The SeriesA Warrants will be exercisable immediately from the date of issuance, and have an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The SeriesA Warrants will expire 5 years following the date of issuance. The SeriesA Warrants will be exercisable on a “cashless” basis in certain circumstances.

The Shares and SeriesA Warrants will be sold at a negotiated purchase price of $3.925 per Share or SeriesA Warrant for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $1.5 million, before deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.

Per the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to certain restrictions on future stock offerings, including that during the 60-day period following the closing, the Company will not issue (or enter into any agreement to issue) any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents, subject to certain exceptions.

The SeriesB Warrants will be exercisable six month following the date of issuance at an exercise price of $3.80 per share and will expire 5.5 years following the date of issuance.

The exercise price of the SeriesB Warrants and the shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the SeriesB Warrants (the “SeriesB Warrant Shares”) will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividends and splits, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, as described in the SeriesB Warrants. The SeriesB Warrants will be exercisable on a “cashless” basis in certain circumstances.
