2.Issuance to the Company of a total of 1,250,000 shares of Adamas common stock. 350,000 of such shares will be sold by the Company in a private sale within 20 days after Closing with a guaranteed minimum resale price for the Company of $2.00 per share, to be used to settle unsecured debt of the Company in excess of $3,000,000.

 

3.The remaining 900,000 of Adamas common stock will be held by the Company for an undetermined time, in the discretion of the Board. The shares will be subject to a Registration Rights Agreement entered into between the Company and Adamas, and subject to lockup/leakout provisions which will allow their sale over a two year period following Closing, on a graduated basis.

 

4.Assumption of certain limited liabilities of the Company.

 

This Amended Asset Purchase Agreement amends and supersedes the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into between the parties dated as of November 30, 2018, in its entirety. Consummation of the transaction is subject to satisfaction of numerous conditions, including, but not limited to, shareholder approval by the Company and other conditions. The Company will be providing additional information in connection with the shareholder meeting to be held to approve the transaction.
