SECTION 2. THE LOAN

2.1 Term Loan.

(a) Advance. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender will make, and Borrower agrees to draw, a Term Loan Advance in the Maximum Term Loan Amount on the Closing Date.

(b) Advance Request. To obtain a Term Loan Advance, Borrower shall complete, sign and deliver an Advance Request and the Term Notes to Lender. Lender shall fund the Term Loan Advance in the manner requested by the Advance Request provided that each of the conditions precedent to such Term Loan Advance is satisfied as of the requested Advance Date.

(c) Interest. The principal balance of the Term Loan Advance shall bear interest thereon from such Advance Date, calculated as of such Advance Date, at the Term Loan Interest Rate based on a year consisting of 360 days, with interest computed daily based on the actual number of days elapsed. The Term Loan Interest Rate will float and change on the day the Prime Rate changes from time to time, as applicable.

(d) Payment. Borrower will pay interest on the Term Loan Advance on the first day of each month, beginning the month after the Advance Date. Borrower shall repay the aggregate Term Loan principal balance that is outstanding on the Term Loan Amortization Date in thirty (30) equal monthly installments of principal and interest commencing on the Term Loan Amortization Date and continuing on the first business day of each month thereafter through the Term Loan Maturity Date. The entire Term Loan principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date. Borrower shall make all payments under this Agreement without setoff, recoupment or deduction and regardless of any counterclaim or defense. Lender will initiate debit entries to the Borrower’s account as authorized on the ACH Authorization on each payment date of all periodic obligations payable to Lender under each Term Note or Term Advance.

2.2 Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Notes, or any other Loan Document, it is the parties’ intent not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (which under the laws of the State of California shall be deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial loans) (the “Maximum Rate”). If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that Borrower has actually paid to Lender an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Secured Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of principal outstanding on the Notes; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of Lender’s accrued interest, costs, expenses, professional fees and any other Secured Obligations; and third, after all Secured Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrower.

2.3 Default Interest. In the event any payment is not paid on the scheduled payment date, subject to applicable grace periods, an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the past due amount shall be payable on demand. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, all Secured Obligations, including principal, interest, compounded interest, and professional fees, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate set forth in Section 2.1(c) plus five percent (5%) per annum. In the event any interest is not paid when due hereunder, delinquent interest shall be added to principal and shall bear interest on interest, compounded at the rate set forth in Section 2.1(c) or Section 2.3, as applicable.

2.4 Prepayment. At its option upon at least 7 days prior notice to Lender, Borrower may prepay all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Advances by paying the entire principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest, together with a prepayment charge equal to the following percentage of the principal Advance amount being prepaid: if such Advance amounts are prepaid in any of the (i) first twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, 4%; (ii) after twelve (12) months but prior to twenty four (24) months, 3%; (iii) after twenty four (24) months but prior to thirty six (36) months, 2%; and thereafter, 1% (each, a “Prepayment Charge”). Borrower agrees that the Prepayment Charge is a reasonable calculation of Lender’s lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early repayment of the Advances. The outstanding amount of all principal and accrued interest and unpaid interest will become immediately due and payable without premium or penalty at Lender’s option upon a Change in Control.

2.5 End of Term Charge. On the earliest to occur of (i) the Term Loan Maturity Date, (ii) the date that Borrower prepays all of the outstanding Secured Obligations, or (iii) the date that the Secured Obligations become due and payable, Borrower shall pay Lender a charge equal to $1,237,500. Notwithstanding the required payment date of such charge, it shall be deemed earned by Lender as of the Closing Date.

2.6 Prior Agreement End of Term Charge. Lender Affiliate hereby assigns to Lender the right to receive the $1,249,500 end of term charge which is due and payable under the Prior Agreement on the Closing Date. Lender has agreed to defer such charge until, and Borrower agrees to pay Lender such charge on or before, May 1, 2012 as evidenced by the Deferred Charge Notes. Notwithstanding the required payment date of such charge, it shall be deemed earned by Lender as of the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the Prior Agreement.

2.7 Termination of Prior Agreement. By countersigning below, Lender Affiliate hereby acknowledges and agrees that all obligations under the Prior Agreement to the Lender Affiliate (including, without limitation, all principal, interest, prepayment amounts, expenses and, to the extent provided in Section 2.6, end of term charges) have been paid in full, the documentation relating to such obligations and Prior Agreement are terminated (other than any obligations which by their terms survive such termination) and all Liens granted in favor or for the benefit of the Lender Affiliate are released.

SECTION 3. SECURITY INTEREST

3.1 As security for the prompt, complete payment when due (whether on the payment dates or otherwise) of all the Secured Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all of Borrower’s personal property now owned or hereafter acquired, including the following (collectively, the “Collateral”): (a) Receivables; (b) Equipment; (c) Fixtures; (d) General Intangibles (other than Intellectual Property); (e) Inventory; (f) Investment Property; (g) Deposit Accounts; (h) Cash; (i) Goods and other tangible and intangible personal property of Borrower whether now or hereafter owned or existing, leased, consigned by or to, or acquired by, Borrower and wherever located; and (j) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds of each of the foregoing and all accessions to, substitutions and replacements for, and rents, profits and products of each of the foregoing; provided, however, that the Collateral shall (i) include all Accounts and General Intangibles that consist of rights to payment and proceeds from the sale, licensing or disposition of all or any part, or rights in, the Intellectual Property (the “Rights to Payment”) and (ii) not include (A) more than 65% of the issued and outstanding voting capital stock of any Subsidiary that is incorporated or organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States or any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia if to do so could reasonably be expected to cause Borrower adverse tax consequences under Internal Revenue Code Section 956 (or any successor statute); (B) Intellectual Property (other than Rights to Payment); (C) any Equipment or Proceeds thereof that is subject to a Lien that is otherwise permitted by clause (vii) of the definition of “Permitted Lien” hereunder if inclusion of such Equipment would constitute a breach by Borrower of its agreement with a third party equipment lessor or lender, provided, that upon the release of any such Lien such Equipment shall be deemed to be Collateral hereunder and shall be subject to the security interest granted herein; (D) cash held in money market account no. 1892029636 at Comerica Bank in an amount not to exceed $607,392 plus accrued interest to secure certain letters of credit (the “Comerica Letters of Credit”) and (E) cash or cash equivalents subject to the Lien permitted by the parenthetical of clause (vii) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a judicial authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) holds that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property is necessary to have a security interest in the Rights to Payment, and the existence of such security interest would not otherwise violate or breach any provision in any applicable agreement or contract that is enforceable under the UCC with respect to the applicable Intellectual Property, then the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of the Closing Date, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Rights to Payment. Lender hereby agrees to provide Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, with any release, partial termination or other documents reasonably requested by Borrower to reflect or confirm that the Collateral does not include any property excluded from the definition thereof.

SECTION 4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO LOAN

The obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are subject to the satisfaction by Borrower of the following conditions:

(f) such other documents as Lender may reasonably request.

4.2 Further Conditions. On the Advance Date:

4.3 No Default. As of the Closing Date no fact or condition exists that would (or would, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both) constitute an Event of Default.

SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BORROWER

Borrower represents and warrants that:

5.1 Corporate Status. Borrower is a corporation duly organized, legally existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its business or location of its properties require such qualifications and where the failure to be qualified would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower’s present name, former names (if any), locations, place of formation, tax identification number, organizational identification number and other information are correctly set forth in Exhibit C.

5.2 Collateral. Borrower owns the Collateral and the Intellectual Property, free of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens and JV Restrictions. Borrower has the power and authority to grant to Lender a Lien in the Collateral as security for the Secured Obligations.

