          4.24 To the Company’s knowledge, after due inquiry, and except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, there are no valid and enforceable rights of third parties to such Intellectual Property that are or would be infringed by the business currently conducted by the Company or in the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or import of its presently proposed products, as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus.
          4.25 The Company is not subject to any judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or any federal, state, local, foreign or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or any arbitrator. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, the Company is not a party to any contract, which restricts or impairs its use of any Intellectual Property.
          4.26 To the Company’s knowledge, after due inquiry, there are no ongoing infringements by others of any Intellectual Property owned by the Company in connection with the business currently conducted by the Company or its presently proposed products, as described in the Prospectus.
          4.27 Other than as disclosed in the Time of Sale Prospectus and except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, to the Company’s knowledge, after due inquiry, there is no U.S. patent or published U.S. patent application which contains valid and enforceable claims that dominate or that

          4.29 The Company is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which it is engaged; the Company has not been refused any insurance coverage previously held in the last year or customarily carried in the business in which it is engaged; and the Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect, except as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus.
          4.30 Except as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Company has not sold, issued or distributed any shares of Common Stock during the six-month period preceding the date hereof, including any sales pursuant to Rule 144A under, or Regulation D or S of, the Act, other than shares issued pursuant to employee benefit plans, qualified stock option plans or other employee compensation plans or arrangements, or pursuant to outstanding options, restricted stock units, rights or warrants.
          4.31 The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer. Such disclosure controls and procedures are sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are alerted to material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic reports required under the Exchange Act so as to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
          4.32 The Company maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

The Company has not since January 19, 2005 taken any action prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended.

Annex I - 9


 

          4.34 The Company has all necessary consents, authorizations, approvals, orders, certificates and permits of and from, and has made all required declarations and filings with, and complied with all formal recommendations of, all federal, state, local and other governmental authorities, all self-regulatory organizations and all courts and other tribunals, to own, lease, license and use its properties and assets and to conduct its business in the manner described in the Time of Sale Prospectus, including, without limitation, all necessary U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), independent data monitoring committee, and applicable foreign regulatory agency approvals and recommendations, except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Prospectus, and except to the extent that the failure to obtain such consents, authorizations, approvals, orders, certificates, permits, or to make such declarations or filings, or to follow such recommendations would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such consent, authorization, approval, order, certificate, permit or recommendation which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would have a Material Adverse Effect, except as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus.
          4.35 No investigational new drug (“IND”) application filed by or on behalf of the Company with the FDA has been terminated by the FDA, and none of the FDA, any independent data monitoring committee, or any applicable foreign regulatory agency has recommended, commenced, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened to initiate, any action to place a clinical hold order on, or otherwise delay or suspend, proposed or ongoing clinical investigations conducted or proposed to be conducted by or on behalf of the Company.
          4.36 To the best of the Company’s knowledge, all the operations of the Company and all the manufacturing facilities and operations of the Company’s suppliers of products and product candidates and the components thereof manufactured in or imported into the United States are in compliance with applicable FDA regulations, including current Good Manufacturing Practices, and meet sanitation standards set by the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938, as amended, and all the operations of the Company and all the manufacturing facilities and operations of the Company’s suppliers of products and product candidates manufactured outside, or exported from, the United States are in compliance with applicable foreign regulatory requirements and standards, except to the extent that the failure to be in compliance with such regulations and standards would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
          4.37 Except as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus, the clinical trials and the human and animal studies that are described in the Time of Sale Prospectus were and, if still pending, are being, conducted (to the knowledge of the Company with respect to such studies conducted by or on behalf of third parties) in accordance in all material respects with standard medical and scientific research procedures and all applicable rules, regulations and policies of the FDA, including the current Good Clinical Practices and Good Laboratory Practices, and all applicable foreign regulatory requirements and standards.

