Purchaser understands that its acquisition of the Common Shares and the Warrants has not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state securities law in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein. Purchaser has completed or caused to be completed the Purchaser Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit C for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and the responses provided therein shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date and will be true and correct as of the effective date of the Registration Statement.

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.  THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS.”

(c)           Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.9 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either (i) the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such Purchaser shall have confirmed that a current prospectus is deemed to be delivered in connection with such sale, pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act (“Rule 172”), or (ii) an exemption therefrom.

(d)           The Company agrees that following the effective date the Registration Statement or the Demand Registration Statement, as applicable, or at such time as such legend is no longer required under Section 4.9(a), it will, within a reasonable time after the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Shares issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.

(b)           use its best efforts, subject to receipt of necessary information from the Purchasers, to cause any such Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 7.2(a) above to become effective as promptly after filing of such Registration Statement as practicable but in any

12

event by the date (the “Effectiveness Deadline Date”) that is 90 days following the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the event that such Registration Statement is reviewed by the SEC, then the Effectiveness Deadline Date shall mean, with respect to any Registration Statement, the date that is 120 days following the Closing Date; provided, further, that if the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline Date, then for each one-week period following the Effectiveness Deadline Date (or any portion thereof), until but excluding the date the Registration Statement is declared effective, the Company shall pay each Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty (in addition to the rights and remedies available to each Purchaser under applicable law and this Agreement), an amount equal to Applicable Percentage (defined below) of the purchase price attributable to the Common Shares purchased by such Purchaser hereunder, for such one-week period (or prorated for any portion thereof).  Such liquidated damages shall be payable monthly in cash within five (5) business days from the end of the month in which such damages accrued.  The parties hereto agree that, subject to Section 7.2(d) below, the liquidated damages provided for in this Section 7.2(b) constitute a reasonable estimate of the damages that may be incurred by the Purchasers by reason of the failure of the Registration Statement to be declared effective in accordance with the provisions hereof;

(c)           prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective until termination of such obligation as provided in Section 7.7 below, subject to the Company’s right to suspend pursuant to Section 7.6; provided, however, that if the effectiveness of the Registration Statement lapses prior to termination of the Company’s obligations under Section 7.7, without such lapse being cured within twenty (20) business days (the “Cure Period”) by a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, a supplement to the prospectus included in the Registration Statement or a report filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that cures such lapse, then for each one-week period following the expiration of the Cure Period (or any portion thereof), until but excluding the earlier of (i) the date on which such failure is cured and (ii) the date on which the Company’s obligation to keep the Registration Statement effective until termination of such obligation as provided in Section 7.7, the Company shall pay each Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty (in addition to the rights and remedies available to each Purchaser under applicable law and this Agreement), an amount equal to Applicable Percentage (defined below) of the purchase price attributable to the Common Shares purchased by such Purchaser hereunder, for such one-week period (or prorated for any portion thereof).  Such liquidated damages shall be payable monthly in cash within five (5) business days from the end of the month in which such damages accrued.  The parties hereto agree that, subject to Section 7.2(d) below, the liquidated damages provided for in this Section 7.2(c) constitute a reasonable estimate of the damages that may be incurred by the Purchasers by reason of the failure of the Registration Statement to be declared effective in accordance with the provisions hereof;

(d)           For purposes of this Section 7.2, the “Applicable Percentage” shall mean the applicable percentage set forth below:

(i)            During the three (3) months commencing on the first day upon which the Company first becomes obligated to pay liquidated damages pursuant to

13

Section 7.2(a), Section 7.2(b) or Section 7.2(c), as applicable, 0.25%;

(ii)           During the three (3) months commencing the day after the expiration of the period described in Section 7.2(d)(i) above, 0.5%; and

(iii)         For the one-week period commencing the day after the expiration of the period described in Section 7.2(d)(ii), 1.0%.

For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the total amount of any and all liquidated damages payable by the Company to any Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.2(a), Section 7.2(b) and Section 7.2(c), in the aggregate, exceed 10% of the purchase price attributable to the Common Shares purchased by such Purchaser hereunder.

(e)           furnish to each Purchaser (and to each underwriter, if any, of such Registrable Shares) such number of copies of prospectuses in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and such other documents as the Purchasers may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Shares by the Purchasers;

(f)            file such documents as may be required of the Company for normal securities law clearance for the resale of the Registrable Shares in such states of the United States as may be reasonably requested by each Purchaser; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection with this paragraph (e) to qualify as a foreign corporation or execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction;

(g)           advise each Purchaser promptly:

(i)            of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendments thereto;

(ii)           of any request by the SEC for amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments to the prospectus or for additional information relating thereto;

(iii)         of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Registrable Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes; and

(iv)          of the existence of any fact and the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the prospectus and amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement or the prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading;

(h)           use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Shares to be listed on each securities exchange, if any, on which equity securities by the Company are then listed; and

14

(i)            otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Purchasers holding Shares as of the date thereof, no later than the Availability Date (as defined below), an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months, beginning after the effective date of each Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, including Rule 158 promulgated thereunder (for the purpose of this subsection 7.2(i), “Availability Date” means the 45th day following the end of the fourth fiscal quarter after the fiscal quarter that includes the effective date of such Registration Statement, except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter is the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the 90th day after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter).

