Hansen Medical, Inc. (the Company) develops, manufactures and markets a new generation of medical robotics designed for accurate
positioning, manipulation and stable control of catheters and catheter-based technologies. The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 23, 2002. The Company is headquartered in Mountain View, California. In March 2007,
the Company established Hansen Medical UK Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary located in the United Kingdom and, in May 2007, the Company established Hansen Medical, GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary located in Germany. Both subsidiaries are engaged in
marketing the Companys products in Europe.
Need to Raise Additional Capital
From inception to September 30, 2014, the Company has incurred losses totaling approximately $395.0 million and has not generated positive
cash flows from operations. The Company expects such losses to continue through at least the year ending December 31, 2014 as it continues to commercialize its technologies and develop new applications and technologies. The Company faces
uncertainty related to the commercialization of its Magellan Robotic System and its projected revenue is heavily dependent on a successful commercialization of this system. The Company anticipates that its existing cash, cash equivalents,
short-term investment and restricted cash balances as of September 30, 2014 and the estimated amounts received through the sale of its products and services will not be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve
months. In order to continue operations, the Company will need to raise additional funding and may attempt to do so at any time by selling equity or debt securities, licensing core or non-core intellectual property assets, entering into future
research and development funding arrangements, refinancing or restructuring existing debt arrangements or entering into a credit facility in order to meet its continuing cash needs. The Company cannot guarantee that future equity or debt financing
or credit facilities will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to it, if at all, nor can the Company guarantee that it will be able to license core or non-core intellectual property assets or enter into future research and development
funding arrangements. If such financing, licensing, funding or credit arrangements do not meet the Companys current and longer term needs or if future sales do not meet the Companys current forecast, the Company may be required to extend
its existing cash and liquidity by adopting cost-cutting measures, including reductions in its work force, reducing the scope of, delaying or eliminating some or all of its planned research, development and commercialization activities and/or
reducing marketing, customer support or other resources devoted to the Companys products. Any of these factors could harm the Companys financial condition. Failure to meet projected revenue levels, raise additional funding or manage
spending may adversely impact the Companys ability to achieve its long term intended business objectives. The Company will continue to evaluate its financial condition based upon changing future economic conditions and the achievement of
estimated revenue, and will consider the implementation of cost reductions if and as circumstances warrant.
Going Concern
These condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of
assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2014, the Companys cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash balances were $41.5 million. The Company incurred a net loss
of $42.3 million and negative cash flows from operations of $32.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. In addition, the Company is also subject to minimum liquidity requirements under its existing borrowing arrangements with
White Oak Global Advisors, LLC which require the Company to maintain $15.0 million in liquidity at all times, consisting of at least $13.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments, of which $5.0 million is required to be restricted subject
to lenders control, and $2.0 million in accounts receivable. Based on the Companys current operating projections, the Company does not have sufficient liquidity to meet its anticipated cash requirements through the next twelve months.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. In order to continue its operations, the Company will need to either obtain sufficient additional financing or adopt cost-cutting measures to
sufficiently extend its cash and liquidity. There can be no assurance, however, that such a financing will be successfully completed on terms acceptable to the Company or that the Company can implement cost cutting measures sufficient to extend its
cash and liquidity. Management is currently considering various financing alternatives. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the condensed consolidated financial statements) have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and therefore do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP and the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) for annual financial statements. The Companys fiscal year ends on December 31. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 was
derived from audited financial statements. In the opinion of the Companys management, these unaudited statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2013 as filed with the SEC.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates relate to the recognition of revenue, the evaluation of customer credit risk, the valuation of investments, inventory valuations, the determination of impairment of
assets, stock-based compensation, loss contingencies and the valuation of its warrants, deferred tax assets, among others. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Companys revenues are primarily derived from the sale of the Sensei system and the Magellan Robotic System and the associated
catheters as well as the sale of customer service contracts, which includes post-contract customer support (PCS). The Company sells its products directly to customers as well as through distributors. Under the Companys revenue
recognition policy, revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss has passed, delivery to the customer has occurred or the services have been fully rendered, the sales price is fixed or
determinable and collectability is probable.
|
|
|
Persuasive Evidence of an Arrangement. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement for sales of systems is generally determined by a sales contract signed and dated by both the customer and the Company, including
approved terms and conditions and the receipt of an approved purchase order. Evidence of an arrangement for the sale of disposable products is determined through an approved purchase order from the customer. Evidence of an arrangement for the sale
of customer service is determined through either a signed sales contract or an approved purchase order from the customer. Sales to customers are generally not subject to any performance, cancellation, termination or return rights. |
|
|
|
Systems and Disposable Products. Typically, ownership of systems, catheters and other disposable products passes to customers upon shipment, at which time delivery is deemed to be complete. |
|
|
|
Customer Service Revenue. The Company recognizes customer service revenue from the sale of its PCS contracts which includes planned and corrective maintenance services, software updates, bug fixes, and warranty.
Revenue from customer services, whether sold individually or as a separate unit of accounting in a multi-element arrangement, is deferred and amortized over the service period, which is typically one year. |
|
|
|
Multiple-element Arrangements. It is common for the sale of Sensei and Magellan systems to include multiple elements which have standalone value and qualify as separate units of accounting. These elements
commonly include the sale of the system and a product maintenance plan, in addition to installation of the system and initial training. Less commonly, these elements may include the sale of certain disposable products or other elements. For
multiple-element arrangements revenue is allocated to each element based on their relative selling prices. Relative selling prices are based first on vendor specified objective evidence (VSOE), then on third-party evidence of selling
price (TPE) when VSOE does not exist, and then on managements best estimate of the selling price (ESP) when VSOE and TPE do not exist. Because the Company has neither VSOE nor TPE for its system, the allocation of
revenue is based on ESP for the systems sold. The objective of ESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale, had the product been sold on a stand-alone basis. The Company determines ESP for its systems by considering
multiple factors, including, but not limited to, features and functionality of the system, geographies, type of customer, and market conditions. The Company regularly reviews ESP and maintains internal controls over the establishment and updates of
these estimates. |
8
|
|
|
Sales Price Fixed or Determinable. The Company assesses whether the sales price is fixed or determinable at the time of the transaction. Sales prices are documented in the executed sales contract or purchase
order received prior to shipment The Companys standard terms do not allow for contingencies, such as trial or evaluation periods, refundable orders, payments contingent upon the customer obtaining financing or other contingencies which would
impact the customers obligation. In situations where these or other contingencies are included, all related revenue is deferred until the contingency is resolved. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company began shipping systems under a limited
commercial evaluation program to allow certain strategic accounts to install and utilize systems for a limited trial period of three to six months while the purchase opportunity is being evaluated by the hospital. Systems under this program remain
the property of the Company and are recorded in inventory and a sale only occurs upon the issuance of a purchase order from the customer. |
|
|
|
Collectability. The Company assesses whether collection is probable based on a number of factors, including the customers past transaction history and credit worthiness. If collection of the sales price is
not deemed probable, the revenue is deferred and recognized at the time collection becomes probable, which is usually upon receipt of cash. The Companys sales contracts generally do not allow the customer the right of cancellation, refund or
return, except as provided under the Companys standard warranty. If such rights were allowed, all related revenues would be deferred until such rights expired. |
Significant management judgments and estimates are made in connection with the determination of revenue to be recognized and the period in
which it is recognized. If different judgments and estimates were utilized, the amount of revenue to be recognized and the period in which it is recognized could differ materially from the amounts reported.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company had three customers who constituted 15%, 14% and 13%, respectively, of the Companys accounts receivable at September 30,
2014. The Company had three customers who constituted 26%, 22%, and 10%, respectively of the Companys net accounts receivable at December 31, 2013. As of September 30, 2014, the Company has not experienced any significant losses on
its accounts receivable.
Three customers accounted for 19%, 14% and 11%, respectively of total revenues during the three months ended
September 30, 2014. One customer accounted for 18% of revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Two customers accounted for 35% and 12%, respectively of total revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2013.
One customer accounted for 16% of revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Fair Value Measurements
GAAP defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for
considering such assumptions, authoritative guidance establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1 Inputs |
|
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
Level 2 Inputs |
|
Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly. |
|
|
Level 3 Inputs |
|
Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-15,
Presentation of Financial StatementsGoing Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The ASU provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose
going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entitys ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements
are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entitys ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods
ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company has been assessing the going concern issue since 2010 on an interim and annual basis and will continue to assess whether the financial
conditions based on this new guidance have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements or footnotes.
9
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting
Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on the principle that revenue is
recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure
about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This new
guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of
ASU2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740):
Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The standard became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2014. The Company adopted this
guidance in the first quarter of 2014. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available and to minimize the use of
unobservable inputs when determining fair value. Investment instruments valued using Level 1 inputs include money market securities and certain of the corporate equity securities which were obtained by the Company as part of the Luna litigation
settlement and are currently marketable.
The Company periodically assesses whether significant facts and circumstance have arisen to
indicate that an other than temporary impairment of the fair value of any underlying investment has occurred. In fiscal year 2013, the Company determined that there was an other than temporary impairment of its investment in Luna Innovations,
or Luna, which the Company received as part of a litigation settlement entered into in January 2010 and had recorded as a corporate equity security. As such, the Company wrote down the value of that investment and recorded a loss of $0.6 million in
other expense in the consolidated statement of operations. No investments have been in an unrealized loss position for longer than twelve months.
10
Long-term Debt
The fair value of the Companys long-term debt was estimated to be $34.0 million as of September 30, 2014 and $33.1 million as of
December 31, 2013 based on an internal valuation model that utilized the then-current rates available to the Company for debt of a similar term and remaining maturity, which constitutes Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy and there
were no changes in the valuation technique used. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the fair value estimate presented herein is not necessarily indicative of the amount that
the Company or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value. See Note 8 for further information
regarding the Companys long-term debt.

Agreements with Intuitive Surgical |
In October 2012, the Company signed an updated license agreement with Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc. and Intuitive
Surgical, Inc. (collectively, Intuitive Surgical), under which Intuitive Surgical paid the Company a $20 million licensing fee, and a stock purchase agreement to sell 5,291,000 shares of the Companys common stock to Intuitive
Surgical for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million. The amendment of the license agreement is an update to the co-exclusive cross license agreement signed by the companies in 2005. Under the terms of the amended agreement, Intuitive
Surgicals existing co-exclusive rights to the Companys patent portfolio to certain non-vascular procedures have been extended to include patents filed or conceived by the Company subsequent to the original 2005 agreement up to and
including the period three years subsequent to the amendment. However, the Company has no obligations to conduct any research activities under the amendment. The Company retains the right to use its intellectual property for all clinical
applications, both vascular and non-vascular. The Company has minimum royalty obligations of $200,000 per year under the terms of its cross license agreement with Intuitive Surgical. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the
Company incurred cost in the amount of $0.04 million and $0.2 million, respectively related to the royalty obligation to Intuitive Surgical.
6. |
Agreements with Philips |
In February 2011, the Company entered, directly and through a wholly-owned subsidiary, into patent and technology license,
sublicense and purchase agreements with Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V, or Philips, to allow them to develop and commercialize the non-robotic applications of the Companys Fiber Optic Shape Sensing and Localization (FOSSL)
technology. Under the terms of the agreements, Philips has the exclusive right to develop and commercialize the FOSSL technology in the non-robotic vascular, endoluminal and orthopedic fields. Philips also receives non-exclusive rights in other
non-robotic medical device
11
fields, but not to any multi-degree of freedom robotic applications. If Philips does not meet certain specified commercialization obligations, the Company has the rights to re-acquire the
licenses granted to Philips for pre-determined payments, which payments in the aggregate would be greater than the upfront payment amounts received by the Company from Philips in connection with the agreements related to the FOSSL technology.
Also in February 2011, the Company amended its extended joint development agreement with Philips, increasing the amount of funding provided by
Philips for the development of the Vascular System and potentially extending and increasing certain royalty fees to be paid to Philips based on sales of the Companys Magellan Robotic System, subject to caps based on the amounts Philips
contributes to the development of the system. Under the amendment, the Company will be eligible to receive up to an additional $78.0 million in future payments associated with the successful commercialization by Philips or its collaborators of
products containing FOSSL technology. Approximately two-thirds of these potential future payments could arise from Philips sublicensing the FOSSL technology and approximately one-third of the potential future payments are based on
Philips royalty obligations on any of its sales of products containing the FOSSL technology. The Company would receive less than half of Philips proceeds for its sublicensing FOSSL technology, if and following Philips entering into an
applicable sublicensing transaction. Philips FOSSL-related royalty obligations are calculated on a consistent annual basis between 2014 and 2020 and arise in any year only to the extent that Philips achieves a substantial number of commercial
placements of FOSSL-enabled products in the calendar year. The Company has royalty obligations under the amended joint development agreement with Philips which provides for the payment of royalties to Philips through October 2017. Under the
terms of the agreement, the Company has no minimum obligation with Philips, the royalty obligation is based on per unit sales of the Magellan systems and vascular catheters. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company
incurred cost in the amount of $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively related to the royalty obligations to Philips.

the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred cost in the amount of $0.02 million and $0.1 million, respectively related to the royalty obligations to Mitsubishi.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation that it believes is of the type common to companies engaged in its line of business,
including commercial disputes and employment issues. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company was not involved in any pending legal proceedings that it believes could have a material adverse effect on its financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows. From time to time, the Company may pursue litigation to assert its legal right and such litigation may be costly and divert the efforts and attention of its management and technical personnel which
could adversely affect its business.

Oxford Loan
In December 2011, the Company entered into a $30.0 million loan and security agreement with Oxford Finance LLC and Silicon Valley Bank (the
Oxford Loan). Under the agreement, the Company was obligated to pay interest only payments on the Oxford Loan through June 30, 2013, following which time the Oxford Loan required interest and principal payments through
January 1, 2016. The Oxford Loan accrued interest at a stated rate of 9.45% and included an additional final interest payment of 3.95% of the original principal amount. The Oxford Loan provided for a prepayment option that allowed the Company
to prepay all of the outstanding principal balance, subject to a pre-payment fee. In connection with the Oxford Loan, the Company issued warrants to purchase 660,793 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.27 per share and
expire in December 2018.
In August 2013, the Oxford Loan was fully repaid and extinguished under the loan agreements prepayment
option. The Company paid a final interest balloon of $1.2 million plus accrued interest and a prepayment penalty. Following the repayment of the Oxford Loan, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.9 million, which included
$0.9 million prepayment penalty, $0.5 million additional end of term payment and $0.5 million unamortized discount from warrants and issuance costs.
White Oak Loan
In
July 2013, the Company executed a secured term loan agreement with White Oak Global Advisors, LLC (White Oak), as a lender and agent for several lenders. On August 23, 2013, the loan agreement was amended and restated and the loan
was funded. The amended loan agreement provides for term loan debt financing of $33.0 million with a single principal balloon payment due at maturity on December 30, 2017. Cash interest accrues at an 11.0% per annum rate and is payable
quarterly. Additionally, a 3.0% per annum payment-in-kind accrues quarterly and is accretive to the principal amount owed under the agreement. Substantially all of the proceeds from the loan were used to fully repay and extinguish the Oxford
Loan. In connection with the loan, the Company incurred costs of approximately $1.5 million including payments to the lender agent totaling $0.7 million and the placement agent totaling $0.3 million that in aggregate are accounted for as debt
issuance costs and amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan. Under the amended loan agreement, the Company is obligated to pay White Oak certain servicing, administration and monitoring fees of $32,000 annually. The Company may prepay
all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance, subject to paying a prepayment fee of 3.5% of the principal amount of the loan prepaid if the prepayment is made on or before the third anniversary of the funding of the loan or 1.0% of the
principal amount of the loan prepaid if the prepayment is made after the third anniversary and on or before the fourth anniversary of the funding of the loan. The Company is also required to make mandatory prepayments upon certain events of loss and
certain dispositions of the Companys assets as described in the amended loan agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized expense of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the
amortization of debt issuance costs related to the White Oak loan.
The loan is collateralized by substantially all of the Companys
assets then owned or thereafter acquired, other than its intellectual property, and all proceeds and products thereof. Two of the Companys wholly-owned subsidiaries, AorTx, Inc. and Hansen Medical International, Inc., have entered into
agreements to guarantee the Companys obligations under the amended loan agreement and have granted first priority security interests in their assets, excluding any of their intellectual property, to secure their guarantee obligations. Under
the amended loan agreement, neither the Company nor AorTx, Inc. and Hansen Medical International, Inc. may grant a lien on any intellectual property to third parties. The Company additionally agreed to pledge to lenders shares of each of its direct
and indirect subsidiaries as collateral for the loan. Pursuant to the loan agreement, the Company is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants and also to minimum liquidity requirements which require the Company to maintain $15.0 million
in liquidity at all times, consisting of at least $13.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments, of which $5.0 million is required to be restricted subject to lenders control, and $2.0 million in accounts receivable. The loan also
limits the Companys ability to (a) undergo certain change of control events; (b) convey, sell, lease, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any of its assets; (c) create, incur, assume, or be liable with respect to certain
indebtedness, not including, among other items, subordinated debt; (d) grant liens; (e) pay dividends and make certain other restricted payments; (f) make certain investments; (g) make payments on any subordinated debt; or
(h) enter into transactions with any of its affiliates outside of the ordinary course of business, or permit its subsidiaries to do the same. The Company is also required to make mandatory prepayments upon certain events of loss and certain
dispositions of its assets described in the amended loan agreement. In the event the Company were to violate any covenants or if White Oak has reason to believe that the Company has violated any covenants including a significant adverse event
clause, and such violations are not cured pursuant to the terms of the loan and security agreement, the Company would be in default under the loan and security agreement, which would entitle lenders to exercise their remedies, including the right to
accelerate the debt, upon which the Company may be required to repay all amounts then outstanding under the loan and security agreement. As of September 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

2013 Private Placement Transaction
On July 30, 2013, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement to sell an aggregate of 28,455,284 shares of its common
stock at a per share price of $1.23 and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 34,146,339 shares of common stock at a per warrant price of $0.125 in a private placement transaction. The warrants are comprised of the following three series: Series A
warrants exercisable for an aggregate 11,382,117 shares of common stock, with an exercise price equal to $1.23 (the Series A Warrants); Series B warrants exercisable for an aggregate 11,382,111 shares of common stock, with an exercise
price equal to $1.50 per share (the Series B Warrants); and Series C warrants exercisable for an aggregate 11,382,111 shares of common stock, with an exercise price equal to $2.00 per share (the Series C Warrants). The
financing resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $39.3 million prior to placement fees and offering costs of approximately $2.1 million. At the closing of the private placement financing, the Company entered into an investor
rights agreement with the purchasers of the shares and warrants in which the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering resale of the shares (which occurred in November 2013) and the purchasers agreed not to transact in any shares of
the Companys common stock for a one-year period following the closing, subject to certain exceptions. In the first quarter of 2014, subsequent to the receipt of regulatory approval for the new Magellan 6Fr Robotic Catheter in the U.S., Series
A warrants for 11.4 million shares of the Companys common stock were exercised for total proceeds of $14.0 million in accordance with the terms and conditions of a securities purchase agreement dated July 30, 2013. All of the Series
A Warrants were mandatorily exercised in the first quarter of 2014 pursuant to the Companys achievement of a regulatory milestone as set forth in the Series A Warrants.
2014 Warrant Exchange
On July 30, 2014, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the Exchange Agreement) with certain warrantholders to
cancel and exchange (the Exchange) an aggregate of 10,221,173 of the Companys outstanding Series B Warrants and an aggregate of 10,221,173 of the Companys outstanding Series C Warrants. In exchange, the Company issued
warrants (the Exchange Warrants) to purchase an aggregate of 26,728,369 shares of common stock. The Exchange was completed in August 2014.
The Exchange Warrants are comprised of the following two tranches: (a) Series B/C Exchange Warrants (Series B/C Exchange
Warrants) exercisable for an aggregate of 20,442,346 shares of common stock, with an exercise price equal to $1.13 per share, the NASDAQ consolidated closing bid price for the Common Stock on July 29, 2014, the last completed trading day
before the Exchange Agreement was executed (the Closing Bid Price); and (b) Series D Warrants (Series D Warrants) exercisable for an aggregate of 6,286,023 shares of common stock, with an exercise price equal to the
Closing Bid Price. The Series B/C Exchange Warrants were subject to mandatory exercise within 14 days of issuance and were exercised in August 2014, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $23.1 million. The Series D Warrants
have an exercise period of five years, and if fully exercised, would result in additional gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $7.1 million. The Series B Warrants and Series C Warrants previously carried an expiration date of August 2015.
The remaining Series B Warrants and Series C Warrants not included in the Exchange will remain outstanding until their exercise or expiration.
14
As a result of a change in the terms and conditions of the Series B and C Warrants, the transaction was treated
as a modification of the original award using the accounting guidance in ASC 718-20-35-3, this guidance implies that the entity repurchases the original instrument by issuing a new instrument of equal or greater value, incurring additional
incremental value. Incremental cost shall be measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before its terms are modified, measured based on the share price,
Black-Scholes options pricing model and other pertinent factors at that date. These variables include the Companys expected stock price volatility over the term of the award, expected term, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend rate.
The Company recorded $2.9 million warrant exchange charge in the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 based upon the difference between the fair value of the Series B and C
Warrants immediately prior to the exchange and the fair value of the newly issued Series B/C Exchange and Series D Warrants.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The
determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include the Companys expected stock price
volatility over the term of the award, expected term, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend rate. The Company estimates the expected term based on its historical experience of grants, exercise pattern and post-vesting cancellations. The
Company considered its historical volatility over the expected term and implied volatility of traded stock options in developing its estimate of volatility. The estimated grant date fair values of the employee stock options issued under the 2006
Equity Incentive Plan for the periods presented were calculated using the following assumptions:

The Companys tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $38,000, which primarily related to
foreign taxes. The Company currently has uncertain tax positions related to research and development credits. If the Company is able to eventually recognize these uncertain tax positions, all of the unrecognized benefit would reduce the
Companys effective tax rate. The Company currently has a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset which would impact the timing of the effective tax rate benefit should any of these uncertain tax positions be favorably
settled in the future.

The reclassification primarily relates to an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $0.6 million on the
Companys investment in Luna common stock as discussed in Note 3. This amount was reclassified in the quarter ended March 31, 2013, to interest and other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
quarter ended March 31, 2013.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Except for the historical information contained
herein, the matters discussed in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our condensed consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. In some cases, these statements may be identified by terminology such as may, will, should,
expects, could, intends, might, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential, or continue, or the
negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. These statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause our business results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding our strategies and expectations regarding our future revenues, cost of revenues and other expenses and losses. The
factors listed in Item 1A Risk Factors, as well as any cautionary language in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those
projected. Except as may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events after the date of this report.
Overview
The following discussion of our
financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We develop, manufacture and sell a new generation of medical robotics designed for accurate positioning, manipulation and stable control of
catheters and catheter-based technologies. Our Sensei® Robotic Catheter System, or Sensei system, is designed to allow physicians to instinctively navigate flexible catheters with solid
stability and control in electrophysiology procedures. Our Magellan Robotic System is designed to allow physicians to instinctively navigate flexible catheters in the vasculature. We believe our systems and the corresponding disposable
catheters will enable physicians to perform procedures that historically have been too difficult or time consuming to accomplish routinely with manually-controlled, hand-held catheters and catheter-based technologies, or that we believe could be
accomplished only by the most skilled physicians. We believe that our systems have the potential to benefit patients, physicians, hospitals and third-party payors by improving outcomes and permitting complex procedures to be performed
interventionally.
From inception to September 30, 2014, we have incurred losses totaling approximately $395.0 million and have not
generated positive cash flows from operations. We expect such losses to continue through at least the year ending December 31, 2014 as we continue to commercialize our technologies and develop new applications and products. We have financed our
operations primarily through the sale of public and private equity securities, the issuance of debt, partnering and the licensing of intellectual property.
We market our products in the United States primarily through a direct sales force of regional sales employees, supported by clinical account
managers who provide training, clinical support and other services to our customers. Outside the United States, we use a combination of a direct sales force and distributors to market, sell and support our products.
18
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In doing so,
we have to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. In many cases, we could reasonably have used different
accounting policies and estimates. In some cases, changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. We base our estimates on our past
experience and on other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our
financial condition or results of operations will be affected.
Our significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 2 to our
Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. There have been no significant changes to those policies during the three months ended
September 30, 2014.
Financial Overview
Revenues
Our
product revenues primarily consist of sales of Magellan Robotic Systems and Sensei systems, catheters and other disposables. Our service revenue primarily consists of system service under maintenance plans and customer training, which are typically
entered into at the time systems are sold. These maintenance service contracts have been generally renewed at the end of the service period which is typically over one year. In the third quarter of 2013, we began shipping systems under a limited
commercial evaluation program to allow certain strategic accounts to install and utilize systems for a limited trial period while the purchase opportunity is being evaluated by the hospital. Systems under this program remain our property and are
recorded in inventory, and a sale only occurs upon the issuance of a purchase order from the customer. Customers with evaluation systems must purchase catheters from us, which catheters are required for the use of our systems.

