As of their respective dates, the financial statements (including, without limitation, any notes or any letter of the independent accountants of the Parent and ICA-T with respect thereto) of the Parent and/or ICA-T included in the SEC Documents (the “Financial Statements”) complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect as of the time of filing.

Since the date of the Parent’s most recent audited financial statements contained in a Form 10-K, neither the Parent, ICA-T nor the Subsidiaries has (i) declared or paid any dividends, (ii) sold any assets, individually or in the aggregate, outside of the ordinary course of business or (iii) made any capital expenditures, individually or in the aggregate, outside of the ordinary course of business.

Neither the Parent, ICA-T and/or the Subsidiaries, individually and/or on a consolidated basis, are not as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the Closing, will not be Insolvent (as defined below).

Neither the Parent, ICA-T nor the Subsidiaries has engaged in any business or in any transaction, and is not about to engage in any business or in any transaction, for which the Parent’s, ICA-T’s or their respective Subsidiary’s remaining assets constitute unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted. ICA-T is in compliance in all material respects with the Sanofi Documents and no event of default exists and/or will exist with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, under the Sanofi Documents. ICA-T and the Parent have no reason to believe that Sanofi may seek to modify and/or terminate any of the Sanofi Documents and/or seek to take any action under the Deed of Trust including, but not limited to, foreclosing and/or selling the Property/Facilities and/or reduce the payments it has agreed to pay to ICA-T and/or the services it has contracted to receive from ICA-T under the Sanofi Documents and/or an event of default may occur in the immediate future under any of the Sanofi Documents. The Parent is in compliance in all material respects with its documents and agreements with Icagen, Inc., a subsidiary of Pfizer, Inc. (“Pfizer”) including, but not limited to, the Asset Purchase and Collaboration Agreement dated as of June 26, 2015, as amended (the “Pfizer APA” and collectively, the “Pfizer Documents”) and no event of default exists and/or will exist with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, under the Pfizer Documents. The Parent has no reason to believe that Pfizer may seek to modify and/or terminate any of the Pfizer Documents and/or seek to take any such action to reduce the amount of business/services it has contracted for from the Parent and/or not pay or modify the $1,000,000 guaranteed payment owed by Pfizer to the Parent due on or about June 30, 2017. The Parent has no reason to believe that any event has occurred that would or could result in a violation of any of the Pfizer Documents and/or could result in Pfizer seeking to terminate and/or otherwise modify any of the Pfizer Documents and/or the scope of its business relationship with the Parent.

All such information shall be certified in a writing signed by the Parent’s and ICA-T’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as being true and correct.
(VI) In addition to the above, upon request from the Buyer, the Parent and ICA-T shall provide the Buyer, no later than the third (3rd) Business Day of any request, a status update on matters relating to the business and operations of the Parent, ICA-T and the Subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, manufacturing and capital expenditures, shipment of products, sales pipeline, decisions of the board of directors of the Parent, ICA-T and the Subsidiaries and regulatory and licensing issues, and such information and such other information including, but not limited to, status updates, clarifications of previously provided information including supporting documentation and written explanations.
(VII) The Parent and ICA-T may satisfy its obligations under clauses “II” and “III” of this Section 4(ff)(II) and (III) (as applicable) by delivery (i) for each calendar quarter, a quarterly report on Form 10-Q for such quarter, if timely filed with the SEC in accordance with SEC rules and regulations, and (ii) for each calendar year, an Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year, if timely filed with the SEC in accordance with SEC rules and regulations.

If at any time the number of shares of Parent Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the SPA Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), the Parent shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Parent authorized shares of Parent Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Parent to reserve the SPA Required Reserve Amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Parent shall either (i) hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Parent Common Stock or (ii) have rectified such Authorized Share Failure by increasing the required SPA Reserve Amount by obtaining approval by written request of the required percentage of issued and outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock and having taken all other such actions to effectuate the same. In connection with a meeting described in “(i)” above, the Parent shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Parent Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. Nothing contained in this Section 4(gg) shall limit any obligations of the Parent and/or ICA-T under any provision of the Transaction Documents.

