Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 31, 2017, Precipio, Inc. (the “ Company ”) entered into a Debt Settlement Agreement (the “ Settlement Agreement ”) with certain of its accounts payable vendors (the “Creditors”) pursuant to which the Creditors agreed to a reduction of approximately $5.0 million in currently due vendor liabilities. The Company and the Creditors agreed to restructure these liabilities into approximately $2.5 million in secured, long-term vendor obligations with payments beginning in July 2018 and continuing over 48 months. In connection with the settlement, the Company agreed to issue to certain of the Creditors warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase approximately 86,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share.

The Company also entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”), dated October 31, 2017, with a collateral agent for the Creditors, pursuant to which the Company granted to the collateral agent, for the benefit of the Creditors, a security interest in certain property of the Company to secure its obligations under the Settlement Agreement.

The Warrants have a per share exercise price of $7.50, are exercisable on the date of issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The Company does not plan to apply to list the Warrants on the NASDAQ Capital Market, any other national securities exchange or any other nationally recognized trading system.

(A) An executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto;

 

2


(B) Payment of the Exercise Price either (i) in cash or by check or (ii) pursuant to Section 2.2 below; and

(C) This Warrant.

Execution and delivery of the Notice of Exercise 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 Exercise Shares, if any.

Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent of the Company to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system if the Company is a participant in such system, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise within three business days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, surrender of this Warrant and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price is received by the Company.

The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

Subject to the final sentence of this paragraph and to the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Exercise Shares in accordance with the terms 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 entity or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other person or entity of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person or entity, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Exercise Shares. The Holder shall, subject to the following proviso, have the right to pursue any 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 Exercise Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof; provided , however , that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant or in the Settlement Agreements, if the Company is for any reason unable to deliver Exercise Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall have no obligation to pay to the Holder any cash or other consideration or otherwise “net cash settle” this Warrant.

Except for cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 5 , this Warrant may not be settled by the Company for cash to the Holder in lieu of Common Stock.

2.2 Net Exercise . If during the Exercise Period the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash or by check, the Holder may, at its election, effect a “net exercise” of this Warrant, in which event, if so effected, the Holder shall receive Exercise Shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X =    Y (A – B)
   A

Where:

X = the number of Exercise Shares to be issued to the Holder;

Y = the number of Exercise Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised;

A = the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation); and

B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

For purposes of this Warrant, the “ Fair Market Value ” of one share of Common Stock shall mean (i) the average of the closing sales prices for the shares of Common Stock on The NASDAQ Global Market or other Eligible Market where the Common Stock is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets (or a comparable reporting service of national reputation selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Holder if Bloomberg Financial Markets is not then reporting sales prices of such security) (collectively, “ Bloomberg ”) for the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Exercise Date, or (ii) if an Eligible Market is not the principal Trading Market for the shares of Common Stock, the average of the reported sales prices reported by Bloomberg on the principal Trading Market for the Common Stock during the same period, or, if there is no sales price for such period, the last sales price reported by Bloomberg for such period, or (iii) if neither of the foregoing applies, the last sales price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the pink sheets or bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or if no sales price is so reported for such security, the last bid price of such security as reported by Bloomberg or (iv) if fair market value cannot be calculated as of such date on any of the foregoing bases, the fair market value shall be as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in the exercise of its good faith judgment.

2.3 Issuance Of New Warrants . Upon any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith and, in any event within five business days, issue and deliver to the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, registered in the name of the Holder, exercisable, in the aggregate, for the balance of the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for purchase under this Warrant.

 

4


2.4 Payment Of Taxes And Expenses . The Company shall pay any recording, filing, stamp or similar tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of, and the preparation and delivery of certificates (if applicable) representing, (i) any Exercise Shares purchased upon exercise of this Warrant and/or (ii) new or replacement warrants in the Holder’s name or the name of any transferee of all or any portion of this Warrant; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance, delivery or registration of any certificates for Exercise Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Exercise Shares upon exercise hereof.