5.3 Consents. Borrower’s execution, delivery and performance of the Notes, this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, and Borrower’s execution of the New Warrants, (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of Borrower, (ii) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon the Collateral, other than Permitted Liens and the Liens created by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iii) do not violate any provisions of Borrower’s Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws, or any material law, regulation, order, injunction, judgment, decree or writ to which Borrower is subject and (iv) do not violate any material contract or agreement or require the consent or approval of any other Person that has not been obtained. The individual or individuals executing the Loan Documents and the New Warrants are duly authorized to do so.

5.4 Material Adverse Effect. No event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect has occurred and is continuing. Borrower is not aware of any event likely to occur that is reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

5.5 Actions Before Governmental Authorities. Except as described on Schedule 5.5, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any governmental authority now pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened in writing against or affecting Borrower or its property (i) which involve any Loan Document or (ii) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and which, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

5.6 Laws. Borrower is not in violation of any law, rule or regulation, or in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any governmental authority, where such violation or default is reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is not in default in any manner under any provision of any agreement or instrument evidencing indebtedness, or any other material agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound and for which such default would reasonably be expected to result in an Material Adverse Effect.

5.7 Information Correct and Current. No information, report, Advance Request, financial statement, exhibit or schedule furnished, by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender in connection with any Loan Document or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto contained, contains or will contain any material misstatement of fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were, are or will be made, not misleading in any material respect at the time such statement was made or deemed made. Additionally, any and all financial or business projections provided by Borrower to Lender shall be provided in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

5.8 Tax Matters. (a) Borrower has filed all federal, state and local tax returns that it is required to file, (b) Borrower has duly paid or fully reserved in accordance with GAAP for all taxes or installments thereof (including any interest or penalties) as and when due, which have or may become due pursuant to such returns, and (c) Borrower has paid or fully reserved in accordance with GAAP for any tax assessment received by Borrower for the three (3) years preceding the Closing Date, if any (including any taxes being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings).

5.9 Intellectual Property Claims. Borrower is the sole owner of, or otherwise has the right to use, the Intellectual Property. Except as described on Schedule 5.9, to the Borrower’s knowledge, (i) each of the material Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents is valid and enforceable, (ii) no part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and (iii) no claim has been made to Borrower that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party, except to the extent that any of the foregoing would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. Exhibit D is a true, correct and complete list of each of Borrower’s Patents, registered Trademarks, registered Copyrights, and material agreements under which Borrower licenses Intellectual Property from third parties (other than shrink-wrap software licenses and other licenses which if terminated could not reasonably be expected to result a Material Adverse Effect), together with application or registration numbers, as applicable, owned by Borrower or any Subsidiary, in each case as of the Closing Date and each other date required by Section 7.15. Borrower is not in material breach of, nor has Borrower failed to perform any material obligations under, any of the foregoing contracts, licenses or agreements and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no third party to any such contract, license or agreement is in material breach thereof or has failed to perform any material obligations thereunder.

5.10 Intellectual Property. Except as described on Schedule 5.10, Borrower has, or in the case of any proposed business, will have, all rights with respect to Intellectual Property necessary in the operation or conduct of Borrower’s business as currently conducted and proposed to be conducted by Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and in the case of Licenses, except for restrictions that are unenforceable under Division 9 of the UCC, Borrower has the right, to the extent required to operate Borrower’s business, to freely transfer, license or assign all material Intellectual Property without condition, restriction or payment of any kind (other than license payments in the Ordinary Course of Business and JV Restrictions) to any third party, and Borrower owns or has the right to use, pursuant to valid licenses, all software development tools, library functions, compilers and all other third-party software and other items that are material to the Borrower’s business and used in the design, development, promotion, sale, license, manufacture, import, export, use or distribution of Borrower Products.

5.11 Borrower Products. Except as described on Schedule 5.11, no Intellectual Property owned by Borrower or Borrower Product has been or is subject to any actual or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened litigation, proceeding (including any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any corresponding foreign office or agency) or outstanding decree, order, judgment, settlement agreement or stipulation that restricts in any manner Borrower’s use, transfer or licensing thereof or that may affect the validity, use or enforceability thereof except to the extent any of the foregoing would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. There is no decree, order, judgment, agreement, stipulation, arbitral award or other provision entered into in connection with any litigation or proceeding that obligates Borrower to grant licenses or ownership interest in any future Intellectual Property related to the operation or conduct of the business of Borrower or Borrower Products. Borrower has not received any written notice or claim, or, to the knowledge of Borrower, oral notice or claim, challenging or questioning Borrower’s ownership in any Intellectual Property (or written notice of any claim challenging or questioning the ownership in any licensed Intellectual Property of the owner thereof) or suggesting that any third party has any claim of legal or beneficial ownership with respect thereto nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, is there a reasonable basis for any such claim except to the extent any of the foregoing would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of Borrower, neither Borrower’s use of its Intellectual Property nor the production and sale of Borrower Products infringes the Intellectual Property or other rights of others in a manner as to be reasonably expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

5.12 Financial Accounts. Exhibit E, as may be updated by the Borrower in a written notice provided to Lender after the Closing Date, is a true, correct and complete list of (a) all banks and other financial institutions at which Borrower or any Subsidiary maintains Deposit Accounts and (b) all institutions at which Borrower or any Subsidiary maintains an account holding Investment Property, and such exhibit correctly identifies the name, address and telephone number of each bank or other institution, the name in which the account is held, a description of the purpose of the account, and the complete account number therefor.

5.13 Employee Loans. Except as permitted by Section 7.8, Borrower has no outstanding loans to any employee, officer or director of the Borrower nor has Borrower guaranteed the payment of any loan made to an employee, officer or director of the Borrower by a third party.

5.14 Subsidiaries. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities of any Person, except for Permitted Investments and each Subsidiary listed on Schedule 1D attached hereto. Attached as Schedule 1D, as may be updated by Borrower in a written notice provided after the Closing Date, is a true, correct and complete list of each Subsidiary.

SECTION 6. INSURANCE; INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Coverage. So long as there are any Secured Obligations outstanding or Lender has any commitment to make Advances, Borrower shall cause to be carried and maintained commercial general liability insurance, on an occurrence form (other than product liability insurance which shall be on a claims-made basis) , against risks customarily insured against in Borrower’s line of business. Such risks shall include the risks of bodily injury, including death, property damage, personal injury, advertising injury, and contractual liability per the terms of the indemnification agreement found in Section 6.3. Borrower must maintain a minimum of $2,000,000 of commercial general liability insurance for each occurrence. Borrower has and agrees to maintain a minimum of $2,000,000 of directors and officers’ insurance for each occurrence and $5,000,000 in the aggregate. So long as there are any Secured Obligations outstanding, Borrower shall also cause to be carried and maintained insurance upon the Collateral to the extent a specific type of Collateral is customarily insured against in Borrower’s business and industry, insuring against all risks of physical loss or damage howsoever caused, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of such Collateral, provided that such insurance may be subject to standard exceptions and deductibles. Borrower shall also carry and maintain a fidelity insurance policy in an amount not less than $300,000.

6.2 Certificates. Borrower shall deliver to Lender certificates of insurance that evidence Borrower’s compliance with its insurance obligations in Section 6.1 and the obligations contained in this Section 6.2. Borrower’s insurance certificate shall state Lender is an additional insured for commercial general liability, an additional insured and a loss payee for all risk property damage insurance, subject to the insurer’s approval, a loss payee for fidelity insurance, and a loss payee for property insurance and additional insured for liability insurance for any future insurance that Borrower may acquire from such insurer. Attached to the certificates of insurance will be additional insured endorsements for liability and lender’s loss payable endorsements for all risk property damage insurance and fidelity. All certificates of insurance will provide for a minimum of thirty (30) days advance written notice to Lender of cancellation or any other change adverse to Lender’s interests, except with respect to cancellation due to non-payment in which case ten (10) days advance written notice is sufficient. Any failure of Lender to scrutinize such insurance certificates for compliance is not a waiver of any of Lender’s rights, all of which are reserved.

