The Company also irrevocably waives any right it may have under Section 1(g) of the Prior Warrants to require the mandatory exercise of the Prior Warrants.
The Company agrees that Section 4(p)(iii) of the New Securities Purchase Agreement shall govern the Investors' rights with respect to the Subsequent Placements referred to therein in lieu of the corresponding provisions of the Prior Securities Purchase Agreements.
