Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
Credit Agreement
 
On September 3, 2019, we, as borrower, and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a Credit Agreement and Guaranty, or the Credit Agreement, with Perceptive Credit Holdings II, LP, which, together with its successors and assigns from time to time, we refer to as the Lenders.
 
Principal Amount. The Credit Agreement provides for a $20,000,000 senior secured term loan credit facility, which was drawn in full on September 4, 2019. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we may use the proceeds (i) for general working capital purposes and other permitted corporate purposes, (ii) to refinance certain of our existing indebtedness and (iii) to pay fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement, including the Lenders’ closing cost amount of $550,000, which was netted from the proceeds, and a financing fee of $600,000 (3.0% of gross proceeds) payable to Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC, our financial advisor for the financing.
 
Interest Rate. Principal outstanding under the Credit Agreement bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (a) the greater of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate and 2.5% plus (b) 8.75%. At any time at which an event of default (as described under “—Default Provisions” below) has occurred and is continuing, the interest rate will increase by 4.0%. Accrued interest is payable on a monthly basis.
 
Scheduled Repayment. No principal repayments are due prior to September 30, 2022, unless we elect to prepay principal as described under “—Optional Prepayment” below or principal is accelerated pursuant to an event of default as described under “—Default Provisions” below. Principal installments in the amount of $300,000 are payable on the last day of each of the eleven months from September 2022 through July 2023, and all remaining principal is payable at maturity on September 3, 2023.
 
Optional Prepayment. We may prepay outstanding principal from time to time, subject to payment of a premium on the prepaid principal amount equal to 10% through September 3, 2020, 8% from September 4, 2020 through September 3, 2021, and 4% from September 4, 2021 through September 3, 2022. No premium will be due with respect to any prepayment made on or after September 4, 2022.
 
Guaranties. Our subsidiaries Chembio Diagnostic Systems Inc. and Chembio Diagnostics Malaysia Sdn Bhd. have guaranteed, and the Lenders from time to time may require our other subsidiaries to guarantee, our obligations under the Credit Agreement.
 
Security. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority, perfected lien on substantially all of our property and assets, including our equity interests in our subsidiaries. Our subsidiary Chembio Diagnostic Systems Inc. has secured its guarantee of our Credit Agreement obligations with a lien on substantially all of its assets, and the Lenders from time to time may require Chembio Diagnostics Malaysia Sdn Bhd. and any of our other subsidiaries that has guaranteed our Credit Agreement obligations to do the same.
 
Representations and Warranties; Financial and Other Covenants. In the Credit Agreement we made customary representations and warranties as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants limiting additional indebtedness, liens, guaranties, mergers and acquisitions, substantial asset sales, investments and loans, sale and leasebacks, transactions with affiliates, and fundamental changes. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants requiring that (i) we maintain aggregate unrestricted cash of not less than $3,000,000 at all times and (ii) we achieve specified minimum rolling four-quarter (“last twelve month”) total revenue amounts as of September 30, 2019 and the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter. The minimum total revenue amounts, which range from $32.0 million to $50.1 million, were developed for purposes of the Credit Agreement and do not reflect the internal estimates and plans used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance, to establish budgets, and to establish operational goals for managing our business. We therefore do not believe that the covenant requirements provide useful information to investors or others in enhancing an understanding of our future prospects.
 

Default Provisions. The Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default, including events of default based on non-payment of amounts due under the Credit Agreement, defaults on other debt, misrepresentations, covenant breaches, changes of control, insolvency, bankruptcy and the occurrence of a material adverse effect on the Company. Upon an event of default resulting from a voluntary or involuntary proceeding for bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership, the amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement will become immediately due and payable and the Lenders’ commitments will be automatically terminated. Upon the occurrence and continuation of any other event of default, Lenders holding a majority of the outstanding loans and commitments may accelerate payment of all obligations and terminate the Lenders’ commitments under the Credit Agreement. Upon an acceleration of payment following an event of default occurring prior to September 4, 2021, the amounts due and payable by us will include a prepayment premium on accelerated principal in the amount described under “—Optional Prepayment” above.
 
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Warrant
 
In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, on September 3, 2019, we issued to Perceptive Credit Holdings II, LP a seven-year warrant, or the Warrant, to purchase up to 550,000 shares of our common stock at a per-share exercise price of $5.22. The Warrant is exercisable for cash or on a net, or “cashless,” basis, and the exercise price of the Warrant is subject to price-based, weighted-average antidilution adjustments for one year after issuance.

Section 2.             Exercise.
 
a)           Exercise of Warrant.  Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times before the Expiration Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile or electronic copy of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”) and within two (2) Trading Days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank or if available, pursuant to the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and this Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within two (2) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
 
4

In the event that immediately prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date, the Closing Bid Price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the then applicable Exercise Price, this Warrant shall be deemed to be automatically exercised as a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) below, and the Company shall deliver the applicable number of shares of Common Stock to the Holder pursuant to the provisions of Section 2(d) below.
 
b)           Exercise Price.  The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $5.22, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
 
c)          Cashless Exercise.  This Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A) (a “Cashless Exercise”), where:
 
(A) = the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X) =  the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being cancelled.

5

d)           Mechanics of Exercise.
 
i.          Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise.  Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company, by 11 a.m. (local time in New York City, New York) on a Trading Day, of the Notice of Exercise and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (including by Cashless Exercise) (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”).  The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Warrant Shares for all purposes, as of the date this Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by Cashless Exercise) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(v) prior to the issuance of such Warrant Shares, having been paid.  If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, other than a failure to deliver caused by the Holder’s failure to pay the applicable Exercise Price for such Warrant Shares or to timely take such actions as are necessary to post such Warrant Shares in DWAC, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), an amount equal to the Exercise Price per Trading Day for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise.
 
ii.          Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise.  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
 
iii.         Rescission Rights.  If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the third (3rd) Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, other than a failure to deliver caused by the Holder’s failure to pay the applicable Exercise Price for such Warrant Shares or to timely take such actions as are necessary to post such Warrant Shares in DWAC, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

6

iv.         Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise.  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date and such failure is not caused by any act or omission of the Holder, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (provided, Holder exercises reasonable efforts to minimize the amount of such purchase price) exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise to acquire Warrant Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
v.          No Fractional Shares or Scrip.  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
 
vi.          Charges, Taxes and Expenses.  Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by a completed Assignment Form in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.  The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
 
7

vii.         Closing of Books.  The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
e)          Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to this Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates, and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.  To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.  In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (C) a more recent written notice from the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written request of a Holder, the Company shall within three (3) Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the applicable issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
 
8

f)            No Violation. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with the Holder, and take all such actions as may be reasonably necessary, in order to ensure that all such Warrant Shares are issued without violation by the Company of any applicable law or governmental regulation or of any requirements of any Trading Market on which Common Stock is listed at the time of exercise of this Warrant (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Company upon each such issuance).
 
