The Company will indemnify and hold each Investor and its directors, managers, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (each, an “Investor Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against an Investor, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any shareholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Investor, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Investor’s representation, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Investor may have with any such shareholder or any violations by such Investor of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Investor which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Investor Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Investor Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. Any Investor Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Investor Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time following such Investor Party’s written request that it do so, to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between

24

the position of the Company and the position of such Investor Party. The Company will not be liable to any Investor Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by an Investor Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to such Investor Party’s wrongful actions or omissions, or gross negligence or to such Investor Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Investor in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

4.11Limitation on Debt and Liens. During the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the Termination Date, the Company shall refrain, and shall ensure that each Subsidiary of the Company refrains, from (A) incurring any Debt other than Permitted Debt, and (B) granting, establishing or maintaining any Lien on any of its Property other than Permitted Liens.

4.12Restricted Payments. During the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the Termination Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, make any Restricted Payments other than Restricted Payments made by such Subsidiaries to the Company.

4.13Disposition of Property. During the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the Termination Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, dispose, in a single transaction, or in a series of transactions all or any part of its Property unless (x) such disposition is (i) in the ordinary course of business, (ii) for fair market value, and (iii) for cash, and (y) such Property is not material to the Company’s or any of its Subsidiary’s business, operations or financial condition or performance.

4.14Modification of Organizational Documents. Except as described on Schedule 4.14, during the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the Termination Date, the Company will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, consent to or implement any termination, amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of the certificate or articles of incorporation, articles of organization, bylaws, regulations or other constituent documents of the Company or any such Subsidiary.

4.15Mergers and Consolidations. Except as described on Schedule 4.15, during the period beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the Termination Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to, without the prior written consent of Investors holding at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), merge with or consolidate into, any Person, except that (i) any of the Company’s wholly owned Subsidiaries may merge with, consolidate into the Company or another of the Company’s wholly owned Subsidiaries and (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company may effect a merger solely for the purpose of changing its jurisdiction of incorporation.

25

4.16Exchange Right. If the Company intends to effect a Subsequent Placement at any time prior to the 30^th day following the Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Investor a written notice (an “Exchange Notice”) no later than two (2) Business Days (the “Exchange Notice Date”) prior to the closing date of such Subsequent Placement along with the proposed definitive investment documents for such Subsequent Placement (the “Exchange Documents”). Each Investor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exchange all (but not less than all) of such Investor’s Note and Warrant (an “Exchange”) for the securities being offered in such Subsequent Placement (the “Exchange Securities”). If an Investor wishes to participate in an Exchange, such Investor shall deliver written notice thereof (an “Exchange Election Notice”) to the Company within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by such Investor of the Exchange Notice for such Exchange. If an Investor has timely delivered an Exchange Election Notice, the applicable Exchange shall be consummated on (i) the date that is the later of (x) the date on which the applicable Subsequent Placement is consummated in accordance with its terms and (y) the date that is one Business Day after the date on which such Exchange Election Notice was timely delivered by such Investor or (ii) such other date that is mutually agreed to in writing or by email by the Company and such Investor (such date, the “Exchange Closing Date”). Each Exchange shall be effected on a dollar-for-dollar basis so that each dollar of principal (and interest accrued through and including the applicable Exchange Closing Date) shall be deemed payment for the Exchange Securities which shall have the same terms and conditions, mutatis mutandis, granted to other Persons purchasing the Exchange Securities (whether as purchasers in such Subsequent Placement or through an Exchange pursuant to this Section 4.16). The Company and each Investor that elects to exercise its Exchange right hereunder shall on the applicable Exchange Closing Date execute, and deliver to the other party, the Exchange Documents to which it is a party, and the Company shall deliver the original certificates or other instruments evidencing the Exchange Securities to be issued to such Investor within two Business Days of such Exchange Closing Date. Upon the execution of the Exchange Documents by the Company and an Investor, the obligations of the Company under the Investor’s original Note and Warrant shall be extinguished. Each Investor that participates in an Exchange shall return its original Note and Warrant to the Company for cancellation no later than two Business Days after the receipt of the certificates evidencing its Exchange Securities; provided, that the Investor’s original Note and Warrant shall be deemed cancelled even should Investor fail to return the same to the Company for cancellation. Notwithstanding the delivery by an Investor of an Exchange Election Notice to the Company, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way the right of such Investor to effectuate a conversion or exercise of such Investor’s Note or Warrant at any time prior to the applicable Exchange Closing Date, in which case, such Investor’s Exchange Election Notice shall be deemed to have been revoked and the Company’s obligation to effect such Exchange with such Investor shall be deemed to have been terminated.

6.MISCELLANEOUS.

6.1Survival; Severability. The representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by the parties herein and in the other Transaction Documents shall survive the Closing notwithstanding any due diligence investigation made by or on behalf of the party seeking to rely thereon. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that in such case the parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace such provision with a new provision which is not illegal, unenforceable or void, as long as such new provision does not materially change the economic benefits of this Agreement to the parties.

6.2Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. An Investor may assign its rights and obligations hereunder in connection with any private sale or transfer of the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, as long as, as a condition precedent to such transfer, the transferee executes an acknowledgment agreeing to be bound by the applicable provisions of this Agreement, in which case the term “Investor” shall be deemed to refer to such transferee as though such transferee were an original signatory hereto. The Company may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

6.3No Reliance. Each party acknowledges that (i) it has such knowledge in business and financial matters as to be fully capable of evaluating this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (ii) it is not relying on any advice or representation of any other party in connection with entering into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or such transactions (other than the representations made in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents), (iii) it has not received from any other party any assurance or guarantee as to the merits (whether legal, regulatory, tax, financial or otherwise) of entering into this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and (iv) it has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax,

29

business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent that it has deemed necessary, and has entered into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents based on its own independent judgment and, if applicable, on the advice of such advisors, and not on any view (whether written or oral) expressed by any other party.

6.4 Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of the other Investors hereunder, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor hereunder. The Company acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or a “group” as described in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Investor has been represented by its own separate counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation rights arising out of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, individually, and shall not be required to join any other Investor as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

6.5Injunctive Relief. The Company acknowledges and agrees that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to each Investor and that the remedy or remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of any such breach, in addition to all other available remedies, such Investor shall be entitled to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate and specific performance of such obligations without the necessity of showing economic loss or the posting of any bond.

6.6Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within the State of California. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City and County of San Diego for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or any other Transaction Document or in connection herewith or therewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.

(b) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY

30

HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.6(b).

6.7Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile transmission.

6.8Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

6.9Notices. Any notice, demand or request required or permitted to be given by the Company or the Investor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered (i) when delivered personally or by verifiable facsimile transmission, unless such delivery is made on a day that is not a Business Day, in which case such delivery will be deemed to be made on the next succeeding Business Day, (ii) on the next Business Day after timely delivery to an overnight courier and (iii) on the Business Day actually received if deposited in the U.S. mail (certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid), addressed as follows:
