AGREED TERMS
2.Definitions and Interpretation
1.2Unless otherwise defined, capitalsed terms used in this deed shall have the meaning given to them in the SPA. The following words and expressions shall have the following meanings unless the context requires otherwise:
"Fundamental Warranty Claim" means a Claim for breach of a Fundamental Warranty; and
"Ordinary Shares" means ordinary shares of £0.0001 each in the capital of the Company;
"Title and Capacity Warranty Claim" means a Claim for breach of a Title and Capacity Warranty; and
"Warrant Instrument" has the meaning given to it in clause 3.1(a).
1.3The provisions of clause 1.2 of the SPA shall apply to this deed mutatis mutandis.
2.Purpose and Legal Effect
2.1This deed constitutes a binding waiver and variation of certain rights of the Relevant Sellers under the SPA. The parties agree that the execution of this deed constitutes a waiver of rights for the purposes of clause 15.3 of the SPA.
2.2Except as expressly modified by this Deed, all provisions of the SPA remain in full force and effect.
3.1As conditions precedent to the entry into force of this Deed:
(a)the Buyer shall duly execute and deliver to each Relevant Seller a warrant instrument in the agreed form (each a "Warrant Instrument"); and
(b)each Relevant Seller shall duly execute and deliver to the Buyer the Warrant Instrument to which it is party.
3.2This Deed shall come into force on the date on which the last of the conditions precedent has been satisfied (the “Effective Date”). The parties acknowledge that each Warrant Instrument is entered into as a deliverable pursuant to this Deed.
3.3Each party shall do, or procure to be done, all such further acts and things, and shall execute or procure the execution of all such further documents, as may reasonably be required to give full effect to this clause 3.
4.1Subject to clause 4.2, and with effect from the Effective Date, the Buyer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases, waives and forever discharges each Seller (for itself and on behalf of its respective successors and assigns) from any and all Claims, arising out of or in connection with the SPA including, but not limited to, any and all:
(c)claims pursuant to or in connection with clause 7 of the SPA
(whether present or future, actual or contingent, and whether known or unknown as at the date of this Deed) which the Buyer has or may have against any Seller, and the Buyer agrees that it shall not rely on any matter which would give rise to a claim within the scope of this clause 4.1 as constituting a set-off against any liability it may have to any Seller;
4.2Clause 4.1 shall not apply to, and nothing in this Deed shall operate to release, discharge, limit or waive, any Claim to the extent it constitutes or arises from:
(a)a Fundamental Warranty Claim;
(b)a Title and Capacity Warranty Claim;
(c)any Claim for breach of warranty 4.9 (Transactions with the Sellers, Directors and their respective Associates); and/or
(d)any Claim arising in connection with, or from, the fraud, dishonesty or wilful misconduct of any Seller.
4.3The parties acknowledge and agree that, with effect from the Effective Date the RCC Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in clause 11 of the SPA) shall be reduced to the extent of, and shall not extend to, any obligation or liability of Regulus that has been released, waived or discharged pursuant to this Deed (including any obligation released pursuant to clause 4.1 of this Deed insofar as it relates to Regulus). For the purposes of the SPA, with effect from the Effective Date, the term "RCC Guaranteed Obligations" shall refer to the due and punctual performance and observance by Regulus of all its obligations, commitments, undertakings and warranties under or pursuant to the SPA as modified by this Deed.
4.4The parties acknowledge and agree that the release granted by the Buyer pursuant to clause 4.1 is intended to take effect for the benefit of each and every Seller (as defined in the SPA), including any Seller who is not a party to this Deed (each such Seller, a "Non-Party Seller"), it being the common intention of the parties that each Non-Party Seller shall have the full benefit of the release set out in clause 4.1 to the same extent as if it were a party to this Deed.
5.Waiver and variation of rights
5.1Each Relevant Seller hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, in favour of the Buyer, its right to receive its Agreed Warranty Retention Proportion of the Warranty Retention Sum in the following amounts:
(c)Regulus: US$2,121,290; and
(each a "Waived Amount" and together, the "Waived Amounts").
5.2The parties acknowledge and agree that the Waived Amounts shall be deducted from the amounts that would otherwise be payable to the Relevant Sellers pursuant to clauses 9.5(a) and 9.5(b) and 9.5(c) of the SPA as follows:
(a)50% of each Waived Amount in respect of each Relevant Seller will be deducted from the payments due to such Relevant Seller on Release Date 1;
(b)25% of each Waived Amount in respect of each Relevant Seller will be deducted from the payments due to such Relevant Seller on Release Date 2; and
(c)25% of each Waived Amount in respect of each Relevant Seller will be deducted from the payments due to such Relevant Seller on Release Date 3.
5.3If on any Release Date the amount deducted in respect of a Relevant Seller pursuant to clause 5.2 has been reduced by either (i) a Withheld Amount or (ii) a Determined Warranty Retention Claim, then the amount of the reduction shall be carried forward and added to the amount to be deducted from the payment to that Relevant Seller on the next Release Date (and so on, if necessary, until Release Date 3).
5.4Subject to clause 5.5, if, following the application of clauses 5.2 and 5.3 across all three Release Dates, the total amount deducted in respect of a Relevant Seller is less than
that Relevant Seller's Waived Amount (the difference being a "Retention Adjustment Amount"), the parties acknowledge and agree that:
(a)the Retention Adjustment Amountshall to the extent possible be satisfied by way of a reduction in amounts otherwise due and payable to the relevant Relevant Seller from the Buyer and to the extent so satisfied shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price payable by the Buyer to the relevant Relevant Seller pursuant to clause 15.12 of the SPA;
(b)to the extent that no further amounts remain due and payable to the relevant Relevant Seller from the Buyer against which the Retention Adjustment Amount may be set off, the relevant Relevant Seller shall, within 20 Business Days of (i) Release Date 3 or (ii) the date on which a notified Warranty Retention Claim which is ongoing at Release Date 3 is Determined in accordance with the SPA, whichever is the later, pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the Retention Adjustment Amount ("Adjustment Payment"), provided always that:
(i)no Relevant Seller shall be required to make any payment under this clause 5.4(b) unless and until the Buyer has first applied the Retention Adjustment Amount in full against any amounts otherwise due and payable to the relevant Relevant Seller from the Buyer; and
(ii)any payment made by a Relevant Seller pursuant to this clause 5.4(b) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price in accordance with clause 15.12 of the SPA.
5.5The parties acknowledge and agree that an Adjustment Payment can only arise in circumstances where the aggregate amount of Warranty Retention Claim(s) that have been Determined in accordance with the SPA has reduced the Warranty Retention Sum to such an extent that the deductions contemplated by clause 5.2 or 5.3 could not be given full effect across all three Release Dates.
5.6Each Relevant Seller acknowledges and agrees that:
(a)the Buyer shall have no obligation to pay the Waived Amounts (or any part thereof) to the Paying Agent Account or otherwise to the Relevant Sellers and the Waived Amounts shall be retained by the Buyer;
(b)this Deed is not intended to affect, modify or prejudice the rights of any Seller under the SPA who is not a Relevant Seller;
(c)it is entering into the waivers and releases in this clause 5 with full knowledge of all facts and circumstances relevant to its position and having taken (or had the opportunity to take) its own independent legal advice;
(d)this waiver is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged.
5.7Each Relevant Seller irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes that it shall not, and shall procure that none of its Affiliates shall:
(a)bring, pursue, threaten, assist or procure any Claim or proceedings against the Buyer or any member of the Buyer's Group in connection with, or seeking to recover, all or any part of the Waived Amounts; or
(b)seek to challenge the validity or enforceability of the waivers and releases in this clause 5 on any ground, including on the ground that it was not aware of, or did not contemplate, any particular claim or right at the date of this Deed.
5.8The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, with effect from the Effective Date, and as a result of the waiver of the Waived Amount, the figure attributed to the Purchase Price in clause 3.1 of the SPA shall be reduced by US$14,000,000, being the aggregate of the Waived Amounts. All references to the Purchase Price in the SPA shall be construed accordingly, but nothing in this deed shall operate to adjust any amount of the Purchase Price payable to any other Seller.
6.1If the Buyer fails to make any payment due to a Relevant Seller on the date on which such payment falls due pursuant to clauses 9.5(a), 9.5(b) or 9.5(c) of the SPA (as modified by this Deed) (the "Shortfall Amount"), the relevant Relevant Seller shall be entitled to serve written notice on the Buyer requiring payment within five (5) Business Days (a "Shortfall Notice"). If the Buyer fails to pay the Shortfall Amount in full within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such Shortfall Notice, the relevant Relevant Seller shall, subject to clause 6.3, have the right (but not the obligation), exercisable by written notice to the Buyer at any time while the relevant Shortfall Amount remains outstanding, to require the Buyer to allot and issue to such Relevant Seller such number of fully paid unrestricted Ordinary Shares (the "Shortfall Shares") as is equal to:
Shortfall Shares = (the Shortfall Amount divided by the Conversion Price).
6.2For the purposes of clause 6.1:
(a)Conversion Price means eighty percent (80%) of the average VWAP of an Ordinary Share in respect of the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately preceeding the date of the Shortfall Notice;
(b)Trading Day means any day during which the NASDAQ is open for regular way trading; and
(c)VWAP means, in respect of any Trading Day, the volume-weighted average price of one Ordinary Share on that Trading Day as reported on the relevant stock exchange or trading platform on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed or admitted to trading (as derived from Bloomberg or, if Bloomberg is unavailable, such other reputable financial data source as the parties may agree in writing).
6.3The Buyer shall allot and issue any Shortfall Shares due pursuant to clause 6.1 within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the relevant Relevant Seller's conversion notice, subject to and conditional upon the relevant Relevant Seller having paid to the Buyer the aggregate nominal subscription price payable in respect of such Shortfall Shares.
6.4The allotment and issue of Shortfall Shares to a Relevant Seller pursuant to clause 6.1 shall constitute full and final satisfaction and discharge of the Buyer's obligation to pay the relevant Shortfall Amount to such Relevant Seller pursuant to clauses 9.5(a), 9.5(b) and/or 9.5(c) of the SPA (as applicable), and upon such allotment and issue the Buyer shall have no further liability to such Relevant Seller in respect of that Shortfall Amount.
7.Representations and warranties

8.2If a deletion, variation, supplement, restatement, termination or other change to this deed pursuant to clause 8.1 would: (i) impose or increase any new obligations on a party; or (ii) have a disadvantageous or disproportionate effect on a particular party relative to the other parties, the consent of the affected party to such change shall be specifically required.
9.Announcements and Disclosures
9.1Subject to clause 9.2, no party shall, and each party shall procure that none of its respective Affiliates, advisers or representatives shall, make or issue any announcement, public statement, communication or disclosure (in each case whether oral or written and in whatever medium, including any filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any equivalent regulatory authority, such as a Form 6-K) that refers to or relates to this Deed, its subject matter, or the transactions contemplated by it (the "Relevant Matters"), without the prior written approval of:
