Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

As of August 9, 2015, Response Genetics, Inc. (the “Company”) executed an agreement under which the Company has agreed in principle to sell substantially all of its business assets in a sale conducted under supervision by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The “stalking-horse” purchaser under the agreement is Cancer Genetics, Inc. (“CGI”). As required by the Bankruptcy Code, the sale to CGI will be subject to overbidding by other prospective purchasers.

CGI is an emerging DNA and molecular diagnostics company focused on the personalization of cancer treatment through the discovery, development and commercialization of genomic and biomarker based panels to help clinicians, hospitals, and biopharmaceutical companies globally. Its stock is traded on the Nasdaq under the symbol CGIX - (Nasdaq:CGIX).

Under the agreement, the Company has proposed to sell substantially all of its assets, including certain leasehold improvements, tangible personal property, intangible property, leases and contracts, accounts receivable, inventory and business records. The purchase price for the assets, subject to certain adjustments, is proposed to consist of $14,000,000, comprised of a 50/50 split in value of cash and the common stock of CGI. The number of shares of CGI stock to be delivered to the Company at the closing of the sale will be based on the value per share of the CGI stock, determined as the average of the closing prices per share on each of the three trading days immediately preceding announcement of the proposed sale. All shares of CGI’s stock included in the purchase price will be issued directly to one of the Company’s secured lenders. As additional consideration, CGI has agreed in principle to assume certain liabilities of the Company, including certain paid time off balances for retained employees and certain post-petition payables.

The agreement in principle remains subject to finalization of all schedules and exhibits to the agreement within seven days of the Company’s commencement of its chapter 11 case. In addition, the agreement is proposed to be subject to the satisfaction of a number of closing conditions, including Bankruptcy Court approval and the absence of certain material adverse events. No assurance can be given that the sale will be consummated on the anticipated terms, or at all. Upon the occurrence of certain events or defaults by the Company, the purchaser is entitled to terminate the Asset Purchase Agreement and to receive a break-up fee in an amount equal to 4% of the aggregate purchase price and reimbursement of up to $125,000 of its expenses in connection with the transaction.

The foregoing description of the agreement in principle does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Asset Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. Readers should review such agreement for a complete understanding of the terms and conditions associated with this transaction.

As of August 9, 2015, the Company entered into a senior secured, super-priority debtor-in-possession financing arrangement (the “DIP Facility”) with SWK Funding LLC, Swiftcurrent Partners LP, and Swiftcurrent Offshore Master Ltd. (collectively, the “DIP Lenders”) under which the Company may borrow up to $16,250,000 to finance operations and working capital during its chapter 11 proceedings, pay certain costs and expenses (including the costs and expenses of the Company’s chapter 11 proceedings), and fund payment of interest and fees to the DIP Lenders, and for certain other purposes. Indebtedness incurred under the DIP Facility accrues interest at a per annum floating rate equal to the sum of (a) a LIBOR-based rate defined in the DIP Facility documents plus (b) 12.5%. Indebtedness under the DIP Facility matures 60 days after the commencement of the Company’s chapter 11 case and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. In addition, the DIP Facility terminates on the first to occur of (a) its maturity date, (b) the closing of the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, (c) 25 days after the commencement of the Company’s chapter 11 case if a final order approving the DIP Facility has not been entered, or (d) the effective date of a confirmed plan of reorganization or liquidation that provides for payment in full of all obligations of the Company under the DIP Facility or is otherwise acceptable to the DIP Lenders in their sole discretion. In addition, the DIP Lenders are entitled to terminate the DIP Facility upon the occurrence of certain adverse events or defaults by the Company. The DIP Facility is subject to a number of conditions, including Bankruptcy Court approval, and the Company is required to pay the DIP Lenders’ reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the DIP Facility.

The foregoing description of the DIP Facility does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the DIP Term Sheet attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. Readers should review such agreement for a complete understanding of the terms and conditions associated with this transaction.

Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership

On August 9, 2015, the Company filed voluntary chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in Wilmington, Delaware. The proceeding has been assigned case no.15-11663.

The Company will continue its ordinary course of business operations and will operate as a debtor-in-possession within the bankruptcy proceeding. These bankruptcy filings were necessitated by the Company's inability to secure new equity or debt financing on terms acceptable to the Company's current primary lender. The Company hopes to use the protections provided by the chapter 11 process to effect a sale of all or substantially all of its assets. The Company believes that the chapter 11 filing provides it with the best chance of preserving the value of its business assets and maximizing the return to all of the stakeholders of the Company.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information contained in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by this reference into this Item 2.03.

