SECTION 11.02. Default Remedies. If any Event of Default shall occur, the Lender may, by Notice to Borrower, (a) exercise all rights and remedies available to the Lender hereunder and under the Security Agreement, including enforcement of the security interests created thereby, (b) declare the Loan, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Note by Borrower to be immediately due and payable, whereupon all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable, all without diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest or further notice of any kind, which are expressly waived by Borrower and (c) declare the obligations of the Lender hereunder to be terminated, whereupon such obligations shall terminate; provided, however, that if any event of any kind referred to in Section 11.01(i) occurs, the obligations of the Lender hereunder shall immediately terminate, all amounts payable hereunder by Borrower shall become immediately due and payable and the Lender shall be entitled to exercise rights and remedies under the Security Agreement without diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower. Each Notice delivered pursuant to this Section 11.02 shall be effective when sent.
SECTION 11.03. Right of Set-off; Sharing of Set-off.
(a) If any amount payable hereunder is not paid as and when due, Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Lender and each Affiliate of the Lender (i) to proceed, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, without prior notice, by right of set-off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or otherwise, against any assets of Borrower in any currency that may at any time be in the possession of the Lender or such Affiliate, to the full extent of all amounts payable to the Lender hereunder or (ii) to charge to Borrower’s account with Lender the full extent of all amounts payable by Borrower to the Lender hereunder; provided, however, that the Lender shall notify Borrower of the exercise of such right promptly following such exercise.
(b) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations owed to such Lender resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other obligations owed to such Lender greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the other Lenders of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant.
Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or any similar law any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff or counterclaim to which this Section 11.03 applies, such Lender shall to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights to which the Lender is entitled under this Section 11.03 to share in the benefits of the recovery of such secured claim.
SECTION 11.04. Rights Not Exclusive. The rights provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers, privileges or remedies provided by Law.
ARTICLE XII
INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 12.01. Funding Losses. If Borrower fails to borrow any amount on the Closing Date after Notice of Borrowing has been given to the Lender in accordance with Section 2.02, Borrower shall reimburse the Lender within three Business Days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by the Lender including any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties; provided that the Lender shall have delivered to Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense.
SECTION 12.02. Increased Costs. Except as to Taxes (it being understood that Borrower’s liability for Taxes will be exclusively determined under Article V), Borrower shall reimburse the Lender on demand for all increases in costs incurred by the Lender and all reductions in amounts received or receivable by the Lender or in the rate of return on the Lender’s capital, as reasonably determined by the Lender, that are attributable to the Loan or the performance by the Lender of its obligations under this Agreement and that occur by reason of the promulgation after the date hereof of any Law or treaty or any change after the date hereof in any Law or treaty or in the interpretation thereof or by reason of compliance by the Lender with any direction, requirement or request (whether or not having the force of Law) of any Governmental Authority, including any such cost or reduction resulting from the imposition or amendment of any capital adequacy requirement or any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, liabilities of, deposits with or for the account of, or loans by, the Lender; provided that the Lender shall not be entitled to be reimbursed for such increased costs or reductions in amount receivable or the rate of return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which it gives notice to Borrower of such increased costs or reduction in amount receivable or rate of return.

SECTION 12.03. Other Losses.
(a) Borrower agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, the Lender and its Affiliates and their respective officers, partners, directors, trustees, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of such Indemnitee; provided Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 12.03 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.
(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Party shall assert, and each Party hereby waives, any claim against each other Party and such Party’s Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
SECTION 12.04. Assumption of Defense; Settlements. If the Lender is entitled to indemnification under this Article XII with respect to any action or proceeding brought by a third party that is also brought against Borrower, Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lender. Upon assumption by Borrower of the defense of any such action or proceeding, Borrower shall have the right to participate in such action or proceeding and to retain its own counsel but Borrower shall not be liable for any legal expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by the Lender in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) Borrower has otherwise agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) Borrower shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lender in a timely manner or (iii) the Lender shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting interests between Borrower and the Lender, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Lender that are different from or additional to those available to Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more

than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for the Lender, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to its regular counsel, is required in order to effectively defend against such action or proceeding. Borrower shall not consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of any action defended by Borrower in accordance with the foregoing without the prior written consent of the Lender unless such compromise or settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of the Lender from all liability arising out of such action and (y) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the Lender. Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Lender for any amount paid or payable by the Lender in the settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation without the written consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
ARTICLE XIII
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 13.01. Assignments.
(a) Borrower shall not be permitted to assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Lender and any purported assignment in violation of this Section 13.01(a) shall be null and void.
(b) Lender may at any time assign all its rights and obligations hereunder in whole or in part (each an “Assignee”); provided, however, that to the extent rights and obligations hereunder are assigned to more than one Assignee, Agent shall be designated as the agent of all Assignees and any and all obligations of Borrower under this Agreement shall thereafter be coordinated through such agent so that Borrower shall not be required to perform its obligations hereunder for, or on behalf of, multiple Assignees.
(c) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Borrower a written instrument of assignment in the form set forth in Exhibit R, containing the agreement of the assignee to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (an “Assignment and Acceptance”). Upon the effectiveness of a permitted assignment hereunder, (i) each reference in this Agreement to “Lender” shall be deemed to be a reference to the assignor and the assignee to the extent of their respective interests, (ii) such assignee shall be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender and (iii) the assignor shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent of the assignment, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required.
(d) In the event there are multiple Lenders, all payments of principal, interest, fees and any other amounts payable pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among the Lenders according to their proportionate interests in the Loan.
Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Secutities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omission.
50
(e) Borrower shall, from time to time at the request of the Lender, execute and deliver any documents that are necessary to give full force and effect to an assignment permitted hereunder, including a new Note in exchange for the Note held by the Lender.
(f) Except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loan, the amount of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to Borrower) shall not be less than [*****] unless Borrower otherwise consents, provided that no such consent of Borrower shall be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 13.02. Participations. Lender may at any time grant (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Loan. In the event of any such grant by the Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to Borrower, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which the Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of Borrower hereunder including the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article V and Article XII with respect to its participating interest, as though it were a Lender. No Participant shall have any rights as a Lender hereunder, including any right to make any demand hereunder or right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loan or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loan or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or release, reduce or amend this Section 13.02 in any manner adverse to such Participant, in each case, to the extent subject to such participation. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Articles V and XII with respect to its participating interest, as though it were a Lender; provided, however, a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Articles V and XII than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld).
SECTION 13.03. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
SECTION 13.04. Notices. All notices, consents, approvals, reports, designations, requests, waivers, elections and other communications (collectively, “Notices”) authorized or required to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in writing and either personally

(b) The Lockbox Escrow Agent will provide the Lockbox Calculation Agent with a daily report showing each payment received in the Lockbox Account on the previous Business Day via online access. From time to time, at a period to be defined by Company but in any event no less frequently than once per month, the Lockbox Calculation Agent shall submit a report to the Lockbox Escrow Agent and the Financial Institution (with a copy to Company) in respect of the amounts on deposit in the Lockbox Account as of the end of the relevant calculation period (each, a “Lockbox Calculation Report”), which Lockbox Calculation Report shall specify the portion thereof which is allocable to Lender and Company, respectively, by way of allocations between the Lender Concentration Account and the Company Concentration Account. Such allocations shall be calculated by the Lockbox Calculation Agent as set forth on Schedule 5. Company shall provide immediately to Lockbox Calculation Agent, on request, any data or information requested by Lockbox Calculation Agent to prepare the Lockbox Calculation Report. The Lockbox Calculation Agent shall be responsible for preparing the Lockbox Calculation Report in good faith and in a consistent and reasonable manner in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
(c) At the time the Lockbox Calculation Agent submits any Lockbox Calculation Report in relation to the Lockbox Account, the Lockbox Calculation Agent shall also provide the Lockbox Escrow Agent with supporting calculations and other back-up information in reasonable detail, certified by a senior financial officer of the Lockbox Calculation Agent.

Escrow Agent shall distribute such sums in accordance with the revised Lockbox Calculation Report; if not, then the Lockbox Escrow Agent will make appropriate offsets/credits with respect to future distributions from the Lockbox Account, based on information provided to it by the Lockbox Calculation Agent (which the Lockbox Calculation Agent undertakes to do on a prompt basis).
(f) The Lockbox Escrow Agent shall rely on the information contained in any Lockbox Calculation Report provided to it from time to time by the Lockbox Calculation Agent, and shall, on the next Business Day after receipt thereof, transfer amounts on deposit in the Lockbox Account in accordance with the information contained in any such Lockbox Calculation Report, without any duty to investigate. The Lockbox Escrow Agent shall have no liability to any party hereto on account of disbursing funds in the Lockbox Account on the basis of information contained in any such Lockbox Calculation Report.
Section 4. Control of the Concentration Accounts.
(a) In order to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Company Concentration Account (and any and all Deposit Funds held therein or credited thereto from time to time) by “control” pursuant to Section 9-104 of the UCC, Company, Lender and the Financial Institution agree as follows: So long as no Event of Default or Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, Company shall be entitled to give Account Instructions to the Financial Institution directing the disposition, transfer, withdrawal, disbursement, investment or redemption of any Deposit Funds in or credited to the Company Concentration Account, and the Financial Institution shall comply with such Account Instructions from Company (without any consent being required from Lender). Upon receiving notice from Lender, however (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be given by Lender upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Termination Event), the Financial Institution shall cease complying with any and all Account Instructions from Company pertaining to or concerning the Company Concentration Account or any Deposit Funds therein or credited thereto. At such time, only Lender shall be entitled to give Account Instructions to the Financial Institution directing the disposition, transfer, withdrawal, disbursement, investment or redemption of any Deposit Funds in or credited to the Company Concentration Account until such time as Lender otherwise advises in writing (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be given promptly following the cure or waiver of such Event of Default or Termination Event).
(b) (1) Only Lender shall be entitled to give Account Instructions directing the disposition, transfer, withdrawal, disbursement, investment or redemption of any Deposit Funds in or credited to the Lender Concentration Account, and the Financial Institution shall comply with such Account Instructions from Lender from time to time. The parties acknowledge that the Lender Concentration Account is the unencumbered property of the Lender.
(2) Only Company shall be entitled to give Account Instructions directing the disposition, transfer, withdrawal, disbursement, investment or redemption of any Deposit Funds in or credited to the Company Concentration Account prior to an Event of Default and the Financial Institution shall comply with such Account Instructions from Company from time to time.
(c) The Financial Institution shall not, and shall not agree with any Third Party to, comply with any Account Instructions or other instructions, orders or directions from a Third Party pertaining to or concerning any Concentration Account or any Deposit Funds therein or

credited thereto, without the prior written consent of Lender and Company (in the case of the Company Concentration Account, prior to the earlier of an Event of Default or a Termination Event) and Lender (in the case of the Lender Concentration Account and, from and after the earlier of an Event of Default or a Termination Event that has not been cured or waived, the Company Concentration Account).
Section 5. Financial Institution’s Obligations with respect to the Deposit Accounts.
(a) The Financial Institution agrees to maintain each Deposit Account separately, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and agrees not to commingle the Deposit Funds in or credited to, or designated for deposit in, any Deposit Account with any other Deposit Funds held on behalf of Company, Lender or any other person or entity. The Financial Institution shall not apply any Deposit Funds received in the Deposit Accounts and not to make disbursements from or debits to the Deposit Accounts other than in accordance with this Agreement. In the event there are multiple Lenders, Xxxxx Healthcare Royalty Partners, L.P. shall be designated as the agent of all such Lenders (the “Lender Agent”), and the Financial Institution shall distribute Deposit Funds in the Lender Concentration Account in accordance with the written instructions of the Lender Agent (the intent being that such distributions shall be made on a pro rata basis to the Lenders according to their proportionate interests in the Loan as required by Section 13.01(d) of the Loan Agreement). Prior to making any distributions to a new Lender, the Financial Institution will require such Lender to deliver to the Lockbox Escrow Agent and Financial Institution a W-8 or W-9 Internal Revenue Service form or any other similar form issued by the relevant taxing authority duly executed by it.
(b) The Financial Institution acknowledges that the Company Concentration Account and the Company’s interest in the Lockbox Account, and any Deposit Funds therein or credited thereto, are subject to the security interest of Lender therein. Each of the Lockbox Escrow Agent and the Financial Institution acknowledges that the Company has granted Lender a security interest over the Company Concentration Account and Company’s interest in the Lockbox Account.
(c) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that items deposited in any Deposit Account shall be deemed to bear the valid and legally binding endorsement of the payee and to comply with all of the Financial Institution’s requirements for the supplying of missing endorsements, now or hereafter in effect. Any deposit made into any Deposit Account shall be deemed deposited therein when the funds in respect of such deposit shall become cleared funds.
(d) The Financial Institution shall redeposit with advice any item returned for any reason. If any item is returned a second time, the Financial Institution will charge the amount of such item against the Lockbox Account if the same contains sufficient funds to pay the amount of the returned item. If the balance in the Lockbox Account is not sufficient to pay the amount of the returned item, the Financial Institution shall notify Company and Lender. Company agrees to reimburse the Financial Institution for the same promptly after such notification. The Financial Institution shall also notify Company and Lender of its current standard charges for returned items and Company agrees to pay the Financial Institution such charges promptly after such notification. The Financial Institution shall return the item along with the debit advice to

Company, with a copy to Lender. The Financial Institution is granted the further right to debit from any Deposit Account any amounts deposited therein in error or as necessary to correct processing errors.
(e) Each week that the Financial Institution receives any Deposit Funds in any Deposit Account, the Financial Institution shall notify Company and Lender in writing that it has received such Deposit Funds into such account or accounts, and the Financial Institution shall set forth in such writing (i) the names of the accounts into which such Deposit Funds were received, if such payments have been received, (ii) the date of receipt of such Deposit Funds, (iii) the amount of such receipt and (iv) the name of the payor.
(f) The Financial Institution shall at all times provide the parties hereto with online computer access, in a format or formats reasonably acceptable to Company and Lender, to account balances, collection and remittance information relative to the Deposit Accounts and within five (5) Business Days following the end of each month, shall cause to be made available to Company and Lender by means of online computer access, and within ten (10) Business Days following the end of each month shall send or cause to be sent a statement for such month to Company and Lender in each case outlining a list of (i) the amounts, if any, transferred into or from any Deposit Account during the preceding month, the dates of each such transfer and the accounts into which such transfers were made, (ii) the balance, if any, in each Deposit Account as of the end of such month, and (iii) any other debits or credits made during the month to each Deposit Account together with a description thereof.
(g) Any transfer of funds from the Lockbox Account to the Company Concentration Account shall be made by wire transfer or similar method of transfer of immediately available funds, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Company. Any transfer of funds from the Lockbox Account to the Lender Concentration Account shall be made by wire transfer or similar method of transfer of immediately available funds, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Lender.
Section 6. Resignation and Replacement of Lockbox Escrow Agent.
(a) The Lockbox Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time, by giving written notice to the Financial Institution, Company and Lender, to resign and be discharged of the responsibilities hereby created, such resignation to become effective upon (i) the appointment of a successor Lockbox Escrow Agent by Company and Lender and (ii) the acceptance of such appointment by such successor Lockbox Escrow Agent. If no successor Lockbox Escrow Agent shall be appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within ninety (90) days after the date the Lockbox Escrow Agent gives the aforesaid notice of resignation, the Lockbox Escrow Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Lockbox Escrow Agent to act until such time, if any, as a successor Lockbox Escrow Agent shall have been appointed as provided in this Section. Any successor so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor Lockbox Escrow Agent appointed by Company and Lender.
Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Secutities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omission.
(b) The Company and Lender shall have the right, upon mutual agreement, at any time, to remove the Lockbox Escrow Agent and appoint a successor Lockbox Escrow Agent, such removal to be effective upon the acceptance of such appointment by the successor Lockbox Escrow Agent.
(c) Any resigning or removed Lockbox Escrow Agent shall be entitled to the fees and indemnities set forth herein to the extent incurred or arising, or relating to events occurring, before such resignation or removal.
Section 7. Resignation and Replacement of Lockbox Calculation Agent.
(a) The Lockbox Calculation Agent shall have the right, at any time, by giving written notice to the Financial Institution, Company and Lender, to resign and be discharged of the responsibilities hereby created, such resignation to become effective upon (i) the appointment of a successor Lockbox Calculation Agent by Lender and Company, and (ii) the acceptance of such appointment by such successor Lockbox Calculation Agent. If no successor Lockbox Calculation Agent shall be appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within ninety (90) days after the date the Lockbox Calculation Agent gives the aforesaid notice of resignation, the Lockbox Calculation Agent or Lender may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Lockbox Calculation Agent to act until such time, if any, as a successor Lockbox Calculation Agent shall have been appointed as provided in this Section. Any successor so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor Lockbox Calculation Agent appointed by Lender and Company.
(b) Upon the determination by Lender or, if the Lockbox Calculation Agent at such time is not Company or an Affiliate thereof, Company (in each case, whether Lender or Company, acting reasonably and in good faith), that a Termination Event has occurred (or, where Company is acting as Lockbox Calculation Agent, an Event of Default has occurred), Lender or Company, as the case may be, shall have the right to remove the Lockbox Calculation Agent by providing written notice of such determination to the other parties hereto; provided that, at Lender’s option, the Lockbox Calculation Agent may immediately be suspended pending the resolution of any dispute regarding the provision of such a notice as described in this Section 7(b). In the event such a determination is made, Lender or Company, as the case may be, may dispute such determination by providing written notice to the other party within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the removal notice. If no such dispute notice is so provided, the Lockbox Calculation Agent shall be removed and a successor Lockbox Calculation Agent shall be selected in accordance with Section 7(c). If such a dispute notice is timely provided, then the relevant parties shall first attempt to reach an amicable settlement through mutual consultations and negotiations. If the parties are unable to reach an amicable settlement within ten (10) Business Days from the date on which the dispute was first notified in writing, then any party shall be entitled to submit the dispute to litigation proceedings in accordance with the terms hereof. Pending the resolution of any such dispute, (unless the Lockbox Calculation Agent has been suspended as described above) the party then serving as Lockbox Calculation Agent may continue to serve in such role, provided that, during the pendency of any such dispute, it delivers Lockbox Calculation Reports no less frequently than once per week to each of the Lockbox Escrow Agent, Company and Lender. If, following the commencement of any dispute regarding the existence

