Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements regarding the current expectations of the Company about its prospects and opportunities. These forward-looking statements are covered by the “Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company has tried to identify these forward-looking statements by using words such as “expect,” “contemplate,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “forecast,” “budgeted,” “believe,” “outlook,” “guidance,” “projection,” “target” or similar expressions, but these words are not the exclusive means for identifying such statements. The Company cautions that a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation:
the final results of the Audit Committee’s independent review as it impacts the Company’s accounting, accounting policies and internal control over financial reporting; management’s ability to successfully implement the Audit Committee’s remedial recommendations; the reasons giving rise to the prior resignation of RSM US LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; the time and effort required to complete the restatement of the affected financial statements, complete its delinquent financial statements and amend or prepare the related Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings, particularly within the current anticipated timeline; the subsequent discovery of additional adjustments to the Company’s previously issued financial statements; the timing of completion of necessary re-audits, interim reviews and audits by the new independent registered public accounting firm; the timing of completion of steps to address, and the inability to address and remedy, material weaknesses; the identification of additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies; variances in non-recurring expenses; risks relating to the substantial costs and diversion of personnel’s attention and resources deployed to address the financial reporting and internal control matters and related class action litigation; the ability of the Company to accurately budget for and forecast product shipments, and the extent to which product shipments result in recorded revenues; the impact of the resignation of the Company’s former independent registered public accounting firm, RSM US LLP, on the Company’s relationship with its lender and trade creditors and the potential for defaults and exercise of creditor remedies; the impact of the previously disclosed investigation initiated by the SEC and any related or additional governmental investigative or enforcement proceedings; the impact of resignations of the Company’s directors and certain executive officers and any delays and challenges encountered in recruiting replacements for open positions and the replacements’ transitions into their positions; and any negative impacts from delisting of the Company’s common stock from Nasdaq and any delays and challenges in obtaining a re-listing on a stock exchange. Actual events or results may differ materially from the Company’s expectations. The Company’s forward-looking statements are presented as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

C.    The Term of the Lease expires on July 31, 2018 and notwithstanding the terms of Section 32.22 of the Lease, Tenant has requested and Landlord has agreed to extend the Term of the Lease for sixty (60) months and therefore the term of the Lease shall be extended for an additional sixty (60) months on the terms and conditions contained herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration to each of the parties, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Landlord and Tenant do hereby mutually consent and agree that the following provisions shall govern with respect to the rights, duties and obligations of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and the parties hereto agree as follows:

3.Extension. The Term of the Lease is hereby extended for a period commencing on August 1, 2018 and continuing through and including July 31, 2023 (“Extended Term”). Tenant agrees to accept possession of the Premises for the Extended Term in their current "as-is" condition, without any representation, credit, allowance or build-out from Landlord with respect to the condition or improvement thereof, except for the Tenant Improvements as set forth below and Landlord’s maintenance, repair and replacement obligations set for in Section 8.2 of the Lease, which shall continue for the Extended Term. For the avoidance of doubt, all terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended hereby, shall remain in full force and effect through the Extended Term, except that Monthly Base Rent payable during the Extended Term shall be Forty-Four Thousand Six Hundred Fifty-Five and 62/100 Dollars ($44,655.62) for the period from August 1, 2018 through July 31, 2019 and shall increase by three percent (3%) on August 1, 2019 and on each August 1 thereafter during the Extended Term.

In no event shall any unused Allowance funds be used by Tenant for Rent. Upon completion of any portion of the Tenant Improvements Work, if Tenant elects to perform or cause to be performed certain improvements to the Premises, Tenant shall provide paid invoices and supporting lien waiver and other documentation to Landlord for reimbursement of one-half the cost of the Tenant Improvements up to the remaining Allowance, which Landlord shall pay within thirty (30) days after receipt of request from Tenant with the invoices, waivers and supporting documentation.
5.Further Amendment. The Lease shall be deemed amended such that the following language shall be deemed added to the Lease: “Tenant shall provide Landlord data relating to utility usage and service at the Premises on an annual basis within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar year and at such other times reasonably requested by Landlord.

Tenant shall provide all relevant documents and information with respect to such matters relating to the Premises. Tenant shall not take any action to adversely affect the environmental performance of the Premises.”
6.Further Amendment. Section 28.1 of the Lease shall be amended to read that if a Notice pursuant to the Lease or this Amendment is intended for the Tenant it should be sent to the following address:

10.Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
11.Modification. This Amendment may not be modified or amended except by written agreement executed by the parties hereto.

13.Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
14.Severability. The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Amendment comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision in this Amendment is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such provision to be illegal, void or unenforceable as written, then such provision shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that the same is legal, valid and enforceable and the remainder of this Amendment shall be construed as if such provision was not contained therein.
15.Construction. The headings of this Amendment are for convenience only and shall not define or limit the provisions hereof. Where the context so requires, words used in singular shall include the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender shall include all other genders. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Lease and the terms and conditions of this Amendment, the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall prevail.
16.Third Party Beneficiaries. This Amendment shall inure to the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Nothing contained herein shall create, or be construed to create, any right in any person not a party to this Amendment.
17.Legal Review. The parties hereto acknowledge that they have been advised by legal counsel of their choice in connection with the interpretation, negotiation, drafting and effect of this Amendment and they are satisfied with such legal counsel and the advice which they have received.
