The Company

KaloBios is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of monoclonal antibody therapeutics for diseases that represent a significant burden to society and to patients and their families. We are developing patient-targeted, first-in-class medicines to treat serious medical conditions ( Figure 1 ). By focusing on disease-specific targets and patient selection criteria, we aim to provide patients with medicines that are safe and effective and offer innovative approaches to the current treatments. Our primary clinical focus is on respiratory diseases and cancer. We currently have two antibodies for the treatment of respiratory diseases scheduled to begin Phase 2 clinical trials in the third quarter of 2012 and early 2013 and one antibody in Phase 1 clinical testing for hematological malignancies. Our business model is to identify and develop products through proof-of-concept studies, and then seek partnerships for further development while retaining commercial rights in specialty or orphan indications.

Patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( Pa ) have a high mortality rate, with greater hospital utilization costs. Chronic infection with Pa is a leading contributor to respiratory deterioration that, in individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), ultimately leads to respiratory failure and death. Our first antibody, KB001-A (a Humaneered™, recombinant Fab´ antibody fragment), is being developed for the prevention and treatment of Pa infections. VAP caused by Pa infection in patients receiving mechanical ventilation ( Pa VAP) and CF patients with chronic Pa lung colonization each represents a significant market opportunity for KB001-A. In January 2010, we entered into an agreement granting Sanofi Pasteur (Sanofi), the vaccines division of the Sanofi Group, exclusive worldwide rights to develop KB001-A for all indications, the lead indication being the prevention of Pa VAP. We retained the right to study KB001-A in CF patients. Under this agreement, Sanofi can elect to exercise its option for certain development and commercial rights to the CF indication based on pre-negotiated terms, at any time up to 90 days after the conclusion of our Phase 2 clinical trial. We are preparing to launch a randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 clinical trial in CF, to investigate the efficacy and safety of KB001-A, by early 2013.

Worldwide, asthma impacts more than 300 million people. We are developing our second antibody, KB003 (a Humaneered™, recombinant, anti-granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (anti-GM-CSF) IgG1κ monoclonal antibody), for the treatment of asthma inadequately controlled by corticosteroids, an indication that needs better treatment options. Severe asthma not well treated with current standard therapies comprises approximately 10% of the asthma population in the United States, Europe, and Japan. We plan to launch a Phase 2 clinical trial in individuals with asthma inadequately controlled by corticosteroids in the third quarter of 2012.

Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide and the second leading cause of death in the United States. The National Institutes of Health estimates that the cost of medical treatment for cancer will be $158 billion in the year 2020. Our third antibody, KB004, is a Humaneered™, recombinant antibody directed against EphA3 receptor tyrosine kinase, which is an oncofetal antigen involved in the development and maturation of cells and is expressed on the surface of hematologic and solid tumor cells and the stem cell microenvironment but not on normal cells. As a result, we believe KB004 has the potential to be a novel approach to treating both hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. KB004 is currently in Phase 1 clinical development.

We have an early-stage antibody program, KB005, which may have application in asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), inflammatory bowel disease, and hypereosinophilic syndrome.

KaloBios Patient-Targeted Therapies

 

LOGO

All our antibodies were generated using our proprietary Humaneered™ technology, a method that converts nonhuman antibodies (typically mouse) into engineered, human antibodies that have a high binding affinity to their target and are designed for chronic therapeutic use. We believe that antibodies produced with our Humaneered™ technology offer important clinical and economic advantages over antibodies generated by other methods, in terms of high binding affinity, high manufacturing yields, and minimal to no immunogenicity (undesired immune response) upon repeat administration.

With each of our antibody programs, we take a patient-targeted approach by developing a prognostic screen or diagnostic to identify those most likely to benefit from our therapies. We believe this targeted approach will result in an enhanced treatment benefit, reduce the overall cost and risk associated with clinical development, and ultimately provide therapies that are safer and more effective than current treatments.

Our company was incorporated in California on March 15, 2000 and reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in 2001. We are located in South San Francisco, California and as of May 31, 2012 have 19 full-time employees, in development and administration.

Strategy

Our goal is to become a leading biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of first-in-class, patient-targeted, monoclonal antibody therapeutics that address serious medical needs. Key elements of our strategy are to:

 

   

Advance the clinical development of our lead product candidates, KB001-A in CF and KB003;

 

   

Enter into partnership arrangements with leading pharmaceutical companies while retaining rights to specialty or orphan indications, which can be readily addressed by a focused sales force; and

 

   

Focus on indications where patient selection is guided by tests that prospectively indicate which subjects are likely to respond positively to our drug, thereby reducing clinical trial costs and increasing the likelihood of success and reimbursement.

Industry

The introduction of biologic therapeutics over the last 20 years has had a dramatic impact on many areas of medicine, from infectious, inflammatory, autoimmune, and respiratory diseases to hematology and oncology. The efficacy and safety of such biologic drugs has driven impressive market growth, with worldwide sales in 2010 of $138 billion. EvaluatePharma data indicate that therapeutic monoclonal antibody products are the most rapidly growing sector in biopharmaceuticals, with 2010 global sales of greater than $48 billion and expected 2015 global sales approaching $80 billion. Thirty antibody products have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and international regulatory authorities, and more than 120 antibodies are in various stages of clinical development. According to a 2010 study by Tufts University, antibody products have shown a 2.5 times higher probability of successful clinical development as compared to small-molecule drugs.

