the Purchased Assets) under any agreement or any commitment to which GliaMed is a party or by which
GliaMed is bound or by which any of its properties or assets are bound. GliaMed is not required
under federal, state, foreign or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization
or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for
it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Ancillary
Agreements. The business of GliaMed is not being conducted in violation of any laws, ordinances or
regulations of any governmental entity, where such violation would constitute a Material Adverse
Effect.
(d) Title to Purchased Assets. GliaMed has the sole right, title and interest in and
to the Purchased Assets, free and clear of all Encumbrances, except Encumbrances for taxes not yet
due or delinquent, statutory Encumbrances arising in the ordinary course of business by operation
of law, and minor Encumbrances that do not materially impair the value of the property subject to
such Encumbrance. The Purchased Assets constitute all of the assets and rights held by GliaMed
relating to the Compounds.
(e) Assigned Agreements. Set forth on Schedule 3.1(e) is a complete and accurate list
of all licenses, contracts and other agreements pursuant to which GliaMed has either obtained from
a Third Party or granted to a Third Party any material rights or obligations arising under or
relating to the Compound, any Products or GliaMed Technology, including, without limitation, any
licenses or assignments for any Patent Rights, as well as agreements with any Contract Research
Organization, consultant or other Third Party (collectively, a “CRO”) with whom GliaMed
contracted for research, development or manufacturing services related to the Compound or GliaMed
Technology prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the “Assigned Agreements”). GliaMed is
not in material breach of any Assigned Agreement and, to GliaMed’s Knowledge, no counterparty is in
material breach of any such agreement. No party to any Assigned Agreement has provided written
notice of termination or non-renewal of any such agreement and, to GliaMed’s Knowledge, no Third
Party: (i) has expressed any intention to terminate or not renew, or (ii) has any reasonable
grounds on which to terminate any of the Assigned Agreements.
(f) Intellectual Property.
(i) GliaMed has not received any written or, to its Knowledge, oral claim of ownership,
inventorship or patent infringement adverse to GliaMed from any Third Party (including, without
limitation, from current or former officers, directors, employees, consultants, personnel or agents
of GliaMed or any predecessor, collaborator or partner of GliaMed) with respect to the Purchased
Assets, and GliaMed is not aware of any reasonable
basis for any such claim. No Purchased Assets are subject to, or were developed pursuant to,
any funding agreement with any government, government agency, university or college facilities.
13
(ii) To GliaMed’s Knowledge, the development, manufacture, offer for sale, sale of the Product
or use of the GliaMed Technology or the other Purchased Assets does not infringe or misappropriate
the Intellectual Property of others. To the Knowledge of GliaMed, none of the GliaMed Technology
is being infringed by activities, products or services of, or is being misappropriated by, any
Third Party.
(iii) No issued patent or patent application included in the GliaMed Patent Rights has been
declared or adjudicated invalid, null or void, or its subject matter declared unpatentable or
finally rejected as unpatentable without recourse for appeal or without further right for refiling
or continued prosecution, in any judicial or administrative proceeding. GliaMed is not aware of
any prior art or other facts which would invalidate or render unenforceable any of the material
claims comprising the GliaMed Patent Rights.
(iv) GliaMed has taken reasonable precautions to file and prosecute all patents and patent
applications included in the GliaMed Patent Rights in accordance with all applicable rules and
regulations, including the rules and regulations respecting full disclosure in the relevant patent
office, and to its Knowledge, GliaMed is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would render
any of the GliaMed issued patents, unenforceable, or subject La Jolla to any liability for
inequitable conduct. GliaMed has duly recorded all assignments and transfers of title to GliaMed
of any of the GliaMed Patent Rights in the USPTO or other appropriate foreign patent office or
other governmental agency.
(g) Inventory. GliaMed has sole ownership, possession and/or control of the Inventory
set forth on Exhibit G, and has no obligations to warehousemen, distributors or other
Persons for, or related to, the manufacture, storage, distribution, sale or marketing of the
Inventory, except for Assumed Obligations. The quantities of the respective items of Inventory are
as stated on Exhibit G. At the time of storage and, to GliaMed’s Knowledge through the
date hereof, the Inventory conformed to the specifications for the Compound or Product and has been
stored under conditions designed to ensure that the Compound or Product will comply with such
specifications and is located at the locations set forth on Exhibit G.
(h) No Executory Payments. GliaMed has no current or otherwise anticipated
obligations or liabilities for any royalty, commission or other executory payment agreements,
arrangements or understandings, applicable to the Purchased Assets, including, without limitation,
under the Assigned Agreements.
(i) No Litigation. There is no litigation or proceeding, in law or in equity, and
there are no proceedings or governmental investigations before any commission or other
administrative authority, pending, or, to GliaMed’s Knowledge, threatened, against GliaMed or its
Affiliates, or with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or the use
of the Purchased Assets (whether used by La Jolla after the Closing or by GliaMed prior thereto).
To its Knowledge, GliaMed and its Affiliates are in, and since their inception have been in,
compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, the
rules and regulations of any Regulatory Authority with respect to the
Registrations, research, development, clinical testing, manufacture, sale, labeling, storing,
testing, distribution, handling of prescription drug samples, record-keeping, reporting, import,
export, advertising and promotion of or for the Products, except such that, individually or in the
aggregate, the noncompliance therewith could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
14
(j) Regulatory Matters.
(i) All Registrations that GliaMed has obtained or that are pending are listed on Schedule
3.1(j).
(ii) None of GliaMed, its Affiliates, nor to GliaMed’s Knowledge, any of their respective
directors, officers, employees or other agents (acting on behalf of any GliaMed or its Affiliates)
is currently, or has been, excluded or debarred under any Applicable Law or otherwise made
ineligible to participate in any United States health care programs or similar programs in the
United States or elsewhere.
(iii) None of GliaMed or its Affiliates have been notified in writing by any CRO or any
Regulatory Authority of any material failure (or any material investigation with respect thereto)
by them or any licensor, licensee, partner or distributor to comply with, or maintain systems and
programs to ensure compliance with, any Applicable Laws.
(iv) No Product or product candidate manufactured, tested, distributed, held and/or marketed
by GliaMed relating to the Compound or the other GliaMed Technology has been recalled, withdrawn,
suspended or discontinued (whether voluntarily or otherwise) by a Regulatory Authority since their
inception. GliaMed, prior to the execution of this Agreement, provided to La Jolla access to all
material reports and all material information about adverse drug experiences and medical device
reports pertaining to the Compound in the possession or control of GliaMed.
(v) To the Knowledge of GliaMed, the Third Party contractors manufacturing Products have all
of the material Registrations necessary for the manufacture of such Products and are not in breach
of or default in any material respect under any such material Registrations.
(k) Investment Representations. GliaMed understands that the Shares are being offered
and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of federal and
state securities laws and La Jolla is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations,
warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of GliaMed set forth in this Section
3.1(k) to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of GliaMed to acquire
the Shares. GliaMed understands that no United States federal or state agency or any government or
governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.
(i) Sophisticated Investor. GliaMed, both alone and with the assistance of Xxxxx
Xxxxxxx, who is serving as the purchaser representative of GliaMed, has such experience in business
and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the
Shares. GliaMed is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer
under Section 15 of the Exchange Act and GliaMed is not a broker-dealer. GliaMed acknowledges
that an investment in the Shares is speculative and involves a high degree of risk.
15
(ii) Acquisition for Investment. GliaMed is purchasing the Shares solely for its own
account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with distribution. GliaMed does not have
a present intention to sell or distribute any of the Shares, nor a present arrangement (whether or
not legally binding) or intention to effect any distribution of any of the Shares to or through any
person or entity. GliaMed acknowledges that it (i) has such knowledge and experience in financial
and business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in
La Jolla, (ii) is able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment in the Shares and
(iii) has been given full access to such records of La Jolla and to the officers of La Jolla as
GliaMed has requested to conduct its due diligence investigation.
(iii) Rule 144. GliaMed understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless
such Shares are registered under the Securities Act (recognizing that La Jolla has no obligation
hereunder to effect such registration) or an exemption from registration is available. GliaMed
acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the SEC, as amended,
promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and that GliaMed has been advised
that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. GliaMed understands that to the
extent that Rule 144 is not available, it will be unable to sell any Shares without either
registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration
requirement.
(l) Certain Fees. GliaMed has not employed any broker or finder or incurred any
liability for any brokerage or investment banking fees, commissions, finders’ structuring fees,
financial advisory fees or other similar fees in connection with this Agreement.
3.2 Representations and Warranties of La Jolla. La Jolla hereby

action and no further consent or authorization of La Jolla, or its Board of
Directors or stockholders is required. When executed and delivered by La Jolla, this

bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws
relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other
equitable principles of general application.
16
(c) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements by La Jolla and the consummation by La Jolla of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, and the issuance of the Shares as contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and
will not (i) violate or conflict with any provision of the La Jolla Certificate of Incorporation or
the Bylaws, each as amended to date, subject to the filing of the Series E Certificate of
Designations, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse
of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture,
note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which La Jolla is a party or by

