Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Merger with Medytox Solutions, Inc.
 
On April 15, 2015, CollabRx, Inc. (“CollabRx”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among CollabRx, CollabRx Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CollabRx (“Merger Sub”), and Medytox Solutions, Inc. (“Medytox”), pursuant to which it is contemplated that Merger Sub would merge with and into Medytox, with Medytox surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of CollabRx (the “Merger”).
 
In the Merger, (i) each share of Medytox Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive such number of shares of CollabRx Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement and described below), (ii) each share of Medytox Series B Preferred Stock will be converted into the right to receive one share of CollabRx Series B Preferred Stock, which will be designated prior to the closing of the Merger, (iii) each share of Medytox Series D Preferred Stock will be converted into the right to receive one share of CollabRx Series D Preferred Stock, which will be designated prior to the closing of the Merger, (iv) each share of Medytox Series E Preferred Stock will be converted into the right to receive one share of CollabRx Series E Preferred Stock, which will be designated prior to the closing of the Merger, (v) each option and warrant to purchase shares of CollabRx Common Stock will continue in existence pursuant to its terms, (vi) each restricted stock unit for CollabRx Common Stock will settle prior to the closing of the Merger in accordance with its terms, and (vii) Medytox’s equity incentive plan will be assumed by CollabRx and each outstanding option to purchase shares of Medytox Common Stock will be assumed by CollabRx and converted into an option to purchase shares of CollabRx Common Stock (with proportional adjustment to the number of shares underlying the option and the exercise price, each in accordance with the Exchange Ratio).  The Exchange Ratio will be calculated such that holders of CollabRx equity prior to the closing of the Merger (including all outstanding CollabRx Common Stock and all restricted stock units, options and warrants exercisable for shares of CollabRx Common Stock) will hold 10% of CollabRx’s Common Stock following the closing of the Merger, and holders of Medytox equity prior to the closing of the Merger (including all outstanding Medytox Common Stock and all outstanding options exercisable for shares of Medytox Common Stock, but less certain options that will be cancelled contingent upon the closing pursuant to agreements between Medytox and such optionees) will hold 90% of CollabRx’s Common Stock following the closing of the Merger, in each case on a fully diluted basis, provided, however, outstanding shares of the newly designated CollabRx Series B Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock, certain outstanding convertible promissory notes exercisable for CollabRx Common Stock after the closing and certain option grants expected to be made at or immediately following the closing of the Merger are excluded from such ownership percentages.
 
The Merger Agreement includes representations and warranties of the parties and covenants regarding the operation of the business of CollabRx  prior to closing.  The closing of the Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement, and all of the transactions contemplated therein (including without limitation a reverse split of CollabRx’s Common Stock, an increase in the number of authorized shares of CollabRx Common Stock, an increase in the number of shares available for issuance under CollabRx’s 2007 Incentive Award Plan, and the filing of Certificates of Designation for new Series B, D and E Preferred Stock) by the stockholders of CollabRx and the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement, and all of the transactions contemplated therein, by the stockholders of Medytox, (ii) the approval for listing on NASDAQ of the shares of CollabRx being issued as consideration in the Merger, (iii) the creation of a new wholly owned subsidiary of CollabRx and the contribution of all of CollabRx’s assets thereto, (iv) the absence of laws or orders prohibiting the Merger, and (v) the receipt of all required consents.  The obligation of each party to consummate the Merger is also conditioned upon the other party’s representations and warranties being true and correct (subject to certain materiality exceptions), the other party having performed in all material respects its obligations under the Merger Agreement and the other party having not suffered a material adverse effect.
 
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both CollabRx and Medytox, and provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, either party may be required to pay the other party a termination fee in an amount equal to $1,000,000.
 
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is hereby incorporated into this report by reference.
 
Voting and Support Agreements
 
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Thomas R. Mika and Medytox entered into a Parent Voting and Support Agreement dated as of April 15, 2015, whereby Mr. Mika, in his capacity as a stockholder of CollabRx, agreed to vote (i) in favor of the Merger and all of the other transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement, including the designations of the new Series B Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock, the election to the board of directors of CollabRx of the individuals named in the Merger Agreement, and any other proposals in furtherance of the terms of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) against any takeover proposals or any other proposals in opposition of the Merger.  Mr. Mika also granted an irrevocable proxy to Medytox or its designees to vote his shares for the foregoing purposes.  Such agreement contains certain restrictions on the transferability of Mr. Mika’s shares prior to the closing of the Merger and certain customary representations and warranties.
 

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, CollabRx and certain Medytox shareholders executed a Company Voting and Support Agreement dated as of April 15, 2015, whereby such stockholders agreed to vote (i) in favor of the Merger and all of the other transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement and any other proposals in furtherance of the terms of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) against any takeover proposals or any other proposals in opposition of the Merger.  Such stockholders also granted an irrevocable proxy to CollabRx or its designees to vote their respective shares for the foregoing purposes.  Such agreement contains certain restrictions on the transferability of such stockholders’ shares prior to the closing of the Merger and certain customary representations and warranties..  Such Medytox shareholders hold, in the aggregate, a majority of the outstanding shares of Medytox common stock as well as all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock of Medytox (the “Major Medytox Stockholders”).
 
The foregoing descriptions of the Parent Voting and Support Agreement and the Company Voting and Support Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Parent Voting and Support Agreement and the form of Company Voting and Support Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and are hereby incorporated into this report by reference.
 
Stockholders Agreement
 
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, CollabRx, Thomas R. Mika and the Major Medytox Stockholders also entered into a Stockholders Agreement dated as of April 15, 2015, whereby the parties agreed to take all necessary actions to (i) set the size of the board of directors of CollabRx at seven (7) members as of the effective time of the Merger, and (ii) elect to the CollabRx board two (2) directors designated by Mr. Mika, until the earliest to occur of (A) the date when Mr. Mika’s equity holdings in CollabRx fall below the Minimum Equity Percentage (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement), (B) the first anniversary of the date of the agreement, and (C) the date of termination of Mr. Mika’s employment with CollabRx or a subsidiary thereof.  The agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and certain procedural and information rights related to the foregoing obligation to vote.
 
The foregoing description of the Shareholders Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Shareholders Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 hereto and is hereby incorporated into this report by reference.

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On March 17, 2015, prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, CollabRx’s board of directors approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Shareholder Rights Agreement between CollabRx (f/k/a Tegal Corporation) and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (as successor rights agent to Registrar and Transfer Company) (“Rights Agent”), dated as of April 13, 2011 (the “Rights Agreement”). The ammendment was executed and delivered by the parties thereto as of April 15, 2015.

The Amendment, among other things, renders the Rights Agreement inapplicable to the Merger Agreement and the transactions and other agreements contemplated thereunder.  The Amendment provides that the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and the agreements referenced therein and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will not result in Medytox or its affiliates being deemed an “Acquiring Person” under the Rights Agreement.  In addition, the Amendment provides that none of a “Stock Acquisition Date,” a “Distribution Date,” a “Section 11(a)(ii) Event” or a “Section 13 Event” (each as defined in the Rights Agreement) will occur by reason of the approval or execution of the Merger Agreement and the agreements referenced therein or the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is hereby incorporated into this report by reference.
 

Item 5.02. Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On April 13, 2015, CollabRx’s Compensation Committee approved a $150,000 cash bonus to be paid to Thomas R. Mika, President, Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer of CollabRx, upon the execution of the Merger Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of Mr. Mika and Clifford Baron, Chief Operating Officer of CollabRx, executed agreements, dated as of April 15, 2015, (“Agreements re Employment Termination”), acknowledging and agreeing that (i) the Merger shall not constitute a change of control under their respective employment agreements with CollabRx, (ii) their respective employment agreements with CollabRx shall automatically terminate upon the execution and delivery of a new employment agreement (the “New Employment Agreements”) immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, and no severance or acceleration of vesting shall be granted in connection with such termination, and (iii) Messrs. Mika and Baron shall automatically resign as officers of CollabRx upon execution and delivery of the New Employment Agreements.
 
Mr. Mika’s New Employment Agreement provides for a one (1) year initial term, with automatic one (1) year renewals thereafter unless written notice is provided otherwise.  Pursuant to the New Employment Agreement, Mr. Mika shall become, upon the closing of the Merger, Chairman of the Board of CollabRx and President and Chief Executive Officer of “New Sub” (as defined in the Merger Agreement).  Mr. Mika’s New Employment Agreement further provides for a base salary of $310,000, and severance, upon termination by CollabRx without cause or by Mr. Mika for good reason, consisting of (i) two times base salary plus $266,667 plus 24 months of COBRA premiums, if the termination occurs within the first year of employment, or (ii) one times base salary plus 12 months of COBRA premiums, if the termination occurs after the first year of employment.
 
