WHEREAS, the Master Fund is a private investment fund which holds certain equity and debt investments, including, but not limited to, secured notes, subordinated notes, preferred equity, common stock and warrants (collectively, the “Securities”), in each of the portfolio companies listed on Schedules A through L attached hereto (the “Portfolio Companies”)
WHEREAS, VPCOIF desires to sell all of the shares that it owns in the Master Fund as of the date hereof, estimated to be 53,626.2450 shares of the share capital of the Master Fund (the “Redeemed Shares”), and the Master Fund desires to redeem the Redeemed Shares, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Master Fund intends to make an in-kind distribution of the Securities of the Portfolio Companies to VPCOIF as consideration for the redemption of the Redeemed Shares.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, VPCOIF and the Master Fund each hereby agree as follows:
1. Redemption of the Redeemed Shares.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, VPCOIF hereby sells, assigns, transfers and delivers to the Master Fund all of the Redeemed Shares free and clear of all liens, security interests, claims, pledges and other encumbrances or restrictions whatsoever (“Liens”).
(b) As consideration for the sale and assignment contemplated by Section 1(a), the Master Fund hereby sells, assigns, transfers and delivers to VPCOIF all of the Master Fund’s right, title and interest in and to the Securities of the Portfolio Companies set forth on Schedules A through L attached hereto. VPCOIF hereby acknowledges receipt of copies of the documents, agreements, notes, certificates and instruments related to the Securities (the “Transaction Documents”). Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, from and after the date hereof, solely to the extent of the transferred interests in the Securities, (i) VPCOIF shall be a party to and be bound by the provisions of the Transaction Documents and shall acquire the Master Fund’s rights and assume its obligations thereunder, and (ii) the Master Fund shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Transaction Documents.
(c) The Master Fund will deliver to VPCOIF any certificates representing any of the Securities and will take all actions and execute any documents necessary or convenient to cause the Securities to be properly transferred to VPCOIF and to be properly registered in the name of VPCOIF (the “Transfer Documents”), including assistance updating any book entry Securities. In connection therewith, the Master Fund by its execution of this Agreement irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints VPCOIF as its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, and full power and authority in the Master Fund’s name, place and stead, to make, execute, sign, acknowledge, swear to, record and file any such Transfer Documents.
(d) Except for the right to receive the Securities in accordance with this Agreement, all rights of VPCOIF with respect to the Redeemed Shares are hereby terminated and the Redeemed Shares are hereby cancelled.
2. Representations and Warranties of VPCOIF.
VPCOIF represents and warrants that:
(a) The Securities are being acquired by VPCOIF for VPCOIF’s own account without a view to the public resale or distribution of any part thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and any applicable state securities laws (provided, however, that by making this representation, VPCOIF does not agree to hold the Securities for any minimum or specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws);
(b) VPCOIF has had an opportunity to review the public filings of each of the Portfolio Companies and to discuss with the Master Fund, and ask questions of the Master Fund regarding, the business of the Portfolio Companies, and their management and financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the Securities and the Transaction Documents;
(c) VPCOIF understands that the transfer of the Securities from the Master Fund to VPCOIF (other than the transfer of the Securities of Unigene Laboratories, Inc. (“Unigene”)) has not been, and shall not be, registered under the 1933 Act by reason of an exemption from the registration provisions of the 1933 Act which depends upon, among other things, the accuracy of VPCOIF’s representations expressed herein;
(d) VPCOIF understands that the Securities (other than the Unigene Securities) are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. laws and that, pursuant to these laws, VPCOIF must hold the Securities unless they are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and under applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available (and the Securities may bear restricted legends to such effect), and further understands that the Securities are subject to certain restrictions on transfer pursuant to the Transaction Documents;
(e) VPCOIF is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities;
2
(f) VPCOIF has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
3. Representations and Warranties of the Master Fund. The Master Fund represents and warrants that the Master Fund has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

5. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner to be effective, enforceable and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, the parties affected thereby shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of such parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by such provision be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
6. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
7. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements or undertakings, whether written or oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.
8. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands without reference to conflicts of laws.
