Mr. Michael W. Nall

Chief Executive Officer and President

Biocept, Inc.

5810 Nancy Ridge Drive

San Diego, CA 92121

 

Dear Mr. Nall:

 

This letter (the “Agreement”) constitutes the agreement between Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), Dawson James Securities, Inc. (“DJ” and together with Maxim, the “Placement Agents”) and Biocept, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), pursuant to which the Placement Agents shall serve as the placement agents for the Company, on a “reasonable best efforts” basis, in connection with the proposed placement (the “Placement”) of common stock (the “Securities”) of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”). The terms of the Placement and the Securities shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the purchasers (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”) and nothing herein constitutes that the Placement Agents would have the power or authority to bind the Company or any Purchaser or an obligation for the Company to issue any Securities or complete the Placement. This Agreement and the documents executed and delivered by the Company and the Purchasers in connection with the Placement, including but not limited to the Purchase Agreement (as defined below) shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.” The date of the closing of the Placement shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”  The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agents’ obligations hereunder are on a reasonable best efforts basis only and that the execution of this Agreement does not constitute a commitment by the Placement Agents to purchase the Securities and does not ensure the successful placement of the Securities or any portion thereof or the success of the Placement Agents’ with respect to securing any other financing on behalf of the Company. Following the prior written consent of the Company, the Placement Agents may retain other brokers or dealers to act as sub-agents or selected-dealers on its behalf in connection with the Placement.  The sale of the Securities to any Purchaser will be evidenced by a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and such Purchaser in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Placement Agents.  Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.  Prior to the signing of any Purchase Agreement, officers of the Company will be available to answer inquiries from prospective Purchasers.

 

SECTION 1.REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY; COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. 

 

A.Representations of the Company.  Each of the representations and warranties (together with any related disclosure schedules thereto) and covenants made by the Company to the Purchasers in the Purchase Agreement in connection with the Placement is hereby incorporated herein by reference into this Agreement (as though fully restated herein) and is, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, hereby made to, and in favor of, the Placement Agents. In addition to the foregoing, the Company represents and warrants that:

 

1.The Company has prepared and filed with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-224946), and amendments thereto, and related preliminary prospectuses, for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Securities, which registration statement, as so amended (including post-effective amendments, if any) 

1

became effective on May 24, 2018.  At the time of such filing, the Company met the requirements of Form S-3 under the Securities Act. Such registration statement meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act and complies with said Rule. The Company will file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations (the “Rules and Regulations”) of the Commission promulgated thereunder, a supplement to the form of prospectus included in such registration statement relating to the placement of the Securities and the plan of distribution thereof and has advised the Placement Agents of all further information (financial and other) with respect to the Company required to be set forth therein. Such registration statement, including the exhibits thereto, as amended at the date of this Agreement, is hereinafter called the “Registration Statement”; such prospectus in the form in which it appears in the Registration Statement is hereinafter called the “Base Prospectus”; and the supplemented form of prospectus, in the form in which it will be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (including the Base Prospectus as so supplemented) is hereinafter called the “Prospectus Supplement.” Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”) pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the Exchange Act on or before the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be; and any reference in this Agreement to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference. All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included,” “described,” “referenced,” “set forth” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the use of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement has been issued, and no proceeding for any such purpose is pending or has been initiated or, to the Company's knowledge, is threatened by the Commission. For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act and the “Time of Sale Prospectus” means the preliminary prospectus, if any, together with the free writing prospectuses, if any, used in connection with the Placement, including any documents incorporated by reference therein.

 

2.The Registration Statement (and any further documents to be filed with the Commission) contains all exhibits and schedules as required by the Securities Act. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time it became effective, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations and did not and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, each as of its respective date, comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations. Each of the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, as amended or supplemented, did not and will not contain as of the date thereof any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Incorporated Documents, when they were filed with the Commission, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations, and none of such documents, when they were filed with the Commission, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (with respect to Incorporated Documents incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement), in the light of the 

2

circumstances under which they were made not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, when such documents are filed with the Commission, will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable Rules and Regulations, as applicable, and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement reflecting any facts or events arising after the date thereof which represent, individually or in the aggregate, a fundamental change in the information set forth therein is required to be filed with the Commission. There are no documents required to be filed with the Commission in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby that (x) have not been filed as required pursuant to the Securities Act or (y) will not be filed within the requisite time period. There are no contracts or other documents required to be described in the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, or to be filed as exhibits or schedules to the Registration Statement, which (x) have not been described or filed as required or (y) will not be filed within the requisite time period.

