AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 8, 2016, by and among LPATH, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Lpath”), LPATH MERGER SUB, INC., A Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Lpath (“Merger Sub”), and APOLLO ENDOSURGERY, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”). Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.

RECITALS

A. Lpath and Buyer intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub with and into Buyer (the “Merger”) in accordance with this Agreement and the DGCL. Upon consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist, and Buyer will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lpath.

B. The parties intend, by approving resolutions authorizing this Agreement, to adopt this Agreement as a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and to cause the Merger to qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

C. The Board of Directors of Lpath (i) has determined that the Contemplated Transactions are fair to, and in the best interests of, Lpath and its stockholders, (ii) has deemed advisable and approved this Agreement, the Contemplated Transactions, the issuance of shares of Lpath Common Stock to the stockholders of Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the change of control of Lpath, and the other actions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) has approved the Reverse Split, and (iv) has determined to recommend that the stockholders of Lpath vote to approve the issuance of shares of Lpath Common Stock to the stockholders of Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the change of control of Lpath, the Reverse Split and such other actions as contemplated by this Agreement.

D. The Board of Directors of Merger Sub (i) has determined that the Contemplated Transactions are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, Merger Sub and its stockholders, (ii) has deemed advisable and approved this Agreement, the Contemplated Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iii) has determined to recommend that the stockholder of Merger Sub vote to adopt this Agreement and thereby approve the Merger and such other actions as contemplated by this Agreement.

E. The Board of Directors of Buyer (i) has determined that the Contemplated Transactions are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, Buyer and its stockholders, (ii) has deemed advisable and approved this Agreement, the Contemplated Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iii) has determined to recommend that the stockholder of Buyer vote to adopt this Agreement and thereby approve the Merger and such other actions as contemplated by this Agreement.

F. In order to induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to cause the Contemplated Transactions to be consummated, the officers and directors of Lpath listed on

Schedule A hereto (solely in their capacities as stockholders) are executing support agreements in favor of Buyer concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement in the form substantially attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Lpath Stockholder Support Agreements”).

G. In order to induce Lpath to enter into this Agreement and to cause the Contemplated Transactions to be consummated, the officers, directors and 5% or greater stockholders (together with their Affiliates) of Buyer listed on Schedule B hereto (solely in their capacities as stockholders) are executing support agreements in favor of Lpath concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement in the form substantially attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Buyer Stockholder Support Agreements”).

H. It is expected that within two (2) Business Days after the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, the holders of shares of Buyer Capital Stock sufficient to adopt and approve this Agreement and the Merger as required under the DGCL and Buyer’s Certificate of Incorporation will execute and deliver an action by written consent in a form reasonably acceptable to Lpath.

I. Immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition of the willingness of Lpath to enter into this Agreement, certain investors have executed the Securities Purchase Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D with Buyer pursuant to which such investors have agreed to purchase certain shares of Buyer Common Stock prior to the Closing in connection with the Concurrent Financing.

The parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION

1.1 Structure of the Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Buyer, and the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease. Buyer will continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).

1.2 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

1.3 Closing; Effective Time. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.1, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 6, 7 and 8, the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxx LLP, 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxx, XX 00000, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than the second Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Articles 6, 7 and 8, other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of such conditions), or at such other time, date and place as Lpath and Buyer may mutually agree in writing. The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.” At the Closing, the Parties hereto shall cause the Contemplated Transactions to be consummated by executing and filing with the Secretary of State of the State

of Delaware a Certificate of Merger with respect to the Merger, satisfying the applicable requirements of the DGCL and in a form reasonably acceptable to Lpath and Buyer (the “Certificate of Merger”). The Merger shall become effective at the time of the filing of such Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be specified in such Certificate of Merger with the consent of Lpath and Buyer (the time as of which the Merger becomes effective being referred to as the “Effective Time”).

1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Directors and Officers. At the Effective Time:

(a) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read identically to the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such Certificate of Incorporation;

(b) the Certificate of Incorporation of Lpath shall be identical to the Certificate of Incorporation of Lpath as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time, Lpath shall file one or more amendments to its Certificate of Incorporation to (i) change the name of Lpath to “Apollo Endosurgery, Inc.” (the “Corporate Name Change”) and (ii) effect the Reverse Split (to the extent applicable and necessary).

(c) the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be identical to the Bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such Bylaws; and

(d) the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, shall be the directors and officers of Merger Sub as set forth in Section 5.14, after giving effect to the provisions of Section 5.14.

