AGREEMENT
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned parties agree as follows:
1.
Amendment to Exchange Warrant. Without further action required by the parties hereto, the definition of “Warrant Price” as set forth in Article 8 of the Exchange Warrant is hereby amended as follows:
“Warrant Price” initially means U.S. $0.50, as such price may be adjusted from time to time as shall result from the adjustments specified in the Warrant, including Article 4 hereof.
2.
Amendment to Investment Warrants. Without further action required by the parties hereto, the definition of “Warrant Price” as set forth in Article 8 of each of the Investment Warrants is hereby amended as follows:
“Warrant Price” initially means U.S. $0.50, as such price may be adjusted from time to time as shall result from the adjustments specified in the Warrant, including Article 4 hereof.
3.
Waiver of Adjustment Provisions. In consideration for the amendments to the exercise price of the Warrants, as set forth in this Amendment, Platinum agrees to waive any right to adjust the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Adjustment Provisions set forth in Section 4.8 of the Investment Warrants and Exchange Warrants caused by Approved Dilutive Issuances, consisting of the following transactions
3.1
Any purchase of the Company’s Common Stock by Bergamo Acquisition Corp PTE, LTD at a price of at least $0.50 per share, on or before September 30, 2013, on substantially the terms heretofore presented to Platinum;
3.2
The grant on March 3, 2013 to certain officers and directors of the Company of ten-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3.0 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.64 per share; and
3.3
The issuance of shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the exercise, at a reduced exercise price equal to at least $0.50 per share, of previously issued and outstanding warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “Reduced-Price Exercises”), provided, however, that (i) the aggregate gross proceeds from such Reduced-Price Exercises shall not exceed $1.5 million, and (ii) all such Reduced Price Exercises, if any, shall be completed on or before June 30, 2013, unless extended in writing by Platinum.
The parties agree and acknowledge that the Adjustment Provisions shall only be waived with respect to each of the Approved Dilutive Issuances. In the event the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of Common Stock, at a price of less than $1.50 per share, that does not constitute an Approved Dilutive Issuance (a “Dilutive Issuance”), the Adjustment Provisions set forth in Section 4.8 of the Investment Warrants and the Exchange Warrants shall be given full force and effect with respect to such Dilutive Issuance that are not otherwise approved as set forth in this Section 3 as if the then-current exercise prices of the Warrants was $1.50 per share, notwithstanding the amendment to such exercise prices set forth in Sections 1 and 2 hereof.
4.

5.
The provisions of the Warrants, as modified herein, shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms and are hereby ratified and confirmed. Platinum does not in any way waive the Company’s obligations to comply with any of the provisions, covenants and terms of the Agreement and Warrants (as amended hereby) and the other Transaction Documents, as defined in the Agreement.
