(a) Common Stock. Subject to Section 2.6(e) and Section 2.6(f), each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares, any shares held by the Company as treasury stock, any shares authorized but unissued or any shares of Common Stock held by Parent, Merger Sub or any wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or the Company) shall be converted into the right to receive, without interest, the following:

(i) a number of Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio, (such amount of shares to be calculated by way of the Exchange Ratio, the “Per Share Stock Consideration”); plus

(ii) one contingent value right (a “CVR”), which shall represent the right to receive a contingent payment upon the achievement of certain milestones set forth in, and subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contingent Value Rights Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “CVR Agreement”) to be entered into between Parent, the Stockholder Representative and a rights agent selected by Parent with the Company’s prior approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) (the “Rights Agent”), if any, at the times provided for in the CVR Agreement, without interest (the Per Share Stock Consideration and one CVR together with any cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Depositary Shares to be paid pursuant to Section 2.6(e), are collectively referred to herein as the “Per Share Merger Consideration”).

All Parent Ordinary Shares shall be delivered to the holders of Common Stock in the form of American Depositary Receipts, each representing the right to receive such number of Parent Ordinary Shares as Parent may determine to be the optimum number of Parent Ordinary Shares (the “Parent Depositary Shares”). The Parent Depositary Shares shall be issued in accordance with the Deposit Agreement.

(b) Preferred Stock.

(i) Each share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive, without interest, an amount in cash equal to the Series A Per Share Amount;

(c) Merger Sub Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, automatically be converted into and thereafter represent one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable common share, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Cancellation of Shares. Any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock that are (i) held by the Company as treasury stock, (ii) authorized by the Company but unissued and (iii) owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, automatically cease to be outstanding, and be canceled without payment of any consideration therefor and cease to exist.

(e) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Parent Depositary Shares will be issued by virtue of the Merger, but in lieu thereof each former holder of shares of Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Depositary Shares (after aggregating all Parent Depositary Shares that would otherwise be received by such holder) shall, upon surrender of such holder’s Certificate(s) or Book-Entry Shares, if applicable, receive from Parent an amount of cash in United States dollars (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, less the amount of any withholding taxes with respect to such fractional shares as contemplated by Section 2.12, which are required to be withheld with respect thereto, equal to the product of (i) such fraction, multiplied by (ii) the United States dollar equivalent of the closing price of the Parent Ordinary Shares underlying the Parent Depositary Shares on the AIM on the last trading day preceding the Closing Date. The calculation of the United States dollar equivalent of such closing price will be based on the arithmetic mean of the buy and sell spot rates of exchange for British pounds sterling and United States dollars on the London market at 11:00 a.m., London time, on the last trading day in London preceding the Closing Date.

(f) Adjustments. The Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any forward or reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into Parent Ordinary Shares or Common Stock), stock sale, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to shares of Parent Ordinary Shares or Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(g) Treatment of Dissenters’ Shares. No Dissenters’ Shares shall be converted into the Per Share Merger Consideration Series A Per Share Amount, Series B-2 Per Share Amount or Series C-1 Per Share Amount pursuant to this Section 2.6 but instead shall be treated in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.9, unless the holder of such Dissenters’ Shares loses or fails to perfect his, her or its appraisal rights with respect to such Dissenting Shares.

2.7 Treatment of Equity Awards.

(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option, other than those options set forth in Section 2.7 of the Company Schedule, shall become fully vested and exercisable. Prior to the Effective Time, each holder thereof may elect to exercise, effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, any such option in accordance with the terms thereof, contingent on the consummation of the Merger, and shall receive, for any shares acquired in such exercise, the Per Share Merger Consideration. If the Merger is not completed, any Company Stock Options exercised will remain outstanding, subject to their respective original vesting schedules. No Company Stock Option set forth in Section 2.7 of the Company Schedule shall, by virtue of this Agreement, vest due to the occurrence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and all such Company Stock Options set forth in Section 2.7 of the Company Schedule, including any such option assumed by Parent pursuant to this Section 2.7(a), shall vest in accordance with their vesting schedule. At the Effective Time, any outstanding but unexercised Company Stock Option, whether or not then exercisable, shall be assumed by Parent and converted into an option to purchase Parent Ordinary Shares in accordance with this Section 2.7(a). Each Company Stock Option so converted shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same material terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable agreement pursuant to which such Company Stock Option was granted immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that, as of the Effective Time, (i) each Company Stock Option shall be exercisable for that number of whole Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of Parent Ordinary Shares, and (ii) the per share exercise price for each Parent Ordinary Share issuable upon exercise of each Company Stock Option so converted shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Common Stock at which such Company Stock Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing conversion will be subject to such modifications, if any, as may be necessary to comply with Section 409A and/or Section 424(a) of the Code, as applicable. All Parent Ordinary Shares to be delivered to the holders of Company Stock Options upon exercise after the Effective Time shall be in the form of Parent Depositary Shares.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Section 2.7 to any holder of Company Stock Options such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Law related to Taxes, and the Surviving Corporation shall make any required filings with and payments to the appropriate Governmental Entities relating to any such deduction or withholding for Taxes. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity responsible for the Taxes, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Stock Options in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(c) Prior to the Closing Date, and subject to the review and approval of Parent, Parent and Company will take all actions necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.7 under applicable Law and all such Company Stock Options, including delivering all notices required thereby.

(d) The Board of Directors of the Company shall terminate the Company Option Plans at the Effective Time; provided, however, that such termination may be contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing.

2.8 Company Warrants; Oncogenerix Contingent Merger Consideration Shares.

(a) Each outstanding and unexercised Company Warrant as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will, by virtue of this Agreement and without any action on the part of any holder of a Company Warrant, be assumed or substituted by Parent in accordance with the terms of such Company Warrant and that, as of the Effective Time, (i) shall be exercisable for (A) that number of whole Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the product of the number of shares of Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of Parent Ordinary Shares and (B) one CVR multiplied by the total number of shares of Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) the per share exercise price for each Parent Ordinary Share issuable upon exercise of the Company Warrants so converted shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Common Stock at which such Company Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. All Parent Ordinary Shares to be delivered to the holders of Company Warrants upon exercise after the Effective Time shall be in the form of Parent Depositary Shares.

