Item 1.01 Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement.
 
Private Placement and Exchange; Purchase Agreement
 
On July 16, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), AzurRx BioPharma, Inc. (the “Company”) consummated a private placement offering (the “Private Placement”) whereby the Company entered into a Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrant Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited and institutional investors (the “Investors”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,912.583124 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), at a price of $7,700.00 per share, initially convertible into an aggregate of 29,125,833 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at $0.77 per share, together with warrants (the “Series B Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 14,562,957 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share. The amount of the Series B Warrants is equal to 50% of the shares of Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock is initially convertible.
 
In connection with the Private Placement, an aggregate of 1,975.578900 shares of Series B Preferred Stock initially convertible into 19,755,795 shares of Common Stock and related 7,379,790 Series B Warrants were issued for cash consideration, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $15.2 million in the Private Placement.
 
In addition, the balance of an aggregate of 937.004221 shares of Series B Preferred Stock initially convertible into 9,370,039 shares of Common Stock and related Series B Warrants to purchase 4,685,040 shares of Common Stock was issued to certain Investors (the “Exchange Investors”) in exchange for consideration consisting of approximately $6.9 million aggregate outstanding principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the Closing Date of approximately $0.3 million, of certain Senior Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Promissory Notes”) issued between December 20, 2019 and January 9, 2020 (the “Exchange”), pursuant to an Exchange Addendum (the “Exchange Addendum”) executed by the Company and the Exchange Investors. As additional consideration to the Exchange Investors, the Company also issued certain additional warrants (the “Exchange Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,772,972 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share. The amount of the Exchange Warrants is equal to 25% of the shares of Common Stock into which such Promissory Notes were originally convertible upon the initial issuance thereof. The terms of the Exchange Warrants are otherwise the same as the terms of the Series B Warrants. The Company anticipates prepaying the outstanding balance of $25,000 aggregate principal amount of Promissory Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through such prepayment date, held by non-participating holders in the Exchange, following which no Promissory Notes will remain outstanding. The Company will use the remaining net proceeds of the Private Placement, less placement agent fees and expenses, for corporate and general working capital purposes, including its clinical trials.
 
Each of (i) James Sapirstein, President, Chief Executive Officer and Non-Independent Director, (ii) Edward J. Borkowski, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), and (iii) Edmund Burke Ross, Jr., a stockholder that beneficially owns greater than 5% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding are participating in the Private Placement on the same terms and conditions as the other Investors. Mr. Saperstein purchased $100,000 worth of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and related Series B Warrants for cash, and Mr. Borkowski purchased $250,000 worth of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and related Series B Warrants for cash and exchanged $105,129 of Promissory Notes (including outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest thereon) for Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and related Series B Warrants and Exchange Warrants in the Exchange. Mr. Ross exchanged $785,877 of Promissory Notes (including outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest thereon) for Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and related Series B Warrants and Exchange Warrants in the Exchange. Mr. Sapirstein’s and Mr. Borkowski’s participation in the Private Placement and the Exchange, as applicable, is conditioned on the Stockholder Approval (as defined below) in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c).

Placement Agent Compensation
 
Alexander Capital L.P. (“Alexander”) acted as placement agent for the Private Placement pursuant to an engagement letter dated May 1, 2020 (the “Engagement Letter”). The Company has agreed to pay Alexander 9.0% of the gross cash proceeds received by the Company from Investors introduced by Alexander and 4.0% of the gross cash proceeds received by the Company from all other Investors, or approximately $1.3 million. The Company has also agreed to pay Alexander a non-accountable cash fee equal to 1.0% of the gross cash proceeds in the Private Placement and a cash financial advisory fee equal to 3.0% of the outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Notes that were submitted in the Exchange, excluding certain specified holders, or approximately $0.3 million in additional cash fees in the aggregate. Also, pursuant to the terms of the Engagement Letter, the Company has agreed to reimburse Alexander for up to $100,000 in legal and other out-of-pocket expenses.
 
In addition, the Company has agreed to issue to Alexander, or its designees, warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to 7.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock sold for cash consideration in the Private Placement, or 1,377,458 shares. The Placement Agent Warrants will have substantially the same terms as the Series B Warrants, except that the Placement Agent Warrants will have an exercise price equal to $1.06 per share, will not be callable, will provide for cashless exercise, and will not be exercisable until the earlier of the Stockholder Approval (as defined below) and the date that is six months following the issuance thereof.
 
The Company received net cash proceeds from the Private Placement after deducting the placement agent compensation and expenses of approximately $13.5 million.
 
Terms of Series B Preferred Stock
 
Pursuant to the Private Placement and the Purchase Agreement, for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) and 5635(d), the Company is required to hold a meeting of its stockholders not later than 60 days following the Closing Date to seek approval (the “Stockholder Approval”) for, among other things, the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon (i) full conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock; and (ii) full exercise of the Series B Warrants and the Exchange Warrants. In the event the Stockholder Approval is not received on or prior to the 90th day following the Closing Date, subject to extension upon the prior written approval of the holders of at least a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding (the “Stockholder Approval Deadline”), the Company is required to repurchase all of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a price equal to 150% of the then applicable Liquidation Preference (as defined below), in cash. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Board is required to support the Stockholder Approval, subject to customary fiduciary obligations, and each Investor has agreed to vote in favor of the Stockholder Approval.
 
Under the Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”), subject to the Stockholder Approval, each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible, at the holder’s option at any time, into Common Stock at a conversion rate equal to the quotient of (i) the $7,700 stated value (the “Series B Stated Value”) divided by (ii) the initial conversion price of $0.77, subject to specified adjustments for stock splits, cash or stock dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications other similar events as set forth in the Certificate of Designations. In addition, subject to the Stockholder Approval, if at any time after the six month anniversary of the Closing Date, the closing sale price per share of Common Stock exceeds 250% of the initial conversion price, or $1.925, for 20 consecutive trading days, then all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert (the “Automatic Conversion”) into such number of shares of Common Stock as is obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be so converted, plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, by the Series B Stated Value per share and dividing the result by the then applicable conversion price.
 
