notes of the Company (the
Exchange Notes
) with an initial aggregate principal value of $1,500,000, which Exchange Notes shall be initially convertible into up to 2,205,883 shares of Common Stock upon the default by the Company,
based on a conversion price assuming conversion of the Exchange Notes on the date the Exchange Agreements were signed, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances (as converted, collectively, the
Exchange Conversion Shares
)
in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Notes; and (iii) pay $1,100,000 in aggregate cash consideration, all in exchange for warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, representing all previously outstanding warrants held by the

) (the transactions in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), collectively, the
Exchange
), issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 16, 2017,
by and among the Company and certain investors (the

outstanding. The closing of the Exchange is subject to the listing of the Exchange Common Shares and the Exchange Conversion Shares on the NASDAQ Global Market and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

all obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company as they relate to the Investors shall be terminated without further action by the Company
or the other parties thereto, and the Existing Warrants and all outstanding shares of the Companys Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share held by the Investors will be deemed satisfied.
The terms of the Exchange Agreements grant the Investors certain rights and obligations, including (i) requiring the Investors to vote

accordance with the recommendation of the Board on any other proposals, (ii) granting the Investors certain preemptive rights for subsequent offerings of the Companys securities for a period of two years from the closing of the Exchange,
subject to the terms of the Exchange Agreements, and (iii) granting the Investors most favored nation pricing protections with regard to any future exchanges of other Existing Warrants for greater aggregate consideration.
In connection with the Exchange, the Company disclosed that there are 34,746,022 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 22, 2018.
The Exchange Notes contain customary covenants regarding restrictions on liens and the incurrence of indebtedness.
The Exchange is being made, and the Exchange Notes and Exchange Common Shares are being offered and issued in reliance upon the exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof.
