Item 1.01
Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

Reverse Merger with Ocuphire

On June 17, 2020, Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Rexahn”), Razor Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Rexahn (“Merger Sub”), and Ocuphire Pharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ocuphire”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Ocuphire, with Ocuphire continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rexahn and the surviving corporation of the merger (the “Merger”). The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”): (a) each share of Ocuphire Common Stock (as defined below) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares held as treasury stock, shares held by Ocuphire and dissenting shares) will be converted into the right to receive shares of Rexahn common stock (the “Rexahn Common Stock”) equal to the Exchange Ratio described below; and (b) each outstanding Ocuphire stock option that has not previously been exercised prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by Rexahn.

Under the exchange ratio formula in the Merger Agreement (the “Exchange Ratio”), immediately following the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”), Rexahn’s then-current stockholders would own approximately 14.3% of the combined company’s common stock, and the former Ocuphire securityholders would own approximately 85.7% of the combined company’s common stock, in each case calculated on a fully-diluted basis, assuming Rexahn’s net cash balance at Closing is between $3.2 million and $6.0 million. The Exchange Ratio formula in the Merger Agreement is subject to adjustment for every $100,000 that Rexahn’s actual net cash balance at Closing is less than $3.2 million or more than $6.0 million. Based on Rexahn’s current estimates, Rexahn believes that it is reasonably likely to deliver significantly less than $3.2 million at Closing. If, for example, Rexahn’s actual net cash balance at Closing is $0, which is the minimum amount of net cash that Rexahn is required to deliver at Closing, then immediately following the Closing, Rexahn’s then-current stockholders would own approximately 11.2% of the combined company’s common stock, and the former Ocuphire securityholders would own approximately 88.8% of the combined company’s common stock, in each case calculated on a fully-diluted basis. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Rexahn’s stockholders’ ownership percentage in the combined company is subject to a floor of 9.1% regardless of Rexahn’s actual net cash balance at Closing, assuming Ocuphire waives the minimum net cash requirement at Closing. These ownership percentages give effect to the shares of Ocuphire Common Stock that will be issued to Investors (as defined below) in the Pre-Merger Financing (as defined below) prior to the Closing, but do not account for any additional shares of Rexahn Common Stock that may be issued following the Closing or the Investor Warrants (as defined below) issuable to Investors after Closing. As a result, Ocuphire securityholders and holders of Rexahn Common Stock could own less of the combined company than currently contemplated.

In connection with the Merger, Rexahn will prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 that will contain a proxy statement/prospectus/information statement, and will seek the approval of Rexahn’s stockholders with respect to certain actions, including, but not limited to, the following:


the issuance of Rexahn Common Stock to the Ocuphire stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the change of control of Rexahn resulting from the Merger pursuant to pertinent Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) listing rules;


the amendment of Rexahn’s certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse split of all outstanding shares of the Rexahn Common Stock at a reverse stock split ratio as mutually agreed to by Rexahn and Ocuphire; and


the amendment of Rexahn’s certificate of incorporation to change the name of Rexahn to “Ocuphire Pharma, Inc.”;

2


the adoption of the Ocuphire Pharma, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan; and


the issuance of (a) shares of Rexahn Common Stock upon the exercise of certain warrants to be issued in the Pre-Merger Financing, and (b) additional shares of Rexahn Common Stock that may be issued following the closing of the Pre-Merger Financing.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain Closing conditions, including, among other things: (i) approval by the stockholders of Rexahn and Ocuphire; (ii) the continued listing of the Rexahn Common Stock on Nasdaq and the listing of the additional Rexahn Common Stock issued in connection with the Merger on Nasdaq; (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties, subject to certain materiality qualifications; (iv) satisfaction by Rexahn of a minimum net cash at Closing requirement of $0; and (v) completion of the Pre-Merger Financing.

Under the Merger Agreement, Rexahn’s net cash at Closing is calculated as follows: (i) the sum of Rexahn’s cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accrued investment interest receivable, and any prepaid refundable deposits of Rexahn, less (ii) the sum of Rexahn’s accounts payable and accrued expenses, less (iii) all liabilities of Rexahn to any current or former officer, director, employee, consultant or independent contractor, including change of control payments, retention payments, severance and other related termination costs, or other payments pursuant to any of Rexahn’s benefit plans, less (iv) any bona fide current liabilities of Rexahn payable in cash, less (v) Rexahn’s transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Merger as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, and less (vi) certain estimated liabilities associated with Rexahn’s outstanding warrants to be calculated approximately 10 days prior to the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The estimated liabilities associated with Rexahn’s outstanding warrants will be impacted by, among other things, the volatility and trading price of shares of Rexahn Common Stock on Nasdaq.
 
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Rexahn and Ocuphire, and further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, either party may be required to pay the other party a termination fee of $750,000 or, in some circumstances, Ocuphire may be required to reimburse Rexahn’s expenses up to a maximum of $750,000.
 
Immediately after the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of Rexahn is expected to be comprised of seven members, one of whom is expected to be Richard J. Rodgers, a current member of the Rexahn board of directors, and the remaining six directors are expected to include existing Ocuphire board members and an additional director designated by Ocuphire. Following the Closing, Mina Sooch is expected to serve as Rexahn’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Also at the Effective Time, Rexahn expects to effect a name change to “Ocuphire Pharma, Inc.” and it is anticipated that Rexahn’s securities will be listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “OCUP.”
 
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by Rexahn and Ocuphire, including covenants relating to obtaining the requisite approvals of the stockholders of Rexahn and Ocuphire, indemnification of directors and officers, and Rexahn’s and Ocuphire’s conduct of their respective businesses between the date of signing of the Merger Agreement and the Closing.

Contingent Value Rights Agreement

At the Effective Time, Rexahn, Shareholder Representative Services LLC, as representative of the Rexahn stockholders prior to the Effective Time (the “CVR Representative”), and Olde Monmouth Stock Transfer Co., Inc., as the Rights Agent, will enter into a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the “CVR Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the CVR Agreement, Rexahn stockholders of record as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will receive one contingent value right (“CVR”) for each share of Rexahn Common Stock held.

Each CVR will entitle such holders to receive, for each calendar quarter (each, a “CVR Payment Period”) during the 15-year period after the Closing (the “CVR Term”), an amount equal to the following:

3


90% of all payments received by Rexahn or its affiliates during such CVR Payment Period from or on behalf of BioSense Global LLC (“BioSense”) pursuant to that certain License and Assignment Agreement, dated as of February 25, 2019, by and between BioSense and Rexahn, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated August 24, 2019, and as further amended by Amendment No. 2, dated March 10, 2020, minus certain permitted deductions;


90% of all payments received by Rexahn or its affiliates during such CVR Payment Period from or on behalf of Zhejiang HaiChang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (“HaiChang”) pursuant to that certain Exclusive License Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2020, by and between HaiChang and Rexahn, minus certain permitted deductions; and


75% of the sum of (i) all cash consideration paid by a third party to Rexahn or its affiliates during the applicable CVR Payment Period in connection with the grant, sale or transfer of rights to Rexahn’s pre-Closing intellectual property (other than a grant, sale or transfer of rights involving a sale or disposition of the post-Merger combined company) that is entered into during the 10-year period after the Closing (“Parent IP Deal”), plus (ii) with respect to any non-cash consideration received by Rexahn or its affiliates from a third party during the applicable CVR Payment Period in connection with any Parent IP Deal, all amounts received by Rexahn and its affiliates for such non-cash consideration at the time such non-cash consideration is monetized by Rexahn or its affiliates, minus (iii) certain permitted deductions.

The CVRs are not transferable, except in certain limited circumstances, will not be certificated or evidenced by any instrument, will not accrue interest and will not be registered with the SEC or listed for trading on any exchange. The CVR Agreement will be effective prior to the Closing and will continue in effect until the later of the end of the CVR Term and the payment of all amounts payable thereunder, unless and until earlier terminated upon termination of the Merger Agreement.

Voting Agreements

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain officers, directors and stockholders of Ocuphire entered into voting agreements with Rexahn and Ocuphire covering approximately 62.6% of the outstanding capital stock of Ocuphire as of the date of the Merger Agreement (the “Ocuphire Voting Agreements”). The Ocuphire Voting Agreements provide, among other things, that the directors, officers and stockholders party to the Ocuphire Voting Agreements will vote all of the shares of Ocuphire held by them in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, the approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and against any competing acquisition proposals. The Ocuphire Voting Agreements also place certain restrictions on the transfer of the shares of Ocuphire held by the respective signatories thereto.

Lock-Up Agreements

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the executive officers and directors of Rexahn and the officers, directors and certain securityholders of Ocuphire entered into lock-up agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreements”), pursuant to which they accepted certain restrictions on transfers of any shares of Rexahn Common Stock for the 180-day period following the Effective Time.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement, the CVR Agreement, the Ocuphire Voting Agreements, and the Lock-Up Agreements (collectively, the “Merger Transaction Agreements”) are not complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of those agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

4

The Merger Transaction Agreements (and the foregoing description of the Merger Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby) have been included to provide investors and stockholders with information regarding the terms of the Merger Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about Rexahn or Ocuphire or to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about Rexahn in its public reports filed with the SEC. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Transaction Agreements were made only as of specified dates for the purposes of the Merger Transaction Agreements, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Transaction Agreements and may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by such parties. In particular, in reviewing the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Transaction Agreements, it is important to bear in mind that such representations, warranties and covenants were negotiated with the principal purpose of allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. Such representations, warranties and covenants may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to stockholders and reports and documents filed with the SEC. Investors and stockholders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Transaction Agreements. Accordingly, investors and stockholders should not rely on such representations, warranties and covenants as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances described therein. Information concerning the subject matter of such representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Transaction Agreements, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the parties’ public disclosures.

Pre-Merger Financing

Securities Purchase Agreement

On June 17, 2020, Ocuphire, Rexahn and certain investors (the “Investors”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Investors agreed to invest a total of $21.15 million in cash (the “Purchase Price” and the financing arrangement described herein, the “Pre-Merger Financing”) to fund the combined company following the Merger. In return, based on an agreed upon pre-money valuation of the combined company following the Merger (the “combined company”) of $120 million, Ocuphire will issue an amount of shares (the “Initial Shares”) of Ocuphire common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Ocuphire Common Stock”) to the Investors, which shares will be exchangeable in the Merger for approximately 15% of the Pre-Merger Financing Fully Diluted Shares (as defined below). In addition, (i) Ocuphire will deposit two times the number of Initial Shares of Ocuphire Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”, and together with the Initial Shares the “Pre-Merger Financing Shares”) into escrow with an escrow agent for the benefit of the Investors, to be exchanged for Rexahn Common Stock in the Merger, and to be delivered, in whole or in part, based on the formula set forth below, out of escrow to the Investors if 85% of the average of the five lowest volume-weighted average trading prices of a share of Rexahn Common Stock on Nasdaq during the first ten trading days (or earlier at the election of any Investor) immediately following the closing date of the Pre-Merger Financing (which closing date will be the same date as the Closing of the Merger) is lower than the effective price per share paid by the Investors for the Converted Initial Shares (as defined below), and (ii) on the tenth trading day following the closing date of the Pre-Merger Financing (the “warrant closing date”), Rexahn will issue to the Investors (x) Series A warrants to purchase shares of Rexahn Common Stock, as further described below (the “Series A Warrants”) and (y) Series B warrants to purchase shares of Rexahn Common Stock, as further described below (the “Series B Warrants”, together with the Series A Warrants, the “Investor Warrants” and, together with the Pre-Merger Financing Shares, the “Purchased Securities”).

“Pre-Merger Financing Fully Diluted Shares” means the “fully-diluted” post-Merger outstanding shares of Rexahn Common Stock, which amount (i) includes all shares of Rexahn Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to in-the-money options, warrants or convertible securities, and (ii) with respect to new Rexahn warrants issued after the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement in exchange for existing Rexahn warrants shall include (A) all shares of Rexahn Common Stock that are subject to each new Rexahn warrant that is in-the-money as of the date of issuance of such new Rexahn warrant and (B) 0.5 times the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to such out-of-the-money new Rexahn warrant that is out-of-the-money as determined based on the closing sale price of Rexahn Common Stock immediately following the issuance of such Rexahn warrant, and (iii) excludes all other out-of-the-money options, warrants or convertible securities of Rexahn.

5

As a result of the Merger, at the Effective Time, each Initial Share will automatically be converted into the right to receive a number of shares (the “Converted Initial Shares”) of Rexahn Common Stock equal to the number of Initial Shares multiplied by the Exchange Ratio. Further, at the Effective Time, each Additional Share placed into escrow with the escrow agent will automatically be converted into the right to receive a number of shares (the “Converted Additional Shares”) of Rexahn Common Stock equal to the number of Additional Shares multiplied by the Exchange Ratio. The number of Converted Additional Shares deliverable out of escrow to each Investor will be determined on or prior to the warrant closing date by subtracting (i) the number of Converted Initial Shares issued to the Investor from (ii) the quotient determined by dividing (a) the pro rata portion of the Purchase Price paid by the Investor by (b) 85% of the average of the five lowest volume-weighted average trading prices of a share of Rexahn Common Stock on Nasdaq during the first ten trading days (or earlier at the election of any Investor) immediately following the Closing of the Merger, subject to the Floor Price (as defined below). Any Converted Additional Shares not deliverable to the Investors as of the warrant closing date based on the foregoing formula will be returned to Rexahn as treasury shares and cancelled. No Converted Additional Shares will be deliverable out of escrow if the foregoing formula results in a negative number. The lower of (x) the effective initial purchase price per Converted Initial Share and (y) the number obtained by the formula in clause (b) above, subject to the Floor Price, is called the “Final Purchase Price.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Converted Additional Shares will be delivered to Investors from escrow to the extent such delivery would result in such Investor, together with its affiliates and any other person whose beneficial ownership of Rexahn Common Stock would be aggregated with such Investor for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), beneficially owning in excess of 4.99% or 9.99% of the outstanding Rexahn Common Stock (including the Converted Additional Shares so delivered). In the event that Rexahn fails to timely deliver any of the Converted Initial Shares or Converted Additional Shares then Rexahn shall be obligated to pay the affected Investor on each day while such failure is continuing an amount equal to 1.5% of the market value of the undelivered shares determined using any trading price of Rexahn Common Stock selected by the holder while the failure is continuing and if an affected Investor purchases shares of Rexahn Common Stock in connection with such failure (“Buy-In Shares”), then Rexahn must, at such Investor’s discretion, reimburse such Investor for the cost of such Buy-In Shares or deliver the owed shares and reimburse the Investor for the difference between the price such Investor paid for the Buy-In Shares and the market price of such shares, measured at any time of such Investor’s choosing while the delivery failure was continuing.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, at any time during the period commencing from the six month anniversary of the closing date of the Pre-Merger Financing and ending at such time that all of the shares of Rexahn Common Stock issued or issuable in the Pre-Merger Financing, if a registration statement is not available for the resale of such shares, may be sold without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1), if Rexahn (i) shall fail for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the current public information requirements under Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act or (ii) has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) under the Securities Act or becomes such an issuer in the future, and Rexahn shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) under the Securities Act (each, a “Public Information Failure”), then Rexahn shall pay to each holder of Purchased Securities an amount in cash equal to 2.0% of such holder’s pro rata portion of the Purchase Price on the day of such Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth day thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such Public Information Failure no longer prevents a holder of Purchased Securities from selling such Purchased Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any restrictions or limitations.

The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of Ocuphire, Rexahn and the Investors. Each party’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions precedent to the closing of the Merger contained in the Merger Agreement, other than any conditions precedent relating to consummation of the Pre-Merger Financing.

The Securities Purchase Agreement restricts Rexahn from filing a registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, causing any registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC, or granting any registration rights, in each case subject to certain limited exceptions, until the date that is 90 days after the earlier of (i) such time as all of the shares of Rexahn Common Stock issued or issuable in the Pre-Merger Financing may be sold without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (the “Rule 144 Date”), (ii) the one year anniversary of the closing date of the Pre-Merger Financing, and (iii) the date that the first registration statement registering for resale shares of Rexahn Common Stock issued or issuable in the Pre-Merger Financing has been declared effective by the SEC; provided, that clause (iii) shall only apply if there are no shares held by the Investors left unregistered due to a limitation on the maximum number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock permitted to be registered by the staff of the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

6

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, until the date that is the later of (i) 180 calendar days following the closing date of the Pre-Merger Financing and (ii) the earlier of (A) 60 calendar days following the date that all Registrable Securities (as defined below) are registered for resale pursuant to one or more registration statement(s) and (B) 240 calendar days following the closing of the Pre-Merger Financing, subject to certain exceptions, neither Ocuphire nor Rexahn may (i) offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of any of its or its subsidiaries’ debt, equity or equity equivalent securities (any such offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement being referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”), or (ii) be party to any solicitations, negotiations or discussions with regard to the foregoing.

Additionally, for one year following the closing of the Pre-Merger Financing, Ocuphire, Rexahn and each of their subsidiaries shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any Subsequent Placement involving a transaction in which Ocuphire, Rexahn or any of their subsidiaries (i) issues or sells any stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ocuphire Common Stock or Rexahn Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) either (a) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Ocuphire Common Stock or Rexahn Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities, or (b) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of Ocuphire or Rexahn or the market for Ocuphire Common Stock or Rexahn Common Stock, other than pursuant to a customary “weighted average” anti-dilution provision or (ii) enters into any agreement (including, without limitation, an equity line of credit or an “at-the-market” offering) whereby Ocuphire, Rexahn or any of their subsidiaries may sell securities at a future determined price (other than standard and customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights); provided, that Rexahn will be permitted to consummate “at the market” offerings at any time after the later of (x) the date that is nine (9) months after the closing date of the Pre-Merger Financing and (y) ninety (90) days following the date the shares of Rexahn Common Stock issued and issuable in the Pre-Merger Financing are freely tradable.

The Securities Purchase Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by Ocuphire, Rexahn and the Required Holders (as defined below). No provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. “Required Holders” means (i) prior to the closing date of the Pre-Merger Financing, the Investors entitled to purchase at the closing a majority of the aggregate amount of Initial Common Shares issuable under the Securities Purchase Agreement and the aggregate amount of shares issuable under the Investor Warrants (without regard to any restriction or limitation on the exercise of the Investor Warrant contained therein) and shall include the Lead Investor (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and (ii) on or after the closing of the Pre-Merger Financing, holders of at least a majority of the aggregate amount of Purchased Securities issued and issuable under the Securities Purchase Agreement and under the Investor Warrants (without regard to any restriction or limitation on the exercise of the Investor Warrants or the delivery of the Converted Additional Shares contained therein) held by the Investors or their successors and assigns as of the applicable time of determination and shall include the Lead Investor so long as the Lead Investor or any of its affiliates holds any Purchased Securities.

Upon written notice by the non-breaching party, the Securities Purchase Agreement may be terminated and the sale and purchase of the Purchased Securities abandoned if the closing of the Pre-Merger Financing has not occurred on or before November 14, 2020, due to any party’s failure to satisfy the conditions to closing. The Securities Purchase Agreement will terminate automatically upon any termination of the Merger Agreement.

Series A Warrants

The Series A Warrants will be issued on the warrant closing date, will have an initial exercise price per share equal to 120% of per share Final Purchase Price, will be immediately exercisable and will have a term of five years from the date of issuance. The Series A Warrants issued to each Investor will initially be exercisable for an amount of Rexahn Common Stock equal to the sum of (i) the number of Converted Initial Shares issued to the Investor, (ii) the number of Converted Additional Shares delivered or deliverable to the Investor as of the warrant closing date and (iii) the number of shares, if any, underlying the Series B Warrants held by the Investor as of the warrant closing date.

7

The Series A Warrants will provide that, until the second anniversary of the date on which all shares of Rexahn Common Stock issued to the Investors (including any shares underlying Investor Warrants) are registered on one or more registration statements, if Rexahn publicly announces, issues or sells, enters into a definitive, binding agreement pursuant to which Rexahn is required to issue or sell or is deemed, pursuant to the provisions of the Series A Warrants, to have issued or sold, any shares of Rexahn Common Stock for a price per share lower than the exercise price then in effect, subject to certain limited exceptions, then the exercise price of the Series A Warrants shall be reduced to such lower price per share. Further, on each Reset Date (as defined below) the Series A Warrants will be adjusted downward (but not increased) such that the exercise price thereof becomes 120% of the Reset Price (as defined below), and the number of shares underlying the Series A Warrants will be increased (but not decreased) to the quotient of (a) (i) the exercise price in effect prior to such Reset (as defined below) multiplied by (ii) the number of shares underlying the Series A Warrants prior to the Reset divided by (b) the exercise price resulting from the Reset. In addition, the exercise price and the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants will also be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock splits, dividends or distributions or other similar transactions.

Pursuant to the Series A Warrants, Rexahn will agree not to enter into, allow or be party to certain fundamental transactions, generally including any merger with or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of Rexahn’s assets, tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification of Rexahn Common Stock (a “Fundamental Transaction”) until the 45th trading day immediately following the earlier to occur of (x) the Rule 144 Date and (y) one year after the warrant closing date (the “Reservation Date”). Thereafter, upon any exercise of a Series A 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 a Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the holder (without regard to any limitation on the exercise of the Series A Warrant), the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of Rexahn, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock for which the Series A Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation on the exercise of the Series A Warrant). Additionally, at the request of a holder delivered before the 90th day after the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, Rexahn or the surviving entity must purchase such holder’s warrant for the value calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, or, if such Fundamental Transaction is not publicly announced, the date the Fundamental Transaction is consummated.

The Series A Warrants will also contain a “cashless exercise” feature that allows the holders to exercise the Series A Warrants without making a cash payment in the event that there is no effective registration statement registering the shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants. The Series A Warrants will be subject to a blocker provision which restricts the exercise of the Series A Warrants if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates and any other person whose beneficial ownership of Rexahn Common Stock would be aggregated with the holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.99% of the outstanding Rexahn Common Stock (including the shares of Rexahn Common Stock issuable upon such exercise).

If Rexahn fails to issue to a holder of Series A Warrants the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock to which such holder is entitled upon such holder’s exercise of the Series A Warrants, then Rexahn shall be obligated to pay the holder on each day while such failure is continuing an amount equal to 1.5% of the market value of the undelivered shares determined using a trading price of Rexahn Common Stock selected by the holder while the failure is continuing and if the holder purchases shares of Rexahn Common Stock in connection with such failure (“Series A Buy-In Shares”), then Rexahn must, at the holder’s discretion, reimburse the holder for the cost of such Series A Buy-In Shares or deliver the owed shares and reimburse the holder for the difference between the price such holder paid for the Series A Buy-In Shares and the market price of such shares, measured at any time of the holder’s choosing while the delivery failure was continuing.

Further, the Series A Warrants will provide that, in the event that Rexahn does not have sufficient authorized shares to deliver in satisfaction of an exercise of a Series A Warrant, then unless the holder elects to void such attempted exercise, the holder may require Rexahn to pay an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares that Rexahn is unable to deliver and (ii) the highest volume-weighted average price of a share of Rexahn Common Stock as quoted on Nasdaq during the period beginning on the date of such attempted exercise and ending on the date that Rexahn makes the applicable payment.

