offer (which condition may only be waived with PJC’s prior written consent in its sole discretion), (b) provisions pursuant to which the accrued and unpaid interest due to each Convertible Note Holder who accepts and exchanges all of its Convertible Notes in the Convertible Note Exchange Offer to, but not including the Closing Date, shall be deemed capitalized as of the Closing Date and deemed added to the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes tendered by such Convertible Note Holder that participates in the Convertible Note Exchange Offer and (c) provisions pursuant to which (i) each Convertible Note Holder who accepts and exchanges all of its Convertible Notes in the Convertible Note Exchange Offer may elect to purchase Shares pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement on a pro rata basis based on its holdings of Convertible Notes and (ii) each such Convertible Note Holder may oversubscribe to purchase Shares that are not purchased by other Convertible Note Holders who accept and exchange all of their Convertible Notes in the Convertible Note Exchange Offer, provided that in no case may the Convertible Note Holders who accept and exchange all of their Convertible Notes in the Convertible Note Exchange Offer purchase more than 40,000,000 shares of Shares pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

2

waives and forever discharges (A) any and all liabilities, obligations, duties, promises or indebtedness of any kind of the Consenting Convertible Note Holders to Emergent, except the obligations to be performed by the Consenting Convertible Note Holders as expressly stated in this Agreement and those expressly stated to survive the termination of any Transaction Document, and (B) all claims, offsets, causes of action, suits, counterclaims, or defenses of any kind whatsoever (if any), whether known or unknown, which Emergent might otherwise have against any of the Consenting Convertible Note Holders, in either case (A) or (B) on account of any condition, act, omission, event, circumstance or matter of any kind whatsoever which existed, arose or occurred at any time prior to the Closing Date or which could thereafter arise as the result of the execution of (or the satisfaction of any condition precedent or subsequent contained in, or the performance of, or compliance with, any covenant or provision of) this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.

8.             Section 6.11(b) of the Agreement shall be amended by replacing the reference to “March 31, 2017” in such section with “April 10, 2017.”

Section 6.15  Sale of Senior Notes in Lieu of Exchange. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Emergent may forego launching the Senior Note Exchange Offer in the event that Emergent obtains the agreement of holders of not less than 100% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes to sell all of the Senior Notes to PJC or the Investor.  In such event, notwithstanding Section 2.3 or Section 6.12 of this Agreement, PJC shall cause the Investor to purchase from each Senior Note Holder all of the Senior Notes held by such Senior Note Holder on the Closing Date at a price equal to the face amount of each Senior Note pursuant to the terms of the Senior Note Purchase Agreement (as such may be revised to reflect the purchase of Senior Notes by the Investor instead of New Senior Notes), and immediately thereafter either (i) PJC shall cause the Investor to exchange all such Senior Notes purchased by the Investor for New Senior Notes of the same aggregate principal amount or (ii) the Senior Note Trustee and Emergent shall amend and restate the Senior Note Indenture such that the terms of the Senior Note Indenture are substantially identical to the terms set forth in the New Senior Note Indenture.

11.          Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.

13.          Miscellaneous.  This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Amendment shall be governed in all respects by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of laws, to the extent such principles would require or permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York).
