1. Management, Board Appointments and Related Agreements.

(a) Management. The Company agrees that, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, as of the Effective Time (as defined below), the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall take all necessary action to (i) cause or accept the resignation of Mr. Elghandour as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company in accordance with the Separation Agreement and (ii) appoint Mr. Grossman as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company in accordance with the Employment Agreement.

(b) Board Appointments; Board Committees; Board Chair; Board Size.

(i) The Company agrees that, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, as of the Effective Time, the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall take all necessary actions to (A) cause or accept the resignation of each of the Resigning Directors from the Board, effective immediately, (B) increase the size of the Board from eight (8) members to nine (9) members, (C) appoint Keith Grossman and Elizabeth H. Weatherman (collectively, the “New Class II Directors”) to the Board, each as a Class II director with a term expiring at the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting, (D) appoint Kevin C. O’Boyle (together with the New Class II Directors, the “New Directors,” and each, a “New Director”) to the Board as a Class III director with a term expiring at the Company’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2020 Annual Meeting”), and (E) appoint Ms. Weatherman to serve on the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Board agrees to give the New Directors the same due consideration for membership to any committee of the Board as any other member of the Board who qualifies as “independent” under the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

(ii) The Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”) agree to nominate and recommend (and not change such recommendation in a manner adverse to the New Class II Directors) that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the New Class II Directors or, in accordance with Section 1(b)(v), a Replacement Director (as defined below, and who shall be deemed to be a “New Class II Director” for purposes of this Agreement) for re-election at the 2019 Annual Meeting. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the re-election of the New Class II Directors to the Board at the 2019 Annual Meeting and otherwise support each New Class II Director for re-election at the 2019 Annual Meeting in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees.

(iii) The Company agrees that as promptly as practicable following the 2019 Annual Meeting and the re-election of Mr. Grossman as a New Class II Director, Mr. Grossman shall be appointed to serve as the Chairman of the Board.

(iv) The Board shall not, prior to the 2020 Annual Meeting, increase the size of the Board above nine (9) directors without Broadfin’s prior written consent.

(v) If any New Director (or Replacement Director) other than Mr. Grossman is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, resigns as a director, is removed as a director or ceases to serve as a director for any reason prior to the expiration of the Standstill Period (as defined below) and at such time Broadfin beneficially owns (as determined under Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) at least the lesser of (i) 2.5% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding Common Stock and (ii) 607,560 shares of Common Stock, Broadfin shall have the ability to recommend a substitute person(s) in accordance with this Section 1(b)(v) (any such replacement nominee shall be referred to as a “Replacement Director”). Any Replacement Director must (A) qualify as “independent” of the Company pursuant to NYSE listing standards, (B) have the relevant financial and business experience to be a director of the Company and (C) be reasonably acceptable to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall make its determination and recommendation regarding whether such person meets the foregoing criteria within ten (10) business days after (1) such nominee

2

as a Replacement Director has submitted to the Company a fully completed copy of the Company’s standard director & officer questionnaire and (2) representatives of the Board have conducted a customary interview of such nominee. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to conduct any interview(s) contemplated by this section as promptly as practicable, but in any case, assuming reasonable availability of the nominee, within ten (10) business days after Broadfin’s submission of such nominee. In the event the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not accept a person recommended by Broadfin as the Replacement Director (it being acknowledged that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee cannot unreasonably withhold its approval), Broadfin shall have the right to recommend an additional substitute person(s) whose appointment shall be subject to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommending such person in accordance with the procedures described above. Upon the recommendation of a Replacement Director nominee by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board shall vote on the appointment of such Replacement Director to the Board no later than ten (10) business days after the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommendation of such Replacement Director; provided, however, that if the Board does not elect such Replacement Director to the Board (it being acknowledged that the Board cannot unreasonably withhold its approval) pursuant to this Section 1(b)(v), the Parties shall continue to follow the procedures of this Section 1(b)(v) until a Replacement Director is elected to the Board. Upon a Replacement Director’s appointment to the Board, the Board and all applicable committees of the Board shall consider whether such Replacement Director has the necessary qualifications to be appointed to any applicable committee of the Board of which the replaced director was a member immediately prior to such director’s resignation or removal, and shall appoint such Replacement Director to either such committees or, if the qualifications for such committees are not met, to alternative committees of the Board. Any Replacement Director designated pursuant to this Section 1(b)(v) replacing a New Class II Director prior to the 2019 Annual Meeting shall stand for election at the 2019 Annual Meeting together with the Company’s other nominees.