1.5 Conversion of Buyer Shares, Options and Warrants.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Lpath, Merger Sub, Buyer or any stockholder of Lpath or Buyer:

(i) any Buyer Capital Stock held as treasury stock or held or owned by Buyer, Merger Sub or any Subsidiary of Buyer immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; and

(ii) subject to Section 1.5(c), each share of Buyer Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(i) and excluding Dissenting Shares) shall be converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares of Lpath Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio.

(b) If any shares of Buyer Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option or the risk of forfeiture

under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement with Buyer, then the shares of Lpath Common Stock issued in exchange for such Buyer Common Stock will to the same extent be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option or risk of forfeiture, and the certificates representing such Lpath Common Stock shall accordingly be marked with appropriate legends. Buyer shall take all actions that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, Lpath is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in any such restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement.

(c) No fractional shares of Lpath Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of Buyer Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Lpath Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Lpath Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon surrender by such holder of a letter of transmittal in accordance with Section 1.7 and accompanying documents as required therein, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing price of a share of Lpath Common Stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market (or such other NASDAQ market on which the Lpath Common Stock then trades) on the date the Contemplated Transactions become effective.

(d) All Buyer Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Prior Plan and the Equity Incentive Plan and all Buyer Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be exchanged for options to purchase Lpath Common Stock or warrants to purchase Lpath Common Stock, as applicable, in accordance with Section 5.5.

(e) Each share of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall, as of the Effective Time, evidence ownership of such shares of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(f) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Buyer Capital Stock or Lpath Common Stock shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend or any subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split (including the Reverse Split), combination or exchange of shares, the Exchange Ratio shall be correspondingly adjusted to provide the holders of Buyer Capital Stock, Buyer Options and Buyer Warrants the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

1.6 Closing of Buyer’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (a) all shares of Buyer Common Stock, other than Dissenting Shares, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be treated in accordance with Section 1.5(a), and all holders of certificates representing shares of Buyer Common Stock, other than Dissenting Shares, that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of Buyer; and (b) the stock transfer books of Buyer shall be closed with respect to

all shares of Buyer Common Stock, other than Dissenting Shares, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Buyer Common Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any shares of Buyer Common Stock, other than Dissenting Shares, including any valid certificate representing any Buyer Preferred Stock previously converted into Buyer Common Stock in connection with the Preferred Stock Conversion, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Buyer Stock Certificate”) is presented to the Exchange Agent or to the Surviving Corporation, such Buyer Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Sections 1.5 and 1.8.

1.7 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Lpath and Buyer shall agree upon and select a reputable bank, transfer agent or trust company to act as exchange agent in the Contemplated Transactions (the “Exchange Agent”). At the Effective Time, Lpath shall deposit with the Exchange Agent: (i) certificates representing the Lpath Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.5(a) and (ii) cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.5(c). The shares of Lpath Common Stock and cash amounts so deposited with the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such shares, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund.”

(b) At or before the Effective Time, Buyer will deliver to Lpath a true, complete and accurate listing of all record holders of Buyer Stock Certificates at the Effective Time, including the number and class of shares of Buyer Capital Stock held by such record holder, and the number of shares of Lpath Common Stock such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.5. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Parties shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the Persons who were record holders of Buyer Stock Certificates immediately prior to the Effective Time: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Lpath may reasonably specify (including a provision confirming that delivery of Buyer Stock Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Buyer Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Buyer Stock Certificates to the Exchange Agent); and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of Buyer Stock Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares of Lpath Common Stock. Upon surrender of a Buyer Stock Certificate to the Exchange Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or Lpath: (A) the holder of such Buyer Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing the number of whole shares of Lpath Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5(a) (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Lpath Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5(c)); and (B) the Buyer Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.8(b), each Buyer Stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive shares of Lpath Common Stock (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Lpath Common Stock). If any Buyer Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Buyer may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the delivery of any shares of Lpath Common Stock, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Buyer Stock Certificate to provide an applicable affidavit with respect to such Buyer Stock Certificate.

(c) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Lpath Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Buyer Stock Certificate with respect to the Lpath Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive in the Contemplated Transactions until such holder surrenders such Buyer Stock Certificate or an affidavit of loss or destruction in lieu thereof in accordance with this Section 1.8 (at which time such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).

