Date”) is entered into by and among MultiVir, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Lender set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Lender”). 

RECITALS 
 A. On the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Lender is willing to lend to the Company under a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) up to an aggregate of $10,000,000, in exchange for the issuance by the Company to the
Lender of a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of the actual amount lent from time to time, along with a related warrants to acquire shares of the Company’s capital stock 

B. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the form of Note (as defined below) attached hereto as
Exhibit A. 
 AGREEMENT 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and the representations, warranties, and conditions set forth below, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
  

	 	1.	The Note and Warrants. 

 (a) Credit Facility. Subject
to all of the terms and conditions hereof, the Company and the Lender agree to enter into this Credit Facility, under which the Company may draw up to $10,000,000, from time to time, at any time period prior to December 31, 2016, in minimum
increments of $10,000 per draw, upon thirty (30) business days’ notice to the Lender, given in writing or by fax or by email. The amount of each draw shall be apportioned as set forth on Schedule I (the “Lender
Commitment”). 
 (b) Issuance of Notes. Draws upon the Credit Facility shall be evidenced by a subordinated promissory note
in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Note”), which the Company shall issue to the Lender. The principal amount outstanding from time to time under the Note shall be the total amount lent by the Lender, as
indicated on a Schedule of Amounts of Drawn attached to such Note (the “Outstanding Principal”). The obligations of the Company and the Lender under the Note are several and not joint. 

(c) Issuance of Warrants. Concurrently with the issuance of the Note to the Lender and with each draw under the Credit Facility in
accordance with Section 1(a), the Company will issue to the Lender a warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (together, the “Warrants”). Each Warrant will entitle the Lender to purchase a number of
shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 8% of each draw under the corresponding Credit Facility in accordance with Section 1(a) and reflected in the Schedule of Amounts Drawn attached to the Note. The exercise price of the Warrants
shall be $12.50 per share (the “Exercise Price”). The parties agree that a portion of the issue price of the investment unit consisting of the Note and the Warrant equal to the fair market value of the Warrant (which the Company and
the Lender agree is $0.01 per share) shall be allocated to the Warrant, and the balance shall be allocable to the Note. 
 (d)
Delivery. The issuance of the Note and initial Warrant shall take place at such place and time as the Company and the Lender may determine (the “Issuance Time”). At such time, the Company









 
will deliver to the Lender a Note and initial Warrant in exchange for the Lender’s commitment to funding the Credit Facility and at the time of each draw under the Credit Facility, the
Company will deliver to the Lender and additional Warrant in accordance with Section 1(c). The Note and Warrants will be registered in the Lender’s name in the Company’s records. 

(e) Use of Proceeds. Amounts draw upon the Credit Facility shall be used for general corporate purposes. 

(f) Payments. The Company will make all cash payments due under the Note in immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m. Eastern time
on the date such payment is due at the address for such purpose specified below the Lender’s name on Schedule I hereto, or at such other address, or in such other manner, as the Lender or other registered holder of a Note may
from time to time direct in writing. 
 2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants

(c) Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the

principles of equity. At the time of the Note and Warrants issuance hereunder, the Note and Warrants will have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against
the Company in accordance with their terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.

rule or regulation applicable to the Company; (ii) violate any provision of, or result in the breach or the acceleration of, or entitle any other Person to accelerate (whether after the giving of notice or lapse of time or both), any material
mortgage, indenture, agreement, instrument or contract to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any property or asset of the Company or the suspension, revocation,

 (h) Capitalization. 

