4.        Representation and Warranties of the Purchaser.  The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company, severally and not jointly, as follows:

  4.1        Authorization.  Each Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and the Investors Rights Agreement. This Agreement and the Investors Rights Agreement constitute each Purchaser’s valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

  4.2        Purchase Entirely for Own Account.  This Agreement is made with Purchaser in reliance upon Purchaser’s representation to the Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Securities to be acquired by Purchaser will be acquired for investment for Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same; provided, however, nothing contained herein shall prevent Purchaser from transferring the Securities to an investment fund managed or advised by Purchaser (a “Purchaser Fund”), to any manager, member or advisor of Purchaser, to any affiliate or successor of the Purchaser or any manager, member or advisor of Purchaser or any general or limited partner of any Purchaser Fund. By executing this Agreement, Purchaser further represents that Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities. Purchaser has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities.

  4.3        Disclosure of Information.  Purchaser has discussed the Company and its plans, operations and financial condition with the Company’s officers and has received all such information as Purchaser deems necessary and appropriate to enable Purchaser to evaluate the financial risk inherent in making an investment in the Securities. To Purchaser’s knowledge, Purchaser has received satisfactory and complete information concerning the business and financial condition of the Company in response to the Purchaser’s inquiries.

  4.4        Sophistication.  Purchaser realizes that the purchase of the Securities will be a highly speculative investment. Purchaser is able, without impairing Purchaser’s financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of Purchaser’s investment. Purchaser recognizes that the Company has a limited financial and operating history and the investment in the Company involves substantial risks. Purchaser understands all of the risks related to the purchase of the Securities. By virtue of Purchaser’s experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company, Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Purchaser’s investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect Purchaser’s own interests.

  4.5        Restricted Securities.  Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission

 

10


and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale except as set forth in the Investors Rights Agreement. Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

  7.15        Fees and Expenses.  The Company agrees to pay any and all stamp, transfer and other similar taxes payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the issuance of the Shares and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares.

  7.16        Withholding Tax, etc.  The parties hereby acknowledge that payments with respect to the Shares (or shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares) made by the Company to each Purchaser, if Purchaser is a Foreign Purchaser, may be subject to United States withholding tax. Each Purchaser, if Purchaser is a Foreign Purchaser, shall timely provide to the Company two copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) to claim such an exemption or reduction in accordance with the applicable law.

  7.17        Waiver of Conflicts.  Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that LW, counsel to the Company, has in the past performed and is or may now or in the future represent one or more of the Purchasers or their affiliates in matters unrelated to the Offering, including representation of such Purchasers or their affiliates in matters of a similar nature to the Offering. The applicable rules of professional conduct require that LW inform the parties hereunder of this representation and obtain their consent. LW has served as outside general counsel to the Company and has negotiated the terms of the Offering solely on behalf of the Company. It is the belief of LW that these terms and conditions represent an arm’s length transaction between the Company and the Purchasers. The Purchasers have been represented by independent legal counsel regarding the terms of the Offering. The Company and each Purchaser hereby (i) acknowledge that they have had an opportunity to ask for and have obtained information relevant to such representation, including disclosure of the reasonably foreseeable adverse consequences of such representation, (ii) acknowledge that with respect to the Offering, LW has represented solely the Company, and not any Purchaser or any stockholder, director or employee of the Company or any Purchaser, and (iii) gives its informed consent to LW’s representation of the Company in the Offering.

  7.18        Selling Restrictions.  GSK agrees that for a period commencing on the date of the Closing and ending on the earliest of (a) the third anniversary of the date of the Closing, (b) the consummation of a Qualified IPO (as defined in the Investors Rights Agreement) and (c) the closing of a transaction in which a third party acquires a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the Company (the “Restricted Period”), neither GSK, nor any of its affiliates, shall offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant an option to purchase, make a short sale or otherwise dispose of any Securities held by GSK or any of its affiliates, or grant an option or other rights to any person or entity to acquire any Securities (i) to any person engaged in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries or (ii) in excess of such amount as is necessary to avoid consolidation of the Company’s financial performance with the performance of GSK, without the prior written consent of the Company; provided that notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.18 to the contrary, GSK and its affiliates shall be bound by the Market-Standoff Agreement in Section 1.14 of the Investors Rights Agreement. During the Restricted Period, the consent of the Company shall not be required for the transfers by GSK of all or a portion of the Securities to its affiliates (a “Permitted Transferee”); provided, however, that such affiliate agrees to become a party to, and be bound by, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by duly executing and delivering a joinder agreement. During the two year period from and after the expiration of the Restricted Period, GSK and/or its affiliates shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant an option to purchase, make a short sale or otherwise dispose of any of the Securities purchased by GSK

 

16

        (b)        Nothing herein shall prevent GSK or its affiliates (or in the case of Section 7.19(b)(iv), their employees) from: (i) purchasing the Shares at the Closing; (ii) purchasing additional Securities pursuant to the provisions of the Investors Rights Agreement or the Certificate; (iii) acquiring Securities issued in connection with stock splits or recapitalizations; (iv) following the consummation of a Qualified IPO (as defined in the Investors Rights Agreement) purchasing Securities for (A) a pension plan established for the benefit of GSK’s employees, (B) any employee benefit plan of GSK, (C) any stock portfolios not controlled by GSK or any of its affiliates that invest in the Company among other companies, or (D) any account of a GSK director, officer or employee in such individual’s personal capacity; or (v) acquiring securities of another biotechnology or pharmaceutical company that beneficially owns any Securities; provided that any Securities so acquired shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7.18 of this Agreement on the same basis as the Shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement.