(i) cash in the amount of (A) $7,000,000 (the “Cash Consideration”);

(iii) the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities.

(b) Within two (2) Business of Days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit into an escrow (the “Escrow”) with Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP (the “Escrow Holder”) an amount equal to $500,000.00 (the “Initial Deposit”) in immediately available, good funds (funds delivered in this manner are referred to herein as “Good Funds”). In turn, the Escrow Holder shall immediately deposit the Deposit into a client trust account. Within two (2) Business Days after the agreement by Purchaser and Seller in writing upon the form and substance of all Schedules and Exhibits and the final provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by Section 7.1(h), Purchaser shall deposit an additional $500,000.00 in Good Funds into the Escrow (the “Additional Deposit” and, along with the Initial Deposit, the “Deposit”). The Deposit, together with any interest accrued thereon, shall become nonrefundable and shall be disbursed to Seller to be retained by Seller for its own account upon the termination of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by reason of Purchaser’s default pursuant to Section 7.1(d) hereof, but not for any other reason. At the Closing, the Deposit (and any interest accrued thereon) shall be credited and applied toward payment of the Cash Consideration. If the transactions contemplated herein terminate pursuant to Section 7.1 (other than pursuant to Section 7.1(d)), the Escrow Holder shall return to Purchaser the Deposit (together with all interest accrued thereon). If the transactions contemplated herein terminate pursuant to Section 7.1(d), the Escrow Holder shall disburse to Seller the Deposit (together with all interest accrued thereon).

(i) instructing the Escrow Holder to disburse the Deposit, together with all interest accrued thereon, to Seller;

(ii) paying to Seller Good Funds in an amount equal to (i) the Cash Consideration, minus (ii) the Deposit, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of all Damage or Destruction Losses, if any, determined pursuant to Section 4.15, minus (iv) the net amount, if any, payable by Seller pursuant to Section 1.9 below plus (v) the net amount, if any, payable by Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.9 below ; and

(iii) issuing and delivering to SWK Funding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SWK”) the Stock Consideration registered in the name of SWK.

(d) Purchaser shall prepare a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price (and all other capitalized costs) among the Assets for U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and franchise Tax purposes, including (i) the Assumed Liabilities to the extent such Liabilities are required to be treated as part of the purchase price for Tax purposes and (ii) allocation of the Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration; provided that all such allocations shall be made in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. No later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver such allocation to Seller for Seller’s review and approval, which approval Seller shall not unreasonably withhold.

4.4

Regulatory and Other Authorizations; Consents.

(a) Each of the parties hereto shall cooperate and use its commercially reasonable efforts (which reasonable efforts expressly exclude, except to the extent provided for in the DIP Budget, any obligation on Seller’s part to pay any fee or other amount to any third party for its consent, waiver, authorization or the like) to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under any Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) obtain any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders required to be obtained or made in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and, to the extent that the need for the same is not obviated by the entry of the Sale Order, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) promptly make all filings and give any notice, and thereafter make any other submissions either required or reasonably deemed appropriate by each of the parties, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby required under any Law, including applicable securities Law, and the rules and regulations of any stock exchange on which the securities of any of the parties are listed or quoted (including the Nasdaq Stock Market).

(b) The parties hereto shall cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the making of all such filings and notices, including by providing copies of all such documents to the non-filing party and its advisors a reasonable period of time prior to filing or the giving of notice to the extent practicable. No party to this Agreement shall consent to any voluntary extension of any statutory deadline or waiting period or to any voluntary delay of the consummation and the transactions contemplated in this Agreement at the behest of any Governmental Body without the consent and agreement of the other parties to this Agreement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each party shall promptly inform the others of any material communication from any Governmental Body regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. To the extent practicable, no party to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Body in respect of any filing with such body, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Body, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting.

