Seller will be responsible for the payment of, and will pay when due, any sales, use, excise, or similar transfer taxes (the “Transfer Taxes”) that may be payable in connection with the sale or purchase of the Purchased Assets; provided that if any law or regulation requires that Buyer (and not the Seller) pay any portion of such Transfer Taxes, Buyer shall pay those Transfer Taxes and shall be promptly reimbursed by the Seller for the amount of those Transfer Taxes paid by Buyer. The parties hereto will cooperate with each other and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to minimize the Transfer Taxes. |
7.2 | Ownership and Assignment. Seller agrees that all copyrightable material, notes, records, drawings, designs, inventions, improvements, developments, discoveries and trade secrets conceived, discovered, developed or reduced to practice by Seller, solely or in collaboration with others, during the term of this Agreement that relate in any manner to the business of the Buyer that Seller may be directed to undertake, investigate or experiment with or that Seller may become associated with in work, investigation or experimentation in the Buyer’s line of business in performing under this Agreement (collectively, “Inventions”), are the sole property of the Buyer. Seller also agrees to assign (or cause to be assigned) and hereby |
-8-
assigns fully to the Buyer all such Inventions and Intellectual Property Rights in or comprising or otherwise relating to such Inventions.
7.3 | Reversion Rights: Buyer agrees that if within five (5) years from the date of the Closing, it has not utilized or marketed the microwave therapy system to produce sales revenue then, if such delay is not caused by any action or inaction of the Seller, the Purchased Assets including all IP Rights under this Agreement shall revert to the Seller. Buyer agrees to execute any and all documentation required to return ownership of the Purchased Assets including the IP rights. Seller shall notify the Buyer in writing of the right to reversion. |
7.4 | Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the Closing, at Buyer’s request and without further consideration, Seller shall: (i) execute any documents necessary to perfect the assignment of any and all IP Rights, (ii) execute and deliver to Buyer such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation in furtherance of the Asset Purchase; (iii) provide materials and information reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with the Purchased Assets; and (iv) take such other actions, as Buyer may reasonably deem necessary or desirable and reasonably request in order more effectively to transfer, convey and assign to Buyer, to confirm Buyer’s title to, all of the Purchased Assets, to enforce Buyer’s Rights thereunder and, to the full extent permitted by law, to put Buyer in actual possession and operating control of the Purchased Assets and to assist Buyer in exercising all rights with respect thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller shall: (a) assist in the transfer and answer questions relating to Seller’s records including regulatory filings and clinical data, (b) cooperate in any and all ongoing efforts by Buyer to revive the IP Rights, and (c) cooperate in any efforts to perfect Buyer’s title to and ownership in any of the Purchased Assets. |
7.5 | Noncompete. Seller acknowledges that the nature of the Buyer’s business is such that if Seller were to become employed by, or substantially involved in, the business of a competitor of the Buyer beginning on the date of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years following the completion of the Fourth Milestone, it would be very difficult for the Seller not to rely on or use the Buyer’s trade secrets and confidential information. Thus, to avoid the inevitable disclosure of the Buyer’s trade secrets and confidential information, Seller agrees and acknowledges that her right to receive the Purchase Price and Milestone Payments set forth in Section 2.1 (to the extent Seller is otherwise entitled to such payments) shall be conditioned upon Seller not directly or indirectly engaging in (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, proprietor, principal, partner, stockholder, corporate officer, director or otherwise), nor having any ownership interest in or participating in the financing, operation, management or control of, any person, firm, corporation or business that competes with Buyer or is a customer of the Buyer. Upon any breach of this Section 7.5, Seller shall refund the Purchase Price and any Milestone Payments received pursuant to this Agreement and Buyer shall no longer have any obligation to make such payments. |
-9-
7.6 | Nonsolicitation. Beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing, Seller will not directly or indirectly, make, offer, solicit, induce or encourage or take any other action that is intended to induce or encourage, or has the effect of inducing of encouraging, any of Buyer’s employees to terminate his or her employment with Buyer. The parties agree that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Seller of any of the covenants set forth in this Section 7.6, monetary damages alone would be inadequate to fully protect Buyer from, and compensate Buyer for, the harm caused by such breach or threatened breach. Accordingly, Seller agrees that if she breaches or threatens breach of any provision of this Section 7.6, Buyer will be entitled to seek, in addition to any other right or remedy otherwise available, the right to injunctive relief restraining such breach or threatened breach and to specific performance of any such provision of this Section 7.6 |
ARTICLE VIII

8.2.1 | any breach of any or all of Buyer’s own representations and warranties in the Agreement or the nonperformance of any or all of its covenants or obligations to be performed by Buyer under the Agreement; |
8.2.2 | any breach of any or all of the representations and warranties of the Buyer in the Agreement; and |

3. Method of Exercise. During the Exercise Period, the Holder may exercise in whole the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by:
(i) the surrender of the Warrant, together with a notice of exercise to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices; and
(ii) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Warrant Coverage Amount.

(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide the Shares, by split‑up or otherwise, or combine its Shares, or issue additional shares of its Shares as a dividend, the number of Shares 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. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price payable per share, but the

In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change in the capital stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination, or stock dividend provided for in Section 6(a) above), then the Company shall make appropriate provision so that the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization, or change by a Holder of the same number of Shares as were purchasable by the Holder of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization, or change. In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder of this Warrant so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the purchase price per share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same.

9. Representations and Warranties by the Holder. The Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) This Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise thereof are being acquired for its own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, if so requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are being acquired for investment and not with a view toward distribution or resale.
(b) The Holder understands that the Warrant and the Shares have not been registered under the Act by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration and
-4-
prospectus delivery requirements of the Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and that they must be held by the Holder indefinitely, and that the Holder must therefore bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Act or is exempted from such registration. The Holder further understands that the Warrant Shares have not been qualified under the California Securities Law of 1968 (the "California Law") by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the qualification requirements of the California Law pursuant to Section 25102(f) thereof, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder's investment intent expressed above.
(c) The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of this Warrant and the Shares purchasable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and of protecting its interests in connection therewith.
(d) The Holder is able to bear the economic risk of the purchase of the Shares pursuant to the terms of this Warrant.
(e) The Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.
10. Restrictive Legend.
The Shares (unless registered under the Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF, AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. COPIES OF THE AGREEMENT COVERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE SHARES AND RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE COMPANY.
11. Rights of Stockholders. No holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, as a Warrant holder, to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of the Shares or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock,
-5-
change of par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been exercised and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.
12. Expiration of Warrant; Notice of Certain Events Terminating This Warrant.
(a)This Warrant shall expire and shall no longer be exercisable upon the earlier to occur of:
(i)Any Change of Control; or

(c) such market stand-off time period shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days.
Holder agrees to provide to the other underwriters of any public offering such further agreements as such underwriter may reasonably request in connection with this market stand-off agreement, provided that the terms of such agreements are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 14. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations described in this Section 14 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to an SEC Rule 145 transaction.
15. Registration Rights Agreement. The registration rights of the Holder (including Holders' successors) with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be the same as granted to the holders of shares issued in the Qualified Equity Financing.
16. Governing Law. This Warrant and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the State of California or of any other state.