of a Termination Event, Company and Lender agree to remove the Lockbox Calculation Agent or it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that a Termination Event has in fact occurred, then the Lockbox Calculation Agent shall be removed and a replacement selected in accordance with Section 7(c). In all events, removal of the Lockbox Calculation Agent shall only become effective upon the acceptance by the successor Lockbox Calculation Agent of its appointment. Any resigning or removed Lockbox Calculation Agent shall be entitled to the fees and indemnities set forth herein to the extent incurred or arising, or relating to events occurring, before such resignation or removal.
(c) In connection with removal of the Lockbox Calculation Agent pursuant to Section 7(b), a successor Lockbox Calculation Agent shall be selected by Lender and Company, unless the removed Lockbox Calculation Agent shall be Company or an Affiliate thereof, in which event such Agent shall be chosen by Lender; provided, however, that such successor shall be chosen from the list on Schedule 6 to this Agreement or be a similar entity with a national reputation in the United States. When required to mutually agree, in the event that Company and Lender do not agree upon a successor within thirty (30) days of the date on which a party notified the others of its decision to remove the Lockbox Calculation Agent (or, if such removal is disputed in accordance with Section 7(b) hereof, within thirty (30) days of the resolution of such dispute), Company, using its reasonable discretion, shall promptly appoint a successor Lockbox Calculation Agent from among those persons listed on Schedule 6 or a similar entity with a national reputation in the United States (excluding, for those purposes, any Person previously removed as Lockbox Calculation Agent or any Person that is the subject of a pending dispute).
Section 8. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In the event that the Financial Institution has obtained or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in, lien on, or encumbrance, claim or (except as provided in the next sentence) right of set-off against, any Deposit Account or any security entitlement or any Deposit Funds therein or credited thereto, the Financial Institution hereby agrees that such security interest, lien, encumbrance, claim, and right of set-off shall be subordinate to any security interest or other interest of Lender therein and the security entitlement or any Deposit Funds therein or credited thereto. The Financial Institution agrees not to exercise any present or future right of recoupment or set-off against any Deposit Account or to assert against any Deposit Account any present or future security interest, banker’s lien or any other lien or claim (including claim for penalties) that the Financial Institution may at any time have against or in any Deposit Account or any security entitlement or any Deposit Funds therein or credited thereto; provided, however, that, the Financial Institution may set-off against the Lockbox Account the face amount of any checks which have been credited to any Deposit Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds in accordance with Section 5(d).
Section 9. Certain Matters Affecting the Financial Institution, Lockbox Escrow Agent and Lockbox Calculation Agent.
(a) Each of the Financial Institution, the Lockbox Escrow Agent and the Lockbox Calculation Agent (in its capacity as such) shall perform only such duties and obligations as are expressly set forth herein with respect to it and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement (it being understood that the foregoing shall not otherwise limit any duty or obligation

of Company in its individual capacity). None of the Financial Institution, the Lockbox Escrow Agent or the Lockbox Calculation Agent (in its capacity as such) shall have any liability under any agreement other than this Agreement, nor shall the Financial Institution or the Lockbox Calculation Agent have any duty to inquire as to the provisions of any agreement other than this Agreement.
(b) Each of the Financial Institution and the Lockbox Escrow Agent may rely upon, and shall not be liable for acting in accordance with this Agreement upon, any written notice, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, or for refraining from acting if and to the extent that such written notice, instruction or request requires it to refrain from acting. Neither the Financial Institution nor the Lockbox Escrow Agent shall be under a duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document.
(c) In the event any Account Instruction, Lockbox Calculation Report or other notice is given to the Lockbox Escrow Agent or Financial Institution by Company or Lender, whether in writing, by facsimile or telecopier, or otherwise, each of the Lockbox Escrow Agent and Financial Institution is authorized to seek confirmation thereof by telephone call-back to, as applicable, from one or more of such Person’s Authorized Representatives, and each of the Financial Institution and Lockbox Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the Authorized Representative so designated. The Authorized Representatives and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in a writing actually received and acknowledged by the Financial Institution and the Lockbox Escrow Agent. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that such security procedures are commercially reasonable.
(d) Company and Lender acknowledge that repetitive funds transfer instructions may be given to the Lockbox Escrow Agent or Financial Institution for one or more beneficiaries where only the date of the requested transfer, the amount of funds to be transferred, and/or the description of the payment shall change within the repetitive instructions (“Standing Settlement Instructions”). According, Company and Lender shall deliver to Lockbox Escrow Agent or Financial Institution such specific Standing Settlement Instructions only for each respective beneficiary as set forth in Exhibit A to this Escrow Agreement, by facsimile or other written instructions. Lockbox Escrow Agent or Financial Institution may rely solely upon such Standing Settlement Instructions and all identifying information set forth therein for each beneficiary. Lockbox Escrow Agent or Financial Institution and Company or Lender agree that such Standing Settlement Instructions shall be effective as the funds transfer instructions of Company or Lender, without requiring a verifying callback, whether or not authorized, if such Standing Settlement Instructions are consistent with previously authenticated Standing Settlement Instructions for that beneficiary. The parties acknowledge that such Standing Settlement Instructions are a security procedure and are commercially reasonable.
(e) Neither the Financial Institution nor the Lockbox Escrow Agent shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Financial Institution’s or the Lockbox Escrow Agent’s (as applicable) gross negligence or willful misconduct was the cause of any loss, expense, cost, damage or liability to either or both of Company or Lender.

(f) Each of the Financial Institution and the Lockbox Escrow Agent (i) shall have the right to execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through agents or attorneys (which, in the case of the Lockbox Escrow Agent, may be in addition to the Lockbox Calculation Agent), the appointment of which will be approved in writing by Company and Lender (and the Financial Institution or Lockbox Escrow Agent (as applicable) shall be liable only for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction) in the selection of any such agent or attorney) and (ii) shall have the right to consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it.
(g) Any legal entity into which the Financial Institution or the Lockbox Escrow Agent, in each case in its individual capacity, may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any legal entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Financial Institution or the Lockbox Escrow Agent, in each case in its individual capacity, shall be a party, or any legal entity to which substantially all the corporate trust business of the Financial Institution or the Lockbox Escrow Agent may be transferred, shall be the Financial Institution or Lockbox Escrow Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement without further act or notice, other than that the Financial Institution or Lockbox Escrow Agent, as applicable, shall endeavor to give prompt notice thereof to the other parties hereto (it being understood that it shall not have any liability for failure to do so).
(h) In the event that the Financial Institution or the Lockbox Escrow Agent is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement (x) because of acts of God, strikes, electrical outages, equipment or transmission failure or damage reasonably beyond its control, or any other cause reasonably beyond its control, or (y) because, upon advice of its counsel, performance would violate any applicable guideline, rule or regulation of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over it, then, in each case with respect to the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) in this subsection (g), the Financial Institution or the Lockbox Escrow Agent, as applicable, shall promptly notify Company and Lender thereof in writing and shall not be liable for damages to the other parties for any unforeseeable damages resulting from such failure to perform or otherwise from such causes. Performance under this Agreement by the Financial Institution shall resume when it is able to perform substantially its duties hereunder.
(i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall any of the Financial Institution, Lockbox Escrow Agent or Lockbox Calculation Agent (other than the Company or its Affiliates) (in its capacity as such) be liable for any special, indirect, exemplary or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits), even if it has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action (it being understood that the foregoing shall not otherwise limit any duty or obligation of Company in its individual capacity).
(j) If Company and Lender shall be in a disagreement about the interpretation of this Agreement, or about the rights and obligations, or the propriety of any action contemplated by the Lockbox Escrow Agent hereunder, the Lockbox Escrow Agent may, but shall not be required to, file an appropriate civil action to resolve the disagreement. The Lockbox Escrow Agent shall be indemnified, jointly and severally, by Company and Lender for all costs, including, reasonable attorneys’ fees, in connection with such civil action, and shall continue, and be fully protected

