Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 27, 2017, Aviragen Therapeutics, Inc. (“Aviragen” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, Agora Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and Vaxart, Inc., a privately-held clinical-stage Delaware corporation focused on developing oral recombinant vaccines from its proprietary delivery platform (“Vaxart”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Vaxart, with Vaxart becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the surviving corporation of the merger (the “Merger”). The Merger is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), (a) each outstanding share of capital stock of Vaxart (other than any shares held as treasury stock, that will be cancelled), will be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Company Common Stock”) equal to the exchange ratio described below and (b) each outstanding Vaxart stock option, whether vested or unvested, that has not previously been exercised prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by the Company.

Under the exchange ratio formula in the Merger Agreement, as of immediately after the Merger and assuming no adjustments for cash balances as provided for in the Merger Agreement, the former Vaxart securityholders are expected to own approximately 60% of the aggregate number of shares of the Company Common Stock issued and outstanding following the consummation of the Merger (the “Post-Closing Shares”), and the stockholders of the Company as of immediately prior to the Merger are expected to own approximately 40% of the aggregate number of Post-Closing Shares. This exchange ratio will be fixed prior to closing to reflect the Company’s and Vaxart’s capitalization as of immediately prior to such time.

Immediately following the Merger, the name of the Company will be changed from “Aviragen Therapeutics, Inc.” to “Vaxart, Inc.” At the Effective Time, the Merger Agreement contemplates that the Board of Directors of the Company will consist of seven members, four of whom will be directors designated by Vaxart and three of whom will be independent directors designated by the Company. The executive officers of the Company immediately after the Effective Time will be designated by Vaxart with Vaxart’s Chief Executive Officer, Wouter Latour, M.D., being the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company and Vaxart, including covenants relating to obtaining the requisite approvals of the stockholders of the Company and Vaxart, indemnification of directors and officers, and the Company’s and Vaxart’s conduct of their respective businesses between the date of signing the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger. Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other things, approval by the stockholders of the Company and Vaxart. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and Vaxart, and further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, the Company may be required to pay Vaxart a termination fee of $1.95 million.

The Merger Agreement contemplates that the Company will also seek approval from its stockholders to effect a reverse stock split intended to increase its trading price above the minimum requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market.  Subject to stockholder approval, the Company expects to implement the reverse stock split at a ratio to be mutually agreed to by the Company and Vaxart within the range of 10 and 20 currently outstanding shares for 1 share.

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, (i) the officers and directors of the Company have each entered into a support agreement with the Company and Vaxart (the “Aviragen Support Agreements”), and (ii) certain officers, directors and stockholders of Vaxart have entered into a support agreement with Vaxart and the Company (the “Vaxart Support Agreements,” together with the Aviragen Support Agreements, the “Support Agreements”). The Support Agreements place certain restrictions on the transfer of the shares of the Company and Vaxart held by the respective signatories thereto and include covenants as to the voting of such shares in favor of approving the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and against any actions that could adversely affect the consummation of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement, form of Aviragen Support Agreement and form of Vaxart Support Agreement have each been included as an exhibit to this Current Report to provide the Company’s stockholders with information regarding their terms. The assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules delivered by the parties in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties contained in these agreements were made as of a specified date; may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to such agreements; and may be subject to contractual standards of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to the Company’s stockholders. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in these agreements should not be relied on by any persons as characterizations of the actual state of facts and circumstances of the Company or any other parties thereto at the time they were made. The information in these agreements should be considered in conjunction with the entirety of the factual disclosure about the Company in the Company’s public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. Information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of these agreements, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures. These agreements should not be read alone, but should instead be read in conjunction with each other and other information regarding the Company.

The preceding summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, the form of Vaxart Support Agreement and, the form of Aviragen Support Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3, respectively, and which are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On October 27, 2017, the Board of Directors of Aviragen adopted a change in the Company’s operations, due to the Merger Agreement with Vaxart, whereby Aviragen will reduce its workforce by six to a total of 10 full-time employees, who will remain on board to complete the BTA074 Phase 2 clinical trial and assist with the transition of duties to the Vaxart management team. As a result, the Company anticipates incurring approximately $0.9 million to $1.7 million in total costs associated with these terminations, comprised mostly of one-time termination benefits. The Company expects to incur these costs during the next two quarters through March 31, 2018, of which $0.6 million to $0.7 million are expected to be future cash expenditures.

Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.

The completion of the Merger will constitute a change in control of the Company. The Merger is described in Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01.

(a)     the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read identically to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such certificate of incorporation;

(b)     the certificate of incorporation of Parent shall be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such certificate of incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time, Parent shall file one or more amendments to its Certificate of Incorporation to (i) change the name of Parent to “Vaxart, Inc.” (the “Corporate Name Change”) and (ii) effect the Reverse Split (but only to the extent that the Required Parent Stockholder Reverse Split Vote has been obtained).

(c)     the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be identical to the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such bylaws;

(d)     the directors and officers of Parent, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Parent, shall be as set forth in Section 5.14; and

(e)     the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, shall be the directors and officers of Parent as set forth in Section 5.14, after giving effect to the provisions of Section 5.14, or such other persons as shall be mutually agreed upon by Parent and the Company.

1.5.     Conversion of Shares.

(a)     At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any stockholder of the Company or Parent:

(i)     any shares of Company Capital Stock held as treasury stock or held or owned by the Company or Merger Sub, or any Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; and

3

(ii)     subject to Section 1.5(c), each share of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(i) and excluding Dissenting Shares) shall be automatically converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Merger Consideration”).

(b)     If any shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option or a risk of forfeiture under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other similar agreement with the Company, then the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for such shares of Company Capital Stock will to the same extent be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option or risk of forfeiture, and such shares of Parent Common Stock shall accordingly be marked with appropriate legends. The Company shall take all actions that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, Parent is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in any such restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement in accordance with its terms.

(c)     No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of Company Capital Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon surrender by such holder of a letter of transmittal in accordance with Section 1.7 and any accompanying documents as required therein, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the Parent Closing Price.

