicators of precancer that may be below the surface of the cervix or misdiagnosed as benign. This technique is called biophotonics. Unlike Pap, HPV tests or biopsies, LuViva does not require laboratory analysis or a tissue sample, and is designed to provide results immediately, which may result in eliminating costly, painful and unnecessary additional testing. LuViva is intended for use with women who have undergone initial screening and are called back for follow up with a colposcopy examination, which in many cases, involves taking a biopsy of the cervix. It has also been used in clinical studies in Turkey and Nigeria as a means to screen women for cervical cancer where the availability of infrastructure necessary for Pap and HPV testing is restricted. The device is used in conjunction with the LuViva ® Cervical Guide single-use patient interface and calibration disposable.
