1.             
The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
In 1965, the corporate predecessor of GT Biopharma, Diagnostic Data, Inc. was incorporated in the State of California. Diagnostic Data changed its incorporation to the State of Delaware in 1972; and changed its name to DDI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in 1985. In 1994, DDI Pharmaceuticals merged with International BioClinical, Inc. and Bioxytech S.A. and changed its name to OXIS International, Inc. In July 2017, the Company changed its name to GT Biopharma, Inc.
 
Going Concern
 
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $261,870,000 through September 30, 2017 .  On a consolidated basis, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,732,000 at September 30, 2017 . The Company's plan is to raise additional capital until such time that the Company generates sufficient revenues to cover its cash flow needs and/or it achieves profitability. However, the Company cannot assure that it will accomplish this task and there are many factors that may prevent the Company from reaching its goal of profitability.
 
The current rate of cash usage raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, absent any sources of significant cash flows.  In an effort to mitigate this near-term concern the Company intends to seek additional equity or debt financing to obtain sufficient funds to sustain operations.  However, the Company cannot provide assurance that it will successfully obtain equity or debt or other financing, if any, sufficient to finance its goals or that the Company will generate future product related revenues.  The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue in existence.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities revenues and expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Basis of Consolidation and Comprehensive Income
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GT Biopharma, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted herein. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information presented herein reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The Company is responsible for the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included in this report. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
The Company's cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable are monitored for exposure to concentrations of credit risk. The Company maintains substantially all of its cash balances in a limited number of financial institutions. The balances are each insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company has balances in excess of this limit totaling 2,480,141 at September 30, 2017.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of debt is based upon current interest rates for debt instruments with comparable maturities and characteristics and approximates the carrying amount.
 
Stock Based Compensation to Employees
 
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation for employees in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718.  The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees over the related vesting period.
 
The Company granted no stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. Lessees are required to be classified as either operating or finance on the income statements based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting.  The guidance becomes effective on January 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this update will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
In July 2017, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-11 “Earnings per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)” (“ASU 2017-11”) to address narrow issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. Part I of the amendment change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. Part II of the update recharacterize   the indefinite deferral of   certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. Part I of ASU 2017-11 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim period within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company had a number of equity linked financial instruments with down round provisions which were converted to common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets
 
The Company's long-lived assets currently consist of capitalized patents. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If any of the Company's long-lived assets are considered to be impaired, the amount of impairment to be recognized is equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over the fair value of the assets.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach, whereby deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax effects, based on current enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between financial and tax reporting for current and prior periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance if the corresponding future tax benefits may not be realized.
 
Net Income (Loss) per Share
 
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the potential dilutive effect of common shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of outstanding stock options and warrants during the period. The weighted average number of potentially dilutive common shares excluded from the calculation of net income (loss) per share totaled in 1,514,905 and 128,034 as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Certain intangible assets were acquired as part of a business combination, and have been capitalized at their acquisition date fair value. Acquired definite life intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives.  The Company evaluates the potential impairment of intangible assets if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment within the Company’s single reporting unit on an annual basis, during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit below its carrying amount.
 
Patents
 
Acquired patents are capitalized at their acquisition cost or fair value. The legal costs, patent registration fees and models and drawings required for filing patent applications are capitalized if they relate to commercially viable technologies. Commercially viable technologies are those technologies that are projected to generate future positive cash flows in the near term. Legal costs associated with patent applications that are not determined to be commercially viable are expensed as incurred. All research and development costs incurred in developing the patentable idea are expensed as incurred. Legal fees from the costs incurred in successful defense to the extent of an evident increase in the value of the patents are capitalized.
 
Capitalized cost for pending patents are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining twenty year legal life of each patent after the costs have been incurred. Once each patent is issued, capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the patent's remaining statutory life, estimated economic life or ten years.

Fixed Assets
 
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment and the shorter of the lease term or estimated economic life for leasehold improvements.
 
Fair Value
 
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.  The three levels are defined as follows:
 
● 
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. The Company’s Level 1 assets include cash equivalents, primarily institutional money market funds, whose carrying value represents fair value because of their short-term maturities of the investments held by these funds.
 
● 
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
● 
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and reported as research and development expense. Research and development costs totaling $911,000 and $725,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
License Revenue
 
License arrangements may consist of non-refundable upfront license fees, exclusive licensed rights to patented or patent pending technology, and various performance or sales milestones and future product royalty payments. Some of these arrangements are multiple element arrangements.
 
Non-refundable, up-front fees that are not contingent on any future performance by us, and require no consequential continuing involvement on our part, are recognized as revenue when the license term commences and the licensed data, technology and/or compound is delivered.  We defer recognition of non-refundable upfront fees if we have continuing performance obligations without which the technology, right, product or service conveyed in conjunction with the non-refundable fee has no utility to the licensee that is separate and independent of our performance under the other elements of the arrangement. In addition, if we have continuing involvement through research and development services that are required because our know-how and expertise related to the technology is proprietary to us, or can only be performed by us, then such up-front fees are deferred and recognized over the period of continuing involvement.
 
Payments related to substantive, performance-based milestones in a research and development arrangement are recognized as revenue upon the achievement of the milestones as specified in the underlying agreements when they represent the culmination of the earnings process.

Debt
 
Senior secured convertible debentures
 
On October 25, 2006, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (“2006 Purchase Agreement”) with four accredited investors (the “2006 Purchasers”). In conjunction with the signing of the 2006 Purchase Agreement, the Company issued secured convertible debentures (“2006 Debentures”) and Series A, B, C, D, and E common stock warrants (“2006 Warrants”) to the 2006 Purchasers, and the parties also entered into a security agreement (the “2006 Security Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to grant the 2006 Purchasers, pari passu, a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the 2006 Purchase Agreement, the Company issued the 2006 Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $1,694,250 to the 2006 Purchasers. The 2006 Debentures are subject to an original issue discount of 20.318% resulting in proceeds to the Company of $1,350,000 from the transaction. The 2006 Debentures were due on October 25, 2008. The 2006 Debentures are convertible, at the option of the 2006 Purchasers, at any time prior to payment in full, into shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the full ratchet anti-dilution provision the current conversion price is the lesser of $120.00 or 60% of the average of the lowest three trading prices occurring at any time during the 20 trading days preceding conversion (the “2006 Conversion Price”). Beginning on the first of the month beginning February 1, 2007, the Company was required to amortize the 2006 Debentures in equal installments on a monthly basis resulting in a complete repayment by the maturity date (the “Monthly Redemption Amounts”). The Monthly Redemption Amounts could have been paid in cash or in shares, subject to certain restrictions. If the Company chose to make any Monthly Redemption Amount payment in shares of common stock, the price per share would have been the lesser of the Conversion Price then in effect and 85% of the weighted average price for the 10-trading days prior to the due date of the Monthly Redemption Amount. The Company did not make any of the required monthly redemption payments.
 
Pursuant to the provisions of the 2006 Debentures, such non-payment was an event of default and penalty interest has accrued on the unpaid redemption balance at an interest rate equal to the lower of 18% per annum and the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. In addition, each of the 2006 Purchasers has the right to accelerate the cash repayment of at least 130% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2006 Debenture (plus accrued but unpaid liquidated damages and interest) and to sell substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to the provisions of the 2006 Security Agreement to satisfy any such unpaid balance.
 
The Company and Bristol entered into a Forbearance Agreement on December 3, 2015, pursuant to which Bristol agreed to refrain and forbear from exercising certain rights and remedies with respect the 2006 Debentures for three months. In exchange for the Forbearance Agreement, the Company issued an allonge in the amount of $350,000 increasing the principal amount of the 2006 Debentures.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 the Company converted the remaining balance of $889,000 of the 2006 Debentures into common stock of the Company.  
 
Convertible debentures
 
From October 2009 to August 2017, the Company has entered into multiple convertible debenture arrangements with several accredited investors (“Convertible Debentures”). Interest on the Convertible Debentures ranges for 0% to 18% with a default rate of 18%. The Convertible Debentures are either two year or six month notes.

The conversion price of the Convertible Debentures is subject to full ratchet anti-dilution adjustment in the event that the Company thereafter issues common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share less than the conversion price or the exercise price, respectively, and to other normal and customary anti-dilution adjustment upon certain other events. As a result of the full ratchet anti-dilution provision, the current conversion price is the lesser of (i) $15.00 or (ii) the average of the three (3) lowest intra-day trading prices of the Common Stock during the 20 Trading Days immediately prior to the date on which the Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Company and the default conversion price is 65% of the average of the lowest three trading prices occurring at any time during the 20 trading days preceding conversion.
 
The holders of the Convertible Debentures have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to convert their Convertible Debentures and receive shares of our common stock such that the number of shares of the Company common stock held by holders and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.9% or 9.9% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. On August 31, 2017, the Company converted all Convertible Debentures into common and Series J preferred stock of the Company.

