is in violation of any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended; or (iv) made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other similar payment to any person with respect to Company matters.
3.22 Engagement Letter Commissions. In connection with its private placement of
units of Company Common Stock and warrants in 2001, the Company entered into a letter agreement dated April 10, 2001 (the “2001 Letter Agreement”) with a financial advisor (the “2001 Advisor”). The 2001 Advisor assisted the
Company in its 2001 private placement of units and received a commission in connection with the 2001 offering, and the 2001 Advisor continues to provide certain services to the Company in connection with the development of potential strategic
alliances.
On July 15, 2002, the Company retained another financial advisor (the “July 2002 Advisor”)
as its financial advisor in connection with the current proposed offer and sale of shares of Company common stock and warrants to purchase shares of Company Common Stock The letter agreement with the July 2002 Advisor (the “July 2002 Letter
Agreement”) provides for the payment of fees to the July 2002 Advisor equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the offering. In addition to the cash fee, the July 2002 Advisor will receive warrants to purchase a number of shares of Company Common
Stock equal to 10% of the number of shares sold in the offering.
Annex I-8
Shortly before August 5, 2002, the 2001 Advisor communicated to the Company that
it believes that it is entitled under the 2001 Letter Agreement to fees and warrants in connection with the private placement of 6,982,877 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,094,856 shares of Common Stock that the
Company consummated in August, 2002 (the “August Private Placement”). The Company strongly disagrees with the 2001 Advisor’s interpretation of the 2001 Letter Agreement. However, even if the 2001 Advisor’s interpretation is
correct, the Company believes that the 2001 Advisor waived any rights to compensation in connection with the August Private Placement. The Company sent to the 2001 Advisor on August 21, 2002 a termination letter relating to the 2001 Letter Agreement
(the “2001 Advisor Termination Letter”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2001 Letter Agreement, the Company’s obligations to pay the 2001 Advisor a commission or to issue them warrants in connection with sales of the Company’s
securities terminates thirty (30) days from the date of the 2001 Advisor Termination Letter, or September 20, 2002. On August 29, 2002, the 2001 Advisor sent to the Company an invoice for cash commissions and warrants that the 2001 Advisor claims
are owed to it pursuant to the 2001 Letter Agreement as a result of the August Private Placement. On September 10, 2002, the Company sent a letter to the 2001 Advisor to express its position that no fees or warrants are due to the 2001 Advisor in
connection with the August Private Placement. On each of September 26, and October 9, 2002, the Company received a letter from legal counsel to the 2001 Advisor reasserting the 2001 Advisor’s claim that it must receive commissions and warrants
in connection with the August Private Placement.
In the event the 2001 Advisor prevails on this claim, the
Company would be required to pay to the 2001 Advisor $381,570, or 7.5% of the gross proceeds of the August Private Placement and issue warrants to the 2001 Advisor to purchase up to 698,287 shares of Common Stock, or 10% of the number of shares sold
in the August Private Placement. In the event warrants issued in the August Private Placement are exercised, the Company also would be required to pay an additional cash amount equal to 7% of the exercise price of the warrants issued in the August
Private Placement. Any payments to the 2001 Advisor or warrants issued to the 2001 Advisor would be in addition to placement fees and warrants payable to the July 2002 Advisor. As a result of the 2001 Advisor Termination Letter sent to the
2001 Advisor, the Company will not be required to pay a cash placement fee to the 2001 Advisor or issue warrants to the 2001 Advisor in connection with this offering. Pursuant to the terms of the 2001 Advisor Termination Letter, the Company left
open the possibility that the Company may allow the 2001 Advisor to assist us with this offering, and any warrants issued to them and cash commissions paid to them will be similar to the commissions described in the July 2002 Letter Agreement.
On November 13, 2002, the Company retained another financial advisor (the “November 2002 Advisor”) as
finder in connection with a current proposed offer and sale of shares of Company common stock and warrants to purchase shares of Company common stock. The letter agreement with the November 2002 Advisor provides for, among other things, the payment
of fees to the November 2002 Advisor equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds of the offering, including any proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants. In addition to the cash fee, the November 2002 Advisor will be entitled to receive warrants to
purchase a number of shares equal to 10% of the number of shares sold in the offering and a break-up fee of $100,000 for financings or transactions undertaken without the November 2002 Advisor’s assistance.
Annex I-9
On December 9, 2002, the Company retained another financial advisor (the
“December 2002 Advisor”) as finder in connection with the current proposed offer and sale of shares of Company common stock and warrants to purchase shares of Company common stock. The letter agreement with the December 2002 Advisor
provides for, among other things, the payment of fees to the December 2002 Advisor equal to 8% of the gross proceeds of the offering, including any proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants. In addition to the cash fee, the December 2002 Advisor
will receive warrants to purchase a number of shares equal to 7.5% of the number of shares sold in the offering.
On December 28, 2002, the Company retained a financial advisor and finder (the “December 2002 Finder”) in connection with the current proposed offer and sale of shares of Company common stock and warrants to purchase shares
of Company common stock. The letter agreement with the December 2002 Finder (the “December 2002 Finder Letter Agreement”) provides for the payment of fees to the December 2002 Finder equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds of the offering,
including any proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants. In addition to the cash fee, The December 2002 Finder will receive warrants to purchase a number of shares equal to 10% of the number of shares sold in the offering.