Mr. Baron’s New Employment Agreement provides for a two (2) year initial term, with automatic one (1) year renewals thereafter unless written notice is provided otherwise.  Pursuant to the New Employment Agreement, Mr. Baron shall become, upon the closing of the Merger, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of “New Sub” (as defined in the Merger Agreement).  Mr. Baron’s New Employment Agreement further provides for (i) a base salary of $200,000, and (ii) severance, upon termination by CollabRx without cause or by Mr. Baron for good reason, consisting of one half (1/2) times base salary plus six (6) months of COBRA premiums plus 12 months’ of acceleration of vesting, if the termination occurs within the first year of employment, or 24 months’ of acceleration of vesting, if the termination occurs after the first year of employment.  If the termination by CollabRx without cause or by Mr. Baron for good reason occurs within three (3) months before or 12 months after a “change of control” event, the severance payable to Mr. Baron shall instead equal one (1) times base salary plus 12 months of COBRA premiums.

The foregoing descriptions of the Agreements re Employment Termination and New Employment Agreements do not purport to be complete and is qualified in their entirety by reference to the Agreements re Employment Termination and New Employment Agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.4 through 10.7 hereto and are hereby incorporated into this report by reference.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company, Parent and CollabRx Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“ Merger Sub ”), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”), which provides, among other things, for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “ Merger ”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholder is the record and/or beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the number of shares, class and series of Company Capital Stock set forth across from such Stockholder’s name on Schedule A attached hereto and has the voting and dispositive power in connection with the Merger with respect to such shares (“ Existing Shares ” and, together with any shares of Company Capital Stock acquired after the date hereof, whether upon the exercise of options, conversion of convertible securities or otherwise, the Stockholder’s “ Shares ”); and

WHEREAS, as an inducement and a condition to entering into the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that the Stockholder agrees, and the Stockholder has agreed, to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, to implement the foregoing and in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1.                       Agreement to Vote; Irrevocable Proxy; Etc .

(a)                   Agreement to Vote .  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, from and after the date hereof and until the Termination Date, at any meeting of the holders of Company Capital Stock, however called, or in connection with any written consent of the holders of Company Capital Stock, such Stockholder shall (i) appear at such meeting or otherwise cause all of such Stockholder’s Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and respond to any other request by the Company or Parent for written consent, if any, and (ii) vote (or cause to be voted) such Stockholder’s Shares or grant consent, as applicable (x) in favor of (A) approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (B) any other matter that is required to facilitate the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including without limitation any adjournment or postponement of such meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of such meeting to approve the adoption of the Merger, and (y) against (1) any Company Takeover Proposal, (2) any proposal made in opposition to or in competition with the Merger, or which would result in a breach of the Merger Agreement, or (3) any other action involving the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company that would reasonably be expected to have the effect of impeding, materially interfering with, materially delaying, materially postponing, or otherwise impairing the ability of the Company to consummate the Merger.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Stockholder shall not enter into any agreement or understanding with any Person prior to the termination of this Agreement to vote in any manner inconsistent herewith.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the obligations of the Stockholder specified in this Section 1(a) shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Company Takeover Proposal prior to the Termination Date.
 
1

(b)                   Irrevocable Proxy .  The Stockholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies and powers of attorney granted with respect to such Stockholder’s Shares, and the Stockholder shall not grant any subsequent proxy or power of attorney with respect to such Stockholder’s Shares, except as set forth in this Agreement or required by a Letter of Transmittal.  By entering into this Agreement, subject to the last sentence of this Section 1(b) , the Stockholder hereby grants, or agrees to cause the applicable record holder to grant, a proxy appointing Parent, any designee of Parent and each of Parent’s officers, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, as such Stockholder’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, for and in such Stockholder’s name, to be counted as present and vote and express consent or dissent with respect to such Stockholder’s Shares for the purposes set forth in Section 1(a) .  The proxy granted by the Stockholder pursuant to this Section 1(b) is, subject to the last sentence of this Section 1(b) , irrevocable and is coupled with an interest, in accordance with Section 78.355 of the NRS, and is granted in order to secure such Stockholder’s performance under this Agreement and also in consideration of Parent entering into this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.  If Stockholder fails for any reason to be counted as present, consent or vote such Stockholder’s Shares in accordance with the requirements of Section 1(a) , then Parent shall have the right to cause to be present, consent or vote such Stockholder’s Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(a) .  The proxy granted by the Stockholder shall be automatically revoked upon the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5 .

(c)                    Stockholder Restrictions .  From the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date and except as otherwise contemplated in the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder shall not (i) sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, or limitation on the voting rights of, any of such Stockholder’s Shares (any such action, a “ Transfer ”); provided that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the exercise by the Stockholder of any options to purchase Shares, (ii) deposit any of such Stockholder’s Shares into a voting trust or enter into a separate voting agreement with respect to such Stockholder’s Shares, (iii) take any action, either directly or indirectly, that would cause any representation or warranty of such Stockholder contained herein to become untrue or incorrect, in each case, in any material respect, or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing or disabling such Stockholder from performing its, his or her obligations under this Agreement or (iv) commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions.  Any action taken in violation of the foregoing sentence shall be null and void ab initio.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder may make Transfers of Shares by will, for estate or tax planning purposes, for charitable purposes or as charitable gifts or donations; provided, that, as a condition to any such Transfer, each transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement applicable to such Stockholder and to hold such Shares subject to all the terms and provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as such terms and provisions bound such Stockholder.  If any involuntary Transfer of any of the Shares shall occur, the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include the initial transferee and any and all subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date.

(d)                   Additional Shares .  The Stockholder hereby agrees, during the term of this Agreement, to promptly notify Parent of any new Shares acquired by such Stockholder, if any, after the execution of this Agreement.  Any such Shares shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement as though owned by such Stockholder on the date of this Agreement.  In the event of a stock split, stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the Company Capital Stock by reason of any split-up, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, reincorporation, exchange of shares or the like, the terms “Existing Shares” and “Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of such shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.

(e)                   Ownership Interest .  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Parent, any of the Persons identified in Section 1(b) or any other Person any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to, or pecuniary interest in, any of the Shares.  All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to, and pecuniary interest in, the Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the Stockholder, and neither Parent, the Persons identified in Section 1(b) nor any other Person shall have any power or authority to direct the Stockholder in the voting or disposition of any of the Shares, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

3

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
 

ARTICLE I
GOVERNANCE
 
1.1            Size of the Board of Directors at the Closing .  On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company’s board of directors (the “ Board ”) shall take all action necessary and appropriate (including by amending the bylaws of the Company, if necessary) to cause the number of directors on the Board to consist of seven (7) members as of the Closing Date.
 
1.2             Continuing Composition of the Board of Directors .
 
(a)              Following the Closing, subject to the other provisions of this Section 1.2 and Section 1.3 , at each annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which directors are to be elected to the Board, the Company will nominate and use its commercially reasonable efforts (which shall, subject to Applicable Law, include the inclusion, in any proxy statement prepared, used, delivered or publicly filed by the Company to solicit the vote of its stockholders in connection with any such meeting, the recommendation of the Board that stockholders of the Company vote in favor of the slate of directors, including the Continuing Stockholder Designees) to cause the stockholders of the Company to elect to the Board a slate of directors which includes, prior to a Continuing Stockholder Rights Termination Event, the Continuing Stockholder Designees.
 
(b)              Upon reasonable prior written notice by the Company, the Continuing Stockholder shall notify the Company of the identity of the proposed Continuing Stockholder Designees in writing, by the time such information is reasonably requested by the Board or the Corporate Governance Committee for inclusion in a proxy statement for a meeting of stockholders of the Company (which time shall be concurrent with the request for such information from and otherwise consistent with the request for such information from the other nominees), together with all information about the proposed Continuing Stockholder Designees as shall be reasonably requested by the Board or the Corporate Governance Committee and of the type of information requested by the Board or the Corporate Governance Committee of any other person nominated for election to the Board (including, at a minimum, any information regarding the proposed Continuing Stockholder Designees to the extent required by applicable securities laws or for any other person nominated for election to the Board).
 
(c)              Subject to Section 1.2(b) and Section 1.3 , so long as no Continuing Stockholder Rights Termination Event has occurred, in the event of the death, disability, removal or resignation of any Continuing Stockholder Director, the Board will promptly appoint as a replacement Continuing Stockholder Director, a new Continuing Stockholder Designee designated by the Continuing Stockholder to fill the resulting vacancy, and such individual(s) shall then be deemed a Continuing Stockholder Director for all purposes hereunder; provided , that, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without limiting the rights of the Continuing Stockholder under this Section 1.2 with respect to subsequent annual or special meetings of the stockholders of the Company at which directors are to be elected to the Board, neither the Company nor the Board shall be under any obligation to appoint any Continuing Stockholder Designee to the Board in the event of the failure of a Continuing Stockholder Designee to be elected to the Board at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which such Continuing Stockholder Designees stood for election but was nevertheless not elected.  So long as no Continuing Stockholder Rights Termination Event has occurred, the Board shall not seek the removal of any Continuing Stockholder Director without the prior written consent of the Continuing Stockholder, unless such Continuing Stockholder Director is no longer eligible for designation as a member of the Board pursuant to Section 1.3 ; in which case the Board shall appoint as a replacement Continuing Stockholder Director a new Continuing Stockholder Designee designated by the Continuing Stockholder.
 