Pursuant to the Agreement, GT Biopharma shall pay Bristol (half of which payment would redound to Theorem Capital LLC (“Theorem”)) a total of $1,119,778 as payment in full for the losses suffered and all costs incurred by Bristol in connection with the Transaction. Payment of such $1,119,778 shall be made as follows: GT Biopharma shall issue restricted common stock to each of Bristol and Theorem, in an amount such that each Bristol and Theorem shall hold no more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of GT Biopharma (including any shares that each may hold as of the date of issuance). The shares so issued represent $417,475.65 of the $1,119,778 payment (371 shares at $1,125.00 per share, of which 122 will be retained by Bristol and 249 will be issued to Theorem). The remaining balance of the payment shall be made in the form of two convertible promissory notes in the respective amounts of $422,357.75 for Bristol and $279,944.60 for Theorem (collectively, the “Notes”) with a maturity of December 1, 2017 having an 8% annual interest rate, with interest only accruing until January 1, 2013, and then level payments of $3,750 each beginning January 1, 2013 until paid in full on December 1, 2017. In the event a default in the monthly payments on the Notes has occurred and is continuing each holder of the Notes shall be permitted to convert the unpaid principal and interest of the Notes into shares of GT Biopharma at $120.00 cents per share. In the absence of such continuing default no conversion of the Notes will be permitted. GT Biopharma will have the right to repay the Notes in full at any time without penalty. On August 31,2017 the Company converted the remaining balance of $691,000 of the Settlement Note Payable into common stock of the Company.

Overview
 
We are an immuno-oncology company with a close-to-market central nervous system, or CNS, portfolio of products. Our immuno-oncology portfolio is based off a robust technology platform consisting of single-chain bi-, tri- and tetra-specific scFv’s, combined with proprietary antibody-drug linkers and drug payloads. Constructs include bispecific and trispecific scFv constructs, , proprietary drug payloads, bispecific targeted antibody-drug conjugates, or ADCs, as well as tri- and tetra-specific antibody-directed cellular cytotoxicity, or ADCC. Our proprietary tri- and tetra-specific ADCC platform engages natural killer cells, or NK cells. NK cells are cytotoxic lymphocytes of the innate immune system capable of immune surveillance. NK cells mediate ADCC through the highly potent CD16 activating receptor. Upon activation, NK cells deliver a store of membrane penetrating apoptosis-inducing molecules. Unlike T cells, NK cells do not require antigen priming.
 
Our CNS portfolio consists of innovative reformulations and/or repurposing of existing therapies. These new therapeutic agents address numerous unmet medical needs that can lead to improved efficacy while addressing tolerability and safety issues that tended to limit the usefulness of the original approved drug. These CNS drug candidates address disease states such as chronic neuropathic pain, myasthenia gravis and vestibular disorders.
 
OXS-1550
 
OXS-1550 is a bispecific scFv recombinant fusion protein-drug conjugate composed of the variable regions of the heavy and light chains of anti-CD19 and anti-CD22 antibodies and a modified form of diphtheria toxin as its cytotoxic drug payload.  CD19 is a membrane glycoprotein present on the surface of all stages of B-lymphocyte development, and is also expressed on most B-cell mature lymphoma cells and leukemia cells.  CD22 is a glycoprotein expressed on B-lineage lymphoid precursors, including precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and often is co-expressed with CD19 on mature B-cell malignancies such as lymphoma.
 
OXS-1550 targets cancer cells expressing the CD19 receptor or CD22 receptor or both receptors.  When OXS-1550 binds to cancer cells, the cancer cells internalize OXS-1550, and are killed due to the action of drug’s cytotoxic diphtheria toxin payload.  OXS-1550 has demonstrated encouraging results in a Phase 1 human clinical trial in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma or leukemia.
 
 
14
 
 
The initial phase 1 study enrolled 25 patients with mature or precursor B-cell lymphoid malignancies expressing CD19 and/or CD22. All 25 patients received at least a single course of therapy. The treatment at the higher doses produced objective tumor responses with one patient in continuous partial remission and the second in complete remission. A Phase 1/Phase 2 trial of OXS-1550 is underway. FDA-allowed clinical trial is being conducted at the University of Minnesota's Masonic Cancer Center. There are currently 18 patients enrolled in this clinical trial. Patients in this trial are given an approved increased dosage and schedule of OXS-1550.
 
Oxis began enrolling patients in Phase 2 trial of OXS-1550 during the first quarter of 2017 at the University of Minnesota’s Masonic Cancer Center. The first patient began dosing in April 2017.
 
OXS-3550
 
OXS-3550 is a single-chain, trispecific scFv recombinant fusion protein conjugate composed of the variable regions of the heavy and light chains of anti-CD16 and anti-CD33 antibodies and a modified form of IL-15. When the NK stimulating cytokine human IL-15 is used as a crosslinker between the two scFvs, it provides a self-sustaining signal that activates NK cells and enhances their ability to kill. We intend to study this anti-CD16-IL-15-anti-CD33 tri-specific killer engager, or TriKE, in CD33 positive leukemias, a marker expressed on tumor cells in acute myelogenous leukemia, or AML, myelodysplastic syndrome, or MDS, and other hematopoietic malignancies. CD33 is primarily a myeloid differentiation antigen with endocytic properties broadly expressed on AML blasts and, possibly, some leukemic stem cells. CD33 or Siglec-3 (sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin 3, SIGLEC3, SIGLEC3, gp67, p67) is a transmembrane receptor expressed on cells of myeloid lineage. It is usually considered myeloid-specific, but it can also be found on some lymphoid cells. The anti-CD33 antibody fragment that will be used for these studies was derived from the M195 humanized anti-CD33 scFV and has been used in multiple human clinical studies. It has been exploited as target for therapeutic antibodies for many years. Improved survival seen in many patients when the antibody-drug conjugate gemtuzumab was added to conventional chemotherapy validates this approach.
 
The TriKE IND (OXS 3550) will focus on AML, the most common form of adult leukemia with 21,000 new cases expected in 2017 alone (American Cancer Society). These patients will require frontline therapy, usually chemotherapy including cytarabine and an anthracycline, a therapy that has not changed in over 40 years. Also, about half will have relapses and require alternative therapies. In addition, about 13,000 new cases of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) are diagnosed each year and there are minimal treatment options (Siegel et al, 2014). At a minimum, OXS-3550 can be expected to serve as a relatively safe, inexpensive, and easy to use therapy for resistant/relapsing AML. From a biologic standpoint, it could also be combined with chemotherapy as frontline therapy.
 
The IND was filed in in the third quarter of 2017, FDA requested that additional preclinical toxicology be conducted prior to initiating clinical trials. The FDA also requested clarifications on the manufacturing. The requested additional toxicology studies and clarifications will be incorporated by GT Biopharma in the IND that was recently transferred to the Company.
 
OXS-4235, p62/SQSTM1 (Sequestosome-1) Inhibitor Drug Development Program
 
In humans, the p62/SQSTM1 protein is encoded by the SQSTM1 gene.  The p62/SQSTM1 protein is a multifunctional protein involved in autophagy, cell signaling and tumorigenesis, and plays an important role at the crossroad between autophagy and cancer.  Cell-cell interactions between multiple myeloma cells and bone marrow stromal cells activate signaling pathways that result in enhanced multiple myeloma cell growth, osteoclast formation, and inhibition of osteoblast differentiation.
  
Multiple myeloma remains an incurable malignancy with systematic morbidity and a median survival of 3-5 years.  Multiple myeloma is characterized by aberrant proliferation of terminally differentiated plasma cells and impairment in apoptosis capacity.  Due to the interactions between myeloma cells and cells of the bone marrow microenvironment, the osteolytic bone disease associated with myeloma is inextricably linked with tumor progression.  High incidence of bone metastasis in multiple myeloma patients is frequently associated with severe bone pain and pathological bone fracture.  Activated osteoclast levels and suppressed osteoblast levels are thought to play a role in multiple myeloma associated osteolytic bone disease.

While a diverse spectrum of novel agents has shown therapeutic potential for the treatment of multiple myeloma including bortezomib, lenalidomide and arsenic trioxide, high relapse rates and drug resistance continue to plague these therapies.  Thus, novel targets and new therapeutics for the treatment of multiple myeloma are of critical importance for improved patient outcomes.
 
It has been demonstrated that the ZZ domain of the p62/SQSTM1 protein is responsible for increased multiple myeloma cell growth and associated osteoclast mediated bone disease.  Dr. Xiang-Qun Xie and colleagues at ID4 Pharma LLC, or ID4, have developed novel chemical compounds (e.g., OXS-4235) that inhibit osteoclastic bone destruction in multiple myeloma.  Oxis Biotech has exclusively licensed rights to OXS-4235 and other compounds for the treatment of multiple myeloma and associated osteolytic bone disease.
 
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or U.S. PTO, approved and issued Patent No. 9,580,382 for drug candidate OXIS-4235 for the treatment of myeloma in July 2017.
 
