(k) Investment Representations. GliaMed understands that the Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities laws and La Jolla is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of GliaMed set forth in this Section 3.1(k) to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of GliaMed to acquire the Shares. GliaMed understands that no United States federal or state agency or any government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.

(iii) Rule 144. GliaMed understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act (recognizing that La Jolla has no obligation hereunder to effect such registration) or an exemption from registration is available. GliaMed acknowledges that it is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the SEC, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and that GliaMed has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. GliaMed understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, it will be unable to sell any Shares without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.
(l) Certain Fees. GliaMed has not employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage or investment banking fees, commissions, finders’ structuring fees, financial advisory fees or other similar fees in connection with this Agreement.

From and after the Closing, GliaMed and its Affiliates shall keep confidential and not disclose to any Third Party or use for their own benefit or the benefit of any Third Party, any information or data included within the Purchased Assets. From and after the Closing until the delivery of the Pre-Clinical Shares to GliaMed, La Jolla and Jewel shall keep confidential any scientific or technical information or data included within the Purchased Assets that would, as of the Closing, constitute a “trade secret” under the California Uniform Trade Secrets Act, and shall provide that any disclosure of such information to a Third Party shall be made only pursuant to a non-disclosure agreement in customary form. The obligations under this Section 4.1 shall not apply to information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of the commitment provided for in this Section; (ii) is disclosed by a Third Party without breach of confidentiality obligation to the other party, or (iii) is required to be disclosed by law, order or regulation of a court or tribunal or non-tax government authority; provided, however, that in any such case under (iii) and if permitted by law, the disclosing party shall notify the other party as early as reasonably practicable prior to disclosure to allow the other party to take appropriate measures to preserve the confidentiality of such information.
4.2 Inspection of Records. GliaMed agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate access for La Jolla and Jewel to records retained by any CRO with whom GliaMed contracted for research, development or manufacturing services related to the Compound or GliaMed Technology prior to the Closing Date (the “CRO Records”). For a three-year period following the Closing Date, and upon written request from La Jolla or Jewel, GliaMed shall authorize such CRO to permit access to La Jolla or Jewel of any and all CRO Records retained by such CRO and shall, at the request of La Jolla or Jewel, direct the CRO to transfer all CRO Records to La Jolla, Jewel or their designated agent(s).

20


 

4.3 Diligence Covenants.
(a) La Jolla and Jewel will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) commence the Pre-Clinical Study as promptly as practicable following the Closing, and in any event, within 15 days from the Closing Date, and (ii) complete and obtain the results from the Pre-Clinical Study as promptly as practicable following the Closing, and in any event, no later than July 31, 2011.
(b) Subject to the achievement of a Successful Pre-Clinical Result, La Jolla will, and will cause Jewel to, use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as the La Jolla Board of Directors may, acting in good faith, deem reasonably necessary to pursue the achievement of the First Milestone and the Second Milestone, which activities may include clinical development, manufacturing procurement and pursuit of FDA or EMA regulatory approval of a Product. In discharging its obligations under this Section 4.3(b), the La Jolla Board shall be entitled to take into account La Jolla’s assets and resources, the breadth, certainty and duration of patent protection for the Compound and any Product, results from any pre-clinical or clinical trials involving the Compound or any Product and such other factors as may reasonably be deemed relevant.
(c) To the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction finds in a final non-appealable order (the “Final Judgment”) that La Jolla materially breached the foregoing covenant in this Section 4.3(b) after GliaMed provided La Jolla with written notice of the alleged breach, identifying the specific alleged grounds for breach, and provided La Jolla with a cure period of no less than 180 days, then GliaMed shall have the right for a period of 30 days following the entry of the Final Judgment to elect to either: (A) demand accelerated payment of the payments due upon the achievement of the First Milestone and the Second Milestone, to the extent not already met, or (B) acquire from La Jolla an exclusive license to the GliaMed Technology bearing a royalty rate in favor of La Jolla of 5% of all net sales by GliaMed (or its licensees or assigns) of any Product (the “Reversion License”), provided, however, that GliaMed may not elect to take the Reversion License if La Jolla has licensed part or all of the rights to the GliaMed Technology to any Third Party prior to the entry of the Final Judgment. To the extent that GliaMed and La Jolla cannot agree on the general terms and conditions of the Reversion License within 90 days from GliaMed’s election to take the Reversion License, then the final form of such license shall be decided by an arbitrator in a proceeding to be conducted pursuant to the J.A.M.S. Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules, with such proceeding to be conducted in San Diego, California and to be concluded within 90 days from selecting the arbitrator. The costs of such arbitration proceeding shall be borne equally by the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator may in his or her sole discretion assess costs, fees, and expenses (including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the prevailing Party) against any Party to a proceeding.

 

21


 

4.4 Dissolution. Upon the dissolution and winding up of GliaMed, which in no event will occur prior to the first anniversary of the Closing, and subject to the execution and delivery to La Jolla by each stockholder of GliaMed (the “GliaMed Designees”) of an assignment and assumption agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to La Jolla, which agreement shall provide, among other things, that the GliaMed Designees shall assume all executory obligations of GliaMed arising hereunder and under the Ancillary Agreements, and shall set forth the pro rata rights and obligations of such GliaMed Designee under this Agreement and the Series E Certificate of Designations (including, without limitation, the indemnification obligations under Article VII and VIII of this Agreement, as well as the pro rata Limitations on Conversions under Article IV of the Series E Certificate of Designations) (the “GliaMed Stockholder Assignment and Assumption Agreement”). La Jolla shall deliver stock certificates for the Shares and Substitute Consideration, as applicable, to the GliaMed Designees, pursuant to the prorate designations set forth in the GliaMed Stockholder Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The GliaMed Designees receiving such Shares shall inure to the benefit of all rights of GliaMed and be severally and not jointly liable for GliaMed’s obligations hereunder (based on the relative indemnification obligations set forth in the GliaMed Stockholder Assignment and Assumption agreement).
4.5 Right of Participation in Future Financing. Subject to the limitations set forth below, GliaMed shall have the following rights to participate in offerings of Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents after the Closing.
(a) Upon any issuance by La Jolla of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (a “Subsequent Financing”), GliaMed shall have the right to purchase up to 12% of the securities offered in the Subsequent Financing on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing, unless the Subsequent Financing is a public offering registered under the Securities Act, in which case La Jolla shall offer GliaMed the right to participate in such public offering when it is lawful for La Jolla to do so, but GliaMed shall not have the right to demand participation in any such public offering. In the event that an Offering is being effected through the exercise of outstanding options, warrants or other purchase rights, including the Cash Warrants, the exercise of such purchase rights will be deemed to represent 88% of the potential Offering size, and GliaMed shall have the right to purchase up to 12% of that grossed-up Offering.
(b) At least 5 Trading Days prior to the planned closing of the Subsequent Financing, La Jolla shall deliver to GliaMed a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask GliaMed if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”). Upon the request of GliaMed, and only upon a request by GliaMed, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, La Jolla shall promptly, but no later than 1 Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to GliaMed. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder, the person(s) through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected, and attached to which shall be any applicable term sheet or similar document relating thereto.