2

(d)             The Company will at all times provide each Continuing Stockholder Director (in his or her capacity as a member of the Board) with the same rights to indemnification and exculpation that it provides to the other members of the Board (in either case, if any).
 
1.3            Objection to Continuing Stockholder Designees .
 
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article I , the Continuing Stockholder will not be entitled to designate any Continuing Stockholder Designees to the Board pursuant to this Article I in the event that the Board reasonably determines that (a) the election of such Continuing Stockholder Designee to the Board would cause the Company to not be in compliance with Applicable Law or (b) such Continuing Stockholder Designee has been involved in any of the events enumerated in Item 2(d) or (e) of Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act or Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act or is subject to any order, decree or judgment of any Governmental Authority prohibiting service as a director of any public company or (c) such Continuing Stockholder Designee is not reasonably acceptable to the Board or Corporate Governance Committee.  In any such case described in clause (a), (b) or (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Continuing Stockholder will withdraw the designation of such proposed Continuing Stockholder Designee and, so long as no Continuing Stockholder Rights Termination Event has occurred, be permitted to designate a replacement(s) therefor (which replacement Continuing Stockholder Designee will also be subject to the requirements of this Section 1.3 ).
 
1.4            No Adverse Action; Voting Agreement .
 
(a)              Until the occurrence of any Continuing Stockholder Rights Termination Event, without the prior written consent of the Continuing Stockholder, except as required by Applicable Law, the Company shall not take any action to cause the amendment of its charter or bylaws or corporate governance policies such that any of the Continuing Stockholder’s rights under this Article I would not be given full effect; provided , that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not prohibit any increase or decrease in the size of the Board to the extent such increase or decrease does not affect the Continuing Stockholder’s rights to designate the Continuing Stockholder Designees to the Board.
 
3

(b)              Until the Continuing Stockholder either no longer has any rights under this Article I to designate any Continuing Stockholder Designees to serve on the Board or has irrevocably waived any such rights, each New Stockholder agrees to cause each Voting Security Beneficially Owned by it to be voted in person or by proxy (returned sufficiently in advance of the deadline for proxy voting for the Company to have the reasonable opportunity to verify receipt) mailed to the stockholders of the Company in connection with the solicitation of any proxy (including, if applicable, through the execution of one or more written consents if stockholders of the Company are requested to vote through the execution of an action by written consent in lieu of any such annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company) in favor of the Continuing Stockholder Designees nominated to serve as directors of the Company by the Board or the Corporate Governance Committee.  Subject to Sections 1.5 and 4.1 , for as long as Voting Securities are Beneficially Owned by any New Stockholder's Controlled Affiliates or (in the case of any New Stockholder that is an individual) Immediate Family Members, such New Stockholder shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Controlled Affiliate or (if applicable) Immediate Family Member to vote such Voting Securities (in person or by proxy) in the same manner as such New Stockholder would have been required to vote such same shares under this Section 1.4 .  For avoidance of doubt, none of the terms of this Agreement shall restrict or otherwise limit the right of any New Stockholder to Transfer any shares of Voting Securities or other capital stock of the Company or any interest therein, in all events free and clear of any and all obligations or other requirements under this Agreement (except in the cases of Transfers to Controlled Affiliates or (in the case of any New Stockholder that is an individual) Immediate Family Members to the extent provided under this Section 1.4 ).
 
1.5          Termination of Rights .  Immediately upon the occurrence of any Continuing Stockholder Rights Termination Event, all obligations of the Company and each New Stockholder with respect to the Continuing Stockholder and any Continuing Stockholder Director or Continuing Stockholder Designees pursuant to this Article I shall forever terminate and, unless otherwise consented to by a majority of the members of the Board (excluding the Continuing Stockholder Directors), the Continuing Stockholder shall cause the Continuing Stockholder Directors to immediately resign from the Board.

Exhibit 10.4
 
AGREEMENT
 
AGREEMENT, dated as of April 15, 2015 (this "Agreement"), among CollabRx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), Thomas R. Mika (the "Employee"), and Medytox Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Medytox").
 
WHEREAS , the Company and the Employee are parties to an Employment Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2013 (the "Employment Agreement");
 
WHEREAS , the Company, CollabRx Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Merger Sub"), and Medytox are parties to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 15, 2015, as it may be amended in accordance with its terms (the "Merger Agreement");
 
WHEREAS , the Merger Agreement provides, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, for the merger (the "Merger") of Merger Sub with and into Medytox, with Medytox being the surviving corporation;
 
WHEREAS , the Merger Agreement further provides that, prior to the effectiveness of the Merger, the Company shall form a Delaware subsidiary ("New Sub") and that the Company shall thereupon effect the Asset Contribution (as defined in the Merger Agreement);
 
WHEREAS , the parties contemplate that immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Merger, the Employee and the Company shall terminate the Employment Agreement and the Employee, the Company and New Sub shall enter into a new employment agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the "New Employment Agreement'); and
 
WHEREAS , the termination of the Employment Agreement and the entering into of the New Employment Agreement are conditions to the consummation of the Merger.
 
NOW, THEREFORE , for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 

1.              Employment Agreement .  The parties hereto agree that none of the Merger Agreement, the consummation of the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement shall constitute a Change of Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or constitute or give rise to Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement) for the Employee to resign from or otherwise terminate his employment relationship with the Company prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement).  Concurrently with the execution and effectiveness of the New Employment Agreement, which shall occur concurrently with and contingent upon the Effective Time of the Merger, the Employment Agreement shall automatically terminate and the Employee’s resignation from all of his officer positions with the Company shall automatically become effective.  For purposes of the Employment Agreement, the termination shall be treated as a termination by the Employee without Good Reason pursuant to Section 8(f) of the Employment Agreement.  The parties agree that there shall be no acceleration of vesting with respect to any equity awards in connection with the Merger to the extent that such acceleration of vesting would result in the Employee being subject to an excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (as defined in the Merger Agreement).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in the event the Merger is not consummated pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
 
2.              Representations and Warranties .  Each party represents and warrants to the other parties that (i) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such party and (ii) this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
 
Signature Page to the Agreement re Employment Agreement Termination

3.              Further Assurances .  From time to time, at any other party's request and without further consideration, each party hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
4.              Termination .  This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) a valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms or (b) a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change or a Company Adverse Recommendation Change (as such terms are defined in the Merger Agreement).  Nothing in this Section 4 shall relieve any party of liability for breach of this Agreement prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms.
 
5.              Amendment and Modification; No Waiver .  This Agreement may be amended, modified and supplemented in any aspect only by a written agreement executed and delivered by all parties hereto.  No provision of this Agreement may be waived, discharged or terminated other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which or whom the enforcement of such waiver, discharge or termination is sought except for a termination as provided in Section 4.  The failure of any party to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement, or to insist upon compliance by any other party with its obligations under this Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver of such party's right to exercise any such right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.
 
6.              Counterparts .  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transaction or by email of a pdf attachment shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
 
Signature Page to the Agreement re Employment Agreement Termination

7.              Specific Performance .
 
(a)              The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of the terms hereof, without the requirement of posting or furnishing any bond or similar instrument, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.
 
(b)              All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any thereof by any party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by such party.
 
8.              Governing Law .  This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.  Each of Section of 9.9 and Section 9.11 of the Merger Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein and shall be binding on the parties hereto and that references to "this Agreement" contained therein shall apply to this Agreement.

Exhibit F
 
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
 
This Employment Agreement (this "Agreement"), dated as of _____________, 2015, is entered into among [New Sub], a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), [ _____________ ] (f/k/a CollabRx, Inc.), a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and Thomas R. Mika ("Employee").
 
WHEREAS , Employee is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company;
 
WHEREAS , the Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent; and
 
WHEREAS , the Company desires to employ and retain the services of Employee, and Employee wishes to be employed by the Company, on the terms set forth in this Agreement;
 
NOW,   THEREFORE , in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement, the undersigned agree as follows:
 
1.              Term of Employment . Subject to the termination provisions hereinafter set forth, the Company will employ Employee, and Employee accepts employment with the Company, for a period of one year from the date of this Agreement (the "Initial Term"). The Initial Term shall be automatically renewed for successive one year periods ("Successive Terms") unless either party gives ninety (90) calendar days written notice of nonrenewal prior to the expiration of the then-current term (the Initial Term and any Successive Term are jointly referred to herein as the "Term").  Notwithstanding the above, or anything else provided herein, Employee shall be an at-will employee, serving at the pleasure and direction of the Board of Directors (as defined below). Accordingly, either party may terminate the employment relationship at any time for any reason, subject, however, to the notice and any payment requirements set forth herein.
 
