NOW, THEREFORE, Ocuphire, Rexahn and each Buyer hereby agree as follows:

Rexahn shall notify the Escrow Agent in writing of the occurrence of a First Additional Exchange Shares Delivery Date applicable to each Buyer and shall deliver a copy of such notice to such Buyer. On the First Additional Exchange Shares Delivery Date applicable to each Buyer, the Investor Representative (as defined in the applicable Securities Escrow Agreement) related to such Buyer and Rexahn shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release to Rexahn from the applicable escrow account governed by the Securities Escrow Agreement any Exchange Shares issued in exchange for Additional Common Shares to the extent that the Buyer(s) affiliated with such Investor Representative is not entitled to receive such Exchange Shares pursuant to this Section 1(c)(ii) without giving effect to the limitations under Section 1(c)(iv). Upon request of an Investor Representative, upon delivery of any Capacity Notice to the Escrow Agent, Rexahn hereby agrees to give instructions and to take any additional actions reasonably requested by such Investor Representative, to cause the Escrow Agent to promptly deliver (but in no event later than two (2) Trading Days after such request) the Additional Common Shares to which the applicable Buyer(s) are entitled pursuant to such Capacity Notice.
(iii) Mechanics of Delivery.
(1) General. Rexahn shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of its transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent") and all fees and expenses with respect to the delivery of Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares and transfer of such shares to each Buyer's or its designee's balance account with DTC, if any, including, without limitation, for same day processing. Rexahn's obligations to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver and transfer Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares to the Buyers in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof and the Securities Escrow Agreement are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by such Buyer to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person (as defined below) or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event will Rexahn have any responsibility under Section 1(c) until after the completion of the Merger and any Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares be delivered with any restrictive legends or any restrictions or limitations on resale by the Buyers. If Rexahn and/or the Transfer Agent requires any legal opinions with respect to the delivery of any Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares without restrictive legends or the removal of any such restrictive legends, Rexahn agrees to cause at its expense its legal counsel to issue any such legal opinions. Rexahn hereby acknowledges and agrees that the holding period of any Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares delivered hereunder for purposes of Rule 144 (as defined below) shall be deemed to have commenced on the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, "Person" means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof.
(2) Rexahn's Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If Rexahn shall fail for any reason or for no reason to credit such Buyer's or its designee's balance account with DTC on the applicable Additional Exchange Shares Delivery Date for such number of Exchange Shares issued in exchange of shares of Rexahn Common Stock to which such Buyer is entitled under Section 1(c)(ii) (a "Delivery Failure"), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Buyer, Rexahn shall pay in cash to such Buyer on each day after such Additional Exchange Shares Delivery Date that Rexahn shall fail to credit such Buyer's or its designee's balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock to which such Buyer is entitled pursuant to Rexahn's obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below, an amount equal to 1.5 % of the product of (A) the number of Exchange Shares not issued to such Buyer on or prior to the applicable Additional Exchange Shares Delivery Date and to which the Buyer is entitled, and (B) any trading price of the Rexahn Common Stock selected by the Buyer in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Additional Exchange Shares Delivery Date and ending on the date Rexahn makes the applicable cash payment, and if on or after such Trading Day such Buyer (or any Person in respect of, or on behalf, of such Buyer) purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Rexahn Common Stock related to the applicable Delivery Failure, then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Buyer, Rexahn shall, within two (2) Trading Days after such Buyer's request and in such Buyer's discretion, either (i) pay cash to such Buyer in an amount equal to such Buyer's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Rexahn Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point Rexahn's obligation to credit such Buyer's or its designee's balance account with DTC for such shares of Rexahn Common Stock shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to credit such Buyer's or its designee's balance account with DTC and pay cash to such Buyer in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock, multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Rexahn Common Stock selected by such Buyer in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Additional Exchange Shares Delivery Date and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this Section 1(c)(iii)(2). Nothing shall limit any Buyer's right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to Rexahn's failure to timely electronically deliver shares of Rexahn Common Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Rexahn shall have no obligations under Section 1(c) until after the closing of the Merger.
(3) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of the Additional Common Shares to the Escrow Agent and subsequent delivery of the Exchange Shares issued in exchange thereof to the Buyers shall be made without charge to the Buyers for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of such issuance and transfer, all of which taxes (other than the Buyers' income taxes) and expenses shall be paid by Rexahn, and the Exchange Shares issued in exchange of such Additional Common Shares shall be delivered in the name of the respective Buyer or in such name or names as may be directed by the respective Buyer.
(4) Closing of Books. Neither Ocuphire nor Rexahn will close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of such Buyer's rights with respect to the Exchange Shares issued in exchange of the Additional Common Shares.