Total revenues in the third quarter of 2014 were $3.8 million compared to $5.1 million in the third quarter of
2013. Product revenue in the third quarter of 2014 included the sale of one Magellan Robotic System, one Sensei system and 714 catheters. Product revenue in the third quarter of 2013 included the sale of two Sensei systems, two Magellan Robotic
Systems, as well as monthly rental income from the conversion of a Magellan evaluation system and 790 catheters. The decrease in product revenue over the prior year period was primarily due to decrease in the number of systems and catheters sold.
Total revenues in the nine months of 2014 were $14.5 million compared to $11.4 million in the nine months of 2013. Product revenue in the
nine months of 2014 included the sale of seven Magellan Robotic Systems, two Sensei systems and 2,327 catheters. Product revenue in the nine months of 2013 included the sale of four Sensei systems, two Magellan Robotic System and 2,257 catheters.
The increase in product revenue was primarily due to an increase in number of systems and catheters sold, as well as higher average sales price (ASP) on the four systems sold in the EMEA market.
We have experienced significant fluctuations in quarterly revenues, primarily attributable to being in the early stages of our commercial
launch and difficult general economic and capital market conditions, slower than expected macro-economic recovery and uncertainty created by the Affordable Care Act that has impacted capital purchases by healthcare providers. We expect these
fluctuations to continue through the remaining of 2014.
19
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit
Cost of revenues consists primarily of materials, direct labor including stock based compensation, depreciation, overhead costs associated with
manufacturing, training and installation costs, royalties, provisions for inventory valuation, warranty expenses and the cost associated with our post-contract customer service.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2014 was $0.7 million, or 18% of revenues, compared to $1.3 million, or
26% of revenues in the third quarter of 2013. The decrease from the prior year period was primarily attributable to a decrease in systems and catheter units sold and a decrease in royalties. Service costs increased by 42% over the same period in the
prior year due to an increase in service and repair calls volume.
Gross profit for the nine months of 2014 was $3.0 million, or 21% of
revenues, compared to $2.4 million, or 21% of revenues in the nine months of 2013. The dollar increase from the prior year period was primarily attributable to an increase in system unit volume sold. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues remained
flat due to an increase in royalties incurred associated with higher unit volume of systems sold during current year period. Service costs increased by 11% over the same period due to an increase in service and repair calls volume.
We expect that cost of revenues, both as a percentage of revenues and on a dollar basis, will continue to vary from quarter to quarter in 2014
due to, among other things, fluctuations in shipments and revenue levels, ASP, the mix of products sold, customer mix, and manufacturing levels and manufacturing yields.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Our research and development expenses primarily consist of engineering, software development, product development, quality assurance and
clinical and regulatory expenses, including costs to develop associated with testing and enhancements of our products.

Research and development expenses in the third quarter of 2014 were higher compared to same period in 2013
primarily due to $0.4 million increase in compensation related expense resulting from increase in headcount, $0.4 million increase in costs associated with development of prototype material for new product initiatives and $0.2 million incentive
accrual in 2014.
Research and development expenses in the nine months of 2014 were higher compared to same period in 2013 primarily due
to a $1.2 million increase in costs associated with our Magellan 6Fr Robotic Catheters and other product development initiatives and a $0.8 million increase in compensation related expenses, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in
depreciation expenses. We expect research and development expenses continue to increase in the future due to our continued investments in clinical trials and new product and technology development initiatives.
20
Selling, General and Administrative
Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation for executive, finance, sales, legal and administrative
personnel, including sales commissions and stock-based compensation. Other significant expenses include costs associated with attending medical conferences, professional fees for legal services (including legal services associated with our efforts
to obtain and maintain broad protection for the intellectual property related to our products) and accounting services, consulting fees and travel expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in the third quarter of 2014 compared to same period in
2013 primarily due to a $0.8 million decrease in legal expenses associated with a settlement of the securities class action lawsuit, patent filing expenses and other corporate matters and a $0.3 million decrease in stock-based compensation expenses,
partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in the salary and incentive accrual and a $0.2 million increase in sales and marketing expenses for tradeshows, advertising and promotions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased during the nine months of 2014 compared to same period in 2013 primarily due to a $1.7
million increase in salary related expenses and incentive accrual, $0.8 million increase in advertising and promotion cost related to mobile lab and other costs, $0.4 million increase in sales commissions, $0.3 million severance cost incurred and
$0.6 million increase in other general administrative expenses. These increases were partially offset by a $2.3 million decrease in legal and litigation fees related to a settlement of the class action lawsuit and $0.8 million decrease in related
stock-based compensation expenses due to executive transitions.
We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses for the
remainder of 2014 to increase moderately due to increased commissions on expected increases in sales levels, and marginal growth of our sales force compared to 2013.

Interest and other expense, net increased in the third quarter of 2014 compared to same period in 2013 due to
our new credit facility entered into in July 2013 which has higher borrowing rate.
Interest and other expense, net increased in the nine
months of 2014 compared to same period in 2013, primarily due to $0.6 million of write down of a marketable equity investment in Luna Innovations in 2013 which was obtained by the Company as part of the Luna litigation settlement, partially offset
by $0.8 million increase in interest expenses in 2014 as a result of a change in our loan lender with a higher borrowing rate.

On July 30, 2014, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with certain warrantholders to cancel
and exchange an aggregate of 20,442,346 of the Companys outstanding warrants to purchase shares of the Companys common stock. In exchange, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 26,728,369 shares of common stock with
lower exercise price than the exchanged warrants. The exchange was completed in August 2014. As a result of the warrant exchange, we incurred $2.9 million expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 based upon the
difference between the fair value of the exchanged warrants immediately prior to the exchange and the fair value of the newly issued warrants.

Income tax expense in the third quarter of 2014 was lower compared the third quarter of 2013 as it relates to
foreign subsidiaries.
Income tax expense decreased in the first nine months of 2014 compared to the first nine months of 2013 primarily
due to revisions of estimated tax rate and provisions in 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historical Financing Activities
We have incurred significant losses since our inception in September 2002 and, as of September 30, 2014 we had an accumulated deficit of
$395.0 million. We have financed our operations to date principally through the sale of capital stock, exercise of warrants, debt financing, interest earned on investments and the sale of our products and, beginning in 2009, through partnering and
licensing of intellectual property. In November 2011, we sold approximately 4,785,000 shares of our common stock, resulting in approximately $10.0 million of net proceeds. In October 2012, we sold 5,291,005 shares of our common stock, resulting in
approximately $10.0 million of net proceeds. In July 2013, we sold 28,455,284 shares of our common stock in a private placement transaction, resulting in approximately $37.2 million of net proceeds. Between August 2013 and August 2014, we issued
warrants exercisable for up to 40,450,362 shares of our common stock in private placement transactions and as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, a total of 31,824,463 warrants have been exercised, resulting in gross
proceeds of approximately $37.1 million to us.

Oxford Loan
In December 2011, we entered into a $30.0 million loan and security agreement with Oxford Finance LLC and Silicon Valley Bank (the Oxford
Loan). Under the loan agreement, we were obligated to pay interest only payments on the Oxford Loan through June 30, 2013, following which time the Oxford Loan required interest and principal payments through January 1, 2016. The
Oxford Loan accrued interest at a stated rate of 9.45% and included an additional final interest payment of 3.95% of the original principal amount. The Oxford Loan provided for a prepayment option that allowed us to prepay all of the outstanding
principal balance, subject to a pre-payment fee. In connection with the Oxford Loan, we issued warrants to purchase 660,793 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.27 per share and expire in December 2018.
In August 2013, the Oxford Loan was fully repaid and extinguished under the loan agreements prepayment option. The Company paid a final
interest balloon of $1.2 million plus accrued interest and a prepayment penalty. Following the repayment of the Oxford Loan, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.9 million, which included $0.9 million prepayment penalty,
$0.5 million additional end of term payment and $0.5 million unamortized discount from warrants and issuance costs.
White Oak Loan
In July 2013, we executed a secured term loan agreement with White Oak Global Advisors, LLC (White Oak), as a lender
and agent for several lenders. On August 23, 2013, the loan agreement was amended and restated and the loan was funded. The amended loan agreement provides for term loan debt financing of $33.0 million with a single principal balloon payment
due at maturity on December 30, 2017. Cash interest accrues at an 11.0% per annum rate and is payable quarterly. Additionally, a 3.0% per annum payment-in-kind accrues quarterly and is accretive to the principal amount owed under the
agreement. Substantially all of the proceeds from the loan were used to fully repay and extinguish the Oxford Loan. In connection with the loan, we incurred costs of approximately $1.5 million including payments to the lender agent totaling $0.7
million and the placement agent totaling $0.3 million that in aggregate are accounted for as debt issuance costs and amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan. Under the amended loan agreement, we are obligated to pay White Oak certain
servicing, administration and monitoring fees of $32,000 annually. We may prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance, subject to paying a prepayment fee of 3.5% of the principal amount of the loan prepaid if the prepayment is made
on or before the third anniversary of the funding of the loan or 1.0% of the principal amount of the loan prepaid if the prepayment is made after the third anniversary and on or before the fourth anniversary of the funding of the loan. We are also
required to make mandatory prepayments upon certain events of loss and certain dispositions of our assets as described in the amended loan agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized expense of $0.1 million
and $0.3 million, respectively, for the amortization of debt issuance costs related to the White Oak loan.
The loan is collateralized by
substantially all of our assets then owned or thereafter acquired, other than our intellectual property, and all proceeds and products thereof. Two of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, AorTx, Inc. and Hansen Medical International, Inc., have entered
into agreements to guarantee our obligations under the amended loan agreement and have granted first priority security interests in their assets, excluding any of their intellectual property, to secure their guarantee obligations. Under the amended
loan agreement, neither we nor AorTx, Inc. or Hansen Medical International, Inc. may grant a lien on any intellectual property to third parties. We additionally agreed to pledge to the lenders shares of each of our direct and indirect subsidiaries
as collateral for the loan. Pursuant to the loan agreement, we are subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants and also to minimum liquidity requirements which require us to maintain $15.0 million in liquidity at all times, consisting of
at least $13 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments, of which $5.0 million is required to be restricted subject to lenders control, and $2 million in accounts receivable. The loan also limits our ability to (a) undergo certain
change of control events; (b) convey, sell, lease, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any of our assets; (c) create, incur, assume, or be liable with respect to certain indebtedness, not including, among other items, subordinated
debt; (d) grant liens; (e) pay dividends and make certain other restricted payments; (f) make certain investments; (g) make payments on any subordinated debt; or (h) enter into transactions with any of our affiliates outside
of the ordinary course of business, or permit our subsidiaries to do the same. We are also required to make mandatory prepayments upon certain events of loss and certain dispositions of our assets as described in the amended loan agreement. In the
event we were to violate any covenants or if White Oak has reason to believe that we have violated any covenants including a significant adverse event clause, and such violations are not cured pursuant to the terms of the loan and security
agreement, we would be in default under the loan and security agreement, which would entitle lenders to exercise their remedies, including the right to accelerate the debt, upon which we may be required to repay all amounts then outstanding under
the loan and security agreement. As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.
Equity
Transactions
On July 30, 2013, we entered into a securities purchase agreement to sell an aggregate of 28,455,284 shares
of its common stock at a per share price of $1.23 and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 34,146,339 shares of common stock at a per warrant price of $0.125 in a private placement transaction. The warrants are comprised of the following three
series: Series A warrants exercisable for an aggregate 11,382,113 shares of common stock, with an exercise price equal to $1.23 (the Series A Warrants); Series B warrants exercisable for an aggregate 11,382,113 shares of common stock,
with an exercise price equal to $1.50 per share (the Series B Warrants); and Series C warrants exercisable for an aggregate 11,382,113 shares of common stock, with an exercise price equal to $2.00 per share (the Series C
Warrants).
23
On July 30, 2014, we entered into a definitive agreement (the Exchange
Agreement) with certain warrantholders to cancel and exchange (the Exchange) an aggregate of 10,221,173 of our outstanding Series B Warrants and an aggregate of 10,221,173 of our outstanding Series C Warrants. In exchange, we
issued warrants (the Exchange Warrants) to purchase an aggregate of 26,728,369 shares of common stock. The Exchange was completed in August 2014.
The Exchange Warrants are comprised of the following two tranches: (a) Series B/C Exchange Warrants (Series B/C Exchange
Warrants) exercisable for an aggregate of 20,442,346 shares of common stock, with an exercise price equal to $1.13 per share, the NASDAQ consolidated closing bid price for the Common Stock on July 29, 2014, the last completed trading day
before the Exchange Agreement was executed (the Closing Bid Price); and (b) Series D Warrants (Series D Warrants) exercisable for an aggregate of 6,286,023 shares of common stock, with an exercise price equal to the
Closing Bid Price. The Series B/C Exchange Warrants were subject to mandatory exercise within 14 days of issuance and were exercised in August 2014, resulting in gross proceeds to us of approximately $23.1 million. The Series D Warrants have an
exercise period of five years, and if fully exercised, would result in additional gross proceeds to us of approximately $7.1 million. The Series B Warrants and Series C Warrants previously carried an expiration date of August 2015. The remaining
Series B Warrants and Series C Warrants not included in the Exchange will remain outstanding until their exercise or expiration.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities during the first nine months of 2014 increased by $1.6 million, primarily due to a $5.4 million decrease
in non-cash expenses related to a total of $7.0 million losses from litigation, extinguishment of debt and impairment recorded in 2013, and a $1.3 million decrease in stock-based compensation, offset by $2.9 million warrant exchange expense recorded
in 2014. This decrease in non-cash expenses was partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in net loss, and a $2.3 million increase in operating assets and liabilities due primarily to a smaller increase in inventory in the current period.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the first nine months of 2014 was $0.4 million, compared to $1.2 million of cash provided by
investing activities during the same period in 2013 primarily related to proceeds from the sale of investments as we managed our investment portfolio to provide liquidity and interest income partially offset by a provision for restricted cash of
$5.0 million as required under the loan agreement.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the first nine months of 2014 was $39.2 million primarily due to the exercise of Series A
Warrants and Series B/C Exchange Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 31,824,463 shares of our common stock for total gross proceeds of $37.1 million as well as $2.6 million in proceeds related to the exercise of stock options, partially offset
by $0.6 million of withholding taxes paid on equity awards. Net cash provided by financing activities during the same period in 2013 was $37.1 million primarily due to $39.3 million gross proceeds from the private placement equity financing less
$1.9 million of related costs and $33.0 million gross proceeds related to the White Oak debt financing less debt issuance costs of $1.5 million, partially offset by $32.1 million of principal payments and final repayment fees related to the
extinguishment of the Oxford Loan.
Future Capital Requirements
We recognized our first revenues in 2007 and we have not achieved profitability or generated net income to date. We have experienced
significant fluctuations in quarterly shipments and revenues and, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008, we saw many potential customers lengthen their sales cycles and postpone purchase decisions. From inception to September 30, 2014, we
have incurred losses totaling approximately $395.0 million and have not generated positive cash flows from operations. We expect such
24
losses to continue through at least the year ending December 31, 2014 as we continue to commercialize our products, maintain and develop the infrastructure required to manufacture and sell
our products, pursue additional applications for our technology platform including our Sensei system and Magellan Robotic System, continue to develop new products and operate as a publicly traded company. As of September 30, 2014, our cash,
cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash balances were $41.5 million. We incurred a net loss of $42.3 million and negative cash flows from operations of $32.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. In
addition, we are also subject to minimum liquidity requirements under our existing borrowing arrangements with White Oak Global Advisors, LLC which require us to maintain $15.0 million in liquidity at all times, consisting of at least $13.0 million
in cash, cash equivalents and investments, of which $5.0 million is required to be restricted subject to lenders control, and $2.0 million in accounts receivable. Based on our current operating projections, we do not have sufficient liquidity
to meet our anticipated cash requirements through the next twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In order to continue our operations, we will need to obtain sufficient additional funding and may
attempt to do so at any time by, for example, selling equity or debt securities, licensing core or non-core intellectual property assets, entering into future research and development funding arrangements, refinancing or restructuring existing debt
arrangements or entering into a credit facility in order to meet our continuing cash needs. If such financing, licensing, funding or credit arrangements do not meet our longer term needs or if future sales do not meet our current forecast, we may be
required to extend our existing cash and liquidity by adopting additional cost-cutting measures, including reductions in our work force, reducing the scope of, delaying or eliminating some or all of our planned research, development and
commercialization activities and/or reducing marketing, customer support or other resources devoted to our products. Any of these factors could harm our financial condition. There can be no assurance, however, that such a funding alternative will be
successfully completed on terms acceptable to us or that the Company can implement cost cutting measures sufficient to extend our cash and liquidity. Management is currently considering various financing alternatives. Failure to raise additional
funding or manage our spending may adversely impact our ability to achieve our long term intended business objectives. We will continue to evaluate the extent of our implemented cost-saving measures based upon changing future economic conditions and
the achievement of estimated revenue and will consider the implementation of additional cost reductions if and as circumstances warrant.
If we seek additional funding in the future by selling additional equity or debt securities, refinancing or restructuring existing debt
arrangements or entering into a credit facility, such additional funding may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders, may contain unfavorable terms or may not be available on any terms. If we are unable to obtain any needed
additional funding, we may be required to reduce the scope of, delay, or eliminate some or all of, our planned research, development and commercialization activities or to license to third parties the rights to commercialize products or technologies
that we would otherwise seek to commercialize ourselves or on terms that are less attractive than they might otherwise be, any of which could materially harm our business. The timing and exact amounts of our capital requirements will depend on many
factors, including but not limited to the following:
|
|
|
our ability to maintain compliance with debt covenants; |
|
|
|
the cash collected from and the revenue and margins generated by sales of our current and future products; |
|
|
|
the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing or other arrangements that we may establish; |
|
|
|
the success of our research and development efforts; |
|
|
|
the expenses we incur in manufacturing, marketing and selling our products, developing new products and operating our company; |
|
|
|
our ability to achieve and maintain manufacturing cost reductions; |
|
|
|
our ability to achieve and maintain operating cost reductions; |
|
|
|
the rate of progress and cost of our clinical trials and other development activities; |
|
|
|
the cost and timing of future regulatory actions; |
|
|
|
the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property or other legal rights, or participating in litigation-related activities; |
|
|
|
the costs of defending against lawsuits brought against us or individuals indemnified by us; |
|
|
|
the emergence of competing or complementary technological developments; and |
|
|
|
the acquisition of businesses, products and technologies. |
We cannot guarantee that future
equity or debt financing or credit facilities will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. This could leave us without adequate financial resources to fund our operations as presently conducted or as we plan to conduct them
in the future.

The table above reflects only payment obligations that are fixed and determinable. Our commitments for
operating leases relate principally to the lease for our corporate headquarters in Mountain View, California and our sales office in London, England. Future debt payments relate to principal and interest payments related to the $33.0 million we have
borrowed under our loan agreement with White Oak as of September 30, 2014.
Additionally, we have minimum royalty obligations of
$100,000 per year under a license agreement with Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Inc. which reduces to $55,000 per year if the license becomes non-exclusive. The royalty obligation expires in 2018. We also have minimum royalty obligations
of $200,000 per year under the terms of our cross license agreement with Intuitive Surgical. We also have royalty obligations under the amended joint development agreement with Philips which provides for the payment of royalties to Philips through
October 2017.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements under the caption Recent Accounting Pronouncements for information
regarding new accounting guidance that may impact our financial statements and disclosures.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In the normal course of business, our financial position is subject to a variety of risks,
including market risk associated with interest rate movements and foreign currency exchange risk. We regularly assess these risks and have established policies and business practices to protect against these and other exposures. As a result, we do
not anticipate material potential losses in these areas.
The primary objective for our investment activities is to preserve principal
while maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. This is accomplished by investing in widely diversified short-term investments, consisting primarily of investment grade securities. As of September 30, 2014, the fair value of our
cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash was approximately $41.5 million, all of which will mature in one year or less. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would not result in a material decrease or
increase in our interest income nor in the fair value of our available-for-sale securities. We have no investments denominated in foreign country currencies and therefore our investments are not subject to foreign currency exchange risk.
A portion of our operations consists of sales activities outside of the United States and, as such, we have foreign currency exposure to
non-United States dollar revenues and accounts receivable. Currently, we sell our products mainly in United States dollars, Euros and Great Britain Pounds although we may in the future transact business in other currencies. Future fluctuations in
the exchange rates of these currencies may impact our revenues. In the past, we have not hedged our exposures to foreign currencies or entered into any other derivative instruments and we have no current plans to do so. For the third quarter of
2014, sales denominated in foreign currencies were approximately 10% of total revenue. The effect of a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates applicable to our business would not have a material impact on our historical
consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our senior management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the
issuers management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
26
Based on our managements evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer), as of September 30, 2014, the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a-15e and 15d-15e under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)) were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In connection with managements annual assessment of the overall effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting included
in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, management based its assessment on the framework set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
(COSO) of the Treadway Commission. On May 14, 2013, COSO issued an updated framework, referred to as the 2013 COSO framework. COSO has indicated that after December 15, 2014, it will consider the 1992 framework to have been
superseded. We have reviewed the COSO 2013 framework and plan to integrate the changes into the Companys internal controls over financial reporting during the remainder of 2014. We expect that managements assessment of the overall
effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting for the year ending December 31, 2014 will be based on the COSO 2013 framework and that the change will not be significant to our overall control structure over financial
reporting.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, evaluated our internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) to determine whether any changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the third quarter of 2014 that materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, except as set forth in the preceding paragraph, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the
quarter ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Controls
We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will continue to diligently review our financial reporting
controls and procedures in order to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the related rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems,
any control system, regardless of how well designed, operated and evaluated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control objectives will be met. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, on certain assumptions
about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or
deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are involved in litigation including commercial disputes and employment issues. As of the date of this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q, we are not involved in any pending legal proceedings that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. From time to time, we may pursue litigation to assert our legal
right, and such litigation may be costly and divert the efforts and attention of our management and technical personnel which could adversely affect our business.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to Our Business
We
have incurred substantial losses since inception and anticipate that we will incur continued losses through at least the year ending December 31, 2014, we may not be able to raise additional financing to fund future losses and we may not be
able to continue to operate as a going concern.
We have experienced substantial net losses since our inception in late 2002 and
expect such losses to continue through at least the year ending December 31, 2014 as we continue to commercialize our technologies and develop new applications and technologies. As of September 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of
$395.0 million. We have funded our operations to date principally from the sale of our securities, the issuance of debt and through partnering and the licensing of intellectual property. As of September 30, 2014, our cash, cash equivalents,
short-investments and restricted cash total was $41.5 million. We incurred a net operating loss of $42.3 million and had negative cash flows from operations of $32.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. In addition, we are also
subject to minimum liquidity requirements under our existing borrowing arrangement with White Oak Global Advisors, LLC that requires us to maintain $15.0 million in liquidity, consisting of at least $13.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and
investments, of which $5.0 million is required to be restricted subject to lenders control, and $2.0 million in accounts receivable. Based on our current operating projections, we do not have sufficient liquidity to meet our anticipated cash
requirements through the next twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In order to continue our operations, we need to either obtain sufficient additional financing or adopt additional
cost-cutting measures to sufficiently extend our cash and liquidity. There can be no assurance, however, that such a financing will be successfully
27
completed on terms acceptable to us or that we can implement cost cutting measures sufficient to extend our cash and liquidity. We may seek additional financing at any time by selling additional
equity or debt securities, licensing core or non-core intellectual property assets, entering into future research and development funding arrangements, refinancing or restructuring existing debt arrangements, or entering into a credit facility. If
we seek additional funding in the future by selling additional equity or debt securities or entering into debt or credit facilities, such additional funding may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders, may contain unfavorable terms
or may not be available on any terms.
Conditions in the global financial and credit markets may limit our ability to raise additional
funds. We cannot guarantee that future equity or debt financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Further, even if financing is available, the cost to us may be significantly higher than in the past. Our ability
to access the capital markets and raise funds required for our operations may be severely restricted by general market conditions at a time when we would like, or need, to do so, which could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet our current
and future funding requirements and on our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions. This could leave us without adequate financial resources to fund our operations as presently conducted or as we plan to conduct them in the
future. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to adopt additional cost-cutting measures, including additional reductions in our work force, reducing the scope of, delaying or eliminating some or all of our planned research,
development and commercialization activities and/or reducing marketing, customer support or other resources devoted to our products. If we seek additional funding through partnering and licensing transactions, we could be required to license to
third parties the rights to commercialize products or technologies that we would otherwise seek to commercialize ourselves or on terms that are less attractive than they might otherwise be. Any of these factors could materially harm our business and
may negatively impact our ability to continue to operate as a going concern.
Because we may not be successful in significantly increasing
sales of our products, the extent of our future losses and the timing of achieving sustained profitability are highly uncertain, and we may never achieve sustained profitable operations. If we require more time than we expect to generate significant
revenue and achieve sustained profitability, we may not be able to continue our operations. Even if we achieve significant revenues, we may never become profitable on a sustained basis.
Our efforts to commercialize our Magellan Robotic System and Sensei system may encounter obstacles and delays which could significantly
harm our ability to generate revenue.
Our ability to generate revenues depends upon the successful commercialization of our
Magellan Robotic System and Sensei system. These commercialization efforts may not succeed for a number of reasons, including those set forth in this Item 1A and that:
|
|
|
our systems may not be accepted by physicians or hospitals; |
|
|
|
we may not be able to sell our systems and associated catheters in volumes and at prices that allow us to generate sufficient revenue necessary to achieve liquidity; |
|
|
|
the use of our systems by customers may not achieve more predictable procedure times, enable more complex cases or result in other physician or clinical benefits that we believe will drive adoption of our products;
|
|
|
|
we, or the investigators of our products, may not be able to generate sufficient information regarding outcomes with our systems to satisfy potential purchasers; |
|
|
|
the availability and perceived advantages of alternative treatments may hinder acceptance of our systems; |
|
|