2.              Duties . During the Term, Employee will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, reporting to the Parent’s Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors"). Employee will discharge such duties and responsibilities as are customary for such position or are prescribed from time to time by Parent.  Employee will devote his full time and attention to the affairs of the Company and will not enter the employ of or serve as a consultant to, or in any way perform any services for, with or without compensation, any other person, business or organization without the prior approval of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the Company and Parent acknowledge and agree to Employee’s continued service as a member of the board of directors of NanoVibronix Inc.  In no event may any such service be inconsistent with, or prevent Employee from carrying out, his duties under this Agreement, as determined at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. During the Term, Employee shall serve as a member and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and Parent, subject to the conditions and requirements set forth in the Company's bylaws and the Parent’s bylaw, as applicable.
 
3.              Maintaining Confidential Information/Property Rights . Employee agrees to sign and abide by all Company and Parent policies regarding confidential information and ethics including, but not limited to the Confidential & Proprietary Information and Intellectual Property/Property Rights policy, as attached hereto as Exhibit A.
 

4.              Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation . During the Term, and for one (1) year following the termination of Employee's employment with the Company for any reason, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly:
 
(a)              own, manage, operate, advise, consult, join, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, be employed by, perform services for, or be connected in any manner with, any enterprise which is engaged in utilizing an expert-based content aggregate strategy to create and distribute (through web-based or mobile applications or other means) high-value information (including, without limitation, information relating to diagnostic tests, clinical trials, drugs, and other therapies that may be correlated to genetic profiles, individually or by population) to patients, physicians and researchers for the purpose of assisting decision-making or planning therapies to treat diseases in the United States, Europe and Asia; provided , however, that such restriction shall not apply to Employee's ownership of any passive investment representing an interest of less than five percent (5%) of an outstanding class of publicly traded securities; or
 
(b)              recruit, encourage or solicit any person who is an employee or contractor of the Company or any entity affiliated with the Company (each, an "Affiliated Entity") to leave the Company's or Affiliated Entity's employ or service for any reason, or interfere in any material manner with employment or service relationships at the time existing between the Company or Affiliated Entity and the subject employee or contractor (except as may be required in any bona fide termination decision during the Term regarding any Company or Affiliated Entity employee) in order to induce such employee or contractor of the Company or any Affiliated Entity to accept other employment or a consulting agreement with any other person or entity.
 
Employee acknowledges that the services that he shall provide to the Company under this Agreement are unique and that irreparable harm shall be suffered by the Company in the event of the breach by Employee of any of his obligations under this Section 4, and that the Company shall be entitled, in addition to its other rights and remedies, whether legal or equitable, to enforce such obligations by an injunction or decree of specific performance. If any restriction set forth in this non-competition section is found by a court to be unreasonable, then Employee agrees, and hereby submits, to the reduction and limitation of such prohibition to such area or period as shall be deemed reasonable by such court. In addition, if Employee breaches this Section 4 at any time after the Term, the Company's obligation to continue to make payments to Employee pursuant to Sections 8(a) or (b) shall cease immediately.
 
5.              Salary and Incentives .
 
(a)              Salary . During the Term, the Company will pay Employee an annual salary of $310,000 (the "Base Salary"), subject to applicable tax withholding and payable in accordance with the Company's normal payroll practices; provided that Employee's Base Salary may be reduced to the extent that Employee elects to defer any portion thereof under the terms of any deferred compensation or savings plan maintained by the Company. During the Term, the Board of Directors shall review Employee's Base Salary on an annual basis and, in its discretion, may award merit increases of Employee's Base Salary in accordance with Parent policy. Employee's Base Salary may also be reduced during the Term, provided that such reduction must be consistent with across-the-board salary reductions made with respect to similarly situated employees of the Company, Parent and any other controlled subsidiaries of Parent.
 
2

(b)              Incentive Payments . Employee will be eligible to receive incentive bonus payments from time to time in accordance with any incentive bonus program of the Company or Parent that may then be in effect and will be eligible to receive an annual cash incentive bonus under any such program upon the achievement of targets and other objectives for each fiscal year as may be approved annually on behalf of the Company by the Board of Directors (the "Annual Bonus"). Such a program will be administered on the Company's fiscal year basis.  In the event that an incentive payment is earned by Employee under such a program for any fiscal year, such payment shall be made to Employee in a lump sum all-cash amount within sixty (60) days following the date the Company determines the amount (if any) of the Annual Bonus, provided that Employee has remained continuously employed in the Company's service through the date the Company determines the amount of the Annual Bonus.
 
(c)              Expenses . The Company will reimburse Employee for all reasonable travel, entertainment and miscellaneous expenses actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement, provided that Employee's expenses are in accordance with the Company's current practices and that Employee properly accounts for such expenses. Any amounts payable under this Section 5(c) shall be made in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) and shall be paid on or before the last day of Employee's taxable year following the taxable year in which Employee incurred the expenses. The amounts provided under this Section 5(c) during any taxable year of Employee's will not affect such amounts provided in any other taxable year of Employee's, and Employee's right to reimbursement for such amounts shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.
 
6.              Benefits . Employee will be entitled during the Term to participate in any vacation, health, pension, insurance or other benefit plan that is maintained by the Company or Parent for its (or its subsidiaries’) employees and/or executives to the extent and in the manner prescribed by the applicable plan documents.
 
7.              Long-term Incentives . Employee will be eligible to receive annual long-term equity incentive awards from time to time in accordance with the terms and conditions of long-term equity incentive compensation plans and programs as in effect from time to time as approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall have discretion to determine both the target levels and the actual grants made, and shall have discretion to change from an annual grant program to a multi-year grant program. Any long-term incentive grants shall be subject to the terms and conditions, including any vesting conditions, as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.
 
3

8.              Termination .
 
(a)             Termination by the Company Without Cause . The Company may terminate Employee's employment under this Agreement without Cause at any time with ninety (90) calendar days’ prior written notice.  However, in the event of Employee's Separation from Service (as defined in Section 9(a) below) as a result of Employee's termination by the Company without Cause at any time during the Term, then, subject to the provisions of Section 9 below, the Company agrees that it will provide Employee with all accrued compensation, wages and benefits through the effective date of termination and pay and/or provide to Employee the following:
 
(i)           (A) if such termination occurs during the Initial Term, an amount equal to two (2) times Employee's then-prevailing Base Salary, and (B) if such termination occurs after the Initial Term, an amount equal to one (1) times Employee’s then-prevailing Base Salary; plus
 
(ii)           if such termination occurs during the Initial Term, $266,667; plus
 
(iii)       (A) if such termination occurs during the Initial Term, twenty-four months of COBRA premiums for Employee, and (B) if such termination occurs after the Initial Term, twelve (12) months of COBRA premiums for Employee, in each case paid for by the Company or Parent (with any such payments to be treated as taxable compensation to the extent necessary to comply with Section 105(h) of the Internal Revenue Code) pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act ("COBRA"), provided that Employee is eligible for COBRA benefits and timely completes all documentation necessary to receive COBRA benefits; plus
 
(iv)         if Employee holds any outstanding long-term incentive awards (including, without limitation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, phantom shares, restricted stock or similar awards with respect to the securities of Parent) that are not fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable with respect to all the shares subject thereto effective immediately prior to the date of termination, then Parent shall cause all such outstanding and unvested long-term incentive awards to become fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable effective immediately prior to the date of termination, and Employee shall have one hundred and twenty (120) days to exercise any stock options that vest pursuant to this Section. In all other respects, such awards will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the plans, if any, under which they were granted and any applicable agreements between Parent and Employee.
 
The amounts described in paragraphs (i) and (ii) shall be paid in two equal lump sum installments, subject to applicable tax withholding, with the first installment to be made within sixty (60) days following the date of Employee's Separation from Service and the second installment to be made on the first anniversary of Employee's Separation from Service.  For purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), Employee's right to receive the foregoing installment payments shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no amount shall be paid pursuant to this Section 8(a) unless, on or prior to the fifty-fifth (55th) day following the date of Employee's Separation from Service, Employee has executed an effective waiver and release of claims agreement (the "Release") in form and substance acceptable to the Company and any applicable revocation period has expired.