(iv) Blocker. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Rexahn shall not deliver Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares, and no Buyer shall have the right to receive Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares, and any such delivery shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such delivery, such Buyer together with its other Attribution Parties (as defined in the Warrants) would beneficially own in excess of such percentage corresponding to the checked box on such Buyer's signature page attached hereto (the "Maximum Percentage") of the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such delivery. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock beneficially owned by such Buyer and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock held by such Buyer and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares delivered to such Buyer pursuant to Section 1(c) hereof with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of the Warrants beneficially owned by such Buyer or any of the other Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of Rexahn beneficially owned by such Buyer or any of the other Attribution Parties (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. For purposes of this Section 1(c)(iv), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"). For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Rexahn Common Stock that the Buyers may receive without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Buyers may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Rexahn Common Stock as reflected in (1) Rexahn's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by Rexahn or (3) any other written notice by Rexahn or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock outstanding (the "Reported Outstanding Share Number"). If Rexahn receives a Capacity Notice from such Buyer at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Rexahn Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, Rexahn shall promptly notify the Buyers in writing of the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Capacity Notice would otherwise cause a Buyer's beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(c)(iv), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, such Buyer must notify Rexahn of a reduced number of Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares to be delivered pursuant to such Capacity Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Buyer, Rexahn shall within one (1) Business Day (as defined below) confirm in writing or by electronic mail to such Buyer the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Rexahn Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of Rexahn, including the Warrants held by each Buyer and the other Attribution Parties since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the delivery of Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares to such Buyer results in such Buyer and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Rexahn Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so delivered by which such Buyer's and the other Attribution Parties' aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the "Excess Shares") shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and such Buyer shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. If a Buyer's right to receive Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares is limited, in whole or in part, by this Section 1(c)(iv), all such Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares that are so limited shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of such Buyer by the Escrow Agent until the earlier to occur of the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date and such time as such Buyer notifies Rexahn that its right thereto would not result in such Buyer exceeding the Maximum Percentage and Rexahn shall promptly but in any event within two (2) Trading Days after the delivery of such Capacity Notice deliver to such Buyer the Exchange Shares issued in exchange of such Additional Common Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to Rexahn, each Buyer may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to Rexahn and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Buyer and the other Attribution Parties and not to any of the other Buyers that is not an Attribution Party of such Buyer. For purposes of clarity, the Exchange Shares issued in exchange of the Additional Common Shares deliverable pursuant to the terms hereof in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by such Buyer for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(c)(iv) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(c)(iv) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor of such Buyer. As used herein, "Business Day" means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in The City of New York are authorized or required by law to remain closed.
(d) Warrant Closing. The time of the Warrant Closing shall be 10:00 a.m., New York City time on the tenth (10th) Trading Day immediately following the Closing Date (the "Warrant Closing Date"), and shall take place remotely by electronic transfer of Warrant Closing documentation, or at such other date and place as the parties hereto agree.
(e) Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Common Shares and the related Warrants to be purchased by each Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall be the amount set forth opposite such Buyer's name in column (5) of the Schedule of Buyers (the "Purchase Price").
(f) Form of Payment. On the Closing Date, (i) each Buyer shall pay its respective Purchase Price (less, in the case of Altium Growth Fund, LP (the "Lead Investor"), any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5(h)) to Ocuphire for the Common Shares and the Warrants to be issued and sold to such Buyer pursuant to this Agreement by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with Ocuphire's written wire instructions and (ii) Ocuphire shall deliver to each Buyer the number of Initial Common Shares such Buyer is purchasing as is set forth opposite such Buyer's name in column (3) of the Schedule of Buyers. On the Warrant Closing Date, Rexahn shall deliver to each Buyer (x) a Series A Warrant pursuant to which such Buyer shall have the right to acquire an initial amount of shares of Rexahn Common Stock equal to one-hundred (100%) percent of the quotient determined by dividing the Purchase Price paid by such Buyer on the Closing Date, by the Final Per Share Price, and (y) a Series B Warrant pursuant to which such Buyer shall have the right to acquire Series B Warrant Shares in accordance with its terms and conditions, in each case duly executed on behalf of Rexahn and registered in the name of such Buyer or its designee.
(g) Termination of Registration Rights Agreement. Rexahn and each Buyer hereby agree that, effective as of the Amendment and Restatement Date, the Registration Rights Agreement shall be terminated and be of no further force or effect.
2. BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Buyer, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants with respect to only itself to each of Ocuphire and Rexahn that, as of the Initial Subscription Date and as of the Closing Date:

Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of Ocuphire and Rexahn and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities that have been requested by such Buyer. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of Ocuphire and Rexahn. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer's right to rely on Ocuphire's and Rexahn's representations and warranties contained herein. Such Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. Such Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities. Such Buyer acknowledges and agrees that neither the Placement Agent (as defined in Section 3(g)) nor any Affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the Placement Agent has provided such Buyer with any information or advice with respect to the Securities nor is such information or advice necessary or desired.

In connection with the issuance of the Securities to such Buyer, neither the Placement Agent nor any of its Affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to such Buyer.
(e) No Governmental Review.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Buyer effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide Rexahn with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to Rexahn pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in Section 4(b)), including, without limitation, this Section 2(f).

3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF OCUPHIRE.
Ocuphire represents and warrants to each of the Buyers that, as of the Initial Subscription Date and as of the Closing Date:
(a) Organization and Qualification. Each of Ocuphire and its "Ocuphire Subsidiaries" (which for purposes of this Agreement means any entity in which Ocuphire, directly or indirectly, owns any of the capital stock or holds an equity or similar interest) are entities duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are formed, and have the requisite power and authorization to own their properties and to carry on their business as now being conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. Each of Ocuphire and each of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Ocuphire Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, "Ocuphire Material Adverse Effect" means any material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Ocuphire and the Ocuphire Subsidiaries, individually or taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby or on the other Ocuphire Transaction Documents (as defined below) or by the agreements and instruments to be entered into in connection herewith or therewith, or on the authority or ability of Ocuphire to perform any of its obligations under any of the Ocuphire Transaction Documents. Ocuphire has no Ocuphire Subsidiaries except as set forth in Schedule 3(a). The outstanding shares of capital stock of each of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by Ocuphire or another Ocuphire Subsidiary free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and equities and claims; and no options, warrants or other rights to purchase, agreements or other obligations to issue or other rights to convert any obligations into shares of capital stock or ownership interests in the Ocuphire Subsidiaries are outstanding.
(b) Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. As of (i) the Initial Subscription Date, subject to the approval of the Ocuphire stockholders of the transactions contemplated by the Draft Merger Agreement (collectively, the "Ocuphire Required Stockholder Approvals") and (ii) the Closing Date, Ocuphire has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Securities Escrow Agreement, the Lock-Up Agreements (as defined in Section 8(k)) and each of the other agreements entered into by Ocuphire in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the "Ocuphire Transaction Documents") and to issue the Common Shares in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Ocuphire Transaction Documents by Ocuphire and the consummation by Ocuphire of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Common Shares, have been duly authorized by Ocuphire's board of directors and (other than the filing of a Form D with the SEC and any other filings as may be required by any state securities agencies), no further filing, consent or authorization is required by Ocuphire, its board of directors or its stockholders (other than, as of the Initial Subscription Date, the Ocuphire Required Stockholder Approvals). This Agreement and the other Ocuphire Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by Ocuphire, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Ocuphire, enforceable against Ocuphire in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.
(c) Issuance of Common Shares. As of (i) the Initial Subscription Date, subject to the Ocuphire Required Stockholder Approvals and (ii) the Closing Date, the issuance of the Common Shares is duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the Ocuphire Transaction Documents, the Common Shares shall be validly issued and free from all preemptive or similar rights (except for those which have been validly waived prior to the Initial Subscription Date), taxes, liens and charges and other encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and the Common Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Ocuphire Common Stock. Assuming the accuracy of each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, the offer and issuance by Ocuphire of the Common Shares is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act.
(d) No Conflicts. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(d), the execution, delivery and performance of the Ocuphire Transaction Documents by Ocuphire and any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries and the consummation by Ocuphire of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Common Shares) will not (i) as of (x) the Initial Subscription Date, subject to the Ocuphire Required Stockholder Approvals, and (y) as of the Closing Date, result in a violation of the Ocuphire Certificate of Incorporation (as defined below) or Ocuphire Bylaws (as defined below) or other organizational documents of Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries, any capital stock of Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries or the articles of association or bylaws of Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) in any respect under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including foreign, federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations) applicable to Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, as would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Ocuphire Material Adverse Effect.

All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which Ocuphire is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained or effected on or prior to the Closing Date (or in the case of filings detailed above, will be made timely after the Closing Date).
(f) Acknowledgment Regarding Buyer's Purchase of Securities. Ocuphire acknowledges and agrees that each Buyer is acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length purchaser with respect to the Ocuphire Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that, prior to the purchase of Securities hereunder, no Buyer is (i) an officer or director of Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries, (ii) an "affiliate" of Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 144) or (iii) to the knowledge of Ocuphire, a "beneficial owner" of more than 10% of the Ocuphire Common Stock (as defined for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act). Ocuphire further acknowledges that no Buyer is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Ocuphire Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and any advice given by a Buyer or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Ocuphire Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Buyer's purchase of the Securities.

Neither Ocuphire, nor any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries or their affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities. Ocuphire shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent's fees, financial advisory fees, or brokers' commissions (other than for Persons engaged by any Buyer or its investment advisor) relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, placement agent fees payable to Canaccord Genuity LLC and Cantor Xxxxxxxxxx & Co. (collectively, the "Placement Agent") in connection with the sale of the Securities. Ocuphire shall pay, and hold each Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, attorney's fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any such claim. Ocuphire acknowledges that it has engaged the Placement Agent in connection with the sale of the Securities. Other than the Placement Agent, neither Ocuphire nor any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries has not engaged any placement agent or other agent in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.
(h) No Integrated Offering. None of Ocuphire, the Ocuphire Subsidiaries, their affiliates, nor any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause this offering of the Securities to require approval of stockholders of Ocuphire for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of Rexahn are listed or designated for quotation. None of Ocuphire, the Ocuphire Subsidiaries, their affiliates nor any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of any of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings for purposes of any such applicable stockholder approval provisions.

Ocuphire and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any stockholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of Ocuphire Common Stock or a change in control of Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries.

Ocuphire and the Ocuphire Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate foreign, federal or state regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Ocuphire Material Adverse Effect, and neither Ocuphire nor any such Ocuphire Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit.

Schedule 3(q) provides a detailed description of the material terms of such outstanding Indebtedness. For purposes of this Agreement: (x) "Indebtedness" of any Person means, without duplication (A) all indebtedness for borrowed money, (B) all obligations issued, undertaken or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services (including, without limitation, "capital leases" in accordance with GAAP) (other than trade payables entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice), (C) all reimbursement or payment obligations with respect to letters of credit, surety bonds and other similar instruments, (D) all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments, including obligations so evidenced incurred in connection with the acquisition of property, assets or businesses, (E) all indebtedness created or arising under any conditional sale or other title retention agreement, or incurred as financing, in either case with respect to any property or assets acquired with the proceeds of such indebtedness (even though the rights and remedies of the seller or bank under such agreement in the event of default are limited to repossession or sale of such property), (F) all monetary obligations under any leasing or similar arrangement which, in connection with GAAP is classified as a capital lease, (G) all indebtedness referred to in clauses (A) through (F) above secured by (or for which the holder of such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be secured by) any mortgage, claim, lien, tax, right of first refusal, pledge, charge, security interest or other encumbrance upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by any Person, even though the Person which owns such assets or property has not assumed or become liable for the payment of such indebtedness, and (H) all Contingent Obligations (as defined below) in respect of indebtedness or obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (G) above; and (y) "Contingent Obligation" means, as to any Person, any direct or indirect liability, contingent or otherwise, of that Person with respect to any indebtedness, capital lease, dividend or other obligation of another Person if the primary purpose or intent of the Person incurring such liability, or the primary effect thereof, is to provide assurance to the obligee of such liability that such liability will be paid or discharged, or that any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that the holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in part) against loss with respect thereto.