Product Development Programs: KB001-A

Overview

KB001-A, a Humaneered™, high-affinity monoclonal antibody fragment, is being developed for the prevention and treatment of infections by Pa , a gram-negative bacterium that may cause pneumonia in mechanically ventilated patients and chronic respiratory infections in individuals with CF. In January 2010, we licensed rights to KB001-A to Sanofi, retaining the rights for development of a CF therapeutic subject to Sanofi’s right to opt in. Sanofi plans to develop and commercialize KB001-A for the prevention and/or treatment of Pa VAP. We received an up-front payment of $35 million from Sanofi in 2010 and an additional $5 million in 2011. Further, our agreement provides us with the potential to receive additional contingent payments from Sanofi of up to an aggregate of $250 million on achievement of certain clinical, regulatory, and commercial events, as well as royalty payments on commercial Pa VAP sales of KB001-A. We plan to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial of KB001-A in Pa -infected CF patients by early 2013. Sanofi can elect to opt into the program in accordance with pre-negotiated terms at any time within 90 days after the conclusion of the Phase 2 clinical trial for ex-U.S. rights or for worldwide rights and a profit-sharing arrangement with us in the United States.

We have an exclusive license for the intellectual property rights related to the drug target and method to prevent and treat Pa , as well as the lead mouse antibody, from the University of California at San Francisco and the Medical College of Wisconsin.

Market Opportunities

Treatment and Prevention of Pa Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia

According to Decision Resources, there are approximately 500,000 acute Pa hospital infections in the United States, with the highest percentage represented by mechanically ventilated patients. Patients on mechanical ventilation for longer than 48 hours are at increased risk for endotracheal tube Pa colonization and subsequent development of Pa VAP. VAP occurs in approximately 25% of mechanically ventilated patients, with Pa estimated to be the cause of more than 140,000 VAP infections each year in the United States, Japan, and Europe. The mortality of VAP is estimated at 20% to 40% despite treatment with antibiotics. In the United States, VAP survivors spend an average of 8 days in the intensive care unit (ICU), at a cost of approximately $50,000 per admission. U.S. hospitals, under pressure to reduce government reimbursement and faced with increased requirements for public disclosure, have strong incentive to reduce the incidence of VAP. We believe the worldwide market for KB001-A for the prevention and treatment of Pa VAP to be approximately $1 billion annually.

Chronic Pa Infections in Cystic Fibrosis

CF, the most common genetic disease in Caucasians, is characterized by a thick, sticky mucus buildup, most critically in the lungs. The median life expectancy for those with CF in the United States is only 37.4 years. The most common causes of death are related to CF lung deterioration, believed to be caused predominantly by chronic infection with Pa , the most prevalent pathogen found in the lungs of individuals with CF. The prevalence of chronic Pa infection in the CF population increases with age, with positive respiratory tract cultures in 20% to 30% of infants, 30% to 40% of children aged 2 to 10 years, 60% of adolescents, and approximately 80% of adults. Once individuals with CF are chronically infected with Pa, typically as teenagers, their lung function slowly deteriorates over time at a rate of 2% to 4% per year, with gradual loss of lung function leading to death. Chronic Pa infection is associated with greater morbidity and mortality, with earlier onset associated with a more severe loss of lung function and shorter life expectancy. There are approximately 1,000 new cases of CF each year in the United States, with a prevalence of approximately 30,000 individuals in the United States and 70,000 worldwide. We estimate that CF represents a market potential for KB001-A of $250 million to $500 million annually in the United States and Europe.

Background and Mechanism of Action

We believe KB001-A has a novel mechanism of action versus currently approved antibiotic treatments for Pa infections. Based on our studies, KB001-A directly blocks the means by which Pa causes serious lung infection but, unlike antibiotics, does not directly kill the bacterium. Instead, KB001-A binds to and blocks the function of the PcrV protein. The PcrV protein is an extracellular component of the type III secretion system (TTSS) which enables the bacterium to kill epithelial and immune cells either by direct puncture (oncosis) or injection of protein toxins. Free toxins also promote the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines leading to more tissue damage. Blocking PcrV function prevents immune cell killing by Pa and reduces inflammatory cytokine release. The mechanism of action of KB001-A is illustrated in Figure 2 . The KB001-A molecule has been optimized as a Fab´ fragment rather than as a full antibody so that it does not activate immune response and exacerbate inflammation. To extend its time in the bloodstream and protect against breakdown by Pa , polyethylene glycol (PEG) was added to the KB001-A molecule, which is a process called PEGylation.

We believe the possibility for Pa to develop resistance to KB001-A is low because, unlike current antibiotics to which the bacteria develop resistance, KB001-A neutralizes or detoxifies Pa rather than killing it. Thus, KB001-A is not subject to “selective pressure” drug resistance mechanisms that affect antibiotics. KB001-A protects the host immune cells from Pa , thereby enabling the natural clearance mechanism to fight disease. In animal experiments, anti-PcrV antibodies such as KB001-A demonstrated an ability to protect the immune system and allow it to remove or kill the bacteria. Because this mechanism is different from existing treatments, KB001-A may also work in conjunction with existing CF therapies such as inhaled antibiotics and mucolytics, as well as newer CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators.

Anti-PcrV Preclinical Activity Summary

In preclinical studies, anti-PcrV antibodies protected rats, mice, and rabbits from a lethal challenge of live Pa delivered directly into the airways. Bacteria were cleared from the lungs of infected animals within 48 hours of dosing with antibodies. Tobramycin, ciprofloxacin, and ceftazidime, representing three different classes of antibiotics that directly kill bacteria, have been shown to work in combination with anti-PcrV antibodies in acute Pa infection models in mice, which we believe supports their use with anti-PcrV antibodies in clinical trials. Anti-PcrV antibodies have also been shown to enhance the activity of the antibiotic imipenem against imipenem-resistant Pa lung infection in neutropenic mice. This suggests that some antibiotics that are ineffective due to drug resistance mechanisms could be effective when dosed in combination with KB001-A. It is also encouraging that neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, may not be essential for the protective effect of the antibody because some patients may be neutropenic due to their underlying disease or treatment.

In a chronic Pa lung infection animal model, anti-PcrV antibodies reduced the level of inflammatory cytokines in the lungs compared to untreated control animals. This model demonstrated the anti-inflammatory action of anti-PcrV antibodies during chronic Pa lung infection and the potential of this approach in the treatment of chronic Pa lung infection in CF.