(b)             Termination by Employee for Good Reason .  Employee may voluntarily elect to resign his employment with the Company prior to the end of the Initial Term or any Successive Term for Good Reason (as hereinafter defined).  In the event of Employee's Separation from Service for Good Reason at any time during the Initial Term or any Successive Term, then, subject to the provisions of Section 9 below, Employee shall be entitled to receive the payments or benefits set forth in Section 8(a) as if such Separation from Service was as a result of Employee's termination by the Company without Cause during the Initial Term or thereafter (as applicable). "Good Reason" shall mean any of the following that are undertaken without Employee's express written consent: (i) the assignment to Employee of principal duties or responsibilities, or the substantial reduction of Employee's duties and responsibilities, either of which is materially inconsistent with Employee's position as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company; (ii) a material reduction by the Company in Employee's annual Base Salary, except to the extent the salaries of other executive employees of the Company, Parent and any other controlled subsidiary of Parent are similarly reduced; (iii) Employee’s principal place of business is, without his consent, relocated by a distance of more than forty (40) miles from the center of San Francisco; or (iv) any material breach by the Company or Parent of any provision of this Agreement.  For avoidance of doubt, any notice of non-renewal provided by the Company to Employee pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement shall not constitute or give rise to Good Reason under this Section 8(b).
 
Employee must provide written notice to the Company of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events or conditions without Employee's written consent within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of such event. The Company or any surviving entity shall have a period of thirty (30) days to cure such event or condition after receipt of written notice of such event from Employee. Any Separation from Service by reason of Employee's resignation for Good Reason following such thirty (30) day cure period must occur no later than the date that is six (6) months following the initial occurrence of one of the foregoing events or conditions without Employee's written consent. Employee's Separation from Service by reason of his resignation for Good Reason shall be treated as involuntary.  For avoidance of doubt, in the event Employee provides the foregoing notice to the Company prior to the expiration of the Initial Term but the ensuing cure period of the Company expires following the end of the Initial Term and during any Successive Term and (the applicable event or condition constituting or giving rise to Good Reason having not been cured by the Company during the applicable cure period) Employee subsequently resigns for Good Reason pursuant to this Section 8(b), such resignation shall be treated for all purposes of this Section 8(b) as having occurred during the Initial Term.
 
5

(c)              Termination by the Company for Cause . Subject to the forty-five (45) day cure period, if applicable, set forth below in this Section 8(c), the Company may immediately terminate Employee's employment at any time for Cause by giving written notice to Employee specifying in reasonable detail the reason for such termination. Upon any such termination for Cause, Employee shall be entitled to payment of all accrued and unpaid compensation and wages, but Employee shall have no right to compensation or benefits for any period subsequent to the effective date of termination. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean: Employee willfully engages in an act or omission which is in bad faith and to the detriment of the Company, engages in misconduct, gross negligence, or willful malfeasance, in each case that causes material harm to the Company, breaches this Agreement in any material respect, habitually neglects or materially fails to perform his duties (other than any such failure resulting solely from Employee's physical or mental disability or incapacity) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Employee which identifies the manner in which the Company believes that Employee has not performed Employee's duties, commits or is convicted of a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude, uses drugs or alcohol in a way that either interferes with the performance of his duties or compromises the integrity or reputation of the Company, or engages in any act of dishonesty involving the Company, disclosure of Company confidential information not required by the duties of Employee, commercial bribery, or perpetration of fraud; provided, however, that Employee shall have at least forty-five (45) calendar days to cure, if curable, any of the events which could lead to Employee's termination for Cause.
 
(d)              Termination by Death or Disability . In the event that Employee dies or becomes completely disabled from performing his duties during the Initial Term or any Successive Term, the Company shall be relieved of all obligations under this Agreement, except for payment to Employee or Employee's heirs as if the Employee had been terminated without Cause in accordance with Section 8(a) herein during the Initial Term or thereafter (as applicable). For clarification purposes, the parties agree that the Company may satisfy its obligations pursuant to this Section 8(d) through life and/or disability insurance coverage with respect to Employee.
 
(e)              Termination by Employee Without Good Reason . Employee may terminate his employment under this Agreement without Good Reason at any time by giving written notice to the Company. Such termination will become effective upon the date specified in such notice, provided that such date is at least ninety (90) calendar days after the date of delivery of the notice. Upon any such termination, the Company shall be relieved of all of its obligations under this Agreement, except for payment of all accrued compensation and wages and the provision of benefits through the effective date of termination, and the Company may, in its sole discretion, cause the termination to become effective sooner than such ninety (90) day notice period.
 
(f)              Notice of Non-Renewal .  For the avoidance of doubt, any notice of nonrenewal of a Successive Term provided by the Company pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement shall constitute termination of Employee by the Company without Cause during a Successive Term.

9.              Limitations on Payment .
 
(a)              Payment Delay . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent any payments to Employee pursuant to Section 8 are treated as non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, then (i) no amount shall be payable pursuant to such section unless Employee's termination of employment constitutes a "'separation from service" with the Company (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) and any successor provision thereto) (a "Separation from Service"), (ii) if any of the amounts described in Sections 8(a)(i)-(ii) above constitute non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code then any such amounts that become payable hereunder shall in all cases be paid in two installment payments pursuant to the terms described in the last paragraph of Section 8(a), provided that the first lump-sure payment shall be paid on the 60th day following Employee's Separation from Service subject to clause (iii) of this Section 9(a) and (iii) if Employee, at the time of his Separation from Service, is determined by the Company to be a "specified employee" for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the Company determines that delayed commencement of any portion of the termination benefits payable to Employee pursuant to this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(1) of the Code (any such delayed commencement, a "Payment Delay"), then such portion of Employee's termination benefits described in Section 8 shall not be provided to Employee prior to the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of Employee's Separation from Service, (B) the date of Employee's death or (C) such earlier date as is permitted under Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) deferral period, all payments deferred pursuant to a Payment Delay shall be paid in a lump sum to Employee within thirty (30) days following such expiration, and any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein. The determination of whether Employee is a "specified employee" for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code as of the time of his Separation from Service shall be made by the Company in accordance with the terms of Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance thereunder (including without limitation Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) and any successor provision thereto).
 
(b)              Exceptions to Payment Delay . Notwithstanding Section 9(a), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, amounts payable to Employee pursuant to Section 8 shall be made in reliance upon Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) (with respect to separation pay plans) or Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (with respect to short-term deferrals).  Accordingly, the severance payments provided for in Section 8 may not be intended to provide for any deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code to the extent (i) the severance payments payable pursuant to Section 8, by their terms and determined as of the date of Employee's Separation from Service, may not be made later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third calendar month following the later of (A) the end of the Company's fiscal year in which Employee's Separation from Service occurs or (B) the end of the calendar year in which Employee's Separation from Service occurs, or (ii) (A) such severance payments do not exceed an amount equal to two times the lesser of (1) the amount of Employee's annualized compensation based upon Employee's annual rate of pay for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which Employee's Separation from Service occurs (adjusted for any increase during the calendar year in which such Separation from Service occurs that would be expected to continue indefinitely had Employee remained employed with the Company) or (2) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) for the calendar year in which Employee's Separation from Service occurs, and (B) such severance payments shall be completed no later than December 31 of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which Employee's Separation from Service occurs. Moreover, the COBRA premium payments contemplated under Section 8 are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v) as direct service recipient payments for medical benefits.
 
7

(c)              Interpretation . To the extent the payments and benefits under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A of the Code, this Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and administered in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any applicable transition relief under Section 409A of the Code).
 
(d)              Parachute Payments . Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that payments and benefits provided under this Agreement or otherwise (including the acceleration of vesting of equity awards) to Employee (such payments or benefits are collectively referred to as the "Payments") would be subject to the excise tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, the Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the extent necessary so that no Payment to be made or benefit to be provided to Employee shall be subject to the Excise Tax, but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net after-tax benefit received by Employee shall exceed the net after-tax benefit received by him if no such reduction was made. For purposes of this Section 9(d), "net after-tax benefit" shall mean (i) the Payments which Employee receives or is then entitled to receive from the Company or Parent that would constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, less (ii) the amount of all federal, state and local income taxes payable with respect to the foregoing calculated at the maximum marginal income tax rate for each year in which the foregoing shall be paid to Employee (based on the rate in effect for such year as set forth in the Code as in effect at the time of the first payment of the foregoing), less (iii) the amount of excise taxes imposed with respect to the payments and benefits described in (i) above by Section 4999 of the Code. The foregoing determination will be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm (the "Accounting Firm") selected by Employee and reasonably acceptable to the Company (which may be, but will not be required to be, the Company's or Parent’s independent auditors). The Company will direct the Accounting Firm to submit its determination and detailed supporting calculations to both the affected Employee and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after Employee's date of Separation from Service. If the Accounting Firm determines that such reduction is required by this Section 9(d) and no Payment constitutes non-qualified deferred compensation that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, Employee, in Employee's sole and absolute discretion, may determine which Payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, and the Company shall pay such reduced amount to him. If the Accounting Firm determines that a reduction is required by this Section 9(d), and any Payment constitutes a "deferral of compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then the Payments shall be reduced in the following order; (a) reduction in the cash severance payments described herein (with such reduction being applied to the payments in the reverse order in which they would otherwise be made, that is, later payments shall be reduced before earlier payments); (b) reduction in any other cash payments payable to Employee (with such reduction being applied to the payments in the reverse order in which they would otherwise be made, that is, later payments shall be reduced before earlier payments); (c) cancellation of acceleration of vesting on any equity awards for which the exercise price exceeds the then fair market value of the underlying equity; and (d) cancellation of acceleration of vesting of equity awards not covered under (c) above; provided, however that in the event that acceleration of vesting of equity awards is to be cancelled, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of such equity awards, that is, later equity awards shall be canceled before earlier equity awards.