The Company has previously and may in the future enter into further agreements with financial advisors in addition to The December 2002
Finder, including those set forth above and in Section 5.8 (the “Additional Agents”) in connection with this offering or subsequent placements. There is the possibility that the Company might agree to pay to the Additional Agents a
commission on any sales of securities to investors introduced to us by such Additional Agent or a commission based upon the exercise price of any warrants exercised by investors introduced to us by such Additional Agents, and that such commissions
will be in addition to commissions paid to the December 2002 Finder and the July 2002 Advisor. In addition, the Company may agree to issue to the Additional Agents warrants to purchase shares of our common stock based upon the number of shares sold
to investors in the offering. In addition, the Company may be obligated to pay termination or break-up fees to the Additional Agents in connection with this offering or subsequent placements. Any commissions paid or warrants issued to the Additional
Agents would be in addition to the commissions payable or warrants issuable to the December 2002 Finder and the July 2002 Advisor.
4. Covenants of the Company
4.1
Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling
the Company to issue the Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.
4.2
Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Market, and as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing to list

the Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Investors to cause the Initial Shares and Warrant

Shares to be listed on such market as promptly as possible. The Company will take all action reasonably
necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the Nasdaq Market (including, without limitation, maintaining sufficient net tangible assets) and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other
obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Nasdaq Market and shall provide Investors with copies of any correspondence to or from the Nasdaq Market which questions or threatens delisting of the Common Stock, within ten (10) trading days of the
Company’s receipt thereof, until the Investors have disposed of all of their Registrable Securities (as defined in Annex I).
4.3 Exchange Act Registration. The Company will cause its Common Stock to continue to be registered under Section 12(b) or (g) of the Exchange Act, will use its best efforts to comply in all
respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act, and will not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the Exchange Act or the rules thereunder) to terminate or suspend such registration or to
terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under said Act until the Investors have disposed of all of their Registrable Securities (as defined in Annex I).
4.4 Corporate Existence; Conflicting Agreements. The Company will take all steps necessary to preserve and continue the corporate
existence of the Company. The Company shall not enter into any agreement, the terms of which agreement would restrict or impair the right or ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other agreements
attached as exhibits hereto.
4.5 Securities Filings. The Company shall
make any necessary SEC and “blue sky” filings required to be made by the Company in connection with the sale of the Securities to the Investors as required by all applicable laws.

and the Warrants to the Purchaser within seven (7) business days of the Closing.
4.7
Delisting Penalty. If at any time during the two (2) year period following the Effective Time the common stock of the Company is delisted from the Nasdaq National SmallCap Market for any reason, as liquidated damages for such
failure not as a penalty the Purchaser shall receive an amount in cash equal to 1.5% of the aggregate purchase price of all Shares and Warrants purchased hereunder for each month or portion thereof from the date of such delisting until such time as
the Company’s common stock is again listed on the Nasdaq National SmallCap Market; provided, however, payment of such liquidated damages shall not relieve the Company from its obligations pursuant to Section 4.2 above. Payment of such
liquidated damages shall be made within three (3) calendar days of demand in cash. If the Company does not remit the payment to the Purchaser as set forth above, the Company will pay the Purchaser’s reasonable costs of collection, including
attorneys fees, in addition to the liquidated damages. Except with respect to losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the common stock of the Company being delisted from the Nasdaq National SmallCap Market for which this
Section 4.7 shall be the exclusive remedy, the liquidated damages paid pursuant to this provision shall not affect or limit the Purchaser’s other rights and remedies as set forth in this Agreement or provided for by law
Annex I-11
5. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser;
Access to Information; Independent Investigation. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
5.1 Investment Intent. The Purchaser is purchasing the Common Stock and Warrants for investment for its own account only, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for
resale in connection with, any “distribution” of any part thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. The Purchaser
does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant any participation to such person or to any third person with respect to any of the Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Securities
have not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state securities law in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s
investment intent as expressed herein. The Purchaser further understands that neither the Company nor any of its officers or directors has any obligation to register the Securities under any federal or state securities act or law, except as
otherwise expressly set forth in Section 5 hereof.
5.2 Investment
Experience. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of the SEC, promulgated under the Securities Act, and, if not an individual, was not organized for the specific purpose of acquiring the
Securities. The Purchaser had access to the SEC Documents and has carefully reviewed the information contained therein, including, but not limited to, the section entitled “Factors Affecting Future Results.” The Purchaser is aware of the
Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. The Purchaser has such business and financial experience as
is required to give it the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of the Securities.
5.3 Authorization. The Purchaser has full right, power and authority to enter into this Purchase Agreement and perform its obligations thereunder. This Purchase Agreement has been duly and
validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Purchaser and, assuming due execution and delivery by the Company, is a valid and binding agreement of the Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforceability
to general principles of equity and to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Purchase Agreement and
compliance herewith and therewith will not result in any violation of and will not conflict with, or result in a breach of any of the terms of, or constitute a default under, any provision of any mortgage, indenture, agreement, instrument, judgment,
decree, order, law, rule or regulation or other restriction to which Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound, which violation, conflict, breach or default would have a material adverse effect upon the business or operations of the Purchaser, or
result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or assets of the Purchaser.
5.4 Compliance with Securities Laws and Regulations. All subsequent offers and sales of the Securities by the Purchaser shall be made pursuant to registration under the
Annex I-12
Securities Act and qualification under the applicable state securities laws or pursuant to exemptions
from registration and qualification as well as compliance with the provisions of Section 5.1 below.
5.5 Reliance by Company. The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration and qualification
requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings
of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire the Securities.