 

3.The Company is eligible to use free writing prospectuses in connection with the Placement pursuant to Rules 164 and 433 under the Securities Act. Any free writing prospectus that the Company is required to file pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act has been, or will be, filed with the Commission in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Each free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act or that was prepared by or behalf of or used by the Company complies or will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Company will not, without the prior consent of the Placement Agents, prepare, use or refer to, any free writing prospectus.

 

4.There are no affiliations with any FINRA member firm among the Company's officers, directors or, to the knowledge of the Company, any five percent (5.0%) or greater stockholder of the Company, except as set forth in the Registration Statement and SEC Reports.

 

B.Covenants of the Company. The Company has delivered, or will as promptly as practicable deliver, to the Placement Agents complete conformed copies of the Registration Statement and of each consent and certificate of experts, as applicable, filed as a part thereof, and conformed copies of the Registration Statement (without exhibits), the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, as amended or supplemented, in such quantities and at such places as the Placement Agent reasonably requests. Neither the Company nor any of its directors and officers has distributed and none of them will distribute, prior to the Closing Date, any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities pursuant to the Placement other than the Base Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Registration Statement, copies of the documents incorporated by reference therein and any other materials permitted by the Securities Act.

 

SECTION 2.       REPRESENTATIONS OF THE PLACEMENT AGENTS. Each of the Placement Agents, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants that it (i) is a member in good standing of FINRA, (ii) is registered as a broker/dealer under the Exchange Act, (iii) is licensed as a broker/dealer under the laws of the States applicable to the offers and sales of the Securities by such Placement Agent, (iv) is and will be a body corporate validly existing under the laws of its place of incorporation, and (v) has full power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. Each Placement Agent will immediately notify the Company in writing of any change in its status as such. Each of the Placement Agents, severally and not jointly, covenants that it will use its reasonable best efforts to conduct the Placement hereunder in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and the requirements of applicable law.  

3

 

SECTION 3.        COMPENSATION.  In consideration of the services to be provided for hereunder, the Company shall pay to the Placement Agents or their respective designees their pro rata portion (based on the Securities placed) of the following compensation with respect to the Securities which they are placing:

 

A.A cash fee (the “Cash Fee”) equal to an aggregate of six and one-half percent (6.5%) of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Placement, which Cash Fee is payable eighty percent (80%) to Maxim and twenty percent (20%) to DJ.  The Cash Fee shall be paid at the Closing of the Placement. 

 

B.Subject to compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(D), the Company also agrees to reimburse the Placement Agents for all travel and other out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs and disbursements of its legal counsel, in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $50,000. The Company will reimburse Placement Agents directly out of the Closing of the Placement.  In the event this Agreement shall terminate prior to the consummation of the Placement, the Placement Agents shall be entitled to reimbursement for actual expenses; provided, however, such expenses shall not exceed $25,000.  

 

C.Each Placement Agent reserves the right to reduce any item of its compensation or adjust the terms thereof as specified herein in the event that a determination shall be made by FINRA to the effect that such Placement Agent’s aggregate compensation is in excess of FINRA Rules or that the terms thereof require adjustment.

 

SECTION 4.       INDEMNIFICATION. The Company agrees to the indemnification and other agreements set forth in the Indemnification Provisions (the “Indemnification”) attached hereto as Addendum A, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference and shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 5.       ENGAGEMENT TERM. The Placement Agents’ engagement hereunder shall be until the earlier of (i) the final closing date of the Placement and (ii) the date a party terminates the engagement according to the terms of the next sentence (such date, the “Termination Date” and the period of time during which this Agreement remains in effect is referred to herein as the “Term”).  After an initial period of three (3) month(s) from the date hereof, the engagement may be terminated at any time by either party upon 10 days written notice to the other party, effective upon receipt of written notice to that effect by the other party. If the Company elects to terminate this Agreement for any reason even though the Placement Agents were prepared to proceed with the Placement reasonably within the intent of this Agreement, and if within six (6) months following such termination, the Company completes any financing of equity, equity-linked or debt or other capital raising activity of the Company (other than the exercise by any person or entity of any options, warrants or other convertible securities) with any of the investors contacted by Placement Agents during the term of this Agreement, then the Company will pay the Placement Agents upon the closing of such financing the compensation set forth in Section 3 herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions concerning the Company’s obligation to pay any fees actually earned pursuant to Section 3 hereof and the provisions concerning confidentiality, indemnification and contribution contained herein and the Company’s obligations contained in the Indemnification Provisions will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the completion of the Placement, all fees due to the Placement Agents shall be paid by the Company to the Placement Agents on or before the Termination Date (in the event such fees are earned or owed as of the Termination Date). The Placement Agents each agree, severally and not jointly, not to use any confidential information concerning the Company provided to the Placement Agents by the Company for any purposes other than those contemplated under this Agreement. 