Section 3.             Certain Adjustments. In order to prevent dilution of the purchase rights granted under this Warrant Certificate, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 3.
 
a)           Adjustment to Exercise Price Upon Issuance of Common Stock.  Subject to Section 3(c), if the Company shall, at any time after the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) and prior to the first anniversary of the Issue Date, issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (other than in an Excluded Issuance or any event described in Section 3(d) or (e)), whether directly or indirectly by way of Options or Convertible Securities, without consideration or for consideration per share less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then immediately upon such issuance or sale, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale shall be reduced (and in no event increased) to an Exercise Price equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:
 
i.            the sum of (A) the product obtained by multiplying the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) by the Exercise Price then in effect plus (B) the aggregate consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale); by
 
9

ii.           the sum of (A) the Common Stock Deemed Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) plus (B) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued or sold (or deemed issued or sold) by the Company in such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale).
 
b)          Adjustment to Number of Warrant Shares Upon Adjustment to Exercise Price.  Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 3(a), the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate immediately prior to any such adjustment shall be increased to a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:
 
i.             the product of (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such adjustment multiplied by (B) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate immediately prior to any such adjustment; by
 
ii.            the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
 
c)           Effect of Certain Events on Adjustment to Exercise Price.  For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under Section 3(a), the following shall be applicable:
 
i.           Issuance of Options.  If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, in any manner grant or sell any Options, whether or not such Options or the right to convert or exchange any Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options are immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this Section 3(c)(i) and in Section 3(c)(v)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Options (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price under Section 3(a)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:
 
(x)         the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 3(a)) of (1) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of all such Options, plus (2) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus (3), in the case of such Options which relate to Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by
 
10

(y)          the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of all such Options.
 
Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(c)(iii), no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock or of Convertible Securities upon exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.
 
ii.          Issuance of Convertible Securities.  If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, in any manner grant or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the right to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities is immediately exercisable, and the price per share (determined as provided in this Section 3(c)(ii) and in Section 3(c)(v)) for which Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting or sale of such Convertible Securities (and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of adjusting the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 3(a)), at a price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing:
 
(x)          the sum (which sum shall constitute the applicable consideration received for purposes of Section 3(a)) of (1) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus (2) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities, by
 
(y)          the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities.
 
Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(c)(iii), (A) no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities and (B) no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of the issue or sale of Convertible Securities upon exercise of any Options to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Exercise Price have been made pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 3(c).
 
iii.             Change in Terms of Options or Convertible Securities.  From the Issue Date until the first anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Company shall not change (A) the total amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting or sale of any Options or Convertible Securities referred to in Section 3(c)(i) or (ii), (B) the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of any Options or upon the issuance, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 3(c)(i) or (ii), (C) the rate at which Convertible Securities referred to in Section 3(c)(i) or (ii) are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or (D) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with any Options referred to in Section 3(c)(i) or any Convertible Securities referred to in Section 3(c)(ii) (in each case, other than in connection with an Excluded Issuance) without the prior written consent of the Holder.
 
11

iv.              [RESERVED].
 
v.             Calculation of Consideration Received.  If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, issue or sell, or pursuant to Section 3(c) be deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities: (A) for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefor; (B) for Marketable Securities, the amount of consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the market price (as reflected on any securities exchange, quotation system or association or similar pricing system covering such security) for such securities as of the end of business on the date of receipt of such securities; (C) for consideration other than cash or Marketable Securities, the amount of consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration; (D) for no specifically allocated consideration in connection with an issuance or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, the amount of consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be to be the fair value of such portion of the aggregate consideration received by the Company in such transaction as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued in such transaction; or (E) to the owners of the non‑surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, issued to such owners.  The net amount of any cash consideration and the fair value of any consideration other than cash or Marketable Securities shall be determined in good faith jointly by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Holder.
 
vi.              Record Date.  For purposes of any adjustment to the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares in accordance with this Section 3, in case the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
 
vii.            Treasury Shares.  The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the disposition of any such shares (other than the cancellation or retirement thereof or the transfer of such shares among the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries) shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock for the purpose of this Section 3.
 
12

d)          Adjustment to Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.  If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, (i) pay a dividend or make any other distribution upon the Common Stock or any other capital stock of the Company payable in shares of Common Stock or in Options or Convertible Securities, or (ii) subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such dividend, distribution or subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate shall be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate shall be proportionately decreased.  Any adjustment under this Section 3(d) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the dividend, subdivision or combination becomes effective.
 
e)           Adjustment to Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Upon Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation or Merger.  In the event of any (A) capital reorganization of the Company or (B) reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares) in each case which entitles the holders of Common Stock to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock:
 
(x)          this Warrant Certificate shall, immediately after such transaction, remain outstanding and shall thereafter, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the number of Warrant Shares then exercisable under this Warrant Certificate, be exercisable for the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or assets of the Company or of the successor Person resulting from such transaction to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such transaction if the Holder had exercised this Warrant Certificate in full immediately prior to the time of such transaction and acquired the applicable number of Warrant Shares then issuable hereunder as a result of such exercise; and
 
(y)         appropriate adjustment (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder) shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant Certificate to insure that the provisions of this Section 3 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant Certificate in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate (including, in the case of any transaction in which the successor or purchasing Person is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment in the Exercise Price to the value per share for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such transaction, and a corresponding adjustment immediately shall be made to the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such transaction).
 