(b) Prior to the Closing Date (i) subject to the review and approval of Parent, Company will take all actions necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.8 under applicable Law and all Company Warrant agreements, including delivering all notices required thereby and, if required, entering into termination agreements with the holders of such Company Warrants and (ii) Parent shall use it commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an agreement or agreements to assume any outstanding Company Warrants consistent with the terms of such Company Warrants.

At or substantially concurrently with the Effective Time, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to (i) (A) deposit with the Exchange Agent Parent Depositary Shares evidencing the number of Parent Depositary Shares that are issuable pursuant to Section 2.6 or (B) provide the Exchange Agent an uncertificated Parent Depositary Share book-entry representing the number of Parent Depositary Shares that are issuable pursuant to Section 2.6, (ii) deposit with the Exchange Agent cash in an amount sufficient for payment of the Series A Per Share Amount, Series B-2 Per Share Amount and Series C-1 Per Share Amount, and (iii) deposit with the Exchange Agent cash in an amount sufficient for payment in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock to which holders of Common Stock may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.6(e), together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto as provided in Section 2.6(f), in each case to be held by the Exchange Agent in trust for the benefit of the holders of shares of capital stock of the Company, are referred to herein as the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Agent shall deliver the Per Share Merger Consideration, the Series A Per Share Amount, Series B-2 Per Share Amount and Series C-1 Per Share Amount, cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock and any dividends or other distributions contemplated to be paid for capital stock of the Company pursuant to this Agreement out of the Exchange Fund as contemplated hereby.

Such letter of transmittal shall be in customary form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify, which may include provisions requiring each holder of record of a Certificate (or the beneficial owner thereof through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) to certify that such holder or beneficial owner (1) is either (a) not a resident of the United Kingdom or (b) if a resident of the United Kingdom, is a “qualified investor” within the meaning of Section 86(7) of the UK Financial Services & Markets Act 2000 (“UK FSMA”) or (2) is a resident of the United Kingdom and not a “qualified investor” within the meaning of Section 86(7) of UK FSMA.

(g) No Liability. None of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any amount properly delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(i) If: (A) after the date of this Agreement, an Acquisition Proposal is made to the Company and is not withdrawn; (B) such unsolicited, bona fide, Acquisition Proposal was not obtained or made as a result of a breach of this Agreement or any “standstill,” confidentiality or similar agreement under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has any rights or obligations; (C) at least five Business Days prior to effecting a Change in Recommendation, the Company provides Parent with a written notice specifying the terms and conditions of the offer (including a copy of any draft definitive agreement reflecting the offer), and the identity of the Person making the offer; (D) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after obtaining and taking into account the advice of an independent financial advisor and the advice of outside legal counsel, that such offer constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal; (E) the Board of Directors of the Company does not effect, or cause the Company to effect, a Change in Recommendation at any time within five Business Days after Parent receives written notice from the Company confirming that the Board of Directors of the Company has determined that such offer is a Superior Proposal; (F) during such five Business Day period, if requested by Parent, the Company engages in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement and shall not have determined that the Acquisition Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal or would no longer reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal if such proposed changes were given effect; (G) at the end of such five Business Day period, such offer has not been withdrawn and continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent as a result of the negotiations required by clause “(F)”); and (H) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after obtaining and taking into account the advice of outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Superior Proposal, the failure to effect a Change in Recommendation would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the Board of Directors of the Company’s fiduciary obligations to the Company’s Stockholders under applicable Law (it being understood that in the event of any revisions to the terms of a Superior Proposal, the provisions of this Section 6.2(d)(i) shall apply to such revised offer as if it were a new offer hereunder); or

(ii) If: (A) a material development or change in circumstances occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement that was not known to the Company or if known, the material consequences of which are reasonably foreseeable by such Board of Directors as of the date of this Agreement (such material development or change in circumstances being referred to as an “Intervening Event”); (B) at least five Business Days prior to effecting a Change in Recommendation, the Company provides Parent with a written notice specifying the material details of such Intervening Event; (C) during such five Business Day period, if requested by Parent, the Company engages in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement and shall not have determined that such proposed changes obviate the need for the Board of Directors of the Company to effect, or cause the Company to effect, a Change in Recommendation as a result of such Intervening Event; and (D) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after obtaining and taking into account the advice of outside legal counsel, that, the failure to effect a Change in Recommendation, in light of such Intervening Event, would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the Board of Directors of the Company’s fiduciary obligations to the Company’s Stockholders under applicable Law.

(e) Notwithstanding (i) any Change in Recommendation, (ii) the public proposal or announcement or other submission to the Company or any of its Representatives of an Acquisition Proposal or (iii) anything in this Agreement to the contrary, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the obligations of the Company under Section 6.1, Section 6.2(a) and Section 6.2(b) shall continue in full force and effect. The Company agrees that it shall not submit to the vote of the Company’s Stockholders any Alternative Proposal (whether a Superior Proposal or not) prior to the vote of the Company’s Stockholder’s with respect to the Company Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholder Meeting unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