The Series B Warrants will be issued to each Investor on the warrant closing date, and each Investor’s Series B Warrants will have an exercise price per share of $0.0001, will be immediately exercisable and will expire on the day following the later to occur of (i) the Reservation Date, and (ii) the date on which the Investor’s Series B Warrants have been exercised in full (without giving effect to any limitation on exercise contained therein) and no shares remain issuable thereunder. Each Investor’s Series B Warrants will be initially exercisable for an amount of Rexahn Common Stock equal to the number (if positive) obtained by subtracting (i) the sum of (a) the number of Converted Initial Shares issued to the Investor and (b) the number of Converted Additional Shares delivered or deliverable to the Investor as of the warrant closing date, from (ii) the quotient determined by dividing (a) the pro rata portion of the Purchase Price paid by the Investor by (b) 85% of the average of the five lowest volume-weighted average trading prices of a share of Rexahn Common Stock on Nasdaq during the first ten trading days (or earlier at the election of any Investor) immediately following the Closing of the Merger, subject to the Floor Price.

Additionally, every ninth trading day up to and including the 45th trading day (each, a “Reset Date”) following (i) each date on which a registration statement registering any Registrable Securities for resale by the holder is declared effective by the SEC and/or is available for use, (ii) if there is no effective Registration Statement that is available for use registering all of the shares underlying the Series B Warrant for resale by the holder, on the earlier date to occur of (x) the Rule 144 Date and (y) six months following the issuance date  (such earlier date, the “Six Month Reset Date”) and (iii) if a Public Information Failure has occurred at any time following the Six Month Reset Date, the earlier to occur of (x) the date that such Public Information Failure is cured and no longer prevents the holder from selling all underlying securities pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction or limitation and (y) the earlier to occur of (I) the Rule 144 Date and (II) one year after the issuance date (each such date provided in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), an “End Reset Measuring Date”) (such 45 trading day period, the “Reset Period” and each such 45th trading day after an End Reset Measuring Date, an “End Reset Date”), the number of shares issuable upon exercise of each Investor’s Series B Warrants shall be increased (a “Reset”) to the number (if positive) obtained by subtracting (i) the sum of (a) the number of Converted Initial Shares issued to the Investor and (b) the number of Converted Additional Shares delivered or deliverable to the Investor as of the warrant closing date, from (ii) the quotient determined by dividing (a) the pro rata portion of the Purchase Price paid by the Investor, by (b) the greater of (x) the arithmetic average of the five lowest dollar volume-weighted average prices of a share of Rexahn Common Stock on Nasdaq during the applicable Reset Period immediately preceding the applicable Reset Date to date and (y) a floor price per share (the “Floor Price”) calculated based on a pre-money valuation (of the combined company, assuming for this purpose the pre-money issuance of the Converted Initial Shares and Converted Additional Shares) of $10 million (such number resulting in this clause (b), the “Reset Price”).

Pursuant to the Series B Warrants, Rexahn will agree not to enter into, allow or be party to a Fundamental Transaction until the Reservation Date. Thereafter, upon any exercise of a Series B 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 a Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the holder (without regard to any limitation on the exercise of the Series B Warrant), the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of Rexahn, if it is the surviving corporation, and any Alternate Consideration receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock for which the Series B Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation on the exercise of the Series B Warrant).

The Series B Warrants will also contain a “cashless exercise” feature that allows the holders to exercise the Series B Warrants without making a cash payment. The Series B Warrants will be subject to a blocker provision which restricts the exercise of the Series B Warrants if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates and any other person whose beneficial ownership of Rexahn Common Stock would be aggregated with the holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.99% of the outstanding Rexahn Common Stock (including the shares of Rexahn Common Stock issuable upon such exercise).

If Rexahn fails to issue to a holder of Series B Warrants the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock to which such holder is entitled upon such holder’s exercise of the Series B Warrants, then Rexahn shall be obligated to pay the holder on each day while such failure is continuing an amount equal to 1.5% of the market value of the undelivered shares determined using a trading price of Rexahn Common Stock selected by the holder while the failure is continuing and if the holder purchases shares of Rexahn Common Stock in connection with such failure (“Series B Buy-In Shares”), then Rexahn must, at the holder’s discretion, reimburse the holder for the cost of such Series B Buy-In Shares or deliver the owed shares and reimburse the holder for the difference between the price such holder paid for the Series B Buy-In Shares and the market price of such shares, measured at any time of the holder’s choosing while the delivery failure was continuing.

9

Further, the Series B Warrants will provide that, in the event that Rexahn does not have sufficient authorized shares to deliver in satisfaction of an exercise of a Series B Warrant, then unless the holder elects to void such attempted exercise, the holder may require Rexahn to pay an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares that Rexahn is unable to deliver and (ii) the highest volume-weighted average price of a share of Rexahn Common Stock as quoted on Nasdaq during the period beginning on the date of such attempted exercise and ending on the date that Rexahn makes the applicable payment.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Pre-Merger Financing, Rexahn entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Rexahn is required to file an initial resale registration statement with respect to 135% of the maximum number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock held by or issuable to the Investors pursuant to the Series A Warrants and 100% of the maximum number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock held by or issuable to the Investors pursuant to the Series B Warrants (the “Registrable Securities”), within 15 trading days after the Closing Date. Additionally, Rexahn is required to file additional resale registration statements with respect to the Registrable Securities within 15 days of each End Reset Date, to the extent that such Registrable Securities are not already registered for resale on a prior registration statement. Rexahn will be required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of these registration statements until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investors may sell all of the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable registration statement(s) without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or any successor thereto) or (ii) the date on which the Investors have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable registration statement(s).

Subject to a limited exception, if Rexahn fails to file and obtain and maintain effectiveness of the resale registration statements required under the Registration Rights Agreement or fails, subject to limited grace periods, to maintain the effectiveness of the resale registration statements, then Rexahn shall be obligated to pay to each affected holder of Registrable Securities an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate Purchase Price of such Investor’s Registrable Securities whether or not included in such registration statement on each of the day of such failure and on every thirtieth day thereafter (pro-rated for periods of less than 30 days) until the date such failure is cured, provided that the aggregate of all such payments will not exceed 5.0% of the aggregate Purchase Price for the Investor’s Registrable Securities.

These registration rights granted under the Registration Rights Agreement are subject to certain conditions and limitations, including Rexahn’s right to delay or withdraw a registration statement under certain circumstances. The registration rights granted in the Registration Rights Agreement are subject to customary indemnification and contribution provisions.

Financing Lock-Up Agreements

In connection with the Pre-Merger Financing, Rexahn and Ocuphire will enter into additional lock-up agreements (the “Financing Lock-Up Agreements”) with each officer, director or other person that will be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, with respect to Rexahn immediately following the Closing (the “Financing Lock-Up Parties”), pursuant to which each of the Financing Lock-Up Parties will agree that until the date that is 90 calendar days after the earliest of (i) the date on which all Rexahn shares issued to the Investors (including any shares underlying warrants) are registered on one or more registration statements, (ii) such time as all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1), (iii) the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, subject to certain customary exceptions, such Financing Lock-Up Party will not and will cause its affiliates not to (A) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Rexahn Common Stock or common stock equivalents, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to any shares of Rexahn Common Stock or common stock equivalents owned directly by the Financing Lock-Up Parties (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the SEC (collectively, the “Subject Shares”), or (B) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of the Subject Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (A) or (B) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of Rexahn Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, (C) make any demand for or exercise any right or cause to be filed a registration statement, including any amendments thereto, with respect to the registration of any shares of Rexahn Common Stock or common stock equivalents or (D) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

Leak-Out Agreements

In connection with the Pre-Merger Financing, each Investor will enter into a leak-out agreement with Rexahn (collectively, the “Leak-Out Agreements”) limiting its daily sales to no more than its pro rata portion, based on such Investor’s investment amount, of 30% of the daily traded volume as reported by Bloomberg, LP.

The above summaries of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Series A Warrant, the Series B Warrant, the Financing Lock-Up Agreements and the Leak-Out Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety to the full text of each such agreement, which agreements are filed as Exhibits 10.4, 4.1, 4.2, 10.5 and 10.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are qualified herein by this reference.

Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

The Merger Agreement contemplates that Rexahn will terminate the employment of Douglas J. Swirsky, Rexahn’s President and Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately after the Effective Time, and will comply with the terms of that certain Employment Agreement, dated as of January 2, 2018, by and between Rexahn and Mr. Swirsky, as amended on November 14, 2018 (the “Swirsky Employment Agreement”). The Swirsky Employment Agreement entitles Mr. Swirsky to certain severance amounts and other benefits if Mr. Swirsky’s employment is terminated by Rexahn without Cause (as defined in the Swirsky Employment Agreement) and such termination date falls within the two-year period immediately following a Change of Control (as defined in the Swirsky Employment Agreement).

In accordance with the Merger Agreement, on June 17, 2020, the Board approved the termination of Mr. Swirsky’s employment with Rexahn, effective as of immediately following the Effective Time, as a result of which Mr. Swirsky will be entitled to the severance amounts and other benefits afforded Mr. Swirsky in connection with a termination of Mr. Swirsky’s employment by Rexahn without Cause within the two-year period immediately following a Change of Control pursuant to Section 8(c) of the Swirsky Employment Agreement, subject to Mr. Swirsky’s execution of a general release in favor of Rexahn. The termination of Mr. Swirsky’s employment is subject to and conditioned upon the closing of the Merger at the Effective Time, and therefore Mr. Swirsky shall not be terminated if the Merger is not consummated or the Merger Agreement is terminated prior to the Effective Time.

Item 8.01
Other Events.

Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of the joint press release issued by Rexahn and Ocuphire on June 17, 2020 announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains forward-looking statements (including within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) concerning Rexahn, Ocuphire, the proposed Merger, the CVR Agreement, the Pre-Merger Financing and other matters, including without limitation, statements relating to the satisfaction of the conditions to and consummation of the Merger, the expected timing of the Closing, the expected ownership percentages of the combined company and Rexahn’s estimates of its expected net cash at Closing. These statements may discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future plans, trends, events, results of operations or financial condition, or otherwise, based on current beliefs of the management of Rexahn, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. Forward-looking statements generally include statements that are predictive in nature and depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “likely,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” and other similar expressions. Statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement as a result of various factors, including, without limitation: the risk that the conditions to the Closing are not satisfied, including the failure to obtain stockholder approval for the proposed Merger in a timely manner or at all; uncertainties as to the timing of the consummation of the proposed Merger and the ability of each of Rexahn and Ocuphire to consummate the Merger; risks related to Rexahn’s ability to correctly estimate its expected net cash at Closing and estimate and manage its operating expenses and its expenses associated with the proposed Merger pending Closing; risks related to the calculation of the estimated warrant liability of Rexahn’s net cash amount being impacted by the volatility and trading price of a share of Rexahn Common Stock on Nasdaq on the calculation date and its impact on Rexahn’s expected net cash at Closing; Rexahn’s ability to meet the minimum net cash requirement at Closing; risks related to Rexahn’s continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market until Closing of the proposed Merger; risks related to the failure or delay in obtaining required approvals from any governmental or quasi-governmental entity necessary to consummate the proposed Merger; the risk that as a result of adjustments to the Exchange Ratio, Rexahn stockholders or Ocuphire stockholders could own more or less of the combined company than is currently anticipated; risks related to the market price of Rexahn Common Stock relative to the Exchange Ratio; the risk that the conditions to payment under the CVRs will be not be met and that the CVRs may otherwise never deliver any value to Rexahn stockholders; risks associated with the possible failure to realize certain anticipated benefits of the proposed Merger, including with respect to future financial and operating results; the ability of Rexahn or Ocuphire to protect their respective intellectual property rights; competitive responses to the Merger and changes in expected or existing competition; unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the proposed Merger; potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed Merger; the success and timing of regulatory submissions and pre-clinical and clinical trials; regulatory requirements or developments; changes to clinical trial designs and regulatory pathways; changes in capital resource requirements; risks related to the inability of the combined company to obtain sufficient additional capital to continue to advance its product candidates and its preclinical programs; legislative, regulatory, political and economic developments; and the effects of COVID-19 on clinical programs and business operations. The foregoing review of important factors that could cause actual events to differ from expectations should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with statements that are included herein and elsewhere, including the risk factors included in Rexahn’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. Rexahn can give no assurance that the conditions to the Merger will be satisfied. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are made only as of the date hereof or as of the dates indicated in the forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, Rexahn undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

1.1        The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, and the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease.

(a)         the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read identically to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such certificate of incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time, Parent shall file an amendment to the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation to (i) change the name of the Surviving Corporation to “OcuSub, Inc.” and (ii) make such other changes as are mutually agreed to by Parent and the Company;
 
(b)        the certificate of incorporation of Parent shall be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such certificate of incorporation, provided, however, that at the Effective Time, Parent shall file an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, to the extent approved by the requisite holders of Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 5.3, to (i) change the name of Parent to “Ocuphire Pharma, Inc.”, (ii) effect the Nasdaq Reverse Split and (iii) make such other changes as are mutually agreeable to Parent and the Company;

1.5          Conversion of Shares.
 
(a)          At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any stockholder of the Company or Parent:
 
(i)        any shares of Company Common Stock held as treasury stock or held or owned by the Company, Merger Sub or any Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; and
 
(ii)       subject to Section 1.5(c) and Section 1.9, each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(i), excluding Dissenting Shares and after giving effect to the Pre-Closing Financing and the Convertible Note Conversion) shall be automatically converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Merger Consideration”).
 
3

(b)        If any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option or a risk of forfeiture under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other similar agreement with the Company, then the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for such shares of Company Common Stock will to the same extent be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option or risk of forfeiture, and such shares of Parent Common Stock shall accordingly be marked with appropriate legends. The Company shall take all actions that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, Parent is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in any such restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement in accordance with its terms.
 
(c)        No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon surrender by such holder of a letter of transmittal in accordance with Section 1.8 and any accompanying documents as required therein, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the Parent Closing Price.
 
(d)         All Company Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Company Plan shall be treated in accordance with Section 5.4(a).

(h)         Each share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub, if any, evidencing ownership of any such shares shall, as of the Effective Time, evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
 
(i)          If, between the time of calculating the Exchange Ratio and the Effective Time, any outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split (including the Nasdaq Reverse Split to the extent such split has not been previously taken into account in calculating the Exchange Ratio), combination or exchange of shares or other like change, the Exchange Ratio shall, to the extent necessary, be equitably adjusted to reflect such change to the extent necessary to provide the holders of Company Common Stock, Company Options, Parent Common Stock, Parent Options, Parent Warrants and Replacement Warrants with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split (including the Nasdaq Reverse Split to the extent such split has not been previously taken into account in calculating the Exchange Ratio), combination or exchange of shares or other like change; provided, however, that nothing herein will be construed to permit the Company or Parent to take any action with respect to Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock, respectively, that is prohibited or not expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement.
 
4

1.6        Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (a) all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to the Pre-Closing Financing and the Convertible Note Conversion) shall be treated in accordance with Section 1.5(a), and all holders of (i) certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock and (ii) book-entry shares representing shares of Company Common Stock (“Book-Entry Shares”), in each case, that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company; and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Common Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Company Stock Certificate”) is presented to the Exchange Agent or to the Surviving Corporation, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Sections 1.5 and 1.8.
 
1.7         Contingent Value Right.
 
(a)        Holders of Parent Common Stock of record as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be entitled to one contractual contingent value right (“CVR”) issued by Parent subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contingent Value Rights Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “CVR Agreement”), for each share of Parent Common Stock held by such holders.
 
(b)        At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall authorize and duly adopt, execute and deliver, and will ensure that the Exchange Agent and CVR Representative (as defined in the CVR Agreement) execute and deliver, the CVR Agreement, subject to any reasonable revisions to the CVR Agreement that are requested by such Exchange Agent (provided that such revisions are immaterial and not, individually or in the aggregate, detrimental or adverse, taken as a whole, to any holder of a CVR). Parent and the Company shall cooperate, including by making changes to the form of CVR Agreement, as necessary to ensure that the CVRs are not subject to registration under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws.
 
(c)          Parent, the Exchange Agent and (if necessary) CVR Representative shall, at or prior to the Effective Time, duly authorize, execute and deliver the CVR Agreement.
 
1.8         Surrender of Certificates.
 
(a)          Prior to the Closing Date, Parent and the Company shall agree upon and select a reputable bank, transfer agent or trust company to act as exchange agent in the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). At the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent: (i) evidence of book-entry shares representing the Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.5(a) and (ii) cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.5(c). The Parent Common Stock and cash amounts so deposited with the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such shares, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund.
 
5

(b)         Promptly after the Effective Time, the Parties shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the Persons who were record holders of shares of Company Common Stock that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Parent may reasonably specify (including a provision confirming that delivery of Company Stock Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent shall be effected, and risk of loss and title thereto shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Company Stock Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent); and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in exchange for shares of Parent Common Stock. Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate or transfer of Book-Entry Share to the Exchange Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or Parent: (A) the holder of such Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor book-entry shares representing the Merger Consideration (in a number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock) that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5(a) (and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5(c)); and (B) the Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, shall be canceled. Until surrendered or transferred as contemplated by this Section 1.8(b), each Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive book-entry shares of Parent Common Stock representing the Merger Consideration (and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock). If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the delivery of any shares of Parent Common Stock, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an applicable affidavit with respect to such Company Stock Certificate that includes an obligation of such owner to indemnify Parent against any claim suffered by Parent related to the lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate as Parent may reasonably request. In the event of a transfer of ownership of a Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of such Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name such Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, is registered if such Company Stock Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the transfer or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. The Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions as are payable pursuant to Section 1.8(c) shall be deemed to have been in full satisfaction of any and all rights pertaining to Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Company Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.
 
(c)        No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Shares with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive in the Merger until such holder surrenders such Company Stock Certificate or transfers such Book-Entry Shares or provides an affidavit of loss or destruction in lieu thereof in accordance with this Section 1.8 (at which time (or, if later, on the applicable payment date) such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).
 
(d)         Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock as of the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Company Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates or transferred their Book-Entry Shares in accordance with this Section 1.8 shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for Parent Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock.
 
(e)         No Party shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock or to any other Person with respect to any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or for any cash amounts delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property Law, escheat Law or similar Law.
 
6

1.9         Appraisal Rights.
 
(a)      Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by stockholders who have exercised and perfected appraisal rights for such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration described in Section 1.5 attributable to such Dissenting Shares. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Company Common Stock held by them in accordance with the DGCL, unless and until such stockholders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under the DGCL. All Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their right to appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock under the DGCL (whether occurring before, at or after the Effective Time) shall thereupon be deemed to be converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, attributable to such Dissenting Shares upon their surrender in the manner provided in Sections 1.5 and 1.8.
 
(b)       The Company shall give Parent prompt written notice of any demands by dissenting stockholders received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served on the Company and any material correspondence received by the Company in connection with such demands, including the name of each dissenting stockholder and the number of shares of Company Common Stock to which the dissent relates, and Parent shall have the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands; provided that the Company shall have the right to participate in such negotiations and proceedings. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or approve any withdrawal of any such demands or agree to do any of the foregoing.
 
1.10      Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by the Surviving Corporation to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of the Company, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be fully authorized, and shall use their and its commercially reasonable efforts (in the name of the Company, in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Surviving Corporation and otherwise) to take such action.
 
1.11        Withholding. The Parties and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as such Party or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold under the Code or any other Law with respect to the making of such payment and shall be entitled to request any reasonably appropriate Tax forms, including an IRS Form W-9 or the appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable, from any recipient of payments hereunder. The payor shall provide commercially reasonable notice to the payee upon becoming aware of any such withholding obligation, and the Parties shall cooperate with each other to the extent reasonable to obtain reduction of or relief from such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid to the appropriate Person, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.
 
7

1.12       Calculation of Parent Cash Amount.

(a)       For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Determination Date” shall be the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated date for Closing, as agreed upon in good faith by Parent and the Company at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting (the “Anticipated Closing Date”). Within five (5) Business Days following the Determination Date, Parent shall deliver to the Company a schedule (the “Parent Cash Schedule”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, Parent’s good faith, estimated calculation of the Parent Cash Amount (determined in a manner substantially consistent with the manner in which such items were determined for Parent’s most recent SEC filings) (the “Parent Cash Calculation”) as of the Anticipated Closing Date prepared and certified by Parent’s principal financial officer. Parent shall make the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Parent Cash Schedule, as reasonably requested by the Company, available to the Company and, if requested by the Company, its accountants and counsel at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice.
 
(b)       Within three (3) calendar days following delivery of the Parent Cash Schedule to the Company (the “Response Date”), the Company will have the right to dispute any part of such Parent Cash Schedule by delivering a written notice to that effect (a “Dispute Notice”) to Parent. Any Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail the nature of any proposed revisions to the Parent Cash Calculation.
 
(c)       If on or prior to the Response Date, (i) the Company notifies Parent in writing that it has no objections to the Parent Cash Calculation or (ii) the Company fails to deliver a Dispute Notice as provided in Section 1.12(b), then the Parent Cash Calculation as set forth in the Parent Cash Schedule shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Parent Cash Amount at the Anticipated Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement.
 
(d)         If the Company delivers a Dispute Notice on or prior to the Response Date, then Representatives of Parent and the Company shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of the Parent Cash Amount, which agreed-upon Parent Cash Amount shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Parent Cash Amount at the Anticipated Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement.
 
(e)         If Representatives of Parent and the Company are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of the Parent Cash Amount at the Anticipated Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.12(d) within three (3) calendar days after delivery of the Dispute Notice (or such other period as Parent and the Company may mutually agree upon), then any remaining disagreements as to the Parent Cash Calculation shall be referred to Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP, provided that if such firm is unwilling or unable to serve within three (3) Business Days after any remaining disagreements are referred to it, then any remaining disagreements shall be referred to Plante Moran, PLLC, provided, further, that if such firm is unwilling or unable to serve within three (3) Business Days after any remaining disagreements are referred to it, then any remaining disagreements shall be referred to BDO USA, LLP, provided, further, that if such firm is unwilling or unable to serve within three (3) Business Days after any remaining disagreements are referred to it, then any remaining disagreements shall be referred to another independent auditor of recognized national standing mutually agreed upon by the Company and Parent (the “Accounting Firm”). Parent shall promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Parent Cash Schedule, and Parent and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within ten (10) calendar days of accepting its selection. The Company and Parent shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material related to the unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm; provided, however, that no such presentation or discussion shall occur without the presence of a Representative of each of the Company and Parent. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Accounting Firm. The determination of the Parent Cash Amount made by the Accounting Firm shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Parent Cash Amount at the Anticipated Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement, and the Parties shall delay the Closing until the resolution of the matters described in this Section 1.12(e). The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Parent and the Company in the same proportion that the disputed amount of the Parent Cash Amount that was unsuccessfully disputed by such Party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of the Parent Cash Amount (and for the avoidance of doubt the fees and expenses to be paid by Parent shall reduce the Parent Cash Amount). If this Section 1.12(e) applies as to the determination of the Parent Cash Amount at the Anticipated Closing Date described in Section 1.12(e), upon resolution of the matter in accordance with this Section 1.12(e), the Parties shall not be required to determine the Parent Cash Amount again even though the Closing Date may occur later than the Anticipated Closing Date, except that either Party may request a re-determination of the Parent Cash Amount if the Closing Date is more than thirty (30) calendar days after the Anticipated Closing Date.
 
8

(f)          Within five (5) Business Days following the end of each calendar month before the Closing Date, Parent shall provide the Company in writing its good faith estimated calculation of the Parent Cash Amount as of the last day of such calendar month.

The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status and material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry and any material modification or proposed material modification thereto.