3. Covenants of the Company .

3.1 Covenants as to Exercise Shares . The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such corporate action in compliance with applicable law as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

3.2 Notices of Record Date and Certain Other Events . In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution, a notice specifying such date. In the event of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of the occurrence of any such event, a notice specifying such date. In the event the Company authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating, or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction, as defined in Section 6 herein, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of the closing of such event, a notice specifying such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.

4. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Shares . The Exercise Price and number of Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4 .

 

5


(A) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

(B) If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case, “ Distributed Property ”), then in each such case the Holder shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant for the purchase of any or all of the Exercise Shares, to receive the amount of Distributed Property which would have been payable to the Holder had such Holder been the holder of such Exercise Shares on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to such Distributed Property. The Company will at all times set aside in escrow and keep available for distribution to such holder upon exercise of this Warrant a portion of the Distributed Property to satisfy the distribution to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(C) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 , the Company at its expense will, at the written request of the Holder, promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Exercise Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s transfer agent.

5. Fractional Shares . No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share (a) the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then-current fair market value of an Exercise Share by such fraction and (b) the number of Exercise Shares to be issued will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

 

6


6. Fundamental Transactions . This Warrant shall terminate upon a Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall provide written notice to the Holder of a Fundamental Transaction at least ten days prior to the consummation thereof. Such notice shall contain the terms of such Fundamental Transaction.

7. No Stockholder Rights . Other than as provided in Section 3.2 or otherwise herein, this Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

8. Transfer of Warrant . Subject to applicable laws and any restrictions on transfer set forth in the Settlement Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated by Holder. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel. Any purported transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in violation of the provisions of this Warrant shall be null and void.

9. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant . If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

10. Notices, Etc . All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed facsimile to the facsimile number specified in writing by the recipient or by email if sent during normal business hours of the recipient on a Trading Day, if not, then on the next Trading Day, (c) the next Trading Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company at the address listed on the signature page hereto and to Holder at the applicable address set forth on the applicable signature page to the Settlement Agreement or at such other address as the Company or Holder may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.

11. Acceptance . Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.

12. Governing Law . This Warrant and all rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

7


13. Amendment or Waiver . Any term of this Warrant may be amended or waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with the written consent of the Company and the Holder. No waivers of any term, condition or provision of this Warrant, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provision.

Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Vendors for any action taken or omitted by it as such under the Agreement or hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, be responsible for the consequence of any oversight or error of judgment or answerable for any loss, unless caused solely by its or their gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction. The duties of the Collateral Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Collateral Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or the Security Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Company or any Vendor; nothing in the Agreement or the Security Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Collateral Agent any obligations in respect of the Agreement or the Security Agreement except as expressly set forth herein and therein.

3. LACK OF RELIANCE ON THE COLLATERAL AGENT . Independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent, each Vendor, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with the Company’s obligations to such Vendor, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Security Agreement, and the taking or not taking of any action in connection therewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Company and its subsidiaries, and of the value of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) from time to time, and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Vendor with any credit, market or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before any obligations are incurred or at any time or times thereafter. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Company or any Vendor for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing of other persons delivered by the Collateral Agent in connection herewith, or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of the Agreement, the Security Agreement, or for the financial condition of the Company or the value of any of the Collateral, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Agreement or the Security Agreement, or the financial condition of the Company, or the value of any of the Collateral, or the existence or possible existence of any default or Event of Default under this Agreement.


4. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT . The Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any action with respect to the Collateral, on behalf of all of the Vendors upon the written election of the Required Vendors.

Without limiting the foregoing, (a) no Vendor shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of the Collateral Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Security Agreement, and the Company shall have no right to question or challenge the authority of, or the instructions given to, the Collateral Agent by the Required Vendors pursuant to the foregoing and (b) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action which the Collateral Agent believes (i) could reasonably be expected to expose it to personal liability or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement, the Security Agreement or applicable law.

