SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
This SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT, dated as of January 10, 2014 (this “Agreement”), is by and among Agenus Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), 4-Antibody AG, a joint stock company formed under the laws of Switzerland (the “Company”), the stockholders of the Company who are parties to this Agreement and whose names are set forth in Exhibit A under the headline “Shareholders” (the “Shareholders”) and the Representative. Certain capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in ‎Section 9.1.
BACKGROUND
The board of directors of each of the Purchaser and the Company has determined that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions would be advisable and in the best interests of their respective shareholders and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, have approved this Agreement and the Transactions.
The Company’s outstanding share capital consists of Company Ordinary Shares, Company Series A Shares and Company Series B Shares.
The Noteholders are the holders of the Company Convertible Notes in the principal amounts set forth in Section 2.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter.
The Shareholders are the legal owners of the series and numbers of Shares set forth next to their names in Section 2.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter (collectively, the “Shares”).
Each Shareholder has approved, and deems it advisable and in the best interests of the Shareholder to consummate, the sale of the Shares to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase the Shares from the Shareholders, in each case pursuant and subject hereto.
As a condition and inducement to Purchaser’s entering into this Agreement, the Shareholders are agreeing hereunder to indemnify Purchaser for certain matters relating to the Company and the Shares, and the right of the Shareholders to receive the Purchase Price payable with respect to their Shares hereunder shall be subject to the indemnification obligations of the Shareholders set forth herein.
VISCHER AG, represented by Dr. Matthias Staehelin, has been appointed as the initial Representative as of the date hereof pursuant to Section 8.8 for the purposes set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

2




Article 1
PURCHASE AND SALE
Section 1.1    Sale and Transfer of Shares.
(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing, each Shareholder will sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver, or will cause to be sold, conveyed, assigned, transferred and delivered, to Purchaser, and Purchaser will purchase, acquire, assume and accept, all right, title and interest in and to all of the Shares owned beneficially and of record by such Shareholder as set forth opposite such holder’s name in the Spreadsheet, free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than (i) post-Closing restrictions on transfer set forth in the organizational documents of the Company, (ii) post-Closing restrictions arising pursuant to applicable securities Laws, and (iii) Encumbrances created by Purchaser) and with the benefit of all rights of whatsoever nature attaching or accruing to the Shares, including all rights to any dividends and distributions declared, paid or made in respect of the Shares on or after the Closing.
(b)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, in exchange for the Shares sold hereunder by the Shareholders, the Shareholders will have a right to receive consideration in the form of Closing Consideration Shares and Milestone Consideration (also referred to herein collectively as the “Purchase Price”) in accordance with Section 1.2, Section 1.5 and Section 1.7, which will be allocated among them as set out in the Spreadsheet (or as otherwise directed by the Representative). The Spreadsheet shall provide that to the extent an individual Shareholder would be entitled to a fractional share of Purchaser Common Stock, such fractional share shall be rounded up to a whole share of Purchaser Common Stock. The shares of Purchaser Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement may bear such legends as Purchaser may consider necessary or advisable to facilitate compliance with the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction.
Section 1.2    Closing.
(a)    The closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10 a.m. local time on the date that is three Business Days after the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Article 6 (except for such conditions that by their nature will be satisfied at Closing) or at such other time and date as Purchaser and the Representative agree in writing. The Closing shall take place at the offices of Choate, Hall & Stewart, LLP, Two International Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02110 or at such other location as Purchaser and the Representative agree. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.” All acts and proceedings to be taken and all documents to be executed and delivered by the parties at the Closing will be deemed to have been taken and executed simultaneously, and, except as permitted hereunder, no acts or proceedings will be deemed taken nor any documents executed or delivered until all have been taken, executed and delivered.
(b)    At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Representative will furnish to Purchaser a certificate signed by the Representative setting forth (i) an updated Schedule of Closing Cash, Liabilities and Indebtedness and (ii) written instructions specifying