The Company and its legal counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement, including all amendments and supplements thereto, prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and on the response to any comments of the SEC on the Proxy Statement, prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. Each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement to comply in all material respects with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff and to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after it is filed with the SEC.

Each Party shall promptly furnish to the other Party all information concerning such Party and such Party’s Affiliates and such Party’s stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.1. If Parent, Merger Sub or the Company become aware of any event or information that, pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Proxy Statement, as the case may be, then such Party, as the case may be, shall promptly inform the other Parties thereof and shall cooperate with such other Parties in filing such amendment or supplement with the SEC and, if appropriate, in mailing such amendment or supplement to Parent’s stockholders.
 
(b)       The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Parent and provide, and require its Representatives to provide, Parent and its Representatives, with all true, correct and complete information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries that is required by Law to be included in the Registration Statement or reasonably requested by Parent to be included in the Registration Statement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to Parent a consent letter of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, dated no more than two (2) Business Days before the date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective (and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent), that is customary in scope and substance for consent letters delivered by independent public accountants in connection with registration statements similar to the Registration Statement.

Following the delivery of the Tax Representation Letters, Parent and the Company shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause Parent Counsel to deliver to Parent, and Company Counsel to deliver to the Company, Tax opinions satisfying the requirements of Item 601 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act; provided, however, that Company Counsel shall also be responsible for opining that the Merger will qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, which additional opinion shall be dated as of the Closing.  In rendering their respective opinions, each of Parent Counsel and Company Counsel may require and rely upon (and may incorporate by reference) reasonable and customary representations and covenants, including the applicable Tax Representation Letters described in this Section 5.1(c) and Section 5.9(d).
 
5.2         Company Stockholder Matters.
 
(a)         Promptly after the Registration Statement shall have been declared effective under the Securities Act, and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall prepare, with the reasonable cooperation of Parent, and cause to be mailed to its stockholders an information statement (the “Information Statement”) to solicit (i) the Required Company Stockholder Vote for purposes of (within five (5) Business Days after the Registration Statement shall have been declared effective) (i) adopting and approving this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, (ii) adopting and approving an amendment of the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized shares of Company Common Stock; (iii) acknowledging that the approval given thereby is irrevocable and that such stockholder is aware of its rights to demand appraisal for its shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, a true and correct copy of which will be attached thereto, and that such stockholder has received and read a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL and (iv) acknowledging that by its approval of the Merger it is not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to its shares in connection with the Merger and thereby waives any rights to receive payment of the fair value of its capital stock under the DGCL (collectively, the “Company Stockholder Matters”). Under no circumstances shall the Company assert that any other approval or consent is necessary by its stockholders to approve the Company Stockholder Matters. The Information Statement and any other materials (including any amendments thereto) submitted to the stockholders of the Company in accordance with this Section 5.2(a) shall be subject to Parent’s advance review and reasonable approval.
 
(b)         The Company covenants and agrees that the Information Statement, including any pro forma financial statements included therein (and the letter to stockholders and form of Company Stockholder Written Consent included therewith), will not, at the time that the Information Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto is first mailed to the stockholders of the Company, at the time of receipt of the Required Company Stockholder Vote and at the Effective Time, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no covenant, representation or warranty with respect to statements made in the Information Statement (and the letter to the stockholders and form of Company Stockholder Written Consent included therewith), if any, based on information furnished in writing by Parent specifically for inclusion therein. Each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Information Statement to comply in all material respects with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC.
 
(c)       Promptly following receipt of the Required Company Stockholder Vote, the Company shall prepare and mail a notice (the “Stockholder Notice”) to every stockholder of the Company that did not execute the Company Stockholder Written Consent. The Stockholder Notice shall (i) be a statement to the effect that the Company Board determined that the Merger is advisable in accordance with Section 251(b) of the DGCL and in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company and approved and adopted this Agreement, the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions, (ii) provide the stockholders of the Company to whom it is sent with notice of the actions taken in the Company Stockholder Written Consent, including the adoption and approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions in accordance with Section 228(e) of the DGCL and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company and (iii) include a description of the appraisal rights of the Company’s stockholders available under the DGCL, along with such other information as is required thereunder and pursuant to applicable Law. The Stockholder Notice (including any amendments thereto) and any other materials submitted to the stockholders of the Company in accordance with this Section 5.2(c) shall be subject to Parent’s advance review and reasonable approval.
 
58

(d)         The Company agrees that, subject to Section 5.2(e): (i) the Company Board shall recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote to approve the Company Stockholder Matters and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit such approval from each of the Company stockholders necessary to deliver the Company Stockholder Written Consent evidencing the Required Company Stockholder Vote within the time set forth in Section 5.2(a) (the recommendation of the Company Board that the Company’s stockholders vote to adopt and approve this Agreement being referred to as the “Company Board Recommendation”); and (ii) the Company Board Recommendation shall not be withdrawn or modified (and the Company Board shall not publicly propose to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation) in a manner adverse to Parent, and no resolution by the Company Board or any committee thereof to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent or to adopt, approve or recommend (or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend) any Acquisition Proposal shall be adopted or proposed (the actions set forth in the foregoing clause (ii), collectively, a “Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change”).
 
(e)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.2(d) and subject to compliance with Section 4.5, if at any time prior to receipt of the Required Company Stockholder Vote:
 
(i)        the Company has received a written Acquisition Proposal (which Acquisition Proposal did not arise out of a material breach of Section 4.5) from any Person that has not been withdrawn and after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Offer, the Company Board may make a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change, if and only if: (A) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law; (B) the Company shall have given Parent prior written notice of its intention to consider making a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change at least three (3) Business Days prior to making any such Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change (a “Company Determination Notice”) (which notice shall not constitute a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change); and (C) (1) the Company shall have provided to Parent a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal in accordance with Section 4.5(b), (2) the Company shall have given Parent three (3) Business Days after delivery of the Company Determination Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make another proposal and shall have made its Representatives reasonably available to negotiate in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any, and (3) after considering the results of any such negotiations and giving effect to the proposals made by Parent, if any, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Offer and that the failure to make the Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.2(e)(i) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Acquisition Proposal and require a new Company Determination Notice, except that the references to three (3) Business Days shall be deemed to be two (2) Business Days.
 
59

(ii)      other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board may make a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Company Change in Circumstance, if and only if: (A) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law; (B) the Company shall have given Parent a Company Determination Notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to making any such Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change; and (C) (1) the Company shall have specified the Company Change in Circumstance in reasonable detail, (2) the Company shall have given Parent the three (3) Business Days after delivery of the Company Determination Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make another proposal, and shall have made its Representatives reasonably available to negotiate in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent desires to do so) with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any, and (3) after considering the results of any such negotiations and giving effect to the proposals made by Parent, if any, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, that the failure to make the Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Company Change in Circumstance would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.2(e)(ii) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Company Change in Circumstance and require a new Company Determination Notice, except that the references to three (3) Business Days shall be deemed to be two (2) Business Days.
 
(iii)       The Company’s obligation to solicit the consent of its stockholders to sign the Company Stockholder Written Consent in accordance with Section 5.2(a) and Section 5.2(d) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Superior Offer or other Acquisition Proposal or by any withdrawal or modification of the Company Board Recommendation.

(b)        The Parent Stockholders’ Meeting shall be held as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. Parent shall take reasonable measures to ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting are solicited in compliance with all applicable Law.

(d)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(c) and subject to compliance with Section 4.4, if at any time prior to the approval of Parent Stockholder Matters by the Required Parent Stockholder Vote:
 
(i)         Parent has received a written Acquisition Proposal (which Acquisition Proposal did not arise out of a material breach of Section 4.4), the Parent Board shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Offer, the Parent Board may make a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change, if and only if: (A) the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Parent Board to Parent’s stockholders under applicable Law; (B) Parent shall have given the Company prior written notice of its intention to consider making a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change at least three (3) Business Days prior to making any such Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change (a “Parent Determination Notice”) (which notice shall not constitute a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change); and (C) (1) Parent shall have provided to the Company a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal in accordance with Section 4.4(b), (2) Parent shall have given the Company the three (3) Business Days after delivery of the Parent Determination Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make another proposal and shall have made its Representatives reasonably available to negotiate in good faith with the Company (to the extent the Company desires to negotiate) with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any, and (3) after considering the results of any such negotiations and giving effect to the proposals made by the Company, if any, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Parent Board shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Offer and that the failure to make the Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Parent Board to Parent’s stockholders under applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.3(d)(i) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Acquisition Proposal and require a new Parent Determination Notice, except that the references to three (3) Business Days shall be deemed to be two (2) Business Days.
 
61

(ii)    Other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, the Parent Board may make a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Parent Change in Circumstance, if and only if: (A) the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Parent Board to Parent’s stockholders under applicable Law; (B) Parent shall have given the Company a Parent Determination Notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to making any such Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change; and (C) (1) Parent shall have specified the Parent Change in Circumstance in reasonable detail, (2) Parent shall have given the Company the three (3) Business Days after delivery of the Parent Determination Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make another proposal, and shall have made its Representatives reasonably available to negotiate in good faith with the Company (to the extent the Company desires to do so) with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any, and (3) after considering the results of any such negotiations and giving effect to the proposals made by the Company, if any, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Parent Board shall have determined, in good faith, that the failure to make the Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Parent Change in Circumstance would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Parent Board to Parent’s stockholders under applicable Law.

62

5.4          Company Options, Parent Options, and Parent Warrants.
 
(a)         At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Company Plan, whether or not vested, shall be converted into and become an option to purchase Parent Common Stock, and Parent shall assume the Company Plan and each such Company Option in accordance with the terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) of the Company Plan and the terms of the stock option agreement by which such Company Option is evidenced (but with changes to such documents as Parent and the Company mutually agree are appropriate to reflect the substitution of the Company Options by Parent to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock). All rights with respect to Company Common Stock under Company Options assumed by Parent shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to Parent Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (i) each Company Option assumed by Parent may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Company Option assumed by Parent shall be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; (iii) the per share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Company Option assumed by Parent shall be determined by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (iv) any restriction on the exercise of any Company Option assumed by Parent shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Company Option shall otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that: (A) to the extent provided under the terms of a Company Option and the Company Plan, such Company Option may be further adjusted as necessary to reflect Parent’s substitution of the Company Options with options to purchase Parent Common Stock (such as by making any change in control or similar definition relate to Parent and having any provision that provides for the adjustment of Company Options upon the occurrence of certain corporate events relate to corporate events that relate to Parent and/or Parent Common Stock); and (B) the Parent Board or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to each Company Option assumed by Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4(a), the conversion of each Company Option (regardless of whether such option qualifies as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) into an option to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock shall be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1, such that the conversion of a Company Option shall not constitute a “modification” of such Company Option for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code.
 
(b)       Parent shall file with the SEC, promptly after the Effective Time, a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or alternative form), relating to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to Company Options assumed by Parent in accordance with Section 5.4(a).
 
(c)         Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions that may be necessary (under the Company Plan and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.4(a) and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, holders of Company Options have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in Section 5.4(a).
 
63

(d)       Prior to the Closing, the Parent Board shall have adopted appropriate resolutions and taken all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that each unexpired, unexercised and unvested Parent Option granted under the 2013 Plan shall be accelerated in full effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. Effective as of the Effective Time, each outstanding and unexercised Parent Option granted under the 2013 Plan having an exercise price per share less than the Parent Closing Price shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock calculated by dividing (a) the product of (i) the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock previously subject to such Parent Option, and (ii) the excess of the Parent Closing Price over the exercise price per share of the Parent Common Stock previously subject to such Parent Option by (b) the Parent Closing Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the tax withholding obligations for each holder receiving shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be satisfied by Parent withholding from issuance that number of shares of Parent Common Stock calculated by multiplying the maximum statutory withholding rate for such holder in connection with such issuance by the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in accordance with the preceding sentence, and rounding up to the nearest whole share. Each outstanding and unexercised Parent Option granted under the 2013 Plan that has an exercise price equal to or greater than the Parent Closing Price shall be terminated and cease to exist as of immediately prior to the Effective Time for no consideration. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall take all actions that may be necessary (under the 2013 Plan and otherwise, including, if it deems it necessary or desirable, adopting and approving amendments to the existing underlying grant agreements) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 5.4(d) and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, holders of Parent Options granted under the 2013 Plan have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 5.4(d).
 
(e)         At the Effective Time, each Parent Option granted under the 2003 Plan that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall survive the Closing and remain outstanding in accordance with its terms.
 
(f)          Promptly after the date of this Agreement, and in any event within twenty (20) days before the Effective Time, Parent shall notify the holders of the Parent Warrants of the Contemplated Transactions in accordance with the terms of the applicable Parent Warrants, which notice shall be subject to the review and approval of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). At the Effective Time, each Parent Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall survive the Closing and remain outstanding in accordance with its terms. At the Effective Time, each Replacement Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be treated in accordance with its terms.
 
5.5          Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
 
(a)        From the Effective Time through the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director, officer, fiduciary or agent of Parent or the Company and their respective Subsidiaries, respectively (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and investigation costs, incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the D&O Indemnified Party is or was a director, officer, fiduciary or agent of Parent or of the Company or their respective Subsidiaries, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. Each D&O Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, jointly and severally, upon receipt by Parent or the Surviving Corporation from the D&O Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided that any such person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to Parent, to the extent then required by the DGCL, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.

Each Party agrees to cooperate fully with the other Party and to execute and deliver such further documents, certificates, agreements and instruments and to take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to evidence or reflect the Contemplated Transactions and to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
 
10.10     Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
 
10.11     Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any Party does not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breaches such provisions. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.
 
10.12     No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than the Parties and the D&O Indemnified Parties to the extent of their respective rights pursuant to Section 5.5) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

(d)       As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

(f)         Any reference to legislation or to any provision of any legislation shall include any modification, amendment, re-enactment thereof, any legislative provision substituted therefore and all rules, regulations, and statutory instruments issued or related to such legislations.

(h)         The Parties agree that each of the Company Disclosure Schedule and the Parent Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Agreement. The disclosures in any section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule shall qualify other sections and subsections in this Agreement to the extent it is readily apparent on its face from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections and subsections.

Number of Shares of Common Stock:

 
Date of Issuance:
[●], 20201 (“Issuance Date”)

Ocuphire Pharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [HOLDER], the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, at any time or times on or after the date hereof, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date, (as defined below), [INSERT IN SERIES A WARRANT:___________________ (__________)2 fully paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock] [INSERT IN SERIES B WARRANT: a number of fully paid nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the Maximum Eligibility Number], subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Warrant Shares”).  Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Warrant”), shall have the meanings set forth in Section 18.  This Warrant is one of the [INSERT IN SERIES A WARRANT: Series A] [INSERT IN SERIES B WARRANT: Series B] Warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “SPA Warrants”) issued pursuant to Section 1 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of June [•], 2020 (the “Subscription Date”), by and among the Company, Ocuphire Pharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ocuphire Private Company”), and the investors (the “Buyers”) referred to therein (as may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the definitions ascribed to such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
 

1 Insert the Warrant Closing Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement).
2 Insert 100% of the sum of (i) the number of Exchange Shares issued in exchange for the number of Initial Common Shares (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) purchased by the Holder pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, (ii) the number of Exchange Shares issued in exchange of the number of Additional Common Shares (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) delivered or deliverable to the Holder pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement without giving effect to any limitation on delivery to the Holder pursuant to Section 1(c)(iv) of the Securities Purchase Agreement and (iii) the Initial Maximum Eligibility Number (as defined in the Series B Warrants).
 

1.        EXERCISE OF WARRANT.
 
(a)  Mechanics of Exercise.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, in whole or in part, by (i) delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant and (ii) (A) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) [INSERT IN SERIES A WARRANT: if the provisions of Section 1(d) are applicable,] by notifying the Company that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)).  The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder, nor shall any ink-original signature or medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) with respect to any Exercise Notice be required.  Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.  On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Holder has delivered the applicable Exercise Notice to the Company, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Exercise Notice to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”).  On or before the applicable Share Delivery Date, the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and (A) the applicable Warrant Shares are subject to an effective resale registration statement in favor of the Holder or (B) if exercised via Cashless Exercise, at a time when Rule 144 would be available for immediate resale of the applicable Warrant Shares by the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or (A) the applicable Warrant Shares are not subject to an effective resale registration statement in favor of the Holder and (B) if exercised via Cashless Exercise, at a time when Rule 144 would not be available for immediate resale of the applicable Warrant Shares by the Holder, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise.  The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent and all fees and expenses with respect to the issuance of Warrant Shares via DTC, if any, including, without limitation, for same day processing.  Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as the case may be.  If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than two (2) Trading Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.  No fractional Warrant Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.  The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination. While any SPA Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall use a transfer agent that participates in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program. [INSERT IN SERIES B WARRANT: NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF THIS WARRANT TO THE CONTRARY, NO MORE THAN THE MAXIMUM ELIGIBILITY NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES SHALL BE EXERCISABLE IN THE AGGREGATE HEREUNDER.]  For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 1(c) below, the Company shall not be required to cash settle the exercise of this Warrant if an effective resale registration statement is not in place at the time of exercise.
 

(b)  Exercise Price.  For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $[•]3 per share, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
 
(c)  Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities.  If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC, for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant or (II) if the Registration Statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “Unavailable Warrant Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares and the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than as is required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (x) so notify the Holder and (y) deliver the Warrant Shares electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a “Notice Failure” and together with the event described in clause (I) above, an “Exercise Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (X) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the applicable Share Delivery Date and during such Exercise Failure an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, and (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable date of delivery of the applicable Exercise Notice and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date, and (Y) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Exercise Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the voiding of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise.  In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below or (II) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock relating to the applicable Exercise Failure (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such shares of Common Stock shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC, as applicable, and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the date of delivery of the applicable Exercise Notice and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date.  Nothing herein shall limit the 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 certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
 

3 [INSERT IN SERIES A WARRANT: Insert 120% of the Final Per Share Price (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), rounded to four decimal places.]
 
[INSERT IN SERIES B WARRANT: Insert 0.0001.]
 

(d)  Cashless Exercise.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, [INSERT IN SERIES A WARRANT: if the Registration Statement covering the resale of the Unavailable Warrant Shares is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares,] the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
 
Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)
B
 
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
 
A= the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
 
B= as applicable: (i) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(68) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Eligible Market for the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof or (iii) the Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if the date of such Exercise Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day.
 
C= the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
 

If shares of Common Stock are issued pursuant to this Section 1(d), the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares for purposes of Rule 144(d), shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 1(d).
 
(e)  Disputes.  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 12.
 
(f)  Beneficial Ownership Limitation on Exercises.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of [4.99] [9.99]%4 (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including the [INSERT IN SERIES A WARRANT: Series B] [INSERT IN SERIES B WARRANT: Series A] Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(f).  For purposes of this Section 1(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”).  For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”).  If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) promptly notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(f), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares.  For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm in writing or by electronic mail 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 and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported.  In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio and any portion of this Warrant so exercised shall be reinstated, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares.  As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares.  Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of SPA Warrants that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder.  For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act.  No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(f) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.  The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.  For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 1(c) below, in no event shall the Company be required to cash settle any Excess Shares.
 

4 Insert Maximum Percentage as indicated on the Buyer’s signature page attached to the Securities Purchase Agreement.
 

(g)  Insufficient Authorized Shares.  If at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exercise of this Warrant at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to: (i) until the Reservation Date, [INSERT IN SERIES A WARRANT: 135% of the number of Warrant Shares issued and issuable pursuant to the SPA Warrants determined in accordance with Section 2(d) assuming a Reset Price equal to the Reset Floor Price without giving effect to any limitation on exercise set forth therein] [INSERT IN SERIES B WARRANT: the number of Warrant Shares issued and issuable pursuant to the SPA Warrants assuming that the Maximum Eligibility Number is determined based on a Reset Price equal to the Reset Floor Price without giving effect to any limitation on exercise set forth therein] and (ii) thereafter, [INSERT IN SERIES A WARRANT: 135%] [INSERT IN SERIES B WARRANT: 100%] of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of this Warrant then outstanding without regard to any limitation on exercise included herein (the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), as applicable, the “Required Reserve Amount” and the failure to have such sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock, an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for this Warrant then outstanding.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.  In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information Statement on Schedule 14C.  In the event that upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares to deliver in satisfaction of such exercise, then unless the Holder elects to void such attempted exercise, the Holder may require the Company to pay to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days of the applicable exercise, cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company is unable to deliver pursuant to this Section 1(g) and (ii) the highest Weighted Average Price during the period beginning on the date of such attempted exercise and the date that the Company makes the applicable cash payment.
 

2.    ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES.  The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
 
(a)  [INSERT IN SERIES B WARRANT: Intentionally omitted.] [INSERT IN SERIES A WARRANT: Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock.  If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date to and including the second (2nd) anniversary of the date all Registrable Securities (without regard to any Cutback Shares (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement)) are registered for resale pursuant to one or more Registration Statement(s), the Company publicly announces, issues or sells, enters into a definitive, binding agreement pursuant to which the Company is required to issue or sell or, in accordance with clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 2(a), is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Securities) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such public announcement, issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale or entry into such a definitive, binding agreement (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price.  Upon each such adjustment of the Exercise Price hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.  For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 2(a), the following shall be applicable (in each case, rounded to four decimal places):
 
(i)          Issuance of Options.  If the Company in any manner grants or sells or enters into a definitive, binding agreement pursuant to which the Company is required to grant or sell, or the Company publicly announces the issuance or sale of, any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share.  For purposes of this Section 2(a)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option less any consideration paid or payable by the Company with respect to such one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of such Option, upon exercise of such Option and upon conversion exercise or exchange of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option.  No further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
 

(ii)        Issuance of Convertible Securities.  If the Company in any manner issues or sells, or enters into a definitive, binding agreement pursuant to which the Company is required to grant or sell or the Company publicly announces the issuance or sale of, any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share.  For the purposes of this Section 2(a)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security less any consideration paid or payable by the Company with respect to such one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Security and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Security.  No further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made upon the actual issuance of such shares of Common Stock upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(a), no further adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
 
(iii)       Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion.  If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock increases or decreases at any time, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares, which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold.  For purposes of this Section 2(a)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Subscription Date are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the shares of Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease.  No adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(a) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect or a decrease in the number of Warrant Shares.
 

(iv)        Calculation of Consideration Received.  If any Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (as determined by the Holder, the “Primary Security”, and such Option and/or Convertible Security and/or Adjustment Right, the “Secondary Securities”), together comprising one integrated transaction, (or one or more transactions if such issuances or sales or deemed issuances or sales of securities of the Company either (A) have at least one investor or purchaser in common, (B) are consummated in reasonable proximity to each other and/or (C) are consummated under the same plan of financing) the aggregate consideration per share of Common Stock with respect to such Primary Security shall be deemed to be equal to the difference of (x) the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock was issued (or was deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) or Section 2(a)(ii), as applicable) in such integrated transaction solely with respect to such Primary Security, minus (y) with respect to such Secondary Securities, the sum of (I) the Black Scholes Consideration Value of each such Option, if any, (II) the fair market value (as determined by the Holder in good faith) or the Black Scholes Consideration Value, as applicable, of such Adjustment Right, if any, and (III) the fair market value (as determined by the Holder) of such Convertible Security, if any, in each case, as determined on a per share basis in accordance with this Section 2(a)(iv). If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value) will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value) will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Prices of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Stock, Option or Convertible Security, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value) will 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). The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a calculation pursuant to this Section 2(a)(iv) would result in an Exercise Price that is lower than the par value of the Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be deemed to equal the par value of the Common Stock.
 
