WHEREAS, Armistice is the holder of certain warrants to purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Company Common Stock”), of the Company (“Warrant Shares”) all of which warrants are as set forth on Schedule A (each, a “Warrant” and, collectively, the “Warrants”);

WHEREAS, the Company intends to into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) on substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the non-binding proposal with Insud Pharma, S.L. (“Parent”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, it is anticipated that, among other things, the Company will merge (the “Merger”) with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), with the Company surviving the Merger and continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and that, by virtue of the Merger, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall be cancelled and shall be converted automatically into the right to receive an amount per share in cash to be set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “Common Stock Consideration”); and

WHEREAS, the Company desires that Armistice agrees, and Armistice is willing to agree, to the termination and cancellation of the Warrants in exchange for the right to receive the Cash Payment (as defined below).

NOW, THEREFORE, Armistice and the Company, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

1.

In exchange for the termination and cancellation of the Warrants, Armistice will receive cash in the aggregate amount of $10,200,000.00 with respect to all of the Warrants (the “Cash Payment”); provided that such termination and cancellation shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger and shall occur immediately following the Merger. Armistice shall promptly deliver the original Warrants to the Company for cancellation following notice of the closing date of the Merger accompanied by a completed and executed IRS Form W-8 in the form of Annex B hereto and the Company or Parent shall promptly deliver the aggregate Cash Payment in one tranche to Armistice per their delivery instructions as soon as is reasonably practicable following receipt thereof, but in no event later than three (3) business days after the later of such receipt or the Closing Date (the “Payoff Deadline”). For avoidance of doubt, if the Cash Payment is not delivered to Armistice by the Payoff Deadline, this Cash-Out Acknowledgment and Cancellation shall be null and void and of no effect and each Warrant shall remain outstanding in accordance with its terms notwithstanding such tender for cancellation.


2.

Pursuant to this Cash-Out Acknowledgment and Cancellation, no later than the Payoff Deadline, the Company shall deliver the Cash Payment to Armistice via wire transfer of immediately available, same day funds to Armistice pursuant to written instructions provided to the Company.

3.

Armistice hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Cash Payment specified herein represents full and final satisfaction of all obligations to Armistice in respect of each Warrant set forth on Schedule A.  Following Armistice’s receipt of the Cash Payment, each Warrant shall be null and void and of no further force and effect and Armistice will be entitled to no further rights with respect to any Warrants.  If the Merger is not consummated, this Cash-Out Acknowledgment and Cancellation shall be null and void and of no effect and each Warrant shall remain outstanding in accordance with its terms.

4.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that Armistice does not receive the Cash Payment by the Payoff Deadline, the Company knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally confesses judgment in favor of Armistice against the Company in any proceeding or action to recover the Cash Payment brought by Armistice in any court with jurisdiction over this Agreement.  In so doing, the Company expressly (i) waives issuance and service of process, (ii) agrees that it its failure to satisfy its indebtedness to Armistice by the Payoff Deadline constitutes a breach of this Cash-Out Acknowledgment and Cancellation, and (iii) agrees not to contest the entry of a judgement in any such proceeding or action brought by Armistice for (a) the Cash Payment, (b) interest accruing at the highest rate allowable under the law from the date immediately following the Payoff Deadline through the date on which the Company fully satisfies such judgment, and (iii) Armistice’s attorney fees and costs incurred in connection with any action or proceeding to enforce this Cash-Out Acknowledgment and Cancellation.