OXS-2175, Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Drug Development Program
 
OXS-2175 is a small molecule therapeutic candidate which has shown promise in early-stage preclinical  in vitro  and  in vivo  models of triple-negative breast cancer.  GTBP is investigating OXS-2175 formulated as an ADC therapy for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer.
 
PainBrake
 
PainBrake is a new patented formulation of carbamazepine (Tegretol ® ) that enables accurate dose fractionation for the treatment of neuropathic pain, a condition that results from a dysfunction of nerves involved in the perception of pain and that is typically chronic and particularly prevalent in elderly patients. An NIH-supported study published in 2009 estimated that almost 16 million Americans suffer from chronic neuropathic pain (Yawn et al., 2009) and this number is expected to increase due to the aging population. Current drugs provide a useful degree of pain relief in only about half the patients, very few patients achieve complete relief of pain (Nightingale, 2012). Peak dose-limiting side effects, mainly sedation, somnolence, dizziness and balance problems which are poorly tolerated by the elderly (Oomens et al., 2015) cause patients to be under-dosed, thereby contributing to inadequate pain relief. This is particularly true for carbamazepine, a drug that is considered to be the first line therapy for the treatment of certain forms of neuropathic pain (Zakrzewska, 2015).
 
To overcome dose-limiting side effects, PainBrake tablets employ an innovative bilayered, deeply scored design patented by AccuBreak. The top layer contains carbamazepine and is pre-divided by deep scoring during the manufacturing process to provide exact doses enabling easy tablet splitting into exact doses. The bottom layer provides mechanical stability and serves as the break region when splitting the tablet. We have in-licensed against milestones and royalties the worldwide rights to the use of the AccuBreak technology for the delivery of drugs that like carbamazepine are voltage-gated sodium channel blockers.  The core patent for the AccuBreak technology expires in 2025.
 
GTP-004
 
GTP-004 is a fixed-dose combination tablet for the treatment of the muscle weakness associated with myasthenia gravis. GTP-004 combines pyridostigmine (Mestinon ® ) with an antagonist of the gastrointestinal, or GI, side effects of pyridostigmine.
 
Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune disease of the neuromuscular junction characterized by muscle weakness. The disease occurs in all ethnic groups and both genders. The prevalence of the disease in the United States is estimated at 14 to 20 per 100,000 population, approximately 36,000 to 60,000 cases in the U.S. (Howard, 2015). Myasthenia gravis most commonly affects adult women (under 40) and older men (over 60), but it can occur at any age (Myasthenia Gravis Fact Sheet; National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, 2016).
 
 
16
 
 
Cholinesterase inhibitors, or ChEIs, that do not get into the brain (do not cross the blood-brain barrier), such as Mestinon ® (pyridostigmine) or Prostigmine ® (neostigmine) are used to treat the muscular weakness associated with myasthenia gravis. However, AChEIs also act at cholinergic synapses in the gut to cause GI side effects such as diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, which are dose-limiting. The GI side effects associated with Mestinon ® are an important source of discomfort for the patient, may be the source of non-compliance, or may result in the need to decrease the dose of Mestinon ® to mitigate these side effects when these become dose-limiting. As a consequence, efficacy may be reduced. Mitigating the GI side effects of Mestinon ® with a drug that prevents diarrhea, nausea and vomiting should lead to greater patient comfort, safety, and compliance as well as to improved efficacy.
 
Since GTP-004 is a combination tablet of two approved drugs, we anticipate that the new drug application, or NDA, will be a 505(B)2 NDA. This is an abbreviated and more streamlined form of NDA than a full application, which would generally require information about the safety and effectiveness of the drug to come from studies conducted by or for the applicant. This can result in a faster and less costly approval process.
 
Provisional patent applications protecting the combination of Mestinon ® or Prostigmine ® with a number of antiemetic drugs were filed by GTP in early 2017.
 
GTP-011
 
GTP-011 is a 72-hour patch patented by GTP for the prevention of motion sickness, a well-known syndrome that typically involves nausea and vomiting in otherwise healthy people and that occurs upon exposure to certain types of motion.
 
Currently, the scopolamine patch (Transderm Scop ® from Novartis) is viewed as a first-line medication for prevention of motion sickness (Gil et al., 2012; Brainard and Gresham, 2014). However, side effects can be of particular concern and include sedation (Spinks et al., 2004), reduced memory for new information, impaired attention, and lowered feelings of alertness (Parrott, 1989). Mental confusion or delirium can occur after application of scopolamine patch (Seo et al., 2009). Elderly people as well as people with undetected incipient dementia or mild cognitive impairment, or MCI, may be particularly prone to develop mental confusion after applying the scopolamine patch (Seo et al., 2009). 
 
GTP-011 like scopolamine, is a patch that contains a muscarinic receptor antagonist. Unlike scopolamine, however, it has been reported not to affect memory and cognition and has a low incidence of sedation (Kay et al., 2012) . GTP-011 may thus be a safer alternative to the scopolamine patch for the treatment of motion sickness.
 
Since GTP-011 is a new patch of an approved drug, we anticipate that the NDA will be a 505(b)2 NDA.

Results of Operations
 
Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred $526,000 and $250,000 of research and development expenses.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred $126,323,000 and $2,280,000 of selling, general and administrative expenses.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to an increase stock compensation.
 
Change in value of warrant and derivative liabilities
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a loss as a result of an increase in the fair market value of outstanding warrants and beneficial conversion features of $1,451,000 compared to income of $436,000 during the three months ended September 31, 2016. We recorded a loss as a result of the conversion to common or preferred stock of all outstanding debt and equity securities accounted for as derivative liabilities.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense was $3,769,000 and $1,536,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively.  The increase is primarily due to an increase in the non-cash amortization of the debt issuance costs associated with the convertible debentures and demand notes payable.
 
Comparison of the Nine Months EndedSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred $911,000 and $725,000 of research and development expenses.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred $128,768,000 and $7,827,000 of selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to an increase stock compensation.
 
Change in value of warrant and derivative liabilities
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a gain as a result of a decrease in the fair market value of outstanding warrants and beneficial conversion features of $925,000, compared to a gain of $37,195,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We recorded a gain as a result of the conversion to common or preferred stock of all outstanding debt and equity securities accounted for as derivative liabilities.
 
 
19
 
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense was $8,467,000 and $4,781,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively.  The increase is primarily due to an increase in the non-cash amortization of the debt issuance costs associated with the convertible debentures and demand notes payable.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of September 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,732,000. This cash and cash equivalents is in part the result of the proceeds from borrowings in 2017. On the same day we had total current assets of $2,732,000, and a working capital deficit of $70,000. B ased upon the cash position, it is necessary to raise additional capital by the end of the next quarter in order to continue to fund current operations. The Company is pursuing several alternatives to address this situation, including the raising of additional funding through equity or debt financings. In order to finance existing operations and pay current liabilities over the next twelve months, the Company will need to raise approximately $4-5 million of capital.
 
During the nine months ending September 30, 2017, the Company entered into convertible debentures totaling $5,991,000. These convertible debentures were all converted to Common Stock or Series J Preferred Stock in August 2017.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
We consider the following accounting policies to be critical given they involve estimates and judgments made by management and are important for our investors’ understanding of our operating results and financial condition.
  
Basis of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements contained in this report include the accounts of GT Biopharma, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Product Revenue
 
The Company manufactures, or has manufactured on a contract basis, fine chemicals and nutraceutical products, which are its primary products to be sold to customers. Revenue from the sale of its products, including shipping fees, will be recognized when title to the products is transferred to the customer which usually occurs upon shipment or delivery, depending upon the terms of the sales order and when collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue from sales to distributors of its products will be recognized, net of allowances, upon delivery of product to the distributors. According to the terms of individual distributor contracts, a distributor may return product up to a maximum amount and under certain conditions contained in its contract. Allowances are calculated based upon historical data, current economic conditions and the underlying contractual terms.
 
License Revenue
 
License arrangements may consist of non-refundable upfront license fees and various performance or sales milestones and future product royalty payments.  Some of these arrangements are multiple element arrangements.  Non-refundable, up-front fees that are not contingent on any future performance by us, and require no consequential continuing involvement on our part, are recognized as revenue when the license term commences and the licensed data, technology and/or compound is delivered.  We defer recognition of non-refundable upfront fees if we have continuing performance obligations without which the technology, right, product or service conveyed in conjunction with the non-refundable fee has no utility to the licensee that is separate and independent of our performance under the other elements of the arrangement.  In addition, if we have continuing involvement through research and development services that are required because our know-how and expertise related to the technology is proprietary to us, or can only be performed by us, then such up-front fees are deferred and recognized over the period of continuing involvement.
 
 
20
 
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
Our long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment, capitalized costs of filing patent applications and goodwill and other assets.  We evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.  Estimates of future cash flows and timing of events for evaluating long-lived assets for impairment are based upon management’s judgment.  If any of our intangible or long-lived assets are considered to be impaired, the amount of impairment to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over its fair value.
 
