Chapter 11 Filing
On January 3, 2024 (the “Petition Date”),
Humanigen, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a voluntary petition under chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy
Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Company’s
chapter 11 case (the “Chapter 11 Case”) is being administered under the caption, In re Humanigen, Inc., Case No.
24-10003 (BLS).
The Company will continue to operate its business
as a “debtor in possession” and pursue a structured sale of its assets pursuant to a competitive bidding process. The Company
is seeking approval of a variety of “first day” motions containing customary relief intended to enable the Company to continue
its ordinary course operations during the Chapter 11 Case. In addition, the Company filed with the Bankruptcy Court a motion seeking approval
(the “Interim DIP Order”) of debtor in possession financing in the form of the DIP Loan (as defined and described below) to
fund post-petition operations and costs in the ordinary course.
Additional information about the Chapter 11
Case, including access to Bankruptcy Court documents, is available online at https://dm.epiq11.com/case/humanigen/info, a website administered
by Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC, a third-party bankruptcy claims and noticing agent. The information on this website is not incorporated
by reference into, and does not constitute part of, this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Asset Purchase Agreement
On January 3, 2024, prior to the filing of the Chapter
11 Case, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Taran Therapeutics
Inc., a Delaware corporation founded and controlled by Dr. Cameron Durrant, the Company’s Chairman and CEO
(“Taran”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement, Taran
agreed to acquire certain assets related to the Company’s biopharmaceutical business, including its portfolio of proprietary
Humaneered® monoclonal antibodies, lenzilumab, ifabotuzumab and HGEN005, the equity in one of the Company’s international
subsidiaries, and certain causes of action (collectively, the “Assets”), and assume certain specified liabilities of the
Company (collectively, the “Liabilities” and such acquisition of the Assets and assumption of the Liabilities together,
the “Transaction”) for a total consideration of up to $20 million, comprised of $2 million in cash at closing of the
Transaction and up to $18 million in milestone payments in cash, if earned according to achievement of certain milestone events (the
“ Purchase Price”). The cash payable by Taran at closing of the Transaction would be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the
outstanding balance of any DIP Loan (as defined below) funded by Taran. In addition to these costs, costs associated with
transfer of certain agreements with vendors and partners at closing will be the responsibility of Taran.
The Company’s entrance into the Asset
Purchase Agreement followed an extensive effort by the Company to secure an alternative to a bankruptcy proceeding, as previously reported,
and was approved by a special committee of disinterested members of the Company’s board of directors (the “Special Committee”).
Upon Bankruptcy Court approval, Taran is expected
to be designated as the “stalking horse” bidder in connection with a sale of the Assets under section 363 of the Bankruptcy
Code. The Transaction will be conducted through a Bankruptcy Court-supervised process pursuant to Bankruptcy Court-approved bidding procedures
and is subject to the receipt of higher or better offers from competing bidders at an auction, approval of the sale by the Bankruptcy
Court, and the satisfaction of certain conditions.
The Asset Purchase Agreement contains customary
representations, warranties and covenants of the parties for a transaction involving the acquisition of assets from a debtor in bankruptcy,
and the completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of customary conditions, which, among others, include the entry of an order
of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and approving the Transaction, the performance by each party of its obligations under the Asset Purchase
Agreement and the material accuracy of each party’s representations.
The Asset Purchase Agreement may be terminated,
subject to certain exceptions: (i) by the mutual written consent of the parties; (ii) by either party, if (a) any court of competent jurisdiction
or other competent governmental authority issues a final, non-appealable order prohibiting the Transaction; (b) if the closing has not
occurred on or prior to seventy (70) days after the Petition Date or (c) the Chapter 11 Case is dismissed or converted to a case under
Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code or if a trustee or examiner with expanded powers to operate or manage the financial affairs or reorganization
of the Company is appointed in the Chapter 11 Case; (iii) by either party, for certain material breaches by the other party of its
representations and warranties or covenants that remain uncured following a specified cure period; (iv) by either party, if all of the
conditions precedent to the Transaction have not been satisfied or waived; (v) by Taran, if the Sale Order, Interim DIP Order, Final DIP
Order are not entered by the deadlines set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement; (vi) by Taran, if the Company is in material default
under the DIP Loan; or (vii) by either party, if the Company has agreed to enter into, in the manner provided for under the Asset Purchase
Agreement, an alternative transaction. Nonetheless, nothing in the Asset Purchase Agreement requires the Company or the Special Committee
to take any action, or to refrain from taking any action, to the extent inconsistent with applicable law or its fiduciary obligations
under applicable law.
The foregoing summary of the Asset Purchase
Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which
is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The representations, warranties and covenants
set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement have been made only for purposes of the Asset Purchase Agreement and solely for the benefit
of the parties thereto, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential
disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement instead of establishing
these matters as facts. In addition, information regarding the subject matter of the representations and warranties made in the Asset
Purchase Agreement may change after the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement and do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this
Current Report on Form 8-K. Accordingly, investors should not rely upon the representations and warranties in the Asset Purchase Agreement
as statements of factual information.
| Item 2.03 | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
Debtor-in-Possession Financing
In connection with the filing of the Chapter 11 Case, Taran
agreed to provide debtor in possession financing to the Company (the “DIP Loan”), pursuant to which, and subject to the satisfaction
of the applicable conditions precedent contained therein, including the entry by the Bankruptcy Court of an appropriate order relating
to the same (the “Interim DIP Order”), Taran would provide the Company with a DIP Loan in an aggregate principal amount of
up to $2 million. Borrowings under the DIP Loan would be senior secured obligations of the Company, secured by a superpriority lien on
certain assets of the Company (“Collateral”), subject to customary exceptions.
The DIP Loan is expected to contain customary
covenants for comparable debtor in possession financing arrangements, including covenants mandating compliance by the Company with a 13-week
budget, among others. The proceeds of all or a portion of the proposed DIP Loan may be used for, among other things, post-petition working
capital for the Company, payment of costs to administer the Chapter 11 Case, payment of expenses and fees of the transactions contemplated
by the Chapter 11 Case, payment of court-approved adequate protection obligations under the DIP Loan, and payment of other costs, in each
case, subject to an approved budget and such other purposes permitted under the Interim DIP Order or any other order of the Bankruptcy
Court.
The DIP Loan is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court,
which has not been obtained at this time. The Company is seeking (i) interim approval of one tranche of the DIP Loan in the amount of
up to $1,000,000 at an interim hearing in the Bankruptcy Court and (ii) final approval of up to the entire principal amount at a final
hearing in the Bankruptcy Court.
Amounts borrowed under the DIP Loan shall
become due and payable immediately upon the earlier to occur of: (i) five (5) months after the Petition Date; (ii) the approval by the
Bankruptcy Court of Taran’s bid under the Section 363 sale process (in which case amounts owed will be applied against the Purchase
Price); or (iii) the occurrence of customary events of default including, without limitation, (a) a failure to achieve a specified milestone,
(b) the dismissal or conversion of the Chapter 11 Case, (c) a filing by the Company and/or confirmation of a bankruptcy plan in the Chapter
11 Case which does not provide for payment in full of the DIP Loan, (d) a filing by the Company and/or approval of a sale or licensing
of any of the Collateral, (e) the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee, (f) the entry of any order in the Chapter 11 Case granting a senior
lien on the Collateral to any person or entity other than Taran, (g) a failure to obtain approval of the DIP Loan by the Bankruptcy Court,
and (h) a judgment or settlement that results in more than $150,000 debit to the cash resources of the Company without Taran’s consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Cautionary
Note Regarding the Company’s Common Stock
The Company
cautions that trading in the Company’s securities (including, without limitation, the Company’s common stock) during the pendency
of the Chapter 11 Case is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little
or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Company’s securities in the Chapter 11 Case. The Company expects
that holders of shares of the Company’s common stock will experience a complete or significant loss on their investment, depending
on the outcome of the Chapter 11 Case.
Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current
Report on Form 8-K includes statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the
“safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified
by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,”
“will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or
other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. The Company’s
actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and other
factors, which could include the following: risks and uncertainties relating to the Company’s Chapter 11 Case and expectations regarding
the Asset Purchase Agreement including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval with respect
to motions in its Chapter 11 Case, the Company’s plans to sell its assets under the Asset Purchase Agreement; the ability to consummate
the Transaction on a timely basis; the effects of the Chapter 11 Case on the Company and on the interests of various constituents, Bankruptcy
Court rulings in the Chapter 11 Case and the outcome of the Chapter 11 Case in general, the length of time the Company will operate under
the Chapter 11 Case, risks associated with any third-party motions in the Chapter 11 Case; risks and uncertainties relating to the settlement
of the securities class action lawsuit and expectations regarding the Settlement Agreement including, but not limited to, the Company’s
ability to obtain District Court and Bankruptcy Court approvals and expected payment of the Settlement Amount by the Company’s insurance
provider; and the trading price and volatility of the Company’s common stock as well as other risk factors set forth in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, and other periodic and current reports filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. These statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are based on various assumptions, whether or
not identified in this current report, and on the current expectations of the Company’s management. These forward-looking statements
are not intended to serve, and must not be relied on by any investor, as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement
of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many
actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks
and uncertainties, including those identified in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC, and if any of these risks materialize
or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.