13

The provisions of this Section 3(e) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations and reclassifications.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any corporate event or other transaction contemplated by this Section 3(e), the Holder shall have the right to elect, prior to the consummation of such event or transaction, to exercise this Warrant instead of giving effect to Section 3(e).
 
f)           Other Dividends and Distributions.  If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, make or declare, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or any other distribution payable in cash, securities of the Company (other than a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or other property, then, and in each such event, the Company shall ensure that provisions are made so that the Holder shall receive upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate, in addition to the number of Warrant Shares receivable thereupon, the kind and amount of cash, securities of the Company or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Warrant Certificate been exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event and had the Holder thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the date of exercise, retained such cash, securities or other property receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 3 with respect to the rights of the Holder; provided that no such provision shall be made if the Holder receives, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities, cash or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities, cash or other property as the Holder would have received if this Warrant Certificate had been exercised in full into Warrant Shares on the date of such event.
 
g)          Certain Events.  If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 3 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features) occurs, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 3; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(g) shall increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares issuable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3.
 
14

h)           Certificate as to Adjustment.  As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Exercise Price, but in any event not later than three business days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying the calculation thereof.  As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt by the Company of a written request by the Holder, but in any event not later than three business days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to the Holder a certificate of an executive officer certifying the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of Warrant Shares or the amount, if any, of other shares of stock, securities or assets then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant Certificate.
 
i)            Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company effects a Fundamental Transaction then:
 

i.
if the consideration to be received by the holders of the Company’s Common Stock is cash and/or Marketable Securities, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised, in full, without the requirement to deliver any Notice of Exercise, immediately prior to the closing of such Fundamental Transaction and the Holder shall receive, in the same proportions as the holders of the Company’s Common Stock, such amounts of cash and/or Marketable Securities as the holders of the Company’s Common Stock (and if the holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the cash or Marketable Securities to be received in such Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice); and
 
15

  ii.
if the consideration to be received by the holders of the Company’s Common Stock is not cash and/or Marketable Securities (an “Illiquid Fundamental Transaction”), then, unless exercised by the Holder (in the Holder’s sole discretion) prior to the consummation of such Illiquid Fundamental Transaction, (x) this Warrant shall remain outstanding and (y) upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Illiquid Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Illiquid Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Illiquid Fundamental Transaction.  For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Illiquid Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration.  If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in an Illiquid Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Illiquid Fundamental Transaction.  The Company shall cause any successor entity in an Illiquid Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Illiquid Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Illiquid Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the Exercise Price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Illiquid Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such Exercise Price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Illiquid Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Illiquid Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Illiquid Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Loan Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Loan Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
 
j)           Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
 
16

k)           Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, or (F) the Company seeks to engage in a Fundamental Transaction, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register (as defined below) of the Company, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such Fundamental Transaction, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such Fundamental Transaction, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice required to be provided hereunder may contain information that constitutes material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall obtain the Holder’s prior consent to receipt of such notice. If the Holder declines to receive any such notice pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall not be deemed to have breached its obligation to deliver such notice hereunder.  The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
 
Section 4.             Transfer of Warrant.
 
a)           Transferability.  Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, (i) to any transferee who is not an Affiliate of the Holder upon five (5) Trading Days’ prior notice to the Company or (ii) to any Affiliate of the Holder upon notice to the Company and, in each case, surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.  Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within two (2) Trading Days of the date the Holder delivers to the Company a completed Assignment Form in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder assigning all or any portion of this Warrant.  This Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
 
17

b)           New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.  Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated as of the Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
 
c)          Transferee RepresentationsIf, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, deliver a written statement from the transferee to the Company certifying that the transferee is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, making the representations and certifications set forth in Section 4(e) of this Warrant and making such additional representations as the Company may, after consultation with its counsel, require in order to confirm compliance with applicable securities laws.
 
d)          Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.  The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
 
e)           Representation by the Holder.  The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
 
18

Section 5.             Miscellaneous.
 
a)           No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise.  This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3.
 
b)          Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of this Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
 
c)          Removal of Restrictive Legends.  Neither this Warrant nor any certificates evidencing Warrant Shares shall contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof in any of the following circumstances: (A) following any sale of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares issued or delivered to the Holder under or in connection herewith pursuant to Rule 144, (B) if this Warrant or such Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), or (C) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”).  In such circumstances, the Company shall seek to cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent if required by such Transfer Agent to effect the issuance of Warrant Shares, without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder.  If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of this Warrant, the Warrant Shares or such other shares of Common Stock, then this Warrant, Warrant Shares or other Common Stock, as the case may be, shall be issued free of all legends.
 
d)         Replacement WarrantThe Company agrees that at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions have been satisfied it shall promptly (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days) following written request from the Holder issue a replacement Warrant or replacement Warrant Shares or replacement shares in respect of such other Common Stock, as the case may be, free of all restrictive legends (“Unlegended Shares”).
 
e)          Rule 144 Compliance.  With a view to making available to the Holder the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company shall:
 

i.
use reasonable best efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, including to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

ii.
furnish to the Holder, promptly upon request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed or furnished by the Company as such holder may reasonably request in connection with the sale of the Warrant Shares without registration.
 
f)           Authorized Shares.  The Company covenants that, during the period this Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock is listed.  The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
 
g)          No Impairment.  Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue unrestricted, fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.  Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
 
20

h)           Governing Law.  This Warrant and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
 
i)            Submission to Jurisdiction.  The Company agrees that any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Warrant or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof may be brought initially in the federal or state courts in New York, New York or in the courts of its own corporate domicile and irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court for the purpose of any such suit, action, proceeding or judgment.  This Section is for the benefit of the Holder only and, as a result, the Holder shall not be prevented from taking proceedings in any other courts with jurisdiction.  To the extent allowed by any applicable law, the Holder may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.
 
j)            Waiver of Venue, Etc.  The Company irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant and hereby further irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  A final judgment (in respect of which time for all appeals has elapsed) in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the Company is or may be subject, by suit upon judgment.
 
k)        Waiver of Jury Trial.  THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
 
l)            No Waiver.  No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under this Warrant shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Warrant preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
 
m)         Expenses.  If the Company fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any actual, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
 
