Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Stock Purchase Agreement
On August 7, 2023, Oramed
Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase
Agreement”), between the Company and Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”), pursuant to
which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Company will acquire certain securities of Scilex Holding Company
(“Scilex”) owned by the Seller, consisting of: (A) 59,726,737 shares of common stock of Scilex; provided, that the Seller
will provide the Company an option to purchase up to 2,259,058 additional shares of common stock of Scilex, which the Seller is currently
holding in abeyance on behalf of certain warrantholders of the Seller (the “Option Shares”), at an exercise price of $1.13
per Option Share, at such time(s) as such Option Shares become transferable; (B) 29,057,096 shares of Series A preferred stock of Scilex,
which shares constitute one fewer than all of the issued and outstanding Series A preferred stock of the Scilex; and (C) warrants exercisable
for 1,386,617 shares of common stock of Scilex in respect of public warrants, and warrants exercisable for 3,104,000 shares of common
stock of Scilex in respect of private placement warrants (collectively, the “Purchased Securities”) (such acquisition of the
Purchased Securities, the “Transaction”) for a total purchase price of $105,000,000 (excluding any additional amounts paid
by the Company in the future in respect of Option Shares). The consideration for the Transaction consists of a credit bid by the Company
on a dollar-for-dollar basis of the full amount of outstanding obligations as of the closing date under the Replacement DIP Facility (as
defined below, and which is between the Company and the Seller and its affiliated debtor, Scintilla Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Scintilla”
and together with the Seller, the “Debtors”)), with the remaining balance of the purchase price to be paid in cash by the
Company to the Seller.
Completion of the Transaction
is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary and certain other closing conditions, including (1) the approval of an amendment
to Scilex’s governance documents, (2) the grant of an irrevocable proxy and call option (with an exercise price of $1) with respect
to the one remaining share of Scilex Series A preferred stock retained by the Seller (or Seller shall have deposited such remaining preferred
share in a voting trust and named the Company as the trustee of such trust), (3) the grant of all of the Seller’s rights pursuant
to a certain stockholder agreement with respect to the Series A preferred stock of Scilex to the Company, (4) the entrance of an order
approving the Seller’s entry into the Stock Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions pursuant to Sections 105
and 363 of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101, et seq, as amended, (5) the expiration or early termination
of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (6) no Material Adverse Effect
(as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) having occurred and continuing, (7) no trigger event in Scilex’s governance documents
having occurred and the Purchased Securities shall represent at least a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of Scilex entitled to vote generally in an election of directors of Scilex, (8) the absence of any laws or court orders making the
Transaction illegal or otherwise prohibiting the Transaction, (9) entry by the Company and Scilex into a new registration rights agreement
that provides to the Company the same piggyback and demand registration rights as those currently provided to the Seller by Scilex, (10)
no event of default shall have occurred under the Replacement DIP Facility or the related order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such
facility, and (11) other customary closing conditions.
The
Stock Purchase Agreement provides for certain termination rights for both the Company and the Seller, including
by mutual written consent of the Company and Seller, by either the Seller or the Company in the event that the Transaction is not consummated
by September 30, 2023, by either the Seller or the Company if the other party fails to materially comply with any of its covenants or
materially breaches it representations and warranties and such failure or breach cannot be cured or is not cured within ten business days
of receipt of written notice of such failure or breach from the non-breaching party, or if any court or governmental authority shall have
issued a non-appealable order which permanently restrains, enjoins or prohibits the Transaction. The Stock Purchase Agreement is also
terminable by the Company (a) if the auction has not commenced on or before August 14, 2023 or if the sale order has not been entered
by the Bankruptcy Court by August 17, 2023, (b) if the Seller’s bankruptcy case is converted to chapter 7, or (c) if the Seller
materially breaches the Replacement DIP Facility or the Company is unable to credit bid in payment of the Replacement DIP Facility. The
Stock Purchase Agreement terminates automatically if the Seller (i) enters into a definitive agreement in an alternative transaction for
the Purchased Securities, (ii) withdraws the sale order motion, or (iii) announces or files a Plan of Reorganization or other transaction,
contemplating reorganization or sale of the Purchased Securities that does not comply with the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase
Agreement.
The Stock Purchase Agreement
provides that the Seller will be required to pay the Company a termination fee in the amount of $3,412,500 and expense reimbursement of
certain costs and expenses up to $1,000,000 for outside counsel (to the extent such costs and expenses are not paid under the Replacement
DIP Facility) upon termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms under certain circumstances and the Seller’s
consummation of an alternative transaction involving the sale, transfer or other disposition of any portion of the Purchased Securities
to a person other than the Company.
The Company has made customary
representations, warranties and covenants in the Stock Purchase Agreement, including, among other things, customary investor representations.
The Seller has also made certain representations, warranties and covenants, including, among other things, with respect to the Seller’s
title and ownership of the Purchased Securities and the business and operations of Scilex and its subsidiaries (the “Business”)
and covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Scilex and its subsidiaries to conduct the Business in the ordinary course
of business, consistent with past practice and to provide certain transition services to Scilex for up to 90 days following the closing
of the Stock Purchase Agreement. The parties have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary to consummate the
Transaction.
The Debtors are in Chapter
11 bankruptcy proceedings (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) pending before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”), which commenced on February 13, 2023. The Transaction is being conducted through a Bankruptcy
Court-supervised process pursuant to Bankruptcy Court-approved bidding procedures and is subject to the receipt of higher or otherwise
better offers from competing bidders at an auction (at which the Company may increase the total purchase price for the Transaction), a
further order from the Bankruptcy Court approving such sale before the Transaction may be consummated, and the satisfaction of certain
closing conditions (as discussed above). Accordingly, the Company can give no assurances of the outcome of the Transaction and whether
the Company will be successful in acquiring the Purchased Securities.
The foregoing description
of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Transaction does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by,
the full text of the Stock Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated into this report
by reference in its entirety. The Stock Purchase Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms.
It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or the Seller. In particular, the assertions embodied in
the representations and warranties contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules
that contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties and certain covenants set
forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Stock Purchase Agreement were used for
the purposes of allocating risk between the Company and the Seller rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, the representations
and warranties in the Stock Purchase Agreement should not be relied on as characterizations of the actual state of facts about the Company
or the Seller.
Replacement DIP Loan Agreement
On August 9, 2023, the Company
entered into the Senior Secured, Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement, by and among the Debtors, the Company
and the guarantors from time to time party thereto (the “Replacement DIP Loan Agreement” and, collectively with all other
documents evidencing the Replacement DIP Facility (as defined below), the “Replacement DIP Documents”), pursuant to which
the Company will provide to the Debtors a non-amortizing super-priority senior secured debtor-in-possession term loan financing facility
in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 (the “Replacement DIP Facility”). The Replacement DIP Facility proceeds will
be used (i) to refinance and pay in full the approximately $82,000,000 of obligations outstanding under the Debtors’ Senior Secured,
Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement, dated March 30, 2023 (the “Existing DIP Facility”), with
JMB Capital Partners Lending, LLC, approved by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to its Final Order (I) Authorizing the Debtors to (A) Obtain
Senior Secured Superpriority Postpetition Financing and (B) Use Cash Collateral, (II) Granting Liens and Providing Claims with Superpriority
Administrative Expense Status, (III) Modifying the Automatic Stay, and (IV) Granting Related Relief, dated March 30, 2023, (ii) for
working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Debtors (subject to an agreed budget (the “DIP Budget”) in connection
with the Replacement DIP Facility), and (iii) the payment of certain statutory fees and allowed professional fees incurred in the Chapter
11 Cases, bankruptcy-related expenses and fees, expenses, interest and other amounts payable under the Replacement DIP Facility.
The Replacement DIP Facility
is provided on substantially the same terms and conditions as those of the Existing DIP Facility, subject to, among other things, (a)
mutually agreed-upon permitted asset sales of DIP Collateral (as defined in the Existing DIP Facility), the proceeds of such asset sales
are included in the Replacement DIP Facility collateral package; (b) agreed-upon “stalking horse” bidder protections; (c)
agreed-upon milestones and other deadlines for, among other things, the auction, the sale hearing and the outside date for consummation
of the Transaction; (d) the DIP Budget; and (e) the Order (I) Authorizing the Debtors to (A) Obtain Replacement Senior Secured Superpriority
Postpetition Financing and (B) Use Cash Collateral, (II) Granting Liens and Providing Claims with Superpriority Administrative Expense
Status, (III) Modifying the Automatic Stay, (IV) Granting Stalking Horse Protections and (V) Granting Related Relief (the “DIP Order”).
On August 7, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered the DIP Order, approving the Debtors’ entry into the Replacement DIP Loan Agreement
and the “stalking horse” bidder protections, among other things.
The Replacement DIP Facility
bears interest at a per annum rate equal to 15%, payable in cash on the first day of each month in arrears (and a default interest rate
that shall accrue at an additional per annum rate of 3% plus the non-default interest, payable in cash on the first day of each month)
and other fees and charges as described in the Replacement DIP Documents. The Replacement DIP Facility is secured by first-priority liens
on substantially all of the Debtors’ assets, subject to certain enumerated exceptions.
The Replacement DIP Facility
matures on the earliest of: (i) October 15, 2023; (ii) the effective date of a plan of reorganization in the Chapter 11 Cases; (iii) the
consummation of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Collateral (as defined in the Replacement DIP Credit
Agreement) pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 363; (iv) the date of the acceleration of the Obligations in accordance with (and as defined in)
the Replacement DIP Credit Agreement; (v) the dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases or conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases into cases under
Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Code; (vi) the date of termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement or other definitive documentation
related to the subject matter thereof, solely in the event such termination results from a material breach of such documentation by any
Loan Party (as defined in the Replacement DIP Credit Agreement) or other seller thereunder; and (vii) the date on which a trigger event
in Scilex’s governance documents has occurred.
The Replacement DIP Credit
Agreement includes the following milestones:

AND
SORRENTO THERAPEUTICS, INC.
August 7, 2023
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
is made and entered into as of August 7, 2023 (this “Agreement”), between Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Purchaser”), on the one hand, and Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Seller”),
on the other hand. Purchaser and Seller are sometimes individually referred to in this Agreement as a “Party” and collectively
as the “Parties.”
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, on February
13, 2023, Seller and its wholly owned Subsidiary, Scintilla Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Scintilla”), commenced voluntary
proceedings under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court, which are being jointly administered under the caption In
re Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc., et al.;
WHEREAS, the Seller
desires to sell, convey, transfer, assign and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase and acquire from the Seller, those
securities of Scilex Holding Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), listed on Schedule I attached
hereto (the “Purchased Securities”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;
WHEREAS, the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”) will be consummated pursuant to and in accordance
with the Bid Procedures Order and the Sale Order (each as defined below), pursuant to Sections 105 and 363 of Title 11 of the United
States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101, et seq, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and the Transactions and
this Agreement are subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court;
NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements, covenants, representations and warranties set forth herein, and in order
to prescribe the terms and conditions of such purchase and sale, intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:
Pursuant to Section 363 of
the Bankruptcy Code and on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date (as defined below) and effective
as of the Effective Time (as defined below), the Seller shall sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Seller
the Purchased Securities listed on Schedule I attached hereto, free and clear of any Encumbrances or Liabilities. The aggregate
consideration for the Purchased Securities shall be $105,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which shall consist of: (i) a
credit bid, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, pursuant to section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code, in respect of the full amount of the
outstanding obligations under the Replacement DIP Facility as of the Closing Date (the “Credit Bid Amount”), and (ii)
the remaining balance to be paid in cash to the Seller (the “Cash Amount”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, the amount of Purchased Securities, Option Shares (as defined below) and Purchase Price per share shall be appropriately
adjusted in the event of any stock split, dividend, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction occurring prior to the
Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser will not assume any Liabilities, accounts payable, notes payable, expenses or other
obligations of Seller or its Affiliates.
(a) The
sale and purchase of the Purchased Securities shall be effected by the Seller delivering to the Purchaser on the Closing Date duly executed
certificates or other instruments evidencing the Purchased Securities with instruments of transfer reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser
attached (duly endorsed or otherwise in such form sufficient for transfer), against delivery by the Purchaser to the Seller of the Purchase
Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid by Purchaser to the Seller on the Closing Date in accordance with Section 1, with the Cash
Amount being paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to an account designated by the Seller to the Purchaser
no later than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
(b) The
Seller will notify the Company’s transfer agent of the proposed Closing Date, and the Seller and the Purchaser will deliver to the
Company or such transfer agent documentation reasonably requested by the Company or such transfer agent to effect the book-entry transfer
of the Purchased Securities by the Seller to the Purchaser. The Seller will instruct the Company and/or its transfer agent to transfer
the Purchased Securities to the Purchaser in a restricted book-entry position on the books of the transfer agent and register the Purchaser
as the registered owner of the Purchased Securities as of the Effective Time. Seller will cooperate with Purchaser and will use reasonable
best efforts to transfer the Purchased Securities in the manner preferred by Purchaser.
(c) The
closing of such sale and purchase of the Purchased Securities (the “Closing”) shall take place no later than the day
that is three Business Days following the date on which the conditions set forth in Section 6 have been satisfied or, to the extent
permitted, waived by the applicable Party in writing (other than conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing,
but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted, waiver of such conditions at or prior to the Closing), remotely by conference
call and electronic exchange of documentation, at 10:00 a.m. New York time, or by such other means or at such other date and time as the
Parties shall mutually agree (the date of the Closing, the “Closing Date” and the time of the Closing, the “Effective
Time”).
| 3. | REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER. |
The Seller represents and
warrants to the Purchaser, subject to such exceptions as are disclosed in the disclosure schedule (the “Seller Disclosure Schedule”)
delivered by the Seller to Purchaser concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and, in the case of any representations
or warranties regarding the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses (except for representations and warranties relating
to Seller’s ownership of the Purchased Securities), subject to (1) the Knowledge of Seller, and (2) any information contained, or
incorporated by reference, in any current, annual or quarterly report publicly filed with the SEC by the Company since January 1, 2020
and prior to the date hereof (the “Company’s Securities Filings”), other than information contained in any risk
factor or forward looking statement sections thereof, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows:
(a) Organization.
The Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
(b) Authority.
The Seller has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each of the transactions contemplated hereby,
and, upon entry and effectiveness of the Sale Order (as defined below), no other action will be necessary to authorize such execution,
delivery and performance. Subject to and assuming the entry and effectiveness of the Sale Order, this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms.
(c) No
Violation; Consents.
(i) No
consent, approval, authorization or order (each a “Consent”) of any federal, municipal, state, local or foreign governmental,
administrative, taxing or regulatory authority, department, agency, commission or body (including any court, arbitrator, or similar tribunal)
(each a “Governmental Authority”) having jurisdiction over the Seller is required for the execution, delivery or performance
by the Seller of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation the sale of the Purchased Securities, except for (A) the entry
of the Sale Order by the Bankruptcy Court (as defined below), (B) compliance with and a filing under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements
Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), and compliance with and filings and approvals under applicable Antitrust Laws