(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Buyer Stock Certificates as of the date 180 days after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Lpath upon demand, and any holders of Buyer Stock Certificates who have not theretofore surrendered their Buyer Stock Certificates in accordance with this Section 1.8 shall thereafter look only to Lpath for satisfaction of their claims for Lpath Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Lpath Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to shares of Lpath Common Stock.

(e) Each of the Exchange Agent and Lpath shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of any Buyer Stock Certificate such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld from such consideration under the Code or under any other applicable Legal Requirement and shall be entitled to request any reasonably appropriate Tax forms, including Form W-9 (or the appropriate Form W-8, as applicable), from any recipient of payments hereunder. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(f) No party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of any Buyer Stock Certificate or to any other Person with respect to any shares of Lpath Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or for any cash amounts delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement.

1.8 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Buyer Capital Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by stockholders who have exercised and perfected appraisal rights for such shares of Buyer Capital Stock in accordance with the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the per share amount of the merger consideration described in Section 1.5 attributable to such Dissenting Shares. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Buyer Capital Stock held by them in accordance with the DGCL, unless and until such stockholders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under the DGCL. All Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their right to appraisal of such shares of Buyer Capital Stock under the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to be converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the

Effective Time, the right to receive the number of shares of Lpath Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio attributable to such Dissenting Shares upon their surrender in the manner provided in Section 1.5.

(b) Buyer shall give Lpath prompt written notice of any demands by dissenting stockholders received by Buyer, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served on Buyer and any material correspondence received by Buyer in connection with such demands.

1.9 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by the Surviving Corporation to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Buyer, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be fully authorized, and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts (in the name of Buyer, Merger Sub and otherwise) to take such action.

1.10 Tax Consequences. For federal income tax purposes, the Merger is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The parties to this Agreement adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the Treasury Regulations.

ARTICLE 2

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER

Buyer represents and warrants to Lpath as follows, except as set forth in the written disclosure schedule delivered by Buyer to Lpath (the “Buyer Disclosure Schedule”). The Buyer Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Article 2. The disclosures in any section or subsection of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule shall qualify other sections and subsections in this Article 2 to the extent it is reasonably clear from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections and subsections. The inclusion of any information in the Buyer Disclosure Schedule (or any update thereto) shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material, has resulted in or would result in a Buyer Material Adverse Effect, or is outside the Ordinary Course of Business.

2.1 Subsidiaries; Due Organization; Etc.

(a) Buyer has no Subsidiaries, except for the Entities identified in Part 2.1(a) of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule (the “Buyer Subsidiaries”); and neither Buyer nor any of the other Entities identified in Part 2.1(a) of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule owns any capital stock of, or any equity interest of any nature in, any other Entity, other than the Entities identified in Part 2.1(a) of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule. Buyer has not agreed nor is obligated to make, nor is bound by any Contract under which it may become obligated to make, any future investment in or capital contribution to any other Entity. Buyer has not, at any time, been a general partner of, or has otherwise been liable for any of the debts or other obligations of, any general partnership, limited partnership or other Entity.

(b) Each of Buyer and the Buyer Subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has all necessary power and authority: (i) to conduct its business in the manner in which its business is currently being conducted; (ii) to own and use its assets in the manner in which its assets are currently owned and used; and (iii) to perform its obligations under all Contracts by which it is bound.

(c) Each of Buyer and the Buyer Subsidiaries is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation, and is in good standing, under the laws of all jurisdictions where the nature of its business requires such qualification other than in jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified individually or in the aggregate would not be reasonably expected to have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect.

2.2 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws; Charters and Codes of Conduct. Buyer has delivered to Lpath accurate and complete copies of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other charter and organizational documents, including all currently effective amendments thereto, for Buyer and each Buyer Subsidiary. Neither Buyer nor any Buyer Subsidiary has taken any action in breach or violation in any material respect of any of the material provisions of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other charter and organizational documents nor is in breach or violation in any material respect of any of the material provisions of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other charter and organizational documents.

2.3 Capitalization, Etc.

(a) The authorized capital stock of Buyer as of the date of this Agreement consists of (i) 139,393,738 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, of which 5,833,754 shares have been issued and are outstanding as of the date of this Agreement, and (ii) 107,574,742 shares of Buyer Preferred Stock, 10,006,345 of which have been designated Series A Preferred Stock, 45,431,126 of which have been designated Series B Preferred Stock, and 52,137,271 of which have been designated Series C Preferred Stock.