(g) except
with respect to the Foreign Subsidiary, all shares of capital stock, limited liability company interests, or other equity interests of

Liabilities and obligations of Seller under the Assigned Contracts first arising or first accruing after the Closing;

Liabilities relating to amounts required to be paid, or actions to be taken or to be omitted to be taken, by Purchaser under this Agreement;
(d) to
the extent lawfully transferable, all obligations, commitments and Liabilities under any Governmental Authorizations assigned to Purchaser

Notwithstanding the foregoing

by, or any Action against, Seller or any breach, default or violation by Seller of or under any Assigned Contracts arising prior to Closing.
1.4 Excluded
Liabilities. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that Purchaser
shall not assume, be obligated to pay, perform or otherwise discharge or in any other manner be liable or responsible for any Liabilities
of Seller (including any Liens, Claims, Liabilities or Encumbrances of or against the Seller), whether liquidated, unliquidated, fixed,
contingent, disputed or undisputed, as a result of any act, omission or circumstances taking place prior to the Closing, other than the
Assumed Liabilities (all such Liabilities that Purchaser is not assuming are referred to collectively herein as the “Excluded
Liabilities”).
1.5 Contract
Assumption and Assignment Procedures; Designation Rights.
(a) (i)
Schedule 1.1(a) shall set forth the list of Assigned Contracts that Purchaser would like to acquire and the projected Cure Costs
as of the Closing Date and Purchaser shall (with the assistance of Seller) provide a proposed Schedule 1.1(a) to Seller no later
than five (5) day prior to the Sale Hearing; (ii) Purchaser may, in its sole discretion (and without any change in the Purchase Price),
add or delete Contracts to Schedule 1.1(a) at any time prior to Closing, subject to the terms of this Agreement and Seller represents
that it has disclosed to Purchaser all Executory Contracts of which it is aware (and will immediately notify Purchaser in writing if it
identifies any additional such Contracts); (iii) no later than ten (10) days prior to Closing, Purchaser shall in writing disclose to
Purchaser a list of all Post-Petition Contracts (and will supplement such list again one (1) day prior to Closing to identify any further
Post-Petition Contracts entered prior to Closing) so that Purchaser may elect to exclude any such Post-Petition Contract(s) as Acquired
Assets. In addition, immediately following the Effective Date, Seller will diligently cooperate with Purchaser to provide information
relevant to all Contracts of Seller, including Potential Assigned Contracts (including identifying such Contracts and any potential Cure
Costs and any other information pertaining to such agreements). Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Closing Date, Purchaser retains
the right (without providing any further sale consideration to the Seller or its bankruptcy estate) to assume and assign any Contracts
not previously listed on Schedule 1.1(a) on the Closing Date (and the Seller shall promptly file a motion to assume and assign
any such Contract to Purchaser upon request), provided that, subject to the obligation of the Seller to pay Cure Costs up to the Cure
Cap, Purchaser shall pay cash amounts that, pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, will be required to be paid as of the date
of such assignment and assumption to cure any monetary defaults on the part of Seller under any such additional assumed Contracts;
(b) No
later than three (3) days after entry of the Bidding Procedures Order, Seller shall file with the Bankruptcy Court, and cause notice (the
“Cure and Assignment Notice”) to be provided to all counterparties to Executory Contracts that may be among the Assigned
Contracts (the “Potential Assigned Contracts”), regarding the: (i) potential assumption and assignment to Purchaser
of all of such Contracts, except for any such Contracts which Purchaser previously has advised Seller in writing that it affirmatively
does not wish to assume, (ii) fixing of the Cure Costs associated with each Potential Assigned Contract as of the Closing Date (or as
of such later date reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Seller) and identifying the Seller’s proposed Cure Costs (if any) for
each such Contract; and (iii) setting a deadline of ten (10) days from the date of service of the Cure and Assignment Notice for such
Party to object to the assumption and assignment of its executory contract/lease with the Seller, to the Purchaser of the Acquired Assets,
or to the Cure Costs of any such Contract (the “Cure and Assignment Deadline”). Purchaser may insist that any such
objection be resolved in full prior to or in connection with the Sale Hearing. Seller shall consult with, and give due consideration to,
the views and concerns of, Purchaser prior to compromising or obtaining a decision of the Bankruptcy Court with respect to any Cure Costs
required to be made under the Bankruptcy Code to effectuate the assumption of any such Assigned Contract, including using commercially
reasonable efforts to provide three (3) days’ notice of any such compromise to Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary: (a) the Seller’s fixing of any Cure Costs (whether by compromise, adjudication or otherwise) shall not result in any obligation
of Purchaser to pay any Cure Costs arising on or prior to Closing except to the extent that such amounts exceed the Cure Cap; and (b)
the Purchaser shall direct Seller as to how much, and to whom, Seller should pay Cure Costs up to and including the Cure Cap.
(c) For
the purpose of determining whether a Contract of Seller shall be included as an Assigned Contract or an Excluded Asset, from and after
the filing of the Notice of Sale Hearing and Cure and Assignment Notice, all such Contracts shall be treated as follows:
(i) no
later than five (5) days prior to the Bid Deadline, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of those Executory Contracts which Purchaser
desires to be designated to be assumed by Seller and assigned to Purchaser on the Closing Date, subject to Purchaser’s right to
later remove or add such Contracts from the list of Assigned Contracts at any time prior to the Closing;
(ii) each
Post-Petition Contract shall be designated to be assigned to Purchaser, unless Purchaser notifies Seller in writing at any time prior
to the Closing that it will not take assignment of any such Contract, in which case such Contract shall not be assigned to Purchaser and
shall be deemed an Excluded Asset; and
(iii) notwithstanding
any of the foregoing, no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of any Contracts
which Purchaser elects, in its sole discretion, to add to the list of Assigned Contracts (subject to the counterparty’s right to
receive the Cure Costs associated with such contract(s)), or remove from the list of Assigned Contracts (which Contract(s) shall be Excluded
Assets and may be rejected by Seller);
(d)
Purchaser shall provide, with respect to any Contract designated to be assumed and assigned hereunder, such information or documentation
related to “adequate assurance of future performance” as shall be reasonably required in connection with the assumption and
assignment of such Contract, and upon Bankruptcy Court approval for the assumption and assignment thereof to Purchaser, any such Contract
so designated shall constitute an Acquired Asset hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, to the
extent that, prior to Closing, any Assigned Contract is not subject to an Order of the Bankruptcy Court with respect to the assumption
and assignment of such Assigned Contract, any Liabilities of Seller related to such Assigned Contract shall be the responsibility of Seller
until such Assigned Contract is either assumed by Seller and assigned to Purchaser or rejected by Seller;
(e)
No later than five (5) business days following Closing (or such earlier date(s) upon or following Closing as may be ordered by the Bankruptcy
Court), to the extent not previously paid, Seller shall pay any and all Cure Costs in respect of Assigned Contracts (as such payments
shall be directed by Purchaser) up to the Cure Cap with all other Cure Costs under Assigned Contracts to be paid by the Purchaser, provided,
however, that, at Closing, Seller shall fund an escrow account in the amount of the Cure Cap to be used to pay Cure Costs (as such payments
