          (a) Subject to Section 1.3(b), Novo Nordisk and Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals, Inc. hereby agree that prior to the earlier of (i) First Marketing (as such term is defined under the Amended and Restated License Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and between Aradigm and Novo Nordisk Delivery Technologies, Inc.

In addition, Novo Nordisk and Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals may (i) no later than six (6) months after the completion of any transaction or series of related transactions in which holders of Common Stock other than Novo Nordisk and Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals, Inc. have transferred in excess of thirty percent (30%) of the outstanding Common Stock (all such shares of Common Stock that are so transferred being referred to as the “Transferred Shares”) to a third party, transfer up to the number of shares then held by Novo Nordisk and Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals, Inc. multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Transferred Shares and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock held by shareholders other than Novo Nordisk and Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and (ii) sell, offer to sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option for sale or purchase of, agree to sell or otherwise transfer and/or dispose of some or all of the Shares to employees of Novo Nordisk Delivery Technologies, Inc. pursuant to the arrangements contemplated in the offer letters delivered to the Development Program Employees (as such term is defined in the Restructuring Agreement) on or prior to the Closing Date, the option grants contemplated therein and delivery of Shares in connection with the exercise of any such options or pursuant to such other equity incentive plans or arrangements as may be approved by Aradigm, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Aradigm will lift the stop-transfer instructions with respect to any of the Shares transferred pursuant to arrangements set forth in (i) and (ii) above.

2.


 

     1.4 Public Offering Lock-Up. In addition, Novo Nordisk and Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals, Inc. hereby agree that during the time period recommended by a nationally-recognized underwriter not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of a registration statement of Aradigm filed under the 1933 Act, to the extent requested by such underwriter, neither Novo Nordisk nor Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals, Inc. shall sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Shares at any time during such period (except for any Shares included in such registration or any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Shares made to an Affiliate of Novo Nordisk that agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement); provided, that:
          (a) Such agreement shall be applicable only to registration statements of Aradigm which cover Common Stock (or other securities) to be sold on its behalf to the public;
          (b) Such agreement shall be applicable only if Novo Nordisk (together with its Affiliates) holds at least five percent (5%) of the Common Stock then outstanding; and
          (c) All officers and directors of Aradigm and any other stockholders owning at least five percent (5%) of the Common Stock then outstanding (excluding stockholders that acquired their positions in the public market) enter into similar agreements.
During the period in which this Section 1.4 remains in effect, if Novo Nordisk and Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals, Inc. are requested to enter into such a lock-up agreement in connection with a public offering of Common Stock in which any other shareholders of Aradigm are allowed to sell shares held by them, Novo Nordisk and Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals, Inc. shall have a “piggyback” right at their option to include shares of Common Stock then held by them in such offering on a pro rata basis with such other selling shareholders.
     1.5 Demand Registration. If at any time after the Market Stand-Off Period Novo Nordisk and Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals, Inc. desire to effect the registration on Form S-3 or other applicable form under the 1933 Act of any of the Shares owned by them or any of their Affiliates (“Registrable Shares”), they may make one (1) written request (the “Demand Request”) that Aradigm effect such registration; provided that such request is made no earlier than (i) sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Market Stand-Off Period or (ii) sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of any “lock-up” period required of Novo Nordisk and Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals, Inc. by the underwriters in connection with a public offering by Aradigm. The Demand Request will specify the number of Registrable Shares proposed to be sold and will also specify the intended method of disposition thereof. Upon receipt of such Demand Request, Aradigm shall, at its own expense (which expense shall include all fees and expenses of counsel, public accountants or other advisors or experts retained by Aradigm, all reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Novo Nordisk, Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and their Affiliates (which counsel shall be selected by Novo Nordisk and Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) in an amount which shall not exceed fifty thousand dollars ($50,000), all filing fees, all fees and expenses incurred to comply with blue sky or other securities laws, all printing expenses and all internal expenses of Aradigm, but shall not include underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of the Registrable Shares, out-of-pocket expenses of Novo Nordisk, Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals, Inc. or any of their Affiliates, transfer taxes or the fees and expenses of underwriter’s counsel) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 or

3.


 

other applicable form (the “Resale Registration Statement”) under the 1933 Act to provide for the resale by Novo Nordisk, Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and their Affiliates of the number of Registrable Shares specified in the Demand Request. In the event Novo Nordisk and Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals, Inc. deliver to Aradigm a Demand Request prior to the end of a Market Stand-Off Period or a “lock-up” period, Aradigm shall use its reasonable efforts to file and cause the Resale Registration Statement to be effective prior to the expiration of such Market Stand-Off Period or “lock-up” period, as the case may be. In all other cases, Aradigm will use its reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to be filed and become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of the Demand Request. Aradigm shall cause the Resale Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 1.4 to remain effective for no less than six (6) months (or, if earlier, until the date all of the Registrable Shares covered by the Resale Registration Statement have been sold); provided, however, Aradigm may suspend the use of, or delay the effective date of, any Resale Registration Statement by giving written notice to the sellers identified therein, if Aradigm shall have determined, in its good faith reasonable judgment, that such suspension or delay in the effective date of the Resale Registration Statement is advisable because the filing or effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement would be detrimental to Aradigm and its shareholders; and provided further that Aradigm suspends the use of or delays the effective date of all other registration statements of Aradigm that register the securities of Aradigm being or to be resold by the holders thereof. Any suspension or delay in the effective date of the Resale Registration Statement by Aradigm pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall be for the shortest reasonable period of time (but shall not exceed one hundred twenty (120) days).

               (ii) within ten (10) days of receipt, any notice or other communication from any lender, bank or other person to whom Aradigm is indebted, alleging the existence of any facts or circumstances that, individually or in the aggregate, constitute or with the passing of time would constitute, a default under, or give rise to any termination, cancellation or acceleration of any right or obligation of Aradigm or to a loss of any benefit to which Aradigm is entitled under any provision of any note, loan, credit or similar instrument or agreement; and
               (iii) no later than April 30, July 31, October 31, and January 31 of each calendar year in which Novo Nordisk is required to report its share of Aradigm’s earnings or loss from its investment in Aradigm under the equity method of accounting, a condensed forecasted statement of income representing one (1) quarterly forecast for a three (3) month period only once every three (3) months.