(v)        Record Date.  If the Company takes a record of the holders of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will 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.


(vi)       No Readjustments. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Exercise Price has been adjusted pursuant to this Section 2(a) and the Dilutive Issuance that triggered such adjustment does not occur, is not consummated, is unwound or is cancelled after the facts for any reason whatsoever, in no event shall the Exercise Price be readjusted to the Exercise Price that would have been in effect if such Dilutive Issuance had not occurred or been consummated.]
 
(b)  Voluntary Adjustment By Company.  The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, with the prior written consent of the Holder, (i) reduce the then current Exercise Price and/or (ii) increase the then current number of Warrant Shares, in each case, to any amount or number and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
(c)  Adjustment Upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.  If the Company at any time on or after the Closing Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time on or after the Closing Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased.  Any adjustment under this Section 2(c) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
 
(d)  Resets[INSERT IN SERIES A WARRANT: On each Reset Date the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the applicable Reset Price.  Upon each Reset Date, the number of Warrant Shares issuable immediately prior to such reset shall be increased, but in no event decreased, to the number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying (x) the  Exercise Price in effect on the Issuance Date (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassification, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events related to the Common Stock occurring after the Issuance Date), or if a Reset Date has occurred hereunder, the Reset Price in effect on the immediately preceding Reset Date (in each case, as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassification, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events related to the Common Stock occurring after such Reset Date), as applicable, by (y) the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such reset (which number of Warrant Shares, for the avoidance of doubt, shall give effect to any prior exercises of this Warrant) without regard to any limitation on exercise included herein, and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such reset.]  [INSERT IN SERIES B WARRANT: The Maximum Eligibility Number shall be increased (but not decreased) on each Reset Date to equal the applicable Reset Share Amount.]


(e)  [INSERT IN SERIES A WARRANT: Other Events.  If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2 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), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares, as mutually determined by the Company’s Board of Directors and the Required Holders, so as to protect the rights of the Holder; provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 2(e) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2.]
 
3.       RIGHTS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS.  If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property, Options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the Closing Date, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Distribution (and any Distributions declared or made on such initial Distribution or on any subsequent Distribution held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
 

4.        PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.
 
(a)  Purchase Rights.  In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time following the Closing Date the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).
 
(b)  Fundamental Transactions.  The Company shall not enter into, allow or be a party to a Fundamental Transaction until the Reservation Date. If, at any time after the Reservation Date until this Warrant ceases to be outstanding, a Fundamental Transaction occurs or is consummated, then, 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 Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 1(f) on the exercise of this Warrant), 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 Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 1(f) on the exercise of this Warrant).  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 share of Common Stock in such 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 a 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 Fundamental Transaction.  The Company shall cause any successor entity in a 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 in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders (without unreasonable delay) prior to such 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 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 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 Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Required Holders. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company in this Warrant.
 

(c)  [INSERT IN SERIES A WARRANTS: Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, at the request of the Holder delivered before the ninetieth (90th) day after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or the Successor Entity) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five (5) Business Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the effective date of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if such Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with such Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with such Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the Successor Entity (which Successor Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction.  The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within the later of (i) five (5) Business Days of the Holder’s election and (ii) the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction.]
 
5.       NONCIRCUMVENTION.  The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, 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, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, so long as any of the SPA Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the SPA Warrants, the Required Reserve Amount of shares of Common Stock.
 

6.        WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant.  In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.  Notwithstanding this Section 6, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.
 
7.        REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.
 
(a)  Transfer of Warrant.  If this Warrant is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.
 
(b)  Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.
 
(c)  Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants.  This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, that no SPA Warrants for fractional Warrant Shares shall be given.
 

(d)  Issuance of New Warrants.  Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.
 
8.        NOTICES.  Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 10(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.  The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Warrant, including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will give written notice to the Holder (i) immediately upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the shares of Common Stock, (B) with respect to any grants, issuances or sales of any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property to holders of shares of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation; provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder.  It is expressly understood and agreed that the time of exercise specified by the Holder in each Exercise Notice shall be definitive and may not be disputed or challenged by the Company.
 
9.        AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended or waived and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Required Holders. Any change, amendment or waiver pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be binding on the Holder of this Warrant and all holders of the SPA Warrants.  [INSERT IN SERIES A WARRANTS: Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the date that is ten (10) Trading Days immediately following the Reservation Date, the provisions of this Warrant may be amended or waived and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Holder.]
 

10.      GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; JURY TRIAL.  This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  The Company hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to the Company at the address set forth in Section 10(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder.  THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
 
11.      CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS.  This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all the Buyers and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof.  The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.
 

12.      DISPUTE RESOLUTION.  In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and the Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile or electronic mail within one (1) Business Day of receipt of the Exercise Notice giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to the Holder.  If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the Warrant Shares within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Holder, then the Company shall, within one (1) Business Day submit via facsimile or electronic mail (a) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Holder and approved by the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the Company’s independent, outside accountant.  The Company shall cause at its expense the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations.  Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.
 
13.    REMEDIES, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF.  The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).  No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy.

(d)         Allocation of Registrable Securities.  The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase or decrease in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time the Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase or decrease thereof is declared effective by the SEC.  In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers any of such Investor’s Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor.  Any shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Investors which are covered by such Registration Statement.  In no event shall the Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.
 
(e)          Legal Counsel.  Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Required Holders shall have the right to select one legal counsel to review and oversee any registration pursuant to this Section 2 (“Legal Counsel”), which shall be Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP or such other counsel as thereafter designated by the Required Holders.  The Company and Legal Counsel shall reasonably cooperate with each other in performing the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.
 
(f)          Ineligibility for Form S-3.  In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.
 
8

(g)          Sufficient Number of Shares Registered.  In the event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a), Section 2(b) or Section 2(c) is insufficient to cover the Required Registration Amount of Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement or an Investor’s allocated portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(d), the Company shall amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) days after the necessity therefor arises.  The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.  For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock available for resale under the Registration Statement is less than the Required Registration Amount as of such time.  The calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants, and (i) until the Reservation Date, such calculation shall assume that the Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants are then exercisable in full into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of (x) 135% of the number of Series A Warrant Shares issued and issuable pursuant to the Series A Warrants determined in accordance with Section 2(d) of the Series A Warrants assuming a Reset Price (as defined in the Series A Warrants) equal to the Reset Floor Price without giving effect to any limitation on exercise set forth therein and (y) 100% of the number of Series B Warrant Shares issued and issuable pursuant to the Series B Warrants assuming that the Maximum Eligibility Number (as defined in the Series B Warrant) is determined based on a Reset Price (as defined in the Series B Warrants) equal to the Reset Floor Price without giving effect to any limitation on exercise set forth therein, and (ii) thereafter, the sum of (x) 135% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of the Series A Warrants then outstanding without giving effect to any limitation on exercise set forth therein and (y) 100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exercise of all of the Series B Warrants then outstanding without giving effect to any limitation on exercise set forth therein.

(h)          Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement.  If (x) a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the applicable Filing Deadline (a “Filing Failure”) or (B) not declared effective by the SEC on or before the applicable Effectiveness Deadline, (an “Effectiveness Failure”) or (y) on any day after the applicable Effective Date sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement cannot be made (other than during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in Section 3(r)) pursuant to such Registration Statement or otherwise (including, without limitation, because of the suspension of trading or any other limitation imposed by an Eligible Market, a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, a failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, a failure to register a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock or a failure to maintain the listing of the Common Stock) (a “Maintenance Failure”), then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Registrable Securities (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance or the additional obligation of the Company to register any Cutback Shares), the Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to 1.0% of the aggregate Purchase Price (as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) of such Investor’s Registrable Securities whether or not included in such Registration Statement on each of the following dates: (i) the day of a Filing Failure; (ii) the day of an Effectiveness Failure; (iii) the initial day of a Maintenance Failure; (iv) on the thirtieth day after the date of a Filing Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Filing Failure is cured; (v) on the thirtieth day after the date of an Effectiveness Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; and (vi) on the thirtieth day after the initial date of a Maintenance Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Maintenance Failure is cured.  The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2(h) are referred to herein as “Registration Delay Payments.”  In no event shall the aggregate amount of all Registration Delay Payments payable to an Investor exceed 5.0% of the aggregate Purchase Price of such Investor’s Registrable Securities.  Registration Delay Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the dates set forth above and (II) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured.  In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not be obligated to make any Registration Delay Payments with respect to any Effectiveness Failure resulting from the failure to register any Cutback Shares.
 
 3.           Related Obligations.
 
At such time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), 2(b), 2(c), 2(f) or 2(g), the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:
 
10

(a)          The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline).  On and after the applicable Effective Date, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep each Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investors may sell all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or any successor thereto) promulgated under the 1933 Act or (ii) the date on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”).  The Company shall ensure that each Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading.  The term “commercially reasonable efforts” shall mean, among other things, that the Company shall submit to the SEC, within two (2) Business Days after the later of the date that (i) the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the staff of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement, as the case may be, and (ii) the approval of Legal Counsel pursuant to Section 3(c) (which approval is immediately sought), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of such request.  The Company shall respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of a Registration Statement as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that an amendment is required in order for a Registration Statement to be declared effective.
 
(b)          The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to an effective Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement.  In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.
 
(c)          The Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon (i) a Registration Statement at least three (3) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to all Registration Statements (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC, and (B) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects.  The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto without the prior approval of Legal Counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Company shall furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge, (i) copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Registration Statement, (ii) unless the following are filed with the SEC through EDGAR and are available to the public through the EDGAR system, promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, and all exhibits and (iii) unless the following are filed with the SEC through EDGAR and are available to the public through the EDGAR system, upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, one copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto.  The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel in performing the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3.

11

(d)        The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge, upon request, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, ten (10) copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.
 
(e)          The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale by Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) following the applicable Effective Date, prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.  The Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
 
(f)         The Company shall notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event but in any event on the same Trading Day as such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and, subject to Section 3(r), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and, if requested by an Investor, unless filed with the SEC through EDGAR and available to the public through the EDGAR system, deliver one copy of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel and each Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel or such Investor may reasonably request).  The Company shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel and each Investor by facsimile or email on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.  By 9:30 a.m. New York City time on the Trading Day following the date any post-effective amendment has become effective, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement.
 
12

(g)        The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
 
(h)          If any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter or an Investor believes that it could reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, at the reasonable request of such Investor, the Company shall furnish to such Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors.
 
(i)          If any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter or an Investor believes that it could reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, the Company shall make available for inspection by (i) such Investor, (ii) Legal Counsel and (iii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Investors (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to an Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement.  Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential.  Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and any Investor) shall be deemed to limit the Investors’ ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.
 
13

(j)         The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement.  The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
 
(k)        The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts either to (i) cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or (ii) secure the inclusion for quotation of all of the Registrable Securities on the Principal Market or (iii) if, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts, the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to secure the inclusion for quotation on an Eligible Market for such Registrable Securities and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) as such with respect to such Registrable Securities.  The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(k).
 
(l)         The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investors may request.
 
(m)          If requested by an Investor, the Company shall as soon as practicable (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by an Investor holding any Registrable Securities.

14

(n)         The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.
 
(o)          The Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions of Rule 158 under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the applicable Effective Date of a Registration Statement.
 
(p)          The Company shall otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration hereunder.
 
(q)         Within two (2) Business Days after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
 
(r)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Effective Date, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company and its counsel, in the best interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a “Grace Period”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Investors in writing of the existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company will not disclose the content of such material, non-public information to the Investors) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) notify the Investors in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided further, that no Grace Period shall exceed five (5) consecutive Trading Days and during any three hundred sixty five (365) day period such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of forty (40) days and the first day of any Grace Period must be at least five (5) Trading Days after the last day of any prior Grace Period (each, an “Allowable Grace Period”).  For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice.  The provisions of Section 3(g) hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period.  Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(f) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no longer applicable.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale, prior to the Investor’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled.
 
15

(s)          Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify any Investor as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the SEC, the Principal Market or any Eligible Market and any Investor being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from including the disclosure found in the “Plan of Distribution” section attached hereto as Exhibit B in the Registration Statement.
 
(t)          Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Buyers in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.
 
4.           Obligations of the Investors.
 
(a)          At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated Filing Date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from each such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of such Investor’s Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement.  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete any registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.
 
(b)          Each Investor, by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
 
16

(c)         Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.
 
(d)          Each Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act as applicable to it or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

  5.           Expenses of Registration.
 
All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the Company.  The Company shall also reimburse the Investors for the fees and disbursements of Legal Counsel in connection with the registration, filing or qualification pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement, which amount shall be limited to $10,000 for each such registration, filing or qualification without the prior written consent of the Company
 
 6.           Indemnification.
 
 In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:
 
(a)           To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor, the directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively, “Claims”), incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:  (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Violations set forth in this Section 6(a) are intended to apply, and shall apply, to direct claims asserted by any Buyer against the Company as well as any third party claims asserted by an Indemnified Person (other than a Buyer) against the Company.  Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a):  (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d); and (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.

17

(b)          In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c), such Investor shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.

(c)          Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and, the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for all such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as applicable, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as the case may be, and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Investors holding at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates.  The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim.  The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.  No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent.  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party.  Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.  The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.  The provisions of this Section 6(c) shall not apply to direct claims between the Company and a Buyer.
 
19

(d)          The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.
 
(e)         The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
 
 7.           Contribution.
 
To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that:  (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
 
 8.           Reports Under the 1934 Act.
 
With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), the Company agrees to, so long as an Investor owns Registrable Securities:
 
(a)          make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
 
(b)          file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
 
(c)          furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company (unless such report or document is already publicly available), and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
 
20

 9.           Assignment of Registration Rights.
 
The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by the Investors to any transferee of all or any portion of such Investor’s Registrable Securities if:  (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
 
10.         Amendment of Registration Rights.
 
Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders.  Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company.  No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Registrable Securities.  No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.
 
11.         Miscellaneous.
 
(a)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall not be effective unless and until the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated. This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon termination of the Securities Purchase Agreement if such termination occurs prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
 
(b)          A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities.  If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from such record owner of such Registrable Securities.
 
(c)          Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered:  (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon delivery, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party), (iii) upon delivery, when sent by electronic mail (provided that the sending party does not receive an automated rejection notice); or (iv) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.  The addresses, facsimile numbers and e-mail addresses for such communications shall be:

(d)           Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.
 
(e)          All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
 
23

(f)           If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.  The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
 
(g)        This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the instruments referenced herein and therein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.  There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein.  This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
 
(h)           Subject to the requirements of Section 9, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the permitted successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto.
 
(i)           The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
 
(j)         This Agreement may be executed in identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.  This Agreement, once executed by a party, may be delivered to the other party hereto by facsimile transmission or electronic mail of a copy of this Agreement bearing the signature of the party so delivering this Agreement.
 
(k)          Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
(l)          All consents and other determinations required to be made by the Investors pursuant to this Agreement shall be made, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, by the Required Holders, determined as if all of the Warrants held by Investors then outstanding  have been exercised for Registrable Securities without regard to any limitations on exercise of the Warrants.
 
24

(m)         The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
 
(n)          This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.
 
(o)          The obligations of each Investor hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any obligations on any Investor vis-à-vis any other Investor.  Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated herein.

Re:
Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
[We are][I am] counsel to Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation to be renamed “Ocuphire Pharma, Inc.” (the “Company”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization among the Company, Razor Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Ocuphire Pharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ocuphire Private Company”), dated as of June [•], 2020, and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of [●], 2020 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), entered into by and among the Company, Ocuphire Private Company, and the buyers named therein (collectively, the “Holders”) pursuant to which Ocuphire Private Company issued to the Holders shares of common stock, [•] par value per share, of Ocuphire Private Company, and the Company issued to the Holders two series of warrants (the “Warrants”) exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”).  Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).  In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ____________ ___, 20__, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-_____________) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names each of the Holders as a selling stockholder thereunder.
 
In connection with the foregoing, [we][I] advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised [us][me] by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and [we][I] have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

A-1

This letter shall serve as our standing instruction to you that the shares of Common Stock are freely transferable by the Holders pursuant to the Registration Statement.  You need not require further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance or reissuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holders as contemplated by the Company’s Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions dated [●].
 
 
Very truly yours,

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders, upon exercise of the warrants.  For additional information regarding the issuances of those shares of common stock and the warrants, see “Private Placement of Common Shares and Warrants” above.  We are registering the Common Stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time.  Except for the ownership of the shares of common stock and the warrants, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
 
The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders.  The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of the shares of common stock and the warrants, as of ________, 20__, assuming exercise of the warrants held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises.
 
The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
We are registering the shares of common stock issued and issuable upon exercise of the warrants to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders of the common stock warrants from time to time after the date of this prospectus.  We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock.  We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.
 
The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents.  If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions.  The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.  These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,
 

on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
 

in the over-the-counter market;
 

in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
 

through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
 

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
 

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 

privately negotiated transactions;
 

short sales;
 

sales pursuant to Rule 144;
 

broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
 

a combination of any such methods of sale; and
 

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
Annex I-3

If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved).  In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume.  The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales.  The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
 
The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the warrants or shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.  The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
 
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.
 
Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.  In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
 
There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
 
Annex I-4

The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person.  Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.  All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.
 
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $[     ] in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any.  We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreements, or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution.  We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.
 
Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

2.           CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS
 
2.1          CVRs; Appointment of Rights Agent.
 
(a)        Each Holder is entitled to one CVR for each share of Parent Common Stock held by such Holder as of the Record Time. The CVRs represent the rights of Holders to receive contingent cash payments pursuant to the Merger Agreement and this Agreement. The initial Holders will be the holders of Parent Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.
 
(b)        Parent hereby appoints the Rights Agent to act as rights agent for Parent as contemplated hereby in accordance with the express terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (and no implied terms or conditions), and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment.
 
2.2          Nontransferable. The CVRs shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, other than through a Permitted Transfer.
 
2.3          No Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address.
 
(a)          The CVRs will not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.
 
(b)       The Rights Agent will create and keep a register (the “CVR Register”) for the purpose of registering CVRs and transfers of CVRs as permitted herein. The CVR Register will be created, and CVRs will be distributed, pursuant to written instructions to the Rights Agent from Parent. The CVR Register will initially show one position for Cede & Co. representing all the shares of Parent Common Stock held by DTC on behalf of the street name holders of the shares of Parent Common Stock held by such holders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Rights Agent will have no responsibility whatsoever directly to the street name holders with respect to transfers of CVRs unless and until such CVRs are transferred into the name of such street name holders in accordance with Section 2.2 of this Agreement. With respect to any payments to be made under Section 2.4(c) below, the Rights Agent will accomplish the payment to any former street name holders of shares of Parent Common Stock by sending one lump payment to DTC. The Rights Agent will have no responsibilities whatsoever with regard to the distribution of payments by DTC to such street name holders.
 
(c)       Subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 2.2, every request made to transfer a CVR must be in writing and accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, personal representative or survivor and setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the transfer. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent will, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form and the transfer otherwise complies with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 2.2), register the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer of a CVR, but Parent and Rights Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or governmental charge that is imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Agreement that requires the payment by a Holder of applicable taxes or charges unless and until the Rights Agent is satisfied that all such taxes or charges have been paid or will be paid. All duly transferred CVRs registered in the CVR Register will be the valid obligations of Parent and will entitle the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement as those held immediately prior to the transfer by the transferor. No transfer of a CVR will be valid until registered in the CVR Register.
 
6

(d)          A Holder may make a written request to the Rights Agent to change such Holder’s address of record in the CVR Register. The written request must be duly executed by the Holder. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent will promptly record the change of address in the CVR Register.
 
(e)          Parent will provide written instructions to the Rights Agent for the distribution of CVRs to holders of Parent Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Record Time”). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Parent’s prompt confirmation of the Effective Time, the Rights Agent shall effect the distribution of the CVRs, less any applicable tax withholding, to each holder of Parent Common Stock as of the Record Time by the mailing of a statement of holding reflecting such CVRs.
 
2.4          Payment Procedures.
 
(a)         Within thirty (30) days after the end of each CVR Payment Period during the CVR Term, Parent shall deliver to the CVR Representative and Rights Agent a CVR Payment Statement for such CVR Payment Period. Concurrent with the delivery of each CVR Payment Statement, Parent shall provide the CVR Representative with reasonable documentation to support its calculation of the Aggregate CVR Payment Amount (including any allocations applied when calculating the Parent IP Payment Amount component thereof and including its determination of the applicable fair market value(s)) and pay the Rights Agent in U.S. dollars an amount equal to the Aggregate CVR Payment Amount (if any) with respect to the applicable CVR Payment Period. For clarity, to the extent that any non-cash consideration in the Parent IP Payment Amount is monetized after the end of the CVR Term, Parent will include a description of such non-cash consideration in the CVR Payment Statement for the CVR Payment Period in which it is received, and will make the applicable payment to the Rights Agent upon monetization of such non-cash consideration (regardless of whether such monetization occurs after the end of the CVR Term). The CVR Payment Statements shall reflect any Representative Losses payable to the CVR Representative, and the CVR Payment Statement for the first CVR Payment Period shall include the payment of $60,000 to the CVR Representative, in any case, deducted from the CVR Payment payable to the Holders on a pro rata basis.
 
(b)       All payments by Parent to the Rights Agent under this Agreement shall be made in U.S. dollars. The rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of currency equivalent in U.S. dollars shall be made at the average of the closing exchange rates reported in The Wall Street Journal (U.S., Eastern Edition) for the ten (10) Business Days preceding the date of the CVR Payment Statement.
 
7

(c)         The Rights Agent will promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a CVR Payment Statement under Section 2.4(a), send each Holder at its address set forth on the CVR Register a copy of such statement. If the Rights Agent also receives any payment under Section 2.4(a) (each, a “CVR Payment”), then within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of each CVR Payment, the Rights Agent will also pay to each Holder, by check mailed to the address of each Holder as reflected in the CVR Register as of the close of business on the date of the receipt of the CVR Payment Statement, such Holder’s CVR Payment Amount, and to the extent applicable, pay any Representative Losses to the CVR Representative. Upon the first CVR Payment to be made hereunder, the Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to pay $60,000 to the CVR Representative.
 
(d)       Parent and the Rights Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any CVR Payment Amount otherwise payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, in each case directly or through an authorized payroll agent, such amounts as are reasonably determined to be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or any other provision of any applicable federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over or deposited with the relevant Tax authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Holder(s) to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid or delivered. Prior to making any such Tax withholdings or causing any such Tax withholdings to be made with respect to any Holder, the Rights Agent shall, to the extent practicable, provide notice to the Holder of such potential withholding and a reasonable opportunity for the Holder to provide any necessary Tax forms (including an IRS Form W-9 or an applicable IRS Form W-8) in order to avoid or reduce such withholding amounts; provided that the time period for payment of a CVR Payment Amount by the Rights Agent set forth in Sections 2.4(c) shall be extended by a period equal to any delay caused by the Holder providing such forms; provided, further, that in no event shall such period be extended for more than ten (10) Business Days, unless otherwise requested by the Holder for the purpose of delivering such forms and agreed to by the Rights Agent.
 
(e)         Any portion of any CVR Payment that remains undistributed to the Holders six months after the CVR Payment is received by the Rights Agent from the Parent, provided that the Rights Agent has fully complied with Section 2.4(c), will be delivered by the Rights Agent to Parent, upon demand, and any Holder will thereafter look only to Parent for payment of its share of such returned CVR Payment, without interest.
 
