(a)    If the Company issues any Equity Securities after the Effective Date that are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (a “Derivative Security”), then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto) issuable upon the exercise or conversion of such Derivative Securities shall be used in determining the effective price per share at which the underlying Common Stock was offered and sold in calculating the Floor Price.

11




(b)     If the terms of any Derivative Security are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms (or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Derivative Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Derivative Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the effective sale price of the underlying Common Stock for purposes of this Section 5.1 shall be readjusted to such price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Derivative Security.

Notwithstanding Section 5.1, the Purchaser shall not have the right to convert all or any portion of the Notes held by such Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.1 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion the Purchaser (together with its Affiliates and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser’s Affiliates (such Persons, collectively, the “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation

12




(as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Purchaser and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall not include the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the non-exercised portion of the Warrants beneficially owned by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or Attribution parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company in each case to the extent subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 5.3, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Purchaser that the Company is not representing to the Purchaser that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Purchaser is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. A determination as to any “group” status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 5.3, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Purchaser may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of the Purchaser, the Company shall, within one Trading Day, confirm orally and in writing to the Purchaser the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company by the Purchaser or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was last publicly reported or confirmed to the Purchaser. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall initially be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to, and immediately after giving effect to, the conversion of all or any portion of the Notes. The Purchaser, upon written notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions in this Section 5.3, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to, and immediately after giving effect to, the conversion of all or any portion of the Notes. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.
5.4    Nasdaq Conversion and Exercise Limits. Without limiting the Purchaser’s rights under Section 5.5, in no event shall the Company be required to issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants in excess of 9,939,689 shares in the aggregate, without stockholder approval of such issuances in excess of that level pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) (the “Nasdaq Issuance Limit”). The Company will seek stockholder approval of the waiver of the Nasdaq Issuance Limit (“Stockholder Approval”) at a special meeting of Stockholders, which will be held no later than three months after the Effective Date (the “2020 Special Meeting”). To the extent that the Company does not receive such stockholder approval at the initial special meeting, then the Company will, at the request of any

13




Purchaser, use reasonable best efforts to receive such approval at subsequent special or annual meetings of stockholders, which special meetings will be called at such times as may be requested by the Purchaser(s); provided that, in no event shall more than three such additional special meetings be called.
5.5    Alternate Settlement. If, at any time after the earlier of the 2020 Special Meeting or six months after the Effective Date, the Company is unable to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon an attempted exercise of the Warrants or conversion of the Notes (other than solely due to the application of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation), then in lieu of the Company’s obligation to deliver such shares of Common Stock, the Company shall instead pay an amount in cash to the Purchaser(s) on the settlement date, with such amount equal to the product of: (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is unable to deliver at the time of the attempted exercise or conversion (as applicable), multiplied by (ii) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Trading Market on the day on which such notice of conversion or exercise was delivered to the Company (the “Alternate Settlement Payment”). If applicable, the Company shall provide prompt notice (and in any event within 24 hours) of its inability to deliver the underlying shares of Common Stock and thereafter shall deliver the Alternate Settlement Payment by wire transfer within two Trading Days to an account designated by the Purchaser.
5.6    Untimely Settlement. If the Company has the ability to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon an attempted exercise of the Warrants or conversion of the Notes but nevertheless fails to issue and deliver such shares to the Purchaser (or its designee) by 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the Share Delivery Date, then a “Conversion Failure” shall be deemed to exist. In that case, the Purchaser can either: (a) elect to receive an Alternate Settlement Payment in lieu of the shares of Common Stock that gave rise to the Conversion Failure, or (b) if the Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the Common Stock that gave rise to the Conversion Failure, then the Company shall, within two Trading Days after receipt of the Purchaser’s request and in the Purchaser’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Purchaser in an amount equal to the Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Purchaser a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Purchaser in the amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (x) such number of shares of Common Stock that are the subject of the Conversion Failure multiplied by (y) the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the Conversion Notice.
5.7    Put Right in Favor of Purchaser.
(a)    If a Repurchase Event occurs, then each Purchaser may, at its option, elect to require the Company to repurchase in cash the Notes held by such Purchaser (or any portion thereof) at a repurchase price equal to 110% of the Outstanding Balance of such Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon. The Company shall provide the Purchasers with prompt

14




(and in any event within three Business Days) written notice of the occurrence of any Repurchase Event. Any such payment shall be due within three Business Days after the date that the applicable Purchaser delivers notice of such election.
(b)    If (i) an Event of Default occurs or (ii) upon a Change of Control or liquidation of the Company, each Purchaser may elect, at its option, to require the Company to repurchase in cash the Notes held by such Purchaser (or any portion thereof) at a repurchase price equal to the sum of: (x) three times sum of the Outstanding Balance of such Notes and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and (y) the Make-Whole Amount. The Company shall provide the Purchasers with prompt (and in any event within three Business Days) written notice of the occurrence of such Event of Default or Change of Control or liquidation of the Company. Any such payment shall be due within three Business Days after the date that the applicable Purchaser delivers notice of such election.

