THERAVANCE, INC.
2004 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE
PLAN
SECTION 1.
PURPOSE OF THE PLAN.
The Board adopted the Plan effective
as of the date of the IPO. The Plan shall be implemented on
such date following its effectiveness as shall be determined by the
Board in its discretion. The purpose of the Plan is to
provide Eligible Employees with an opportunity to increase their
proprietary interest in the success of the Company by purchasing
Stock from the Company on favorable terms and to pay for such
purchases through payroll deductions. The Plan is intended to
qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 423 of the
Code.
SECTION 2.
ADMINISTRATION OF THE
PLAN.
(a)
Committee Composition
. The
Committee shall administer the Plan. The Committee shall
consist exclusively of one or more directors of the Company, who
shall be appointed by the Board.
(b)
Committee Responsibilities
. The
Committee shall interpret the Plan and make all other policy
decisions relating to the operation of the Plan. The
Committee may adopt such rules, guidelines and forms as it deems
appropriate to implement the Plan. The Committee’s
determinations under the Plan shall be final and binding on all
persons.
SECTION 3.
STOCK OFFERED UNDER THE
PLAN.
(a)
Authorized Shares
. The
number of shares of Stock available for purchase under the Plan
shall be 1,475,000(1) (subject to adjustment pursuant to
Subsection (b) below).
(b)
Anti-Dilution
Adjustments . The
aggregate number of shares of Stock offered under the Plan, the
2,500-share limitation described in Section 8(c) and the
price of shares that any Participant has elected to purchase shall
be adjusted proportionately for any increase or decrease in the
number of outstanding shares of Stock resulting from a subdivision
or consolidation of shares or the payment of a stock dividend, any
other increase or decrease in such shares effected without receipt
or payment of consideration by the Company, the distribution of the
shares of a Subsidiary to the Company’s stockholders, or a
similar event.
(1) All share numbers
reflect the reverse stock split approved in connection with the
IPO. Reflects: a 300,000 share increase approved by the
stockholders on June 30, 2005; a 300,000 share increase approved by
the stockholders on April 22, 2008; and a 550,000 share increase
approved by the stockholders on April 24, 2009.
(c)
Reorganizations . Any other provision
of the Plan notwithstanding, immediately prior to the effective
time of a Corporate Reorganization, the Offering Period and
Accumulation Period then in progress shall terminate and shares
shall be purchased pursuant to Section 8, unless the Plan is
continued or assumed by the surviving corporation or its parent
corporation. The Plan shall in no event be construed to
restrict in any way the Company’s right to undertake a
dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or other
reorganization.
SECTION 4.
ENROLLMENT AND
PARTICIPATION.
(a)
Offering Periods . While the Plan is in
effect, two overlapping Offering Periods shall commence in each

(b)
Accumulation Periods

calendar year. The Accumulation Periods shall consist of the
six-month periods commencing on each May 16 and
November 16, except that:
(i)
Each Accumulation
Period shall commence on May 16 and November 16 and end
on the earliest of the next November 15 and May 15,
respectively, unless otherwise provided by the
Committee.
(ii)
The Committee may
determine that the first Accumulation Period applicable to the
Eligible Employees of a new Participating Company shall commence on
any date specified by the Committee.

Company. The enrollment form shall be filed at the prescribed
location not later than the day designated by the Company but in
any event prior to the commencement of the Offering
Period.
(d)
Duration of Participation
. Once

(ii)
Is deemed to
withdraw from the Plan under
Subsection (c) above;
2
(iii)

A Participant whose employee contributions were
discontinued automatically under Section 9(b) shall
automatically resume participation at the beginning of the earliest
Accumulation Period ending in the next calendar year, if he or she
then is an Eligible Employee. In all other cases, a former
Participant may again become a Participant, if he or she then is an
Eligible Employee, by following the procedure described in
Subsection (d) above.
(e)
Applicable Offering Period
. For
purposes of calculating the Purchase Price under Section 8(b),
the applicable Offering Period shall be determined as

Once a
Participant is enrolled in the Plan for an Offering Period, such
Offering Period shall continue to apply to him or her until the
earliest of (A) the end of such Offering Period, (B) the
end of his or her participation under
Subsection (e) above or (C) re-enrollment for a
subsequent Offering Period under Paragraph (ii), (iii) or
(iv) below.
(ii)
In the event that
the Fair Market Value of Stock on the last trading day before the
commencement of the Offering Period for which the Participant is
enrolled is higher than on the last trading day before the
commencement of any subsequent Offering Period, the Participant
shall automatically be re-enrolled for such subsequent Offering
Period.
(iii)
If
Section 14(b) applies, the Participant shall
automatically be re-enrolled for a new Offering Period.
(iv)
Any other
provision of the Plan notwithstanding, the Company (at its sole
discretion) may determine prior to the commencement of any new
Offering Period that all Participants shall be re-enrolled for such
new Offering Period.
(v)
When a
Participant reaches the end of an Offering Period but his or her
participation is to continue, then such Participant shall
automatically be re-enrolled for the Offering Period that commences
immediately after the end of the prior Offering Period.