(f)        Neither Parent nor the Rights Agent will be liable to any person in respect of any CVR Payment Amount delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If, despite Parent’s and/or the Rights Agent’s reasonable best efforts to deliver a CVR Payment Amount to the applicable Holder, such CVR Payment Amount has not been paid immediately prior to the date on which such CVR Payment Amount would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such CVR Payment Amount will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto. In addition to and not in limitation of any other indemnity obligation herein, Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Rights Agent with respect to any liability, penalty, cost or expense Rights Agent may incur or be subject to in connection with transferring such property to Parent.
 
8

2.5          No Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest in Parent.
 
(a)          The CVRs will not have any voting or dividend rights, and interest will not accrue on any amounts payable on the CVRs to any Holder.
 
(b)          The CVRs will not represent any equity or ownership interest in Parent or in any constituent company to the Merger.
 
(c)         Each Holder acknowledges and agrees to the appointment and authority of the CVR Representative to act as the exclusive representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of such Holder and all Holders as set forth in this Agreement. Each Holder agrees that such Holder will not challenge or contest any action, inaction, determination or decision of the CVR Representative or the authority or power of the CVR Representative and will not threaten, bring, commence, institute, maintain, prosecute or voluntarily aid any action, which challenges the validity of or seeks to enjoin the operation of any provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions related to the authority of the CVR Representative to act on behalf of such Holder and all Holders as set forth in this Agreement.
 
2.6        Ability to Abandon CVR. A Holder may at any time, at such Holder’s option, abandon all of such Holder’s remaining rights in a CVR by transferring such CVR to Parent without consideration therefor.

3.           THE RIGHTS AGENT

(b)        whenever the Rights Agent will deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Rights Agent may, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, request and rely upon an Officer’s Certificate with respect to such matter;
 
(c)          the Rights Agent may engage and consult with counsel of its selection and the written advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;
 
9

(d)          the permissive rights of the Rights Agent to do things enumerated in this Agreement will not be construed as a duty;
 
(e)         the Rights Agent will not be required to give any note or surety in respect of the execution of such powers or otherwise in respect of the premises;
 
(f)         Parent agrees to indemnify Rights Agent for, and hold Rights Agent harmless against, any loss, liability, claim, demands, suits or expense arising out of or in connection with Rights Agent’s duties under this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending Rights Agent against any claims, charges, demands, suits or loss, unless such loss has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a result of Rights Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful or intentional misconduct; and
 
(g)         Parent agrees (i) to pay the fees and expenses of the Rights Agent in connection with this Agreement as agreed upon in writing by Rights Agent and Parent on or prior to the date hereof, and (ii) to reimburse the Rights Agent for all taxes and governmental charges, reasonable expenses and other charges of any kind and nature incurred by the Rights Agent in the execution of this Agreement (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the Rights Agent’s net income and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes)). The Rights Agent will also be entitled to reimbursement from Parent for all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by it in connection with the administration by the Rights Agent of its duties hereunder.
 
3.3          Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
 
(a)         The Rights Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to Parent and the CVR Representative specifying a date when such resignation will take effect, which notice will be sent at least sixty (60) days prior to the date so specified. Parent has the right to remove the Rights Agent at any time by a Board Resolution specifying a date when such removal will take effect. Notice of such removal will be given by Parent to the Rights Agent, which notice will be sent at least sixty (60) days prior to the date so specified.
 
(b)         If the Rights Agent provides notice of its intent to resign, is removed or becomes incapable of acting, Parent, by a Board Resolution, will as soon as is reasonably possible appoint a qualified successor Rights Agent who, unless otherwise consented to in writing by the CVR Representative, shall be a stock transfer agent or national reputation or the corporate trust department of a commercial bank. The successor Rights Agent so appointed will, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4, become the successor Rights Agent.
 
(c)          Parent will give notice to each Holder of each resignation and each removal of a Rights Agent and each appointment of a successor Rights Agent by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail to the Holders as their names and addresses appear in the CVR Register. Each notice will include the name and address of the successor Rights Agent. If Parent fails to send such notice within ten (10) Business Days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Rights Agent, the successor Rights Agent will cause the notice to be mailed at the expense of Parent.
 
10

3.4         Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Rights Agent appointed hereunder will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Parent and to the retiring Rights Agent an instrument accepting such appointment and a counterpart of this Agreement, and thereupon such successor Rights Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, will become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Rights Agent. On request of Parent or the successor Rights Agent, the retiring Rights Agent will execute and deliver an instrument transferring to the successor Rights Agent all the rights (except such rights of the predecessor Rights Agent which survive pursuant to Section 3.3 of this Agreement), powers and trusts of the retiring Rights Agent.
 
4.           COVENANTS
 
4.1         List of Holders. Parent will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Rights Agent in such form as Parent receives from Parent’s transfer agent (or other agent performing similar services for Parent), the names and addresses of the Holders within ten (10) Business Days of the Effective Time.
 
4.2         Payment of CVR Payment Amounts. If any CVR Payment is due under Section 2.4(a), Parent will deposit the CVR Payment with the Rights Agent for payment to the Holders in accordance with Section 2.4(c).
 
4.3         License Agreements. Without the prior written consent of Holders of not less than a majority of the then-outstanding CVRs, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall (i) amend, restate, supplement, terminate or otherwise modify either of the License Agreements in a manner materially adversely affecting the Holders’ rights under this Agreement, (ii) take any action or fail to take any action, including by waiving any right or failing to enforce any right under either of the License Agreements, in a manner materially adversely affecting the Holders’ rights under this Agreement or (iii) permit or agree to any of the foregoing. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent and its Affiliates shall pursue their rights under each of the License Agreements in good faith, and not take any action intended to avoid, reduce, or materially delay any payment to the Holders hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall require Parent or any of its Affiliates to take any action outside of the terms and conditions set forth in the License Agreements, including, without limitation, the prosecution or maintenance of any intellectual property rights that may revert back to Parent or its Affiliates under the terms of the License Agreements.
 
4.4         Records. Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, keep true, complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to enable the Holders and their consultants or professional advisors to confirm (a) whether any payments related to either License Agreement giving rise to any CVR Payment Amounts have been received by Parent or its successors or Affiliates and (b) the applicable CVR Payment Amount payable to each Holder hereunder in accordance with the terms specified in this Agreement.
 
11

4.5         Audit Rights.
 
(a)          Upon the written request of the CVR Representative provided to Parent not less than forty-five (45) days in advance (such request not to be made more than four times in any twelve (12) month period), Parent shall permit, and shall cause its Affiliates to permit, the Independent Accountant to have access during normal business hours to such of the records of Parent or its Affiliates as may be reasonably necessary to determine the accuracy of the Aggregate CVR Payment Amount reported by Parent. Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, furnish to the Independent Accountant such access, work papers and other documents and information reasonably necessary for the Independent Accountant to calculate and verify the Aggregate CVR Payment Amount; provided that Parent may, and may cause its Affiliates to, redact documents and information not relevant for such calculation pursuant to this Section 4.5. The Independent Accountant shall disclose to Parent and the CVR Representative any matters directly related to its findings to the extent reasonably necessary to verify the Aggregate CVR Payment Amount.
 
(b)        If the Independent Accountant concludes that a CVR Payment that was properly due was not paid to the Rights Agent, or that any CVR Payment made was in an amount less than the amount due, Parent shall pay the CVR Payment or underpayment thereof to the Rights Agent for further distribution to the Holders (such amount being the “CVR Shortfall”). The CVR Shortfall shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after the date the Independent Accountant delivers to Parent and the CVR Representative the Independent Accountant’s written report. The decision of the Independent Accountant shall be final, conclusive and binding on Parent and the Holders, shall be non-appealable and shall not be subject to further review. The fees charged by the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Parent.
 
(c)         Each Person seeking to receive information from Parent in connection with a review pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall enter into, and shall cause its accounting firm to enter into, a reasonable and mutually satisfactory confidentiality agreement with Parent or any controlled Affiliate obligating such party to retain all such information disclosed to such party in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.

(a)         Subject to Section 5.1 (which amendments pursuant to Section 5.1 may be made without the consent of the Holders), with the consent of Holders of not less than a majority of the then-outstanding CVRs, whether evidenced in writing or taken at a meeting of the Holders, CVR Representative, Parent, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Rights Agent may enter into one or more amendments hereto for the purpose of adding, eliminating or changing any provisions of this Agreement, even if such addition, elimination or change is materially adverse to the interest of the Holders. Parent and the Rights Agent agree to fully cooperate with the CVR Representative in soliciting and obtaining the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the then-outstanding CVRs as required hereunder.
 
(b)         Promptly after the execution by Parent, the CVR Representative and the Rights Agent of any amendment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.2, Parent will mail (or cause the Rights Agent to mail) a notice thereof by first class mail to the Holders at their addresses as they appear on the CVR Register, setting forth in general terms the substance of such amendment.

13

5.4         Effect of Amendments. Upon the execution of any amendment under this Section 5, this Agreement will be modified in accordance therewith, such amendment will form a part of this Agreement for all purposes and every Holder will be bound thereby.
 
6.           CVR REPRESENTATIVE
 
6.1         Appointment of CVR Representative. To the extent valid and binding under applicable Law, the CVR Representative is hereby appointed, authorized and empowered to be the exclusive representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of each Holder, with full power of substitution, to make all decisions and determinations and to act (or not act) and execute, deliver and receive all agreements, documents, instruments and consents on behalf of and as agent for each Holder at any time in connection with, and that may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the intent and implement the provisions of this Agreement and to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation for purposes of (i) negotiating and settling, on behalf of the Holders, any dispute that arises under this Agreement after the Effective Time, (ii) confirming the satisfaction of Parent’s obligations under this Agreement and (iii) negotiating and settling matters with respect to the amounts to be paid to the Holders pursuant to this Agreement.
 
6.2         Authority. To the extent valid and binding under applicable Law, the appointment of the CVR Representative by the Holders upon the Effective Time is coupled with an interest and may not be revoked in whole or in part (including, without limitation, upon the death or incapacity of any stockholder). Subject to the prior qualifications, such appointment shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, estates, personal representatives, officers, directors, security holders, successors and assigns of each Holder. To the extent valid and binding under applicable Law, all decisions of the CVR Representative shall be final and binding on all Holders. Parent and the Rights Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, without independent investigation, any act, notice, instruction or communication from the CVR Representative and any document executed by the CVR Representative on behalf of any Holder and shall be fully protected in connection with any action or inaction taken or omitted to be taken in reliance thereon, absent willful misconduct by Parent or the Rights Agent (as such willful misconduct is determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The CVR Representative shall not be responsible for any loss suffered by, or liability of any kind to, the Holders arising out of any act done or omitted by the CVR Representative in connection with the acceptance or administration of the CVR Representative’s duties hereunder, unless such act or omission directly resulted from the CVR Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event of any losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) incurred by the CVR Representative (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the CVR Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, the CVR Representative will provide Parent and the Rights Agent with a written notice of such Representative Loss, which will be deducted from the next CVR Payment and paid by the Rights Agent to the CVR Representative; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the CVR Representative, the CVR Representative will pay the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct to the Rights Agent for further distribution to the Holders. In no event will the CVR Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Holders or otherwise. Parent, the Company and the Rights Agent acknowledge and agree that the CVR Representative has entered into this Agreement solely in such capacity, and the CVR Representative shall not be responsible for any loss suffered by, or liability of any kind to, Parent, the Company, the Rights Agent or any other person except for losses or liabilities arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and directly caused by the CVR Representative’s actions.  The exculpation of the CVR Representative set forth in this Section 6.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the CVR Representative.
 
14

6.3         Successor CVR Representative. The CVR Representative may be removed for any reason or no reason by written consent of Holders of not less than a majority of the then-outstanding CVRs. The CVR Representative may resign upon twenty (20) days’ written notice to Parent and the Rights Agent in the event of circumstances rendering it impracticable for the CVR Representative to continue to effectively serve, including amendments increasing the CVR Representative’s responsibilities without its consent or failure to pay amounts due to the CVR Representative, and upon the effectiveness of such resignation, shall have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder. In the event that the CVR Representative becomes unable to perform its responsibilities hereunder or resigns or is removed from such position, Holders of not less than a majority of the then-outstanding CVRs shall be authorized to and shall select another representative to fill such vacancy and such substituted representative shall be deemed to be the CVR Representative for all purposes of this Agreement. The newly-appointed CVR Representative shall notify Parent, the Rights Agent and any other appropriate Person in writing of its appointment, provide evidence that the Holders of not less than a majority of the then-outstanding CVRs approved such appointment and provide appropriate contact information for purposes of this Agreement. Parent and the Rights Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, without independent investigation, the identity and validity of such newly-appointed CVR Representative as set forth in such written notice. In the event that within thirty (30) days after the CVR Representative becomes unable to perform its responsibilities hereunder or resigns or is removed from such position, no successor CVR Representative has been so selected, Parent shall cause the Rights Agent to notify the Person holding the largest quantity of the outstanding CVRs (and who is not Parent or, to the Rights Agent’s actual knowledge, any Affiliate of Parent) that such Person is the successor CVR Representative, and such Person shall be the successor CVR Representative hereunder. If such Person notifies the Rights Agent in writing that such Person declines to serve, the Rights Agent shall forthwith notify the Person holding the next-largest quantity of the outstanding CVRs (and who is not Parent or, to the Rights Agent’s actual knowledge, any Affiliate of Parent) that such next-largest-quantity Person is the successor CVR Representative, and such next-largest-quantity Person shall be the successor CVR Representative hereunder. (And so on, to the extent as may be necessary.) The Holders are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.3. If a successor CVR Representative is not appointed pursuant to the preceding procedure within sixty (60) days after the CVR Representative becomes unable to perform its responsibilities hereunder or resigns or is removed from such position, Parent shall appoint a successor CVR Representative.
 
6.4        Termination of Duties and Obligations. The CVR Representative’s duties and obligations under this Agreement shall survive until no CVRs remain outstanding or until this Agreement expires or is terminated pursuant to Section 7.7, whichever is earlier.

In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder will affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.
 
7.3         Parent Successors and Assigns.
 
(a)         Parent may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the CVR Representative, provided that (i) Parent may assign, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other party, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to one or more direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Parent for so long as they remain wholly owned subsidiaries of Parent (each, an “Assignee”); provided that the Assignee agrees to assume and be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that in connection with any assignment to an Assignee, Parent shall, and shall agree to, remain liable for the performance by such Assignee of all obligations of Parent hereunder, with such Assignee substituted for Parent under this Agreement, and (ii) Parent may assign this Agreement in its entirety without the consent of any other party to its successor in interest in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or of its stock, or in connection with a merger, acquisition or similar transaction (such successor in interest, the “Acquiror”, and such transaction, the “Acquisition”). This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Parent’s successors, acquirers and each Assignee. Each reference to “Parent” in this Agreement shall be deemed to include Parent’s successors, acquirers and all Assignees. Each of Parent’s successors, acquirers and assigns shall expressly assume by an instrument supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Rights Agent, the due and punctual payment of the CVR Payments and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and obligations of this Agreement to be performed or observed by Parent.
 
(b)         Any Person into which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the stock transfer or other shareholder services business of the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent, shall be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such Person would be eligible for appointment as a successor Rights Agent under the provisions of the Agreement. The purchase of all or substantially all of the Rights Agent’s assets employed in the performance of transfer agent activities shall be deemed a merger or consolidation for purposes of this Section 7.3(b).
 
17

7.4         Benefits of Agreement. Parent and the Rights Agent hereby agree that the respective covenants and agreements set forth herein are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the CVR Representative (on behalf of itself and the Holders) and the Holders, acting by the written consent of Holders of not less than a majority of the then-outstanding CVRs, all of whom are intended third-party beneficiaries hereof. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, will give to any Person (other than the Rights Agent, Parent, Parent’s successors and permitted assignees, and the Holders and their respective successors and permitted assignees) any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the Rights Agent, Parent, Parent’s successors and permitted assignees, and the Holders and their respective successors and permitted assignees. The rights of Holders are limited to those expressly provided in this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Holder may agree to renounce, in whole or in part, such Holder’s rights under this Agreement by written notice to the Rights Agent and Parent, which notice, if given, shall be irrevocable.  In such event, such Holder’s CVRs will not be included for determining the number of outstanding CVRs held by other Holders and the Aggregate CVR Payment Amount shall be distributed to the Holders based on the number of the CVRs then outstanding.
 
7.5        Governing Law. This Agreement, the CVRs and all claims and causes of action based upon, arising out of or in connection herewith shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to Laws that may be applicable under conflicts of laws principles (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
 
Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, any Delaware state court, or federal court of the United States of America, sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such Legal Proceeding except in such courts, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such Legal Proceeding may be heard and determined in such court, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Legal Proceeding in any such court, and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Legal Proceeding in any such court. Each of the parties agrees that a final judgment in any such Legal Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.
 
7.6         Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
 
18

7.7         Counterparts and Signature. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, including by electronic transmission, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
 
7.8        Termination. This Agreement will expire and be of no force or effect, the parties hereto will have no liability hereunder (other than with respect to monies due and owing by Parent to Rights Agent or any other rights of the Rights Agent which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement), and no additional payments will be required to be made, upon the later of (i) the conclusion of the CVR Term and (ii) the payment of the full amount of all CVR Payments to the Rights Agent and the payment of the full amount of all CVR Payment Amounts to the Holders by the mailing by the Rights Agent of each applicable CVR Payment Amount to each Holder at the address reflected in the CVR Register.
 
7.9         Funds. All funds received by the Rights Agent under this Agreement that are to be distributed or applied by the Rights Agent in the performance of services hereunder (the “Funds”) shall be held by the Rights Agent as agent for the Parent and deposited in one or more bank accounts to be maintained by the Rights Agent in its name as agent for the Parent. Until paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Rights Agent will hold the Funds through such accounts in: deposit accounts of commercial banks with Tier 1 capital exceeding $1 billion or with an average rating above investment grade by S&P (LT Local Issuer Credit Rating), Moody’s (Long Term Rating) and Fitch Ratings, Inc. (LT Issuer Default Rating) (each as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P.). The Rights Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any diminution of the Funds that may result from any deposit made by the Rights Agent in accordance with this paragraph, including any losses resulting from a default by any bank, financial institution or other Third Party. The Rights Agent may from time to time receive interest, dividends or other earnings in connection with such deposits. The Rights Agent shall not be obligated to pay such interest, dividends or earnings to the Parent, any Holder or any other party.
 
7.10       Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Merger Agreement (including the schedules, annexes and exhibits thereto, the documents and instruments referred to therein and the documents delivered pursuant thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or therein, are not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder. If and to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent or conflicts with the Merger Agreement, this Agreement will govern and control.

EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.11.

Exhibit 10.2
 
VOTING AGREEMENT
 
This VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of June     , 2020, among Ocuphire Pharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and the undersigned stockholder (the “Stockholder”) of the Company.
 
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholder is the sole record and beneficial owner of and has the sole power to vote (or to direct the voting of) the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company, set forth opposite the Stockholder’s name on Schedule I hereto (such Common Stock, together with any other shares of the Company (“Shares”) the voting power of which is acquired by such Stockholder during the Voting Period (as defined below), are collectively referred to herein as the “Subject Shares”);
 
WHEREAS, the Company, Parent, and Razor Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), are concurrently entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated on or about the date hereof (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”);
 
WHEREAS, the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby requires the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Common Stock outstanding; and
 
WHEREAS, as an inducement to the Company’s and Parent’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, transactions from which the Stockholder believes it will derive substantial benefits through its ownership interest in the Company, the Stockholder is entering into this Agreement.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
 
SECTION 1.1    Capitalized Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.
 
ARTICLE II
 VOTING AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY
 
SECTION 2.1      Agreement to Vote.
 
(a)       The Stockholder hereby agrees that, within five (5) Business Days after the Registration Statement becomes effective, the Stockholder shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Company, a written consent (a “Written Consent”) approving the Stockholder Approval Matters (as defined below). The Written Consent shall be coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. As used herein, the term “Expiration Time” shall mean the earliest to occur of (i) the Effective Time and (ii) the date and time of the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, and the term “Voting Period” shall mean such period of time between the date hereof and the Expiration Time.
 

(b)          The Stockholder hereby agrees that, during the Voting Period, and at any duly called meeting of the stockholders of the Company (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), or in any other circumstances (including action by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting) upon which a vote, adoption or other approval or consent with respect to the adoption of the Merger Agreement or the approval of the Merger and any of the transactions contemplated thereby is sought, the Stockholder shall, if a meeting is held, appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and shall provide a written consent or vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all of the Subject Shares, in each case (i) in favor of (A) any proposal to adopt and approve or reapprove the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including without limitation (1) adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, (2) adoption and approval of an amendment of the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the form of Exhibit A hereto, (3) acknowledgment that the approval given thereby is irrevocable and that the Stockholder is aware of the Stockholder’s rights to demand appraisal for its shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, a true and correct copy of which will be attached thereto, and that the Stockholder has received and read a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL, (4) acknowledgment that by the Stockholder’s approval of the Merger the Stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the Subject Shares in connection with the Merger and thereby waives any rights to receive payment of the fair value of the Stockholder’s capital stock under the DGCL, and (B) waiving any notice that may have been or may be required relating to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Stockholder Approval Matters”), and (ii) against (A) any Acquisition Proposal and any action in furtherance of any such Acquisition Proposal and (B) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that, to the knowledge of the Stockholder, would reasonably be expected to (x) result in a material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Stockholder under this Agreement or the Company under the Merger Agreement or (y) prevent or materially delay or adversely affect the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, including the Merger, or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of Shares.
 
SECTION 2.2    Grant of Irrevocable Proxy. The Stockholder hereby appoints the Company and any designee of the Company, and each of them individually, as the Stockholder’s proxy, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote, including by executing written consents, during the Voting Period with respect to any and all of the Subject Shares on the matters and in the manner specified in Section 2.1; provided, however, that the Stockholder’s grant of the proxy contemplated by this Section 2.2 shall be effective with respect to Section 2.1 if, and only if, the Stockholder does not deliver the Written Consent in accordance with Section 2.1(a) after being given a reasonable opportunity to do so, or attempts to vote or consent in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of Section 2.1(b). The Stockholder shall take all further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of any such proxy. The Stockholder affirms that the irrevocable proxy given by it hereby with respect to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is given to the Company by the Stockholder to secure the performance of the obligations of the Stockholder under this Agreement. It is agreed that the Company (and its officers on behalf of the Company) will use the irrevocable proxy that is granted by the Stockholder hereby only in accordance with applicable Laws and that, to the extent the Company (and its officers on behalf of the Company) uses such irrevocable proxy, it will only vote (or sign written consents in respect of) the Subject Shares subject to such irrevocable proxy with respect to the matters specified in, and in accordance with the provisions of, Section 2.1.
 
SECTION 2.3      Nature of Irrevocable Proxy. The proxy granted pursuant to Section 2.2 to the Company by the Stockholder shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and shall revoke any and all prior proxies or powers of attorney granted by the Stockholder and no subsequent proxy or power of attorney shall be given or written consent executed (and if given or executed, shall not be effective) by the Stockholder with respect thereto. The proxy that may be granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement, but shall survive the death or incapacity of the Stockholder and any obligation of the Stockholder under this Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives and successors of the Stockholder.
 
ARTICLE III
COVENANTS
 
SECTION 3.1      Subject Shares.
 