our assumptions regarding the economic value proposition of our systems for hospitals, including the reimbursement rates that hospitals may achieve for procedures using our systems, may not be sufficiently accurate to
drive adoption in acceptable quantities; |
|
|
|
technological changes may make our products obsolete; |
|
|
|
we may not be able to manufacture our systems or catheters in commercial quantities or at an acceptable cost; |
|
|
|
we may not have adequate financial or other resources to complete the commercialization of our systems or the development of new products; |
|
|
|
difficult general economic and capital market conditions, slower than expected macro-economic recovery and uncertainty created by the Affordable Care Act has impacted capital purchases by healthcare providers; and
|
|
|
|
we may not obtain regulatory clearance for the applications for which many physicians wish to use our systems. |
If we are not successful in the commercialization of our Sensei system for uses other than for mapping in electrophysiology procedures or the
development and commercialization of our Magellan Robotic System, we may never achieve sustained profitability and may be forced to cease operations.
Successful commercialization of our Magellan Robotic System is subject to manufacturing, marketing, sales and customer service risks
which could significantly harm our ability to generate revenue.
We have limited experienced in manufacturing our Magellan Robotic
System, Magellan Robotic Catheters and related accessories in commercial quantities and we may encounter unexpected manufacturing problems when scaling up the production of these new products. While we have experience marketing and selling the
Sensei system following its initial regulatory approvals in 2007, the marketing and sales effort for our Magellan Robotic System involves different customers, value propositions and purchasing
28
processes, and we are only beginning to gain experience in marketing and selling our Magellan Robotic System. Our Magellan Robotic System is a novel device, and hospitals are traditionally slow
to adopt new products and treatment practices. Our Magellan Robotic System is an expensive capital equipment purchase which slows the sales process. Since the Magellan Robotic System has only recently been commercially introduced, our Magellan
Robotic System has limited product and brand recognition. Furthermore, we do not believe hospitals will purchase our products unless the physicians at those hospitals express a strong desire to use our products and we cannot predict whether or not
they will do so in sufficient numbers. The ability to obtain market acceptance of a new product such as the Magellan Robotic System is highly variable and subject to many risks. As a result, our commercialization plans may be delayed, incomplete or
unsuccessful. While we have prepared new training materials specifically for our Magellan Robotic System, these materials have not been used extensively and only a limited number of clinical cases have been performed with our Magellan Robotic
System. As a result, with greater physician experience with our Magellan Robotic System, we may identify areas where further training is required. In addition, commercial introduction of new products sometimes results in the identification of latent
or new product defects or quality issues that were not evident in the testing of the products. If we encounter any of these new product introduction issues with our Magellan Robotic System, our financial condition and results of operations and
business could be adversely impacted.
We may not be able to further develop our Magellan Robotic System as planned, which could
significantly harm our ability to achieve future regulatory approvals and market acceptance.
We intend to further develop our
Magellan Robotic System, including our Magellan Robotic Catheters and related accessories. Due to the advanced electrical, mechanical, and software capabilities of this new robotic platform, we may encounter challenges in designing, engineering and
manufacturing future enhancements to the platform, which may lead to compatibility obstacles with operating room and catheter laboratory layouts, equipment quality or performance issues, unmet customer expectations regarding features or
functionality or other defects in future versions of the platform. Any such difficulties could result in delays in our submissions to regulatory agencies, delays in achieving or the failure to achieve additional regulatory approvals or clearances
for enhancements to the system, lack of physician adoption of our system, higher than expected service claims, litigation and negative press coverage which may damage our business.
If we are unable to manufacture our systems and catheters in a manner that yields sufficient gross margins, we will be unable to achieve
profitable commercialization.
We do not have significant experience in manufacturing, assembling or testing our current products
on a commercial scale. Our products contain expensive materials and are expensive to manufacture, particularly in limited quantities. In addition to increasing sales to increase manufacturing overhead absorption, we need to reduce the variable
manufacturing costs of our catheters in order to achieve our operational and financial goals. We face challenges in order to produce disposable catheters effectively, to appropriately phase in new products and designs, to efficiently utilize our
manufacturing facility and to achieve planned manufacturing cost reductions. If we are unable to effectively manage these issues, our costs of producing our products will negatively affect our gross margins which will negatively impact our business.
We are a company with a limited history of operations, which makes our future operating results difficult to predict.
We are a medical device company with a limited operating history and first recognized revenues in the second quarter of 2007. We have been
engaged in research and product development since our inception in late 2002. Our Sensei Robotic Catheter System, or Sensei system, received U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, clearance in May 2007 and our corresponding disposable Artisan
Control Catheter and Artisan Extend Control Catheter received FDA clearance in May 2007 and August 2012, respectively, for commercialization to facilitate manipulation, positioning and control of certain mapping catheters during electrophysiology
procedures. We also received the CE Mark in Europe for our Sensei system in September 2006, for our Artisan Control Catheter in May 2007, for our Lynx catheter in July 2010, for our Magellan Robotic System in July 2011, for our Magellan Robotic
Catheter in October 2011 and for our Artisan Extend Control Catheter in December 2012. We received FDA clearance for the commercialization of our Magellan Robotic System including the catheter and accessories in June 2012 and we received FDA
clearance for the marketing of our Magellan 6Fr Robotic Catheter in February 2014, and we have also received regulatory approvals for our Sensei system and/or our Magellan Robotic System in several countries outside of the U.S, including Canada. Our
Canadian license for the Sensei system, which was issued in December 2011, is conditioned upon our providing yearly safety and effectiveness data for a period of three years for post-market use of the system, including marketing history, a clinical
literature review, and up-to-date data on our randomized clinical study. Failure to provide these reports may result in suspension of our license.
The future success of our business will depend on our ability to design and obtain regulatory approval for new products, manufacture and
assemble our current and future products in sufficient quantities in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and at lower costs, increase product sales and successfully support and service our products, all of which we may be unable to
do. We have a limited history of operations upon which you can evaluate our business and our operating expenses have fluctuated significantly. We have only recently introduced our Magellan Robotic System and do not have experience selling different
systems for different applications. Our lack of a significant operating history also limits your ability to make a comparative evaluation of us, our products and our prospects. If we are unable to successfully operate our business, our business and
financial condition will be harmed.