17




except where such breach, violation or default would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

To the Company’s knowledge, there are no proceedings to revoke or suspend such listing or the listing of the Shares.

The Company presented in its most recently filed annual report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on their evaluations as of the end of the period covered by such report. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

6.18    Compliance with Other Instruments. The authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the issuance and delivery of the Notes, the execution and delivery of any other Note Document and the performance of all obligations hereunder and thereunder, will not constitute or result in a breach, default or violation of: (a) any law or regulation applicable to any Loan Party, (b) any term or provision of the Company’s current certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or any comparable organization document of any Loan Party), or (c) any material agreement or instrument by which any Loan Party is bound or to which its properties or assets are subject that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(a)    Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries has valid and legal title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all property necessary or used in the ordinary conduct of its business, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, or operations of the Loan Parties taken as a whole.
(b)    Each Loan Party owns, or is licensed or otherwise has the right to use, all intellectual property necessary to conduct its business as currently conducted except for such intellectual property the failure of which to own or have a license or other right to use would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, or operations of the Loan Parties taken as a whole.

(c)    The property of each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries is subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens.

6.22    Disclosure; Remedies.

Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from each such Guarantor, and that each such Guarantor shall remain bound under this Section 11 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.
(b)    Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any Event of Default under this Agreement or the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Purchaser or the Designated Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Agreement, the Note Documents or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any Purchaser or the Designated Agent for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of

32




them; (v) the failure of any Purchaser or the Designated Agent to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of such Guarantor.
(c)    Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Purchaser or the Designated Agent to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(d)    Except as expressly set forth in this Section 11, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise (other than the defense of payment in full of the Secured Obligations, other than unasserted contingent obligations). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Purchaser or the Designated Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, the Note Documents or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.
(e)    Except as otherwise provided herein, each Guarantor agrees that its guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations, other than unasserted contingent obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Purchaser or the Designated Agent upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.
(f)    In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Purchaser or the Designated Agent has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Designated Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Purchasers or the Designated Agent an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations required under the Note Documents (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Company to the Purchasers and the Designated Agent required under the Note Documents.

33




(g)    Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Purchasers in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations, other than unasserted contingent obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Purchasers and the Designated Agent, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 9 for the purposes of any guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Section 9 of this Agreement, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 11.1.
(h)    Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable documented attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by the Designated Agent or any Purchaser in enforcing any rights under this Section 11.1.
(i)    Upon request of the Designated Agent, each Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Agreement.
11.2    Limitation on Liability. Any term or provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Agreement, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
12.    MISCELLANEOUS.
12.1    Participation in Future Offerings.
(a)    From the Initial Closing Date through the date on which the Company achieves the Funding Threshold, the Company shall not issue, sell or exchange, agree or obligate itself to issue, sell or exchange, or reserve or set aside for issuance, sale or exchange, in any Equity Financing any Equity Securities, unless in each case the Company shall have first offered to the Purchasers the right to purchase (in the aggregate) at least 20% of such securities, including any overallotment options (collectively, the “Offered Securities”). Each Purchaser shall have the right to subscribe for a portion of the Offered Securities in any such offering (a “Subsequent Financing”) equal to the portion of the Notes purchased at the Initial Closing relative to the aggregate value of the Notes issued at the Initial Closing, with such purchase at a price and on such other terms as will be offered to third parties. In the event the Subsequent Financing is an underwritten offering, the Company shall instruct its underwriter or placement agent for such offering to contact each Purchaser promptly following the first public announcement of such offering and thereafter use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Purchaser is provided a full allocation of securities in such offering.