6.3 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, during the period from the date hereof through the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 8 hereof, the Company shall, and shall cause the Representatives of the Company and its Subsidiaries to, (i) provide Parent and its Representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours and with reasonable advance notice and in a manner so as not to interfere with the normal business operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, to the premises and properties of the Company, the Representatives of the Company and its Subsidiaries, personnel and assets, books, records, Tax Returns, work papers, and other documents, and additional financial, operating, and other data and information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case as Parent may request and (ii) cause its officers to confer regularly with Parent concerning the status of the Company’s business as Parent may reasonably request. In addition, the Company shall promptly provide Parent with (A) all material operating and financial reports prepared by the Company and its Subsidiaries for the Company’s management, including copies of the unaudited monthly consolidated financial statements; (B) all other information provided to directors of the Company in connection with meetings of their Boards of Directors or committees thereof; and (C) any other written reports or other written materials reasonably requested by Parent, provided that Parent and its Representatives shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the Company’s business or operations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to provide any access to any information or documents (i) which it reasonably determines upon advice of counsel that it may not provide to Parent and its Representatives by reason of applicable Law or (ii) except as may be expressly required pursuant to other terms of this Agreement, all copies of minutes or deliberations of the Board of Directors of the Company (or any committee thereof) involving the transactions contemplated hereby (except that the Company shall provide Parent with access to the board resolutions of the Company approving the transactions contemplated hereby). The parties hereto will use their commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the proceeding sentence apply. Until the Effective Time, the information provided will be subject to the terms of the Letter of Intent, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent, Merger Sub and Secondary Merger Sub shall not, and shall cause their respective Representatives not to, use such information for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Prior to the submission of any material applications, filings or other materials with the FDA (including any New Drug Application), the Federal Trade Commission, the Drug Enforcement Agency or any other similar Governmental Entity, in each case, relating to any product of the Company or its Subsidiaries or any product the Company or its Subsidiaries may develop after the date hereof, the Company shall (i) provide drafts of such applications, filings or other materials to Parent reasonably sufficiently in advance of submission and (ii) consider in good faith any comments, concerns and recommendations made, or changes requested, by Parent reasonably promptly in relation thereto prior to such submission.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to deliver to Parent any reports filed by the Company with the SEC for which Parent may obtain a copy through the SEC’s EDGAR filing system.

6.4 Notification of Certain Matters.

(a) From the date hereof through the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 7 hereof, each Party (other than the Stockholder Representative) shall promptly, but in any event no less than one Business Day following any such event, notify the other Parties in writing of:

(i) the discovery of any event, condition, fact, or circumstance that occurs from the date of the Agreement to the Closing Date that causes or constitutes a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect;

(ii) any breach of any covenant or obligation of such Party under this Agreement;

(iii) any event, condition, fact or circumstance that would make the timely satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article 7 impossible or unlikely; and

(iv) (A) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the Consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and (B) to the Knowledge of such Party, any Action or material claim threatened, commenced, or asserted against or with respect to such Party or any of its Affiliates or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) The Company will promptly notify Parent upon the Company receiving Knowledge of (i) any complaints, investigations or hearings (or communications indicating that the same may be contemplated) of any Governmental Entity, or (ii) the institution or the written threat of litigation involving the Company, and will keep Parent fully informed of such events.

(c) No notification given pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall limit or otherwise affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations of the Parties contained in this Agreement.

6.5 Legal Conditions to Merger; Third Party Consents; Regulatory Filings.

(a) Each of the Company and Parent shall use their reasonable best efforts (a) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements which may be imposed on such party with respect to the Merger and, subject to the conditions set forth in Article 7 hereof, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (b) to the extent requested by the other party, to obtain (and to cooperate with the other party to obtain) any consent, authorization, or approval of any third party non-Governmental Entity, including those consents set forth on Section 3.5(a) of the Company Schedule, or any waiver thereof, as may be required to be obtained (i) by the Company under any Company Contract or (ii) by Parent under any material Contract which Parent is a party, in each case, in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) The Parties (other than the Stockholder Representative) shall make all material filings and notices required by any federal, state, local, municipal, foreign, international, multinational, or other administrative order, constitution, law, ordinance, regulation, statute, or treaty, including, without limitation all requisite filings with the SEC, necessary for the consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall promptly submit any additional information requested with such filings and notices that are related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) Parent and the Company shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Entity whose consent or approval is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any such approval will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval will be materially delayed.

6.6 Takeover Law. The Company and its Board of Directors shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no state takeover Law or similar Law or any takeover-related provision in the Company Organizational Documents is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Voting Agreements, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) if any state takeover Law or similar Law or any takeover-related provision in the Company Organizational Documents becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Voting Agreements, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such Law on this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.7 Publicity. Except with respect to any Change in Recommendation undertaken pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 6.2, so long as this Agreement is in effect, the Company and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with each other before issuing any press release or making any public announcement primarily relating to this Agreement, the CVR Agreement, the Voting Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except for any press release or public announcement as may be required by applicable Law or any listing agreement with a securities exchange or quotation system (including NASDAQ and the AIM) (and then only after as much advance notice and consultation as is feasible), shall not issue any such press release or make any such public announcement without the consent of the Company or Parent, as the case may be, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, following the public announcement of the Closing, the Stockholder Representative shall be permitted to publicly announce that it has been engaged to serve as the Stockholder Representative in connection with the Merger as long as such announcement does not disclose any of the other terms of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated herein.

6.8 Employee Matters.

(a) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Parent and its Subsidiaries shall recognize the service of employees of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries with the Company prior to the Closing Date as service with Parent and its Subsidiaries for purposes of eligibility for benefits (including, without limitation, vacation accrual) and, if applicable vesting under employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements maintained by Parent or one of its Subsidiaries to the extent made available to such employees following the Closing Date; provided that employees of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries shall only be credited with service with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to the extent that it would not result in a duplication of benefits. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to honor, in accordance with their terms, all individual employment, retention, termination, severance, other similar agreements, long term incentive plans, supplemental executive retirement plans, deferral plans and any similar plans with any employee or maintained for the benefit of any employee.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries and ERISA Affiliates to maintain and honor, in accordance with their respective terms, all Company Benefit Plans and other individual employment, retention, termination, severance, other similar agreements, long term incentive plans, supplemental executive retirement plans, deferral plans and any similar plans with any employee or maintained for the benefit of any employee.