5. RELIANCE . The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any written notice, statement, certificate or other document (whether transmitted physically or by e-mail) signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement, the Security Agreement and its duties hereunder and thereunder. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Vendor to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Company or is cared for, protected or insured or that the liens granted pursuant to the Agreement have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority.

6. PERMITTED SUBORDINATION AND RELEASE . The Required Vendors may instruct the Collateral Agent to agree to release in whole or in part or to subordinate any Collateral to any claim or other actual or proposed security interest and may enter into any agreement with the Company to evidence such subordination.

7. INDEMNIFICATION .

Prior to taking any action hereunder as Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may require each Vendor to deposit with it sufficient sums as it determines in good faith is necessary to protect the Collateral Agent for costs and expenses associated with taking such action.


8. EXCULPATION . The Collateral Agent and its officers, employees, attorneys and agents, shall not incur any liability whatsoever for the holding or delivery of documents or the taking of any other action in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than the filings of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements), for any mistake or error in judgment, for compliance with any applicable law or any attachment, order or other directive of any court or other authority (irrespective of any conflicting term or provision of this Agreement), or for any act or omission of any other person engaged by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Agreement, unless occasioned by the exculpated person’s own gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or material breach of the terms of this Agreement and or the Security Agreement; and each party hereto hereby waives any and all claims and actions whatsoever against the Collateral Agent and its officers, employees, attorneys and agents, arising out of or related directly or indirectly to any or all of such foregoing exculpated acts, omissions and circumstances.

9. SEGREGATED FUNDS . Any funds held by the Collateral Agent hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Collateral Agent shall be under no liability for interest on any funds received by it hereunder.

10. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES NOT WAIVED . No act, omission or delay by the Collateral Agent shall constitute a waiver of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder or otherwise. No single or partial waiver by the Collateral Agent of any default hereunder or right or remedy that it may have shall operate as a waiver of any other default, right or remedy or of the same default, right or remedy on a future occasion.

11. FEES . Upon the execution of this agreement, the Company will pay the Collateral Agent a fee of $2,500 and thereafter the sum of $2,500 per month on the first of each month for agreeing to act as the Collateral Agent hereunder and for reading and becoming familiar with the documents. All payments due to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement including reimbursements must be paid when billed. Payments required pursuant to this Agreement shall be secured under the Security Agreement and shall rank pari passu to the Vendors’ interests in the Settlement Amounts in right of payment and security. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to deduct any sums due the Collateral Agent from Collateral in the Collateral Agent’s possession.

12. OTHER ACTIVITIES .

Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, following the written request of the Required Vendors, the Company shall, upon receipt of any revenue, income, dividend, interest or other sums subject to the Security Interests, or of any check, draft, note, trade acceptance or other instrument evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum, hold the same in trust for the Secured Parties and shall forthwith endorse and transfer any such sums or instruments, or both, to the Collateral Agent for distribution to the Secured Parties, pro-rata in proportion to their respective then-currently outstanding Obligations for application to the satisfaction of the Obligations.

7. Rights and Remedies Upon Default .

(a) Upon and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise, upon the written direction of the Required Vendors, all of the remedies conferred hereunder and under the Settlement Agreement, and the Collateral Agent shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall comply with any applicable law in connection with a disposition of Collateral and such compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may but is under no obligation to do so (other than as and to the extent provided for in the Settlement Agreement) acting upon the written direction of the Required Vendors, sell the Collateral without giving any warranties and may specifically disclaim such warranties.

8. Applications of Proceeds . The proceeds of any such sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder or from payments made on account of any insurance policy insuring any portion of the Collateral shall be applied then to satisfaction of the Obligations pro rata among the Secured Parties (based on then-outstanding Settlement Amounts at the time of any such determination), after which the Secured Parties shall pay to the Company any surplus proceeds. If, upon the sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Parties are legally entitled, the Company will be liable for the deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company waives all claims, damages and demands against the Collateral Agent arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral at the direction of the Required Vendors, unless due solely to the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction.