KB001-A Clinical Development Program

We have completed three clinical trials with KB001 (the predecessor molecule to KB001-A, as described in more detail below). A Phase 1 trial in 15 healthy adult volunteers showed that KB001 was well tolerated in humans, with no immunogenicity, dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), or drug-related serious adverse events (SAEs) observed. We subsequently completed two Phase 1/2 trials of KB001, one in France in Pa -colonized, ventilator-supported patients hospitalized in ICUs, and one in the United States in individuals with CF who are infected with Pa . Table 1 summarizes the clinical development for KB001.

We are developing KB001-A as the successor antibody to KB001. KB001-A and KB001 bind to the same target site and have been shown to be functionally comparable. KB001-A is a slight modification to KB001 but is more efficient to produce, thus reducing manufacturing cost. We are currently conducting animal toxicity studies to demonstrate the safety of KB001-A. We plan to meet with the FDA regarding comparability and safety of KB001-A prior to initiating our Phase 2 clinical trial in CF, which we plan to initiate by early 2013. All future clinical and preclinical studies will be conducted using KB001-A.

Pa VAP Treatment and Prevention Clinical Development Program

Our Phase 1/2 study of KB001, the precursor to KB001-A, for the treatment and prevention of Pa pneumonia was designed to assess safety and tolerability. The trial design required lab culture screens to select subjects colonized with Pa , who were then randomized into three treatment groups: standard of care medications only (control group), standard of care co-administered with low-dose KB001, and standard of care co-administered with high-dose KB001.

KB001 was well tolerated, with no drug-related SAEs, and there was a greater trend toward prevention of Pa pneumonia versus standard of care, with a reduction in the occurrence of Pa pneumonia by nearly 50% 28 days following a single dose of KB001 10 mg/kg ( Figure 3 ).

Our partner, Sanofi, plans to continue the development of KB001-A in Pa -VAP with a Phase 1 intravenous pharmacokinetic and safety clinical trial, followed by a Phase 2 intravenous study to determine the safety and efficacy of KB001-A in preventing Pa -VAP. The Phase 2 study, along with a subsequent Phase 3 study, may serve as the basis for registration of KB001-A in the prevention of Pa -VAP. Because Sanofi has exclusive rights for the development of Pa -VAP, we do not have control over the conduct or timing of the studies for this indication. For additional information, see “Licensing and Collaborations.”

Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Development Program

We conducted a Phase 1/2 trial in individuals with CF and chronic Pa respiratory infection to assess the safety and tolerability of KB001. In this single-dose study, KB001 was found to be safe, with no drug-related SAEs. When sputum samples were assessed, KB001-treated groups (10 mg/kg) showed a trend toward reduction in inflammation biomarkers, with a statistically significant, short-term reduction in neutrophil elastase and IL-1 ( Table 2 ). Neutrophil elastase is of particular clinical interest because not only is it a marker of inflammation, it is also believed to be the cause of some of the irreversible lung damage in CF. A single dose of KB001 caused a reduction in neutrophil elastase similar to 14 days of hospital treatment with intravenous antibiotics given for exacerbation of CF. For the 10mg/kg group, a significant reduction from placebo was noted at day 28 for neutrophils in sputum. This trend toward reduction in inflammatory biomarkers is consistent with the activity of anti-PcrV treatment in a chronic disease model of Pa lung infection in mice, which caused a reduction in lung neutrophils and inflammatory cytokines.

We plan to build on our KB001 CF clinical study experience by developing KB001-A as a treatment to reduce lung inflammation in CF patients with chronic Pa infection. If cleared by the FDA, we plan to enroll 150 such subjects in a 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, repeat-dose, Phase 2 trial of KB001-A administered monthly by intravenous infusion. The primary endpoint will be time to need for antibiotics to treat worsening of respiratory tract signs and symptoms, with secondary endpoints of changes in inflammatory markers, respiratory symptoms, subject-reported outcomes, changes in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV 1 , a measure of lung function), PK, safety, and tolerability. All subjects will receive standard inhaled antibiotic therapy during the first 4 study weeks, concurrently with doses of KB001-A or placebo through week 12. The trial will be conducted primarily in North America, in conjunction with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutic Development Network.

Data from this trial will be used to support pivotal trials of a subcutaneous formulation of KB001-A. We anticipate that two Phase 3 trials as well as subcutaneous bridging evaluations will be required for registration of KB001-A in CF. The pivotal program would be dose ranging in nature and designed to support the approval of subcutaneous KB001-A for the management of respiratory Pa infection , either as a monotherapy or in combination with inhaled antibiotics.

Current inhaled antibiotics acutely improve FEV 1 ; however, these treatments do not change the overall rate of lung function deterioration. Chronic use of KB001-A has the potential to reduce the inflammation caused by Pa and therefore slow the decline in FEV 1 . Demonstration of a disease-modifying effect may be pursued following regulatory approval for a first CF indication.

The concept of using an anti-inflammatory drug as a disease-modifying therapy in CF has been tested clinically. Clinical trials of an anti-inflammatory drug (ibuprofen) have shown that the steady deterioration over years of lung function (the leading cause of death) can be altered with chronic use. However, this therapy is not approved by the FDA for use in CF. The ibuprofen doses needed are so high that patients must be monitored carefully for adverse effects. We believe KB001-A has the potential of being disease-modifying because it may act as a safe anti-inflammatory agent to reduce the rate of lung deterioration.

Product Development Programs: KB003

Overview

KB003 is a Humaneered™, monoclonal antibody that targets and neutralizes human granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), with potential for use in inflammatory and autoimmune indications. GM-CSF is an important part of an inflammatory cascade that stimulates white blood cells (granulocytes, including eosinophils, neutrophils, and macrophages) and maintains them in an active state during infection. However, excessive GM-CSF is thought to play a key role in tissue damage associated with inflammatory diseases including asthma and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The results of anti-GM-CSF in ex vivo studies suggest KB003 has potential in treating asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), RA, multiple sclerosis (MS), and certain oncology applications.