7.3          Demand Registration

(a)           If the Registration Statement is not declared effective, if the effectiveness lapses or if registration on a Form S-3 registration statement is not available to the Company, then, subject to the conditions of this Section 7.3, if the Company shall receive a written request from the Initiating Holders that the Company file a Demand Registration Statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of the Registrable Shares then outstanding, then the Company shall, within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Registered Holders of Registrable Shares, and subject to the limitations of this Section 7.3, effect, as expeditiously as reasonably possible, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Shares that all Registered Holders request to be registered.

(b)           If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Shares covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 7.3 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 7.3(a).  In such event, the right of any Registered Holder to include its Registrable Shares in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Registered Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Registered Holder’s Registrable Shares in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.  All Registered Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Registered Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares held by all Initiating Holders (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.3, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Shares) then the Company shall so advise all Registered Holders of Registrable Shares that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Registered Holders of such Registrable Shares on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Shares held by all such Registered Holders (including the Initiating Holders).  Any Registrable Shares excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.

(c)           The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 7.3:

15

(i)            after the Company has effected three (3) registrations pursuant to this Section 7.3, and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective;

(ii)           during the period starting with the date of filing of, and ending on the date one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of a registration statement pertaining to a public offering, other than pursuant to a Special Registration Statement; provided that the Company makes reasonable good faith efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;

(iii)         if within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written request from Initiating Holders pursuant to Section 7.3(a), the Company gives notice to the Registered Holders of the Company’s intention to file a registration statement for a public offering, other than pursuant to a Special Registration Statement within ninety (90) days;

(iv)          if the Company shall furnish to Registered Holders requesting a Demand Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 7.3 a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Demand Registration Statement to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than twice in any twelve (12) month period; or

(v)            in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.

7.4          Expenses of Registration.  Except as specifically provided herein, all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Sections 7.2 or 7.3 herein shall be borne by the Company.  All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3, shall be borne by the Registered Holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered.  The Company shall not, however, be required to pay for expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 7.3, the request of which has been subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating Holders unless (a) the withdrawal is based upon material adverse information concerning the Company of which the Initiating Holders were not aware at the time of such request or (b) the Registered Holders of a majority of Registrable Shares agree to deem such registration to have been effected as of the date of such withdrawal for purposes of determining the number of registrations effected by the Company as required pursuant to Section 7.3(c), to undertake any subsequent registration, in which event such right shall be forfeited by all Registered Holders).  If the Registered Holders are required to pay the Registration Expenses, such expenses shall be borne by the Registered Holders of Registrable Shares requesting such registration in proportion to the number of shares for which registration was requested.  If the Company is required to pay the Registration Expenses of a withdrawn offering pursuant to clause (a) above, then such registration shall not be deemed to have been effected for purposes of determining whether the Company shall be obligated pursuant to Section 7.3(c), to undertake any subsequent registration.

16

7.5          Indemnification.

(a)           The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, the partners, members, officers and directors of each Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls such Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any Demand Registration Statement, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or arise out of any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in the Registration Statement or any Demand Registration Statement and the Company will, as incurred, reimburse such Purchaser, partner, member, officer, director or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability (collectively, “Loss”) arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in such Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Purchaser, partner, member, officer, director or controlling person specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement or any breach of this Agreement by such Purchaser; provided further, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Purchaser of Registrable Shares (or any partner, member, officer, director or controlling person of such Purchaser) to the extent that any such Loss is caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if either (i)(A) such Purchaser failed to confirm that a final prospectus was deemed to be delivered pursuant to Rule 172 prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by such Purchaser to the person asserting the claim from which such Loss resulted and (B) the final prospectus corrected such untrue statement or omission, (ii) (X) such untrue statement or omission is corrected in an amendment or supplement to the prospectus and (Y) having previously been notified by the Company that such amended or supplemented prospectus has been filed with the SEC, such Purchaser thereafter fails to confirm that the prospectus as so amended or supplemented was deemed to be delivered prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale of a Registrable Share to the person asserting the claim from which such Loss resulted or (iii) such Purchaser sold Registrable Shares in violation of such Purchaser’s covenant contained in Section 7.6 of this Agreement.