10.              Arbitration .   Employee, Parent and the Company agree to submit any and all disputes, controversies, or claims between them based upon, relating to, or arising from Employee's employment by the Company or the terms of this Agreement (other than workers' compensation claims) to final and binding arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator in San Francisco, California. Subject to the terms of this paragraph, the arbitration proceedings shall be initiated in accordance with, and governed by, the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes ("Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The arbitrator shall be appointed by agreement of the parties hereto or, if no agreement can be reached, by the AAA pursuant to its Rules. Notwithstanding the Rules, the parties may take discovery in accordance with Sections 1283.05(a)-(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure (but not subject to the restrictions of Section 1283.05(e)), and prior to the arbitration hearing the parties may file, and the arbitrator shall rule on, pre-trial motions such as demurrers and motions for summary judgment (applying the procedural standard embodied in Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure). The time for filing such motions shall be determined by the arbitrator. The arbitrator will rule on all pre-trial motions at least ten (10) business days prior to the scheduled hearing date. Arbitration may be compelled, the arbitration award shall be enforced, and judgment thereon shall be entered, pursuant to the California Arbitration Act (Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1280 et seq.). The prevailing party in any such arbitration shall be entitled to recover from the other, and the arbitrator is instructed to award to the prevailing party, an amount equal to the reasonable attorneys' fees and costs (including expert witness fees) incurred in connection with the arbitration, except that the Company shall bear AAA's administrative fees and the arbitrator's fees and costs. If any party is required to compel arbitration of a dispute governed by this paragraph, the party prevailing in that proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable costs and attorneys' fees and expenses incurred to compel arbitration; provided, however, that the prevailing party shall be reimbursed for such fees, costs and expenses within forty-five (45) days following any such award, but in no event later than the last day of Employee's taxable year following the taxable year in which the fees, costs and expenses were incurred; provided, further, that the parties' obligations pursuant to this sentence shall terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of Employee's termination of employment. This paragraph is intended to be the exclusive method for resolving any and all claims by the parties against each other for payment of damages under this Agreement or relating to Employee's employment; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor the submission to arbitration shall limit the parties' right to seek provisional relief, including without limitation injunctive relief, in any court of competent jurisdiction. Employee, Parent and the Company expressly waive their right to a jury trial. This paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. If any part of this paragraph is found to be void as a matter of law or public policy, the remainder of the paragraph will continue to be in full force and effect.
 
11.              Miscellaneous .
 
(a)              Assignment . The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon their respective successors and assigns. Employee agrees that the Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any successor-in-interest or Parent. Employee may assign his rights and obligations hereunder only with the express written consent of the Company, except that the rights under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Employee's heirs or assigns in the event of his death. Except as expressly provided in this paragraph, no party may assign its/his rights and obligations hereunder; and any attempt to do so will be void.
 
9

(b)              Severability . If any provision of this Agreement otherwise is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable or is prohibited by the laws of the state or jurisdiction where it is to be performed, this Agreement shall be considered divisible as to such provision, such provision shall be replaced by a provision that is valid and enforceable and that as closely as possible reflects the parties' intent with respect to such provision and such provision shall be inoperative in such state or jurisdiction and shall not be part of the consideration moving from any of the parties to any other. The remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be valid and binding and of like effect as though such provision was not included.
 
(c)              Notice . Notices given pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be delivered personally or sent by certified mail, postage pre-paid, or by overnight courier, or by fax, if to the Company or Parent, to the Company's then-current business address or, in the event the notice is to Employee, to the address that Employee has represented to the Company as current.
 
(d)              Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the conflict of laws rules thereof.
 
(e)              Waiver, Amendment . The waiver by any party to this Agreement of a breach of any provision hereof by any other party shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. No provision of this Agreement may be terminated, amended, supplemented, waived or modified other than by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom the enforcement of the termination, amendment, supplement, waiver or modification is sought. If Employee and the Company determine that any payments or benefits payable under this Agreement intended to comply with Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code do not comply with Section 409A of the Code, the parties agree to amend this Agreement, or take such other actions as the parties deem reasonably necessary or appropriate, to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any applicable transition relief) while preserving the economic agreement of the parties. If any provision of the Agreement would cause such payments or benefits to fail to so comply, such provision shall not be effective and shall be null and void with respect to such payments or benefits, and such provision shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
 
(f)              Entire Agreement . This Agreement represents the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes any previous agreement or understanding, including, without limitation, the Employment Agreement, dated as of February 17, 2013, between the Employee and Parent.
 
(g)              Execution in Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in counterparts with the same force and effectiveness as though executed as a single document.

The Initial Term shall be automatically renewed for successive one year periods ("Successive Terms") unless either party gives ninety (90) calendar days written notice of nonrenewal prior to the expiration of the then-current term (the Initial Term and any Successive Term are jointly referred to herein as the "Term").  Notwithstanding the above, or anything else provided herein, the Employee shall be an at-will employee, serving at the pleasure and direction of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO"). Accordingly, either party may terminate the employment relationship at any time for any reason, subject, however, to the notice and any payment requirements set forth herein.
 
2.               Duties . During the Term, the Employee will serve as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, reporting to the CEO. The Employee will discharge such duties and responsibilities as are customary for such position or are prescribed from time to time by the Company. The Employee will devote his full time and attention to the affairs of the Company and will not enter the employ of or serve as a consultant to, or in any way perform any services for, with or without compensation, any other person, business or organization without the prior approval of the CEO.
 
3.               Maintaining Confidential Information/Property Rights . The Employee agrees to sign and abide by all Company policies regarding confidential information and ethics including, but not limited to the Confidential & Proprietary Information and Intellectual Property/Property Rights policy, as attached hereto as Exhibit A.
 
4.               Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation . During the Term and for six (6) months following the termination of Employee's employment with the Company for any reason, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly:

(b)            recruit, encourage or solicit any person who is an employee or contractor of the Company or any entity affiliated with the Company (each, an "Affiliated Entity") to leave the Company's or Affiliated Entity's employ or service for any reason, or interfere in any material manner with employment or service relationships at the time existing between the Company or Affiliated Entity and the subject employee or contractor (except as may be required in any bona fide termination decision during the Term regarding any Company or Affiliated Entity employee) in order to induce such employee or contractor of the Company or any Affiliated Entity to accept other employment or a consulting agreement with any other person or entity.
 
The Employee acknowledges that the services that he shall provide to the Company under this Agreement are unique and that irreparable harm shall be suffered by the Company in the event of the breach by the Employee of any of his obligations under this Section 4, and that the Company shall be entitled, in addition to its other rights and remedies, whether legal or equitable, to enforce such obligations by an injunction or decree of specific performance.

In addition, if the Employee breaches this Section 4 during the Severance Period, the Company's obligation to continue to make payments to the Employee pursuant to Sections 8(a), (b) or (c) shall cease immediately.
 
5.               Salary and Incentives.
 
(a)            Salary . During the Term, the Company will pay the Employee an annual salary of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) (the "Base Salary"), subject to applicable tax withholding and payable in accordance with the Company's normal payroll practices. During the Term, the CEO shall review the Employee' Base Salary on an annual basis and, in his discretion, may award merit increases of Employee's Base Salary in accordance with Company policy.

6.               Benefits . The Employee will be entitled during the Term to participate in any vacation, health, pension, insurance or other benefit plan that is maintained by the Company or Parent for its employees (or its subsidiaries’) and/or executives to the extent and in the manner prescribed by the applicable plan documents.

(i)       an amount equal to one half (1/2) times the Employee's then-prevailing Base Salary; plus
 
(ii)      six (6) months of COBRA premiums for Employee paid for by the Company (with any such payments to be treated as taxable compensation to the extent necessary to comply with Section 105(h) of the Internal Revenue Code) pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act ("COBRA"), provided that Employee is eligible for COBRA benefits and timely completes all documentation necessary to receive COBRA benefits; plus
 
3

(iii)      if (x) the effective date of termination is on or before the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement and (y) Employee holds any outstanding long-term incentive awards (including, without limitation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, phantom shares, restricted stock or similar awards) that are not fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable with respect to all the shares subject thereto effective immediately prior to the date of termination, then Parent shall cause the portion of such outstanding and unvested long-term incentive awards that would otherwise become vested and exercisable in the twelve (12) months following the effective date of termination to become fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable effective immediately prior to the date of termination, and Employee shall have ninety (90) days to exercise any stock options that vest pursuant to this Section. In all other respects, such awards will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the plans, if any, under which they were granted and any applicable agreements between Parent and the Employee.
 
(iv)     if (x) the effective date of termination after the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement and (y) Employee holds any outstanding long-term incentive awards (including, without limitation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, phantom shares, restricted stock or similar awards) that are not fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable with respect to all the shares subject thereto effective immediately prior to the date of termination, then Parent shall cause the portion of such outstanding and unvested long-term incentive awards that would otherwise become vested and exercisable in the twenty-four (24) months following the effective date of termination to become fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable effective immediately prior to the date of termination, and Employee shall have ninety (90) days to exercise any stock options that vest pursuant to this Section. In all other respects, such awards will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the plans, if any, under which they were granted and any applicable agreements between Parent and the Employee.
 
The amounts described in clause (i) and (ii) shall be paid in two equal lump sum installments, subject to applicable tax withholding, with the first installment to be made within sixty (60) days following the date of the Employee's Separation from Service and the second installment to be made on the six month anniversary the Employee's Separation from Service (the "Severance Period"). For purposes of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), the Employee's right to receive the foregoing installment payments shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no amount shall be paid pursuant to this Section 8(a) unless, on or prior to the fifty-fifth (55th) day following the date of the Employee's Separation from Service, the Employee has executed an effective waiver and release of claims agreement (the "Release") in form and substance acceptable to the Company and any applicable revocation period has expired.

(b)           Termination by Employee for Good Reason . The Employee may voluntarily elect to resign his employment with the Company prior to the end of the Term for Good Reason (as hereinafter defined) upon giving the Company ninety (90) calendar days' advance notice in writing of such termination. In the event of the Employee's Separation from Service for Good Reason, and subject to the provisions of Section 9 below, the Employee shall be entitled to receive the payments or benefits set forth in Section 8(a) as if such Separation from Service was as a result of the Employee's termination by the Company without Cause. "Good Reason" shall mean any of the following that are undertaken without the Employee's express written consent: (i) the assignment to the Employee of principal duties or responsibilities, or the substantial reduction of the Employee's duties and responsibilities, either of which is materially inconsistent with the Employee's position as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company; (ii) a material reduction by the Company in the Employee's annual Base Salary, except to the extent the salaries of other executive employees of the Company, Parent and any other controlled subsidiary of Parent are similarly reduced; (iii) the Employee's principal place of business is, without his consent, relocated by a distance of more than fifty (50) miles from the center of San Francisco and (iv) any material breach by the Company or Parent of any provision of this Agreement.
 
The Employee must provide written notice to the Company of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events or conditions without the Employee's written consent within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of such event. The Company shall have a period of thirty (30) days to cure such event or condition after receipt of written notice of such event from the Employee. Any Separation from Service by reason of the Employee's resignation for Good Reason following such thirty (30) day cure period must occur no later than the date that is six (6) months following the initial occurrence of one of the foregoing events or conditions without Employee's written consent. The Employee's Separation from Service by reason of his resignation for Good Reason shall be treated as involuntary.
 
(c)            Termination in Connection With a Change in Control . In the event of the Employee's Separation from Service as a result of his termination by the Company without Cause or his resignation for Good Reason within three (3) months before or twelve (12) months following a "change of control" (as hereinafter defined), in lieu of any amounts payable under Sections 8(a) or (b), and subject to the provisions of Section 9 below, the Company agrees that it will pay the Employee a lump sum amount equal to the sum of:
 
(i)       an amount equal to one (1) times the Employee's then-prevailing Base Salary; plus
 
(ii)      twelve (12) months of COBRA premiums for Employee paid for by the Company or Parent (with any such payments to be treated as taxable compensation to the extent necessary to comply with Section 105(h) of the Internal Revenue Code) pursuant to COBRA, provided that Employee is eligible for COBRA benefits and timely completes all documentation necessary to receive COBRA benefits.
 
The amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be paid in a lump sum within sixty (60) days following the Employee's Separation of Service. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no amount shall be paid pursuant to this Section 8(c) unless, on or prior to the fifty-fifth (55th) day following the date of the Employee's Separation from Service, the Employee has executed an effective Release in form and substance acceptable to the Company and any applicable revocation period has expired.
 
5

In addition, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any long-term incentive award agreement or long-term incentive compensation plan, in the event of the Employee's Separation from Service as a result of his termination by the Company without Cause or his resignation for Good Reason within three (3) months before or twelve (12) months following a "change of control," Parent shall cause all outstanding long-term incentive awards then held by the Employee (including, without limitation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, phantom shares, restricted stock or similar awards) to become fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable with respect to all the shares subject thereto effective immediately prior to the date of termination, and Employee shall have ninety (90) days to exercise any stock options that vest pursuant to this Section. In all other respects, such awards will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the plans, if any, under which they were granted and any applicable agreements between Parent and the Employee.
 
A "change of control" shall mean and include each of the following:
 
(i)       A transaction or series of transactions (other than an offering of Parent’s common stock to the general public through a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission) whereby any "person" or related "group" of "persons" (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) (other than Parent, the Company, or any of their subsidiaries, an employee benefit plan maintained by Parent, the Company or any of their subsidiaries or a "person" that, prior to such transaction, directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Parent or the Company) directly or indirectly acquires beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of securities of Parent or the Company possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of Parent’s or the Company's securities outstanding immediately after such acquisition, as applicable; or
 
(ii)        During any period of two consecutive years, individuals who, at the beginning of such period, constitute the Board of Directors of Parent together with any new director(s) (other than a director designated by a person who shall have entered into an agreement with the Company or Parent to effect a transaction described in clause (i) above or clause (iii) below whose election by the Board of Directors of Parent or nomination for election by Parent’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the two-year period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; or
 
(iii)        The consummation by Parent (whether directly involving Parent or indirectly involving Parent through one or more intermediaries) of (x) a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or business combination or (y) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of Parent’s or the Company's assets in any single transaction or series of related transactions or (z) the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity, in each case other than a transaction:
 
6

(A)       Which results in Parent’s voting securities outstanding immediately before the transaction continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of Parent or the person that, as a result of the transaction, controls, directly or indirectly, Parent or owns, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of Parent’s assets or otherwise succeeds to the business of Parent (Parent or such person, the "Successor Entity")) directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity's outstanding voting securities immediately after the transaction, and
 
(B)      After which no person or group beneficially owns voting securities representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity; provided, however, that no person or group shall be treated for purposes of this clause (B) as beneficially owning fifty percent (50%) or more of combined voting power of the Successor Entity solely as a result of the voting power held in Parent prior to the consummation of the transaction; or
 
(iv)     The Company's stockholders approve a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
 
(d)             Termination by the Company for Cause . Subject to the forty-five (45) day cure period, if applicable, set forth in this Section 8(d), the Company may immediately terminate the Employee's employment at any time for Cause by giving written notice to the Employee specifying in reasonable detail the reason for such termination. Upon any such termination for Cause, Employee shall be entitled to payment of all accrued and unpaid compensation and wages, but Employee shall have no right to compensation or benefits for any period subsequent to the effective date of termination. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean: the Employee willfully engages in an act or omission which is in bad faith and to the detriment of the Company, engages in misconduct, gross negligence, or willful malfeasance, in each case that causes material harm to the Company, breaches this Agreement in any material respect, habitually neglects or materially fails to perform his duties (other than any such failure resulting solely from the Employee's physical or mental disability or incapacity) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Employee which identifies the manner in which the Company believes that the Employee has not performed the Employee's duties, commits or is convicted of a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude, uses drugs or alcohol in a way that either interferes with the performance of his duties or compromises the integrity or reputation of the Company, or engages in any act of dishonesty involving the Company, disclosure of Company confidential information not required by the duties of the Employee, commercial bribery, or perpetration of fraud; provided, however, that the Employee shall have at least forty-five (45) calendar days to cure, if curable, any of the events which could lead to the Employee's termination for Cause.
 
(e)              Termination by Death or Disability . In the event that the Employee dies or has a Separation from Service as a result of his Disability, he (or his heirs or estate) shall be entitled to receive any unpaid accrued compensation and wages and shall not be entitled to receive any severance payments hereunder.
 
