In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Purchase of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

1.1 Sale and Issuance of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

(a) Prior to the Closing (as defined below), the Company shall adopt and file with the Secretary of State of Delaware an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Restated Certificate”), which shall set forth the terms of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock to be purchased under this Agreement (the “Series D Stock”).

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Company agrees to sell and issue, and the Purchasers agree to purchase, severally and not jointly, at a purchase price of $0.83 per share (the “Purchase Price”), the number of shares of Series D Stock set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule 1 (the “Shares”).

1.2 Closing; Deliveries.

(a) The purchase and sale of the Shares (the “Closing”) shall take place simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement at the offices of WilmerHale LLP, 60 State Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02109, on the date hereof, or at such other time and place as are mutually agreeable to the Company and the Purchasers acquiring in the aggregate at least a majority of the Shares.

At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a certificate representing the number of Shares that such Purchaser is purchasing in the Closing, registered in the name of such Purchaser, against delivery by such Purchaser of payment of the aggregate purchase price for such Shares by wire transfer or check.

1.3 Use of Proceeds. In accordance with the directions of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), the Company will use the proceeds from the sale of the Shares for general working capital purposes.

2. Representations of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to each Purchaser that, except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule furnished to the Purchasers prior to execution of this Agreement and attached as Schedule 3 to this Agreement, the following representations and warranties are true and complete as of the date of this Agreement, except


with respect to any representation or warranty that is expressly made as of a different date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct as of such date. The Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in sections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Section 2.

2.1 Organization; Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own its property, to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted and to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, the Voting Agreement (as defined below) and the Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement (as defined below) (collectively, the “Financing Agreements”) and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and in each other foreign jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company or its assets, liabilities, financial condition or operations.

2.2 Authorization. The Financing Agreements constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to and limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws generally applicable to creditors’ rights, (ii) judicial discretion in the availability of equitable relief, and (iii) federal and state securities laws to the extent applicable to the indemnification provision set forth in Section 8. The execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Agreements and the performance of all obligations of the Company thereunder have been, or will be prior to the Closing, duly authorized by all necessary corporate or stockholder approval or other action of the Company. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take all necessary corporate action to authorize the issuance, sale and delivery of the Series D Stock in accordance with this Agreement and to reserve for issuance and delivery the shares of Common Stock (as defined below) issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series D Stock.

2.3 Valid Issuance of Stock.

The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Stock has been duly and validly authorized and reserved for issuance and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the Restated Certificate, shall (i) be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, (ii) be issued in compliance with all currently applicable federal and state securities laws, subject to the securities law filings described in Section 2.4 below.

The Company is not required to obtain the consent, approval, order, or authorization of, or complete any registration, qualification, designation, declaration, or filing with, any federal, state, local, or provincial governmental authority in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, except for certain federal and state securities law filings that are permitted or required to be filed following the Closing.

(d) The Company has no knowledge that any of its officers, employees or consultants is obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants, or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or is subject to any judgment, decree, or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with his or her ability to use his or her best efforts to perform his or her intended duties for the Company or that would conflict with the business of the Company as currently conducted or as proposed to be conducted.

(e) To the best knowledge of the Company, the execution and delivery of the Financing Agreements, the conduct of the intended duties of officers, employees and consultants of the Company, and the conduct of the business of the Company as currently conducted and as proposed to be conducted will not conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions, or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant, or instrument which legally binds any of such officers, employees or consultants.

- 5 -


or (iii) any material provision of federal or state statute, rule, or regulation applicable to the Company. The execution, delivery, and performance of the Financing Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein will not (a) conflict with, nor result in any violation of or default under any such instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree, contract, or provision or (b) give rise to any event that results in the creation of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization, or approval that applies to the Company, its business or operations, or any of its assets or properties. The Company has not performed any act or failed to perform any act, the occurrence of which would result in the Company’s loss of any right granted under any license or other agreement set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, except where the loss of such right would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company or its assets, liabilities, financial condition, prospects or operations.