as have already been obtained or granted.
(ii)
Except to the extent excused by or unenforceable as a result of the Bankruptcy Case (as defined below) and except for the entry and effectiveness
of the Sale Order, neither the sale of the Purchased Securities nor the performance of the Seller’s obligations hereunder will violate,
conflict with, result in a breach or termination of, extinguish any material rights, or constitute a default (or an event that, with the
giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under (i) the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other
Organizational Documents of the Seller, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) any decree, judgment, order, law, treaty, rule, regulation
or determination of any Governmental Authority (“Laws”) having jurisdiction over the Seller, the Company, its Subsidiaries
or any of their respective assets or properties, or (iii) the terms of any Material Contract to which the Seller, the Company, or any
of the Company’s Subsidiaries is a party or to which any of the Seller’s, the Company’s, or any of the Company’s
Subsidiaries’ properties is subject, except in each case as would not reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing, materially
delaying, making illegal or otherwise materially interfering with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) Capitalization.
(i) As
of the date of this Agreement, the authorized and issued equity capitalization of the Company is as set forth in the Company’s Form
S-1/A, dated July 19, 2023, other than in respect of any options that may have been forfeited or awarded or any shares that may have been
issued upon the exercise of any options, warrants or other convertible securities in accordance with the terms thereof. All outstanding
equity securities of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, were not issued in
violation of any preemptive rights and were not issued in violation of any applicable Laws.
(ii) There
are no outstanding obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue, repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any (A) shares
of capital stock or other voting securities of the Company, (B) securities of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company convertible
or exercisable into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or voting securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries, (C) rights
or options to acquire from the Company or its Subsidiaries, or obligations of the Company or its Subsidiaries to issue, any shares of

Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, or (D) equity equivalent interests in the ownership or earnings of the Company or
its Subsidiaries or other similar rights (the items in clauses (A) through (D) collectively, “Company Securities”),
other than obligations to purchase, redeem, acquire or issue Company Securities upon the exercise of any options, warrants or other convertible
securities now outstanding in accordance with the terms thereof. Other than the Stockholder Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement,
there are no stockholder agreements, voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which the Company, any of its Subsidiaries,
or the Seller is a party or by which it is bound relating to the voting or registration of any shares of capital stock of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries or preemptive rights with respect thereto.
(iii) Since
March 31, 2023, the Company has not declared or paid any dividend or distribution in respect of any Company Securities, and neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company has issued, sold, repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired any amount of Company Securities,
and its board of directors has not authorized any of the foregoing, other than in respect of any options that may have been forfeited
or awarded and any shares that may have been issued upon the exercise of any options, warrants or other convertible securities in accordance
with the terms thereof.
(e) Title
to Purchased Securities. The Seller has good, valid and marketable title to the Purchased Securities, and, subject to receipt of the
Sale Order, good, valid and marketable title will be transferred to the Purchaser free and clear of any charge, lien (statutory or otherwise),
mortgage, lease, hypothecation, encumbrance, pledge, security interest, option, right of use, first offer or first refusal, voting trusts,
proxies, easement, servitude, restrictive covenant, encroachment or similar restriction, other than those imposed by the Securities Act
(each, an “Encumbrance”, and collectively, “Encumbrances”). The Purchased Securities, together with
the Remaining Preferred Share and the Option Shares, constitute all of the shares of capital stock of the Company (or options, warrants
or rights to purchase shares of capital stock of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock

other action required to be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and any applicable securities Laws in connection with the
Transactions.
(c) Further
Assurances.
(i) At
all times from and after the date of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, following the Closing), each of the Parties
shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably
necessary, proper or advisable consistent with applicable Laws or reasonably requested to satisfy the conditions to closing under this
Agreement and to consummate and make effective in the most expeditious manner practicable the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents.
(ii) From
the date hereof until the Closing, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company to cooperate (and from and after the

and Oishi Koseido Co., Ltd. (“Oishi”), on the other hand, regarding the continuation of, certain terms of and certain
historic matters with respect to, that certain Commercial Supply Agreement, dated as of February 16, 2017 (as amended, the “CSA”),
among the Company, Itochu, and Oishi, and that certain Product Development Agreement, dated as of May 11, 2011 (as amended, the “PDA”),
among the Company, Oishi, and Itochu.

accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreements, which shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of
this Agreement.
(f) Governmental
Authority Approvals and Cooperation.
(i) As
promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall (and shall cause their
respective Affiliates to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to make any filings and notifications, and to obtain any consents, approvals
and authorizations from Governmental Authorities (other than the Bankruptcy Court), required to be made and obtained under applicable
Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable.
(ii) Each
of the Seller and the Purchaser shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement (and, in any event, within
two Business Days), file with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the United States Department
of Justice (the “DOJ”) the notification and report form required to be filed with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby and any supplemental information requested in connection therewith pursuant to the HSR Act. Any such notification and report form
and supplemental information shall be in substantial compliance with the requirements of the HSR Act. Each of the Seller and the Purchaser
shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the
other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission which is necessary under the HSR Act. The
Seller and the Purchaser shall keep each other apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional
information from, the FTC and the DOJ. If such a filing is made, each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain any clearance required under the HSR Act for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as
reasonably practicable.
(iii) The
Seller and the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental
Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act, the Sherman Act, as amended, the Clayton
Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other applicable United States federal or state or foreign Laws
that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade (collectively,
the “Antitrust Laws”). Each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such
action as may be reasonably required to cause the expiration of the notice periods under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws with respect
to such transactions as promptly as possible after the execution of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the Purchaser shall have no obligation to (A) comply with any request, directions, determinations, requirements or conditions of the FTC,
DOJ or other Governmental Authority, (B) agree to requests or undertakings to divest or hold separate any of its existing assets or businesses,
(C) agree to other limitations or other requirements of the FTC, DOJ or other Governmental Authority with respect to the operation of
any of the Purchaser’s existing assets or businesses following the Closing, or (D) instigate or defend any proceeding or litigation
to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent,
that is in effect or comes into effect and that enjoins, restrains, prohibits or otherwise makes illegal the consummation of the Transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
(iv) Each
of the Seller and the Purchaser (A) shall cooperate with each other in connection with the filings and Consents contemplated by this Section