(c) Unless otherwise requested in writing by Parent prior to the Effective Time, effective no later than the day before the Closing Date, the Company and each of its ERISA Affiliates and Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall terminate any Company Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (each, a “401(a) Plan”) by proper Board action and after the provision of any required employee notification. Before the Closing Date, the Company and each of its ERISA Affiliates, as applicable, shall provide to Parent (i) copies of duly adopted resolutions terminating the 401(a) Plan, and (ii) an executed amendment to the 401(a) Plan and other documentation sufficient to assure compliance with all applicable requirements of the Code and regulations thereunder. The resolution and amendment shall be subject to the prior review and approval of Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. At the request of the Parent, the Company and each of its ERISA Affiliates, as applicable, shall terminate any and all other Company Benefit Plans, including without limitation any group health, dental, severance, separation or salary continuation plans, programs or arrangements, effective either immediately before the Closing Date or thereafter as specified by Parent. To the extent a 401(a) Plan is terminated in accordance with this Section 6.8(c), Parent shall cause the tax-qualified defined contribution plan established or maintained by Parent, if any (“Parent’s Savings Plan”), to accept rollovers (including any promissory notes), provided that such rollovers are “eligible rollover distributions” (as defined in Code Section 402(c)(4) and determined in the Parent’s sole discretion) from continuing Company employees with respect to any account balances distributed to them by the 401(a) Plans. The distribution and rollover described herein shall comply with applicable Laws and each party shall take any actions required of such party under applicable Laws in connection therewith. Each continuing employee shall be immediately eligible to participate in Parent’s Savings Plan as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall require Parent to establish a Parent’s Saving Plan. If, in accordance with this Section 6.8(c), Parent requests in writing that the Company not terminate the 401(a) Plans, the Company shall take such actions as Parent may reasonably require in furtherance of the assumption of the 401(a) Plans by Parent, including, but not limited to, adopting such amendments as Parent may deem necessary or advisable in connection with such assumption.

(d) Nothing in this Section 6.8, express or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Section 6.8.

6.9 Indemnification and Insurance of Directors and Officers.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation, and from and after the Secondary Merger, the Surviving Company to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless (and Parent shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, including the UK Companies Act) all current and former directors, officers and employees, as the case may be, of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the fullest extent permitted by Law (in the case of Parent, provided it is a qualifying third party indemnity provision under Section 23A of the UK Companies Act) for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) in their capacities as such. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation, and from and after the Secondary Merger, the Surviving Company to, fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any current or former directors, officers and employees, as the case may be, of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and any indemnification, exculpation or advancement provisions under the Company Organizational Documents or the comparable charter or organizational documents of any of its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date hereof, in each case to the maximum extent permitted by Law, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provision in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of such indemnitee thereunder for any acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time for a period of six years from the Effective Time; provided however, that all rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses in respect of any Action or claim made during such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or claim.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will endeavor to enter into a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering those Persons who, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, are covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (the ”Insured Parties”) on terms no less favorable to the Insured Parties than those of the Company’s present directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (such policy, a ”Company D&O Policy”), for a period of six years after the Effective Time. If the Company is unable to obtain such a Company D&O Policy prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation, and from and after the Secondary Merger, the Surviving Company to, maintain in effect, for a period of six years after the Closing Date, a Company D&O Policy with a creditworthy issuer; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent be required to expend annually more than 225% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage (the approximate amount of which is set forth on Section 6.9(b) of the Company Schedule) and, if the cost for such coverage is in excess of such amount, Parent shall be required only to maintain the maximum amount of coverage as is reasonably available for 225% of such annual premium.

(c) The Company shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any indemnitee and/or Insured Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided hereunder or other applicable indemnification obligation referenced to herein. If expenses are advanced to any Person, the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Person is not entitled to indemnification.

(d) If Parent, the Surviving Corporation (and from and after the Secondary Merger, the Surviving Company) or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation (and from and after the Secondary Merger, the Surviving Company), as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9 to the extent permitted by Law.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.9 are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Persons indemnified hereby, and his or her heirs and Representatives. The provisions in this Section 6.9 are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract, applicable Law or otherwise.

6.10 No Solicitation.

(a) Subject to the remainder of this Section 6.10, from the Effective Date until the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company agrees that it shall not, and that it shall cause its Subsidiaries or any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage, induce, or facilitate or take any other action designed to facilitate the submission of any proposals or offers that constitute or that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) engage in any discussions or negotiations with, furnish any nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, or otherwise cooperate with, any Person in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal or an inquiry or indication of interest that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) except as permitted by Section 6.2(d), approve, endorse, or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or (iv) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any Contract contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Transaction (other than an acceptable confidentiality agreement containing customary limitations on the use and disclosure of all nonpublic written and oral information furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company and containing terms no less favorable to the Company than the terms of confidentiality provisions set forth in the Letter of Intent).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.10(a), if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval (but in no event after obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval), (i) the Company has received a bona fide written, unsolicited Acquisition Proposal that did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 6.10 or any standstill or similar agreement, from a third party and (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, then the Company may, subject to compliance with Section 6.10(c), (A) furnish nonpublic information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries to the third party making such Acquisition Proposal and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the third party making such Acquisition Proposal regarding such Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that the Company (x) will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose any nonpublic information to such third party without entering into an acceptable confidentiality agreement containing customary limitations on the use and disclosure of all nonpublic written and oral information furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company and containing terms no less favorable to the Company than the terms of the confidentiality provisions set forth in the Letter of Intent and (y) will as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than 24 hours) after it is provided to such third party provide to Parent any nonpublic information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries provided to such third party which was not previously provided to Parent; and provided, further, that the Company will not take any of the actions described in (A) or (B) above unless and until the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that the failure to take that action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s Stockholders under applicable Law. The Board of Directors of the Company shall not take any of the actions referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of the preceding sentence unless the Company shall have delivered to Parent a prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action at least one Business Day prior to taking such action. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any violation of any of the restrictions set forth in the preceding two sentences by any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not such Representative is purporting to act on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 6.10 by the Company.