5.6 No Government Approval. The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed
on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.
5.7 No Legal, Tax or
Investment Advice. The Purchaser understands that nothing in the Purchase Agreement or any other materials presented to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment
advice. The Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Securities.
5.8 Access to Information. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to ask questions, to receive answers
concerning (i) the Company, (ii) the terms and conditions of the Offering from the Company and to obtain any additional information from the Company that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense regarding this
Offering, including, without limitation, information relating to the engagement of The December 2002 Finder as placement agent for the Offering pursuant to that certain fee engagement letter agreement, dated December 28, 2002, as amended, which sets
forth the cash fees, warrants, and other arrangements in connection with the Offering, (iii) the terms and conditions of the engagement of the July 2002 Advisor by the Company pursuant to that certain fee engagement letter agreement dated July 15,
2002, as amended, which sets forth the cash fees, warrant and other arrangements in connection with certain placements, (iv) the terms and conditions of the engagement of the November 2002 Advisor by the Company pursuant to that certain fee
engagement letter agreement dated November 13, 2002, as amended, which sets forth the cash fees, warrant and other arrangements in connection with certain placements, and (v) the terms and conditions of the engagement of the December 2002 Advisor by
the Company pursuant to that certain fee engagement letter agreement dated December 9, 2002, as amended, which sets forth the cash fees, warrant and other arrangements in connection with certain placements. In addition, the Purchaser acknowledges
that the Company has not made any representations or warranties other than as specifically set forth herein.
5.9 Accredited Investor. Purchaser makes the additional representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit 4.9 attached hereto.
5.10 Risk and Suitability. The Purchaser acknowledges and realizes that Purchaser’s purchase of the Securities involves a
high degree of risk and the Purchaser could
Annex I-13
lose a substantial portion or all of its investment in the Securities. In addition, the Purchaser has
such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, including without limitation, investment in technology and biotechnology companies, as will enable the Purchaser to fend for itself, bear the economic risk of its investment and
evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and to make an informed investment decision. The Purchaser understands that the Company anticipates, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions relating to its operations, that
the proceeds of this Offering will provide sufficient working capital to meet the Company’s needs in the near term. In the event that the Company’s plans change or its assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate, the Company would be
required to seek additional financing sooner than anticipated. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve cash flow from operations sufficient to satisfy its working capital requirements, or at all, or that additional financing will be
available to the Company on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
5.11 Restricted
Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Securities it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction
not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Purchaser represents that
it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
5.12 Legal Proceedings. There are no material legal proceedings to which Purchaser is a party or of which property of Purchaser
is the subject and, to the Purchaser’s knowledge, no such proceedings are contemplated by governmental authorities or others.
5.13 Possible Nasdaq Delisting. The Purchaser acknowledges and realizes that on October 28, 2002, the Company received notification from the NASD that its common stock had closed
below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq. The Purchaser acknowledges and realizes that in its notification, the NASD informed the Company that the Company has 180 calendar days, or until April 28, 2003, to
comply with NASD Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4). In order to comply with this rule, the bid price of the Company’s common stock must close at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days at any time before April 28, 2003.
The Purchaser acknowledges and realizes that if the Company does not comply with this rule prior to April 28, 2003, the NASD will determine whether it meets one of the initial listing criteria for the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under NASD Marketplace
Rule 4310(c)(2)(A).
The Purchaser acknowledges and realizes that to meet the initial listing criteria under NASD
Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(A), the Company must have (i) stockholder’s equity of at least $5 million, (ii) a market capitalization of listed securities of at least $50 million or (iii) net income of at least $750,000 (excluding extraordinary
or non-recurring items) in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years. If the Company meets any one of these requirements, the Company can then request from the NASD an additional 180
calendar day grace period to demonstrate compliance. The Purchaser acknowledges and realizes that if the Company does not meet any of the initial listing criteria (or
Annex I-14
if the Company meets the criteria and the NASD does not grant our request for an extension), then the
NASD may notify the Company that its securities will be delisted. In the event that the Company is notified by the Nasdaq that it intends to delist the Company, the Company will be able to appeal this determination to a Listing Qualifications Panel.
If the Company is delisted from Nasdaq, Purchaser acknowledges and realizes that its Common Stock would be
considered a xxxxx stock under regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and would therefore be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell its securities. The Purchaser acknowledges and
realizes that the additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in the Company’s Common Stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the common
stock and the Purchasers’ ability to sell our securities in the secondary market. The Purchaser acknowledges and realizes that the Company cannot assure Purchaser that it will be able to maintain its listing on the Nasdaq.
5.14 Acknowledgment of Rights Agreement. Purchaser is aware of the contents of the
May 20, 2002 Rights Agreement between the Company and American Stock and Transfer Trust Company as set forth in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed May 22, 2002 (the “Rights Agreement”). Purchaser shall not, absent
the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, either alone or with a group of affiliated or associated Persons, acquire or obtain the right to acquire beneficial ownership of securities of the Company (including warrants) having 15% of more
of the voting power of all outstanding voting securities of the Company.
5.15
Finder’s Role. The Purchaser is aware that the December 2002 Finder is not acting as an agent or representative of any Purchaser in connection with this offering or future offerings by the Company. The Purchaser is also aware
that is contemplated that a principal or affiliate of the December 2002 Finder will be an Purchaser hereunder. The Purchaser is also aware that the December 2002 Finder may serve as a financial advisor to the Company in connection with potential
mergers and acquisitions transactions on terms and conditions to be negotiated.
6.
Survival; Indemnification
6.1 Survival. The representations and
warranties made by each of the Company and each Investor in this Agreement, the exhibits hereto and in each instrument, agreement and certificate entered into and delivered by them pursuant to this Agreement, shall survive the Closing and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby for a period of one (1) year. The covenants made by each of the Company and each Investor in this Agreement, the exhibits hereto and in each instrument, agreement and certificate entered into and
delivered by them pursuant to this Agreement, shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. In the event of a breach or violation of any of such representations, warranties or covenants, the party to whom
such representations, warranties or covenants have been made shall have all rights and remedies for such breach or violation
Annex I-15
available to it under the provisions of this Agreement, irrespective of any investigation made by or on
behalf of such party on or prior to the Closing Date.
6.2 Indemnity.
(a) The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investors, their respective Affiliates
and their respective officers, directors, partners and members (collectively, the “Investor Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Damages, and agrees to reimburse the Investor Indemnitees for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
(including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel), in each case promptly as incurred by the Investor Indemnitees and to the extent arising out of or in connection with:
(i) any material misrepresentation, omission of any material fact or breach of any of the Company’s representations or warranties
contained in this Agreement, the annexes, schedules or exhibits hereto or any instrument, agreement or certificate entered into or delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement; or
(ii) any failure by the Company to perform in any material respect any of its covenants, agreements, undertakings or obligations set forth in this
Agreement, the annexes, schedules or exhibits hereto or any instrument, agreement or certificate entered into or delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement; or
(iii) any action instituted against the Investors, or any of them, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of an Investor, with
respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for any claim arising out of a breach by any Investor of this Agreement or the misuse by any Investor of any non-public information with respect to the Company.
(b) Each Investor, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, partners and members (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Damages, and agrees to reimburse the Company Indemnitees for reasonable all out-of-pocket
expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel), in each case promptly as incurred by the Company Indemnitees and to the extent arising out of or in connection with any material misrepresentation, omission of a material fact,
or breach of any of the Investor’s representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, the annexes, schedules or exhibits hereto or any instrument, agreement or certificate entered into or delivered by the Investor pursuant to this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6.2(b) for only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant
to the Registration Statement.
6.3 Notice. Promptly after receipt by
either party hereto seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2 (an “Indemnified Party”) of written notice of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in respect of which indemnification is being sought (each, a
“Claim”), the Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the party from whom indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2 is being sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the
Annex I-16
commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any
liability that it otherwise may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such omission or delay. In connection with any Claim as to which both the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party are parties, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ
separate legal counsel and to participate in the defense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party if (and only if): (x) the
Indemnifying Party shall have agreed to pay such fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, (y) the Indemnified Party reasonably shall have concluded that representation of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same legal counsel
would not be appropriate due to actual or, as reasonably determined by legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, potentially differing interests between such parties in the conduct of the defense of such Claim, or if there may be legal defenses
available to the Indemnified Party that are in addition to or disparate from those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (z) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to employ legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within a
reasonable period of time after notice of the commencement of such Claim. If the Indemnified Party employs separate legal counsel in circumstances other than as described in clauses (x), (y) or (z) above, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal
counsel shall be borne exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as provided above, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of legal
counsel for the Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local counsel). The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), settle or compromise any
Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities with respect to such Claim or judgment.
All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation in a manner not inconsistent with this Section and, except as
otherwise provided above, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) trading days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately
determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses, with interest at market rates, to the
extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).
6.4 Direct Claims. In the event one party hereunder should have a claim for indemnification that does not involve a claim or demand being asserted by a third party, the Indemnified Party
promptly shall deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim, such dispute shall be resolved by mutual agreement of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or by binding arbitration
conducted in accordance with the procedures and rules of the American Arbitration Association as set forth in Article IX. Judgment upon any award rendered by any arbitrators may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof.
Annex I-17
7. Restrictions on Transfer, Information and
Registration Rights
7.1 Restrictions on Transferability. The
Securities shall not be transferable in the absence of a registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, or in the absence of compliance with any term of the Purchase Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) the Securities may
be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (A) in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144 of the SEC (“Rule 144”), or in accordance with another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
(and based upon an opinion of counsel if the Company so requests) or (B) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with the applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or
any other applicable jurisdiction and (ii) Purchaser will be required to notify any subsequent purchaser of the resale restrictions set forth above. The Company shall be entitled to give stop transfer instructions to the transfer agent with respect
to the Securities in order to enforce the foregoing restrictions.
7.2 Restrictive

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“SECURITIES ACT”). THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR
HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION
AND QUALIFICATION ARE NOT REQUIRED. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE RIGHTS OF HOLDERS THEREOF ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS, AND THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE (INCLUDING ANY FUTURE HOLDERS) IS BOUND BY THE TERMS OF A STOCK AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER AND THE COMPANY (COPIES OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY).