for Consent related thereto, and (C) shall permit each other Party to review in advance any proposed written communication or information
submitted to any such Governmental Authority (other than the Bankruptcy Court) in response thereto.
(v) In
addition, neither the Seller nor the Purchaser shall (and the Seller and the Purchaser shall ensure that their respective Affiliates do
not) agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority (other than the Bankruptcy Court) in respect of any filings,
investigation or other inquiry with respect to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or any such filing, notification or
request for Consent related thereto unless it consults with the other Parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by any such Governmental
Authority and applicable Law, gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate thereat, in each case to the maximum extent
practicable. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, furnish the Seller and the Purchaser
(and their respective representatives, as applicable), as the case may be, copies of all material correspondence, filings and communications
between it and its Affiliates (and their respective representatives, as applicable) on the one hand, and the Governmental Authority (other
than the Bankruptcy Court) or members of its staff on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby
or any such filing, notification or request for Consent related thereto (in each case, excluding documents and communications which are
subject to preexisting confidentiality agreements, to valuation assessments, or to the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine).
Each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) furnish each other Party with such necessary
information and assistance as such other Party and its Affiliates may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of necessary
filings, registrations or submissions of information to any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby and any such filing, notification or request for Consent related thereto.
(g) Tax
Matters.
(i) Cooperation
on Tax Matters. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party or the Company,
in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall
include the retention and (upon the Company or Purchaser’s reasonable request and expense) the provision of records and information
that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient
basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Seller agrees (A) to retain all books and
records in its possession with respect to Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the
Closing Date for up to seven (7) years, and (B) to give the Purchaser and the Company reasonable written notice prior to transferring,
destroying or discarding any such books and records and shall allow the Company or Purchaser to take possession of such books and records.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller shall not be required to share tax information or books and records with the Purchaser with respect
to the Seller or the Seller’s consolidated, combined, unitary or affiliated tax group, except to the extent there is an audit, litigation
or other proceeding with respect to the Seller’s income Taxes with respect to a taxable period for which the Company was a member
of the Seller’s consolidated, combined, unitary or affiliated tax group and the Company is reasonably expected to have liability
for all or a portion of any resulting Tax liability.
(ii) Purchaser
and Seller agree, upon reasonable request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from
any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
(iii) Transfer
Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges
and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and actually due and owing shall be borne and paid equally, 50% by the Purchaser and 50% by the Seller when due, and
the Parties will, each at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees
and charges, and, if required by applicable law, each Party will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such
Tax Returns and other documentation.
(h) Submission
for Bankruptcy Court Approval.
(i) The
Seller has given notice under the Bankruptcy Code of the request for the relief in the Sale Order to all Persons entitled to such notice,
including all Persons that have asserted Encumbrances in the Purchased Securities, and shall give such additional notice as the Bankruptcy
Court shall direct or as the Purchaser may reasonably request, and provide appropriate opportunity for hearing, to all parties entitled
thereto, of all motions, orders, hearings, or other proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby. The Seller shall be responsible for making all appropriate filings relating thereto with the Bankruptcy Court, which
filings shall be submitted, to the extent practicable, to the Purchaser prior to their filing with the Bankruptcy Court for the Purchaser’s
prior review and comments (which comments the Seller shall consider in good faith).
(ii) The
Seller and the Purchaser shall consult with one another regarding pleadings which any of them intends to file with the Bankruptcy Court
in connection with, or which might reasonably affect the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Sale Order. The Seller shall promptly
provide the Purchaser and its counsel with copies of all notices, filings and orders of the Bankruptcy Court that the Seller has in its
possession (or receives) pertaining to the motion for approval of the Sale Order or any other order related to any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, but only to the extent such papers are not publicly available on the Bankruptcy Court’s docket or
otherwise made available to the Purchaser and its counsel.
(iii) The
order approving the Stalking Horse Protections (the “Stalking Horse Protections Order”) shall be, in form and substance,
reasonably satisfactory to each of the Seller and the Purchaser and shall include, among others, the approval of the Breakup Fee and the
Expense Reimbursement as superpriority administrative expense claim in the Bankruptcy Case pursuant to Sections 503(b)(1) and 507(a)(2)
of the Bankruptcy Code.
(iv) The
Seller shall comply in all material respects with all of the obligations of Seller under the Sale Order (after the entry of such Order
by the Bankruptcy Court). The Sale Order shall in form and substance be reasonably satisfactory to each of the Seller and the Purchaser,
and shall, among other things: (A) approve, pursuant to Sections 105 and 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (1) the execution, delivery
and performance by the Seller of this Agreement, (2) the sale of the Purchased Securities to the Purchaser on the terms set forth herein
and free and clear of all Encumbrances and Liabilities, and (3) the performance by the Seller of its obligations under this Agreement;
(B) find that the Purchaser is a “good faith” buyer within the meaning of Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code and grant
the Purchaser the protections of Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code; (C) find that Purchaser has not violated Section 363(n) of
the Bankruptcy Code by any action or inaction; and (D) provide that none
of the Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives (in any capacity) shall take or support any action to prevent, interfere with
or otherwise enjoin or frustrate consummation or the purpose of the transactions contemplated in or by this Agreement or the Sale Order,
which cooperation covenant shall also be included in any order confirming any chapter 11 plan of the Seller. Each of the Seller and the
Purchaser agrees that such Party will promptly take such actions as are reasonably requested by the other Party to assist in obtaining
Bankruptcy Court approval of the Sale Order, including furnishing affidavits or other documents or information for filing with the Bankruptcy
Court for purposes, among others, of demonstrating that the Purchaser is a “good faith” purchaser under Section 363(m)
of the Bankruptcy Code.
(v) If
the Bid Procedures Order, the Stalking Horse Protections Order, the Sale Order or any other orders of the Bankruptcy Court relating to
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be appealed by any Person (or if any petition for certiorari or motion for
reconsideration, amendment, clarification, modification, vacation, stay, rehearing or reargument shall be filed with respect to the Bid
Procedures Order, the Stalking Horse Protections Order, the Sale Order or other such order), subject to rights otherwise arising from
this Agreement, the Seller and the Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to prosecute such appeal, petition or motion
and obtain an expedited resolution of any such appeal, petition or motion.
(i) Other Bids.
The Purchaser shall have the right, but no obligation, to bid against any competing bids and offers received pursuant to the Bid
Procedures Order. If any such competing bid or offer includes any assets that are not Purchased Securities under this Agreement, the
Seller shall cause such bidder or offeror to separate its bid or offer into separate bids or offers, one including only the
Purchased Securities and the other including only the assets other than the Purchased Securities.
(j) Stalking Horse Bidder
Matters.
(i) If
this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing: (A) pursuant to Section 7(f) or 7(g), or (B) by Purchaser pursuant to Section 7(b),
7(h), or 7(j) then the Seller shall pay in cash to Purchaser the Breakup Fee and the Expense Reimbursement, which shall
each be treated as an allowed superpriority administrative expense claim in the Bankruptcy Case pursuant to Sections 503(b)(1) and 507(a)(2)
of the Bankruptcy Code. The Breakup Fee and the Expense Reimbursement will be due and payable within one Business Day following the closing
of an Alternative Transaction, as applicable, without any further approval of the Court.
(ii) Purchaser
shall not be required to consummate the Transactions, to modify or amend its offer to purchase the Purchased Securities as set forth herein,
or to serve as a back-up bidder if the Purchaser is not the winning bidder at the Auction. If the Purchaser serves as a back-up bidder,
such role shall not modify, limit or in any way affect Purchaser’s rights, including its ability to terminate this Agreement pursuant
to Section 7 in any respect.
(k) Receipt of
Property Relating to Purchased Securities. If, following the Closing, the Seller (or its respective Affiliates or
Representatives) shall receive any money, check, note, draft, instrument, payment or other property as proceeds of the Purchased
Securities or any part thereof, and to the extent arising from any fact, event or circumstance after the Closing, each such Person
shall receive all such items in trust for, and as the sole and exclusive property of, Purchaser and, upon receipt thereof, shall
notify Purchaser in writing of such receipt and shall remit the same (or cause the same to be remitted) to Purchaser in the manner
reasonably specified by Purchaser.
(l) Post-Closing
Operation of the Seller; Name Changes. After the Closing Date, none of the Seller and any of its Affiliates shall use the name or
mark “Scilex” or any derivatives thereof for commercial purposes. After the Closing, the Seller and its Affiliates shall promptly
file with the applicable Governmental Authorities all documents reasonably necessary to delete from their names the words “Scilex”
or any derivatives thereof and shall do or cause to be done all other acts, including the payment of any fees required in connection therewith,
to cause such documents to become effective as promptly as reasonably practicable. For clarity, nothing in this Section 5(l) shall
restrict the Seller or any of its Affiliates from using or referencing the name or mark “Scilex” or any derivatives thereof
(i) in a non-trademark manner to describe or provide information regarding the history of the Purchased Securities, or (ii) as required