shall be directed by Purchaser). To the extent that any Contract that is being sold to Purchaser under this Agreement is not an Executory
Contract (regardless of whether such Contract is a Contract entered into prior to the Petition Date that is not subject to Section 365
of the Bankruptcy Code or such Contract is a Post-Petition Contract), Purchaser shall only be liable or responsible for any obligation
arising under such Contract to the extent that such Contract gives rise to an allowed post-Petition Date administrative expense priority
claim against the Seller and shall not otherwise assume or be liable for any other Liability arising under such Contract prior to Closing
(including any general unsecured claims arising under such Contract).
(f) Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed as an attempt by Seller to assign any Contract to the extent that such Contract is not assignable
under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise without the consent of the other party or parties thereto, and the consent of such other party
has not been given or received, as applicable. With respect to any Contract for which the consent of a party thereto to the assignment
thereof shall not have been obtained at Closing and any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, prior to the
Closing Date, if Purchaser (in its sole discretion) so elects, Seller and Purchaser shall use their reasonable good faith efforts to obtain
as expeditiously as possible the written consent of the other party or parties to such Contract necessary for the assignment thereof to
Purchaser. Unless and until any such consent, waiver, confirmation, novation or approval is obtained, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate
to establish an arrangement reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser under which Purchaser would obtain the claims, rights and
benefits and assume the corresponding Liabilities and obligations thereunder (including by means of any subcontracting, sublicensing or
subleasing arrangement) to the extent such Liabilities arise after the Closing. In such event, (i) Seller will hold in trust for and promptly
pay to Purchaser, when received, all moneys received by them under any such Contract or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder
and (ii) Purchaser will promptly pay, perform or discharge, when due, any and all obligations and Liabilities arising thereunder after
Closing, other than those being contested in good faith. Purchaser acknowledges that no adjustment to the Purchase Price shall be made
for any such Contracts that are not assigned and that Purchaser shall have no claim against Seller in respect of such unassigned Contracts.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of Purchaser’s rights (or remedies) under this Agreement to receive (or insist
upon receiving) an effective assignment of all of the Acquired Assets at, or as a condition of, Closing (including all Contracts to which
Purchaser has elected to acquire or take assignment) nor shall any Contracts covered by this paragraph be deemed to constitute Excluded
Assets solely by virtue of this paragraph. Seller’s obligations under this paragraph shall terminate on the date that is ninety
(90) days after the Closing Date; and
(g) Promptly
after the Closing, Purchaser shall file with the Bankruptcy Court a final list of Assigned Contracts.
Article II
Consideration; Payment; Closing
2.1 Consideration;
Payment.
(a) The
aggregate consideration (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid by Purchaser for the purchase of the Acquired Assets shall
be:
(i) the
assumption of Assumed Liabilities;
(ii) a
cash payment (the “Cash Payment”) of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), which Cash Payment will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar
basis by all amounts due, owing and chargeable to the Seller or its bankruptcy estate in connection with the debtor-in-possession loan
(the “DIP Loan”) provided, or to be provided, by Purchaser to Seller and approved by one or more orders of the Bankruptcy
Code (the “DIP Orders” and, together all agreements, term sheets, notes and other documents related to the DIP Loan,
the “DIP Loan Documents”), including all outstanding interest, fees, costs, charges and other amounts due from Seller
(or its bankruptcy estate) to Purchaser whatsoever under or in connection with the DIP Loan or the DIP Loan Documents (collectively, the
“DIP Obligations”), which DIP Loan will be in the maximum principal amount of $2,000,000. The Purchaser shall be permitted
and authorized to apply all DIP Obligations as one or more credit bids under section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code in connection
with any sale of the Acquired Business or any portion thereof (the “Credit Bid”), including as follows with respect
to the sale contemplated hereunder:
(A)
to the extent that, as of the date of the Auction, the amount of the then-outstanding DIP Obligations is less than $2,000,000, the Purchaser
shall be deemed to have submitted an initial Credit Bid in the amount of the then-existing amount of DIP Obligations pursuant to section
363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code (which Credit Bid amount shall apply to any subsequent bid it may make at the Auction), together with a
commitment to pay a Cash Payment for the balance of the Purchase Price at Closing;
(B)
to the extent that, as of the date of the Auction, the amount of the then-outstanding DIP Obligations exceeds $2,000,000, the Purchaser
shall be deemed to have submitted an initial Credit Bid of $2,000,000 for the purchase of the Acquired Assets pursuant to section 363(k)
of the Bankruptcy Code and shall be permitted to apply any outstanding DIP Obligations in excess of $2,000,000 as a Credit Bid (or Credit
Bid portion) to any subsequent bid it may later make at such Auction with respect to the Acquired Assets; and
(C)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Subsections 2.1(a)(ii)(A) and (B) of this Agreement: (a) the Purchaser shall not be required
to make any cash deposit prior to the Auction and shall, for all purposes relevant to this Agreement be deemed a Qualified Bidder at such
Auction (should it occur) without the need to provide any further information or assurances; and (b) at Closing, the Purchaser shall be
permitted to apply the actual amount of the DIP Obligations existing as of the Closing (or any portion thereof) as a Credit Bid against
the Purchase Price;
(iii) the
Milestone Payments (if any); and
(iv) Cure
Costs to the extent Cure Costs exceed the Cure Cap.
(b) If
the Closing does not occur, then the DIP Loan shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of the DIP Loan Documents. For the avoidance
of doubt, if some or all of the Acquired Assets are sold in an Alternative Transaction, the proceeds of the sale of the Acquired Assets
shall (except as otherwise agreed by Purchaser) first be used to satisfy any Expense Reimbursement owed to the Purchaser, and next to
satisfy the DIP Obligations owed to the Purchaser.
(c) At
the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Seller the Cash Payment (if any), after taking into account any deductions
to the Purchaser Price made through the application of the Purchaser’s ultimate Credit Bid (the “Closing Date Payment”).
The Closing Date Payment (if any) and any payment required to be made pursuant to any other provision hereof shall be made in cash by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as shall be designated in writing by the applicable Party at least two
(2) Business Days prior to the date such payment is to be made (provided that, to the extent such payment is received prior to Closing
it shall be held in escrow pending the Closing).
2.2 Closing.
The closing of the purchase and sale of the Acquired Assets, the delivery of the Purchase Price (if any) and the assumption of the Assumed
Liabilities (the “Closing” and, the date of such closing, the “Closing Date”) will take place by
telephone conference and electronic exchange of documents, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the second (2nd) Business Day following full
satisfaction or due waiver (by the Party entitled to the benefit of such condition) of the closing conditions set forth in Article VII
(other than conditions that by their terms or nature are to be satisfied at the Closing), or at such other place and time as the Parties
may agree.
2.3 Closing