(d)     All Company Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Company Plan shall be treated in accordance with Section 5.5.

(e)     Each share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall, as of the Effective Time, evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(f)     If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock or Parent Common Stock shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split (including the Reverse Split), combination or exchange of shares or other like change, the Exchange Ratio shall, to the extent necessary, be equitably adjusted to reflect such change to the extent necessary to provide the holders of Company Capital Stock and Parent Common Stock with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares or other like change; provided, however, that nothing herein will be construed to permit the Company or Parent to take any action with respect to Company Capital Stock or Parent Common Stock, respectively, that is prohibited or not expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

4

1.6.     Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (a) all shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be treated in accordance with Section 1.5(a), and all holders of certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company; and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Capital Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Company Stock Certificate”) is presented to the Exchange Agent or to the Surviving Corporation, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Sections 1.5 and 1.7.

1.7.     Surrender of Certificates.

(a)     On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent and the Company shall agree upon and select a reputable bank, transfer agent or trust company to act as exchange agent in the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). At the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent: (i) certificates or evidence of book-entry shares representing the Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.5(a) and (ii) cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.5(c). The Parent Common Stock and cash amounts so deposited with the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such shares, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund.”    

(b)     Promptly after the Effective Time, the Parties shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the Persons who were record holders of shares of Company Capital Stock that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Parent may reasonably specify (including a provision confirming that delivery of Company Stock Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Company Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Company Stock Certificates to the Exchange Agent); and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates in exchange for shares of Parent Common Stock. Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate to the Exchange Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or Parent: (A) the holder of such Company Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate or certificates or book-entry shares representing the Merger Consideration (in a number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock) that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5(a) (and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5(c)); and (B) the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.7(b), each Company Stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive a certificate or certificates or book-entry shares of Parent Common Stock representing the Merger Consideration (and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock). If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the delivery of any shares of Parent Common Stock, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an applicable affidavit with respect to such Company Stock Certificate. In the event of a transfer of ownership of a Company Stock Certificate that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of the Merger Consideration may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name such Company Stock Certificate so surrendered is registered if such Company Stock Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the transfer or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. The Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions as are payable pursuant to Section 1.7(c) shall be deemed to have been in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to Company Capital Stock formerly represented by such Company Stock Certificates.

5

(c)     No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive in the Merger until such holder surrenders such Company Stock Certificate or provides an affidavit of loss or destruction in lieu thereof in accordance with this Section 1.7 (at which time (or, if later, on the applicable payment date) such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).

(d)     Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Company Stock Certificates as of the date that is one year after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Company Stock Certificates who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates in accordance with this Section 1.7 shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for Parent Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock.

(e)     Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of any Company Stock Certificate such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld from such consideration under the Code or under any other applicable Law. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent, and the Surviving Corporation shall, if requested by the Company, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to reduce or eliminate any such withholdingincluding requesting and providing recipients of consideration a reasonable opportunity to provide documentation establishing exemptions from or reductions of such withholdings. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(f)     No party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of any Company Stock Certificate or to any other Person with respect to any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or for any cash amounts delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property Law, escheat Law or similar Law.

1.8.     Appraisal Rights.

(a)     Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by stockholders who have exercised and perfected appraisal rights for such shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration described in Section 1.5 attributable to such Dissenting Shares. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Company Capital Stock held by them in accordance with the DGCL, unless and until such stockholders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under the DGCL. All Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their right to appraisal of such shares of Company Capital Stock under the DGCL (whether occurring before, at or after the Effective Time) shall thereupon be deemed to be converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, attributable to such Dissenting Shares upon their surrender in the manner provided in Sections 1.5 and 1.7.

(b)     The Company shall give Parent prompt written notice of any demands by dissenting stockholders received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served on the Company and any material correspondence received by the Company in connection with such demands, and Parent shall have the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands; provided that the Company shall have the right to participate in such negotiations and proceedings. The Company shall not, except with Parent’s prior written consent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or approve any withdrawal of any such demands or agree to do any of the foregoing.

1.9.     Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by the Surviving Corporation to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of the Company, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be fully authorized, and shall use their and its commercially reasonable efforts (in the name of the Company, in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Surviving Corporation and otherwise) to take such action.

(f)     Except as identified in Section 2.12(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is the sole and unrestricted legal and beneficial owner of all right, title, and interest to and in Company IP Rights purported to be owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, free and clear of any Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i)     Each Person who is or was an employee or contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and who is or was involved in the creation or development of any material Company IP Rights purported to be owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has signed a valid, enforceable agreement containing an assignment of such Company IP Rights to the Company or such Subsidiary and confidentiality provisions protecting Trade Secrets and confidential information of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

14

(iv)     The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has taken commercially reasonable steps to protect and maintain the Company IP Rights, including to preserve the confidentiality of all proprietary information that the Company or such Subsidiary holds, or purports to hold, as a material Trade Secret. Any disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary of material Trade Secrets to any third party has been pursuant to the terms of a written agreement with such Person or is otherwise lawful.

(v)     Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has assigned, sold or otherwise transferred ownership of, or agreed to assign, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of, any material Company IP Rights owned or purported to be owned by or exclusively licensed to Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any other Person, and there exists no obligation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to assign, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of any material Company IP Rights to any third party.

(vi)     To the Knowledge of the Company, the Company IP Rights are valid and enforceable and constitute all Intellectual Property necessary for the Company and its Subsidiaries to conduct its business as currently conducted.

(g)     The manufacture, marketing, license, sale or intended use of any product or technology currently licensed, sold or developed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries does not violate any license or agreement between the Company or its Subsidiaries and any third party, and does not infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property right of any third party as of the date hereof, which infringement or misappropriation would reasonably be expected to be material to the Company or its business. To the Knowledge of the Company, no third party is infringing upon any Company IP Rights or violating any license or agreement between the Company or its Subsidiaries and such third party, and the Company and its Subsidiaries have not sent any written communication to or asserted or threatened in writing any action or claim against any Person involving or relating to the infringement or misappropriation of any Company IP Rights.