4.5 Further Action.

Each of the parties hereto shall prepare and execute such documents and take such further actions as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the foregoing, from time to time after the Closing, Seller shall execute and deliver such documents reasonably necessary to further the sale, transfer, conveyance and assignment of the Assets to Purchaser hereunder (including the Intellectual Property Assets), including, if required, a power of attorney or other instrument designating Purchaser as Seller’s successor with respect to the Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.5 shall be deemed to obligate either Purchaser or Seller to take any action or execute or deliver any document which would cause such party to incur any significant monetary cost or expense. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.5 shall be deemed to obligate either Purchaser or Seller to take any action or execute or deliver any document which would (i) cause such party to incur any significant monetary cost or expense (or, in Seller’s case, any cost or expense not provided for in the DIP Budget), (ii) impose on such party material burdens not expressly imposed on that party pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, or (iii) cause such party to become involved in any litigation or proceeding other than those proceedings expressly contemplated by this Agreement, except, in each case or (i), (ii) and (iii), to the extent the other party pays therefor.

4.6

Employee Matters.

(a) From and after the date hereof, Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, may: (i) in consultation and cooperation with Seller (by and through Seller’s senior management personnel), communicate with any of the Business Employees about possible employment with Purchaser after the Closing Date; and/or (ii) offer employment to any of the Business Employees as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall make offers of employment to not less than 75% of the Business Employees for compensation and otherwise on terms and conditions at least comparable to those applicable to similarly situated employees of Purchaser. Those of the Business Employees that accept Purchaser’s offer of employment shall be terminated by Seller, and shall become employed by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates (referred to in this Agreement as “Transferred Employees”) as of the Closing Date. All employment offers are subject to the satisfactory completion by Purchaser of its customary employment interview, background checks and drug testing procedures.

(b) To the extent that length of employment service is relevant for purposes of eligibility or vesting under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement established or maintained by Purchaser and provided to the Transferred Employees (excluding any equity-related plan, program or arrangement), Purchaser shall credit the Transferred Employees under such plan, program or arrangement for service on or prior to the Closing in the manner set forth on Schedule 4.6(b).

(c) Seller shall be responsible for any liabilities or obligations (i) arising under the WARN Act, if any, and (ii) resulting from or precipitated by layoffs, if any, in respect of employees of Seller whose employment was terminated on or prior to the Closing.

(d) Purchaser shall assume all liability and responsibility for any health care continuation coverage (“COBRA Coverage”) required under Section 4980B of the Code and Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title 1 of ERISA with respect to any Business Employees or former employees of Seller. Purchaser shall provide COBRA Coverage to such Business Employees and former employees on such terms and at such rates as Purchaser currently provides to its own employees and former employees.

4.7

Bankruptcy Court Approvals.

On the Petition Date, Seller shall file a motion (the “Sale Motion”) seeking entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the sale of the Assets to Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Sale Order”), which Sale Order Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain. The Sale Order shall be substantially in the form and content attached as Exhibit A hereto. As part of the Sale Motion), Seller shall also request and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the Bankruptcy Court an order (the “Bid Procedures Order”) which establishes and approves, among other things, the competitive bidding process and bidding protections (including, without limitation, Purchaser’s right to receive the Expense Reimbursement Amount and the Break-Up Fee), as well as the noticing procedures with respect to the assumption and assignment of the Assumed Contract and the Assumed Leases. The Bid Procedures Order shall be substantially in the form and content attached as Exhibit B hereto. Seller shall conduct the sale process relating to the Assets in accordance with the rights and authority granted to Seller in the Bid Procedures Order.

Books and Records; Access to Personnel.

Purchaser agrees that it shall preserve and keep all books and records in respect of the operations of the Business acquired from Seller hereunder and in Purchaser’s possession for a period of at least seven (7) years from the Closing Date in a manner consistent in all material respects with Purchaser’s document retention and destruction policies. At any time during such seven-year period, representatives of Seller shall, upon reasonable notice, have reasonable access thereto during normal business hours to examine, inspect and copy such books and records for the purposes of preparing Tax Returns; provided, however, that, for avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not require Purchaser to take any such action if (i) such action may result in a waiver or breach of any attorney/client privilege, (ii) such action could reasonably be expected to result in violation of applicable Law, or (iii) providing such access or information would be reasonably expected to be disruptive to its normal business operations.. During the pendency of the Bankruptcy Case, Purchaser shall also make available to Seller and its representatives (to the extent in Purchaser’s or an Affiliate’s employ and to the extent that the same does not unreasonably interfere with Purchase operation of the Business) access at reasonable times to those individuals listed on Schedule 4.8 to this Agreement for reasonable consultation in connection with matters relating to administration and wind down of the Bankruptcy Case.

4.9

Tax Matters.