3




the Closing Consideration Shares to be issued to each recipient thereof at the Closing and delivery instructions for such payments.
(c)    At the Closing the Shareholders shall:
(1)    deliver to Purchaser the original share certificates representing the Shares, duly endorsed in the name of Purchaser;
(2)    deliver an unanimous resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company approving the transfer of Shares to the Purchaser and the registration of the Purchaser as sole shareholder of the Company’s share register as of the Closing Date;
(3)    update the Company’s share register, evidencing the registration, as of the Closing Date, of Purchaser as holder with full voting rights with respect to the Shares; and
(4)    deliver to Purchaser letters of resignation signed by each member of the board of directors of the Company, pursuant to which each of them resign on the Closing Date, and containing a statement of the resigning director that he has been fully compensated for the services rendered to the Company and that he has no claim of whatever nature against the Company.
(d)    At the Closing, upon fulfilment by each Shareholder of the obligations set forth in Section 1.2(c), Purchaser will deliver (or cause Purchaser’s Transfer Agent to deliver) the Closing Consideration Shares to the Shareholders or to cause Purchaser’s Transfer Agent to deliver such Closing Consideration Shares to the account of such Shareholder on the stock transfer records of Purchaser, in accordance with the written instructions of the Representative and as allocated among them as set forth in the Spreadsheet.
(e)    Immediately after the Closing (on the Closing Date), Purchaser will hold an extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders for the purpose of electing new members of the Company’s board of directors to replace those elected by the Shareholders, who shall have resigned with effect on the Closing Date; the Purchaser shall cause the Company to make any necessary filings with the competent commercial register in order to register all corporate changes of the Company contemplated by this Section 1.2.
Section 1.3    Obligations of Purchaser. Purchaser shall not be obliged to complete the purchase of any of the Shares and Purchaser shall not be obligated to issue any Consideration Shares unless the purchase of not less than 95% of all the Shares, in the aggregate, is completed simultaneously in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 1.4    Adjustments. If there is a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into capital stock), reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Shares or Consideration Shares occurring after the date of this Agreement and before the Closing Date, all references in this Agreement to specified numbers of shares of any class or series of

4




Shares, Consideration Shares affected thereby, and all calculations provided for that are based upon numbers of shares of any such class or series (or trading prices therefor) affected thereby, shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the parties the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement before such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change.
Section 1.5    Payment of Milestone Consideration. Within fifteen (15) Business Days following the occurrence of a Milestone Event (subject to the last sentence of subsection (iv) of the definition of “Milestone Consideration Shares”), the Purchaser shall deliver (or cause Purchaser’s Transfer Agent to deliver) to the Shareholders, in such amounts directed by and otherwise upon the written instructions of the Representative, such Milestone Consideration as shall apply with respect to such Milestone Event. In addition, upon the occurrence of the Commercial Milestone Event, the Purchaser shall, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the upfront cash payment associated with such Commercial Milestone Event, pay the Commercial Milestone Consideration to the Shareholders in accordance with the written instructions of the Representative.
Section 1.6    Tax Consequences. No party hereto makes any representation or warranties to any other party hereto regarding the Tax treatment of any transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All parties hereto shall rely solely on their own respective Tax and legal advisors in connection with this Agreement and the other transactions or agreements contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 1.7 of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Schedule of Closing Cash, Liabilities and Indebtedness”) sets forth the Company’s (i) forecast cash balance at the Closing, (ii) forecast ordinary course Liabilities from ongoing operations that will remain unpaid as of the Closing, (iii) other Liabilities not in the ordinary course that will remain unpaid as of the Closing, and (iv) Indebtedness, including the Retained Company Convertible Notes. The amounts in the Schedule of Closing Cash, Liabilities and Indebtedness described in clauses (iii) and (iv), will be accurate and correct as of the Closing Date, subject to any changes therein occurring prior to Closing as to which Purchaser has consented pursuant to Section 5.2. For any Indebtedness that remains outstanding at the Closing (other than the Retained Company Convertible Notes), the Purchaser may retain such number of Closing Consideration Shares having a Deemed Share Value equal to the amount of such outstanding Indebtedness that will remain unpaid as of the Closing. Not less frequently than weekly following the date of this Agreement until the Closing, the Company will provide Purchaser with, and will consult with Purchaser about, an updated Schedule of Closing Cash, Liabilities and Indebtedness that will reflect updated forecasts of the information contained in clauses (i) and (ii) above, as well as the Company’s intended use of cash for the ensuing week and such additional foreseeable period.

Purchaser shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of such registration statement, including all registration and filing fees and printer, legal and accounting fees related thereto.
Section 5.15    Additional Purchaser Common Stock Matters. Subject to Purchaser’s compliance with Section 5.14 above, Shares of Purchaser Common Stock issued to a Shareholder hereunder may not be sold, assigned, transferred or disposed of by such Shareholder prior to the effective date of the Resale Registration Statement without Purchaser’s prior written consent.

The provisions of this Section 5.23 expressly are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the directors and officers of the Company existing immediately prior to Closing.
Section 5.24    Amending Charter. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser will not amend the Charter in any manner that adversely affects the rights of the holders of the Retained Company Convertible Notes prior to such time as such holders have elected to cause such Retained Company Convertible Notes to be redeemed and all consideration payable in connection with such redemption has been paid.

It is specifically agreed that the Indemnitors’ liability in relation to the Transactions is exclusively governed by this Agreement and that no remedy whatsoever under any other statute, law or legal principle, shall be available to the Purchaser except as expressly provided herein. The Purchaser shall, as its sole and exclusive remedy, be entitled to claim compensation, as set out in this Article 8, for Losses incurred or suffered by Purchaser arising out of or relating to any of the items listed below.

