WHEREAS, as partial consideration
for certain obligations pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement,
the Purchaser and the Company have agreed that the Company will

”); and
WHEREAS, the Company and the
Purchaser are entering into this Agreement to reflect the terms and
conditions with respect to the Purchaser’s purchase of shares

NOW, THEREFORE, in respect of the
foregoing premises and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as set forth below. Any capitalized terms that
are not defined herein shall have the meaning defined for such term
in the Collaboration Agreement.
AGREEMENT
SECTION 1. PURCHASE OF
SHARES
1.1 Authorization of Sale .
On or prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company’s
Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) shall have
authorized the sale and issuance of the Shares and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein.
1.2 Purchase and Sale .
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
Collaboration Agreement, on the date hereof, the Company agrees to
sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from
the Company, 3,391,035 Shares (the “ Initial
Investment ”) at a purchase price per share of $2.21171,
in the case of the Initial Closing, or, in the case of a Subsequent
Closing (as defined below) at a price per common share equivalent
(based on the conversion ratio provided for in the applicable
Certificate of Designation, as adjusted) equal to one hundred ten
percent (110%) of the average closing price of the Common
Stock of the Company as reported on the NASDAQ stock market or such
other reporting service as the stock is then quoted if not then
quoted on NASDAQ (and if not then traded at the value determined by
an investment bank selected consistent with the provisions of
Section 14.3 of the Collaboration Agreement), for the ten
(10) consecutive trading days commencing five (5) trading
days immediately prior to the date the Company has publicly
announced the event that triggered such payment ( i.e. , the
P-Value Achievement, or in the case of such payment where there is
no P-Value Achievement, the Company’s first public
announcement of the results of the Second Interim Efficacy Analysis
or the first public announcement of the approval of an NDA for the
Product under Section 7.13 of the Collaboration Agreement (the
“ Announcement of Results ”)). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event will the price per common share
equivalent for the Shares issued in a Subsequent Closing (based on
the conversion ratio provided for in the applicable Certificate of
Designation, as adjusted) be less than $0.73724.
1.3 Purchase and Sale of
Additional Shares .
(A) The Company has granted the
Purchaser the right to purchase shares of Series B-2 Convertible
Preferred Stock and Series B-3 Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant
to the Collaboration Agreement. If the Purchaser exercises its
right to purchase such additional Shares then, subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to sell to the
Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company,
that number of Shares determined by dividing the amount of the
dollar investment by the Purchaser by the purchase price per share
calculated in accordance with Section 1.2 of this Agreement.
Each closing relating to the
-2-
purchase of Shares following the
Initial Closing shall be defined herein as a “Subsequent
Closing,” and the Initial Closing and the Subsequent Closings
shall be defined herein as the “ Closings
.”
(B) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in subsection 1.3(A), if the number of Shares
agreed to be purchased by the Purchaser at any Subsequent Closing,
when coupled with all other shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock owned by the Purchaser, would exceed the maximum
number of Shares allowed by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(B)
without the approval of a majority of the total votes cast on the
proposal by the stockholders of the Company, and such stockholder
approval has not yet been obtained prior to such Subsequent Closing
then at the relevant Closing, the Purchaser shall only be obligated
to purchase that number of Shares permissible without stockholder
approval under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(B). The Purchaser
shall thereafter be obligated to purchase any Shares originally
agreed to be purchased but not so purchased at such Closing due to
the provisions of the previous sentence, subject to reduction as
provided for in the next sentence, as promptly as practicable
following such time as stockholder approval has been obtained by
the Company (but in no event later than thirty (30) days
following such approval). If the Company’s stockholders do
not approve all purchases of Shares in accordance with NASDAQ
Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(B) on or before July 1, 2009, then
any pending or future obligations to purchase Shares under this
Agreement in excess of the maximum number of shares allowable under
NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(B) without stockholder approval
shall be terminated or disallowed and the amounts payable to the
Company under Sections 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and 7.13 of the Collaboration
Agreement shall be correspondingly reduced by the amount of money
the Purchaser was entitled to invest in the Company but could not
due to the limitations imposed by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule
4350(i)(1)(B) without any further obligation of the Purchaser to
provide such monies to the Company. By way of example, if under
Section 7.3(a)(ii)(x) of the Collaboration Agreement the
Purchaser receives notice of a Non-Futile Determination and the
Purchaser determines to continue its participation under the
Collaboration Agreement by paying to the Company $22,500,000,
including $5,000,000 in the form of an equity investment, but
because the Company has not yet received stockholder approval under
NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(B), the Purchaser can only
purchase $3,000,000 of Shares, then the Purchaser shall purchase
the $3,000,000 of Shares and the Purchaser’s obligation to
purchase the additional $2,000,000 of Shares shall be deferred
until such stockholder approval is obtained. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if such stockholder approval is not obtained by
July 1, 2009, then the Purchaser’s obligation under
Section 7.3(a)(ii)(x) of the Collaboration Agreement shall be
reduced from $22,500,000 to $20,500,000 and the Purchaser shall
have been deemed to satisfy in full its payment obligation to the
Company under such provision and if thereafter under
Section 7.4 of the Collaboration Agreement the Purchaser
receives notice of a P-Value Achievement, the Purchaser’s
payment obligation shall be reduced from $55,000,000 to $40,000,000
and the right to pay a portion of such amount by making an equity
investment shall be extinguished.
SECTION 2. CLOSING, DELIVERY AND
PAYMENT

initial closing of the sale and purchase of the Initial Investment
(the “ Initial Closing ”) shall take place on
