Mateon Therapeutics
Attn: Matthew M. Loar, Chief Financial Officer
Dear Matt:
The purpose of this letter agreement (this Engagement Letter or the Agreement) is to set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Divine Capital Markets LLC (Divine or the Placement Agent), shall serve as the Placement Agent; in that capacity Divine shall introduce Mateon Therapeutics, Inc. (the Company) to one or more investors (each an Introduced Investor) in connection with the proposed $3 to $4 million offering (the Placement or Offering) of securities (Securities) of the Company on a best efforts basis, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
The terms of an Offering and the Securities issued in such Offering shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the purchasers in such Offering (each, a Purchaser and collectively, the Purchasers) and nothing herein enables Divine to bind the Company or any Purchaser; further, the terms and conditions of an Offering and the Securities issued in such Offering shall be subject to approval by the Companys Board of Directors. This Agreement and the documents executed and delivered by the Company and the Purchasers in connection with the Placement shall be collectively referred to herein as the Transaction Documents. The materials utilized to offer the Securities shall be referred to as the Offering Materials. The date of each of the closings of an Offering shall be referred to herein as the Closing Date. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agents obligations hereunder are on a reasonable best efforts basis only and that the execution of this Agreement does not constitute a commitment by Divine to purchase or to sell the Securities and does not ensure the successful placement of the Securities or any portion thereof. The identities of the Introduced Investors shall be proprietary information of Divine and shall not be divulged to third parties by the Company, nor used by the Company outside the scope of the Placement Agents engagement as described herein, other than as required by applicable law and to register their shares with the SEC; provided, however, that nothing in the preceding sentence shall prohibit the Company from communicating with any Purchaser with respect to their investment in the Company.
The subscription proceeds for any Securities sold in the Offering will be deposited in a non-interest bearing escrow account established by the Company and Divine at U.S. Bank, or another mutually acceptable federally chartered bank, in accordance with the requirements of Rule 15c2-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and the interpretations relating thereto issued by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Upon Closing of the Offering, the proceeds will be released upon the joint authorization and direction of the Company and the Placement Agent; notwithstanding the foregoing, Divine will authorize, at the direction of the Company, the release of any and all proceeds attributable to investors who are not

(B) Warrants. As additional compensation for the Services to be provided by Divine in connection with the Offering, at the relevant Escrow Closing the Company shall issue to Divine or its designees warrants (the Divine Warrants) to purchase that number of Securities equal to ten percent (10.0%) of the aggregate number of Securities sold to Introduced Investors in the relevant Closing; in determining the number of Securities for purposes of issuing Divine Warrants, Securities shall take into consideration securities underlying any convertible Securities issued in the Offering for which the Company receives cash proceeds on the Closing Date. Divine Warrants shall have an exercise price equal to 100% of the price at which Securities are issued to Investors, and an exercise period of five years. The Divine Warrants shall be issued to Divine contemporaneously with an Escrow Closing and shall contain customary terms, including, without limitation, provisions for cashless exercise, anti-dilution protections in the event of stock splits and similar events, and registration rights consistent with the registration rights granted to the investors in the Offering.
(C) Non-Accountable Expense. Upon each closing, the Company also shall pay to Divine a Non-Accountable expense reimbursement equal to three percent (3.0%) of the aggregate gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of its securities to Introduced Investors.
(D) Divine shall take any and all steps necessary to ensure that its compensation to be paid for services hereunder complies with any applicable rules and regulations of FINRA.

APPENDIX A INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS
(A) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Divine and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, advisers and consultants, and any persons controlling Divine or any of its affiliates within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Divine and each such other person or entity being referred to herein as an Indemnified Person), from and against all claims, liabilities, losses or damages (or actions in respect thereof) or other expenses which (A) are related to or arise out of (i) actions taken or omitted to be taken (including any untrue statements made or any statements omitted to be made) by the Company or its respective affiliates or (ii) actions taken or omitted to be taken by an Indemnified Person with the consent or in conformity with the actions or omissions of the Company or their respective affiliates or (iii) any investigation, litigation, or inquiry by a regulatory or self-regulatory agency or authority involving the Company or any transaction arising under any agreements between the Company and Divine or (B) are otherwise related to or arise out of the Placement Agents activities on behalf of the Company or its respective affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or (C) in any way involving or alleged to involve the Company, the Offering or the Securities. The Company will not be responsible, however, for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses pursuant to clause (B) of the preceding sentence which are resulted from such Indemnified Persons violation of law, gross negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, the Company agrees to advance (and in the absence of advancement required hereunder) to promptly reimburse each Indemnified Person for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) as they are incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, preparing, conducting or defending any such action or claim, whether or not in connection with litigation in which any Indemnified Person is a named party, or in connection with enforcing the rights of such Indemnified Person under this Agreement.
(B) Promptly after receipt by Divine of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which Divine is entitled to indemnity hereunder, Divine will notify the Company in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action or proceeding, and the Company will assume the defense of such action or proceeding and will employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to Divine and will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Divine will be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel for the Company and from any other party in such action if counsel for Divine determines that to do so would be in the best interests of the Placement Agent. In such event, the reasonable fees and disbursements of no more than one such separate counsel will be paid by the Company. The Company will have the exclusive right to settle the claim or proceeding at its sole expense provided (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any liabilities arising out of such action and does not include any findings of fact or admissions of culpability as to the Indemnified Party and (ii) the parties agree that the terms of such Settlement shall remain confidential.
(C) The Company agrees to notify Divine promptly of the assertion against it or any other person of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding relating to a transaction contemplated by this engagement letter.

(D) If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to Divine or insufficient to hold Divine harmless, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by Divine as a result of such tosses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Placement Agent on the other, but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and Divine on the other that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The amounts paid or payable by a party in respect of losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees and expenses incurred in defending any litigation, proceeding or other action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, the Placement Agents share of the liability hereunder shall not be in excess of the amount of fees actually received, or to be received, by such Placement Agent under this engagement letter (excluding any amounts received as reimbursement of expenses incurred by such Placement Agent).
(E) These indemnification provisions shall remain in full force and effect whether or not the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is completed and shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have to any indemnified party under this engagement letter or otherwise.