Buyer does not hold any shares of its capital stock in its treasury. All of the outstanding shares of Buyer Capital Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable. Except as set forth in Part 2.3(a)(i) of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule, none of the outstanding shares of Buyer Capital Stock is entitled or subject to any preemptive right, right of participation, right of maintenance or any similar right and none of the outstanding shares of Buyer Capital Stock is subject to any right of first refusal in favor of Buyer. Except as contemplated herein or as set forth in Part 2.3(a) of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule, there is no Buyer Contract relating to the voting or registration of, or restricting any Person from purchasing, selling, pledging or otherwise disposing of (or granting any option or similar right with respect to), any Buyer Capital Stock. Buyer is not under any obligation, nor is it bound by any Contract pursuant to which it may become obligated, to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any outstanding shares of Buyer Capital Stock or other securities. Part 2.3(a)(ii) of the

Buyer Disclosure Schedule accurately and completely describes all repurchase rights held by Buyer with respect to shares of Buyer Capital Stock (including shares issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options) and specifies which of those repurchase rights are currently exercisable.

Of such reserved shares of Buyer Common Stock, 2,103,288 shares have been issued pursuant to the exercise of outstanding options, 19,511,431 shares have been granted and are currently outstanding and none are available for future issuance pursuant to the Prior Plan.

4.5 No Solicitation.

(a) From an after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 9, each Party agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, and each Party will use its reasonable best efforts to cause each of its the officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, Representatives, consultants or other agents retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage, induce or knowingly facilitate the communication, making, submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry or take any action that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; (ii) furnish any information regarding such Party to any Person in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; (iii) engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal (subject to Section 5.2 and Section 5.3); (v) execute or enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any Contract contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Transaction; or (vi) grant any waiver or release under any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement (other

than to the other Party); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.5(a), prior to the adoption and approval of this Agreement by a Party’s stockholders (i.e., the Required Lpath Stockholder Vote, in the instance of Lpath), such Party may furnish nonpublic information regarding such Party to, and enter into discussions or negotiations with, any Person in response to a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal, which such Party’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with a nationally recognized independent financial advisor, if any, and its outside legal counsel, constitutes, or is reasonably likely to result in, a Superior Offer (and is not withdrawn) if: (A) neither such Party nor any Representative of such Party shall have breached this Section 4.5; (B) the Board of Directors of such Party concludes in good faith based on the advice of outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action is reasonably likely to result in a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of such Party under applicable Legal Requirements; (C) at least five (5) Business Days prior to furnishing any such nonpublic information to, or entering into discussions with, such Person, such Party gives the other Party written notice of the identity of such Person and of such Party’s intention to furnish nonpublic information to, or enter into discussions with, such Person; (D) such Party receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement containing provisions (including nondisclosure provisions, use restrictions, non-solicitation provisions, no hire provisions and “standstill” provisions) at least as favorable to such Party as those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; and (E) at least five (5) Business Days prior to furnishing any such nonpublic information to such Person, such Party furnishes such nonpublic information to Buyer (to the extent such nonpublic information has not been previously furnished by such Party to the other Party). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party acknowledges and agrees that, in the event any Representative of such Party (whether or not such Representative is purporting to act on behalf of such Party) takes any action that, if taken by such Party, would constitute a breach of this Section 4.5 by such Party, the taking of such action by such Representative shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 4.5 by such Party for purposes of this Agreement.

(b) If any Party or any Representative of such Party receives an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry at any time during the Pre-Closing Period, then such Party shall promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after such Party becomes aware of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry) advise the other Party orally and in writing of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry (including the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, and the terms thereof). Such Party shall keep the other Party informed in all material respects with respect to the status and terms of any such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry and any modification or proposed modification thereto.

