Dear Mr. Michel:
Reference is made to that certain letter agreement dated November 25, 2020 (the Agreement) between Canaccord Genuity LLC (together with its affiliates, control persons, directors, officers, employees, and agents, CG) and Delcath Systems, Inc. (the Client), pursuant to which the Client engaged CG to act as its exclusive agent and financial advisor in connection with a registered public Offering of Securities of the Client. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this letter shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. The parties desire to amend the Agreement (this Amendment) as follows:
1. | Section 3 of the Agreement (Fees) shall be amended to add the following paragraph after the last sentence of the Section: |
In consideration of CGs entering into this Agreement, the Client hereby grants CG a right of first offer under which CG shall have the right until May 1, 2021 (a) to act as managing or lead underwriter of any public offerings of any form of security, and/or (b) to act as a financial advisor for any private placements of any form of security. As used herein, a right of first offer shall mean, prior to offering any party other than CG the right to provide the foregoing services during the period provided above, the Client shall be obligated to make an offer to CG under which CG would provide such services, which offer shall clearly identify its terms and conditions, and CG shall have thirty (30) days to accept such offer; provided that such offer shall specify that, and CG shall be entitled to, a minimum of 62% of the aggregate underwriting discounts, commissions, or other fees in connection with such offering or placement of securities. If CG does not accept such offer, then the Client shall be free to negotiate and contract with any other party with respect to such rights. Any engagement of CG to provide services arising from any such circumstances is subject to the negotiation and execution by CG and the Client of a separate letter agreement setting forth the terms and conditions with respect to CGs engagement for that transaction. However, unless specifically covered by a separate agreement setting forth such arrangement, the indemnification provisions contained in Section 9 hereof shall apply to each such engagement. The foregoing right of first offer shall not apply in the event that the Client terminates CGs engagement for Cause (as defined below) or CG terminates its engagement for any reason. For purposes of this
