Notwithstanding the obligations of the Company to pay compensation or service fees to the Payee, the Company shall have the right and option to pay and discharge its obligations for the compensation or service fees that accrue during any fiscal quarter commencing after June 30, 2015 that has not been paid by cash as provided in this Section 1 if, in the determination of the Board, the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to pay such amounts in cash when due.

 

1.2. The amount that as of the end of any fiscal quarter is due and payable and has not been paid in cash shall be paid by the Company issuing common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) at the Quarterly Value or granting incentive stock options to purchase Common Stock or, in the discretion of the Payee or if the Payee is not qualified to be granted incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options to purchase Common Stock so that the number of shares or options, valued at the Quarterly Value, is equal to the unpaid cash amount as of such fiscal quarter.

 

1.3. The initial exercise price for such options granted in accordance with Section 1.2 will be the closing price of the Common Stock as of the end of the applicable quarter, which shall be the date that any such options are granted; provided, that if such closing price is 90% or less of the closing price of the immediately prior trading date, then the initial exercise price shall be the greater of (x) the closing price as of the end of such quarter or (y) the 5 day volume weighted average closing price (“VWAP”) for the 5 trading days ending on the last trading day of such quarter.

 

1.4. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Quarterly Value” shall mean the value as of the end of the applicable quarter using the 20 day VWAP as of the end of such quarter. The value of stock options will be determined by the Company using a Black Scholes model for such 20 day VWAP with such other factors as are appropriate to accurately calculate the value of the stock options as of the end of quarter.

 

2. Payment of 2015 Arrears.