Ocuphire and the Ocuphire Subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Ocuphire Material Adverse Effect.

Any real property and facilities held under lease by Ocuphire and any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by Ocuphire and the Ocuphire Subsidiaries.

As used herein, “Disclosure Time” means no later than 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the second (2nd) Trading Day immediately following the Amendment and Restatement Date, unless otherwise instructed in writing as to an earlier time by the Lead Investor.
(k) Corporate Existence. So long as any Buyer beneficially owns any Securities, Rexahn shall maintain its corporate existence and shall not be party to any Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants) unless Rexahn is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Warrants.
(l) Reservation of Shares. From and after the closing of the Merger and while any Warrants remain outstanding, Rexahn shall take all action necessary to have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount. If at any time the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the requirements set forth in this Section 5(l), Rexahn will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet Rexahn’s obligations under this Section 5(l), in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the management shares of Rexahn in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of Rexahn Common Stock to ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the requirements set forth in this Section 5(l).
(m) Conduct of Business. The business of Ocuphire, Rexahn and their respective Subsidiaries shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, including, without limitation, FCPA and other applicable Anti-Bribery Laws, OFAC regulations and other applicable Sanctions Laws, and Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

(2) deal in, or otherwise engage in any transaction relating to, any property or interests in property blocked or subject to blocking pursuant to the applicable Sanctions Laws;
(3) use any of the proceeds of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to finance, promote or otherwise support in any manner any illegal activity, including, without limitation, any Anti-Money Laundering Laws, Sanctions Laws, or Anti-Bribery Laws; or
(4) violate, attempt to violate, or engage in or conspire to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, any of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, Sanctions Laws, or Anti-Bribery Laws.
(ii) Each of Ocuphire and Rexahn shall maintain in effect and enforce policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by it and its Subsidiaries and their directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives and affiliates with the Sanctions Laws and Anti-Bribery Laws.
(iii) During the Reporting Period, each of Ocuphire and Rexahn will promptly notify the Buyers in writing if any of it, or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates, directors, officers, employees, representatives or agents, shall become a Blocked Person, or become directly or indirectly owned or controlled by a Blocked Person.
(iv) During the Reporting Period, each of Ocuphire and Rexahn shall provide such information and documentation as the Buyers or any of their affiliates may require to satisfy compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, Sanctions Laws, or Anti-Bribery Laws.
(v) The covenants set forth above shall be ongoing during the Reporting Period. During the Reporting Period, each of Ocuphire and Rexahn shall promptly notify the Buyers in writing should it become aware (a) of any changes to these covenants, or (b) if it cannot comply with the covenants set forth herein. During the Reporting Period, each of Ocuphire and Rexahn shall also promptly notify the Buyers in writing should they become aware of an investigation, litigation or regulatory action relating to an alleged or potential violation of the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, Sanctions Laws, and Anti-Bribery Laws.
(n) Additional Issuances of Securities.
(i) For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply.
(1) “Convertible Securities” means any stock or securities (other than Options) convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ocuphire Common Stock or Rexahn Common Stock.
(2) “Options” means any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Ocuphire Common Stock, Rexahn Common Stock or Convertible Securities, including without limitation, any Warrants.
(3) “Trigger Date” means the date that is ninety (90) calendar days after the earlier of (x) such time as all of the Underlying Securities may be sold without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and (y) the date that is six (6) months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the event of a Public Information Failure on such date, the Trigger Date shall be such later date on which such Public Information Failure is cured and no longer prevents the Buyers from selling all Underlying Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction or limitation.
(ii) From the Initial Subscription Date until the Trigger Date, Rexahn shall not, directly or indirectly, file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto other than (A) the Final Form S-4 and (B) registration statements after the effective date of the Merger with respect to the issuance or resale of any Excluded Securities (as defined in the Series A Warrants) ((A) and (B), including any amendments or supplements thereto provided that the registration statements referenced in clauses (A) and (B) shall not register pursuant to any amendment or supplement thereto a greater number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock as being contemplated on the Initial Subscription Date (as such number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock may be adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction occurring after the Initial Subscription Date), collectively, “Exempt Registration Statements”), or cause any registration statement other than the Exempt Registration Statements to be declared effective by the SEC, or grant any registration rights to any Person that can be exercised prior to such time as set forth above. From the Initial Subscription Date until the date that is two-hundred forty (240) calendar days following the Closing Date, except for issuances pursuant to this Agreement or as contemplated by the Executed Merger Agreement, neither Ocuphire nor Rexahn shall, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any of its or its Subsidiaries’ debt, equity or equity equivalent securities (any such offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement being referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”) or be party to any solicitations, negotiations or discussions with regard to the foregoing.
(iii) From the Initial Subscription Date until the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, Rexahn will not, directly or indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement unless Rexahn shall have first complied with this Section 5(n)(iii).
(1) At least two (2) Business Days prior to any proposed or intended Subsequent Placement, Rexahn shall deliver to each Buyer a written notice (each such notice, a “Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall not contain any information (including, without limitation, material, non-public information) other than: (A) if the proposed Offer Notice (as defined below) constitutes or contains material, non-public information, a statement asking whether such Buyer is willing to accept material non-public information or (B) if the proposed Offer Notice does not constitute or contain material, non-public information, (x) a statement that Rexahn proposes or intends to effect a Subsequent Placement, (y) a statement that the statement in clause (x) above does not constitute material, non-public information and (z) a statement informing such Buyer that it is entitled to receive an Offer Notice with respect to such Subsequent Placement upon its written request. Upon the written request of a Buyer within two (2) Business Days after Rexahn’s delivery to such Buyer of such Pre-Notice, and only upon a written request by such Buyer, Rexahn shall promptly, but no later than 6:00 p.m. New York Time on the second Business Day after the delivery to such Buyer of such Pre-Notice, deliver to such Buyer a written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “Offer”) of the securities being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (w) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (x) describe the price (if known) and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (y) identify the Persons (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (z) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Buyers at least fifty percent (50%) of the Offered Securities (subject to the restrictions applicable to the Buyers set forth in Section 1(c)(iv) above), allocated among such Buyers (a) based on such Buyer’s pro rata portion of the number of Initial Common Shares purchased hereunder (the “Basic Amount”) and (b) with respect to each Buyer that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, Buyer who purchases more than $1,000,000 in value of the Initial Common Shares (each a “Qualified Buyer”) shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Buyers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”), which process shall be repeated until the Qualified Buyers shall have an opportunity to subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription Amount.