7.3 Registration on Form S-3
7.3.1 Filing and Effectiveness of Registration Statement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure
effectiveness of, as soon as practicable, and shall file no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date (unless such registration is not permitted under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC), a registration statement on
Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act to register the non-underwritten public offering and resale of the Initial Shares and
Annex I-18
Warrant Shares (the “Registrable Securities”); provided however, that in the
event the Company fails to be eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3, the Company shall file with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act a registration statement on Form S-1. In the event that (i) the Registration Statement to be
filed by the Company is not filed with the SEC within thirty (30) days from the Closing, (ii) such Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commissioner within the earlier of sixty (60) days from the Closing or five (5) days after
clearance by the SEC to request effectiveness, (iii) such Registration Statement is not maintained as effective by the Company for the period set forth in Section 7.3.3 below, or (iv) the Registration Statement referred to in Section 7.3.3 below is
not filed within thirty (30) days or declared within sixty (60) days as set forth therein (each a “Registration Default”) then the Company shall be in Registration Default hereunder and shall be liable to each Investor for the decline in
value of the Registrable Securities held by such Investor at the time of such default until such Registration Default is cured in full. The Investors may further pursue all legal rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement.
7.3.2 Registration Expenses. The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses (as
defined below) in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance hereunder, and each holder of Registrable Securities (a “Holder;” collectively, the “Holders”) shall pay all Selling Expenses related to such
Holder’s sale of Registrable Securities (as defined below) and other expenses that are not Registration Expenses relating to the Registrable Securities resold by such Holder. “Registration Expenses” shall mean all expenses, except for
Selling Expenses, incurred by the Company in complying with the registration provisions herein described, including, without limitation, all registration, qualification and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Company, blue sky fees and expenses, all fees and expenses of a single counsel for the Holders (up to a maximum of $15,000) and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration. “Selling Expenses” shall
mean all selling commissions, underwriting fees (if any) and stock transfer taxes applicable to the Registrable Securities.
7.3.3 Additional Company Obligations. In the case of any registration effected by the Company pursuant to these registration provisions, the Company will use its best efforts to: (i) (A)
prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of
the Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement whenever the Investors shall desire to sell or otherwise dispose of the same (including prospectus supplements with respect to the sales
of securities from time to time in connection with a registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Act) and (B) take all lawful action such that each of (1) the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it
becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
and (2) the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement, and any amendment or supplement thereto, does not at any time during the Registration Period include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company agrees that it shall, within five business days of its legal
eligibility to do
Annex I-19
so, file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to amend such statement to be on Form

(xi) cooperate with the Investors to facilitate the timely preparation and
Annex I-20

7.3.4 Providing Information. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding
such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance described herein. Such Holder shall
represent that such information is true and complete.
7.3.5 Limitations on
Sale. The Company may at any time refuse to permit the Holders to resell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement; provided, however, that in order to exercise this right, the Company must deliver a
certificate in writing to the Holders to the effect that a delay in such sales is necessary because, in the good faith judgment of the Company, sales pursuant to the Registration Statement would require the public disclosure of information that
would not otherwise be required to be disclosed (which disclosure would, in the good faith judgment of the Company, have a significant adverse effect on the Company) or could in other respects constitute a violation of the federal securities laws or
otherwise materially adversely affect the Company. In such an event, the Company shall notify the Holders promptly after it has determined that such circumstances no longer exist. The Company shall not under any circumstances be entitled to refuse
to permit the Holders to resell any Registrable Securities under this Section (i) more than one (1) time in the twelve (12) month period following the Closing Date, and any individual period during which the Company refuses to permit the Holder to
resell any Registrable Securities in the twelve (12) month period following the Closing Date shall not exceed sixty (60) days, and (ii) more than one (1) time in the second twelve month period following the Closing Date, and any Registrable
Securities in the second twelve (12) month period following the Closing Date shall not exceed sixty (60) days. Each Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that it will not sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement during
the periods the Company refuses to permit the Holder to resell any Registrable Securities as set forth in this Section.
7.4 Indemnification and Contribution
7.4.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and each person who controls a Holder, within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) to which such Holder may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or
proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any claim by a third party
Annex I-21
asserting any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, on the
effective date thereof, or arise out of any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in the Registration Statement, and the Company will, as incurred, reimburse such Holder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damages or liability arises out of, or
is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement made in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use in
preparation of the Registration Statement or (ii)) any untrue statement in any prospectus that is corrected in any subsequent prospectus that was delivered to the Holder prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Holder.
7.4.2 Indemnification by Holder. Each Holder, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) to which the Company may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon any claim by a third party asserting (i) an untrue statement made in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, provided, however, that no Holder shall be liable in any such case for any untrue statement included
in any Prospectus which statement has been corrected, in writing, by such Holder and delivered to the Company at least three business days before the sale from which such loss occurred or (ii) any untrue statement in any prospectus that is corrected
in any subsequent prospectus that was delivered to the Holder prior to the pertinent sale or sales by the Holder, and each Holder, severally and not jointly, will, as incurred, reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Holder shall be liable under this Section 7.4.2 in excess of the net proceeds to such Holder as the
result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.
7.4.3
Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this
Section 5.4, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an
indemnified person and the indemnifying person shall have been notified thereof, the indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified person; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder unless the failure to give
such notice is materially prejudicial to an indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of the indemnifying person’s election to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists
Annex I-22
or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable opinion of
counsel for the indemnified person for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of
such indemnifying person; provided, however, that in the case of the immediately preceding proviso the indemnifying person shall not be responsible for the legal expenses of more than one counsel for all indemnified persons.
7.4.4 Contribution in Lieu of Indemnity. If the indemnification
provided for in this Section 5.4 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 5.4.1 or 5.4.2 above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof)
referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company on the one hand or a Holder on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Holders agree
that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 5.4.4. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this
Section 5.4.4 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.4.4, no
Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net amount received by the Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities to which such loss relates. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11 (f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations in this Section 5.4.4 to contribute are several in proportion to their
respective sales of Registrable Securities to which such loss relates and not joint.
Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 7.4.4, in no event shall any Investor be required to undertake liability to any person under this Section 7.4.4 for any amounts in excess of the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of such Investor’s
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.
7.4.5 Controlling
Persons Indemnified. The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 5.4 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the respective Holders may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms
and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act.
7.5 Reports Under the Exchange Act. With a view to make available to the Purchasers or Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation
of the SEC that may at any time permit a Purchaser or Holder to sell
Annex I-23
Securities to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company
will covenant and agree to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after the Closing; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of
the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (iii) furnish to any Purchaser or Holder, so long as the Purchaser or Holder owns any Securities forthwith upon request, (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with
the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail any Purchaser
or Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Securities without registration or pursuant to such Form S-3.
7.6 Adjustment of Number of Shares Purchased. In the event that the Company completes a placement of equity that results in proceeds of not less than
$1,000,000 at any time prior to such time as the Company has completed a placement or series of placements resulting in total aggregate proceeds of not less than $7,000,000 (a “Qualifying Adjustment Financing”) in which shares are issued
at a price per share of less than the Purchase Price (the “Lower Subsequent Purchase Price”), then for no additional consideration the Purchaser shall receive an additional number of shares of Company Common Stock (the “Lower
Subsequent Purchase Price Additional Shares”) equal to the number of shares that the Purchaser would have received had the Purchase Price been equal to the Lower Subsequent Purchase Price less the number of shares listed in Section 3 of the
initial page of this Purchase Agreement. For the purposes of this Purchase Agreement, the Lower Subsequent Purchase Price Additional Shares shall be deemed Initial Shares (as such term is defined in Section 1.2 hereof).
8. Miscellaneous
8.1 Waivers and Amendments. Without the written consent of (i) the Company and (ii) the record holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Securities
issued to the Purchasers (on a converted-to-Common Stock basis) then outstanding that have not previously been sold in a public offering, the terms of the Purchase Agreement may not be waived or amended.
8.2 Governing Law. The Purchase Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the
State of California as such laws are applied to agreements between California residents entered into and to be performed entirely within California. The Purchaser hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any State or United States Federal
court sitting in Alameda or San Francisco counties in the State of California over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Purchase Agreement or any agreement contemplated hereby, and the Purchaser hereby irrevocably agrees that
all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such State or Federal court. The Purchaser further waives any objection to venue in such State and any objection to an action or proceeding in such State on the basis
of a non-convenient forum. The Purchaser further agrees that any action or proceeding brought against the Company shall be brought only in the State or United States Federal courts sitting in Alameda or San Francisco counties in the State of
California.
Annex I-24
8.3 Survival. The representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements made herein shall survive any investigation made by the Company or the Purchaser and the Closing.
8.4 Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 5, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and
administrators of the parties hereto (specifically including successors in interest to the Securities).
8.5 Entire Agreement. The Purchase Agreement (including all Exhibits thereto) constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subject
hereof.
8.6 Notices, etc. All notices and other communications
required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) upon electronic confirmation of successful facsimile transmission, (c) three (3) days after deposit
with the United States mail, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) business day after timely delivery to an overnight air courier for next business day delivery, in each case addressed (i) if to the Purchaser, at the
address set forth on the signature page to the Purchase Agreement or at such other address as the Purchaser shall have furnished the Company in writing, or (ii) if to the Company, at its address set forth in the Purchase Agreement, or at such other
address as the Company shall have furnished to the Purchaser in writing.
8.7
Severability. If any provision of the Purchase Agreement shall be judicially determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.
8.8 Titles and Subtitles. The titles of
the paragraphs and subparagraphs of the Purchase Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not, by themselves, determine the construction of the Purchase Agreement.
8.9 Counterparts. The Purchase Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which be an original, but all of
which together shall constitute one instrument.
8.10 Attorneys Fees. In
the event any action is brought for enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred in said action. The Company shall pay the reasonable fees of
one (1) attorney for the Purchaser incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement provided that the Company receives a reasonably detailed invoice setting forth such fees.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK OF CARDIMA, INC.
This certifies that
(the “Holder”), for value received is entitled to purchase from Cardima, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
( ) fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the
“Warrant Shares”) at a price of $0.8245 (which exercise price shall be equal to 110% of the Purchase Price) per share (the “Stock Purchase Price”) at any time or from time to time on or after the Commencement Date (as defined
below) up to and including 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the Expiration Date (as defined below), upon surrender to the Company at its principal office at 00000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 (or at such other location as the Company may
advise Holder in writing) of this Warrant properly endorsed with the Form of Subscription attached hereto duly filled in and signed and upon payment by cash, cashier’s check or wire transfer of immediately available funds of the aggregate Stock
Purchase Price for the number of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised determined in accordance with the provisions hereof, such exercise to be conditioned upon the accuracy of all representations and warranties contained in such Form of
Subscription. The Stock Purchase Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 of this Warrant. “Commencement Date” means the date which is two (2) months after the date of issuance
of this Warrant and “Expiration Date” means the earlier of (i) four (4) years from the date hereof or (ii) the occurrence of an event, proposal of which is described in subsection (d) of Section 3.4 which causes termination of this Warrant
under Section 3.4. This Warrant is issued pursuant to
1
the Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement between the Company and Holder dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”).