ARTICLE 5

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

5.1 Registration Statement; Proxy Statement/Prospectus/Information Statement.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Parties shall prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC a Form S-4 Registration Statement, in which a Proxy Statement for the Lpath stockholders will be included as a prospectus. Lpath covenants and agrees that the Proxy Statement, including any pro forma financial statements included therein (and the letter to stockholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy included therewith), will not, at the time that the Proxy Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto is filed with the SEC or is first mailed to the stockholders of Lpath, at the time of the Lpath Stockholders’ Meeting and at the Effective Time, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Lpath further covenants to keep the Form S-4 Registration Statement effective for so long as necessary to complete the Merger. Prior to the Form S-4 Registration Statement being declared effective, (1) Lpath shall use its reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver to Xxxxxx and to Xxxxxxxxx the applicable “Tax Representation Letter” referenced in Section 5.11(c); and (2) Lpath shall use its reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver to Xxxxxxxxx and to Xxxxxx the applicable “Tax Representation Letter” referenced in Section 5.11(c). Following the delivery of the Tax Representation Letters pursuant to the preceding sentence, (x) Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause Xxxxxx to deliver to it a tax opinion satisfying the requirements of Item 601 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act; and (y) Lpath shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause Xxxxxxxxx to deliver to it a tax opinion satisfying the requirements of Item 601 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act. In rendering such opinions, each of such counsel shall be entitled to rely on the Tax Representation Letters referred to in this Section 5.1(a) and Section 5.11(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lpath makes no covenant, representation or warranty with respect to statements made in the Proxy Statement (and the letter to stockholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy included therewith), if any, based on information furnished in writing by Buyer specifically for inclusion therein. Each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Form S-4 Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement to comply with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff and to have the Form S-4 Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after it is filed with the SEC. Each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to Lpath’s stockholders as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. Each Party shall promptly furnish to the other Party all information concerning such Party and such Party’s subsidiaries and such Party’s stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.1. If any event relating to Lpath or Buyer occurs, or if Lpath or Buyer becomes aware of any information, that should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement, then such Party shall promptly inform the other Party thereof and shall cooperate fully in filing such amendment or supplement with the SEC and, if appropriate, in mailing such amendment or supplement to Lpath’s stockholders.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, Lpath shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals needed to ensure that the Lpath Common Stock to be issued in the Contemplated Transactions (to the extent required) shall be registered or qualified or exempt from registration or qualification under the securities law of every jurisdiction of the United States in which any registered holder of Buyer Capital Stock has an address of record on the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote pursuant to the Lpath Stockholders’ Meeting; provided, however, that Lpath shall not be required: (i) to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not now qualified; or (ii) to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

(c) Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Lpath and provide, and require its Representatives, advisors, accountants and attorneys to provide, Lpath and its Representatives, advisors, accountants and attorneys, with all true, correct and complete information regarding Buyer that is required by law to be included in the Form S-4 Registration Statement or reasonably requested from Buyer to be included in the Form S-4 Registration Statement. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to Lpath a letter of Buyer’s independent accounting firm, dated no more than two (2) Business Days before the date on which the Form S-4 Registration Statement becomes effective (and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lpath), that is customary in scope and substance for letters delivered by independent public accountants in connection with registration statements similar to the S-4 Registration Statement.

5.2 Buyer Stockholder Written Consent.

(a) Promptly after the S-4 Registration Statement shall have been declared effective under the Securities Act, and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, Buyer shall obtain the approval by written consent from certain of those Buyer stockholders sufficient for the Required Buyer Stockholder Vote in lieu of a meeting pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL for purposes of (i) adopting this Agreement and approving the Contemplated Transactions, including the Preferred Stock Conversion, (ii) acknowledging that the approval given thereby is irrevocable and that such stockholder is aware of its rights to demand appraisal for its shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, a copy of which was attached thereto, and that such stockholder has received and read a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL, and (iii) acknowledging that by its approval of the Merger it is not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to its shares in connection with the Merger and thereby waives any rights to receive payment of the fair value of its capital stock under the DGCL. Under no circumstances shall Buyer assert that any other approval or consent is necessary by its stockholders to approve the Merger or this Agreement.

(b) Buyer agrees that, subject to Section 5.2(c): (i) Buyer’s Board of Directors shall recommend that Buyer’s stockholders vote to adopt and approve this Agreement and the Merger and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit such approval within the time set forth in Section 5.2(a) (the recommendation of Buyer’s Board of Directors that Buyer’s stockholders vote to adopt and approve this Agreement being referred to as the “Buyer Board Recommendation”); and (ii) the Buyer Board Recommendation shall not be withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to Lpath, and no resolution by the Board of Directors of Buyer or

any committee thereof to withdraw or modify the Buyer Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Lpath shall be adopted or proposed.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.2(b), if, at any time prior to the approval of this Agreement by the Required Buyer Stockholder Vote, Buyer receives a bona fide written Superior Offer, Buyer’s Board of Directors may withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Buyer Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Lpath if, but only if, Buyer’s Board of Directors determined in good faith, based on such matters as it deems relevant following consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to withdraw, withhold, amend, or modify such recommendation would result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, that Lpath receives written notice from Buyer confirming that Buyer’s Board of Directors has determined to change its recommendation at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the Buyer Board Recommendation being so withdrawn, withheld, amended or modified in a manner adverse to Lpath. Such notice shall describe in reasonable details the reasons for such intention and shall specify the material terms and conditions of such Superior Offer, including the identity of the Person making such offer (and attaching the most current and complete version of any written agreement or other document relating thereto).