(b)           Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement and each director of the Company), from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company (or any such officer, director or controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any breach of this Agreement by such Purchaser or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained

17

in the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in each case, on the effective date thereof, if, and to the extent, such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such Purchaser specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, and such Purchaser will reimburse the Company (and each of its officers, directors or controlling persons) for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 7.5(b) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds (net of the amount of any damages such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission) received by such Purchaser upon the sale of the Registrable Shares included in the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c)           Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 7.5, such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person and such indemnifying person shall have been notified thereof, such indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified person for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person; provided, further, that no indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and expense of more than one separate counsel for all indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not settle an action without the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d)           If after proper notice of a claim or the commencement of any action against the indemnified party, the indemnifying party does not choose to participate, then the indemnified party shall assume the defense thereof and upon written notice by the indemnified party requesting advance payment of a stated amount for its reasonable defense costs and expenses, the indemnifying party shall advance payment for such reasonable defense costs and expenses (the “Advance Indemnification Payment”) to the indemnified party.  In the event that the indemnified party’s actual defense costs and expenses exceed the amount of the Advance Indemnification Payment, then upon written request by the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for such difference; in the event that the Advance Indemnification Payment exceeds the indemnified party’s actual costs and expenses, the indemnified party shall promptly remit payment of such difference to the indemnifying party.

18

(e)           If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.5 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability 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, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by an indemnifying party (other than the Company) hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds (net of the amount of any damages such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission) received by such indemnifying party upon the sale of the Registrable Shares included in the Registration Statement or any Demand Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

7.6          Prospectus Delivery.  Each Purchaser hereby covenants with the Company not to make any sale of the Registrable Shares without complying with Section 8.3.  The Purchaser acknowledges that there may be times when the Company must suspend the use of the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement until such time as an amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the SEC, or until such time as the Company has filed an appropriate report with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act.  The Purchaser hereby covenants that it will not sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to said prospectus during the period commencing at the time at which the Company gives the Purchaser notice of the suspension of the use of said prospectus and ending at the time the Company gives the Purchaser notice that the Purchaser may thereafter effect sales pursuant to said prospectus; provided, that such suspension periods shall in no event exceed 30 days in any 12 month period and that, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company would, in the absence of such delay or suspension hereunder, be required under state or federal securities laws to disclose any corporate development, a potentially significant transaction or event involving the Company, or any negotiations, discussions, or proposals directly relating thereto, in either case the disclosure of which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Company or its stockholders; provided further, that the Company may suspend the use of the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement to the extent necessary to file any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement in order to amend the table of selling stockholders within the Registration Statement to reflect transfers of the Securities.

7.7          Termination of Obligations.  The obligations of the Company pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 7.3 hereof shall cease and terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) such time as all of the Registrable Shares have been resold, (b) such time as all of the Registrable Shares may be resold in a 90-day period pursuant to Rule 144, or (c) the second anniversary of the date the Registration Statement or Demand Registration Statement, as applicable, went effective.

7.8          Reporting Requirements.

(a)           With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that may at any time permit the sale of the Securities to the public without

19

registration or pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:

(i)            make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

(ii)           file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(iii)         so long as any of the Purchasers own Registrable Shares, to furnish to such Purchaser upon request (A) a written statement by the Company as to whether it is in compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or whether it is qualified as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to SEC Form S-3 and (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company.

7.9          Blue Sky.  The Company shall obtain and maintain all necessary blue sky law permits and qualifications, or secured exemptions therefrom, required by any state for the offer and sale of Securities.

7.10        Board of Directors.  Until the earlier of (i) March 31, 2008 and (ii) such time as MPM BioEquities Fund (“MPM”) holds a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that is less than 50% of the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by MPM at the Closing, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like (the “Expiration Date”), MPM will have the right to cause Kurt von Emster, or another representative or appointee of MPM who is reasonably acceptable to the Company’s Board of Directors, to be appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors.  Any such representative of MPM shall be (A) a Class II director if such representative is appointed to the Board during 2006; or (B) a member of the class of directors whose term expires at the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders following his or her appointment if such representative is appointed after December 31, 2006.

7.11        Observation Rights.  During any period prior to the Expiration Date when either (A) no representative of MPM is serving as a member of the Board or (B) a representative who is not affiliated with MPM but is agreed to by MPM is serving on the Board, the Company shall allow one representative designated by MPM to attend all meetings of the Company’s Board of Directors in a nonvoting capacity, and in connection therewith, the Company shall give such representative copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials, financial or otherwise, which the Company provides to its Board of Directors; provided, however, that the Company reserves the right to exclude such representative from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if the Company believes upon advice of counsel that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege, to protect highly confidential information or for other similar reasons.  The decision of the Board with respect to the privileged or confidential nature of such information shall be final and binding.  The obligations of the Company pursuant to this Sections 7.11 shall cease and terminate upon the Expiration Date.

20

7.12        Expenses.  The Company shall, at the Closing, reimburse the Purchasers’ reasonable expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the reasonable fees and expenses of Purchasers’ counsel, not to exceed $75,000 in the aggregate, as follows: first, the Company will reimburse MPM’s reasonable expenses in connection herewith and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for MPM, up to a maximum of $75,000; and, if such total fees and expenses are less than $75,000, then the Company shall use the remaining amount to reimburse the other Purchasers for the reasonable fees and expenses of such Purchasers’ counsel on a pro rata basis, based on the respective dollar amounts invested in the Shares by such other Purchasers.