6.3 Indemnity. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender and its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives and shareholders harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities (including such claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities based on liability in tort, including strict liability in tort), including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other reasonable costs of investigation or defense (including those incurred upon any appeal), that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by Lender or any such Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or the administration of such credit, or in connection with or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, or any actions or failures to act in connection therewith, or arising out of the disposition or utilization of the Collateral, excluding in all cases claims resulting solely from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Borrower agrees to pay, and to save Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all excise, sales or other similar taxes (excluding taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of Lender) that may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or this Agreement; provided, however, that, (i) with respect to such liabilities imposed originally and independently on Lender, Lender shall notify Borrower of any such liabilities within 180 days of the initial date Lender has actual knowledge, or should have had knowledge, of its direct exposure to such liabilities and, (ii) with respect to all other such liabilities not described in subsection (i), Lender shall notify Borrower of any such liabilities within 180 days of the initial date Lender has actual knowledge of its direct exposure to such liabilities.

SECTION 7. COVENANTS OF BORROWER

The executed Compliance Certificate may be sent via facsimile to Lender at (650) ###-###-#### or via e-mail to ***@***. Documents required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 7.1 (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which Borrower posts such documents, or provides a link thereto on Borrower’s website at the Borrower’s website address of www.aveopharma.com (or such other website address as Borrower may provide to Lender in writing from time to time); provided, that: (x) to the extent Lender is otherwise unable to receive any such electronically delivered documents, Borrower shall, upon request by Lender, deliver paper copies of such documents to Borrower until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by Borrower and (y) Borrower shall notify Lender by electronic mail of the posting of any such documents

or provide to Lender by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents, in each case, to ***@*** with a copy to ***@***.

7.2 Management Rights. Borrower shall permit any representative that Lender authorizes, including its attorneys and accountants, to inspect the Collateral and examine and make copies and abstracts of the books of account and records of Borrower at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice during normal business hours (but in any event no more than twice in any 12 month period unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). In addition, any such representative shall have the right to meet with management and officers of Borrower to discuss such books of account and records. In addition, Lender shall be entitled at reasonable times and intervals to consult with and advise the management and officers of Borrower concerning significant business issues affecting Borrower. Such consultations shall not unreasonably interfere with Borrower’s business operations. The parties intend that the rights granted Lender shall constitute “management rights” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R Section 2510.3-101(d)(3)(ii), but that any advice, recommendations or participation by Lender with respect to any business issues shall not be deemed to give Lender, nor be deemed an exercise by Lender of, control over Borrower’s management or policies.

7.3 Further Assurances. Borrower shall from time to time execute, deliver and file, alone or with Lender, any financing statements, security agreements, collateral assignments, notices, control agreements, or other documents necessary to perfect or give the highest priority to Lender’s Lien on the Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens). Borrower shall from time to time procure any instruments or documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender, and take all further action that may be necessary or that Lender may reasonably request, to perfect and protect the Liens granted hereby and thereby. In addition, and for such purposes only, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to execute and deliver on behalf of Borrower and to file such financing statements, collateral assignments, notices, control agreements, security agreements and other documents without the signature of Borrower either in Lender’s name or in the name of Lender as agent and attorney-in-fact for Borrower. Borrower shall, in its reasonable business judgment, protect and defend Borrower’s title to the Collateral and Lender’s Lien thereon against all Persons claiming any interest adverse to Borrower or Lender other than Permitted Liens.

7.4 Compromise of Agreements. Without Lender’s prior written consent, Borrower shall not, nor shall it allow any of its Subsidiaries to, (a) grant any material extension of the time of payment of any of the Account receivable or General Intangibles other than extensions in the Ordinary Course of Business which are consistent with past practices, (b) to any material extent, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof other than in the Ordinary Course of Business and consistent with past practices, (c) release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the payment thereof other than in the Ordinary Course of Business and consistent with past practices, or (d) allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon other than trade discounts granted by Borrower or such Subsidiary in the exercise of the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s reasonable business judgment.

7.5 Indebtedness. Borrower shall not create, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable with respect to any Indebtedness, or permit any Subsidiary so to do, other than Permitted Indebtedness, or prepay any Indebtedness or take any actions which impose on Borrower an obligation to prepay any Indebtedness, except Indebtedness to Lender in accordance herewith or for the conversion of Indebtedness into equity securities and the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares in connection with such conversion.

7.6 Collateral. Borrower shall at all times keep the Collateral, all Intellectual Property and all other property and assets used in Borrower’s business or in which Borrower now or hereafter holds any interest free and clear from any legal process or Liens whatsoever (except for Permitted Liens), and shall give Lender prompt written notice of any legal process affecting the Collateral, such Intellectual Property, such other property and assets, or any Liens thereon. Borrower shall cause its Subsidiaries to protect and defend such Subsidiary’s title to its assets from and against all Persons claiming any interest adverse to such Subsidiary, and Borrower shall cause its Subsidiaries at all times to keep such Subsidiary’s property and assets free and clear from any legal process or Liens whatsoever (except for Permitted Liens), and shall give Lender prompt written notice of any legal process affecting such Subsidiary’s assets. Borrower shall not permit the inclusion in any contract to which it or a Subsidiary becomes a party of any provisions that restrict or invalidate the granting of a security interest in any of Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s property and assets other than with respect to contractual restrictions on Intellectual Property entered into with third party strategic collaborators that are not financial institutions in the Ordinary Course of Business (“JV Restrictions”).

7.7 Investments. Borrower shall not directly or indirectly acquire or own, or make any Investment in or to any Person, or permit any of its Subsidiaries so to do, other than Permitted Investments.

7.8 Distributions. Without the prior written consent of the Lender, Borrower shall not, and shall not allow any Subsidiary to, (a) repurchase or redeem any class of stock or other equity interest other than pursuant to employee, director or consultant repurchase plans or other similar agreements, provided, however, in each case the repurchase or redemption price does not exceed the original consideration paid for such stock or equity interest by more than $250,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year, or (b) declare or pay any cash dividend or make a cash distribution on any class of stock or other equity interest, except that a Subsidiary may pay dividends or make distributions to Borrower (or to any other Subsidiary of Borrower), or (c) lend money to any employees, officers or directors or guarantee the payment of any such loans granted by a third party in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year or (d) waive, release or forgive any indebtedness owed by any employees, officers or directors in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate.

7.9 Transfers. Except for Permitted Transfers, Borrower shall not voluntarily or involuntarily transfer, sell, lease, license, lend or in any other manner convey any equitable, beneficial or legal interest in any material portion of its assets.

7.10 Mergers or Acquisitions. Without Lender’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, Borrower shall not merge or consolidate, or permit any of its

Subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, with or into any other business organization (other than mergers or consolidations of a Subsidiary into another Subsidiary or into Borrower), or acquire, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to acquire, all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of another Person; provided, that Borrower may make (i) acquisitions utilizing cash as consideration that constitute Permitted Investments and (ii) acquisitions utilizing Borrower’s stock as consideration that do not result in a Change of Control.

7.11 Taxes. Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall pay when due all material taxes, fees or other charges of any nature whatsoever (together with any related interest or penalties) now or hereafter imposed or assessed against Borrower, Lender or the Collateral or upon Borrower’s ownership, possession, use, operation or disposition thereof or upon Borrower’s rents, receipts or earnings arising therefrom. Borrower shall file on or before the due date therefor all material personal property tax returns in respect of the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 7.11, Borrower may contest, in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, taxes for which Borrower maintains adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP.