(a) Sales, Use and Other Transfer Taxes. Purchaser and Seller shall share responsibility, on a 50%/50% basis, for any and all excise, sales, value added, use, registration, stamp, franchise, transfer and similar Taxes, levies, charges and fees incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively “Transfer Taxes”); provided, however, Purchaser hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that Seller’s liability for its portion of the Transfer Taxes will not exceed $65,000.00 and that Purchaser will bear and pay 100% of any amounts by which the aggregate Transfer Taxes exceed $130,000.00. The parties hereto agree to cooperate in the filing of all necessary documentation and all Tax Returns with respect to all such Taxes, including any available pre-sale filing procedure.

(b) Cooperation. The Parties shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with each other and with each other’s respective representatives, including accounting firms and legal counsel, in connection with the preparation or audit of any Tax Return(s) and any Tax claim or litigation in respect of the Assets and Assumed Liabilities that include whole or partial taxable periods, activities, operations or events on or prior to the Closing Date, which cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, making available any ongoing employees, if any, for the purpose of providing testimony and advice, or original documents, or any of the foregoing.

4.10

“AS IS” Transaction.

Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that Seller makes no representations or warranties whatsoever, express or implied, with respect to any matter relating to the Assets that will survive or continue beyond the Closing (including, without limitation, income to be derived or expenses to be incurred in connection with the Assets, the physical condition of any personal property comprising a part of the Assets or which is the subject of any Assumed Contract to be assumed by Purchaser at the Closing, the environmental condition or other matter relating to the physical condition of any real property or improvements which are the subject of any Real Property Lease to be assumed by Purchaser at the Closing or any other real property or improvements comprising a part of the Assets, the zoning of any such real property or improvements, the value of the Assets (or any portion thereof), the transferability of Assets, the terms, amount, validity, collectability or enforceability of any assumed liabilities or Assumed Lease or other Assumed Contract, the title of the Assets (or any portion thereof), the merchantability or fitness of the Fixed Assets or Equipment or other tangible personal property included among the Assets or any other portion of the Assets for any particular purpose, or any other matter or thing relating to the Assets or any portion thereof). Without in any way limiting the foregoing, except for the representations and warranties provided herein, Seller hereby disclaims any warranty (express or implied) of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose as to any portion of the Assets. Purchaser further acknowledges that Purchaser has conducted an independent inspection and investigation of the physical condition of all portions the Assets and all such other matters relating to or affecting the Assets as Purchaser deemed necessary or appropriate and that in proceeding with its acquisition of the Assets, Purchaser is doing so based solely upon such independent inspections and investigations. Purchaser acknowledges that the Assets will be transferred at the Closing on an “AS IS,” “WHERE IS,” and “WITH ALL FAULTS” basis.

4.11

Press Releases and Public Announcements.

Neither Purchaser, on the one hand, nor Seller, on the other hand, shall issue any press release or make any public disclosure, either written or oral, concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written approval of the other party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless in the sole judgment of the disclosing party, disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law, including any rules or regulations of any self-regulatory organization, or by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to filings to be made with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with this Agreement or by the applicable rules of any national securities exchange or market on which Purchaser or Seller lists securities (including the Nasdaq Stock Market); provided that the party intending to make such disclosure shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party with respect to the text thereof.

4.12

Damage or Destruction.

Until the Closing, the Assets shall remain at the risk of Seller. In the event of any material damage to or destruction of any of the Assets after the date hereof and prior to the Closing (in any such case, a “Damage or Destruction Loss”) Seller shall give notice thereof to Purchaser promptly thereafter. If any such Damage or Destruction Loss is covered by policies of insurance and the underlying Asset is not repaired or replaced prior to Closing, all right and claim of Seller to any proceeds of insurance for such Damage or Destruction Loss shall be assigned and (if previously received by Seller and not used prior to the Closing Date to repair any damage or destruction) paid to Purchaser at Closing in accordance with Section 1.4(b). If any such Damage or Destruction Loss is not covered by policies of insurance, Purchaser shall have the right to reduce the Cash Consideration by an amount equal to (i) if such Assets are not destroyed or damaged beyond repair and are able to be repaired to substantially the same condition that existed prior to such Damage or Destruction Loss at a cost less than their replacement cost, the estimated cost to repair or restore the Assets affected by such Damage or Destruction Loss to substantially the same condition that existed immediately prior to the occurrence of such Damage or Destruction Loss, or (ii) if such Assets are destroyed or damaged beyond repair or are not able to be repaired to substantially the same condition that existed prior to such Damage or Destruction Loss at a cost less than their replacement cost, the replacement cost of the Assets. If Purchaser elects to reduce the Cash Consideration pursuant to this Section 4.12, Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon the amount of such reduction. If the parties are unable to reach agreement within five (5) Business Days after notice of the Damage or Destruction Loss is given by Seller, then the amount of the reduction shall be determined by the Bankruptcy Court.