We have a debt facility with White Oak Global Advisors, LLC that shall requires us to meet
certain restrictive covenants that may limit our operating flexibility.
In August 2013, we entered into an amended and restated
$33.0 million loan and security agreement with White Oak as a lender and as agent for the lenders under the loan agreement. We are obligated to pay only interest on the loan until the loans maturity date, which is December 30, 2017. At
our option, we may prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance, subject to paying a prepayment fee of 3.5% of the principal amount of the loan prepaid if our prepayment is made on or before the third anniversary of the funding of
the loan or 1.0% of the principal amount of the loan prepaid if our prepayment is made after the third anniversary and on or before the fourth anniversary of the funding of the loan. We are also required to make mandatory prepayments upon certain
events of loss and certain dispositions of our assets as described in the loan agreement.
The loan agreement contains customary events of
default, including if we fail to make a payment on its due date, fail to perform specified obligations, fail to comply with certain covenants in the loan agreement, experience a material adverse change, or become insolvent. We have granted the
lenders a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets, excluding any of our intellectual property, now owned or hereafter acquired, and all proceeds and products thereof. Two of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, AorTx, Inc. and
Hansen Medical International, Inc., have guaranteed our obligations under the loan and have granted first priority security interests in their assets, excluding any of their intellectual property, to secure their guarantee obligations. Under the
loan agreement, neither we nor AorTx, Inc. and Hansen Medical International, Inc. may grant a lien on any intellectual property to third parties. We have also pledged to the lenders shares of each of our direct and indirect subsidiaries as
collateral for the loan. We are also subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants, and also to minimum liquidity requirements which require us to maintain $15.0 million in liquidity, consisting of at least $13.0 million in cash, cash
equivalents and investments of which $5.0 million of which shall be restricted funds subject to lenders control, and $2.0 million in accounts receivable. We are subject to limitations on our ability to: undergo certain change of control
events; convey, sell, lease, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of our assets; create, incur, assume, or be liable with respect to certain indebtedness not including, among other things, subordinated debt; grant liens; pay dividends and make
certain other restricted payments; make certain investments; make payments on any subordinated debt; enter into transactions with any of our affiliates outside of the ordinary course of business; or permit our subsidiaries to do the same. We are
also required to make mandatory prepayments upon certain events of loss and certain dispositions of our assets described in the amended loan agreement.
As of September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all financial covenants. In the event we were to violate any covenants or if White
Oak believes that we have violated any covenants, and such violations are not cured pursuant to the terms of the loan and security agreement, we would be in default under the loan and security agreement, which would entitle the lenders to exercise
their remedies, including the right to accelerate the debt, upon which we may be required to repay all amounts then outstanding under the loan and security agreement. Complying with these covenants may make it more difficult for us to successfully
execute our business strategy.
If Philips is unable to develop or license new products or applications for the FOSSL technology, or
such products are not commercially viable, we may not realize the full benefits of our agreements with Philips which would harm our results of operations and could delay and or impair our ability to successfully commercialize that technology.
The realization of the full potential benefits of our agreements with Philips, including the receipt of any of the up to $78.0
million in future payments associated with the successful commercialization by Philips or its collaborators of products containing the FOSSL technology, requires the development of new products and applications of technology that are subject to
design, engineering and manufacturing challenges, potential safety and regulatory issues that could delay, suspend or terminate clinical studies, regulatory approvals or sales, and our reliance on third parties to develop, obtain regulatory approval
for, manufacture, market and sell products containing FOSSL technology. Approximately two-thirds of the up to $78.0 million of potential future payments could arise from Philips sublicensing the FOSSL technology, but Philips has no
obligations to do so. Under certain circumstances, we have the right to reacquire certain of the rights licensed to Philips for an amount which in the aggregate would be greater than the upfront payment amounts received by us from Philips in
connection with the agreements related to the FOSSL technology, however, there can be no assurance that we would have the capital resources to exercise such rights or that we could find another commercial partner or develop commercially such
technologies. In addition, Philips sales of products containing the FOSSL technology could be sufficient to result in our not having any rights to reacquire any of the rights licensed to Philips, yet too low to result in any royalty payments
to us. If any of these events occurred, we would be unable to realize the full financial benefits of our agreements with Philips and may be delayed or unable to monetize the FOSSL technology in other areas, harming our research and development
efforts and adversely affecting our business.
We may be unable to complete our clinical trial for the treatment of atrial
fibrillation or other future trials, or we may experience significant delays in completing our clinical trials, which could prevent or delay regulatory approval of our Sensei system for expanded uses and impair our financial position.
We have received Investigational Device Exemption, or IDE, approval to investigate the use of our Sensei system and Artisan Control and Artisan
Extend catheters in the treatment of atrial fibrillation in a clinical study designed to support the expansion of our current labeling in the U.S. beyond mapping. We enrolled our first patient in May 2010, but in January 2013, proposed a
modification to the study protocol to change the study design and reduce the required sample size. The modified study, which plans to enroll a minimum of 125 additional subjects, was approved by the FDA in August 2013 and approximately one-half of
the additional subjects have been enrolled to date, including a complete enrollment in the randomized portion of the study. The study includes a seven-day follow-up for safety and a one-year follow-up for efficacy at intervals of 90, 180, and 365
days.
30
Enrollment of additional patients in the trial could be delayed for a variety of reasons,
including:
|
|
|
reaching agreement on acceptable terms with prospective clinical trial sites; |
|
|
|
obtaining additional institutional review board approval to conduct the trial at prospective sites; and |
|
|
|
obtaining sufficient patient enrollment, which is a function of many factors, including the size of the patient population, the nature of the protocol, the willingness of patients to participate in a clinical trial, the
proximity of patients to clinical sites and the eligibility criteria for the trial. |
In addition, the completion of the
trial, and any future clinical trials, could be delayed, suspended or terminated for several reasons, including:
|
|
|
ongoing discussions with regulatory authorities regarding the scope or design of our preclinical results or clinical trial or requests for supplemental information with respect to our preclinical results or clinical
trial results; |
|
|
|
our failure or inability to conduct the clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements; |
|
|
|
sites participating in the trial may drop out of the trial, which may require us to engage new sites or petition the FDA for an expansion of the number of sites that are permitted to be involved in the trial;
|
|
|
|
patients may not enroll in, remain in or complete the clinical trial at the rates we expect; |
|
|
|
patients in either the control or test arm of the trial may experience serious adverse events or side effects during the trial, which, whether or not related to our products, could cause the FDA or other regulatory
authorities to place the clinical trial on hold; and |
|
|
|
clinical investigators may not perform our clinical trials on our anticipated schedule or consistent with the clinical trial protocol and good clinical practices. |
If our clinical trials are delayed it will take us longer to commercialize a product for the treatment of atrial fibrillation and generate
revenues from such product. Moreover, our development costs will increase if we have material delays in our clinical trials or if we need to perform more or larger clinical trials than planned.
Even if we complete our trial for the treatment of atrial fibrillation or other clinical trials, these trials may not produce results
that are sufficient to support approval of a PMA or 510(k) application.
We will consider our Sensei system to be effective if the
trial for the treatment of atrial fibrillation meets target performance goals based upon the manual control of the NaviStar Thermocool catheter, but there is a risk that, even if we achieve our trial endpoints, the FDA may not approve our Sensei
system for use in the treatment of atrial fibrillation. In addition, there is a risk that the FDA may require us to conduct a larger or longer clinical trial, submit additional follow-up data, or engage in other costly and time consuming activities
that may delay the FDAs clearance or approval of the Sensei system for use in atrial fibrillation. Although we plan to file a 510(k) application based on data from our trial for the use of Sensei system in the treatment of atrial fibrillation,
the FDA may require us to file a premarket approval, or PMA, which is more time consuming and costly. If our clinical trials fail to produce sufficient data to support a PMA or 510(k) application, it will take us longer to ultimately commercialize a
product for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, or any other intended treatment, and generate revenue or the delay could result in our being unable to do so. Moreover, our development costs will increase if we need to perform more or larger
clinical trials than planned.
We have incurred substantial management and employee turnover and we may lose additional key
personnel or fail to attract and retain additional personnel needed for us to operate our business effectively.
Our management
team includes several members hired since January 2013, including our new Chief Executive Officer who joined us in May 2014. In addition, the position of Chief Financial Officer is currently held on a part-time and interim basis. If we are unable to
recruit and retain qualified individuals, including retaining our new Chief Executive Officer, our product development and commercialization efforts could be materially delayed or be unsuccessful. Retaining such personnel and recruiting necessary
new employees in the future will be critical to our success. There is intense competition from other companies and research and academic institutions for qualified personnel in the areas of our activities. If we fail to identify, attract, retain and
motivate these highly skilled management and personnel, we may be unable to continue our development and commercialization activities and our business will be harmed.
We are highly dependent on the principal members of our management and scientific staff. We do not carry key person insurance
covering any members of our senior management. Each of our officers and key employees may terminate his employment at
31
any time without notice and without cause or good reason. The loss of any of these persons could prevent the implementation and completion of our objectives, including the development and
introduction of our products, and could require the remaining management members to direct immediate and substantial attention to seeking a replacement.
Credit, financial market and general economic conditions could delay or prevent potential customers from purchasing our products, which
would adversely affect our sales, financial condition and results of operation.
The sale of our systems often represents a
significant capital purchase for our customers and many customers finance their purchase of our systems through a credit facility or other financing. If prospective customers that need to finance their capital purchases are not able to access the
credit or capital markets on terms that they consider acceptable, they may decide to postpone or cancel a potential purchase of one of our systems. Potential customers with limited capital budgets may decide to spend those dollars on other
technologies rather than on our products. Also, even customers with sufficient financial resources to make such purchases without resorting to the credit and capital markets may be less likely to make capital purchases during periods when they view
the overall economic conditions unfavorably or with uncertainty. Many potential customers have delayed making a decision to purchase a Sensei or Magellan system, which has significantly impacted our sales, financial condition and results of
operations. If we are unable to obtain market acceptance for our products value proposition, potential customers may not make these significant capital purchases and our sales, financial condition and results of operations would be harmed.
We have limited sales, marketing and distribution experience and capabilities, which could impair our ability to achieve sustained
profitability.
In the second quarter of 2007, we received clearance to market, sell and distribute our Sensei system for use in
the mapping of electrophysiology procedures in the United States and Europe. We had no prior experience as a company in undertaking these efforts. We received CE Mark approval to market, sell and distribute our Magellan Robotic System in Europe in
the third quarter of 2011 and FDA clearance to market, sell and distribute our Magellan Robotic System in the United States in the second quarter of 2012. In the United States, we market our systems and catheters through a direct sales force of
regional sales employees, supported by clinical sales representatives who provide training, clinical support and other services to our customers. Our direct sales force competes against the experienced and well-funded sales organizations of our
competitors. Our revenues will depend largely on the effectiveness of our sales force. We face significant challenges and risks related to our direct sales force and the marketing of our current and future products, including, among others:
|
|
|
the ability of sales personnel to obtain access to or persuade adequate numbers of hospitals to purchase our system and catheters and physicians to use our system and catheters; |
|
|
|
our ability to retain, properly motivate, recruit and train adequate numbers of qualified sales and marketing personnel; |
|
|
|
our ability to successfully integrate new management, including our newly hired Chief Executive Officer and future Chief Financial Officer; |
|
|
|
the costs associated with an independent sales and marketing organization, hiring, maintaining and expanding an independent sales and marketing organization; and |
|
|
|
our ability to promote our products effectively while maintaining compliance with government regulations and labeling restrictions with respect to the healthcare industry. |
Outside the United States, primarily in the EU, we are establishing a combination of a direct sales force and distributors to market, sell and
support our current and future products. If we fail to select and maintain appropriate distributors, appropriately disengage from unsuccessful distributors or effectively use our distributors or sales personnel and coordinate our efforts for
distribution of our systems and catheters in the EU or if their and our sales and marketing strategies are not effective in generating sales of our system, our revenues would be adversely affected and we may never become profitable on a sustained
basis.
We have limited experience in manufacturing and assembling our products and may encounter problems at our manufacturing
facilities or otherwise experience manufacturing delays that could result in lost revenue or diminishing margins.
We do not have
significant experience in manufacturing, assembling or testing our current products on a commercial scale. In addition, for our Sensei system and Magellan Robotic System, we subcontract the manufacturing of major components and complete the final
assembly and testing of those components in-house. We face challenges in order to produce our Sensei system and disposable catheters effectively, to appropriately phase in new products such as the Magellan Robotic System and product designs, to
efficiently utilize our manufacturing facility and to achieve planned manufacturing cost reductions. These challenges include equipment design and automation, material procurement, low or variable production yields on catheters and quality control
and assurance. The costs resulting from these challenges have had and will continue to have a significant impact on our gross margins and may result in significant fluctuations of gross margins from quarter to quarter. We may not successfully
complete required manufacturing changes or planned improvements in manufacturing efficiency on a timely basis or at all. The Company has in the past experienced recalls associated with its manufacturing processes and such recalls may occur again.
Any future manufacturing issues may result in our being unable to meet the expected demand for our products, maintain control over our expenses or otherwise successfully manage our manufacturing capabilities. If we are unable to satisfy demand for
our systems or catheters, our ability to generate revenue could be impaired and hospitals may instead purchase, or physicians may use, our competitors products. Since our
32
Sensei system and Magellan Robotic System require the use of disposable Artisan catheters and Magellan Robotic Catheters, respectively, our failure to meet demand for catheters from hospitals
that have purchased our systems could adversely affect the market acceptance of our products and damage our commercial reputation.
In
addition, all of our manufacturing operations are conducted at our facilities leased in Mountain View, California. We could encounter problems at these facilities, which could delay or prevent us from manufacturing, assembling or testing our
products or maintaining our manufacturing capabilities or otherwise conducting operations.
Our reliance on third-party
manufacturers and on suppliers, and in one case, a single-source supplier, could harm our ability to meet demand for our products in a timely manner or within budget, and could cause harm to our business and financial condition.
We depend on third-party manufacturers to produce most of the components of our systems and other current products, and have not entered into
formal agreements with several of these third parties. We also depend on various third-party suppliers for various components we use in our systems and for our catheters and sheaths. For example, Force Dimension Sàrl, a single-source
supplier, manufactures customized motion controllers that are a part of our Sensei system and Magellan Robotic System. We also obtain the motors for our Sensei system and Magellan Robotic System from a single supplier, Maxon Motor AG, from whom we
purchase on a purchase order basis, and we generally do not maintain large volumes of inventory. In September 2013, we terminated our supply agreement with Plexus Services Corp. in favor of a new supplier for certain components to our robotic
systems.
Our reliance on third parties involves a number of risks, including, among other things, the risk that:
|
|
|
suppliers may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or make errors in manufacturing components that could negatively affect the efficacy or safety of our products or cause delays in or prevent shipments of our
products; |
|
|
|
we may not be able to respond to unanticipated changes and increases in customer orders; |
|
|
|
we may be subject to price fluctuations due to a lack of long-term supply arrangements for key components with our suppliers; |
|
|
|
we may lose access to critical services and components, resulting in an interruption in the manufacture, assembly and shipment of our systems and other products; |
|
|
|
our suppliers manufacture products for a range of customers, and fluctuations in demand for products these suppliers manufacture for others may affect their ability to deliver components to us in a timely manner;
|
|
|
|
our suppliers may wish to discontinue supplying goods or services to us; |
|
|
|
if the components necessary for our system become unavailable we may not be able to find new or alternative components or reconfigure our system and manufacturing processes in a timely manner; and |
|
|
|
our suppliers may encounter financial hardships unrelated to our demand for components, which could inhibit their ability to fulfill our orders and meet our requirements. |
If any of these risks materialize, it could significantly increase our costs and impact our ability to meet demand for our products.
In addition, if these manufacturers or suppliers stop providing us with the components or services necessary for the operation of our
business, we may not be able to identify alternative sources in a timely fashion. Any transition to alternative manufacturers or suppliers or a decision to discontinue our relationship with a current manufacturer or supplier could result in
operational problems, increased expenses or write-down of capitalized assets that would adversely affect operating results and could delay the shipment of, or limit our ability to provide, our products. We cannot assure you that we would be able to
enter into agreements with new manufacturers or suppliers on commercially reasonable terms on a timely basis or at all. Additionally, obtaining components from a new supplier may require qualification of a new supplier in the form of a new or
supplemental filing with applicable regulatory authorities and clearance or approval of the filing before we could resume purchasing components for inclusion in our products. Any disruptions in product supply may harm our ability to generate
revenues, lead to customer dissatisfaction, damage our reputation and result in additional costs or cancellation of orders by our customers. We currently purchase a number of the components for our systems in foreign jurisdictions. Any event causing
a disruption of imports, including the imposition of import restrictions, could adversely affect our business and our financial condition.
If we fail to maintain necessary FDA clearances/approvals and the CE Certificates of Conformity marks for our medical device products,
or if future clearances, approvals or the delivery of CE Certificates of Conformity are delayed, we will be unable to commercially distribute and market our products.
The process of seeking regulatory clearance, approval or CE Certificates of Conformity to market a medical device is expensive and
time-consuming, and clearance, approval and grant of CE Certificates of Conformity are never guaranteed. Even if granted or obtained, clearance, approval or CE Certificates of Conformity may be suspended, withdrawn or revoked. In May 2007, we
received FDA clearance in the United States to commercialize our Sensei system and Artisan catheters only to facilitate manipulation, positioning and control, for collecting electrophysiological data within the heart atria with electro-anatomic
mapping and recording systems using two specified mapping catheters. We received FDA clearance to commercialize our Magellan Robotic System including the catheter and accessories in June 2012 and we received FDA clearance for the marketing of our
Magellan 6Fr Robotic Catheter in February 2014. Because the FDA has determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that our Sensei system and Artisan catheters could be used by physicians for uses not encompassed by the scope of the present label
and that such uses may cause harm, we are required to label these products to state that their safety and effectiveness for use with cardiac ablation catheters in the treatment of
33
cardiac arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation have not been established. Accordingly, the scope of the current label may be an obstacle to our ability to successfully market and sell our
electrophysiology products in the United States to a broader group of potential customers. We will be required to seek a separate 510(k) clearance or PMA approval to market our Sensei system for uses other than those in the current label. We cannot
assure you that the FDA would not impose a more burdensome level of premarket review on other intended uses or modifications to approved products. We plan to seek future approval of our Sensei system for other indications, including atrial
fibrillation and other cardiac ablation procedures. We have received IDE approval to investigate the use of our Artisan family of catheters in the treatment of atrial fibrillation in a clinical study designed to support the expansion of our current
labeling in the U.S. beyond mapping. The study was planned to involve approximately 300 patients and involves the treatment of atrial fibrillation. We enrolled our first patient in May 2010 and approximately 50 patients were enrolled as of January
2013. A proposed modification to the study protocol was submitted to FDA for review in January 2013. The modified study, which plans to enroll a minimum of 125 additional subjects, was approved by the FDA in August 2013 and approximately one-half of
the targeted number of additional subjects have been enrolled to date. The study will include a seven-day follow-up for safety and a one-year follow-up for efficacy at intervals of 90, 180, and 365 days. We cannot assure the timing or potential for
success of those efforts. We cannot assure you that the study will be completed at all or in a timely manner, nor that the study will be executed in a manner consistent with FDA requirements or yield sufficient data to support approval. Clinical
studies are subject to FDA audits under the Bioresearch Monitoring program, and if our study execution or that of our participating sites and investigators is found to be deficient, this may result in delays in approval or could prevent approval
from being obtained. Any significant violations can also result in further enforcement action, as outlined above.
With regard to our
Sensei system, our Magellan Robotic System, or other products, the FDA can delay, limit or deny clearance of a 510(k), or PMA approval, for many reasons, including:
|
|
|
our inability to demonstrate safety or effectiveness to the FDAs satisfaction; |
|
|
|
the data from our preclinical studies and clinical trials may be insufficient to support approval; |
|
|
|
the facilities of our third-party manufacturers or suppliers may not meet applicable requirements; |
|
|
|
any failure to comply with preclinical, clinical or other regulations; |
|
|
|
our inability to meet the FDAs statistical requirements or changes in statistical tests or significance levels the FDA requires for approval of a medical device, including ours; and |
|
|
|
changes in the FDA approval policies, expectations with regard to the type or amount of scientific data required or adoption of new regulations may require additional data or additional clinical studies.
|
Furthermore, in order to market our products outside of the United States, we will need to establish and comply with the
numerous and varying regulatory requirements of other countries regarding quality, safety and efficacy. We received a CE Certificate of Conformity in the EEA for our Sensei system in September 2006, for our Artisan catheters in May 2007, for our
Lynx catheters in September 2010, for our Magellan Robotic System in July 2011 for our Magellan Robotic Catheter and related accessories designed for use with the Magellan Robotic System in October 2011, and for our Artisan Extend catheters in
February 2013. However, we may be required to go through new conformity assessment procedures with our Notified Body in the EEA in order to market our products for any additional uses. Regulatory approvals or CE Certificates of Conformity may be
difficult and costly to obtain, or may not be granted or obtained at all. If we are unable to maintain our regulatory clearances and CE Certificates of Conformity and obtain future clearances and CE Certificates of Conformity for our products, our
financial condition and cash flow may be adversely affected, and our ability to grow domestically and internationally may be limited.
If physicians and hospitals do not believe that our Sensei system and Artisan catheters are a viable alternative to existing mapping
technologies used in atrial fibrillation and other cardiac ablation procedures, or if they do not believe that our Magellan Robotic System and Magellan Robotic Catheters are a viable alternative for vascular diseases, they may choose not to use our
products.
We believe that physicians will not use, and hospitals will not purchase, our systems unless they determine that they
provide a safe and effective alternative to existing treatments. Since we have received FDA clearance to market our Sensei system and disposable Artisan catheters only for guiding catheters to map the heart anatomy, we will not be able to label or
promote these products, or train physicians, for use in guiding catheters for cardiac ablation until such clearance or approval is obtained. Currently, there is only limited clinical data on our Sensei system with which to assess its safety and
efficacy in any procedure, including atrial fibrillation and other cardiac ablation procedures. A number of studies have been published since the commercial launch of our Sensei system in 2007 on the efficacy, safety and efficiency of our products,
especially by comparison to manual techniques. While we believe many of those studies have demonstrated the benefits of our products, some of these studies have been cited by our competitors to portray our products in an unfavorable light. A number
of additional studies are underway both in the United States and Europe assessing the clinical experience with our products and continuing to compare usability and success of treatment between procedures performed with our Sensei system and manual
technique. If these studies, or other clinical studies performed by us or others, or clinical experience indicate that procedures with our Sensei system or the type of procedures that can be performed with the Sensei system are not effective or safe
for such uses, physicians may choose not to use our Sensei system. Reluctance by physicians to use our Sensei system or to perform procedures enabled by the Sensei system would harm sales. Furthermore, we commenced the
34
commercialization of our Magellan Robotic System and Magellan Robotic Catheters for the treatment of vascular diseases, but there is very little clinical data for the systems safety and
efficacy. Reluctance by physicians to use our Magellan Robotic System or to perform procedures enabled by the Magellan Robotic System would harm these sales. Further, unsatisfactory patient outcomes or patient injury in either of our major products
could cause negative publicity for our products, particularly in the early phases of product introduction. In addition, physicians may be slow to adopt our products if they perceive liability risks arising from the use of these new products. It is
also possible that as our products become more widely used, latent or other defects could be identified, creating negative publicity and liability problems for us, thereby adversely affecting demand for our products. If physicians do not adopt the
use of our products in their practices, we likely will not become profitable on a sustained basis and our business will be harmed. Our research and development efforts and our marketing strategy depend heavily on obtaining support and collaboration
from highly regarded physicians at leading hospitals. If we are unable to gain or maintain such support and collaboration, our ability to market our Sensei system and Magellan Robotic System and, as a result, our business and results of operations,
could be harmed.
We expect to derive substantially all of our revenues from sales of our Sensei system, our recently-introduced
Magellan Robotic System and the associated catheters and accessories. If hospitals do not purchase our systems, we may not generate sufficient revenues to continue our operations.
Our initial commercial offering consisted primarily of two products, our Sensei system and our corresponding disposable Artisan catheters. The
Sensei system has been supplemented by an optional CoHesion Module and, in the third quarter of 2010, we introduced our Lynx catheter in Europe. In order for us to achieve sales, hospitals must purchase our Sensei system and Artisan and Lynx
catheters. We also received the CE Mark in Europe for our Magellan Robotic System in July 2011 and for the Magellan Robotic Catheter and related accessories designed for use with the Magellan Robotic System in October 2011. We received FDA clearance
to commercialize our Magellan Robotic System including the catheter and accessories in June 2012 and we received FDA clearance for the marketing of our Magellan 6Fr Robotic Catheter in February 2014. Because we have shipped only slightly more than
110 Sensei systems and our Magellan Robotic System has only recently been commercially introduced, our systems have limited product and brand recognition. Furthermore, we do not believe hospitals will purchase our products unless the physicians at
those hospitals express a strong desire to use our products and we cannot predict whether they will do so. If hospitals do not widely adopt our Sensei system or Magellan Robotic System, or if they decide that our systems are too expensive to
purchase or operate, we may never achieve significant revenue, become profitable or sustain profitability. Such a failure to adequately sell our Sensei system or Magellan Robotic System would have a materially detrimental impact on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
We may incur significant liability if it is determined that we are promoting
off-label use of our products in violation of federal, state and countries regulations in the United States or elsewhere.
Our
promotional materials and training methods regarding physicians must comply with FDA limitations and other applicable laws and regulations. Both our Magellan and Sensei systems are cleared by the FDA and CE marked in the EEA for defined uses. We
believe that the specific procedures for which our products are marketed fall within the scope of the applications that have been cleared by the FDA or are CE marked in the EEA. If the FDA or the competent authorities of the EEA countries determine
that our promotional materials or training constitutes promotion of a use which has not been approved or does not fall within the scope of the current CE mark, they could request that we modify our training or promotional materials or subject us to
regulatory or enforcement actions, including the issuance of an untitled letter, a warning letter, injunction, seizure, civil fine and criminal penalties.
We have received FDA clearance to market our Sensei system and Artisan catheters only to facilitate manipulation, positioning and control for
collecting electrophysiological data within the heart atria with two specified mapping catheters, which is a critical step in the identification of the heart tissue generating abnormal heart rhythms that may require ablation or other treatment.
Because the FDA has determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that physicians may choose to use our products off-label, and that harm may result, we are required to label these products to state that their safety and effectiveness for use
with cardiac ablation catheters in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation have not been established. We have commenced a clinical trial for the use of our Sensei system and Artisan catheter with an ablation catheter in
the treatment of atrial fibrillation as part of our process to expand our current labeling in the U.S. beyond mapping. Thus, efforts are underway to eventually seek regulatory clearance or approval for the use of our Sensei system in atrial
fibrillation procedures. We may subsequently seek regulatory clearance for use of our Sensei system for use with other catheters. The future of our electrophysiology business will depend primarily on the use of our Sensei system in the treatment of
atrial fibrillation and other cardiovascular procedures, for which we do not yet, and may never, have FDA clearance or approval.
Unless
and until we receive regulatory clearance or approval for use of our Sensei system with ablation catheters or in these procedures, uses of our Sensei system in these procedures will be considered off-label uses and which therefore could increase the
risk of product liability claims. Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and other similar laws, we are prohibited from labeling or promoting our products, or training physicians, for such off-label uses. This prohibition means that the FDA
could deem it unlawful for us to make claims about the quality, safety or effectiveness of our Sensei system for use with ablation catheters and in cardiac ablation procedures and that we may not proactively discuss or provide information or
training on the use of our product in cardiac ablation procedures or use with unapproved catheters, with very limited exceptions.
In
2012, FDA cleared our Magellan Robotic System for use to facilitate navigation to anatomical targets in the peripheral vasculature. Our FDA cleared labeling does not further specify the scope of the targets within the peripheral vasculature that are
encompassed in the 510(k) clearance. The FDA could disagree with our interpretation of the scope of this clearance. If the FDA
35
concludes that our promotional materials exceed the scope of this clearance, the agency may retroactively require us to seek 510(k) clearance or PMA approval and such uses could be considered
off-label use subject to the same restrictions as the use of the Sensei system in cardiac ablation procedures. The FDA also can require us to cease marketing for any claims beyond the scope of the clearance, and can take other enforcement actions as
outlined above.
The FDA and other competent authorities and agencies actively enforce regulations prohibiting promotion of off-label uses
and the promotion of products for which marketing clearance, approval or CE Certificates of Conformity has not been obtained. Moreover, scrutiny of such practices by the FDA and other competent authorities and agencies has recently increased. In the
United States, promotional activities for FDA regulated products of other companies have been the subject of enforcement action brought under healthcare reimbursement laws and consumer protection statutes. A company that is found to have improperly
promoted off-label uses may be subject to significant liability, including civil and administrative remedies under the Federal False Claims Act and various other federal and state laws, as well as criminal sanctions. Administrative, civil and
criminal sanctions can also be imposed in foreign countries.
For all of our products, including both the Sensei and Magellan systems, we
believe that the way in which they are marketed is consistent with the FDA clearance. However, the FDA and the competent authorities in the EEA countries could disagree and require us to stop promoting our products for certain procedures until we
obtain FDA clearance or approval or a specific CE Certificate of Conformity for them and/or could require us to initiate corrective actions that could include issuing corrective advertising. In addition, the FDA and the competent authorities in the
EEA countries could require us to generate and submit significant quality, safety and efficacy data to support use in those procedures for which the agency or the competent authorities of the EEA countries require clearance, approval or a specific
CE Certificate of Conformity. If we are perceived not to be in compliance with all of the restrictions limiting the promotion of our products for off-label use, we could be subject to various enforcement measures, including investigations,
administrative proceedings and foreign, federal and state court litigation, which would likely be costly to defend and harmful to our business. If the FDA or another competent authority ultimately concludes we are not in compliance with such
restrictions, we could be subject to significant liability, including civil and administrative remedies, injunctions against sales for off-label uses, significant monetary and punitive penalties and criminal sanctions, any or all of which would be
harmful to our business and in certain instances may cause us to have to cease operations.
The training required for physicians to
use our Sensei system and Magellan Robotic System could reduce the market acceptance of our system and reduce our revenue.
It is
critical to the success of our sales efforts to ensure that there are a sufficient number of physicians familiar with, trained on and proficient in the use of our Sensei system and Magellan Robotic System. Convincing physicians to dedicate the time
and energy necessary for adequate training in the use of our systems is challenging, and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in these efforts.
It is our policy to train U.S. physicians to only insert, navigate, map and remove catheters using our Sensei system. Physicians must obtain
training elsewhere to learn how to ablate cardiac tissue to treat atrial fibrillation, which is an off-label procedure with our Sensei system. This training may be provided in the U.S. by third parties, such as hospitals and universities and through
independent peer-to-peer training among doctors. We cannot assure you that a sufficient number of U.S. physicians will become aware of training programs or that physicians will dedicate the time, funds and energy necessary for adequate training in
the use of our system for these off label procedures. Additionally, we will have no control over the quality of these training programs. If physicians are not properly trained, they may misuse or ineffectively use our products. This may result in
unsatisfactory outcomes, patient injury, negative publicity or lawsuits against us, any of which could negatively affect our reputation and sales of our products. Furthermore, our inability to educate and train U.S. physicians to use our Sensei
system for cardiac ablation procedures may lead to inadequate demand for our products and have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
We monitor our training to ensure that off-label use is not promoted or enabled. However, from time to time, we may sponsor third party
training. There is a risk that independent peer-to-peer interaction between physicians and other third party training may include discussion or observation of off-label procedures because most procedures performed to date using the Sensei system
involve both mapping and cardiac ablation. If any such activities are attributed to us, the FDA or other governmental entities could conclude that we have engaged in off-label promotion of our products, which could subject us to significant
liability.
Because our markets are highly competitive, customers may choose to purchase our competitors products, which would
result in reduced revenue and harm our financial results.
Our Sensei system is still considered a new technology and must compete
with established manual interventional methods and methods of our competitors, such as Stereotaxis, Inc., in remote navigation. Conventional manual methods are widely accepted in the medical community, have a long history of use and do not require
the purchase of additional, expensive capital equipment. The Stereotaxis Niobe® system, which has been in the market since 2003, four years earlier than our Sensei system, has been adopted by
a number of leading clinicians. Similarly, our Magellan Robotic System is a new technology and must compete with established manual interventional techniques. In addition, many of the medical conditions that can be treated using our products can
also be treated with existing drugs or other medical devices and procedures. Many of these alternative treatments are widely accepted in the medical community and have a long history of use.
36
We also face competition from companies that are developing drugs or other medical devices or
procedures to treat the conditions for which our products are intended. The medical device and pharmaceutical industries make significant investments in research and development and innovation is rapid and continuous. If new products or technologies
emerge that provide the same or superior benefits as our products at equal or lesser cost, they could render our products obsolete or unmarketable. We cannot be certain that physicians will use our products to replace or supplement established
treatments or that our products will be competitive with current or future products and technologies.
Most of our competitors enjoy
several competitive advantages over us, including:
|
|
|
significantly greater name recognition; |
|
|
|
longer operating histories; |
|
|
|
established relations with healthcare professionals, customers and third-party payors; |
|
|
|
established distribution networks; |
|
|
|
additional lines of products, and the ability to offer rebates or bundle products to offer higher discounts or incentives to gain a competitive advantage; |
|
|
|
greater experience in conducting research and development, manufacturing, clinical trials, obtaining regulatory clearance for products and marketing approved products; and |
|
|
|
greater financial and human resources for product development, sales and marketing, and patent litigation. |
In addition, as the markets for medical devices develop, additional competitors could enter the market. As a result, we cannot assure you that
we will be able to compete successfully against existing or new competitors. Our revenues would be reduced or eliminated if our competitors develop and market products that are more effective and less expensive than our products.
We expect to continue to experience extended and variable sales cycles, which could cause significant variability in our results of
operations for any given quarter.
Our systems have a lengthy sales cycle because they involve a relatively expensive capital
equipment purchase, which generally requires the approval of senior management at hospitals, inclusion in the hospitals budget process for capital expenditures and, in some instances, a certificate of need from the state or other regulatory
clearance. We continue to estimate that this sales cycle may take between six and 18 months, though we have seen sales cycles lengthen towards the longer end of this range as many potential customers have postponed purchase decisions. Additionally,
the majority of our revenue is often shipped in the last weeks of a given quarter. Any disruption in our supply chain during those critical weeks or an inability to fulfill our deliverables during that compressed time frame could significantly
impact the timing of our ability to recognize revenue on those items. These factors have contributed in the past and may contribute in the future to substantial fluctuations in our quarterly operating results, particularly in the near term and
during any other periods in which our sales volume is relatively low. As a result, in future quarters our operating results could differ from our announcements of guidance regarding future operating or financial results or may fail to meet the
expectations of securities analysts or investors, in which event our stock price would likely decrease. These fluctuations also mean that you will not be able to rely upon our operating results in any particular period as an indication of future
performance. In addition, the introduction of new products such as our Magellan Robotic System and Magellan Robotic Catheters could adversely impact our sales cycle, as customers take additional time to assess the benefits of new investments in
capital products.
The use of our products could result in product liability claims that could be expensive, divert
managements attention and harm our reputation and business.
Our business exposes us to significant risks of product
liability claims that are inherent in the testing, manufacturing and marketing of medical devices. Moreover, the FDA has expressed concerns regarding the safety and efficacy of our Sensei system for ablation and other therapeutic indications,
including for the treatment of atrial fibrillation and has specifically instructed that our products be labeled to inform our customers that the safety and effectiveness of our technology for use with cardiac ablation catheters in the treatment of
cardiac arrhythmias, including for atrial fibrillation, have not been established. We presently believe that to date, all of the procedures in which our Sensei system has been used in the United States have included off-label uses such as cardiac
ablation, for which our Sensei system and Artisan catheters have not been cleared by the FDA and which therefore could increase the risk of product liability claims. The medical device industry has historically been subject to extensive litigation
over product liability claims. We may be subject to claims by consumers, healthcare providers, third-party payors or others selling our products if the use of our products were to cause, or merely appear to cause, injury or death. Any weakness in
training and services associated with our products may also result in product liability lawsuits. Although we maintain clinical trial liability and product liability insurance, the coverage is subject to deductibles and limitations, and may not be
adequate to cover future claims. Additionally, we may be unable to maintain our existing product liability insurance in the future at satisfactory rates or adequate amounts. A product liability claim, regardless of its merit or eventual outcome
could result in:
|
|
|
decreased demand for our products; |
37
|
|
|
injury to our reputation; |
|
|
|
diversion of managements attention; |
|
|
|
withdrawal of clinical trial participants; |
|
|
|
significant costs of related litigation; |
|
|
|
payment of substantial monetary awards to patients; |
|
|
|
product recalls or market withdrawals; |
|
|
|
the inability to commercialize our products under development. |
We may be unable to
complete the development and commercialization of our existing and anticipated products without additional funding.
Our operations
have consumed substantial amounts of cash since inception. We expect to continue to spend substantial amounts on research and development. We expect to spend significant additional amounts on the continuing commercialization of our products and the
development and introduction of new products. Net cash used in operating activities was $32.6 million for the third quarter of 2014. We expect that our cash used in operations will be significant in each of the next several years, and we will need
additional funds to continue the commercialization of both our Sensei system and our Magellan Robotic System in addition to ongoing product expansions.
Additional financing may not be available on a timely basis on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Furthermore, even if financing becomes
available, the cost to us may be significantly higher than in the past. Any additional financing may be dilutive to stockholders or may require us to grant a lender a security interest in our intellectual property assets. The amount of funding we
will need will depend on many factors, including:
|
|
|
the success of our research and product development efforts; |
|
|
|
the expenses we incur in selling and marketing our products; |
|
|
|
the costs and timing of future regulatory clearances; |
|
|
|
the revenue generated by sales of our current and future products; |
|
|
|
the gross margins generated by our revenues and cost of sales; |
|
|
|
the rate of progress and cost of our clinical trials and other development activities; |
|
|
|
the emergence of competing or complementary technological developments; |
|
|
|
the cost of legal fees relating to shareholder lawsuits and government investigations; |
|
|
|
the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights, or participating in litigation-related activities; |
|
|
|
the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing or other arrangements that we may establish; and |
|
|
|
the acquisition of businesses, products and technologies. |
If adequate funds are not
available, we may have to delay development or commercialization of our products or license to third parties the rights to commercialize products or technologies that we would otherwise seek to commercialize. We also may have to reduce marketing,
customer support or other resources devoted to our products. Any of these factors could harm our financial condition.
Our products
and related technologies can be applied in different applications, and we may fail to focus on the most profitable areas or we may be unable to address successfully financial and technology risks associated with new applications, including
applications for the vascular market.
We may be unable to develop or commercialize our technology for additional applications. The
technology underlying our systems is designed to have the potential for applications beyond electrophysiology and vascular disease which require a control catheter to approach diseased tissue. We further believe that the technology underlying our
system can provide multiple opportunities to improve the speed and capability of many diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. However, we may be unable, due to limited financial or managerial resources, to develop these applications and seek a
separate 510(k) clearance or PMA approval from the FDA for these applications of our technology. Also, due to our limited financial and managerial resources, we may be required to focus on products in selected applications and to forego efforts with
regard to other products and industries including expansion of our electrophysiology and vascular applications as well as the development of other applications. Failure to capitalize on other applications for our technology may limit the addressable
market for our products and our ability to grow our revenues and expand our operations.
38
We are dedicating significant resources to the development and commercialization of our Magellan
Robotic System, Magellan Robotic Catheters and associated accessories. These efforts may not produce viable commercial products and may divert our limited resources from more profitable market opportunities. Moreover, we may devote resources to
developing products in additional areas but may be unable to justify the value proposition or otherwise develop a commercial market for products we develop in these areas, if any. In that case, the return on investment in these additional areas may
be limited, which could negatively affect our results of operations.
If we fail to maintain collaborative relationships with
providers of imaging and visualization technology on terms favorable to us, or at all, our Sensei system may not be able to gain market acceptance and our business may be harmed.
Our success depends on our ability to continually enhance and broaden our product offerings in response to changing technologies, customer
demands and competitive pressures. We believe that integrating our Sensei system with key imaging and visualization technologies using an open architecture approach is a key element in establishing our Sensei system as important for complex
interventional procedures. Our Sensei system currently utilizes a variety of imaging means to visualize and assist in navigating our catheters. These imaging systems include fluoroscopy, intravascular ultrasound and electro-anatomic mapping systems,
as well as pre-operatively acquired three-dimensional computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. We believe that in the future, as imaging companies develop increasingly sophisticated three-dimensional imaging systems, we will need to
integrate advanced imaging into our Sensei system in order to compete effectively. There can be no assurance that we can timely and effectively integrate these systems or components into our Sensei system in order to remain competitive. We expect to
face competition from companies that are developing new approaches and products for use in interventional procedures and that have an established presence in the field of interventional cardiology, including the major imaging, capital equipment and
disposables companies that are currently selling products in the electrophysiology laboratory. We may not be able to acquire or develop three-dimensional imaging and visualization technology for use with our Sensei system. In addition, developing or
acquiring key imaging and visualization technologies could be expensive and time-consuming and may not integrate well with our Sensei system. If we are unable to timely acquire, develop or integrate imaging and visualization technologies, or any
other changing technologies, effectively, our revenue may decline and our business will suffer.
In April 2007, we entered into agreements
with St. Jude Medical, Inc., or St. Jude, to integrate our Sensei system with St. Judes Ensite system and to co-market the integrated product. We are not obligated to undertake any other development projects except for the integration of the
Sensei system with the EnSite system. We are solely responsible for gaining regulatory approvals for, and all costs associated with, our portion of the integrated products developed under the arrangement. At the end of the second quarter of 2008,
the FDA cleared for marketing in the United States our CoHesion Module, which provides an interface between our Sensei system and the EnSite system; however, there can be no assurance that we will successfully maintain necessary regulatory
clearances; that we and St. Jude will maintain compatibility of our products under the collaboration; or that the CoHesion Module will gain market acceptance. In August 2010, we entered into an agreement with St. Jude permitting us to integrate
St. Judes EnSite Velocity Cardiac Mapping System with our CoHesion Module to provide physicians the ability to visualize, locate and robotically control catheters within the heart to diagnose heart rhythm disorders. This agreement was amended
in February 2014, and will expire in December 2014 unless extended by mutual agreement of the parties. If the agreement is not extended, we may be unable to maintain our ability to offer integration with the EnSite Velocity System with new system
sales, or to maintain compatibility with updated or upgraded versions of EnSite Velocity, which could adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.
Indemnification obligations to our current and former directors and officers and contractual indemnification obligations to underwriters
of our securities offerings could adversely affect our ability to defend claims for which we may be liable, our results of operations, our financial condition and our cash flows.
Under Delaware law, our charter documents and certain indemnification agreements, we may have an obligation to indemnify our current and former
officers, employees and directors under certain circumstances. In addition, we have contractual indemnification obligations to the underwriters and placement agents in our prior public and private offerings, as applicable, of our equity
securities. Some of these advancement and indemnification obligations may not be covered by our directors and officers insurance policies or may exceed the coverage limits of those policies. If we incur significant uninsured advancement
or indemnity obligations, it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to defend claims for which we may be liable, our results of operations, our financial condition and our cash flows.
Software defects may be discovered in our products which would damage our ability to sell our products and our results of operations.
Our systems incorporate sophisticated computer software. Complex software frequently contains errors, especially when first
introduced. Because our products are designed to be used to perform complex interventional procedures, we expect that physicians and hospitals will have an increased sensitivity to the potential for software and other defects. We cannot assure you
that our software will not experience errors or performance problems in the future. If we experience software errors or performance problems, we would likely also experience:
|
|
|
an increase in reportable adverse events to applicable authorities such as the FDA; |
|
|
|
delay in market acceptance of our products; |
39
|
|
|
damage to our reputation; |
|
|
|
additional regulatory filings; |
|
|
|
increased service or warranty costs; and/or |
|
|
|
product liability claims relating to the software defects. |
Our costs could
substantially increase if we receive a significant number of service claims which would harm our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We typically provide post-contract customer service for each of our products against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of
approximately 12 months from the delivery or acceptance of our product by a customer which is normally when the system is installed. The associated expenses are charged to cost of revenues as incurred. We have a limited history of commercial
placements of our Sensei systems and a very limited history of commercial placements of our Magellan Robotic Systems from which to judge our rate of claims against our service contracts. Our obligation under these service contracts may be impacted
by product failure rates, material usage and service costs. Unforeseen exposure under these post-contract customer service contracts could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Hospitals or physicians may be unable to obtain coverage or reimbursement from third-party payors for procedures using our Sensei system
and Magellan Robotic System, which could affect the adoption or use of our systems and may cause our revenues to decline.
We
anticipate that third-party payors will continue to reimburse hospitals and physicians under existing billing codes for the vast majority of the procedures involving our products. We expect that healthcare facilities and physicians in the United
States will continue to bill various third-party payors, such as Medicare, Medicaid, other governmental programs and private insurers, for services performed using our products. We believe that procedures targeted for use with our products are
generally already reimbursable under government programs and most private plans. Accordingly, we believe providers in the United States will generally not be required to obtain new billing authorizations or codes in order to be compensated for
performing medically necessary procedures using our products on insured patients.
There can be no assurance, however, that coverage,
coding and reimbursement policies of third-party payors will not change in the future with respect to some or all of the procedures that would use our systems. Additionally, in the event that a physician uses our Sensei system or Magellan Robotic
System for indications not approved by the FDA, there can be no assurance that the coverage or reimbursement policies of third-party payors will be comparable to FDA-approved uses. Future legislation, regulation or coverage, coding and reimbursement
policies of third-party payors may adversely affect the demand for our products currently under development and limit our ability to profitably sell our products. For example, in prior years, certain regulatory changes were made to the methodology
for calculating payments for inpatient procedures in certain hospitals, resulting in a decrease to Medicare payment rates for surgical and cardiac procedures, including those procedures for which our products are targeted. The majority of the
procedures performed with our Sensei system and Artisan catheter are done on an in-patient basis and thus are paid under the Medicare severity diagnosis related group, or MS-DRG system.
We believe that the majority of procedures performed using our Sensei technology fall under MS-DRG 251, percutaneous cardiovascular
procedures without coronary artery stent or acute myocardial infarction without major cardiovascular complication. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services update the MS-DRG payment rates annually effective October 1 through
September 30 of the following year. Because hospital inpatient reimbursement is largely dependent on geographical location and other hospital-specific factors, an individual hospitals revenues from using our technology can vary
significantly. At this time, although payments for these cardiac procedures have not undergone further reductions, we cannot predict the full impact any future rate changes, including rate reductions, will have on our revenues or business. We do not
currently know which MS-DRGs will apply to procedures performed with our Magellan Robotic System or whether reimbursement amounts will be considered favorable by hospitals.
Our success in international markets also depends upon the eligibility of our products for coverage and reimbursement by government-sponsored
healthcare payment systems and third-party payors. Recent legislative initiatives in the United States to reform healthcare and government insurance programs have included a focus on healthcare costs which could limit the coverage and reimbursement
for procedures utilizing our products. In both the United States and foreign markets, healthcare cost-containment efforts are prevalent and are expected to continue and may increase. The failure of our customers to obtain sufficient reimbursement
could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and harm our business.
Legislative reforms to the United States
healthcare system may adversely affect our revenues and business.
From time to time, legislative reform measures are proposed or
adopted that would impact healthcare expenditures for medical services, including the medical devices used to provide those services. For example, in March 2010, U.S. President Barack Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as
amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, collectively referred to as the Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act made a number of substantial changes in the way health
40
care is financed by both governmental and private insurers and the way that Medicare providers are reimbursed. Among other things, the Affordable Care Act requires certain medical device
manufacturers and importers to pay an excise tax equal to 2.3% of the price for which such medical devices are sold, beginning January 1, 2013.
In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. On August 2, 2011,
the President signed into law the Budget Control Act of 2011, which, among other things, created the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to recommend to Congress proposals in spending reductions. The Joint Select Committee did not achieve a
targeted deficit reduction of at least $1.2 trillion for the years 2013 through 2021, triggering the legislations automatic reduction to several government programs. This includes reductions to Medicare payments to providers of 2.0% per
fiscal year. On January 2, 2013, President Obama signed into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, or the ATRA, which delayed for another two months the budget cuts mandated by these sequestration provisions of the Budget Control Act of
2011. On March 1, 2013, the President signed an executive order implementing sequestration, and on April 1, 2013, the 2% Medicare payment reductions went into effect. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, enacted on December 26, 2013,
extends these cuts to 2023. The ATRA also, among other things, reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitals, imaging centers and cancer treatment centers, and increased the statute of limitations period for the government to
recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. We expect that additional state and federal healthcare reform measures will be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that federal and state governments will pay
for healthcare products and services, which could result in reduced demand for our products or additional pricing pressure.
Government
and private sector initiatives to limit the growth of health care costs, including price regulation, competitive pricing, coverage and payment policies, comparative effectiveness reviews of therapies, technology assessments, and managed-care
arrangements, are continuing. Government programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, private health care insurance and managed-care plans have attempted to control costs by limiting the amount of reimbursement they will pay for particular procedures
or treatments, tying reimbursement to outcomes, and other mechanisms designed to constrain utilization and contain costs, including delivery reforms such as expanded bundling of services. Hospitals are also seeking to reduce costs through a variety
of mechanisms, which may increase price sensitivity among customers for our products, and adversely affect sales, pricing, and utilization of our products. Some third-party payors must also approve coverage for new or innovative devices or therapies
