Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Reference
is made to (i) the 10% Series A Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in
the principal amount of $7,000,000 (the “Series A Note”) issued by Neoprobe
Corporation (“Neoprobe”) to Platinum-Montaur Life Sciences, LLC (“Platinum”),
(ii) the 10% Series B Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the initial
principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Series B Note” and, together with the
Series A Note, the “Notes”) issued by Neoprobe to Platinum, (iii) the 8%
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) issued by
Neoprobe to Platinum, (iv) the Series X Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common
Stock (the “Series X Warrant”) issued by Neoprobe to Platinum and (v) the Series
Y Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock (the “Series Y Warrant”) issued by
Neoprobe to Platinum.
Pursuant
to and in accordance with Section 1.2 of the Notes, Neoprobe is permitted to pay
interest on the Notes in shares of its Common Stock (“Interest Shares”), at a
valuation determined by reference to 90% of the average VWAP (as defined in the
Notes) for the five Trading Days (as defined in the Notes) immediately preceding
the date of payment. Neoprobe is permitted to pay dividends on the
Preferred Stock in shares of its Common Stock (“Dividend Shares” and, together
with the Interest Shares, the “Payment Shares”).
You
have asked Platinum to waive certain conversion or exercise price adjustments
under the Preferred Stock, the Series X Warrant and the Series Y Warrant that
may result from the issuance and payment of the Payment Shares. You
have also asked Platinum to extend to Neoprobe a two business day “grace” period
for the delivery of certificates representing the Payment Shares.
Platinum
hereby agrees that, for so long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Notes)
shall have occurred, (i) Platinum will be deemed to have waived any adjustment
to the conversion price or the exercise price under the Preferred Stock, the
Series X Warrant and the Series Y Warrant, as applicable, that would have
otherwise been made as a result of the issuance and payment of the Payment
Shares; provided that such waiver is effective only if the valuation of the
Payment Shares under Section 1.2 of the Notes (i.e., 90% of the trailing five
Trading Day average VWAP), assuming for purposes of this calculation that such
Payment Shares are paid pursuant to the Notes, is more than $0.40 per share, and
(ii) the physical delivery of a certificate representing the Payment Shares at
any time up to two business days after the relevant interest or dividend payment
date shall be deemed timely delivered.
By
its execution below, Neoprobe agrees (i) that any shares of Common Stock
delivered as Dividend Shares shall, notwithstanding any provision of the
Certificate of Designations, Voting Power, Preferences, Limitations,
Restrictions and Relative Rights (the “Certificate of Designations”) of the
Preferred Stock to the contrary, be valued by reference to 90% of the average
VWAP for the five Trading Days immediately preceding the date of payment,
including the dividend payment to be made by Neoprobe on the date hereof, and
(ii) the Certificate of Designations shall amended within 30 days of the date
hereof to reflect such a revised valuation for all future payment of Dividend
Shares.