(h)     There is no current or pending Legal Proceeding (including any opposition, interference, inter partes review, or other proceeding in any patent or other government office) contesting the validity, ownership or right to use, sell, license or dispose of any Company IP Rights owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ products or technologies, or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any Company IP Rights licensed to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice asserting or suggesting that any such Company IP Rights, or the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ right to use, sell, license or dispose of any such Company IP Rights or products or technologies conflicts with or infringes or misappropriates or will conflict with or infringe or misappropriate the rights of any other Person.

(i)     Except as set forth in the Contracts listed on Section 2.12(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has ever assumed, or agreed to discharge or otherwise take responsibility for, any existing or potential liability of another Person for infringement, misappropriation, or violation of any Intellectual Property right, which assumption, agreement or responsibility is material and remains in force as of the date of this Agreement.

Following the delivery of the Tax Representation Letters pursuant to the preceding sentence, (x) Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause Dechert to deliver to it a tax opinion satisfying the requirements of Item 601 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act; and (y) the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause Cooley to deliver to it a tax opinion satisfying the requirements of Item 601 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act. In rendering such opinions, each of such counsel shall be entitled to rely on the Tax Representation Letters referred to in this Section 5.1(a). The Company covenants and agrees that the information provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries to Parent for inclusion in the Proxy Statement (including the Company Financials) will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make such information not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent makes no covenant, representation or warranty with respect to statements made in the Proxy Statement (and the letter to stockholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy included therewith), if any, based on information provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. The Company and its legal counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement, including all amendments and supplements thereto, prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and on the response to any comments of the SEC on the Proxy Statement, prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement to comply with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff and to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after it is filed with the SEC. Each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to Parent’s stockholders as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. Each Party shall promptly furnish to the other Party all information concerning such Party and such Party’s Affiliates and such Party’s stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.1. If Parent, Merger Sub or the Company become aware of any event or information that, pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Proxy Statement, as the case may be, then such Party, as the case may be, shall promptly inform the other Parties thereof and shall cooperate with such other Parties in filing such amendment or supplement with the SEC and, if appropriate, in mailing such amendment or supplement to the Parent stockholders.

56

(b)     The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Parent and provide, and require its Representatives to provide, Parent and its Representatives, with all true, correct and complete information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries that is required by Law to be included in the Registration Statement or reasonably requested by Parent to be included in the Registration Statement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to Parent a consent letter of the Company’s independent accounting firm, dated no more than two Business Days before the date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective (and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent), that is customary in scope and substance for consent letters delivered by independent public accountants in connection with registration statements similar to the Registration Statement.

5.2.     Company Stockholder Written Consent.

(a)     Promptly after the Registration Statement shall have been declared effective under the Securities Act, and in any event no later than three Business Days thereafter, the Company shall obtain the approval by written consent from Company stockholders sufficient for the Required Company Stockholder Vote in lieu of a meeting pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL, for purposes of (i) adopting and approving this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, (ii) acknowledging that the approval given thereby is irrevocable and that such stockholder is aware of its rights to demand appraisal for its shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, a true and correct copy of which will be attached thereto, and that such stockholder has received and read a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL, and (iii) acknowledging that by its approval of the Merger it is not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to its shares in connection with the Merger and thereby waives any rights to receive payment of the fair value of its capital stock under the DGCL. Under no circumstances shall the Company assert that any other approval or consent is necessary by its stockholders to approve this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.

(b)     Reasonably promptly following receipt of the Required Company Stockholder Vote, the Company shall prepare and mail a notice (the “Stockholder Notice”) to every stockholder of the Company that did not execute the Company Stockholder Written Consent. The Stockholder Notice shall (i) be a statement to the effect that the Company Board determined that the Merger is advisable in accordance with Section 251(b) of the DGCL and in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company and approved and adopted this Agreement, the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions, (ii) provide the stockholders of the Company to whom it is sent with notice of the actions taken in the Company Stockholder Written Consent, including the adoption and approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions in accordance with Section 228(e) of the DGCL and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company and (iii) include a description of the appraisal rights of the Company’s stockholders available under the DGCL, along with such other information as is required thereunder and pursuant to applicable Law. All materials (including any amendments thereto) submitted to the stockholders of the Company in accordance with this Section 5.2(b) shall be subject to Parent’s advance review and reasonable approval.

(c)     The Company agrees that: (i) the Company Board shall recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote to adopt and approve this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit such approval within the time set forth in Section 5.2(a) (the recommendation of the Company Board that the Company’s stockholders vote to adopt and approve this Agreement being referred to as the “Company Board Recommendation”); and (ii) the Company Board Recommendation shall not be withdrawn or modified (and the Company Board shall not publicly propose to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation) in a manner adverse to Parent, and no resolution by the Company Board or any committee thereof to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent or to adopt, approve or recommend (or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend) any Acquisition Proposal shall be adopted or proposed.

57

(d)     The Company’s obligation to solicit the consent of its stockholders to sign the Company Stockholder Written Consent in accordance with Section 5.2(a) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Superior Offer or other Acquisition Proposal.

5.3.     Parent Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a)     Parent shall take all action necessary under applicable Law to call, give notice of and hold a meeting of the holders of Parent Common Stock to consider and vote to approve (i) the issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the Reverse Split (the “Parent Stockholder Matters” and such meeting, the “Parent Stockholders’ Meeting”). The Parent Stockholders’ Meeting shall be held as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, and in any event within forty five (45) days after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act (other than to the extent that the Registration Statement is subject to any stop order or proceeding (or threatened proceeding by the SEC) seeking a stop order with respect to the Registration Statement, in which case such forty five (45) day period shall be tolled for the earlier of forty five (45) days or so long as such stop order remains in effect or proceeding or threatened proceeding remains pending. Parent shall take reasonable measures to ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting are solicited in compliance with all applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if on the date of the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, or a date preceding the date on which the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting is scheduled, Parent reasonably believes that (i) it will not receive proxies sufficient to obtain the Required Parent Stockholder Vote, whether or not a quorum would be present or (ii) it will not have sufficient shares of Parent Common Stock represented (whether in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, Parent may postpone or adjourn, or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of, the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting as long as the date of the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting is not postponed or adjourned more than an aggregate of 60 calendar days in connection with any postponements or adjournments.