        (c)        GSK and its affiliates shall be free from the restrictions and limitations contained in this Section 7.19 in the event that: (i) the Board of Directors of the Company publicly announces or publicly acknowledges that (A) the Board of Directors of Company has decided to sell the Company or (B) the Company is for sale; (ii) the Company enters into a written agreement with a third party providing for a transaction which would give rise to a change of control in the Company; (iii) any third party commences or otherwise undertakes any tender or exchange offer (as such terms are defined or used under the Exchange Act) for the Company; or (iv) any third party initiates a “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are defined or used in Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act) with respect to the Company.

  7.20        No Shop/Right to Match.

        (a)        The Company agrees that, without the consent of GSK, neither it nor its employees, officers directors, nor any agent acting on their behalf or on behalf of the Company, will for a period of 180 days from the date of the Closing (the “No Shop Period”) take any action to solicit, initiate, encourage, enter into any discussions relating to, or provide any assistance with respect to any proposal, negotiation or offer from any person or entity other than its existing stockholders relating to the acquisition, sale, lease, merger, or other disposition of the Company or any material part of the stock or assets of the Company (other than in a public offering or private financing for capital raising purposes) (collectively, a “Sale Transaction”) and shall notify GSK in writing of any inquiries by any third parties in regards to the foregoing.

        (b)        Without limiting the restrictions set forth in Section 7.20(a), the Company further agrees that during the No Shop Period and until the later of: (i) six (6) months after the end of the No Shop Period or (ii) thirty (30) days after GSK’s receipt of top-line maintenance data from its PROTECT-1 clinical study (but in no event later than twelve (12) months after the end to the No Shop Period) (the “Right to Match Period”), it will not enter into discussions with, or provide any person or entity other than its existing stockholders with information relating to a Sale Transaction, without notifying GSK of such discussions within five (5) business days of their commencement. During the Right to Match Period the Company shall provide in writing to GSK the terms of any proposed Sale Transaction deemed by the Board of Directors of the Company to be acceptable, negotiated in good faith, and not subject to any additional due diligence by a third party. GSK will then have ten (10) business days (the “Negotiation Period”) to conduct due diligence and negotiate and execute a definitive agreement to enter into a Sale Transaction on terms materially equivalent to those proposed terms disclosed to GSK, provided that the Company provides reasonable cooperation to GSK during such period. If GSK enters into a definitive agreement during the Negotiation Period then GSK and the Company will have thirty (30) business days (which thirty (30) days period shall be extended in order to obtain required regulatory approvals) to complete and close the Sale Transaction. Regardless of whether GSK enters into a definitive agreement during the Negotiation Period, all rights under this Section 7.20 shall remain in effect through the duration of the Right to Match Period if the Company does not close the previously proposed Sale Transaction on substantially the proposed terms disclosed to GSK.

        (c)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights under this Section 7.20 shall immediately terminate in the event of an initial public offering which causes an automatic conversion of the Company’s outstanding Preferred Stock as provided in the Company’s then outstanding Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

  7.21        No Participation in the Company’s Initial Public Offering.

        (a)        GSK acknowledges that on November 9, 2007 the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) in contemplation of its initial public offering (“IPO”) and GSK agrees that neither it nor any of its affiliates shall (i) purchase securities in an IPO by the Company pursuant to the Registration Statement or (ii) purchase securities in any IPO of the Company completed within twelve (12) months of the Closing, unless such IPO is conducted by the

 

18


Company pursuant to a registration statement filed subsequent to an abandonment of the Registration Statement by the Company performed in accordance with Rule 155(c) promulgated under the Securities Act.

        (b)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to terminate GSK’s agreement, pursuant to Section 7.18 of that certain Series D Preferred Stock Agreement dated August 22, 2006 by and between the Company and the purchasers party thereto, as amended, to purchase an aggregate amount of $7 million of the Company’s Common Stock in a private placement to be completed concurrently with the closing of an IPO by the Company that raises at least $25 million in proceeds.

  7.22        Post-Closing HSR Filings.     In the event of post-closing conversion of the Shares requiring notification under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “HSR Act”), the Purchasers agree to (i) file such notification under the HSR Act with the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice Antitrust Division, (ii) pay all required filing fees associated with such notification, and (iii) notify the Company of the fact the Purchasers intend to acquire voting securities of the Company as required by the HSR Act.