4.13

(b) Seller agrees that, for a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date, neither it nor its Affiliates will directly or indirectly recruit, solicit or hire any Transferred Employee, nor shall such Seller or its Affiliates encourage any Transferred Employee to terminate his or her employment or relationship with Purchaser or its Affiliates.

For the avoidance of all doubt, nothing in this Section 4.13, shall be deemed to in any way apply to or otherwise limit or restrict the activities of any officer, director, shareholder, employee, contractor, independent contractor, or other individual at any time acting for itself/themselves or on behalf of any person or entity other than Seller or its Affiliates.

5.9

Representation Letter.

BDO Consent.

(a) BDO shall have consented in writing to Purchaser’s use of Seller’s historical audited financial statements in pro-forma financial statements prepared and filed by Purchaser; provided that the commentary that may accompany such audited financial statements in such pro-forma financial statements is the following language:

“The pro-forma numbers above are derived from the historical numbers of the purchaser and seller. Over time the operations of the sellers will be integrated into the operations of the purchaser. This integration may change how certain tests are coded and submitted to payers (including Medicare) and, consequently, may result in differences in the future in the manner in which revenues and bad debt expenses are recorded when compared with the historical methods of the acquiree. At the current time the CGI does not have enough information to prepare a reliable estimate of any possible changes.”

(b) Seller shall have provided Purchaser with financial statements for the second quarter of 2015 reviewed by BDO and otherwise prepared in a manner consistent with Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act.

Debtor shall use a cash management system that is the same as or substantially similar to its pre-petition cash management system. Any material changes from such pre-petition cash management system must be acceptable to SWK in its sole discretion. The Interim Order and Final Order shall provide the DIP Lenders with a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the cash held in the Debtor’s bank accounts, subject only to the relative priority provisions of that certain Intercreditor Agreement between SWK and SVB dated July 30, 2014 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”).

Collateral Security:

The DIP Facility (including accrued interest, fees, costs and expenses) shall be secured, subject and subordinate to any valid, perfected prior liens and security interests existing as of the Petition Date other than those in favor of the Pre-Petition Agent and/or the Pre-Petition Lenders and consistent with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and subject in all events to payment of the Carve Out, by first priority senior and priming liens and security interests (the “DIP Liens”) in all of the Debtor’s property, including, without limitation, all of Debtor’s existing and future acquired property and interests of any nature whatsoever, real and personal, tangible and intangible, accounts receivable, general intangibles, payment intangibles, supporting obligations, investment property, commercial tort claims, inventory, rolling stock, machinery, equipment, subsidiary capital stock, chattel paper, documents, instruments, deposit accounts, contract rights, and tax refunds of the Debtor, excluding only Avoidance Actions and the proceeds thereof (collectively, the “DIP Collateral”).

and Perfection:

All liens authorized and granted pursuant to the Interim Order or the Final Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court approving the DIP Facility or with respect to adequate protection shall be deemed effective and perfected as of the Petition Date, and no further filing, notice or act will be required to effect such perfection.

The Debtor shall stipulate in the Interim Order and Final Order that (i) SWK’s liens securing the Pre-Petition Credit Facility are valid, perfected, encumber all assets of the Debtor, and have first priority subject only to the prior lien in favor of SVB in the “Revolving Loan Priority Collateral” (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) SVB’s liens securing the obligations under the Revolving Loan Documents are valid, perfected, and encumber all assets of the Debtor, and (iii) the Debtor possesses no claims, offsets or any other type cause of action against SVB or SWK which would impair, in any manner, SVB’s or SWK’s liens against the Debtor’s assets, the Obligations of the Debtor to SWK under the Pre-Petition Credit Facility, or the obligations of the Debtor to SVB under the Revolving Loan Documents. The Debtor’s stipulations shall be binding upon all parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Case, including any committee that is appointed, unless (i) an adversary proceeding is filed (x) by any party-in-interest prior to the expiration of seventy-five (75) days after the Petition Date or (y) by the creditors’ committee, if formed, sixty (60) days after its formation (the “Review Period”) against SWK or SVB (as applicable) challenging SVB or SWK’s liens (as applicable) or otherwise asserting estate claims against SWK or SVB (as applicable), and (ii) a final, non-appealable judgment is entered against SWK or SVB (as applicable) in such adversary proceeding; provided, however, any party-in-interest that fails to file an adversary proceeding within the Review Period shall be forever barred from asserting any claims against SVB and/or SWK (as applicable) on behalf of the Debtor’s estate, or challenging in any manner SVB’s or SWK’s liens and claims (as applicable) against the Debtor.