(b)     Parent agrees that, subject to Section 5.3(c): (i) the Parent Board shall recommend that the holders of Parent Common Stock vote to approve the Parent Stockholder Matters, (ii) the Proxy Statement shall include a statement to the effect that the Parent Board recommends that Parent’s stockholders vote to approve the Parent Stockholder Matters (the recommendation of the Parent Board being referred to as the “Parent Board Recommendation”); and (iii) the Parent Board Recommendation shall not be withheld, amended, withdrawn or modified (and the Parent Board shall not publicly propose to withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Parent Board Recommendation) in a manner adverse to the Company (the actions set forth in the foregoing clause (iii), collectively, a “Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change”).

58

(c)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(b), and subject to compliance with Section 4.4 and Section 5.3 (including Section 5.3(e)), if at any time prior to the approval of Parent Stockholder Matters by the Required Parent Stockholder Vote, Parent receives a bona fide written Superior Offer, the Parent Board may make a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change if, but only if, following the receipt of and on account of such Superior Offer, (i) the Parent Board determines in good faith, based on the advice of its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (ii) Parent has, and has caused its financial advisors and outside legal counsel to, during the Parent Notice Period (as defined below), negotiate with the Company in good faith (if the Company so desires) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Offer, and (iii) if after the Company shall have delivered to Parent a written offer to alter the terms or conditions of this Agreement during the Parent Notice Period, the Parent Board shall have determined in good faith, based on the advice of its outside legal counsel, that the failure to withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Parent Board Recommendation would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (after taking into account such alterations of the terms and conditions of this Agreement); provided that the Company receives written notice from Parent confirming that the Parent Board has determined to change its recommendation at least four Business Days in advance of such Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change, (the “Parent Notice Period”), which notice shall include written copies of any relevant proposed transaction agreements with any party making a potential Superior Offer. In the event of any material amendment to any Superior Offer, Parent shall be required to provide the Company with notice of such material amendment and the Parent Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least two Business Days remain in the Parent Notice Period following such notification during which the parties shall comply again with the requirements of this Section 5.3(c) and the Parent Board shall not make a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change prior to the end of such Parent Notice Period as so extended.

(d)     Other than in connection with a bona fide written Superior Offer (which shall be subject to Section 5.3(c)), the Parent Board may make a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Parent Change in Circumstance, if and only if: (A) the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; (B) the Company receives written notice from Parent confirming that the Parent Board has determined to change its recommendation at least four Business Days in advance of the Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change (the “Parent Change in Circumstance Notice”); and (C) (1) Parent shall have specified the Parent Change in Circumstance in reasonable detail, (2) Parent shall have given the Company four Business Days after the Parent Change in Circumstance Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make another proposal so that such Parent Change in Circumstance would no longer necessitate a Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change, and shall have negotiated in good faith with the Company (if the Company so desires) with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any, and (3) after considering the results of such negotiations and giving effect to the proposals made by the Company, if any, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Parent Board shall have determined, in good faith, that the failure to make the Parent Board Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Parent Change in Circumstance is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

59

(e)     Parent’s obligation to call, give notice of and hold the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting in accordance with Section 5.3(a) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Superior Offer or Acquisition Proposal, or by any withdrawal or modification of the Parent Board Recommendation.

(f)     Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Parent or the Parent Board from (i) complying with Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or (iii) otherwise making any disclosure to the Parent stockholders; provided however, that in the case of the foregoing clause (iii) the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to make such disclosure would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with applicable Law, including its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, further, that any such disclosures (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be a change of the Parent Board Recommendation unless the Parent Board expressly publicly reaffirms the Parent Board Recommendation (i) in such communication or (ii) within three Business Days after being requested in writing to do so by the Company.

5.4.     Regulatory Approvals.

(a)     Each Party shall use reasonable best efforts to file or otherwise submit, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, all applications, notices, reports and other documents reasonably required to be filed by such Party with or otherwise submitted by such Party to any Governmental Body with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, and to submit promptly any additional information requested by any such Governmental Body.

(b)     Parent and the Company shall confer on or prior to 30 days after the date of this Agreement, or on such later date as mutually agreed by Parent and the Company (the “Filing Determination Date”), to determine whether notification under the HSR Act by the Parent and any shareholder of the Company is required or advisable (a “Shareholder HSR Filing”). If either Parent or the Company reasonably determines in good faith that such notification is required or advisable, the Company shall notify the shareholder, pursuant to the terms of the Support Agreement, that such notification is required, and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain expiration or termination of all waiting periods under the HSR Act with respect to the Contemplated Transactions as promptly as reasonably practicable, and shall make, or cause to be made, all filings required under the HSR Act (which filings shall request early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act) with respect to the Contemplated Transactions no later than ten (10) Business Days after the Filing Determination Date. Parent agrees to furnish promptly to the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the “Antitrust Division”) additional information reasonably requested in connection with such Shareholder HSR Filing. Parent and the Company shall cooperate with each other and any Company shareholder in connection with any such filing or investigation relating thereto, including sharing drafts of documents before filing and considering in good faith all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith, including with respect to any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals. Parent shall furnish the Company copies of any correspondence, communication, or filing, and Parent shall not independently participate in any meeting with the FTC or the Antitrust Division in respect of any such filing or investigation without giving the Company notice and, to the extent permitted by such governmental authority, the opportunity to attend and/or participate. Parent may, as it deems advisable, designate any confidential or competitively sensitive material provided to the Company under this Section 5.4 as “outside counsel only” in which case such materials and information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the Company and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors, unless express written permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials.

60

5.5.     Company Options.

(a)     At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Company Plan, whether or not vested, shall be assumed by Parent and converted into an option to purchase Parent Common Stock, and Parent shall assume the Company Plan and each such Company Option in accordance with the terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) of the Company Plan and the terms of the stock option agreement by which each such Company Option is evidenced (but with changes to such documents as Parent in good faith determines are appropriate to reflect the assumption of the Company Options by Parent). All rights with respect to Company Common Stock under Company Options assumed by Parent (each, an “Assumed Option”) shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Section 5.5(a). Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (i) each Assumed Option may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Assumed Option shall be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; (iii) the per share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Assumed Option shall be determined by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (iv) any restriction on the exercise of any Assumed Option shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Company Option shall otherwise remain unchanged; provided, that: (A) Parent may amend the terms of the Company Options and the Company Plan to reflect Parent’s substitution of the Company Options with options to purchase Parent Common Stock (such as by making any change in control or similar definition relate to Parent and having any provision that provides for the adjustment of Company Options upon the occurrence of certain corporate events relate to corporate events that relate to Parent and/or Parent Common Stock); and (B) the Parent Board or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to each Assumed Option.

61

(b)     Parent shall file with the SEC, promptly, but no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Time, a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form), if available for use by Parent, relating to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to Company Options assumed by Parent in accordance with Section 5.5(a).

(c)     Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions that may be necessary (under the Company Plan and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 5.5 and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, holders of Company Options have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 5.5.

5.6.     Parent Options. Prior to the Closing, the Parent Board shall have adopted appropriate resolutions and taken all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that each unexpired and unexercised Parent Option, whether vested or unvested, shall be accelerated in full effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, with each unexercised Parent Option remaining outstanding immediately after the Effective Time in accordance with its terms.

5.7.     Employee Benefits. For purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate, and level of benefits under the benefit plans, programs, contracts or arrangements of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries) providing benefits to any Continuing Employee after the Closing (the “Post-Closing Plans”) each employee who continues to be employed by Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries immediately following the Closing (“Continuing Employees”) shall be credited with his or her years of service(s) with the Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for purposes of each Post-Closing Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to a Continuing Employee, Parent shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively at work requirements of such Post-Closing Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent and unless such conditions would have been waived or satisfied under the employee benefit plan whose coverage is being replaced under the Post-Closing Plan, and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by a Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of such plan year in which coverage is replaced with coverage under a Post-Closing Plan to be taken into account under such Post-Closing Plan with respect to the plan year in which participation in such Post-Closing Plan begins for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for such plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Post-Closing Plan.

(b)     Parent and the Company shall cause the Company and Parent to comply with the terms of any employment, severance, retention, change of control or similar agreement specified on Section 2.17(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and Section 2.17(b) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, subject to the provisions of such agreements.

62

5.8.     Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a)     From the Effective Time through the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director, officer, fiduciary or agent of Parent or the Company, respectively (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Costs”), incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the D&O Indemnified Party is or was a director, officer, fiduciary or agent of Parent or of the Company, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. Each D&O Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, jointly and severally, upon receipt by Parent or the Surviving Corporation from the D&O Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided that any such person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to Parent, to the extent then required by the DGCL, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.

(b)     The provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Parent with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of Parent that are presently set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Parent shall not be amended, modified or repealed for a period of six years from the Effective Time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were officers or directors of Parent. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain, and Parent shall cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to so contain, provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers as those presently set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Parent.

(c)     From and after the Effective Time, (i) the Surviving Corporation shall fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company to its D&O Indemnified Parties as of immediately prior to the Closing pursuant to any indemnification provisions under the Company’s Organizational Documents and pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company and such D&O Indemnified Parties, with respect to claims arising out of matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and (ii) Parent shall fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of Parent to its D&O Indemnified Parties as of immediately prior to the Closing pursuant to any indemnification provisions under Parent’s Organizational Documents and pursuant to any indemnification agreements between Parent and such D&O Indemnified Parties, with respect to claims arising out of matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time.

(d)     From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, with an effective date as of the Closing Date, on commercially available terms and conditions and with coverage limits customary for U.S. public companies similarly situated to Parent. In addition, Parent shall purchase, prior to the Effective Time, a six-year prepaid “tail policy” (the cost of which shall be a Company Transaction Expense) for the non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of Parent’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time.

63

(e)     From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that are incurred by the persons referred to in this Section 5.8 in connection with their successful enforcement of the rights provided to such persons in this Section 5.8.

(f)     The provisions of this Section 5.8 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current and former officers and directors of Parent and the Company by Law, charter, statute, bylaw or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives.

(g)     In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.8. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.8.

5.9.     Additional Agreements. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be taken all actions necessary to consummate the Contemplated Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party to this Agreement: (a) shall make all filings and other submissions (if any) and give all notices (if any) required to be made and given by such Party in connection with the Contemplated Transactions; (b) shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain each Consent (if any) reasonably required to be obtained (pursuant to any applicable Law or Contract, or otherwise) by such Party in connection with the Contemplated Transactions or for such Contract to remain in full force and effect; (c) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to lift any injunction prohibiting, or any other legal bar to, the Contemplated Transactions; and (d) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions precedent to the consummation of this Agreement.

5.10.     Disclosure. Without limiting any Party’s obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement, no Party shall, and no Party shall permit any of its Subsidiaries or any Representative of such Party to, issue any press release or make any disclosure (to any customers or employees of such Party, to the public or otherwise) regarding the Contemplated Transactions unless: (a) the other Party shall have approved such press release or disclosure in writing, such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed; or (b) such disclosure is requested by a Governmental Body or such Party shall have determined in good faith that such disclosure is required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service and, to the extent practicable, before such press release or disclosure is issued or made, such Party shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to advise the other Party of, and consult with the other Party regarding, the text of such press release or disclosure; provided, however, that Parent may make any public statement in response to specific questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst conference calls, so long as any such statements are consistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by the Company or Parent in compliance with this Section 5.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the initial press release regarding the Contemplated Transactions may be issued by Parent and such press release and the Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by Parent in connection with the initial announcement of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions shall not be subject to this Section 5.10.