The Series B Preferred Stock will contain limitations that prevent the holder thereof from acquiring shares of Common Stock upon conversion (including pursuant to the Automatic Conversion) that would result in the number of shares beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates exceeding 9.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the conversion, which percentage may be increased or decreased at the holder’s election not to exceed 19.99%.

Each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, in preference and priority to the holders of all other classes or series of stock of the Company, is entitled to receive dividends, commencing from the date of issuance. Such dividends may be paid by the Company only when, as and if declared by the Board, out of assets legally available therefore, semiannually in arrears on the last day of June and December in each year, commencing December 31, 2020, at the dividend rate of 9.0% per year, which is cumulative and continues to accrue on a daily basis whether or not declared and whether or not the Company has assets legally available therefore. The Company may pay such dividends at its option either in cash or in kind in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share), provided the Company must pay in cash the fair value of any such fractional shares in excess of $100.00. In the event that a registration statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below) has not been declared effective on or prior to the date that is 30 days after the date of the Stockholder Approval (or 30) days after the date of the Stockholder Approval if the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) conducts a full review of such registration statement), the dividend rate will be adjusted to equal a fixed rate of one and one half percent 1.5% per calendar month.
 
Under the Certificate of Designations, each share of Series B Preferred Stock carries a liquidation preference equal to the Series B Stated Value (as adjusted thereunder) plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (the “Liquidation Preference”).
 
After the date of the Stockholder Approval, in the event the Company effects any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents for cash consideration, or a combination of units thereof (a “Subsequent Financing”), the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have the right, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Certificate of Designations, at its option, to exchange (in lieu of cash subscription payments) all or some of the Series B Preferred Stock then held (with a value per share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the Liquidation Preference) for any securities or units issued in a Subsequent Financing on dollar-for-dollar basis.
 
The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, will have customary consent rights with respect to certain corporate actions of the Company. The Company may not take the following actions without the prior consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding: (a) authorize, create, designate, establish, issue or sell an increased number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock or any other class or series of capital stock ranking senior to or on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation; (b) reclassify any shares of Common Stock or any other class or series of capital stock into shares having any preference or priority as to dividends or upon liquidation superior to or on parity with any such preference or priority of Series B Preferred Stock; (c) amend, alter or repeal the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company and the powers, preferences, privileges, relative, participating, optional and other special rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, which would adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series B Preferred Stock; (d) issue any indebtedness or debt security, other than trade accounts payable, insurance premium financings and/or letters of credit, performance bonds or other similar credit support incurred in the ordinary course of business, or amend, renew, increase, or otherwise alter in any material respect the terms of any such indebtedness existing as of the date of first issuance of shares of Series B Preferred Stock; (e) redeem, purchase, or otherwise acquire or pay or declare any dividend or other distribution on (or pay into or set aside for a sinking fund for any such purpose) any capital stock of the Company; (f) declare bankruptcy, dissolve, liquidate, or wind up the affairs of the Company; (g) effect, or enter into any agreement to effect, a Change of Control (as defined in the Certificate of Designations); or (h) materially modify or change the nature of the Company’s business.

Terms of Series B Warrants and Exchange Warrants
 
The Series B Warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.85 per share, subject to adjustment, for that number of shares of Common Stock (the “Series B Warrant Shares”) equal to 50% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock purchased by each Investor, or 14,524,054 shares in the aggregate. The Series B Warrants expire five years from the date of issuance and, in the event that the Company has not obtained the Stockholder Approval on or prior to the 90th day following the Closing Date, the Investors must surrender the Warrants to the Company for cancellation in connection with the Company’s repurchase of the Series B Preferred Stock a 150% premium, as described above. The holders of the Series B Warrants may exercise the Series B Warrants on a cashless basis, solely to the extent no resale registration statement (or applicable exemption from registration) is available at the time of exercise. The Company is prohibited from effecting an exercise of any Series B Warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates exceeding 9.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, which percentage may be increased or decreased at the holder’s election not to exceed 19.99%. The Series B Warrants will not be exercisable until the Stockholder Approval is obtained and will expire unvested to the extent the Stockholder Approval is not obtained on or before the Stockholder Approval Deadline.
 
As additional consideration for the Exchange, the Company has also agreed to issue solely to the Exchange Investors, in addition to the Series B Warrants, Exchange Warrants representing the right to purchase, at an exercise price equal to $0.85 per share, that number of shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Warrant Shares”), assuming conversion of the entire balance of such Exchange Investor’s Promissory Note, equal to 25% of the shares of Common Stock into which such Promissory Note was originally convertible upon the initial issuance thereof, or 1,772,972 shares in the aggregate. The Exchange Warrants have the same terms as the Series B Warrants including with respect to the exercisability and expiration thereof.
 
In addition, the Series B Warrants and the Exchange Warrants, are subject to a call provision. If at any time, the closing sale price per share of Common Stock exceeds 350% of the then applicable exercise price for 20 consecutive trading days, or $2.975 based on the initial exercise price on the Closing Date, the Company at its sole option may provide notice to the holders of the Series B Warrants and the Exchange Warrants (the “Call Notice”), to exercise the Series B Warrant Shares and Exchange Warrant Shares (the “Called Warrant Shares”). If the warrants are not exercised by the 10th trading day following the Call Notice, the Company will remit to the holders $0.01 per Called Warrant Share, and the related portion of the Series B Warrants and Exchange Warrants will be cancelled.
 
Registration Rights Agreement
 
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of July 16, 2020 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with the Investors, pursuant to which the Company will undertake to file, within 10 days following the Closing Date, a registration statement to register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and upon exercise of the Series B Warrants and the Exchange Warrants (the “Registrable Securities”); and to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC promptly following the Stockholder Approval, but in no event later than thirty 30 days after the date of the Stockholder Approval (or 60 days after the date of the Stockholder Approval if the SEC conducts a full review of the registration statement) and maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement until all such shares of Common Stock registered have been sold or are otherwise able to be sold pursuant to Rule 144. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides for piggy-back registration rights, subject to the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement.

Amendment to Incentive Plan
 
On July 16, 2020, the Board approved an amendment to the Company’s 2014 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The amendment eliminates individual grant limits under the Incentive Plan that were intended to comply with the exemption for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which section has been repealed. A copy of the amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.3 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
 
Option Grants
 
Effective July 16, 2020, the Board authorized the grant of stock options covering a total of 2,040,000 shares of Common Stock under the Incentive Plan to certain employees, officers and directors. Such options each have an exercise price of $0.85 per share, the closing sale price of the Common Stock on their date of grant. James Sapirstein, Chief Executive Officer, received options to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of the Common Stock, 600,000 of which will vest in equal monthly installments over a term of three years commencing on the one month anniversary of the issuance date, and 600,000 of which will vest upon the achievement of certain strategic milestones specified by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Daniel Schneiderman, Chief Financial Officer, received options to purchase up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock and James E. Pennington, Chief Medical Officer, received options to purchase up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock, each vesting in equal monthly installments over a term of three years commencing on the one month anniversary of the issuance date.
 
In addition, effective July 16, 2020, the Board also approved an amended and restated option grant to Daniel Schneiderman, amending and restating a grant previously made on January 2, 2020, to reduce the amount of shares issuable upon exercise of such option to be the maximum number of shares Mr. Schneiderman was eligible to receive under the Incentive Plan on the original grant date (or 300,000 shares), due to the Incentive Plan provisions relating to the Section 162(m) limitations described above. The Board also approved the issuance of a replacement option covering the balance of shares intended to be issued at that time (or 35,006 shares). The amended and restated option has an exercise price of $1.03, the closing sale price of Common Stock on January 2, 2020, which was the date of its original grant, and the replacement option has an exercise price of $0.85, the closing sale price of the Common Stock on its date of grant. Both the amended and restated option and the replacement option vest over a term of three years, in 36 equal monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of January 2, 2020.

In connection with the closing of the Private Placement and the Exchange described in item 1.01 above, on July 16, 2020, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Certificate of Designations, which became immediately effective. The information contained in Item 1.01 related to the Certificate of Designations and the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03.
 
Item 5.08 Shareholder Director Nominations.
 
The Company has scheduled its 2020 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2020 Annual Meeting”) to be held on September 11, 2020 at 9:00 a.m., Eastern time at the offices of Lowenstein Sandler LLP located at One Lowenstein Drive, Roseland, New Jersey, 07068, or at such other time and location to be determined by the authorized officers of the Company and set forth in the Company's proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, and established July 31, 2020, as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2020 Annual Meeting.
 
Because the date of the 2020 Annual Meeting will be more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders, the deadline for submission of proposals by stockholders for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), will be 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 24, 2020 (the “Proposal Deadline”), which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and distribute its proxy materials prior to the 2020 Annual Meeting. Any such proposal must also meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting, and should be sent in writing to the Corporate Secretary at the following address: AzurRx BioPharma, Inc., Attention: Chief Financial Officer, 760 Parkside Avenue, Downstate Biotechnology Incubator, Suite 304, Brooklyn, NY 11226.

Such rights of conversion shall be exercised by the holder thereof by surrender of a certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the holder or holders of the Series B Preferred Stock), together with a properly completed notice of conversion in the form attached to the Series B Preferred Stock certificate with a statement of (i) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted by such holder, and (ii) the name or names (with address), subject to compliance with applicable laws to the extent such designation shall involve a transfer, in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock, shall be issued, at any time during its usual business hours on the date set forth in such notice.

As of the Automatic Conversion Date all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted to the number of shares of Common Stock calculated pursuant to this Section 4A.(b) without any further action by the relevant holder of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock or the Company. As promptly as practicable following the Automatic Conversion Date, the Company shall send each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock written notice of such event. Promptly after receipt of such notice, each holder shall surrender a certificate or certificates for the shares to be converted to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency of the Company as the Company may designate by notice in writing to the holder or holders of the Series B Preferred Stock), together with a properly completed statement of the name or names (with address), subject to compliance with applicable laws to the extent such designation shall involve a transfer, in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock, shall be issued, at any time during its usual business hours on the date set forth in such notice.

Upon the effective date of any such conversion, the rights of the holder of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted shall cease, and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or 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 represented thereby.
 
4C.           Fractional Shares; Dividends; Partial Conversion. No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share provided the Company shall pay in cash the fair value of any such fractional share that is in excess of $100.00, which fair value shall be equal to (x) the fraction of a share of Common Stock represented by such fractional amount, multiplied by (y) the Conversion Price. Subject to subsection 4G, upon any conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company shall pay to the holder all accrued and unpaid Series B Preferred Dividends to the date of conversion, at the sole option of the Company, in cash or in PIK Shares; provided, that, on the date of conversion, Series B Preferred Dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock so converted. In case the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or certificates surrendered pursuant to subsection 4A(a) exceeds the number of shares converted, the Company shall upon such conversion, execute and deliver to the holder thereof at the expense of the Company, a new certificate for the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock represented by the certificate or certificates surrendered which are not to be converted.

Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
 
4E.           Reorganization or Reclassification. If any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation in which the Company is not the survivor, or sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another corporation (each, a “Reorganization”) shall be effected, then, as a condition of such Reorganization, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each holder of a share or shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall thereafter have the right to receive, in the holder’s sole discretion, either (x) an amount in cash equal to the Liquidation Preference, provided that this clause (x) shall not apply to any Reorganization that is not required to be approved by the holders of Common Stock, or (y) upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the Conversion Shares immediately theretofore receivable upon the conversion of such share or shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Conversion Shares equal to the number of Conversion Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, had such Reorganization not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of such holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including without limitation provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of such conversion rights. The Company shall not effect any such Reorganization unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such Reorganization, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets (or other appropriate corporation or entity), shall assume the obligation to deliver to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, at the last addresses of such holders appearing on the books of the Company, such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holders may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations hereunder. The provisions of this subsection 4E shall similarly apply to successive Reorganizations.
 
4F.           Distributions. Subject to Section 2(b), in case the Company shall fix a payment date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation) of evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than cash dividends or cash distributions payable out of consolidated earnings or earned surplus or dividends or distributions referred to in Section 4D), or subscription rights or warrants, the Conversion Price to be in effect after such payment date shall be determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such payment date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by the Market Price per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such payment date, less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith) of said assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed, or of such subscription rights or warrants, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by such Market Price per share of Common Stock immediately prior to such payment date.
 
 
 
 
4G.           Adjustment for Unissued Shares. To the extent that applicable law or any existing contractual restrictions of the Company prohibit any required issuance pursuant to this Certificate of (x) PIK Shares or (y) additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock ((x) and (y), collectively, “Additional Shares”), then appropriate adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made, in connection with any conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, or any calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock into which shares of Series B Preferred Stock would be convertible, such that the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock are, or would be, convertible equals the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares, plus any Additional Shares in respect of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, would be convertible but for the effects of such prohibition. On the date of a conversion in connection with which an adjustment under this subsection 4G is being made, all Series B Preferred Dividends which were previously accrued and unpaid on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted shall be deemed paid in full.
 
4H.           Effective Date of Adjustment. An adjustment to the Conversion Price shall become effective immediately after the payment date in the case of each dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date of each other event which requires an adjustment; provided that any adjustment pursuant to subsection 4G shall be made solely in the circumstances required by such subsection.
 
4I.           Subsequent Adjustments.

(a)           The Company shall not effect any conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and a holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall not have the right to convert any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after conversion, the holder of Series B Preferred Stock (together with the Affiliates of such holder of Series B Preferred Stock, and any other Persons acting as a group within the meaning of Rule 13D-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act together with such holder of Series B Preferred Stock or any Affiliates of such holder of Series B Preferred Stock) (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 a holder of Series B Preferred Stock and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock held with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of the Series B Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such holder of Series B Preferred Stock or any of its Affiliates (or Attribution Parties) and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other common stock equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such holder of Series B Preferred Stock or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 7(a), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by such holder of Series B Preferred Stock that the Company is not representing to such holder of Series B Preferred Stock that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and such holder of Series B Preferred Stock is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 7(a) applies, the determination of whether the shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such holder of Series B Preferred Stock together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of such Series B Preferred Stock is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such holder of Series B Preferred Stock, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the determination of such holder of Series B Preferred Stock of whether such shares of Series B Preferred Stock are exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such holder of Series B Preferred Stock together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock are exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 7(a), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, such holder of Series B Preferred Stock may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a holder of Series B Preferred Stock, the Company shall within two trading days confirm orally and in writing to such holder of Series B Preferred Stock the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, by such holder of Series B Preferred Stock 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 the Series B Preferred Stock. Such holder of Series B Preferred Stock, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 7(a), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 19.99% 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 such shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder and the provisions of this Section 7(a) 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 Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 7(a) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
 
 
 
 
(b)           The Company shall not effect any conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and a holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall not have the right to convert any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise, prior to the Company obtaining the Stockholder Approval.
 
8.           Subsequent Financing Exchange Right. From the date hereof and after the Stockholder Approval, if the Company effects any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents for cash consideration, or a combination of units thereof (a “Subsequent Financing”), the holder of any share or shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right, at its option, to exchange (in lieu of cash subscription payments) all or some of the Series B Preferred Stock then held (with a value per share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the Liquidation Preference) for any securities or units issued in a Subsequent Financing on dollar-for-dollar basis; provided, however, that this Section 8 shall not apply with respect to an Exempt Issuance.
 
9.           Redemption.
 
(a)           The Company shall have no right to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock except as set forth in this Section 9.
 
(b)           In the event Stockholder Approval is not received on or prior to the ninetieth (90th) day following the Final Closing, subject to extension upon the prior written approval of the holders of at least a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding (the “Stockholder Approval Deadline”), the Company shall repurchase all of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a price equal to 150% times the then applicable Liquidation Preference (the “Redemption Price”), in cash (“Mandatory Cash Redemption”).
 
(c)           No greater than ten (10) days subsequent to the Stockholder Approval Deadline, notice by first class mail, postage prepaid, shall be given to the registered holders of the Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed, addressed to such holders at their last addresses as shown on the stock transfer books of the Company.  Each such notice shall specify the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Date”), which date shall be the Stockholder Approval Deadline, the Redemption Price, and the place or places for surrender of the certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Any notice which is mailed by the Company as herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given by the Company on the date deposited in the mail, whether or not the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock receives such notice; and failure to properly give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice, to the holders of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series B Preferred Stock. On or after the Redemption Date, each holder of shares Series B Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificates representing such shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Company at the place designated in the notice of such redemption.
 
(d)           The Company shall pay the applicable Redemption Price upon the receipt of surrender of the certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Company shall so reasonably require, and letters of transmittal and instructions therefor on reasonable terms as are included in the notice sent by the Company); provided, that if such certificates are lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may require such holder to execute an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith, prior to paying such Redemption Price.
 
(e)           Shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed on the Redemption Date, as the case may be, will from and after the Redemption Date, no longer be deemed to be outstanding; and all powers, designations, preferences and other rights of the holder thereof as a holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock (except the right to receive from the Company the applicable Redemption Price) shall cease and terminate with respect to such shares; provided, that in the event that a share of Series B Preferred Stock is not redeemed due to a default in payment by the Company or because the Company is otherwise unable to pay the applicable Redemption Price in cash in full, such share of Series B Preferred Stock will remain outstanding and will be entitled to all of the powers, designations, preferences and other rights as provided herein.
 
 
 
 
(f)           Any Mandatory Cash Redemption pursuant to this Section 9 shall be payable out of any cash legally available therefor. At the time of the Mandatory Cash Redemption, the Company shall take all actions required or permitted under Delaware law to permit the Mandatory Cash Redemption and to make funds legally available for such Mandatory Cash Redemption. To the extent that the Company has insufficient funds to redeem all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon the Mandatory Cash Redemption, the Company shall use available funds to redeem a pro rata portion of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, to the extent permissible under Delaware law.
 
10.           Transfer Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything in the Certificate of Incorporation or this Certificate to the contrary, no holder of Series B Preferred Shares may Transfer any of such holder’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that any holder may at any time Transfer any of such holder’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock (a) to one or more of such holder’s Affiliates, (b) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual, and (c) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. Each holder agrees that in connection with any Transfer consented to by the Company, such holder shall, if requested by the Company, deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and counsel for the Company, to the effect that the Transfer is not in violation of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, this Certificate, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any state. Any purported Transfer in violation of the provisions of this Section 10 shall be null and void and shall have no force or effect.
 
11.           No Waiver. Except as otherwise modified or provided for herein, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall also be entitled to, and shall not be deemed to have waived, any other applicable rights granted to such holders under the DGCL.
 
12.           No Impairment. The Company will not, through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger scheme or arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company but will at all time in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions herein and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights and liquidation preferences granted hereunder of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock above the Conversion Price then in effect and shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock.
 
13.           Amendment; Waiver. Any term of the Series B Preferred Stock may be amended or waived upon the written consent of the Company and the holders of at least a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding; provided, however, that the number of Conversion Shares issuable hereunder and the Conversion Price may not be amended (except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 4 herein), and the right to convert the Series B Preferred Stock may not be altered or waived, without the written consent of the holders of all of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding.
 
14.           Action By Holders. Any action or consent to be taken or given by the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock may be given either at a meeting of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock called and held for such purpose or by written consent.
 
15.           Fractional Shares. Series B Preferred Stock may not be issued in fractions of a share of more than six decimal places, and the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to any provision hereof shall be rounded down to the nearest six decimal places, provided the Company shall pay in cash the fair value of any such fractional share beyond six decimal places that is in excess of $100.00, which fair value shall be equal to the Fractional Share Amount.

Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder and the Holder has provided the Company with written representations as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with such legend removal or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 and the Holder has provided the Company with written representations as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with such legend removal, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earlier of (i) three (3) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

v.
Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
e)           Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group within the meaning of Rule 13D-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act together with the Holder or any of the 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 the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates (or Attribution Parties) and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder 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 exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) 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 Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3.                      Certain Adjustments.
 
a)           Adjustments for Stock Splits, Combinations, Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Initial Exercise Date, effect a split of the outstanding Common Stock (or any other subdivision of its shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock), combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then, in each event (i) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant shall be exercisable immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock that a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the occurrence of such event would own or be entitled to receive after the happening of such event, and (ii) the Exercise Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (A) the Exercise Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
 
b)           Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Initial Exercise Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in (i) cash, (ii) any evidences of indebtedness, or any other securities of the Company or any property of any nature whatsoever, other than, in each case, shares of Common Stock; or (iii) any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of indebtedness, or any other securities of the Company or any property of any nature whatsoever, other than, in each case, shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, (A) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant shall be exercisable shall be adjusted to equal the product of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction (1) the numerator of which shall be the last closing bid price per share of the Common Stock at the date of taking such record and (2) the denominator of which shall be such last closing bid price per share of the Common Stock minus the amount allocable to one share of Common Stock of any such cash so distributable and of the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Board) of any and all such evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights so distributable, and (B) the Exercise Price then in effect shall be adjusted to equal (1) the Exercise Price then in effect multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment divided by (2) the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment. A reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value) into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a distribution by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock within the meaning of this Section 3(b) and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such change shall be deemed a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 3(a).
 
c)           Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable at any time or from time to time after the Initial Exercise Date shall be changed to the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Section 3(a), Section 3(b), or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for in Section 3(d)), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Exercise Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Exercise Price or otherwise) so that, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, in lieu of Common Stock, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

d)           Adjustments for Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of Assets. If at any time or from time to time after the Initial Exercise Date there shall be a capital reorganization of the Company (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends or distributions provided for in Section 3(a), and Section 3(b), or a reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for in Section 3(c)), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation where the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting securities prior to such merger or consolidation do not own over 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the merged or consolidated entity, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets to any other person (an “Organic Change”), then as a part of such Organic Change an appropriate revision to the Exercise Price shall be made if necessary and provision shall be made if necessary (by adjustments of the Exercise Price or otherwise) so that, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, in lieu of Common Stock, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property of the Company or any successor corporation resulting from the Organic Change. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3(d) with respect to the rights of the Holder after the Organic Change to the end that the provisions of this Section 3(d) (including any adjustment in the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of shares of stock or other securities deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be applied after that event in as nearly an equivalent manner as may be practicable.
 
e)           Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
 
f)            
Notice to Holder.
 
i.
Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a notice by facsimile or email setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
 
ii.
Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified for such shorter period as is reasonable, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 4.                      Transfer of Warrant.
 
a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations reasonably requested in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant full.  The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
 
b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Initial Exercise Date and shall be substantially identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
 
c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
 
d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of [the Purchase Agreement and]13 applicable securities laws.
 
e) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

Section 5.                      [Call. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company, at its sole option, may call up to one hundred percent (100%) of this Warrant by providing the Holder of this Warrant written notice pursuant to Section 6(j) (the “Call Notice”) if the Per Share Market Value of the Common Stock has been equal to or greater than three hundred fifty (350%) percent of the Exercise Price (as may be adjusted pursuant Section 3(a)) for a period of twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date of delivery of the Call Notice. The rights and privileges granted pursuant to this Warrant with respect to the Warrant Shares subject to the Call Notice (the “Called Warrant Shares”) shall expire on the 10th Trading Day after the Holder receives the Call Notice (the “Early Termination Date”) if this Warrant is not exercised with respect to such Called Warrant Shares prior to such Early Termination Date. In the event this Warrant is not exercised with respect to the Called Warrant Shares, the Company shall remit to the Holder of this Warrant (1) $0.01 per Called Warrant Share and (2) a new Warrant representing the number of Warrant Shares, if any, which shall not have been subject to the Call Notice upon the Holder tendering to the Company the applicable Warrant certificate. The Company may not provide a Call Notice, and any attempt to issue a Call Notice or require the cancellation of this Warrant shall be voidable, to the extent that: (U) the Company has not obtained the Stockholder Approval; (V) a Holder would be unable, pursuant to Section 2(e), to exercise the Warrant, except to the extent the Company makes reasonable provision for the issuance of a prefunded warrant (or similar instrument) with a similar Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as those specified in Section 2(e) (a “Prefunded Warrant”) in lieu of Common Stock in connection with any such exercise; (W) the Holder is in possession of any information provided by the Company to the Holder that constitutes, or reasonably might constitute, material non-public information; (X) the Company has failed to honor any attempted exercise of the Warrants as of 6:30 p.m. New York City time on the date of the Call Notice; (Y) at any time between the date of the Call Notice and Early Termination Date the Common Stock is neither listed on a securities exchange or market nor quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or the Pink Sheets, LLC (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices); or (Z) the issuance of the Warrant Shares would cause a breach of the covenants in Sections 6(e).]14
 
Section 6.                      Miscellaneous.
 
a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.
 
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
 
c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
 
d) Automatic Exercise upon Expiration. In the event that, upon the Termination Date, the Per Share Market Value of one share of Common Stock (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with this Warrant above is greater than the Exercise Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise as to all shares (or such other securities) for which this Warrant shall not previously have been exercised or converted, and the Company shall promptly deliver the shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to the Holder; provided, however, to the extent that the foregoing automatic exercise would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Company shall issue to the Holder [a Prefunded Warrant]15/[a prefunded warrant (or similar instrument) with a similar Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as those specified in Section 2(e) (a “Prefunded Warrant”)]16 in an equivalent manner so that the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Prefunded Warrant would equal the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such automatic exercise, as would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

e) [Surrender of Warrant. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that the Company failed to obtain the Stockholder Approval on or prior to the Stockholder Approval Deadline (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), the Holder shall surrender the Warrant to the Company for cancellation simultaneously with the redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Designation).]17
 
f) Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
 
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, reasonably necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
 
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be reasonably necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
 
g) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any of the conflicts of law principles which would result in the application of the substantive law of another jurisdiction. Each of the Company and the Holder (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court sitting in the Southern District of New York and the courts of the State of New York located in New York county for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant or any of the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper.
 
h) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

i) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
 
j) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email at the facsimile number or email address of the addressee at or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email at the facsimile number or email address of the addressee on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth in the Company’s records.
 
k) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
 
l) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
m) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
 
n) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the prior written consent of the Company and the [holders of a majority of the Warrant Shares underlying the then outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, provided that any modification or amendment which adversely impacts the Holder’s rights under this Warrant in a manner disproportionately from the holders of the other outstanding Warrants shall require the approval of the]18 Holder.
 
o) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
 
p) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

(h) Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for corporate and general working capital purposes, including the Company’s clinical trials and the repayment of Promissory Notes held by prior Investors that do not participate in this Exchange.

i. Promptly following the Final Closing, the Company shall take all action necessary to call a meeting of its stockholders (the “Stockholders Meeting”), which shall occur not later than 60 days following the Final Closing (the “Stockholders Meeting Deadline”), for the purpose of seeking approval (the “Stockholder Approval”) of the Company’s stockholders, among other things, for (w) the issuance of all Conversion Shares upon full conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), (x) the issuance of all shares of Common Stock issuable upon full exercise of the Series B Warrants and the Exchange Warrants, (y) the Subsequent Financing (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) exchange rights pursuant to Section 8 of the Certificate of Designation and (z) the participation of certain directors and officers of the Company as Investors, as applicable, in the Exchange and offering of the Securities for Cash Consideration hereunder, each in accordance with applicable law, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws, and the applicable requirements of the Trading Market (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) (the “Proposals”).

The Company covenants that the Board of Directors of the Company shall not modify, amend or withdraw the Company Board Recommendation unless the Board of Directors (after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel) shall determine in the good faith exercise of its business judgment that maintaining the Company Board Recommendation would violate its fiduciary duty to the Company’s stockholders.

The maximum aggregate liability of each Investor pursuant to its indemnification obligations under this Section 9 shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase Price paid by such Investor hereunder.
 
 
 
-15-
 
 
(b) Indemnification Procedure. Any party entitled to indemnification under this Section 9 (an “indemnified party”) will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 9 except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party, which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding affected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9 to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification required by this Section 9 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably agrees to refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
 
10. Miscellaneous
 
(a) Fees and Expenses. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisors, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses, incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

Investor further acknowledges and agrees that the information contained herein and in the other documents relating to this transaction may be regarded as material non-public information under United States federal securities laws, and that United States federal securities laws prohibit any person who has received material non-public information relating to the Company from purchasing or selling securities of the Company, or from communicating such information to any person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell securities of the Company. Accordingly, until such time as any such non-public information has been adequately disseminated to the public, Investor shall not purchase or sell any securities of the Company, or communicate such information to any other person.

The Company and each Investor consent to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 10(d) shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

2. REGISTRATION.
 
a. Mandatory Registration. The Company shall, within ten (10) calendar days from the date of the Final Closing, file with the SEC a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities, or such amount as otherwise shall be permitted to be included thereon in accordance with applicable SEC rules, regulations and interpretations so as to permit the resale of such Registrable Securities by the Holders under Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Each Holder shall furnish all information reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion therein. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto declared effective (such date, the “Effective Date”) by the SEC promptly following the Stockholder Approval, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the date of the Stockholder Approval (or sixty (60) days after the date of the Stockholder Approval if the SEC conducts a full review of the Registration Statement) (the “Effectiveness Deadline”). If the Registration Statement has not been declared effective on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline, commencing on the Effectiveness Deadline the dividend on the Preferred Stock will be adjusted as described in Section 2(b) of the Certificate of Designation, with such adjustment applicable until (and not including) the date upon which the Registration Statement has been declared effective. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act and available for the resale by the Holders of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Holders may sell all of the Registrable Securities without restriction (including any volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without current public information) pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (assuming that such securities and any securities issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of which,, or as a dividend upon which, such securities were issued or are issuable, were at no time held by any affiliate of the Company) and (ii) the date on which the Holder shall have sold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby (the “Registration Period”). The Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and Prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.
 
 
 
-2-
 
 
b. Piggy-Back Registrations. If, at any time following the Stockholder Approval there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to the Holders a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the date of the delivery of such notice, the Holders shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered or such amount as otherwise shall be permitted to be included thereon in accordance with applicable SEC rules, regulations and interpretations so as to permit the resale of such Registrable Securities by the Holders under Rule 415 under the Securities Act; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public information requirements) promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement.
 
c. Rule 424 Prospectus. The Company shall, as required by applicable securities regulations, from time to time file with the SEC, pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, the Prospectus and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used in connection with sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement. The Holder shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon such Prospectus within three (3) Business Days from the date the Holder receives the final pre-filing version of such Prospectus.
 
d. Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under the Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement (a “New Registration Statement”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(a) and Section 2(b)) as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than twenty (20) Business Days after the necessity therefor arises, subject to any limits that may be imposed by the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company shall use it reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.
 
e. Offering. If the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Holders under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), or if after the filing of the initial Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company is otherwise required by the Staff or the SEC to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such initial Registration Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such initial Registration Statement until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used as contemplated in this Agreement. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall file one or more New Registration Statements in accordance with Section 2(d) until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the Prospectus contained therein is available for use by the Holders. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the Company’s obligations to register Registrable Securities (and any related conditions to the Holders’ obligations) shall be qualified as necessary to comport with any requirement of the SEC or the Staff as addressed in this Section 2(e).
 
f. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein but subject to comments by the SEC, in no event shall the Company be permitted to name any Holder or affiliate of a Holder as any Underwriter without the prior written consent of such Holder.
 
 
 
-3-
 
 
3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS.
 
With respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to Section 2 including on any New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:
 
a. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to any Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which Prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement.
 
b. The Company shall permit the Holders to review and comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto at least two (2) Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC. The Holders shall use their reasonable best efforts to comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto within two (2) Business Days from the date each Holder receives the final version thereof. At the request of a Holder, the Company shall furnish to such Holder, without charge, any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement.
 
c. Upon request of a Holder, the Company shall furnish to such Holder, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such registration statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any registration statement, a copy of the prospectus included in such registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Holder may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Holder may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, any filing available to the Holders via the SEC’s live EDGAR system shall be deemed “furnished to the Holder” hereunder.
 
d. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as an Holder reasonably requests, if necessary, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify a Holder who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
 
 
 
-4-
 
 
e. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the happening of any event or existence of such facts as a result of which the prospectus included in any 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such registration statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a copy of such supplement or amendment to an Holder (or such other number of copies as such Holder may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify the Holders in writing when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a registration statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (with any filing available to the Holders via the SEC’s live EDGAR system to be deemed sufficient notification thereof).
 
f. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Holder of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
 
g. The Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the Trading Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section.
 
h. The Company shall cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to any Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts as the Holders may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Holder may request.
 
i. The Company shall at all times provide a transfer agent and registrar with respect to its Common Stock.
 
j. If reasonably requested by a Holder, the Company shall (i) promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as such Holder believes should be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable upon notification of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any registration statement.
 
k. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.
 
l. Within one (1) Business Day after any Registration Statement which includes the Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Holders) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC (with any filing available to such parties via the SEC’s live EDGAR system to be deemed sufficient confirmation thereof). Thereafter, if requested by the Holder at any time, the Company shall require its counsel to deliver to the Holders a written confirmation whether or not the effectiveness of such Registration Statement has lapsed at any time for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) and whether or not the Registration Statement is current and available to the Holders for sale of all of the Registrable Securities.
 
m. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement.
 