(5)    Fraud, intentional misrepresentation, bad faith or intentional misconduct by the Company or any of its directors or officers.
(b)    Each Indemnitor will severally, but not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser from and against all Losses arising out of, related to or otherwise by virtue of (c) any failure of any representation or warranty made by such Indemnitor contained in Article 3 to be true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as if made on such date, (d) any breach of or default in connection with any of the covenants or agreements

42




made by such Indemnitor in his, her or its individual capacity in this Agreement or any certificate required to be delivered to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement, or (e) fraud, intentional misrepresentation, bad faith or intentional misconduct by such Indemnitor.
(f)    From and after the Closing Date, subject to this Article 8, Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Shareholders from and against any and all Losses arising out of, related to or resulting from (1) through (3) below. It is specifically agreed that the Purchaser’s liability in relation to the Transactions is exclusively governed by this Agreement and that no remedy whatsoever under any other statute, law or legal principle, shall be available to the Shareholders. Each Shareholder shall, as its sole and exclusive remedy, be entitled to claim compensation, as set out in this Article 8, for Losses incurred or suffered by such Shareholder arising out of or relating to any of the items listed below. For all purposes of this Article 8, the “Shareholders” shall include such Shareholder and each of its subsidiaries and Affiliates (other than the Company and Purchaser).
(1)    any failure of any representation, warranty or certification made by Purchaser in this Agreement or any certificate required to be delivered to the Shareholders and/or the Company by Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement to be true and correct on the date hereof and on the Closing Date as if made on such date;
(2)    any breach of or default by Purchaser of any of its covenants or agreements under this Agreement; and
(3)    fraud, intentional misrepresentation, bad faith or intentional misconduct by Purchaser or any of its directors or officers.
(g)    Any reduction of the Purchase Price and any indemnification payments by Purchaser under this Article 8 shall be made with an amount corresponding to the Loss dollar by dollar and no multiples, including without limitation any multiple based on past and future cash flows, purchase-price-to-earnings, discounted present values or similar ratios, shall be used when calculating the amount of any Loss.
(h)    In the event an Indemnitor becomes liable for a Loss under this Article 8, such Indemnitor shall be entitled to choose, in its sole discretion, to compensate the Purchaser for Losses by (i) making a cash payment equal to the indemnifiable Loss pursuant to this Article 8 or (ii) by returning Consideration Shares to the Purchaser with an aggregate Deemed Share Value (determined as of the Closing Date or Milestone Event, as the case may be) equal to the indemnifiable Loss pursuant to this Article 8; provided, however, that in the event that the indemnifiable Loss payable pursuant Section 8.2(e)(ii) above is greater than the aggregate Deemed Share Value (determined as of the Closing Date or Milestone Event, as the case may be) of 12.5% of the number of Consideration Shares previously received by the Indemnitor, then, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 8, Purchaser shall have the right to set off any unsatisfied portion of the indemnifiable Loss against any future Milestone Consideration payable to the Shareholders upon the achievement of a Milestone Event.