or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any
filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver
or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, issue and sell
the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof (other than the filing of a Form D pursuant to
Regulation D and counterpart filings under applicable state securities laws, rules or regulations).
The business of La Jolla is not being conducted in violation of any laws, ordinances or
regulations of any governmental entity.
(d) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of La Jolla and the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock and all other outstanding equity securities (including options,

forth in this Agreement and the Public Filings, no shares of Common Stock or any other security of
La Jolla are entitled to preemptive rights or registration rights and there are no outstanding
options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever
relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital stock of La Jolla.
(e) Status of Jewel. The outstanding capital stock of Jewel is wholly-owned by La
Jolla without Encumbrances of any nature and there are no options, warrants, convertible securities
or other rights to obtain shares of Jewel’s capital stock held by any other party. Jewel does not
have any liabilities, obligations, debts or expenses other than as set forth in this Agreement.
17
(f) Issuance of Securities. The issuance of the Shares has been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate action and, when the conditions to their issuance under this Agreement have
been met, the Shares will be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, free
and clear of all Encumbrances and rights of refusal of any kind. When the shares of Common Stock
underlying the Series E Preferred Stock are issued upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock,
the holders shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock and such shares
will be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all
Encumbrances and rights of refusal of any kind. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall have
the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth in the Series E Certificate of
Designations. The certificates to be used to evidence the Series E Preferred Stock will comply in
all material respects with all applicable legal requirements, the requirements of La Jolla’s
Certificate of Incorporation and the Series E Certificate of Designations (collectively, the
“Certificate”) and the Bylaws of La Jolla (the “Bylaws”).
(g) Authorization of Series E Certificate of Designations. The Series E Certificate
of Designations, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, has been duly and validly
authorized by La Jolla and, when filed by La Jolla with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware, will be legally valid and effective and enforceable against La Jolla in accordance with
its terms.
(h) Commission Documents, Financial Statements. The Common Stock of La Jolla is
registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), and, since January 1, 2010, La Jolla has timely filed all reports,
schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant
to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (all of the foregoing including filings
incorporated by reference therein being referred to herein as the “Commission Documents”).
At the times of their respective filings, the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009
(the “Form 10-K”) and any other report, schedule, form, statement or other document filed
by La Jolla with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act subsequent to
December 31, 2009 and prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, quarterly reports
on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010
(collectively with the Form 10-K, the “Public Filings”) complied in all material respects
with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated
thereunder and other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to such
documents, and the Public Filings did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their
respective dates, the financial statements of La Jolla included in the Commission Documents
complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the
published rules and regulations of the SEC or other applicable rules and regulations with respect
thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved
(except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii)
in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be
condensed or summary statements), and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated
financial position of La Jolla as of the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows
for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit
adjustments and any potential non-cash valuation adjustments relating to the transactions
consummated under the Prior Agreement).
18
(i) No Material Adverse Change. Since September 30, 2010, La Jolla has not
experienced or suffered any Material Adverse Effect.
(j) No Undisclosed Liabilities. Since September 30, 2010, La Jolla has not incurred
any liabilities, obligations, claims or losses (whether liquidated or unliquidated, secured or
unsecured, absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) other than those incurred in the ordinary
course of La Jolla’s businesses, in pursuit of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or
which, individually or in the aggregate, are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(k) No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. Since September 30, 2010, no event or
circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to La Jolla or its businesses, properties,
prospects, operations or financial condition, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation,
requires public disclosure or announcement by La Jolla but which has not been so publicly announced
or disclosed.
(l) Title to Assets. La Jolla has good and valid title to all of its real and
personal property reflected in the Public Filings, free and clear of any Encumbrances, except for
those that, individually or in the aggregate, do not cause a Material Adverse Effect. Any leases
of La Jolla are valid and subsisting and in full force and effect.
(m) Actions Pending. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation, arbitration,
alternate dispute resolution proceeding or other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of La
Jolla, threatened against La Jolla that questions the validity of this Agreement or any of the
other Ancillary Agreements or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action
taken or to be taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Except as set forth in the Public Filings, there
is no action, suit, claim, investigation, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution proceeding or
other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of La Jolla, threatened against or involving La Jolla
or any of its properties or assets, which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be
expected, if adversely determined, to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding
orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or governmental or
regulatory body against La Jolla or any officers or directors of La Jolla in their capacities as
such, which individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. None of La Jolla, its Affiliates or, to La Jolla’s Knowledge, any of their
respective directors, officers, employees or agents (acting on behalf of any La Jolla or its
Affiliates) is currently, or has been, excluded or debarred under any Applicable Law or otherwise
made ineligible to participate in any United States health care programs or similar programs in the
United States or elsewhere.
(n) Compliance with Law. La Jolla has been and is presently conducting its businesses
in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local governmental laws, rules, regulations
and ordinances, except such that, individually or in the aggregate, the noncompliance therewith
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. La Jolla has all franchises,
permits, licenses, consents and other governmental or regulatory authorizations and
approvals necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it unless the
failure to possess such franchises, permits, licenses, consents and other governmental or
regulatory authorizations and approvals, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
19
(o) Taxes. La Jolla has accurately prepared and filed all federal, state and other
tax returns required by law to be filed by it, has paid or made provisions for the payment of all
taxes shown to be due and all additional assessments, and adequate provisions have been and are
reflected in the financial statements of La Jolla for all current taxes and other charges to which
La Jolla is subject and which are not currently due and payable. To La Jolla’s knowledge, none of
the federal income tax returns of La Jolla have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service. La
Jolla has no knowledge of any additional assessments, adjustments or contingent tax liability
(whether federal or state) of any nature whatsoever, whether pending or threatened against La Jolla
for any period, nor of any basis for any such assessment, adjustment or contingency.
(p) Certain Fees. La Jolla has not employed any broker or finder or incurred any
liability for any brokerage or investment banking fees, commissions, finders’ structuring fees,
financial advisory fees or other similar fees in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby or pursuant to the Ancillary Agreements.
IV. COVENANTS.
4.1
Confidentiality. From and after the Closing, GliaMed and its
Affiliates shall keep confidential and not disclose to any Third Party or use for
their own benefit or the benefit of any Third Party, any information or data
included within the Purchased Assets. From and after the Closing until the
delivery of the Pre-Clinical Shares to GliaMed, La Jolla and Jewel shall keep
confidential any scientific or technical information or data included within the
Purchased Assets that would, as of the Closing, constitute a “trade secret” under
the
California Uniform Trade Secrets Act, and shall provide that any disclosure of
such information to a Third Party shall be made only pursuant to a non-disclosure
agreement in customary form. The obligations under this Section 4.1 shall not
apply to information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public
without breach of the commitment provided for in this Section; (ii) is disclosed by
a Third Party without breach of confidentiality obligation to the other party, or
(iii) is required to be disclosed by law, order or regulation of a court or
tribunal or non-tax government authority;
provided, however, that in any such case
under (iii) and if permitted by law, the disclosing party shall notify the other
party as early as reasonably practicable prior to disclosure to allow the other
party to take appropriate measures to preserve the confidentiality of such
information.
4.2 Inspection of Records. GliaMed agrees to use commercially
reasonable efforts to facilitate access for La Jolla and Jewel to records retained
by any CRO with whom GliaMed contracted for research, development or manufacturing
services related to the Compound or GliaMed Technology prior to
the Closing Date (the “CRO Records”). For a three-year period
following the Closing Date, and upon written request from La Jolla or Jewel,
GliaMed shall authorize such CRO to permit access to La Jolla or Jewel of any and
all CRO Records retained by such CRO and shall, at the request of La Jolla or
Jewel, direct the CRO to transfer all CRO Records to La Jolla, Jewel or their
designated agent(s). La Jolla and Jewel, as appropriate, shall bear all costs and
expenses charged by the CRO to provide such CRO Records to La Jolla or Jewel after
the Closing, as well as reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by GliaMed in
providing assistance pursuant to this Section 4.2.
20
4.3 Diligence Covenants.
(a) La Jolla and Jewel will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) commence the
Pre-Clinical Study as promptly as practicable following the Closing, and in any event, within 15
days from the Closing Date, and (ii) complete and obtain the results from the Pre-Clinical Study as
promptly as practicable following the Closing, and in any event, no later than July 31, 2011.
(b) Subject to the achievement of a Successful Pre-Clinical Result, La Jolla will, and will
cause Jewel to, use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as the La Jolla Board of
Directors may, acting in good faith, deem reasonably necessary to pursue the achievement of the
First Milestone and the Second Milestone, which activities may include clinical development,
manufacturing procurement and pursuit of FDA or EMA regulatory approval of a Product. In
discharging its obligations under this Section 4.3(b), the La Jolla Board shall be entitled to take
into account La Jolla’s assets and resources, the breadth, certainty and duration of patent
protection for the Compound and any Product, results from any pre-clinical or clinical trials
involving the Compound or any Product and such other factors as may reasonably be deemed relevant.
(c) To the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction finds in a final non-appealable order
(the “
Final Judgment”) that La Jolla materially breached the foregoing covenant in this
Section 4.3(b) after GliaMed provided La Jolla with written notice of the alleged breach,
identifying the specific alleged grounds for breach, and provided La Jolla with a cure period of no
less than 180 days, then GliaMed shall have the right for a period of 30 days following the entry
of the Final Judgment to elect to either: (A) demand accelerated payment of the payments due upon
the achievement of the First Milestone and the Second Milestone, to the extent not already met, or
(B) acquire from La Jolla an exclusive license to the GliaMed Technology bearing a royalty rate in
favor of La Jolla of 5% of all net sales by GliaMed (or its licensees or assigns) of any Product
(the “
Reversion License”),
provided, however, that GliaMed may not elect to take the
Reversion License if La Jolla has licensed part or all of the rights to the GliaMed Technology to
any Third Party prior to the entry of the Final Judgment. To the extent that GliaMed and La Jolla
cannot agree on the general terms and conditions of the Reversion License within 90 days from
GliaMed’s election to take the Reversion License, then the final form of such license shall be
decided by an arbitrator in a proceeding to be conducted pursuant to the J.A.M.S. Comprehensive
Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules,
with such proceeding to be conducted in San Diego,
California and to be concluded within 90 days
from selecting the arbitrator. The costs of such arbitration
proceeding shall be borne equally by the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
arbitrator may in his or her sole discretion assess costs, fees, and expenses (including the
reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing Party) against any Party to a proceeding.
21
4.4 Dissolution. Upon the dissolution and winding up of GliaMed,
which in no event will occur prior to the first anniversary of the Closing, and
subject to the execution and delivery to La Jolla by each stockholder of GliaMed
(the “GliaMed Designees”) of an assignment and assumption agreement in a
form reasonably satisfactory to La Jolla, which agreement shall provide, among
other things, that the GliaMed Designees shall assume all executory obligations of
GliaMed arising hereunder and under the Ancillary Agreements, and shall set forth
the pro rata rights and obligations of such GliaMed Designee under this Agreement
and the Series E Certificate of Designations (including, without limitation, the
indemnification obligations under Article VII and VIII of this Agreement, as well
as the pro rata Limitations on Conversions under Article IV of the Series E
Certificate of Designations) (the “GliaMed Stockholder Assignment and
Assumption Agreement”). La Jolla shall deliver stock certificates for the
Shares and Substitute Consideration, as applicable, to the GliaMed Designees,
pursuant to the prorate designations set forth in the GliaMed Stockholder
Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The GliaMed Designees receiving such Shares
shall inure to the benefit of all rights of GliaMed and be severally and not
jointly liable for GliaMed’s obligations hereunder (based on the relative
indemnification obligations set forth in the GliaMed Stockholder Assignment and
Assumption agreement).
4.5 Right of Participation in Future Financing. Subject to the
limitations set forth below, GliaMed shall have the following rights to participate
in offerings of Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents after the Closing.
(a) Upon any issuance by La Jolla of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (a
“Subsequent Financing”), GliaMed shall have the right to purchase up to 12% of the
securities offered in the Subsequent Financing on the same terms, conditions and price provided for
in the Subsequent Financing, unless the Subsequent Financing is a public offering registered under
the Securities Act, in which case La Jolla shall offer GliaMed the right to participate in such
public offering when it is lawful for La Jolla to do so, but GliaMed shall not have the right to
demand participation in any such public offering. In the event that an Offering is being effected
through the exercise of outstanding options, warrants or other purchase rights, including the Cash
Warrants, the exercise of such purchase rights will be deemed to represent 88% of the potential
Offering size, and GliaMed shall have the right to purchase up to 12% of that grossed-up Offering.
(b) At least 5 Trading Days prior to the planned closing of the Subsequent Financing, La Jolla
shall deliver to GliaMed a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing
(“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask GliaMed if it wants to review the details of
such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”). Upon the request
of GliaMed, and only upon a request by GliaMed, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, La Jolla shall
promptly, but no later than 1 Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent
Financing Notice to GliaMed. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable
detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be
raised thereunder, the person(s) through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be
effected, and attached to which shall be any applicable term sheet or similar document relating
thereto.
22
(c) If GliaMed desires to participate in such Subsequent Financing, it must provide written
notice to La Jolla by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 3rd Trading Day after
receiving the Pre-Notice that it may wish to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of
GliaMed’s participation, and that GliaMed has such funds ready, willing, and available for
investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If La Jolla receives no
notice from GliaMed as of such 3rd Trading Day, GliaMed shall be deemed to have notified La Jolla
that it does not elect to participate.
(d) La Jolla shall provide GliaMed with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and GliaMed will
again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 4.5, if the Subsequent

reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within 90 Trading Days after the

Common Stock and/or Common Stock Equivalents in one or more Offerings. To the extent that GliaMed
has a right of participation for a portion of an Offering, and the amount of that Offering, summed
with earlier Offerings, exceeds $6,000,000, the right of participation under this Section 4.5 shall
apply only with respect to the portion of the Offering that is within the aggregate $6,000,000

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.5 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt

(a) by mutual written consent duly authorized by the boards of directors of GliaMed and La
Jolla;
(b) by either GliaMed or La Jolla if the Closing has not occurred by March 31, 2011, which
date may be extended by mutual consent of the Parties hereto (the “Termination Date”);
provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.1(b) shall not
be available to any Party whose action or failure to act has proximately caused the failure of the
Closing to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of
this Agreement;

6.3 Termination Fees and Expenses. If the Parties terminate this
Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1, then each Party shall bear its out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this

VII. INDEMNIFICATION
7.1 General Indemnity. From and after the Closing, and subject to the
terms and limitations contained herein, each Party (“Indemnifying Party”)
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other Party (and their respective
directors, officers, Affiliates, members, managers, employees, agents, successors
and assigns) (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all
Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party as a result of claims, including those
brought by Third Parties, arising out of or relating to any inaccuracy in or breach
of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Indemnifying Party
herein.
25
7.2 Indemnification Procedure. Any Indemnified Party seeking
indemnification under this Article VII shall give written notice to the
Indemnifying Party within the Survival Period (as defined in Section 9.2) of any
matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification, including a Third party action,
which notice shall contain a description of the breach, the section(s) of this
Agreement alleged to be breached, any related documents and stating the amount of
Losses if known (the “Claim”). Claims not made within the Survival Period
applicable to the claimed breach shall be barred. In case any such action,
proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which
indemnification is sought hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to
participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnifying Party a
conflict of interest between it and the Indemnified Party exists with respect to
such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be
responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the
Indemnified Parties), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying
Party advises an Indemnified Party that it will contest such a claim for
indemnification hereunder, or fails, within 30 days of receipt of any
indemnification notice (the “Defense Period”) to notify, in writing, such
person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and
expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time
after it commences such defense), then the Indemnified Party may, at its option,
defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event,
unless and until the Indemnifying Party elects in writing to assume and does so
assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnified Party’s
costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such
action, claim or proceeding, only to the extent incurred after the expiration of
the Defense Period, shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The
Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in connection
with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the Indemnifying
Party and shall furnish to the Indemnifying Party all information reasonably
available to the Indemnified Party which relates to such action or claim. The
Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as
to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.
If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of
its choice at its sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article VII to the contrary, the Indemnifying
Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle or
compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which
imposes any future obligation on the Indemnified Party or which does not include,
as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to
the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim.
7.3 Satisfaction of Claims. With respect to claims for
indemnification asserted under this Article VII where GliaMed is the Indemnifying
Party, GliaMed shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay for such Losses
by tendering for cancellation such number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock as
may then have a fair market value equal to the amount of the Loss at issue. In
determining the fair market value of the Series E Preferred Stock for purposes of
this Section 7.3, the Series E Preferred Stock shall be valued on an as-converted
basis using the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock over the 10-day
period prior to surrendering the Series E Preferred Stock.
26
7.4 Limitations on Indemnification.
(a) No Party shall be entitled to assert a claim for indemnification under Section 7.1 until
such time as the Losses suffered by the affected Indemnified Parties exceed $50,000 in the
aggregate, at which time all such claims may be asserted in full from the first dollar thereof.
(b) The aggregate indemnification obligations of each Party pursuant to this Article VII shall
be limited to the value of the Pre-Clinical Shares, determined on an as-converted basis and with
reference to the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock over the ten trading days
following the issuance of the Pre-Clinical Shares; provided, however, that the foregoing limit
shall not apply to any Losses suffered by an Indemnified Party relating to: (i) a breach by the
Indemnifying Party of any of the Fundamental Representations, or (ii) any Third Party claim
relating to an Excluded Liability. In the event of GliaMed’s dissolution and resulting
distribution of any portion of the Shares as contemplated in Section 4.4, the maximum liability of
each recipient of the Shares formerly held by GliaMed shall be pro rated based their relative
ownership of GliaMed common stock, determined on an as-converted basis, as reported to La Jolla
pursuant to Section 4.4.
(c) No claim for indemnification arising out of a breach of a representation or warranty may
be asserted after the expiration of such representation or warranty, as set forth in Section 9.2;
provided that any such expiration of time shall not affect a claim for indemnification made prior
to such expiration.
7.5 Right to Indemnification Not Affected by Knowledge. The right to
indemnification based on a Party’s representations, warranties, covenants and
obligations under this Agreement will not be affected by any investigation
conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired)
at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement
or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance
with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation by the other Party.
7.6 Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of: (i) fraud and equitable
remedies (including injunctive relief), (ii) exercise of the Repurchase Right
(defined below) or (iii) the satisfaction of La Jolla’s obligations pursuant to
Section 2.2 of this Agreement, the indemnification pursuant to the provisions of
this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties
with respect to any matters arising under or relating to this Agreement or any
Ancillary Agreement, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and no
legal action sounding in contribution, breach of contract, damages, tort or strict
liability may be maintained by any Party against the other Party with respect to
any matter that is the subject of this Article VII.
27
VIII. COMPLETION OF PRE-CLINICAL STUDY.
8.1 Financing. Within one Business Day of Xxxxxxx River providing La
Jolla with written notice of its determination of whether there was a Successful
Pre-Clinical Result, La Jolla shall provide written notice of the Xxxxxxx River
findings from the Pre-Clinical Study (the “Pre-Clinical Study Findings”) to
GliaMed and to the holders of La Jolla’s Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock
(the “La Jolla Stockholders”). If Xxxxxxx River determines that there was
a Successful Pre-Clinical Result, then, by 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the third
Trading Day following receipt of the Pre-Clinical Study Findings by the La Jolla
Stockholders (the “Exercise Deadline”), the La Jolla Stockholders shall
exercise the “Cash Warrants” (as defined in Prior Agreement, and as amended
as of the Closing) for aggregate proceeds to La Jolla of at least $7,452,200. The
exercise of the Cash Warrant raising aggregate proceeds of $7,452,200 shall be
referred to herein as the “Initial Funding;” any additional amounts
received by the Company upon exercise of the Cash Warrants shall constitute an
Offering for purposes of this Agreement. The determination of Xxxxxxx River
regarding whether there was a Successful Pre-Clinical Result shall be final and
binding on the Parties.
8.2 Repurchase Right. If the Initial Funding has not closed by the
earliest of: (a) the Exercise Deadline, (b) 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the fifth
Trading Day after the receipt by the La Jolla Stockholders of the Pre-Clinical
Study Findings that do not show a Successful Pre-Clinical Result, or (c) 5:00 p.m.
(Pacific Time) on July 31, 2011, then GliaMed shall have the right for a period of
10 Business Days to elect to purchase from La Jolla all right, title and interest
in and to the outstanding capital stock of Jewel (the “Repurchase Right”),
upon paying to La Jolla: (i) the consideration then paid to GliaMed pursuant to
Section 2.2(a), and (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate out-of-pocket fees and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Jewel and La Jolla
between the Closing Date and the closing of the Repurchase Right in connection with
the maintenance of the Purchased Assets, including, without limitation, patent
filings and expenses incurred under the Assigned Agreements.
8.3 Maintenance of Purchased Assets. From the Closing Date through
the earlier of the satisfaction of the financing condition set forth above in
Section 8.1, or the exercise of the Repurchase Right: (i) all of the Purchased
Assets shall be held by Jewel, which will be the sole record owner of the Purchased
Assets and no agreements to transfer or assign, or rights, licenses or commitments
with respect thereto, shall have been entered into, (ii) Jewel shall not, and La
Jolla shall not permit Jewel to, issue any additional shares of capital stock, or
securities convertible or exchangeable for Jewel capital stock, or enter into any
commitments to do so, and (iii) Jewel shall not, and La Jolla shall not permit
Jewel to, incur any indebtedness for borrowed money, whether or not secured, or
grant any liens, security interests or other Encumbrances on the Purchased Assets,
other than pursuant to the Stock Pledge Agreement. In the event that GliaMed
exercises the Repurchase Right, GliaMed will thereupon acquire indirect ownership
(i.e., through its ownership of Jewel) of all right, title
and interest in and to the Purchased Assets, to the same extent that such
title was conveyed by GliaMed to Jewel at the Closing, and the Purchased Assets
shall be free of Encumbrances at the time of the completion of the transfer
contemplated under the Repurchase Right. Following the exercise of the Repurchase
Right, GliaMed shall indemnify La Jolla (and its directors, officers, Affiliates,
members, managers, employees, agents, successors and assigns) for any Third Party
claims arising out of the Assigned Agreements, other than claims related to the
time when the Purchased Assets were held by Jewel and Jewel was owned by La Jolla.
28
8.4 Exclusive Remedy. GliaMed’s exercise of the Repurchase Right
shall serve as its sole and exclusive remedy for the failure to satisfy the
conditions set forth in Sections 2.2(a)(ii) and 8.1. Upon exercise of the
Repurchase Right, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further
force or effect, except for Articles VII and IX, which shall survive termination of
this Agreement.
IX. MISCELLANEOUS.
9.1 Governing Law, Jurisdiction; Dispute Resolution.
(a)
Governing Law. The interpretation and construction of this Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the State of
California, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or
principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the
substantive law of another jurisdiction.
(b) Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage
may occur in the event that any of the executory provisions of this Agreement or the other
Ancillary Agreements were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise
breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or
injunctions to prevent or cure such breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or the other
Ancillary Agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof without
the requirement of posting a bond or providing any other security, this being in addition to any
other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.
(c)
Dispute Resolution. Except as set forth in Section 4.3(c), the Parties agree that
venue for any dispute arising under this Agreement will lie exclusively in the state or federal
courts located in the City and County of San Diego,
California, and the Parties irrevocably waive
any right to raise
forum non conveniens or any other argument that
California is not the proper
venue. The Parties irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of
the State of
California. The Parties consent to process being served in any such suit, action or
proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such Party at the address in effect for notices to it under
this Agreement and agree that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process
and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 9.1 shall affect or limit any right to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law. The Parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury. In
addition, the prevailing Party in any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be entitled to
recover its fees and expenses, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses.
29

3.2(c), and 3.2(d) (the “La Jolla Fundamental Representations” and,

Representations”) shall survive indefinitely (each period, the applicable
“Survival Period”). A Party’s failure to enforce, at any time or for any
period of time, any provision of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy
shall not constitute a waiver of that provision, right or remedy or prevent such
Party from enforcing any or all provisions of this Agreement and exercising any
rights or remedies. To be effective any waiver must be in writing. The rights and
remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or
remedy provided by law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.

9.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements
constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject
matter of the Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements supersede all
prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter
hereof. Each Party confirms that it is not relying on any representations,
warranties or covenants of the other Party except as specifically set out in this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. All Schedules or Exhibits referred to in
this Agreement are intended to be and are hereby specifically incorporated into and
made a part of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between any such
Schedules or Exhibits and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
9.5 Amendment. Any amendment or modification of this Agreement must
be in writing and signed by authorized representatives of both Parties.
9.6 Assignment. Neither Party may assign its rights or delegate its
obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part without the prior written
consent of the other Party, except (a) that a Party may make such an assignment
without the other Party’s consent to Affiliates or to a successor to substantially
all of the business or assets of such Party, whether in a merger, sale of stock,
sale of assets or other transaction, provided that such successor shall acquire all
rights and obligations hereunder, and (b) as contemplated in Section 4.4. Any
permitted successor or assignee of rights and/or obligations hereunder shall, in
writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights and/or
obligations. Any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of this Section
shall be void. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 9.6, shall
limit La Jolla from licensing or sub-licensing to any Third Parties any rights
obtained hereunder.
31
9.7 No Benefit to Others. The provisions of this Agreement are for
the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and
they shall not be construed as conferring any rights in any other persons, except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken
together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. An executed
signature page of this Agreement delivered by facsimile or PDF transmission shall
be as effective as an original executed signature page.
9.9 Severability. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
the Parties waive any provision of law that would render any provision in this
Agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect. If any provision of
this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in any respect,
then such provision will be given no effect by the Parties and shall not form part
of this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and if the
rights or obligations of any Party will not be materially and adversely affected,
all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
the Parties will use their best efforts to negotiate a provision in replacement of
the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is consistent with
applicable law and achieves, as nearly as possible, the original intention of the
Parties.
9.10 Representation by Legal Counsel. Each Party hereto represents
that it has been represented by legal counsel in connection with this Agreement and
acknowledges that it has participated in the drafting of this Agreement. In
interpreting and applying the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties
agree that no presumption shall exist or be implied against the Party which drafted
such terms and provisions.
9.11 Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 6.3 and this
Section 9.11, each Party hereto shall bear all fees and expenses incurred by such
Party in connection with, relating to or arising out of the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transaction contemplated
hereby, including, without limitation, financial advisors’, attorneys’,
accountants’ and other professional fees and expenses. GliaMed shall pay when due
from assets other than the Purchased Assets, all sales taxes and/or use taxes, bulk

of the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be
taken, all appropriate action, do or cause to be done all things necessary,
proper or advisable under Applicable Law, and execute and deliver such documents
and other papers, as may be reasonably requested to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
9.13 Bulk Sales. The Parties hereby waive compliance with all bulk

jurisdiction that may apply the purchase and sale of the Purchase Assets
contemplated by this Agreement.