(2) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Buyer must deliver a written notice to Rexahn prior to the end of the second (2nd) Business Day after such Buyer’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of such Buyer’s Basic Amount that such Buyer elects to purchase and, if such Buyer shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Qualified Buyer elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Buyers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Qualified Buyer who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, that if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”), each Qualified Buyer who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Qualified Buyer bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Qualified Buyers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by Rexahn to the extent it deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Rexahn desires to modify or amend the material terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, Rexahn may deliver to each Buyer a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire at 10:00 p.m. New York Time on the second (2nd) Business Day after the day such Buyer receives such new Offer Notice. If a Buyer fails to timely notify Rexahn of its willingness to participate in the Subsequent Placement or otherwise fails to respond to the Pre-Notice, Rexahn may effect such Subsequent Placement without the participation of such on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice.
(3) Rexahn shall have two (2) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Buyers (the “Refused Securities”) pursuant to a definitive agreement (the “Subsequent Placement Agreement”), but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to Rexahn than those set forth in the Offer Notice and to publicly announce (a) the execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement and (b) either (x) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (y) the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.
(4) In the event Rexahn shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 5(n)(iii)(3) above), then each Buyer may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such Buyer elected to purchase pursuant to Section 5(n)(iii)(2) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities Rexahn actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Buyers pursuant to Section 5(n)(iii)(3) above prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Buyer so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, Rexahn may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Buyers in accordance with the mechanics of the Offer Notice set forth in Section 5(n)(iii)(1) above.
(5) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, the Buyers shall acquire from Rexahn, and Rexahn shall issue to the Buyers, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 5(n)(iii)(4) above if the Buyers have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Rexahn does not consummate the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the expiration of the Offer Period, Rexahn shall issue to the Buyers, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notice of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 5(n)(iii)(4) above if the Buyers have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by the Buyers of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by Rexahn and the Buyers of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Buyers and their respective counsel.
(6) Any Offered Securities not acquired by the Buyers or other Persons in accordance with Section 5(n)(iii)(3) above may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to the Buyers under the procedures specified in this Section 5(n)(iii).
(7) Rexahn and the Buyers agree that if any Buyer elects to participate in the Offer, (x) neither the definitive agreements with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto shall include any term or provisions whereby any Buyer shall be required to agree to any restrictions in trading as to any securities of Rexahn owned by such Buyer prior to such Subsequent Placement and (y) the Buyers shall be entitled to the same registration rights provided to other investors in the Subsequent Placement.
(8) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(n) and unless otherwise agreed to by the Buyers, Rexahn shall either confirm in writing to the Buyers that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case in such a manner such that the Buyers will not be in possession of material, nonpublic information, by the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice. If by the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by the Buyers, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the Buyers shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, nonpublic information with respect to Rexahn. Should Rexahn decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities, Rexahn shall provide each Buyer with another Offer Notice and each Buyer will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section 5(n)(iii). Rexahn shall not be permitted to deliver more than one (1) such Offer Notice to the Buyers in any 60 day period (other than the Offer Notices contemplated by the last sentence of Section 5(n)(iii)(2) of this Agreement).
(9) Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with respect to registered public offerings or other Subsequent Placements in which securities are issued primarily pursuant to one or more registration statements filed with the SEC with an underwriter or placement agent engaged by Rexahn with respect to such Subsequent Placement (each, a “Registered Subsequent Placement”), (x) any corresponding Offer Notice with respect thereto shall not be required to include pricing information to the extent such pricing information is then unavailable (but Rexahn (or the placement agent or underwriter, as applicable) shall provide such pricing information to each Buyer as soon as commercially practicable following the pricing call or meeting, as applicable, of such Registered Subsequent Placement) and (y) in lieu of the end of the Offer Period being determined as described above (but without modifying the obligation of Rexahn to deliver the Offer Notice for such Registered Subsequent Placement without such pricing in the timeframe as described above), each Buyer shall, after receipt of such pricing information, have the customary period, as reasonably determined by the underwriter or placement agent, as applicable, to thereafter elect to subscribe for such Buyer’s Basic Amount of the Offered Securities (or such greater allocation, at the discretion of the placement agent or underwriter, as applicable, and Rexahn) in such Registered Subsequent Placement. For the purposes of a Registered Subsequent Placement, Rexahn shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 5(n)(iii) if: (i) Rexahn or its underwriter, placement agent or financial advisor in good faith attempts to inform a Buyer of such offering on a confidential basis pursuant to a customary “wall crossing” procedure and such Buyer declines to speak with Rexahn or its underwriter, placement agent or financial advisor regarding the offering (i.e., it does not come “over the wall”) (it being understood that a Buyer will be deemed to have “declined to speak” to Rexahn or its underwriter, placement agent or financial advisor, and thus have waived its right to participate in such offering, if it could not be reached or does not provide a response within 24 hours after such good faith attempt to inform such Buyer of such offering); or (ii) Rexahn or its underwriter, placement agent or financial advisor contacts a Buyer following the first public announcement of the public offering and such Buyer is offered an allocation of or is allocated in such offering the lesser of: (A) its requested allocation in such public offering or (B) such Buyer’s Basic Amount; or (iii) if such Buyer cannot be located or is not responsive during the period between the first public announcement of the public offering and the pricing of such public offering (which may be the same day as the announcement in the case of a confidentially marketed public offering).
(iv) The restrictions contained in subsections (ii) and (iii) of this Section 5(n) shall not apply to (x) the disposition, exercise, cancellation, modification or termination of Parent Warrants that are outstanding on the day immediately preceding the Initial Subscription Date, (y) any issuance or proposed issuance of any Excluded Securities and (z) any solicitations, negotiations or discussions with regard to the foregoing. In addition, the restrictions contained in Section 5(n)(iii) shall not apply to (x) any offering or sale of securities on Form S-8 or Form S-4, or any similar or successor forms or (y) any offering or sale pursuant to an “at the market” offering by Rexahn that is effected by Rexahn through a broker-dealer; provided, however, that the transactions in the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) are otherwise permitted under this Agreement.