in continuing, to perform its responsibilities under this Agreement until a final judgment, without any further right of appeal, is received or the Lockbox Escrow Agent is replaced pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement; provided, that Lender’s liability under this Section 9(j) shall be limited to costs and/or fees incurred solely as a result of Lockbox Escrow Agent’s action or inaction taken pursuant to Lender’s instructions. If there is any disagreement as to the propriety of any action of the Lockbox Escrow Agent, the Company and Lender shall meet promptly to discuss and, if so agreed, to initiate the procedure to replace the Lockbox Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement.
Section 10. Conflict with Other Agreements; Adverse Claims.
(a) In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion hereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail; provided, that Company and Lender confirm to each other that nothing herein is intended to expand, modify or limit the rights and/or obligations of Company and Lender under the Loan Agreement and/or the Security Agreement; and provided, further, that in the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the terms of the Loan Agreement and/or the Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement and/or the Security Agreement, as applicable, shall control as between Company and Lender, with the Loan Agreement taking priority over the Security Agreement.
(b) The Financial Institution hereby confirms that:
(i) there are no agreements entered into between the Financial Institution and any other person or entity with respect to any Deposit Account except for this Agreement;
(ii) it has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any person or entity (other than Lockbox Escrow Agent, Company and Lender) relating to the Deposit Accounts and/or any Deposit Funds therein or credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with any “entitlement orders” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC), orders, directions or any instructions of such person or entity concerning any of the Deposit Accounts or the disposition, withdrawal or disbursement of any Deposit Funds therein or credited thereto; and
(iii) except for the claims and interests of Lockbox Escrow Agent, Company and Lender in the Deposit Accounts and the Deposit Funds therein or credited thereto, the Financial Institution does not know of any security interest in, lien on, claim to, or interest in any Deposit Account or in any “financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC), funds, monies, checks or other items in or credited to the Deposit Accounts. If any person or entity asserts any security interest, lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against any of the Deposit Accounts or any Deposit Funds therein or credited thereto, other than the security interest of Lender therein, the Financial Institution will promptly notify Lockbox Escrow Agent, Company and Lender thereof in writing.

(a) Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Financial Institution. The Financial Institution hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Company and Lender that:

Section 12. Further Assurances. Borrower agrees that, from time to time, at its cost and expense, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that Investor may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Investor to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.

Borrower hereby authorizes Investor to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of Borrower. Borrower agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement signed by Borrower shall be sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed as a financing statement in any and all jurisdictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as there exists no Event of Default, the Borrower shall not be required to obtain the consent of the other parties to the existing License Agreements and In Licenses.
Section 13. Certain Covenants of Borrower. Borrower shall:

(g) except for licenses of LFRP Intellectual Property and In Licenses in effect on the date hereof, not suffer to exist any license, lease, contract or agreement to which it is a party forming part of or used in the LFRP that contains any provision that purports to prohibit Borrower from granting to Investor a security interest in any item of Collateral including any such license, lease, contract or agreement itself;
(h) comply with all of its obligations with respect to any personal property owned or leased by it and used in the LFRP, including capital leases, operating leases and purchase money indebtedness except to the extent non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(j) not transfer, sell, convey, assign, dispose of or license the Company Physical Libraries, except (x) in the ordinary course of business of the LFRP consistent with past practices, or (y) outside the scope of the LFRP the non-exclusive licensing of the Company Physical Libraries but limited to a scope or for a use so as to not compete with the LFRP, provided, that non-exclusive licensing of the Company Physical Libraries under Internally Developed Product Agreements or under Co-Development Agreements shall not be considered in breach hereof, so long as in no event shall any third party or Affiliate be granted a license or other rights under the Company Physical Libraries in a way that would allow such third party or Affiliate to operate a funded research or licensing program that would compete with the LFRP.
(k) concurrently with Borrower’s delivery of a Business Report pursuant to Section 9.03(e) of the Loan Agreement, confirm the attachment of the security interest in the registered intellectual property of Borrower created by this Agreement by execution of Copyright Security Agreement or a Patent Security Agreement, as applicable, with respect to any such registered intellectual property not subject at such time to a Patent Security Agreement or a Copyright Security Agreement, as applicable, and the filing of such agreement with the patent office or any other Governmental Authority as shall be necessary to create, preserve, protect or perfect Investor’s security interest in such intellectual property as may be reasonably requested by Investor.

(vi) not Transfer the Collateral, other than the Proceeds the Borrower is permitted to receive in accordance with the Lockbox Agreement, except (x) with respect to the LFRP, licensing out in the ordinary course of business of the LFRP consistent with past practices, or (y) outside the scope of the LFRP, non-exclusive licensing out of LFRP Intellectual Property (including the provision of LFRP Libraries or other biological material) but limited to a scope or for a use so as not to compete with the LFRP; provided, that non-exclusive licensing of LFRP Intellectual Property under Internally Developed Product Agreements or under Co-Development Agreements shall not be considered in breach hereof, so long as in no event shall any third party or Affiliate be granted a license or other rights under the LFRP Intellectual Property (including the provision of LFRP Libraries or other biological material) in a way that would allow such third party or Affiliate to operate a funded research or licensing program that would compete with the LFRP.
(vii) in the event that Borrower has rights to a commercial tort claim constituting Collateral, notify Investor and provide a detailed description of the claim and shall grant Investor a security interest therein in a manner specified by Investor; and
(viii) in the event that Borrower shall have a security interest in any property securing any Collateral, promptly execute an assignment of such security interest to Investor.
(b) Borrower shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, (A) take any and all actions and make all payments, which are necessary and desirable to diligently maintain the LFRP Patents owned by it; (B) defend such LFRP Patents against any claims of invalidity or unenforceability;
Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Secutities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omission.
and (C) take commercially reasonable measures to protect the proprietary nature of each item of LFRP Intellectual Property and to maintain in confidence all confidential information compromising a part thereof; provided, that in no event shall Borrower be required to take any action under subsection (B) or (C) if: (i) the failure to take action could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the reasonably estimated cost to Borrower associated with pursuing such action would outweigh the reasonably estimated extent by which the Included Receipts and the interest in the Royalties retained by the Borrower would benefit as a result of successfully pursuing such action, or (iii) Borrower obtains the Required Lender’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (as in the case, for example, where pursuing such action would jeopardize the LFRP Intellectual Property or adversely effect the LFRP as a whole). Consent hereunder shall be provided or denied within ten (10) Business Days after notice and provision of such information as may be reasonably requested by the Lender from the Borrower. Borrower shall immediately notify Lender of such claim. The parties shall consult as to strategy regarding any response to such claim. Borrower shall not abandon, or fail to take any action necessary or desirable to prevent the disclaimer or abandonment of material LFRP Patents owned by it.
(c) Unless there shall occur and be continuing any Event of Default and the Investor has accelerated the Obligations under the Loan Agreement, Borrower shall have the right to commence and prosecute in its own name, as the party in interest, for its own benefit and at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, such applications for protection of the LFRP Intellectual Property and suits, proceedings or other actions to prevent the infringement, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value or other damage as are necessary to protect the LFRP Intellectual Property. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Investor shall have the right but shall in no way be obligated to file applications for protection of the LFRP Intellectual Property and/or bring suit in the name of the Borrower or Investor to enforce the LFRP Intellectual Property and any license thereunder. In the event of such suit, the Borrower shall, at the reasonable request of the Investor, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents requested by the Investor in aid of such enforcement and the Borrower shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Investor for all costs and expenses incurred by the Investor in the exercise of its rights under this Section 14(c) in accordance with the Loan Agreement. In the event that the Investor shall elect not to bring suit to enforce the LFRP Intellectual Property, the Borrower agrees, at the reasonable request of the Investor, to take all commercially reasonable actions necessary, whether by suit, proceeding or other action, to prevent the infringement, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value of or other damage to any of the LFRP Intellectual Property by any person.
(d) Borrower shall, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, execute and deliver to Investor five (5) originals of a Special Power of Attorney in the form of Exhibit A annexed hereto for execution of an assignment of the Collateral to Investor, or the implementation of the sale or other disposition of the Collateral pursuant to Investor’s good faith exercise of the rights and remedies granted hereunder; provided, however, Investor agrees that it will not exercise its rights under such Special Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(e) Borrower shall, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, execute and deliver to Investor the Patent Security Agreement, the Copyright Security Agreement
Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Secutities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omission.
and all other documents, instruments and other items as may be necessary for Investor to file such agreements with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and United States Copyright Office and any similar domestic or foreign office, department or agency. Borrower shall upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents, waivers and agreements requested by Investor that are necessary to enable Investor to exercise its remedies with respect to the Collateral.
(f) Certain Rights upon an Event of Default before and following a Foreclosure.
(i) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon notice by Investor (the “Notice Event”):
(1) Borrower hereby agrees to grant and hereby grants to Investor effective upon the Notice Event an exclusive worldwide royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, under the Shared Intellectual Property (the “Marks”)) to the extent permitted under the In Licenses solely to carry out the LFRP program (including through a designee other than a phage-display company that competes with Borrower) in the same general manner as carried out by Borrower immediately prior to any such Event of Default; provided that such license shall be subject to any licenses granted by Borrower to third parties (not in violation of the Loan Agreement) prior to the date of the grant to Investor hereunder;
(2) Borrower hereby agrees to grant and hereby grants to Investor effective upon the Notice Event an exclusive royalty-free limited license to use and display the Marks, solely in association with any product or service used or provided in connection with the LFRP in the same general manner and at least as high a level of quality as carried out by Borrower immediately prior to any such Event of Default; provided, that (I) Borrower shall have the right to monitor any such product or service for the purpose of protecting and maintaining the level of quality established by Borrower prior to any such Event of Default; (II) Investor acknowledges that the goodwill and other benefits associated with such Marks shall inure to the benefit of Borrower; and (III) Investor shall not use or omit use of the Marks in any manner which would injure or destroy their value or diminish Borrower’s property rights; and provided, further, that, in the event Borrower advises Investor of any discrepancy in the level of quality of such products or services, Borrower shall have the right to terminate the use and display of the Marks by Investor (but not the other rights licensed hereunder) until such time as the discrepancy is corrected; and
(3) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree and acknowledge that (A) Investor shall not practice the licenses set forth in this Section 14(e)(i) unless and until the occurrence of an Event of Default and only for so long as such Event of Default continues; provided that such licenses shall immediately terminate on the date that the security interest granted under this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 20 hereof, and (B) subject to the grant of the security interest under and the other provisions of this Agreement and the Loan Agreement, Borrower shall retain ownership of its rights under the Shared Intellectual Property