(c) Transfer Agent Instructions. The Parent and ICA-T shall issue irrevocable instructions to the Transfer Agent and any subsequent transfer agent (as applicable, the “Transfer Agent”) in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit J (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), registered in the name of the Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversions of the Notes and exercise of the Parent Warrant in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Buyer to the Parent and ICA-T upon conversions of the Notes and/or exercises of the Parent Warrant. The Parent and ICA-T each represent and warrant that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5(c), and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(g) hereof, will be given by the Parent and ICA-T to the Transfer Agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities (as the case may be) and ending on the date of receipt by the Buyer of such shares without restrictive legend and the required payment. Such shares shall be freely transferable on the books and records of the Parent and ICA-T, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If the Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with Section 2(g), the Parent and ICA-T shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct the Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversions of the Notes or exercise of the Parent Warrant sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144, the Transfer Agent shall issue such shares of Parent Common Stock to the Buyer, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 5(d) below. The Parent and ICA-T each acknowledge that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer and/or any of its assignees and/or transferees. Accordingly, the Parent and ICA-T acknowledge that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5(c) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Parent and ICA-T of the provisions of this Section 5(c), the Buyer and/or any of its assignees and/or transferees shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Parent shall cause its legal counsel to issue the legal opinion referred to in the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to the Parent’s Transfer Agent on each Effective Date. Any fees (with respect to the Transfer Agent, DTC, counsel to the Parent or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of any legends on any of the Securities shall be borne by the Parent.
(d) Removal of Legends. Certificates evidencing the Securities shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in Section 5(b) above or any other legend (i) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement) covering the resale of such Securities is effective under the 1933 Act, (ii) following any sale of such Securities (as the case may be), pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an affiliate of the Parent or ICA-T), (iii) if such Securities (as the case may be), are eligible to be sold, assigned or transferred under Rule 144 (provided that the Buyer provides the Parent with reasonable assurances that such Securities are eligible for sale, assignment or transfer under Rule 144 which shall not include an opinion of Buyer’s counsel), (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144), provided that the Buyer provides the Parent with an opinion of counsel to the Buyer, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Parent, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, (v) if legal counsel to the Parent and/or ICA-T provides the legal opinion required pursuant to Section 4(a)(xxi) of the ICA-T Note or otherwise, or (vi) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the SEC). If a legend is not required pursuant to the foregoing, the Parent shall no later than two (2) Trading Days (as defined in the Notes) (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated on the date the Buyer delivers such legended certificate representing such Securities to the Parent) following the delivery by the Buyer to the Parent or its Transfer Agent (with notice to the Parent) of a legended certificate representing such Securities (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), together with any other deliveries from the Buyer as may be required above in this Section 5(d), as directed by the Buyer, either: (A) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and such Securities are shares of Parent Common Stock credit the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to which the Buyer shall be entitled to the Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the Buyer, a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of the Buyer or its designee (the date by which such credit is so required to be made to the balance account of such Buyer’s or such Buyer’s designee with DTC or such certificate is required to be delivered to such Buyer pursuant to the foregoing is referred to herein as the “Required Delivery Date”, and the date such shares of Parent Common Stock are actually delivered without restrictive legend to such Buyer or such Buyer’s designee with DTC, as applicable, the “Share Delivery Date”). The Parent shall be responsible for any transfer agent fees or DTC fees with respect to any issuance of Securities or the removal of any legends with respect to any Securities in accordance herewith.

8. | MISCELLANEOUS. |
(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Parent and ICA-T hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Buyer from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Parent and ICA-T in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Parent’s and ICA-T’s obligations to the Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Buyer. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

(c) Headings; Gender. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.
(d) Severability; Maximum Payment Amounts. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and without implication that the following is required or applicable), it is the intention of the parties that in no event shall amounts and value paid by the Parent, ICA-T and/or any of the Subsidiaries (as the case may be), or payable to or received by the Buyer, under the Transaction Documents (including without limitation, any amounts that would be characterized as “interest” under applicable law) exceed amounts permitted under any applicable law. Accordingly, if any obligation to pay, payment made to the Buyer, or collection by the Buyer pursuant the Transaction Documents is finally judicially determined to be contrary to any such applicable law, such obligation to pay, payment or collection shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of the Buyer, the Parent, ICA-T and/or any of the Subsidiaries and such amount shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the applicable law. Such adjustment shall be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing or refunding, at the option of the Buyer, the amount of interest or any other amounts which would constitute unlawful amounts required to be paid or actually paid to the Buyer under the Transaction Documents. For greater certainty, to the extent that any interest, charges, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid to or received by the Buyer under any of the Transaction Documents or related thereto are held to be within the meaning of “interest” or another applicable term to otherwise be violative of applicable law, such amounts shall be pro-rated over the period of time to which they relate.

