As of December 1, 2015, the Investor submitted a notice to the Company to terminate the License Agreement in its entirety, and the effective date for such termination is March 4, 2016.

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, subject to the terms and conditions of the License Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Persons intend to review their holdings in the Company on a continuing basis and, depending upon the price and availability of the Company Common Stock, subsequent developments affecting the Company, the business prospects of the Company, general