before they will reimburse health care providers who use the medical devices or therapies. We cannot predict the potential impact of cost-containment trends on future operating results.
New regulations related to conflict minerals could adversely impact our business.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act contains provisions to improve transparency and accountability concerning the
supply of certain minerals, known as conflict minerals, originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and adjoining countries. As a result, in August 2012 the SEC adopted annual disclosure and reporting requirements for those companies who
use conflict minerals mined from the DRC and adjoining countries in their products. These new requirements required due diligence efforts in 2013 and 2014, with initial disclosure requirements beginning in May 2014. In May 2014 we filed a
Specialized Disclosure Report on Form SD with the SEC disclosing our on-going diligence efforts and our determination that our products are conflict undeterminable as of the date of filing.
There have been and will be costs associated with complying with these disclosure requirements, including for diligence to determine the
sources of conflict minerals used in our products and other potential changes to products, processes or sources of supply as a consequence of such verification activities. The implementation of these rules could adversely affect the sourcing, supply
and pricing of materials used in our products. As there may be only a limited number of suppliers offering conflict free conflict minerals, we cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain necessary conflict minerals from such suppliers
in sufficient quantities or at competitive prices. Also, we may face reputational challenges if we determine that certain of our products contain minerals not determined to be conflict free or if we are unable to sufficiently verify the origins for
all conflict minerals used in our products through the procedures we may implement.
Environmental laws and regulations such as the
recent RoHS directives, could cause a disruption in our business and operations.
We are subject to various state, federal and
international laws and regulations governing the environment, including those restricting the presence of certain substances in electronic products and making manufacturers of those products financially responsible for the collection, treatment and
recycling and disposal of certain products. Such laws and regulations have been passed in several jurisdictions in which we operate, including various EU member countries. For example, the EU has enacted the WEEE directives. The WEEE directive
obligates parties that place electrical and electronic equipment on the market in the EU to put a clearly identifiable mark on the equipment, register with and report to EU member countries regarding distribution of the equipment and provide a
mechanism to take back and properly dispose of the equipment. Another example are the RoHS2 directives. On July 1, 2011, the Official Journal of the EU published the revised Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2) on the restriction on the use of certain
hazardous substances (six materials specifically identified) in electrical and electronic equipment. This revised Directive (RoHS2) became effective July 21, 2011. The EU used a time-phased approach and identified 10 categories of products that
needed to meet these new standards at various start dates.
41
Category 8 includes medical devices and applies to our products. Compliance with this revised
directive for category 8 was required by July 22, 2014. All new products held for commerce in the EU must be in compliance with RoHS 2 as of that date. Any remaining inventory that is not in compliance with RoHS2 will be used in product sold in
non-EU countries. RoHS2 compliant products may be sold in both EU and non-EU countries. However, only RoHS2 compliant products may be sold in EU countries. In order to minimize duplicate inventory, we plan to produce all future products in
compliance with RoHS2 in order to sell them in both EU and non-EU countries. We recently undertook the lengthy process of changing the materials and processes used, where necessary, to bring our products into compliance with RoHS2. As of the date of
filing of this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q, all of our products sold in the EU are RoHS2 compliant. There can be no assurance that similar programs will not be implemented in other jurisdictions resulting in additional costs, possible delays in
delivering products, and even the discontinuance of existing and planned future product replacements if the cost were to become prohibitive.
If we do not effectively manage our growth, we may be unable to successfully develop, market and sell our products.
Our future revenue and operating results will depend on our ability to manage the possible future growth of our business. We have experienced
periods of significant growth in the scope of our operations. This growth has placed significant demands on our management, as well as our financial and operations resources. In order to achieve our business objectives, however, we will need to
continue to grow, which presents numerous challenges, including:
|
|
|
implementing appropriate operational and financial systems and controls; |
|
|
|
expanding manufacturing capacity, increasing production and improving margins; |
|
|
|
developing our sales and marketing infrastructure and capabilities; |
|
|
|
identifying, attracting and retaining qualified personnel in our areas of activity; and |
|
|
|
training, managing and supervising our personnel worldwide. |
Any failure to effectively manage
our growth could impede our ability to successfully develop, market and sell our products and harm our business.
We sell our
systems internationally and are subject to various risks relating to such international activities which could adversely affect our international sales and operating performance.
A portion of our current and future revenues will come from international sales. To expand internationally, we will need to hire, train and
retain additional qualified personnel. Engaging in international business inherently involves a number of difficulties and risks, including:
|
|
|
required compliance with existing and changing foreign regulatory requirements and laws; |
|
|
|
export or import restrictions and controls relating to technology; |
|
|
|
laws and business practices favoring local companies; |
|
|
|
difficulties in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through certain foreign legal systems; |
|
|
|
political and economic instability; |
|
|
|
potentially adverse tax consequences, tariffs and other trade barriers; |
|
|
|
international terrorism and anti-American sentiment; |
|
|
|
difficulties in penetrating markets in which our competitors products are more established; |
|
|
|
difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations; and |
|
|
|
difficulties in enforcing intellectual property rights. |
If one or more of these risks are
realized, it could require us to dedicate significant resources to remedy the situation, and if we are unsuccessful at finding a solution, our revenue may decline.
Our financial results are subject to currency fluctuations as a result of our international operations which could decrease our
revenues.
In the third quarter of 2014, approximately 52% of our total revenues were generated outside the United States. While
some of these revenues were denominated in U.S. dollars, approximately 10% of our total revenues for the third quarter of 2014 were generated in other currencies. We translate results of transactions denominated in local currencies into U.S. dollars
using market conversion rates applicable to the period in which the transaction is reported. As a result, changes in exchange rates during a period can unpredictably and adversely affect our consolidated operating results and our asset and liability
balances, even if the underlying value of the item in its original currency has not changed.
42
Our business may be harmed by a natural disaster, terrorist attacks or other unanticipated
problems.
Our manufacturing and office facilities are located in Mountain View, California. Despite precautions taken by us, a
natural disaster such as fire or earthquake, a terrorist attack or other unanticipated problems at our facilities could interrupt our ability to manufacture our products or operate our business. These disasters or problems may also destroy our
product inventories. While we carry limited insurance, any prolonged or repeated disruption or inability to manufacture our products or operate our business could result in losses that exceed the amount of coverage provided by this insurance, and in
such event could harm our business.
We may be liable for contamination or other harm caused by materials that we handle, and
changes in environmental regulations could cause us to incur additional expense.
Our research and development, manufacturing and
clinical processes involve the handling of potentially harmful biological materials as well as other hazardous materials. We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the use, handling, storage and disposal of hazardous
and biological materials and we incur expenses relating to compliance with these laws and regulations. If violations of environmental, health and safety laws occur, we could be held liable for damages, penalties and costs of remedial actions. These
expenses or this liability could have a significant negative impact on our financial condition. We may violate environmental, health and safety laws in the future as a result of human error, equipment failure or other causes. Environmental laws
could become more stringent over time, imposing greater compliance costs and increasing risks and penalties associated with violations. We are subject to potentially conflicting and changing regulatory agendas of political, business and
environmental groups. Changes to or restrictions on permitting requirements or processes, hazardous or biological material storage or handling might require an unplanned capital investment or relocation. Failure to comply with new or existing laws
or regulations could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes to existing accounting
pronouncements or taxation rules or practices may affect how we conduct our business and affect our reported results of operations.
Significant new accounting pronouncements and taxation rules or practices and updated interpretations of existing accounting pronouncements and
taxation rules or practices have occurred in the past and may occur in the future. A change in accounting pronouncements or taxation rules or practices can have a significant effect on our reported results and may even affect our reporting of
transactions completed before the change is effective. In addition, a review of existing or prior accounting practices may result in a change in previously reported amounts. For example, the FASB has recently issued new accounting principles around
revenue recognition and the SEC is considering adoption of international financial reporting standards. These changes to existing rules, future changes, if any, or the questioning of current practices may adversely affect our reported financial
results or the way we conduct our business.
Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
If we are unable to protect the intellectual property contained in our products from use by third parties, our ability to compete in the
market will be harmed.
Our commercial success will depend in part on obtaining patent and other intellectual property protection
for the technologies contained in our products, and on successfully defending our patents and other intellectual property against third party challenges. We expect to incur substantial costs in obtaining patents and, if necessary, defending our
proprietary rights. The patent positions of medical device companies, including ours, can be highly uncertain and involve complex and evolving legal and factual questions. We do not know whether we will be able to obtain the patent protection we
seek, or whether the protection we do obtain will be found valid and enforceable if challenged. We also do not know whether we will be able to develop additional patentable proprietary technologies. If we fail to obtain adequate protection of our
intellectual property, or if any protection we obtain is reduced or eliminated, others could use our intellectual property without compensating us, resulting in harm to our business. We may also determine that it is in our best interests to
voluntarily challenge a third partys products or patents in litigation or administrative proceedings, including patent interferences or reexaminations. In the event that we seek to enforce any of our owned or exclusively licensed patents
against an infringing party, it is likely that the party defending the claim will seek to invalidate the patents we assert, which, if successful could result in the loss of the entire patent or the relevant portion of our patent, which would not be
limited to any particular party. Any litigation to enforce or defend our patent rights, even if we were to prevail, could be costly and time-consuming and could divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.
Our competitors may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or products without infringing any of our patent or other intellectual property rights, or may design around our proprietary technologies.
We cannot assure you that we will obtain the patent protection we seek, that any protection we do obtain will be found valid and enforceable
if challenged or that such patent protection will confer any significant commercial advantage. United States patents and patent applications may also be subject to interference proceedings and United States patents may be subject to reexamination
proceedings and, starting in 2012, post grant and inter parties review in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and foreign patents may be subject to opposition or comparable proceedings in the corresponding foreign patent offices, which
proceedings could result in either loss of the patent or denial of the patent application, or loss or reduction in the scope of one or more of the claims of, the patent or patent application. In addition, such interference, reexamination, post grant
review, inter parties review, and opposition proceedings may be costly. Some of our technology was, and continues to be, developed in conjunction with third
43
parties, and thus there is a risk that such third parties may claim rights in our intellectual property. Thus, any patents that we own or license from others may provide limited or no protection
against competitors. Our pending patent applications, those we may file in the future, or those we may license from third parties, may not result in patents being issued. If issued, they may not provide us with proprietary protection or competitive
advantages against competitors with similar technology.
Non-payment or delay in payment of patent fees or annuities, whether intentional
or unintentional, may result in loss of patents or patent rights important to our business. Many countries, including certain countries in Europe, have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to third
parties. In addition, many countries limit the enforceability of patents against third parties, including government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, the patent owner may have limited remedies, which could materially diminish
the value of the patent. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States, particularly in the field of medical products and procedures.
Our trade secrets, nondisclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to protect unpatented technology provide only limited and
possibly inadequate protection of our rights. As a result, third parties may be able to use our unpatented technology, and our ability to compete in the market would be reduced. In addition, employees, consultants and others who participate in
developing our products or in commercial relationships with us may breach their agreements with us regarding our intellectual property, and we may not have adequate remedies for the breach.
Third parties may assert that we are infringing their intellectual property rights which may result in litigation.
Successfully commercializing our Sensei system, our Magellan Robotic System and any other products we may develop, will depend in part on our
not infringing patents held by third parties. It is possible that one or more of our products, including those that we have developed in conjunction with third parties, infringes existing patents. From time to time, we have received, and likely will
continue to receive, communications from third parties inviting us to license their patents or accusing us of infringement. There can be no assurance that a third party will not take further action, such as filing a patent infringement lawsuit,
including a request for injunctive relief, to bar the manufacture and sale of our Sensei system in the United States or elsewhere or the sale of our Magellan Robotic System in Europe. We may also choose to defend ourselves by initiating litigation
or administrative proceedings to clarify or seek a declaration of our rights. As competition in our market grows, the possibility of a patent infringement claim against us or litigation we will initiate increases.
There may be existing patents which may be broad enough to cover aspects of our future technology. In addition, because patent applications in
many countries such as the United States are maintained under conditions of confidentiality and can take many years to issue, there may be applications now pending of which we are unaware and which may later result in issued patents that our
products infringe. We do not know whether any of these patents, if challenged, would be upheld as valid, enforceable and infringed by our products or technology. From time to time, we receive, and likely will continue to receive, letters from third
parties accusing us of infringing their patents or inviting us to license their patents. We may be sued by, or become involved in an administrative proceeding with, one or more of these or other third parties. We cannot assure you that a court or
administrative body would agree with any arguments or defenses we may present concerning the invalidity, unenforceability or non-infringement of any third-party patent. In addition to the issued patents of which we are aware, other parties may have
filed, and in the future are likely to file, patent applications covering products that are similar or identical to ours. We cannot assure you that any patents issuing from applications will not cover our products or will not have priority over our
own products and patent applications.
We may not be able to maintain or obtain all the licenses from third parties necessary or
advisable for promoting, manufacturing and selling our Sensei system and our Magellan Robotic System, which may cause harm to our business, operations and financial condition.
We rely on technology that we license from others, including technology that is integral to our Sensei system and our Magellan Robotic System,
such as patents and other intellectual property that we have co-exclusively licensed from Intuitive Surgical. Under our agreement with Intuitive Surgical, we received the right to apply Intuitive Surgicals patent portfolio in the field of
intravascular approaches for the diagnosis or treatment of cardiovascular, neurovascular and peripheral vascular diseases. To the extent that we develop or commercialize robotic capability outside the field of use covered by our license with
Intuitive Surgical, which we may choose to do at some time in the future, we may not have the patent protection and the freedom to operate outside the field which is afforded by the license inside the field. Although we believe that there are
opportunities for us to operate outside the licensed field of use without using Intuitive Surgicals intellectual property, Intuitive Surgical from time to time has told us that it believes certain of our past activities that have fallen
outside the licensed field have infringed its intellectual property rights. Although we disagree with Intuitive Surgicals position, we presently remain focused within our licensed field and so have agreed to inform Intuitive Surgical before
commencing any further outside clinical investigations for endoluminal applications or engaging in external technology exhibitions at non-intravascular conferences. There can be no assurance that Intuitive Surgical will not challenge any activities
we engage in outside the intravascular space, and we cannot assure you that in the event of such a challenge we would be able to reach agreement with Intuitive Surgical on whether activities outside our licensed field may be conducted without the
use of the Intuitive Surgicals intellectual property. If Intuitive Surgical asserts that any of our activities outside the licensed field are infringing their patent or other intellectual property rights or commences litigation against us, we
will incur significant costs defending against such claims or seeking an additional license from Intuitive Surgical, and we may be required to limit use of our systems or future products and technologies within our licensed intravascular field if
any of our activities outside the licensed field are judged to infringe Intuitive Surgicals intellectual property, any of which could cause substantial harm our business, operations and financial
44
condition. Although Intuitive Surgical is restricted in how it can terminate our license, if Intuitive Surgical were ever to successfully do so, and if we are unable to obtain another license
from Intuitive Surgical, we could be required to abandon use of our existing product technology completely and could have to undergo a substantial redesign and design-around effort, which we cannot assure you would be successful. In October 2012, we
signed an updated license agreement with Intuitive Surgical. Under the terms of the agreement, Intuitive Surgicals existing co-exclusive rights to our patent portfolio to certain non-vascular procedures have been extended to include patents
filed or conceived by us subsequent to the original 2005 agreement up to and including the period three years subsequent to the amendment. We retain the right to use our intellectual property for all clinical applications, both vascular and
non-vascular.
The medical device industry is characterized by patent litigation and we could become subject to litigation that
could be costly, result in the diversion of managements attention, require us to pay damages and discontinue selling our products.
The medical device industry is characterized by frequent and extensive litigation and administrative proceedings over patent and other
intellectual property rights. Whether a product infringes a patent involves complex legal and factual issues, the determination of which is often difficult to predict, and the outcome may be uncertain until the Court has entered final judgment and
all appeals are exhausted. Our competitors may assert, and have asserted in the past, that our products or the use of our products are covered by United States or foreign patents held by them. This risk is heightened due to the numerous issued and
pending patents relating to the use of robotic and catheter-based procedures in the medical technology field. For example, we have received correspondence from a third party indicating it believes it holds a patent that our Sensei system may
infringe. While we do not believe that the Sensei system infringes this patent, there can be no assurance that the third party will not take further action, such as filing a patent infringement lawsuit, including a request for injunctive relief, to
bar the manufacture and sale of our Sensei system in the United States. If relevant patents are upheld as valid and enforceable and we are found to infringe, we could be prevented from selling our system unless we can obtain a license to use
technology or ideas covered by such patent or are able to redesign our products to avoid infringement. A license may not be available at all or on commercially reasonable terms, and we may not be able to redesign our products to avoid infringement.
Modification of our products or development of new products could require us to conduct additional clinical trials and to revise our filings with the FDA and other regulatory bodies, which would be time-consuming and expensive. If we are not
successful in obtaining a license or redesigning our products, we may be unable to sell our products and our business could suffer. In addition, our patents may be subject to various invalidity attacks, such as those based upon earlier filed patent
applications, patents, publications, products or processes, which might invalidate or limit the scope of the protection that our patents afford.
Infringement actions, validity challenges and other intellectual property claims and proceedings, whether with or without merit, may cause us
to incur substantial costs and could place a significant strain on our financial resources, divert the attention of management from our business and harm our reputation. We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, substantial costs in
obtaining patents and expect to incur substantial costs defending our proprietary rights. Incurring such costs could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
We cannot be certain that we will successfully defend our patents from infringement or claims of invalidity or unenforceability, or that we
will successfully defend against allegations of infringement of third-party patents. In addition, any public announcements related to litigation or administrative proceedings initiated or threatened by us, or initiated or threatened against us,
could cause our stock price to decline.
We may be subject to damages resulting from claims that our employees or we have wrongfully
used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.
Many of our employees were previously employed at universities
or other medical device companies, including our competitors or potential competitors. We could in the future be subject to claims that these employees, or we, have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary
information of their former employers. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. If we fail in defending against such claims, a court could order us to pay substantial damages and prohibit us from using technologies or features
that are essential to our products, if such technologies or features are found to incorporate or be derived from the trade secrets or other proprietary information of the former employers. An inability to incorporate technologies or features that
are important or essential to our products would have a material adverse effect on our business, and may prevent us from selling our products. In addition, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. A loss of key research
personnel or their work product could hamper or prevent our ability to commercialize certain potential products, which could severely harm our business. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, such litigation could result in
substantial costs and be a distraction to management. Incurring such costs could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
Additional Risks Related to Regulatory Matters
If we fail to obtain regulatory clearances in other countries for existing products or products under development, we will not be able to
commercialize these products in those countries.
In order to market our products outside of the United States, we must establish
and comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements of other countries regarding quality, safety and efficacy of our products. Approval and CE marking procedures vary among countries and can involve additional product testing and additional
administrative review periods. The time
45
required to obtain approval or CE Certificate of Conformity in other countries might differ from that required to obtain FDA clearance. The regulatory approval or CE marking process in other
countries may include all of the risks detailed above regarding FDA clearance in the United States. Regulatory approval or the CE marking of a product in one country does not ensure regulatory approval in another, but a failure or delay in obtaining
regulatory approval or a CE Certificate of Conformity in one country may negatively impact the regulatory process in others. Failure to obtain regulatory approval or a CE Certificate of Conformity in other countries or any delay or setback in
obtaining such approval could have the same adverse effects described above regarding FDA clearance in the United States.
For example, in
the EEA, our devices are required to comply with the Essential Requirements laid down in Annex I to the Medical Devices Directive. We are also required to ensure compliance with the relevant quality system requirements laid down in the Annexes to
the Medical Devices Directive. Companies compliant with ISO requirements such as EN ISO 13485: 2003 Medical devices Quality management systems Requirements for regulatory purposes benefit from a presumption of conformity
with the relevant Essential Requirements or the quality system requirements laid down in the Annexes to the Medical Devices Directive. Following successful completion of a conformity assessment procedure conducted in relation to the medical device
and its manufacturer and their conformity with the Essential Requirements and quality system requirements, the Notified Body issues a CE Certificate of Conformity. This Certificate entitles the manufacturer to affix the CE mark to its medical
devices after having prepared and signed a related EC Declaration of Conformity. We received a CE Certificate of Conformity for our Sensei system in September 2006, our Artisan catheters in May 2007, our Lynx catheters in July 2010, our Magellan
Robotic System in July 2011, our Magellan Robotic Catheter and related accessories designed for use with the Magellan Robotic System in October 2011, and our Artisan Extend catheters in February 2013. We cannot be certain that we will be successful
in meeting and continuing to meet the requirements of the Medical Devices Directive in the EEA.
We may fail to comply with
continuing postmarket regulatory requirements of the FDA and other authorities and become subject to substantial penalties, or marketing experience may show that our device is unsafe, forcing us to recall or withdraw it permanently from the market.
We must comply with continuing regulation by the FDA and other authorities, including the FDAs Quality System Regulation, or
QSR, requirements, labeling and promotional requirements and medical device adverse event and other reporting requirements. If the adverse event reports we file with the FDA regarding death, serious injuries or malfunctions indicate or suggest that
the device presents an unacceptable risk to patients, including when used off-label by physicians, we may be forced to recall the device and/or modify the device or its labeling, or withdraw it permanently from the market. The FDA has expressed
concerns regarding the safety of the Sensei system when used with catheters and in procedures not specified in the current label, such as ablation catheters and ablation procedures, and we have already filed Medical Device Reports reporting adverse
events during procedures utilizing our technology. Physicians may be using our device off-label with ablation catheters in ablation procedures, as well as in other electrophysiology procedures for which we have not collected safety data, and we
therefore cannot assure you that clinical experience will demonstrate that the device is safe for these uses.
Any failure to comply, or
any perception that we are not complying, with continuing regulation by the FDA or other authorities, including restrictions regarding off-label promotion, could result in enforcement action that may include suspension or withdrawal of regulatory
clearances approvals, or CE Certificates of Conformity, recalling products, ceasing product marketing, seizure and detention of products, paying significant fines and penalties, criminal prosecution and similar actions that could limit product
sales, delay product shipment and harm our profitability and reputation.
In many foreign countries in which we market our products, we
are subject to regulations affecting, among other things, product standards, packaging requirements, labeling requirements, import restrictions, tariff regulations, duties and tax requirements. Many of these regulations are similar to those of the
FDA. In addition, in many countries the national health or social security organizations require our products to be qualified before procedures performed using our products become eligible for coverage and reimbursement. Failure to receive, or
delays in the receipt of, relevant foreign qualifications could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we fail to comply with applicable foreign regulatory requirements, we may be subject to
fines, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory clearances and CE Certificates of Conformity, product recalls, seizure of products, operating restrictions and criminal prosecution.
46
If we or our contract manufacturers fail to comply with the FDAs Quality System
Regulations, California Department of Health Services requirements or EEA quality system requirements, our manufacturing operations could be interrupted and our product sales and operating results could suffer.
Our manufacturing processes, and those of some of our contract manufacturers, are required to comply with the FDAs QSR which cover the
procedures and documentation of the design, testing, production, control, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, sterilization, storage and shipping of our devices. The FDA enforces the QSR through periodic inspections of manufacturing facilities.
We and our contract manufacturers are subject to such inspections. Similar quality system requirements also apply in the EEA. If our manufacturing facilities or those of any of our contract manufacturers fail to take satisfactory corrective action
in response to an adverse quality system inspection, the FDA, the notified body, the competent authorities in the EEA could take enforcement action, including any of the following sanctions, which could have a material impact on our operations:
|
|
|
untitled letters, warning letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties; |
|
|
|
unanticipated expenditures to address or defend such actions; |
|
|
|
customer notifications for repair, replacement, refunds; |
|
|
|
recall, detention or seizure of our products; |
|
|
|
operating restrictions or partial suspension or total shutdown of production; |
|
|
|
refusing or delaying our requests for 510(k) clearance or premarket approval of new products or modified products; |
|
|
|
operating restrictions; |
|
|
|
withdrawing 510(k) clearances or IDE/PMA approvals that have already been granted; |
|
|
|
suspension or withdrawal of our CE Certificates of Conformity; |
|
|
|
refusal to grant export approval or issue export documentation for our products; or |
We underwent an FDA inspection, which employed Quality System
Inspection Technique, or QSIT, in July 2010 and received two inspectional observations. The agency has accepted our responses and the inspection has been closed.
We are subject to the licensing requirements of the California Department of Health Services, or CDHS. We have been inspected and licensed by
the CDHS and remain subject to re-inspection at any time. Failure to maintain a license from the CDHS or to meet the inspection criteria of the CDHS would disrupt our manufacturing processes. If an inspection by the CDHS indicates that there are
deficiencies in our manufacturing process, we could be required to take remedial actions at potentially significant expense, and our facility may be temporarily or permanently closed.
If our products cause or contribute to a death or a serious injury, or malfunction in certain ways, we will be subject to medical device
reporting regulations, which can result in voluntary corrective actions or agency enforcement actions. An increased frequency of filing Medical Device Reports, or MDRs, or Manufacturers Incident Reports in the EEA concerning adverse events
occurring during procedures performed with our technology could result in increased regulatory scrutiny of our products and could delay or prevent the adoption of our products.
Under the FDAs medical device reporting regulations, medical device manufacturers are required to report to the FDA when the manufacturer
becomes aware of information from any source that alleges that a device marketed by the manufacturer has or may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or has malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to death or
serious injury if the malfunction of the device or one of our similar devices were to recur. A manufacturer may determine that an event may not meet the FDAs reporting criteria so that an MDR is not necessary. However, the FDA can review a
manufacturers decision and may disagree. We have made decisions that certain types of events are not MDR reportable. In the EEA, similar reporting requirements are imposed on medical device manufacturers. When a medical device is suspected to
be a contributory cause of an event that led or might have led to death of or the serious deterioration of the health of a patient, or user or of other person, its manufacturer or authorized representative in the EU must report the event to the
competent authority of the EEA country where the incident occurred. There can be no assurance that the FDA or the competent authorities in the EEA country will agree with our decisions. If we fail to report MDRs to the FDA within the required
timeframes, or at all, or if the FDA or the competent authorities of the EEA countries disagree with any of our determinations that events are not reportable, the FDA or the competent authorities of the EEA countries could take enforcement action
against us. Any such adverse event involving our products also could result in future voluntary corrective actions, such as products withdrawals and recalls or customer notifications, or agency action, such as inspection or enforcement action. Any
corrective action, whether voluntary or involuntary, as well as defending ourselves in a lawsuit, will require the dedication of our time and capital, distract management from operating our business, and may harm our reputation and financial
results.
47
We have filed MDRs and Manufacturers Incident Reports reporting adverse events during
procedures utilizing our technology and have developed internal systems and processes that are designed to evaluate future events that may require adverse event reporting to the FDA or the competent authorities in the EEA countries. As the frequency
of use of our technology in electrophysiology and vascular procedures increases, we are experiencing, and anticipate continuing to experience, it being necessary to file an increased number of MDRs and Manufacturers Incident Reports resulting
from the increased frequency of use of our technology. An increased frequency of filing MDRs and Manufacturers Incident Reports or a failure to timely file MDRs may result in requests for further information from the FDA or the competent
authorities of the EEA countries, which could delay other matters that we may have pending before the FDA, the competent authorities of the EEA or our Notified Body or result in additional regulatory action. An increased frequency of MDRs and
Manufacturers Incident Reports could also reduce confidence in the safety of our products and delay or prevent the acceptance of our products by physicians and hospitals, which would harm our business and cause our stock price to decline.
Our products may in the future be subject to product recalls that could harm our reputation, business and financial results. As a
manufacturer we are sometimes required to make decisions about whether to take corrective action in the field and whether to report that activity to the FDA or the competent authorities of the EEA countries. If the FDA or the competent authorities
of the EEA countries disagrees with those decisions, we may be subject to enforcement action and our product sales and operating results could suffer.
The FDA and similar foreign competent authorities have the authority to require the recall of commercialized products in the event of material
deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture. In the case of the FDA, the authority to require a recall must be based on an FDA finding that there is a reasonable probability that the device would cause serious injury or death. In addition,
foreign competent authorities have the authority to require the recall of our products in the event of material deficiencies or defects in design, manufacture or performance of the products and inadequacy in the labeling or Instruction for Use. A
government-mandated or voluntary recall by us or one of our distributors could occur as a result of component failures, manufacturing errors, design or labeling defects or other deficiencies and issues. We have conducted voluntary recalls in the
past. Recalls of any of our products would likely divert managerial and financial resources and could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The FDA requires that certain classifications of recalls be reported to the FDA within 10 working days after the recall is initiated.
Companies are required to maintain certain records of recalls, even if they are not reportable to the FDA or other competent authorities. We have in the past initiated voluntary actions involving our products that we determined did not require
notification of the FDA, and we may in the future initiate additional voluntary actions that we determine do not require notification of the FDA. If the FDA or the competent authorities of the EEA countries disagree with our determinations, they
could require us to report those actions as recalls. Additionally, we have, and may again in the future, take actions in the field that we do not consider to be recalls. If the FDA or other competent authorities disagree with our determinations,
they could require us to treat these actions as recalls, issue communications, or report those actions to FDA. The agency may also initiate other enforcement action if they disagree with our recall decisions, including but not limited to issuing
warning letters, or more serious actions such as civil or criminal penalties. A future recall announcement or enforcement action could harm our reputation with customers and negatively affect our sales. In addition, the FDA or other competent
authorities could take enforcement action for failing to treat certain actions as recalls and report the recalls when they were conducted.
Modifications to our products may, and in some instances, will, require new regulatory clearances, approvals or CE Certificates of
Conformity and may require us to recall or cease marketing our products until clearances, approvals or CE Certificates of Conformity are obtained.
Modifications to our products may require new regulatory approvals or clearances, including 510(k) clearances or PMAs, and may require us to
recall or cease marketing the modified devices until these clearances or approvals are obtained. The FDA requires device manufacturers to initially make and document a determination of whether or not modifications require a new approval, supplement
or clearance. A manufacturer of a 510(k) cleared product is required to obtain 510(k) clearance for device modifications that could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the device, or constitute a major change in the intended use of
the subject device. Accordingly, a manufacturer may determine that a modification could not significantly affect safety or efficacy and does not represent a major change in its intended use so that no new 510(k) clearance is necessary. However, the
FDA can review a manufacturers decision and may disagree. The FDA may also on its own initiative determine that a new clearance or approval is required.
For those products sold in the EEA, we must notify and await completion of the review of our notified body, before introducing substantial
changes to the products or to our quality system. Following its review, our notified body will decide whether our existing CE Certificates of Conformity can be maintained or varied, or whether new certificate are required.
We have made modifications to our products in the past and may make additional modifications in the future that we believe do not or will not
require additional review, clearances or approvals. There can be no assurance that the FDA, our Notified Body or the competent authorities of the EEA countries will agree with our approach in such matters or that, if required, subsequent requests
for 510(k) clearance, PMA approval or CE Certificates of Conformity will be received in a timely fashion, if at all. The FDA, our Notified Body or the competent authorities of the EEA countries may require us to cease supply, recall and to stop
marketing our products as modified or to disable features pending clearance or approval or the granting of a CE Certificate of Conformity which
48
would significantly harm our ability to sell our products and cause harm to our existing customer relationships and business. Even if we are not required to take such action, delays in obtaining
clearances, approvals or CE Certificate of Conformity for features would adversely affect our ability to introduce enhanced products in a timely manner and would harm our revenue and operating results. The FDA our Notified Body or the competent
authorities of the EEA countries could also take other enforcement action, including but not limited to, issuing a warning letter relating to our decision to implement features and other product modifications without submission of a new 510(k)
notice or PMA and suspension or withdrawal of our existing CE Certificates of Conformity.
Clinical trials necessary to support any
future 510(k), PMA application or CE marking of our products will be expensive and may require the enrollment of large numbers of clinical sites and patients, and suitable patients may be difficult to identify and recruit. Delays or failures in our
clinical trials may prevent us from commercializing any modified or new products and will adversely affect our business, operating results and prospects.
Initiating and completing clinical trials necessary to support a 510(k), PMA application or CE marking for expanded indications for use of our
existing products, will be time consuming and expensive and the outcome uncertain. Moreover, the results of early clinical trials are not necessarily predictive of future results, and any product we advance into clinical trials may not have
favorable results in later clinical trials.
Conducting successful clinical studies may require the enrollment of large numbers of
clinical sites and patients, and suitable patients may be difficult to identify and recruit. Patient enrollment in clinical trials and completion of patient participation and follow-up depends on many factors, including the size of the patient
population, the nature of the trial protocol, the attractiveness of, or the discomforts and risks associated with, the treatments received by enrolled subjects, the availability of appropriate clinical trial investigators, support staff, and
proximity of patients to clinical sites and ability to comply with the eligibility and exclusion criteria for participation in the clinical trial and patient compliance. For example, patients may be discouraged from enrolling in our clinical trials
if the trial protocol requires them to undergo extensive post-treatment procedures or follow-up to assess the safety and effectiveness of our products or if they determine that the treatments received under the trial protocols are not attractive or
involve unacceptable risks or discomforts. Patients may also not participate in our clinical trials if they choose to participate in contemporaneous clinical trials of competitive products or they can obtain the treatment without participating in
our trial through physicians who use the product off-label. We received IDE approval for an approximately 300 patient study for the treatment of atrial fibrillation and enrolled our first patient in May 2010 and approximately 50 patients were
enrolled as of January 2013. A proposed modification to the study protocol was submitted to FDA for review in January 2013. The modified study, which plans to enroll as few as 125 subjects, was approved by the FDA in August 2013 and approximately
one-half of the targeted number of additional subjects have been enrolled to date. The study includes a seven-day follow-up for safety and a one-year follow-up for efficacy at intervals of 90, 180, and 365 days.
Development of sufficient and appropriate clinical protocols to demonstrate quality, safety and efficacy may be required and we may not
adequately develop such protocols to support clearance or approval. Delays in patient enrollment or failure of patients to consent or continue to participate in a clinical trial may cause an increase in costs and delays in the approval and attempted
commercialization of our products or result in the failure of the clinical trial. In addition, despite considerable time and expense invested in our clinical trials, FDA, our Notified Body or the competent authorities of the EEA countries may not
consider our data adequate to demonstrate quality, safety and efficacy. Such increased costs and delays or failures could adversely affect our business, operating results and prospects.
If we fail to comply with healthcare laws and regulations, we could face substantial penalties and our business, operations and
financial condition could be adversely affected.
Our activities, and the activities of our agents, including some contracted third
parties, are subject to extensive government regulation and oversight both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. Our interactions in the U.S. or abroad with physicians and other potential referral sources who prescribe or purchase our products
are subject to government regulation designed to prevent health care fraud and abuse. Relevant U.S. laws include:
|
|
|
the federal healthcare program Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, paying or receiving remuneration, directly or indirectly, in cash or
in kind, to induce or reward either the referral of an individual, for an item or service or the purchasing, leasing, ordering or arranging for or recommending the purchase, lease or order of any item or service, for which payment may be made, in
whole or in part, by federal healthcare programs such as the Medicare and Medicaid; |
|
|
|
federal civil False Claims Act which prohibits, among other things, individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment of government funds that are false or fraudulent, and
which may apply to entities like us which provide coding and billing advice to customers or whose products are frequently used off-label; |
|
|
|
the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, which prohibits, among other things, executing a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program or making false statements relating to
healthcare matters and which also imposes certain obligations relating to safeguarding the privacy, security and transmission of individually identifiable health information; |
|
|
|
the federal Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1997, which makes it illegal to offer or provide money or anything of value to officials of foreign governments, foreign political parties, or international organizations
with the intent to obtain or retain business or seek a business advantage; and |
49
|
|
|
state law equivalents of each of the above federal laws, such as anti-kickback and false claims laws which may apply to items or services reimbursed by any third-party payor, including commercial insurers, state breach
notification laws, and state laws governing the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other in significant ways and often are not preempted by HIPAA, thus complicating compliance efforts.
In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians. Some states, such as California, Massachusetts and Nevada, mandate implementation of commercial compliance programs and/or impose
restrictions on device manufacturer marketing practices and tracking and reporting of gifts, compensation and other remuneration to physicians. |
The FDA, the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Justice, states Attorneys
General and other governmental authorities actively enforce the laws and regulations discussed above. In the U.S., pharmaceutical and device manufacturers have been the target of numerous government prosecutions and investigations alleging
violations of law, including claims asserting impermissible off-label promotion of pharmaceutical and medical device products, payments intended to influence the referral of federal or state health care business, and submission of false or
fraudulent claims for government payments. The Affordable Care Act also clarified that a person or entity need not have actual knowledge of the Anti-Kickback Statute or specific intent in order to violate it. In addition, the Affordable Care Act
provides that the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the federal False Claims Act or federal civil
money penalties statute. Although compliance programs can mitigate the risk of investigation and prosecution for violations of these laws, the risks cannot be entirely eliminated. We cannot rule out the possibility that the government or other third
parties could interpret these laws differently and challenge our practices under one or more of these laws.
The Affordable Care Act also
imposes new tracking and disclosure requirements on device manufacturers for any transfer of value made or distributed to physicians and teaching hospitals. Device manufacturers with products for which payment is available under
Medicare, Medicaid or the State Childrens Health Insurance Program were required to begin tracking such payments on August 1, 2013 and submit reports to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, by March 31, 2014, and by
the 90th day of each subsequent calendar year.
If our past or present operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws
described above or any other governmental regulations that apply to us, we may be subject to penalties, including civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion of our products from reimbursement under federal healthcare programs like
Medicare and Medicaid and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations. Any penalties, damages, fines, curtailment or restructuring of our operations could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results. The
risk of our being found in violation of these laws or regulations is increased by the fact that many of them have not been fully interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, and their provisions are open to a variety of interpretations.
Any action against us for violation of these laws or regulations, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our managements attention from the operation of our business. Moreover,
to achieve compliance with applicable federal and state privacy, security, and electronic transaction laws, we may be required to modify our operations with respect to the handling of patient information. Implementing these modifications may prove
costly. At this time, we are not able to determine the full consequences to us, including the total cost of compliance, of these various laws and regulations.
Our international operations expose us to liability under global anticorruption laws.
We are also subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws in non-U.S.
jurisdictions, such as the U.K. Bribery Act 2010, which generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to government officials and/or other persons for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Because of
the predominance of government-sponsored healthcare systems around the world, many of our customer relationships outside of the United States involve governmental entities and are therefore subject to such anti-bribery laws. Our policies mandate
compliance with these anti-bribery laws. Despite our training and compliance programs, our internal control policies and procedures may not protect us from negligent, reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees or agents. Moreover, even a
perceived or alleged violation could result in costly investigations or proceedings that could harm our financial position and reputation.
The application of state certificate of need regulations and compliance by providers with federal and state licensing requirements, as
well as accreditation requirements, could substantially limit our ability to sell our products and grow our business.
Some states
require healthcare providers to obtain a certificate of need or similar regulatory approval prior to the acquisition of high-cost capital items such as our Sensei and Magellan systems. In many cases, a limited number of these certificates are
available and, as a result, hospitals and other healthcare providers may be unable to obtain a certificate of need for the purchase of our Sensei and Magellan systems. Further, our sales cycle for our system is typically longer in certificate of
need states due to the time it takes our customers to obtain the required approvals. In addition, our customers must meet various federal and state regulatory and/or accreditation requirements in order to receive reimbursement from
government-sponsored healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid and other third-party payors. Any lapse by our customers in maintaining appropriate licensure, certification or accreditation, or the failure of our customers to satisfy the
other necessary requirements under government-sponsored healthcare programs, could cause our sales to decline.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
The trading price of our common stock has been volatile and is likely to be volatile in the future.
The trading price of our common stock has been highly volatile. Further, our common stock has a limited trading history. Since our initial
public offering in November 2006 through October 31, 2014, our closing stock price has fluctuated from a low of $0.91 to a high of $38.87. The market price for our common stock may be affected by a number of factors, including those set forth
in this Item 1A as well as:
|
|
|
the announcement of our operating results, including the number of systems sold during a period and our revenue for the period, and the comparison of these results to the expectations of analysts and investors;
|
|
|
|
the receipt, denial or timing of regulatory clearances, approvals or actions of our products or competing products; |
|
|
|
sales of common stock or other debt or equity securities by us or our stockholders in the future; |
|
|
|
the success of any collaborations we may undertake with other companies; |
|
|
|
our ability to develop, introduce and market new or enhanced versions of our products on a timely basis; |
|
|
|
additions or departures of key scientific or management personnel; |
|
|
|
the pace of enrollment or results of our clinical trial of at least 125 patients or any other clinical trials; |
|
|
|
changes in policies affecting third-party coverage and reimbursement in the United States and other countries; |
|
|
|
ability of our products to achieve market success; |
|
|
|
the performance of third-party contract manufacturers and component suppliers; |
|
|
|
our ability to develop sales and marketing capabilities; |
|
|
|
our ability to manufacture our products to meet commercial and regulatory standards; |
|
|
|
our ability to manage costs and improve margins; |
|
|
|
variations in our results of operations or those of our competitors; |
|
|
|
announcements of new products, technological innovations or product advancements by us or our competitors; |
|
|
|
announcements of acquisitions or dispositions by us or our competitors; |
|
|
|
developments with respect to patents and other intellectual property rights; |
|
|
|
disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for our technologies; |
|
|
|
trading volume of our common stock; |
|
|
|
our announcements of guidance regarding future operating or financial results which fails to meet investor or analyst expectations or which differs from our previously-announced guidance; |
|
|
|
changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts, failure to obtain analyst coverage of our common stock or our failure to achieve analyst earnings estimates; |
|
|
|
public statements by analysts or clinicians regarding their perceptions of the effectiveness of our products; |
|
|
|
developments in our industry; |
|
|
|
general market conditions and other factors unrelated to our operating performance or the operating performance of our competitors; and |
|
|
|
the impact of shareholder lawsuits and governmental investigations both on us and on our public perception. |
The stock prices of many companies in the medical device industry have experienced wide fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the
operating performance of these companies. Following periods of volatility in the market price of a companys securities, stockholders have often instituted class action securities litigation against those companies. Additional class action
securities litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management resources, which could significantly harm our business.
Securities analysts may not continue, or additional securities analysts may not initiate, coverage for our common stock or may issue
negative reports, and this may have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock.
Currently, several securities
analysts provide research coverage of our common stock. Several analysts have already published statements that do not portray our technology, products or procedures using our products in a positive light and others may do so in the future. If we
are unable to educate those who publicize such reports about the benefits we believe our technology provides, or if one or more of the analysts who elects to cover us downgrades our stock, our stock price would likely decline rapidly.
51
If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline. The trading market for our common
stock may be affected in part by the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us or our business. If sufficient securities analysts do not cover our common stock, the lack of research coverage may adversely affect the
market price of our common stock. It may be difficult for companies such as ours, with smaller market capitalizations, to attract and maintain sufficient independent financial analysts that will cover our common stock. This could have a negative
effect on the market price of our stock.
Our principal stockholders, directors and management own a large percentage of our voting
stock, which allows them to exercise significant influence over matters subject to stockholder approval.
Based on our review of
publicly available filings as of October 31, 2014, our five largest stockholders together with our executive officers and directors beneficially own or control approximately 49.0 percent of our outstanding common stock and the ownership or
control by these stockholders may increase to 51.4 percent of our outstanding common stock upon the exercise of outstanding warrants exercisable for shares of our common stock held by these individuals or entities. Accordingly, our principal
stockholders and our executive officers and directors have substantial influence over the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all
of our assets or any other significant corporate transaction. These stockholders may also delay or prevent a change of control or otherwise discourage a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, even if such a change of control
would benefit our other stockholders. This significant concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock due to investors perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise.
We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future, and any return on investment may be limited to
the value of our common stock.
We have never paid dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying dividends on our
common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on our earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our Board of Directors may consider relevant.
If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates. In addition, pursuant to our loan agreement, we must obtain the lenders prior written consent
in order to pay any dividends on our common stock.
Some provisions of our charter documents and Delaware law may have anti-takeover
effects that could discourage an acquisition of us by others, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders.
Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law,
could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders. These provisions:
|
|
|
permit our Board of Directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with any rights, preferences and privileges as they may designate, including the right to approve an acquisition or other change in our
control; |
|
|
|
provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the Board of Directors; |
|
|
|
provide that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum;
|
|
|
|
divide our Board of Directors into three classes; |
|
|
|
require that any action to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and not be taken by written consent; |
|
|
|
provide that stockholders seeking to present proposals before a meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders must provide notice in writing in a timely manner,
and also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders notice; |
|
|
|
do not provide for cumulative voting rights, therefore allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors standing for election,
if they should so choose; |
|
|
|
provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairman of the Board, our chief executive officer or by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total
number of authorized directors; and |
|
|
|
provide that stockholders will be permitted to amend our amended and restated bylaws only upon receiving at least 66 2/3 percent of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of all outstanding shares then entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. |
In addition, we are subject to
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any broad range of business combinations with any stockholder who owns, or at any time in the last three years owned, 15
percent or more of our outstanding voting stock for a period of three years following the date on which the stockholder became an interested stockholder. This provision could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, whether or
not it is desired by or beneficial to our stockholders.
52
Future sales or issuances of shares of our common stock, the announcement to undertake such
sales or issuances, or the perception that such sales or issuances may occur, may dilute our existing stockholders and depress the market price of our common stock.
Sales of our common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for our common stock by us or by our stockholders, announcements of the
proposed sales of our common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for our common stock or the perception that sales may be made, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We may issue additional shares of our common
stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for our common stock in follow-on offerings to raise additional capital or in connection with acquisitions, corporate alliances or settlements with third parties and we plan to issue additional
shares to our employees, directors or consultants in connection with their services to us. For example, in August 2013 we sold 28,455,284 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 34,146,339 shares of our common stock in a
private placement and in July 2014 we issued additional warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,286,023 shares of our common stock in a subsequent private placement. The issuance of the shares of common stock resulted in immediate dilution to our
stockholders and the on-going exercises of outstanding warrants has caused, and may continue to cause, further dilution to our stockholders in the future.
Our financial results may vary significantly from period to period, which may reduce our stock price.
Our financial results may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, which may cause the market
price of our common stock to fall. For these reasons, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on our past results as an indication of our future performance. Our financial results
may be negatively affected by any of the risk factors listed in this Risk Factors section.
We incur significant costs
as a result of operating as a public company, and our management is required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.
As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules
subsequently implemented by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the Nasdaq Global Market, have imposed various new requirements on public companies, including requiring establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and
financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations increase our legal and financial compliance costs
and make some activities more time-consuming and costly.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF
PROCEEDS
Other than as previously reported in our Current Reports on Form 8-K, or prior periodic reports, we did not sell any
unregistered securities during the three month period ended September
30, 2014, or subsequent period through the date hereof.