2.11 Contracts and Commitments.

(a) Schedule 2.11(a) includes a complete list of all agreements, contracts, obligations, or commitments, of any nature to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound, other than the Financing Agreements, that are material to the conduct and operation of its business and properties, including any employment contracts; stock redemption or purchase agreements; loan agreements, security agreements and guaranties; licenses, distributor or sales representative agreements; agreements with officers, directors, employees or shareholders of the Company or persons or organizations related to or affiliated with any such persons; leases; agreements relating to product development; or bonus, pension, profit-sharing, severance, retirement or stock option plans, in each case involving a contractual commitment by the Company in excess of $25,000 (“Material Contracts”). Each such Material Contract constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, and is in full force and effect. The Company is not in material default under any Material Contract and there is no state of facts which upon notice or lapse of time or both would constitute such a default. To the best knowledge of the Company, no other party to a Material Contract is in default thereunder and to the best knowledge of the Company, there is no state of facts which upon notice or lapse of time or both would constitute such a default. As of the date of the Closing, the Company does not intend to cancel, withdraw, modify or amend any Material Contract, nor has it been notified that any other party to any Material Contract intends to cancel, withdraw, modify or amend any such Material Contract. The performance of each Material Contract by the Company will not violate any other agreement, judgment, order, writ or decree binding upon the Company or any material provision of any federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, the performance of each Material Contract by each other party thereto will not violate any other agreement, judgment, order, writ or decree binding upon such other party or any material provision of any federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to such other party. The Company is not a party to any contract or arrangement that is, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company or its assets, liabilities, financial condition or operations.

(b) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.11(b), to the best knowledge of the Company, no employee of the Company is in default under any outstanding contract, obligation,

 

- 6 -


or commitment of such employee with any prior employer. Neither the Company nor, to the best knowledge of the Company, any of its employees, officers, directors or consultants is a party to any contract or agreement, oral or written, that prohibits them from freely competing or engaging in the business of the Company.

(c) True and complete copies of each Material Contract have been provided to the Purchasers and counsel to the Company.

(d) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.11(d) and except as required pursuant to this Agreement, the Company is presently not under any obligation, and has not granted any rights, to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), any of the Company’s presently outstanding securities or any of its securities that may hereafter be issued. To the Company’s knowledge, except as contemplated in the Voting Agreement and except as set forth on Schedule 2.11(d), no stockholder of the Company has entered into any agreement with respect to the voting of equity securities of the Company.

2.12 Related-Party Transactions. No employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or member of his or her immediate family is indebted to the Company, nor is the Company indebted (or committed to make loans or extend or guarantee credit) to any of them, other than in the ordinary course. To the best knowledge of the Company, except as set forth on Schedule 2.12, none of such persons has any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or corporation with which the Company is affiliated or with which the Company has a business relationship, or any firm or corporation that competes with the Company, except that employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company and members of their immediate families may own stock in publicly traded companies that may compete with the Company where such interest does not exceed one percent (1%) of the outstanding voting stock of any such publicly traded company. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.12, no employee, officer or director of the Company or member of the immediate family of any officer or director of the Company is directly or indirectly interested in any Material Contract. Schedule 2.12 sets forth, as of the Closing, the cash, equity and other compensation paid or promised to be paid to each officer of the Company. No employee of the Company has been granted the right to continued employment by the Company or to any material compensation following termination of employment with the Company.

2.13 Permits.

(a) The Company has obtained all franchises, permits, licenses, and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its current operations, the lack of which could materially and adversely affect the business, properties, or financial condition of the Company. The Company is not in violation in any material respect under any of such franchises, permits, licenses, or other similar authority, and to the Company’s knowledge, no event has occurred that allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination thereof or results in any other impairment of the rights of the holder thereof.

(b) The Company has operated and currently is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable rules, regulations and policies of the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the Company has not

 

- 7 -


received any notices or other correspondence from the FDA or any other governmental agency requiring the termination, suspension or modification of any clinical studies or tests.

2.14 Information Supplied to Purchasers. Neither this Agreement, the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, the Voting Agreement, the Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement nor any certificate, projection or statement nor any written information provided to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company, when read together, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact relating to the business, prospects, operations, affairs, or conditions of the Company which adversely affects the same which has not been set forth in this Agreement or in the Schedules or Exhibits.

The underwriter will be selected by the Company and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Initiating Holders holding a majority of the Outstanding Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration.

All Preferred Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in subsection 8.5(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Preferred Holders requesting registration pursuant to this Section 8.2 a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board that it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for a registration statement to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders.