Data from our single-dose, Phase 1/2 clinical trials with monoclonal antibody KB002, the chimeric predecessor to the Humaneered™ KB003, support our clinical trials with KB003. In these studies, KB002 was safe and well tolerated. KB003 targets the same binding site as KB002 and has been shown to be functionally similar and safe in our early clinical trials. After discussions with the FDA regarding transitioning our anti-GM-CSF clinical development program from KB002 to KB003, we initiated a repeat-dose, Phase 2 clinical trial with KB003 in RA. On completing the run-in safety portion of this trial, which showed KB003 to be safe and well tolerated with no clinically significant adverse events, we reassessed the increasingly competitive and crowded RA market and chose to redirect our study of KB003 to asthma inadequately controlled by corticosteroids. We are planning to initiate a randomized, Phase 2 clinical trial of asthma inadequately controlled by corticosteroids in the third quarter of 2012.

We licensed KB002, a low picomolar affinity, novel chimeric antibody, from the Ludwig Institute in 2004. KB003 is a Humaneered™ version of the KB002 antibody, with the same epitope target and therefore the same mechanism of action. We plan to use KB003 for all future clinical studies.

Market Opportunity for GM-CSF Inhibitors

Severe Asthma

We are targeting asthma patients who are nonresponsive to standard of care inhaled corticosteroids and beta agonists as the first indication for KB003 because of the high unmet medical need. Asthma is a respiratory condition in which pulmonary airways become inflamed and constricted, usually in response to one or more environmental triggers. Although serious and potentially fatal if left untreated, asthma usually can be managed with drug therapy and by avoiding disease triggers. More than 300 million people suffer from asthma, representing global sales of more than $17 billion annually. Though severe asthma represents approximately 10% of this market, with prevalence in the United States, Europe, and Japan, it is responsible for more than 50% of asthma hospitalization costs. At least half of those with severe asthma are believed to suffer from non-allergic asthma.

Asthma treatments currently available on the market, such as long-acting beta agonists (LABAs), inhaled corticosteroids, and omalizumab (anti-igE), are often ineffective for more severe cases of asthma. The monoclonal antibody, omalizumab, is limited to treatment of moderate to severe, allergic asthma in patients with positive immunoglobulin E (IgE). Other monoclonal antibodies in clinical development predominantly target allergic rather than non-allergic asthma. Because anti-GM-CSF treatment reduces the activity of the eosinophils or neutrophils that predominate in both types of asthma, KB003 has the potential to treat both allergic and non-allergic severe asthma.

Background and Mechanism of Action

Two main forms of asthma exist: allergic or atopic asthma, characterized by the presence of large numbers of eosinophils in pulmonary airways, and non-allergic or non-atopic asthma, in which neutrophils predominate. Because GM-CSF plays an important role in the differentiation, proliferation, and enhanced survival of both inflammatory cell types ( Figure 4 ), we believe reduction of excess GM-CSF is a potentially effective treatment for severe asthma. We believe KB003 is unique among antibodies being developed to treat asthma because it reduces inflammation caused by both eosinophils and neutrophils, thus acting on both the allergic and non-allergic forms of asthma. Diagnosed cases of asthma are believed to be divided approximately equally between both types. Because available therapies for severe asthma treat predominantly allergic asthma, KB003 may provide a clinical and commercial advantage by treating both allergic and non-allergic severe asthma.

Anti-GM-CSF Preclinical Activity Summary

Data from animal studies support the neutralization of GM-CSF for the treatment of allergic and non-allergic asthma. Mice sensitized to allergens respond to allergen challenge with a large increase in eosinophils in their lungs. Mutant mice lacking the GM-CSF gene are unable to mount an eosinophilic response, suggesting that GM-CSF is essential for increasing eosinophils in allergic asthma. Similarly, allergen-sensitized mice treated with anti-GM-CSF antibody show a reduction in eosinophils in the lungs following allergen challenge. In regard to non-allergic asthma, mice challenged with intranasal bacterial extract experience neutrophilic cell infiltration into their lungs. Treatment with an anti-GM-CSF antibody prevents this neutrophil infiltration. These data demonstrate the importance of GM-CSF in eosinophil and neutrophil recruitment into the lungs in allergic and non-allergic asthma.

In humans, GM-CSF levels are elevated in sputum taken from individuals with severe asthma but not mild asthma. A source of this GM-CSF appears to be lung epithelial cells. Lung epithelial cells isolated from individuals with asthma make and secrete GM-CSF, whereas similar cells from those without asthma do not. One function of lung GM-CSF in severe asthma may be to prevent the death (apoptosis) of activated eosinophils and neutrophils, which typically die off in a few days. In vitro studies have demonstrated that GM-CSF is effective at preventing cell death of human neutrophils and eosinophils for prolonged periods of time.

KB003 Clinical Development Program

We have completed seven early-stage clinical trials with intravenous KB002, the predecessor chimeric anti-GM-CSF antibody, and intravenous KB003, our Humaneered™ antibody ( Table 3 ). Our Phase 1/2 clinical trials in RA and asthma with KB002 showed the antibody to be safe and well tolerated, and generated activity data to support continued development in both indications. We plan to use information from those clinical trials to guide the development of KB003. KB003, a Humaneered™ antibody designed to be less immunogenic than KB002, will be used for all future clinical trials. KB003 was tested in a Phase 1, single-dose study in healthy adult volunteers and in the repeat-dose, safety run-in portion of a planned Phase 2 study in subjects with RA. There were no safety concerns in these studies. The main portion of the KB003 RA study was not initiated because we made the decision not to pursue the RA market because it was becoming increasingly competitive in an already crowded market. Instead, we intend to continue the development of KB003 with a randomized, Phase 2 clinical trial in inadequately controlled asthma.

Table 3 summarizes completed clinical trials with KB002 and KB003.