 

4

SECTION 6.      PLACEMENT AGENT INFORMATION. The Company agrees that any information or advice rendered by the Placement Agents in connection with this engagement is for the confidential use of the Company only in their evaluation of the Placement and, except as otherwise required by law, the Company will not disclose or otherwise refer to the advice or information in any manner without the Placement Agents’ prior written consent.

 

SECTION 7.       NO FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP. This Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as creating rights enforceable by any person or entity not a party hereto, except those entitled hereto by virtue of the Indemnification Provisions hereof. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Placement Agent is not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary of the Company and shall have no duties or liabilities to the equity holders or the creditors of the Company or any other person by virtue of this Agreement or the retention of such Placement Agent hereunder, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

 

SECTION 8.       CLOSING. The obligations of the Placement Agents, and the closing of the sale of the Securities hereunder are subject to the accuracy, when made and on the Closing Date, of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company and its Subsidiaries contained herein and in the Purchase Agreement, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company and its Subsidiaries of their obligations hereunder, and to each of the following additional terms and conditions, except as otherwise disclosed to and acknowledged and waived by the Placement Agent by the Company:

 

A.No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been initiated or threatened by the Commission, and any request for additional information on the part of the Commission (to be included in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or otherwise) shall have been complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of the Placement Agents. Any filings required to be made by the Company in connection with the Placement shall have been timely filed with the Commission.

 

B.The Placement Agents shall not have discovered and disclosed to the Company on or prior to the Closing Date that the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement or any amendment or supplement thereto contains an untrue statement of a fact which, in the opinion of counsel for the Placement Agents, is material or omits to state any fact which, in the opinion of such counsel, is material and is required to be stated therein or is necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

 

C.All corporate proceedings and other legal matters incident to the authorization, form, execution, delivery and validity of each of this Agreement, the Securities, the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement and all other legal matters relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be reasonably satisfactory in all material respects to counsel for the Placement Agents, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel all documents and information that they may reasonably request to enable them to pass upon such matters.

 

D.The Placement Agents shall have received from outside counsel to the Company such counsel’s written opinions, addressed to the Placement Agents and the Purchasers and dated as of the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Placement Agents.

 

E.On the date of this Agreement and on the Closing Date, the Placement Agents shall have received a “comfort” letter from Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C as of each such date, addressed to each of the Placement Agents and in form and substance satisfactory in all respects to the Placement Agents and Placement Agents’ counsel. 

 

5

F.On the Closing Date, Placement Agents shall have received a certificate of the chief executive officer of the Company, dated, as applicable, as of the date of such Closing, to the effect that, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the applicable date, the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and in the Purchase Agreement were and are accurate in all material respects, except for such changes as are contemplated by this Agreement and except as to representations and warranties that were expressly limited to a state of facts existing at a time prior to the applicable Closing Date, and that, as of the applicable date, the obligations to be performed by the Company hereunder on or prior thereto have been fully performed in all material respects.

 

G.On the Closing Date, Placement Agents shall have received a certificate of the Secretary of the Company, dated, as applicable, as of the date of such Closing, certifying to the organizational documents, good standing in the state of incorporation of the Company and board resolutions relating to the Placement of the Securities from the Company.

