AGREEMENTS

Section 1.1 Board Composition Matters; 2011 Annual Meeting; SRC.

(a) Myrexis shall as promptly as practicable, and in any event by the close of business one (1) business day following the date on which all of the parties hereto shall have executed and delivered this Agreement, take all actions necessary (including the calling of a special meeting of the Board to approve such actions) to:

(i) expand the size of the Board to seven by adding one additional directorship, which shall be designated as a Class I Directorship, having a term ending at the 2013 Annual Meeting and the election of Class I Directors on the Board thereat; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent, limit or condition any further expansion of the Board by the addition of one or more additional directorships unless such expansion is for the purpose of adding one or more directors who are also employees of Myrexis or Affiliates or Associates (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of an employee or director of Myrexis (each such person, an “Employee Director”), in which case, upon such an expansion and the appointment of an Employee Director or Employee Directors, the parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect; and provided, further, that the replacement of one person who is an Employee Director with another person who is an Employee Director shall not constitute such an expansion which would result in termination of this Agreement; and

(ii) appoint Aryeh to (a) fill such newly created Class I Directorship and (b) become a member of the SRC.

(b) At the 2011 Annual Meeting, Myrexis shall re-nominate Robert Forrester (“Forrester”) and John T. Henderson (“Henderson”) for election as Class II Directors on the Board, each to serve in accordance with Myrexis’ Bylaws for a three-year term ending at the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders of Myrexis and their reelection or the election of their respective successors thereat, and shall solicit proxies for their election as Class II Directors on the Board at the 2011 Annual Meeting. The parties hereto acknowledge that Healthcare, by the MSMB Agreement, is withdrawing its nomination of two individuals for election as Class II Directors on the Board and irrevocably terminating the Solicitation. Aryeh hereby agrees to vote or cause to be voted all shares of Common Stock which he or any of his Affiliates holds of record or beneficially as of the record date for the 2011 Annual Meeting, for the election of Forrester and Henderson as Class II Directors of the Board at the 2011 Annual Meeting.

(c) Myrexis hereby represents and warrants that on May 26, 2011 the Board established and empowered the SRC, that Exhibit A hereto is an extract from the minutes of such meeting and that since such date the Board has not dissolved the SRC or rescinded or modified the resolutions set forth in such extract. Myrexis covenants and agrees that, prior to the completion of the 2013 Annual Meeting, the Board shall not dissolve the SRC, rescind or modify the resolutions set forth in such extract except to add Aryeh as a member of the SRC or form another committee with power and authority similar to the SRC.