34




(b)     In furtherance of the purchase right in Subsequent Financings as set forth in Section 12.1(a), at least 10 Business Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to the Purchasers a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask each Purchaser if it wishes to review the details of such financing in order to confirm whether such Purchaser wishes to participate in such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”). Upon the request of a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one Business Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to the Purchaser. By receipt of such Subsequent financing Notice, the requesting Purchaser shall be deemed to have acknowledged that the Subsequent Financing Notice may contain material non-public information. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the person or persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto as an attachment.
(c)    If a Purchaser wishes to participate in such Subsequent Financing, such Purchaser must provide written notice to the Company by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day after the Purchaser has received the Subsequent Financing Notice that the Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of the Purchaser’s participation, and representing and warranting that the Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Company receives no such notice from the Purchaser as of such fifth Business Day, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate and the Company may effect the Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.
(d)    If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day after the Purchaser has received the Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company has received written notification by the Purchaser of its willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause its designees to participate), then the Company shall effect the Subsequent Financing with the Purchaser (in the amount indicated in its notification up to the Participation Maximum) and, with respect to the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.
(e)    The Company must provide the Purchaser with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchaser will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 12.1, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is amended in any material respect or is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within 30 Business Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.1 and unless otherwise agreed to by the Purchaser, the Company shall either confirm in writing to the Purchaser that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or

35




shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case, in such a manner such that the Purchaser will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the 30th Business Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by such 30th Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by the Purchaser, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the Purchaser shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
12.2    Disclosure; Publicity. Prior to public disclosure of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein (including in any Current Report on Form 8-K and any proxy statement), the Company shall provide the Purchasers with such draft disclosure and provide the Purchasers an opportunity to review and comment on such disclosure, which comments the Company will incorporate where reasonably requested. The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers, use in advertising, publicity, marketing communications regarding any Company financing (whether oral or written) or other external communication or filing, the “Baker Brothers” name or, to its knowledge, the name of any partner or employee thereof, nor any trade name, trademark, trade device, service mark, symbol or any abbreviation, or contraction thereof owned by the Purchasers, except that the Company may make any such disclosure if, upon the advice of counsel, there is no alternative to such disclosure because it is required by applicable law or regulation and the Purchasers are notified in advance and given reasonable opportunity to minimize such disclosure. In addition, the Company may respond to inquiries about any public disclosure that was required by law or regulation, by confirming the accuracy of such disclosure.
12.3    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to provisions regarding choice of laws. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the Company, the Designated Agent and the Purchasers irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to any of the Note Documents or the actions of the Designated Agent or any Purchaser in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof.
12.4    Successors and Assigns.
(a)    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

36




Without the prior written consent of the Requisite Purchasers, the Company may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, any Note, any Intellectual Property Security Agreement or any other Note Document, and any such purported assignment shall be void. Each Purchaser, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld), may assign or grant a participation in its Note or its rights and obligations hereunder or under any Note; provided, that (i) no such consent shall be required in connection with any assignment to another Purchaser, an Affiliate of a Purchaser or any stockholder of the Company, (ii) with respect to any assignment, such Purchaser or any registered assign, as applicable, shall provide to the Company the relevant documentation effecting the assignment and, for the avoidance of doubt, no such assignment shall be effective until recorded in the Register in accordance with Section 12.4(b), (iii) any assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Note Document, as applicable, and (iv) with respect to any grant of a participation right, the Purchaser or registered assign that grants such participation right shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of the participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the participant’s interest in the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser or Designated Agent, as the case may be, may not assign the rights set forth in Sections 2.3(b), 8.1(k) and 12.1 of this Agreement.
(b)    The Company shall maintain a copy of the assignment documentation provided to it by any Purchaser (or any registered assign) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Note owing to each Purchaser (or any registered assign) pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Company and each Purchaser (and registered assign) shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Purchaser (or registered assign) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
12.5    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants, the other Note Documents and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and thereto (all of which are hereby expressly incorporated herein by this reference) (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof.
12.6    Certain Adjustments. All share and per-share values set forth in the Transaction Documents shall be automatically adjusted to reflect any stock splits, reverse stock splits or similar recapitalization events affecting such securities that occur after the Effective Date. By way of example only, if the Company effects a two-for-one split of the Common Stock after the Effective Date and, prior to that event, a Purchaser held a Warrant to purchase 100 shares of Common Stock at a price of $5.00 per share, then the Warrant shall be adjusted to represent the right to purchase 200 shares of Common Stock at a price of $2.50 per share.

