If the Company elects to have interest accrue, such interest will not be added to the principal amount of the Note but such interest shall be subject to additional interest at the rate of 4% per annum, compounded quarterly, and shall be due and payable, upon the earliest of the conversion, exercise of the Put Right, or Company payoff of the Note. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Company elects for interest to accrue, then (i) the Company may elect to repay any such accrued and unpaid interest (and any interest thereon) in cash at any time and from time to time and (ii) the Investor may elect to have the Company repay any such accrued and unpaid interest (and any interest thereon) by delivering such number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the (x) the amount to accrued and unpaid interest (including accrued interest thereon) to be repaid, divided by (y) the last closing bid price of a share of Company Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market at the time of such election, provided, that, (i) such share price is above the Applicable Conversion Price; (ii) if any Investor is subject to the Applicable Cap, and payment will not require the Investor to exceed such Applicable Cap and (iii) such payment will not cause any Investor to violate applicable law. Upon an event of default, the base interest rate (excluding additional interest as described in the foregoing paragraph) shall be 12% per annum. |
Maturity Date | The earlier of (i) ten (10) years from the Closing Date or (ii) one-hundred and eighty (180) days after the date on which FCX-007 is approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (“FDA Approval”). |

Conversion | All unpaid principal of the Note shall be convertible, at any time and from time-to-time, at the option of each Investor into such number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the unpaid principal amount of the Note being converted divided by the greater of (x) $1.01, plus $0.12625 or (y) the last closing bid price of a share of Company common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market at the time of the Investor’s execution of a counterpart to this term sheet, plus $0.12625 (the “Applicable Conversion Price”). The Applicable Conversion Price is intended to be calculated to satisfy NASDAQ rules and regulations for the Notes and Warrants to be deemed to be issued “at the market” (i.e., not at a discount to market) on the date hereof. For purposes thereof, the Applicable Conversion Price is based on the last closing bid price of a share of Company Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market at the time of Investor’s execution of this Agreement or a counterpart hereto, plus $0.125 for every 100% of warrant coverage (or portion thereof). |
Anti-Dilution | Structural anti-dilution (i.e., stock splits, stock dividends and distributions of cash or other assets to Company stockholders). For purposes of clarity there will not be anti-dilution protection for dilutive issuances of equity securities or securities convertible into equity. |
Prepayment | The Company may not prepay the Note prior to the Maturity Date without the consent of the Investor. Upon and for a period of thirty (30) days after the consummation of a change of control, each Investor may elect to accelerate the repayment of all unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Note. |