(including the Marks) and shall be free to practice, exploit and license the Shared Intellectual Property on a non-exclusive basis outside the scope of the LFRP but limited to a scope or for a use so as to not compete with the LFRP; provided that non-exclusive licensing of Shared Intellectual Property under Internally Developed Product Agreements or under Co-Development Agreements shall not be considered in breach hereof, so long as in no event shall any third party or Affiliate be granted a license or other rights under the Shared Intellectual Property in a way that would allow such third party or Affiliate to operate a funded research or licensing program that would compete with the LFRP.
(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, following or in connection with Investor’s exercise of the foreclosure remedies hereunder:
(1) Investor hereby agrees to grant and hereby grants to Borrower a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free worldwide license, with the right to sublicense, under the Shared Intellectual Property (other than the Marks) to the extent permitted under the In Licenses, for any purpose outside the LFRP on a non-exclusive basis, but limited to a scope or for a use so as to not compete with the LFRP; provided that non-exclusive licensing of Shared Intellectual Property under Internally Developed Product Agreements or under Co-Development Agreements shall not be considered in breach hereof, so long as in no event shall any third party or Affiliate be granted a license or other rights under the Shared Intellectual Property in a way that would allow such third party or Affiliate to operate a funded research or licensing program that would compete with the LFRP.
(2) Investor hereby agrees to grant and hereby grants to Borrower a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free limited license to use and display the Marks in association with any product or service used or provided in connection with the Borrower’s business outside of the LFRP, within the scope permitted under Section 14(e)(ii)(1), above, in the same general manner and at least as high a level of quality as carried out by Borrower immediately prior to any such foreclosure; provided, that (I) Investor shall have the right to monitor any such product or service for the purpose of protecting and maintaining the level of quality established by Borrower prior to any such foreclosure; (II) Borrower acknowledges that the goodwill and other benefits associated with such Marks shall inure to the benefit of Investor; and (III) Borrower shall not use or omit use of the Marks in any manner which would injure or destroy their value or diminish Investor’s property rights; and provided, further, that, in the event Investor advises Borrower of any discrepancy in the level of quality of such products or services, Investor shall have the right to terminate the use and display of the Marks (but not the other rights licensed hereunder) by Borrower until such time as the discrepancy is corrected; and
(3) Investor hereby agrees, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to make, or to permit Borrower to make, copies of all books, records, data bases, and information (including the handbooks, manuals and sequence information) related
Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Secutities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omission.
to the LFRP and to use all Shared Intellectual Property solely for the purpose of the conduct of the business of Borrower outside the LFRP within the scope permitted under Section 14(e)(ii)(1), above. For avoidance of doubt, the licenses granted to the Borrower in Section 14(e)(ii) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that such licenses are licenses of “intellectual property” for the purposes of Section 365 (n) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(g) Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after the date hereof, prepare the Duplicate Libraries and shall thereafter promptly deliver the Duplicate Libraries to Xxxxxx Clinical Services, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (phone: (000) 000-0000) or such other secure location or locations as are reasonably acceptable to Borrower and Investor, clearly identified as the Duplicate Libraries prepared for the benefit of Investor, and segregated from property of Borrower. The Duplicate Libraries shall be subject to storage and access on conditions substantially similar to those set forth in Exhibit E.
(h) Borrower shall: (i) maintain copies of all source and object codes for all Software at one or more safe and secure locations reasonably acceptable to Investor, (ii) keep Investor fully informed of each such location, and (iii) maintain the currency of all such Software stored thereat.
(i) Borrower shall, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, execute and deliver to Investor the Perfection Certificate.
(j) Borrower agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement will cause irreparable injury to Investor, that Investor has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained herein shall be specifically enforceable against Borrower, and Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants.
(k) The Borrower shall: (a) notify in reasonable detail Investor promptly, but in no event later than quarterly (on the earlier of the date on which the Business Report is delivered by the Borrower or the date on which such Business Report is due in each fiscal quarter) after the acquisition, execution or filing thereof, of any (i) License Agreements, LFRP Patents, Co-Development Agreements, payments under which form part of the Collateral, and In Licenses, and (b) on the last day of each quarter provide, in reasonable detail, updates to Schedules 2(b)(i), 2(b)(ii) 2(c), 2(e), 2(j)(i) and 2(j)(ii), which would make the representations and warranties contained in Section 11(c)(i) true, correct and complete as of such date of the delivery of such Business Report. Upon the delivery and acceptance of such updated schedules by Investor, such schedules will be automatically deemed to amend and restate Schedules 2(b)(i), 2(b)(ii), 2(c), 2(e), 2(j)(i) and 2(j)(ii) hereto.
Section 15. Investor Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Investor, or any person or agent as Investor may designate as such, Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower, Investor or otherwise, from time to time in Investor’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that Investor may in its good faith sole discretion deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the following:
Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Secutities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omission.
(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to ask for, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for monies due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral, and to manage the LFRP, including taking actions under the License Agreements and In Licenses;
(b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to receive, direct payment of, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (a) above;
(c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that Investor may in its good faith sole discretion deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Investor with respect to any of the Collateral;
(d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to pay or discharge taxes or liens levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by Investor in its sole discretion, any such payments made by Investor to become obligations of Borrower to Investor, due and payable immediately without demand;
(e) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to sign and endorse any invoices, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents relating to the Collateral; and
(f) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to perform any obligations of the Borrower under the Transaction Documents with the Borrower which the Borrower has not performed.
(g) upon and at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to prepare, file and sign Borrower’s name on an assignment document in such form as Investor may in its sole discretion deem necessary or desirable to transfer ownership of the Collateral to Investor or an assignee or transferee of Investor, which transfer expressly shall be subject to the rights of the Borrower in such Collateral set forth in Section 14(e) hereof.
Section 16. Standard of Care. The powers conferred on Investor hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of good faith and of reasonable care in the accounting for monies actually received by Investor hereunder, Investor shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Investor shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Investor accords its own property. The Investor shall act as agent hereunder for any other Lenders that become a party to the Loan Agreement after the date hereof and the security interest granted hereunder to the Investor is also granted to the Investor for the benefit of other Lenders. Except as provided in the Loan Agreement, the Investor shall have no duty to any Lender hereunder and its sole responsibility shall be limited to (i) being named as a secured party hereunder and in any UCC financing statement, intellectual property
Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Secutities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omission.
filing, Lockbox Agreement, any escrow agreement or other documents, instrument or agreement entered into or filed pursuant hereto and (ii) holding any possessory Collateral delivered to it by the Company pursuant hereto, in each case for the benefit of all Lenders. The Investor is entitled to, but has no obligation to exercise any rights or remedies hereunder or under applicable law.
Section 17. Remedies Upon Event of Default.
(a) If, and only if, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Investor may exercise in respect of the Collateral (i) all rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Loan Agreement or otherwise available to it, (ii) all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the Collateral), in all relevant jurisdictions, and (iii) the rights to:
(i) require Borrower to, and Borrower hereby agrees that it will at its cost and expense and upon request of Investor forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Investor and make it available to Investor at a place to be designated by Investor that is reasonably convenient to both parties;
(ii) personally or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from Borrower or any other person who has possession of any part thereof, with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon Borrower’s premises where any of the Collateral is located and remove same;
(iii) foreclose or otherwise enforce Investor’s security interest in any manner permitted by law or provided for in this Agreement;
(iv) without notice except as may be required by applicable law and that cannot be waived, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any place or places for cash, on credit, or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as Investor may deem commercially reasonable; and
(v) without notice, exercise any right to set-off or offset provided by law.
(b) Until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall, subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement and the Lockbox Agreement, continue to collect, at its own cost and expense, all amounts due or to become due Borrower in respect of the Collateral; it being understood and agreed that any and all such collections shall be held in trust for, and be for the benefit of, Investor. In connection with such collections; provided, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower may, subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, take such action as Borrower reasonably may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Collateral. At any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Investor shall have the right to notify the account debtors or obligors under any Collateral of the security interest of Investor in such Collateral and to direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment to Investor (or its designee) of any amounts due or to become due thereunder and enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or adjust, settle or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder or evidence thereby. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the request of Investor, Borrower
Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Secutities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omission.
shall, at its own cost and expense, notify any parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to Investor (or its designee) of any amounts due or to become due thereunder, and in such event, Investor is authorized to endorse, in the name of Borrower, any item representing any payment on or other proceeds of any of the Collateral. Borrower irrevocably directs and requires all licensees and account debtors to honor Investor’s request for direct payment and comply with any such request, notwithstanding any directions or instructions to the contrary that may be given by Borrower and agrees that the compliance by such licensee or account debtor with the provisions of this Section shall not be deemed a violation of such party’s contractual agreements with Borrower.
(c) After delivery to Borrower by Investor of a notice that an Event of Default has occurred and so long as such Event of Default is continuing: (i) all amounts and proceeds (including instruments) received by Borrower in respect of any Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of Investor hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower, and shall be forthwith paid over to Investor in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements) to be held as cash collateral and applied as provided by this Security Agreement; and (ii) Borrower shall not adjust, settle, or compromise the amount or payment of any Collateral, or release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon.
(d) After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Investor may in its own name or in the name of others communicate with account debtors (including Contract Parties to License Agreements and In License Agreements) in order to verify with them to Investor’s reasonable satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Collateral and (ii) Investor shall have the right, at Borrower’s cost and expense, to make test verifications of the Collateral in any reasonable manner and through any medium that it considers advisable, and Borrower agrees to furnish all such assistance as Investor may reasonably require in connection therewith.
(e) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Investor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit, in the name of Borrower, Investor or otherwise, to enforce any Collateral, in which event Borrower shall, at the request of Investor, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by Investor in aid of such enforcement and Borrower shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify Investor as provided in the Loan Agreement and Section 19 hereof, as applicable, in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section 17.
Section 18. Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by Investor in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in good faith to satisfy (to the extent of the net cash proceeds received by Investor) such item or part of the Secured Obligations as Investor may designate (with the right to reapply such proceeds to such other items or part of the Secured Obligations as Investor may see fit).
Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Secutities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omission.
Section 19. Expenses.
(a) Borrower agrees to pay to Investor upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that Investor may incur in connection with (i) the custody, preservation, management, enforcement, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Investor hereunder, or (iii) the failure by Borrower to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. Any costs and expenses payable hereunder shall be deemed to be Secured Obligations and entitled to the security interest hereunder.
(b) The obligations of Borrower in this Section 19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Borrower’s other obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Agreement.
Section 20. Continuing Security Interest; Termination and Release.
(a) This Agreement shall (i) create a continuing security interest in the Collateral, (ii) remain in full force and effect until the later of the indefeasible payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations and the expiration or termination of the Loan Agreement (other than indemnification obligations that are unasserted at the time of expiration or termination of Loan Agreement and other contingent obligations that, by their terms, survive the termination hereof and thereof), (iii) be binding upon Borrower and its respective successors and assigns, and (iv) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Investor hereunder, to the benefit of Investor and its successors, transferees and assigns. The Borrower agrees that its obligations hereunder and the security interest created hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as applicable, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Investor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise.
(b) Upon the payment and performance in full of all Secured Obligations (other than indemnification obligations that are unasserted as of the expiration or termination of the Loan Agreement and other contingent obligations not then due and payable that, by their terms, survive the termination hereof), the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Borrower. Upon such termination or any release of Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.02(b) of the Loan Agreement, the Investor shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, assign, transfer and deliver to Borrower, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the Investor except as to the fact that the Investor has not encumbered the released assets, such of the Collateral or any part thereof to be released (in the case of a release) as may be in possession of the Investor and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Collateral, proper documents and instruments (including UCC 3 termination financing statements or releases) acknowledging the termination hereof and the security interest granted hereby or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be.
Section 21. Miscellaneous.