by applicable Law, including in any filing with the SEC, documents filed with the Bankruptcy Court or financial statements.
(m) Transition
Services.
(i) Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Section 5(m), the Seller will, for a period of up to 90 days following the Closing, provide
to the Company a continuation of those services that the Seller has provided to the Company at any time since December 1, 2022 (the “Transition
Services”), on the same terms and conditions (including cost) as previously provided between the Seller and the Company; provided
however, that:
(1) the
Seller shall have the right to make such changes to the Transition Services as are necessary in order to comply with applicable Laws or
Permits to which the Seller or its Affiliates is a party or subject;
(2) the
Seller shall not be responsible for any act or omission of a third party provider and the Company’s sole and exclusive remedy in
respect of such acts or omissions shall be the Seller’s use of commercially reasonable efforts to cause such third party to perform
or re-perform the Transition Services and/or to seek available remedies under the applicable Contract with such third party provider;
(3) nothing
contained in this Section 5(m) shall require the Seller to provide any services that would constitute the provision of any legal
or tax advice or regulated activity, or that would create deficiencies in the Seller’s controls over financial information or adversely
affect the maintenance of the Seller’s financial books and records; and
(4) in
no event shall the Seller be obligated to hire replacements for employees providing Transition Services that resign, retire or are terminated;
provided, however, that in such case, the Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the applicable Transition
Services.
(ii) The
aggregate liability of Seller in connection with the performance of the Transition Services shall not exceed the total fees actually paid
or payable by the Company to Seller in respect of the Transition Services. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary,
and solely with respect to the Transition Services, Seller shall not be liable for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages
which substantially arise out of, relate to or are a consequence of the performance of the Transition Services, except in the event of
the Seller’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud. Seller acknowledges and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in
the event that any of the provisions of this Section 5(m) were not performed by them in accordance with the terms hereof or were
otherwise breached and that the Company shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this
Section 5(m) and to enforce specifically the provisions of this Section 5(m) (without any requirement to post any bond or
other security in connection with seeking such relief), in addition to any other remedy at law or equity, and Seller further agrees not
to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches of this Section
5(m) by the Seller, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Section 5(m).
(iii) The
Purchaser may terminate all or any portion of the Transition Services before the expiration of such 90-day period, by delivering written
notice of such termination to the Seller.
(iv) Nothing
in this Section 5(m) shall grant or transfer any rights, title or interests in any Intellectual Property invented or created before,
on or after the Closing by or on behalf of the Seller or its Affiliates or otherwise controlled by or licensed to the Seller or its Affiliates.
(v) The
Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company to pay any applicable costs invoiced to the Company by the Seller within
30 days after receipt thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Seller in writing.
(n) Acknowledgement.
Each of the Seller and the Purchaser acknowledges and represents that: (i) sufficient consideration has been given by each Party to the
other Parties as it relates hereto and the covenants, obligations and agreements hereunder were taken into account in determining the
amount of such consideration; (ii) each of the Seller and the Purchaser has consulted with independent legal counsel regarding its rights
and obligations under this Section 5; (iii) each of the Seller and the Purchaser fully understands the terms and conditions contained
herein; (iv) the restrictions and agreements in this Section 5 are reasonable in all respects and, as applicable, necessary for
the protection of the Business and that, without such protection, the customer and client relationships and competitive advantage relating
to the Business would be materially adversely affected; and (v) the agreements in this Section 5 are an essential inducement
to each Party to enter into this Agreement and they are in addition to, rather than in lieu of, any similar or related covenants to which
either Party is party or by which it is bound.
(o) Information Statement.
(i) Prior
to the Closing:
(1) The
Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company to prepare and file (with the reasonable assistance and cooperation of the
Purchaser as is reasonably requested by the Seller or the Company) with the SEC, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, a written
information statement of the type contemplated by Rule 14c-2 of the Exchange Act containing (i) the information specified in Schedule
14C under the Exchange Act concerning the Transactions and (ii) the notice of action by written consent required by Section 228(e) of
the DGCL (including any amendment or supplement thereto or any additional filing required in accordance with this Section 5(o),
the “Information Statement”).
(2) The
Seller shall, and following the Closing, the Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company to, provide the other party
and their respective outside legal counsel and other Representatives a reasonable opportunity to participate in any discussions or meetings
with the SEC (or portions of any such discussions or meetings) that relate to the Information Statement. The Seller shall use reasonable
best efforts to cause the Company to promptly notify the Purchaser and the Seller of the receipt of any comments from the SEC with respect
to the Information Statement and of any request by the SEC for any amendment or supplement thereto or for additional information and to
promptly provide to the Purchaser copies of all correspondence between such Person and/or any of its Representatives and the SEC with
respect to the Information Statement. The Seller shall, and following the Closing, the Purchaser shall, use reasonable best efforts to
cause the Company to promptly provide responses to the SEC with respect to all comments received on the Information Statement from the
SEC, including by preparing any additional filings required by the SEC or pursuant to applicable Law, and, with respect to the Company,
to cause the definitive Information Statement (and any other such additional required filings) to be mailed (including by electronic delivery
if permitted) to the stockholders of the Company as promptly as possible after confirmation from the SEC that it will not review, or that
it has completed its review of, the Information Statement, which confirmation will be deemed to occur if the SEC has not affirmatively
notified the Company prior to the 10th day after making the initial filing of the preliminary Information Statement that the SEC will
or will not be reviewing the Information Statement.
(3) The
Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Information Statement to comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Seller shall, and following the Closing, the Purchaser shall, use reasonable
best efforts to cause the Company to, ensure that none of the information supplied by it for inclusion in the Information Statement will,
at the date of mailing (including by electronic delivery if permitted) to stockholders of the Company, contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that neither the Seller, the Company nor the Purchaser
shall assume any responsibility with respect to information supplied in writing by or on behalf of any other of the Seller, the Company
or the Purchaser, their respective Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives for inclusion or incorporation by reference in
the Information Statement.
(4) If
any information relating to the Company or any Party, or any of their respective Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives,
should be discovered by a Party or the Company, which information should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Information
Statement so that the Information Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the Purchaser or the Seller shall
(and the Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company to), as promptly as practicable following such discovery notify
the Parties and after such notification, as and to the extent required by applicable Law, and (i) the Seller shall use reasonable best
efforts to cause the Company to promptly prepare (with the reasonable assistance of the Purchaser as provided for in this Section 5(o))
an amendment or supplement to the Information Statement and (ii) the Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company to
cause the Information Statement as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to its stockholders. The
Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company to provide the Purchaser with the opportunity to review drafts of the Information
Statement and will consider in good faith any comments provided by the Purchaser in connection with such review.
(ii) Following
the Closing, the Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Purchaser and the Company with
respect to the Information Statement.
(p) Call
Option.
(i) The
Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from the Seller (the “Call Option”), all or part
of the 2,259,058 shares of common stock of the Company that the Seller is currently holding in abeyance on behalf of certain warrantholders
of the Seller (the “Option Shares”). If any Option Shares become no longer held by the Seller in abeyance and the Seller
can freely transfer such Option Shares to the Purchaser, then the Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser in writing (a “Call
Option Eligibility Notice”), which notice shall include the number of Option Shares that are available for purchase.
(ii) Upon
receipt of a Call Option Eligibility Notice, the Purchaser shall have a period of 30 days (the “Exercise Period”) to
elect to exercise the Call Option. The Purchaser may exercise the Call Option by delivering written notice to the Seller during the Exercise
Period (a “Call Option Notice”) specifying the number of such Option Shares that the Purchaser elects to purchase.
(iii) The
closing of the purchase and sale of such Option Shares (the “Call Option Closing”) shall take place no later than five
Business Days after receipt by the Seller of the Call Option Notice. The price per Option Share payable by the Purchaser at the Call Option
Closing shall be $1.13 per Option Share, payable in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated
by the Seller at least two Business Days prior to the Call Option Closing. The purchase and sale shall be documented in a stock purchase
agreement on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Seller; provided, however, that the Seller
shall only be required to give representations and warranties as to capacity, authority, no conflicts and title to the relevant Option
Shares being transferred.
(iv) If
the Call Option is exercised as to any Option Shares, the Seller shall convey, and the Purchaser shall receive, such Option Shares free
and clear of any Encumbrances or Liabilities, and such Option Shares shall be covered by the Sale Order.
(v) If
the Purchaser does not deliver a Call Option Notice within the Exercise Period, or if the Purchaser confirms in writing its intent not
to exercise the Call Option as to such Option Shares, the Call Option shall expire as to such Option Shares and this Section 5(p)