(o) Public Information. At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending at such time that all of the Underlying Securities, if a registration statement is not available for the resale of all of the Underlying Securities, may be sold without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1), if Rexahn shall (i) fail for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1), including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the current public information requirements under Rule 144(c) or (ii) if Rexahn has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and Rexahn shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (each, a “Public Information Failure”) then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder of Securities by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), Rexahn shall pay to each such holder an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of such holder’s Securities on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth day (prorated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such Public Information Failure no longer prevents a holder of Securities from selling such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without any restrictions or limitations. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 5(o) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (II) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event Rexahn fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.
(p) Notice of Disqualification Events. Each of Ocuphire and Rexahn will notify the Buyers in writing, prior to the Closing Date of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to any Ocuphire Covered Person or Rexahn Covered Person, respectively (as defined in Annex I), and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, reasonably be expected to become a Disqualification Event relating to any Ocuphire Covered Person or Rexahn Covered Person, respectively.
(q) FAST Compliance. While any Warrants are outstanding, Rexahn shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program.
(r) Lock-Up. Rexahn shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of any of the Lock-Up Agreements except to extend the term of the lock-up period and shall enforce the provisions of each Lock-Up Agreement in accordance with its terms. If any officer or director that is a party to a Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of a Lock-Up Agreement, Rexahn shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek specific performance of the terms of such Lock-Up Agreement.
(s) Leak-Out. Rexahn shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of any of the Leak-Out Agreements and shall enforce the provisions of each Leak-Out Agreement in accordance with its terms. If any officer or director that is a party to a Leak-Out Agreement breaches any provision of a Leak-Out Agreement, Rexahn shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek specific performance of the terms of such Leak-Out Agreement.
(t) Variable Securities. From the Initial Subscription Date until the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, Ocuphire, Rexahn, each Ocuphire Subsidiary and each Rexahn Subsidiary shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any Subsequent Placement involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which Ocuphire, Rexahn, any Ocuphire Subsidiary or any Rexahn Subsidiary (i) issues or sells any Convertible Securities either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Ocuphire Common Stock or Rexahn Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of Ocuphire or Rexahn or the market for the Ocuphire Common Stock or Rexahn Common Stock, other than pursuant to a customary “weighted average” anti-dilution provision or (ii) enters into any agreement (including, without limitation, an equity line of credit or an “at-the-market” offering) whereby Ocuphire, Rexahn, any Ocuphire Subsidiary or any Rexahn Subsidiary may sell securities at a future determined price (other than standard and customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights); provided, however, (i) a Variable Rate Transaction shall not include (x) any of the transactions pursuant to the Executed Merger Agreement or (y) the issuance of shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued by Rexahn prior to the Closing Date in connection with the exercise, exchange, cancellation or termination of the Parent Warrants that are outstanding on the day immediately preceding the Initial Subscription Date and (ii) Rexahn shall be permitted to consummate “at-the-market” offerings by a broker-dealer at any time after the later of (x) the date that is nine (9) months from the Closing Date and (y) the Trigger Date. Each Buyer shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against Ocuphire, Rexahn, the Ocuphire Subsidiaries and the Rexahn Subsidiaries to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages for an actual breach of this Section 5(t).
(u) Merger Agreement. The Executed Merger Agreement shall be substantially identical to the Draft Merger Agreement, subject to any amendments entered into in compliance with the terms of the Executed Merger Agreement and this Section 5(u). Neither Ocuphire nor Rexahn shall amend any of the terms of the Executed Merger Agreement without the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined in Section 10(e)) if such amendment would (x) adversely affect the rights of the Buyers under the Transaction Documents, (y) materially and adversely affect the Buyers as stockholders of Rexahn or (z) materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents. Ocuphire shall not waive any terms of the Executed Merger Agreement without the prior written consent of the Required Holders. Nothing herein shall prevent Ocuphire or Rexahn from terminating the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.
(v) Closing Documents. On or prior to fourteen (14) calendar days after the Closing Date, Rexahn agrees to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each Buyer and Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxx LLP a complete closing set (which may be solely in electronic format) of the executed Transaction Documents, Securities and any other documents required to be delivered to any party pursuant to Section 8 hereof or otherwise.
(w) Rexahn Closing Representations and Warranties. Effective as of the time of completion of the Merger, Rexahn covenants and agrees to make the representations and warranties set forth on Annex I attached hereto to each of the Buyers.
6. REGISTER; TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.
(a) Register. Rexahn shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of Rexahn as it may designate by notice to each holder of Securities), a register for the Warrants in which Rexahn shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Warrants have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee) and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Person. Rexahn shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of any Buyer or its legal representatives.
(b) Transfer Agent Instructions. Following the completion of the Merger, Rexahn shall issue irrevocable instructions to its Transfer Agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC, registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the Exchange Shares issued in exchange of the Additional Common Shares and the Warrant Shares upon delivery of a Capacity Notice or upon exercise of the Warrant, as applicable, in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Buyer to Rexahn upon delivery of a Capacity Notice or upon exercise of the Warrants, as applicable. Rexahn warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 6(b), and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof, will be given by Rexahn to its Transfer Agent, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of Rexahn as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with Section 2(f), Rexahn shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves the Warrant Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, the Transfer Agent shall issue such Securities to the Buyer, assignee or transferee, as the case may be, without any restrictive legend. Rexahn acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, Rexahn acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 6(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Rexahn of the provisions of this Section 6(b), that a Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
7. CONDITIONS TO OCUPHIRE’S OBLIGATION TO SELL AND REXAHN’S OBLIGATION TO ISSUE.
The obligation of Ocuphire hereunder to issue and sell the Common Shares at the Closing and the obligation of Rexahn hereunder to issue the Warrants at the Warrant Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for each of Ocuphire’s and Rexahn’s sole benefit and may be waived by Ocuphire and/or Rexahn at any time in its sole discretion by providing each Buyer with prior written notice thereof:

(c) The representations and warranties of such Buyer shall be true and correct as of the date when made and as of the Closing Date as though made at that time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date which shall be true and correct as of such specified date), and such Buyer shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by such Buyer at or prior to the Closing Date.

9. TERMINATION.
(a) In the event that the Closing shall not have occurred with respect to a Buyer on or before November 14, 2020 due to Ocuphire’s, Rexahn’s or such Buyer’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 7 and 8 above (and the nonbreaching party’s failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the Buyer, if such Buyer is the nonbreaching party, or Ocuphire, if Ocuphire is the nonbreaching party, or Rexahn, if Rexahn is the nonbreaching party, shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such Buyer, if such Buyer is the breaching party, or with respect to Ocuphire and Rexahn, if Ocuphire or Rexahn are the breaching party, at the close of business on such date by delivering a written notice to that effect to each other party to this Agreement and without liability of any party to any other party; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 9(a), Ocuphire shall remain obligated to reimburse the Lead Investor or its designee(s), as applicable, for the expenses described in Section 5(h) above.
(b) This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon termination of the Executed Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms; provided, however, Sections 5(h) and 5(j) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
10. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. In addition to, but not in limitation of, any other rights of a Buyer hereunder, if (a) this Agreement is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection of any indemnification or other obligation hereunder then outstanding or enforcement or any such obligation is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or a Buyer otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under this Agreement or to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of Ocuphire or Rexahn or other proceedings affecting Ocuphire’s or Rexahn’s creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Agreement, then Ocuphire or Rexahn, as applicable, shall pay the costs incurred by such Buyer for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements.
(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile or .pdf signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile or .pdf signature.
(c) Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between Ocuphire, Rexahn, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf, on the one hand, and the Buyers, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf, on the other hand, with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, none of Ocuphire, Rexahn nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by Ocuphire, Rexahn and the Required Holders, and any amendment to this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 10(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, Ocuphire and Rexahn. No provisions hereto may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the Buyers or holders of the applicable Securities then outstanding. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents, holders of Common Shares or holders of the Warrants, as the case may be. Neither Ocuphire nor Rexahn has, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, each of Ocuphire and Rexahn confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to Ocuphire or Rexahn or otherwise. As used herein, “Required Holders” means (I) prior to the Closing Date, the Buyers entitled to purchase at the Closing a majority of the aggregate amount of Initial Common Shares issuable hereunder and the aggregate amount of Warrant Shares issuable under the Warrants (without regard to any restriction or limitation on the exercise of the Warrants contained therein) and shall include the Lead Investor and (II) on or after the Closing Date, holders of at least a majority of the aggregate amount of Securities issued and issuable hereunder and under the Warrants held by the Buyers or successors and assigns of the Buyers pursuant to Section 10(g) (without regard to any restriction or limitation on the exercise of the Warrants or the delivery of the Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares contained therein or herein) as of the applicable time of determination and shall include the Lead Investor so long as the Lead Investor or any of its Affiliates holds any Securities.
(f) Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon delivery, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party) or by electronic mail; (iii) upon delivery, when sent by electronic mail (provided that the sending party does not receive an automated rejection notice); or (iv) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses, facsimile numbers and e-mail addresses for such communications shall be:

or to such other address, facsimile number and/or e-mail address and/or to the attention of such other Person as the recipient party has specified by written notice given to each other party five (5) calendar days prior to the effectiveness of such change. Written confirmation of receipt (A) given by the recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (B) mechanically or electronically generated by the sender’s facsimile machine or e-mail containing the time, date, recipient facsimile number and an image of the first page of such transmission or (C) provided by an overnight courier service shall be rebuttable evidence of personal service, receipt by facsimile or receipt from an overnight courier service in accordance with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively.
(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the Common Shares or the Warrants. Neither Ocuphire nor Rexahn shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, including by way of a Fundamental Transaction (unless Rexahn is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Warrants and other than the Merger in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Executed Merger Agreement). A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder without the consent of Ocuphire or Rexahn, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.
(h) Third Party Beneficiaries. The Placement Agent shall be a third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of the Buyers in Section 2, the representations and warranties of Ocuphire in Section 3 and the representations and warranties of Rexahn in Section 4. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that each Indemnitee (as defined below) shall have the right to enforce the obligations of Ocuphire and Rexahn with respect to Section 10(k) and as otherwise set forth in this Section 10(h).
(i) Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 9, the representations and warranties of Ocuphire, Rexahn and the Buyers contained in Sections 2, 3 and 4, and the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 5, 6 and 10 shall survive the Closing. Each Buyer, and each of Ocuphire and Rexahn, shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
(j) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(k) Indemnification.
(i) In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of Ocuphire’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, Ocuphire shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and each other holder of the Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by Ocuphire in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document of Ocuphire contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Ocuphire contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document of Ocuphire contemplated hereby or thereby, (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of Ocuphire or Rexahn) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (iii) any disclosure made by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(j), or (iv) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities as an investor in Ocuphire pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or (d) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by the Escrow Agent. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by Ocuphire may be unenforceable for any reason, Ocuphire shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.
(ii) In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of Rexahn’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, Rexahn (starting immediately after the Closing) shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by Rexahn in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Rexahn contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of Ocuphire or Rexahn) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (iii) any disclosure made by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(j), or (iv) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities as an investor in Rexahn pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by Rexahn may be unenforceable for any reason, Rexahn shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.
(iii) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 10(k) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if an Indemnified Liability in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 10(k), deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and, the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for all such Indemnitee to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnitee, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnitee and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. Legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Required Holders. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liabilities by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action or Indemnified Liabilities. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnitee fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liabilities or litigation and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 10(k), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The provisions of this Section 10(k)(iii) shall not apply to direct claims among any of the parties to this Agreement.
(iv) The indemnification required by this Section 10(k) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.
(v) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitee against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
(l) 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.
(m) Remedies. Each Buyer and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, each of Ocuphire and Rexahn recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyers. Each of Ocuphire and Rexahn therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.
(n) Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and either Ocuphire or Rexahn does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to Ocuphire or Rexahn, as applicable, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
(o) Payment Set Aside. To the extent that Ocuphire or Rexahn makes a payment or payments to the Buyers hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to Ocuphire or Rexahn, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
(p) Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and each of Ocuphire and Rexahn acknowledges that the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group, and neither Ocuphire nor Rexahn shall assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and each of Ocuphire and Rexahn acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each of Ocuphire and Rexahn acknowledges and each Buyer confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

ANNEX I
Rexahn represents and warrants to each of the Buyers that, as of the time of completion of the Merger on the Closing Date:
(a) Enforceability; Validity. This Agreement and the other Rexahn Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by Rexahn, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Rexahn, enforceable against Rexahn in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors' rights and remedies.
(b) Acknowledgment Regarding Buyer's Purchase of Securities. Rexahn acknowledges and agrees that each Buyer is acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length purchaser with respect to the Rexahn Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that no Buyer is (i) an officer or director of Rexahn or any of the Rexahn Subsidiaries, (ii) an "affiliate" of Rexahn or any of the Rexahn Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 144) or (iii) to the knowledge of Rexahn, a "beneficial owner" of more than 10% of the Rexahn Common Stock (as defined for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act). Rexahn further acknowledges that no Buyer is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of Rexahn or any of the Rexahn Subsidiaries (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Rexahn Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and any advice given by a Buyer or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Rexahn Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Buyer's purchase of the Securities. Rexahn further represents to each Buyer that Rexahn's decision to enter into the Rexahn Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by Rexahn and its representatives.
(c) No Integrated Offering. None of Rexahn, the Rexahn Subsidiaries their affiliates, nor any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause this offering of the Securities to require approval of stockholders of Rexahn for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of Rexahn are listed or designated for quotation. None of Rexahn, the Rexahn Subsidiaries, their affiliates nor any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of any of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings for purposes of any such applicable stockholder approval provisions.
(d) Application of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreement. Rexahn and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any stockholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of Rexahn Common Stock or a change in control of Rexahn or any of the Rexahn Subsidiaries.
(e) SEC Documents; Financial Statements.