Release of Claims

In consideration of the furnishing of the DIP Facility, the Debtor, subject to the rights of another party to bring a Challenge Action during the Review Period, and upon entry of the Final Order, hereby absolutely releases and forever discharges each of the Pre-Petition Agent and Pre-Petition Lenders and their affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and other representatives from any and all claims and causes of action of every kind and nature that the Debtor may hold against such released parties.

506(c) Surcharge

Upon entry of the Final Order, the Debtor hereby waives any right to surcharge the prepetition collateral or DIP Collateral, whether pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 506(c) or 105(a) or under any other applicable law.

Adequate Protection:

As adequate protection and in consideration for being primed by the DIP Lenders’ claims and liens, the Pre-Petition Lenders (a) shall receive a claim having priority over any and all expenses of the kind specified in, among other sections of the Bankruptcy Code, Sections 105, 326, 328, 330, 331, 503(b), 506(c), 507(a), 507(b), 726, and 1114, subject to payment of the Carve Out and subject to the super-priority administrative claims of the DIP Lenders under the DIP Facility and existing claims of the Pre-Petition Lenders and SVB on their respective pre-petition collateral; and (b) shall have valid, binding, enforceable and perfected liens in all DIP Collateral, subject to payment of the Carve Out, the DIP Liens, and any prepetition liens or Revolving Loan Adequate Protection Liens held by SVB in the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), in each case equal to the sum of the aggregate diminution, if any, subsequent to the Petition Date, in the value of their respective pre-petition collateral (the “SWK Adequate Protection Liens”).

As adequate protection and in consideration for the Debtor’s use of SVB’s cash collateral, SVB (a) shall receive a claim having priority over any and all expenses of the kind specified in, among other sections of the Bankruptcy Code, Sections 105, 326, 328, 330, 331, 503(b), 506(c), 507(a), 507(b), 726, and 1114, subject to payment of the Carve Out and subject to the super-priority administrative claims of the DIP Lenders under the DIP Facility and existing claims of the Pre-Petition Lenders and SVB on their respective pre-petition collateral; and (b) shall have valid, binding, enforceable and perfected liens in all DIP Collateral, subject to payment of the Carve Out, the DIP Liens, and any prepetition liens or SWK Adequate Protection Liens held by the Pre-Petition Lenders in the Term Loan Priority Collateral (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), in each case equal to the sum of the aggregate diminution, if any, subsequent to the Petition Date, in the value of their respective pre-petition collateral (the “Revolving Loan Adequate Protection Liens”, and collectively with the SWK Adequate Protection Liens, the “Adequate Protection Liens”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the super-priority claims and Adequate Protection Liens granted herein in favor of the Pre-Petition Lenders shall not be payable from Avoidance Actions or the proceeds thereof.

Fees and Expenses:

Debtor shall promptly pay or reimburse SWK when invoiced for all reasonable costs and expenses of counsel (including, without limitation, local counsel) and financial advisors for SWK relating to the DIP Facility and the administration and interpretation of, and the enforcement of remedies under, the DIP Facility and including all due-diligence, including but not limited to environmental due-diligence, duplication or printing costs, consultation, travel, and attendance at court hearings, regardless of whether the DIP Facility is consummated. SWK shall have the right to charge the DIP Facility for any such fees and costs. Failure to pay such fees and expenses within ten Business Days of delivery of the applicable invoice shall be an Event of Default under the DIP Facility, provided that SWK shall concurrently provide copies of any invoices to the U.S. Trustee and the Committee and allow such parties at least five Business Days to review and object to any fees or expenses requested therein. If any objection is asserted, the Bankruptcy Court shall decide the issue and the Debtor shall not be required to pay any disputed portion of such fees or expenses until the matter is resolved.