(a)           The Stockholder agrees that (i) from the date hereof until the Effective Time, it shall not, and shall not commit or agree to, without the prior written consent of Parent and the Company, directly or indirectly, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, offer for sale, sell (including short sales), transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift or by operation of law) (collectively, a “Transfer”), or enter into any contract, option, derivative, hedging or other agreement or arrangement or understanding (including any profit-sharing arrangement) with respect to, or consent to or permit, a Transfer of, any or all of the Subject Shares or any interest therein; and (ii) during the Voting Period, it shall not, and shall not commit or agree to, without the prior written consent of Parent and the Company, (A) grant any proxies or powers of attorney with respect to any or all of the Subject Shares or agree to vote (or sign written consents in respect of) the Subject Shares on any matter or divest itself of any voting rights in the Subject Shares, or (B) take any action that would have the effect of preventing or disabling the Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement.

The Stockholder agrees that any Transfer of Subject Shares not permitted hereby shall be null and void and that any such prohibited Transfer shall be enjoined. If any voluntary or involuntary transfer of any Subject Shares covered hereby shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by the Stockholder’s trustee in bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.

The Stockholder further agrees that, in the event Stockholder purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial or record ownership of or an interest in, or acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of, any additional Shares, in each case after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Time, the Stockholder shall deliver promptly to the Company and Parent written notice of such event, which notice shall state the number of additional Shares so acquired. The Stockholder agrees that any such additional Shares shall constitute Subject Shares for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, including all covenants, agreements, obligations, representations and warranties set forth herein as if those additional Shares were owned by the Stockholder on the date of this Agreement.
 
SECTION 3.2     Stockholder’s Capacity. All agreements and understandings made herein shall be made solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as a holder of the Subject Shares and not in any other capacity.

Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the foregoing restrictions by any Representatives of the Stockholder shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 3.3 by the Stockholder. The Stockholder shall, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.
 
SECTION 3.4     Communications. During the Voting Period, the Stockholder shall not, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives, if any, not to, directly or indirectly, make any press release, public announcement or other public communication that criticizes or disparages this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, without the prior written consent of Parent and the Company, provided that the foregoing shall not limit or affect any actions taken by the Stockholder (or any affiliated officer or director of Stockholder) that would be permitted to be taken by Stockholder pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The Stockholder hereby (a) consents to and authorizes the publication and disclosure by Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (including in any publicly filed documents relating to the Merger or any transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement) of: (i) the Stockholder’s identity; (ii) the Stockholder’s beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares; (iii) this Agreement; and (iv) the nature of the Stockholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement, and any other information that Parent, Merger Sub or the Company determines to be necessary in any SEC disclosure document in connection with the Merger or any transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (b) agrees as promptly as practicable to notify Parent, Merger Sub and the Company of any required corrections with respect to any written information supplied by the Stockholder specifically for use in any such disclosure document.

The Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, exercise or perfect (or attempt to exercise, assert or perfect) any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger or quasi-appraisal rights that it may at any time have under applicable Laws, including Section 262 of the DGCL. The Stockholder agrees not to commence, join in, facilitate, assist or encourage, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective successors, directors or officers, (a) challenging the validity, binding nature or enforceability of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any Person in connection with the evaluation, negotiation, entry into or consummation of the Merger Agreement.

Notwithstanding the terms of the foregoing paragraph, the Lock-Up Restrictions shall automatically terminate and cease to be effective on the date that is one-hundred and eighty (180) days after the Effective Time.  The period during which the Lock-Up Restrictions apply to the Parent Securities shall be deemed the “Lock-Up Period” with respect thereto.
 

The undersigned agrees that the Lock-Up Restrictions preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction with respect to any then-subject Parent Securities which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of such Parent Securities even if such Parent Securities would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned.  Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to such Parent Securities or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such Parent Securities.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer any of the Parent Securities (i) if the undersigned is a natural person, (1) to any person related to the undersigned by blood or adoption who is an immediate family member (not more remote than first cousin), or a family member by marriage or domestic partnership (a “Family Member”), (2) as a bona fide gift or charitable contribution, (3) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or any Family Member of the undersigned, (4) to the undersigned’s estate, following the death of the undersigned, by will, intestacy or other operation of law, (5) by operation of law pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement, or (6) to any partnership, corporation, limited liability company, investment fund or other entity which is controlled by the undersigned and/or by any Family Member of the undersigned; (ii) if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity, (1) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is a direct or indirect affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the undersigned or (2) as distributions or dividends of shares of Parent Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable for Parent Common Stock to limited partners, limited liability company members or stockholders of the undersigned or holders of similar equity interests in the undersigned, (iii) if the undersigned is a trust, to the beneficiary of such trust, (iv) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under above clauses (i) through (iii), (v) to Parent in a transaction exempt from Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) upon a vesting event of the Parent Securities or upon the exercise of options or warrants to purchase Parent Common Stock on a “cashless” or “net exercise” basis or to cover tax withholding obligations of the undersigned in connection with such vesting or exercise (but for the avoidance of doubt, excluding all manners of exercise that would involve a sale in the open market of any securities relating to such options or warrants, whether to cover the applicable aggregate exercise price, withholding tax obligations or otherwise), (vi) to Parent in connection with the termination of employment or other termination of a service provider and pursuant to agreements in effect as of the Effective Time whereby Parent has the option to repurchase such shares or securities, (vii) acquired by the undersigned in open market transactions after the Effective Time, (viii) pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of Parent’s capital stock involving a change of control of Parent, provided that in the event that such tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Parent Securities shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this Agreement, or (ix) pursuant to an order of a court or regulatory agency; provided, in the case of clauses (i)-(iv), that (A) such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value and (B) the transferee shall have executed and delivered a Lock-Up Agreement with terms and in a form substantially identical to this Agreement with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock or other securities so transferred; and providedfurther, in the case of clauses (i)-(vii), no filing or public announcement under the Exchange Act or otherwise shall be required or voluntarily made by any person in connection with such transfer.
 
2

In addition, the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (i) the exercise of stock options granted pursuant to equity incentive plans existing immediately following the Effective Time, including the “net” exercise of such options in accordance with their terms and the surrender of Parent Common Stock in lieu of payment in cash of the exercise price and any tax withholding obligations due as a result of such exercise (but for the avoidance of doubt, excluding all manners of exercise that would involve a sale in the open market of any securities relating to such options, whether to cover the applicable aggregate exercise price, withholding tax obligations or otherwise); provided that it shall apply to any of the Parent Securities issued upon such exercise, (ii) the sale or transfer of Parent Common Stock in an amount approximately equivalent to satisfy any income tax liabilities associated with ownership of Parent Securities; or (iii) the establishment of any contract, instruction or plan (a “Plan”) that satisfies all of the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act; provided that (A) such Plan does not provide for the transfer of Parent Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Parent Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period and (B) no public announcement or filing with the SEC or other regulatory authority is required or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned, Parent or any other person, prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, in connection with the establishment of such Plan or any transactions contemplated thereunder.
 
Any attempted transfer in violation of this Agreement will be of no effect and null and void, regardless of whether the purported transferee has any actual or constructive knowledge of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement, and will not be recorded on the share register of Parent.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the undersigned hereby agrees and consents to the entry of “stop transfer” instructions with Parent’s transfer agent and registrar relating to the transfer of the undersigned’s shares of Parent Common Stock in violation of this Agreement and further agrees that Parent and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of shares of Parent Common Stock if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement.
 
Parent may cause the legend set forth below, or a legend substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) or other documents, ledgers or instruments evidencing the undersigned’s ownership of Parent Common Stock:
 
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AND MAY ONLY BE TRANSFERRED IN COMPLIANCE WITH A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.
 
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that upon request, the undersigned will execute any additional documents reasonably necessary to ensure the validity or enforcement of this Agreement.  All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs or personal representatives of the undersigned.
 
3

In the event that any holder of Parent Securities that is subject to a substantially similar agreement entered into by such holder and that acquired such Parent Securities as a former securityholder of the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement, other than the undersigned, is permitted by Parent to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of shares of Parent Common Stock for value other than as permitted by this or a substantially similar agreement entered into by such holder, the same percentage of shares of Parent Common Stock held by the undersigned shall be immediately and fully released on the same terms from any remaining restrictions set forth herein (the “Pro-Rata Release”). Upon the release of any Parent Securities from this Agreement, Parent will cooperate with the undersigned to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of evidence of book-entry shares representing the Parent Securities without the restrictive legend above or the withdrawal of any stop transfer instructions.
 
The undersigned understands that the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, and (ii) if the Merger Agreement is terminated prior to the Effective Time pursuant to its terms, upon the date of such termination.
 
Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon Parent and the Company will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity, and the exercise by Parent and/or the Company of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.  The undersigned agrees that irreparable damage would occur to Parent and the Company in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that Parent and the Company shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Parent and the Company are entitled at law or in equity, and the undersigned waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of Parent or the Company with respect thereto.
 
This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
 
This Agreement, and any certificates, documents, instruments and writings that are delivered pursuant hereto, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of Parent, the Company and the undersigned in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among Parent, the Company and the undersigned, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.  The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by the undersigned by facsimile or electronic transmission in “.pdf” format shall be sufficient to bind the undersigned to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

A.          Ocuphire, Rexahn and each Buyer is executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the 1933 Act.
 
B.          Each Buyer wishes to purchase, and Ocuphire wishes to sell, upon the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement, (i) that aggregate number of shares of Ocuphire’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Ocuphire Common Stock”), set forth opposite such Buyer’s name in column (3) on the Schedule of Buyers (which aggregate amount of Ocuphire Common Stock for all Buyers together (the “Buyers’ Allocation Number”) shall equal a number of shares, to be determined on the Closing Date (as defined below), that is exchangeable on the terms described in the Draft Merger Agreement (as defined below) for an aggregate of 15% of the estimated Parent Fully Diluted Number (as defined below), assuming solely for this purpose that all of the Exchange Shares (as defined below) estimated to be issued in exchange for Additional Common Shares (as defined below) were not then outstanding, and shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Initial Common Shares”), and (ii) up to that aggregate number of shares of Ocuphire Common Stock set forth opposite such Buyer’s name in column (4) of the Schedule of Buyers attached hereto (which aggregate amount for all Buyers shall equal the Buyers’ Allocation Number) (the “Additional Common Shares” and together with the Initial Common Shares, the “Common Shares”), which shall be issued in escrow to The Bank of New York Mellon acting as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) in accordance with those certain escrow agreements by and among each Buyer, on the one hand, and Ocuphire, Rexahn and the Escrow Agent on the other hand, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (collectively, the “Securities Escrow Agreement”) and which shall be delivered from time to time to the Buyers pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
 
C.          In addition, Rexahn hereby agrees to issue to each Buyer, following completion of the Merger (as defined below) upon the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement (i) warrants, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 (the “Series A Warrants”), representing the right to acquire an initial amount of shares of Rexahn’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Rexahn Common Stock”) equal to one-hundred (100%) percent of the quotient determined by dividing the Purchase Price (as defined below) paid by such Buyer on the Closing Date, by the Final Per Share Price (as defined below) (such shares of Rexahn Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants, collectively, the “Series A Warrant Shares”), and (ii) warrants, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 (the “Series B Warrants” and, together with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”), representing the right to acquire that number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock in accordance with its terms and conditions (such shares of Rexahn Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants, collectively, the “Series B Warrant Shares” and, together with the Series A Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”).
 

D.          Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Buyers and Rexahn are executing and delivering a Registration Rights Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which Rexahn has agreed to provide, following the closing of the Merger, certain registration rights with respect to the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) under the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws.
 
E.          The Common Shares (and, as applicable, the Exchange Shares issued in exchange therefor), the Warrants and the Warrant Shares collectively are referred to herein as the “Securities.”
 
F.         The “Parent Fully Diluted Number” is equal to the “fully-diluted” post-Merger outstanding shares of Rexahn Common Stock, which figure (i) includes all shares of Rexahn Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to in-the-money options, warrants or convertible securities, and (ii) with respect to Replacement Warrants (as defined in the Draft Merger Agreement) issued by Rexahn following the Subscription Date in exchange for existing Parent Warrants (as defined in the Draft Merger Agreement) shall include (A) all shares of Rexahn Common Stock that are subject to each Replacement Warrant that is in-the-money as of the date of issuance of such Replacement Warrant and (B) 0.5 times the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to such out-of-the-money Replacement Warrants that is out-of-the-money as of the date of issuance of such Replacement Warrant and (iii) excludes all other out-of-the-money options, warrants or convertible securities of Rexahn; provided, however, for determining whether Replacement Warrants are in-the-money or out-of-the money such determination will be made based on the difference between the exercise price of such Replacement Warrant as compared to the first Closing Sale Price (as defined in the Warrants) of a share of Rexahn Common Stock immediately following the issuance of such Replacement Warrant.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, Ocuphire, Rexahn and each Buyer hereby agree as follows:
 
1.           PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMMON SHARES AND WARRANTS.

(b)         Closing.  The date and time of the Closing (the “Closing Date”) shall be 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on a date mutually agreed to by Ocuphire, Rexahn and each Buyer after notification of satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 7 and 8 below, and shall take place remotely by electronic transfer of Closing documentation, or at such other date as the parties hereto agree.

(ii)         Obligation to Deliver Additional Common Shares.  Promptly but in any event by no later than (x) the earlier to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) Trading Day (as defined in the Warrants) immediately following the Closing Date and (ii) with respect to any Buyer, the first (1st) Trading Day following the delivery to Rexahn of a written notice by such Buyer (an “Early Delivery Notice”) at any time from the fifth (5th) Trading Day immediately following the Closing Date indicating that such Buyer elects to determine the Final Per Share Price using the five (5) lowest Weighted Average Prices (as defined in the Warrants) of the Rexahn Common Stock during the period beginning on the first (1st) Trading Day immediately following the Closing Date and ending on the date such Buyer delivers such Early Delivery Notice to Rexahn, inclusive (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassification, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events during such period) (such earlier date, the “First Additional Exchange Shares Delivery Date”) and/or (y) if Section 1(c)(iv) prevents the delivery on the First Additional Exchange

the delivery to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to Rexahn) of a notice by such Buyer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D setting forth such Buyer’s election to receive all or any portion of the Exchange Shares issued in exchange of the Additional Common Shares such Buyer is entitled to pursuant to this Section 1(c)(ii) and the delivery of which is no longer prevented by Section 1(c)(iv) (a “Capacity Notice”) (the First Additional Exchange Shares Delivery Date and each second (2nd) Trading Day immediately following the delivery to the Escrow Agent of a Capacity Notice, an “Additional Exchange Shares Delivery Date”), subject to Section 1(c)(iv), Rexahn acknowledges that, in each case, without any additional consideration, the Escrow Agent shall transfer from the escrow account governed by the Securities Escrow Agreement and deliver via The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) free delivery / free receive system, the Additional Common Shares (once exchanged for the Exchange Shares as set forth herein) (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassification, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events occurring after the date hereof and including any securities, cash, rights or other property distributed with respect to such Additional Common Shares or in exchange for such Additional Common Shares), which such Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares shall be equal to the lesser of (A) the number of Exchange Shares issued in exchange for the Additional Common Shares deposited in such Buyer’s escrow account (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassification, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events occurring after the date hereof) and (B) the number (if positive) obtained by subtracting (I) the number of Exchange Shares issued in exchange for the Initial Common Shares purchased by such Buyer on the Closing Date (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassification, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events occurring after the date hereof), from (II) the quotient determined by dividing (x) the aggregate Purchase Price paid by such Buyer on the Closing Date, by (y) with respect to each applicable Buyer, the greater of (a) the Reset Floor Price (as defined in the Warrants) and (b) eighty-five percent (85%) of the sum of the five (5) lowest Weighted Average Prices of the Rexahn Common Stock during the period beginning on the first (1st) Trading Day immediately following the Closing Date and ending on the First Additional Exchange Shares Delivery Date, inclusive (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassification, combinations, reverse stock splits or other similar events during such period), divided by five (5) (the greater of the price set forth in the

Closing Date, by (y) the amount of Initial Common Shares purchased by such Buyer on the Closing Date (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations,

Escrow Agent in writing of the occurrence of a First Additional Exchange Shares Delivery Date applicable to each Buyer and shall deliver a copy of such notice to such Buyer.  On the First Additional Exchange Shares Delivery Date applicable to each Buyer, the Investor Representative (as defined in the applicable Securities Escrow Agreement) related to such Buyer and Rexahn shall instruct the Escrow Agent to release to Rexahn from the applicable escrow account governed by the Securities Escrow Agreement any Exchange Shares issued in exchange for Additional Common Shares to the extent that the Buyer(s) affiliated with such Investor Representative is not entitled to receive such Exchange Shares pursuant to this Section 1(c)(ii) without giving effect to the limitations under Section 1(c)(iv).  Upon request of an Investor Representative, upon delivery of any Capacity Notice to the Escrow Agent, Rexahn hereby agrees to give instructions and to take any additional actions reasonably requested by such Investor Representative, to cause the Escrow Agent to promptly deliver (but in no event later than two (2) Trading Days after such request) the Additional Common Shares to which the applicable Buyer(s) are entitled pursuant to such Capacity Notice.

(iii)         Mechanics of Delivery.
 
(1)        General.  Rexahn shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and all fees and expenses with respect to the delivery of Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares and transfer of such shares to each Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC, if any, including, without limitation, for same day processing.  Rexahn’s obligations to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver and transfer Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares to the Buyers in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof and the Securities Escrow Agreement are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by such Buyer to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person (as defined below) or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event will Rexahn have any responsibility under Section 1(c) until after the completion of the Merger and any Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares be delivered with any restrictive legends or any restrictions or limitations on resale by the Buyers. If Rexahn and/or the Transfer Agent requires any legal opinions with respect to the delivery of any Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares without restrictive legends or the removal of any such restrictive legends, Rexahn agrees to cause at its expense its legal counsel to issue any such legal opinions. Rexahn hereby acknowledges and agrees that the holding period of any Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares delivered hereunder for purposes of Rule 144 (as defined below) shall be deemed to have commenced on the Closing Date.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof.

(2)        Rexahn’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities.  If Rexahn shall fail for any reason or for no reason to credit such Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC on the applicable Additional Exchange Shares Delivery Date for such number of Exchange Shares issued in exchange of shares of Rexahn Common Stock to which such Buyer is entitled under Section 1(c)(ii) (a “Delivery Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Buyer, Rexahn shall pay in cash to such Buyer on each day after such Additional Exchange Shares Delivery Date that Rexahn shall fail to credit such Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock to which such Buyer is entitled pursuant to Rexahn’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below, an amount equal to 1.5 % of the product of (A) the number of Exchange Shares not issued to such Buyer on or prior to the applicable Additional Exchange Shares Delivery Date and to which the Buyer is entitled, and (B) any trading price of the Rexahn Common Stock selected by the Buyer in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Additional Exchange Shares Delivery Date and ending on the date Rexahn makes the applicable cash payment, and if on or after such Trading Day such Buyer (or any Person in respect of, or on behalf, of such Buyer) purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Rexahn Common Stock related to the applicable Delivery Failure, then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Buyer, Rexahn shall, within two (2) Trading Days after such Buyer’s request and in such Buyer’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to such Buyer in an amount equal to such Buyer’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Rexahn Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point Rexahn’s obligation to credit such Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for such shares of Rexahn Common Stock shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to credit such Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC and pay cash to such Buyer in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock, multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Rexahn Common Stock selected by such Buyer in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Additional Exchange Shares Delivery Date and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this Section 1(c)(iii)(2).  Nothing shall limit any Buyer’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to Rexahn’s failure to timely electronically deliver shares of Rexahn Common Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Rexahn shall have no obligations under Section 1(c) until after the closing of the Merger.

(3)        Charges, Taxes and Expenses.  Issuance of the Additional Common Shares to the Escrow Agent and subsequent delivery of the Exchange Shares issued in exchange thereof to the Buyers shall be made without charge to the Buyers for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of such issuance and transfer, all of which taxes (other than the Buyers’ income taxes) and expenses shall be paid by Rexahn, and the Exchange Shares issued in exchange of such Additional Common Shares shall be delivered in the name of the respective Buyer or in such name or names as may be directed by the respective Buyer.
 
(4)       Closing of Books.  Neither Ocuphire nor Rexahn will close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of such Buyer’s rights with respect to the Exchange Shares issued in exchange of the Additional Common Shares.

(iv)        Blocker. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Rexahn shall not deliver Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares, and no Buyer shall have the right to receive Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares, and any such delivery shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such delivery, such Buyer together with its other Attribution Parties (as defined in the Warrants) would beneficially own in excess of such percentage corresponding to the checked box on such Buyer’s signature page attached hereto (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such delivery.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock beneficially owned by such Buyer and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock held by such Buyer and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares delivered to such Buyer pursuant to Section 1(c) hereof with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of the Warrants beneficially owned by such Buyer or any of the other Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of Rexahn beneficially owned by such Buyer or any of the other Attribution Parties (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein.  For purposes of this Section 1(c)(iv), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”).  For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Rexahn Common Stock that the Buyers may receive without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Buyers may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Rexahn Common Stock as reflected in (1) Rexahn’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by Rexahn or (3) any other written notice by Rexahn or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”).  If Rexahn receives a Capacity Notice from such Buyer at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Rexahn Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, Rexahn shall promptly notify the Buyers in writing of the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Capacity Notice would otherwise cause a Buyer’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(c)(iv), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, such Buyer must notify Rexahn of a reduced number of Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares to be delivered pursuant to such Capacity Notice.  For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Buyer, Rexahn shall within one (1) Business Day (as defined below) confirm in writing or by electronic mail to such Buyer the number of shares of Rexahn Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Rexahn Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of Rexahn, including the Warrants held by each Buyer and the other Attribution Parties since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported.  In the event that the delivery of Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares to such Buyer results in such Buyer and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Rexahn Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so delivered by which such Buyer’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and such Buyer shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. If a Buyer’s right to receive Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares is limited, in whole or in part, by this Section 1(c)(iv), all such Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares that are so limited shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of such Buyer by the Escrow Agent until the earlier to occur of the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date and such time as such Buyer notifies Rexahn that its right thereto would not result in such Buyer exceeding the Maximum Percentage and Rexahn shall promptly but in any event within two (2) Trading Days after the delivery of such Capacity Notice deliver to such Buyer the Exchange Shares issued in exchange of such Additional Common Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to Rexahn, each Buyer may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to Rexahn and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Buyer and the other Attribution Parties and not to any of the other Buyers that is not an Attribution Party of such Buyer.  For purposes of clarity, the Exchange Shares issued in exchange of the Additional Common Shares deliverable pursuant to the terms hereof in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by such Buyer for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(c)(iv) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(c)(iv) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.  The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor of such Buyer.  As used herein, “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in The City of New York are authorized or required by law to remain closed.
 
7

(d)         Warrant Closing.  The time of the Warrant Closing shall be 10:00 a.m., New York City time on the tenth (10th) Trading Day immediately following the Closing Date (the “Warrant Closing Date”), and shall take place remotely by electronic transfer of Warrant Closing documentation, or at such other date and place as the parties hereto agree.
 
(e)        Purchase Price.  The purchase price for the Common Shares and the related Warrants to be purchased by each Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall be the amount set forth opposite such Buyer’s name in column (5) of the Schedule of Buyers (the “Purchase Price”).
 