(c) 2019 Annual Meeting. As of the Effective Time, Broadfin hereby (a) irrevocably withdraws the notice of stockholder nomination of individuals for election as directors at the 2019 Annual Meeting submitted to the Company on March 8, 2019, and (b) irrevocably withdraws any related materials or notices submitted to the Company in connection therewith.

(d) Additional Agreements.

(i) Each Party will cause each of its Affiliates and Associates (each as defined below) to comply with the terms of this Agreement and will be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any such Affiliate or Associate. As used in this Agreement, the terms “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall have the respective meanings set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and include all persons or entities that at any time during the term of this Agreement become Affiliates or Associates of any person or entity referred to in this Agreement.

(ii) Upon the Effective Time, except as provided herein, Broadfin will not, and will not permit any of its Associates to, directly or indirectly, (A) nominate or recommend for nomination any person for election at the 2019 Annual Meeting, (B) submit any proposal for consideration at, or bring any other business before, the 2019 Annual Meeting, or (C) initiate, encourage or participate in any “vote no,” “withhold” or similar campaign with respect to the 2019 Annual Meeting. Broadfin will not publicly or privately encourage or support any other stockholder, person or entity to take any of the actions described in this Section 1(d)(ii).

3

(iii) Broadfin will appear in person or by proxy at the 2019 Annual Meeting and will cause all shares of Common Stock that it beneficially owns as of the record date for the 2019 Annual Meeting to be voted at the 2019 Annual Meeting in favor of the election of the New Class II Directors and otherwise in accordance with the recommendations of the Board; provided, however, that in the event that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”) or Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC (“Glass Lewis”) recommends otherwise with respect to any proposals (other than the election of directors), Broadfin shall be permitted to vote in accordance with ISS’s or Glass Lewis’ recommendation; provided, further, that Broadfin shall be permitted to vote in its sole discretion with respect to any publicly announced proposals relating to a merger, acquisition, disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or other business combination involving the Company requiring a vote of stockholders of the Company.

(iv) The Parties agree that each New Director shall adhere to and act as necessary to be in compliance with all Company policies generally applicable to the Company’s independent directors, including but not limited to policies related to insider trading and securities law compliance.

2. Standstill Provisions. (a) Broadfin agrees that, from the Effective Time through the earlier of (x) the thirtieth (30th) calendar day prior to the deadline for business to be properly brought before the 2020 Annual Meeting by stockholders pursuant to Section 2.4(ii) of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws or (y) the date that is one hundred twenty (120) calendar days prior to the first anniversary of the 2019 Annual Meeting (the “Standstill Period”), neither it nor any of its Associates will, and it will cause each of its Associates not to, directly or indirectly, in any manner:

(ii) form, join or in any way participate in any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to the Common Stock (other than a “group” that is comprised of all or some of the entities and persons that are signatories hereto); provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the ability of an Affiliate of Broadfin to join a “group” with Broadfin following the Effective Time, so long as any such Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

(iii) deposit any Common Stock or other voting securities of the Company in any voting trust or subject any such securities to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of any such securities, other than any such voting trust, arrangement or agreement solely among the members of Broadfin and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement;

(iv) seek or submit, or encourage any person or entity to seek or submit, nomination(s) in furtherance of a “contested solicitation” for the appointment, election or removal of directors with respect to the Company or seek, encourage or take any other action with respect to the appointment, election or removal of any directors (except as specifically

4

permitted in Section 1); provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Broadfin or its Associates from taking actions in furtherance of identifying director candidates in connection with the 2020 Annual Meeting, so long as such actions do not create a public disclosure obligation for Broadfin or the Company, and are undertaken on a basis reasonably designed to be confidential and in accordance in all material respects with Broadfin’s normal practices;

(v) (A) make any proposal for consideration by stockholders at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company, (B) make any offer or proposal (with or without conditions) with respect to any merger, acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring, disposition or other business combination involving Broadfin or any of its Affiliates and the Company, (C) affirmatively solicit a third party, on an unsolicited basis, to make an offer or proposal (with or without conditions) with respect to any merger, acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring, disposition or other business combination involving the Company, or publicly encourage or support any third party in making such an offer or proposal, (D) publicly comment on any third party proposal regarding any merger, acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring, disposition, or other business combination with respect to the Company by such third party prior to such proposal becoming public, or (E) call or seek to call a special meeting of stockholders;

(vi) seek, alone or in concert with others, representation on the Board, except as specifically permitted in Section 1;