21

n)          Notices.  All notices, requests, instructions, directions and other communications provided for herein (including any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Warrant) shall be given or made in writing (including by telecopy or email) delivered, if to the Company or the Holder, to its address specified on the signature pages hereto, or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party.  Except as otherwise provided in this Warrant, all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt of a legible copy thereof, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.  All such communications provided for herein by telecopy shall be confirmed in writing promptly after the delivery of such communication (it being understood that non-receipt of written confirmation of such communication shall not invalidate such communication).
 
o)          Limitation of Liability.  No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
 
p)          Remedies.  The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to seek specific performance of its rights under this Warrant.  The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
q)          Successors and Assigns.  Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder.  The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or any holder of Warrant Shares.
 
r)           Amendments, Etc.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Warrant, any provision of this Warrant may be modified or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Holder.
 
s)          Severability.  If any provision hereof is found by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable Law the parties agree that such invalidity or unenforceability shall not impair the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
 
t)            Captions.  The captions and section headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Warrant.
 
u)           Counterparts.  This Warrant may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Warrant by signing any such counterpart.

-28-

(ii)          The Borrower may make one borrowing under the Commitment which shall be on the Closing Date.  Subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.03, all amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Term Loan shall be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date.  Each Lender’s Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Closing Date after giving effect to the funding of such Lender’s Commitment on such date.
 
(b)         Any principal amount of the Term Loan borrowed under Section 2.01(a) hereof and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
 
Section 2.02.     Proportionate Shares.  The Term Loan shall be made, and all participations purchased, by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Proportionate Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Term Loan hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Term Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.

Article 3
 
Payments of Principal and Interest
 
Section 3.01.        Repayment.  Commencing with the Payment Date occurring immediately after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower shall on each Payment Date make a repayment of the Term Loan in an amount equal to 1.50% of the initial principal amount of the Term Loan.  The entire outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan will be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
 
-29-

Section 3.02.        Interest.
 
(a)         Interest Generally.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lenders interest in cash on the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) LIBOR plus (ii) the Applicable Margin.
 
(b)         LIBOR Not Determinable.  If on or before the day on which LIBOR is to be determined, the Majority Lenders determine that (i) LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of maintaining the Term Loan or (ii) Dollar deposits in the principal amount of the Term Loan are not available in the London interbank market, the Majority Lenders shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.  Upon any such determination, LIBOR shall be LIBOR as of the end of the then immediately preceding Interest Period and shall at all times thereafter bear interest at LIBOR as of the end of the immediately preceding Interest Period.  Each determination by the Majority Lenders hereunder shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
 
(c)         Default Interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Applicable Margin shall increase automatically by 4.00% per annum (such aggregate increased rate, the “Default Rate”).  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if interest is required to be paid at the Default Rate, it shall also be paid entirely in cash.  If any Obligation is not paid when due (giving effect to any applicable grace period) under the applicable Loan Document, the amount thereof shall accrue interest at a rate equal to 4.00% per annum (without duplication of interest payable at the Default Rate).
 
(d)        Payment Dates.  Accrued interest on the Term Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date with respect to the most recently completed Interest Period in cash, and upon the payment or prepayment of the Term Loan (on the principal amount being so paid or prepaid); provided that interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand by the Majority Lenders.
 
(e)          Maximum Rate.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event will any interest or rates referred to herein exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable Law.  If such maximum interest rate would be exceeded by the terms hereof, the rates of interest payable hereunder will be reduced to the extent necessary so that such rates (together with any fees or other amounts which are construed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be interest or in the nature of interest) equal the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable Law and any overpayment of interest received by the Lenders before such rates are so construed will be applied, forthwith after determination of such overpayment, to pay all then outstanding interest, and thereafter to pay outstanding principal.
 
Section 3.03.        Prepayments.
 
(a)         Optional Prepayments.  (i) The Borrower shall have the right to optionally prepay in whole or in part (in a minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount for each partial prepayment) the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan on any Business Day (a “Redemption Date”) for an amount equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid, (y) the prepayment premium set forth in clause (ii) below (the “Prepayment Premium”) and (z) any accrued but unpaid interest in respect of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid (such aggregate amount, the “Redemption Price”).  The applicable Prepayment Premium shall be an amount calculated pursuant to Section 3.03(a)(ii).
 
-30-

(ii)          If the Redemption Date occurs:
 
(A)         on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans being prepaid on such Redemption Date;
 
(B)      after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be an amount equal to eight percent (8%) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans being prepaid on such Redemption Date; and
 
(C)       after the second anniversary of the Closing Date and on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans being prepaid on such Redemption Date.
 
(iii)        Payment of any Prepayment Premium under this Section 3.03 constitutes liquidated damages, not unmatured interest or a penalty, as the actual amount of damages to the Lenders as a result of the relevant triggering event, prepayment or repayment would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain.  Accordingly, the Prepayment Premium hereunder is provided by mutual agreement of the Borrower and the Lenders as a reasonable estimation and calculation of such actual lost profits and other actual damages of the Lenders.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that upon the occurrence of any Premium Event, the Prepayment Premium shall be automatically and immediately due and payable as though any prepaid or repaid portion of the Term Loan was voluntarily prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral.  The Prepayment Premium shall also be automatically and immediately due and payable if the Term Loan is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding or otherwise), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means.  THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR OTHER LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING APPLICABLE PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH EVENTS.  The Borrower and the other Obligors expressly agree (to the fullest extent it and they may lawfully do so) that with respect to the Prepayment Premium payable under the terms of this Agreement: (i) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business parties, ably represented by counsel; (ii) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then-prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (iii) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Obligors giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium; and (iv) the Obligors shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph.  The Obligors expressly acknowledge that their agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium as herein described is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Commitments and to make the Term Loan.
 