(f)          Form of Payment.  On the Closing Date, (i) each Buyer shall pay its respective Purchase Price (less, in the case of Altium Growth Fund, LP (the “Lead Investor”), any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5(h)) to Ocuphire for the Common Shares and the Warrants to be issued and sold to such Buyer pursuant to this Agreement by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with Ocuphire’s written wire instructions and (ii) Ocuphire shall deliver to each Buyer the number of Initial Common Shares such Buyer is purchasing as is set forth opposite such Buyer’s name in column (3) of the Schedule of Buyers. On the Warrant Closing Date, Rexahn shall deliver to each Buyer (x) a Series A Warrant pursuant to which such Buyer shall have the right to acquire an initial amount of shares of Rexahn Common Stock equal to one-hundred (100%) percent of the quotient determined by dividing the Purchase Price paid by such Buyer on the Closing Date, by the Final Per Share Price, and (y) a Series B Warrant pursuant to which such Buyer shall have the right to acquire Series B Warrant Shares in accordance with its terms and conditions, in each case duly executed on behalf of Rexahn and registered in the name of such Buyer or its designee.
 
2.           BUYER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Each Buyer, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants with respect to only itself to each of Ocuphire and Rexahn that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

(d)         Information.  Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of Ocuphire and Rexahn and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities that have been requested by such Buyer.  Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of Ocuphire and Rexahn.  Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer’s right to rely on Ocuphire’s and Rexahn’s representations and warranties contained herein.  Such Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk.  Such Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities. Such Buyer acknowledges and agrees that neither the Placement Agent (as defined in Section 3(g)) nor any Affiliate (as defined in Rule 144) of the Placement Agent has provided such Buyer with any information or advice with respect to the Securities nor is such information or advice necessary or desired.  Neither the Placement Agent nor any Affiliate has made or makes any representation as to Ocuphire and Rexahn or the quality of the Securities and the Placement Agent and any Affiliate may have acquired non-public information with respect to Ocuphire and Rexahn which such Buyer agrees need not be provided to it.  In connection with the issuance of the Securities to such Buyer, neither the Placement Agent nor any of its Affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to such Buyer.
 
(e)         No Governmental Review.  Such Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

(f)         Transfer or Resale.  Such Buyer understands that except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement:  (i) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) subject to Section 1(c)(iii)(1), such Buyer shall have delivered to Rexahn an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Rexahn, to the effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) such Buyer provides Rexahn with reasonable assurance that such Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the 1933 Act, as amended, (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”); (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither Rexahn nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder; provided, however, that the Common Shares will be exchanged on the Closing Date and pursuant to Section 5(d) will be exchangeable, for shares of Rexahn Common Stock registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by Rexahn following the execution of this Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Final Form S-4”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Buyer effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide Rexahn with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to Rexahn pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in Section 4(b)), including, without limitation, this Section 2(f).

This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which such Buyer is a party have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Buyer enforceable against such Buyer in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.
 
(i)          No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance by such Buyer of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which such Buyer is a party and the consummation by such Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Buyer or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Buyer is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Buyer, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Buyer to perform its obligations hereunder.
 
3.           REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF OCUPHIRE.
 
Ocuphire represents and warrants to each of the Buyers that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:
 
(a)         Organization and Qualification.  Each of Ocuphire and its “Ocuphire Subsidiaries” (which for purposes of this Agreement means any entity in which Ocuphire, directly or indirectly, owns any of the capital stock or holds an equity or similar interest) are entities duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are formed, and have the requisite power and authorization to own their properties and to carry on their business as now being conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted.  Each of Ocuphire and each of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Ocuphire Material Adverse Effect.  As used in this Agreement, “Ocuphire Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Ocuphire and the Ocuphire Subsidiaries, individually or taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby or on the other Ocuphire Transaction Documents (as defined below) or by the agreements and instruments to be entered into in connection herewith or therewith, or on the authority or ability of Ocuphire to perform any of its obligations under any of the Ocuphire Transaction Documents.  Ocuphire has no Ocuphire Subsidiaries except as set forth in Schedule 3(a).  The outstanding shares of capital stock of each of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by Ocuphire or another Ocuphire Subsidiary free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and equities and claims; and no options, warrants or other rights to purchase, agreements or other obligations to issue or other rights to convert any obligations into shares of capital stock or ownership interests in the Ocuphire Subsidiaries are outstanding.

(c)         Issuance of Common Shares. As of (i) the date hereof, subject to the Ocuphire Required Stockholder Approvals and (ii) the Closing Date, the issuance of the Common Shares is duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the Ocuphire Transaction Documents, the Common Shares shall be validly issued and free from all preemptive or similar rights (except for those which have been validly waived prior to the date hereof), taxes, liens and charges and other encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and the Common Shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable with the holders being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Ocuphire Common Stock.  Assuming the accuracy of each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, the offer and issuance by Ocuphire of the Common Shares is exempt from registration under the 1933 Act.
 
(d)         No Conflicts. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(d), the execution, delivery and performance of the Ocuphire Transaction Documents by Ocuphire and any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries and the consummation by Ocuphire of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Common Shares) will not (i) as of (x) the date hereof, subject to the Ocuphire Required Stockholder Approvals, and (y) as of the Closing Date, result in a violation of the Ocuphire Certificate of Incorporation (as defined below) or Ocuphire Bylaws (as defined below) or other organizational documents of Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries, any capital stock of Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries or the articles of association or bylaws of Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) in any respect under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including foreign, federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations) applicable to Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, as would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Ocuphire Material Adverse Effect.
 
13

As of (i) the date hereof, other than the Ocuphire Required Stockholder Approvals and (ii) the Closing Date, Ocuphire is not required to obtain any consent from, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with (other than the filing of a Form D with the SEC and any other filings as may be required by any state securities agencies or the filing of an amendment to Ocuphire’s certificate of incorporation following receipt of the Ocuphire Required Stockholder Approvals to increase the number of authorized shares of Ocuphire Common Stock), any court, governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by the Ocuphire Transaction Documents, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof.  All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which Ocuphire is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained or effected on or prior to the Closing Date (or in the case of filings detailed above, will be made timely after the Closing Date).
 
(f)          Acknowledgment Regarding Buyer’s Purchase of Securities. Ocuphire acknowledges and agrees that each Buyer is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Ocuphire Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that, prior to the purchase of Securities hereunder, no Buyer is (i) an officer or director of Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries, (ii) an “affiliate” of Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries (as defined in Rule 144) or (iii) to the knowledge of Ocuphire, a “beneficial owner” of more than 10% of the Ocuphire Common Stock (as defined for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act).  Ocuphire further acknowledges that no Buyer is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Ocuphire Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and any advice given by a Buyer or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Ocuphire Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Buyer’s purchase of the Securities.  Ocuphire further represents to each Buyer that Ocuphire’s decision to enter into the Ocuphire Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by Ocuphire and its representatives.
 
(g)         No General Solicitation; Placement Agent’s Fees.  Neither Ocuphire, nor any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries or their affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.  Ocuphire shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, or brokers’ commissions (other than for Persons engaged by any Buyer or its investment advisor) relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, placement agent fees payable to Canaccord Genuity LLC and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (collectively, the “Placement Agent”) in connection with the sale of the Securities.  Ocuphire shall pay, and hold each Buyer harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any such claim.  Ocuphire acknowledges that it has engaged the Placement Agent in connection with the sale of the Securities.  Other than the Placement Agent, neither Ocuphire nor any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries has not engaged any placement agent or other agent in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.
 
14

(h)         No Integrated Offering.  None of Ocuphire, the Ocuphire Subsidiaries, their affiliates, nor any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause this offering of the Securities to require approval of stockholders of Ocuphire for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of Rexahn are listed or designated for quotation.  None of Ocuphire, the Ocuphire Subsidiaries, their affiliates nor any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of any of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings for purposes of any such applicable stockholder approval provisions.
 
(i)         Application of Takeover Protections; Rights Agreement.  Ocuphire and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, interested stockholder, business combination (including, without limitation, under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”)), poison pill (including, without limitation, any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Ocuphire Certificate of Incorporation, Ocuphire Bylaws or other organizational documents or the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation which is or could become applicable to any Buyer as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, Ocuphire’s issuance of the Common Shares and any Buyer’s ownership of the Securities.  Ocuphire and its board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any stockholder rights plan or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of Ocuphire Common Stock or a change in control of Ocuphire or any of the Ocuphire Subsidiaries.

Closing, no Buyer shall be in possession of any material, non-public information received from Ocuphire, Rexahn, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents.  In addition, from and after the Closing, each of Ocuphire and Rexahn acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between Ocuphire, Rexahn, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and any of the Buyers or any of their affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.  Each of Ocuphire and Rexahn shall not, and shall cause each of their respective

or any of their respective Subsidiaries from and after the Closing without the express prior written consent of such Buyer.  If after the Closing, a Buyer has, or believes it has, received any such

press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such material, non-public information without the prior approval by Ocuphire, Rexahn, their respective Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents.  No Buyer shall have any liability to Ocuphire, Rexahn, their respective Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents for any such disclosure.  To the extent that Ocuphire or Rexahn delivers any material, non-public information to a Buyer without such Buyer’s consent, each of Ocuphire and Rexahn hereby covenants and agrees that following the Closing such Buyer shall not have any duty of confidentiality to Ocuphire, Rexahn, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents with respect to, or a duty to Ocuphire, Rexahn, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information.  Subject to the foregoing, none of Ocuphire, Rexahn, their respective Subsidiaries nor any Buyer shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that each of Ocuphire and Rexahn shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Buyer, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing and contemporaneously therewith, (ii) in the Final Form S-4 and (iii) as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided, that in the case of clause (i) the Lead Investor shall be consulted by Ocuphire or Rexahn in connection with any such 8-K Filing or other public disclosure prior to its release).  Except for the 8-K Filing, the Final Form S-4 and the Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, without the prior written consent of any applicable Buyer, none of Ocuphire, Rexahn or any of their respective Subsidiaries or affiliates shall disclose the name of such Buyer in any filing, announcement, release or otherwise.  Subject to the terms set forth in Section 5(n)(iii) below, following the Closing, upon receipt or delivery by Rexahn of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, unless Rexahn has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to Rexahn or the Rexahn Subsidiaries, Rexahn shall contemporaneously with any such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise.  In the event that Rexahn believes that a notice contains material, nonpublic information relating to Rexahn or the Rexahn Subsidiaries, Rexahn so shall indicate to the

material, nonpublic information relating to Rexahn or the Rexahn Subsidiaries.  As used herein, “Disclosure Time” means, (i) if this Agreement is signed on a day that is not a Trading Day or after 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) and before midnight (New York City time) on any Trading Day, no later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately following the date hereof,

(iii)       From the date hereof until the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, Rexahn will not, directly or indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement unless Rexahn shall have first complied with this Section 5(n)(iii).

41

(1)       At least two (2) Business Days prior to any proposed or intended Subsequent Placement, Rexahn shall deliver to each Buyer a written notice (each such notice, a “Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall not contain any information (including, without limitation, material, non-public information) other than: (A) if the proposed Offer Notice (as defined below) constitutes or contains material, non-public information, a statement asking whether such Buyer is willing to accept material non-public information or (B) if the proposed Offer Notice does not constitute or contain material, non-public information, (x) a statement that Rexahn proposes or intends to effect a Subsequent Placement, (y) a statement that the statement in clause (x) above does not constitute material, non-public information and (z) a statement informing such Buyer that it is entitled to receive an Offer Notice with respect to such Subsequent Placement upon its written request.

(2)       To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Buyer must deliver a written notice to Rexahn prior to the end of the second (2nd) Business Day after such Buyer’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of such Buyer’s Basic Amount that such Buyer elects to purchase and, if such Buyer shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Qualified Buyer elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”).  If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Buyers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Qualified Buyer who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, that if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”), each Qualified Buyer who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Qualified Buyer bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Qualified Buyers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by Rexahn to the extent it deems reasonably necessary.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Rexahn desires to modify or amend the material terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, Rexahn may deliver to each Buyer a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire at 10:00 p.m. New York Time on the second (2nd) Business Day after the day such Buyer receives such new Offer Notice.  If a Buyer fails to timely notify Rexahn of its willingness to participate in the Subsequent Placement or otherwise fails to respond to the Pre-Notice, Rexahn may effect such Subsequent Placement without the participation of such on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice.
 
42

(3)       Rexahn shall have two (2) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by the Buyers (the “Refused Securities”) pursuant to a definitive agreement (the “Subsequent Placement Agreement”), but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to Rexahn than those set forth in the Offer Notice and to publicly announce (a) the execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement and (b) either (x) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (y) the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.
 
(4)       In the event Rexahn shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 5(n)(iii)(3) above), then each Buyer may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such Buyer elected to purchase pursuant to Section 5(n)(iii)(2) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities Rexahn actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Buyers pursuant to Section 5(n)(iii)(3) above prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities.  In the event that any Buyer so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, Rexahn may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Buyers in accordance with the mechanics of the Offer Notice set forth in Section 5(n)(iii)(1) above.
 
(5)       Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, the Buyers shall acquire from Rexahn, and Rexahn shall issue to the Buyers, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notices of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 5(n)(iii)(4) above if the Buyers have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Rexahn does not consummate the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the expiration of the Offer Period, Rexahn shall issue to the Buyers, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in the Notice of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 5(n)(iii)(4) above if the Buyers have so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer.  The purchase by the Buyers of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by Rexahn and the Buyers of a purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Buyers and their respective counsel.

(6)       Any Offered Securities not acquired by the Buyers or other Persons in accordance with Section 5(n)(iii)(3) above may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to the Buyers under the procedures specified in this Section 5(n)(iii).
 
(7)       Rexahn and the Buyers agree that if any Buyer elects to participate in the Offer, (x) neither the definitive agreements with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto shall include any term or provisions whereby any Buyer shall be required to agree to any restrictions in trading as to any securities of Rexahn owned by such Buyer prior to such Subsequent Placement and (y) the Buyers shall be entitled to the same registration rights provided to other investors in the Subsequent Placement.
 
(8)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(n) and unless otherwise agreed to by the Buyers, Rexahn shall either confirm in writing to the Buyers that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case in such a manner such that the Buyers will not be in possession of material, nonpublic information, by the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice.  If by the fifteenth (15th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by the Buyers, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the Buyers shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, nonpublic information with respect to Rexahn.  Should Rexahn decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities, Rexahn shall provide each Buyer with another Offer Notice and each Buyer will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section 5(n)(iii).  Rexahn shall not be permitted to deliver more than one (1) such Offer Notice to the Buyers in any 60 day period (other than the Offer Notices contemplated by the last sentence of Section 5(n)(iii)(2) of this Agreement).
 
44

(9)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with respect to registered public offerings or other Subsequent Placements in which securities are issued primarily pursuant to one or more registration statements filed with the SEC with an underwriter or placement agent engaged by Rexahn with respect to such Subsequent Placement (each, a “Registered Subsequent Placement”), (x) any corresponding Offer Notice with respect thereto shall not be required to include pricing information to the extent such pricing information is then unavailable (but Rexahn (or the placement agent or underwriter, as applicable) shall provide such pricing information to each Buyer as soon as commercially practicable following the pricing call or meeting, as applicable, of such Registered Subsequent Placement) and (y) in lieu of the end of the Offer Period being determined as described above (but without modifying the obligation of Rexahn to deliver the Offer Notice for such Registered Subsequent Placement without such pricing in the timeframe as described above), each Buyer shall, after receipt of such pricing information, have the customary period, as reasonably determined by the underwriter or placement agent, as applicable, to thereafter elect to subscribe for such Buyer’s Basic Amount of the Offered Securities (or such greater allocation, at the discretion of the placement agent or underwriter, as applicable, and Rexahn) in such Registered Subsequent Placement.  For the purposes of a Registered Subsequent Placement, Rexahn shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 5(n)(iii) if: (i) Rexahn or its underwriter, placement agent or financial advisor in good faith attempts to inform a Buyer of such offering on a confidential basis pursuant to a customary “wall crossing” procedure and such Buyer declines to speak with Rexahn or its underwriter, placement agent or financial advisor regarding the offering (i.e., it does not come “over the wall”) (it being understood that a Buyer will be deemed to have “declined to speak” to Rexahn or its underwriter, placement agent or financial advisor, and thus have waived its right to participate in such offering, if it could not be reached or does not provide a response within 24 hours after such good faith attempt to inform such Buyer of such offering); or (ii) Rexahn or its underwriter, placement agent or financial advisor contacts a Buyer following the first public announcement of the public offering and such Buyer is offered an allocation of or is allocated in such offering the lesser of: (A) its requested allocation in such public offering or (B) such Buyer’s Basic Amount; or (iii) if such Buyer cannot be located or is not responsive during the period between the first public announcement of the public offering and the pricing of such public offering (which may be the same day as the announcement in the case of a confidentially marketed public offering).
 
(iv)      The restrictions contained in subsections (ii) and (iii) of this Section 5(n) shall not apply to (x) the disposition, exercise, cancellation, modification or termination of Parent Warrants that are outstanding on the day immediately preceding the date of this Agreement, (y) any issuance or proposed issuance of any Excluded Securities and (z) any solicitations, negotiations or discussions with regard to the foregoing.  In addition, the restrictions contained in Section 5(n)(iii) shall not apply to (x) any offering or sale of securities on Form S-8 or Form S-4, or any similar or successor forms or (y) any offering or sale pursuant to an “at the market” offering by Rexahn that is effected by Rexahn through a broker-dealer; provided, however, that the transactions in the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) are otherwise permitted under this Agreement.
 
45

(o)         Public Information.  At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending at such time that all of the Registrable Securities, if a registration statement is not available for the resale of all of the Registrable Securities, may be sold without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1), if Rexahn shall (i) fail for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1), including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the current public information requirements under Rule 144(c) or (ii) if Rexahn has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and Rexahn shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (each, a “Public Information Failure”) then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder of Securities by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), Rexahn shall pay to each such holder an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of such holder’s Securities on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth day (prorated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such Public Information Failure no longer prevents a holder of Securities from selling such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without any restrictions or limitations.  The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 5(o) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.”  Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (II) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured.  In the event Rexahn fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.
 
(p)         Notice of Disqualification Events.  Each of Ocuphire and Rexahn will notify the Buyers in writing, prior to the Closing Date of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to any Ocuphire Covered Person or Rexahn Covered Person, respectively (as defined in Annex I), and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, reasonably be expected to become a Disqualification Event relating to any Ocuphire Covered Person or Rexahn Covered Person, respectively.
 
(q)        FAST Compliance.  While any Warrants are outstanding, Rexahn shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program.
 
(r)         Lock-Up. Rexahn shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of any of the Lock-Up Agreements except to extend the term of the lock-up period and shall enforce the provisions of each Lock-Up Agreement in accordance with its terms.  If any officer or director that is a party to a Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of a Lock-Up Agreement, Rexahn shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek specific performance of the terms of such Lock-Up Agreement.
 
(s)         Leak-Out. Rexahn shall not amend, modify, waive or terminate any provision of any of the Leak-Out Agreements and shall enforce the provisions of each Leak-Out Agreement in accordance with its terms.  If any officer or director that is a party to a Leak-Out Agreement breaches any provision of a Leak-Out Agreement, Rexahn shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek specific performance of the terms of such Leak-Out Agreement.
 
46

(t)         Variable Securities.  From the date hereof until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Ocuphire, Rexahn, each Ocuphire Subsidiary and each Rexahn Subsidiary shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any Subsequent Placement involving a Variable Rate Transaction.  “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which Ocuphire, Rexahn, any Ocuphire Subsidiary or any Rexahn Subsidiary (i) issues or sells any Convertible Securities either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Ocuphire Common Stock or Rexahn Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of Ocuphire or Rexahn or the market for the Ocuphire Common Stock or Rexahn Common Stock, other than pursuant to a customary “weighted average” anti-dilution provision or (ii) enters into any agreement (including, without limitation, an equity line of credit or an “at-the-market” offering) whereby Ocuphire, Rexahn, any Ocuphire Subsidiary or any Rexahn Subsidiary may sell securities at a future determined price (other than standard and customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights); provided, however, (i) a Variable Rate Transaction shall not include (x) any of the transactions pursuant to the Executed Merger Agreement or (y) the issuance of shares of Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued by Rexahn prior to the Closing Date in connection with the exercise, exchange, cancellation or termination of the Parent Warrants that are outstanding on the day immediately preceding the date of this Agreement and (ii) Rexahn shall be permitted to consummate “at-the-market” offerings by a broker-dealer at any time after the later of (x) the date that is nine (9) months from the Closing Date and (y) the Trigger Date.  Each Buyer shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against Ocuphire, Rexahn, the Ocuphire Subsidiaries and the Rexahn Subsidiaries to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages for an actual breach of this Section 5(t).
 
(u)        Merger Agreement.  The Executed Merger Agreement shall be substantially identical to the Draft Merger Agreement, subject to any amendments entered into in compliance with the terms of the Executed Merger Agreement and this Section 5(u).  Neither Ocuphire nor Rexahn shall amend any of the terms of the Executed Merger Agreement without the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined in Section 10(e)) if such amendment would (x) adversely affect the rights of the Buyers under the Transaction Documents, (y) materially and adversely affect the Buyers as stockholders of Rexahn or (z) materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents.  Ocuphire shall not waive any terms of the Executed Merger Agreement without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.  Nothing herein shall prevent Ocuphire or Rexahn from terminating the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.
 
(v)        Closing Documents.  On or prior to fourteen (14) calendar days after the Closing Date, Rexahn agrees to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to each Buyer and Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP a complete closing set (which may be solely in electronic format) of the executed Transaction Documents, Securities and any other documents required to be delivered to any party pursuant to Section 8 hereof or otherwise.
 
(w)         Rexahn Closing Representations and Warranties.  Effective as of the time of completion of the Merger, Rexahn covenants and agrees to make the representations and warranties set forth on Annex I attached hereto to each of the Buyers.
 
47

6.           REGISTER; TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.
 
(a)          Register.  Rexahn shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of Rexahn as it may designate by notice to each holder of Securities), a register for the Warrants in which Rexahn shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Warrants have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee) and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Person.  Rexahn shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of any Buyer or its legal representatives.
 
(b)         Transfer Agent Instructions.  Following the completion of the Merger, Rexahn shall issue irrevocable instructions to its Transfer Agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC, registered in the name of each Buyer or its respective nominee(s), for the Exchange Shares issued in exchange of the Additional Common Shares and the Warrant Shares upon delivery of a Capacity Notice or upon exercise of the Warrant, as applicable, in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Buyer to Rexahn upon delivery of a Capacity Notice or upon exercise of the Warrants, as applicable.  Rexahn warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 6(b), and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof, will be given by Rexahn to its Transfer Agent, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of Rexahn as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.  If a Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with Section 2(f), Rexahn shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment.  In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves the Warrant Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, the Transfer Agent shall issue such Securities to the Buyer, assignee or transferee, as the case may be, without any restrictive legend.  Rexahn acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer.  Accordingly, Rexahn acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 6(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Rexahn of the provisions of this Section 6(b), that a Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
 
7.           CONDITIONS TO OCUPHIRE’S OBLIGATION TO SELL AND REXAHN’S OBLIGATION TO ISSUE.
 
The obligation of Ocuphire hereunder to issue and sell the Common Shares at the Closing and the obligation of Rexahn hereunder to issue the Warrants at the Warrant Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for each of Ocuphire’s and Rexahn’s sole benefit and may be waived by Ocuphire and/or Rexahn at any time in its sole discretion by providing each Buyer with prior written notice thereof:

10.         MISCELLANEOUS.
 
(a)       Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. In addition to, but not in limitation of, any other rights of a Buyer hereunder, if (a) this Agreement is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection of any indemnification or other obligation hereunder then outstanding or enforcement or any such obligation is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or a Buyer otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under this Agreement or to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of Ocuphire or Rexahn or other proceedings affecting Ocuphire’s or Rexahn’s creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Agreement, then Ocuphire or Rexahn, as applicable, shall pay the costs incurred by such Buyer for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements.
 
