NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree:

1. Definitions. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment but not otherwise defined herein are given the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

2. Amendments. The Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

| a. | Section 1.1 is hereby amended by:

| (i) | Amending and restating clause (kk) in its entirety with the following:

“(kk) “Registrable Securities” shall mean (i) the Initial Shares, Private Units (and the underlying Warrants and shares of Common Stock), $15 Exercise Price Sponsor Warrants (and the underlying shares of Common Stock), Merger Shares, shares of Common Stock underlying the Merger Warrants, shares of Common Stock underlying the Additional Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Shares, as set forth on Exhibit A to this Agreement, and (ii) any Initial Shares, Private Units (and underlying Warrants and shares of Common Stock), $15 Exercise Price Sponsor Warrants (and underlying shares of Common Stock), Merger Shares, shares of Common Stock underlying the Merger Warrants, shares of Common Stock underlying the Additional Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Shares issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to or in exchange for or in replacement of the shares referenced in (i); provided, however, that Registrable Securities shall not include any securities described in clause (i) or (ii) above which have previously been registered and sold or which have or may be sold to the public pursuant to a registration statement, Rule 144, Section 4(a)(1) under the Securities Act, or which have been sold in a private transaction in which the transferor’s rights under this Agreement are not validly assigned in accordance with this Agreement; provided further, that (x) for the avoidance of doubt, Section 4(a)(1) shall not be deemed available to any Affiliate of the Company for any purpose of this Agreement, and (y) in the event the Company enters into an underwriting agreement relating to a public offering of its common stock prior to January 31, 2017, Registrable Securities that were the subject of a lockup agreement as a result of such offering and are held by any permitted transferee of any party to this Agreement shall remain Registrable Securities for 180 days following the date such Registrable Securities would otherwise cease to be Registrable Securities as a result of such holder’s ability to sell under Rule 144 or Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act.”

b. Section 2.1(a)(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“The Company agrees that no later than January 31, 2017, it shall prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (or another form that is available to the Company if Form S-3 is not available) (the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”) covering the offer and sale of all Registrable Securities; provided however, that if the Company enters into an underwriting agreement relating to a public offering of its common stock prior to January 31, 2017, then the Company shall have until the expiration of the “lock-up” period provided in such underwriting agreement to file the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, subject to any exceptions provided therein. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing, and to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act at all times and take all such other actions as are reasonably necessary to ensure that there is an effective “shelf” registration statement containing a prospectus that remains current covering (and to qualify under required U.S. state securities laws, if any) the offer and sale of all Registrable Securities by the Holders on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act.”

2

c. Section 2.11 of the Agreement is hereby amended to insert the following sentence as the last sentence of the provision: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to pay Liquidated Damages in respect of Registrable Securities that are not included in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement as a result of the Staff having informed the Company that such securities may not, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering.”

3. Waivers. The Requisite Holders hereby irrevocably waive, on behalf of all Holders, (a) any and all claims that any Holder has or may have which relates to or arises out of the Company’s obligations under the Agreement to file one or more registration statements prior to the date of this Amendment and (b) with respect to the Proposed Offering, the application of Section 2.2 of the Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to give notice of, and to include any Registrable Securities in, the Proposed Offering.

4. Nature of Agreement; No Other Amendments. The Requisite Holders hereby acknowledge and agree that this Amendment constitutes an amendment to the Agreement in accordance with Section 3.1 thereof. Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, all other terms and provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