In the KB002 Phase 1/2 RA study, which randomized 32 subjects (3:1, active vs. placebo) to four escalating dose groups, a single dose of KB002 was found to be safe and well tolerated, with no drug-related SAEs. Higher KB002 dose groups demonstrated an early, durable, and clinically meaningful reduction in swollen and tender joints (Disease Activity Score at Day 28 (DAS28), a measure of swollen and tender joints), an effect that persisted for more than 90 days. While we have decided not to pursue additional trials in RA at this time, these data add support to the safety and activity of KB002 and the further development of KB003.

The KB002 Phase 1/2 asthma study, which enrolled both allergic (eosinophilic) and non-allergic (neutrophilic) asthma subjects, randomized 24 subjects 2:1, active versus placebo. KB002 was found to be safe and well tolerated. Assessments of lung function, PK, and biomarkers that correlate with lung function were encouraging enough for us to decide to proceed with a repeat-dose, Phase 2 clinical trial of KB003 in this indication. The FDA has cleared our Phase 2 protocol and in the third quarter of 2012, we plan to initiate a randomized, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 clinical trial in asthma inadequately controlled with corticosteroids, enrolling 150 subjects randomized equally between KB003 and placebo. Eligible subjects will be screened for a history of asthma uncontrolled by high-dose inhaled corticosteroids, FEV 1 function, and Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) scores. Subjects will receive intravenous doses of KB003 or placebo at multiple time points through study week 20. The primary endpoint will be change in FEV 1 through week 24. Secondary endpoints include exacerbation, effect on asthma control, asthma symptoms, use of rescue therapy, and safety.

If this Phase 2 trial meets our clinical endpoints, we plan to conduct a bridging study to switch from an intravenous to a subcutaneous formulation. After completion of the bridging study, we plan to conduct a Phase 3 trial with the subcutaneous formulation of KB003 that will be designed to support regulatory approval for the treatment of asthma inadequately controlled by corticosteroids.

Product Development Programs: KB004

Overview

KB004 is a novel monoclonal antibody that binds to EphA3 receptor tyrosine kinase for the treatment of cancer. EphA3 plays an important role in cell positioning and tissue organization during fetal development but is not thought to play a significant role in healthy adults. However, EphA3 is aberrantly expressed on the tumor cell surface in a number of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors, as well as expressed on the stem cell compartment. This compartment includes malignant stem cells, the vasculature that feeds them, and the stromal cells that protect them. Given this expression pattern, KB004 may have the potential to kill cancer cells and the source of the cancer, the stem cell microenvironment, providing for long-term responses while sparing normal cells. We are currently conducting a Phase 1 clinical trial of KB004 in multiple hematologic malignancies.

KB004 is a Humaneered™, monoclonal antibody in which the carbohydrate chains lack fucose, thereby enhancing the targeted cell-killing activity of the antibody. We have an exclusive license to the rights to the KB004 prototype and the EphA3 intellectual property, granted by the Ludwig Institute in 2006.

Market Opportunity for Hematologic Malignancies and Solid Tumors

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and the second leading cause of death in the United States. The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that in 2010 more than 1.5 million people in the United States were newly diagnosed with cancer and more than 560,000 died from the disease. The ACS also estimates that one in every four deaths in the United States is due to cancer. Five common solid cancer types (non–small cell lung, breast, ovarian, prostate and colorectal) represent more than 50% of all new cases of cancer in the United States each year and account for more than 50% of all cancer deaths in the United States. More than 100,000 people were diagnosed with a hematologic malignancy in 2010 in the United States.

The increasing number of cancer diagnoses and the approval of new cancer treatments are expected to continue to fuel the growth of the worldwide market for cancer drugs. Products targeting specific cancer-related molecules are the fastest-growing market segment in the pharmaceutical industry and are driving much of the cancer market growth. Data Monitor forecasts a compound annual growth rate of up to 9.8% between 2008 and 2018 and estimated worldwide sales of approximately $45 billion in 2018.

Background and Mechanism of Action

KB004 is a high-affinity, non-fucosylated antibody that can potentially kill tumor cells in three ways: (1) direct induction of programmed cell death (apoptosis), (2) enhanced (via non-fucosylation) antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity, or (3) disruption of the tumor vasculature by binding to EphA3 on the endothelial cells that line the vasculature.

EphA3 is expressed in some hematologic malignancies including acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), multiple myeloma (MM), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It is also expressed on some tumor stromal cells and endothelial cells in the vascular compartment in the majority of solid tumors. The expression of EphA3 in a wide variety of human tumors and tumor vasculature and on stem cells, with restricted expression in normal tissue, as well as the multiple mechanisms to kill tumors, makes this protein a promising target for anticancer therapy.

Anti-EphA3 Preclinical Activity Summary

In ex vivo testing, we found EphA3 expressed in approximately half of early-stage leukemia patient samples. Cancer cells are killed by KB004 binding to EphA3 through apoptosis, or ADCC, at relatively low concentrations. KB004 ex vivo selectively targets and kills leukemic stem cells, but not normal hematopoietic stem cells. In ex vivo assays of these cells, KB004 appears to kill all cells expressing EphA3. Whenever AML stem cells were detected, uniform killing of these stem cells by KB004 was observed. This is significant because killing stem cells may lead to durable responses in cancers and potentially may prove effective in delaying or preventing relapses in the post-transplant setting, an area of high unmet medical need.

EphA3 expression has been documented in multiple solid tumor types of cancer, including melanoma, breast, non-small cell lung, colon, renal, glioblastoma and prostate cancers. EphA3 expression in colorectal cancer is a marker of poor prognosis.

To date, anti-EphA3 has shown encouraging preclinical proof-of-concept results in multiple tumor models. The xenograft studies we conducted show that the anti-EphA3 antibody causes growth inhibition in EphA3-positive tumors, as well as in tumors that do not express EphA3 (the latter presumably through the effect on tumor vasculature).

We completed a 14-week, multiple-dose, preclinical toxicology study of KB004 and found no DLTs in doses up to 100 mg/kg/week.

