the terms and conditions set forth in that August Forbearance Agreement during the Forbearance Period (as defined in the August Forbearance Agreement).
As used herein, "Documents" means (i) the 2017 Note, (ii) that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of December 28, 2015 by and among the Company, the Holder and the other investors listed on the signature pages attached thereto (the "2015 SPA"), (iii) the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the 2015 SPA), (iv) that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of June 29, 2016 by and among the Company, the Holder and the other investors listed on the signature pages attached thereto (the "2016 SPA"), (v) the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the 2016 SPA), (vi) that certain Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2016 by and between the Company and the Holder, (vii) that certain Exchange Agreement, dated as of April 7, 2017 by and between the Company and the Holder, (viii) that certain Exchange Agreement, dated as of April 17, 2017 by and between the Company and the Holder, (ix) the August Redemption Notice, (x) the August Forbearance Agreement; (xi) the New Notes, (xii) that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of September 27, 2017 by and among the Company, the Holder and the other investors listed on the signature pages attached thereto (the "2017 SPA"), (xiii) the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the 2017 SPA), and (xiv) any other agreement, document, instrument or writing between the Company and the Holder.
On the date hereof, the Company and the Holder are entering into the New Notes, the 2017 SPA and the Transaction Documents (as defined in the 2017 SPA). This Forbearance Agreement shall also constitute an Event of Default Notice and Event of Default Redemption Notice under Section 4(b) of each New Note.

This Forbearance Agreement confirms that (i) the 2017 Note Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the 2017 Note as set forth in the August Redemption Notice and further described in the August Forbearance Agreement and (ii) the New Notes Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the New Notes as set forth in this Forbearance Agreement. The Company has requested that the Holder forbear from exercising certain of its rights and remedies and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Forbearance Agreement, the Holder is willing to forbear from exercising such rights and remedies such during the Forbearance Period (as hereinafter defined).
