Item 1.01.            Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Agreements with Holders of Certain Warrants

Between June 13, 2016 and June 14, 2016, the Company entered into various agreements with holders of certain warrants (including John Imhoff, the chairman of the Company’s board of directors) originally issued in May 2013, and with GPB Debt Holdings II LLC, holder of a warrant issued February 12, 2016, pursuant to which each holder separately agreed to exchange warrants for either (1) shares of common stock equal to 166% of the number of shares of common stock underlying the surrendered warrants, or (2) new warrants exercisable for 200% of the number of shares underlying the surrendered warrants, but without certain anti-dilution protections included with the surrendered warrants. As a result of the exchanges, the Company effectively eliminates any potential exponential increase in the number of underlying shares issuable upon exercise of its outstanding warrants. In total, for surrendered warrants then-exercisable for an aggregate of 94,825,888 shares of common stock (but subject to exponential increase upon operation of certain anti-dilution provisions), the Company issued or is obligated to issue 13,517,342 shares of common stock and new warrants that, if exercised as of the date hereof, would be exercisable for an aggregate of 173,365,822 shares of common stock.

In certain circumstances, in lieu of presently issuing all of the shares (for each holder that opted for shares of common stock), the Company and the holder further agreed that the Company will, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable warrant exchange agreement, from time to time, be obligated to issue the remaining shares to the holder. No additional consideration will be payable in connection with the issuance of the remaining shares.

The holders that elected to receive shares for their surrendered warrants have agreed that they will not sell shares on any trading day in an amount, in the aggregate, exceeding 20% of the composite aggregate trading volume of the common stock for that trading day.

The holders that elected to receive new warrants will be required to surrender their old warrants upon consummation of the Company’s next financing resulting in net cash proceeds to the Company of at least $1 million. The new warrants will have an initial exercise price equal to the exercise price of the surrendered warrants as of immediately prior to consummation of the financing, subject to customary “downside price protection” for as long as the Company’s common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, and will expire five years from the date of issuance.

The above description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of new warrant and the forms of warrant exchange agreements, attached as Exhibits 4.1, 10.1 and 10.2 to this current report and 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.

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 in Item 1.01 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.

Warrant To Purchase Common Stock

 

Warrant No.: _______

Number of Shares of Common Stock: __________

Date of Issuance: June ___, 2016 (" Issuance Date ")

 

GUIDED THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the " Company "), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, ________________ , the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the " Holder "), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the " Warrant "), at any time or times on or the date hereof (the “ Exercisability Date ”), but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below), ______________________ (_______) fully paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the " Warrant Shares "). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 15. This Warrant is the warrant to purchase Common Stock issued in exchange for the Original Warrant, dated as of May 22, 2013, pursuant that certain Warrant Exchange Agreement (the “ Warrant Exchange Agreement ”), by and among the Company and the Holder. The Original Warrant was issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 21, 2013 among the Company and the investors referred to therein (the " Securities Purchase Agreement ").

1.      EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

(a)    Mechanics of Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Exercisabilty Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the " Exercise Notice "), of the Holder's election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the " Aggregate Exercise Price ") in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder, but shall deliver the original Warrant to the Company promptly following such exercise. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares 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. On or before the first (1 st ) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received each of the Exercise Notice and the Aggregate Exercise Price (or notice of a Cashless Exercise) (the " Exercise Delivery Documents "), the Company shall transmit by facsimile an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Holder and the Company's transfer agent (the " Transfer Agent "). On or before the third (3 rd ) Business Day following the date on which the Company has received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (the " Share Delivery Date "), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (" DTC ") Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder and subject to the requirements of the Transfer Agent, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or as otherwise required by the Transfer Agent, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company's share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder's DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

(b)   Exercise Price . For purposes of this Warrant, " Exercise Price " means $___ per share, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(c)    Company's Failure to Timely Deliver Securities . If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, 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 balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder's exercise of this Warrant , and if on or after such Trading Day 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 exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In" ), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder's 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, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In Price" ), at which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Warrant Shares) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing 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) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of exercise.

(d)   Cashless Exercise . Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the "Net Number" of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a " Cashless Exercise "):

                  Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)

                                                         B

 

      For purposes of the foregoing formula:

A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
B= the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices of the shares of Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.
C= the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

 

 

(e)    Rule 144 . For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date hereof, it is intended that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise 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 the Original Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

(f)    Disputes . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 12.