          5.1 The Company hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Investor, it will not, during the period (the “Lock-Up Period”) ending 90 days after the date of the Prospectus, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock; (ii) file any registration statement with the Commission relating to the offering of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock; or (iii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (A) the Shares, Warrants, or Warrant Shares to be sold hereunder, (B) the issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of an option or warrant, the vesting or settlement of any restricted stock units or other equity compensation awards or the conversion of a security, in each case outstanding on the date hereof; (C) the grant of options, restricted stock units or other equity compensation awards, or the issuance of shares of Common Stock by the Company to employees, officers, directors, advisors or consultants of the Company in each case either (x) pursuant to equity incentive and employee stock purchase plans described in the Prospectus or (y) as an inducement grant within the meaning of NASDAQ Rule 4350(i)(1)(iv) consistent with past practice, and the issuance by the Company of any shares of Common Stock upon the exercise, vesting or settlement of such equity compensation awards; or (D) the filing of any registration statement (x) on Form S-8 in respect of any equity compensation plans or arrangements maintained by the Company, (y) that the Company is contractually obligated to file pursuant to the terms of that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Investors Rights Agreement, dated December 16, 2004, by and among the Company and certain stockholders of the Company or (z) that the Company files pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof.
          5.2 Promptly following the Closing, the Company shall reimburse the Investor for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the expenses of counsel to the Investor (which fees shall include, without limitation, the fees and expenses associated with the negotiation, preparation and execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other transaction documents), up to a maximum of $75,000 for each of the Investors associated with [name of fund] and the Other Investors associated with [name of fund]. The Company and the Investor shall otherwise each pay the fees and expenses of their respective advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the sale and issuance of the Units to the Investor and issuance of the Warrant Shares.
          5.3
               (a) If all or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the issuance of the Warrant Shares or if the Warrant is exercised via cashless exercise more than twelve months after the issuance thereof at a time at which the Investor is not an Affiliate of the Company, the Warrant Shares issued pursuant to any such exercise shall be issued free of all legends.

Annex I - 11


 

               (b) Subject to Section 5.3(d), the Company shall use reasonable efforts to keep a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) registering the issuance of the Warrant Shares effective and available until the earlier of the first anniversary of the Closing or such time as all Warrant Shares have been issued.
               (c) Subject to Section 5.3(d), if all Warrant Shares have not been issued on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing, following a written request by the Investor on not more than three (3) occasions during any twelve month period, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) registering the issuance of the Warrant Shares to be effective and available within ten (10) Trading Days after such notice and to keep such registration statement effective and available until the earlier of twenty (20) Trading Days after such effectiveness and availability or such time as all Warrant Shares held by the Investor have been issued.
               (d) If following the date hereof the Registration Statement (or any subsequent registration statement registering the Warrant Shares) is not effective or is not otherwise available for the sale of the Warrant Shares during a period in which a registration statement is required to be effective and available pursuant to Section 5.3(b) or Section 5.3(c) (a “Registration Event”), (i) the Company shall promptly notify the holders of the Warrants in writing that such registration statement is not then effective or available and thereafter shall promptly notify such holders when a registration statement is effective again and available for the sale of the Warrant Shares and (ii) to the extent that there are Registration Events occurring (x) on more than an aggregate of sixty (60) days in the period required by Section 5.3(b) or (y) on more than an aggregate of five (5) Trading Days in each period required by Section 5.3(c), the Company will make payments to the Investor, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.0% of Fair Market Value (as defined in the Warrants and as determined on the last business day for each 30-day period (or pro rata for any portion thereof) for which such payment is due) multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares held by the Investor for each 30-day period (or pro rata for any portion thereof) following any Registration Events occurring on more than the time periods specified in clause (ii) above. The amounts payable as liquidated damages pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid monthly within five (5) Trading Days of the last day of each 30-day period (or pro rata for any portion thereof) following any Registration Events occurring on more than the time periods specified in clause (ii) above. Such payments shall constitute the Investor’s exclusive monetary remedy for such events, but shall not affect the right of the Investor to seek injunctive relief. Such payments shall be made to the Investor in cash. The twenty (20) Trading Day period specified in Section 5.3(c) shall be extended by the number of Trading Days on which there are Registration Events during such twenty (20) Trading Day period.
               (e) For purposes of this Section 5.3, the term “Trading Day” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Warrants.
     6. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Investor.
     The Investor acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company that:
          6.1 The Investor (a) is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making, and is qualified to make decisions with respect to, investments in securities presenting an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the Units, including investments in securities issued by the Company and investments in comparable companies, (b) has answered all questions on the Signature Page and the Investor Questionnaire and the answers thereto are true and correct as of the