 

22


 

(c) If GliaMed desires to participate in such Subsequent Financing, it must provide written notice to La Jolla by not later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 3rd Trading Day after receiving the Pre-Notice that it may wish to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of GliaMed’s participation, and that GliaMed has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If La Jolla receives no notice from GliaMed as of such 3rd Trading Day, GliaMed shall be deemed to have notified La Jolla that it does not elect to participate.
(d) La Jolla shall provide GliaMed with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and GliaMed will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 4.5, if the Subsequent Financing that was subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within 90 Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.
(e) The right of participation set forth in this Section 4.5 shall commence on the Closing and shall continue until such time that La Jolla has sold an aggregate total of at least $6,000,000 of Common Stock and/or Common Stock Equivalents in one or more Offerings. To the extent that GliaMed has a right of participation for a portion of an Offering, and the amount of that Offering, summed with earlier Offerings, exceeds $6,000,000, the right of participation under this Section 4.5 shall apply only with respect to the portion of the Offering that is within the aggregate $6,000,000 limit set forth in this Section 4.5(e).
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.5 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance.

(b) La Jolla shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all agreements, obligations, covenants and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it on or prior to the Closing Date, including the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.7(b); and
(c) La Jolla shall have filed the Series E Certificate of Designations with the Delaware Secretary of State and it shall be in full force and effect.

(b) by either GliaMed or La Jolla if the Closing has not occurred by March 31, 2011, which date may be extended by mutual consent of the Parties hereto (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.1(b) shall not be available to any Party whose action or failure to act has proximately caused the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement;

6.3 Termination Fees and Expenses. If the Parties terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1, then each Party shall bear its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement.
VII. INDEMNIFICATION
7.1 General Indemnity. From and after the Closing, and subject to the terms and limitations contained herein, each Party (“Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other Party (and their respective directors, officers, Affiliates, members, managers, employees, agents, successors and assigns) (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party as a result of claims, including those brought by Third Parties, arising out of or relating to any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Indemnifying Party herein.

 

25


 

7.2 Indemnification Procedure. Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification under this Article VII shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party within the Survival Period (as defined in Section 9.2) of any matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification, including a Third party action, which notice shall contain a description of the breach, the section(s) of this Agreement alleged to be breached, any related documents and stating the amount of Losses if known (the “Claim”). Claims not made within the Survival Period applicable to the claimed breach shall be barred. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnifying Party a conflict of interest between it and the Indemnified Party exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the Indemnified Parties), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party advises an Indemnified Party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within 30 days of receipt of any indemnification notice (the “Defense Period”) to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the Indemnifying Party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding, only to the extent incurred after the expiration of the Defense Period, shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully 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 which relates to such action or claim. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VII to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the Indemnified Party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim.
7.3 Satisfaction of Claims. With respect to claims for indemnification asserted under this Article VII where GliaMed is the Indemnifying Party, GliaMed shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay for such Losses by tendering for cancellation such number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock as may then have a fair market value equal to the amount of the Loss at issue. In determining the fair market value of the Series E Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 7.3, the Series E Preferred Stock shall be valued on an as-converted basis using the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock over the 10-day period prior to surrendering the Series E Preferred Stock.

 

26


 

7.4 Limitations on Indemnification.
(a) No Party shall be entitled to assert a claim for indemnification under Section 7.1 until such time as the Losses suffered by the affected Indemnified Parties exceed $50,000 in the aggregate, at which time all such claims may be asserted in full from the first dollar thereof.
(b) The aggregate indemnification obligations of each Party pursuant to this Article VII shall be limited to the value of the Pre-Clinical Shares, determined on an as-converted basis and with reference to the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock over the ten trading days following the issuance of the Pre-Clinical Shares; provided, however, that the foregoing limit shall not apply to any Losses suffered by an Indemnified Party relating to: (i) a breach by the Indemnifying Party of any of the Fundamental Representations, or (ii) any Third Party claim relating to an Excluded Liability. In the event of GliaMed’s dissolution and resulting distribution of any portion of the Shares as contemplated in Section 4.4, the maximum liability of each recipient of the Shares formerly held by GliaMed shall be pro rated based their relative ownership of GliaMed common stock, determined on an as-converted basis, as reported to La Jolla pursuant to Section 4.4.
(c) No claim for indemnification arising out of a breach of a representation or warranty may be asserted after the expiration of such representation or warranty, as set forth in Section 9.2; provided that any such expiration of time shall not affect a claim for indemnification made prior to such expiration.
7.5 Right to Indemnification Not Affected by Knowledge. The right to indemnification based on a Party’s representations, warranties, covenants and obligations under this Agreement will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation by the other Party.
7.6 Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of: (i) fraud and equitable remedies (including injunctive relief), (ii) exercise of the Repurchase Right (defined below) or (iii) the satisfaction of La Jolla’s obligations pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement, the indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties with respect to any matters arising under or relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and no legal action sounding in contribution, breach of contract, damages, tort or strict liability may be maintained by any Party against the other Party with respect to any matter that is the subject of this Article VII.