64

5.11.     Listing. Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, (a) to the extent required by the rules and regulations of NASDAQ, to prepare and submit to NASDAQ a notification form for the listing of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, and to cause such shares to be approved for listing (subject to official notice of issuance); and (b) to the extent required by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5110, to file an initial listing application for the Parent Common Stock on NASDAQ (the “NASDAQ Listing Application”) and to cause such NASDAQ Listing Application to be conditionally approved prior to the Effective Time. The Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with respect to compliance with NASDAQ rules and regulations. The Company agrees to pay all NASDAQ fees associated with the NASDAQ Listing Application (the cost of which shall be a Company Transaction Expense). The Company will cooperate with Parent as reasonably requested by Parent with respect to the NASDAQ Listing Application and promptly furnish to Parent all information concerning the Company and its stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.11.

5.12.     Tax Matters.

(a)     For United States federal income Tax purposes, (i) the Parties intend that the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”), and (ii) this Agreement is intended to be, and is hereby adopted as, a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Section 354 and 361 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a), to which the Parent, Merger Sub and the Company are parties under Section 368(b) of the Code. The Parties shall treat and shall not take any tax reporting position inconsistent with the treatment of the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal, state and other relevant Tax purposes, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

(b)     The Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify, and agree not to take any action or permit or cause any affiliate or any Subsidiary to take any action which action would reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying, for the Intended Tax Treatment.

(c)     Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Dechert and Cooley a “Tax Representation Letter,” dated as of the Closing Date and signed by an officer of Parent, containing representations of Parent, and Merger Sub, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Dechert and Cooley a “Tax Representation Letter,” dated as of the Closing Date and signed by an officer of the Company, containing representations of the Company, in each case as shall be necessary or appropriate to enable Cooley to render the opinion described in Section 5.12(e) of this Agreement and Dechert to render the opinion described in Section 5.12(d) of this Agreement.

65

(d)     Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain an opinion of Dechert, to the effect that the Merger shall qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, dated as of the Closing and also dated as of any earlier date as may be required by the SEC in connection with the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. In rendering such opinion, Dechert may require and rely upon (and may incorporate by reference) reasonable and customary representations and covenants, including those contained in the Tax Representation Letters described in Section 5.12(c) of this Agreement.

(e)     The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain an opinion of Cooley to the effect that the Merger shall qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, dated as of the Closing and also dated as of any earlier date as may be required by the SEC in connection with the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

10.12.     No Third Party Beneficiaries.

Form of Company Support Agreement

October 27, 2017

RE: Support Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made in this letter (this “Agreement”) to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended, modified or amended and restated from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Aviragen Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Agora Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Subsidiary”), and Vaxart, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Capitalized or other terms used and not defined herein but defined in the Merger Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement. In order to induce Parent and the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement, and understanding that each of Parent and the Company are relying on the agreements set forth herein, [name of stockholder], [an individual][entity type] (the “Securityholder”), hereby agrees as follows:

1.Securityholder Approval. Securityholder hereby agrees that, during the Agreement Period (as defined below), Proxyholder (as defined below) shall exercise all of the voting rights attached to the Company Capital Stock held beneficially or of record by the Securityholder (including any shares of Company Capital Stock that are issued upon the exercise of any options held by the Securityholder during the Agreement Period), which shares are set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto (together with any shares issued upon the exercise of any options held by the Securityholder during the Agreement Period, the “Subject Shares”) (including the execution and delivery on behalf of such Securityholder of all instruments and documents to be executed by such Securityholder in its capacity as a voting stockholder) in favor of the Company Stockholder Matters. Without limiting the foregoing, as promptly as practicable, and in no event later than 11:59 p.m. New York time on the day that is three Business Days after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, the Securityholder shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to each of the Company and Parent, the written consent attached hereto as Exhibit A, which written consent shall adopt and approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger and shall not be amended, rescinded or modified.

2.Dissenters’ Rights. The Securityholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives (and shall cause each of its Affiliates, if ever a holder of Subject Shares, to irrevocably and unconditionally waive) any dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights or similar rights that the Securityholder may have arising out of the consummation of the Merger and the Contemplated Transactions, whether arising out of applicable Law, contract or otherwise, and the Securityholder hereby withdraws any and all objections or any other actions with respect to the Merger Agreement and Contemplated Transactions and/or demands for appraisal, if any, with respect to any shares of capital stock of the Company owned or hereinafter acquired by the Securityholder.

3.Grant of Irrevocable Proxy. In order to secure the Securityholder’s obligation to vote the Subject Shares in accordance with this Agreement, each such Securityholder hereby appoints Parent as the proxyholder (the “Proxyholder”) with full power of substitution and re-substitution, commencing on the date of this Agreement for the duration of the Agreement Period, as such Securityholder’s true and lawful attorney in fact and irrevocable proxy, for and in such Securityholder’s name, place and stead, to vote the Subject Shares as such Securityholder’s proxy with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1, including whether at a meeting of stockholders (and at any adjournment or postponement thereof), or through the solicitation of a written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting (whether of any individual class of shares or of multiple classes of shares voting together as a single class). The proxy and power granted by such Securityholder pursuant to this Section 3 is coupled with an interest and is given to secure the performance of such Securityholder’s duties under this Agreement. The Securityholder hereby revokes or agrees to promptly cause to be revoked any proxy that such Securityholder has heretofore granted with respect to the Subject Shares.

4.Restriction on Transfer. From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms (the “Agreement Period”), the Securityholder shall not (a) directly or indirectly, offer for sale, sell, transfer, tender, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift) (each, a “Transfer”), or agree to Transfer, any of the Subject Shares or any interest therein to any Person, (b) grant or agree to grant any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent in or with respect to any of such Subject Shares (except as provided in Sections 1 and 3 hereof), (c) otherwise permit any Encumbrance to be created on any Subject Shares or (d) take any other action that would make the Securityholder’s representations or warranties contained herein untrue or incorrect in any material respect or restrict, limit or otherwise interfere with the performance of the Securityholder’s obligations in this Agreement. The Securityholder agrees that any Transfer in violation of this Section 4 shall be null and void.