-31-

(b)         Mandatory Prepayments.  The Borrower shall prepay the Term Loan in amounts as provided below, plus the Prepayment Premium on the principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid (calculated in accordance with Section 3.03(a)(ii), it being agreed that the relevant payment date shall be deemed to be the “Redemption Date” for purposes of such calculation), plus any accrued but unpaid interest and fees then due and owing, as follows:
 
(i)         In the event of any Casualty Event, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Obligors with respect thereto; provided, however, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower may apply the Net Cash Proceeds of any casualty policy toward the replacement or repair of destroyed or damaged property; provided, further, that any such replaced or repaired property shall be Collateral in which the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders has been granted a security interest under the Security Documents.
 
(ii)         In the event any Obligor incurs Indebtedness other than Indebtedness that is permitted by Section 9.01 hereof, 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof received by such Obligor.  For the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 3.03(b)(ii) shall not be deemed to be a consent to any such incurrence of Indebtedness or a cure or waiver of any Event of Default which occurs in connection therewith, it being understood that any such Event of Default may only be waived with the express consent of the Majority Lenders.
 
All prepayments made pursuant to this Section 3.03(b) shall be applied pursuant to Section 4.01(b).
 
Section 3.04.        Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.
 
(a)         Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement.  Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders.  Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders accept such amendment.  No replacement of LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3.04 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
 
-32-

(b)         Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
 
(c)          Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 3.04 including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.04.
 
(d)         Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, LIBOR shall be LIBOR as of the end of the immediately preceding Interest Period until the effectiveness of the amendments described in Section 3.04(a); provided that in no event shall LIBOR be less than 2.50% per annum.

(c)        Non‑Business Days.  If the due date of any payment under this Agreement (whether in respect of principal, interest, fees, costs or otherwise, but excluding the Stated Maturity Date) would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

Article 5
 
Yield Protection, Etc.
 
Section 5.01.         Additional Costs.
 
(a)         Change in Requirements of Law Generally.  If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any court or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its lending office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, contribution, insurance assessment or similar requirement, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, a Lender (or its lending office) or shall impose on a Lender (or its lending office) any other condition affecting the Term Loan or the Commitment, not as a result of any action or inaction on the part of such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its portion of the Term Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender in good faith to be material (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (iii) Connection Income Taxes), then the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender on demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd‑Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to constitute a change in Requirements of Law for all purposes of this Section 5.01, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(c)         Notification by Lender.  The Lenders will promptly notify the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle a Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01.  Before giving any such notice pursuant to this Section 5.01(c) such Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation (x) will, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and (y) will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.  A certificate of the Lender claiming compensation under this Section 5.01, setting forth the calculation of the amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder in reasonable detail, shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. 
 
Section 5.02.        Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that on or after the date hereof the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any competent Governmental Authority shall make it unlawful for a Lender or its lending office to make or maintain the Term Loan (and, in the opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different lending office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof following which (a) the Lender’s Commitment shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain the Term Loan hereunder and (b) if such Requirement of Law shall so mandate, the Term Loan shall be prepaid by the Borrower on or before such date as shall be mandated by such Requirement of Law in an amount equal to the Redemption Price applicable on the date of such prepayment in accordance with Section 3.03(a).
 
Section 5.03.        Taxes.
 
(a)        Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments on account of any Obligation shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law.  If any applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by an Obligor, then such Obligor shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding for Indemnified Taxes has been made (including such deductions and withholdings for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding for Indemnified Taxes been made.  For purposes of this Section, the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(d)        Indemnification.  The Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.03) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  An original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, or a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(e)       Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any Borrower to do so), and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
 
(f)         Status of Lenders.  (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.03(e)(ii)(A), (B) or (D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
 
(A)         any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed, valid, executed copies of IRS Form W‑9 (or successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding Tax;
 
(B)         any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
 
(1)        in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, duly completed, valid executed copies of IRS Form W‑8BEN (or successor form) or IRS Form W‑8BEN‑E (or successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such Tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, duly completed, valid, executed originals of IRS Form W‑8BEN (or successor form) or IRS Form W‑8BEN‑E (or successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such Tax treaty;
 
(2)          duly completed, valid, executed copies of IRS Form W‑8ECI (or successor form);
 
(3)         in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the applicable Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W‑8BEN (or successor form) or IRS Form W‑8BEN‑E (or successor form); or
 
-38-

(4)          to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, duly completed, valid, executed copies of IRS Form W‑8IMY (or successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W‑8ECI (or successor form), IRS Form W‑8BEN (or successor form), IRS Form W‑8BEN‑E (or successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W‑9 (or successor form), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
 
(C)         any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
 
(D)         if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
 
Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
 
-39-

(g)         Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party to this Agreement determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out‑of‑pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the written request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.03(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.03(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after‑Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This Section 5.03(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
 
(h)       Mitigation Obligations.  If the Borrower are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.01 or this Section 5.03, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term Loan hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if, in the sole reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation would (i) eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or this Section 5.03, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (iii) not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation.
 
(i)         Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.
 
Section 5.04.      Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six‑months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six‑month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 10.02.    Remedies.  (a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, then, and in every such event (other than an Event of Default described in Section 10.01(h) or (i)), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Majority Lenders may, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Term Loan then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Term Loan so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other Obligations, shall become due and payable immediately (in the case of the Term Loan, at the Redemption Price therefor), without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Obligor.
 
(b)         Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 10.01(h) or (i), the principal amount of the Term Loan then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other Obligations, shall automatically become due and payable immediately (in the case of the Term Loan, at the Redemption Price therefor), without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Obligor.
 
(c)         If any Lender collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 10, they shall pay out the money or property in the order set forth in Section 4.01(b).
 
Section 10.03.     Prepayment Premium and Redemption Price.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Prepayment Premium (as a component of the Redemption Price) shall be due and payable at any time the Term Loan becomes due and payable prior to the Stated Maturity Date for any reason (a “Premium Event”), whether due to acceleration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (in which case it shall be due immediately, upon the giving of notice to Borrower in accordance with Section 10.02(a), or automatically, in accordance with Section 10.02(b)), by operation of law or otherwise (including, without limitation, on account of any bankruptcy filing).  In view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of such acceleration, and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable estimation and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders, the Prepayment Premium shall be due and payable upon such date.  Each Obligor hereby waives any defense to payment, whether such defense may be based in public policy, ambiguity, or otherwise.  The Obligors and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Prepayment Premium due and payable in accordance with this Agreement shall not constitute unmatured interest, whether under Section 5.02(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.  Each Obligor further acknowledges and agrees, and waives any argument to the contrary, that payment of such amount does not constitute a penalty or an otherwise unenforceable or invalid obligation.