VIII. COMPLETION OF PRE-CLINICAL STUDY.
8.1 Financing. Within one Business Day of Charles River providing La Jolla with written notice of its determination of whether there was a Successful Pre-Clinical Result, La Jolla shall provide written notice of the Charles River findings from the Pre-Clinical Study (the “Pre-Clinical Study Findings”) to GliaMed and to the holders of La Jolla’s Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “La Jolla Stockholders”). If Charles River determines that there was a Successful Pre-Clinical Result, then, by 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the third Trading Day following receipt of the Pre-Clinical Study Findings by the La Jolla Stockholders (the “Exercise Deadline”), the La Jolla Stockholders shall exercise the “Cash Warrants” (as defined in Prior Agreement, and as amended as of the Closing) for aggregate proceeds to La Jolla of at least $7,452,200. The exercise of the Cash Warrant raising aggregate proceeds of $7,452,200 shall be referred to herein as the “Initial Funding;” any additional amounts received by the Company upon exercise of the Cash Warrants shall constitute an Offering for purposes of this Agreement. The determination of Charles River regarding whether there was a Successful Pre-Clinical Result shall be final and binding on the Parties.
8.2 Repurchase Right. If the Initial Funding has not closed by the earliest of: (a) the Exercise Deadline, (b) 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the fifth Trading Day after the receipt by the La Jolla Stockholders of the Pre-Clinical Study Findings that do not show a Successful Pre-Clinical Result, or (c) 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on July 31, 2011, then GliaMed shall have the right for a period of 10 Business Days to elect to purchase from La Jolla all right, title and interest in and to the outstanding capital stock of Jewel (the “Repurchase Right”), upon paying to La Jolla: (i) the consideration then paid to GliaMed pursuant to Section 2.2(a), and (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Jewel and La Jolla between the Closing Date and the closing of the Repurchase Right in connection with the maintenance of the Purchased Assets, including, without limitation, patent filings and expenses incurred under the Assigned Agreements.
8.3 Maintenance of Purchased Assets. From the Closing Date through the earlier of the satisfaction of the financing condition set forth above in Section 8.1, or the exercise of the Repurchase Right: (i) all of the Purchased Assets shall be held by Jewel, which will be the sole record owner of the Purchased Assets and no agreements to transfer or assign, or rights, licenses or commitments with respect thereto, shall have been entered into, (ii) Jewel shall not, and La Jolla shall not permit Jewel to, issue any additional shares of capital stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable for Jewel capital stock, or enter into any commitments to do so, and (iii) Jewel shall not, and La Jolla shall not permit Jewel to, incur any indebtedness for borrowed money, whether or not secured, or grant any liens, security interests or other Encumbrances on the Purchased Assets, other than pursuant to the Stock Pledge Agreement. In the event that GliaMed exercises the Repurchase Right, GliaMed will thereupon acquire indirect ownership (i.e., through its ownership of Jewel) of all right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets, to the same extent that such title was conveyed by GliaMed to Jewel at the Closing, and the Purchased Assets shall be free of Encumbrances at the time of the completion of the transfer contemplated under the Repurchase Right. Following the exercise of the Repurchase Right, GliaMed shall indemnify La Jolla (and its directors, officers, Affiliates, members, managers, employees, agents, successors and assigns) for any Third Party claims arising out of the Assigned Agreements, other than claims related to the time when the Purchased Assets were held by Jewel and Jewel was owned by La Jolla.

 

28


 

8.4 Exclusive Remedy. GliaMed’s exercise of the Repurchase Right shall serve as its sole and exclusive remedy for the failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 2.2(a)(ii) and 8.1. Upon exercise of the Repurchase Right, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect, except for Articles VII and IX, which shall survive termination of this Agreement.
IX. MISCELLANEOUS.
9.1 Governing Law, Jurisdiction; Dispute Resolution.

Exhibit A
ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT
This ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March 29, 2011, by and between Jewel Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), and GliaMed, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given them in the Asset Purchase Agreement (as defined below).
WHEREAS, La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company, a Delaware corporation, Buyer and the Company are parties to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2011 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company is to sell to Buyer, and Buyer is to purchase from the Company, the Purchased Assets; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to assign to Buyer all right, title and interest in and to the Assigned Agreements, as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Assignment. The Company hereby transfers and assigns to Buyer all of the Company’s right, title and interest in, to and under, all of the Assigned Agreements, to have and hold the same unto Buyer and its successors and assigns from and after the date hereof subject to the covenants, conditions and provisions therein provided. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall not constitute an assignment of any Assigned Agreement if an attempted assignment thereof, without consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights of Buyer or the Company thereunder, and such assignment shall not occur until such time as such consent has been obtained, at which time it shall occur automatically under this Assignment and Assumption Agreement without further action by the Company or Buyer. Until such consent has been obtained, the Company and Buyer will use their reasonable best efforts (but without the requirement of any payment of money by the Company or Buyer) to obtain the consent of the other parties to any such Assigned Agreement for the assignment thereof to Buyer as Buyer may request. Unless and until such consent is obtained, or if an attempted assignment thereof would be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights of the Company thereunder so that Buyer would not in fact receive all rights under such Assigned Agreement, the Company and Buyer will cooperate in an arrangement under which Buyer would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations thereunder in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sub-licensing, or subleasing to Buyer, or under which the Company would enforce, at Buyer’s expense, for the benefit of Buyer, with Buyer assuming at Buyer’s expense the Company’s obligations in accordance with this Agreement, any and all rights of the Company against a third party thereto. The Company will promptly pay to Buyer when received all monies received by the Company under any Assigned Agreement.

 

35


 

2. Assumption. Buyer hereby accepts the transfer and assignment of the Assigned Agreements, and Buyer hereby agrees to pay, defend, discharge and perform all obligations and liabilities of the Company which accrue and are to be performed under any Assigned Agreement after the Closing Date, other than any such obligations or liabilities attributable to any failure by the Company to comply with the terms thereof.
3. Excluded Liabilities. Except as expressly provided herein and in the Asset Purchase Agreement, Buyer shall not assume or be bound by any obligations or liabilities of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company of any kind or nature, known, unknown, accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whatsoever.
4. Contest. The assignment and assumption of the Assigned Agreements hereunder shall not enlarge any rights of third parties and nothing herein or in any instrument of transfer shall prevent Buyer from contesting in good faith the claim of any third party with respect to any of the Assigned Agreements.
5. Guarantee by the Company. To the extent required in connection with the assignment of any of the Assigned Agreements to Buyer, the Company agrees to guarantee the obligations of Buyer under such Assigned Agreement to the counterparty thereto. The Company and Buyer agree that, as between such two parties, any such guarantee by the Company shall not relieve Buyer of its obligations under Section 2 of this Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The guarantee under this Section 5 shall expire upon (a) the Company’s exercise of its Repurchase Right, (b) the termination of the Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Asset Purchase Agreement or (c) mutual agreement of the Company and Buyer.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors, assigns, and legal representatives.
(b) This Assignment and Assumption Agreement may not be orally changed, modified or terminated, nor shall any oral waiver of any of its terms be effective. This Assignment and Assumption Agreement may be changed, modified or terminated only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and Buyer.
(c) This Assignment and Assumption Agreement may be executed by the Company and Buyer in separate and several counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