(h) Remedies.
The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific
terms or was otherwise breached and that monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach or threatened breach of any of
the provisions of this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent
breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and any such injunction shall be in
addition to any other remedy to which any Party is entitled, at law or in equity.
(i) Entire
Agreement; Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreements constitutes the entire understanding of the Parties
and supersedes all prior understandings among such Parties, including the non-binding term sheet, dated August 4, 2023, between the Parties.

of this Agreement may be waived in a writing signed by the party making such waiver.
(j) Counterparts.

but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterpart signature pages or counterparts of this Agreement
may be executed and delivered by electronic means (including in .pdf format sent by electronic mail) and other electronic signatures,
and the receiving party may rely on the receipt of such document so executed and delivered by electronic means as if the original had
been received.
(k) Severability.
If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy,
all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic
or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon a determination
that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in
good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable
manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
(l) Mutual
Drafting. The Parties participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the language used in this Agreement
shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation
arises, then this Agreement will accordingly be construed as drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will
arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
(m) Rules
of Construction. The words “hereby,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and words of
similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole (including any Exhibits and Schedules hereto) and not merely to the specific section,
paragraph or clause in which such word appears. All references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be deemed
references to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require.
The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without
limitation.” When calculating periods of time under this Agreement, reference to a “day” or “days” shall
refer to a calendar day unless otherwise expressly provided herein. The definitions given for terms in this Agreement shall apply
equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include
the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all references to “dollars”
or “$” shall be deemed references to the lawful money of the United States of America. The use of “or” is
not intended to be exclusive unless expressly indicated otherwise.

the effect of any change occurring after the Effective Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision
(or if the Lender notifies the Administrative Borrower that the Lender requests an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose),

affected by such change in GAAP with the intent of having the respective positions of the Lender and the Administrative Borrower after

In
the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.3(b) and any other provision contained in any
other Loan Document (except for the DIP Order), it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed,
to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be

in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection with the incurrence of such Indebtedness plus

otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2.4
Interest Rates and Rates, Payments and Calculations.
(a) Interest
Rate. Except as provided in Section 2.4(b), all Loans shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a rate equal to
fifteen percent (15.00%) per annum. For the purpose of calculating interest under this Section 2.4(a), the Daily Balance shall
exclude accrued but unpaid interest due or owing hereunder.
(b) Default
Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all Obligations shall bear interest on the Daily Balance
thereof at a per annum rate equal to three percent (3.00%) plus the then applicable interest rate (the “Default Rate”),
and the Default Rate may be applied retroactively to the date of the occurrences of the related Event of Default. For the purpose of
calculating interest under this Section 2.4(b), the Daily Balance shall exclude accrued but unpaid interest due or owing hereunder.
(c) Payment.
Except to the extent provided to the contrary herein, interest, all Fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents,
and all costs, expenses, and Lender Expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, shall be due and payable, in
arrears, on the first (1st) day of each month at any time that Obligations or the Loans are outstanding and shall be paid
to the Payment Account, subject to the procedures set forth in the DIP Order (to the extent applicable). Each Borrower agrees that the
Lender have all rights of setoff and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law on account of any accounts maintained at the Lender,
and in addition thereto, each Borrower agrees that at any time any Event of Default exists, upon prior notice to the Administrative Borrower,
the Lender may apply all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Borrower then or thereafter with the Lender to the payment
of any Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, whether or not then due.
(d) Computation.
All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed based on a 360-day year, in each case, for the actual number
of days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue.
(e) Intent
to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other
amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall,
in a final determination, deem applicable. The Borrowers and the Lender, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to
agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided that, anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law,
then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrowers are and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum as
allowed by law, and payment received from the Borrowers in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce
the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess.
2.5
Crediting Payments; Clearance Charge. The receipt of any payment item by the Lender shall not be considered a payment on
account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available funds made to the Payment Account or unless and until such
payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrowers
shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly.
2.6
[Reserved].
2.7 Statements

evidencing the Indebtedness and other Obligations owed by the Borrowers to the Lender, in which the Lender will record (i) the amount