 

H.Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) shall have sustained since the date of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, any loss or interference with its business from fire, explosion, flood, terrorist act or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree, otherwise than as set forth in or contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, (ii) since such date there shall not have been any change in the capital stock or long-term debt of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the business, general affairs, management, financial position, stockholders' equity, results of operations or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, otherwise than as set forth in or contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, and (iii) since such date there shall not have been any inquiries by the Commission, FINRA or any other regulatory body regarding the Company’s use of blockchain, IOT, cloud analytics, machine learning or other similar technologies, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii), is, in the judgment of the Placement Agents, so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by the Base Prospectus, Time of Sale Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement.

 

I.The Common Stock is registered under the Exchange Act and, as of the Closing Date, the Securities shall be listed and admitted and authorized for trading on the Trading Market or other applicable U.S. national exchange and satisfactory evidence of such action shall have been provided to the Placement Agents. The Company shall have taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or delisting or suspending from trading the Common Stock from the Trading Market or other applicable U.S. national exchange, nor has the Company received any information suggesting that the Commission or the Trading Market or other U.S. applicable national exchange is contemplating terminating such registration or listing.

6

 

L.The Company shall have entered into a Purchase Agreement with each of the Purchasers and such agreements shall be in full force and effect and shall contain representations, warranties and covenants of the Company as agreed between the Company and the Purchasers.

N.Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Placement Agents such further information, certificates and documents as the Placement Agents may reasonably request.

 

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 8 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement, or if any of the certificates, opinions, written statements or letters furnished to the Placement Agents or to Placement Agents’ counsel pursuant to this Section 8 shall not be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Placement Agents and to Placement Agents’ counsel, all obligations of the Placement Agents hereunder may be cancelled by the Placement Agents at, or at any time prior to, the consummation of the Closing. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or orally. Any such oral notice shall be confirmed promptly thereafter in writing.  

 

SECTION 9.     RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. For the avoidance of doubt, the Placement Agents shall continue to be entitled to the terms and conditions of the right of first refusal as granted on September 20, 2018 and set forth in Section 9 of the placement agency agreement dated September 20, 2018 by and among Maxim, DJ and the Company.

 

SECTION 10.     GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely in such State. This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any right to trial by jury with respect to any dispute arising under this Agreement or any transaction or conduct in connection herewith is waived. Any dispute arising under this Agreement may be brought into the courts of the State of New York or into the Federal Court located in New York, New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of aforesaid courts. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by delivering a copy thereof via overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of a Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorney's fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding. 

  

SECTION 11.     ENTIRE AGREEMENT/MISC. This Agreement (including the attached Indemnification Provisions) embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, relating to the subject matter hereof. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, such determination 

7

will not affect such provision in any other respect or any other provision of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. This Agreement may not be amended or otherwise modified or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by both Placement Agents and the Company. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the closing of the Placement and delivery of the Securities. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or a .pdf format file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or .pdf signature page were an original thereof. 

 

SECTION 12.CONFIDENTIALITY.  Each of the Placement Agents, severally and not jointly, (i) will keep the Confidential Information (as such term is defined below) confidential and will not (except as required by applicable law or stock exchange requirement, regulation or legal process (“Legal Requirement”)), without the Company’s prior written consent, disclose to any person any Confidential Information, and (ii) will not use any Confidential Information other than in connection with the Placement.  The Placement Agents further agree, severally and not jointly, to disclose the Confidential Information only to its Representatives (as such term is defined below) who need to know the Confidential Information for the purpose of the Placement, and who are informed by the Placement Agents of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information. The term “Confidential Information” shall mean, all confidential, proprietary and non-public information (whether written, oral or electronic communications) furnished by the Company to a Placement Agent or its Representatives in connection with such Placement Agent’s evaluation of the Placement. The term “Confidential Information” will not, however, include information which (i) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by a Placement Agent or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement, (ii) is or becomes available to a Placement Agent or any of its Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a third-party, (iii) is known to a Placement Agent or any of its Representatives prior to disclosure by the Company or any of its Representatives, or (iv) is or has been independently developed by a Placement Agent and/or the Representatives without use of any Confidential Information furnished to it by the Company. The term “Representatives” shall mean each Placement Agent’s directors, board committees, officers, employees, financial advisors, attorneys and accountants. This provision shall be in full force until the earlier of (a) the date that the Confidential Information ceases to be confidential and (b) two years from the date hereof.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, in the event that the Placement Agents or any of their respective Representatives are required by Legal Requirement to disclose any of the Confidential Information, such Placement Agent and their respective Representatives will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which such Placement Agent or their respective Representative, as applicable, is required to disclose by Legal Requirement as advised by counsel, and will use reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information so disclosed.