36


 

(d) This Assignment and Assumption Agreement is subject to and limited by the terms and provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement, and in the event of any conflict between this Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement, the terms, provisions and limitations of the Asset Purchase Agreement shall control.
(e) The interpretation and construction of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

III. RIGHTS, PREFERENCES AND PRIVILEGES
A. Dividend Provisions. Holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, and the Corporation shall pay, cumulative mandatory dividends at the rate per share of 5% of the Face Amount per annum, payable semi-annually on May 25 and November 25 beginning on the first such date after the applicable Original Issue Date, and pro rating for the partial six-month period from such applicable Original Issue Date for the first payment hereunder (each such date, a “Dividend Payment Date”) (if any Dividend Payment Date is not a Trading Day, the applicable payment shall be due on the next succeeding Trading Day). Such dividends shall be payable in such number of additional shares of Series E Preferred Stock, in each case determined by dividing the amount of the cumulative dividends by the Face Amount; provided, however, that if funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock, such dividends shall, effective on the close of business on a Dividend Payment Date with respect to an unpaid dividend, accrete to, and increase, the Face Amount of the Series E Preferred Stock. Dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, consisting of twelve 30-day periods, shall accrue daily commencing on the applicable Original Issue Date, and, subject to the preceding sentence, shall be deemed to accrue from such applicable Original Issue Date whether or not earned or declared and whether or not there are profits, surplus or other funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends. The record date for determining the holders of Series E Preferred Stock entitled to dividends pursuant to this paragraph shall be the fifth (5th) Trading Day before the Dividend Payment Date. If any such cumulative dividends would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Series E Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall issue a fractional share therefor, rounded to the nearest 1/1000th of a share. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) for purposes of any conversion or redemption of shares of Series E Preferred Stock, any amount accreted to the Face Amount of such shares pursuant to this paragraph as of such conversion or redemption shall not be deemed accrued but unpaid dividends and (ii) in the event of a conversion or redemption that occurs between Dividend Payment Dates, dividends shall be deemed to accrue through the date of such conversion or redemption, even if such accrual is less than a full semi-annual dividend period.

IV. CONVERSION
A. Conversion at the Option of the Holder. Subject to the limitations on conversions contained in Paragraph C of this Article IV, each holder of shares of Series E Preferred Stock may, at any time and from time to time, convert (an “Optional Conversion”) each of its shares of Series E Preferred Stock into a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock determined in accordance with the following formula:
Face Amount
Conversion Price
Following the effectiveness of any Optional Conversion, the shares of Series E Preferred Stock so converted shall also entitle the former holder of such shares to receive, on the Dividend Payment Date next following such conversion, a number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock equal to the unpaid dividends that accrued on the shares so converted through the date of such conversion, divided by the Face Amount.
B. Mechanics of Conversion. In order to effect an Optional Conversion, a holder shall deliver via electronic mail a copy of the fully executed Notice of Conversion (in the form attached hereto) to the Corporation (Attention: Secretary). Such notice shall be delivered to conversions@ljpc.com or such other address as the Corporation may, from time to time, provide to the holders upon delivery of a written notice. Upon receipt by the Corporation of a copy of a Notice of Conversion from a holder, the Corporation shall promptly send, via facsimile or electronic mail, a confirmation to such holder stating that the Notice of Conversion has been received, the date upon which the Corporation expects to deliver the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion and the name and telephone number of a contact person at the Corporation regarding the conversion.
(i) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. The Corporation (itself, or through its transfer agent) shall, no later than the second Trading Day following the Conversion Date (the "Delivery Period”), issue and deliver (i.e., deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier service postage prepaid) to the holder or its nominee a certificate representing that number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series E Preferred Stock being converted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Corporation’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program or any other program that provides for the electronic delivery of Common Stock, the Corporation shall cause its transfer agent, by the end of the Delivery Period, to electronically transmit the Common Stock (not in physical stock certificate form) issuable upon conversion to the holder by crediting the account of the holder or its nominee with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or with any such equivalent program.

 

5


 

(ii) Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all taxes that may be imposed upon it with respect to the issuance and delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock.
(iii) No Fractional Shares. If any conversion of Series E Preferred Stock would result in the issuance of a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be payable in cash based upon the Closing Sales Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be the next lower whole number of shares.
(iv) Conversion Disputes. In the case of any dispute with respect to a conversion, the Corporation shall promptly issue such number of shares of Common Stock as are not disputed in accordance with subparagraph (i) above. If such dispute involves the calculation of the Conversion Price, and such dispute is not promptly resolved by discussion between the relevant holder and the Corporation, the Corporation shall submit the disputed calculations to an independent outside accountant within three Trading Days of receipt of the Notice of Conversion. The accountant, at the Corporation’s sole expense, shall promptly audit the calculations and notify the Corporation and the holder of the results no later than three Trading Days from the date it receives the disputed calculations. The accountant’s calculation shall be deemed conclusive, absent manifest error. The Corporation shall then issue the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with subparagraph (i) above.
C. Limitations on Conversions. The conversion of shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall be subject to the following limitations (each of which limitations shall be applied independently):
(i) Timing and Volume Limitations. Each holder of Series E Preferred Stock shall be eligible for an Optional Conversion on any day of a Monday through Sunday calendar week (each a "Conversion Week”) to the extent that, together with all prior conversions of such holder’s Series E Preferred Stock, if any, the total shares of the Series E Preferred Stock that has been converted by such holder during such Conversion Week (rounded to the nearest 1/1,000th of a share) does not exceed the product of (x) the Face Amount of the Outstanding Series E Preferred Stock held by such holder immediately following the issuance of the Pre-Clinical Shares, multiplied by (y) the Conversion Cap for such calendar week. In determining the “Conversion Cap” for any Conversion Week, other than the Fixed Conversion Weeks, if the quotient of (A) the average of the Closing Sales Price (as adjusted to reflect any stock splits, stock dividends or similar recapitalizations occurring on or before the Conversion Date) for the Trading Days during the previous Monday through Sunday calendar week ending on the last Trading Day prior to the applicable Conversion Week, divided by (B) the applicable Conversion Price of the Series E Preferred Stock on the first Trading Day of such Conversion Week is: (1) less than one, then the Conversion Cap shall be 0%; (2) greater than or equal to one and less than two, then the Conversion Cap shall be 0.4%; (3) greater than or equal to two and less than three, then the Conversion Cap shall be 0.8%; (4) greater than or equal to three and less than four, then the Conversion Cap shall be 1.6%; (5) greater than or equal to four and less than five, then the Conversion Cap shall be 2.4%; (6) greater than or equal to five and less than six, then the Conversion Cap shall be 3.2%; (7) greater than or equal to six and less than