7.12 Corporate Changes. Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall change its corporate name, legal form or jurisdiction of formation without twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to Lender. Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall relocate its chief executive office or its principal place of business unless: (i) it has provided prior written notice to Lender; and (ii) such relocation shall be within the continental United States. Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall relocate any item of Collateral (other than (v) relocations of clinical trial supplies in the Ordinary Course Business, (w) Permitted Transfers, (x) sales of Inventory (whether as raw material, work in process, finished product or otherwise) in the Ordinary Course of Business, (y) relocations of Equipment having an aggregate value of up to $500,000 in any fiscal year, and (z) relocations of Collateral from a location described on Exhibit C to another location described on Exhibit C) unless (i) it has provided prompt written notice to Lender, (ii) such relocation is within the continental United States and, (iii) if such relocation is to a third party bailee, it has used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a bailee agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, provided, that it shall deliver such a bailee agreement for any such relocation of assets in excess of $1,000,000.

7.13 Deposit Accounts. The Borrower shall not maintain any Deposit Accounts, or accounts holding Investment Property, except (i) with respect to which Lender has an Account Control Agreement, or (ii) with respect to money market account no. 1892029636 at Comerica Bank.

7.14 Subsidiaries. Borrower shall notify Lender of each Subsidiary formed subsequent to the Closing Date and, within 15 days of formation, shall cause any such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to Lender a Joinder Agreement unless to do so could be expected to cause Borrower adverse tax consequences under Internal Revenue Code Section 956 (or any successor statute).

7.15 Intellectual Property. Borrower shall update the Intellectual Property information listed on Exhibit D within 30 days of each quarter end.

7.16 GECC Indebtedness.

7.17 SBIC. Lender has received a license from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to extend loans as a small business investment company (“SBIC”) pursuant to the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended, and the associated regulations (collectively, the “SBIC Act”). Portions of the Loan to Borrower will be made under the SBA license and the SBIC Act. Addendum 1 to this Agreement outlines various responsibilities of Lender and Borrower associated with an SBA loan, and such Addendum 1 is hereby incorporated in this Agreement.

7.18 New Warrants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall issue (i) the New Warrants and (ii) a legal opinion, in the form agreed to as of the Closing Date, with respect to the New Warrants, in each case, to Lender on June 2, 2010. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that failure to issue the New Warrants and such opinion to Lender on June 2, 2010 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under Section 9 hereof.

SECTION 8. RIGHT TO INVEST/CONVERT

8.1 Rights.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including, without limitation, Section 11.13 hereof, Lender shall have the right, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and subject to Borrower’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld to (a) convert outstanding principal of the Term Loan into the same equity securities sold in any and all Subsequent Financings and/or (b) purchase the same equity securities sold in any and all Subsequent Financings for cash, in case of clauses (a) and (b) in the aggregate amount of up to $2,000,000, in each case, on the same terms, conditions and pricing afforded by Borrower to other investors participating in the applicable Subsequent Financing at a closing to occur concurrently with the closing of such Subsequent Financing, provided, however that the obligation of the Borrower to issue and sell to the Lender any securities pursuant to this Section 8.1 is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Borrower and the Lender of a purchase agreement containing the same terms and conditions set forth in the agreement between the Borrower and other investors participating in the applicable Subsequent Financing, if any, and other terms and conditions reasonable acceptable to the Borrower and the Lender, and the receipt of any required regulatory approval. For purposes of clarity, Borrower may withhold its consent (which shall be deemed reasonable for purposes hereof) in the event that effecting a conversion and/or an investment as contemplated by this Section 8.1 in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof would, in the good faith determination of the Borrower, (i) require the Borrower to obtain the approval of its stockholders pursuant to applicable securities exchange rules, (ii) result in a violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation or (iii) adversely affect such Subsequent Financing (including the marketing thereof) or any activity that the Borrower is engaged in or has plans to engage at such time.

8.2 Provisions Applicable to Rights.

(a) The Borrower shall provide to the Lender 10 days’ prior written notice (the “Notice”) of the consummation of each Subsequent Financing (including the number and type of securities to be offered, the price and other material terms and conditions, to the extent known, and the anticipated closing date thereof). The Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of (i) the determination of the price and other material terms and conditions upon which it proposes to offer such securities, to the extent not set forth in such Notice and (ii) any material change in any of the information set forth in such Notice or in the price or other terms previously communicated to such Lender.

(b) The Lender shall have until the later of: (i) 5 days following receipt of the Notice, (ii) the date one business day following the date on which the final price and material terms, to the extent not set forth in the Notice, are communicated to such Lender and (iii) the date one business day following the date on which any material change in any of the information set forth in the Notice or in the price or any other term of the applicable Subsequent Financing is communicated to such Lender (such period, the “Exercise Period”) to exercise its rights pursuant to Section 8.1 with respect to such Subsequent Financing by delivering written notice of exercise of such rights (and the terms of such exercise in accordance with the provisions hereof) to the Borrower within such Exercise Period. In the event that the Borrower does not receive such written notice from the Lender within such Exercise Period, the Lender’s rights under this Section 8 with respect to such Subsequent Financing shall terminate upon the expiration of such Exercise Period.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the applicable Subsequent Financing is a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the offering and any issuance and sale of securities to the Lender pursuant to this Section 8 shall be made by the Borrower in a concurrent private placement and not in such public offering (and as such, the securities offered and issued and sold to the Lender in the private placement shall constitute “restricted securities” for purposes of the Securities Act). In any such private placement: (i) the conversion price or purchase price per share to be paid by Lender, as applicable, in such private placement shall be equal to the initial offering price to the public in such public offering and (ii) the closing of the private placement shall occur concurrently with the closing of such Subsequent Financing.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have no obligations pursuant to this Section 8 at any, and during any period of, time when Lender is in default in any material respect of any of its obligations under an agreement between Borrower and Lender.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender shall not sell or assign any rights granted to it pursuant to this Section 8 without the prior written consent of the Borrower.

(f) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the requisite percentage of the parties to the Fourth Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement dated as of March 18, 2009 by and among Borrower and the other parties named therein as required to enable the Borrower and the Lender to execute and deliver a Registration Rights Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I, on or prior to the date that is 30 days following the date hereof.

(g) The rights granted to Lender under this Section 8 shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the date on which the Lender has converted outstanding principal of the Term Loan into equity securities and/or has purchased equity securities for cash pursuant to Section 8.1, in the aggregate amount of $2,000,000, or (ii) the date on which the Secured Obligations are no longer outstanding.

