The date on which termination of this Agreement as to a Party is effective in accordance with Section 7 shall be referred to as an “Agreement Termination Date.” Other than Section 14, Section 22, Section 23, Section 24, Section 26, Section 29 and Section 31, which shall survive termination of this Agreement, upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force or effect with respect to any Party, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party shall be (A) immediately released from its respective liabilities, obligations, commitments, undertakings and agreements under or related to this Agreement, (B) have no further rights, benefits or privileges hereunder, and (C) have all the rights and remedies that it would have had and shall be entitled to take all actions, whether with respect to the Restructuring or otherwise, that it would have been entitled to take had it not entered into this Agreement; provided that in no event shall any such termination relieve a Party from liability for its breach or non-performance of its obligations hereunder prior to the date of such termination. Upon any such termination of this Agreement, any and all consents and ballots tendered by the Supporting Noteholders prior to such termination shall be deemed, for all purposes, automatically null and void ab initio, shall not be considered or otherwise used in any manner by the Parties in connection with the Plan, this Agreement or otherwise, and such consents or ballots may be changed or resubmitted regardless of whether the applicable voting deadline has passed (without the need to seek a court order or consent from Emergent allowing such change or resubmission), and Emergent shall not oppose any such change or resubmission. (f) Automatic Stay. Emergent acknowledges and agrees, and shall not dispute, that after the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case, the giving of a termination notice by the Required Supporting Noteholders pursuant to this Agreement shall not be a violation of the automatic stay of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (and Emergent hereby waives, to the greatest extent possible, the applicability of the automatic stay to the giving of such termination notice), and no cure period contained in this Agreement shall be extended or tolled without the prior written consent of the Required Supporting Noteholders. 8. Ownership Representations. Each of the Supporting Noteholders represents and warrants (severally and not jointly) that: (a) as of the date of this Agreement, it is the beneficial owner of the principal amount of the Emergent Claims and Interests in connection with the Convertible Notes Indenture, or is the nominee, investment manager or advisor for beneficial holders of such Emergent Claims and Interests, on such Supporting Noteholder’s signature page to this Agreement (collectively, the “Noteholder Claims”); provided, that, such signature pages to this Agreement shall be disclosed only to Emergent and their legal counsel and financial advisors and Emergent agrees (and agrees to cause its legal counsel and financial advisors to maintain the confidentiality of such information) that, except for such disclosure as may be required by an order of the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Case, such information shall be kept confidential in accordance with Section 29, and without limiting the foregoing, only redacted signature pages shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court; - 14 -
(b) each nominee, investment manager or advisor acting on behalf of beneficial holders of the Convertible Notes represents and warrants to Emergent and the other Supporting Noteholders that it has the legal authority to so act and to bind the applicable beneficial holder; and (c) other than pursuant to this Agreement, such Noteholder Claims are free and clear of any equity, option, proxy, voting restriction, right of first refusal or other limitation on disposition of any kind, that might adversely affect in any way such Supporting Noteholder’s performance of its obligations contained in this Agreement at the time such obligations are required to be performed. 9. [Reserved]. 10. Business Continuance; Access. (a) Except as contemplated by this Agreement or with the prior written consent of the Required Supporting Noteholders, Emergent covenants and agrees that, between the Agreement Effective Date and the Effective Date, Emergent shall (i) operate its business and the business of its direct and indirect subsidiaries in the ordinary course in a manner consistent with past practice in all material respects (other than any changes in operations (A) resulting from or relating to the filing or prosecution of the Chapter 11 Case or (B) imposed by the Bankruptcy Court), (ii) preserve intact its business organization and relationships with third parties and employees in the ordinary course of business in a manner that is consistent with past practice and in compliance with law, (iii) maintain its books and records on a basis consistent with prior practice and in compliance with law, and (iv) maintain its good standing and legal existence under the laws of the state in which it is incorporated, organized or formed, except to the extent that any failure to maintain its good standing arises solely as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Case. (b) Subject to the entry by any Supporting Noteholder and its advisors (each, a “Representative”) into a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to Emergent (provided, that, Emergent acknowledges and agrees that the existing confidentiality agreements between the Supporting Noteholders, their advisors and Emergent are acceptable), at the reasonable request and upon reasonable notice of one or more such Supporting Noteholders or advisors, Emergent agrees to respond to reasonable information requests from such Supporting Noteholders and their Representatives (each of whom shall be bound by a confidentiality agreement in favor of Emergent), and provide reasonable access to Emergent’s senior management personnel regarding Emergent’s business, the Chapter 11 Case, and the general status of ongoing operations, during normal business hours and at other reasonable times in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of Emergent. - 15 -

Each Party hereto agrees that, except for the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, none of the Parties make any other representations or warranties, and each Party hereby disclaims any other representation or warranties, express or implied, or as to the accuracy or completeness of any information, made by, or made available by, itself or any of its representatives, with respect to, or in connection with, the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to the other or the other’s representatives of any documentation or other information with respect to any one or more of the foregoing. 14. Federal Rule of Evidence 408. This Agreement and the Term Sheet are part of a proposed settlement of a dispute among the Parties.