SECTION 13.     NOTICES. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is sent to the email address specified on the signature pages attached hereto prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a business day, (b) the next business day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is sent to the email address on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a business day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any business day, (c) the third business day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. internationally recognized air courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages hereto.

SECTION 14.Press Announcements. The Company agrees that the Placement Agents shall, from and after any Closing, have the right to reference the Placement and the Placement Agents’ role in connection therewith in the Placement Agents’ marketing materials and on its website and to place advertisements in financial and other newspapers and journals, in each case at its own expense.

ADDENDUM A

INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS

 

 In connection with the engagement of Maxim Group LLC and Dawson James Securities, Inc. (the “Lead Managers”) by Biocept, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to a placement agency agreement dated as of the date hereof, between the Company and the Lead Managers, as it may be amended from time to time in writing (the “Agreement”), the Company hereby agrees as follows: 

 

1.To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify the Lead Managers and each of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees and controlling persons (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) against all losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities, as the same are incurred (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), relating to or arising out of its activities hereunder or pursuant to the Agreement, except, with regard to the Lead Managers, to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) are found in a final judgment (not subject to appeal) by a court of law to have resulted primarily and directly from the Lead Managers’ willful misconduct or gross negligence in performing the services described herein, as the case may be. 

 

2.Promptly after receipt by the Lead Managers of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which the Lead Managers are entitled to indemnity hereunder, the Lead Managers will notify the Company in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action or proceeding, and the Company will assume the defense of such action or proceeding and will employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Managers and will pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Lead Managers will be entitled to employ counsel separate from counsel for the Company and from any other party in such action if counsel for the Lead Managers reasonably determines that it would be inappropriate under the applicable rules of professional responsibility for the same counsel to represent both the Company and the Lead Managers. In such event, the reasonable fees and disbursements of no more than one such separate counsel will be paid by the Company. The Company will have the exclusive right to settle the claim or proceeding provided that the Company will not settle any such claim, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Lead Managers, which will not be unreasonably withheld. 

 

3.The Company agrees to notify the Lead Managers promptly of the assertion against it or any other person of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding relating to a transaction contemplated by the Agreement. 

 

4.If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to the Lead Managers or insufficient to hold the Lead Managers harmless, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Lead Managers, as the case may be, as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand, and the Lead Managers on the other, but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Lead Managers on the other that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The amounts paid or payable by a party in respect of losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees and expenses incurred in defending any litigation, proceeding or other action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, the Lead Managers’ share of the liability hereunder shall not be in excess of the amount of fees actually received, or to be received, by the Lead Managers under the Agreement (excluding any amounts received as reimbursement of expenses incurred by the Lead Managers). 

 

5.These Indemnification Provisions shall remain in full force and effect whether or not the transaction contemplated by the Agreement is completed and shall survive the termination of the 

 

 

Agreement, and shall be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have to any indemnified party under the Agreement or otherwise.

“Section 4.08. Subsidiary Guarantees. If any Subsidiary of the Partnership that is not then a Subsidiary
Guarantor becomes a guarantor or co-obligor of any Funded Debt of the Partnership, in either case after the Issue Date, then the Partnership shall cause such Subsidiary to promptly execute and deliver a
supplemental Indenture, substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the Ninth Supplemental Indenture, providing for the Guarantee of the payment of the Notes pursuant to Article XIV hereof. 

Section 4.09. Limitations on Liens. The Partnership will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, create, assume,
incur or suffer to exist any Lien upon any Principal Property or upon any capital stock of any Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned or leased on the date of this Indenture or thereafter acquired, to secure any Debt of the Partnership or any other
Person (other than the Debt Securities issued hereunder), without in any such case making effective provision whereby all of the Debt Securities Outstanding hereunder shall be secured equally and ratably with, or prior to, such Debt so long as such
Debt shall be so secured. This restriction shall not apply to or prevent the creation or existence of: 

(a)    any Lien on any property or assets of the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary in existence on
the Issue Date or created pursuant to an “after-acquired property” clause or similar term in existence on the Issue Date in any mortgage, pledge agreement, security agreement or other similar instrument applicable to the Partnership or any
Restricted Subsidiary and in existence on the Issue Date; 