(g)   Limitations on Exercises . The Company shall not effect the exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such Person (together with such Person’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Warrants, by the Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% or less than 4.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61 st ) day after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and not to any other holder of the Warrants. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the limitation set forth in this Section 1(g) applies, the determination (i) of whether the exercise of this Warrant may be effected (vis-a-vis other Options or Convertible Securities owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates) and (ii) of which such Options or Convertible Securities shall be convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as the case may be, as among all such securities owned by the Holder) 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). The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner other than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(g) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

(h)               Insufficient Authorized Shares . If at any time while any of the Warrants 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 exercise of the Warrants at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (the " Required Reserve Amount ") the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of the Warrants then outstanding (an " Authorized Share Failure "), then the Company shall immediately take all action 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 Warrants 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 sixty (60) 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.

2.      ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES . The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(a)    Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock . If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2(b) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(b)   Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock . For as long as the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, if the Company sells any shares of Common Stock (other than in an Exempt Issuance, as defined below) for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price then in effect immediately prior to such sale, then immediately upon such sale the Exercise Price will be automatically adjusted to a price equal to the price paid per share in such sale. “ Exempt Issuance ” means: (1) the issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion of, or dividends or distributions on, any Common Stock equivalents outstanding as of the date hereof, provided that such Common Stock equivalents have not been amended since the date hereof to increase the number of underlying securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities (other than automatically pursuant to their terms); (2) the issuance of shares of Common Stock (or Common Stock equivalents to employees or directors of, or consultants to, the Company upon approval by the Company’s board of directors or under a stock plan approved by the Company’s board of directors (not including the reissuance of shares repurchased by the Company from employees of the Company); (3) the issuance of securities pursuant hereto or upon exercise of any securities issued in exchange for the Original Warrant (or warrants of the same class as the Original Warrant); (4) the issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents to any existing holder of the Company’s securities as of the date hereof that do not exceed $150,000 of Common Stock in the aggregate, which issuances are for the purpose of obtaining benefits and/or waivers from such holder and not for financing purposes; (5) 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 Company; (6) the issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents in connection with a bona fide strategic license agreement, sponsored research agreement, collaboration agreement, development agreement, OEM agreement, marketing or distribution agreement, or other bona fide partnering arrangement, so long as such issuance is not for the primary purpose of raising capital by the Company; (7) the issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents to a bank or other financial institution pursuant to a bona fide commercial debt financing or to equipment lessor pursuant to a bona fide equipment leasing agreement; and (8) the issuance of Common Stock upon a stock split, stock dividend or subdivision of the Common Stock.

3.      RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if the Company 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 Warrant, 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 exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on 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 Distributions would result in the Holder exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or the beneficial ownership of any such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and such Distribution to such extent 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 Maximum Percentage).

4.      PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS .

(a)    Purchase Rights . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities 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 which 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 the exercise of this Warrant) 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.

(b)   Fundamental Transactions . Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, if the Holder has not exercised this Warrant prior to the closing of a Fundamental Transaction, the Holder may, at its election by written notice to the Company (an “ Election Notice ”), either: (a) give notice of its intent to exercise this Warrant in advance of such Fundamental Transaction (and may condition such exercise on the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction) by returning the Exercise Notice attached hereto duly executed by or on behalf of such Holder; or (b) in lieu of exercising this Warrant in advance of such Fundamental Transaction and receiving the consideration which the holder of the Warrant Shares issuable on such conversion of this Warrant would receive in connection with such Fundamental Transaction (the “ Event Consideration ”), surrender this Warrant for cancelation and to receive, in redemption of and in exchange for this Warrant, an amount equal to the difference between (i) the Event Consideration with respect to the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, minus (ii) the Aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction (the “ Net Warrant Event Consideration ”). If, in connection with such Fundamental Transaction, the price per share paid for shares of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price in effect at the time of immediately preceding the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction (as determined in good faith by the Company), such consideration is in the form of all cash and/or marketable securities, and the Holder has not, prior to the time immediately preceding the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, provided an Election Notice, then (x) the Holder shall be deemed to have elected to surrender this Warrant for cancelation and to receive, in redemption of and in exchange for this Warrant, an amount equal to the Net Warrant Event Consideration, and (y) this Warrant shall be terminated and of no further force after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction other than as evidence of the Holder’s right to receive the Net Warrant Event Consideration.

5.      NONCIRCUMVENTION . The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws 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 Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise 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 exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any of the Warrants 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 exercise of the Warrants, the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of the Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

6.      WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, 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, 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. Notwithstanding this Section 6, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.

7.      REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS .

(a)    Transfer of Warrant . If this Warrant is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less then the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.

(b)   Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant . Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.

(c)    Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants . This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, that no Warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be given.

(d)   Issuance of New Warrants . Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.

8.      NOTICES . Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Warrant, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefore. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will give written notice to the Holder (i) immediately upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the shares of Common Stock, (B) with respect to any grants, issuances or sales of any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property to holders of shares of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder.