(c) During the period from the date hereof to the Closing Date, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt by the Company or, to the Company’s Knowledge, any Representative of the Company of any Acquisition Proposal, or of any request for nonpublic information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Person in connection with an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall provide such notice orally and in writing and shall identify the Person making, and the terms and conditions of, any Acquisition Proposal, indication or request (including providing Parent with a copy of all material documentation and correspondence with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal relating thereto). The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a current basis, of the status and details of any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request and promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) provide Parent with copies of all written correspondence or communications sent or provided to or by the Company and its Representatives in connection with any Acquisition Proposal.

(d) The Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions with any Person that relate to any Acquisition Proposal and shall request that any such Person (or its agents and advisors) in possession of confidential information about the Company or its Subsidiaries that was previously furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to return or destroy all such information.

(e) During the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of any confidentiality agreement to which it is a party relating to a proposed business combination involving the Company or any standstill agreement to which it is a party unless the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. During such period, the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the provisions of any such agreement, including by obtaining injunctions to prevent any breaches of such agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof in each case except to the extent that the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that taking such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f) Nothing set forth in this Section 6.10 shall prohibit the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, from taking and disclosing to the Company’s Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the Company Stockholders) or (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the Company’s Stockholders) if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s Stockholders under applicable law; provided that this Section 6.10(f) shall not be deemed to permit the Board or any committee thereof to make a Change in Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or take any of the actions referred to in Section 6.10(b), except to the extent permitted by Section 6.2(d)(i) or Section 6.2(d)(ii).

6.11 Subsequent Financial Statements. As soon as reasonably practicable after they become available, but in no event more than 30 days after the end of each calendar month ending after the date hereof, the Company shall furnish to Parent (a) consolidated and consolidating financial statements (including balance sheets, statements of operations and shareholders’ equity) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of and for such month then ended, (b) internal management financial control reports showing actual financial performance against plan and previous period, and (c) any reports provided to the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof relating to the financial performance of the Company. In addition, the Company shall furnish Parent with a copy of each report filed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with a Governmental Entity within three Business Days following the filing thereof. All information furnished by the Company to Parent pursuant to this Section 6.11 shall be held in confidence to the same extent of Parent’s obligations under the Letter of Intent.

6.12 Additional Agreements. In case at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of any of the parties to the Merger, the proper officers and directors of each party to this Agreement and Parent’s and the Company’s Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by Parent or the Company, as the case may be.

6.13 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate, but not control, at Parent’s expense, in the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

6.14 Listing Application. Parent shall promptly prepare and submit to NASDAQ a listing application covering the Parent Depositary Shares deliverable in connection with the Merger and to obtain, prior to the Effective Time, approval for the listing of such Parent Depositary Shares, subject to official notice of issuance. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and Secondary Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part to enable and facilitate the listing of the Parent Depositary Shares on NASDAQ. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Parent to enable and facilitate the listing of the Parent Depositary Shares on NASDAQ.

6.15 Delisting. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Law and rules and policies of NASDAQ to enable and facilitate the delisting of the Common Stock from NASDAQ by the Surviving Corporation as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time and deregistration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after such delisting. The Company shall not cause the Common Stock to be delisted from NASDAQ prior to the Effective Time.

6.16 Expenses. Whether or not the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, except (i) as Section 6.9 and Article 10 otherwise provide, (ii) withholding, transfer or other similar Taxes and/or (iii) as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties.

6.17 Rule 16b-3 Approval. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall each take such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to cause any disposition of shares of Common Stock, shares of Preferred Stock, Company Options or Company Warrants in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

6.18 Merger Sub and Surviving Corporation. Parent shall take all actions necessary to (a) cause Merger Sub, Secondary Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement, and (b) cause Merger Sub to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

6.19 No Control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to give Parent, Merger Sub or Secondary Merger Sub, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations.

6.20 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party hereto, at the reasonable request of another party hereto and at the expense of the party so requesting, shall execute and deliver such documents and take such actions as may be necessary or desirable for the purpose of facilitating the consummation of the Transactions.

6.21 Treatment as a Reorganization.

(a) Parent, the Company, Merger Sub and Secondary Merger Sub intend that the Merger and the Secondary Merger, considered together as a single integrated transaction for United States federal income Tax purposes along with the other transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement, shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and each shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to, use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger and the Secondary Merger to so qualify and shall file all Tax Returns consistent with, and take no position inconsistent with (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise), such treatment unless required to do so by applicable Law.

(b) Parent, the Company, Merger Sub and Secondary Merger Sub hereby adopt this Agreement as well as any other agreements entered into pursuant to this Agreement as a single plan of reorganization within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the Treasury Regulations.

(c) None of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub or Secondary Merger Sub shall, nor shall they permit their Subsidiaries to, take any action, and Parent, the Company, Merger Sub and Secondary Merger Sub shall not, and shall ensure that their Subsidiaries do not, fail to take any action which action or failure to act would prevent or impede, the Merger and the Secondary Merger, considered together as a single integrated transaction for United States federal income Tax purposes along with the other transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement, from qualifying (or reasonably would be expected to cause the Merger and the Secondary Merger, considered together as a single integrated transaction for United States federal income Tax purposes along with the other transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement, to fail to qualify) as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

6.22 KRN 5500. For a period of no less than nine months following the Closing, Parent shall allow the chief medical officer and the vice president of scientific and regulatory affairs of the Surviving Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue potential third party financing to continue the development of the Company’s KRN 5500 program. During this period, such parties may spend a reasonable amount of time on this effort, provided however, that in no event shall they spend more than one-third of their time on such effort, and Parent shall maintain the Company’s Intellectual Property related to this program consistent with past practices.

6.23 Secondary Merger.

(a) Immediately after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall merge with and into Secondary Merger Sub. From and after the effectiveness of the Secondary Merger, the separate corporate existence of the Surviving Corporation shall cease and Secondary Merger Sub shall continue as the surviving entity in the Secondary Merger (the “Surviving Company”) and all of the rights and obligations of the Surviving Corporation under this Agreement shall be deemed the rights and obligations of the Surviving Company. The Secondary Merger shall have the effects set forth in DGCL. Parent and Secondary Merger Sub shall take all reasonable steps and actions as shall be required to cause the Surviving Corporation and Secondary Merger Sub to consummate the Secondary Merger as set forth in this Section 6.23.