Exhibit A
ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT
This ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT (the “
Assignment and Assumption Agreement”) is made
and entered into as of March 29, 2011, by and between Jewel Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“
Buyer”), and GliaMed, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “
Company”). All capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the
Asset
Purchase Agreement (as defined below).
WHEREAS,
La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company, a Delaware corporation, Buyer and the Company are
parties to that certain
Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2011 (the “
Asset Purchase
Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company is to sell to Buyer, and Buyer is
to purchase from the Company, the Purchased Assets; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the
Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to assign to Buyer
all right, title and interest in and to the Assigned Agreements, as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Assignment. The Company hereby transfers and assigns to Buyer all of the Company’s
right, title and interest in, to and under, all of the Assigned Agreements, to have and hold the
same unto Buyer and its successors and assigns from and after the date hereof subject to the
covenants, conditions and provisions therein provided. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, this Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall not constitute an assignment of any
Assigned Agreement if an attempted assignment thereof, without consent of a third party thereto,
would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights
of Buyer or the Company thereunder, and such assignment shall not occur until such time as such
consent has been obtained, at which time it shall occur automatically under this Assignment and
Assumption Agreement without further action by the Company or Buyer. Until such consent has been
obtained, the Company and Buyer will use their reasonable best efforts (but without the requirement
of any payment of money by the Company or Buyer) to obtain the consent of the other parties to any
such Assigned Agreement for the assignment thereof to Buyer as Buyer may request. Unless and until
such consent is obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would
adversely affect the rights of the Company thereunder so that Buyer would not in fact receive all
rights under such Assigned Agreement, the Company and Buyer will cooperate in an arrangement under
which Buyer would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations thereunder in accordance with this
Agreement, including subcontracting, sub-licensing, or subleasing to Buyer, or under which the
Company would enforce, at Buyer’s expense, for the benefit of Buyer, with Buyer assuming at Buyer’s
expense the Company’s obligations in accordance with this Agreement, any and all rights of the
Company against a third party thereto. The Company will promptly pay to Buyer when received all
monies received by the Company under any Assigned Agreement.
35
2. Assumption. Buyer hereby accepts the transfer and assignment of the Assigned
Agreements, and Buyer hereby agrees to pay, defend, discharge and perform all obligations and
liabilities of the Company which accrue and are to be performed under any Assigned Agreement after
the Closing Date, other than any such obligations or liabilities attributable to any failure by the
Company to comply with the terms thereof.
3.
Excluded Liabilities. Except as expressly provided herein and in the
Asset
Purchase Agreement, Buyer shall not assume or be bound by any obligations or liabilities of the
Company or any Affiliate of the Company of any kind or nature, known, unknown, accrued, absolute,
contingent or otherwise, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whatsoever.
4. Contest. The assignment and assumption of the Assigned Agreements hereunder shall
not enlarge any rights of third parties and nothing herein or in any instrument of transfer shall
prevent Buyer from contesting in good faith the claim of any third party with respect to any of the
Assigned Agreements.
5.
Guarantee by the Company. To the extent required in connection with the assignment
of any of the Assigned Agreements to Buyer, the Company agrees to guarantee the obligations of
Buyer under such Assigned Agreement to the counterparty thereto. The Company and Buyer agree that,
as between such two parties, any such guarantee by the Company shall not relieve Buyer of its
obligations under Section 2 of this Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The guarantee under this
Section 5 shall expire upon (a) the Company’s exercise of its Repurchase Right, (b) the termination
of the
Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1 of the
Asset Purchase Agreement or (c)

qualifications, limitations and restrictions, as set forth below:
I. DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT

another entity (other than a consolidation, merger or other business combination in which
holders of the Corporation’s voting power immediately prior to the transaction continue after
the transaction to hold, directly or indirectly, in substantially the same proportion as
immediately preceding the transaction, the voting power of the surviving entity or entities
necessary to elect a majority of the members of the board of directors (or their equivalent if
other than a corporation) of such entity or entities);
(ii) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single

the intellectual property or assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or
the sale or disposition (including, without limitation, any such action effected by the Corporation

(iii) the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Corporation with or into

(2) securities of the Corporation or any other person (or the right to receive any such
securities), (3) any property (including, without limitation, cash and the right to receive cash or

acceptable to the Series E Requisite Holders, if Bloomberg Financial L.P. is not then reporting
closing sales prices of the Common Stock) (collectively, “Bloomberg”) or (ii) if no last trading
price is so reported for such date, the average of the closing bid and ask prices on the principal
Trading Market during regular trading hours on which such security is listed or traded as reported
by Bloomberg. If the Closing Sales Price cannot be calculated for such Common Stock as of any of
such dates on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sales Price on such date shall be the fair

reasonably acceptable to the Series E Requisite Holders, with the costs of such appraisal to be
borne by the Corporation.

long as a copy of the Notice of Conversion is delivered via electronic mail resulting in notice to
the Corporation before 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the Conversion Date indicated in the
Notice of Conversion; provided, however, that if the Notice of Conversion is not so e-mailed before
such time, then the Conversion Date shall be the date the holder e-mails the Notice of Conversion
to the Corporation.
H. “Conversion Price” means the price obtained by dividing $1,000 by 66,667, and shall be subject
to adjustment as set forth in Article VIII below.
I. “Face Amount” shall mean, with respect to the Series E Preferred Stock, $1,000.00 per share, as
adjusted (i) for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations, reclassifications
or the like and (ii) with respect to any given share or shares of Series E Preferred Stock, to
account for any accretion in the Face Amount as a result of accrued but unpaid dividends or any