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any other applicable rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms. 15. Representation by Counsel. Each Party hereto acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel (or had the opportunity to and waived its right to do so) in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would provide any Party hereto with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such Party based upon lack of legal counsel shall have no application and is expressly waived. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a reasonable manner to effect the intent of the Parties hereto. None of the Parties - 17 -
hereto shall have any term or provision construed against such Party solely by reason of such Party having drafted the same. 16. Independent Due Diligence and Decision-Making.

No prior history, pattern or practice of sharing confidences among or between the Parties hereto shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement. 21. Specific Performance.

WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

26. Indemnification. (a) Whether or not the Restructuring is consummated or this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Emergent (in such capacity, the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Supporting Noteholders and their successors and assigns (each acting in such capacity, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable fees and expenses, joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject to the extent arising out of or in connection with (i) this Agreement, the Chapter 11 Case, the Restructuring or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (ii) any breach by Emergent of this Agreement (subject to the limitation in the parenthetical proviso in the second sentence of Section 26(b)); provided, that, the foregoing indemnification will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent that they are finally judicially determined, pursuant to a final, non-appealable judgment or order, to have resulted from any breach of this Agreement by such Indemnified Person or bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Person. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. (b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to this Agreement, the Chapter 11 Case, the Restructuring or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (“Proceedings”), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder against the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided, that, the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure. In case any such Proceedings are brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person; provided, that, if the defendants in any such Proceedings include both such Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Proceedings (provided, that, Emergent shall not be responsible for any legal fees or expenses related to more than one such separate counsel) on behalf of such Indemnified Person. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of its election so to assume the defense of such Proceedings and approval by such Indemnified Person of counsel, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (i) such Indemnified - 20 -
Person shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the Indemnified Persons who are parties to such Proceedings), (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the Proceedings or (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person. (c) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceedings effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If any settlement of any Proceeding is consummated with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such Proceedings, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, the provisions of this Section 26. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceedings in respect of which indemnity has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability on the claims that are the subject matter of such Proceedings and (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. 27.

Public Disclosure. Emergent shall not (and shall cause each of its legal and financial advisors to not) (a) use the name of any Supporting Noteholder in any press release without such Supporting Noteholder’s prior written consent or (b) disclose to any Person other than legal and financial advisors to Emergent (i) the principal amount or percentage of any Noteholder Claims held by any Supporting Noteholder or file such information with the Bankruptcy Court or any court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) the identity of any Supporting Noteholder without such Supporting Noteholder’s prior written consent except as required by Bankruptcy Court order or other applicable law; provided, however, that, Emergent shall be permitted to disclose at any time the aggregate principal amount of and aggregate percentage of Noteholder Claims held by Supporting Noteholders and the contents of this Agreement, but not the principal amount of any Noteholder Claims held by any Supporting Noteholder in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Definitive Documents and any filings by Emergent with the Bankruptcy Court or the Securities and Exchange Commission or as required by law or regulation. 30. No Waiver of Participation and Preservation of Rights. This Agreement and the Plan are part of a proposed settlement of disputes among the Parties. Without limiting the foregoing sentence in any way, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise set forth in the Plan are not consummated as provided herein, (a) if an Agreement Termination Date occurs, or (b) if this Agreement is otherwise terminated for any reason, the Parties each fully reserve any and all of their respective rights, remedies, claims and interests. 31.

(d) Emergent’s agreement to reimburse or pay, as the case may be, the Transaction Expenses is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, without such agreement, the Supporting Noteholders would not have entered into this Agreement, and upon entry of the Confirmation Order, the Transaction Expenses shall constitute an administrative expense of Emergent under sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code. 32. No Solicitation.

Exchange Act of 1934, or (b) a solicitation of votes for the acceptance of a chapter 11 plan of reorganization (including the Plan) for the purposes of sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

No Participation on Committee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Supporting Noteholder should be appointed to, or agree to serve on, an official committee of unsecured creditors in the Chapter 11 Case during the Restructuring Support Period. 35. Other Restructuring Support Agreements. To the extent the Senior Noteholder RSA or any other restructuring support agreement or similar agreement entered into by Emergent (or any amendment, restatement, supplement or modification thereto) includes terms or conditions that are more favorable to the non-Emergent party thereto than the terms and conditions in this Agreement as they apply to the Supporting Noteholders, then this Agreement shall automatically be amended to include such more favorable provisions.