9.      AMENDMENT AND WAIVER .

EXHIBIT 10.1

WARRANT EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

This Warrant Exchange Agreement (this “ Agreement ”) is dated as of June ___ 2016, among Guided Therapeutics, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and _________________ (the “ Holder ”)

WHEREAS , the Holder is the holder of that certain Warrant to purchase ______ shares of Common Stock of the Company, dated ______________ (the “ Original Warrant ”); and

WHEREAS , subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), the Company desires to exchange with the Holder, and the Holder, desires to exchange with the Company, the Original Warrant for shares of Common Stock, as more fully described in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Holder agree as follows (with capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined having the meanings set forth in the Original Warrant):

1.                  Exchange of the Original Warrant .

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, as of the date hereof (the “ Closing Date ”), the Holder hereby sells, assigns, delivers and transfers to the Company all of its right, title and interest in and to the Original Warrant in exchange for that number of shares of the Company’s freely tradable Common Stock equal to 166% of the number of shares underlying the Original Warrant as of the date hereof (the “ Exchange Shares ”); provided , however , that if the number of Exchange Shares, when added to any other shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would be greater than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of the date hereof, then the number of Exchange Shares shall be automatically reduced so that the Holder’s beneficial ownership would not exceed such percentage and the Holder shall have the right to the issuance of that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the amount of the reduction subject to adjustment hereunder (the “ Reserved Shares ” and such right of the Holder, the “ Right ”). If the Right is granted pursuant to this Section 1, then the Company and the Holder acknowledge that no additional consideration shall be payable in connection with the Holder’s exercise of the Right or the issuance of the Reserved Shares in accordance herewith.

 

2.                  Deliveries .

(a)                Exchange Shares . On the date hereof, and conditioned upon delivery of an opinion of counsel to Holder in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company’s transfer agent (if required by the Company’s transfer agent), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver to the Holder the Exchange Shares by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at the Depositary Trust Company (“ DTC ”) in accordance with the instructions set forth on Schedule A , or otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder on Schedule A . Effective upon the Holder’s receipt of such Exchange Shares and, if applicable, the grant of the Right hereunder, the Original Warrant held by the Holder will be deemed cancelled and all rights of the Holder thereunder will terminate. As soon as commercially practicable following the date hereof, the Holder shall return the original certificates with respect to the Original Warrant to the Company (or a lost warrant affidavit in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company).

(b)               Reserved Shares .

(1)               Right of Issuance of Reserved Shares; Delivery of Reserved Shares . Subject to Section 2(b)(3) below, exercise of the Right, if granted pursuant to Section 1, may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the date hereof 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 Notice of Issuance Form annexed hereto as Exhibit A . Partial exercises of the Right resulting in issuances of a portion of the total number of Reserved Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Reserved Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Reserved Shares issued. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Reserved Shares issued and the date of such issuances. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Issuance Form within two business days of receipt of such notice. The Holder acknowledges that, by reason of the provisions of this Section 2(b)(1), following each exercise of the Right issued hereunder and the issuance of a portion of the Reserved Shares pursuant thereto, the number of Reserved Shares available for issuance pursuant to the Right issued hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount provided in Section 1. Conditioned upon delivery of an opinion of counsel to Holder in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company’s transfer agent (if required by the Company’s transfer agent), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver to the Holder the Reserve Shares by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at the DTC in accordance with the instructions set forth on Exhibit A , or otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder on Exhibit A , by the date that is three Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Issuance (such date, the “ Share Delivery Date ”). The Reserved Shares shall 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 date the Right has been exercised.

(2)                 Impairment . 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 Agreement, 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 the Holder as set forth in this Agreement against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Reserved Shares upon the exercise of the Right and (ii) use reasonable best 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 Agreement. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Reserved Shares for which the Right provides for, 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.

(3)                 Holder’s Limitations . The Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Right, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Issuance, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group 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 shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Right with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of the Right beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Convertible Securities) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. The Company shall not be liable for any instruction received by the Holder. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(b)(3), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder 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(b)(3) applies, the determination of whether the Right is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of the Right is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Issuance shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether the Right is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of the Right is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership 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 2(b)(3), 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 (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 the 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. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Right, 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 the Right. The Holder may decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation at any time and the Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(b)(3), 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 held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(b)(3) shall continue to apply. Any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(b)(3) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) that may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 2(b)(3) shall apply to a successor holder of this Agreement.

(4)                 Tacking and Acknowledgement . The Company acknowledges and represents to the Holder that the holding period of the Exchange Shares, the Rights and the Reserved Shares may be tacked onto the holding period of the Original Warrant for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and such holding period has not been changed, reset, recommenced or otherwise affected by the transactions described in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt the Company acknowledges that such Rule 144 holding period commenced May 22, 2013 and the Company shall not take any position contrary to this Section 2(b)(4) with respect to the Exchange Shares, the Rights or the Reserved Shares.