(d) Buyer’s obligation to solicit the consent of its stockholders to sign the Buyer Stockholder Written Consent in accordance with Section 5.2(a) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Superior Offer or other Acquisition Proposal, or by any withdrawal or modification of the Buyer Board Recommendation

5.3 Lpath Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) Lpath shall take all action necessary under applicable Legal Requirements to call, give notice of and hold a meeting of the holders of Lpath Common Stock to vote on the Contemplated Transactions, the issuance of Lpath Common Stock and the Reverse Split (such meeting, the “Lpath Stockholders’ Meeting”). The Lpath Stockholders’ Meeting shall be held as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, and in any event within forty five (45) days after the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act (other than to the extent that the Form S-4 Registration Statement is subject to any stop order or proceeding (or threatened proceeding by the SEC) seeking a stop order with respect to the Form S-4 Registration Statement, in which case such forty five (45) day period shall be tolled for the earlier of forty five (45) days or so long as such stop order remains in effect or proceeding or threatened proceeding remains pending). Lpath shall take reasonable measures to ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with the Lpath Stockholders’ Meeting are solicited in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements.

(b) Lpath agrees that, subject to Section 5.3(c): (i) Lpath’s Board of Directors shall recommend that the holders of Lpath Common Stock vote to approve the Contemplated Transactions, the issuance of Lpath Common Stock and the Reverse Split and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit such approval within the timeframe set forth in Section 5.3(a) above, (ii) the Proxy Statement shall include a statement to the effect that the Board of Directors of Lpath recommends that Lpath’s stockholders vote to approve the Contemplated Transactions,

the issuance of Lpath Common Stock and the Reverse Split (the recommendation of Lpath’s Board of Directors that Lpath’s stockholders vote to approve the Contemplated Transactions, the issuance of Lpath Common Stock and the Reverse Split being referred to as the “Lpath Board Recommendation”); and (iii) the Lpath Board Recommendation shall not be withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to Buyer, and no resolution by the Board of Directors of Lpath or any committee thereof to withdraw or modify the Lpath Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Buyer shall be adopted or proposed.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(b), if at any time prior to the approval of the issuance of Lpath Common Stock by the stockholders of Lpath by receipt of the Required Lpath Stockholder Vote, Lpath receives a bona fide written Superior Offer, Lpath’s Board of Directors may withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Lpath Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Buyer or recommend any Acquisition Transaction (collectively an “Lpath Board Adverse Recommendation Change”) if, but only if, Lpath’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, based on such matters as it deems relevant following consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to withhold, amend, withdraw or modify such recommendation would result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, that Buyer receives written notice from Lpath confirming that Lpath’s Board of Directors intends to change its recommendation at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the Lpath Board Recommendation being withdrawn, withheld, amended or modified in a manner adverse to Buyer. Such notice shall describe in reasonable details the reasons for such intention and shall specify the material terms and conditions of such Superior Offer, including the identity of the Person making such offer (and attaching the most current and complete version of any written agreement or other document relating thereto).

(d) Lpath’s obligation to call, give notice of and hold the Lpath Stockholders’ Meeting in accordance with Section 5.3(a) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Superior Offer or Acquisition Proposal, or by any withdrawal or modification of the Lpath Board Recommendation.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Lpath or its Board of Directors from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of Lpath a position as contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act (other than Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act), and (ii) making a “stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of Lpath pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, provided, however, that (A) in the case of each of the foregoing clause “(i)”, any such disclosure or public statement shall be deemed to be an Lpath Board Adverse Recommendation Change subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless Lpath’s Board of Directors reaffirms the Lpath Board Recommendation in such disclosure or public statement or within seven (7) Business Days of such disclosure or public statement; (B) in the case of clause “(ii),” any such disclosure or public statement shall be deemed to be an Lpath Board Adverse Recommendation Change subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless Lpath’s Board of Directors reaffirms the Lpath Board Recommendation in such disclosure or public statement or within seven (7) Business Days of such disclosure or public statement; and (C) Lpath shall not affect an Lpath Board Adverse Recommendation Change unless specifically permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 5.3(c).