Applicable long-lived assets are amortized or depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives, the estimated period that the assets will generate revenue, or the statutory or contractual term in the case of patents.  Estimates of useful lives and periods of expected revenue generation are reviewed periodically for appropriateness and are based upon management’s judgment.  Goodwill and other assets are not amortized.
 
Certain Expenses and Liabilities
 
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates related to certain expenses and accrued liabilities.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
 
During the normal course of business, from time to time, we issue warrants as part of a debt or equity financing. We do not enter into any derivative contracts for speculative purposes. We recognize all derivatives as assets or liabilities measured at fair value with changes in fair value of derivatives reflected as current period income or loss unless the derivatives qualify for hedge accounting and are accounted for as such. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we issued warrants to purchase 370,061 and 11,584 shares of common stock, respectively, in connection with equity transactions. In accordance with ASC Topic 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock” (“ASC 815-40”), the value of these warrants is required to be recorded as a liability, as the holders have an option to put the warrants back to us in certain events, as defined. On August 31, 2017, all warrants were converted to the Company’s common stock on a cashless basis.
 
Inflation
 
We believe that inflation has not had a material adverse impact on our business or operating results during the periods presented.
 
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2017.
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
This company qualifies as a smaller reporting company, as defined in 17 C.F.R. §229.10(f) (1) and is not required to provide information by this Item.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
 
21
 
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of September 30, 2017.  Based on that evaluation we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2017.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
 
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
 
 
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
 
 
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
 
As of September 30, 2017, management of the company conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting.  In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.  In the course of the assessment, material weaknesses were identified in the company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 
Management determined that fundamental elements of an effective control environment were missing or inadequate as of September 30, 2017.  The most significant issues identified were: 1) lack of segregation of duties due to very small staff and significant reliance on outside consultants, and 2) risks of executive override also due to lack of established policies, and small employee staff.  Based on the material weaknesses identified above, management has concluded that internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2017.  As the company’s operations increase, the company intends to hire additional employees in its accounting department.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Other than as described above, no changes in our internal control over financial reporting were made during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ANNEX A
 
 Shareholders’ Registration Rights
 
1.1   Registration of GT Biopharma Shares . At the election of the Shareholders,
which shall not be made prior to the six (6)-month anniversary of the Closing Date, GT Biopharma shall file a registration statement under the Securities Act, necessary to register and facilitate the sale of the GT Biopharma Shares, for sale by any and all Shareholders in full compliance with the Securities Act.
 
1.2   Piggyback Registration.
 
(a)   If GT Biopharma shall determine to register any of its securities either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders exercising their respective demand registration rights, other than a registration pursuant to Section 1.1 or 1.3 of this Annex A, a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, a registration relating to the offer and sale of debt securities, or a registration relating solely to a Rule 145 transaction, GT Biopharma shall:
 
(i)   promptly give to each Shareholder written notice thereof; and
 
(ii)   use commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), except as set forth in Section 1.2(b) of this Annex A, and in any underwriting involved therein, all the GT Biopharma Shares specified in a written request or requests, made by any Shareholder and received by GT Biopharma within ten (10) days after the written notice from GT Biopharma described in clause (i) above is given by GT Biopharma. Such written request may specify all or a part of a Shareholder’s GT Biopharma Shares.
 
(b)   If the registration of which GT Biopharma gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, GT Biopharma shall so advise the Shareholders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 1.2(a)(i) of this Annex A. In such event, the right of any Shareholder to include GT Biopharma Shares in such registration pursuant to this Section 1.2 shall be conditioned upon such Shareholder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Shareholder’s GT Biopharma Shares in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Shareholders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with GT Biopharma Shares and any other stockholders of GT Biopharma distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by GT Biopharma.
 
(c)   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the representative of the underwriters advises GT Biopharma that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities sold other than by GT Biopharma, the representative may (subject to the limitations set forth below) exclude all GT Biopharma Shares from, or limit the number of GT Biopharma Shares to be included in, the registration and underwriting. GT Biopharma may limit, to the extent so advised by the underwriters, the amount of securities to be
 
-31-
 

included in the registration by GT Biopharma’s stockholders (including the Shareholders); provided , however , that the number GT Biopharma Shares to be included in such registration by GT Biopharma’s stockholders (including the Shareholders) may not be so reduced to less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of all securities included in such registration. GT Biopharma shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration, and the number of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated first to GT Biopharma for securities being sold for its own account and thereafter as set forth in Section 1.11 of this Annex A. If any person does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from GT Biopharma or the underwriter. Any securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration. If securities are so withdrawn from the registration and if the number of securities to be included in such registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors, GT Biopharma shall then offer to all persons who have retained the right to include securities in the registration the right to include additional securities in the registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number of securities so withdrawn, with such securities to be allocated among the persons requesting additional inclusion in accordance with Section 1.11 of this Annex A. To facilitate the allocation of securities in accordance with the above provisions, GT Biopharma or the underwriter(s) may round the number of securities allocated to any Shareholder to the nearest 100 shares.
 
(d)   Right to Terminate Registration . GT Biopharma shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Shareholder has elected to include securities in such registration.
 
1.3   Registration on Form S-3.
 
(a)   After GT Biopharma has qualified for the use of Form S-3, in addition to the rights contained in the foregoing provisions of this Annex A, each Shareholder shall have the right to request registrations on Form S-3 (such requests shall be in writing and shall state the number of GT Biopharma Shares to be disposed of and the intended methods of disposition of such securities by such Shareholder); provided , however , that GT Biopharma shall not be obligated to effect any such registration:
 
(i)   if such Shareholder, together with the holders of any other securities of GT Biopharma entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell GT Biopharma Shares and such other securities (if any) on Form S-3 at an aggregate price to the public of less than $250,000; or
 
(ii)   in a given twelve (12) month period, after GT Biopharma has effected one (1) such registration in any such period.
 
(b)   If a request complying with the requirements of Section 1.3(a) of this Annex A is delivered to GT Biopharma, GT Biopharma shall (i) within ten (10) days of receipt thereof, give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Shareholders; and (ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days of receipt of such request, file a registration statement covering such GT Biopharma Shares of the initiating Shareholder as are
 
-32-
 

specified in such request, together with the GT Biopharma Shares of other any other Shareholders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by GT Biopharma within ten (10) days after such written notice from GT Biopharma is given, and use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration.
 
1.4   Expenses of Registration . All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Sections 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 of this Annex A shall be borne by GT Biopharma; provided , however , that GT Biopharma shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.3 of this Annex A if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Shareholders of a majority of the GT Biopharma Shares to be registered or because a sufficient number of Shareholders shall have withdrawn so that the minimum offering conditions set forth in Section 1.3 of this Annex A are no longer satisfied (in which case all participating Shareholders shall bear such expenses pro rata among such Shareholders based on the number of GT Biopharma Shares requested to be so registered), unless the Shareholders of a majority of the GT Biopharma Shares agree to forfeit their right to a demand registration pursuant to Section 1.3 of this Annex A; provided , further , however, that if such withdrawal occurs prior to the date the registration statement shall have become effective and is based upon material adverse information relating to GT Biopharma that is different from the information known to the Shareholders requesting registration at the time of their request for registration under Section 1.3 of this Annex A, such registration shall not be treated as a counted registration for purposes of Section 1.3 of this Annex A, even though the Shareholders do not bear the Registration Expenses for such registration. All Selling Expenses relating to securities so registered shall be borne by the holders of such securities pro rata on the basis of the number of securities so registered on their behalf.
 