SECTION 9. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

(iv) shall file any petition, answer, or document seeking for itself any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation pertinent to such circumstances; or (v) shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, or liquidator of Borrower or of all or any substantial part (i.e., 33-¹/3% or more) of the assets or property of Borrower; or (vi) shall cease operations of its business as its business has normally been conducted for a period of more than five consecutive business days, or terminate substantially all of its employees; or (vii) becomes insolvent; or (viii) Borrower or its directors or majority shareholders shall take any action initiating any of the foregoing actions described in clauses (i) through (vii); or (B) either (i) sixty (60) days shall have expired after the commencement of an involuntary action against Borrower seeking reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, without such action being dismissed or all orders or proceedings thereunder affecting the operations or the business of Borrower being stayed; or (ii) a stay of any such order or proceedings shall thereafter be set aside and the action setting it aside shall not be timely appealed; or (iii) Borrower shall file any answer admitting or not contesting the material allegations of a petition filed against Borrower in any such proceedings; or (iv) the court in which such proceedings are pending shall enter a decree or order granting the relief sought in any such proceedings; or (v) sixty (60) days shall have expired after the appointment, without the consent or acquiescence of Borrower, of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Borrower or of all or any substantial part of the properties of Borrower without such appointment being vacated; or

The occurrence of any default under (a) any agreement or obligation of Borrower involving any Indebtedness in excess of $500,000, or (b) the occurrence of any default under any agreement or obligation of Borrower that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 10. REMEDIES

10.1 General. Upon and during the continuance of any one or more Events of Default, (i) Lender may, at its option, accelerate and demand payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations together with a Prepayment Charge and declare them to be immediately due and payable (provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 9.6, the Notes and all of the Secured Obligations shall automatically be accelerated and made due and payable, in each case without any further notice or act), and (ii) Lender may notify any of Borrower’s account debtors to make

payment directly to Lender, compromise the amount of any such account on Borrower’s behalf and endorse Lender’s name without recourse on any such payment for deposit directly to Lender’s account. Lender may exercise all rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents or otherwise available to it under the UCC and other applicable law, including the right to release, hold, sell, lease, liquidate, collect, realize upon, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral and the right to occupy, utilize, process and commingle the Collateral. All Lender’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive.

10.2 Collection; Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, at any time or from time to time, apply, collect, liquidate, sell in one or more sales, lease or otherwise dispose of, any or all of the Collateral, in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, in such order as Lender may elect. Any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or elsewhere. Borrower agrees that any such public or private sale may occur upon ten (10) calendar days’ prior written notice to Borrower. Lender may require Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place designated by Lender that is reasonably convenient to Lender and Borrower. The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by Lender in the following order of priorities:

First, to Lender in an amount sufficient to pay in full Lender’s costs and professionals’ and advisors’ fees and expenses as described in Section 11.11;

Second, to Lender in an amount equal to the then unpaid amount of the Secured Obligations (including principal, interest, and the Default Rate interest), in such order and priority as Lender may choose in its sole discretion; and

Finally, after the full and final payment in Cash of all of the Secured Obligations, to any creditor holding a junior Lien on the Collateral, or to Borrower or its representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Lender shall be deemed to have acted reasonably in the custody, preservation and disposition of any of the Collateral if it complies with the obligations of a secured party under the UCC.

10.3 No Waiver. Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral for the benefit of Borrower or any other Person, and Borrower expressly waives all rights, if any, to require Lender to marshal any Collateral.

10.4 Cumulative Remedies. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender hereunder shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given by statute or rule of law and are cumulative. The exercise of any one or more of the rights, powers and remedies provided herein shall not be construed as a waiver of or election of remedies with respect to any other rights, powers and remedies of Lender.

SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent and duration of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

11.2 Notice. Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration, service of process or other communication (including the delivery of Financial Statements) that is required, contemplated, or permitted under the Loan Documents or with respect to the subject matter hereof shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given, delivered, and received upon the earlier of: (i) the day of transmission by facsimile or hand delivery or delivery by an overnight express service or overnight mail delivery service; or (ii) the third calendar day after deposit in the United States mails, with proper first class postage prepaid, in each case addressed to the party to be notified as follows:

11.3 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede and replace in their entirety any prior proposals, term sheets, letters, negotiations or other documents or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof or thereof (including Lender’s revised proposal letter dated May 7, 2010 and the Prior Agreement). None of the terms of this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents may be amended except by an instrument executed by each of the parties hereto.

11.4 No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

11.5 No Waiver. The powers conferred upon Lender by this Agreement are solely to protect its rights hereunder, except those rights granted to Lender pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, and under the other Loan Documents and its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers. No omission or delay by Lender at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved to it, or to require performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by Borrower at any time designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which Lender is entitled, nor shall it in any way affect the right of Lender to enforce such provisions thereafter.

11.6 Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall be for the benefit of Lender and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the expiration or other termination of this Agreement.

11.7 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on Borrower and its permitted assigns (if any). Borrower shall not assign its obligations under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents without Lender’s express prior written consent, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect. Except as set forth in Sections 8 and 11.13, Lender may assign, transfer, or endorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents without prior notice to Borrower, and all of such rights shall inure to the benefit of Lender’s successors and assigns.

11.8 Governing Law. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated and delivered to Lender in the State of California, and shall have been accepted by Lender in the State of California. Payment to Lender by Borrower of the Secured Obligations is due in the State of California. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.

11.9 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. All judicial proceedings (to the extent that the reference requirement of Section 11.10 is not applicable) arising in or under or related to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court located in the State of California. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to nonexclusive personal jurisdiction in Santa Clara County, State of California; (b) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in Santa Clara County, State of California; (c) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents. Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 11.2, and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth in Section 11.2. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

11.10 Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial / Judicial Reference.

(a) Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY BORROWER AGAINST LENDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE OR BY LENDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE AGAINST BORROWER. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than Borrower and Lender; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship between Borrower and Lender; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, tort, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document.

(b) If the waiver of jury trial set forth in Section 11.10(a) is ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that all Claims shall be resolved by reference to a private judge sitting without a jury, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, before a mutually acceptable referee or, if the parties cannot agree, a referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California. Such proceeding shall be conducted in Santa Clara County, California, with California rules of evidence and discovery applicable to such proceeding.

(c) In the event Claims are to be resolved by judicial reference, either party may seek from a court identified in Section 11.9, any prejudgment order, writ or other

relief and have such prejudgment order, writ or other relief enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that all Claims are otherwise subject to resolution by judicial reference.

11.11 Professional Fees. Borrower promises to pay Lender’s reasonable fees and expenses necessary to finalize the loan documentation, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys fees, UCC searches, filing costs, and other reasonable miscellaneous expenses. In addition, Borrower promises to pay any and all reasonable attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses incurred by Lender after the Closing Date in connection with or related to: (a) the Loan; (b) the administration, collection, or enforcement of the Loan; (c) the amendment or modification of the Loan Documents; (d) any waiver, consent, release, or termination under the Loan Documents; (e) the protection, preservation, sale, lease, liquidation, or disposition of Collateral or the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral; (f) any legal, litigation, administrative, arbitration, or out of court proceeding in connection with or related to Borrower or the Collateral, and any appeal or review thereof; and (g) any bankruptcy, restructuring, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, workout, foreclosure, or other action related to Borrower, the Collateral, the Loan Documents, including representing Lender in any adversary proceeding or contested matter commenced or continued by or on behalf of Borrower’s estate, and any appeal or review thereof.

11.12 Confidentiality. Lender acknowledges that certain items of Collateral and information provided to Lender by Borrower (including, without limitation, under Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 8 of this Agreement) are confidential and proprietary information of Borrower (the “Confidential Information”) and agrees to exercise the same degree of care that Lender exercises with respect to its own proprietary information of the same types to maintain the confidentially of any such Confidential Information received in connection with this Agreement. Lender agrees that any Confidential Information it may obtain shall not be disclosed to any other person or entity in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Borrower, except that Lender may disclose any such information: (a) to its own directors, officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other professional advisors and to its affiliates if Lender in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information in connection with such party’s responsibilities in connection with the Loan or this Agreement and, provided that such recipient of such Confidential Information either (i) agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this paragraph or (ii) is otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions that reasonably protect against the disclosure of Confidential Information; (b) if such information is generally available to the public; (c) if required in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any governmental authority having jurisdiction over Lender; (d) if required in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, to the extent permitted or deemed advisable by Lender’s counsel; (e) to comply with any legal requirement or law applicable to Lender; (f) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, including Lender’s sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral after default; (g) to any participant or Assignee of Lender or any prospective participant or Assignee; provided, that such participant or Assignee or prospective participant or Assignee agrees in

writing to be bound by this Section prior to disclosure; or (h) otherwise with the prior consent of Borrower; provided, that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower or any of its affiliates or any guarantor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Lender hereby acknowledges that Borrower is a publicly traded company and the trading in securities of Borrower is subject to applicable securities legislation. Lender hereby further acknowledges that as a result of the disclosure that may be made to it of any Confidential Information, it may possess material, non-public information of Borrower. Accordingly, Lender hereby acknowledges that any trading by its employees, officers, agents or representatives in the securities of Borrower may entail the violation by Lender, its employees, officers, agents or representatives of applicable securities and other legislation and regulations.