5.4 Regulatory Approvals. Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file or otherwise submit, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, all applications, notices, reports and other documents reasonably required to be filed by such Party with or otherwise submitted by such Party to any Governmental Body with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, and to submit promptly any additional information requested by any such Governmental Body. Buyer and Lpath shall respond as promptly as is practicable to respond in compliance with: (i) any inquiries or requests received from the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice for information or documentation; and (ii) any inquiries or requests received from any state attorney general, foreign antitrust or competition authority or other Governmental Body in connection with antitrust or competition matters.

5.5 Buyer Options and Warrants.

(a) Subject to Section 5.5(c), at the Effective Time, each Buyer Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Prior Plan and the Equity Incentive Plan, whether or not vested, shall be converted into and become an option to purchase Lpath Common Stock, and Lpath shall assume the Prior Plan and the Equity Incentive Plan and each such Buyer Option in accordance with the terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) of the Prior Plan and the Equity Incentive Plan and the terms of the stock option agreement by which such Buyer Option is evidenced. All rights with respect to Buyer Common Stock under Buyer Options assumed by Lpath shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to Lpath Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (i) each Buyer Option assumed by Lpath may be exercised solely for Lpath Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of Lpath Common Stock subject to each Buyer Option assumed by Lpath shall be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock that were subject to such Buyer Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Lpath Common Stock; (iii) the per share exercise price for the Lpath Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Buyer Option assumed by Lpath shall be determined by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of the shares of Buyer Common Stock subject to such Buyer Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (iv) any restriction on the exercise of any Buyer Option assumed by Lpath shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Buyer Option shall otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that: (A) to the extent provided under the terms of a Buyer Option, such Buyer Option assumed by Lpath in accordance with this Section 5.5(a) shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to Lpath Common Stock subsequent to the Effective Time; and (B) Lpath’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of Buyer’s Board of Directors or any committee thereof with respect to each Buyer Option assumed by Lpath. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.5(a), the conversion of each Buyer Option (regardless of whether such option qualifies as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) into an option to purchase shares of Lpath Common Stock shall be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1, such that the conversion of a Buyer

Option shall not constitute a “modification” of such Buyer Option for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code.

(b) Lpath shall file with the SEC, no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Time, a registration statement on Form S-8, if available for use by Lpath, relating to the shares of Lpath Common Stock issuable with respect to Buyer Options assumed by Lpath in accordance with Section 5.5(a).

(c) Subject to Section 5.5(d), at the Effective Time, each Buyer Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding Buyer Warrants that are deemed to have been automatically exercised pursuant to their terms as a result of the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions), if any, shall be converted into and become a warrant to purchase shares of Lpath Common Stock and Lpath shall assume each such Buyer Warrant in accordance with its terms. All rights with respect to Buyer Common Stock under Buyer Warrants assumed by Lpath shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to shares of Lpath Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (i) each Buyer Warrant assumed by Lpath may be exercised solely for shares of Lpath Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of Lpath Common Stock subject to each Buyer Warrant assumed by Lpath shall be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock, or the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Buyer Warrants, that were subject to such Buyer Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Lpath Common Stock; (iii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Lpath Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Buyer Warrant assumed by Lpath shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price of Buyer Common Stock subject to such Buyer Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (iv) any restriction on any Buyer Warrant assumed by Lpath shall continue in full force and effect and the term and other provisions of such Buyer Warrant shall otherwise remain unchanged.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, Buyer shall take all actions that may be necessary (under the Prior Plan, the Equity Incentive Plan, the Buyer Warrants and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 5.5 and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, holders of Buyer Options and Buyer Warrants have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 5.5.

5.6 Employee Benefits. Buyer and Lpath shall cause Lpath to comply with terms of any employment, severance, retention, change of control, or similar agreement specified on Part 3.11(c) of the Lpath Disclosure Schedule as being applicable to this Section 5.6, subject to the provisions of such agreements.

5.7 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) From the Effective Time through the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, each of Lpath and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of Lpath or

Buyer (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Costs”), incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the D&O Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of Lpath or Buyer, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL for directors or officers of Delaware corporations. Each D&O Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from Lpath and the Surviving Corporation, jointly and severally, upon receipt by Lpath or the Surviving Corporation from the D&O Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided, that any person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, to the extent then required by the DGCL, as applicable, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.