1.5   Registration Procedures . In the case of each registration effected by GT Biopharma pursuant to Section 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 of this Annex A, GT Biopharma will keep each Shareholder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof. At its expense, GT Biopharma shall use commercially reasonable efforts to:
 
(a)   Keep such registration effective for a period of one hundred twenty
(120) days or until the Shareholder or Shareholders have completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto, whichever first occurs; provided , however , that
(i) such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Shareholder refrains from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of an underwriter of common stock (or other securities) of GT Biopharma; and (ii) in the case of any registration of GT Biopharma Shares on Form S-3 which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance with rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for up to sixty (60) days, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such GT Biopharma Shares are sold;
 
(b)   Prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions
 
-33-
 

of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;
 
(c)   Furnish such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and any Free Writing Prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto, and other documents incident thereto, as a Shareholder from time to time may reasonably request in order to facilitate the distribution of such Shareholder’s GT Biopharma Shares;
 
(d)   Notify each seller of GT Biopharma Shares covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus (to the extent prepared by or on behalf of GT Biopharma) relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such seller, prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus (to the extent prepared by or on behalf of GT Biopharma) as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall not include 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 not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing;
 
(e)   Cause all such GT Biopharma Shares registered hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by GT Biopharma are then listed;
 
(f)   Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all GT Biopharma Shares registered pursuant to such registration statement and a CUSIP number for all such GT Biopharma Shares, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;
 
(g)   In connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to this Annex A, GT Biopharma will enter into an underwriting agreement reasonably necessary to effect the offer and sale of its common stock, provided such underwriting agreement contains customary underwriting provisions and provided further that if the underwriter so requests the underwriting agreement will contain customary contribution provisions;
 
(h)   Furnish, at the request of any Shareholder requesting registration of GT Biopharma Shares pursuant to this Annex A, on the date that such GT Biopharma Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Annex A, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing GT Biopharma for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Shareholders requesting registration of GT Biopharma Shares and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of GT Biopharma, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten
 
-34-
 

public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Shareholders requesting registration of GT Biopharma Shares; and
 
(i)   Register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Shareholders, provided that GT Biopharma shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
 
1.6   Indemnification . GT Biopharma will indemnify each Shareholder and each of his or her legal counsel, and accountants against all expenses, claims, losses, damages, and liabilities (or actions, proceedings, or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular, or other document (including any related registration statement, notification, or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification, or compliance, (ii) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation (or alleged violation) by GT Biopharma of the Securities Act, any state or other securities laws or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to GT Biopharma and relating to action or inaction required of GT Biopharma in connection with any such registration, qualification, or compliance, and will reimburse each such Shareholder and each of his or her legal counsel, and accountants for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action; provided that GT Biopharma will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to GT Biopharma by such Shareholder or underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of GT Biopharma (which consent has not been unreasonably withheld).
 
1.7   Information by Shareholders . Each Shareholder of GT Biopharma Shares shall furnish to GT Biopharma such information regarding such Shareholder and the distribution proposed by such Shareholder as GT Biopharma may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification, or compliance referred to in this Annex A.
 
1.8   Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights . After the date of this Agreement, GT Biopharma shall not, without the prior written consent of Shareholders of a majority of the GT Biopharma Shares, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of GT Biopharma giving such holder or prospective holder any registration rights the terms of which are more favorable than or on parity with the registration rights granted to the Shareholders hereunder, unless, under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities would not reduce the number of GT Biopharma Shares included by the Shareholders.
 
-35-
 

1.9   Rule 144 Reporting . With a view to making available the benefits of certain
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission that may permit the sale of the GT Biopharma Shares to the public without registration, GT Biopharma agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to:
 
(a)   Make and keep public information regarding GT Biopharma available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times from and after ninety (90) days following the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by GT Biopharma for an offering of its securities to the general public;
 
(b)   File with the Securities and Exchange Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of GT Biopharma under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements; and
 
(c)   So long as a Shareholder owns any GT Biopharma Shares, furnish to the Shareholder forthwith upon written request a written statement by GT Biopharma as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time from and after ninety
(90) days following the effective date of the first registration statement filed by GT Biopharma for an offering of its securities to the general public), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of GT Biopharma, and such other reports and documents so filed as a Shareholder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission allowing a Shareholder to sell any such securities without registration.
 
1.10   Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights . The rights to cause GT Biopharma to register securities granted to a Shareholder by GT Biopharma under this Annex A may be transferred or assigned by a Shareholder only to (a) a transferee or assignee of GT Biopharma Shares previously held by such Shareholder; or (b) a Family Member of such Shareholder or a trust for the benefit of such Shareholder or Family Member; provided, however, that in each such case GT Biopharma is given written notice at the time of or within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned.
 
1.11   Allocation of Registration Opportunities . Except as otherwise provided in this Annex A, in any circumstance in which all of the GT Biopharma Shares requested to be included in a registration on behalf of the Shareholders cannot be so included as a result of limitations in the aggregate number of GT Biopharma Shares that may be so included, the number of GT Biopharma Shares shall be excluded by excluding GT Biopharma Shares, pro rata on the basis of the number of GT Biopharma Shares held by such Shareholders, until the aggregate number of GT Biopharma Shares may be included in such registration. If any Shareholder does not request inclusion of the maximum number of GT Biopharma Shares allocated to such person pursuant to the above described formula, the remaining portion of such person’s allocation shall be reallocated among those requesting Shareholders whose allocations did not satisfy their requests, pro rata on the same basis as described above, and this procedure shall be repeated until all of the
 
-36-
 

GT Biopharma Shares that may be included in such registration on behalf of the Shareholders have been so allocated.
 
1.12     “Market Stand-Off” Agreement .
 
(a)   Each Shareholder agrees that such Shareholder shall not sell or otherwise transfer, dispose of, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging of similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale of, any common stock (or other securities) of GT Biopharma held by such Shareholder (other than those included in the registration) during the one hundred eighty (180) day period following the effective date of the initial registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act (or such longer period as the underwriters or GT Biopharma shall request in order to facilitate compliance with FINRA Rule 2711 or NYSE Member Rule 472 or any successor or similar rule or regulation).

GT BIOPHARMA, INC. (the "Corporation"), a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, DOES HEREBY CERTIFY that, pursuant to authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended, and pursuant to the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors, by resolutions adopted to be effective on September 1, 2017, duly determined that 2,000,000 of the authorized shares of Preferred Stock, $.001 par value per share, of the Corporation shall be designated "Series J Preferred Stock," and duly adopted a resolution providing for the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, of the Series J Preferred Stock, which resolution is as follows:

2. Rank . The Series J Preferred Stock will rank on parity to any class or series of our capital stock hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms on parity with the Series J Preferred Stock.
 
3. Dividends . Shares of Series J Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive any dividends, unless and until specifically declared by our board of directors. The holders of the Series J Preferred Stock will participate, on an as-if-converted-to-common stock basis, in any dividends to the holders of common stock.
 
4. Voting Rights . Shares of Series J Preferred Stock will have the same voting rights as shares of common stock with each share of Series J Preferred Stock entitled to one vote at a meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation.
 
5. Liquidation Preference . In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of the Series J Preferred Stock will be on parity with the holders of our common stock and will participate, on an as-if-converted-to-common stock basis, in any distributions to the holders of common stock.
 
6. Conversion Rights . The holders of shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall have the following conversion rights:
 
A. Conversion Rate . Each share of the Series J Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of our common stock at any time at the option of the holder (the "Conversion Rate").
 
B. Upon Extraordinary Common Stock Event . Upon the happening of an Extraordinary Common Stock Event, shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall be impacted in the same way our shares of common stock were impacted by the Extraordinary Common Stock Event. An "Extraordinary Common Stock Event" shall mean: (i) the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) the subdivision of outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) the combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, in each case other than pursuant to a transaction provided for in Section 6C or 6D.
 
C. Capital Reorganization or Reclassification . If the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series J Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for in Section 6B, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets provided for in Section 6D), then and in each such event, the holders of shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such shares into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change by the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series J Preferred Stock were convertible immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
 
 
-2-
 
 
 
D. Reorganization, Merger or Consolidation . If at any time or from time to time there shall be a reorganization, reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock (other than a subdivision, combination, reorganization, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Section 6) (a "Reorganization"), then as a part of such Reorganization, provision shall be made so that each holder of Series J Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of such shares of Series J Preferred Stock, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's shares of Series J Preferred Stock were convertible immediately prior to such Reorganization would have been entitled upon consummation of such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 6 with respect to the rights of the holders of Series J Preferred Stock after the Reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Section 6 (including adjustment of the Conversion Value then in effect, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series J Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event in as nearly equivalent a manner as may be practicable.
 
E. Exercise of Conversion Privilege . To exercise the conversion right set forth in Section 6A, a holder of shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificates representing the shares being converted to the Corporation at its principal office, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at that office that such holder elects to convert such shares. Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the certificates for shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be issued. The certificates for shares of Series J Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion shall be accompanied by proper assignment thereof to the Corporation or in blank. The date when such written notice is received by the Corporation, together with the certificates representing the shares of Series J Preferred Stock being converted, shall be deemed the "Conversion Date." As promptly as practicable after the Conversion Date, the Corporation shall issue and deliver certificates to each holder of shares of Series J Preferred Stock so converted, or on its written order, such certificates as it may request, for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such shares of Series J Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6, and cash as provided in Section 6K, in respect of any fraction of a share of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date, and at such time the rights of the holder as holder of the converted shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall cease and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares of Common Stock represented thereby.
 
G. Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares . No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon any conversion of shares of Series J Preferred Stock. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of shares of Series J Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of shares of Series J Preferred Stock which were converted a cash adjustment in respect of such fractional shares in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Market Price per share of the Common Stock at the close of business on the Conversion Date. The determination as to whether or not any fractional shares are issuable shall be based upon the total number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock so converted at any one time by any holder thereof, and not upon each share of Series J Preferred Stock so converted.
 
 
-3-
 
 
 
H. Partial Conversion . In the event some but not all of the shares of Series J Preferred Stock represented by a certificate surrendered by a holder are converted, the Corporation shall execute and deliver to or on the order of the holder, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate representing the number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock which were not converted.
 