Investor may take any action that is permitted under the Loan Agreement or hereunder. No waiver of any right hereunder shall be effective unless such waiver is signed in writing by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. To the extent Borrower transfers any of the Collateral to any of its Subsidiaries, then such Subsidiaries shall execute a joinder to this Agreement or a new agreement substantially similar to this Agreement and any other applicable Loan Documents, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Investor, to confirm the continued security interest of the Investor in such Collateral.
(ii) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
(d) Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and any reference herein to a party shall be deemed a reference to such party’s successors and assigns, if any.

Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Secutities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omission.
Agreement. Except for Warrant Certificates delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(iv) hereof, the Warrant Certificates shall bear the legend required by Section 2.5 hereof.

The Certificate Register shall show the names and addresses of the respective Holders and the date and number of Warrants evidenced on the face of each of the Warrant Certificates. The Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Warrant Certificate is registered as the absolute owner of such Warrant Certificate for all purposes whatsoever and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 2.4. Transfer and Exchange.
(a) When Warrants are presented to the Company with a request to register the transfer of such Warrants or to exchange such Warrants for an equal number of Warrants of other authorized denominations, the Company shall register the transfer or make the exchange; provided, however, that the Warrant Certificates representing such Warrants surrendered for transfer or exchange:
(i) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the Holder thereof; and
(ii) in the case of Warrants that are Transfer Restricted Securities, shall be accompanied by the following additional information and documents:
(A) a certificate from such Holder in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto certifying that:
(1) such securities are being delivered for registration in the name of such Holder without transfer;

(3) such securities are being transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; or
(4) such securities are being transferred (w) to a “qualified institutional buyer”, as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act pursuant to such Rule 144A, (x) in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 904 under the Securities Act, (y) in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (z) pursuant to another

available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; and
(B) provided, however, that in the case of any transfer described under clause (a)(ii)(A)(4) of this Section 2.4, the certificate will be accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that the transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
(b) (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute Warrant Certificates as required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.4.
(ii) All Warrant Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrants shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Warrant Certificates surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(iii) No service charge shall be made by the Company to any Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange upon surrender of any Warrant Certificate at the principal office of the Company. The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable to the issuance of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of any Warrant Certificates or any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than the Holder of such Warrant Certificate.
(iv) Upon any sale or transfer of Warrants pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or pursuant to an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that no legend is required, the Company shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Warrants for Warrants represented by Warrant Certificates that do not bear the legend set forth in Section 2.5(a) hereof and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Warrants; provided, however, that the Warrant Certificate shall continue to bear a legend with respect to restrictions on the transfer of the Warrant Shares.

