Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 9, 2016, Inspyr Therapeutics, Inc. (Company) entered
into securities purchase agreements (Securities Purchase
Agreement) with certain institutional accredited investors (the
Investors). to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company
sold $1,000,000 of the Companys securities (Offering) consisting
of $850,000 in cash and the cancellation of $150,000 of
obligations. The securities consist of approximately: (i) 1,000
shares of Series B 0% Convertible Preferred Stock (Series B
Preferred Stock) with a stated value of $1,000 and which are
immediately convertible into 1,333,336 shares of the Companys
common stock, subject to certain beneficial ownership
limitations, at a conversion price equal to $0.75, subject to
adjustment (Conversion Price), and (ii) an aggregate of 4,000,008
common stock purchase warrants as described below. The Conversion
Price is subject to certain reset adjustments as more fully
described in the Certificate of Designation (as defined below),
including (a) the date of any future amendment to the Companys
certificate of incorporation with respect to a reverse stock
split, (b) the effective dates of the initial registration
statement registering the common shares underlying the Series B
Preferred Stock as required under the Registration Rights
Agreement (defined below) and (c) in certain cases, the six (6)
and twelve (12) month anniversaries of the closing of this
offering if certain registration and public information
requirements are not met. The Series B Preferred Stock also has a
liquidation preference ahead of the Companys common stock and has
anti-dilution protection until such time that the Series B
Preferred Stock is no longer outstanding.

The Investors also received an aggregate of approximately: (i)
1,333,336 Series J common stock purchase warrants (Series J
Warrants), (ii) 1,333,336 Series K common stock purchase warrants
(Series K Warrants) and (iii) 1,333,336 Series L common stock

per share, subject to adjustment, and a term of five (5) years
from the date of issuance, the Series K Warrants have an exercise
price of $0.75 per share, subject to adjustment, and a term of
six (6) months from the date of issuance and the Series L
warrants have an exercise price of $0.75, subject to adjustment,
and a term of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance. The
Warrants are immediately exercisable and separately transferable
from the Series B Preferred Stock. In the event that the shares
underlying the Warrants are not subject to a registration
statement at the time of exercise, the Warrants may be exercised
on a cashless basis after 6 months from the issuance date. The
exercise price of the Warrants is subject to certain reset
adjustments as more fully described in the form of Warrants,
including (i) the date of any future amendment to the Companys
certificate of incorporation with respect to a reverse stock
split, (ii) the effective dates of the initial registration
statement registering the common shares underlying the Warrants
as required under the Registration Rights Agreement (defined

adjustment in the underlying number of shares and exercise price
in the event of stock splits or dividends and fundamental
transactions. Additionally, the Warrants contain anti-dilution
protection until such time that the Warrants are no longer
outstanding. The closing of the Offering is anticipated to occur
on or about December 14, 2016, subject to customary closing
conditions.

In connection with the Offering, the Investors also entered in a
registration rights agreement (Registration Rights Agreement). to
the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file a

Registration Rights Agreement to register the resale of 200% of
the shares of common stock underlying the Series B Preferred
Stock and 100% of the shares of common stock underlying the
Warrants and to maintain the effectiveness thereunder. The
Company also agreed to have the registration statement declared

effective until the earlier of (i) the date after which all of
the securities to be registered thereunder have been sold, or

cash upon the occurrence of certain events, including our failure
to file and / or have the registration statement declared

a right of first refusal for a twelve (12) month period to act as