(h) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, other than the Indemnitees referred to in Section 8(k).
(i) Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants shall survive the Closing.
(j) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(k) Indemnification.
(i) In consideration of the Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Parent and ICA-T’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, to the full extent required by law, the Parent and ICA-T each will and hereby does, jointly and severally, defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and each other holder of any Securities and all of their predecessors, successors, advisors, stockholders, partners, members, managers, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives including in-house and outside legal counsels (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Parent, ICA-T and/or any of the Subsidiaries in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of any material covenant, agreement or obligation of the Parent, ICA-T and/or any of the Subsidiaries contained in any of the Transaction Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit, arbitration, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Parent, ICA-T and/or any of the Subsidiaries) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents, (B) any of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents including, but not limited to, any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (C) any disclosure properly made by the Buyer pursuant to Section 4(i), or (D) the status of the Buyer or any other holder of the Securities either as an investor in the Parent and ICA-T pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or as a party to this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document (including, without limitation, as a party in interest or otherwise in any action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief). To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Parent and ICA-T may be unenforceable for any reason, the Parent and ICA-T shall and shall cause each Subsidiary to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. The rights and remedies of an Indemnitee and the obligations and responsibilities of the Parent and ICA-T as set forth in this Section 8(k) are in addition and not in limitation to those set forth in Section 8(q) of this Agreement.

(ii) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 8(k) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Parent and ICA-T under this Section 8(k), deliver to the Parent and ICA-T a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Parent and ICA-T shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Parent and ICA-T so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Parent and ICA-T and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the Parent and ICA-T if: (A) the Parent and ICA-T has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (B) the Parent and ICA-T shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability; or (C) the named parties to any such Indemnified Liability (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and the Parent and ICA-T, and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnitee and the Parent and ICA-T (in which case, if such Indemnitee notifies the Parent and ICA-T in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Parent and ICA-T, then the Parent and ICA-T shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the Parent and ICA-T); provided, further, that in the case of clause (C) above the Parent and ICA-T shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for the Indemnitees. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the Parent and ICA-T in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liability by the Parent and ICA-T and shall furnish to the Parent and ICA-T all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action or Indemnified Liability. The Parent and ICA-T shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. The Parent and ICA-T shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the Parent and ICA-T shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. The Parent and ICA-T shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liability or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the Parent and ICA-T shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the Parent and ICA-T within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Parent and ICA-T of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 8(k), except to the extent that the Parent and ICA-T is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

(iii) All representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents shall survive until the Notes are repaid in full are no longer outstanding. The covenants and agreements which by their terms do not contemplate performance after the Closing Date shall survive until the Notes are paid in full are no longer outstanding. The covenants and agreements which by their terms contemplate performance after the Closing Date shall survive the Closing Date in accordance with their terms until 60 days following the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations (after giving effect to any waivers and extensions thereof). The indemnification required by this Section 8(k) shall be made by periodic wire payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, within ten (10) days after bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.
(iv) The indemnity agreement contained herein shall be in addition to (A) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitee against the Parent and ICA-T or others, B) any liabilities the Parent and ICA-T may be subject to pursuant to the law, and (C) those provided in Section 8(q)(xi).
(l) Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, shares of Parent Common Stock and any other numbers in this Agreement that relate to the Parent Common Stock shall be automatically adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Parent Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that for all purposes of this Agreement, and without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true, neither transactions nor purchases nor sales shall include the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Parent Common Stock.