 

6


 

seven, then the Conversion Cap shall be 4.0%; (8) greater than or equal to seven and less than eight, then the Conversion Cap shall be 4.8%; (9) greater than or equal to eight and less than nine, then the Conversion Cap shall be 5.6%; (10) greater than or equal to nine and less than ten, then the Conversion Cap shall be 6.4%; or (11) greater than or equal to ten, then the Conversion Cap shall be 7.2%. The Conversion Cap for the Fixed Conversion Weeks shall be 0.8%. For purposes of this Article IV.C.(i): (I) “Outstanding Series E Preferred Stock” means all of the Company’s Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, issued and outstanding immediately following the issuance of the Pre-Clinical Shares (as such term is defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) and (II) “Fixed Conversion Weeks” mean the periods of time commencing on (i) the first calendar week beginning the Monday following the issuance of the Pre-Clinical Shares, or (ii) the week following the date of any Conversion Price adjustment. No Optional Conversion shall be allowed until the first Monday following the issuance of the Pre-Clinical Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IV.C.(i), any holder of Series E Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or any portion of its shares of Series E Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to a Change of Control. The foregoing conversion limits shall apply to the Series E Preferred Stock on an aggregate basis; to the extent that ownership of the Series E Preferred Stock is divided among multiple holders, the conversion limits shall be apportioned among the holders on a pro rata basis, based on their relative holdings of Series E Preferred Stock.
(ii) Additional Restrictions on Conversion or Transfer. Notwithstanding anything in this Certificate of Designations to the contrary, at no time may the Corporation issue or sell shares of Common Stock (including transfers by the Corporation of treasury stock) to a holder of Series E Preferred Stock, and in no event shall any holder of shares of Series E Preferred Stock have the right to convert shares of Series E Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, in each such case (x) to the extent that such issuance or sale or right to effect such conversion would result in the holder or any of its affiliates together beneficially owning more than 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock or (y) if such holder or any of its affiliates together beneficially own more than 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to such purported issuance, sale, transfer or conversion. For purposes of this subparagraph, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulation 13D-G thereunder. The restriction contained in this subparagraph may not be waived. Any purported issuance, sale, transfer or conversion effected in violation of this paragraph shall be null and void. Certificates representing shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall have imprinted, typed, stamped or otherwise affixed thereon a legend in substantially the following form:
THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER AND CONVERSION RESTRICTIONS AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED OR CONVERTED ONLY AS PERMITTED BY THE TERMS OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS SETTING FORTH THE RIGHTS, POWERS AND PREFERENCES OF SUCH PREFERRED STOCK, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION AND SHALL BE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE UPON A REQUEST THEREFOR SUBMITTED TO THE SECRETARY.

V. RESERVATION OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
A. If the authorized and unissued number of shares of Common Stock (the “Reserved Amount”) for any three consecutive Trading Days (the last of such three Trading Days being the “Authorization Trigger Date”) shall be less than a number sufficient to provide for the conversion in full, at the then current Conversion Price thereof, without taking into account the conversion limitations set forth in Article IV.C.(i) and without taking into account the conversion limitations set forth in Article IV.C.(ii), of all of the Series C-11 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C-21 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D-11 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D-21 Convertible Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock (i) then outstanding, (ii) then issuable, directly or indirectly, upon exercise or otherwise in respect of all outstanding or then issuable Warrants and (iii) then issuable as the payment of dividends on the Series C-11 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C-21 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D-11 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D-21 Convertible Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock described in clause (i) or (ii) for a period of four (4) years (the “Required Reserve Amount”), then the Corporation shall immediately notify the holders of Series E Preferred Stock of such occurrence and shall take immediate action (including, if necessary, seeking stockholder approval to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue) to increase the Reserved Amount to the Required Reserve Amount. Nothing contained in this Article V.A. shall limit any other rights or remedies of the holders of the Series C-11 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C-21 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D-11 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D-21 Convertible Preferred Stock or Series E Preferred Stock, hereunder or under applicable law.
VI. RANK
A. All shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall rank (i) senior to (a) the Corporation’s Common Stock; (b) the Common Stock Equivalents (other than Senior Securities) in existence as of the Closing Date; and (c) any Common Stock Equivalents (other than Senior Securities) and any Other Stock (other than Senior Securities) issued after the Closing Date specifically ranking, by their terms, junior to the Series E Preferred Stock (collectively with the Common Stock and the Common Stock Equivalents (other than Senior Securities) in existence as of the Closing Date, “Junior Securities”); (ii) pari passu with any Common Stock Equivalents (other than Senior Securities) and Other Stock (other than Senior Securities) issued after the Closing Date specifically ranking, by their terms, on parity with the Series E Preferred Stock (the “Pari Passu Securities”); and (iii) junior to the Corporation’s Series C-11 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series C-21 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D-11 Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D-21 Convertible Preferred Stock, as well as any Common Stock Equivalents or Other Stock created after the Closing Date specifically ranking, by their terms, senior to the Series E Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Senior Securities”), in each case as to dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall rank pari passu with each other share of Series E Preferred Stock as to dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.

VII. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE
A. If (i) the Corporation shall (1) commence a voluntary case under the U.S. Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, (2) consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any law or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any substantial part of its property, or (3) make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (ii) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Corporation shall be entered by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under the U.S. Federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law resulting in the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Corporation or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and any such decree or order shall be unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days, or (iii) the Corporation sells or transfers all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or in a series of related transactions and, on account of any such event as set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), the Corporation shall liquidate, dissolve or wind up, or if the Corporation shall otherwise liquidate, dissolve or wind up (a “Liquidation Event”), no distribution shall be made to the holders of any shares of capital stock of the Corporation (other than Senior Securities pursuant to the rights, preferences and privileges thereof) upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up unless prior thereto the holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall have received the Liquidation Preference with respect to each share then outstanding. If, upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the assets and funds legally available for distribution among the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock and holders of Pari Passu Securities, if any, shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the preferential amounts payable thereon, then the entire assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution to the Series E Preferred Stock and the Pari Passu Securities, if any, shall be distributed ratably among such shares in proportion to the ratio that the Liquidation Preference payable on each such share bears to the aggregate Liquidation Preference payable on all such shares.
B. The purchase or redemption by the Corporation of stock of any class, in any manner permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be regarded as a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other entity nor the sale or transfer by the Corporation of less than substantially all of its assets shall, for the purposes hereof, be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.
C. The “Liquidation Preference” with respect to a share of Series E Preferred Stock means an amount equal to the Face Amount thereof plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares). The Liquidation Preference with respect to any Pari Passu Securities, if any, shall be as set forth in the Certificate of Designations filed in respect thereof. As of the filing of this Certificate of Designations, there are no Pari Passu Securities.