5.No Solicitation. The Securityholder shall not, directly or indirectly, knowingly take any action that the Company is not permitted to take pursuant to Section 4.5 of the Merger Agreement.

6.Documentation and Information. The Securityholder shall permit and hereby authorizes Parent to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC, and any press release or other disclosure document that Parent reasonably determines to be necessary in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Securityholder’s identity and ownership of the Subject Shares and the nature of the Securityholder’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement.

7.Representations and Warranties. The Securityholder represents and warrants that:

(a)      if the Securityholder is an entity, it is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or other formation;

2

(b)      the Securityholder has all necessary power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his, her or its obligations hereunder;

(c)      the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Securityholder has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Securityholder, do not violate any provision of any agreement to which the Securityholder is a party, do not violate or conflict with and shall not result in a material breach of any Law, and do not and shall not require authorization, approval, consent or further action by any other Person or result in the imposition of an Encumbrance on the Subject Shares;

(d)      this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Securityholder and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Securityholder, enforceable against him, her or it in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions;

(e)     as of the date of this Agreement, the Securityholder is, and at all times during the Agreement Period shall be, the owner of the Subject Shares. As of the date of this Agreement, the Subject Shares together constitute all of the shares of capital stock of the Company owned by the Securityholder. The Securityholder has, and at all times during the Agreement Period shall have, with respect to the Subject Shares, the sole power, directly or indirectly, to vote or dispose of the Subject Shares, and as such, has, and at all times during the Agreement Period shall have, the complete and exclusive power to, directly or indirectly, (a) issue (or cause the issuance of) instructions with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement, (b) agree to all matters set forth in this Agreement, and (c) demand and waive dissenters’ rights. As of the date of this Agreement, the Subject Shares are issued and outstanding and entitled to be voted. Except as provided in this Agreement, there are no agreements or arrangements of any kind, contingent or otherwise, to which the Securityholder is a party obligating the Securityholder to Transfer, or cause to be Transferred, any of the Subject Shares. Except pursuant to the Merger Agreement, no Person has any contractual or other right or obligation to purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Subject Shares;

(f)     as of the date of this Agreement, there is no action pending, or, to the knowledge of the Securityholder, threatened against or affecting, the Securityholder or any of his, her or its properties or assets (including the Subject Shares) that could reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Securityholder to perform his, her or its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis; and

(g)     the Securityholder has had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the Merger Agreement with counsel of his, her or its own choosing. The Securityholder understands and acknowledges that Parent and the Company are each entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Securityholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

3

8.Specific Performance. The Securityholder agrees that irreparable damage would occur to Parent and the Company in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Securityholder in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that Parent and the Company shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction and that this shall include the right of Parent and the Company to fully perform the terms of this Agreement to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to this Agreement and applicable Law and to thereafter cause this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions thereto set forth in this Agreement. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which Parent and the Company may have under this Agreement or otherwise. The Securityholder agrees that the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and without that right, Parent and the Company would not have entered into this Agreement or the Merger Agreement. The Securityholder hereby waives (a) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at Law would be adequate, and (b) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

9.Signatures. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, electronically or portable document format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

10.Termination. This Agreement shall terminate automatically and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of (i) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and (ii) the Effective Time, provided that nothing herein shall relieve any party to this Agreement from Liability for any breach of this Agreement, and Sections 8, 10-15 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

11.Amendment. Any amendment, modification or revision of this Agreement shall be effective only if in a written instrument executed by the Securityholder, Parent and the Company. Any waiver of compliance or consent with respect to the rights or obligations of Parent or the Company must be signed by Parent or the Company, as applicable, and any such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose stated in such writing.

16.Severability. The invalidity of any portion hereof shall not affect the validity, force or effect of the remaining portions hereof.

17.Further Assurances.

Aviragen Therapeutics and Vaxart Enter into Merger Agreement

Merged Company to Focus on Development of Antiviral Vaccines and Therapeutics

Based on Proprietary Delivery Technology Platform

Conference Call to be Held Today at 8:30 AM ET

ATLANTA, GA & SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA – October 30, 2017 – Aviragen Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVIR), a company focused on the discovery and development of direct-acting antivirals to treat infections that have limited therapeutic options, and Vaxart, Inc., a privately-held, clinical-stage company focused on developing oral recombinant vaccines based on its proprietary delivery platform that allows for administration by tablet rather than by injection, announced today that the companies have entered into a definitive merger agreement. The merger will result in a combined company, Vaxart, Inc., focused on developing orally-delivered therapeutics and prophylactics to address a variety of viral infections.

“We are thrilled with the prospect of combining forces with Aviragen, which will create a deep pipeline of antiviral products and allow Vaxart to accelerate development of the promising vaccine candidates that are based on our proprietary oral delivery platform,” said Wouter Latour, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Vaxart. “This transaction gives us the opportunity to build on the positive Phase 2 challenge study results we announced recently for our influenza oral tablet vaccine, as well as the excellent results we obtained in the safety and immunogenicity studies with our norovirus vaccine. Additionally, it will provide us access to Aviragen’s antiviral assets, including their BTA074 Phase 2 program for the treatment of condyloma caused by HPV, which is on track to complete enrollment this quarter and to report top-line safety and efficacy data in the second quarter of 2018.”

“We believe our oral vaccine programs are significantly de-risked based on the positive clinical outcome of the BARDA-funded H1N1 influenza Phase 2 challenge study which serves as proof of concept for our technology platform as a whole,” continued Latour, “and we look forward to taking our norovirus vaccine into a Phase 2 challenge study next. Norovirus is the leading cause of acute viral gastroenteritis in the United States, causing frequent outbreaks across the population, and we believe our oral tablet vaccine would be the optimal approach to address this unmet medical need.”

The Vaxart technology platform has been engineered for the delivery of a wide range of oral vaccines, initially targeting norovirus, human papilloma virus (HPV), respiratory syncytial virus, and influenza, using a convenient and room temperature-stable tablet, which eliminates the need for injection. In clinical studies to date, Vaxart vaccines consistently generated broad systemic and local immune responses that could provide important advantages in preventing infection, as well as robust T cell responses that we believe are essential to obtain a therapeutic benefit in chronic viral infection and cancer.