(m) Remedies. The Buyer and in the event of assignment by Buyer of its rights and obligations hereunder, each holder of Securities, shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Parent and ICA-T recognize that in the event that it or any Subsidiary fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its or such Subsidiary’s (as the case may be) obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyer. The Parent and ICA-T therefore agrees that the Buyer shall be entitled to seek specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).
(n) Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever the Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Parent, ICA-T or their respective Subsidiaries does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Parent and ICA-T or such Subsidiary (as the case may be), any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
(o) Payment Set Aside; Currency. To the extent that the Parent and ICA-T makes a payment or payments to the Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Buyer enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Parent and ICA-T, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.

(p) Judgment Currency.
(i) If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Parent and ICA-T in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 9(p) referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in US Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding:
a. | the date actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date; or |
b. | the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 9(p)(i)(2) being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”). |
(ii) If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 9(p)(i)(2) above, there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of US Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.
(iii) Any amount due from the Parent and ICA-T under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(q) Registration Rights, Etc.
(i) Filing; Effectiveness, Etc. The Parent and ICA-T hereby agree that the Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement (as defined below) on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities (as defined below)subject to the provisions of Section 8(q)(v) below; provided that such initial Registration Statement shall register for resale at least the number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Required Registration Amount (as defined below) as of the date such Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC; provided further that if Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Parent shall use such other form as is required by Section 8(q)(iii). Such initial Registration Statement, and each other Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Buyer in accordance with the rules and regulations of the 1933 Act) the “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” sections in substantially the form provided to the Parent by the Holder within ten (10) days from such request by the Parent. After the filing of the Registration Statement and each other Registration Statement required to be filed by the Parent hereunder with the SEC, the Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC (the date the SEC declares the Registration Statement and/or any other Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities effective shall be the “Effective Date”), as soon as possible, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline (as defined below). Following the Effective Date, the Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the Registration Statement remains effective at all times so that a holder of Registrable Securities can effectuate sales of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement and such other Registration Statement until the date three (3) months following the date the ICA-T Note is no longer outstanding. For purposes hereof, the terms “Registrable Securities” means (i) the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon (a) conversion of the ICA-T Note, and (b) conversion of the Parent Note and/or exercise of the Parent Warrant solely to the extent such shares of Parent Common Stock are required to be included in a Registration Statement because such shares of Parent Common Stock are not eligible for issuance and/or sale under Rule 144 without restrictive legend(the “Other Registrable Securities”), and (ii) any capital stock of the Parent issued or issuable with respect to the Other Registrable Securities and the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the ICA-T Note and/or the Other Registrable Securities including, without limitation, (1) as a result of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, exchange or similar event or otherwise and (2) shares of capital stock of the Parent into which the shares of Parent Common Stock and/or are converted, exercised or exchanged and shares of capital stock of a Successor Entity (as defined in the ICA-T Note, the Parent Note and/or the Parent Warrant, as applicable) into which the shares of Parent Common Stock are converted or exchanged into (but with regard to the Other Registrable Securities, to the extent such Other Registrable Securities are required to be included in a Registration Statement because they are not eligible for issuance and/or sale under Rule 144 without restrictive legend), in each case, without regard to any limitations on conversion of the ICA-T Note the Parent Note and/or the Parent Warrant, as applicable. “Registration Statement” means a registration statement or registration statements of the Parent filed under the 1933 Act covering Registrable Securities. “Effectiveness Deadline” means except as provided in Section 8(q)(v), (i) with respect to the initial Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 8(q)(i), the date six (6) months following the closing of a Qualifying PO, , and (ii) with respect to any additional Registration Statements that may be required to be filed by the Parent pursuant to this Section 8(q), the earlier of (A) ninety (90) calendar days following the date on which the Parent was required to file such additional Registration Statement (or in the event such Registration Statement receives a “full review” by the Staff (as defined below), the one hundred twentieth (120th) day following such filing date), and (B) 2nd Business Day after the date the Parent is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such Registration Statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review. “Required Registration Amount” means, as of any given date, 125% of the sum of the maximum number of Parent Conversion Shares then issuable upon conversion of the ICA-T Note (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the ICA-T Note is convertible at 75% the then Conversion Price (as defined in the Notes) in effect on such given date, and (y) any such calculation shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the ICA-T Note set forth in the ICA-T Note), all subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8(q)(ii) and/or Section 8(q)(v).
(ii) Sufficient Number of Registrable Securities Registered. In the event the number of Registrable Securities available under any Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement, the Parent shall amend such Registration Statement (if permissible), or file with the SEC a new Registration Statement (on the shortest form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the necessity therefor arises (but taking account of any SEC Staff (the “Staff”) position with respect to the date on which the Staff will permit such amendment to the Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as the case may be) to be filed with the SEC). The Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment to such Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as the case may be) to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof with the SEC, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the shares of Parent Common Stock Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of shares of Parent Common Stock available for resale under the applicable Registration Statement is less than the Required Registration Amount.

