Wainwright and the Company hereby mutually agree to extend the Term of the Original Letter pursuant to Section B. until April 20, 2017.

 

In addition, Paragraph A.3 shall be amended and restated in its to read as follows:

 

Expense Allowance. Out of the proceeds of the first Closing, the Company also agrees to pay Wainwright (a) a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in case of an Offering which is a public offering; (b) $10,000 for non-accountable expenses; and (c) up to $100,000 for fees and expenses of legal counsel in case of an Offering which is a public offering; plus the additional reimbursable amount payable by the Company pursuant to Paragraph D.3 hereunder; provided, however, that such reimbursement amount in no way limits or impairs the indemnification and contribution provisions of this Agreement.