“After a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives, we are delighted to announce this transaction with Vaxart, which will complement Aviragen’s focus on infectious diseases and position us to create both near and long-term value for our stockholders,” said Joseph M. Patti, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Aviragen Therapeutics. “Vaxart is well-funded to advance its norovirus and HPV antiviral vaccine programs, and together with BTA074, the combined companies are poised to provide meaningful value-creating data readouts.”

Today, Vaxart will be announcing positive results from the company’s Phase 1b open-label, dose-ranging study assessing the safety and immunogenicity of VXA-G1.1-NN, Vaxart’s norovirus oral tablet vaccine, in 60 healthy adult volunteers. VXA-G1.1-NN met both the primary and secondary endpoints for safety and immunogenicity in the clinical trial. Based on the favorable clinical data, a Phase 2 norovirus challenge study is expected to begin in the second half of 2018. To date, Vaxart has dosed more than 300 adult volunteers with its vaccines for norovirus, respiratory syncytial virus and influenza.

About the Transaction

The exchange ratio in the merger agreement was determined by assigning $60 million in value to Aviragen for its financial and clinical assets and $90 million in value for Vaxart’s assets. On a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the number of shares of Aviragen common stock issued in the merger, Vaxart’s securityholders will own approximately 60% of the combined company and Aviragen securityholders will own approximately 40% of the combined company, subject to certain potential adjustments as described in the merger agreement. The transaction has been approved by the board of directors of both companies. The merger is expected to close in the first quarter of 2018, subject to the approval of the stockholders of each company as well as other customary conditions. Wouter Latour, M.D., will serve as Chief Executive Officer of the combined company.

Upon the closing of the transaction, the name of the combined company will become Vaxart, Inc. and shares of the combined are expected to continue trading on NASDAQ under the proposed ticker symbol “VXRT.”

Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated is acting as financial advisor to Aviragen, and Dechert LLP is serving as legal counsel to Aviragen. Cooley LLP is serving as legal counsel to Vaxart.

Aviragen will reduce its workforce by six to a total of 10 full-time employees, who will remain on board to complete the BTA074 Phase 2 clinical trial and assist with the transition of duties to the Vaxart management team.

Aviragen and Vaxart management will host a conference call this morning, Monday, October 30, 2017 at 8:30 a.m. EDT to discuss the planned merger. To participate in the conference call, please dial (877) 312-5422 (United States) or (253) 237-1122 (international) and refer to conference ID number 6295889.

Vaxart Announces Positive Safety and Immunogenicity Results for its

Oral Norovirus Vaccine in a Phase 1b Clinical Study

First Oral Tablet Norovirus Vaccine Progresses to Phase 2 Challenge Study

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., October 30, 2017 – Vaxart, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a range of oral recombinant vaccines that are administered by tablet rather than by injection, announced today that its norovirus tablet vaccine (VXA-G1.1-NN) generated broad systemic and intestinal immune responses, and was well-tolerated in a clinical phase 1b dose optimization study. Norovirus is the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis, an intestinal infection affecting 19 to 21 million people in the United States each year.

“Unlike vaccines delivered by injection, our oral tablet vaccine is delivered directly to the intestine, creating both a local response that serves as an effective first line of defense and a systemic response that offers an extra layer of protection,” said Sean Tucker, Ph.D., chief scientific officer of Vaxart. “This paired immune response is a fundamental feature of our oral vaccine that could provide an important advantage over injectable vaccines.”

In the study, Vaxart evaluated four different dosing regimens of the norovirus tablet vaccine in adults. Across all groups, 60 to 100 percent of adults had a positive immune response depending on the dosing schedule. In the high dose group, 100 percent of adults responded as measured by a significant increase in IgA and IgG antibody secreting cells. In the same group, there was at least a two-fold increase of norovirus blocking antibody titers (BT50) in serum in more than 90 percent of adults 28 days after dosing.

The norovirus tablet vaccine was generally well tolerated in all subjects. Adverse events (AEs) were mostly mild in severity with headache as the most frequent AE. No serious adverse events were reported. Based on these results, Vaxart is planning to initiate a Phase 2 norovirus challenge study in 2018.

“While norovirus causes frequent outbreaks, there are currently no norovirus vaccines approved for use in the United States,” said Wouter Latour, M.D., M.B.A., chief executive officer of Vaxart. “Our norovirus tablet vaccine candidate has the potential to protect vulnerable groups such as the elderly and the very young from norovirus infection, and could provide an important option for workers in the healthcare, food and travel industries. In addition, efficient distribution and administration of our convenient room temperature-stable tablet vaccine would greatly simplify vaccination campaigns in any setting.”

About the Study Design

The open label Phase 1b dose-ranging study assessed the safety and immunogenicity of VXA-G1.1-NN tablet vaccine in 60 healthy adult volunteers. Cohort 1 received two low doses delivered orally on days 1 and 8; cohort 2 received three low doses delivered on days 1, 3 and 5; cohort 3 received two low doses delivered on days 1 and 29, and cohort 4 received two high doses delivered on days 1 and 29. The primary endpoints were safety and immunogenicity as measured by blocking titer 50 (BT50), IgA and IgG antibody secreting cells, and IgA/IgG ELISA titers measured on days 28, 36 and 56.

About Norovirus

Norovirus is recognized as the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis in the United States. It is a common intestinal infection that typically lasts three to five days and is marked by diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, nausea and sometimes fever. Symptoms can be more severe in older adults and young children and may lead to serious complications including death. Norovirus causes frequent and widespread outbreaks in the military, food industry, travel industry, child care facilities, elderly homes and healthcare facilities.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that norovirus causes approximately 19 to 21 million illnesses in the United States each year, resulting in 56,000 to 71,000 hospitalizations and 570 to 800 deaths. In a recent Johns Hopkins University study, researchers estimated healthcare costs of norovirus at $4.2 billion and lost productivity costs at $56.2 billion globally.