43




(i)    In the event that Purchaser becomes liable for a Loss under this Article 8, Purchaser shall be entitled to choose, in its sole discretion, to compensate the Shareholders for Losses by (i) making a cash payment of the relevant amount, (ii) by issuing shares of Purchaser Common Stock to the applicable Shareholder with an aggregate Deemed Share Value equal to the amount of the relevant Loss being compensated or (iii) by a combination of (i) and (ii).
Section 8.3    Limitations on Indemnification.
(i)    Subject to the following sentence, the Purchaser may not recover Losses from the Indemnitors in respect of any claim for indemnification under Section 8.2 unless and until Losses have been actually incurred in an aggregate amount greater than $100,000 (the “Indemnification Threshold”) after which, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article 8, Purchaser will be entitled to recover for all Losses in excess of the Indemnification Threshold; provided, however, that no Indemnitor shall be required to indemnify Purchaser for any indemnifiable Losses under Section 8.2 in the aggregate in excess of 12.5 % of the Purchase Price actually received by such Indemnitor (including any future consideration received in connection with the achievement of a subsequent Milestone Event) (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Purchaser will be entitled to recover for, and the Indemnification Threshold and Cap will not apply to, any Losses (i) with respect to any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made in Section 2.2, Section 2.3, or Article 3 (other than Section 3.3) (the “Fundamental Representations”) or (ii) due to fraud, intentional misrepresentation, bad faith or intentional misconduct by the Company or any of its directors or officers in their capacities as such or any Indemnitor; provided, however, that in no event shall any Indemnitor be liable to Purchaser for any Losses in the aggregate in excess of the Purchase Price actually received by such Indemnitor (including any future consideration received in connection with the achievement of a subsequent Milestone Event).
(j)    Notwithstanding Section 8.3(a), recovery of any indemnifiable Loss by Purchaser from an Indemnitor shall be limited to (i) the Purchase Price actually received by such Indemnitor prior the resolution of such indemnification claim plus (ii) the Purchase Price actually receivable by such Indemnitor, if any, upon the occurrence of a Milestone Event subsequent to the resolution of such indemnification claim, which indemnifiable Loss may be offset by Purchaser against payment of the Purchase Price otherwise payable in respect of such future Milestone Event. For the avoidance of doubt, if, for example, Purchaser incurs an indemnifiable Loss to which the Cap applies in the amount of $2,000,000 that is finally resolved after the Closing but before a Milestone Event has occurred, Purchaser shall be entitled to recover $1,250,000 from the Closing Consideration previously paid to the Indemnitors (that is, 12.5% of the Closing Consideration), and the unrecovered balance of 750,000 only by way of offset from the Purchase Price payable with respect to a subsequent Milestone Event (but in no event in the aggregate to exceed the Cap); provided, however, that if a Milestone Event does not subsequently occur, Purchaser shall have no further recourse against any Indemnitor with respect to such unrecovered Loss. In the event that a Liability Claim is outstanding and unresolved at the time of payment of the Purchase Price upon occurrence of a Milestone Event, Purchaser may withhold payment of that portion of such Purchase Price as would be subject to this paragraph had the Liability Claim been finally resolved at such time until such time as the Liability Claim

44




is finally resolved. Any settlement agreement between Purchaser or an Indemnitor and the Representative providing for the recovery of a Liability Claim by Purchaser shall contain provisions consistent with this paragraph, and the parties further agree to instruct any arbitration panel invoked pursuant to Section 9.8 to resolve a Liability Claim consistent with this Section 8.3.
(k)    Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the parties shall treat any indemnification payments made hereunder as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for accounting and Tax purposes.
(l)    The Indemnitors shall not be liable under this Agreement in respect of:
(i)    Any individual Liability Claim (or a series of Liability Claims arising from substantially identical facts or circumstances) where the liability agreed or determined in respect of any such claim or series of claims does not exceed $10,000 dollars (and any such Loss or liability shall be disregarded in determining whether the Indemnification Threshold has been exceeded);
(ii)    Any Liability Claim unless notice in writing, accompanied by reasonable particulars thereof specifying the nature of the Liability Claim and, as far as practicable, the amount of the Liability Claim, has been given to the Representative without delay and at the latest within sixty (60) days from the date when the Purchaser became aware of the circumstances giving rise to the Liability Claim;
(iii)    A liability which is contingent, unless and until such contingent liability becomes an actual liability and is due and payable, provided that the foregoing shall in no way restrict or prevent the Purchaser from making a Liability Claim with respect to a contingent liability in the amount of any potential Loss associated with a contingent liability; and
(iv)    Any Loss to the extent that the Company has established a reserve for such Loss or the subject matter giving rise thereto in the Company Balance Sheet.
(m)    Payments by an Indemnitor pursuant this Article 8 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom (i) any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by Purchaser in respect of any such claim and (ii) Tax Benefits actually realized by Purchaser resulting from the accrual or payment of any such Losses, which Tax Benefits are actually realized prior to the date such indemnity payment is made. The parties shall cooperate and provide all information reasonably requested by the other party in connection with the calculation of Tax Benefits for purposes of this paragraph.

Section 8.5    Objections to and Payment of Claims.

46




Shareholder Claim, the applicable Indemnitor may bring an Action to resolve the Liability Claim.

(h)    In the event the party from whom indemnification is sought does not elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim in the manner and within such thirty (30) day response period, the Claiming Party may conduct the defense of such claim at the expense of the Claiming Party; provided, however, that if it is ultimately determined that the Claiming Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, such expenses shall be included in the calculation of Losses that the Claiming Party is entitled to recover pursuant to the terms hereof. The party from whom indemnification is sought may also participate in the defense of such claim at its sole cost and expense. The Claiming Party shall have the right to settle or resolve any such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that any such settlement or resolution (other than a settlement or resolution of a Third Party Claim relating or attributable to Taxes or Tax Returns which shall be subject to the settlement approval rights contained in the proviso at the end of this sentence) shall not be concluded without the prior written approval of each of the other parties hereto if such settlement results in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, such party (x) being required to pay any monetary penalty, or (y) becoming subject to any Order, inunction or any other similar equitable remedy; provided, further, that in connection with any Third Party Claim relating or attributable to Taxes or Tax Returns, such settlement or resolution shall not be concluded without