  
 6 

 (b)    any Lien on any property or assets created at the
time of acquisition of such property or assets by the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary or within one year after such time to secure all or a portion of the purchase price for such property or assets or Debt incurred to finance such purchase
price, whether such Debt was incurred prior to, at the time of or within one year of such acquisition; 

(c)    any Lien on any property or assets existing thereon at the time of the acquisition thereof by the
Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary (whether or not the obligations secured thereby are assumed by the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary), provided that such Lien only encumbers the property or assets so acquired; 

(d)    any Lien on any property or assets of a Person existing thereon at the time such Person becomes a
Restricted Subsidiary by acquisition, merger or otherwise, provided that such Lien is not incurred in anticipation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary; 

(e)    any Lien on any property or assets to secure all or part of the cost of construction, development,
repair or improvements thereon or to secure Debt incurred prior to, at the time of, or within one year after completion of such construction, development, repair or improvements or the commencement of full operations thereof (whichever is later), to
provide funds for any such purpose; 
 (f)    any Lien in favor of the Partnership or any Restricted
Subsidiary; 
 (g)    any Lien created or assumed by the Partnership or any Restricted Subsidiary in
connection with the issuance of Debt the interest on which is excludable from gross income of the holder of such Debt pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor statute, for the purpose of financing, in whole or in
part, the acquisition or construction of property or assets to be used by the Partnership or any Subsidiary; 

(h)    Permitted Liens; 

(i)    any Lien on any additions, improvements, replacements, repairs, fixtures, appurtenances or component
parts thereof, attaching to or required to be attached to property or assets pursuant to the terms of any mortgage, pledge agreement, security agreement or other similar instrument, creating a Lien upon such property or assets permitted by Clauses
(a) through (h), inclusive, of this Section; or 
 (j)    any extension, renewal, refinancing,
refunding or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals, refinancings, refundings or replacements) of any Lien, in whole or in part, that is referred to in Clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section, or of any Debt secured
thereby; provided, however, that the principal amount of Debt secured thereby shall not exceed the greater of (1) the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal, refinancing, refunding or replacement

  
 7 

 
(plus the aggregate amount of premiums, other payments, costs and expenses required to be paid or incurred in connection with such extension, renewal, refinancing, refunding or replacement) and
(2) the maximum committed principal amount of Debt so secured at such time; provided further, however, that such extension, renewal, refinancing, refunding or replacement shall be limited to all or a part of the property or assets (including
improvements, alterations and repairs on such property or assets) subject to the Lien so extended, renewed, refinanced, refunded or replaced (plus improvements, alterations and repairs on such property or assets). 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Partnership may, and may permit any Subsidiary to, create,
assume, incur or suffer to exist any Lien upon any Principal Property or capital stock of a Restricted Subsidiary to secure Debt of the Partnership or any other Person (other than the Debt Securities) that is not excepted by Clauses (a) through
(j), inclusive, of this Section without securing the Debt Securities issued hereunder, provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Debt then outstanding secured by such Lien and all other Liens not excepted by Clauses (a) through (j),
inclusive, of this Section, together with all net sale proceeds from Sale-Leaseback Transactions (excluding Sale-Leaseback Transactions permitted by Clauses (a) through (d), inclusive, of Section 4.10), does not exceed at any one time 15%
of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets. 
 Section 4.10. Restriction of Sale-Leaseback Transaction. The Partnership
will not, nor will it permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in a Sale-Leaseback Transaction, unless: 

(a)    the Sale-Leaseback Transaction occurs within one year from the date of acquisition of the Principal
Property subject thereto or the date of the completion of construction or commencement of full operations on such Principal Property, whichever is later; 

(b)     the Sale-Leaseback Transaction involves a lease for a period, including renewals, of not more than
three years; 
 (c)    the Partnership or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled under
Section 4.09 to incur Debt secured by a Lien on the Principal Property subject to the Sale-Leaseback Transaction in a principal amount equal to or exceeding the net sale proceeds from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably
securing the Debt Securities; or 
 (d)    the Partnership or such Restricted Subsidiary, within a one-year period after such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, applies or causes to be applied an amount not less than the net sale proceeds from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction to (1) the prepayment, repayment,
redemption or retirement of any unsubordinated Funded Debt of the Partnership or any Funded Debt of a Subsidiary of the Partnership, or (2) investment in another Principal Property. 