(5)                 Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while the Right exists: (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, (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 number of Reserved Shares issuable upon exercise of the Right shall be proportionately adjusted. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2(b)(5) will become effective immediately upon the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution (provided that if the declaration of such dividend or distribution is rescinded or otherwise canceled, then such adjustment will be reversed upon notice to the Holder of the termination of such proposed declaration or distribution as to any unexercised portion of the Right at the time of such rescission or cancelation) and will become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

(6)                 Subsequent Rights Offerings . If Section 2(b)(5) above does not apply, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Convertible Securities or other 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 which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of the Right (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).

(7)                 Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while any Right remains 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, (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 Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (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, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement 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 stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of the Right, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Reserved 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(b)(3) on the exercise of the Right), 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 one share of Common Stock. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (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 Agreement 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 Agreement with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

(8)                 Notice to Allow Exercise of Right . If (A) the Company declares a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company declares a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company authorizes 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 is 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 authorizes 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 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. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise the Right during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

(9)                 No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise . This Agreement does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Reserve Shares prior to the exercise of the Right.

The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Reserved Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the principal trading market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.

(2)                 The Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court, governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other person, including, without limitation, any other security holders of the Company, in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by this Agreement. All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which the Company is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained or effected on or prior to the date hereof.

(3)                 The exchange of the Original Warrant for the Exchange Shares and, if applicable, the Right and the Reserve Shares is being consummated pursuant to Sections 3(a)(9) and Rule 149 of the Securities Act. The Company has not engaged in any general solicitation or engaged or agreed to compensate any broker or agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. None of the Company, its subsidiaries, any of their affiliates, and any person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of any of the Exchanged Shares under the Securities Act or cause this Exchange to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable stockholder approval provisions. None of the Company, its subsidiaries, their affiliates and any person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps referred to in the preceding sentence that would require registration of any of the Exchange Shares under the Securities Act.

(4)                 The Company is not, and has never been, an issuer identified in, or subject to, Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act.

(5)                 To the Company’s actual knowledge, upon issuance, the Exchange Shares are eligible for sale by the Holders to the public without registration under the Securities Act.

(6)                 The Company confirms that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf has provided the Holder or their agent or counsel with any information that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute material, nonpublic information. The Company understands and confirms that the Holder will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

(7)                 The Holder will in connection with the execution of this Agreement, deliver to the transfer agent any required legal opinions or documentation necessary to effect the delivery of the Exchange Shares and, if applicable, the Reserve Shares, to the Holder as required hereby and the Company will accept such opinion and instruct its transfer agent to deliver the Exchange Shares and, if applicable, the Reserve Shares, to the Holder free of restrictive legend without objection or delay. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with the issuance of the Exchange Shares hereunder. Assuming delivery of such opinions and documentation in form satisfactory to the Company’s transfer agent, if, by the third (3rd) trading day from the date hereof the Company (through its transfer agent) shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder the Exchange Shares or, if applicable, the Reserve Shares, by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at DTC, and if on or after such Trading Day 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 such Securities that the holder anticipated receiving without legend from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the holder’s 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, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such unlegended Securities shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the holder such unlegended Securities as provided above 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) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price (as defined in the Warrants) on the date of exercise.

(c)                Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Holder . The Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company that the Holder: (i) is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Original Warrant free and clear of any liens, encumbrances, pledges, security interests or other restrictions or claims of third parties, (ii) is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D under the Act) and is acquiring the Exchange Shares for its own account and not with a view to any distribution thereof except in compliance with the Securities Act; (iii) is not an “affiliate” of the Company (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act), (iv) has made all investigations that it deems necessary or desirable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has had an opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and (v) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Common Stock.

(d)               All representations, warranties and agreements of each party hereto shall survive the Closing.

 

4.                  Additional Covenants.

(a)                Disclosure of Transaction and Other Material Information. The Company shall, on or before 8:30 a.m., New York City Time, on the first Business Day after the date of this Agreement, issue a current report on Form 8-K (the” Form 8-K ”) disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. From and after the issuance of the Form 8-K, the Holder shall not be in possession of any material, nonpublic information received from the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents, that is not disclosed in the Form 8-K. The Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, not to, provide the Holder with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the filing of the Form 8-K without the express written consent of the Holder.

All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to such a more favorable offer (a “Superior Agreement”), then (i) the Company shall provide notice thereof to the Investor immediately following the occurrence thereof and (ii) the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be, without any further action by the Holder or the Company, automatically amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Holder shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in such Superior Agreement, provided that upon written notice to the Company at any time the Holder may elect not to accept the benefit of any such amended or modified term or condition, in which event the term or condition contained in this Agreement shall apply to the Holder as it was in effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Holder.