Separate Obligation. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, in providing benefits to the Borrowers, the Lender is
relying upon the enforceability of this Article 7 and the Guaranteed Obligations. The fact that the guaranty is set forth in this

Liability of Guarantors. The liability of each Guarantor under this Article 7 shall be irrevocable, absolute, independent
and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstance that might constitute a discharge of a surety or Guarantor other than

the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:
(a) such
Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be the immediate, direct, and primary obligation of such Guarantor and shall not be contingent
upon the Lender’s exercise or enforcement of any remedy it may have against the Borrowers or any other Person, or against any Collateral
or any security for any Guaranteed Obligations;
(b) this
guarantee is a guaranty of payment when due and not merely of collectability;
(c) such
Guarantor’s payment of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge such
Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations remaining unsatisfied; and
(d) such
Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall
not be impaired or affected by, nor shall such Guarantor be exonerated or discharged by, any of the following events:
(i) any
proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code (except to the extent set forth in Section 7.3);

limitation, discharge, or cessation of the liability of any Borrower or any other Person for any Guaranteed Obligations due to any applicable
law, or any invalidity or unenforceability in whole or in part of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan Documents;
(iii) any
merger, acquisition, consolidation or change in structure of any Borrower, any Subsidiary thereof or any other Guarantor or Person, or
any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any or all of the assets of any Borrower or any other Person;
(iv) any
assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of the Lender’s interests in and rights under this Agreement (including this
Section 7) or the other Loan Documents;
(v) any
claim, defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than that of prior performance, that Borrowers, such Guarantor, any other Guarantor or
any other Person may have or assert, including any defense of incapacity or lack of corporate or other authority to execute any of the
Loan Documents;
(vi) the
amendment, modification, renewal, extension, cancellation or surrender of any Loan Document or any Guaranteed Obligations; or (vii) the
Lender’s exercise or non-exercise of any power, right or remedy with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations.
7.5
Consents of Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally consents and agrees that, without notice to or further assent
from such Guarantor:
(a) the
principal amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or decreased and additional indebtedness or obligations of Borrowers
under the Loan Documents may be incurred and the time, manner, place or terms of any payment under any Loan Document may be extended
or changed, by one or more amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of any Loan Document or otherwise;
(b) the
time for Borrowers’ (or any other Person’s) performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part
to be performed or observed under any Loan Document may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure
from such performance or compliance consented to, all in such manner and upon such terms as the Lender may deem proper;
(c) the
Lender may request and accept other guaranties and may take and hold security as collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, and may,
from time to time, in whole or in part, exchange, sell, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend
such other guaranties or security and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action, and may apply such security
and direct the order or manner of sale thereof; and
(d) the
Lender may exercise, or waive or otherwise refrain from exercising, any other right, remedy, power or privilege even if the exercise
thereof affects or eliminates any right of subrogation or any other right of such Guarantor against any Borrower.
7.6
Guarantor’s Waivers. Each Guarantor waives and agrees not to assert:
(a) any
defense arising by reason of any lack of corporate or other authority or any other defense of any Borrower, such Guarantor or any other
Person;
(b) any
and all notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty, and any and all notice of the creation, renewal, modification, extension or accrual
of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted, incurred and
permitted to exist in reliance upon this Guaranty. Each Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment,
notice of default, dishonor or nonpayment and all other notices to or upon any Borrower, each Guarantor or any other Person with respect
to the Guaranteed Obligations;
(c) any
right, including but not limited to under Sections 2845 or 2850 of the California Civil Code (the “CCC”), to
require Lender to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which Lender has or may have against, any Borrower or
any other Loan Party or any third party or against any Collateral for the Obligations;
(d) (i)
any right to assert against Lender any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim or claim which such Guarantor may now or at
any time hereafter have against any Borrower or any other party liable to Lender, including, without limitation under Sections 2787
through 2855, 2899, and 3433; (ii) any defense, set-off, counterclaim or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly
from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Obligations or any security therefor;
(iii) any defense such Guarantor has to performance under this Guaranty, and any right Guarantor has to be exonerated, under Sections
2819, 2822, or 2825 of the CCC, or otherwise, arising by reason of the impairment or suspension of Lender’s rights or remedies
against any Borrower, the alteration or modification by Lender of any of the Obligations of any Borrower, any discharge or release of
any of the Obligations to Lender by operation of law as a result of Lender’s intervention or omission, or the acceptance by Lender
of anything in partial satisfaction of any of the Obligations; (iv) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s
liability under this Guaranty or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations
applicable to the Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such
Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty; and

defense arising by reason of or deriving from (i) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender, including but not

laws of the State of New York. This Section 7.6 is included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed

Rights and Remedies. (a)
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and notwithstanding Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and without

in this Section 8.2, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including