9. Responsibility for Collateral . The Company assumes all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all Collateral, and the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the loss, destruction, damage or theft of any of the Collateral or its unavailability for

any reason. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Collateral Agent (i) has no duty (either before or after an Event of Default) to collect any amounts in respect of the Collateral or to preserve any rights relating to the Collateral, nor (ii) has any obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale, and (b) the Company shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement included in the Collateral to be observed or performed by the Company thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall the Collateral Agent be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of the Company under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Collateral Agent or to which the Collateral Agent or may be entitled at any time or times.

10. Security Interests Absolute . All rights of the Secured Parties and all obligations of the Company hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Settlement Agreement or this Agreement, (b) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any of the Collateral, (c) any action by the Collateral Agent, acting upon the written direction of the Required Vendors, to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole discretion any insurance claims or matters made or arising in connection with the Collateral, or (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a discharge of all or any part of the Security Interests granted hereby. In the event that at any time any transfer of any Collateral or any payment received by the Secured Parties hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party other than the Secured Parties, then, in any such event, the Company’s obligations hereunder shall be reinstated.

11. Term of Agreement . This Agreement and the Security Interest shall terminate on the date on which all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been paid or discharged or as provided in the Settlement Agreement.

12. Notices . All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals, and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 7 of the Settlement Agreement.

13. Miscellaneous .

(a) No course of dealing between the Company and the Collateral Agent, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Settlement Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

(b) All of the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral, whether established hereby or by the Settlement Agreement, this Agreement or by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently.

(c) This Agreement, together with the Settlement Agreement, is the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the settlement contemplated herein and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect thereto. This Agreement may only be modified by a writing signed by the Company and the Collateral Agent (acting upon the written direction of the Required Vendors).

(d) If any clause or provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement will not be affected thereby. It is the intention of the parties that if any such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, there will be added in lieu thereof a provision as similar in terms to such provision as is possible, and that such added provision will be legal, valid and enforceable.

(e) No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

(f) The Company may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of the Collateral Agent, acting upon the written direction of the Required Vendors and the Collateral Agent may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder other than in connection with its resignation as Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 13 of Exhibit C to the Settlement Agreement; any assignment or attempted assignment by any party hereto without the requisite consent shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may assign its rights and obligations hereunder in connection with a sale of the business, whether through a merger, consolidation, transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or in a similar transaction.

(g) This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof for resolution of any dispute regarding, arising from, or in any way relating to this Agreement or the negotiations which gave rise to this Agreement. By executing this Agreement the parties hereto agree to waive any defense or argument based on lack of personal jurisdiction, inconvenient forum, or any other objection or argument against the exercise of jurisdiction by the State of New York over the issues and parties in this matter. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Settlement Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(h) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

(i) The Company shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents (and any other persons with other titles that have similar functions) (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses, of any kind or nature, (including fees relating to the cost of investigating and defending any of the foregoing) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee by the Company in any way related to or arising from or alleged to arise from this Agreement, the Settlement Agreement or the Collateral, except any such losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses which result from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee as determined by a final, nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. This indemnification provision is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other indemnification provision in the Settlement Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or other document executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith.

(j) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to subject Collateral Agent to liability as a partner in the Company or any if its direct or indirect subsidiaries that is a partnership or as a member in the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries that is a limited liability company, nor shall Collateral Agent be deemed to have assumed any obligations under any partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, of the Company or any if its direct or indirect subsidiaries or otherwise, unless and until the Collateral Agent exercises its right to be substituted for the Company as a partner or member, as applicable, pursuant hereto.

(k) To the extent that the grant of the security interest in the Collateral and the enforcement of the terms hereof require the consent, approval or action of any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company or compliance with any provisions of any of the Organizational Documents, the Company hereby grants such consent and approval and waives any such noncompliance with the terms of said documents.
