Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:

On January 11, 2018, the Reporting Persons entered into an Amended and Restated Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement (the “Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement”), in which, among other things, the Reporting Persons agreed to (a) the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D, and any amendments thereto, with respect to the securities of the Issuer and (b) form a group (collectively, the “Concerned Aviragen Shareholders Group” or “CAS Group”) for the purposes of (i) seeking representation on the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) at the next meeting of stockholders of the Issuer at which directors can be elected, (ii) for soliciting stockholder support for director nominations and any other proposal submitted by the CAS Group and (iii) for such other actions as the members of the CAS Group agree to take, including, but not limited to, soliciting stockholder support against the proposed merger between the Issuer and Vaxart, Inc., and for the purpose of taking all other action necessary to achieve the foregoing. Pursuant to the Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement, the Reporting Persons agreed that (a) any director candidates to be nominated to the Board by the CAS Group shall be selected by mutual agreement, (ii) all strategic decisions regarding the actions taking by the CAS Group shall be decided by mutual agreement and (iii) Digirad alone shall have the right to pre-approve all expenses incurred in connection with the CAS Group’s activities and agrees to pay directly all such pre-approved expenses. Under the Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement, East Hill agreed that it will not, and it will cause its affiliates not to, sell to the Issuer any shares of the Issuer beneficially owned by East Hill or its affiliates unless (i) East Hill reasonably believes that any large shareholder (beneficial owner of at least 3% of the outstanding shares) of the Issuer intends to sell, or has sold, any shares of the Issuer to the Issuer at a premium over the then current trading price of the shares of the Issuer, or (ii) East Hill reasonably believes that the CAS Group will be unsuccessful in its efforts to elect directors to the Board. In addition, the Reporting Persons agreed that if the CAS Group is successful in its nomination of directors to the Board, the CAS Group will seek reimbursement for (i) East Hill’s legal expenses relating to its previous efforts to effect change at the Issuer and (ii) the CAS Group’s and Digirad’s legal expenses relating to the CAS Group’s activities. The Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement entered into on January 11, 2018 is substantially the same as the Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement entered into by the Reporting Persons on December 29, 2017. The foregoing description of the Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

On January 11, 2018, each of the Nominees entered into a Joinder Agreement (the “Joinder Agreement”) to that certain Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement, dated January 11, 2018, pursuant to which the Nominees agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth therein, including, among other things, the joint filing on behalf of each party of statements on Schedule 13D, and any amendments thereto, with respect to the securities of the Issuer.

Suwanee, GA 30024

Name of Nominee:

Address of Nominee:

Re: Aviragen Therapeutics, Inc.

Dear ____________:

Thank you for agreeing to serve as a nominee for election to the Board of Directors of Aviragen Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the proxy solicitation that Digirad Corporation (“DRAD”), together with East Hill Management Company, LLC and Thomas M. Clay, or any of their affiliates (collectively, the “Group”) is considering undertaking to approve certain business proposals and to nominate and elect directors at the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, including any other meeting of stockholders held in lieu thereof, and any adjournments, postponements, reschedulings or continuations thereof and to take such other actions as the members of the Group agree to take, including, but not limited to, soliciting stockholder support against the proposed merger between the Company and Vaxart, Inc. (collectively, the “Solicitation”). Your outstanding qualifications, we believe, will prove a valuable asset to the Company and all of its stockholders. This letter (this “Agreement”) will set forth the terms of our agreement.

DRAD agrees to jointly and severally indemnify and hold you harmless against any and all claims of any nature, whenever brought, arising from the Solicitation and any related transactions, irrespective of the outcome; provided, however, that you will not be entitled to indemnification for claims arising from your gross negligence, willful misconduct, intentional and material violations of law, criminal actions or material breach of the terms of this agreement; provided further, that upon your becoming a director of the Company, this indemnification shall not apply to any claims made against you in your capacity as a director of the Company. This indemnification will include any and all losses, liabilities, damages, demands, claims, suits, actions, judgments, or causes of action, assessments, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, any civil, criminal, administrative or arbitration action, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation asserted against, resulting, imposed upon, or incurred or suffered by you, directly or indirectly, as a result of or arising from the Solicitation and any related transactions (each, a “Loss”).

In the event of a claim against you pursuant to the prior paragraph or the occurrence of a Loss, you shall give DRAD prompt written notice of such claim or Loss (provided that failure to promptly notify DRAD shall not relieve us from any liability which we may have on account of this Agreement, except to the extent we shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure). Upon receipt of such written notice, DRAD will provide you with counsel to represent you. Such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to you. In addition, you will be reimbursed promptly for all Losses suffered by you and as incurred as provided herein. DRAD may not enter into any settlement of loss or claim without your consent unless such settlement includes a release of you from any and all liability in respect of such claim.

You hereby agree to keep confidential and not disclose to any party, without the consent of DRAD, any confidential, proprietary or non-public information (collectively, “Information”) of DRAD, its affiliates or members of its Schedule 13D group which you have heretofore obtained or may obtain in connection with your service as a nominee hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Information shall not include any information that is publicly disclosed by DRAD, its affiliates or members of its Schedule 13D group or any information that you can demonstrate is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on your part, otherwise generally known to the public.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are required by applicable law, rule, regulation or legal process to disclose any Information you may do so provided that you first promptly notify DRAD so that DRAD or any member thereof may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in DRAD’s sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is obtained or DRAD does not waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement, you may consult with counsel at the cost of DRAD and you may furnish only that portion of the Information which you are advised by counsel is legally required to be so disclosed and you will request that the party(ies) receiving such Information maintain it as confidential.

All Information, all copies thereof, and any studies, notes, records, analysis, compilations or other documents prepared by you containing such Information, shall be and remain the property of DRAD and, upon the request of a representative of DRAD, all such information shall be returned or, at DRAD’s option, destroyed by you, with such destruction confirmed by you to DRAD in writing.

This letter agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of the conflicts of laws thereof.

If you agree to the foregoing terms, please sign below to indicate your acceptance.

Very truly yours,