(l) such

in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.5 (each, a “Milestone Payment”).
(b) Notice

2.5(c). Thereafter, Seller shall submit to Purchaser an invoice for the corresponding Milestone Payment and within ninety (90) Business

corresponding milestone events as follows:

Seller on a one-time only basis (for the first achievement of any Milestone set forth below), ninety (90) days after the end of the Annual
Net Sales Period upon which the aggregate Annual Net Sales of any HGEN Product sold by Purchaser, its Affiliates, successors, and its
sublicensees in any Territory for the first time reaches or exceeds the amounts set forth in the table below for any Annual Net Sales
Period (which annual periods shall commence on the first day of the first fiscal quarter following the Closing Date and run for successive

one time for each Milestone achieved, such that Purchaser’s maximum aggregate liability to Seller with respect to the achievement
of each of the below listed Milestones shall, respectively, be $1,000,000, $2,000,000, and $3,000,000 (with a maximum aggregate liability

whether any Milestone has been achieved.
Milestone |
Milestone Payment (U.S. Dollars) |
Upon the first occasion that aggregate Annual Net Sales for any HGEN Product in any Territory is greater than $100,000,000, provided such Annual Net Sales are achieved within five (5) years after the first day of the first full fiscal quarter following the Closing Date. |
$1,000,000 |