KB004 Clinical Development Program

We are currently conducting the Phase 1 portion of a Phase 1/2 program in hematologic malignancies for KB004. The study is composed of subjects with AML, CML, MDS, MPN, MM, CLL, or ALL and is designed as a dose-escalation study to determine a maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety and the PK profile for KB004. Doses will be escalated until a MTD is determined. Subjects are dosed weekly for 3 weeks to constitute one 21-day cycle, and may be treated for up to 1 year. Subjects may continue dosing until disease progression or safety finding precludes further safe dosing. Bone marrow aspirate and biopsy specimens are assessed throughout the study for disease status and biomarker development.

Of the first 6 subjects treated, infusion reactions (chills and shivering) were observed in 4 subjects. All reactions were resolved with standard treatment. One DLT at 70 mg was observed and three other SAEs were observed in 4 subjects, two of which were fatal intracranial hemorrhages.

Bleeding is typical in late-stage AML patients and intracranial hemorrhages are the second leading cause of death in these patients. The rate of fatal bleeding events observed in the trial was higher than expected but, given the small sample size, confounding factors (e.g., fever, elevated white blood cell count, platelet-dependent thrombocytopenia), late-stage disease, and the fact that little to no drug was present in the blood at the time of the SAEs in most cases, it is inconclusive whether the events were related to the drug. Two of the three events were deemed possibly related to study drug by the study investigator. We proactively informed the FDA of these SAEs and the FDA agreed with our revised plan to continue the study with a less sick population. Future trials will have an emphasis in recruiting subjects less likely to have disease-related bleeding complications. Following this revision and as of May 31, 2012, 6 subjects have been enrolled at the lowest dose level and there have been no additional events of intracranial hemorrhage. In early 2013, we hope to select a recommended dose for the Phase 2 portion of this trial, which will screen subjects for EphA3 expression.

Early-Stage Program

KB005 is a Humaneered™, monoclonal antibody that targets and depletes eosinophils, an activity that may have application in subsets of severe allergic asthma (such as aspirin-sensitive asthma), chronic rhinosinusitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, COPD, inflammatory bowel disease, and hypereosinophilic syndrome. The initial clinical indication is likely to be treatment of patients with nasal polyps who have chronic rhinosinusitis or aspirin-sensitive asthma. We have demonstrated that a KB005 precursor antibody eliminates circulating eosinophils in in vivo animal studies.

Technology Platform

Our proprietary Humaneered™ technology is a method for converting antibodies (typically mouse) into engineered, high-affinity human antibodies designed for therapeutic use, particularly for chronic conditions. The technology produces optimized antibodies that retain specificity for the target epitope. Because their sequences are very close to those of human germ-line antibodies, we believe Humaneered™ antibodies will produce fewer immunological adverse side effects in patients than chimeric or conventionally humanized antibodies. We develop or in-license targets or research (mouse) antibodies, typically from academic institutions, and then apply our Humaneered™ technology to them. KB001-A, KB003, KB004 and KB005 are all Humaneered™ antibodies or antibody fragments.

In April 2007, we granted Novartis a nonexclusive license to our proprietary Humaneered™ technology after successfully applying our Humaneered™ technology to several antibodies for them. Under the license agreement, Novartis is now able to develop Humaneered™ antibodies to create its own therapeutics. We have also successfully completed Humaneered™ projects for five United States and Japanese biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to demonstrate the robustness and versatility of the technology.

Capabilities and Advantages of Humaneered™ Technology

Our proprietary and patented Humaneered™ technology provides the following advantages:

 

   

Retention of identical target epitope specificity of the starting antibody, and frequent generation of higher affinity antibodies;

 

   

Very near to human germ-line sequence, which means it is less likely to induce an inappropriate immune response in broad patient populations when used chronically;

 

   

Antibodies with excellent physiochemical properties, facilitating process development and formulation (lack of aggregation at high concentration);

 

   

High antibody expression yields; and

 

   

Rapid processing time and automatable discovery process.

Licensing and Collaborations

Our strategy is to partner our programs while retaining rights to orphan or targeted indications. We currently have a partnership with Sanofi for the development of KB001-A and have licensed our proprietary Humaneered™ technology non-exclusively to Novartis.

Sanofi Pasteur

In January 2010, we signed an agreement with Sanofi granting Sanofi exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize KB001/KB001-A for all indications. Under this agreement, we retained the right to develop, manufacture and promote KB001-A for CF and bronchiectasis indications. In addition, for a period of up to 90 days following the completion of our Phase 2 clinical trial of KB001-A for CF and bronchiectasis, Sanofi has the right to exercise an option to exclusively develop and commercialize KB001-A in Pa -infected CF and bronchiectasis patients either (i) outside the United States, or (ii) worldwide with a co-development, joint marketing and profit-sharing arrangement in the United States between Sanofi and us. In the event that Sanofi exercises this option, we would retain rights to develop, manufacture and promote KB001-A for the CF/bronchiectasis indication within the United States, provided that such rights would be shared with Sanofi if Sanofi elected the co-development and co-promotion option. In order to exercise its option, Sanofi would make certain pre-negotiated payments to us related to the costs incurred by us in developing KB001-A. Under the agreement, we received an upfront payment of $35 million and a $5 million payment in August 2011. We have the potential to receive additional contingent payments of up to an aggregate of $250 million if certain clinical, regulatory, and commercial events are achieved, together with tiered royalties based upon global net sales of KB001-A for Pa VAP.

Novartis

In April 2007, we granted Novartis a nonexclusive license to our proprietary Humaneered™ technology after we successfully Humaneered™ several antibodies for them.