III. RIGHTS, PREFERENCES AND PRIVILEGES
A. Dividend Provisions. Holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive,
and the Corporation shall pay, cumulative mandatory dividends at the rate per share of 5% of the
Face Amount per annum, payable semi-annually on May 25 and November 25 beginning on the first such
date after the applicable Original Issue Date, and pro rating for the partial six-month period from
such applicable Original Issue Date for the first payment hereunder (each such date, a “Dividend
Payment Date”) (if any Dividend Payment Date is not a Trading Day, the applicable payment shall be
due on the next succeeding Trading Day). Such dividends shall be payable in such number of
additional shares of Series E Preferred Stock, in each case determined by dividing the amount of
the cumulative dividends by the Face Amount; provided, however, that if funds are not legally
available for the payment of dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock, such dividends shall,
effective on the close of business on a Dividend Payment Date with respect to an unpaid dividend,
accrete to, and increase, the Face Amount of the Series E Preferred Stock. Dividends on the Series
E Preferred Stock shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day
periods, shall accrue daily commencing on the applicable Original Issue Date, and, subject to the
preceding sentence, shall be deemed to accrue from such applicable Original Issue Date whether or
not earned or declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the
Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. The record date for determining the
holders of Series E Preferred Stock entitled to dividends pursuant to this paragraph shall be the
fifth (5th) Trading Day before the Dividend Payment Date. If any such cumulative
dividends would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Series E Preferred Stock, the
Corporation shall issue a fractional share therefor, rounded to the nearest 1/1000th of
a share. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) for purposes of any conversion
or redemption of shares of Series E Preferred Stock, any amount accreted to the Face Amount of such
shares pursuant to this paragraph as of such conversion or redemption shall not be deemed accrued
but unpaid dividends and (ii) in the event of a conversion or redemption that occurs between
Dividend Payment Dates, dividends shall be deemed to accrue through the date of such conversion or
redemption, even if such accrual is less than a full semi-annual dividend period.
4
IV. CONVERSION
A. Conversion at the Option of the Holder. Subject to the limitations on conversions
contained in Paragraph C of this Article IV, each holder of shares of Series E Preferred Stock may,
at any time and from time to time, convert (an “Optional Conversion”) each of its shares of Series
E Preferred Stock into a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock determined
in accordance with the following formula:
Face Amount
Conversion Price
Following the effectiveness of any Optional Conversion, the shares of Series E Preferred Stock so
converted shall also entitle the former holder of such shares to receive, on the Dividend Payment
Date next following such conversion, a number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock equal to the
unpaid dividends that accrued on the shares so converted through the date of such conversion,
divided by the Face Amount.
B. Mechanics of Conversion. In order to effect an Optional Conversion, a holder shall
deliver via electronic mail a copy of the fully executed Notice of Conversion (in the form attached
hereto) to the Corporation (Attention: Secretary). Such notice shall be delivered to
xxxxxxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx or such other address as the Corporation may, from time to time, provide to
the holders upon delivery of a written notice. Upon receipt by the Corporation of a copy of a
Notice of Conversion from a holder, the Corporation shall promptly send, via facsimile or
electronic mail, a confirmation to such holder stating that the Notice of Conversion has been
received, the date upon which the Corporation expects to deliver the Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion and the name and telephone number of a contact person at the Corporation regarding
the conversion.
(i) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. The Corporation (itself, or through its
transfer agent) shall, no later than the second Trading Day following the Conversion Date (the
"Delivery Period”), issue and deliver (i.e., deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier
service postage prepaid) to the holder or its nominee a certificate representing that number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series E Preferred Stock being
converted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Corporation’s transfer agent is participating in
the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program or any other
program that provides for the electronic delivery of Common Stock, the Corporation shall cause its
transfer agent, by the end of the Delivery Period, to electronically transmit the Common Stock (not
in physical stock certificate form) issuable upon conversion to the holder by crediting the account
of the holder or its nominee with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or
with any such equivalent program.
5
(ii) Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all taxes that may be imposed upon it
with respect to the issuance and delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the
Series E Preferred Stock.
(iii) No Fractional Shares. If any conversion of Series E Preferred Stock would
result in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be
payable in cash based upon the Closing Sales Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the
Conversion Date and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E
Preferred Stock shall be the next lower whole number of shares.
(iv) Conversion Disputes. In the case of any dispute with respect to a conversion,
the Corporation shall promptly issue such number of shares of Common Stock as are not disputed in
accordance with subparagraph (i) above. If such dispute involves the calculation of the Conversion
Price, and such dispute is not promptly resolved by discussion between the relevant holder and the
Corporation, the Corporation shall submit the disputed calculations to an independent outside
accountant within three Trading Days of receipt of the Notice of Conversion. The accountant, at the
Corporation’s sole expense, shall promptly audit the calculations and notify the Corporation and
the holder of the results no later than three Trading Days from the date it receives the disputed
calculations. The accountant’s calculation shall be deemed conclusive, absent manifest error. The
Corporation shall then issue the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with
subparagraph (i) above.
C. Limitations on Conversions. The conversion of shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall
be subject to the following limitations (each of which limitations shall be applied independently):
(i) Timing and Volume Limitations. Each holder of Series E Preferred Stock shall be
eligible for an Optional Conversion on any day of a Monday through Sunday calendar week (each a
"Conversion Week”) to the extent that, together with all prior conversions of such holder’s Series
E Preferred Stock, if any, the total shares of the Series E Preferred Stock that has been converted
by such holder during such Conversion Week (rounded to the nearest 1/1,000th of a share)
does not exceed the product of (x) the Face Amount of the Outstanding Series E Preferred Stock held
by such holder immediately following the issuance of the Pre-Clinical Shares, multiplied by (y) the
Conversion Cap for such calendar week. In determining the “Conversion Cap” for any Conversion
Week, other than the Fixed Conversion Weeks, if the quotient of (A) the average of the Closing
Sales Price (as adjusted to reflect any stock splits, stock dividends or similar recapitalizations
occurring on or before the Conversion Date) for the Trading Days during the previous Monday through
Sunday calendar week ending on the last Trading Day prior to the applicable Conversion Week,
divided by (B) the applicable Conversion Price of the Series E Preferred Stock on the first Trading
Day of such Conversion Week is: (1) less than one, then the Conversion Cap shall be 0%; (2) greater
than or equal to one and less than two, then the Conversion Cap shall be 0.4%; (3) greater than or
equal to two and less than three, then the Conversion Cap shall be 0.8%; (4) greater than or equal
to three and less than four, then the Conversion Cap shall be 1.6%; (5) greater than or equal to
four and less than five, then the Conversion Cap shall be 2.4%; (6) greater than or equal to five
and less than six, then the Conversion Cap shall be 3.2%; (7) greater than or equal to six and less
than
6
seven, then the Conversion Cap shall be 4.0%; (8) greater than or equal to seven and less than
eight, then the Conversion Cap shall be 4.8%; (9) greater than or equal to eight and less than nine, then the
Conversion Cap shall be 5.6%; (10) greater than or equal to nine and less than ten, then the
Conversion Cap shall be 6.4%; or (11) greater than or equal to ten, then the Conversion Cap shall
be 7.2%. The Conversion Cap for the Fixed Conversion Weeks shall be 0.8%. For purposes of this
Article IV.C.(i): (I) “Outstanding Series E Preferred Stock” means all of the Company’s Series E
Convertible Preferred Stock, issued and outstanding immediately following the issuance of the
Pre-Clinical Shares (as such term is defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) and (II) “Fixed
Conversion Weeks” mean the periods of time commencing on (i) the first calendar week beginning the
Monday following the issuance of the Pre-Clinical Shares, or (ii) the week following the date of
any Conversion Price adjustment. No Optional Conversion shall be allowed until the first Monday
following the issuance of the Pre-Clinical Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Article IV.C.(i), any holder of Series E Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all
or any portion of its shares of Series E Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock immediately
prior to a Change of Control. The foregoing conversion limits shall apply to the Series E Preferred
Stock on an aggregate basis; to the extent that ownership of the Series E Preferred Stock is
divided among multiple holders, the conversion limits shall be apportioned among the holders on a
pro rata basis, based on their relative holdings of Series E Preferred Stock.
(ii) Additional Restrictions on Conversion or Transfer. Notwithstanding anything in
this Certificate of Designations to the contrary, at no time may the Corporation issue or sell
shares of Common Stock (including transfers by the Corporation of treasury stock) to a holder of
Series E Preferred Stock, and in no event shall any holder of shares of Series E Preferred Stock
have the right to convert shares of Series E Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, in each
such case (x) to the extent that such issuance or sale or right to effect such conversion would
result in the holder or any of its affiliates together beneficially owning more than 9.999% of the
then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock or (y) if such holder or any of its affiliates
together beneficially own more than 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding Common Stock
immediately prior to such purported issuance, sale, transfer or conversion. For purposes of this
subparagraph, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulation 13D-G thereunder.
The restriction contained in this subparagraph may not be waived. Any purported issuance, sale,
transfer or conversion effected in violation of this paragraph shall be null and void.
Certificates representing shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall have imprinted, typed, stamped
or otherwise affixed thereon a legend in substantially the following form:
THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER AND CONVERSION
RESTRICTIONS AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED OR CONVERTED ONLY AS PERMITTED BY THE TERMS OF THE CERTIFICATE

WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION AND SHALL BE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE UPON A
REQUEST THEREFOR SUBMITTED TO THE SECRETARY.
7
V. RESERVATION OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
A. If the authorized and unissued number of shares of Common Stock (the “Reserved Amount”) for any
three consecutive Trading Days (the last of such three Trading Days being the “Authorization
Trigger Date”) shall be less than a number sufficient to provide for the conversion in full, at the
then current Conversion Price thereof, without taking into account the conversion limitations set
forth in Article IV.C.(i) and without taking into account the conversion limitations set forth in
Article IV.C.(ii), of all of the Series C-11 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series

(including, if necessary, seeking stockholder approval to increase the number of shares of Common
Stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue) to increase the Reserved Amount to the Required
Reserve Amount. Nothing contained in this Article V.A. shall limit any other rights or remedies of
the holders of the Series C-11 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C-21
Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D-11 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series
D-21 Convertible Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock, hereunder or under
applicable law.
VI. RANK
A. All shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall rank (i) senior to (a) the Corporation’s Common
Stock; (b) the Common Stock Equivalents (other than Senior Securities) in existence as of the
Closing Date; and (c) any Common Stock Equivalents (other than Senior Securities) and any Other
Stock (other than Senior Securities) issued after the Closing Date specifically ranking, by their
terms, junior to the Series E Preferred Stock (collectively with the Common Stock and the Common
Stock Equivalents (other than Senior Securities) in existence as of the Closing Date, “Junior
Securities”); (ii) pari passu with any Common Stock Equivalents (other than Senior Securities) and
Other Stock (other than Senior Securities) issued after the Closing Date specifically ranking, by

junior to the Corporation’s Series C-11 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series
C-21 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D-11 Convertible Preferred Stock and

distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether
voluntary or involuntary. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall rank pari passu with each
other share of Series E Preferred Stock as to dividends and distribution of assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.
8
VII. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE
A. If (i) the Corporation shall (1) commence a voluntary case under the U.S. Federal
bankruptcy laws or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, (2) consent to the
entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any law or to the appointment of a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the
Corporation or of any substantial part of its property, or (3) make an assignment for the benefit
of its creditors, (ii) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Corporation shall be entered
by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under the U.S. Federal
bankruptcy laws or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law resulting in the
appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar
official) of the Corporation or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up
or liquidation of its affairs, and any such decree or order shall be unstayed and in effect for a
period of 60 consecutive days, or (iii) the Corporation sells or transfers all or substantially all
of its assets in one transaction or in a series of related transactions and, on account of any such
event as set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), the Corporation shall liquidate, dissolve or wind
up, or if the Corporation shall otherwise liquidate, dissolve or wind up (a “Liquidation Event”),
no distribution shall be made to the holders of any shares of capital stock of the Corporation
(other than Senior Securities pursuant to the rights, preferences and privileges thereof) upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up unless prior thereto the holders of shares of Series E
Preferred Stock shall have received the Liquidation Preference with respect to each share then
outstanding. If, upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the assets and funds legally
available for distribution among the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock and holders of Pari
Passu Securities, if any, shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the
preferential amounts payable thereon, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally
available for distribution to the Series E Preferred Stock and the Pari Passu Securities, if any,
shall be distributed ratably among such shares in proportion to the ratio that the Liquidation
Preference payable on each such share bears to the aggregate Liquidation Preference payable on all
such shares.
B. The purchase or redemption by the Corporation of stock of any class, in any manner permitted by
law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be regarded as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Corporation. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other
entity nor the sale or transfer by the Corporation of less than substantially all of its assets
shall, for the purposes hereof, be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation.
C. The “Liquidation Preference” with respect to a share of Series E Preferred Stock means an amount
equal to the Face Amount thereof plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series E Preferred
Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like
with respect to such shares). The Liquidation Preference with respect to any Pari Passu
Securities, if any, shall be as set forth in the Certificate of Designations filed in respect
thereof. As of the filing of this Certificate of Designations, there are no Pari Passu Securities.
9
VIII. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CONVERSION PRICE
The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
A. Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Etc. If, at any time on or after the Closing Date, the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock split, stock dividend,
combination, reclassification or other similar event (in each case, whether by merger or
otherwise), then, after the date of record for such event, the Conversion Price shall be
proportionately reduced. If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a
reverse stock split, combination or reclassification of shares, or other similar event (in each
case, whether by merger or otherwise), then, after the date of record for such event, the
Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased. In any such event described in this
paragraph, the Corporation shall notify the Corporation’s transfer agent of such change on or
before the effective date thereof.
B. Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. With respect to each share of Series E
Preferred Stock, if, at any time after the Closing Date, there shall be (i) any recapitalization,
reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (but not of such share of
Series E Preferred Stock), other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or
from no par value to par value, or as a result of a transaction causing an adjustment pursuant to
Article VIII.A., (ii) any Change of Control or any merger, conversion, consolidation or other
business combination, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock (but not such share of Series
E Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for capital stock or other securities of the
Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation or any other person (or the right to receive any
such stock or securities) or into any property (including, without limitation, cash and the right
to receive cash or other property) or any combination of the foregoing, or (iii) any share exchange
pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (but not such share of Series E
Preferred Stock) are converted into or exchanged for capital stock or other securities of the
Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation or any other person (or the right to receive any
such securities) or into any property (including, without limitation, cash and the right to receive
cash or other property) or into any combination of the foregoing (each of (i) — (iii) above being a
"Corporate Change”), then the holder of such share of Series E Preferred Stock shall thereafter
have the right to receive upon conversion, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise
issuable, such shares of stock, securities and/or other property as would have been issued or
payable in such Corporate Change if such share of Series E Preferred Stock had been converted into
Common Stock immediately prior to such Corporate Change without taking into account the limitations
on conversion set forth in Article IV. The Corporation shall not effect any Corporate Change
unless (i) each holder of Series E Preferred Stock has received written notice of such transaction
at least 20 days prior thereto, but in no event later than 10 days prior to the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto, and (ii) the resulting
successor or acquiring entity (if not the Corporation) assumes by written instrument (in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Series E Requisite Holders) the obligations of this
Certificate of Designations. The above provisions shall apply regardless of whether or not there
would have been a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available for issuance
upon conversion of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock outstanding as of the date of such
transaction, and shall similarly apply to successive recapitalizations, changes, conversions,
combinations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.
10
C. Adjustment Due to Distribution. If, at any time after the Closing Date, the Corporation
shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to all or
substantially all of the holders of Common Stock (other than a dividend for which an adjustment is
provided under Section A. or Section D. of this Article VIII.), by way of return of
capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any dividend or distribution to the
Corporation’s stockholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a
subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the holders of Series E Preferred Stock
shall be entitled, upon any conversion of shares of Series E Preferred Stock after the date of
record for determining stockholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such
assets which would have been payable to the holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion had such holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to such Distribution. If the
Distribution involves rights, warrants, or options and the right to exercise or convert such right,
warrant or option would expire in accordance with its terms prior to the conversion of the Series E
Preferred Stock, then the terms of such right, warrant or option shall provide that such exercise
or convertibility right shall remain in effect until 10 days after the date the holder of Series E
Preferred Stock receives such right, warrant or option pursuant to the conversion thereof.
D. Purchase Rights. If, at any time after the Closing Date, the Corporation issues any
securities that are convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for or that impart a right to
purchase securities other than Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (whether of the Corporation
or any subsidiary of the Corporation) pro rata to the record holders of all or substantially all of
the Common Stock (“Purchase Rights”), then the holders of Series E Preferred Stock will be entitled
to acquire (at the same time the holders of Common Stock receive such Purchase Rights), upon the
terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could
have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete
conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock (without giving effect to the limitations contained in
Article IV) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale
of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of
Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
E. One-Time Adjustment Following Reverse Stock Split. If, on the Conversion Price
Adjustment Date (as defined below), the average of the Closing Sales Prices (as adjusted to reflect
any stock splits, stock dividends or similar recapitalizations occurring on or before the
Conversion Price Adjustment Date) for the five (5) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the
last Trading Day prior to the Conversion Price Adjustment Date (the “Adjustment 5-Day Average
Price”) is less than the product of the Conversion Price then in effect (as adjusted to reflect any
stock splits, stock dividends or similar recapitalizations occurring on or before the Conversion
Price Adjustment Date) multiplied by 10, then, effective as of the Conversion Price Adjustment
Date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to a price equal to ten percent (10%) of the Adjustment
5-Day Average Price. The “Conversion Price Adjustment Date” shall mean the Saturday that is three
(3) calendar weeks following the Saturday of the week when the Reverse Split is effected. The
Company hereby agrees that it will not issue any press releases or file any periodic reports on
Form 8-K under the Exchange Act, except where required by law, during the period of time in which
the Adjustment 5-Day Average Price is being calculated. The “Reverse Split” means a reverse stock
split of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock at an exchange ratio of 1-for-100 within two weeks
of the Closing Date.
11
F. Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the
Conversion Price pursuant to this Article VIII amounting to a more than 5% change in such
Conversion Price, the Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or
readjustment and prepare and furnish to each holder of Series E Preferred Stock a certificate
setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such
adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time
of any holder of Series E Preferred Stock, furnish to such holder a like certificate setting forth
(i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the
number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at
the time would be received upon conversion of a share of Series E Preferred Stock.
IX. VOTING RIGHTS
The holders of the Series E Preferred Stock have no voting power whatsoever, except as
otherwise required by the DGCL in this Article IX.
Notwithstanding the above, the Corporation shall provide each holder of Series E Preferred
Stock with prior notification of any meeting or solicitation of written consent of the stockholders
(and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to stockholders). If the Corporation
takes a record of its stockholders for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to (a)
receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or
otherwise acquire (including by way of merger, consolidation or recapitalization) any share of any
class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or (b) to vote in
connection with any proposed Change of Control, sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Corporation, or any proposed merger, consolidation, liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation shall mail a notice to each holder,
at least 10 days prior to the record date specified therein (or 20 days prior to the consummation
of the transaction or event, whichever is earlier, but in no event earlier than public announcement
of such proposed transaction), of the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose
of such vote, dividend, distribution, right or other event, and a brief statement regarding the
amount and character of such vote, dividend, distribution, right or other event to the extent known
at such time.
To the extent that under the DGCL the vote of the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock,
voting together as a single class, is required to authorize a given action of the Corporation, the
affirmative vote of the Series E Requisite Holders (except as otherwise may be required under the
DGCL) shall constitute the approval of such action by such class; provided, however, that if the
DGCL requires only the separate vote of any one or more, but not all, of the series of Preferred
Stock, the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of such one or more series,
voting together as a single class, shall constitute the approval of such action by the Series E
Preferred Stock in lieu of the approval of the Series E Requisite Holders. To the extent that
under the DGCL holders of the Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on a matter with
holders of Common Stock, voting together as one class, each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall
be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which it is
then convertible (subject to the limitations contained in Article IV.C.(ii)) using the record date
for the taking of such vote of stockholders as the date as of which the Conversion Price is
calculated. The Corporation shall not (i) combine the outstanding shares of any series of Series E
Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares of such series (whether by reclassification,
merger, stock split or otherwise) or (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of any series of Series
E Preferred Stock into a greater number of shares of such series (whether by reclassification,
merger, stock split, stock dividend or otherwise) without the approval (by vote or written consent,
as provided by the DGCL) of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of such series
of Series E Preferred Stock to be combined or subdivided, voting as a separate class.
12
X. MISCELLANEOUS
A. Cancellation of Series E Preferred Stock. If any shares of Series E Preferred Stock are
converted pursuant to Article IV or repurchased by the Corporation, the Corporation shall take all
actions necessary to cause the shares so converted or repurchased to be canceled and return to the
status of authorized, but unissued preferred stock of no designated series, and such shares shall
not be issuable by the Corporation as Series E Preferred Stock.
B. Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Corporation of (i) evidence of the
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any stock certificate(s) representing shares of Series E
Preferred Stock (each a “Preferred Stock Certificate”) and (ii) (y) in the case of loss, theft or
destruction, of indemnity (without any bond or other security) reasonably satisfactory to the
Corporation, or (z) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Preferred
Stock Certificate(s), the Corporation shall execute and deliver Series E Preferred Stock
Certificate(s) of like tenor and date. However, the Corporation shall not be obligated to reissue
such lost or stolen Preferred Stock Certificate(s) if the holder contemporaneously requests the
Corporation to convert in full all shares of Series E Preferred Stock represented by such Preferred
Stock Certificate(s).
C. Allocation of Reserved Amount. The Reserved Amount shall be allocated pro rata among the
holders of Series E Preferred Stock based on the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock
issued to each holder. Each increase to the Reserved Amount shall be allocated pro rata among the
holders of Series E Preferred Stock based on the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock held
by each holder at the time of the increase Reserved Amount. Any portion of the Reserved Amount that
remains allocated to any person or entity which does not hold any Series E Preferred Stock shall be
allocated to the remaining holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock, pro rata based on the
number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock then held of record by such holders.
D. Status as Stockholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a holder of Series
E Preferred Stock, (i) the shares covered thereby shall be deemed converted into shares of Common
Stock and (ii) the holder’s rights as a holder of such converted shares of Series E Preferred Stock
shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of
Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such
holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of
Designations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a holder has not received all shares of Common
Stock prior to the last Trading Day of the Delivery Period with respect to a conversion of Series E
Preferred Stock for any reason, then (unless the holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a
holder of Common Stock by so notifying the Corporation within five Trading Days after the
expiration of such Delivery Period) the holder shall regain the rights of a holder of Series E
Preferred Stock with respect to such unconverted shares of Series E Preferred Stock and the
Corporation shall, as soon as practicable, return any certificate representing such
unconverted shares to the holder. In all cases, the holder shall retain all of its rights and
remedies for the Corporation’s failure to convert Series E Preferred Stock.
13
E. Waiver. Notwithstanding any provision in this Certificate of Designations to the
contrary, anyright or preference of the holders of Series E Preferred Stock granted hereunder may
be waived as to all shares of Series E Preferred Stock (and the holders thereof) upon the written
consent of the Series E Requisite Holders, unless a higher percentage is required by applicable
law, in which case the written consent of the holders of not less than such higher percentage shall
be required; provided, however, that if a waiver would affect adversely the rights, powers,
preferences or privileges of only a portion of the Series E Preferred Stock but shall not so affect
the rights, powers, preferences or privileges of all shares of Series E Preferred Stock, this
paragraph shall require the written consent of the holders of all shares so affected.
F. Reference to Other Agreements and Documents. When the terms of this Certificate of
Designations refers to a specific agreement or other document to determine the meaning or operation
of a provision hereof, the secretary of the Corporation shall maintain a copy of such agreement or
document at the principal executive offices of the Corporation and a copy thereof shall be provided
free of charge to any stockholder who makes a request therefor. Unless otherwise provided in this
Certificate of Designations, a reference to any specific agreement or other document shall be
deemed a reference to such agreement or document as amended from time to time in accordance with
the terms of such agreement or document.
G. Severability. If any term of any series of Series E Preferred Stock is invalid,
unlawful, or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, all other
terms of such series of Series E Preferred Stock as set forth herein which can be given effect
without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable term will, nevertheless, remain in full force and
effect, and no term of any series of Series E Preferred Stock will be deemed dependent upon any
other such term unless so expressed in this Certificate of Designations.
H.
Force Majeure. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the failure of any
party to timely satisfy obligations hereunder shall be excused to the extent that (i) such failure
follows the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event (defined below), and (ii) such Force Majeure Event
has materially adversely affected the ability of such party (or its agents, including banks,
transfer agents, and clearinghouses) to perform hereunder. A failure to perform shall be excused
only for so long as the Force Majeure Event continues to materially adversely affect such person’s
ability to perform. For purposes of this Section, “
Force Majeure Event” shall mean the occurrence
of any of the following events: (a) trading in securities generally on either the Nasdaq Stock
Market or the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum
prices shall have been generally established on any of such stock exchanges by the SEC or FINRA;
(b) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of federal, New York or
California
authorities; (c) an act of war, terrorism or hostility shall have occurred, or (d) a strike, fire,