(iii) Ineligibility to Use Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Parent shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Buyer and (ii) undertake to register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Parent shall maintain the effectiveness of all Registration Statements then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC and the prospectus contained therein is available for use.
(iv) Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of any Registration Statement. If the (a) a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby (subject to any reduction pursuant to Section 8(q)(v)) pursuant to this Agreement is not declared effective by the SEC on or before the Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement (an “Effectiveness Failure”), (it being understood that if on the Business Day immediately following the Effective Date for such Registration Statement the Parent shall not have filed a “final” prospectus for such Registration Statement with the SEC under Rule 424(b) (whether or not such a prospectus is technically required by such rule), the Parent shall be deemed to not have satisfied this clause and such event shall be deemed to be an Effectiveness Failure), (b) on any day after the Effective Date of a Registration Statement sales of all Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 8(v) of this Agreement) cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, because of a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, a failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, a suspension or delisting of (or a failure to timely list) the shares of Parent Common Stock on the Principal Market (as defined below) or any other limitations imposed by the Principal Market, or a failure to register a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock or by reason of a stop order) or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use for any reason (a “Maintenance Failure”), or (c) if a Registration Statement is not effective for any reason or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use for any reason and either (x) the Parent fails for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1), including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (y) the Parent has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and the Parent shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Current Public Information Failure”) as a result of which the Buyer is unable to sell Registrable Securities without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions), then, as partial relief for the damages to the Buyer by reason of any such delay in, or reduction of, its ability to sell Registrable Securities (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance), the Parent shall pay to the Buyer of Registrable Securities an amount in cash equal to two (2%) percent of the product of (x) the number of Registrable Securities of the Buyer required hereunder to be included in such Registration Statement and (y) the Closing Sale Price or Closing Bid Price (as the case may be and as defined in the ICA-T Note) as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the date a Registration Delay Payment (as defined below) is due hereunder (1) on the date of such Effectiveness Failure, Maintenance Failure or Current Public Information Failure, as applicable, and (2) on every thirty (30) day anniversary of (I) an Effectiveness Failure until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; (II) a Maintenance Failure until such Maintenance Failure is cured; and (III) a Current Public Information Failure until the earlier of (i) the date such Current Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such public information is no longer required pursuant to Rule 144 (in each case, pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days). The payments to which a holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 8(iv) are referred to herein as “Registration Delay Payments”, it being understood that no Registration Delay Payments shall be payable to the Buyer with respect to each Effectiveness Failure, and/or Maintenance Failure or a Current Public Information Failure to the extent (x) such Registration Delay Payments relate to such Registrable Securities the Buyer elects not to include in such Registration Statement or (y) the Buyer fails to timely perform its obligations hereunder. Following the initial Registration Delay Payment for any particular event or failure (which shall be paid on the date of such event or failure, as set forth above), without limiting the foregoing, if an event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured prior to any thirty (30) day anniversary of such event or failure, then such Registration Delay Payment shall be made on the third (3rd) Business Day after such cure. In the event the Parent fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner in accordance with the foregoing, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. “Principal Market” means the NYSE MKT, New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the OTCQB Market, the OTCQX Market, or the OTC Pink Market, or any successor or subsequent market or exchange, which is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Parent Common Stock, based upon share volume.

