10. Call Option. Provided that there is no unremedied KPI Failure (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) with respect to any Additional Closing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Company shall have the right to require each holder of outstanding shares of Series BRN Preferred Stock to sell to the Company all (but not less than all) of its shares of Series BRN Preferred Stock (the “Call Option”) under the following terms and conditions:

10.1 At any time on or after the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Initial Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Company shall have the right to exercise the Call Option in the manner set forth in Section 10.3 below at a per share purchase price equal to an amount that would yield a twenty percent (20%) internal rate of return on the original purchase price paid by such holder for the shares of Series BRN Preferred Stock subject to the Call Option (the “IRR Exercise Price”). For purposes hereof, “internal rate of return” means the discount rate at which the net present value of the Original Issue Price (as defined in the Company Charter) of the Series BRN Preferred Stock is equal to the net present value of the purchase price to be paid upon exercise of the Call Option and all dividends paid with respect to a share of Series BRN Preferred from the original date of issuance and shall be calculated using the XIRR function in the most recent version of Microsoft Excel (or if such program is no longer available, such other software program for calculating IRR reasonably proposed by the Company).

(b) breaches any of its material obligations under the Financing Agreements (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (including, for example, failing to assign ownership of any inventions made within the Project Company to the Company or failing to convert its shares of Series BRN Preferred Stock in accordance with the Company Charter), which breach remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after such breach and provided, however, that the Company is not then itself in breach of its obligations under the applicable Financing Agreement(s);

the Company shall have the right to exercise the Call Option at any time within two (2) months of such failure to purchase or breach (provided that such two (2) month period shall commence on the date of delivery of written notice of such breach) with respect to all of the shares of Series BRN Preferred Stock held by such holder as of immediately prior to such failure to purchase or breach or as of the date of the Exercise Notice (whichever is greater), at a per share purchase price of $6.00 (as adjusted for all stock splits, dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like affecting the Series BRN Preferred Stock) (the “Minimum Exercise Price” and together with the IRR Exercise Price, the “Exercise Price”).

10.3 If, at any time after the Initial Closing Date, a statute, rule, regulation, order, or interpretation shall have been enacted, entered or deemed applicable by any domestic or foreign government or governmental or administrative agency or court which would make the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or the other Financing Agreements illegal and each of the conditions to the obligations of RUSNANO and any Co-Investor set forth in Sections 4.2(a), (b), (c) and (d) of the Purchase Agreement, if applicable, have been satisfied, the Company shall have the right to exercise the Call Option in the manner set forth in Section 10.4 below at a per share purchase price equal to the Minimum Exercise Price

On a date (the “Settlement Date”) that is within ten (10) business days after receipt of an Exercise Notice, the Company shall pay to the relevant holder the applicable Exercise Price determined in accordance with Sections 10.1, 10.2 or 10.3. Such payment may be effected in cash or by certified or official bank check or wire transfer to an account designated by the holders of the Series BRN Preferred Stock in writing.

Except as required by the preceding sentence, no action or consent by the Purchasers, Founders, Executive Officers or Other Stockholders shall be required for such joinder to this Agreement by such Co-Investor or any aforesaid amendment of Schedule A, so long as such Co-Investor has agreed in writing to be bound by all of the obligations as an “Purchaser” hereunder.

12.9 Additional Common Holders. In the event that after the date of this Agreement, the Company issues shares of capital stock to any employee or consultant, which shares constitute two percent (2%) or more of the Company’s then outstanding capital stock (treating for this purpose all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of or conversion of outstanding options, warrants or convertible securities, as if exercised or converted), the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such person to execute a counterpart signature page hereto as a “Stockholder”, and such person shall thereby be bound by, and subject to, all the terms and provisions of this Agreement applicable to a Stockholder. In addition, with the consent of the Company, any other Stockholder may become a party to this Agreement as an “Other Stockholder” by executing and delivering a counterpart signature page hereto to the Company, and such person shall thereby be bound by, and subject to, all the terms and provisions of this Agreement applicable to an Other Stockholder; provided that no such joinder shall be effective unless and until accepted in writing by the Company. No action or consent by the other parties to this Agreement shall be required for such joinder to this Agreement by such additional Other Stockholder, and upon any such joinder, the Company shall update Schedule C hereto to reflect the addition of such Other Stockholder as a party hereto.

12.10 Additional Shares.

12.11 Amended and Restated Agreement. All provisions of, rights granted and covenants made in the Former Voting Agreement are hereby superseded in their entirety and shall have no further force or effect. Each of the Founders and the Prior Purchasers acknowledge and agree that the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the additional Financing Agreements and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder do not constitute a default under the provisions of the Former Voting Agreement.

12.12 Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including its existence, validity, interpretation, performance, non-performance,

 

16


breach or termination (collectively, the “Dispute”) shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC Rules”), except as they may be modified herein or by mutual agreement of the parties. The Dispute shall be resolved by three (3) arbitrators appointed in the following manner: each party shall nominate an arbitrator for confirmation as provided in the ICC Rules and following their confirmation, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce; provided, however, that at least one (1) of such arbitrators shall have substantive expertise in the pharmaceutical industry. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The tribunal shall determine the proportion of the costs of the arbitration which each party shall bear. The award shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets.