“THE WARRANTS AND THE WARRANT SHARES (THE “SECURITIES”) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM,
Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Secutities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omission.
OR NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION AND SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, AGREES TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH SECURITY, UNLESS PREVIOUSLY REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY; (B) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE); (C) TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A; (D) PURSUANT TO AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION COMPLYING WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT; OR (E) PURSUANT TO ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.”
(b) Each certificate representing the Warrant Shares (unless such Warrant Shares are not Transfer Restricted Securities) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL SUCH SECURITIES ARE REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY IS OBTAINED TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
SECTION 2.6. Replacement Certificates. If a mutilated Warrant Certificate is surrendered to the Warrant Agent or if the Holder of a Warrant Certificate claims that the Warrant Certificate has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue a replacement Warrant Certificate. If required by the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond (or, in the case of the Initial Holder, an unsecured indemnity) sufficient in the reasonable judgment of the Company to protect the Company from any loss which it may suffer if a Warrant Certificate is replaced. The Company may charge the Holder for its reasonable expenses in replacing a Warrant Certificate. Every replacement Warrant Certificate is an additional obligation of the Company.
SECTION 2.7. Cancellation.
(a) In the event the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire Warrants, the Warrant Certificates representing such Warrants shall thereupon be cancelled.
Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Secutities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omission.
(b) The Company shall cancel and destroy all Warrant Certificates surrendered for transfer, exchange, replacement, exercise or cancellation. The Company may not issue new Warrant Certificates to replace Warrant Certificates to the extent they evidence Warrants which have been exercised or Warrants which the Company has purchased or otherwise acquired.
ARTICLE 3.
INITIAL ISSUANCE AND EXERCISE TERMS
SECTION 3.1. Initial Issuance of Warrants. On the Closing Date, (i) contemporaneous with, and as a condition to, the funding by the Initial Holder of the Loan and (ii) subject to receipt by the Company of a Certificate from the Initial Holder, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Initial Holder a Warrant Certificate representing 250,000 Warrants registered in the name of the Initial Holder.
SECTION 3.2. Exercise Price. Each Warrant shall entitle the Holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock (as the same may be adjusted pursuant to Article 4) for a per share exercise price of $5.50 (as the same may be adjusted pursuant to Article 4, the “Exercise Price”).
SECTION 3.3. Exercise Period.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Warrant shall be exercisable at any time or from time to time on or after the earlier to occur of (i) August 5, 2009 and (ii) the date on which the Company delivers or is required to deliver to the Holders written notice of a Combination pursuant to clause (d) of Section 4.8 hereof (such date, the “Exercise Commencement Date”).
(b) No Warrant shall be exercisable after 6:00 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date.
SECTION 3.4. Expiration. A Warrant shall terminate and become void as of the earlier of (a) 6:00 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date and (b) the time and date such Warrant is exercised. The Warrants shall terminate and become void after the Expiration Date.
SECTION 3.5. Manner of Exercise. Subject to Section 3.3 hereof, Warrants may be exercised upon (a) surrender to the Company of the Warrant Certificate(s) representing such Warrants, together with the form of election to purchase Warrant Shares on the reverse thereof duly completed and executed by the Holder thereof and (b) payment to the Company of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which such Warrant is then exercised (each date on which such exercise occurs, an “Exercise Date”). Such payment of the Exercise Price shall be made (i) in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of funds to an account designated by the Company for such purpose or (ii) by the surrender (which surrender shall be evidenced by cancellation of the number of Warrants represented by any Warrant Certificate presented in connection with a Cashless Exercise) of a Warrant or Warrants (represented by one or more relevant Warrant Certificates), and without the payment of the Exercise Price in cash, in exchange for the issuance of such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant would otherwise be nominally exercisable immediately prior to such exercise
Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Secutities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omission.
if payment of the Exercise Price were being made in cash pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 3.5 and (2) the Cashless Exercise Ratio. An exercise of a Warrant in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence is herein called a “Cashless Exercise”. For U.S. tax purposes, the Company and the Initial Holder agree to treat an exercise of Warrants pursuant to a Cashless Exercise as a “recapitalization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. All provisions of this Agreement shall be applicable with respect to an exercise of Warrants pursuant to a Cashless Exercise for less than the full number of Warrants represented thereby. The rights represented by the Warrants shall be exercisable at the election of the Holders thereof either in full at any time or in part from time to time during the period commencing on the Exercise Commencement Date and ending at 6:00 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date and in the event that a Warrant Certificate is surrendered for exercise in respect of less than all the Warrants represented by such Warrant Certificate at any time prior to the Expiration Date a new Warrant Certificate exercisable for the remaining Warrants will be duly executed and promptly issued by the Company in accordance with this Agreement.
SECTION 3.6. Issuance of Warrant Shares. Upon the surrender of Warrant Certificates and payment of the per share Exercise Price (either in cash or by Cashless Exercise), as set forth in Section 3.5 hereof, the Company shall within three Business Days issue and cause the transfer agent for the Common Stock (“Transfer Agent”) to countersign and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares so purchased upon the exercise of such Warrants or other securities or property to which it is entitled, registered or otherwise to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same, together with cash as provided in Section 3.7 hereof in respect of any fractional Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the date of the surrender of such Warrant Certificates and payment of the per share Exercise Price (either in cash or by Cashless Exercise).
SECTION 3.7. Fractional Warrant Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares shall be issued on exercise of Warrants. If more than one Warrant shall be exercised at the same time by the same Holder, the number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon such exercise shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of the Warrants so exercised. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 3.7, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrant (or specified portion thereof), the Company shall notify the Holder exercising the Warrant in writing of the amount to be paid in lieu of the fraction of a Warrant Share and concurrently shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Value for one Warrant Share on the date the Warrant is exercised, multiplied by such fraction, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
SECTION 3.8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company shall at all times keep reserved out of its authorized shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of all outstanding Warrants at all times until the Expiration Date, or the time at which all Warrants have been exercised or cancelled. All Warrant Shares that may be issued upon exercise of Warrants shall, upon issue, be fully paid, nonassessable, free of preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests with respect to the issue thereof. The Company will provide or otherwise make available to the Transfer Agent
Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Secutities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omission.
any cash which may be payable as provided in Section 3.6 hereof. The Company will furnish to the Transfer Agent a copy of all notices of adjustments and certificates related thereto transmitted to each Holder.
SECTION 3.9. Listing on Securities Exchange. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to procure, at its sole cost and expense, the listing of all Warrant Shares (subject to issuance or notice of issuance) on all stock exchanges on which the Common Stock then listed and to maintain such listing of all Warrant Shares after issuance.
ARTICLE 4.
ANTIDILUTION PROVISIONS
SECTION 4.1. Changes in Common Stock. In the event that, at any time or from time to time after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall (a) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock exclusively in shares of its Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or (c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each case the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant (the “Exercise Rate”) and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action will be proportionately adjusted upon the happening of such event so that, after giving effect to such adjustment, the Holder of each Warrant shall be entitled to receive, upon payment of the same aggregate Exercise Price, the number of shares of Common Stock upon exercise that such Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of any of the events described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 4.1 (or, in the case of a dividend or distribution of Common Stock, immediately prior to the record date therefor). An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall become effective at the opening of business on the day immediately following the record date fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, in the case of a dividend or distribution in shares of Common Stock, and shall become effective at the opening of business on the day immediately following the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
SECTION 4.2. Dividends and Other Distributions. In the event that, at any time or from time to time after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities (other than shares of Common Stock) or in cash or other property (other than regular cash dividends paid out of earnings or earned surplus, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), then and in each such event, lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that, after giving effect to the making of such provision, the Holder of each Warrant, upon exercise of such Warrant, shall be entitled to receive, and such Warrant shall represent the right to receive, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares issuable thereunder, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property to which such Holder would have been entitled if such Holder had exercised such Warrant immediately prior to the happening of such event (or, in the case of a dividend or other distribution in respect of which a record date is fixed, immediately prior to the record date therefor) and such Holder had, during the period from and including the effective date of such provision to and including the Exercise Date, retained any such securities receivable during such period, giving application to all adjustments provided for
Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Secutities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omission.
in this Article 4 during such period. A provision made pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall become effective at the opening of business on the day immediately following the happening of such event or, in the case of a dividend or other distribution in respect of which a record date is fixed, at the opening of business on the day immediately following such record date therefor. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2 shall similarly apply to successive dividends or other distributions.
SECTION 4.3. Combination. In case, at any time, the Company shall (i) merge or consolidate with or into any other Person (other than a merger or consolidation in which the stockholders of the Company as of immediately prior to the consummation of the merger or consolidation own, immediately after such merger or consolidation, less than a majority of the outstanding Capital Stock entitled to vote under ordinary circumstances in the election of members of the Board of the surviving entity, (ii) sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, (iii) complete any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares of Common Stock for other securities, cash or other property or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or other property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 4.1 hereof) and, in each case the previously outstanding Common Stock shall be converted or changed into or exchanged for different securities, interests, or other property or assets (including cash), or any combination of the foregoing (each such transaction being herein called a “Combination”), then, as a condition to the consummation of such Combination, lawful and adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of a Warrant, upon the exercise of such Warrant at any time at or after the consummation of such Combination, shall be entitled to receive, and such Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to receive, in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise prior to such consummation, the securities, cash or other property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon consummation of the Combination if such Holder had exercised such Warrant immediately prior thereto (subject to adjustments from and after the consummation date as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article 4 and assuming such Holder failed to exercise any rights of election and received per share the kind and amount of consideration receivable per share by a plurality of non-electing shares). The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3 shall similarly apply to successive Combinations.
SECTION 4.4. Current Market Value. For purposes of any computation under Sections 3.5 and 3.7 hereof or this Article 4, the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock (the “Current Market Value”) at any date shall be (a) for purposes of Sections 3.5 and 3.7 hereof, the closing price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of exercise of the applicable Warrant pursuant to Section 3 and (b) for purposes of this Article 4, the arithmetic average of the daily closing prices of such Common Stock for the shorter of (i) the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days ending on the last full Trading Day prior to the Time of Determination (as defined below) and (ii) the consecutive Trading Days commencing on the date next succeeding the first public announcement of the event giving rise to the adjustment required by this Article 4 and ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Time of Determination. The term “Time of Determination” as used herein shall be the earlier to occur of (A) the date as of which the Current Market Value is to be computed and (B) if applicable, the date of commencement
Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Secutities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omission.
of “ex-dividend” trading in the Common Stock relating to the event giving rise to the adjustment required by this Article 4. The “closing price” of the Common Stock for any Trading Day shall be the last reported sale price, regular way, of the Common Stock on such Trading Day or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such Trading Day, the arithmetic average of the closing bid and closing asked prices of the Common Stock for such Trading Day, in each case on the principal Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or included. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Common Stock is not then listed or included on a Trading Market or if, for any other reason, the Current Market Value per share cannot be determined pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.4, the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock shall be the Fair Market Value thereof and shall be determined in good faith by the Board, with the unanimous approval of the independent directors of the Board, not later than five (5) Business Days following the Time of Determination. The Company shall, promptly after such determination by the Board, deliver to each Holder written notice of the Current Market Value per share of Common Stock, as so determined by the Board, together with a resolution of the Board evidencing such determination.
SECTION 4.5. Certain Actions.
(a) The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, by any action, including, without limitation, reincorporation in a jurisdiction other than Delaware, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, reclassification, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Agreement or the Warrants, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holders against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall (i) take, at its sole cost and expense, all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue Common Stock on the exercise of the Warrants from time to time outstanding and (ii) not take any action which results in any adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after the action upon the exercise of all of the Warrants would exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company’s certificate of incorporation and available for the purposes of issuance upon such exercise.
(b) The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) make any adjustment pursuant to this Article 4 to the extent that it would result in reducing the Exercise Price below the then par value of the Common Stock or (ii) increase the par value of the Common Stock above its current $.01 per share.
SECTION 4.6. Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Rate and/or the Exercise Price pursuant to this Article 4, the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder a certificate signed by an Officer of the Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring such adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including, if applicable, a description of the basis on which the Board determined the Fair Market Value of any evidences of indebtedness, securities or other property or assets, and attaching a Board resolution evidencing such determination), and specifying the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of Warrants after giving effect to such adjustment.
Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Secutities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omission.
SECTION 4.7. Common Stock. For purposes of this Article 4, the term “Common Stock” includes any stock of any class of the Company which has no preference in respect of dividends or of amounts payable in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company and which is not subject to redemption by the Company. However, subject to Section 4.9 hereof, shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall include only shares of the class designated as Common Stock on the date of this Agreement or shares of any other class or classes resulting from any reclassification or change of such Common Stock and which have no preference in respect of dividends or of amounts payable in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company and which are not subject to redemption by the Company; provided that, if at any time there shall be more than one such resulting class, the shares of each such class then so issuable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be substantially in the proportion which the total number of shares of such class resulting from such reclassification or change bears to the total number of shares of all such classes resulting from such reclassifications or changes.
SECTION 4.8. Notice of Certain Transactions. In the event that the Company shall propose to (a) pay any dividend or make any other distribution on the Common Stock, whether in cash, Common Stock, other Capital Stock or securities, including, without limitation, rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, evidences of indebtedness or other property or assets, (b) effect any subdivision, combination, reclassification or other change of its Common Stock, (c) effect any tender offer, exchange offer or open market repurchase program, in any case involving more than two percent (2%) of its outstanding Common Stock, (d) effect any Combination or (e) effect the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof to each Holder, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the applicable record date hereinafter specified, or, in the case of events for which there is no record date, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of such event or the commencement of such tender offer, exchange offer, or repurchase program. Any written notice provided pursuant to this Section 4.8 shall state (i) the date as of which the holders of record of the Common Stock are entitled to receive any such Common Stock, other Capital Stock or securities, rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, evidences of indebtedness or other property or assets, (ii) the commencement date of any tender offer, exchange offer or repurchase program for the Common Stock or (iii) the date on which any such Combination, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or consummated, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of record of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange such shares for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon such Combination, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. The failure to give the notice required by this Section 4.8 or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any dividend, distribution, issuance, right, option, warrant, security, tender offer, exchange offer, repurchase program, Combination, reclassification, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, or the vote upon any action.
SECTION 4.9. Adjustment to Warrant Certificate. The form of Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment made pursuant to this Article 4, and Warrant Certificates issued after such adjustment may state the same number of shares of Common Stock as are stated in any Warrant Certificates issued prior to the adjustment. The Company, however, may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate to give effect to such adjustments and that does not otherwise affect the substance