6.24 Employee Bonus Pool. Subject to and following the consummation of the Merger, Parent shall set aside an aggregate of $300,000 (the “Employee Bonus Pool”) to establish an employee bonus program to be offered to employees of the Company who become employees of Parent following the Closing. Parent will determine, in consultation with the Company, the structure of such employee bonus program and the allocation of the Employee Bonus Pool, provided that any payments made under the Employee Bonus Pool will be made at the same time, upon the same circumstances, and in a proportional amount, that any payments are made to Stockholders pursuant to the terms of the CVR Agreement, if any. All bonus payments made pursuant to this Section 6.24 shall be subject to the collection of all applicable federal and state income and employment withholding taxes.

6.25 Attorney Client Privilege. Recognizing that K&L Gates LLP has acted as legal counsel to the Company, its Subsidiaries, certain of the direct and indirect holders of shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock and certain of their respective Affiliates prior to date hereof, and that K&L Gates LLP intends to act as legal counsel to certain of the direct and indirect holders of shares of Common Stock and their respective Affiliates (which will no longer include the Company and its Subsidiaries) after the Closing, each of Parent, Merger Sub, Secondary Merger Sub and the Company hereby waives, on its behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company and each of their Subsidiaries to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with K&L Gates LLP representing the Stockholder Representative or any direct or indirect holders of the shares of Common Stock or their Affiliates after the Closing as such representation may relate to Parent, Merger Sub, Secondary Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company and each of their Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Accordingly, and notwithstanding anything in Section 259 of the DGCL or this Agreement to the contrary, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company and each of their Subsidiaries shall not have access to any such communications or to the files of K&L Gates LLP relating to such engagement from and after the Effective Time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, (a) the direct and indirect holders of shares of Common Stock and their respective Affiliates (and not the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company and each of their Subsidiaries) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and none of the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company or any of their Subsidiaries shall be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of K&L Gates LLP in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only the direct and indirect holders of shares of Common Stock and their respective Affiliates (and not the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company and each of their Subsidiaries) shall hold such property rights and (c) K&L Gates LLP shall have not duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or file to the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company or any of their Subsidiaries by reason of any attorney-client relationship between K&L Gates LLP and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise.

9.2 Break Fee; Expenses Payable to Parent.

(a) In consideration of the commitment of time and expense by Parent on its due diligence investigation of the Company and its business and of Parent agreeing to commit further time and expense to the preparation of the listing of Parent Depositary Shares, the Company shall pay to Parent the Break Fee in the event that this Agreement is terminated as follows:

SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS; INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties and Covenants and Agreements. All representations and warranties made by the Company herein shall survive the Effective Time and shall remain in full force and effect until the expiration of the CVR Payment Period. All covenants, obligations and agreements of the Company contained herein to be performed after the Effective Time shall remain in full force and effect until the expiration of the CVR Payment Period or for the period explicitly specified therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration date of the survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty and such claims shall survive until finally resolved. It is the express intent of the parties that, if the survival period as contemplated by this Section 10.1 is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations shall be reduced to the shortened survival period contemplated hereby. The parties further acknowledge that the time period set forth in this Section 10.1 for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arms’-length negotiation among the parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the parties.

10.2 Indemnification. From and after the Closing, and subject to the limitations in Section 10.7, the Stockholders (the “Indemnifying Party”), severally and not jointly, will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Parent and its officers, directors, and Affiliates (the “Indemnified Party” or, collectively the “Indemnified Parties”) against any Adverse Consequences (as defined below) which the Indemnified Party may suffer based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of a breach of:

(a) any misrepresentation or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the misrepresentation or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date); or

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Company prior to the Closing pursuant to this Agreement;

provided that the Indemnified Party makes a written claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 10.3 or 10.4 below, as applicable, during the period set forth in Section 10.1 above.

For purposes of this Article 10, any references to the Indemnifying Party (except provisions relating to an obligation to make or right to receive payments) shall be deemed to refer to the Stockholder Representative, acting on behalf of the Stockholders. For the avoidance of doubt, the Stockholder Representative, in its capacity as such, shall have no liability whatsoever for any claims made pursuant to this Article 10 and is only acting on behalf of the Stockholders.

10.3 Matters Involving Third Parties.

(a) If any third party notifies the Indemnified Party with respect to any matter (a “Third-Party Claim”) that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Article 10, then the Indemnified Party shall within 10 days notify the Stockholder Representative in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is thereby prejudiced.

(b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within 30 days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will defend against the Third-Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests or the reputation of the Indemnified Party, and (v) the Indemnifying Party defends against the Third-Party Claim in a reasonably diligent manner. The Stockholder Representative and Parent shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available records reasonably relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement by Parent of any actual out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 11.1(c) hereof) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 10.3(b) above, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to direct the defense, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld), and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld) unless the Indemnified Party receives a full release with respect to such Third-Party Claim, any monetary damages are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and the settlement, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party.

(d) In the event the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third-Party Claim, and (ii) the Indemnified Party may consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may offset any costs of defending against a Third-Party Claim (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses) as set forth in Section 10.8.

10.4 Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of Adverse Consequences which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Stockholder Representative reasonably prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially adversely prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist and reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party’s investigation, including, without limitation, by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records that the Indemnifying Party reasonably believes is necessary to assist them in evaluating and defending any such Direct Claim) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request; provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the operations of the business of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party may pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Sections 10.6 and 10.8 hereof).