Intellectual Property

We own seven issued U.S. patents and have an exclusive license to eight U.S. patents. We have more than 90 patent applications pending globally. The patents to our Humaneered™ technology cover methods of producing very specific human antibodies using only a small region from mouse antibodies. We have an exclusive license to patents and patent applications that relate to the KB001-A program from the Medical College of Wisconsin and the University of California at San Francisco. These include a method of treatment of Pa using isolated antibodies and an antibody that specifically binds to a key target epitope, as well as diagnostic methods useful in the detection of infection by Pa . In addition, we own a composition of matter patent for KB001-A that provides patent protection through 2028 in the United States. We exclusively licensed a patent family covering chimeric GM-CSF antibodies from the Ludwig Institute of Cancer Research that formed the basis of the intellectual property for the KB003 development program. We own a composition of matter patent covering KB003 and related Humaneered™ anti-GM-CSF antibodies which provides patent protection through 2029. We have exclusive licenses to current and pending patent applications for anti-EphA3 (KB004) antibodies and their use, and have composition of matter patent applications covering KB004 and KB005. Our licenses to third-party patents in all programs extend through the expiration date of licensed patents. Under our agreement with Sanofi, we have obtained an exclusive license under Sanofi’s intellectual property rights to develop, manufacture, and promote KB001-A for CF and bronchiectasis indications. We have a license from BioWa, Inc. and Lonza Sales AG to their Potelligent ® CHOK1SV technology.

Competition

We compete in an industry that is characterized by rapidly advancing technologies, intense competition, and a strong emphasis on proprietary products. Our competitors include pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, academic institutions, and other research organizations. We compete with these parties for promising targets for antibody-based therapeutics and in recruiting highly qualified personnel. Many competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater scientific, research, and product development capabilities as well as greater financial, marketing and sales, and human resources than we do. In addition, many specialized biotechnology firms have formed collaborations with large, established companies to support the research, development and commercialization of products that may be competitive with ours. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than we may be in developing, commercializing, and achieving widespread market acceptance. In addition, our competitors’ products may be more effective or more effectively marketed and sold than any treatment we or our development partners may commercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses related to developing and commercializing any of our product candidates.

There are several companies treating Pa using antibiotics or alternative approaches. For example, Intercell has a fusion protein vaccine program in Phase 3 for the prevention of Pa in mechanically ventilated ICU patients. There are two inhaled antibiotics (Tobi ® and Cayston ® ) that have been approved for Pa to treat CF .  However, like traditional antibiotics, data reported on both drugs show patients often become less responsive over time to these inhaled antibiotics. We are aware of only one biologic drug (Pulmozyme ® ) that is approved in the U.S. to treat respiratory problems in CF patients. However, Pulmozyme does not directly target Pa . KALYDECO ® , a small-molecule drug that potentiates the form of the defective protein that causes CF, was recently approved by the FDA. KALYDECO is a potentially disease-modifying drug that targets only the CF population having at least one copy of the G551D mutation in the CFTR gene (approximately 4% of the CF population). VX-809 is a compound being developed by Vertex in Phase 2 clinical trials that is a potential disease-modifying drug for CF and potentially complementary to KB001-A.

Several companies are also working on anti-GM-CSF antibodies: Morphosys is conducting a Phase 1/2 trial in RA and multiple sclerosis, Micromet (now part of Amgen) has partnered with Nycomed (now part of Takeda) in a Phase 1 trial in RA, and MedImmune is conducting a Phase 2 trial in RA with an antibody against the GM-CSF receptor. Many companies are developing drugs for asthma. Monoclonal antibody drug development has primarily focused on allergic asthma. Xolair ® , which is co-developed by Genentech and Novartis, is currently the only monoclonal antibody that we are aware of that is approved for the treatment of severe asthma. However, Xolair only targets IgE-positive individuals, which represents only 50% of the population, but generated worldwide sales of over $1 billion annually. Genentech (Roche), MedImmune, Novartis and Pfizer each have an anti-IL-13 antibody program in Phase 2 testing for asthma. Other monoclonal antibodies in development target cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, and IL-9 or their receptors. Although these drugs function differently, if successfully developed, these drugs will compete in the asthma market. Finally, although several companies are developing anti-GM-CSF antibodies, we are not aware that they are developing antibodies to treat asthma.

Competition in cancer drug development is intense, with more than 300 compounds in clinical trials by biotechnology and large pharmaceutical companies. Many of these companies are focused on targeted therapies. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new treatments enter the market and advanced technologies become available.

Manufacturing

We perform our own pilot-scale process development work and manage contract manufacturers to scale up the process and manufacture bulk drug substance. Additional contract manufacturers are used to fill, label, package, and distribute investigational drug product.

Government Regulation and Product Approval

Government authorities at the federal, state, and local levels in the United States and authorities in other countries extensively regulate, among other things, the research, development, testing, manufacture, quality control, approval, labeling, packaging, storage, record-keeping, promotion, advertising, distribution, post-approval monitoring and reporting, marketing, export, and import of products such as those we are developing.

United States Pharmaceutical Product Development Process

In the United States, the FDA regulates pharmaceutical products (drug and biologic) under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, and implements regulations. Pharmaceutical products are also subject to other federal, state, and local statutes and regulations. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals and the subsequent compliance with appropriate federal, state, local, and foreign statutes and regulations require the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources. Failure to comply with applicable U.S. requirements at any time during the product development and approval processes or after approval may subject an applicant to administrative or judicial sanctions. FDA sanctions could include refusal to approve pending applications, withdrawal of an approval, a clinical hold, warning letters, product recalls, product seizures, total or partial suspension of production or distribution injunctions, fines, refusals of government contracts, restitution, disgorgement, or civil or criminal penalties. Any agency or judicial enforcement action could have a material adverse effect on us. The process required by the FDA before a pharmaceutical product may be marketed in the United States generally includes the following:

 

   

Completion of preclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies according to Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) or other applicable regulations;

 

   

Submission to the FDA of an Investigational New Drug application (IND), which must become effective before clinical trials may begin in the United States;

 

   

Performance of adequate and well-controlled clinical trials according to the FDA’s Good Clinical Practices (GCP), to establish the safety and efficacy of the proposed pharmaceutical product for its intended use;

 

   

Submission to the FDA of a New Drug Application (NDA) or Biologic Licensing Application (BLA) for a new pharmaceutical product;

 

   

Satisfactory completion of an FDA inspection of the manufacturing facility or facilities where the pharmaceutical product is produced, to assess compliance with the FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and to assure that the facilities, methods, and controls are adequate to preserve the pharmaceutical product’s identity, strength, quality, and purity;

 

   

Potential FDA audit of the preclinical and clinical trial sites that generated the data in support of the NDA/BLA; and

 

   

FDA review and approval of the NDA/BLA.