11.13 Assignment of Rights. Borrower acknowledges and understands that Lender may sell and assign all or part of its interest hereunder and under the Note(s) and Loan Documents to any person or entity other than a person or entity reasonably deemed by Lender to be a direct competitor of Borrower (an “Assignee”); provided, that Lender shall not sell or assign any rights pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement without the consent of the Borrower. After such assignment the term “Lender” as used in the Loan Documents shall mean and include such Assignee, and such Assignee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of Lender hereunder with respect to the interest so assigned; but with respect to any such interest not so transferred, Lender shall retain all rights, powers and remedies hereby given. No such assignment by Lender shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder. Lender agrees that in the event of any transfer by it of the Note(s), it will endorse thereon a notation as to the portion of the principal of the Note(s), which shall have been paid at the time of such transfer and as to the date to which interest shall have been last paid thereon.

11.14 Revival of Secured Obligations. This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective if any petition is filed by or against Borrower for liquidation or reorganization, if Borrower becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part of Borrower’s assets, or if any payment or transfer of Collateral is recovered from Lender. The Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations and Collateral security shall continue to be effective, or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations or any transfer of Collateral to Lender, or any part thereof is rescinded, avoided or avoidable, reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by, or is recovered from, Lender or by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment, performance, or transfer of Collateral had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, avoided, avoidable, restored, returned, or recovered, the Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations shall be deemed, without any further action or documentation, to have been revived and reinstated except to the extent of the full, final, and indefeasible payment to Lender in Cash.

11.15 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

11.16 No Third Party Beneficiaries. No provisions of the Loan Documents are intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide or create any third-party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any person other than Lender and Borrower unless specifically provided otherwise herein, and, except as otherwise so provided, all provisions of the Loan Documents will be personal and solely between the Lender and the Borrower.

11.17 Publicity. To the extent Lender desires to use Borrower’s name and logo, including a brief description of the relationship between Borrower and Lender, in Lender’s marketing materials, Lender shall provide a copy of such materials to Borrower and shall seek consent from Borrower which may not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, for clarity, no consent will be required (either by Lender or Borrower) in connection with the filing of this Agreement (or any other related Loan Document) with the SEC or any similar or replacement governmental entity or other mandatory disclosures required by law.

11.18 Specific Performance. The parties hereto hereby declare that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to Lender by reason of Borrower’s failure to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement and agree that the terms of this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable by Lender. If Lender institutes any action or proceeding to specifically enforce the provisions hereof, any Person against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense therein that Lender has an adequate remedy at law, and such Person shall not offer in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such remedy at law exists.

ADDENDUM 1 to LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

(a) Borrower’s Business. For purposes of this Addendum 1, Borrower shall be deemed to include its “affiliates” as defined in Title 13 Code of Federal Regulations Section 121.103. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender (as of the Closing Date and for a period of one year thereafter) and covenants to Lender as follows:

Size Status. Borrower does not have in excess of 500 employees on the Closing Date;

No Relender. Borrower’s primary business activity does not involve, directly or indirectly, providing funds to others, purchasing debt obligations, factoring, or long-term leasing of equipment with no provision for maintenance or repair;

No Passive Business. Borrower is engaged in a regular and continuous business operation (excluding the mere receipt of payments such as dividends, rents, lease payments, or royalties). Borrower’s employees are carrying on the majority of day to day operations. Borrower will not pass through substantially all of the proceeds of the Loan to another entity;

No Real Estate Business. Borrower is not classified under Major Group 65 (Real Estate) or Industry No. 1531 (Operative Builders) of the SIC Manual. The proceeds of the Loan will not be used to acquire or refinance real property unless Borrower (x) is acquiring an existing property and will use at least 51 percent of the usable square footage for its business purposes; (y) is building or renovating a building and will use at least 67 percent of the usable square footage for its business purposes; or (z) occupies the subject property and uses at least 67 percent of the usable square footage for its business purposes.

No Project Finance. Borrower’s assets are not intended to be reduced or consumed, generally without replacement, as the life of its business progresses, and the nature of Borrower’s business does not require that a stream of cash payments be made to the business’s financing sources, on a basis associated with the continuing sale of assets (e.g., real estate development projects and

oil and gas wells). The primary purpose of the Loan is not to fund production of a single item or defined limited number of items, generally over a defined production period, where such production will constitute the majority of the activities of Borrower (e.g., motion pictures and electric generating plants).

No Farm Land Purchases. Borrower will not use the proceeds of the Loan to acquire farm land which is or is intended to be used for agricultural or forestry purposes, such as the production of food, fiber, or wood, or is so taxed or zoned.

No Foreign Investment. The proceeds of the Loan will not be used substantially for a foreign operation. At the time of the Loan, Borrower will not have more than 49 percent of its employees or tangible assets located outside the United States. The representation in this subsection (7) is made only as of the date hereof and shall not continue for one year as contemplated in the first sentence of this Section 1.

(b) Small Business Administration Documentation. Lender acknowledges that Borrower completed, executed and delivered to Lender SBA Forms 480, 652 and 1031 (Parts A and B) together with a business plan showing Borrower’s financial projections (including balance sheets and income and cash flows statements) for the period described therein and a written statement (whether included in the purchase agreement or pursuant to a separate statement) from Lender regarding its intended use of proceeds from the sale of securities to Lender (the “Use of Proceeds Statement”). Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that the information regarding Borrower and its affiliates set forth in the SBA Form 480, Form 652 and Form 1031 and the Use of Proceeds Statement delivered as of the Closing Date is accurate and complete.

(c) Inspection. The following covenants contained in this Section (c) are intended to supplement and not to restrict the related provisions of the Loan Documents. Subject to the preceding sentence, Borrower will permit, for so long as Lender holds any debt or equity securities of Borrower, Lender or its representative, at Lender’ expense, and examiners of the SBA to visit and inspect the properties and assets of Borrower, to examine its books of account and records, and to discuss Borrower’s affairs, finances and accounts with Borrower’s officers, senior management and accountants, all at such reasonable times as may be requested by Lender or the SBA.

(d) Annual Assessment. At the request of Lender, Borrower will deliver to Lender a written assessment of the economic impact of Lender’s investment in Borrower, specifying the full-time equivalent jobs created or retained in connection with the investment, the impact of the investment on the businesses of Borrower in terms of expanded revenue and taxes, other economic benefits resulting from the investment (such as technology development or commercialization, minority business development, or expansion of exports) and such other information as may be required regarding Borrower in connection with the filing of Lender’s SBA Form 468. Lender will assist Borrower

with preparing such assessment. In addition to any other rights granted hereunder, Borrower will grant Lender and the SBA access to Borrower’s books and records for the purpose of verifying the use of such proceeds. Borrower also will furnish or cause to be furnished to Lender such other information regarding the business, affairs and condition of Borrower as Lender may from time to time reasonably request.