(b) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under this Section 8.3 to include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless such Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with

 

- 23 -


the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering; provided, however, there shall first be excluded from such registration statement all shares of Common Stock sought to be included therein by (i) any director, consultant, officer, or employee of the Company or any subsidiary thereof other than the Founder Holders and (ii) stockholders exercising any contractual or incidental registration rights subordinate and junior to the rights of the Preferred Holders of Registrable Securities. If after such shares are excluded, the underwriters shall determine in their sole discretion that the number of securities which remain to be included in the offering exceeds the amount of securities to be sold that the underwriters determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then there shall second be excluded from such registration statement all shares of Common Stock sought to be included therein by the Founder Holders. If after such additional shares are excluded, the underwriters shall determine in their sole discretion that the number of securities which remain to be included in the offering exceeds the amount of securities to be sold that the underwriters determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Registrable Securities to be included, if any, shall be apportioned pro rata among the Holders other than Founder Holders providing notice of their desire to participate in the offering according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each such selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such Holders, provided, however, that no exclusion of such Holders’ Registrable Securities shall be made unless all other stockholders’ securities are first excluded. For purposes of the preceding sentence concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder which is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners, and stockholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “selling Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

(c) No incidental right under this Section 8.3 shall be construed to limit any registration required under Section 8.2 or Section 8.4 herein.

8.4 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from one or more Preferred Holders a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Preferred Holder(s), the Company agrees:

(a) to promptly give written notice of the proposed registration (the “S-3 Notice”) to all other Preferred Holders, if any; and

(b) as soon as practicable after receiving such a request, use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Preferred Holder’s or Preferred Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Preferred Holder(s) joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after the S-3 Notice is given by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration pursuant to this Section 8.4 (i)

 

- 24 -


if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Preferred Holder(s); (ii) if the Preferred Holder(s), together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than $1,000,000; (iii) if the Company shall furnish to the Preferred Holder(s) a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that it would be in the good faith judgment of the underwriters seriously detrimental to the Company for such Form S-3 registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request of the Preferred Holder(s) under this Section 8.4; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; or (iv) if the Company has effected two (2) registrations on Form S-3 (or its then equivalent) pursuant to this Section 8.4 within the previous 12-month period and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective and the sales of Registrable Securities under such registration statement have closed.

(c) Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Sections 8.2 or 8.3, respectively.

8.5 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 8 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible (but subject to providing counsel to the Holders with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all documents):

(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such 120-day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such 120-day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold or could be sold without restriction under SEC Rule 144; provided, that SEC Rule 415, or any successor rule under the Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis; and provided further that applicable rules under the Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permit, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment which (x) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or (y) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, the incorporation by reference of information required to be included in (x) and (y) above to be contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act in the registration statement.

(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

(f) Promptly notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act as a result of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

(g) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.

(h) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.

8.6 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 8 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

- 27 -


controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act, other federal or state law, or the laws of any other jurisdiction insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions, or violations (collectively a “Violation”) (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein 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 Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act, or any state securities law; and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter, or controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 8.10(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder, underwriter, or controlling person.

(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder severally and not jointly will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, each person (if any) who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement, and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection 8.10(b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 8.10(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and further provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 8.10(b) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any selling expenses paid by such Holder).

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8.10 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8.10, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to

 

- 28 -


assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel and participate in the defense, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 8.10, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8.10.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8.10 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that no contribution by any Holder, when combined with any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 8.10(b), shall exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any selling expenses paid by such Holder). The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control; provided, however, that the failure of the underwriting agreement to address a provision addressed in this Agreement shall not be deemed a conflict.

(f) Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement as provided in subsection 8.10(e) above, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 8.10 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 8, and otherwise.

8.11 Reports Under the 1934 Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to use its best efforts:

 

- 29 -

(b) to take such action, including the voluntary registration of its Common Stock under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, as is necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities, such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year in which the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public is declared effective;

(c) to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Act and the 1934 Act; and

(d) to furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company), the Act and the 1934 Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

8.12 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of 60% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would provide to such holder the right to include securities in any registration unless, under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the number of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included; provided that this limitation shall not apply to any Purchaser hereunder.

