WAIVER AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
Section 2.1 Waiver. The Holder hereby waives, effective as of the date hereof, the Company’s obligation to effect the 2020 Redemption on January 31, 2020 (the “2020 Redemption Waiver”) provided that:
| (a) | As more fully set forth in Section 2.2, the Company issues to the Holder warrants to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock, as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Waiver Warrants”); |
| (b) | On the last Business Day of any calendar week during which the Company raises capital through a sale of securities of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof through an at-the-market offering (as defined in Rule 415 under the 1933 Act), the Company shall use fifty percent (50%) of the proceeds raised from such drawdown, net of commissions and reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with such drawdown (the “ATM Net Proceeds”), to redeem a number of Series G-1 Preferred Shares from the Holder corresponding to the Conversion Amount thereof obtained by calculating the Holder’s pro rata portion of the ATM Net Proceeds based on the number of Series G-1 Preferred Shares originally issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, rounded down to the nearest $1,000, by paying to the Holder such cash amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions provided by the Holders in writing to the Company; | |
| (c) | Upon the consummation of any financing by the Company other than as contemplated by Section 2.1(b) above, the Company shall use one hundred percent (100%) of the proceeds raised from such financing, net of reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with such financing (the “Financing Net Proceeds”), to redeem a number of Series G-1 Preferred Shares from the Holder corresponding to the Conversion Amount thereof obtained by calculating the Holder’s pro rata portion of the Financing Net Proceeds based on the number of Series G-1 Preferred Shares originally issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, rounded down to the nearest $1,000, by paying to the Holder such cash amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions provided by the Holder in writing to the Company; and | |

In consideration for the Holder’s 2020 Redemption Waiver, the Company shall deliver to the Holder, within two (2) Business Days of the date hereof, Waiver Warrants exercisable for a number of shares of Common Stock as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.

Section 2.3 Legends; Restricted Securities. (a) The Holder understands that the Waiver Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of thereof (the “Waiver Warrant Shares” and together with the Waiver Warrants, the “New Securities”) are not, and may never be, registered under the 1933 Act, or the securities laws of any state and, accordingly, each certificate, if any, representing such securities shall bear the following legend:
[NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN][THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN] REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.
(b) Certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock underlying the Waiver Warrants shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 2.3(a) hereof), (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such Common Stock is effective under the 1933 Act, (ii) following any sale of such Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Common Stock is eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Common Stock and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, (iv) if such Common Stock may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 (“Current Public Information Requirement”) as to such Common Stock, or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the transfer agent promptly after the Delegend Date (as defined below) if required by the Company and/or the transfer agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, which opinion shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Holder. If such Common Stock may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) then such Common Stock shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Delegend Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 2.3(b), it will, no later than two (2) Trading Days following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the transfer agent of a certificate representing the Common Stock underlying the Waiver Warrants issued with a restrictive legend (such second Trading Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends or, at the request of the Holder shall credit the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Holder. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the transfer agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.3(b). As used herein:
(i) “Delegend Date” means the earliest of the date that (a) a registration statement with respect to the Common Stock has been declared effective by the SEC or (b) all of the Common Stock has been sold pursuant to Rule 144 or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the Current Public Information Requirement and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or (c) following the six (6) month anniversary of (I) the date hereof if a Waiver Warrant is exercised pursuant to a cashless exercise or (II) the date of the related cash exercise of the Waiver Warrants; provided, in each case that the applicable holder of the Waiver Warrants or the Common Stock, as the case may be, is not an affiliate of the Company, the Company is in compliance with the Current Public Information Requirement and all such Common Stock may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(1) of the 1933 Act without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions
| 3 |
(ii) “Trading Day” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the Principal Market, or, if the Principal Market is not the principal trading market for the Common Stock on such day, then on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded.
Section 2.4 Filing of Form 8-K. Prior to 8:30 a.m. ET on February 3, 2020, the Company shall issue a Current Report on Form 8-K, reasonably acceptable to the Holder disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and pursuant to substantially similar agreements with other Company warrant holders, which shall attach as exhibit thereto the form of this Agreement and the form of the Waiver Warrant (collectively with all exhibits and schedules, the “8-K Filing”). From and after the filing of the 8-K Filing, the Company represents to the Holder that it shall not be in possession of any material, nonpublic information received from the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents, that is not disclosed in the 8-K Filing. In addition, effective upon the filing of the 8-K Filing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents, on the one hand, and the Holder or any of its affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. The Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, not to, provide the Holder with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the date hereof without the express prior written consent of the Holder. To the extent that the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents delivers any material, nonpublic information to the Holder without the Holder’s prior written consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Holder shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents with respect to, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents not to trade on the basis of, such material, nonpublic information. The Company understands and confirms that the Holder will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

Section 2.5 Amendments. Effective as of the date hereof, Section 4(c) of each of the Existing Warrant is hereby amended and restated as follows:
“Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, at the request of the Holder delivered before the ninetieth (90th) day after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or the Successor Entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five (5) Business Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the effective date of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if such Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with such Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with such Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the Successor Entity (which Successor Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within the later of (i) five (5) Business Days of the Holder’s election and (ii) the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction.”
Section 2.6 Ratifications. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Series G-1 Certificate of Designations, the Exchange Agreement, the Existing Warrants, all other agreements between the Company and the Holder and all other securities issued by the Company to the Holder, are, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.
Section 2.7 No Short Selling. The Holder covenants and agrees that from the date hereof through and including March 31, 2020 that neither the Holder nor any of its Trading Affiliates will engage in or effect, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, any (i) “short sale” (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of the Common Stock or (ii) hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to the Common Stock. As used herein, “Trading Affiliates” means any affiliate of the Holder which (x) had or has knowledge of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (y) has or shares discretion relating to the Holder’s investments or trading or information concerning the Holder’s investments, including in respect of the Securities, or (z) is subject to the Holder’s review or input concerning such affiliate’s investments or trading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no "short sale" shall be deemed to occur or exist, as a result of any failure by the Company (or its agents) to deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion or exercise of any securities held by Holder.