 
 
-5-
 
 
4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE HOLDERS.
 
a. The Company shall notify the Holders in writing of the information the Company reasonably requires from the Holders in connection with any Registration Statement hereunder. The Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holders, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by them as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.
 
b. The Holders agree to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder.
 
c. The Holders agree that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event or existence of facts of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e), the Holders will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Holders’ receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to promptly deliver shares of Common Stock without any restrictive legend in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Holder has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Holder’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e) and for which the Holder has not yet settled.
 
5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.
 
All reasonable expenses, other than sales or brokerage commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company.
 
6. INDEMNIFICATION.
 
a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Holder, each Person, if any, who controls the Holder, the members, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of the Holder and each Person, if any, who controls the Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final Prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement or (iv) any material violation by the Company of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such

expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7: (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information about the Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, any new Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such Prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); (ii) with respect to any superseded Prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such Person from whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any Person controlling such Person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the superseded Prospectus was corrected in the revised Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such revised Prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e), and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect Prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it; (iii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Holder to deliver or to cause to be delivered the Prospectus made available by the Company, if such Prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holder pursuant to Section 9.
 
b. In connection with the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, each Holder agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about such Holder and furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(d), such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that such Holder shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Holder as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by such Holder pursuant to Section 9.
 
c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any
 
 
 
-7-
 
 
proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such Indemnified Persons or Indemnified Parties. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
 
d. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.
 
e. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
 
7. CONTRIBUTION.
 
To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.
 
8. REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS.

 Exhibit 99.1
AzurRx BioPharma Closes $15.2 Million Private Placement and $6.9 Million Convertible Note Exchange
 
 
 
Private placement resulting in gross cash proceeds of $15.2 million to advance two Phase 2 clinical trials of MS1819 in patients with cystic fibrosis
Exchange of $6.9 million principal amount of outstanding promissory notes into private placement strengthens balance sheet
 
BROOKLYN, N.Y., July 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AzurRx BioPharma (NASDAQ: AZRX), (“AzurRx” or the “Company”), today announced that on July 16, 2020, it entered into a Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrant Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited and institutional investors relating to the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of certain shares of convertible preferred stock and warrants for cash and in exchange for certain outstanding promissory notes as described below.
 
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,912.583124 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), at a price of $7,700.00 per share, initially convertible into an aggregate of 29,125,833 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at $0.77 per share, together with warrants (the “Series B Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 14,562,957 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share and a term of five years. The gross cash proceeds of the Private Placement were approximately $15.2 million, before deducting placement agent compensation and other offering expenses.
 
Additionally, in connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into an exchange addendum to the Purchase Agreement with certain investors, relating to the exchange of, as consideration in the Private Placement, of approximately $6.9 million aggregate in principal amount, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of its outstanding Senior Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Promissory Notes”), originally due in September 2020 (the “Exchange”). As additional consideration for entering into the Exchange, the Company also issued to those investors certain additional warrants (the “Exchange Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,772,972 shares of Common Stock. The Exchange Warrants have the same terms as the Series B Warrants. The Company anticipates prepaying the outstanding balance of $25,000 aggregate principal amount of Promissory Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon through such prepayment date, held by non-participating holders in the Exchange, following which no Promissory Notes will remain outstanding.
 
“We are excited to have attracted the support of both new and existing investors for this financing, which funds our two Phase 2 clinical trials and Phase 3 preparations. In addition, the promissory note exchange furthers strengthens our balance sheet by removing $6.9 million in near-term debt obligations,” said James Sapirstein, Chief Executive Officer of AzurRx. “We thank the team at Alexander Capital for their continued support of the Company and their dedication to making these transactions a success.”
 
AzurRx currently intends to use the net cash proceeds from the Private Placement for research and development expenses associated with its continuing clinical development and testing of MS1819 and for other general corporate purposes and capital expenditures.
 
Alexander Capital L.P. acted as sole placement agent for the Private Placement and financial advisor for the Exchange.
 


 
 
 
Pursuant to the Private Placement and the Purchase Agreement, and for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) and 5635(d), the Company is required to hold a meeting of its stockholders not later than 60 days following the closing of the Private Placement to seek approval (the “Stockholder Approval”) for, among other things, the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon full conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and full exercise of the Series B Warrants and the Exchange Warrants, which the Company will include in the matters to be voted on at its upcoming annual meeting.
 
The Company simultaneously announced that its annual meeting of stockholders for 2020 (the “Annual Meeting”) will be held on September 11, 2020 at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time at the offices of Lowenstein Sandler LLP located at One Lowenstein Drive, Roseland, New Jersey, 07068, or at such other time and location to be determined by the authorized officers of the Company and set forth in the Company's proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, and established July 31, 2020, as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2020 Annual Meeting.
 
Because the date of the 2020 Annual Meeting will be more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders, the deadline for submission of proposals by stockholders for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), will be 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 24, 2020 (the “Proposal Deadline”), which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and distribute its proxy materials prior to the 2020 Annual Meeting. Any such proposal must also meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting, and should be sent in writing to the Corporate Secretary at the following address: AzurRx BioPharma, Inc., Attention: Chief Financial Officer, 760 Parkside Avenue, Downstate Biotechnology Incubator, Suite 304, Brooklyn, NY 11226.
 
The securities sold in the Private Placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state or other applicable jurisdiction’s securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state or other jurisdictions’ securities laws. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registering the resale of the securities sold in the private placement no later than 10 days after the closing of the private placement and cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC promptly following the Stockholder Approval, but in no event later than 30 days after the date of the Stockholder Approval (or 60 days after the date of the Stockholder Approval if the SEC conducts a full review of the registration statement). Any offering of the securities under the resale registration statement will only be made by means of a prospectus.
