Navidea Shares

On the date of the consummation of the Transaction (such date, the “Closing Date”), Navidea will issue to Goldberg 23.5million shares of Navidea common stock (the “Shares”), 18.5 million currently, and 5 million on January 2^nd, 2019. The Shares will be issued under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933.

Share Escrow

A total of 10 million Shares will be deposited into an escrow account (the “Escrow Shares”) 5 million immediately and 5 million on January 2, 2019. The Escrow Shares will be released from the escrow account after the earlier of (such earlier time, the “Release Date”) (i) final resolution of any currently pending claims related to the Debt (as defined below) in which none of the Debt is required to be paid to any party other than Goldberg, or (ii) 18 months. On the Release Date, all of the then-remaining Escrow Shares will be released to Goldberg if not then subject to any claim by Navidea as outlined herein. If Navidea is ordered, by a final, non-appealable judgement, to pay any portion of the Debt (as defined below) to any party other than Goldberg, Navidea may pursue a claim against Goldberg for such amount and clawback a portion of the Escrow Shares from the escrow account having the equivalent value (at that future time) of the portion of the Debt actually paid by Navidea to the extent Navidea proves that Goldberg was not entitled to that portion of the Debt. The terms of the escrow account will provide that none of the Escrow Shares may be transferred to Navidea without a joint written direction executed by Navidea and Goldberg, or final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Lock-Up

After the award and the placement of the Shares with members of Goldberg’s family, neither Goldberg nor such family members will transfer any of the Shares for six months after the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Navidea.

MT Super Voting Shares

MT will issue to Goldberg shares of MT Super Voting Common Stock in a number equal to 5.0% of the outstanding shares of MT. Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of MT Super Voting Common Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting and to vote as a single class with holders of the Common Stock upon any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote. In that regard, each holder of MT Super Voting Common Stock shall have 20 votes for each full share of MT Common Stock into which the shares of MT Super Voting Common Stock would be convertible on the record date for the matter to be voted on. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until such time as MT shall have obtained aggregate gross proceeds of $10 million in one or more financings after the Closing Date, the vote or written consent of Navidea shall be required to issue to Goldberg or any of his affiliates any equity or rights to purchase equity, which vote or consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Navidea will be entitled to appoint one observer to MT’s Board of Directors, who will receive all notices of board meetings, written consents and board materials in advance of such meetings. 

Severance

Navidea will pay to Goldberg an aggregate of $978,000, which amount includes all unpaid vacation days, as severance after the Closing Date (the “Severance”), payable in equal installments over the next 24-months on Navidea’s regular pay dates (less any legally required withholding). Navidea will pay the costs to continue Goldberg’s existing health coverage for a period of 16 months after the Closing Date, by paying the amounts required under COBRA to maintain such coverage.

Credit Line

For six months after the Closing Date, Navidea will provide a line of credit to MT for the salary and benefits of Joel Kaufman (starting November 1), the expense of Nai Fang Wang, the expense of Jeffrey Arnold and MedChem (shared 50% to be re-evaluated after the first two months), the remaining payment due and owing to the Salzman Group, the payment to Smart Assays, and other working capital items not to exceed $750,000 in the aggregate. 

MT Preferred Stock

MT will redeem all shares of Goldberg’s MT Preferred Stock and any warrants or other equity rights held by Goldberg in MT for no additional consideration other than Goldberg’s rights in the Transaction.

Termination of Debt

Goldberg waives all rights to collect any debt (including, without limitation interest) owed by Navidea to Goldberg. 

Waiver of Goldberg Rights

The release excludes any claims for breaches of the Transaction Documents by Navidea and MT.

Goldberg hereby resigns as an officer and director of Navidea and any other subsidiary of Navidea other than MT on the date of execution of this Agreement. Navidea will make its final salary payment August 15^th, 2018 and begin severance payments on August 30^th, 2018.