  
 8 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Partnership
may, and may permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, effect any Sale-Leaseback Transaction that is not excepted by Clauses (a) through (d), inclusive, of this Section, provided that the net sale proceeds from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction,
together with the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Debt (other than the Debt Securities) secured by Liens upon Principal Properties not excepted by Clauses (a) through (j), inclusive, of Section 4.09, do not exceed at any one
time 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

1.    Interest. Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the

The Issuer shall pay interest semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each such year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest
on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance, January 18, 2019; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if

	2 	 To be included only if the Note is issued in global form. 

  
 Exhibit A-2 

 2.    Method of Payment. The Issuer shall pay interest on the
Notes (except Defaulted Interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest, January 15 and July 15, next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such
Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.17 of the Original Indenture with respect to Defaulted Interest, and the Issuer shall pay principal (and premium, if any) of
the Notes upon surrender thereof to the Trustee or a paying agent on or after the Stated Maturity thereof. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for such purpose
in New York, New York (which initially is 100 Wall Street, Suite 1600, New York, New York 10005, Attn: Global Corporate Trust Services), or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their
addresses set forth in the Debt Security Register, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, (a) each Global Security and
(b) all other Notes aggregating at least $1,000,000 in principal amount the Holder of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the paying agent on or prior to the applicable record date. Such payment shall be in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

3.    Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall
act as paying agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any paying agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Partnership may act in any such capacity. 

4.    Indenture. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of August 11, 2010 (the
“Original Indenture”), as amended and supplemented by the Ninth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 18, 2019 (the “Ninth Supplemental Indenture,” and, together with the Original Indenture
the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S.C.
§§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a complete statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the
Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are the obligation of the Issuer, initially issued in the aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million. The Issuer may issue an unlimited aggregate principal
amount of Additional Notes under the Indenture. Any such Additional Notes that are actually issued shall be treated as issued and outstanding Notes (and as the same series with the same terms (except for the issue date of such Additional Notes, the
public offering price of such Additional Notes and, if applicable, the date for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such Additional Notes) as the initial Notes for the purposes indicated in Section 3.02 of the Ninth
Supplemental Indenture). Initially, the Notes are not guaranteed, but in the future they may be guaranteed by one or more Subsidiary Guarantors on the conditions and subject to the terms provided in Section 4.08 (which is set forth in
Section 5.01 of the Ninth Supplemental Indenture) and Article XIV of the Original Indenture. 

5.    Optional Redemption. (a) At any time prior to August 1, 2048 (the date that is six months prior to
the Stated Maturity), at its option, the Issuer may choose to redeem all or any 

  
 Exhibit A-3 

 
portion of the Notes, at once or from time to time, at a redemption price determined by the Issuer equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or
(ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if the Notes matured on August 1, 2048, but for the redemption (exclusive of interest accrued to
such Redemption Date), discounted to such Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as
defined below) plus 30 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to such Redemption Date. 

(b)    At any time on or after August 1, 2048 (the date that is six months prior to the Stated Maturity), at its
option, the Issuer may choose to redeem all or any portion of the Notes, at once or from time to time, at a redemption price determined by the Issuer equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to such Redemption Date. 
 For purposes of determining the redemption price, the following definitions shall apply: 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security or securities selected by the Independent Investment
Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed (assuming, for this purpose, that the notes matured on August 1, 2048) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in
accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed. 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, for any Redemption Date, (1) the average of five Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of all of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, the average of all such quotations. 
 “Independent Investment Banker” means J.P. Morgan Securities LLC,
Mizuho Securities USA LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. as specified by the Partnership, or any of their respective successor firms, or if each such firm is unwilling or unable to
select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Partnership. 

“Primary Treasury Dealer” means a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of (1) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC or any of its successors;
(2) Mizuho Securities USA LLC or any of its successors; (3) RBC Capital Markets, LLC or any of its successors; (4) a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc.; (5) a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by
U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc.; and (6) one other Primary Treasury Dealer (or its affiliates and successors) that the Issuer specifies from time to time, provided that if any of the Reference Treasury Dealers specifically named above resigns,
its successor dealer shall be a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Issuer. 