(b) The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of each of Lpath and the Surviving Corporation shall contain, and Lpath shall cause the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to so contain, provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of each of Lpath and Buyer than are presently set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Lpath and Buyer, applicable, which provisions shall not be amended, modified or repealed for a period of six years’ time from the Effective Time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were officers or directors of Lpath.

(c) Lpath shall purchase an insurance policy with an effective date as of the Closing which maintains in effect for six years from the Closing the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by Lpath; provided, that Lpath may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are not materially less favorable.

(d) Lpath shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the persons referred to in this Section 5.7 in connection with their enforcement of their rights provided in this Section 5.7.

(e) The provisions of this Section 5.7 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current and former officers and directors of Lpath and Buyer by law, charter, statute, bylaw or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives. In addition to the rights provided by this Agreement, to the extent that current and former officers and directors of Lpath have existing rights under any agreement between such officer or director and Lpath with respect to indemnification, the Surviving Corporation will take all good faith efforts necessary to maintain in place such other agreement and to indemnify such officer or director to the maximum extent possible under this Agreement as well as such other agreement.

(f) In the event Lpath or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the

continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Lpath or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.7.

5.8 Additional Agreements. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be taken all actions necessary to consummate the Contemplated Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party to this Agreement: (i) shall make all filings and other submissions (if any) and give all notices (if any) required to be made and given by such Party in connection with the Contemplated Transactions; (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each Consent (if any) reasonably required to be obtained (pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement or Contract, or otherwise) by such Party in connection with the Contemplated Transactions or for such Contract to remain in full force and effect; (iii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to lift any injunction prohibiting, or any other legal bar to, the Contemplated Transactions; and (iv) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions precedent to the consummation of this Agreement.

5.9 Disclosure. Without limiting any of either Party’s obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement, each Party shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or any Representative of such Party to, issue any press release or make any disclosure (to any customers or employees of such Party, to the public or otherwise) regarding the Contemplated Transactions unless: (a) the other Party shall have approved such press release or disclosure in writing; or (b) such Party shall have determined in good faith, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, that such disclosure is required by applicable Legal Requirements and, to the extent practicable, before such press release or disclosure is issued or made, such Party advises the other Party of, and consults with the other Party regarding, the text of such press release or disclosure; provided, however, that each of Buyer and Lpath may make any public statement in response to specific questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst conference calls, so long as any such statements are consistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by Buyer or Lpath in compliance with this Section 5.9.

5.10 Listing. Lpath shall use its commercially reasonable efforts: (i) to maintain its existing listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market until the Closing Date and to obtain approval of the listing of the combined company on The NASDAQ Capital Market; (ii) without derogating from the generality of the requirements of clause “(i)” and to the extent required by the rules and regulations of NASDAQ, to (x) prepare and submit to NASDAQ a notification form for the listing of the shares of Lpath Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Contemplated Transactions and (y) to cause such shares to be approved for listing (subject to notice of issuance); and (iii) to the extent required by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5110, to file an initial listing application for the Lpath Common Stock on NASDAQ (the “Nasdaq Listing Application”) and to cause such Nasdaq Listing Application to be conditionally approved prior to the Effective Time. Buyer agrees to pay all NASDAQ fees associated with the NASDAQ Listing Application. Buyer will cooperate with Lpath as reasonably requested by Lpath with respect to the Nasdaq Listing Application and promptly furnish to Lpath all information concerning Buyer and its stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.10.

5.11 Tax Matters.

(a) Lpath, Merger Sub and Buyer shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to qualify, and agree not to, and not to permit or cause any affiliate or any Subsidiary to, take any actions or cause any action to be taken which would reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying, as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code.

(b) This Agreement is intended to constitute, and the parties hereto hereby adopt this Agreement as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the Treasury Regulations. The Parties shall treat and shall not take any tax reporting position inconsistent with the treatment of the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal, state and other relevant Tax purposes, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code

(c) Lpath shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver to Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx a “Tax Representation Letter,” dated as of the Closing Date and signed by an officer of Lpath, containing representations of Lpath, and Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver to Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx a “Tax Representation Letter,” dated as of the Closing Date and signed by an officer of Buyer, containing representations of Buyer, in each case as shall be reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable Xxxxxx to render the opinion described in Section 8.7 of this Agreement and Xxxxxxxxx to render the opinion described in Section 7.8 of this Agreement.
