WHEREAS, on March 27, 2018 the Company has announced a public offering of shares of Common Stock (“Shares”) and related warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-221285) and a related prospectus supplement (the “Offering”);
WHEREAS, the Company currently does not have sufficient authorized share capital for the issuance of all of the Shares based on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance and has requested that the Holder permit the Company to unreserve shares underlying the Outstanding Warrants for issuance in the Offering, among other things; and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Holder have agreed to amend the Outstanding Warrants in the manner provided in this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein below and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, the Holder and the Company hereby agree as follows:
1. Capitalized Terms. Unless otherwise specified in this Amendment, all terms herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Outstanding Warrants.

Subject to and conditioned upon the closing of the Offering on or before April 4, 2018 and the Nasdaq Stock Market not objecting to the Exercise Price Amendment (as hereinafter defined), Section 2(b) of the Outstanding Warrants is amended and replaced in its entirety with the following (“Exercise Price Amendment”):
“Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.60, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).”