(i) As of September 30, 2014 (the “Capitalization Date”), the authorized capital stock of the Company consisted of

(k) Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending, or currently threatened, against the Company, including
without limitation, any action that questions the validity of the 

  
 3 









 
Transaction Documents, or the right of the Company to enter into such agreements, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, or which, either in any case or in the
aggregate, might have a material adverse effect, which might result in any material impairment of the right or ability of the Company to carry on its business as now conducted or as proposed to be conducted, or which might result in any change in
the current equity ownership of the Company. The Company is not a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality. There is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation by the Company currently pending or that the Company intends to initiate. 
 (l) Disclosure. Neither this Agreement nor
any other agreement (including the other Transaction Documents), document, certificate or written statement furnished to the Lender or its counsel by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact relating directly to the Company or its subsidiaries necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact within the
knowledge of the Company which has not been disclosed herein or in writing to the Lender and which taken by itself would constitute a circumstance having, or could reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect. 

3. Representations and Warranties of Lender. The Lender represents and warrants to the Company as of the Effective Date as
follows: 
 (a) Binding Obligation. The Lender has full legal capacity, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and
to perform its obligations hereunder. Each of this Agreement and the Note and Warrants issued to the Lender is a valid and binding obligation of the Lender, enforceable against the Lender in accordance with its terms, except as limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity. 

(b) Securities Law Compliance. The Lender has been advised that the sale and issuance of the Note and Warrants has not been registered
under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws and, therefore, the Note and Warrants cannot be resold unless they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration
requirements is available. The Lender is aware that the Company is under no obligation to effect any such registration with respect to the Note or Warrants or to file for or comply with any exemption from registration in connection with any resale
of the Note or Warrants. The Lender has not been formed solely for the purpose of making this investment and is purchasing the Note and Warrants to be acquired by the Lender hereunder for its own account for investment, not as a nominee or agent,
and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof. The Lender has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Lender is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such investment, is
able to incur a complete loss of such investment and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. The Lender is an accredited Lender as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the
Securities Act. 
 (c) Access to Information. The Lender acknowledges that, to the Lender’s knowledge, the Company has given the
Lender access to the corporate records and accounts of the Company and to all information in the Company’s possession relating to the Company, has made its officers and representatives available for interview by the Lender, and has furnished
the Lender with all documents and other information requested by the Lender for the Lender to make an informed decision with respect to the purchase of the Note and Warrants. 

(d) Investment Experience. The Lender is a Lender in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able
to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its 

  
 4 









 
investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Note. If other than an individual,
the Lender also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Note. 
 (e) Exculpation. The Lender
acknowledges that it is not relying upon any Person, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. The Lender agrees that neither the Lender nor the respective controlling
Persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of the Lender shall be liable to any other Lender for any action heretofore taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the securities contemplated
hereby. 
 4. Covenants; Miscellaneous. 

(a) Waivers and Amendments. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, waived or modified only upon the written consent of the
Company and the Lender. 
 (b) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Delaware as such laws apply to contracts entered into and wholly to be performed therein by residents of such state. 
 (c)
Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, provided, however, that the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 4(e) shall
terminate in all respects upon the repayment in full of the Note and exercise of the Warrants issued hereunder. 
 (d) Successors and
Assigns. The rights and obligations of the Company and the Lender shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties. 

(e) Replacement of the Notes and Warrants. The Company will keep, at its principal executive office, books for the registration of the
Note and Warrants. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note or Warrants and (i) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it; or (ii) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender thereof, the Company, at its expense, will execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Note or Warrants executed in the same manner as the Note or Warrants being
replaced, and, in the case of the Note, in the same principal amount as the unpaid principal amount of the Note and dated the date to which interest shall have been paid on the Note or, if no interest shall have yet been so paid, dated the date of
the Note 
 (f) Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to deduct and
withhold from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of applicable law, and to request and be provided any necessary tax forms
and information, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, Form W-8BEN, or Form W-8BEN-E as applicable, from each beneficial owner of the Notes. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing
authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts otherwise would have been paid. 

(g) Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the Note and Warrants constitutes and contain the entire agreement among the Company
and the Lender and supersedes any and all prior agreements, negotiations, correspondence, understandings and communications among the parties, whether written or oral, respecting the subject matter hereof.
