APPENDIX A-INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
Provided that Vista has not disseminated any Report in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, then Company also agrees to forever and completely indemnify Vista, and its heirs, assignees, successors, affiliates, attorneys, agents and employees, and any and all other individuals or entities acting through or for Vista, from any and all claims that have or could have, arisen from the information contained in the Reports. Furthermore, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Vista and its officers, directors, employees, consultants, attorneys, agents, affiliates, parent company and controlling persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (Vista and each such other persons are collectively and individually referred to below as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all loss, claim, damage, liability and expense whatsoever, as incurred, including, without limitation, reasonable costs of any investigation, legal and other fees and expenses incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted, to which the Indemnified Party may become subject under any applicable federal or state law (whether in tort, contract or on any other basis) or otherwise, (i) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any private placement memorandum, registration statement (including documents, incorporated by reference) (the “Registration Statement”) or in any other written or oral communication provided by or on behalf of the Company to any actual or prospective purchaser of the securities or arising out of or based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein 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 or (ii) related to the performance by the Indemnified Party of the services contemplated by this letter agreement (including, without limitation, the offer and sale of the securities) and will reimburse the Indemnified Party for all expenses (including legal fees and expenses) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense of any pending or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not the Indemnified Party is a party and whether or not such claim, action or proceeding is initiated or brought by the Company. The Company will not be liable under clause (ii) of the foregoing indemnification provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court or arbitrator, not subject to appeal or further appeal, to have resulted directly from the Indemnified Party’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Company also agrees that the Indemnified Party shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Company related to, or arising out of, the engagement of the Indemnified Party pursuant to, or the performance by the Indemnified Party of the services contemplated by, this letter agreement except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court or arbitrator, not subject to appeal
|

Initial |
|
or further appeal, to have resulted directly from the Indemnified Party’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. If the indemnity provided above shall be unenforceable or unavailable for any reason whatsoever, the Company, its successors and assigns, and the Indemnified Party shall contribute to all such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all costs of any investigation, legal or other fees and expenses incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claim asserted) (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and Vista under the terms of this letter agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided for by clause (i) of this sentence is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i), but also the relative fault of the Company and Vista in connection with the matter(s) as to which contribution is to be made. The relative benefits received by the Company and Vista shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the fee the Company actually pays to Vista bears to the total value of the consideration paid or to be paid by the Company and/or the Company’s shareholders in the transaction(s) contemplated in this letter agreement. The relative fault of the Company and Vista shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by Vista and the Company’s and Vista’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct. The Company and Vista agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this paragraph were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account these equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by law, in no event shall the Indemnified Party’s share of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses exceed, in the aggregate, the fee actually paid to the Indemnified Party by the Company. The Company further agrees that, without Vista’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, it will not enter into any settlement of a lawsuit, claim or other proceeding arising out of the transactions contemplated by this agreement unless such settlement includes an explicit and unconditional release from the party bringing such lawsuit, claim or other proceeding of all such lawsuits, claims, or other proceedings against the Indemnified Parties. The Indemnified Party will give prompt written notice to the Company of any claim for which it seeks indemnification hereunder, but the omission to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may otherwise have hereunder except to the extent that the Company is damaged or prejudiced by such omission or from any liability it may have other than under this Appendix A. The Company shall have the right to assume the defense of any claim, lawsuit or action (collectively an “action”) for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder, subject to the provisions stated herein with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Company to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof, and so long as the Company performs its obligations pursuant to such election, the Company will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other
|
|
Initial |
|
|
|
Initial |
|
expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof at its own expense; provided, however, that the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company if (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Company and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded, based on advice of counsel, that there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from, or in conflict with, any legal defenses which may be available to the Company (in which event the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, that the Company shall not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys for all Indemnified Parties in each jurisdiction in which counsel is needed). Despite the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall not settle any claim without the prior written approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, so long as the Company is not in material breach of this Appendix A. Also, each Indemnified Party shall make reasonable efforts to mitigate its losses and liabilities. In addition to the Company’s other obligations hereunder and without limitation, the Company agrees to pay monthly, upon receipt of itemized statements therefore, all reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred by an Indemnified Party in defending any claim of the type set forth in the preceding paragraphs or in producing documents, assisting in answering any interrogatories, giving any deposition testimony or otherwise becoming involved in any action or response to any claim relating to the engagement referred to herein, or any of the matters enumerated in the preceding paragraphs, whether or not any claim is made against an Indemnified Party or an Indemnified Party is named as a party to any such action.

Addendum to Agreement
This Addendum to Agreement (“Addendum”) is entered into as of June 6, 2011 by and between Vista Partners LLC (“Vista”) and OncoSec Medical Incorporated, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) (each of Vista and the Company, a “party” and collectively, the “parties”).
WHEREAS, Vista and the Company are parties to that certain Agreement dated as of April 27, 2011;
WHEREAS, the Agreement provides that the Company shall issue 200,000 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) to Vista and grant certain piggyback registration rights to Vista with respect to such Shares; and
WHEREAS, the Agreement does not identify each of the terms and conditions of such issuance and registration rights, and the parties desire to clarify the exact nature of such rights;
NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1. Piggyback Registration. The second complete sentence of Section 2 of the Agreement shall be construed to mean the following:
(a) If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), any of its capital stock or other securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities of participants in a Company stock plan, a registration effected on Form S-4 or a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Shares), the Company shall, at such time, give Vista written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of Vista given within five (5) days after delivery of such notice by the Company, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Shares that Vista requests to be registered.
(b) If the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Securities Act or any publicly-available written or oral guidance of the SEC staff, or any comments, requirements or requests of the SEC staff, sets forth a limitation on the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that are permitted to be registered on a particular registration statement as a secondary offering, the Company may reduce the number of Shares to be registered on such registration statement to comply with such limitation. Any stockholders of the Company having registration rights requiring the Company to file and maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement with respect to the registrable securities of the Company held by them, shall have priority over Vista with respect to the registration of such registrable securities, and the Company shall only be required to register the Shares if all such registrable securities held by such selling stockholders may first be registered on the registration statement.
(c) The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not Vista has elected to include Securities in such registration.
(d) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under this Section 1 to include any of the Shares in such underwriting unless Vista accepts the terms of the underwriting as reasonably agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by the Company (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters) and enters into an underwriting agreement in customary form with such underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including the Shares, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of Shares that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering.
2. Investor Representations. Vista hereby represents and warrants that, as of April 27, 2011 and the date hereof:
(a) No Public Sale or Distribution. Vista understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Shares as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Shares in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law. Vista is acquiring the Shares in the ordinary course of its business.
(b) Accredited Investor Status. Vista is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. A copy of the definition of “accredited investor” is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(c) Experience and Information. Vista has reviewed the Company’s reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances, prospects and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer of the Shares that have been requested by Vista. Vista, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares, and has evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Vista is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares.
(d) General Solicitation. Vista is not acquiring the Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Addendum to be duly executed by their respective authorized signatories as of the date first indicated above.