EXECUTION VERSION
EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
This
Exchange Agreement (this Agreement) is dated as of July 30, 2014, between Hansen Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), and each warrantholder identified on Exhibit A hereto (each,

GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; (C) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with managements general or specific authorization; and (D) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets
at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Companys internal control over financial reporting is effective and none of the Company, the Board of
Directors and audit committee is aware of any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses (each as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) in its internal control over financial reporting, or any fraud,
whether or not material, that involves management or other employees of the Company who have a significant role in the Companys internal controls; and since the end of the latest audited fiscal year, there has been no change in the
Companys internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) that has materially affected, or is reasonably
10
likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting. The Board of Directors has, subject to the exceptions, cure periods and the phase in periods specified
in the applicable stock exchange rules (Exchange Rules), validly appointed an audit committee to oversee internal accounting controls whose composition satisfies the applicable requirements of the Exchange Rules and the Board of
Directors and/or the audit committee has adopted a charter that satisfies the requirements of the Exchange Rules. The Board of Directors has validly appointed an audit committee whose composition satisfies the applicable requirements of Rule
5605(c)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Standards (the Nasdaq Rules) and the Board of Directors and/or the audit committee has adopted a charter that satisfies the requirements of Rule 5605(c)(1) of the Nasdaq Rules. Neither the Board of
Directors nor the audit committee has been informed, nor is any director of the Company aware, of (A) any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the Companys internal controls which could adversely affect the
Companys ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data or any material weakness in the Companys internal controls; or (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees of the
Company who have a significant role in the Companys internal controls. No relationship, direct or indirect, exists between or among the Company, on the one hand, and the directors, officers, stockholders, customers or suppliers of the Company,
on the other hand, except as described in the SEC Reports which is required to be described in the SEC Reports. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, extended or maintained credit, or arranged for the extension of credit, or renewed an
extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan to or for any of its directors or executive officers in violation of applicable laws, including Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Company has established and maintains disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Exchange Act) and such controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information relating to the Company is made known to the principal executive officer and
the principal financial officer. The Company has utilized such controls and procedures in preparing and evaluating the disclosures in the SEC Reports.

its opinion with respect to the Companys financial statements as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and included in the SEC Reports (including the related notes), is independent with respect to the Company within the
meaning of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission and has been independent within such meaning at all times since its engagement by the Company. The Company has made such disclosure of non-audit services performed by the Auditors
in its proxy statements with respect to its annual meetings of its stockholders as is required under the Exchange Act, Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and all such non-audit services have been
approved in advance by the audit committee of the Board of Directors. To the knowledge of the Company, the Auditor is a registered public accounting firm as required by the Securities Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the corresponding
rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
3.12 Compliance with Nasdaq Continued Listing Requirements. The
Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not, upon the issuance of the Securities hereunder, continue to be, in compliance with the listing and maintenance requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq. Assuming the representations and
warranties of the Warrantholders set forth in Section 4.2 are true and correct in all material respects, the consummation of the transactions
11
contemplated by the Transaction Documents does not contravene the rules and regulations of Nasdaq. There are no proceedings pending or, to the Companys knowledge, threatened against the
Company relating to the continued listing of the Common Stock on Nasdaq and the Company has not received any notice of, nor to the Companys knowledge is there any basis for, the delisting of the Common Stock from Nasdaq.
3.13 Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to
render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Companys
certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that would prevent the Warrantholders or the Company from fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents,
including without limitation as a result of the Companys issuance of the Securities and the Warrantholders ownership of the Securities and exercise in full of the Warrants.
3.14 Certain Fees. No brokerage or finders fees or commissions are or will be payable by the Company or any Subsidiary to any
broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Warrantholders shall have no obligation with respect to any
fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

general solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D) in connection with the offer of any of the Securities.
3.16 No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly
or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any Company security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by the Company on Section 4(2) for the exemption from registration for the
transactions contemplated hereby or would require registration of the Securities under the Securities Act.
3.17 Private Placement.
Assuming the accuracy of the Warrantholders representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE IV, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and exchange of the Securities by the Company to the Warrantholders
as contemplated hereby.

