If Borrower fails to borrow the Loans on either Closing Date after the applicable Notice of Borrowing has been given to the Lender in accordance herewith, 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 showing the calculation of such loss or expense in reasonable detail.
SECTION 12.02. Other Losses.
(a) Borrower agrees to defend (subject to Indemniteesβ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, each Indemnitee from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities, in all cases, or in any such case arising, in whole or in part, out of or relating to any claim, action, suit or proceeding commenced or threatened by any Person (including any Governmental Authority), other than Borrower or any of the Lenderβs Affiliates; 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 SectionΒ 12.02 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 Partyβs 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 Loans 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.

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)Β Borrower has otherwise agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii)Β Borrower shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lender in a timely manner or (iii)Β 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)Β includes an unconditional release of the Lender from all liability arising out of such action and (y)Β 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.

Each Grantor agrees that, from time to time, Grantor will promptly execute and deliver and will cause to be executed and delivered all further instruments and documents, and will take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor will: (i)Β (A)Β execute for filing, recording or registering by the Lender such intellectual property security agreements or notices of security or equivalent documents, or amendments thereto, in the PTO or CRO or other governmental offices, (B)Β execute and deliver, and cause to be executed and delivered, agreements establishing that Lender has βcontrolβ within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC of specified items of Collateral as to which perfection may be obtained by control and (C)Β deliver such other instruments or notices, in each case, as may be necessary or desirable, or as Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby, (ii)Β furnish to Lender from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as Lender may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail, (iii)Β at Lenderβs request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect such Grantorβs title to or Lenderβs security interest in all or any part of the Collateral, and (iv)Β use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary consents of third parties to the assignment and perfection of a security interest to Lender with respect to any Collateral.

The powers conferred on Lender 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 Lender hereunder, Lender 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.

In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Joinder should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Security Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SectionΒ 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in SectionΒ 18 of the Security Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder of the New Guarantor shall be given to it at the address set forth under its signature below.

2. Purchase Price; Number of Shares.
(a) The registered holder of this Warrant (the βHolderβ), is entitled upon surrender of this Warrant with the subscription form annexed hereto duly executed, at the principal office of the Company, to purchase from the Company, at a price per share of $0.7192 (as adjusted pursuant to Sections 9 and 11, the βPurchase Priceβ), up to a maximum of 1,564,238 fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Companyβs Series E Preferred Stock (as adjusted pursuant to Sections 9 and 11), no par value (the shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant being referred to herein as the βPreferred Stockβ). Commencing on the date hereof, 1,042,825 (the βFirst Tranche Exercise Quantityβ and, together with the Second Tranche Exercise Quantity (as defined below), the βExercise Quantityβ) of shares of Preferred Stock are immediately available for purchase hereunder.
(b) On the Second Closing Date, if any, the Exercise Quantity shall automatically be increased by such additional number of shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) as is equal to the quotient of (A)Β 7.5% of the Second Tranche Term Loan as specified in the Second Notice of Borrowing pursuant to the Loan Agreement, divided by (B)Β the Purchase Price up to a maximum of 521,413 shares of Preferred Stock (the βSecond Tranche Exercise Quantityβ).
Any term not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in that certain Loan Agreement dated FebruaryΒ 28, 2014 between the Company, Healthcare Royalty Partners II, L.P. and other parties thereto from time to time.
Until such time as this Warrant is exercised in full or expires, the Purchase Price and the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided. The person or persons in whose name or names any certificate representing shares of Preferred Stock is issued hereunder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the shares represented thereby as at the close of business on the date this Warrant is exercised with respect to such shares, whether or not the transfer books of the Company shall be closed.

3. Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price may be paid (i)Β in cash or by check, (ii)Β by the surrender by the Holder to the Company of any promissory notes or other obligations issued by the Company, with all such notes and obligations so surrendered being credited against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of surrender or (iii)Β by any combination of the foregoing.
4. Net Issue Election. The Holder may elect to receive, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, shares of Preferred Stock equal to the value of this Warrant or any portion hereof by the surrender of this Warrant or such portion to the Company, with the net issue election notice annexed hereto duly executed, at the principal office of the Company. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Preferred Stock as is computed using the following formula:
X= Y(A-B)
A

where: | XΒ = | the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 4. | ||
Y = | the number of shares of Preferred Stock covered by this Warrant in respect of which the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4. | |||
A = | the Fair Market Value (defined below) of one share of Preferred Stock, as determined at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4. | |||
B = | the Purchase Price in effect under this Warrant at the time the net issue election is made pursuant to this Section 4. |
βFair Market Valueβ of a share of Preferred Stock as of the date that the net issue election is made (the βDetermination Dateβ) shall mean:
(i) If the net issue election is made in connection with and contingent upon the closing of the sale of the Companyβs common stock, no par value (the βCommon Stockβ) to the public in a public offering pursuant to a Registration Statement under the 1933 Act (a βPublic Offeringβ), and if the Companyβs Registration Statement relating to such Public Offering (βRegistration Statementβ) has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, then the initial βPrice to Publicβ specified in the final prospectus with respect to such offering multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible.
(ii) If the net issue election is not made in connection with and contingent upon a Public Offering, then as follows:
(a) If traded on a securities exchange, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing or last reported sale prices of the Common Stock on such exchange over the five day period ending five trading days prior to the Determination Date, and the fair market value of the Preferred Stock (other than Common Stock) shall be deemed to be such fair market value of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock (other than Common Stock) is then convertible;
(b) If otherwise traded in an over-the-counter market, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be deemed to be the average of the closing ask prices of the Common Stock over the five day period ending five trading days prior to the Determination Date, and the fair market value of the Preferred Stock (other than Common Stock) shall be deemed to be such fair market value of the Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock (other than Common Stock) is then convertible; and
Β
2
(c) If there is no public market for the Common Stock, then Fair Market Value shall be determined in good faith by the Companyβs Board of Directors.
5. Partial Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in part, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new warrant, which shall be dated as of the date of this Warrant, covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been exercised.
6. Fractional Shares. In no event shall any fractional share of Preferred Stock be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant. If, upon exercise of this Warrant in its entirety, the Holder would, except as provided in this SectionΒ 6, be entitled to receive a fractional share of Preferred Stock, then the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Purchase Price then in effect.
7. Expiration Date; Automatic Exercise. This Warrant shall expire at the close of business on Β Β Β Β , 2024 or pursuant to SectionΒ 11, and shall be void thereafter (the βExpiration Dateβ). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if upon such date the Fair Market Value for a share of Preferred Stock exceeds the Purchase Price, this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exercised in full pursuant to the provisions of SectionΒ 4 hereof, without any further action on behalf of the Holder, immediately prior to the time this Warrant would otherwise expire pursuant to the preceding sentence.
8. Reserved Shares; Valid Issuance. The Company covenants that it will at all times from and after the date hereof reserve and keep available such number of its authorized shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock free from all preemptive or similar rights therein, as will be sufficient to permit, respectively, the exercise of this Warrant in full and the conversion into shares of Common Stock of all shares of Preferred Stock receivable upon such exercise. The Company further covenants that such shares as may be issued pursuant to such exercise and/or conversion will, upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.
9. Stock Splits and Dividends. If after the date hereof the Company shall subdivide the Preferred Stock, by split-up or otherwise, or combine the Preferred Stock, or issue additional shares of Preferred Stock in payment of a stock dividend on the Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination, and the Purchase Price shall forthwith be proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately increased in the case of a combination.
10. Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. The antidilution rights applicable to the Preferred Stock of the Company are set forth in the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended from time to time (the βArticlesβ), a true and complete copy in its current form which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