Article 11

(d)          any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Lender as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected.
 
The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
 
-77-

Section 11.03.      Reinstatement.  The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article 11 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Persons in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such reasonable costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Law.
 
Section 11.04.      Subrogation.  The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that, until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than the Warrant Obligations and inchoate indemnity obligations), they shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by them of their guarantee in Section 11.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
 
Section 11.05.      Remedies.  The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors, on one hand, and the Lenders, on the other hand, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article 10 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article 10) for purposes of Section 11.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 11.01.
 
Section 11.06.      Instrument for the Payment of Money.  Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article 11 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that each Lender, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to proceed by motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint pursuant to N.Y. Civ. Prac. L&R § 3213.
 
Section 11.07.      Continuing Guarantee.  The guarantee in this Article 11 is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
 
Section 11.08.     Rights of Contribution.  The Guarantors hereby agree, as between themselves, that if any Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations, each other Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Guarantor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations.  The payment obligation of a Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section 11.08 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Article 11 and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations.
 
-78-

For purposes of this Section 11.08, (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, a Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) “Excess Payment” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) “Pro Rata Share” means, as of the date of determination, for any Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate present fair saleable value of all properties of such Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock of any other Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Guarantor that have been Guaranteed by such Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of all of the Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) of all of the Guarantors, determined (A) with respect to any Guarantor that is a party hereto on the Closing Date, as of such date, and (B) with respect to any other Guarantor, as of the date such Guarantor becomes a Guarantor hereunder.
 
Section 11.09.      General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations.  In any action or proceeding involving any provincial, territorial or state corporate law, or any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 11.01 would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 11.08, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 11.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
 
Article 12

Administrative Agent
 
Section 12.01.      Appointment.  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Perceptive Credit Holdings II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article 12 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Obligor will have rights as a third‑party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law.  Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
 
-79-

Section 12.02.      Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder will have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” will, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity to the extent such Person is a Lender.  The Lenders acknowledge and agree that such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, the other Obligors or any other Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Obligors as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
 
Section 12.03.     Exculpatory Provisions.  (a) The Administrative Agent will not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder are administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
 
(i)           will not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
 
(ii)        will not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as will be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent will not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Insolvency Proceeding; and
 
(iii)        will not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and will not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Obligors or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
 
(b)        The Administrative Agent will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as will be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent believes in good faith will be necessary, under the circumstances), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non‑appealable judgment.  The Administrative Agent will be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Lender.
 
-80-

(c)      The Administrative Agent will not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 6 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
 
Section 12.04.     Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent will be entitled to rely upon, and will not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and will not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of the Term Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of the Term Loan.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
 
Section 12.05.    Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article 12 will apply to any such sub‑agent and to the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent, and will apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the facility as well as activities as Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent will not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub‑agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non‑appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub‑agents.
 
Section 12.06.    Resignation of Agent.  (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower, which notice shall set forth the effective date of such resignation (the “Resignation Effective Date”), such date not to be earlier than the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of such notice.  The Majority Lenders and the Borrower shall mutually agree upon a successor to the Administrative Agent.  If the Majority Lenders and the Borrower are unable to so mutually agree and no successor shall have been appointed within twenty‑five (25) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but will not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent it shall designate (in its reasonable discretion after consultation with the Borrower and the Majority Lenders).  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation will become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
 
-81-

(b)        With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring Administrative Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent will continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent will instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor will succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent will be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent will be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article 12 and Sections 13.03 and 13.04 will continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
 
Section 12.07.    Non‑Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it will from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
 
Section 12.08.     Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any Insolvency Proceeding or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Term Loan will then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent has made any demand on the Borrower) will be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
 
-82-

(a)          to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Term Loan and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid hereunder or under any other Loan Document and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
 
(b)          to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.
 
Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make any payments of the type described above in this Section 12.08 to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent consents to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
 
Section 12.09.     Collateral and Guaranty Matters; Appointment of Collateral Agent.  (a) Without limiting the provisions of Section 12.08, the Lenders irrevocably agree as follows:
 
(i)          the Administrative Agent is authorized, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (A) on the date when all Obligations have been satisfied in full in cash (other than Warrant Obligations and contingent obligations as to which no claims have been asserted), (B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, or (C) subject to Sections 13.01 and 13.04, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders; and
 
(ii)       the Administrative Agent is authorized, at its option and discretion, to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations hereunder if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.
 
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, each Lender will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of Collateral, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty pursuant to this Section 12.09.
 
-83-

(b)         The Administrative Agent will not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Obligor in connection therewith, nor will the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
 
(c)         Each Lender hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its collateral agent under each of the Security Documents and agrees that, in so acting, the Administrative Agent will have all of the rights, protections, exculpations, indemnities and other benefits provided to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, and hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Lender and all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any of the Lenders, from time to time to (i) take any action with respect to any Collateral or any Security Document which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens on the Collateral granted pursuant to any such Security Document or protect and preserve the Administrative Agent’s ability to enforce the Liens or realize upon the Collateral, (ii) act as collateral agent for each Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding, enforcing and perfecting all Liens created by the Loan Documents and all other purposes stated therein, (iii) enter into intercreditor or subordination agreements, as the case may be, in connection with Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 9.01(e), (iv) enter into non‑disturbance or similar agreements in connection with licensing agreements and arrangements permitted by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (v) otherwise to take or refrain from taking any and all action that the Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or advisable in fulfilling its role as collateral agent under any of the Security Documents.

Miscellaneous
 
Section 13.01.     No Waiver.  No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by Law.

(ii)         Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
 
(A)         except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Term Loan, the amount of the Commitment or Term Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $500,000, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents;
 
(B)         each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and

(C)       the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
 
“Ineligible Assignee” means (a) a natural person, (b) any Competitor of any Obligor, or (c) the Obligors or any of their respective Affiliates.
 