7. Care of Collateral. The Company shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Collateral and shall take no action with respect to a transfer of the Shares
prior to an event of default. However, the Company shall have no obligation to (a) initiate any
action with respect to, or otherwise inform Pledgor of, any conversion, call, exchange right,
preemptive right, subscription right, purchase offer or other right or privilege relating to or
affecting the Collateral, (b) preserve the rights of Pledgor against adverse claims or protect the
Collateral against the possibility of a decline in market value or (c) take any action with respect
to the Collateral requested by Pledgor unless the request is made in writing and the Company
determines that the requested action will not unreasonably jeopardize the value of the Collateral
as security for the Note and other indebtedness secured hereunder. Subject to the limitations of
Paragraph 9, the Company may at any time release and deliver all or part of the Collateral to
Pledgor, and the receipt thereof by Pledgor shall constitute a complete and full acquittance for
the Collateral so released and delivered. The Company shall accordingly be discharged from any
further liability or responsibility for the Collateral, and the released Collateral shall no longer
be subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
3
8. Transfer of Collateral. The Company may not transfer the Collateral unless there
has been an event of default.
9. Release of Collateral. Provided there does not otherwise exist any event of
default under Paragraph 10, the Shares, together with any additional Collateral which may hereafter
be pledged and deposited hereunder, shall be released from pledge and returned to Pledgor in
accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Upon cancellation of the Repurchase Rights pursuant to Article VIII of the Purchase
Agreement, the Shares held as Collateral hereunder shall (subject to the applicable limitations of
Paragraph 9(c) below) be released within three days following such cancellation; provided
that the Company agrees that the Pledgor shall have the authority to cancel the certificates
representing the Shares if the Company does not timely satisfy its obligations under this Section
9(a) and may reissue the Shares in the name of the Pledgor.
(b) Any additional Collateral which may hereafter be pledged and deposited with the Company
pursuant to the requirements of Paragraph 2 shall be released at the same time Shares to which the
additional Collateral relates are to be released in accordance with the applicable provisions of
Paragraph 9(a).
(c) Under no circumstances, however, shall any Shares or any other Collateral be released if
the Repurchase Right is exercised in accordance with Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement.
10. Default.
(a) The exercise by the Company of its Repurchase Right in accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.2 of the Purchase Agreement shall constitute the sole circumstances giving rise to an
event of default under this Agreement.
(b) Upon the occurrence of such event of default, the Company may, at its election, exercise
any or all of the rights and remedies granted to a secured party under the provisions of the
California Uniform Commercial Code (as now or hereafter in effect), including (without limitation):
(i) the power to dispose of the Collateral by public or private sale; or (ii) the right to accept,
upon prior written notice to Pledgor, the Collateral in full satisfaction of the Repurchase Right
secured hereunder.
11. Other Remedies and Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies granted to the
Company pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and
remedies granted to the Company under any statute or rule of law and shall be deemed cumulative and
may be exercised successively or concurrently at the Company’s option. Any forbearance, failure or
delay by the Company in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of such right, power or remedy and shall not prejudice its rights as against
Pledgor in any respect. Every right, power and remedy of the Company under this Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect unless such right, power or remedy is specifically waived by an
instrument executed by a duly-authorized officer of the Company. Any such waiver shall be limited
to its express terms.
4
12. Costs and Expenses. All costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees)
incurred by the either party in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any right, power or
remedy granted under this Agreement shall be the sole obligation of such party.
13. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California without resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules.
14. Assignment. Neither party may assign or transfer his obligations or rights under
this Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent. This Agreement shall be binding
upon the Company and its successors and assigns and upon Pledgor and its successors and assigns.
15. Amendment. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived,
altered, modified or amended except in writing duly signed by a duly-authorized officer of Pledgor
and a duly-authorized officer of the Company.
16. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid under
applicable law, then such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, and
neither the remainder of neither such provision nor any other provisions of this Agreement shall be
affected thereby.
17. Legend. Each certificate representing the Shares shall contain a legend
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