10.5 Adverse Consequences. For purposes of this Article 10, “Adverse Consequences” means all damages, costs, obligations, liabilities, losses, expenses, and fees, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses; provided, however, that Adverse Consequences shall exclude punitive, incidental, consequential and special damages (except to the extent included in damages paid by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of any Third Party Claim). The Indemnified Party shall have the burden of proof in establishing the amount of Adverse Consequences suffered by it. For purposes of determining the amount of any Adverse Consequences, such amount shall be reduced by any amounts of any insurance proceeds received or receivable (unless the Indemnified Party’s right to such insurance proceeds is disputed, in which case such reduction shall occur, or amounts shall be refunded to the Indemnifying Party, when such proceeds are received) (collectively, “Insurance Benefits”). The Indemnified Party agrees to use its reasonable efforts to recover any Adverse Consequences from available insurance policies, and to reimburse the Indemnifying Party with respect to indemnification payments made by the Indemnifying Party which are subsequently recovered by the Indemnified Party from insurance. In calculating any Adverse Consequences there shall be deducted any indemnification, contribution or other similar payment actually recovered by the Indemnified Party from any third Person with respect thereto, net of any reasonable, out-of-pocket costs related to obtaining such payment.

10.6 No Other Indemnification Provisions. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.8 herein, the foregoing indemnification provisions are the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all claims an Indemnified Party hereto may have from and after the Closing Date with respect to a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant and agreement made by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, and the Indemnified Party will not have any other entitlement, remedy or recourse, whether in contract, tort or otherwise; it being agreed that all of such other remedies, entitlements and recourse are expressly waived and released by the parties to the fullest extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to any statutory, equitable or common law remedy in addition to the foregoing indemnification provisions for any and all claims for or based on willful material misconduct or intentional fraud by the Indemnifying Party.

10.7 Limitation on Indemnification; Mitigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 10, an Indemnifying Party (taken as a whole) shall not have any liability pursuant to Section 10.2 with respect to Adverse Consequences unless and until the aggregate amount of Adverse Consequences that would otherwise be payable exceeds $225,000 in the aggregate, whereupon the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for only such portion of the Adverse Consequences exceeding such amount. In no event shall an Indemnifying Party (taken as a whole) have liability pursuant to Section 10.2 in excess of the aggregate amount of unpaid payments otherwise payable by Parent pursuant to the CVR Agreement to the Stockholders from time to time. Each Person entitled to indemnification under this Article 10 shall be required to take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate such person’s damages.

10.8 Offset. Any Adverse Consequences payable to Parent pursuant to this Article 10 shall be satisfied solely by an offset against payments otherwise payable by Parent pursuant to the CVR Agreement to the Stockholders, severally and not jointly and on a pro-rata basis.

10.9 Reserved.

10.10 Materiality. For purposes of this Article 10, any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Company Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

ARTICLE 11.

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Stockholder Representative.

(a) By approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or by executing and delivering a letter of transmittal, without further act of any Stockholder, each Stockholder shall have irrevocably authorized and appointed Stockholder Representative as such Person’s representative, exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of such Person with respect to this Agreement and any agreement contemplated hereby or thereby and to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by Stockholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement or any agreement contemplated hereby or thereby, including the exercise of the power to (but in each case solely as the representative of the Stockholders):

(i) give and receive notices and communications;

(ii) take all actions necessary to authorize the offset of any payments payable by Parent pursuant to the CVR Agreement to the Stockholders in satisfaction of any amounts owed to Parent pursuant to Article 10;

(iii) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to claims for indemnification made by Parent pursuant to Article 10;

(iv) litigate, arbitrate, resolve, settle or compromise any claim for indemnification pursuant to Article 10;

(v) execute and deliver all documents necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of this Agreement or any agreement contemplated hereby or thereby;

(vi) make all elections or decisions contemplated by this Agreement or any agreement contemplated hereby or thereby;

(vii) engage, employ or appoint any agents or representatives (including attorneys, accountants and consultants) to assist the Stockholder Representative in complying with its duties and obligations; and

(viii) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the good faith judgment of Stockholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Stockholders, except as expressly provided herein, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Stockholder Representative in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the applicable Schedules. After the Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Stockholder Representative on all matters on behalf of the Stockholders relating to this Agreement (including Article 10) and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Stockholder by Stockholder Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Stockholder by Stockholder Representative, as being fully binding upon such Person. After the Effective Time, notices or communications to or from Stockholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Stockholders. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (ii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Stockholder or other party. Any decision or action by Stockholder Representative hereunder, including any agreement between Stockholder Representative and Parent relating to the defense, payment or settlement of any claims for indemnification hereunder, shall constitute a decision or action of all Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Person and such Stockholder’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Stockholder. No Stockholder shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same and each Stockholder waives any and all defenses which may be available to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Stockholder Representative taken under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section, including the power of attorney granted hereby, and the powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Stockholder Representative hereunder: (i) are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall not be terminated by any act of any one or more Stockholders or any other Person, or by operation of Law, whether by death, liquidation, bankruptcy, incompetence or other event, and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment, whether permitted or not, by any Stockholder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in CVRs.

(b) The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time. The Stockholder Representative may be removed for any reason or no reason by the vote or written consent of a majority in interest of the Stockholders (the “Majority Holders”); provided, however, in no event shall Stockholder Representative be removed without the Majority Holders having first appointed a new Stockholder Representative who shall assume such duties immediately upon the removal of Stockholder Representative. In the event of the death, incapacity, resignation, dissolution or removal of Stockholder Representative, a new Stockholder Representative shall be appointed by the vote or written consent of the Majority Holders. Notice of such vote or a copy of the written consent appointing such new Stockholder Representative shall be sent to Parent, such appointment to be effective upon the later of the date indicated in such consent or the date such notice is received by Parent; provided, that until such notice is received, Parent, Merger Sub, Secondary Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Company shall be entitled to rely on the decisions and actions of the prior Stockholder Representative as described in Section 11.1(a) above. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement.

