The undersigned, Lpath, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), hereby agrees (the “Agreement”) with Xxxxxxx Securities, Inc. (“Xxxxxxx”) to engage Xxxxxxx as its consultant on the terms and conditions set forth in this letter.
1. Engagement. The Company hereby engages Xxxxxxx, effective today, to act as its consultant during the term hereof in connection with financing alternatives. As consultant, subject to the performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder, Xxxxxxx will maintain a continuing familiarity with the business and affairs of the Company, and Xxxxxxx will, when and to the extent reasonably requested by the Company, consult with and assist the Company in the structuring, analysis, negotiation and financing of capital transactions and, to the extent Xxxxxxx deems appropriate, render general financial advice. Xxxxxxx shall not have any authority to bind the Company with respect to any transaction or other matter. The Company shall have no obligation to Xxxxxxx to proceed with any particular advice or strategy or to accept any recommendation made by Xxxxxxx; and the Company in its absolute discretion may refuse to follow Xxxxxxx’x recommendations without any obligation to Xxxxxxx except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
2. Compensation. The Company will pay to Xxxxxxx:
(a) a cash fee of 0.5% of any capital raised during the term of this Agreement, (such capital raise to be hereinafter termed the “Financing”), payable within 45 days of the closing of such financing (no such fee shall be paid if and when any of the warrants sold in the Financing are exercised)
(b) X warrants to purchase Lpath shares of common stock, with X being 0.5% of the number of shares of common stock sold in the Financing (excluding any shares underlying any warrants sold and any shares that might be acquired upon exercise of the warrants). The warrants granted shall be in substantially the same form as those Placement Agent warrants granted as compensation to the Placement Agents in the Financing. If there are any disagreements about the form of warrant, Lpath shall decide in its sole and absolute discretion.
3. Expenses. No expenses shall be reimbursed, except for those that the Company has pre-approved in writing.
4. Term. This Agreement shall terminate on February 29, 2012.
5. Representations of Xxxxxxx. Xxxxxxx represents and warrants that it is duly licensed as a broker-dealer in each jurisdiction in which its activities hereunder require registration or license and it is authorized to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Xxxxxxx, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles.