$2,000,000 |

HGEN Product to, exercise Commercially Reasonable Efforts to achieve the milestone events set forth in Section 2.5.
(f) Yearly
Reporting. With respect to each HGEN Product, within sixty (60) days following the end of each Annual Net Sales Period after the First
Commercial Sale of such HGEN Product, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a report containing the following information for the applicable
Annual Net Sales Period for each such HGEN Product:
(i) the
amount of gross sales of the HGEN Product during such Annual Net Sales Period (including identifying the dates such Annual Net Sales Period
began and ended);
(ii) an
itemized calculation of the Annual Net Sales showing any applicable deductions taken from gross sales for such Annual Net Sales Period;
(iii) a
calculation of the Milestone Payment due on such Annual Net Sales, if any; and
(iv)
a list of the types of HGEN Products sold.
(g)
Right to Accounting/Financial Audit.
| (i) | In addition to the reporting obligations of Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.5(f), Purchaser shall
maintain complete and accurate books and records regarding the Milestones set forth in Section 2.5(d). At the request of
Seller, no more than once each calendar year (following the end of any Annual Net Sales Period), Purchaser shall permit an independent
certified public accounting firm mutually and reasonably acceptable to both the Purchaser and the Seller (the “Auditor”),
at reasonable times and upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, to audit the books and records in the location where
such books and records are maintained, solely to confirm the accuracy of the Milestone Payments, if any, due hereunder in connection with
Section 2.5(d) of this Agreement. An audit of the milestones contained in Section 2.5(d) shall be conducted no more
than once each calendar year (an “Audit”), there shall be no more than one audit for any Annual Net Sales Period, and
Seller shall only be entitled to audit Purchaser’s books and records with regard to items and time periods not covered by a prior
Audit conducted by the Auditor (or another auditor approved by the Parties hereunder). |
| (ii) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not have any reporting obligation with respect to any HGEN
Product until after the First Commercial Sale of such HGEN Product. |
| (iii) | The Auditor will execute a written confidentiality agreement with the Purchaser and will disclose to Seller
only such information as is necessary to provide Seller with information regarding any discrepancies that the Auditor has concluded exist
between the amounts reported and actually paid and amounts the Auditor determines should be payable under this Agreement. The Auditor
will deliver to Seller and Purchaser an Audit report (an “Audit Report”) with respect to one more Annual Net Sales
Period(s). The Audit Report sent to both Parties will include the methodology and calculations used to determine the results.
The Seller shall bear the full cost of such audit, unless the Auditor concludes that Purchaser has underreported by more than $100,000
the payment obligations (if any) due to Seller for Milestones under this Agreement for the time periods covered by the Audit, in which
case the Purchaser shall bear the cost of the Audit. If such Audit concludes that (a) additional Milestone Payments were owed by
Purchaser, Purchaser shall pay the additional amounts, with interest from the date originally due at the rate of prime plus two percent,
or (b) excess payments were made by Purchaser, Seller shall reimburse such excess payments, with interest from the date originally due
at the rate of prime plus two percent, in either case ((a) or (b)), within sixty (60) days after the date on which the Auditor’s
Report is delivered to Purchaser. |
| (iv) | In the event of any dispute between the Parties (or their successors) with respect to this Section
2.5 (including any sub-parts hereof): (a) the Parties shall first confer to determine if they can resolve the dispute; and (b) in
the event of litigation regarding such dispute, the party prevailing in such litigation shall be entitled to receive from the non-prevailing
Party, costs and attorneys’ fees with respect to such litigation. |

3.7 No
Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties expressly made by Seller to Purchaser in this
Article III (as qualified by the Schedules and in accordance with the express terms and conditions (including limitations and exclusions)
of this Agreement) (the “Express Representations”) (it being understood that Purchaser has relied only on such Express
Representations), Purchaser acknowledges and agrees, that neither Seller nor any other Person on behalf of Seller makes, and neither
Purchaser nor any other Person on behalf of Purchaser has relied on, the accuracy or completeness of any express or implied representation
or warranty with respect to the Acquired Business (including the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities) or with respect to any
statement or information of any nature made or provided by any Person, any information, statements, disclosures, documents, projections,
forecasts or other material made available to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or Advisors in that certain datasite administered by
Seller (the “Dataroom”) or elsewhere, or Projections on behalf of Seller or any of its Affiliates or Advisors to Purchaser
or any of its Affiliates or Advisors. Without limiting the foregoing, neither Seller nor any other Person will have or be subject to
any liability whatsoever to Purchaser, or any other Person, resulting from the distribution to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or
Advisors, or Purchaser’s or any of its Affiliates’ or Advisors’ use of or reliance on, any such information, including

to Seller as follows as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date:
4.1 Organization
and Qualification. Purchaser (a) is an entity duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation, (b) has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties and to carry on its
businesses as now conducted and (c) is qualified to do business and is in good standing (or its equivalent) in every jurisdiction
in which its ownership of property or the conduct of its business as now conducted requires it to qualify, except where a Material Adverse

contained in this Section 4.1 or prevent or interfere with Purchaser’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby.

by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly and validly authorized by all requisite corporate action,
and no other corporate proceedings on its part are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement and
the Ancillary Agreements by Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Purchaser and, assuming this

Purchaser will have at the Closing, sufficient immediately available funds in an aggregate amount necessary to pay the Purchase Price

Seller shall file a motion (the “Sale Motion”) in form and substance acceptable to Purchaser seeking entry of Orders
approving the transactions set forth in this agreement (the “Sale Order”) and an Order (the “Bidding Procedures
Order”): (a) setting forth the deadlines, processes, and procedures that will be used to market and sell the Acquired
Assets, including the assumption and assignment of Assigned Contracts (the “Bid Procedures”); (b) requesting shortened
notice for the time for the Court to consider approval of the Sale Motion; (c) designating Purchaser as the “stalking horse”
purchaser for the Acquired Assets; and (d) approving the Bid Protections. Within twenty-three (23) days after the Petition Date, the Bankruptcy

deadline.
5.4 Bid

no less than 10% of the purchase price set forth in such bid as well as (i) evidence of the financial wherewithal of the bidder to pay
the full purchase price and otherwise operate the Acquired Business; (ii) evidence of the bidder’s prior experience owning/operating
comparable businesses or such other applicable experience; and (iii) confirmation by the bidder that it has acted in good faith in all
respects with regard to Seller, will continue to operate in good faith with respect to any bid on and/or proposed purchase of the Acquired
Assets, has not violated any confidentiality agreement with the Seller, whether executed by the bidder or anyone working for or on behalf
of the Bidder (c) in the event Seller receives a Qualified Competing Bid on or before the Bid Deadline, Seller shall hold an auction (the

entitled to attend the Auction no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Auction; (d) each bid must clearly set forth the purchase

Protections, and Expense Reimbursement. The Bidding Procedures Order shall provide that, in the event Purchaser is not declared the
winning bidder at the Auction and the Bankruptcy Court approves an Alternative Transaction, Seller shall be required to pay to Purchaser
the reasonable and documented expenses incurred by Purchaser prior to the conclusion of the Auction up to $100,000 (the “Expense
Reimbursement”). Subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Expense Reimbursement shall be an allowed administrative expense
claim against Seller’s bankruptcy estates pursuant to Sections 503(b), 507(a)(2), and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Bidding
Procedures Order shall also provide, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, in the event of an auction, for an initial overbid

(the “Minimum Subsequent Overbid Increments”, together with the Initial Overbid, and the Expense Reimbursement, the
“Bid Protections”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Expense Reimbursement shall constitute an allowed administrative
expense claim of the Purchaser upon the closing of an Alternative Transaction and, except as may be agreed by the Purchaser in writing,
shall be paid to Purchaser by Seller immediately following, or as part of the closing of, such Alternative Transaction and directly from
the cash proceeds of such transaction. No further or additional Order from the Bankruptcy Court shall be required to give effect to such
provisions relating to the terms of payment of the Expense Reimbursement, provided that nothing herein shall prevent or prejudice Purchaser
with respect to its right to seek relief from the Bankruptcy Court if it does not promptly receive the Expense Reimbursement upon or immediately
following the closing of the Alternative Transaction.
5.6
Marketing Process. Between the time the Sale Procedures Motion is filed and either (i) the date the Auction is held or (ii) in
the event no Qualified Competing Bid is submitted, the Bid Deadline, Seller may contact, through whatever means are reasonable, other
potential purchasers for the Acquired Assets and engage in discussions with such potential purchasers that would be higher and better
than reflected in this Agreement.