(e) Use of Proceeds. Borrower will use the proceeds from the Loan only for general working capital purposes. Borrower will deliver to Lender from time to time promptly following Lender’s request, a written report, certified as correct by Borrower’s Chief Financial Officer, verifying the purposes and amounts for which proceeds from the Loan have been disbursed. Borrower will supply to Lender such additional information and documents as Lender reasonably requests with respect to its use of proceeds and will permit Lender and the SBA to have access to any and all Borrower records and information and personnel as Lender deems necessary to verify how such proceeds have been or are being used, and to assure that the proceeds have been used for the purposes specified in this Section 7.16.

(f) Activities and Proceeds. Neither Borrower nor any of its affiliates (if any) will engage in any activities or use directly or indirectly the proceeds from the Loan for any purpose for which a small business investment company is prohibited from providing funds by the SBIC Act under 13 C.F.R. §107.720. Without obtaining the prior written approval of Lender, Borrower will not change within 1 year of the date hereof, Borrower’s current business activity to a business activity which a licensee under the SBIC Act is prohibited from providing funds by the SBIC Act.

(g) Redemption Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Certificate of Incorporation of Borrower, as amended from time to time (the “Charter”), if, pursuant to the redemption provisions contained in the Charter, if any, Lender is entitled to a redemption of its Warrant, such redemption (in the case of Lender) will be at a price equal to the redemption price set forth in the Charter (the “Existing Redemption Price”). If, however, Lender delivers written notice to Borrower that the then current regulations promulgated under the SBIC Act prohibit payment of the Existing Redemption Price in the case of an SBIC (or, if applied, the Existing Redemption Price would cause the Common Stock to lose its classification as an “equity security” and Lender has determined that such classification is unadvisable), the amount Lender will be entitled to receive shall be the greater of (i) fair market value of the securities being redeemed taking into account the rights and preferences of such securities plus any costs and expenses of the Lender incurred in making or maintaining the Warrant, and (ii) the Existing Redemption Price where the amount of accrued but unpaid dividends payable to the Lender is limited to Borrower’s earnings plus any costs and expenses of the Lender incurred in making or maintaining the Warrant; provided, however, the amount calculated in subsections (i) or (ii) above shall not exceed the Existing Redemption Price.

(h) Cost of Money. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, all interest and fees charged pursuant to the Loan Documents

shall comply with the provisions of 13 C.F.R. § 107.855, including, without limitation, that such amounts shall not exceed the Cost of Money ceiling (as defined hereafter). The current Cost of Money ceiling for this Loan is fourteen and one half (14.5%) percent, not including the valuation of the warrants issued in connection herewith.

(i) Compliance and Resolution. Borrower agrees that a failure to comply with Borrower’s obligations under this Addendum, or any other set of facts or circumstances where it has been asserted by any governmental regulatory agency (or Lender believes that there is a substantial risk of such assertion) that Lender and its affiliates are not entitled to hold, or exercise any significant right with respect to, any securities issued to Lender by Borrower, will constitute a breach of the obligations of Borrower under the financing agreements between Borrower and Lender. In the event of (A) a failure to comply with Borrower’s obligations under this Addendum; or (B) an assertion by any governmental regulatory agency (or Lender believes that there is a substantial risk of such assertion) of a failure to comply with Borrower’s obligations under this Addendum, then (i) Lender and Borrower will meet and resolve any such issue in good faith to the satisfaction of Borrower, Lender, and any governmental regulatory agency, and, (ii) upon request of Lender, Borrower will cooperate and assist with any assignment of the financing agreements from Hercules Technology II, L.P. and Hercules Technology III, L.P. to Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. (the “Assignment Remedy”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pending the completion of such resolution meeting, no default or Event of Default shall have, or be deemed to have, occurred, provided that if such resolution meeting does not result in a cure or waiver of any such failure to comply, the Assignment Remedy shall be effectuated and, for clarity, no default or Event of Default shall have or be deemed to have occurred.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This Registration Rights Agreement (this “Agreement”) dated as of May , 2010 is entered into among AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Hercules Technology II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and Hercules Technology III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”).

WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchasers have entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of May , 2010 (the “Loan Agreement”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8.2(c) of the Loan Agreement, the Company has granted to the Purchasers certain rights to acquire shares of common stock of the Company, $.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), after the date hereof, in a private placement to be consummated concurrently with the closing of a Subsequent Financing (as defined in the Loan Agreement) that is a public offering (the shares of Common Stock that the Purchasers may acquire after the date hereof pursuant to Section 8.2(c) of the Loan Agreement, and any other shares of Common Stock issued in respect of such shares (because of stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, recapitalizations or similar events), are referred to herein as the “Loan Agreement Shares”); and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchasers have entered into Warrant Agreements (the “Warrant Agreements”) on May , 2010, pursuant to which the Company granted to the Purchasers warrants to purchase, at the Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant Agreements), an aggregate of $1,250,000.00 in shares of Common Stock (such shares, and any other shares of Common Stock issued in respect of such shares (because of stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications, recapitalizations or similar events), the “Warrant Shares”); and

WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchasers desire to provide for certain arrangements with respect to the registration of the Loan Agreement Shares and the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Registration of the Loan Agreement Shares. The Company shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), within ten (10) business days following each date on which Purchasers acquire Loan Agreement Shares pursuant to Section 8.2(c) of the Loan Agreement (each, a “Share Issuance Date”), a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form) covering resale to the public by Purchasers of such Loan Agreement Shares acquired on such Share Issuance Date by Purchasers (each, a “Loan Agreement Shares Registration Statement”), provided that the Company is then eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form).

2. Registration of the Warrant Shares.

(a) If the Company proposes to file a registration statement with the SEC for a public offering and sale of Common Stock of the Company, whether for its own account or for the account of any other stockholder of the Company (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4, or their successors, or any other form for a similar limited purpose, or any registration statement covering only securities proposed to be issued in exchange for securities or assets of another corporation (a “Warrant Shares Registration Statement”), at any time or from time to time on or prior to the date on which the Warrant Shares are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, the Company shall give written notice to the Purchasers of its intention to do so, provided, that no such notice need be given if no Registrable Shares (as defined below) are to be included therein as a result of a written notice from the managing underwriter pursuant to Section 2(b). Upon the written request of a Purchaser given within 20 days after the Company provides such notice (which request shall state the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Shares), the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Shares which the Company has been requested by such Purchaser to register to be registered under the Securities Act to the extent necessary to permit their sale or other disposition in accordance with the intended methods of distribution specified in the request of such Purchaser; provided that the Company shall have the right to postpone or withdraw any registration effected pursuant to this Section 2(a) without obligation to the Purchasers. “Registrable Shares” means the Warrant Shares, provided, however, that Warrant Shares shall cease to be Registrable Shares upon (i) any sale pursuant to a Warrant Shares Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (ii) any sale in any manner to a person or entity which is not entitled, pursuant to this Agreement, to the rights under this Agreement or (iii) at such time as they become eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

(b) If the registration for which the Company gives notice pursuant to Section 2 is a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Purchasers as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2(a) above. In such event, the right of a Purchaser to include its Registrable Shares in such registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall be conditioned upon such Purchaser’s participation in such underwriting on the terms required by the underwriter or underwriters selected for the underwriting by the Company and such Purchaser shall enter into an underwriting agreement upon such terms with such underwriter or underwriters. If such Purchaser disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Purchaser may elect, by written notice to the Company, to withdraw its Registrable Shares from such Registration Statement and underwriting. If the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be included by such Purchaser in such Registration Statement and underwriting may be reduced, provided that, the number of shares that may be included in such Registration Statement and underwriting by the Purchasers and Other Holders (as defined below) shall be allocated among each Purchaser and Other Holders requesting registration in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective number of shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) held by them on the date the Company gives the notice specified in Section 2(a). If a Purchaser or any Other Holder would thus be entitled to include more shares than such holder requested to be registered, the excess shall be allocated among each requesting Purchaser and other requesting Other Holders pro rata in the manner described in the preceding sentence. “Other Holders” means holders of securities of the Company (other than Purchasers) who are entitled, by contract with the Company, to have securities included in a Registration Statement.