(v) Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement in the event the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities by, or on behalf of, the Parent, or in any other manner, such that the Staff or the SEC do not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and used for resales in a manner that does not constitute such an offering and that permits the continuous resale at the market by the Buyer then the Parent shall reduce the number of shares to be included in such Registration Statement by the Buyer until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective as aforesaid. In addition, in the event that the Staff or the SEC requires the Buyer to be specifically identified as an ”underwriter” in order to permit such Registration Statement to become effective, and the Buyer does not consent to being so named as an underwriter in such Registration Statement, then, in each such case, the Parent shall reduce the total number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of the Buyer, until such time as the Staff or the SEC does not require such identification or until the Buyer accepts such identification and the manner thereof. With regard to any reduced Registrable Securities, upon a written request to the Parent signed by the Buyer, the Parent shall file a registration statement within twenty (20) days of such request (subject to any restrictions imposed by Rule 415 or required by the Staff or the SEC) for resale by the Buyer in a manner acceptable to the Buyer, and the Parent shall following such request cause to be and keep effective such Registration Statement in the same manner as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement for other registration statements hereunder, in each case until such time as: (i) all Registrable Securities held by the Buyer have been registered and sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement in a manner acceptable to the Buyer or (ii) all Registrable Securities may be resold by the Buyer without restriction (including, without limitation, volume limitations) pursuant to Rule 144 (taking account of any Staff position with respect to “affiliate” status) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) and legal counsel to the Parent provides and opinion to such effect to the Buyer in form reasonably acceptable to the Buyer or (iii) the Buyer agrees to be named as an underwriter in any such Registration Statement in a manner acceptable to the Buyer as to all Registrable Securities held by the Buyer and that have not theretofore been included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement (it being understood that the special demand right under this sentence may be exercised by the Buyer multiple times and with respect to limited amounts of Registrable Securities in order to permit the resale thereof by the Buyer as contemplated above).
(vi) Piggyback Registrations. Without limiting any obligation of the Parent hereunder, under this Agreement and/or under the ICA-T Note, the Parent Note and/or the Parent Warrant, if at any time following a Qualifying PO, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use and the Parent shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the 0000 Xxx) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or a business combination subject to Rule 145 under the 1933 Act or equity securities issuable in connection with the Parent’s stock option or other employee benefit plans), then the Parent shall deliver to the Buyer a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the date of actual receipt of such notice, the Buyer shall so request in writing, the Parent shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such shares of Parent Common Stock the Buyer requests to be registered; provided, however, the Parent shall not be required to register any shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Section 8(q)(vi) that are the subject of a then-effective Registration Statement.

(vii) No Inclusion of Other Securities. Except with respect to a registration statement filed under Section 8(q)(vi), the Parent shall in no event include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement filed in accordance herewith without the prior written consent of the Buyer. Until the date 90 days following the Effective Date of a Registration Statement, the Parent shall not enter into any agreement providing any registration rights to any of its security holders other than the Buyer, or filed a registration statement or have a previously filed registration statement declared effective by the SEC or file a prospectus supplement to permit sales of securities pursuant to an already declared effective registration statement for any holders of its securities, except the Buyer.
(viii) If the Buyer may be required under applicable securities law to be described in any Registration Statement as an underwriter and the Buyer consents in writing to so being named an underwriter, upon the written request of the Buyer, the Parent shall make available for inspection by (i) the Buyer, (ii) legal counsel for the Buyer and (iii) one (1) firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Buyer (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Parent, ICA-T and each Subsidiary (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Parent’s, ICA-T’s and each Subsidiary’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, each Inspector shall agree in writing to hold in strict confidence and not to make any disclosure (except to the Buyer or its agents, representatives and Affiliates) or use of any Record or other information which the Parent’s board of directors determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (1) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (2) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (3) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Buyer agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Parent and allow the Parent, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Parent and the Buyer, if any) shall be deemed to limit the Buyer’s ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations. If the Buyer may be required under applicable securities law to be described in any Registration Statement as an underwriter and the Buyer consents to so being named an underwriter, at the request of the Buyer, the Parent shall furnish to the Buyer, on the date of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as the Buyer may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Parent’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Buyer, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Parent for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Buyer.