antitrust, environmental, successor, or transferee Liability, labor law, de facto merger, or substantial continuity, (f) find

purposes, among others, of (A) demonstrating that Purchaser is a “good faith” purchaser under section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy
Code and (B) establishing adequate assurance of future performance within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

6.2 Access
to Information.
(a) From
the Effective Date until the Closing (or the earlier termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII) (the “Interim
Period”), Seller shall provide Purchaser and its authorized Advisors with reasonable access and upon reasonable advance notice
and during regular business hours to the books and records of Seller and its Subsidiaries related to the Acquired Business (other than
to the extent related to the Excluded Assets and/or Excluded Liabilities), in order for Purchaser and its authorized Advisors to access
such information regarding the Acquired Business as Purchaser reasonably deems necessary in connection with effectuating the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; provided that (i) such access does not unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of
Seller and its Subsidiaries, (ii) such access will occur in such a manner as Seller reasonably determines to be appropriate to protect
the confidentiality of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) all requests for access will be directed to Ronald
Barliant or such other Person(s) as Seller may designate in writing from time to time, and (iv) nothing herein will require Seller

harm to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, (B) would require
Seller or any of its Subsidiaries to disclose any financial or proprietary information of or regarding the Affiliates of Seller (other
than the Subsidiaries of Seller) or otherwise disclose information regarding the Affiliates of Seller (other than the Subsidiaries of

extent possible without waiving or violating the applicable legal privilege or Law) notice to Purchaser that such access or information
is being so withheld and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such access or information in a way that would not risk
waiver of such legal privilege or applicable Law.
(b) Following
the Closing, so long as such access does not unreasonably interfere with Purchaser’s business operations, Purchaser shall permit
Seller’s employees, agents, counsel, and other professionals employed in the Bankruptcy Case, or otherwise retained by Seller, as
well as any successor-in-interest to Seller, including, but not limited, to a liquidating trustee, Chapter 7 trustee, or other successor
fiduciary, reasonable access to the financial and other books and records relating to the Acquired Assets or the Acquired Business (whether
in documentary or data form) for the purposes of facilitating the continuing administration of the Bankruptcy Case, preparing Tax Returns
or responding to Tax-related inquiries, and other such administrative activities, including the investigation and potential prosecution
of claims and causes of action, which access shall include the right of such professionals to copy, at Seller’s expense, such documents
and records as it may request in furtherance of the purposes described above. Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, move any or all of
the books and records relating to the Acquired Assets and/or the Acquired Business to a location of its designation; provided,
however, if Purchaser moves any such documents or records from their present location, Seller has the right to require Purchaser

but only to the extent Seller or any such professional (a) furnishes Purchaser with reasonably detailed written descriptions of the materials
to be so copied and (b) Seller advances to Purchaser the costs and expenses thereof. The Parties acknowledge that Seller shall have the

Acquired Business during regular business hours to assist Seller as set forth in this Section 6.2(b), provided again that
such access does not unreasonably interfere with Purchaser’s business operations. Purchaser shall not dispose of any such documents
and records except as may be consistent with applicable Law; provided further that Purchaser shall provide Seller with reasonable
advance written notice prior to the disposal of any such documents or records, together with the opportunity for Seller to preserve such
documents or records at Seller’s cost.

shall be permitted to contact any officer, manager, director, employee, customer, supplier, lessee, lessor, lender, noteholder or other
material business relation of Seller or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing with respect to Seller, its Subsidiaries, their business
or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with prior consent of the Special Committee of Humanigen, Inc. for each such contact
and such request shall not be unreasonably denied or withheld; provided, however, that Dr. Cameron Durrant shall be permitted to contact
any officer, manager, director, employee, customer, supplier, lessee, lessor, lender, noteholder or other material business relation of

business without the prior consent of Seller for each such contact.
(d) Following
the Effective Date, Purchaser and its authorized Advisors shall be permitted to review, inspect and make copies of any attorney-client,
work product and other legal privileges owned by or within the control of Seller (including all documents and records of Seller that are
entitled to, or were created under, any such privileges) that Purchaser requires to satisfy any obligation, requirement or demand from
any Government agency, or any documents, communications or records reasonably related to any other investigation or action by a Government

7.3 Conditions
Precedent to the Obligations of the Seller. The obligations of Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
are subject to the satisfaction (or to the extent permitted by Law, written waiver by Seller in its sole discretion), on or prior to the
Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:
(a) The
conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a)-(b) shall have been satisfied;
(b) Purchaser
shall have delivered to Seller those items set out in Section 2.4;
(c) the
representations and warranties made by Purchaser in Article IV shall be true and correct in all material respects (without
giving effect to any materiality or similar qualification contained therein), in each case as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing
Date, with the same force and effect as though all such representations and warranties had been made as of the Closing Date (other than
representations and warranties that by their terms address matters only as of another specified date, which shall be so true and correct
only as of such other specified date), except where the failure of such representations or warranties to be true and correct has not had,
and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; and
(d) Purchaser
shall have performed in all material respects all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by it under this Agreement
at or prior to the Closing.
7.4 Waiver
of Conditions. Upon the occurrence of the Closing, any condition set forth in this Article VII that was not satisfied
as of the Closing will be deemed to have been waived for all purposes by the Party having the benefit of such condition as of and after
the Closing, provided, however that nothing herein shall be deemed to waive or release either Party from their duty to perform any obligation
arising hereunder that is to be performed after the Closing. None of Purchaser or Seller may rely on the failure of any condition set
forth in this Article VII, as applicable, to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such Party’s breach of this
Agreement or its failure to use, as required by this Agreement, its reasonable best efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby.
Article VIII

would not be satisfied, including a breach of Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Closing; provided that (i) if such

will not be available to Purchaser at any time that Purchaser is in material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty hereunder
(excluding any breach caused by Seller’s breach);
(g) by
written notice from Seller to Purchaser, if all of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 have been
satisfied (and Seller is ready and able to satisfy any other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing)
or waived and Purchaser fails to complete the Closing by the Outside Date provided such Party giving written notice is not then in material
breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein;
(h) by
written notice from Purchaser to Seller, if all of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.3 have been