This Warrant is subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. |
Exercise of Warrant. |
1.1 Issuance of Certificates. This Warrant is exercisable at the option of Holder at any time or from time to time on or after the Commencement Date and prior to or on the
Expiration Date for all or a portion of the shares of Warrant Shares which may be purchased hereunder but if this Warrant is to be exercised only in part, not for less than the greater of (a) twenty-five (25%) of the number of Warrant Shares which
may initially be purchased hereunder or (b) one thousand (1,000) Warrant Shares (in either case as adjusted for any stock dividend, split, combination, recapitalization or the like with respect to such shares). The Company agrees that the Warrant
Shares purchased under this Warrant shall be and are deemed to be issued to Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares. Subject
to the provisions of Section 2, certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, together with any other securities or property to which Holder is entitled upon such exercise, shall be delivered to Holder by the Company’s transfer agent at the
Company’s expense within a reasonable time after this Warrant has been exercised. Each stock certificate so delivered shall be in such denominations of Warrant Shares as may be requested by Holder and shall be registered in the name of Holder
or such other name as shall be designated by Holder, subject to the limitations contained in Section 2. If, upon exercise of this Warrant, fewer than all of the Warrant Shares evidenced by this Warrant are purchased prior to the date of expiration
of this Warrant, one or more new warrants substantially in the form of, and on the terms in, this Warrant will be issued for the remaining number of Warrant Shares not purchased upon exercise of this Warrant.
1.2 Payment. Payment of the Stock Purchase Price shall be made by surrender to the Company
of this Warrant properly endorsed with the Form of Subscription attached hereto duly filled in and signed and payment by cash, cashier’s check or wire transfer of immediately available funds and specifying the number of Warrant Shares to be
purchased, during normal business hours on any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banks are required or permitted to be closed in the State of California.
At any time after the Commencement Date and prior to the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall also be exercisable by means of a “cashless exercise”
in which the holder shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = the volume weighted average price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day preceding the date of such election on the Nasdaq Stock Market, or if the Common Stock is not traded on the Nasdaq
Stock Market, then the principal market in terms of volume, and converted into US Dollars;
(B) = the Exercise
Price of the Warrants; and
2
(X) = the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
2. Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. The Company covenants and agrees
that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all preemptive rights of any stockholder and
free of all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will use its best efforts to at
all times have authorized and reserved, for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock. When and as required to provide for the exercise of the rights
represented by this Warrant, the Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any
domestic securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
3. Adjustment of Stock Purchase Price; Number of Shares. The Stock Purchase Price and the number of shares of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment
from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events described in this Section 3.
3.1 Adjustment of Purchase Price. In the event that the Company at any time or from time to time after the issuance of this Warrant shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common
Stock payable in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, or shall effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by stock split, reclassification or
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock), or in the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of
shares of Common Stock, then the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, be proportionately decreased or increased, as appropriate. In the event that the Company shall
declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the Common Stock payable in any right to acquire Common Stock for no consideration, then the Company shall be deemed to have made a dividend payable in Common Stock in an amount of shares equal
to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire Common Stock. Upon each adjustment of the Stock Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 3.1, the holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the
Stock Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of Common Stock obtained by multiplying the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable pursuant
hereto immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Stock Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment.
3.2 Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock,
consolidate
3
or merge with or into another corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change
in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Company), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization,
reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other
subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then Holder shall
have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a
result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event. In case of any such
reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant
and condition of this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3.2. For purposes of
this Section 3.2, “common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation” shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is
not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the
happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations
or disposition of assets.
3.3 Notice of Adjustment. Upon any
adjustment of the Stock Purchase Price or any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall within five business days give written notice thereof, by first class mail,
postage prepaid, (or by international delivery service, for international addresses) addressed to the registered holder of this Warrant at the address of such holder as shown on the books of the Company. The notice shall be signed by the
Company’s chief financial officer and shall state the Stock Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth
in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
3.4 Certain Termination Events; Other Notices. If at any time the Company shall propose to:
(a) declare any cash dividend upon its Common Stock;
4
(b) declare or make any dividend or other distribution to the holders of its
Common Stock, whether in cash, property or other securities;
(c) effect
any reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation or any sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property of the Company; or
(d) effect a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up of the Company;
then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give, by certified or
registered mail, postage prepaid, or international delivery service for international deliveries, addressed to the holder of this Warrant at the address of such holder as shown on the books of the Company, (i) at least fifteen (15) business
days’ prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend or distribution or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, at
least fifteen (15) business days’ written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Any notice given in accordance with clause (i) above shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend or distribution, the record date for such
dividend or distribution, if after the Commencement Date. Any notice given in accordance with clause (ii) above shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other
property, if any, deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation/merger, sale, lease, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be and in connection with the occurrence of an event described in clause
(d) above such notice shall specify the anticipated net equity value that will accrue to Common Stock holders so that the Holder can make an informed decision whether or not to exercise this Warrant. In the event that the Holder of the Warrant does
not exercise this Warrant prior to the occurrence of an event described in clause (a) or (b) above, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive the benefits accruing to existing holders of the Common Stock in such event. Upon the occurrence of an
event described in clause (c) in which the holders of the Company’s voting securities of the Company immediately prior to the event do not hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the Company or the surviving entity (in a
sale of assets, the Company shall be the surviving entity) resulting from such event immediately after such event, this Warrant shall terminate unless the Company has negotiated (which it is under no obligation to do) for the assumption of this
Warrant. Upon the occurrence of an event described in clause (c) and, subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the Holder shall be entitled thereafter, upon payment of the Stock Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such action, to
receive upon exercise of this Warrant the class and number of shares which the Holder would have been entitled to receive after the occurrence of such event had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such event. In connection with the
transactions described in clause (c) and provided that this Warrant does not terminate as provided in the second sentence immediately preceding this sentence, the Company will require each person (other than the Company) that may be required to
deliver any cash, stock, securities or other property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein to assume, by written instrument delivered to the Holder of this
5
Warrant (x) the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and (y) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such cash,
stock, securities or other property as such Holder may be entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3. Upon the occurrence of an event the proposal of which is described in clause (d), this Warrant shall terminate.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no Holder shall have the right to obtain an injunction or restraining order or otherwise interfere with or prevent the occurrence of any of the actions described in (a) - (d) above.