VIII. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CONVERSION PRICE
The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
A. Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Etc. If, at any time on or after the Closing Date, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or other similar event (in each case, whether by merger or otherwise), then, after the date of record for such event, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced. If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a reverse stock split, combination or reclassification of shares, or other similar event (in each case, whether by merger or otherwise), then, after the date of record for such event, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased. In any such event described in this paragraph, the Corporation shall notify the Corporation’s transfer agent of such change on or before the effective date thereof.
B. Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. With respect to each share of Series E Preferred Stock, if, at any time after the Closing Date, there shall be (i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (but not of such share of Series E Preferred Stock), other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a transaction causing an adjustment pursuant to Article VIII.A., (ii) any Change of Control or any merger, conversion, consolidation or other business combination, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock (but not such share of Series E Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for capital stock or other securities of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation or any other person (or the right to receive any such stock or securities) or into any property (including, without limitation, cash and the right to receive cash or other property) or any combination of the foregoing, or (iii) any share exchange pursuant to which all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (but not such share of Series E Preferred Stock) are converted into or exchanged for capital stock or other securities of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation or any other person (or the right to receive any such securities) or into any property (including, without limitation, cash and the right to receive cash or other property) or into any combination of the foregoing (each of (i) — (iii) above being a "Corporate Change”), then the holder of such share of Series E Preferred Stock shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable, such shares of stock, securities and/or other property as would have been issued or payable in such Corporate Change if such share of Series E Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such Corporate Change without taking into account the limitations on conversion set forth in Article IV. The Corporation shall not effect any Corporate Change unless (i) each holder of Series E Preferred Stock has received written notice of such transaction at least 20 days prior thereto, but in no event later than 10 days prior to the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto, and (ii) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Corporation) assumes by written instrument (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Series E Requisite Holders) the obligations of this Certificate of Designations. The above provisions shall apply regardless of whether or not there would have been a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available for issuance upon conversion of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock outstanding as of the date of such transaction, and shall similarly apply to successive recapitalizations, changes, conversions, combinations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

C. Adjustment Due to Distribution. If, at any time after the Closing Date, the Corporation shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Stock (other than a dividend for which an adjustment is provided under Section A. or Section D. of this Article VIII.), by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any dividend or distribution to the Corporation’s stockholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled, upon any conversion of shares of Series E Preferred Stock after the date of record for determining stockholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to such Distribution. If the Distribution involves rights, warrants, or options and the right to exercise or convert such right, warrant or option would expire in accordance with its terms prior to the conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock, then the terms of such right, warrant or option shall provide that such exercise or convertibility right shall remain in effect until 10 days after the date the holder of Series E Preferred Stock receives such right, warrant or option pursuant to the conversion thereof.
D. Purchase Rights. If, at any time after the Closing Date, the Corporation issues any securities that are convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for or that impart a right to purchase securities other than Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (whether of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation) pro rata to the record holders of all or substantially all of the Common Stock (“Purchase Rights”), then the holders of Series E Preferred Stock will be entitled to acquire (at the same time the holders of Common Stock receive such Purchase Rights), upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock (without giving effect to the limitations contained in Article IV) 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 Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
E. One-Time Adjustment Following Reverse Stock Split. If, on the Conversion Price Adjustment Date (as defined below), the average of the Closing Sales Prices (as adjusted to reflect any stock splits, stock dividends or similar recapitalizations occurring on or before the Conversion Price Adjustment Date) for the five (5) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the last Trading Day prior to the Conversion Price Adjustment Date (the “Adjustment 5-Day Average Price”) is less than the product of the Conversion Price then in effect (as adjusted to reflect any stock splits, stock dividends or similar recapitalizations occurring on or before the Conversion Price Adjustment Date) multiplied by 10, then, effective as of the Conversion Price Adjustment Date, the Conversion Price shall be reduced to a price equal to ten percent (10%) of the Adjustment 5-Day Average Price. The “Conversion Price Adjustment Date” shall mean the Saturday that is three (3) calendar weeks following the Saturday of the week when the Reverse Split is effected. The Company hereby agrees that it will not issue any press releases or file any periodic reports on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act, except where required by law, during the period of time in which the Adjustment 5-Day Average Price is being calculated. The “Reverse Split” means a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock at an exchange ratio of 1-for-100 within two weeks of the Closing Date.

 

11


 

F. Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Article VIII amounting to a more than 5% change in such Conversion Price, the Corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to each holder of Series E Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Series E Preferred Stock, furnish to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of a share of Series E Preferred Stock.
IX. VOTING RIGHTS
The holders of the Series E Preferred Stock have no voting power whatsoever, except as otherwise required by the DGCL in this Article IX.
Notwithstanding the above, the Corporation shall provide each holder of Series E Preferred Stock with prior notification of any meeting or solicitation of written consent of the stockholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to stockholders). If the Corporation takes a record of its stockholders for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to (a) receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire (including by way of merger, consolidation or recapitalization) any share of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or (b) to vote in connection with any proposed Change of Control, sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any proposed merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation shall mail a notice to each holder, at least 10 days prior to the record date specified therein (or 20 days prior to the consummation of the transaction or event, whichever is earlier, but in no event earlier than public announcement of such proposed transaction), of the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such vote, dividend, distribution, right or other event, and a brief statement regarding the amount and character of such vote, dividend, distribution, right or other event to the extent known at such time.
To the extent that under the DGCL the vote of the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, is required to authorize a given action of the Corporation, the affirmative vote of the Series E Requisite Holders (except as otherwise may be required under the DGCL) shall constitute the approval of such action by such class; provided, however, that if the DGCL requires only the separate vote of any one or more, but not all, of the series of Preferred Stock, the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of such one or more series, voting together as a single class, shall constitute the approval of such action by the Series E Preferred Stock in lieu of the approval of the Series E Requisite Holders. To the extent that under the DGCL holders of the Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on a matter with holders of Common Stock, voting together as one class, each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which it is then convertible (subject to the limitations contained in Article IV.C.(ii)) using the record date for the taking of such vote of stockholders as the date as of which the Conversion Price is calculated. The Corporation shall not (i) combine the outstanding shares of any series of Series E Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares of such series (whether by reclassification, merger, stock split or otherwise) or (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of any series of Series E Preferred Stock into a greater number of shares of such series (whether by reclassification, merger, stock split, stock dividend or otherwise) without the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by the DGCL) of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of such series of Series E Preferred Stock to be combined or subdivided, voting as a separate class.