8.2 Effect
of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall become null
and void and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party or any of its partners, officers, directors or shareholders; provided
that this Section 8.2, Article X, and Seller’s obligations to pay the DIP Obligations, Bid Protections and
Expense Reimbursements shall survive any such termination; provided further that no termination will relieve either Party from
any liability for damages, losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) resulting from any willful breach
of this Agreement prior to the date of such termination (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will be deemed to include any failure by either
Party to consummate the Closing if and when it is obligated to do so hereunder).
Article IX
Taxes
9.1 Transfer
Taxes. Any sales, use, value-added, goods and services, registration, conveyancing, purchase, transfer, franchise, deed, fixed asset,
stamp, documentary, use or similar Taxes and recording charges which may be payable by reason of the sale of the Acquired Assets or the
assumption of the Assumed Liabilities under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Transfer Taxes”)
shall be borne and timely paid by Purchaser, but only to the extent not exempt under the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable to the transfer
of the Acquired Assets pursuant to this Agreement. Seller shall timely file any Tax Returns as may be required to comply with the provisions
of applicable Law in connection with the payment of such Transfer Taxes.
9.2 Allocation

forth on Schedule 9.2. Purchaser shall deliver such allocation to Seller within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date
for Seller’s review, comment and approval. Purchaser and Seller shall work together to jointly agree to the final allocation. Purchaser
and Seller will report, act and file Tax Returns (including, but not limited to, Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in all respects and
for all purposes consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation. The parties will not take any position (whether in audits, on any Tax
Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation unless required to do so by a “determination”
as defined in Section 1313 of the Tax Code. Seller shall provide Purchaser and Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of any information
required to be furnished to the Secretary of the Treasury under Tax Code Section 1060.

exemption certification) from any Governmental Body or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that
could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby); provided that the requesting
Party shall reimburse the other Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in satisfying the request.
Article X
Miscellaneous
10.1 Non-Survival
of Representations and Warranties and Certain Covenants. Each of the representations and warranties and the covenants and agreements
(to the extent such covenant or agreement contemplates or requires performance by such party prior to or at the Closing) of the Parties
set forth in this Agreement or in any other document contemplated hereby, or in any certificate delivered hereunder or thereunder, will
terminate effective immediately as of the Closing such that no claim for breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement,
detrimental reliance or other right or remedy (whether in contract, in tort or at law or in equity) may be brought with respect thereto
after the Closing. Each covenant and agreement that explicitly contemplates performance after the Closing, will, in each case and to such
extent, expressly survive the Closing in accordance with its terms, and nothing in this Section 10.1 will be deemed to limit
any rights or remedies of any Person for breach of any such surviving covenant or agreement. Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and
agree that the agreements contained in this Section 10.1 (a) require performance after the Closing to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable Law; and (b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and that, without the agreements
set forth in this Section 10.1, none of the Parties would enter into this Agreement.
10.2 Expenses.
Whether or not the Closing takes place, except as otherwise provided herein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, excepted as provided
in Section 5.5 and Section 8.2), all fees, costs and expenses (including fees, costs and expenses of Advisors) incurred
in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby, the performance of this Agreement and
the other agreements contemplated hereby and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will be paid by the

Section 9.1.

of the provisions of this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been given (a) when personally delivered, (b) when

Business Day), (c) the day following the day on which the same has been delivered prepaid to a reputable national overnight air courier
service or (d) the third (3rd) Business Day following the day on which the same is sent by certified or registered mail, postage
prepaid, in each case, to the respective party at the number, electronic mail address or street address, as applicable, set forth below,

10.4 Binding
Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon Purchaser and, subject to entry of the Sale Order, Seller and inure to the
benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, including any trustee or estate representative appointed