(ix) In addition, without limiting any obligation of the Parent under this Agreement, the Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts either to (i) cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Parent are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, (ii) secure designation and quotation of all of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement on an Eligible Market (as defined in the ICA-T Note), or (iii) if, despite the Parent’s reasonable best efforts to satisfy the preceding clauses (i) or (ii) the Parent is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to use its best efforts to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) as such with respect to such Registrable Securities. In addition, the Parent shall cooperate with the Buyer and any broker or dealer through which the Buyer proposes to sell its Registrable Securities in effecting a filing with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 as requested by the Buyer. The Parent shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 8(q)(ix).
(x) The obligations of the Parent under this Section 8(q), except those set forth in Section 8(q)(xi) and (xii) shall terminate three months after the ICA-T Note (and the Parent Note if the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Parent Note constitute Registrable Securities) is no longer outstanding or the Parent has credited to the Buyer’s account at DTC all Registrable Securities without registration of such shares on any Registration Statement; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein or elsewhere, the Buyer shall in no event be required to deliver any legal opinion removing any legend on any Registrable Securities, which obligation to deliver a legal opinion shall be the sole responsibility and expense of the Parent.
(xi) In addition to and not in limitation of the rights and remedies of an Indemnitee and the obligations and responsibilities of the Parent and ICA-T set forth in Section 8(k) hereof or elsewhere, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Parent and ICA-T will, and each hereby does, jointly and severally, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Buyer and each other holder of Registrable Securities and each of its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Person with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) and each Person, if any, who controls the Buyer within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act and each of the directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense and investigation), amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Person is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Parent files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Parent of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Parent and ICA-T shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 8(q)(xi): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Parent by such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Parent pursuant to Section 3(d); and (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Parent and/or ICA-T, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by the Buyer pursuant to Section 8(q)(xiii) or elsewhere.

(xii) To the extent any indemnification by an Indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 8(q)(xi) to the fullest extent permitted by law. In addition, as otherwise set forth in this Section 8(q)(xi), the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights of the Buyer and the obligations of the Parent and ICA-T under this Section 8(q)(xi) shall be the same as those set forth in Section 8(k) of this Agreement and the provisions set forth in Section 8(k)(iii) shall apply to the provisions of this Section 8(q), as applicable.
(xiii) All or any portion of the rights of the Buyer under this Section 8(q) shall be automatically assignable by the Buyer to any transferee or assignee (as the case may be) of all or any portion of such Buyer’s Registrable Securities or Notes and/or Parent Warrant if: (i) the Buyer agrees in writing with such transferee or assignee (as the case may be) to assign all or any portion of such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Parent within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment (as the case may be); (ii) the Parent is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment (as the case may be), furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee (as the case may be), and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned (as the case may be); (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment (as the case may be) the further disposition of such securities by such transferee or assignee (as the case may be) is restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws if so required; (iv) at or before the time the Parent receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence such transferee or assignee (as the case may be) agrees in writing with the Parent to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; (v) such transfer or assignment (as the case may be) shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Notes and the Parent Warrant; and (vi) such transfer or assignment (as the case may be) shall have been conducted in accordance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

(“Icagen”), Icagen-T, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Icagen (“ICA-T”) and GPB Debt Holdings II, LLC are the disclosure schedules of Icagen and ICA-T (collectively, the “Disclosure Schedules”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in the Disclosure Schedules have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement. The information disclosed in these Disclosure Schedules is intended to qualify the representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement and shall not be deemed to expand in any way the scope or effect of any of such representations and warranties on the part of the party making such representation or warranty.
The inclusion of any item in these Disclosure Schedules (i) does not represent a determination that such item is material or establish a standard of materiality; (ii) does not represent a determination that such item did not arise in the ordinary course of business; (iii) does not represent a determination that the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement require the consent of third parties, except as specifically noted; and (iv) shall not constitute, or be deemed to be, an admission to any third party concerning such item. No disclosure in these Disclosure Schedules relating to any possible breach or violation of any agreement or law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation actually occurred. The fact that a matter has been included in these Disclosure Schedules shall not necessarily mean that such matter must or should have been disclosed in order that the corresponding representation or warranty be accurate, or is otherwise required to be disclosed, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement.
Section headings and numbers used in these Disclosure Schedules refer to the corresponding sections of the Purchase Agreement, and these and other headings and numbers are for convenience only and are not to be used to interpret any provision of the Purchase Agreement or these Disclosure Schedules. Any matters disclosed in one section of these Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed disclosed for all purposes in all other sections of these Disclosure Schedules to the extent that such disclosure is made in such a way as to make its relevance with respect to any such other section of these Disclosure Schedules reasonably apparent on its face.