(iii)        Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under the Loan Documents that does not comply with this Section 13.05 shall be treated for purposes of the Loan Documents as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section.
 
(d)        Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non‑fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Term Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless (i) it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph and (ii) any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section has been obtained.
 
(e)       Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, sell participations to any Person (a “Participant”), other than a natural person, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Term Loan owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection therewith.
 
-88-

(f)         Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) increase or extend the term of such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Term Loan or any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, or (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon to a level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive such interest.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.03(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.03(e) shall be delivered to the Borrower and the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.05(a), provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.03(g) as if it were an assignee under Section 13.05(a); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.03, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.04(a) as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non‑fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Term Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103‑1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
 
(g)         Certain Pledges.  Subject to Section 13.05(d), the Lenders may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any other Loan Document to secure obligations of the Lenders, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or another central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lenders from any of their obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lenders as a party hereto.
 
Section 13.06.      Survival.  The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 13.03, 13.05, 13.09, 13.10, 13.11, 13.12, 13.14, 13.15 and Article 11 (solely to the extent guaranteeing any of the obligations under the foregoing Sections) shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments and, in the case of any Lender’s assignment of any interest in the Commitments or the Term Loan hereunder, shall survive, in the case of any event or circumstance that occurred prior to the effective date of such assignment, the making of such assignment, notwithstanding that such Lenders may cease to be a “Lender” hereunder.  In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a notice of the Term Loan, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty.

(ii)         Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Grantors shall have the right to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Pledged Shares for all purposes not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided that Grantors jointly and severally agree that they will not vote the Pledged Shares in any manner that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless the Grantors receive the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent; and Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to Grantors or cause to be executed and delivered to Grantors all such proxies, powers of attorney, dividend and other orders, and all such instruments, without recourse, as Grantors may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling Grantors to exercise the rights and powers that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section 4.04(a)(ii).
 
-9-

(iii)        Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Grantors shall be entitled to receive and retain any dividends, distributions or proceeds on the Pledged Shares.
 
(iv)        If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, whether or not Administrative Agent has declared any Secured Obligations due and payable or seeks or pursues any other relief or remedy available to it under applicable law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all dividends and other distributions on the Pledged Shares shall be paid directly to Administrative Agent for distribution to Secured Parties and retained by them as part of the Collateral, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and, if Administrative Agent shall so request, Grantors jointly and severally agree to execute and deliver to Administrative Agent appropriate additional dividend, distribution and other orders and documents to that end, provided, that if such Event of Default is no longer continuing, any such dividend or distribution theretofore paid to Administrative Agent shall, upon request of Grantors (except to the extent theretofore applied to the Secured Obligations), be returned by Administrative Agent or, if applicable, the Lenders, to Grantors.
 
(b)         Intellectual Property.  (i)  Each Grantor hereby grants to Administrative Agent, with effect from the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, solely to the extent assignable, not otherwise prohibited by the documentation governing such Intellectual Property owned by Grantors, and not giving rise to any liability to or obligations on such Grantor, a non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, and the right to assign, license or sublicense, any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located, solely for the purpose of enabling Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 4.05 at such time as Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and for no other purpose. Such license includes reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
 
(ii)         Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to any provision of the Loan Documents that limits the rights of any Grantor to dispose of its property, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Grantors will be permitted to exploit, use, enjoy, protect, defend, enforce, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of the business of Grantors.  In furtherance of the foregoing, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent shall from time to time, upon the request of the respective Grantor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, that such Grantor shall have certified are appropriate in its judgment to allow it to take any action permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) as to any specific Intellectual Property).  Further, upon the payment in full of all of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made or other obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of the Credit Agreement) or earlier expiration of this Agreement or release of the Collateral, the license granted by Grantors to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(i) will automatically terminate without any further action by any party hereto.  The exercise of rights and remedies under Section 4.05 by Administrative Agent shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses, covenants not to sue or sublicenses theretofore granted by Grantors in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 4.04(b)(ii).
 
-10-

(c)         Chattel Paper. Grantors will deliver to Administrative Agent each original of each item of Chattel Paper at any time constituting part of the Collateral (other than any such Chattel Paper that does not exceed $250,000 in value at any time, unless the aggregate value of such Chattel Paper exceeds $500,000).
 
Section 4.05.    Remedies.
 
(a)         Rights and Remedies Generally upon Event of Default.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the Law in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if Administrative Agent was the sole and absolute owner thereof (and each Grantor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right).  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent may exercise, on behalf of all Secured Parties, such rights and remedies described above; and without limiting the foregoing:
 
(i)          Administrative Agent may, in its name or in the name of any Grantor or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or other property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so;
 
(ii)          Administrative Agent may make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the Collateral;
 
(iii)        Administrative Agent may require Grantors to notify (and each Grantor hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to so notify) each account debtor in respect of any Account, Chattel Paper or Payment Intangible, and each obligor on any Instrument, constituting part of the Collateral that such Collateral has been assigned to Administrative Agent hereunder, and to instruct that any payments due or to become due in respect of such Collateral shall be made directly to Administrative Agent or as it may direct (and if any such payments, or any other Proceeds of Collateral, are received by any Grantor they shall be held in trust by such Grantor for the benefit of Administrative Agent and as promptly as possible remitted or delivered to Administrative Agent for application as provided herein);
 
-11-

(iv)         Administrative Agent may require Grantors to assemble the Collateral at such place or places, convenient to Administrative Agent and Grantors, as Administrative Agent may direct;
 
(v)          Administrative Agent may require Grantors to cause the Pledged Shares to be transferred of record into the name of Administrative Agent or its nominee (and Administrative Agent agrees that if any of such Pledged Shares is transferred into its name or the name of its nominee, Administrative Agent will thereafter promptly give to the respective Grantor copies of any notices and communications received by it with respect to such Pledged Shares);
 
(vi)         Administrative Agent may sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at such place or places as Administrative Agent deems best, and for cash or for credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice as is required by the UCC or other applicable statute and cannot be waived), and the Secured Parties, Administrative Agent or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of Grantors, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.  In the event of any sale, assignment, or other disposition of any of the Collateral consisting of Trademarks, the goodwill connected with and symbolized by the Trademarks subject to such disposition shall be included.  Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned; and
 
(vii)        the Proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 4.05, including by virtue of the exercise of any license granted to Administrative Agent in Section 4.04(b), shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.09.
 