hereunder may be assigned or delegated without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Seller.
10.5 Amendment
and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement or the Schedules or exhibits hereto may be (a) amended only in a writing signed by
Purchaser and Seller or (b) waived only in a writing executed by the Person against which enforcement of such waiver is sought. No
waiver of any provision hereunder or any breach or default thereof will extend to or affect in any way any other provision or prior or
subsequent breach or default.
10.6 Third-Party
Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed
to give any Person other than the Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any
provision of this Agreement.
10.7 Non-Recourse.
(a) This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement may only
be brought against, the Persons that are expressly named as parties to this Agreement; and (b) except to the extent named as a party
to this Agreement, and then only to the extent of the specific obligations of such parties set forth in this Agreement, no past, present
or future shareholder, member, partner, manager, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, agent or Advisor of any party to this Agreement
will have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements
or other obligations or Liabilities of any of the parties to this Agreement or for any Action based upon, arising out of or related to
this Agreement.
10.8 Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law,
but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such provision
will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity in such jurisdiction, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement or in any other jurisdiction.
10.9 Construction.
The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule
of strict construction will be applied against any Person. The headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted
for convenience of reference only and will in no way restrict or otherwise modify any of the terms or provisions hereof.
10.10 Schedules;
Schedule Supplement.
(a) The
disclosure schedules to this Agreement (the “Schedules”) have been arranged for purposes of convenience in separately
numbered sections generally corresponding to the sections of this Agreement; provided that each section of the Schedules will be
deemed to incorporate by reference all information disclosed in any other section of the Schedules. Capitalized terms used in the Schedules
and not otherwise defined therein have the meanings given to them in this Agreement. The Parties agree that: (i) as of the Effective Date,
not all of the Schedules may be completed; (ii) the Seller shall cooperate with the Purchaser to provide all of the information necessary
for the Schedules to be prepared on an expedited basis and consistent with the deadlines set forth in this Agreement, so that all Schedules
may be finalized at Closing; and (iii) the final form of the Schedules shall be prepared in a form and substance acceptable to the Purchaser.
Any description of any agreement, document, instrument, plan, arrangement, or other item set forth on any Schedule is a summary only and
is qualified in its entirety by the terms of such agreement, document, instrument, plan, arrangement or item which terms will be deemed
disclosed for all purposes of this Agreement. The information contained in this Agreement, in the Schedules and exhibits hereto is disclosed
solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein will be deemed to be an admission by any Party to
any third party of any matter whatsoever, including any violation of Law or breach of contract
(b) With
respect to any matter arising, or of which Seller becomes aware, after the Seller has disclosed information to the Purchaser sufficient
to create any Schedule, Seller shall prepare a supplement or amendment to the relevant Schedules hereto (each a “Schedule Supplement”)
and deliver same to Purchaser and, in doing so, shall identify the nature of the change set forth in any such Schedule Supplement.
10.11 Complete
Agreement. This Agreement, and any other agreements expressly referred to herein, contains the entire agreement of the Parties respecting
the sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and supersedes
all prior understandings or agreements among the Parties (whether written or oral) respecting the sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets
and the Assumed Liabilities and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation
arises with respect to this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the execution version of this Agreement will control and prior drafts
of this Agreement and the documents referenced herein will not be considered or analyzed for any purpose (including in support of parole
evidence proffered by any Person in connection with this Agreement), will be deemed not to provide any evidence as to the meaning of the
provisions hereof or the intent of the Parties with respect hereto and will be deemed joint work product of the Parties.
10.12 Specific
Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy,
would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached,
including if any Party fails to take any action required of it hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
It is accordingly agreed that (a) the Parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable
relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 10.13
without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and
(b) the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and without that right, neither Seller nor Purchaser would have entered into this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any
Party pursuing an injunction or injunctions or other Order to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms
and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 10.12 will not be required to provide any bond or other security
in connection with any such Order. The remedies available to the Parties pursuant to this Section 10.12 will be in addition
to any other remedy to which they were entitled at law or in equity, and the election to pursue an injunction or specific performance
will not restrict, impair or otherwise limit either Party from seeking to collect or collecting damages. If, prior to the Outside Date
(or, if the Parties previously agreed that the Closing Date would occur on or within three (3) Business Days of the Closing Date, within
five (5) Business Days after the Outside Date), any Party brings any action, in each case in accordance with this Section 10.12,
to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other party, the Outside Date will automatically be
extended (y) for the period during which such action is pending, plus ten (10) Business Days, or (z) by such other time
period established by the court presiding over such action, as the case may be. In no event will this Section 10.12 be used,
alone or together with any other provision of this Agreement, to require Seller to remedy any breach of any representation or warranty
of Seller made herein.
10.13 Jurisdiction
and Exclusive Venue. Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any Action that may be based upon, arising out of or related to this
Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby brought by any other
Party or its successors or assigns will be brought and determined only in (a) the Bankruptcy Court and any federal court to which
an appeal from the Bankruptcy Court may be validly taken or (b) in the event the Bankruptcy Case is closed, or if the Bankruptcy
Court is unwilling or unable to hear such Action, in the District Court for the District of Delaware and any state court sitting in the
State of Delaware to which an appeal from the District Court for the District of Delaware may be validly taken (or, if the District Court
for the District of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of
Delaware) ((a) and (b), the “Chosen Courts”), and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such
Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Parties agrees not to commence
any Action relating thereto except in the Chosen Courts, other than Actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment,
decree or award rendered by any Chosen Court, and no party will file a motion to dismiss any Action filed in a Chosen Court on any jurisdictional
or venue-related grounds, including the doctrine of forum non-conveniens. The Parties irrevocably agree that venue would be proper
in any of the Chosen Courts, and hereby irrevocably waive any objection that any such court is an improper or inconvenient forum for the
resolution of such Action. Each of the Parties further irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process in the manner provided
for notices in Section 10.3. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to this agreement to serve process
in any other manner permitted by Law.
10.14 Governing
Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) Except
to the extent the mandatory provisions of the Bankruptcy Code apply, this Agreement, and any Action that may be based upon, arise out
of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby
will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements executed and
performed entirely within such State without regards to conflicts of law principles of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction
that would cause the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware to apply.
(b) EACH
PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE DOCUMENTS AND AGREEMENTS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY
AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND THEREFORE HEREBY WAIVES,
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED ON, ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY. EACH OF
THE PARTIES AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION WILL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT
MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE IRREVOCABLE
WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO ADVISOR OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS
IN THIS SECTION.
10.15 No
Right of Set-Off. Purchaser and its respective successors and permitted assigns, hereby waives any rights of set-off, netting, offset,
recoupment, or similar rights that Purchaser, or any of its respective successors and permitted assigns has or may have with respect to
the payment of the Purchase Price or any other payments to be made by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any other document or instrument
delivered by Purchaser in connection herewith, provided, however, that nothing in this section or in any other provision of this
Agreement shall in any way prevent, limit or restrict Purchaser’s right to submit one or more Credit Bids (up to, in Purchaser’s
discretion, the full amount of all DIP Obligations owing to Purchaser) to purchase the Acquired Assets in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.
10.16 Counterparts
and PDF. This Agreement and any other agreements referred to herein or therein, and any amendments hereto or thereto, may be executed
in multiple counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together
will constitute one and the same instrument. Any counterpart, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine, .PDF
or other electronic transmission, will be treated in all manner and respects as an original contract and will be considered to have the
same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. Minor variations in the form of the
signature page to this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement
or any such other document, will be disregarded in determining the effectiveness of such signature. At the request of any party hereto
or to any such contract, each other party hereto or thereto will re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties.
No party hereto or to any such contract will raise the use of a facsimile machine, .PDF or other electronic transmission to deliver a
signature or the fact that any signature or contract was transmitted or communicated through the use of facsimile machine, .PDF or other
electronic transmission as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.
10.17 Bulk
Sales Laws. The Parties intend that pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, the transfer of the Acquired Assets shall
be free and clear of any security interests in the Acquired Assets, including any liens or claims arising (or that would otherwise arise)
out of the bulk transfer laws, and the Parties shall take such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to so provide in the Sale Order.
In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives compliance by the Parties with the “bulk sales,” “bulk transfers”
or similar Laws and all other similar Laws in all applicable jurisdictions in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
10.18 Fiduciary
Obligations. Nothing in this Agreement, or any document related to the transactions contemplated hereby, will require Seller or Seller’s
board of directors, board of managers, directors, managers, officers or members, or other similar governing body or fiduciary, to take
any action, or to refrain from taking any action, to the extent inconsistent with applicable Law or its or their fiduciary obligations
under applicable Law.
10.19 Privileges.
Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way constitute a waiver or release or shall diminish any rights, if any, or ability of any third-party
(including Dr. Cameron Durrant) to seek or claim a privilege in any documents, communications, or records of Seller, nor to request
or seek access to, any documents, communications or records of the Seller, nor to claim or waive a privilege any third party (including
Dr. Cameron Durrant) may hold; nor shall anything in this Agreement prejudice the rights, if any, or constitute a waiver or release or
shall diminish any rights, if any, or ability of any third-party (including Dr. Cameron Durrant) to assert or claim that Seller does not
possess, exclusively or otherwise, a privilege in any documents, communications, or records. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the
Seller’s rights, if any, or ability to dispute or otherwise challenge with respect to any claim, request, or assertion by a third-party
(including Dr. Cameron Durrant) of the foregoing in this section 10.19 are reserved; and (ii) this section 10.19 shall survive Closing.
To the extent there are conflicts between this section and any other terms in this Agreement, this section 10.19 shall control.
