Pursuant to the Agreement (i) the holder agreed to extend the Maturity Date of the Debentures to from May 26, 2020 to September 30, 2020, (ii) the Company may now prepay each Debenture at any time, with accrued interest to the date of such payment, but no other premium or penalty, and (iii) the parties changed the definition of "Permitted Indebtedness" in the Debentures so as to permit indebtedness issued pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act or related or similar governmental programs including disaster-relief or pandemic-relief programs designed to help businesses in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic. In consideration for entering into the Agreement the Company agreed to issue to the holder a prepaid warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase up to 646,094 shares of the Company's common stock. The Warrant shall be exercisable, commencing on May 6, 2020 until exercised in full, at a price of $0.001 per share, and shall also be exercisable on a cashless basis. The holder of the Warrant will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Warrant if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or at the election of a holder prior to the date of issuance, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the "Beneficial Ownership Limitation"); provided, however, that upon 61 days' prior notice to the Company, the holder may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, but not to above 9.99%. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, certain subsequent rights offerings, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, as described in the Warrant.

The Warrant will not be listed for trading on any national securities exchange. The Warrant and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (the "Warrant Shares") are not currently registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
