B.        The Facility Agreement provides for the issuance of Notes in 4 Tranches of $40,000,000 per Tranche. Prior to the date hereof, the Purchasers have purchased the Tranche 1 Notes, the Tranche 2 Notes, the Tranche 3 Notes and the Tranche 4 Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $40,000,000 per Tranche.

C.        The Facility Agreement also provides for the issuance of Tranche B Notes. An aggregate of $20,000,000 in principal amount of Tranche B Notes have been issued to the Purchasers.

D.        Prior to the date hereof, (i) the Purchasers have converted all of the Tranche 2 Notes and the Tranche 3 Notes into Common Stock, (ii) the Borrower has repaid, converted, exchanged and/or otherwise satisfied the Tranche B Notes and (iii) the Borrower has repaid, converted, exchanged and/or otherwise satisfied a portion of the principal amounts under the Tranche 1 Notes and the Tranche 4 Notes, leaving $5,000,000 in principal amount of the Tranche 1 Notes and $3,995,000 in principal amount of the Tranche 4 Notes outstanding.

E.        Pursuant to this Amendment, the parties hereto desire to amend the Facility Agreement to defer the $5,000,000 in principal amount of the Tranche 1 Notes (the “July 2019

8


to this Amendment or any amendment hereto is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof. No party hereto shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this Amendment or any amendment hereto or the fact that such signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract, and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.

Section 6.07.    No Third Party Beneficiaries.    Nothing in this Amendment, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than the parties to this Amendment) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Amendment.

Section 6.08.    Specific Performance. The parties to this Amendment agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties to this Amendment would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Amendment were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties to this Amendment shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Amendment and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Amendment, in each case without the necessity of posting bond or other security or showing actual damages, and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Section 6.09.    Effect of Headings.    The section and subsection headings herein are for convenience only and not part of this Amendment and shall not affect the interpretation thereof.

Section 6.10.    Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Amendment so long as this Amendment as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

Section 6.11.    Avoidance of Doubt. The parties hereto hereby agree, for the avoidance of doubt, that (a) the term “Notes” as used in the Transaction Documents shall mean the Notes, as, and to the extent, amended by this Amendment, and (b) the term “Liabilities” and “Obligations” as used in the Transaction Documents shall include all liabilities and obligations under this Amendment, under the Facility Agreement (as amended hereby) under the Notes and under the other Transaction Documents (as amended hereby), and each of the parties hereto agrees not to take any contrary positions.

Each of the Purchasers expressly reserves all such rights and remedies.

Section 6.13.    Further Assurances.  The Borrower hereby agrees, from time to time, as and when requested by any Purchaser, to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and agreements, including secretary’s certificates, stock powers and irrevocable transfer agent instructions, and to take or cause to be taken such further or other action, as any Purchaser may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to carry out the intent and purposes of this Amendment and the other Transaction Documents (as amended hereby).

Section 6.14.    No Strict Construction.    The language used in this Amendment will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.

Each Obligor hereby consents to this Amendment and the Escrow Agreement and acknowledges that each of this Amendment and the Escrow Agreement is a Transaction Document and that each of the other Transaction Documents (as amended hereby) remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and reaffirmed. Except as set forth in Article I above, neither this Amendment nor any prior amendment of any of the Transaction Documents shall be construed or deemed to be a satisfaction, novation, cure, modification, amendment or release of the Obligations, the Facility Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or establish a course of conduct with respect to future requests for amendments, modifications or consents.