(f)              Termination by Employee Without Good Reason . The Employee may terminate his employment under this Agreement without Good Reason at any time by giving written notice to the Company. Such termination will become effective upon the date specified in such notice, provided that such date is at least ninety (90) calendar days after the date of delivery of the notice. Upon any such termination, the Company shall be relieved of all of its obligations under this Agreement, except for payment of all accrued compensation and wages and the provision of benefits through the effective date of termination, and the Company may, in its sole discretion, cause the termination to become effective sooner than such ninety (90) day notice period.
 
7

(g)              Notice of Non-Renewal .  For the avoidance of doubt, any notice of nonrenewal of a Successive Term provided by the Company pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement shall constitute termination of Employee by the Company without Cause during a Successive Term; provided, however, that any notice of nonrenewal given by the Company within three (3) months before or twelve (12) months after a “change of control” shall constitute termination of Employee by the Company without Cause for purposes of Section 8(c) hereof.
 
9.              Limitations on Payment .
 
(a)              Payment Delay . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent any payments to the Employee pursuant to Section 8 are treated as non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, then (i) no amount shall be payable pursuant to such section unless the Employee's termination of employment constitutes a "separation from service" with the Company (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) and any successor provision thereto) (a "Separation from Service"), and (ii) if the Employee, at the time of his Separation from Service, is determined by the Company to be a "specified employee" for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and the Company determines that delayed commencement of any portion of the termination benefits payable to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (any such delayed commencement, a "Payment Delay"), then such portion of the Employee's termination benefits described in Section 8 shall not be provided to the Employee prior to the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Employee's Separation from Service, (B) the date of the Employee's death or (C) such earlier date as is permitted under Section 409A. Upon the expiration of the applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) deferral period, all payments deferred pursuant to a Payment Delay shall be paid in a lump sum to the Employee within thirty (30) days following such expiration, and any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein. The determination of whether the Employee is a "specified employee" for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code as of the time of his Separation from Service shall be made by the Company in accordance with the terms of Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance thereunder (including without limitation Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) and any successor provision thereto).
 
(b)              Exceptions to Payment Delay . Notwithstanding Section 9(a), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, amounts payable to the Employee pursuant to Section 8 shall be made in reliance upon Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) (with respect to separation pay plans) or Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (with respect to short-term deferrals). Accordingly, the severance payments provided for in Section 8 may not be intended to provide for any deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code to the extent (i) the severance payments payable pursuant to Section 8, by their terms and determined as of the date of the Employee's Separation from Service, may not be made later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third calendar month following the later of (A) the end of the Company's fiscal year in which the Employee's Separation from Service occurs or (B) the end of the calendar year in which the Employee's Separation from Service occurs, or (ii) (A) such severance payments do not exceed an amount equal to two times the lesser of (1) the amount of Employee's annualized compensation based upon the Employee's annual rate of pay for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the Employee's Separation from Service occurs (adjusted for any increase during the calendar year in which such Separation from Service occurs that would be expected to continue indefinitely had the Employee remained employed with the Company) or (2) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) for the calendar year in which the Employee's Separation from Service occurs, and (B) such severance payments shall be completed no later than December 31 of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which the Employee's Separation from Service occurs. Moreover, the COBRA premium payments contemplated under Section 8 are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v) as direct service recipient payments for medical benefits.
 
8

(c)              Interpretation . To the extent the payments and benefits under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A of the Code, this Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and administered in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any applicable transition relief under Section 409A of the Code).
 
(d)              Parachute Payments . Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that payments and benefits provided under this Agreement or otherwise (including the acceleration of vesting of equity awards) to the Employee (such payments or benefits are collectively referred to as the "Payments") would be subject to the excise tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, the Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the extent necessary so that no Payment to be made or benefit to be provided to the Employee shall be subject to the Excise Tax, but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net after-tax benefit received by such the Employee shall exceed the net after-tax benefit received by him if no such reduction was made. For purposes of this Section 9(d), "net after-tax benefit" shall mean (i) the Payments which the Employee receives or is then entitled to receive from the Company or Parent that would constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, less (ii) the amount of all federal, state and local income taxes payable with respect to the foregoing calculated at the maximum marginal income tax rate for each year in which the foregoing shall be paid to the Employee (based on the rate in effect for such year as set forth in the Code as in effect at the time of the first payment of the foregoing), less (iii) the amount of excise taxes imposed with respect to the payments and benefits described in (i) above by Section 4999 of the Code. The foregoing determination will be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm (the "Accounting Firm") selected by the Employee and reasonably acceptable to the Company (which may be, but will not be required to be, the Company's or Parent’s independent auditors). The Company will direct the Accounting Firm to submit its determination and detailed supporting calculations to both the affected Employee and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Employee's date of Separation from Service. If the Accounting Firm determines that such reduction is required by this Section 9(d), and no Payment constitutes non-qualified deferred compensation that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Employee, in the Employee's sole and absolute discretion, may determine which Payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, and the Company shall pay such reduced amount to him. If the Accounting Firm determines that a reduction is required by this Section 9(d), and any Payment constitutes a "deferral of compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then the Payments shall be reduced in the following order: (a) reduction in the cash severance payments described herein (with such reduction being applied to the payments in the reverse order in which they would otherwise be made, that is, later payments shall be reduced before earlier payments); (b) reduction in any other cash payments payable to the Employee (with such reduction being applied to the payments in the reverse order in which they would otherwise be made, that is, later payments shall be reduced before earlier payments); (c) cancellation of acceleration of vesting on any equity awards for which the exercise price exceeds the then fair market value of the underlying equity; and (d) cancellation of acceleration of vesting of equity awards not covered under (c) above; provided, however that in the event that acceleration of vesting of equity awards is to be cancelled, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of such equity awards, that is, later equity awards shall be canceled before earlier equity awards.
 
9

10.            Arbitration .
 
The Employee, Parent and the Company agree to submit any and all disputes, controversies, or claims between them based upon, relating to, or arising from the Employee's employment by the Company or the terms of this Agreement (other than workers' compensation claims) to final and binding arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator in San Francisco, California. Subject to the terms of this paragraph, the arbitration proceedings shall be initiated in accordance with, and governed by, the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes ("Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The arbitrator shall be appointed by agreement of the parties hereto or, if no agreement can be reached, by the AAA pursuant to its Rules. Notwithstanding the Rules, the parties may take discovery in accordance with Sections 1283.05(a)-(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure (but not subject to the restrictions of Section 1283.05(e)), and prior to the arbitration hearing the parties may file, and the arbitrator shall rule on, pre-trial motions such as demurrers and motions for summary judgment (applying the procedural standard embodied in Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure). The time for filing such motions shall be determined by the arbitrator. The arbitrator will rule on all pre-trial motions at least ten (10) business days prior to the scheduled hearing date. Arbitration may be compelled, the arbitration award shall be enforced, and judgment thereon shall be entered, pursuant to the California Arbitration Act (Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1280 et seq.). The prevailing party in any such arbitration shall be entitled to recover from the other, and the arbitrator is instructed to award to the prevailing party, an amount equal to the reasonable attorneys' fees and costs (including expert witness fees) incurred in connection with the arbitration, except that the Company shall bear AAA's administrative fees and the arbitrator's fees and costs. If any party is required to compel arbitration of a dispute governed by this paragraph, the party prevailing in that proceeding shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable costs and attorneys' fees and expenses incurred to compel arbitration; provided, however, that the prevailing party shall be reimbursed for such fees, costs and expenses within forty-five (45) days following any such award, but in no event later than the last day of the Employee's taxable year following the taxable year in which the fees, costs and expenses were incurred; provided, further, that the parties' obligations pursuant to this sentence shall terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of the Employee's termination of employment. This paragraph is intended to be the exclusive method for resolving any and all claims by the parties against each other for payment of damages under this Agreement or relating to the Employee's employment; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor the submission to arbitration shall limit the parties' right to seek provisional relief, including without limitation injunctive relief, in any court of competent jurisdiction. Employee, Parent and the Company expressly waive their right to a jury trial. This paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. If any part of this paragraph is found to be void as a matter of law or public policy, the remainder of the paragraph will continue to be in full force and effect.

Under the terms of the agreement, which has been unanimously approved and adopted by the Boards of Directors of both CollabRx and Medytox, CollabRx equityholders will own a 10% stake in the combined company and Medytox equityholders will own 90% of the combined company, based on the number of equity securities outstanding immediately following the merger, and excluding convertible preferred shares and notes issued by Medytox, as well as option grants expected to be made in connection with the closing.

Thomas Mika, CEO of CollabRx said: “I cannot be more enthusiastic about this outcome for all CollabRx stakeholders, including our shareholders, customers, team members and advisors. CollabRx will continue its mission to better inform decision-making in cancer within a high-growth, profit-oriented company, while being able to support several exciting Medytox initiatives in precision medicine.”