set forth in the DIP Order, to the requirement for a Remedies Notice, Stay Relief Hearing and the expiration of the Remedies Notice Period:
(i)
declare the Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any of the other Loan Documents, due and payable, and the Commitment
terminated, in each case upon the expiration of the Remedies Notice Period, whereupon the Obligations shall become and be immediately
due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Borrowers;
(ii)
terminate, restrict or reduce any Borrower’s ability to use Cash Collateral other than to pay expenses set forth in the Approved
Budget that are necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable harm to the Borrowers’ estates; provided, however, that
the Professional Fees and expenses of the Borrowers’ and the Bankruptcy Committees’ professionals shall be governed by the
DIP Order;
(iii)
charge interest at the Default Rate;
(iv)
upon five (5) days’ prior written notice (which period shall be deemed to be reasonable notice) to the Administrative Borrower,
in accordance with the terms hereof, and the United States Trustee and lead counsel for any creditors’ committee, obtain and liquidate
the Collateral. If notice of disposition of Collateral is required by law, ten (10) days prior notice by the Lender to the Administrative
Borrower designating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of
Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and shall constitute “authenticated notice of disposition”
within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC, and the Borrowers waive any other notice. The Lender may bid for and purchase the Collateral
at any public sale. The Lender may bid and purchase any Collateral at a private sale if the Collateral in question has a readily ascertainable
market value;
(v)
require the Borrowers to assemble all of the Collateral constituting personal property without judicial process pursuant to Section 9-609
of the UCC; and
(vi)
exercise any of its other rights under the Loan Documents, any rights granted under the DIP Order and applicable law.
(b)
Subject to the terms of the DIP Order, to the extent an Event of Default occurs as a result of the Borrowers failure to indefeasibly
satisfy the Obligations in full by the Maturity Date, the Borrowers waive any right (i) to any notice period set forth in this Section
8.2 (except to the extent a notice period is required by operation of law) and (i) to challenge (x) whether or not the Maturity Date
or an Event of Default has occurred, (y) the Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies against the Collateral, including without
limitation, any foreclosure through a state court proceeding, and (z) the applicability of the Default Rate.
8.3
Application of Proceeds upon Event of Default. The
Lender shall apply the cash proceeds actually received from any foreclosure sale, other disposition of the Collateral upon an Event of
Default as follows: (i) first, to fund the Carve Out (to the extent not fully funded by the Borrowers at such time), (ii) thereafter,
as set forth in Section 2.3(b) hereof.
8.4
Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Lender
under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. The Lender shall have all other rights
and remedies not inconsistent herewith or with the DIP Order, as provided under the UCC, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Lender
of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Lender of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing
waiver. No delay by the Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.
8.5
Acknowledgments.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Lender acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall an “event of default” or “default”
under any Indebtedness of any Borrower (other than the Indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), cause
a Default or Event of Default hereunder, or cause a breach of any covenant described in Article 5 or Article 6 of this
Agreement.

9.1
Super-priority Claims; Subordination in favor of the Lender Liens.

to and subordinate to (w) the Advisor Transaction Fees, (x) the Carve Out, (y) the Junior DIP Accounts Liens (as defined in the

subsequent to the Petition Date to the extent permitted by section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code); and
(ii)
shall be, pursuant to Section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, secured by valid, enforceable, non-avoidable and perfected and automatic

hereof, as to which Liens are described in such Section) (the forgoing lien priorities set forth in clauses (ii) - (iii) shall be
referred to herein as the “Required Lien Priority”).
(b)
In the event any assets or property is transferred to any Borrower, such asset or property shall be subject in all respects to the Lender’s
Liens (other than assets or property constituting Excluded Assets).
(c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above with respect to the Carve Out, nothing herein shall be construed to impair the
ability of the Lender to object to the fees, expenses, reimbursement or compensation described in clauses (iii) or (iv) of the defined
term “Carve Out” on any grounds.
(d)
The Super-priority Claims referred to in this Section 9.1 shall have the priority afforded to such Super-priority Claims in the

interest and Lien, in accordance with the Required Lien Priority, on such Borrower’s respective interests in the Collateral pursuant
to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b)
Subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, upon (i) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and (ii) the filing of the necessary
financing statements and other appropriate filings or recordations and/or delivery of any necessary certificates, as applicable, the
Lender will have a good, valid and perfected Lien and security interest in the Collateral granted by the applicable Borrower, in accordance
with the Required Lien Priority, subject to no transfer or other restrictions or Liens of any kind in favor of any other Person, except

due, at the expense, for the account and at the sole risk of the applicable Borrower.
9.5
Filing of Financing Statements. The Borrowers irrevocably
authorizes the Lender to prepare and file financing statements provided for by the UCC, including, without limitation, describing such
property as “all assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, developed or created” or words of similar effect, to perfect

filing is appropriate. The Borrowers also irrevocably authorizes the Lender to file such continuation statements and amendments and to
take such other action as may be required or appropriate, in either case in the Lender’s sole judgment, in order to perfect and
to continue the perfection of the Lender’s security interests in the Collateral, unless prohibited by law.
9.6
No Discharge; Survival of Claims. Pursuant to Section 1141(d)(4)
of the Bankruptcy Code, the Borrowers hereby waive any discharge of the Obligations with respect to any plan of reorganization that shall
not provide for the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations under this Agreement, unless the Lender, in its sole discretion,
has otherwise agreed in writing to such treatment.

responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the Collateral, (ii) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion
from any cause, (iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding
agency, or other Person. All risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by the Borrowers, except any thereof
resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Lender as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
10.3
Indemnification. The Loan Parties shall pay, indemnify,
defend, and hold the Lender Related Persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted
by law) for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses, penalties, fined, actions, judgment, and disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever (including reasonable and documented out of pocket fees and disbursements of experts, consultants and counsel) incurred
by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution and delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration
(including any restructuring or workout with respect hereto) of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or the monitoring of the Borrowers’ compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents, (b) with respect
to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the

an act or omission of the Loan Parties and that is brought by an Indemnified Person against another Indemnified Person (other than claims
against an Indemnified Person in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Lender under the Loan Documents). This provision shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective
as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by
facsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure
to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The
foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.
14.7
Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations.
If
the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by Borrowers or the transfer to the Lender of any property should for any reason subsequently
be asserted, or declared, to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions
of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers
of property (each, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if the Lender is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part,
any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or
the amount thereof that the Lender is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs,
expenses, and attorneys’ fees of the Lender related thereto, the liability of Borrowers automatically shall be revived, reinstated,
and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.
14.8
Lender Expenses.
The
Loan Parties agree to pay any and all Lender Expenses promptly after written demand therefor by the Lender (subject to the procedures
set forth in the DIP Order) and that such Obligations shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all other Obligations.
14.9
Integration.
This
Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.
15.
JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. In addition
to, and without limiting any term or provision of, THIS AGREEMENT, all Obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents of each Borrower
are joint and several. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Obligations of each BORROWER
shall not be affected by (i) the failure
of the LENDER to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any other Borrower under the provisions
of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from
any of the terms or provisions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in,
or the release of, any of the Collateral or other security held by THE LENDER.
| 16. | ADDITIONAL
LOAN PARTIES. |
In
the event a Loan Party is added to this Agreement as required hereunder, all references herein to Borrowers (other than Loans made to
Borrowers) shall also apply to any such additional Loan Party, including, without limitation, the granting of a security interest in
the Collateral and all representations, warranties, covenants and other obligations of Borrowers hereunder.
| 17. | TREATMENT
OF CERTAIN INFORMATION. |
The
Lender agrees to treat as confidential all non-public information supplied by the Borrowers or any of other Loan Parties pursuant to
the Loan Documents or otherwise in connection herewith (“Information”) and to use reasonable precautions to maintain
such confidentiality, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information of the same nature; provided,
however that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such Information (i) to any Lender Related Person as need to know

counterpart thereof, (iv) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or
proceeding relating to the Loan Document or the enforcement of rights thereunder, (v) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement, (B) becomes available to the Lender or such Lender on a confidential
basis from a source other than the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties, or (C) was available to the Lender on a non-confidential basis
prior its disclosure to it by the Borrowers, any other Loan Party, or any of their advisors, and (vi) to the extent the Borrowers shall