I. Reservation of Common Stock . The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of shares of Series J Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series J Preferred Stock, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Series J Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.
 
J. No Reissuance of Series J Preferred Stock . Shares of Series J Preferred Stock which are converted into shares of Common Stock as provided herein shall not be reissued.
 
K. Issue Tax . The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of any shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to the holders thereof for any issuance tax in respect thereof; provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the holder of the shares of Series J Preferred Stock which are being converted.
 
L. Closing of Books . The Corporation will at no time close its transfer books against the transfer of any shares of Series J Preferred Stock or of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of any shares of Series J Preferred Stock in any manner which interferes with the timely conversion of such shares of Series J Preferred Stock, except as may otherwise be required to comply with applicable securities laws.
 
 
-4-
 
 
 
M. Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series J Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder's Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder's Affiliates (such Persons, "Attribution Parties")) 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 such Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series J Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Stated Value of Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Preferred Stock or the Warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6M, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6M applies, the determination of whether the Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of how many shares of Preferred Stock are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder's determination of whether the shares of Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and how many shares of the Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 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 6M, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Corporation's most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request (which may be via email) of a Holder, the Corporation shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such 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 Corporation, including the Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The "Beneficial Ownership Limitation" shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series J Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder. A Holder, upon notice to the Corporation, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 6M applicable to its Preferred Stock 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 conversion of this Series J Preferred Stock held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 6M shall continue to apply. Any such increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6M to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of Preferred Stock.
 
 
-5-
 
 
 
7. Miscellaneous .
 
(a) The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversions of shares of Series J Preferred Stock will upon issuance be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free of all liens and charges and not subject to any preemptive rights.
 
(b) No share or shares of Series J Preferred Stock acquired by the Corporation by reason of redemption, purchase, conversion or otherwise, shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be cancelled, retired and eliminated from the shares which the Corporation shall be authorized to issue.
 
The number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock is 2,000,000, none of which have been issued.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Certificate of Designation has been signed by an authorized officer of the Corporation as of the date first written above.

Upon the termination of Executive's employment for any reason, neither Executive nor the Companies shall have any further obligation or liability under this Agreement to the other, except as set forth below.
 
3.   Compensation : Executive shall be compensated by the Parent for her services to the Companies as follows:

In the event that the Companies terminate Executive's employment for Cause, the Companies shall provide written notice to Executive of that fact prior to, or concurrently with, the termination of employment.

Pursuant to these agreements, common stock and sometimes Series J Preferred Stock will be issued upon the conversion of debentures, conversion of old preferred stock and the exercise of warrants (collectively the “Newly Issued Capital Stock”). The Note Holder’s “New Stock” is the common stock received pursuant to this Agreement, any Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement and any Warrant Exercise Agreement of even date herewith, together with the number of common shares into which the Note Holder’s Series J Preferred Stock received by virtue of the same agreements, is convertible. The “Note Holder’s Percentage” is the percentage of the Note Holder’s New Stock compared to the total of the Newly Issued Capital Stock. At all times during the one-year period immediately following the Closing in which the Note Holder participates (“Restricted Period”), beginning on the Closing Date, such Note Holder hereby agrees with the Company that such Note Holder shall not sell on any one day, any shares of the Company’s capital stock in excess of the Note Holder’s Percentage of the Company’s trading volume on that day. The foregoing restriction was requested by the Company of each Note Holder and was not requested by any Note Holder. Each Note Holder shall make its own determination of when to sell and when not to sell independently of any other Note Holder and not as a part of any group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this  Section 7(a)  will terminate with respect to any Note Conversion Shares when the Company has any registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes and agrees to notify each Note Holder in writing (which may be via e-mail to with a ‘read receipt requested’) of the effective date on the same day that the Company receives notice of such effective date.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, except as set forth in this Agreement, the Company is under no obligation to register any of the Note Conversion Shares. The Note Holder’s Percentage is listed on Schedule A . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the Restricted Period, the Holder may, directly or indirectly, sell or transfer all, or any part, of the Shares or the Warrant Shares (the “Restricted Securities”) to any Person (an “Assignee”) in a transaction which does not need to be reported on the Nasdaq consolidated tape, without complying with (or otherwise limited by) the restrictions set forth in this Section 7(a); provided, that as a condition to any such sale or transfer an authorized signatory of the Company and such Assignee duly execute and deliver a leak-out agreement in the form of this Section 7(a) (an “Assignee Agreement”, and each such transfer a “Permitted Transfer”) and, subsequent to a Permitted Transfer, sales of the Note Holder and all Assignees (other than any such sales that constitute Permitted Transfers) shall be aggregated for all purposes of this Section 7(a) and all Assignee Agreements.
 
(b)   The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees from and after the date hereof that none of the terms offered to any Note Holder with respect to the terms hereunder and the Note Conversion Shares is or will be more favorable to any other Note Holder than those offered under this Agreement (including by way of any written or verbal side or separate agreements).

(c)    This Agreement shall be effective with respect to Holders who accept this offer only if Holders possessing not less than 100% of the outstanding Note principal and interest accept this offer and execute and deliver a copy of this Agreement to the Company on or before September 1, 2017. If this Agreement becomes effective and the transaction documents are executed on or before 8:30 a.m. on August September 5, 2017, then on or before 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on September 5, 2017, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
 
1.1  Company Registration .  If the Company shall determine to register any of its securities either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders, other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other Rule 145 transaction, or a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales, the Company will:
 
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all Note Holders; and
 
(b) use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), except as set forth in Section 1.2 of this  Exhibit B  below, and in any underwriting involved therein, all of such Registrable Securities as are specified in a written request or requests made by any Note Holder or Note Holders received by the Company within 10 days after such written notice from the Company is mailed or delivered.  Such written request may specify all or a part of a Note Holder’s Registrable Securities.
 
1.2  Underwriting .  If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Note Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 1.1(a) of this  Exhibit B .  In such event, the right of any Note Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 1.2 shall be conditioned upon such Note Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Note Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.  All Note Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company, the Other Selling Stockholders and other holders of securities of the Company with registration rights to participate therein distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company.
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriters advise the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriters may (subject to the limitations set forth below) limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in, the registration and underwriting.  The Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration, and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated, as follows: (i) first, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account, and (ii) second, to the Note Holders and Other Selling Stockholders requesting to include Registrable Securities and Other Shares in such registration statement based on the  pro rata  percentage of Registrable Securities and Other Shares held by such Note Holders and Other Selling Stockholders, assuming conversion and (iii) third, to the Other Selling Stockholders requesting to include Other Shares in such registration statement based on the pro rata percentage of Other Shares held by such Other Selling Stockholders, assuming conversion.
 
If a person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall also be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company or the underwriter.  The Registrable Securities or other securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from such registration.  Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.
 
               1.3  Right to Terminate Registration .   The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this  Exhibit B  prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Note Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.
 
1.4  Definitions .  The following definitions shall apply for the purposes of this  Exhibit B :
 
(a) “ Other Selling   Stockholders ” shall mean persons other than Note Holders who, by virtue of agreements with the Company, are entitled to include their Other Shares in certain registrations hereunder.
 
 
-22-
 
 
(b) “ Other Shares ” shall mean shares of Common Stock, other than Registrable Securities (as defined below), with respect to which registration rights have been granted.
 
(c) “ Registrable Securities ” shall mean (i) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the conversion of the Notes and (ii) any Common Stock issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to or in exchange for or in replacement of the shares referenced in (i) above; provided, however, that Registrable Securities shall not include any shares of Common Stock described in clause (i) or (ii) above which have previously been registered or which have been sold to the public either pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144, or which have been sold in a private transaction in which the transferor’s rights under this Agreement are not validly assigned in accordance with this Agreement.