3. Registration Procedures.

(a) If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of this Agreement to effect the registration of any Loan Agreement Shares or Registrable Shares (for purposes hereof, the Loan Agreement Shares or Registrable Shares, as the case may be, are sometimes referred to as the “Shares”) under the Securities Act, the Company shall:

(i) file with the SEC a Loan Agreement Shares Registration Statement or a Warrant Shares Registration Statement, as applicable (for purposes hereof, a Loan Agreement Shares Registration Statement or a Warrant Shares Registration Statement, as the case may be, is sometimes referred to as “Registration Statement”) with respect to such Shares and use its best efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective as soon as possible;

(ii) prepare and file with the SEC any amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus included in the Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act (including the anti-fraud provisions thereof) and to keep the Registration Statement effective for six months from the effective date or such lesser period until all such Shares are sold;

(iii) furnish to a participating Purchaser such reasonable numbers of copies of the Prospectus, including any preliminary Prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such Purchaser may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Shares owned by such Purchaser (for purposes hereof, “Prospectus” means the prospectus included in any Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented by an amendment or prospectus supplement, including post-effective amendments, and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus);

(iv) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Shares covered by the Registration Statement under the Securities Act or Blue Sky laws of such states as a participating Purchaser shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or desirable to enable such Purchaser to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such states of the Shares owned by such Purchaser; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection with this clause (iv) to qualify as a foreign corporation or execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction;

(v) cause all such Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(vi) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Shares not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

(vii) make available for inspection by a participating Purchaser, any managing underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement, and any

attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by such Purchaser, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Purchaser, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such Registration Statement;

(viii) notify a participating Purchaser, promptly after it shall receive notice thereof, of the time when such Registration Statement has become effective or a supplement to any Prospectus forming a part of such Registration Statement has been filed;

(ix) as expeditiously as possible following the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, notify a participating Purchaser of any request by the SEC for the amending or supplementing of such Registration Statement or Prospectus;

(x) in the event that the Company’s legal counsel renders an opinion with respect to the Registration Statement to any other stockholders of the Company participating in the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Registration Statement, arrange for a substantially similar opinion to be delivered to a participating Purchaser; and

(xi) furnish to a participating Purchaser a draft of the Registration Statement and the prospectus included in the Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto at least two business days prior to the filing of any such Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement with the SEC, and consider in good faith incorporating into such proposed filing any comments of such Purchaser received by the Company within two business days of furnishing such draft.

(b) If the Company has delivered a Prospectus to a participating Purchaser in connection with this Section 3 and after having done so the Prospectus is amended to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Company shall promptly notify such Purchaser and, if requested, such Purchaser shall immediately cease making offers of Shares and return all Prospectuses to the Company. The Company shall promptly provide such Purchaser with revised Prospectuses and, following receipt of the revised Prospectuses, such Purchaser shall be free to resume making offers of the Shares.

(c) In the event that, in the judgment of the Company, it is advisable to suspend use of a Prospectus included in a Registration Statement due to pending material developments or other events that have not yet been publicly disclosed and as to which the Company believes public disclosure would be detrimental to the Company, the Company shall notify a participating Purchaser to such effect, and, upon receipt of such notice, such Purchaser shall immediately discontinue any sales of Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement until such Purchaser has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus or until such Purchaser is advised in writing by the Company that the then current Prospectus may be used and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not exercise its rights under this Section 3(c) to suspend sales of Shares for a period in excess of 30 days consecutively or 60 days in any 365-day period.

(d) In the event that, in the judgment of the Company, it is advisable to delay the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement due to pending material developments or other events that have not yet been publicly disclosed and as to which the Company believes public disclosure would be detrimental to the Company, the Company may do so and shall notify a participating Purchaser to such effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not exercise its rights under this Section 3(d) to delay such filing or effectiveness for a period in excess of 30 days consecutively or 60 days in any 365-day period.

4. Requirements of Purchaser. Each Purchaser shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Purchaser and the distribution proposed by such Purchaser as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall treat information provided to it in connection with this Agreement regarding the Company and its plans to file a Registration Statement confidentially and shall not disclose or use such information other than as necessary to exercise its rights hereunder. Each Purchaser shall cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder.

5. Registration Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses (as defined below) for all registrations under this Agreement. “Registration Expenses” means all registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees, printing expenses and fees and expenses of counsel for the Company incurred by the Company in complying with the provisions of this Agreement, but excluding underwriting discounts, selling commissions and the fees and expenses of a Purchaser’s own counsel.

6. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) In the event of any registration of any of the Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each participating Purchaser, each underwriter of such Shares, and each other person, if any, who controls such Purchaser or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Purchaser, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities or Blue Sky laws 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 under which such Shares were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with the Registration Statement or the offering contemplated thereby; and the Company will reimburse such Purchaser, underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Purchaser, underwriter or controlling person 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 to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by or on behalf of such Purchaser, underwriter or controlling person specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

(b) In the event of any registration of any of the Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, each participating Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter (if any) and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company, such directors and officers, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, state securities or Blue Sky laws 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 a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Shares were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if and to the extent (and only to the extent) that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to such Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by such Purchaser specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided, however, that the obligations of each such Purchaser hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Purchaser of Shares sold in connection with such registration.

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Section 6 (an “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided, that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); 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 under this Section 6, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is adversely affected by such failure. The Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay such expense if the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding; provided further that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be required to pay the fees and expenses of more than one law firm per jurisdiction as counsel for the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party also shall be responsible for the expenses of such defense if the

Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume such defense. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which 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, and no Indemnified Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or settle such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is due in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect to any losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and a Purchaser on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and a Purchaser shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact related to information supplied by the Company or such Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), (i) in no case shall a Purchaser be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Purchaser from the offering of Shares and (ii) the Company shall be liable and responsible for any amount in excess of such proceeds; provided, however, that 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 who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this Section 6(d), notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought shall not relieve such party from any other obligation it or they may have thereunder or otherwise under this Section 6(d). No party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or claim settled without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) The rights and obligations of the Company and the Purchasers under this Section 6 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

7. Termination. Unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, all of the Company’s obligations to register the Loan Agreement Shares or the Warrant Shares under this Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (a) March 17, 2015 or (b) the date on which all of the Loan Agreement Shares and the Warrant Shares have been sold by the Purchasers.

8. Assignment of Rights. The rights and obligations of a Purchaser hereunder with respect to the Loan Agreement Shares or the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, may be assigned by such Purchaser in connection with the transfer of the Loan Agreement Shares or the Warrant Shares, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of any agreement setting forth the terms and conditions applicable to the transfer of the Loan Agreement Shares or the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, and any such transferee shall be deemed a “Purchaser” for the purposes of this Agreement; provided that such transferee provides written notice of such assignment to the Company and agrees to be bound in writing hereby.

9. 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.

10. Specific Performance. In addition to any and all other remedies that may be available at law in the event of any breach of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall be entitled to specific performance of the agreements and obligations of the parties hereunder and to such other injunctive or other equitable relief as may be granted by a court of competent jurisdiction.

11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware (without reference to the conflicts of law provisions thereof).

12. Notices. Any notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be sufficiently given if delivered personally or sent by telecopy or via a reputable express courier, with charges prepaid, to the address set forth below or to such other address of which the parties may have given notice. Unless otherwise specified herein, such notices or other communications shall be deemed received one business day after personal delivery or delivery by telecopy, or three business days after being sent, if sent by reputable express courier.