(b)         Certain Securities Act Limitations.  Grantors recognize that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Grantors acknowledge that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to Administrative Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for public sale.  Administrative Agent shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to this Section conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.  Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties or any of them arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.
 
-12-

(c)          Notice.  Grantors agree that to the extent Administrative Agent is required by applicable law to give reasonable prior notice of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, ten Business Days’ notice shall be deemed to constitute reasonable prior notice.
 
(d)          No Assumption of Obligations.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, Administrative Agent is not assuming any liability or obligation of any Grantor or any of its Affiliates of whatever nature, whether presently in existence or arising or asserted hereafter.  All such liabilities and obligations shall be retained by and remain obligations and liabilities of the applicable Grantor and/or its Affiliates, as the case may be.  Without limiting the foregoing, Administrative Agent is not assuming and shall not be responsible for any liabilities or Claims of any Grantor or its Affiliates, whether present or future, absolute or contingent and whether or not relating to a Grantor, the Obligor Intellectual Property and/or the Material Agreements, and each Grantor shall indemnify and save harmless Administrative Agent from and against all such liabilities, Claims and Liens, to the extent set forth in Section 12.03(b) of the Credit Agreement.
 
Section 4.06.   Deficiency.  If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 4.05 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations or other obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of the Credit Agreement), Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency.
 
Section 4.07.   Locations; Names, Etc.  No Grantor shall (i) change its location (as defined in Section 9-307 of the UCC), or (ii) change its name from the name shown as its current legal name on Schedule 1, unless in each case 10 days’ prior written notice shall have been given to Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).
 
Section 4.08.   [Reserved]. 
 
Section 4.09.   Application of Proceeds.  The Proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by Administrative Agent under this Section 4, shall be applied by Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 4.01(b) of the Credit Agreement.
 
-13-

Section 4.10.   Attorney in Fact and Proxy.  Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, Administrative Agent (and any of its officers, employees or agents) hereby is appointed the attorney in fact and proxy of each Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of Section 4.05 and taking any action and executing any instruments that Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof; provided that Administrative Agent shall exercise no such rights under Section 4.05 unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuting.  THIS POWER AND PROXY IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND IS IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS.  THIS POWER AND PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION BY ANY PERSON.  Each Grantor ratifies all lawful actions taken by Administrative Agent pursuant to this power and proxy granted.  All prior proxies granted by any Grantor with respect to the subject matter hereof are hereby revoked.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as Administrative Agent shall be entitled under Section 4.05 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, Administrative Agent shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of any Grantor representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.
 
Section 4.11.   Perfection and Recordation.  Each Grantor authorizes Administrative Agent to file Uniform Commercial Code financing statements describing the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property and fixtures” of such Grantor (provided that no such description shall be deemed to modify the description of Collateral set forth in Section 3).
 
Section 4.12.   Termination.  When all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made or other obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of the Credit Agreement) shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, this Agreement automatically shall terminate, and Administrative Agent shall, upon request of Grantors, promptly cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to or on the order of the respective Grantor and to be released and canceled all licenses and rights referred to in Section 4.04(b), in each case, at Grantors’ sole expense.  Administrative Agent shall also, at the expense of such Grantor, promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor upon such termination such Uniform Commercial Code termination statements, certificates for terminating the liens on the intellectual property filings and such other documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the respective Grantor to effect the termination and release of the liens on the Collateral as required by this Section 4.12, in each case, at Grantors’ sole expense.  If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by a Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement or if such Collateral otherwise becomes Excluded Assets, then Administrative Agent, at Grantors’ sole expense, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral.
 
-14-

Section 4.13.   Further Assurances.  Each Grantor agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of Administrative Agent, such Grantor will execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order fully to effectuate the purposes and objectives of this Agreement, in all cases subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement and excluding such documents, acts and things where the cost of obtaining or perfecting a security interest exceeds the practical benefit to the Lenders afforded thereby as determined by Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion after consultation with Borrower or the applicable Grantor).  Administrative Agent shall release any Lien covering any asset that has been disposed of in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents.

Exhibit 99.1


Chembio Diagnostics Announces $20 Million Term Loan with Perceptive Advisors

Medford, NY – September 4, 2019 - Chembio Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CEMI), a leading point-of-care diagnostics company focused on infectious diseases, today announced the closing of a $20 million term loan with an affiliate of Perceptive Advisors, one of the world’s leading healthcare-focused investment firms.

“We are excited to have received this capital from Perceptive Advisors, a prestigious and well-regarded healthcare investment firm.” said John Sperzel, Chembio’s Chief Executive Officer. “This capital provides flexibility to grow our business as we advance toward our 2023 revenue target of $100 million. It materially strengthens our balance sheet while significantly limiting any dilution to our current shareholders.”

Proceeds from the term loan are expected to be used to fund Chembio’s pursuit of its three corporate priorities: 1) expanding commercialization, including broadening its product portfolio and its geographic reach; 2) advancing the research and development pipeline, including building-out its infectious disease product line and leveraging its platform technology to develop point-of-care companion diagnostic, biothreat, and neurological tests; and 3) preparing for additional growth, including consolidating and expanding its U.S. facilities and automating its U.S. manufacturing.

The loan has a four-year term, with no principal payments required during the initial three years. The loan bears interest at an annual rate of 8.75% plus the greater of one-month LIBOR and 2.5%. As part of the transaction, Chembio issued to Perceptive Advisors a 7-year warrant to purchase 550,000 shares of Chembio common stock at an exercise price of $5.22, which equals the 15-day volume weighted average price of the common stock as of the day prior to closing.

Sam Chawla, Portfolio Manager of Perceptive Advisors stated, “We are pleased to provide additional capital to support Chembio’s growth strategy. We believe Chembio has a unique point-of-care technology platform, compelling product offering, and impressive pipeline. We’re excited to partner with John and his team and look forward to participating in the success of the company.”

Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor to Chembio for the transaction.