52

(b)         Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile or .pdf signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile or .pdf signature.
 
(c)          Headings.  The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
 
(d)         Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.  The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
 
53

(e)         Entire Agreement; Amendments.  This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between Ocuphire, Rexahn, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf, on the one hand, and the Buyers, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf, on the other hand, with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, none of Ocuphire, Rexahn nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.  No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by Ocuphire, Rexahn and the Required Holders, and any amendment to this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 10(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, Ocuphire and Rexahn.  No provisions hereto may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the Buyers or holders of the applicable Securities then outstanding.  No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents, holders of Common Shares or holders of the Warrants, as the case may be.  Neither Ocuphire nor Rexahn has, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents.  Without limiting the foregoing, each of Ocuphire and Rexahn confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to Ocuphire or Rexahn or otherwise. As used herein, “Required Holders” means (I) prior to the Closing Date, the Buyers entitled to purchase at the Closing a majority of the aggregate amount of Initial Common Shares issuable hereunder and the aggregate amount of Warrant Shares issuable under the Warrants (without regard to any restriction or limitation on the exercise of the Warrants contained therein) and shall include the Lead Investor and (II) on or after the Closing Date, holders of at least a majority of the aggregate amount of Securities issued and issuable hereunder and under the Warrants held by the Buyers or successors and assigns of the Buyers pursuant to Section 10(g) (without regard to any restriction or limitation on the exercise of the Warrants or the delivery of the Exchange Shares issued in exchange of Additional Common Shares contained therein or herein) as of the applicable time of determination and shall include the Lead Investor so long as the Lead Investor or any of its Affiliates holds any Securities.

or to such other address, facsimile number and/or e-mail address and/or to the attention of such other Person as the recipient party has specified by written notice given to each other party five (5) calendar days prior to the effectiveness of such change.  Written confirmation of receipt (A) given by the recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (B) mechanically or electronically generated by the sender’s facsimile machine or e-mail containing the time, date, recipient facsimile number and an image of the first page of such transmission or (C) provided by an overnight courier service shall be rebuttable evidence of personal service, receipt by facsimile or receipt from an overnight courier service in accordance with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively.
 
(g)         Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the Common Shares or the Warrants.  Neither Ocuphire nor Rexahn shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, including by way of a Fundamental Transaction (unless Rexahn is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Warrants and other than the Merger in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Executed Merger Agreement).  A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder without the consent of Ocuphire or Rexahn, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.
 
(h)         Third Party Beneficiaries.  The Placement Agent shall be a third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of the Buyers in Section 2, the representations and warranties of Ocuphire in Section 3 and the representations and warranties of Rexahn in Section 4.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that each Indemnitee (as defined below) shall have the right to enforce the obligations of Ocuphire and Rexahn with respect to Section 10(k) and as otherwise set forth in this Section 10(h).
 
(i)          Survival.  Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 9, the representations and warranties of Ocuphire, Rexahn and the Buyers contained in Sections 2, 3 and 4, and the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 5, 6 and 10 shall survive the Closing.  Each Buyer, and each of Ocuphire and Rexahn, shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
 
56

(j)          Further Assurances.  Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
(k)         Indemnification.
 
(i)         In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of Ocuphire’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, Ocuphire shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and each other holder of the Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by Ocuphire in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document of Ocuphire contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Ocuphire contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document of Ocuphire contemplated hereby or thereby, (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of Ocuphire or Rexahn) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (iii) any disclosure made by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(j), or (iv) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities as an investor in Ocuphire pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or (d) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by the Escrow Agent.  To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by Ocuphire may be unenforceable for any reason, Ocuphire shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 10(k)(i) shall be the same as those set forth in Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement.
 
57

(ii)         In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of Rexahn’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, Rexahn (starting immediately after the Closing) shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by Rexahn in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Rexahn contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of Ocuphire or Rexahn) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (iii) any disclosure made by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(j), or (iv) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities as an investor in Rexahn pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by Rexahn may be unenforceable for any reason, Rexahn shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 10(k)(ii) shall be the same as those set forth in Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement.
 
(l)          No Strict Construction.  The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
 
(m)        Remedies.  Each Buyer and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law.  Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law.  Furthermore, each of Ocuphire and Rexahn recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Buyers.  Each of Ocuphire and Rexahn therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.
 
(n)        Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and either Ocuphire or Rexahn does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to Ocuphire or Rexahn, as applicable, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
 
58

(o)         Payment Set Aside.  To the extent that Ocuphire or Rexahn makes a payment or payments to the Buyers hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to Ocuphire or Rexahn, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
 
(p)         Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of each Buyer under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and each of Ocuphire and Rexahn acknowledges that the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group, and neither Ocuphire nor Rexahn shall assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and each of Ocuphire and Rexahn acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each of Ocuphire and Rexahn acknowledges and each Buyer confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors.  Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

ANNEX I

Rexahn represents and warrants to each of the Buyers that, as of the time of completion of the Merger on the Closing Date:

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

(e)          SEC Documents; Financial Statements.  Except as disclosed in Schedule A1(e), during the two (2) years prior to the date of completion of the Merger, Rexahn has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date of completion of the Merger or prior to the Closing Date, and all exhibits included therein and financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, but excluding the Form S-4, being hereinafter referred to as the “SEC Documents”). Rexahn has delivered to the Buyers or their respective representatives true, correct and complete copies of the SEC Documents not available on the EDGAR system. As of their respective filing dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act applicable to Rexahn and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  As of the effective date of the Final Form S-4, including any amendments thereto, the Final Form S-4, other than the sections of the Final Form S-4 titled “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Ocuphire,” “Ocuphire Business,” “Ocuphire Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Related Party Transactions of Directors and Executive Officers of the Combined Company – Ocuphire Transactions” and “Principal Stockholders of Ocuphire,” did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  As of their respective filing dates, the financial statements of Rexahn included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto.  As of the date hereof and as of the effective date of the Final Form S-4 and any amendment thereto, the financial statements of Rexahn included in the Final Form S-4 comply and complied, as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto.  Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of Rexahn and the Rexahn Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments which will not be material, either individually or in the aggregate).  No other information provided by or on behalf of Rexahn to any of the Buyers which is not included in the SEC Documents (including, without limitation, information referred to in Section 2(d) of this Agreement or in the disclosure schedules to this Agreement), when taken together with all of the information provided by or on behalf of Rexahn to any of the Buyers, the SEC Documents, the Final Form S-4 and the Executed Merger Agreement (including the schedules thereto) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstance under which they are or were made, not misleading. As of the date of this Agreement, and except for the transactions contemplated by the Executed Merger Agreement and this Agreement or as otherwise disclosed pursuant to the Parent Disclosure Schedule (as defined in the Executed Merger Agreement) or the disclosure schedules to this Agreement, no event, liability, development or circumstance had occurred or existed, or was contemplated to occur with respect to Rexahn, the Rexahn Subsidiaries or their respective business, properties, prospects, operations or financial condition, that would have been required to be disclosed by Rexahn under applicable securities laws on a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC relating to an issuance and sale by Rexahn of its Rexahn Common Stock and which had not been publicly announced as of the date of this Agreement.
 

(f)          No Undisclosed Events, Liabilities, Developments or Circumstances.  As of (i) the date of this Agreement and (ii) except as would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Rexahn Material Adverse Effect, the date of completion of the Merger, no event, liability, development or circumstance has occurred or exists, or is contemplated to occur with respect to Rexahn, the Rexahn Subsidiaries or their respective business, properties, prospects, operations or financial condition, that would be required to be disclosed by Rexahn under applicable securities laws on a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC relating to an issuance and sale by Rexahn of its Rexahn Common Stock and which has not been publicly announced.
 
(g)       Regulatory Permits.  Rexahn and each of the Rexahn Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate foreign, federal or state regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Rexahn Material Adverse Effect, and as of (i) the date of this Agreement and (ii) except as would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Rexahn Material Adverse Effect, the date of completion of the Merger, neither Rexahn nor any such Rexahn Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit.

Based on the consolidated financial condition of Rexahn as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by Ocuphire of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder: (i) the fair saleable value of Rexahn’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of Rexahn’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) Rexahn’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by Rexahn, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of Rexahn, together with the proceeds Rexahn would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. Rexahn does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). Rexahn has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. Schedule A1(t) sets forth as of the date of completion of the Merger all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of Rexahn or any Rexahn Subsidiary, or for which Rexahn or any Rexahn Subsidiary has commitments.  For the purposes of this Section 4, “Indebtedness” means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than trade account payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in Rexahn’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP. Neither Rexahn nor any Rexahn Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.
 
(u)       Acknowledgment Regarding Buyer’s Trading Activity. Rexahn acknowledges and agrees that, except as set forth in the Leak-Out Agreements, (i) none of the Buyers has been asked to agree, nor has any Buyer agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of Rexahn, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by Rexahn or to hold the Securities for any specified term; (ii) any Buyer, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Buyer is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Rexahn Common Stock and (iii) each Buyer shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counter-party in any “derivative” transaction.  Rexahn further understands and acknowledges that (a) one or more Buyers may engage in hedging and/or trading activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Warrant Shares are being determined and (b) such hedging and/or trading activities, if any, can reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interest in Rexahn both at and after the time the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted.  Rexahn acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging and/or trading activities do not constitute a breach of this Agreement, the Warrants or any of the documents executed in connection herewith.
 

(v)         Manipulation of Price.  Rexahn has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result, or that could reasonably be expected to cause or result, in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of Rexahn to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) other than the Placement Agent, sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) other than the Placement Agent, paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of Rexahn.
 
(w)       FDA. As to each Pharmaceutical Product subject to the jurisdiction of the FDA under the FDCA that is manufactured, packaged, labeled, tested, distributed, sold, and/or marketed by Rexahn or any of its Rexahn, such Pharmaceutical Product is being manufactured, packaged, labeled, tested, distributed, sold and/or marketed by Rexahn in compliance with all applicable requirements under FDCA and similar laws, rules and regulations relating to registration, investigational use, premarket clearance, licensure, or application approval, good manufacturing practices, good laboratory practices, good clinical practices, product listing, quotas, labeling, advertising, record keeping and filing of reports, except where the failure to be in compliance would not have a Rexahn Material Adverse Effect. There is no pending, completed or, to Rexahn’s knowledge, threatened, action (including any lawsuit, arbitration, or legal or administrative or regulatory proceeding, charge, complaint, or investigation) against Rexahn or any of its Rexahn Subsidiaries, and none of Rexahn or any of its Rexahn Subsidiaries has received any notice, warning letter or other communication from the FDA or any other governmental entity, which (i) contests the premarket clearance, licensure, registration, or approval of, the uses of, the distribution of, the manufacturing or packaging of, the testing of, the sale of, or the labeling and promotion of any Pharmaceutical Product, (ii) withdraws its approval of, requests the recall, suspension, or seizure of, or withdraws or orders the withdrawal of advertising or sales promotional materials relating to, any Pharmaceutical Product, (iii) imposes a clinical hold on any clinical investigation by Rexahn or any of its Rexahn Subsidiaries, (iv) enjoins production at any facility of Rexahn or any of its Rexahn Subsidiaries, (v) enters or proposes to enter into a consent decree of permanent injunction with Rexahn or any of its Rexahn Subsidiaries, or (vi) otherwise alleges any violation of any laws, rules or regulations by Rexahn or any of its Rexahn Subsidiaries, and which, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a Rexahn Material Adverse Effect. The properties, business and operations of Rexahn have been and are being conducted in all material respects in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the FDA.  As of (i) the date of this Agreement and (ii) except as would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Rexahn Material Adverse Effect, the date of completion of the Merger, except as set forth on Schedule A1(w) or as disclosed in the SEC Documents, Rexahn has not been informed by the FDA that the FDA will prohibit the marketing, sale, license or use in the United States of any product proposed to be developed, produced or marketed by Rexahn nor has the FDA expressed any concern as to approving or clearing for marketing any product being developed or proposed to be developed by Rexahn.
 
(x)         U.S. Real Property Holding Corporation.  Neither Rexahn nor any of the Rexahn Subsidiaries is, or has ever been, and so long as any of the Securities are held by any of the Buyers, shall become, a U.S. real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Rexahn and each Rexahn Subsidiary shall so certify upon any Buyer’s request.
 

(y)         Eligibility for Registration.  Rexahn is eligible to register the Warrant Shares for resale by the Buyers using Form S-3 promulgated under the 1933 Act.
 
(z)         Transfer Taxes.  On the Closing Date, all stock transfer or other taxes (other than income or similar taxes) which are required to be paid in connection with the issuance, sale and transfer of the Securities to be sold to each Buyer hereunder will be, or will have been, fully paid or provided for by Rexahn, and all laws imposing such taxes will be or will have been complied with.
 
(aa)       Bank Holding Company Act. Neither Rexahn nor any of the Rexahn Subsidiaries or affiliates is subject to BHCA and to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve.  Neither Rexahn nor any of the Rexahn Subsidiaries or affiliates owns or controls, directly or indirectly, five percent (5%) or more of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities or twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total equity of a bank or any entity that is subject to the BHCA and to regulation by the Federal Reserve.  Neither Rexahn nor any of the Rexahn Subsidiaries or affiliates exercises a controlling influence over the management or policies of a bank or any entity that is subject to the BHCA and to regulation by the Federal Reserve.

(cc)        Disclosure. Except for discussions specifically regarding the offer and sale of the Securities, Rexahn confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Buyers or their agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute material, non-public information concerning Ocuphire, the Ocuphire Subsidiaries, Rexahn or any of the Rexahn Subsidiaries, other than the existence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Rexahn Transaction Documents.  Rexahn understands and confirms that each of the Buyers will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of Rexahn.  All disclosure provided to the Buyers regarding Rexahn and the Rexahn Subsidiaries, their businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of Rexahn or any of the Rexahn Subsidiaries when taken together with all of the information provided by or on behalf of Rexahn to any of the Buyers, the SEC Documents, the Final Form S-4 and the Executed Merger Agreement (including the schedules thereto), is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  All of the written information furnished after the date of completion of the Merger by or on behalf of Rexahn or any of the Rexahn Subsidiaries to you pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement and the other Rexahn Transaction Documents, taken as a whole, will be true and correct in all material respects as of the date on which such information is so provided and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.  Each press release issued by Rexahn or any of the Rexahn Subsidiaries during the twelve (12) months preceding the date of this Agreement did not at the time of release contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  No event or circumstance has occurred or information exists with respect to Rexahn or any of the Rexahn Subsidiaries or its or their business, properties, liabilities, prospects, operations (including results thereof) or conditions (financial or otherwise), which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure at or before the date of completion of the Merger or announcement by Rexahn but which has not been so publicly disclosed.  Rexahn acknowledges and agrees that no Buyer makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 2.

Dear Sirs:

(“Ocuphire”), Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to be renamed Ocuphire Pharma, Inc. (“Rexahn”) and the investors party thereto (the “Buyers”), with respect to the issuance of (i) shares of Ocuphire’s common stock, [●] par value  per share (the “Ocuphire Common Stock”), and (ii) two series of warrants (the “Warrants”), which Warrants will be exercisable to purchase shares of Rexahn’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Rexahn Common Stock,” and together with the Ocuphire Common Stock, the “Common Stock”).  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
 
In order to induce the Buyers to enter into the Securities Purchase Agreement, the undersigned agrees that, commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date that is ninety (90) calendar days after the earliest of (x) such time as all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1), (y) the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, and (z) the date that the Initial Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission; provided that, this clause (z) shall only apply if there are no Cutback Shares (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) arising from the Initial Registration Statement, the undersigned will not, and will cause all affiliates (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act) of the undersigned or any person in privity with the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned not to, (A) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents owned directly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “Undersigned’s Shares”), or (B) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of the Undersigned’s Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (A) or (B) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, (C) make any demand for or exercise any right or cause to be filed a registration statement, including any amendments thereto, with respect to the registration of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or (D) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.
 

The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned, and any affiliate of the undersigned and any person in privity with the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned, from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Undersigned’s Shares even if the Undersigned’s Shares would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned.  Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include, without limitation, any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any of the Undersigned’s Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from the Undersigned’s Shares.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the Undersigned’s Shares (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein or (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value.
 
For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.  The undersigned now has, and, except as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, for the duration of this Lock-Up Agreement will have, good and marketable title to the Undersigned’s Shares, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever.  The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with Rexahn’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and registrar against the transfer of the Undersigned’s Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
 
In order to enforce this covenant, Rexahn shall impose irrevocable stop-transfer instructions preventing the Transfer Agent from effecting any actions in violation of this Lock-Up Agreement.
 
The undersigned acknowledges that the execution, delivery and performance of this Lock-Up Agreement is a material inducement to each Buyer to complete the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and that Rexahn shall be entitled to specific performance of the undersigned’s obligations hereunder. The undersigned hereby represents that the undersigned has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Lock-Up Agreement, that the undersigned has received adequate consideration therefor and that the undersigned will indirectly benefit from the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement.
 
2

The undersigned understands and agrees that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
 
This Lock-Up Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but both of which shall be considered one and the same instrument.
 
This Lock-Up Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the State of New York, or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York to be applied.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal laws of the State of New York will control the interpretation and construction of this Lock-Up Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

Exhibit 99.1


Rexahn and Ocuphire Enter into Definitive Merger Agreement

Transaction to Create a Nasdaq-listed Biopharmaceutical Company Focused on Advancing Ocuphire’s Late-Stage Clinical Pipeline of Ophthalmic Drug Candidates

$21.15 Million Investment Committed by Institutional Healthcare and Accredited Investors

ROCKVILLE, MD and FARMINGTON HILLS, MI – June 17, 2020 - Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqCM: REXN) and Ocuphire Pharma, Inc., a privately-held clinical-stage ophthalmic biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapies for the treatment of eye disorders, today announced the companies have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Ocuphire will merge with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rexahn in an all-stock transaction. Following closing, which is expected to occur in the second half of 2020, the combined company will change its name to Ocuphire Pharma, Inc. and is expected to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “OCUP.” The combined company will focus on the advancement of its pipeline of ophthalmic drug candidates.

Certain institutional healthcare and other accredited investors, including certain Ocuphire directors and executives, have also committed to invest $21.15 million in a private placement that will close immediately prior to the closing of the merger, assuming the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. Investors in this pre-merger financing will receive Ocuphire common stock prior to closing, which will convert into Rexahn common stock upon closing of the merger. Additionally, following the closing of the merger, Rexahn will issue to these investors warrants to purchase shares of Rexahn common stock and, potentially, additional shares of Rexahn common stock.

“After completing a comprehensive review of multiple strategic alternatives, we determined that the proposed merger with Ocuphire would provide the best opportunity for Rexahn shareholders moving forward,” said Douglas J. Swirsky, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rexahn. “The decision by our management and board to choose Ocuphire to be our merger partner will allow our shareholders to participate in a dynamic company with a robust pipeline, backed by a sizeable commitment from institutional investors to continue the development of multiple drug candidates in a growing ophthalmic market.”

Ocuphire has built a pipeline of multiple product candidates with demonstrated clinical activity that target high value markets. Its lead product candidate, Nyxol® Eye Drops (“Nyxol”), is a once-daily eye drop formulation of phentolamine mesylate designed to reduce pupil diameter and improve visual acuity. Nyxol is being developed to treat dim light or night vision disturbances, pharmacologically-induced mydriasis, and presbyopia. Ocuphire’s second product candidate, APX3330, is a twice-a-day oral tablet, designed to target multiple pathways relevant to retinal diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema. Ocuphire plans to initiate two Phase 3 registration trials and two Phase 2 trials across four indications in the second half of 2020, expecting top-line results to read out as early as the first quarter of 2021 and throughout the remainder of 2021.


“This merger is transformative for Ocuphire as we look to advance our late-clinical stage small molecule ophthalmic pipeline, with multiple Phase 3 and Phase 2 clinical data catalysts expected in 2021” said Mina Sooch, President and CEO of Ocuphire. “We believe the target product profiles of our two product candidates, Nyxol and APX3330, collectively studied in 18 clinical trials and each with large market potentials, creates an opportunity for Ocuphire to become a leading ophthalmic company focused on improving vision and clarity.”

About the Proposed Transaction
 
Under the terms of the merger agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including (i) the receipt of the required approval of the Ocuphire stockholders and Rexahn stockholders, (ii) the closing of the pre-merger financing and (iii) Rexahn having a minimum amount of net cash at closing, Ocuphire will merge with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rexahn, with Ocuphire surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rexahn.

Upon completion of the merger, Ocuphire stockholders will receive newly issued shares of Rexahn common stock pursuant to an exchange ratio formula set forth in the merger agreement. Under the terms of the merger agreement, immediately following the consummation of the merger, Rexahn’s then-current stockholders would own approximately 14.3% of the combined company’s common stock, and the former Ocuphire securityholders would own approximately 85.7% of the combined company’s common stock, in each case calculated on a fully-diluted basis, assuming Rexahn’s net cash balance at closing is between $3.2 million and $6.0 million. The exchange ratio formula in the merger agreement is subject to adjustment for every $100,000 that Rexahn’s actual net cash balance at closing is less than $3.2 million or more than $6.0 million. Based on Rexahn’s current estimates, Rexahn believes that it is reasonably likely to deliver significantly less than $3.2 million at closing. If, for example, Rexahn’s actual net cash balance at closing is $0, which is the minimum amount of net cash that Rexahn is required to deliver at closing, then immediately following the consummation of the merger, Rexahn’s then-current stockholders would own approximately 11.2% of the combined company’s common stock, and the former Ocuphire securityholders would own approximately 88.8% of the combined company’s common stock, in each case calculated on a fully-diluted basis. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Rexahn’s stockholders’ ownership percentage in the combined company is subject to a floor of 9.1% regardless of Rexahn’s actual net cash balance at closing, assuming Ocuphire waives the minimum net cash requirement at closing. These ownership percentages give effect to the shares of Ocuphire common stock that will be issued to investors in the pre-merger financing prior to the closing of the merger, but do not account for any additional shares of Rexahn common stock that may be issued following the closing or the warrants issuable to investors after closing. As a result, Ocuphire securityholders and holders of Rexahn common stock could own less of the combined company than currently contemplated.

In addition, immediately prior to the closing of the merger, Rexahn stockholders of record will be issued contingent value rights representing the right to receive, during the 15-year period after the closing of the merger, (i) 90% of payments received by the combined company pursuant to its licensing agreements with BioSense Global LLC and Zhejiang HaiChang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and (ii) 75% of the proceeds received by the combined company from the monetization of Rexahn’s existing intellectual property during the 10-year period after the closing of the merger, in each case, less certain permitted deductions.

The merger agreement has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of each company. Following the merger, Mina Sooch will be appointed to serve as the post-merger combined company’s president and chief executive officer. The board of directors for the post-merger combined company will be comprised of seven directors, one of whom will be Richard Rodgers, a current member of the Rexahn board of directors, and the remaining six directors will include existing Ocuphire board members and an additional director designated by Ocuphire.