  
 Exhibit A-4 

 “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, for each Reference
Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and ask prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such
Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date for the notes being redeemed. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the yield, under the heading which represents the
average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and
which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity
is within three months before or after the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be
interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week in which the calculation date falls (or in the immediately
preceding week if the calculation date falls on any day prior to the usual publication date for such release) or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue,
calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding
the Redemption Date. Any weekly average yields calculated by interpolation or extrapolation will be rounded to the nearest 1/100th of 1%, with any figure of 1/200th of 1% or above being rounded upward. 

6.    Mandatory Redemption. The Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments
with respect to the Notes or to repurchase them at the option of the Holders. 
 7.    Notice of Redemption.
Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be
redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the Redemption Date interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption and with respect
to which the redemption price has been paid. 
 8.    Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in
registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may
require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes or other governmental charges imposed in relation thereto. 

  
 Exhibit A-5 

 9.    Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note
shall be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 10.    Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Indenture may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the
Indenture relating to the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes; provided, with respect to amending the Original Indenture as to matters that
require the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Debt Securities of each series that would be affected by such amendment, the Notes and any Additional Notes shall vote together as a single class
with any future series of the Partnership’s senior Debt Securities (unless otherwise provided in the prospectus relating to such future series of senior Debt Securities) and any other series of the Partnership’s senior Debt Securities then
Outstanding which are entitled by their terms to vote on the amendment in question. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture may be amended or supplemented for any of the purposes set forth in Section 9.01 of the Indenture,
including to provide for the assumption of the Issuer’s obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation of the Issuer or sale of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets, to add to the covenants of the
Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, to cure any ambiguity or omission or to correct any defect or inconsistency, to permit the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, to add or release Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to the terms of the
Indenture, to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights under the Indenture of any Holder of the Notes, to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of the Indenture in respect of one or more series of Debt Securities in
certain circumstances, to evidence or provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture of a successor or separate Trustee or to establish the form or terms of any other series of Debt Securities. 

11.    Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default with respect to the Notes include: (i) default for 30 days in
the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes when due at Stated Maturity, upon redemption or otherwise; (iii) failure by the Partnership or any Subsidiary
Guarantor, if applicable, to comply for 60 days after notice with any of its other covenants or agreements in the Indenture relating to the Notes; (iv) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Issuer or, if
and so long as the Notes are guaranteed by a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Subsidiary Guarantor; (v) any Guarantee ceasing to be in full force and effect or held in any judicial proceeding to be null and void, or any Subsidiary Guarantor denying
or disaffirming its obligations under the Indenture or its Guarantee, if and so long as the Notes are guaranteed by a Subsidiary Guarantor; (vi) default by the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries, if applicable, in the payment at the Stated
Maturity, after the expiration of any applicable grace period, of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Debt then outstanding having a principal amount in excess of the greater of $50.0 million or 5% of the Issuer’s total
consolidated partners’ capital, or acceleration of any Debt having a principal amount in excess of such amount so that it becomes due and payable prior to its Stated Maturity and such acceleration is not rescinded within 60 days after notice;
(vii) a final judgment or order for the payment of money in excess of the greater of $50.0 million or 5% of the Issuer’s total consolidated partners’ capital (in each case, net of applicable insurance coverage) having been

  
 Exhibit A-6 

 
rendered against the Partnership or any Subsidiary and such judgment or order continues unsatisfied and unstayed for a period of 60 days and (viii) the failure of the General Partner to
comply with certain bankruptcy related provisions of its limited liability company agreement or the amendment or modification of such provisions. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all Outstanding
Notes shall become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then Outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium,
if any, or interest) if the Trustee determines in good faith that withholding notice is in the Holders’ interests. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding by notice to the Trustee may
on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Notes
or an Event of Default relating to a provision of the Indenture that cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected thereby. The Partnership is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the
Indenture, and the Partnership is required within 30 days after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default and certain additional information. 

12.    Trustee Dealings with Issuer. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to,
accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 

13.    Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or
an authenticating agent. 
 14.    Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or
an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

 15.    CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security
Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP and corresponding ISIN numbers to be printed on the Notes, and the Trustee may use CUSIP and corresponding ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is
made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