X. MISCELLANEOUS
A. Cancellation of Series E Preferred Stock. If any shares of Series E Preferred Stock are converted pursuant to Article IV or repurchased by the Corporation, the Corporation shall take all actions necessary to cause the shares so converted or repurchased to be canceled and return to the status of authorized, but unissued preferred stock of no designated series, and such shares shall not be issuable by the Corporation as Series E Preferred Stock.
B. Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Corporation of (i) evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any stock certificate(s) representing shares of Series E Preferred Stock (each a “Preferred Stock Certificate”) and (ii) (y) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity (without any bond or other security) reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or (z) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s), the Corporation shall execute and deliver Series E Preferred Stock Certificate(s) of like tenor and date. However, the Corporation shall not be obligated to reissue such lost or stolen Preferred Stock Certificate(s) if the holder contemporaneously requests the Corporation to convert in full all shares of Series E Preferred Stock represented by such Preferred Stock Certificate(s).
C. Allocation of Reserved Amount. The Reserved Amount shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of Series E Preferred Stock based on the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock issued to each holder. Each increase to the Reserved Amount shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of Series E Preferred Stock based on the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock held by each holder at the time of the increase Reserved Amount. Any portion of the Reserved Amount that remains allocated to any person or entity which does not hold any Series E Preferred Stock shall be allocated to the remaining holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock then held of record by such holders.
D. Status as Stockholder. Upon submission of a Notice of Conversion by a holder of Series E Preferred Stock, (i) the shares covered thereby shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the holder’s rights as a holder of such converted shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a holder has not received all shares of Common Stock prior to the last Trading Day of the Delivery Period with respect to a conversion of Series E Preferred Stock for any reason, then (unless the holder otherwise elects to retain its status as a holder of Common Stock by so notifying the Corporation within five Trading Days after the expiration of such Delivery Period) the holder shall regain the rights of a holder of Series E Preferred Stock with respect to such unconverted shares of Series E Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable, return any certificate representing such unconverted shares to the holder. In all cases, the holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies for the Corporation’s failure to convert Series E Preferred Stock.

 

13


 

E. Waiver. Notwithstanding any provision in this Certificate of Designations to the contrary, anyright or preference of the holders of Series E Preferred Stock granted hereunder may be waived as to all shares of Series E Preferred Stock (and the holders thereof) upon the written consent of the Series E Requisite Holders, unless a higher percentage is required by applicable law, in which case the written consent of the holders of not less than such higher percentage shall be required; provided, however, that if a waiver would affect adversely the rights, powers, preferences or privileges of only a portion of the Series E Preferred Stock but shall not so affect the rights, powers, preferences or privileges of all shares of Series E Preferred Stock, this paragraph shall require the written consent of the holders of all shares so affected.
F. Reference to Other Agreements and Documents. When the terms of this Certificate of Designations refers to a specific agreement or other document to determine the meaning or operation of a provision hereof, the secretary of the Corporation shall maintain a copy of such agreement or document at the principal executive offices of the Corporation and a copy thereof shall be provided free of charge to any stockholder who makes a request therefor. Unless otherwise provided in this Certificate of Designations, a reference to any specific agreement or other document shall be deemed a reference to such agreement or document as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms of such agreement or document.
G. Severability. If any term of any series of Series E Preferred Stock is invalid, unlawful, or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, all other terms of such series of Series E Preferred Stock as set forth herein which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable term will, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect, and no term of any series of Series E Preferred Stock will be deemed dependent upon any other such term unless so expressed in this Certificate of Designations.
H. Force Majeure. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the failure of any party to timely satisfy obligations hereunder shall be excused to the extent that (i) such failure follows the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event (defined below), and (ii) such Force Majeure Event has materially adversely affected the ability of such party (or its agents, including banks, transfer agents, and clearinghouses) to perform hereunder. A failure to perform shall be excused only for so long as the Force Majeure Event continues to materially adversely affect such person’s ability to perform. For purposes of this Section, “Force Majeure Event” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) trading in securities generally on either the Nasdaq Stock Market or the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such stock exchanges by the SEC or FINRA; (b) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any of federal, New York or California authorities; (c) an act of war, terrorism or hostility shall have occurred, or (d) a strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident or other calamity or Act of God shall have occurred.

JEWEL MERGER SUB, INC.
STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT
This Stock Pledge Agreement (this “Agreement”) made and entered into as of March 29, 2011, by and between La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company, a Delaware corporation (“Pledgor”) and GliaMed, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
RECITALS
A. In connection with the purchase this day by Pledgor of certain assets of the Company, as described in that certain Asset Purchase Agreement among the Company, Pledgor and Jewel Merger Sub, Inc. (“Jewel”) dated of even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”), Pledgor agreed that all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Jewel (the “Shares”) will be subject to a contingent Repurchase Right, as defined in Section 8.2 of the Purchase Agreement.
B. Such Repurchase Right is secured by the Shares upon the terms set forth in this Agreement.
Now, therefore, it is hereby agreed as follows:
1. Grant of Security Interest.
(a) Pledgor hereby grants the Company a security interest in, and assigns, transfers to and pledges with the Company, the following securities and other property (collectively, the "Collateral”):
(i) the Shares;
(ii) any and all new, additional or different securities or other property subsequently distributed with respect to the Shares which are to be delivered to and deposited with the Company pursuant to the requirements of Paragraph 2 of this Agreement;
(iii) any and all other property and money which is distributed by Jewel to Pledgor after the date hereof; and
(iv) the proceeds of any sale, exchange or disposition of the property and securities described in subparagraphs (i), (ii) or (iii) above.
(b) To perfect the Company’s security interest in and lien on the Collateral, Pledgor shall, upon the execution of this Agreement, immediately deliver to the Company, together with properly endorsed stock power assignments executed in blank, all certificates representing the Shares to be held by the Company in pledge pursuant to this Agreement.