7.   Covenants
 
(a)   On or about the date of this Agreement, the Company is entering into Note Conversion Agreements, Preferred Stock Exchange Agreements, and Warrant Exercise Agreements with the debenture holders, the preferred stock holders and the warrant holders of the Company. Pursuant to these agreements, common stock and sometimes Series J Preferred Stock will be issued upon the conversion of debentures, conversion of old preferred stock and the exercise of warrants (collectively the “Newly Issued Capital Stock”). The Note Holder’s “New Stock” is the common stock received pursuant to this Agreement, any Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement and any Warrant Exercise Agreement of even date herewith, together with the number of common shares into which the Note Holder’s Series J Preferred Stock received by virtue of the same agreements, is convertible. The “Note Holder’s Percentage” is the percentage of the Note Holder’s New Stock compared to the total of the Newly Issued Capital Stock. At all times during the one-year period immediately following the Closing in which the Note Holder participates (“Restricted Period”), beginning on the Closing Date, such Note Holder hereby agrees with the Company that such Note Holder shall not sell on any one day, any shares of the Company’s capital stock in excess of the Note Holder’s Percentage of the Company’s trading volume on that day. The foregoing restriction was requested by the Company of each Note Holder and was not requested by any Note Holder. Each Note Holder shall make its own determination of when to sell and when not to sell independently of any other Note Holder and not as a part of any group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this  Section 7(a)  will terminate with respect to any Note Conversion Shares when the Company has any registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes and agrees to notify each Note Holder in writing (which may be via e-mail to with a ‘read receipt requested’) of the effective date on the same day that the Company receives notice of such effective date.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, except as set forth in this Agreement, the Company is under no obligation to register any of the Note Conversion Shares. The Note Holder’s Percentage is listed on Schedule A . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the Restricted Period, the Holder may, directly or indirectly, sell or transfer all, or any part, of the Shares or the Warrant Shares (the “Restricted Securities”) to any Person (an “Assignee”) in a transaction which does not need to be reported on the Nasdaq consolidated tape, without complying with (or otherwise limited by) the restrictions set forth in this Section 7(a); provided, that as a condition to any such sale or transfer an authorized signatory of the Company and such Assignee duly execute and deliver a leak-out agreement in the form of this Section 7(a) (an “Assignee Agreement”, and each such transfer a “Permitted Transfer”) and, subsequent to a Permitted Transfer, sales of the Note Holder and all Assignees (other than any such sales that constitute Permitted Transfers) shall be aggregated for all purposes of this Section 7(a) and all Assignee Agreements.
 
(b)             The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees from and after the date hereof that none of the terms offered to any Warrant Holder with respect to the terms hereunder and the Warrant Shares is or will be more favorable to any other Warrant Holder than those offered under this Agreement (including by way of any written or verbal side or separate agreements). If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company offers different terms to another Warrant Holder, then (i) the Company shall provide notice thereof to all Warrant Holders promptly 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 and retroactively amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that all Warrant Holders shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) granted to such other Warrant Holder, provided that upon written notice to the Company at any time a Warrant 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 Warrant 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 Warrant Holder.
 
(c)             This Agreement shall be effective with respect to Holders who accept this offer only if Holders possessing not less than 100% of the outstanding Warrants accept this offer and execute and deliver a copy of this Agreement to the Company on or before September 1, 2017. If this Agreement becomes effective and the transaction documents are executed on or before 8:30 a.m. on September 5, 2017, then on or before 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on September 5, 2017, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission.

The Company agrees that following such time as such restriction notation is no longer required under this Section 8(a), it will, no later than three business days following the request by a Warrant Holder to the Company that the restriction on the Warrant Holder’s shares be removed (such third business day, the “Restriction Notation Removal Date”), cause the Transfer Agent to transfer the Shares upon the request of the Warrant Holder by crediting the account of the Warrant Holder's prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Warrant Holder. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 8. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to the volume limitations of Section 7(a), provided a Note Holder is not an affiliate of the Company and the Company is current in its reporting obligations, the Note Conversion Shares and Series J Conversion Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without restriction and the Company will provide the required legal opinions in connection with such sales.

EXHIBIT B
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
1.1  Company Registration .  If the Company shall determine to register any of its securities either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders, other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other Rule 145 transaction, or a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales, the Company will:
 
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all Warrant Holders; and
 
(b) use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), except as set forth in Section 1.2(b) of this  Exhibit B  below, and in any underwriting involved therein, all of such Registrable Securities as are specified in a written request or requests made by any Warrant Holder or Warrant Holders received by the Company within 10 days after such written notice from the Company is mailed or delivered.  Such written request may specify all or a part of a Warrant Holder’s Registrable Securities.
 
1.2  Underwriting .  If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Warrant Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 1.2(a)(i) of this  Exhibit B .  In such event, the right of any Warrant Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 1.2 shall be conditioned upon such Warrant Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Warrant Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.  All Warrant Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company, the Other Selling Stockholders and other holders of securities of the Company with registration rights to participate therein distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company.
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriters advise the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriters may (subject to the limitations set forth below) limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in, the registration and underwriting.  The Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration, and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated, as follows: (i) first, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account, and (ii) second, to the Warrant Holders and Other Selling Stockholders requesting to include Registrable Securities and Other Shares in such registration statement based on the  pro rata  percentage of Registrable Securities and Other Shares held by such Warrant Holders and Other Selling Stockholders, assuming exercise and (iii) third, to the Other Selling Stockholders requesting to include Other Shares in such registration statement based on the pro rata percentage of Other Shares held by such Other Selling Stockholders, assuming exercise.
 
If a person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall also be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company or the underwriter.  The Registrable Securities or other securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from such registration.  Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration. 
 
1.3  Right to Terminate Registration .   The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this  Exhibit B  prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Warrant Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.
 
1.4  Definitions .  The following definitions shall apply for the purposes of this  Exhibit B :
 
(a) “ Other Selling   Stockholders ” shall mean persons other than Warrant Holders who, by virtue of agreements with the Company, are entitled to include their Other Shares in certain registrations hereunder.
 
 
-20-
 
 
(b) “ Other Shares ” shall mean shares of Common Stock, other than Registrable Securities (as defined below), with respect to which registration rights have been granted.
 
(c) “ Registrable Securities ” shall mean (i) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants and (ii) any Common Stock issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to or in exchange for or in replacement of the shares referenced in (i) above;  provided however , that Registrable Securities shall not include any shares of Common Stock described in clause (i) or (ii) above which have previously been registered or which have been sold to the public either pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144, or which have been sold in a private transaction in which the transferor’s rights under this Agreement are not validly assigned in accordance with this Agreement.

This Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement (this “ Agreement ”) is entered into as of August 29, 2017, by and among GT Biopharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and the parties listed on  Schedule A  hereto.
 
WHEREAS, Theorem Group LLC and Canyons Trust (together, the “ Series H Stockholders ”) currently hold shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “ Series H Preferred Stock ”) pursuant to the Series H Preferred Stock Agreement, dated February 10, 2010 (the “ Series H Preferred SPA ”);
 
WHEREAS, Adam Kasower (the “ Series I Stockholder ”) currently hold shares of Series I Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “ Series I Preferred Stock ”) pursuant to the Series I Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated November 8, 2010 (the “ Series I Preferred SPA ”);
 
WHEREAS, Series H Preferred Stock, and Series I Preferred Stock are herein collectively referred to as the “ Preferred Stock ”;
 
WHEREAS, Series H Stockholders and Series I Stockholders are herein collectively referred to as the “ Investors ” or “ Preferred Stockholders ”;
 
WHEREAS, the Series H Preferred SPA and Series I Preferred SPA are herein collectively referred to as the “ Prior Subscription Agreements ” or “ Prior Transaction Documents ”;
 
WHEREAS, each Preferred Stockholder hereby agrees to exchange all shares of Preferred Stock held by such Preferred Stockholder, and the Company agrees to issue to each Preferred Stockholder in exchange for such shares, and for no additional consideration, the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such Preferred Stockholder’s name on  Schedule B  hereto (the “ Exchange Shares ”);
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the rights and benefits that they will each receive in connection with this Agreement, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Thereafter, the Preferred Stock converted shall solely represent the right to receive the Exchange Shares hereunder, and Preferred Stock shall remain issued and outstanding. In the event a Stock Conversion will result in a Preferred Stockholder owning more than 9.99% of the total issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, the Preferred Stockholder will be issued common stock in connection with the Stock Conversion until the Preferred Stockholder owns 9.99% of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company. The balance of the Stock Conversion will be completed by the Company issuing the Preferred Stockholder shares of Series J Preferred Stock. A copy of the Certificate of Designation with respect to such Series J Preferred Stock is annexed hereto as Exhibit C.
 
2.   Closing .
 
(a)  Closing .  With respect to all shares of Preferred Stock, the Preferred Stockholders shall deliver their certificates representing the Preferred Stock (or if such certificates are lost, mutilated or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and indemnity agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an “Affidavit”)) to the Company for cancellation.
 