37




12.7    Notices. All notices, requests, waivers and other communications made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered, given and received when delivered (by hand, by registered mail, by courier or express delivery service, by e-mail or by facsimile) to the address, e-mail address or facsimile telephone number set forth beneath the name of such party on its signature page to this Agreement (or to such other address, e-mail address or facsimile telephone number as such party will have specified in a written notice given to the other parties hereto). Notice shall be deemed given when sent electronically (via email or facsimile), provided that a confirming copy of such notice shall be sent in print form, unless the sender receives an acknowledgement of receipt of the electronic notice (e.g., reply email). In the even that notice is given to the Company, a courtesy copy, which shall not constitute notice, shall also be provided to Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., 3580 Carmel Mountain Road, Suite 300, San Diego, California, Attention: Adam C. Lenain.
12.8    Amendments and Termination. Any term of this Agreement and any other Note Document or Warrant may be amended only with the written consent of the Company, the Designated Agent and the Requisite Purchasers. However, no amendment may, without the consent of all affected Purchasers (a) reduce the percentage of Purchasers required to take or approve any action hereunder or thereunder; (b) reduce the amount or change the time of payment of any amount owing or payable with respect to any Note or change the rate of interest or the manner of calculation of interest payable with respect to any Note; (c) release the securities interest granted in respect of all or substantially all of the Collateral for the Notes, or modify the manner of payment or the order of priorities in which payments or distributions hereunder will be made as between the Purchasers and the Company or as among the Purchasers; (d) alter or modify in any respect, or waive, the provisions with respect to the conversion or redemption of the Notes; or (e) consent to any assignment of the Company’s rights under the Note Documents. The Collateral Documents shall terminate automatically upon the conversion of the Notes in full pursuant to the terms hereof or when the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been paid in full.
12.9    Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and clauses of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.
12.10    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Delivery by facsimile or e-mail of an executed counterpart of a signature page shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart.
12.11    Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
12.12    Expenses. The Company agrees to reimburse the Designated Agent on demand for the reasonable costs and expenses of one counsel for the Designated Agent actually incurred in connection with (i) the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of, or any consent or waiver under, the Note Documents; and (ii) the enforcement of the Note Documents, whether in any action, suit or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or

38




other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally (including the reasonable documented fees and expenses of counsel for the Designated Agent and each Purchaser with respect thereto).
12.13    Agent. Each of the Purchasers hereby irrevocably appoints the Designated Agent as its agent, and the Designated Agent accepts such appointment, and each of the Purchasers authorizes the Designated Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Designated Agent by the terms of the Note Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Designated Agent is hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Purchasers with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Note Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Designated Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority (to the exclusion of the Purchasers), and is hereby authorized by the Purchasers as provided in this Agreement and the other Note Documents or as directed in writing by the Requisite Purchasers, to take and exercise all actions in connection with the Collateral and any other exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder. None of the Designated Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Note Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Purchaser for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or Affiliate of any Loan Party, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Note Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Designated Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Note Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Note Document (or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Note Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Designated Agent shall not be under any obligation to the Purchasers to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Note Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or Affiliate of any Loan Party.
12.14    Allocation of Payments. The Purchasers acknowledge that the Notes are pari passu obligations against each of the other Notes. Each payment of interest or principal on the Notes shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid balances of principal outstanding thereunder. If any Purchaser shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest under any of his, her or its Notes or other obligations hereunder in an amount in excess of his, her or its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then such Purchaser shall forthwith pay such excess to the Designated Agent which amount the Designated Agent shall thereupon pay to the Purchasers on a pro rata basis.

39




12.15    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Note Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Note Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Purchaser shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Notes or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Purchasers exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the obligations hereunder.
12.16    Certain Tax Matters. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company under the Notes or this Agreement shall be made without deduction or withholding for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings or assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any governmental authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto (“Taxes”), except as required by applicable law. If the Company is required by applicable law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any such payment, then the Company shall withhold or deduct such Taxes, the Company shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law, and the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after deduction or withholding has been made for any such Tax (other than any such Tax that is an income Tax), including such deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 12.16, the applicable recipient receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the increase of the sum payable described in the immediately preceding sentence shall not be required with respect to payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company under the Notes or this Agreement for Taxes withheld or deducted from such payments (A) to the extent such Taxes result from the failure of the applicable recipient to provide to the Company (i) a valid properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (if such recipient is a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or (ii) a valid properly executed appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (if such recipient is not a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes) establishing a complete exemption from U.S. federal tax withholding to the extent it is legally entitled to do so or (B) in the case of a Purchaser (or registered assign) that is not a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to the extent such Taxes are U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such person with respect to an applicable interest in a Note pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (i) such person acquires such interest in the Note or (ii) such person changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such person’s assignor immediately before such person became a party hereto or to such person immediately before it changed its lending office. The Company agrees to pay any and all stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes that arise in respect of this Agreement or the Note.