(vii) advise, encourage, support or knowingly influence any person or entity with respect to the voting or disposition of any securities of the Company at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, except in accordance with Section 1;

(viii) make any public proposal, alone or in concert with others, to amend any provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws;

(x) make any request or submit any proposal to amend the terms of this Agreement other than through non-public communications with the Company that would not be reasonably determined to trigger public disclosure obligations for any Party; provided that the restrictions in this Section 2(a) will terminate automatically upon the earlier of: (x) as a non-exclusive remedy for any material breach of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any breach of Section 11), upon five (5) business days’ prior written notice by Broadfin to the Company following such breach, if such breach has not been cured within such notice period; provided, further, that Broadfin is not in material breach of this Agreement at the time such notice is given; and (y) such time as the Company files with the SEC or delivers to its stockholders any preliminary proxy statement, definitive proxy statement or other proxy materials in connection with the 2019 Annual Meeting that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Except as expressly provided in Section 1 or Section 2(a), Broadfin shall be entitled to (i) vote the Company stock that it beneficially owns as Broadfin determines in its sole discretion and (ii) disclose, publicly or otherwise, how it intends to vote or act with respect to any securities of the Company, any stockholder proposal or other matter to be voted on by the stockholders of the Company and the reasons therefor (in each case, subject to Section 1(d)(iii)).

5

(c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Broadfin from (i) communicating privately with the Board or any of the Company’s officers regarding any matter, so long as such communications are not intended to, and would not reasonably be expected to, require any public disclosure of such communications, (ii) communicating with stockholders of the Company and others in a manner that does not otherwise violate Section 2(a) or Section 11, or (iii) taking any action necessary to comply with any law, rule or regulation or any action required by any governmental or regulatory authority or stock exchange that has jurisdiction over Broadfin.

It is accordingly agreed that Broadfin, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand (the “Moving Party”), shall each be entitled to seek specific enforcement of, and injunctive relief to prevent any violation of, the terms hereof, and the other Party hereto will not take action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to the Moving Party seeking such relief on the grounds that any other remedy or relief is available at law or in equity. This Section 6 is not the exclusive remedy for any violation of this Agreement.

7. Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Broadfin for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including legal costs and expenses) incurred through the Effective Time in connection with Broadfin’s involvement at the Company, Broadfin’s director nominations and the appointment of the New Directors to the Board, including, but not limited to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, provided that such reimbursement shall not exceed $150,000 in the aggregate.

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the Parties that the Parties would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such which may be hereafter declared invalid, void or unenforceable.

11. Mutual Non-Disparagement. Subject to applicable law, each Party covenants and agrees that, during the Standstill Period, neither it nor any of its Affiliates, nor any of their respective principals, members, general partners, directors (or former directors, including the Resigning Directors), officers (or former officers), employees or agents shall in any way publicly (including in any manner that could reasonably be foreseen to result in public disclosure such as statements to the press or members of the press) criticize, disparage, call into disrepute or otherwise defame or slander the other Party or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective principals, members, general partners, directors (or former directors, including the Resigning Directors), officers (or former officers), employees or agents, in any manner that would reasonably be expected to damage the business or reputation thereof; provided, however, if a Party or any of its Affiliates, principals, members, general partners, directors (or former directors, including the Resigning Directors), officers (or former officers), employees or agents shall have breached this section, then the other Party or any of its representatives may publicly respond with regards to the subject matter of such breach. The foregoing shall not restrict the ability of any person or entity to comply with any subpoena or other legal process or respond to a request for information (provided that such request is not targeted at this Agreement or the other Party hereto) from any governmental authority with competent jurisdiction over the party from whom information is sought.

12. Mutual Releases. In consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants herein contained, as of the Effective Time, each Party knowingly and voluntarily releases and forever discharges the other Party and its Affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, insurers, predecessors, successors and assigns, and each of their current and former principals, members, general partners, partners, partnerships, directors (including the Resigning Directors), officers, employees, attorneys, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Released Parties”), of and from any and all claims, known and unknown, asserted or unasserted, which any Party or its Affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, insurers, predecessors, successors or assigns, or any of their current or former principals, members, general partners, directors (including the Resigning Directors), officers, employees, attorneys, agents or representatives, has or may have against any Released Parties as of the date of this Agreement, including but not limited to (a) any claims, whether statutory, common law, or otherwise, (b) any claims for breach of contract,

No amendments or modifications of this Agreement can be made except in writing signed by an authorized representative of each the Company and Broadfin. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