(c) From time to time following the Effective Time, and for the purpose of funding any fees and expenses of the Stockholder Representative arising in connection with the administration of the Stockholder Representative’s duties under this Agreement or the CVR Agreement after the Effective Time, the Stockholder Representative shall, upon presentment to Parent of documented proof of such fees and expenses, be entitled to have such fees and expenses promptly reimbursed by Parent; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such fees and expenses shall not exceed $600,000 (such amount, and less any disbursements therefrom, the “Stockholder Representative Expense Fund”). The Stockholder Representative Expense Fund shall be offset against any amounts that may be payable pursuant to the terms of the CVR Agreement. In the event that the Stockholder Representative Expense Amount shall be insufficient to satisfy the expenses of the Stockholder Representative, and in the event there are any payments payable under the CVR Agreement, the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to recover any such expenses from Parent, which amount will be offset against any amounts payable under the CVR Agreement. Any balance of the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund not used for such purposes following the expiration of any rights pursuant to Article 10 herein shall be paid to the Stockholders in accordance with the terms of the CVR Agreement, if any payments are due. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Parent or Surviving Corporation be responsible for any expenses of the Stockholder Representative except from the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund.

(d) The Stockholder Representative (together with its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees) shall not be liable to Parent, the Stockholders or any other Person for actions taken or omitted in connection with this Agreement, the CVR Agreement or any other agreements contemplated hereby or thereby while acting in good faith, except to the extent such actions shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted gross negligence or involved fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel, accountants and other professionals and experts retained by Stockholder Representative shall be conclusive evidence of good faith). Parent and the Stockholders acknowledge that the Stockholder Representative shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or administration of its duties and shall be entitled to resign without any further obligation or responsibility in the event that insufficient funds are available to it to effectively perform its responsibilities and obligations hereunder and under the CVR Agreement and any other agreements contemplated hereby or thereby.

or to such other place and with such other copies as any party may designate as to itself by written notice to the others.

11.3 Counterparts; Facsimile and Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement or any counterpart may be executed and delivered by facsimile copies or delivered by electronic communications by portable document format (.pdf), each of which shall be deemed an original.

11.4 Schedules. All capitalized terms not defined in the applicable Schedules shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement. Each representation and warranty of a party in this Agreement is made and given, and the covenants are agreed to, subject to the disclosures and exceptions set forth on such party’s Schedule. The disclosure of any matter in any section of a party’s Schedule shall be deemed to be a disclosure by such party for all purposes of this Agreement and all other sections of such party’s Schedule to which such disclosure reasonably would be inferred. The listing of any matter on a party’s Schedule shall expressly not be deemed to constitute an admission by such party, or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material, is required to be disclosed by such party under this Agreement or falls within relevant minimum thresholds or materiality standards set forth in this Agreement. No disclosure in a party’s Schedule relating to any possible breach or violation by such party of any Contract or Law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. In no event shall the listing of any matter in a party’s Schedule be deemed or interpreted to expand the scope of such party’s representations, warranties and/or covenants set forth in this Agreement.

11.5 Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the CVR Agreement, the Voting Agreements, the Parent Schedule and the Company Schedule: (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; and (b) except (i) the third party beneficiaries contemplated by Section 6.9 and Article 10, (ii) the right of the Company, on behalf of its Stockholders, to pursue damages (including damages for the loss of economic benefits) on their behalf in the event of Parent’s, Merger Sub’s or Secondary Merger Sub’s breach of this Agreement, and (iii) from and after the Effective Time, the right of the holders of Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Warrants and Company Stock Options to receive the applicable consideration to be paid hereunder as set forth in Article 2, nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder.

11.6 Amendment. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and Secondary Merger Sub or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided, however, that after receipt of Company Stockholder Approval, if any such amendment or waiver shall by applicable Law or in accordance with the rules and regulations of NASDAQ or AIM require further approval of the Stockholders of the Company or the stockholders of Parent, the effectiveness of such amendment or waiver shall be subject to the approval of the Stockholders of the Company or the stockholders of Parent, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company or Parent in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right hereunder.

11.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by such provision or its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such provision as may be possible.

11.8 Remedies; Specific Performance

. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereto (on behalf of itself or third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, including the Company’s Stockholders) will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court having jurisdiction related to this Agreement as provided in Section 9.11 without the necessity of demonstrating damages or posting a bond, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Parent acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any Stockholder has made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the Company or any Company Subsidiary or as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Company or any Company Subsidiary furnished or made available to Parent and its representatives, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and neither the Company nor any Stockholder shall have or be subject to any liability to Parent or any other Person resulting from the distribution to Parent, or Parent’s use of or reliance on, any such information or any information, documents or material made available to Parent in any “data rooms,” “virtual data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated hereby.

11.9 Assignment. No party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

11.10 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction; provided, however, that any matter involving the internal corporate affairs of any party hereto shall be governed by the provisions of the jurisdictions of its incorporation.

11.11 Service of Process; Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF ANY PROCESS, PLEADING, NOTICES OR OTHER PAPERS BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED, CERTIFIED OR FIRST CLASS MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH PARTY AT SUCH PARTY’S ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN, OR BY ANY OTHER METHOD PROVIDED OR PERMITTED UNDER DELAWARE LAW. PARENT DESIGNATES AND APPOINTS SECONDARY MERGER SUB AND ITS REGISTERED AGENT IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND SUCH PERSON’S SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS AS ITS LAWFUL AGENT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA UPON WHICH MAY BE SERVED, AND WHICH MAY ACCEPT AND ACKNOWLEDGE, FOR AND ON BEHALF OF SUCH PARTY ALL PROCESS IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDINGS THAT MAY BE BROUGHT AGAINST SUCH PARTY IN ANY OF THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION 11.11, AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS, OR THE ACCEPTANCE OR ACKNOWLEDGMENT THEREOF BY SAID AGENT, SHALL BE VALID, EFFECTIVE AND BINDING IN EVERY RESPECT.

(b) CONSENT AND JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY (I) AGREES THAT ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR, IF SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OR WILL NOT ACCEPT JURISDICTION, ANY FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE; (II) CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING; (III) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT; AND (IV) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT BRING ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY COURT OTHER THAN THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR, IF SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OR WILL NOT ACCEPT JURISDICTION, ANY FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

11.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF PARENT, THE COMPANY, MERGER SUB AND SECONDARY MERGER SUB HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES FOR ITSELF, AND ITS RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHTS OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY CLAIM, SUIT, ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