(b) Delivery of Shares . Within five (5) business days from the receipt of the certificates (or Affidavit, as applicable) from any Preferred Stockholder, the Company shall deliver the applicable Exchange Shares to such Preferred Stockholder pursuant to a legal opinion acceptable to the transfer agent and the Preferred Stockholders to be issued by Company counsel and paid for by the Company, electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

7.   Covenants .  
 
(a)   On or about the date of this Agreement, the Company is entering into Note Conversion Agreements, Preferred Stock Exchange Agreements, and Warrant Exercise Agreements with the debenture holders, the preferred stock holders and the warrant holders of the Company. Pursuant to these agreements, common stock and sometimes Series J Preferred Stock will be issued upon the conversion of debentures, conversion of old preferred stock and the exercise of warrants (collectively the “Newly Issued Capital Stock”). The Note Holder’s “New Stock” is the common stock received pursuant to this Agreement, any Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement and any Warrant Exercise Agreement of even date herewith, together with the number of common shares into which the Note Holder’s Series J Preferred Stock received by virtue of the same agreements, is convertible. The “Note Holder’s Percentage” is the percentage of the Note Holder’s New Stock compared to the total of the Newly Issued Capital Stock. At all times during the one-year period immediately following the Closing in which the Note Holder participates (“Restricted Period”), beginning on the Closing Date, such Note Holder hereby agrees with the Company that such Note Holder shall not sell on any one day, any shares of the Company’s capital stock in excess of the Note Holder’s Percentage of the Company’s trading volume on that day. The foregoing restriction was requested by the Company of each Note Holder and was not requested by any Note Holder. Each Note Holder shall make its own determination of when to sell and when not to sell independently of any other Note Holder and not as a part of any group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this  Section 7(a)  will terminate with respect to any Note Conversion Shares when the Company has any registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company undertakes and agrees to notify each Note Holder in writing (which may be via e-mail to with a ‘read receipt requested’) of the effective date on the same day that the Company receives notice of such effective date.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, except as set forth in this Agreement, the Company is under no obligation to register any of the Note Conversion Shares. The Note Holder’s Percentage is listed on Schedule A . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the Restricted Period, the Holder may, directly or indirectly, sell or transfer all, or any part, of the Shares or the Warrant Shares (the “Restricted Securities”) to any Person (an “Assignee”) in a transaction which does not need to be reported on the Nasdaq consolidated tape, without complying with (or otherwise limited by) the restrictions set forth in this Section 7(a); provided, that as a condition to any such sale or transfer an authorized signatory of the Company and such Assignee duly execute and deliver a leak-out agreement in the form of this Section 7(a) (an “Assignee Agreement”, and each such transfer a “Permitted Transfer”) and, subsequent to a Permitted Transfer, sales of the Note Holder and all Assignees (other than any such sales that constitute Permitted Transfers) shall be aggregated for all purposes of this Section 7(a) and all Assignee Agreements.
 
(b)                   The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees from and after the date hereof that none of the terms offered to any Preferred Stockholder with respect to the terms hereunder and the Exchange Shares is or will be more favorable to any other Preferred Stockholder than those offered under this Agreement (including by way of any written or verbal side or separate agreements). If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company offers different terms to another Preferred Stockholder, then (i) the Company shall provide notice thereof to all Preferred Stockholders promptly following the occurrence thereof and (ii) the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be, without any further action by the Preferred Stockholder or the Company, automatically and retroactively amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that all Preferred Stockholders shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) granted to such other Preferred Stockholder, provided that upon written notice to the Company at any time a Preferred Stockholder 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 Preferred Stockholder as it was in effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Preferred Stockholder.
 
(c)                   This Agreement shall be effective with respect to Preferred Stockholders who accept this offer only if Preferred Stockholders possessing not less than 100% of the outstanding Note principal and interest accept this offer and execute and deliver a copy of this Agreement to the Company on or before September 1, 2017. If this Agreement becomes effective and the transaction documents are executed on or before 8:30 a.m. on September 5, 2017, then on or before 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on September 5, 2017, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission. From and after such filing, the Company represents to the Preferred Stockholders that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to it by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents.
 
 
-7-
 
 
(d)                   Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide any Preferred Stockholder or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Preferred Stockholder shall have entered into a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Preferred Stockholder shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
 
8.   Miscellaneous .
 
(a)  Restriction Notations . The provisions of this Subsection 8(a) and Subsection 8(d) below, apply to all common shares received by any Note Holder pursuant to a Note Conversion Agreement, a Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement, or a Warrant Exercise Agreement and shares of common stock into which Series J Preferred Stock is converted, which shares of Series J Preferred Stock are received pursuant to the same agreements. Collectively these shares are referred to in this Subsection 8(a) and Subsection 8(d) as the “Shares”.
 
 
i. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company shall not make any notations on its records or give any instructions to the registrar and transfer agent of the Company (along with any successor transfer agent of the Company, the “ Transfer Agent ”) implementing any restrictions on transfer.
 
ii. Company and Transfer Agent records evidencing the Shares shall not contain any restriction notation (including any restriction notation under this Section 8(a)): (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 or (iv) if such restriction notation is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly if required by the Transfer Agent or requested by an Investor to effect the removal of the restriction notation hereunder. If all or any Series J Preferred Stock is converted at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Shares, Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series J Preferred Stock (“Series J Conversion Shares”) or if the Shares may be sold under Rule 144 or if such restriction notation is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Shares and Series J Conversion Shares shall be issued free of all restriction notations. The Company agrees that following such time as such restriction notation is no longer required under this Section 8(a), it will, no later than three business days following the request by an Investor to the Company that the restriction on the Investor’s shares be removed (such third business day, the “Restriction Notation Removal Date”), cause the Transfer Agent to transfer the Shares upon the request of the Investor by crediting the account of the Investor's prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Investor. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 8. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to the volume limitations of Section 7(a), provided a Note Holder is not an affiliate of the Company and the Company is current in its reporting obligations, the Note Conversion Shares and Series J Conversion Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without restriction and the Company will provide the required legal opinions in connection with such sales.

iii. In addition to the Investor's other available remedies, the Company shall pay to an Investor, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock of the Company on the date a request for restriction notation removal is submitted to the Transfer Agent) to which a removal of a restriction notation was requested and subject to Section 8(a)(ii), $10 per business day (increasing to $20 per business day five (5) business days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each business day after the Restriction Notation Removal Date until such stock is delivered without a restriction notation. Nothing herein shall limit such Investor's right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to transfer Shares or Series J Conversion Shares as required by this Agreement, and such Investor shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. For the purposes of this section, "VWAP" means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the OTC Bulletin Board is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the OTC Bulletin Board, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the "Pink Sheets" published by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Investors of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

(or any successors to any of the foregoing).
 
In addition to such Investor’s other available remedies, in the event that the Shares are delivered more than 5 Trading Days following the date hereof (or if issued pursuant to the Series J Preferred, following conversion) or a legal opinion required above is not delivered to the Transfer Agent prior to the expiration of its effectiveness (“Required Delivery Date”), Company shall pay to an Investor, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are required to be delivered), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Required Delivery Date until such Shares or Series J Conversion Shares are delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to an Investor by the Required Delivery Date Shares or Series J Conversion Shares without legends that are free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Required Delivery Date such Investor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Investor 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 that such Investor anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Investor’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of that the Company was required to deliver to such Investor by the Required Delivery Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Investor to the Company of the applicable Shares or Series J Conversion Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (iii).
 
(b)         Transfers . Subject to Section 7 above, the Company hereby confirms that it will not require a legal opinion or “no action” letter from any Investor who desires to transfer the Exhange Shares or Series J Conversion Shares in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”).

EXHIBIT B
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
1.1            
Company Registration . If the Company shall determine to register any of its securities either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders, other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other Rule 145 transaction, or a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales, the Company will:
 
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all Investors; and
 
(b) use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), except as set forth in Section 1.2 of this Exhibit B below, and in any underwriting involved therein, all of such Registrable Securities as are specified in a written request or requests made by any Investor or Investors received by the Company within 10 days after such written notice from the Company is mailed or delivered. Such written request may specify all or a part of a Investor’s Registrable Securities.
 
1.2            
Underwriting . If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Investors as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 1.1(a) of this Exhibit B. In such event, the right of any Investor to registration pursuant to this Section 1.2 shall be conditioned upon such Investor’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Investor’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Investors proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company, the Other selling stockholders and other holders of securities of the Company with registration rights to participate therein distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company.
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriters advise the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriters may (subject to the limitations set forth below) limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in, the registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration, and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated, as follows: (i) first, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account, and (ii) second, to the Investors and other selling stockholders requesting to include Registrable Securities and Other Shares in such registration statement based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities and Other Shares held by such Investors and other selling stockholders, assuming conversion and (iii) third, to the other selling stockholders requesting to include other shares in such registration statement based on the pro rata percentage of other shares held by such other selling stockholders, assuming conversion.
 
If a person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall also be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company or the underwriter. The Registrable Securities or other securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from such registration. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration.
 
 
-19-
 
 
 
1.3            
Right to Terminate Registration . The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Exhibit B prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Investor has elected to include securities in such registration.
 
1.4            
Definitions . The following definitions shall apply for the purposes of this Exhibit B:
 
(a) “Other Selling Stockholders” shall mean persons other than Investors who, by virtue of agreements with the Company, are entitled to include their Other Shares in certain registrations hereunder.
 
(b) “Other Shares” shall mean shares of Common Stock, other than Registrable Securities (as defined below), with respect to which registration rights have been granted.
 
(c) “Registrable Securities” shall mean (i) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the conversion of the Notes and (ii) any Common Stock issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to or in exchange for or in replacement of the shares referenced in (i) above; provided, however, that Registrable Securities shall not include any shares of Common Stock described in clause (i) or (ii) above which have previously been registered or which have been sold to the public either pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144, or which have been sold in a private transaction in which the transferor’s rights under this Agreement are not validly assigned in accordance with this Agreement.