of the Warrant Certificate, and any Warrant Certificate thereafter issued, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed.
SECTION 4.10. Adjustments or Issuances Deferred/Adjustments Not Required.
(a) All calculations under this Article 4 shall be made to the nearest 1/1,000th of one cent or to the nearest 1/1,000th of one share, as the case may be.
(b) In any case in which this Article 4 shall require an adjustment in the Exercise Rate or the making of a provision effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of any Warrant exercised after such record date the Warrant Shares and other equity of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Warrant Shares and other equity of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Exercise Rate and (ii) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of a fractional share pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such Holder, upon request, a due xxxx or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Holder’s right to receive such additional Warrant Shares, other equity and cash upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 4, no adjustment in the Exercise Rate and the Exercise Price shall be required under clause (a) of Section 4.1 hereof if the Company issues or distributes to each Holder, at or before the time such issuance or distribution is made to the stockholders of the Company, the Common Stock referred to therein which would have been distributed to such Holders had the Warrants held by such Holder been exercised immediately prior to happening of such event or the record date with respect thereto, as applicable.
ARTICLE 5.
REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENT OF THE COMPANY

(c) Assuming that the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date hereof is equal to or less than $5.00 per share, the Warrants are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act and will not, as of the initial Issuance Date to the Initial Holder, be of the same class as securities listed on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Exchange Act or quoted on a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system.
(d) The Company hereby agrees that, for so long as any Warrants or Warrant Shares remain outstanding and during any period in which the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to make available, upon request of any Holder, to any Holder or beneficial owner of Warrants or Warrant Shares in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser thereof from such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales pursuant to Rule 144A.
(e) None of the Company, its Affiliates or any Person acting on any of their behalf (other than the Holders and their Affiliates, as to whom the Company makes no representation or warranty) has, directly or indirectly, offered, issued, sold or solicited any offer to buy any security of a type which would be integrated with the sale of the Warrants in any manner that would require the Warrants to be registered under the Securities Act. None of the Company, its Affiliates or any Person acting on any of their behalf (other than the Holders and their Affiliates, as to whom the Company makes no representation or warranty) has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502 in connection with the offering of the Warrants.
(f) The Holders will have no obligation with respect to any brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions payable by the Company or any of its Affiliates to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF WARRANT CERTIFICATE]
[Reverse]
Subject to the terms of this Warrant Certificate and the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate may be exercised in whole or in part upon (a) surrender to the Company of this Warrant Certificate, together with the form of election to purchase Warrant Shares below duly completed and executed by the Holder hereof and (b) payment to the Company of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which the Warrants are exercised. Such payment of the Exercise Price shall be made (i) in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of funds to an account designated by the Company for such purpose or (ii) by Cashless Exercise by the surrender (which surrender shall be evidenced by cancellation of the number of Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate presented in connection with a Cashless Exercise) of the Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificates, and without the payment of the Exercise Price in cash, in exchange for the issuance of such number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrants would otherwise be nominally exercisable immediately prior to such exercise if payment of the Exercise Price were being made in cash and (2) the Cashless Exercise Ratio (as defined in the Warrant Agreement). All Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of Warrants will be fully paid, nonassessable, free of preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests with respect to the issue thereof.
The Warrants represented by this Warrant Certificate shall be exercisable at the election of the Holders hereof either in full at any time or in part from time to time during the period commencing on the Exercise Commencement Date and ending at 6:00 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date and in the event that this Warrant Certificate is surrendered for exercise in respect of less than all the Warrants represented hereby at any time prior to the Expiration Date a new Warrant Certificate representing the remaining Warrants will be duly executed and promptly issued by the Company in accordance with the Warrant Agreement.
No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued on exercise of Warrants. If more than one Warrant shall be exercised at the same time by the same Holder, the number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon such exercise shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of the Warrants so exercised. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would be issuable on the exercise of any Warrant (or specified portion thereof), the Company will notify the Holder exercising the Warrant in writing of the amount to be paid in lieu of the fraction of a Warrant Share and concurrently will pay to such Holder an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Value for one Warrant Share on the date the Warrant is exercised, multiplied by such fraction, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
When Warrants are presented to the Company with a request to register the transfer of such Warrants or to exchange such Warrants for an equal number of Warrants of other authorized denominations, the Company will register the transfer or make the exchange in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in the Warrant Agreement.
Confidential materials omitted and filed separately with the Secutities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote such omission.
No service charge will be made by the Company to any Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate at the principal office of the Company. The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable to the issuance of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of any Warrant Certificates or any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than the Holder of such Warrant Certificate.
Except as otherwise specifically required in the Warrant Agreement, Holders of unexercised Warrants are not entitled to (a) receive dividends or other distributions from the Company, (b) receive notice of or vote at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, (c) consent to any action of the stockholders of the Company, (d) receive notice of any other proceedings of the Company or (e) exercise any other rights as stockholders of the Company. All shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company upon the exercise of the Warrants shall, upon such issue, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable.
The holder in whose name this Warrant Certificate is registered may be deemed and treated by the Company as the absolute owner of the Warrant Certificate for all purposes whatsoever and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.