Annex I - 12


 

date hereof and will be true and correct as of the Closing Date and (c) in connection with its decision to purchase the number of Units set forth on the Signature Page, has received and is relying only upon the Disclosure Package (including the documents incorporated by reference therein).
          6.2 (a) No action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction outside the United States by the Company that would permit an offering of the Units, or possession or distribution of offering materials in connection with the issue of the Securities in any jurisdiction outside the United States where action for that purpose is required, (b) if the Investor is outside the United States, it will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in each foreign jurisdiction in which it purchases, offers, sells or delivers Securities or has in its possession or distributes any offering material, in all cases at its own expense and (c) no agent of the Company has been authorized to make and no such agent has made any representation, disclosure or use of any information in connection with the issue, placement, purchase and sale of the Units, except as set forth in the Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or as set forth in or incorporated by reference in the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement or as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement.
          6.3 (a) The Investor has full right, power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and (b) this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and except as to the enforceability of any rights to indemnification or contribution that may be violative of the public policy underlying any law, rule or regulation (including any federal or state securities law, rule or regulation).
          6.4 The Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement, the Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or any other materials presented to the Investor in connection with the purchase and sale of the Units constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of Units. The Investor also understands that there is no established public trading market for the Warrants being offered in the Offering, and that the Company does not expect such a market to develop. In addition, the Company does not intend to apply for listing the Warrants on any securities exchange. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Warrants will be limited.

Each Investor covenants that it will not engage in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including Short Sales) or disclose any information about the Offering (other than to its advisors that are under a legal obligation of confidentiality) prior to the later of (a) the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed and (b) the open of regular trading on The NASDAQ Global Market on December 30, 2008. Each Investor agrees that it will not use any of the Securities acquired pursuant to this Agreement to cover any short position in the Common Stock if doing so would be in violation of applicable securities laws. For purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, whether or not against the box, and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sales contracts, options,

Annex I - 13


 

puts, calls, short sales, swaps, “put equivalent positions” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-US broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.
     7. Termination of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company and the Investor herein will terminate upon the delivery to the Investor of the Units being purchased and the payment therefor, other than the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 5 hereof.

[INVESTORS]
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     The undersigned understands that the recipients hereof (collectively, the “Investors”) propose to enter into Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with XenoPort, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the Company of shares (the “Shares”) of the Common Stock (par value $0.001 per share) of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) to the Investors.
     To induce the Investors to enter into the Purchase Agreements, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of each of the Investors, it will not, during the period (the “Lock-Up Period”) commencing on the date hereof and ending 90 days after the date of the final prospectus supplement relating to the Public Offering (the “Prospectus”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering; provided that no filing by any party under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Common Stock or other securities acquired in such open market transactions. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of each of the Investors, it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if the undersigned is an individual, the undersigned may transfer shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock by gift or gifts, will or intestacy to a member or members of his or her immediate family, to a trust formed for the benefit of any such person, or to a partnership, the partners of which are exclusively the undersigned and/or a member or members of his or her immediate family and/or a charity; (2) if the undersigned is a partnership, trust, corporation or similar entity, the undersigned may transfer or distribute shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock to its partners, limited liability company members or stockholders; (3) the undersigned may sell shares of Common Stock pursuant to an existing 10b5-1 plan which is

C-1


 

disclosed to each of the Investors prior to the date hereof; (4) the undersigned may enter into a 10b5-1 plan during the Lock-Up Period if sales under such plan do not occur until after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period; (5) the undersigned may “net” exercise outstanding options or warrants to purchase Common Stock in accordance with their terms; (6) the undersigned may transfer shares of Common Stock to the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations pursuant to Company equity compensation plans or arrangements; and (7) the undersigned may transfer shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock pursuant to a sale or an offer to purchase 100% of the outstanding Common Stock, whether pursuant to a merger, tender offer or otherwise, to a third party or group of third parties; provided, however, that in each of (1) and (2) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer or distribution that (i) the transferee execute a copy of this Lock-Up Agreement, (ii) no filing by any party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer or distribution (other than a filing on Form 5 made after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period), and (iii) no such transfer or distribution may include a disposition for value; and provided further that any Common Stock acquired upon the net exercise of options or warrants described in clause (5) above shall be subject to the restrictions imposed by this Lock-Up Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” means the spouse, domestic partner, lineal descendants, father, mother, brother or sister of the transferor.
     The undersigned understands that the Company and each of the Investors are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.
     Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to Purchase Agreements, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Investors.
     This Lock-Up Agreement shall lapse and become null and void if (a) no shares have been purchased and paid for pursuant to the Purchase Agreements by January 31, 2009 or (b) the Company notifies the Investors in writing that it does not intend to proceed with the Public Offering.