8.13 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that, during the period of duration (not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days) specified by the Company and an underwriter of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (the “Lock-Up Period”), following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Act relating to the IPO of the Company, such Holder shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including any short sale), grant any option to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any securities of the Company held by it at any time during the Lock-Up Period except Common Stock included in such registration; provided, however, that all officers and directors of the Company, Founder Holders and stockholders holding in excess of one percent (1%) of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company (treating all Preferred Stock on an as-converted to Common Stock basis) enter into similar

 

- 30 -


agreements. Any discretionary waiver or termination by the Company or the underwriters of the restrictions described in this Section 8.12 as applied to any Holder, officer or director of the Company (the “Subject Parties”) shall apply pro rata to all Holders subject to such restrictions, based on the number of shares held by each Holder that are subject to such restrictions, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the underwriters may, in their sole discretion, waive or terminate these restrictions with respect to (i) the exercise or conversion of stock options, warrants and other convertible securities that would otherwise expire during the Lock-Up Period and (ii) up to an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to appropriate adjustments in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization affecting the Common Stock, held by the Subject Parties.

In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of a Holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations described in this Section 8.12 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a SEC Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future.

8.14 Restrictions on Transfer. The Preferred Stock and the Registrable Securities shall not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred to a Competitor of the Company without the Company’s prior written consent, and the Company shall not recognize and shall issue stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to any such sale, pledge, or transfer. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Competitor” shall mean an operating entity whose business is the research, development, manufacture, commercialization or marketing of pharmaceutical products. Any roll-up, merger or consolidation of Lilly Ventures with or into Eli Lilly & Co. (“Lilly”) or an Affiliate of Lilly that would qualify as a Competitor under the foregoing definition shall not be considered a transfer of Preferred Stock or Registrable Securities for purposes of this Section 8.14, provided that in no event shall (i) information received by Lilly Ventures Fund I LLC or its successors or assigns pursuant to Section 6.1 and 6.2 hereof or (ii) inspection rights to which such parties are entitled pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof be provided or transferred to any individual having as a substantial portion of his or her daily responsibilities the research, development, acquisition, licensing or commercialization of pharmaceutical products that are competitive with the products then being developed by the Company.

8.15 Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section 8 following the earliest to occur of:

(a) when all of such Holder’s Registrable Securities have been sold;

(b) when (i) the Company has completed its IPO, and (ii) all of such Holder’s (and its affiliates’) Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction under SEC Rule 144; and

(c) the fifth anniversary of the IPO.

9. Transfers and Assignment.

9.1 Assignment of Certain Rights.

(a) Subject to Section 8.14, the rights granted to the Preferred Investors under Sections 6, 7 and 8 of this Agreement may be transferred or assigned (subject to the terms of this Agreement and with all related obligations) in connection with a transfer or assignment of Preferred Stock or Registrable Securities to (i) any other Preferred Investor or any current or former general or limited partner, retired partner, member, shareholder, parent, child, spouse, trust or other Affiliate (as defined in the Act) of any Preferred Investor or (ii) any other person or entity that acquires at least twenty five percent (25%) of the transferor’s Registrable Securities; provided, however, that (x) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee and the Preferred Stock or Registrable Securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred, and (y) such transferee agrees in a written instrument delivered to the Company to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of Section 8.13 and 8.14.

(b) Subject to Section 8.14, the rights granted to the Founder Holders under Section 8 of this Agreement may be transferred or assigned to Permitted Transferees in accordance with Section 8.1(g) above.

9.2 Subsequent Transfers. A transferee to whom rights are transferred pursuant to this Section 9 may not again transfer such rights to any other person or entity, other than as provided in Section 9.1 above.

10. Confidentiality. Each Holder agrees that such Holder shall keep confidential and shall not disclose or use (other than to monitor its investment in the Company) this Agreement and all Schedules and Exhibits hereto, the Financing Agreements, and all other documents delivered in connection with the Closing, and also any confidential, proprietary, or secret information that it has or may obtain from the Company, unless such confidential information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10 by such Holder), (b) is or has been independently developed or conceived by the Holder without use of the Company’s confidential information, or (c) is or has been made known or disclosed to the Holder by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to the Company; provided, however, that a Holder may disclose confidential information (i) to its attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with monitoring its investment in the Company and negotiating the terms thereof; (ii) to any prospective purchaser of any Registrable Securities from such Holder, if such prospective purchaser agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10; (iii) to any Affiliate, partner, member, stockholder, or wholly owned subsidiary of such Holder in the ordinary course of business, provided that such Holder informs such Person that such information is confidential and directs such Person to maintain the confidentiality of such information; or (iv) as may otherwise be required by law, court order or subpoena, provided that the Holder promptly notifies the Company of such disclosure and takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure.