 

 


 

2. Duty to Deliver. Any new, additional or different securities or other property (including any cash dividends) which may now or hereafter become distributable with respect to the Collateral by reason of (a) any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the Shares without the Company’s receipt of consideration or (b) any merger, consolidation or other reorganization affecting the capital structure of Jewel shall, upon receipt by Pledgor, be promptly delivered to and deposited with the Company as part of the Collateral hereunder. Any securities shall be accompanied by one or more properly endorsed stock power assignments.
3. Representations and Warranties. Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that:
(a) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Pledgor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Pledgor, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(b) No consent, approval, authorization or other order of any person is required for (i) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Pledgor or the delivery by Pledgor of the Collateral to the Company as provided herein or (ii) the exercise by the Company of the rights provided for in this Agreement or the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Pledgor is the owner of the Collateral and has the full right and power to transfer the Collateral to the Company free and clear of any security interest, lien, restriction or encumbrance other than encumbrances created pursuant to this Agreement.
4. Covenants.
(a) Pledgor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, sell, assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber any of the Company’s rights in or to the Collateral or any dividends or other distributions or payments with respect thereto or grant a lien on any thereof.
(b) Pledgor shall, at his own expense, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments and take all such action as the Company from time to time may reasonably request in order to ensure to the Company the benefits of the first priority lien on and to the Collateral intended to be created by this Agreement.
(c) Pledgor shall defend the title to the Collateral and the lien of the Company thereon against the claim of any person or entity claiming against or through Pledgor and will maintain and preserve such lien so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect.
(d) Pledgor shall not at any time plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of the whole or any part of the Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale hereunder, and Pledgor waives the benefit of all such laws to the extent Pledgor lawfully may do so. Pledgor shall not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Company provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise by the Company of any one or more such rights, powers or remedies.

 

2


 

(e) Pledgor shall pay, prior to the delinquency date, all taxes, liens, assessments and other charges against the Collateral, and in the event of Pledgor’s failure to do so, the Company may at its election pay any or all of such taxes and other charges without contesting the validity or legality thereof.
5. Shareholder Rights. So long as there exists no event of default under Paragraph 10 of this Agreement, Pledgor may exercise all shareholder voting rights and be entitled to receive any and all proxy statements and other shareholder materials pertaining to the Collateral.
6. Rights and Powers of Company. The Company may, without obligation to do so, exercise at any time and from time to time one or more of the following rights and powers with respect to any or all of the Collateral:
(a) subject to the applicable limitations of Paragraph 9, accept in its discretion other property of Pledgor in exchange for all or part of the Collateral and release Collateral to Pledgor to the extent necessary to effect such exchange, and in such event the other property received in the exchange shall become part of the Collateral hereunder;
(b) perform such acts as are necessary to preserve and protect the Collateral and the rights, powers and remedies granted with respect to such Collateral by this Agreement; and
(c) transfer record ownership of the Collateral to the Company or its nominee and receive, endorse and give receipt for, or collect by legal proceedings or otherwise, dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to the Collateral, provided and only if there exists at the time an outstanding event of default under Paragraph 10 of this Agreement.
Any action by the Company pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 6 may be taken without notice to Pledgor.
7. Care of Collateral. The Company shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral and shall take no action with respect to a transfer of the Shares prior to an event of default. However, the Company shall have no obligation to (a) initiate any action with respect to, or otherwise inform Pledgor of, any conversion, call, exchange right, preemptive right, subscription right, purchase offer or other right or privilege relating to or affecting the Collateral, (b) preserve the rights of Pledgor against adverse claims or protect the Collateral against the possibility of a decline in market value or (c) take any action with respect to the Collateral requested by Pledgor unless the request is made in writing and the Company determines that the requested action will not unreasonably jeopardize the value of the Collateral as security for the Note and other indebtedness secured hereunder. Subject to the limitations of Paragraph 9, the Company may at any time release and deliver all or part of the Collateral to Pledgor, and the receipt thereof by Pledgor shall constitute a complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so released and delivered. The Company shall accordingly be discharged from any further liability or responsibility for the Collateral, and the released Collateral shall no longer be subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

3


 

8. Transfer of Collateral. The Company may not transfer the Collateral unless there has been an event of default.
9. Release of Collateral. Provided there does not otherwise exist any event of default under Paragraph 10, the Shares, together with any additional Collateral which may hereafter be pledged and deposited hereunder, shall be released from pledge and returned to Pledgor in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Upon cancellation of the Repurchase Rights pursuant to Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement, the Shares held as Collateral hereunder shall (subject to the applicable limitations of Paragraph 9(c) below) be released within three days following such cancellation; provided that the Company agrees that the Pledgor shall have the authority to cancel the certificates representing the Shares if the Company does not timely satisfy its obligations under this Section 9(a) and may reissue the Shares in the name of the Pledgor.
(b) Any additional Collateral which may hereafter be pledged and deposited with the Company pursuant to the requirements of Paragraph 2 shall be released at the same time Shares to which the additional Collateral relates are to be released in accordance with the applicable provisions of Paragraph 9(a).
(c) Under no circumstances, however, shall any Shares or any other Collateral be released if the Repurchase Right is exercised in accordance with Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement.
10. Default.
(a) The exercise by the Company of its Repurchase Right in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2 of the Purchase Agreement shall constitute the sole circumstances giving rise to an event of default under this Agreement.
(b) Upon the occurrence of such event of default, the Company may, at its election, exercise any or all of the rights and remedies granted to a secured party under the provisions of the California Uniform Commercial Code (as now or hereafter in effect), including (without limitation): (i) the power to dispose of the Collateral by public or private sale; or (ii) the right to accept, upon prior written notice to Pledgor, the Collateral in full satisfaction of the Repurchase Right secured hereunder.
11. Other Remedies and Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies granted to the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies granted to the Company under any statute or rule of law and shall be deemed cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently at the Company’s option. Any forbearance, failure or delay by the Company in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such right, power or remedy and shall not prejudice its rights as against Pledgor in any respect. Every right, power and remedy of the Company under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect unless such right, power or remedy is specifically waived by an instrument executed by a duly-authorized officer of the Company. Any such waiver shall be limited to its express terms.

 

4


 

12. Costs and Expenses. All costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by the either party in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any right, power or remedy granted under this Agreement shall be the sole obligation of such party.
13. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules.
14. Assignment. Neither party may assign or transfer his obligations or rights under this Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and upon Pledgor and its successors and assigns.
15. Amendment. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except in writing duly signed by a duly-authorized officer of Pledgor and a duly-authorized officer of the Company.
16. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid under applicable law, then such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, and neither the remainder of neither such provision nor any other provisions of this Agreement shall be affected thereby.