3.5 Adjustment of Number of Warrant Shares For Certain Holder Transactions. The
number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be reduced on a one-for-one basis by the number of shares of Common Stock (or Common Stock equivalents) sold directly or indirectly, including, without limitation, any short sale, third party
short sales or holdings of a “put equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1 of the 1934 Act), of the Company’s Common Stock by the Holder from the date hereof until the date which is sixty (60) days from date of issuance of this
warrant. Prior to or simultaneously with the first exercise of this Warrant by the Holder (or the transfer of this Warrant), the Holder shall provide the Company with an affidavit and other reasonable supporting materials as to the foregoing.
3.6 Adjustment of the Number of Warrant Shares and the Stock Purchase
Price For a Certain Company Transaction. In the event that the Company completes a placement of equity that results in proceeds of not less than $1,000,000 at any time prior to such time as the Company has completed a placement or series of
placements resulting in total aggregate proceeds of not less than $7,000,000 (a “Qualifying Adjustment Financing”) in which shares are issued at a price per share of less than the Purchase Price (the “Lower Subsequent Purchase
Price”), then the Stock Purchase Price of this warrant and the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of this warrant shall be adjusted such that (i) the Stock Purchase Price shall be equal to 110% of the Lower Subsequent Purchase Price and
(ii) the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this warrant shall be adjusted upward by an amount equal to 45% of the number of Lower Subsequent Purchase Price Additional Shares issuable to the Holder. Any additional shares issuable as a result
of any adjustment under this Section 3.6 shall also be deemed Warrant Shares for the purposes of the Purchase Agreement and this warrant.
4. Issue Tax. The issuance of certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder of the Warrant for any issue tax in respect thereof;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the then Holder of the Warrant being
exercised.
5. No Voting or Dividend Rights; Limitation of Liability. Nothing
contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder hereof the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of meetings of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other
matters or any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. Except for the adjustment to the Stock Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.1 in the event of a dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, no dividends or
interest shall be payable or accrued in respect of this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable hereunder until, and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall have been exercised. No provisions hereof, in the absence
of affirmative action by the Holder to
6
purchase shares of Warrant Shares, and no mere enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any
liability of such Holder for the Stock Purchase Price or as a stockholder of the Company whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by its creditors.
6. Restrictions on Transferability of Securities: Compliance With Securities Act.
6.1 Restrictions on Transferability. The Warrant and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) shall not
be transferable except upon the conditions specified in the Purchase Agreement, which conditions are intended to insure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act and applicable “blue sky” law.
6.2 Restrictive Legend. Each certificate representing the Securities or any other securities
issued in respect of the Securities upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of the Purchase Agreement) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with
a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED,
ASSIGNED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND QUALIFIED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT
AND THE QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION ARE NOT REQUIRED. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE AND THE RIGHTS OF HOLDERS THEREOF ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS, AND THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (INCLUDING ANY FUTURE HOLDERS) IS BOUND BY THE TERMS OF A STOCK
AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER AND THE COMPANY (COPIES OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY).
6.3 Exchange of Warrant. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including the restrictions on transfer in this Section 6 and in the Purchase Agreement, upon surrender
of this Warrant to the Company with a duly executed Assignment Form in the form attached hereto and funds sufficient to pay any transfer tax, the Company shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor in the name
of the assignee named in such Assignment Form and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled; provided, however, that
7
if the transfer is for less than all of this Warrant, the transferor shall pay all reasonable costs of the Company in
connection with a transfer of Warrants to purchase less than the greater of (a) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Warrant Shares which may initially be purchased hereunder or (b) one thousand (1,000) Warrant Shares (in either case as adjusted for any
stock dividend, split, combination, recapitalization or the like with respect to such shares). The term “Warrant” as used herein shall be deemed to include any Warrants issued in exchange for this Warrant.
6.4 Ownership of Warrant. The Company may deem and treat the person in whose name this
Warrant is registered as the holder and owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Company) for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, until presentation of
this Warrant for registration of transfer as provided in Section 6.3.
7. Modification
and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Warrant and any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the same is sought.
8. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, any notices and other
communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) upon electronic confirmation of successful facsimile transmission, (c) three (3)
days after deposit with the United States mail, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) business day after timely delivery to an overnight air courier for next business day delivery, in each case addressed (i) if to the

at such other address as the Company shall have furnished to the Purchaser in writing.

the jurisdiction of any State or United States Federal court sitting in the Alameda or San Francisco counties in the State of California over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant or any agreement contemplated hereby,

proceeding in such State based on non-convenient forum. The Holder further agrees that any action or proceeding brought against the Company shall be brought only in the State or United States Federal courts sitting in Alameda or San Francisco
counties in the State of California.

expense will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant or stock certificate.