Company to facilitate the offering or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting the exchange by the Warrantholders of the Series B Warrants and Series C Warrants for any of the
Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company.
3.22 Disclosure. No representation or warranty by the Company in this Agreement and no statement contained in the SEC Reports or any
certificate or other document furnished or to be furnished to the Warrantholders pursuant to this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
ARTICLE IV.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE WARRANTHOLDERS
Each Warrantholder, for itself and for no other Warrantholder, hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date
to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein):
4.1 Organization; Authority. Such Warrantholder is either an
individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and
authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such
Warrantholder of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Warrantholder. Each
Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Warrantholder, and when delivered by such Warrantholder in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Warrantholder,
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of
creditors rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited
by applicable law.
13
4.2 Warrantholder Status. At the time such Warrantholder was offered the Securities, it
was, and as of the date hereof it is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act. Such Warrantholder is not a broker-dealer registered under Section 15 of the Exchange Act. Each Warrantholder is acting
alone in its determination as to whether to invest in the Securities. Each such Warrantholder is not party to any voting agreements or similar arrangements with respect to the Securities, except the Investor Rights Agreement (and as of the Closing
Date, the Amended and Restated IRA). Each such Warrantholder is not a member of a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate, or other group for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Securities, provided, that
(i) Jack W. Schuler and the Schuler Family Foundation may be viewed as a group and (ii) Oracle Partners, LP, Oracle Ten Fund Master, LP, Oracle Institutional Partners, LP and Larry Feinberg may be viewed as a group.
4.3 General Solicitation. Such Warrantholder is not acquiring the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other
communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
4.4 Received Entirely for Own Account. The Securities to be received by such Warrantholder hereunder will be acquired for such
Warrantholders own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act, and such Warrantholder has no present intention of selling, granting any
participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act without prejudice, however, to such Warrantholders right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with
applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by such Warrantholder to hold the Securities for any period of time.
4.5 Experience of Such Warrantholder. Such Warrantholder, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge,
sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Warrantholder
is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
4.6 Disclosure of Information. Such Warrantholder has had an opportunity to receive all information related to the Company requested by
it and to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding the Company, its business and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities. Such Warrantholder acknowledges receipt of copies of the SEC Reports. Neither such
inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by such Warrantholder shall modify, limit or otherwise affect such Warrantholders right to rely on the Companys representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.
4.7 Restricted Securities. Such Warrantholder understands that the Securities are restricted securities and have not
been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred except (i) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement in
compliance with Section 5 under the Securities Act and (ii) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions.
14
4.8 Commissions. No Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company, any Subsidiary or a Warrantholder for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on
behalf of such Warrantholder.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in ARTICLE IV shall not modify, amend or
affect such Warrantholders right to rely on the Companys representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument
executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.
ARTICLE V.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
5.1 Transfer Restrictions.
(a) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any
transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Warrantholder or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in
Section 5.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act.
(b) The Warrantholders agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 5.1, of a legend on any of
the Securities in the following form:
THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES
COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE SECURITIES ACT), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY MAY BE
PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT.
(c) Certificates evidencing the Warrant Shares shall not contain
any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 5.1(b) hereof), (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective
15
under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement
for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Warrant Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of
the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the
Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Warrant Shares, or if such Warrant Shares may be
sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144, or if the Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current
public information required under Rule 144 as to such Warrant Shares or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the
Commission) then such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 5.1(c), it will, no later than three
Trading Days following the delivery by a Warrantholder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the Legend Removal
Date), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Warrantholder a certificate representing such Warrant Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to
the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 5.1. Certificates for Warrant Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Warrantholder by crediting
the account of the Warrantholders prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Warrantholder.
5.2
Furnishing of Information; Public Information. Until the earliest of the time that (i) no Warrantholder owns Securities or (ii) the Exchange Warrants have expired, the Company covenants to maintain the registration of the Common
Stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the
Exchange Act.
5.3 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in
respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the offer of the Securities or that
would be integrated with the offer of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of Nasdaq such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before
the closing of such subsequent transaction. The Warrantholders shall take no action to become a group such that any transactions contemplated by this Agreement would require shareholder approval prior to Closing.
16
5.4 Securities Laws Disclosure. The Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K,
including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto, with the Commission within the time required by the Exchange Act. The Company shall consult with the Principal Warrantholders in issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby, and the Company shall not issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Principal Warrantholders (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed) or, with
respect to the public disclosure of the identity of any Warrantholder, the prior consent of such Warrantholder, except if such disclosure is required by law or the rules of the Trading Market upon which the Company securities are then traded.
5.5 Shareholder Rights Plan. Solely to the extent that it would impair the ability of any Warrantholder to receive Securities under the
Transaction Documents, no claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Warrantholder is an Acquiring Person under any control share acquisition, business combination,
poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Warrantholder could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or
arrangement.
5.6 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Series B/C Exchange
Warrants and the net proceeds from the exercise of the Series D Warrants, if any, for funding operations or for working capital or other general corporate purposes.
5.7 Indemnification of Warrantholders. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.7, the Company will indemnify and hold
each Warrantholder and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other
title), each Person who controls such Warrantholder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any
other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a Warrantholder Party) harmless from any and all losses,
liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys fees and costs of investigation that any such Warrantholder Party may
suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted
against the Warrantholder Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Warrantholder Parties, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Warrantholder Partys representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Warrantholder Parties may have with
any such stockholder or any violations by such Warrantholder Parties of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Warrantholder Parties which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance of such Warrantholder
Party). If any action shall be brought against any Warrantholder Party in respect
17
of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Warrantholder Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense
thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Warrantholder Party. Any Warrantholder Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Warrantholder Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of
time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Warrantholder
Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Warrantholder Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a
Warrantholder Party effected without the Companys prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any
Warrantholder Partys breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Warrantholder Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this
Section 5.7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any
cause of action or similar right of any Warrantholder Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
5.8 Reservation of Common Stock. The Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times,
free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.
5.9 Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the
Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Common Stock traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Warrant Shares,
and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible. The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing or
quotation and trading of its Common Stock on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Companys reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market. The Warrantholders and the Company agree
to cooperate in good faith, if necessary, to restructure the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents such that they do not contravene the rules and regulations of Nasdaq; provided, however, that such restructuring does
not impact the economic interests of the Warrantholders contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Warrantholder agrees to provide information reasonably requested by the Company to comply with this Section 5.9 and
Section 3.13.
5.10 Equal Treatment of Warrantholders. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction
Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same
18
consideration is also offered to all of the parties to this Agreement. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Warrantholder by the Company and
negotiated separately by each Warrantholder, and is intended for the Company to treat the Warrantholders as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Warrantholders acting in concert or as a group with respect to the offering, disposition
or voting of Securities or otherwise.
5.11 Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to
the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Warrantholder. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for,
or to qualify the Securities for, offer to the Warrantholders at the Closing under applicable securities or Blue Sky laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any
Warrantholder. Each Warrantholder shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company to comply with Section 5.11.
5.12 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Warrant
Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any
Warrantholder and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.
5.13 Waiver of Notice Requirements and Acknowledgement. Each Warrantholder waives any notice requirements under the Series B Warrants,
the Series C Warrants and the Investor Rights Agreement with respect to the Transaction and acknowledges that he, she or it has received and reviewed the Regulation D, Rule 506 Disclosure included in the notice sent by the Company to Warrantholders
on July 23, 2014.
5.14 Other Actions. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, from the date of this Agreement until
the earlier to occur of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company and the Warrantholders shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, take, or agree or commit to take,
any action that would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay or materially impede the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
ARTICLE VI.
TERMINATION
6.1 Termination. The obligations of the Company, on the one hand, and the Warrantholders, on the other hand, to effect the
Closing shall terminate as follows:
(a) Upon the mutual written consent of the Company and the Warrantholders;
(b) By the Company if any of the conditions set forth in Section 2.4(a) shall have become incapable of fulfillment, and shall not
have been waived by the Company;
19
(c) By a Warrantholder (with respect to itself only) if any of the conditions set forth in
Section 2.4(b) shall have become incapable of fulfillment, and shall not have been waived by such Warrantholder; or
(d) By
either the Company or any Warrantholder (with respect to itself only) if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to September 15, 2014; provided, however, that the Principal Warrantholders may, in their sole discretion, extend
such date to January 15, 2015 in the event shareholder approval is required;
provided, however, that, except in the case of clause
(a) above, the party seeking to terminate its obligation to effect the Closing shall not then be in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents if such
breach has resulted in the circumstances giving rise to such partys seeking to terminate its obligation to effect the Closing.
6.2
Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination. In the event of termination by the Company or any Warrantholder of its obligations to effect the Closing pursuant to this ARTICLE VI, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the
other Warrantholders by the Company and the other Warrantholders shall have the right to terminate their obligations to effect the Closing upon written notice to the Company and the other Warrantholders. Nothing in this ARTICLE VI shall be
deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its
obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
ARTICLE VII.

waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a
waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
7.5 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit

7.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit

unreasonably withheld, any Warrantholder may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Warrantholder assigns or transfers any Securities, provided, that a Warrantholder may assign any or all rights under
this Agreement to an Affiliate of such Warrantholder without the consent of the Company, provided, further that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the
Transaction Documents that apply to the Warrantholders.
7.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 5.7.

each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding
and to the laying of venue in such court. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
7.9 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY
ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND
EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
7.10 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive
the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
7.11 Execution. 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 each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same
counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a .pdf format data 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.
7.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall
use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be
the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
22
7.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Warrantholder exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related
obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Warrantholder may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without
prejudice to its future actions and rights.
7.14 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or
granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Warrantholders and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
7.15 Independent Nature of Warrantholders Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Warrantholder under any Transaction
Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Warrantholder, and no Warrantholder shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Warrantholder under any Transaction
Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Warrantholder pursuant hereof or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Warrantholders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any
other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Warrantholders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Warrantholder shall be entitled
to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Warrantholder to be joined as an
additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Warrantholder has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Warrantholders with the
same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Warrantholders.

SERIES B/C EXCHANGE WARRANT
|
|
|
Warrant No. B/C Exchange-[] |
|
Date of Issuance: August 11, 2014 |
Hansen Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), hereby certifies that, for
value received, [], a [], or its registered assign (the Holder), shall purchase from the Company [] shares (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 12 [but subject to Section 6(b)]1) of common stock, par value $0.0001
per share, of the Company (the Common Stock) (each such share, a Warrant Share and all such shares, the Warrant Shares), at an exercise price determined pursuant to Section 3 (the
Exercise Price), at any time from and after the date hereof through and including the date that is fourteen days following the date of issuance set forth above (the Expiration Date), and subject to the following
terms and conditions:
1. Exchange Agreement. This Series B/C Exchange Warrant (this Warrant) is one of a series
of Warrants (collectively, the Warrants) issued by the Company in connection with that certain Exchange Agreement, entered into on July 30, 2014 (the Exchange Agreement), by and among the Company and Holder
and certain other Warrantholders, and is subject to, and the Company and the Holder shall be bound by, all the applicable terms, conditions and provisions of the Exchange Agreement.
2. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Exchange Agreement.
3. Exercise Price. This Warrant shall be exercised for a
price per Warrant Share equal to $1.13, subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to Section 12 (the Exercise Price).2
1 |
To be included for affiliated entities of each of Messrs. Feinberg and Schuler. |
2 |
Exercise price to be the closing bid price on Nasdaq on the trading day a binding agreement is entered into or on the immediately preceding trading day if entered into prior to 4 p.m. Eastern Time. |
4. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be
maintained by the Company for that purpose (the Warrant Register), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose
of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
5.
Transfer of Warrant.
(a) No Holder may, directly or indirectly, sell, exchange, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of
this Warrant without the prior written consent of the Company.
6. Exercise and Duration of Warrants.
(a) [Subject to Section 6(b),]3 the registered Holder shall exercise this
Warrant in full prior to the Expiration Date by paying the price per Warrant Share equal to the Exercise Price. Payment of the Exercise Price multiplied the applicable number of Warrant Shares the Holder intends to purchase hereunder must be
received by the Company within three calendar days of the date of the Exercise Notice. The Holders obligation to exercise this Warrant prior to the Expiration Date shall survive the Expiration Date.
(b) [Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder
shall not exercise that portion of this Warrant, if any, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable notice of exercise, the Holder (together with the Holders affiliates, and any other
persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holders affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding Common Stock; provided, however, the Holder shall still be required to exercise,
to the maximum extent permissible, that portion of the Warrant that does not result in a breach of the foregoing limitation. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon
(i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company
(including, without limitation, any other securities of the Company or its subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation the Series D Warrants) subject to a
limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6(b), beneficial
ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, for purposes of this
Section 6(b), group has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6(b)
applies, the determination of which portion of this Warrant (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) shall be exercised shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a notice of
exercise shall be deemed to be the Holders determination of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates). For purposes of this Section 6(b), in
determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (i) the Companys most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other
public
3 |
Section 6(b) to be included for affiliated entities of each of Messrs. Feinberg and Schuler. |
-2-
filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (iii) a more recent notice by the Company or the Companys transfer agent
to the Holder setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Upon the request of the Holder, the Company shall promptly, and in any event within one trading day of such request, confirm to the Holder the number shares of
Common Stock then outstanding.]4
7. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
(a) To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant unless the total number of Warrant
Shares (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 12) represented by this Warrant is being exercised. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Attachment A (an
Exercise Notice) to the Company at its address for notice determined as set forth herein, and upon payment of the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder,
the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five trading days after the Date of Exercise (as defined below)) issue and deliver, or cause its transfer agent to issue and deliver, to the Holder a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable
upon such exercise registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. A Date of Exercise means the date on which the Holder shall have delivered to the Company: (i) an Exercise Notice, appropriately completed and duly
signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price (by certified or official bank check, intra-bank account transfer or wire transfer) for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased (which must be received by the
Company within three calendar days from the date on which the Holder delivers the Exercise Notice to the Company).
(b) If by the fifth
trading day after a Date of Exercise the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 7(a), the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
(c) The Companys obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other
circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holders right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law
or in equity, including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Companys failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the
terms hereof.
8. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificated or uncertificated shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee, or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such shares, all of which taxes and expenses
shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a
name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
4 |
Section 6(b) to be included for affiliated entities of each of Messrs. Feinberg and Schuler. |
-3-
9. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the
Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a new Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such
loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested. Applicants for a new Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures
and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a new Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver this mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to
the Companys obligation to issue the new Warrant.
10. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at
all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the
number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from liens or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions
of Section 12). The Company covenants and warrants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly
authorized, issued and fully paid and non-assessable.
11. Notice of Certain Corporate Action. In case the Company shall propose
(a) to offer to the holders of its Common Stock rights to subscribe for or to purchase any shares of Common Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, or (b) to effect any reclassification of its
Common Stock (other than a reclassification involving only the subdivision, or combination, of outstanding shares of Common Stock), or (c) to effect any capital reorganization, or (d) to effect any Fundamental Transaction (as defined
below), or (e) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or (f) to offer to the holders generally of its Common Stock the right to have their shares of Common Stock repurchased or redeemed or otherwise acquired by
the Company, or (g) to take any other action which would require the adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, then in each such case (but without limiting the provisions of
Section 12), the Company shall give to the Holder, a notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the date on which a record is to be taken for purposes of such dividend, distribution of offer of rights, or the date on which such
reclassification, reorganization, Fundamental Transaction, liquidation, dissolution, or winding up is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if any such date is to be fixed and shall also set forth such
facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action on the Common Stock. Such notice shall be so given at least ten Business Days prior to the record date for determining holders of the Common Stock for
purposes of participating in or voting on such action, or at least ten Business Days prior to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, whichever shall be the earlier. Such
notice shall specify, in the case of any subscription or repurchase rights, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto, or the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock
for securities or other property deliverable upon any reorganization, reclassification, Fundamental Transaction or other action, as the case may be. Such notice shall also state whether the action in question or the record date is subject to the
effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act or to a favorable vote of security holders, if either is required, and the adjustment in Exercise Price and/or number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as a
result of such reorganization, reclassification, Fundamental Transaction or other action, to the extent then determinable. No such notice shall be given if the Company reasonably determines that the giving of such notice would require disclosure of
material information which the Company has a bona fide purpose for preserving as confidential or the disclosure of which would not be in the best interests of the Company.
-4-
12. Certain Adjustments. The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant is subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 12.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If
the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of
Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of any Warrants), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares,
(iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company; then in
each such case (A) the Exercise Price will be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event (excluding
treasury shares, if any), and the denominator of which equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event (excluding treasury shares, if any), and (B) the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be
concurrently adjusted by multiplying such number by the reciprocal of such fraction. Such adjustments will take effect (i) if a record date shall have been fixed for determining the stockholders or security holders, as applicable, of the
Company entitled to receive such dividend, distribution or issuance by reclassification, as the case may be, immediately after such record date, (ii) otherwise, immediately after the effective date of such dividend, distribution, subdivision,
combination, or issuance by reclassification, as the case may be.
(b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant
is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or a series of related transactions, (A) effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) effects any sale, lease, license, assignment,
transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets, (C) effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (except for issuances by reclassification contemplated by Section 12(a)(iv)), or (D) consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business
combination (including a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than fifty percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not
including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or group making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination), or
(ii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person or group of Persons) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their
shares for other securities, cash or property (each transaction or series of transactions referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, a Fundamental Transaction); then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the
Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, (1) the number of shares of common stock of the successor or
acquiring corporation or, if it is the surviving corporation, of the Company, and (2) any additional consideration (the Alternate Consideration) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number
of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate
Consideration based on the amount and components of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Board shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a
reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration (substituting the most appropriate market-based measure for the Trading Market in determining the daily VWAP from time to time for each
component of
-5-
the Alternate Consideration or, if no market-based measure is reasonably available for any such component, fixing the daily VWAP of such component at the value determined by such apportionment,
but subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 12). If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the
same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in
such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor to this Warrant but adjusted to be consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders right to exercise such warrant for the appropriate number
of shares of capital stock and Alternate Consideration, if any, in exchange for this Warrant. The Company shall ensure that the terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such
successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 12(b) and ensuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction or series of related
transactions analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. VWAP means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (A) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a trading market, the
daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the principal trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a trading day from 9:30
a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (B) if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the Pink Sheets published by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its
functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported during trading hours, or (C) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser
selected in good faith by the Companys Board of Directors and reasonably acceptable to the Principal Holders, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
(c) Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, and from time to time upon the request of the Holder, the Company
shall furnish to the Holder the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment or otherwise in effect and the number of Warrant Shares then available for purchase under this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and
the facts upon which such calculation is based.
13. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in
connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay the Holder an amount of cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the closing price of one share
of Common Stock as reported on the principal trading market for the Common Stock on the Date of Exercise.
14. No Impairment. The
Company shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending its Certificate of Incorporation, any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or
seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action, as may be necessary or appropriate to protect
the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly issue fully paid and nonassessable shares
of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant at the then Exercise Price therefor.
15. No Rights as a Stockholder; Notice to
Holder. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the
Company or any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company.
-6-
16. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon
thirty days notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new
warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or stockholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any
further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holders last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
17. Miscellaneous.
(a)

communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number pursuant to this Section 17(a) prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a trading day, (ii) the next trading day after the date of transmission, if such notice or

consent of the Holder, which may be withheld in the Holders sole discretion, or as part of a Fundamental Transaction.

(d) Amendments; Waiver. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and each of the Principal Holders (as defined
below), and any amendment so effected shall amend each Warrant issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and be binding upon each holder of such Warrants (provided, however, that any such amendment that adversely affects the Holder in
a manner that does not apply uniformly to all holders of such Warrants shall require the written consent of such adversely affected Holder). Any provision of this Warrant may be waived, but only if in writing by the party against whom enforcement of
any such waiver is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Warrant shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other
provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. For purposes of this Warrant, Principal Holders shall

5.
Transfer of Warrant.
(a) No Holder may, directly or indirectly, sell, exchange, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of
this Warrant without the prior written consent of the Company; provided that (i) a Holder that is a natural person may transfer all or a portion of this Warrant to one or more trusts for the benefit of such Holder, such Holders spouse, a
lineal descendant of such Holder or such Holders parents, the spouse of any such descendant or a lineal descendant of any such spouse and (ii) a Holder that is a Person other than a natural person may transfer all or a portion of the
Warrant to an Affiliate of such Holder.
(b) Subject to the Holders appropriate compliance with the restrictive legend on this
Warrant and the transfer restrictions set forth herein, the Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment substantially in the form attached
hereto as Attachment B duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new Warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new
Warrant, a New Warrant), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the
transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
6. Exercise and Duration of Warrants.
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the six month anniversary of the
date hereof to and including the Expiration Date. At 6:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value. The Company may not call or redeem all or
any portion of this Warrant without the prior written consent of the Holder.
(b) [Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the
applicable notice of exercise, the Holder (together with the Holders affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holders affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the
outstanding Common Stock. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with
respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any
of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other securities of the Company or its subsidiaries which would entitle the
holder thereof to acquire at any time shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, the Series B/C Exchange Warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the
Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6(b),
-2-
beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, for purposes of this Section 6(b), group has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the
extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6(b) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this
Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a notice of exercise shall be deemed to be the Holders determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by
the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable. For purposes of this Section 6(b), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (i) the Companys most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement
by the Company or (iii) a more recent notice by the Company or the Companys transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Upon the request of the Holder, the Company shall promptly,
and in any event within one trading day of such request, confirm to the Holder the number shares of Common Stock then outstanding.]3
7. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
(a) To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant unless the total number of Warrant
Shares (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 12) represented by this Warrant is being exercised. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Attachment A (an
Exercise Notice) to the Company at its address for notice determined as set forth herein, and upon payment of the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder,
the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five trading days after the Date of Exercise (as defined below)) issue and deliver, or cause its transfer agent to issue and deliver, to the Holder a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable
upon such exercise registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. A Date of Exercise means the date on which the Holder shall have delivered to the Company: (i) an Exercise Notice, appropriately completed and duly
signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price (by certified or official bank check, intra-bank account transfer or wire transfer) for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased.
(b) If by the fifth trading day after a Date of Exercise the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner
required pursuant to Section 7(a), the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
(c) The Companys
obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof,
the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company
or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares.
Nothing herein shall limit a Holders right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Companys failure to timely
deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

8. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificated or uncertificated
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee, or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such shares, all of
which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for
Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
9. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in
exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a new Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and
reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested. Applicants for a new Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs
as the Company may prescribe. If a new Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver this mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Companys obligation to issue the new
Warrant.
10. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the
aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and
deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from liens or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 12). The Company covenants
and warrants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and non-assessable.
11. Notice of Certain Corporate Action. In case the Company shall propose (a) to offer to the holders of its Common Stock
rights to subscribe for or to purchase any shares of Common Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or options, or (b) to effect any reclassification of its Common Stock (other than a reclassification involving
only the subdivision, or combination, of outstanding shares of Common Stock), or (c) to effect any capital reorganization, or (d) to effect any Fundamental Transaction (as defined below), or (e) to effect the liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Company or (f) to offer to the holders generally of its Common Stock the right to have their shares of Common Stock repurchased or redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Company, or (g) to take any other action which
would require the adjustment of the Exercise Price and/or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, then in each such case (but without limiting the provisions of Section 12), the Company shall give to the
Holder, a notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the date on which a record is to be taken for purposes of such dividend, distribution of offer of rights, or the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, Fundamental
Transaction, liquidation, dissolution, or winding up is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if any such date is to be fixed and shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be
reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action on the Common Stock. Such notice shall be so given at least ten Business Days prior to the record date for determining holders of the Common Stock for purposes of participating in or voting
on such action, or at least ten Business Days prior to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock,
-4-
whichever shall be the earlier. Such notice shall specify, in the case of any subscription or repurchase rights, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto, or the
date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon any reorganization, reclassification, Fundamental Transaction or other action, as the case may be. Such
notice shall also state whether the action in question or the record date is subject to the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act or to a favorable vote of security holders, if either is required, and the adjustment in
Exercise Price and/or number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, Fundamental Transaction or other action, to the extent then determinable. No such notice shall be given if
the Company reasonably determines that the giving of such notice would require disclosure of material information which the Company has a bona fide purpose for preserving as confidential or the disclosure of which would not be in the best interests
of the Company.
12. Certain Adjustments. The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is subject to
adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 12.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any
time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for
avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of any Warrants), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of
reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company; then in each such case (A) the Exercise Price
will be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event (excluding treasury shares, if any), and the denominator
of which equals the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event (excluding treasury shares, if any), and (B) the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be concurrently adjusted by multiplying such number
by the reciprocal of such fraction. Such adjustments will take effect (i) if a record date shall have been fixed for determining the stockholders or security holders, as applicable, of the Company entitled to receive such dividend, distribution
or issuance by reclassification, as the case may be, immediately after such record date, (ii) otherwise, immediately after the effective date of such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination, or issuance by reclassification, as the case
may be.
(b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or
indirectly, in one or a series of related transactions, (A) effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (B) effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all
or substantially all of its assets, (C) effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for
other securities, cash or property (except for issuances by reclassification contemplated by Section 12(a)(iv)), or (D) consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including a reorganization,
recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than fifty percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held
by the other Person or group making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination), or (ii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer,
tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person or group of Persons) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property (each
transaction or series of transactions referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, a
-5-
Fundamental Transaction); then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable
upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, (1) the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or, if it is the surviving corporation, of the Company, and (2) any
additional consideration (the Alternate Consideration) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such
Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount and components of Alternate Consideration issuable in
respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Board shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the
Alternate Consideration (substituting the most appropriate market-based measure for the Trading Market in determining the daily VWAP from time to time for each component of the Alternate Consideration or, if no market-based measure is reasonably
available for any such component, fixing the daily VWAP of such component at the value determined by such apportionment, but subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 12). If holders of Common Stock are given any choice
as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental
Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor to this Warrant but adjusted to be
consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders right to exercise such warrant for the appropriate number of shares of capital stock and Alternate Consideration, if any, in exchange for this Warrant. The Company shall
ensure that the terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 12(b) and ensuring that
this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction or series of related transactions analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. VWAP means, for any date, the price determined by
the first of the following clauses that applies: (A) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a trading market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the principal
trading market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a trading day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (B) if prices for the Common Stock are then reported
in the Pink Sheets published by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported during trading hours, or
(C) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Companys Board of Directors and reasonably acceptable to the Principal Holders, the fees and
expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
(c) Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, and from time
to time upon the request of the Holder, the Company shall furnish to the Holder the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment or otherwise in effect and the number of Warrant Shares then available for purchase under this Warrant, setting forth
in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.
13. No Fractional Shares. No
fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares which would otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay the Holder an amount of cash equal to the product of such
fraction multiplied by the closing price of one share of Common Stock as reported on the principal trading market for the Common Stock on the Date of Exercise.
-6-
14. No Impairment. The Company shall not by any action including, without limitation,
amending its Certificate of Incorporation, any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the
terms of this Warrant, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action, as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant at
the then Exercise Price therefor.
15. No Rights as a Stockholder; Notice to Holder. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be
construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as a
stockholder of the Company.
16. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon thirty days
notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall
be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or stockholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such
successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holders last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
17. Miscellaneous.
(a)

communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number pursuant to this Section 17(a) prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a trading day, (ii) the next trading day after the date of transmission, if such notice or

Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail such Purchaser of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable
Securities without registration.
3.5 Obligations of the Purchasers.
(a) Each Purchaser shall furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the
intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company
may reasonably request. At least five Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of the any Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Purchaser of the information the Company requires from such Purchaser if such Purchaser
elects to have any of its Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. A Purchaser shall provide such information to the Company at least two Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement
if such Purchaser elects to have any of its Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.
(b) Each Purchaser, by its
acceptance of the Registrable Securities agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Purchaser has notified the Company
in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
(c) Each Purchaser agrees
that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of either (i) the commencement of an Allowed Delay pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii) the happening of an event pursuant to Section 3.4(d) and Section 3.4(e)
hereof, such Purchaser will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until the Purchaser is advised by the Company that such dispositions may again be
made.
13
3.6 Underwriting.
(a) Shelf Registrations.
(i) If the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder so requests, an offering of Registrable Securities shall be in the form of an underwritten
offering, and such Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder shall have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer the offering. In the case of an underwritten offering under Section 3.1, the price, underwriting
discount and other financial terms for the Registrable Securities shall be determined by the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder.
(ii) If the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities included in a Shelf
Take-Down advise the Board in writing that, in its or their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such Shelf Take-Down exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse
effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, the securities to be included in such Shelf Take-Down (i) first, shall be allocated pro rata among the Participating
Holders that have requested to participate in such Shelf Take-Down based on the relative number of Registrable Securities requested by each Participating Holder to be included in such Shelf Take-Down and (ii) second, and only if all the
securities referred to in clause (i) have been included in such Shelf Take-Down, the number of securities that the Company proposes to include in such Shelf Take-Down that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold
without having such adverse effect.
(iii) If requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering requested by an
Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder under Section 3.1, the Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering, such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Company, the
Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder and the underwriters, and to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms as are generally prevailing in agreements of that type, including customary indemnities.
(b) Piggyback Registrations.
(i) If the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act as contemplated by Section 3.2 and such
securities are to be distributed in an underwritten offering through one or more underwriters, the Company shall, if requested by any Holders pursuant to Section 3.2, use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for such underwriters to
include on the same terms and conditions that apply to the other sellers in such registration all the Registrable Securities to be offered and sold by such Holders among the securities of the Company to be distributed by such underwriters in such
registration.
(ii) If the managing underwriter or underwriters of any proposed underwritten offering including Registrable Securities
pursuant to Section 3.2 informs the Company and each Participating Holder that, in its or their opinion, the number of securities which the Participating Holders intend to include in such offering exceeds the number which can
14
be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, then
the securities to be included in such registration shall be (i) first, 100% of the securities that the Company and (ii) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (i) have been included, the number of
Registrable Securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect in such registration, which such number shall be allocated pro rata among the Participating Holders that
have requested to participate in such registration based on the relative number of Registrable Securities requested by each Participating Holder to be included in such underwritten offering.
(c) Participation in Underwritten Registrations. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.6(a)(ii) and
Section 3.6(b)(ii) above, no Person may participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Persons securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the
Persons entitled to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and all
applicable securities laws. The Participating Holders shall be parties to such underwriting agreement, which underwriting agreement shall (i) contain such representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company
to and for the benefit of such Participating Holders as are customarily made by issuers to selling stockholders in secondary underwritten public offerings and (ii) provide that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such
underwriters under such underwriting agreement also shall be conditions precedent to the obligations of such Participating Holders. Any such Participating Holder shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with
the Company or the underwriters in connection with such underwriting agreement other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Participating Holder, such Participating Holders title to the Registrable Securities, such
Participating Holders authority to sell the Registrable Securities, such Participating Holders intended method of distribution, absence of liens with respect to the Registrable Securities, enforceability of the applicable underwriting
agreement as against such Participating Holder, receipt of all consents and approvals with respect to the entry into such underwriting agreement and the sale of such Registrable Securities and any other representations required to be made by such
Participating Holder under applicable law, rule or regulation, and the aggregate amount of the liability of such Participating Holder in connection with such underwriting agreement shall not exceed such Participating Holders net proceeds from
such underwritten offering.
(d) Clear Market. With respect to any underwritten offerings of Registrable Securities by the
Holders, the Company agrees not to, and shall not be obligated to, effect any public sale or distribution, or to file any Registration Statement covering any of its equity securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable
for such securities, during the period not to exceed ten days prior and sixty days following the effective date of such offering (or such lesser period that the managing underwriters in any underwritten offering permit). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company may effect the registration of (A) equity securities and/or options or other rights in respect thereof solely registered on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or successor form) or (B) shares of equity securities and/or options
or other rights in respect thereof to be offered to directors, employees, consultants, customers, lenders or vendors of the Company or its Subsidiaries or in connection with dividend reinvestment plans.
15
3.7 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and its officers, directors, members,
employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls such Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject
under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
any Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made; (ii) any Blue Sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company
filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a Blue Sky Application);
(iii) the omission or alleged omission to state in a Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made;
(iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such
registration; or (v) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such Registration Statement in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will
undertake such registration or qualification on a Purchasers behalf and will reimburse such Purchaser, and each such officer, director or member and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Purchaser or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such
Registration Statement or Prospectus.
(b) Indemnification by the Purchasers. Each Purchaser agrees, severally but not jointly, to
indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated in a Registration
Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, to the extent, but only to the extent that such
16
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Purchaser to the Company specifically for inclusion in
such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of a Purchaser be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Purchaser in connection with
any claim relating to this Section 3 and the amount of any damages such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Purchaser upon the sale of the Registrable Securities
included in a Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.
Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (provided, however, that such indemnified party shall, at the expense of the indemnifying party, be entitled to counsel of its own choosing to monitor such defense);
provided that, subject to the preceding sentence, any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case,
if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of
such Person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give
notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does
not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.
(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable
to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or
liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in
amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in
17
connection with any claim relating to this Section 3 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
4. Miscellaneous.
4.1
Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the choice of law principles thereof. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware for the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
Service of process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto
irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to the laying of venue in such court. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
4.2 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be
binding upon, the successor and assigns of the parties hereto (other than the rights of any Holder under Sections 2 or 3 hereof, which shall not be assignable and shall not inure to the benefit of any successor or assign of a Holder).
The Company may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder except with the prior written consent of each Holder. Each Exchange Warrantholder who is a Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons permitted
under the Exchange Agreement, except as specified above and each Nonparticipating Purchaser who is a Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons permitted under the Securities Purchase Agreement, except as
specified above.
4.3 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the full and
entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof. Any previous agreements among the parties relative to the specific subject matter hereof are superseded by this Agreement. Any term of this
Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company, and the Principal
Purchasers; provided, however, that any such amendment that adversely affects any Holder in a manner that does not apply uniformly to all Holders shall require the written consent of such adversely affected Holder. Any amendment or
waiver effected in accordance with this Section 4.3 shall be binding upon each Holder, each future Holder, and the Company.
4.4 Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder to be sent to the Exchange Warrantholders shall
be made as set forth in Section 7.3 of the Exchange Agreement and any notices or other communications to be sent to the Nonparticipating Purchasers shall be made as set forth in Section 7.3 of the Securities Purchase
Agreement.
18
4.5 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected,
impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or
restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid,
illegal, void or unenforceable.
4.6 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this
Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
4.7 Counterparts. 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 each other party, it being understood
that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a .pdf format data 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.
4.8 Delays or Omissions. It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party upon any
breach or default of any other party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or any acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach or default
thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or
character of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in writing, and that all remedies, either
under this Agreement, by law or otherwise, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
4.9 Consents. Any permission, consent, or
approval of any kind or character under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.
4.10 SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT IRREPARABLE DAMAGE WOULD OCCUR IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
AGREEMENT WERE NOT PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS SPECIFIC INTENT OR WERE OTHERWISE BREACHED. IT IS ACCORDINGLY AGREED THAT THE PARTIES SHALL BE ENTITLED TO AN
19
INJUNCTION OR INJUNCTIONS, WITHOUT BOND, TO PREVENT OR CURE BREACHES OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND TO ENFORCE SPECIFICALLY THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS HEREOF, THIS BEING IN ADDITION TO ANY
OTHER REMEDY TO WHICH THEY MAY BE ENTITLED BY LAW OR EQUITY, AND ANY PARTY SUED FOR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY DEFENSE THAT A REMEDY IN DAMAGES WOULD BE ADEQUATE.
4.11 Construction of Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed against either party as the drafter thereof.
4.12 Section References. Unless otherwise stated, any reference contained herein to a Section or subsection refers to the provisions of
this Agreement.

Exhibit 10.1
August 12, 2014
Board of Directors
Hansen Medical, Inc.
800 East Middlefield Road
Mountain View, CA 94043
Dear Sirs:
I hereby voluntarily agree to extend the 90 day time period following my first day of employment with Hansen Medical, Inc. (the
Company) for the Company to grant the restricted stock units and performance stock units (collectively, the Stock Units) described in my letter agreement with the Company dated April 24, 2014. I understand and agree that
the Company will grant the Stock Units to me as soon as practicable but in no event later than March 31, 2015.
I acknowledge and
agree that the delay of the grant of the Stock Units described in the preceding paragraph will not constitute Good Reason, nor will it be considered to be a Good Reason Condition, under the Retention Agreement entered into as
of April 25, 2014, between me and the Company.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Cary G. Vance
Cary G. Vance
Exhibit 10.2
September 8, 2014
Brian Sheahan
Dear Brian,
Hansen Medical, Inc. (the Company) is pleased to offer you employment on the following terms:
1. Position. Your title will be Vice President, Regulatory, Clinical and Quality Affairs. This position will report to the Companys President and
Chief Executive Officer, and is a full-time position contingent upon successful completion of reference and background checks. While you render services to the Company, you will not engage in any other employment, consulting or other business
activity (whether full-time or part-time) that would create a conflict of interest with the Company. By signing this letter agreement, you confirm to the Company that you have no contractual commitments or other legal obligations that would prohibit
you from performing your duties for the Company, provided, however, that you may continue to provide services to your current employer Direct Flow Medical, Inc. through October 17, 2014.
2. Cash Compensation. The Company will pay you a starting salary at the rate of $285,000 per year, payable in accordance with the Companys
standard payroll schedule. This salary will be reviewed annually and will be subject to adjustment pursuant to the Companys employee compensation policies in effect from time to time. In addition, you will be eligible for an incentive bonus
with an annual target payout of 35% of your base salary. For the Companys 2014 fiscal year, this bonus opportunity will be prorated for partial year service during 2014. The Board will determine whether and to what extent the bonus criteria
have been achieved and its determinations with respect to your bonus will be final and binding. Any bonus will be paid within 2 1⁄2 months after the close of
the fiscal year, but only if you are still employed by the Company at the time of payment.
3. Employee Benefits. As a regular employee of
the Company, you will be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans maintained by the Company and generally available to similarly-situated employees of the Company, including, without limitation, the Companys life, health and
disability insurance plans, subject in each case to the generally applicable terms and conditions of the plan. In addition, during your employment, you will be entitled to three weeks of paid vacation per year, notwithstanding the Companys
vacation policy as in effect from time to time.

4. Equity Awards.
A. Stock Option. On your first day of employment with the Company, you will be granted an option to purchase shares of the
Companys Common Stock having an aggregate Black-Scholes value of approximately $200,000 (the Option). The exercise price per share of the Option will be equal to the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date
the Option is granted. You will vest in 25% of the Option shares after 12 months of continuous employment, and the balance will vest in equal monthly installments over the next 36 months of continuous employment, as described in the applicable Stock
Option Agreement. The Option will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Companys 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan), as described in the Plan and the applicable Stock Option Agreement.
The Option will vest in 25% of the option shares after 12 months of continuous service, and the balance will vest in equal monthly installments over the next 36 months of continuous service, as described in the applicable Stock Option Agreement.
B. Restricted Stock Units. On or within 90 days of your first day of employment with the Company, you will be granted restricted
stock units representing a number of shares of the Companys common stock equal to $100,000 divided by the 6-month trailing average closing price of the Companys common stock through 7/31/14. Provided that you remain continuously employed
by the Company through each vesting date, you will vest in 25% of the restricted stock units on September 1, 2015 and an additional 6.25% of the restricted stock units will vest on each Company vesting date thereafter (i.e.,
March 1st, June 1st, September 1st and December 1st), as described in the applicable Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. The restricted stock grant will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to options granted
under the Plan, as described in the Plan and the applicable Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.
C. Performance Stock Units. On or
within 90 days of your first day of employment with the Company, you will be granted performance stock units representing a number of shares of the Companys common stock equal to $100,000 divided by the 6-month trailing average closing price
of the Companys common stock through 7/31/2014 (the On-Target PSUs). As described in the applicable Performance Stock Unit Agreement, vesting of the performance stock units will be based on the achievement of both the
Companys fiscal year 2015 revenue target (the Performance Condition) and your continued employment through the applicable vesting dates. Specifically, on the date the Board determines whether and to what extent the Performance
Condition is satisfied, 50% of the earned units will vest, and the remaining 50% of such earned units will vest on the third anniversary of the date your employment commences (provided you remain in continuous employment through each such date). The
On-Target PSUs will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Plan, as described in the Plan and the applicable Performance Stock Unit Agreement. In addition to the On-Target PSUs, you will be granted additional
restricted stock units equal to 50% of the On-Target PSUs that you will be eligible to vest in if the Performance Condition is exceeded and your employment continues through the applicable vesting dates, as further described in the applicable
Performance Stock Unit Agreement.

4. Section 409A. For purposes of Code
Section 409A, each payment provided for hereunder is hereby designated as a separate payment, including each payment made pursuant to a schedule of installment payments which shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments.
Notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary, each of the payments provided in connection with Executives Separation from Service (other than COBRA payments) is intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A pursuant to Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) or Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), as applicable. To the extent that any payment is exempt pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), it will in any event be paid no
later than the last day of Executives second taxable year following the taxable year in which Executives Separation from Service has occurred. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is deemed by the
Corporation at the time of his Separation from Service to be a specified employee for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the benefits to which Executive is entitled
under this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such portion of Executives benefits shall not be provided to Executive prior to the earlier of (a) the
expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of Executives Separation from Service or (b) the date of Executives death. Upon the first business day following the expiration of the applicable Code
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to this Section 4 shall be paid in a lump sum to Executive, and any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.
5. Excise Tax Limitation.
(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the benefits provided by this Agreement, together
with all other payments and the value of any benefits received or to be received by Executive (Payments), constitute parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and, but for this
Section 5, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the Excise Tax), then the Payments shall be made to Executive either (i) in full or (ii) as to such lesser amount as would
result in no portion of the Payments being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Executive on an
after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax. The Corporation shall reduce or eliminate the Payments by first reducing or eliminating cash payments and
then by reducing those payments or benefits which are not payable in cash, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the Determination (as hereinafter defined).
6
(b) Unless the Corporation and Executive otherwise agree in writing, an initial determination as
to whether the Payments shall be reduced and the amount of such reduction shall be made, at the Corporations expense, by the accounting firm that is the Corporations independent accounting firm as of the date of the Change in Control
(the Accounting Firm). The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the Determination), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to the Corporation and Executive within twenty
(20) days of the Date of Termination if applicable, or such other time as requested by the Corporation or by Executive (provided Executive reasonably believes that Executive will receive Payments which may be subject to the Excise Tax), and if
the Accounting Firm determines that there is substantial authority (within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code) that no Excise Tax is payable by Executive with respect to a Payment or Payments, it shall furnish Executive with an opinion
reasonably acceptable to Executive that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Payment or Payments. Within ten (10) days of the delivery of the Determination to Executive, Executive shall have the right to dispute the
Determination (the Dispute). If there is no Dispute, the Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Corporation and Executive.
(c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 4999 and 280G of the Code, it is possible that the Payments to be made to,
or provided for the benefit of, Executive either will be greater (an Excess Payment) or less (an Underpayment) than the amounts provided for by the limitation contained in Section 5(a).
(i) If it is established pursuant to a final determination of a court or an Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) proceeding
which has been finally and conclusively resolved that an Excess Payment has been made, such Excess Payment shall be deemed for all purposes to be a loan to Executive made on the date Executive received the Excess Payment and Executive shall repay
the Excess Payment to the Corporation on demand (but not less than ten (10) days after written notice is received by Executive) together with interest on the Excess Payment at the Applicable Federal Rate (as defined in
Section 1274(d) of the Code) from the date of Executives receipt of such Excess Payment until the date of such repayment.
(ii) In the event that it is determined by (A) the Accounting Firm, the Corporation (which shall include the position taken by the
Corporation, or together with its consolidated group, on its federal income tax return) or the IRS, (B) pursuant to a determination by a court, or (C) upon the resolution to Executives satisfaction of the Dispute that an Underpayment
has occurred, the Corporation shall pay an amount equal to the Underpayment to Executive within ten (10) days of such determination or resolution, together with interest on such amount at the Applicable Federal Rate from the date such amount
would have been paid to Executive until the date of payment.
6. Successors; Binding Agreement.
(a) The Corporation shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or
7
assets of the Corporation to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform it if no such
succession had taken place. Unless expressly provided otherwise, Corporation as used herein shall mean the Corporation as defined in this Agreement and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid.
(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive and Executives personal or legal representatives,
executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If Executive should die while any amount would still be payable to Executive hereunder had Executive continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided
herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executives devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there is no such designee, to Executives estate.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a)
Modification or Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be modified or amended unless such modification or amendment is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and an authorized officer of the Corporation as may be specifically
designated by the Board or a committee thereof.
(b) Waiver. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the
other party hereto of or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.
(c) Complete Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Executive and the Corporation and is the complete,
final and exclusive embodiment of their agreement with regard to this subject matter, and this Agreement shall supersede any prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements regarding this subject matter. No agreements or representations, oral or
otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement.
(d) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Notwithstanding Section 7(c), nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit Executives
continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Corporation (except for any severance or termination policies, plans, programs or practices) and for which Executive may qualify, nor shall
anything herein limit or reduce such rights as Executive may have under any other agreements with the Corporation (except for any severance, termination or other agreement regarding the subject matter of this Agreement). Amounts which are vested
benefits or which Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program of the Corporation shall be payable in accordance with such plan or program, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.
(e) Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of California without regard to its conflicts of law principles.
8
(f) Statutory References. All references to sections of the Exchange Act or the Code shall
be deemed also to refer to any successor provisions to such sections.
(g) Tax Withholding. Any payments provided for hereunder
shall be paid net of any applicable withholding required under federal, state or local law.
(h) Section Headings. The section
headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only, and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
(j) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

controversies regarding this Agreement shall be resolved, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding and confidential arbitration in Palo Alto, California conducted before a single arbitrator by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation
Services/Endispute (JAMS) or its successor, under the then applicable JAMS rules. By agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both parties waive the right to resolve any such dispute through a trial by jury or judge or by
administrative proceeding. The arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b) issue a written arbitration
decision including the arbitrators essential findings and conclusions and a statement of the award. The Corporation shall pay all of JAMS arbitration fees. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either party from obtaining injunctive
relief in court if necessary to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any arbitration.
9. Fees and Expenses. In
connection with a Covered Termination which occurs within twelve (12) months after a Change in Control, the Corporation shall pay all reasonable legal fees and related expenses (including the costs of experts, evidence and counsel) incurred by
Executive as they become due as a result of (a) Executive seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement (including, but not limited to, any such fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Dispute whether as
a result of any applicable government taxing authority proceeding, audit or otherwise), and (b) Executives hearing before the Board as contemplated in Section 1(b) of this Agreement. To the extent that any reimbursements payable to
Executive pursuant to this Section 9 are subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, such reimbursements shall be paid to Executive no later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the cost was incurred,

PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT
The following confirms and memorializes an agreement that HANSEN MEDICAL, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the Company) and I have had since the commencement of my employment with the Company in any capacity and that is and has been a material part of the consideration for my employment by Company:
1. I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict with this Agreement or my
employment with Company. I will not violate any agreement with or rights of any third party or, except as expressly authorized by Company in writing hereafter, use or disclose my own or any third partys confidential information or intellectual
property when acting within the scope of my employment or otherwise on behalf of Company. Further, I have not retained anything containing any confidential information of a prior employer or other third party, whether or not created by me.
2. Company shall own, and I shall assign, convey and transfer and do hereby assign, convey and transfer to Company all right, title and
interest (including patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights, mask work rights and all other intellectual and industrial property rights of any sort throughout the world) relating to any and all inventions (whether or not patentable), works of
authorship, mask works, designs, know-how, ideas and information made or conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by me during the term of my employment with Company to and only to the fullest extent allowed by California Labor Code
Section 2870 (which is attached as Appendix A) (collectively Inventions). I will promptly disclose all Inventions to Company. I shall further assist Company, at Companys expense, to further evidence, record and perfect such
assignments, and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce, and defend any rights specified to be so owned or assigned. I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Company as my agent and attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest and with full power of
substitution, to act for and in my behalf to execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.
I will also disclose anything I believe is excluded by Section 2870 so that the Company can make an independent assessment. Unless
excluded by Section 2870 and disclosed in writing in advance, I further agree that I will not file, cause or allow to be filed any application for patent rights involving or disclosing any of the subject matter of my work for Company, or any
related subject matter, during the time of my employment with Company, or for a period of one year after my employment ends for any reason.
If anything created by me prior to my employment relates to Companys actual or proposed business, I have listed it on Appendix B in a
manner that does not violate any third party rights. Without limiting the other paragraphs of this Agreement or Companys other rights and remedies, if, when acting within the scope of my employment or otherwise on behalf of Company, I use or
disclose my own (except pursuant to this paragraph 2) or any third partys confidential information or intellectual property (or if any Invention cannot be fully made, used, reproduced, distributed and otherwise exploited without using or
violating the foregoing), Company will have and I hereby grant Company a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable right and license to exploit and exercise all such confidential information and intellectual
property rights.
1
3. To the extent allowed by law, paragraph 2 includes all rights of paternity, integrity,
disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as moral rights, artists rights, droit moral, or the like (collectively Moral Rights). To the extent I retain
any such Moral Rights under applicable law, I hereby ratify and consent to any action that may be taken with respect to such Moral Rights by or authorized by Company and agree not to assert any Moral Rights with respect thereto. I will confirm any
such ratifications, consents and agreements from time to time as requested by Company.
4. I agree that all Inventions and all other
business, technical and financial information (including, without limitation, the identity of and information relating to customers or employees) I develop, learn or obtain during the term of my employment that relate to Company or the business or
demonstrably anticipated business of Company or that are received by or for Company in confidence, constitute Proprietary Information. I will hold in confidence and not disclose or, except within the scope of my employment, use any
Proprietary Information. However, I shall not be obligated under this paragraph with respect to information I can document is or becomes readily publicly available without restriction through no fault of mine Upon termination of my employment, I
will promptly return to Company all items containing or embodying Proprietary Information (including all copies), except that I may keep my personal copies of (i) my compensation records, (ii) materials distributed to shareholders
generally and (iii) this Agreement. I also recognize and agree that I have no expectation of privacy with respect to Companys telecommunications, networking or information processing systems (including, without limitation, stored computer
files, email messages and voice messages) and that my activity and any files or messages on or using any of those systems may be monitored at any time without notice.
5. Until one year after the term of my employment, I will not encourage or solicit any employee or consultant of Company to leave Company for
any reason (except for the bona fide firing of Company personnel within the scope of my employment).
6. I agree that during the term of
my employment with Company (whether or not during business hours), I will not engage in any activity that is in any way competitive with the business or demonstrably anticipated business of Company, and I will not assist any other person or
organization in competing or in preparing to compete with any business or demonstrably anticipated business of Company.
7. I agree that
this Agreement is not an employment contract for any particular term and that I have the right to resign and Company has the right to terminate my employment at will, at any time, for any or no reason, with or without cause. In addition, this
Agreement does not purport to set forth all of the terms and conditions of my employment, and, as an employee of Company, I have obligations to Company which are not set forth in this Agreement. However, the terms of this Agreement govern over any
inconsistent terms and can only be changed by a subsequent written agreement signed by the President of Company.
8. I agree that my
obligations under paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Agreement shall continue in effect after termination of my employment, regardless of the reason or reasons for termination, and whether such termination is voluntary or involuntary on my part, and
that Company is entitled to communicate my obligations under this Agreement to any future employer or potential employer of mine. My obligations under paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 also shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, assigns, and administrators
and shall inure to the benefit of Company, it subsidiaries, successors and assigns.
2
9. Any dispute in the meaning, effect or validity of this Agreement shall be resolved in
accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. I further agree that if one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be illegal or unenforceable under applicable California law,
such illegal or unenforceable portion(s) shall be limited or excluded from this Agreement to the minimum extent required so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms. I also
understand that any breach of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm to Company for which damages would not be an adequate remedy, and, therefore, Company will be entitled to injunctive relief with respect thereto in addition to any other
remedies and without any requirement to post bond.

I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND I UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THE OBLIGATIONS WHICH IT
IMPOSES UPON ME WITHOUT RESERVATION. NO PROMISES OR REPRESENTATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO ME TO INDUCE ME TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT. I SIGN THIS AGREEMENT VOLUNTARILY AND FREELY, IN DUPLICATE, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE COMPANY WILL RETAIN ONE
COUNTERPART AND THE OTHER COUNTERPART WILL BE RETAINED BY ME.