The lengthy process of seeking required approvals and the continuing need for compliance with applicable statutes and regulations require the expenditure of substantial resources and approvals are inherently uncertain.

Antibody products are derived from a variety of biologic sources, including directly harvested or cultured cell lines. Product safety requires that these sources be well characterized, uniform, and not contaminated with hazardous adventitious agents. Because of the complex nature of these products a controlled, reproducible manufacturing process and facility are required and relied on to produce a uniform product. The degree of reliance on a controlled process varies depending on the nature of the product. Because complete chemical characterization of a biologic product is not feasible for quality control, the testing of the biologic potency receives particular attention and is costly.

Before testing any compounds with potential therapeutic value in humans, the pharmaceutical product candidate enters the preclinical testing stage. Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, toxicity, and formulation as well as animal studies to assess the potential safety and activity of the pharmaceutical product candidate. The conduct of the preclinical tests must comply with federal regulations and requirements including GLP. The sponsor must submit the results of the preclinical tests together with manufacturing information, analytical data, any available clinical data or literature, and a proposed clinical protocol to the FDA as part of an IND. The IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA unless the FDA places the IND on a clinical hold within that 30-day period. In such a case the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolve any outstanding concerns before the clinical trial can begin. The FDA may also impose clinical holds on a pharmaceutical product candidate at any time before or during clinical trials due to safety concerns or noncompliance. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that submission of an IND will result in the FDA allowing clinical trials to begin or that, once begun, such clinical trials will not be suspended or terminated by any issues that may arise.

Clinical trials involve the administration of the pharmaceutical product candidate to healthy volunteers or trial subjects under the supervision of qualified investigators, generally physicians not employed by the sponsor. Clinical trials are conducted under trial protocols detailing among other things the objectives of the clinical trial, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitor subject safety. Each trial protocol and protocol amendment must be submitted to the FDA if conducted under an IND. Clinical trials must be conducted in accordance with the FDA’s GCP requirements. Further, each clinical trial must be reviewed and approved by an independent institutional review board (IRB) or ethics committee if conducted outside the U.S., at or servicing each institution where the clinical trial is be conducted. An IRB or ethics committee is charged with protecting the welfare and rights of trial participants and considers such items as to whether risks to trial participants are minimized and reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB or ethics committee also approves the informed consent documents that must be provided to each clinical trial subject or his or her legal representative and must monitor the trial until it is completed.

Table of Contents

Clinical trials are typically conducted in three sequential phases that may overlap or be combined:

 

   

Phase 1. The pharmaceutical product is initially introduced into healthy human subjects and tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, and excretion. In the case of some products for severe or life-threatening diseases, such as cancer treatments, especially when the product may be too inherently toxic to ethically administer to healthy volunteers, initial human testing is often conducted in patients.

 

   

Phase 2. The pharmaceutical product is evaluated in a limited population to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks, to preliminarily evaluate the efficacy of the product for specific targeted diseases, and to determine dosage tolerance, optimal dosage and dosing schedule.

 

   

Phase 3. Clinical trials are undertaken to further evaluate dosage, clinical efficacy, and safety in an expanded population at geographically dispersed clinical trial sites. These clinical trials are intended to establish the overall risk/benefit ratio of the product and provide an adequate basis for product labeling. Generally, two adequate and well-controlled Phase 3 clinical trials are required by the FDA for approval of an NDA/BLA or by foreign authorities for approval of marketing applications.

Post-approval or Phase 4 clinical trials may be conducted after initial marketing approval. These trials are used to gain additional experience from the treatment of subjects in the intended therapeutic indication and may be requested by the FDA as a condition of approval.

Progress reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA and written IND safety reports must be submitted to the FDA and the investigators for any serious and unexpected adverse events or any safety findings from tests in laboratory animals that suggest a significant risk for human subjects. Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 clinical trials may not be completed successfully within any specified period, if at all. The FDA, sponsor, or a Data Safety Monitoring Committee, if used, may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that trial participants are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. Similarly, an IRB or ethics committee can suspend or terminate approval of a clinical trial if it is not being conducted in accordance with the IRB’s or ethics committee’s requirements or if the pharmaceutical product has been associated with unexpected serious harm.

Concurrent with clinical trials, companies usually complete additional animal studies. They must also develop additional information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the pharmaceutical product as well as finalize a process for manufacturing in commercial quantities in accordance with GMP requirements. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality batches of the pharmaceutical product candidate and among other things must develop methods for testing the identity, strength, quality, and purity of the final pharmaceutical product. Additionally, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studies must be conducted to demonstrate that the pharmaceutical product candidate does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life.

United States Review and Approval Processes

The results of product development and preclinical studies and clinical trials, along with descriptions of the manufacturing process, analytical tests conducted on the chemistry of the pharmaceutical product, proposed labeling, and other relevant information are submitted to the FDA as part of an NDA/BLA requesting approval to market the product.

The NDA/BLA review and approval process is lengthy and difficult. The FDA may refuse to approve an NDA/BLA if applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied, or it may require additional clinical data or other data and information. Even if such data and information is submitted, the FDA may ultimately decide that the NDA/BLA does not satisfy the criteria for approval. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited to specific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. Further, the FDA may require that certain contraindications, warnings, or precautions be included in the product labeling.

Post approval Requirements

Any pharmaceutical product for which we receive FDA approval are subject to continuing regulation by the FDA, including among other things record-keeping requirements, reporting of adverse experiences with the product, providing the FDA with updated safety and efficacy information, product sampling and distribution requirements, complying with certain electronic records and signature requirements, and complying with FDA promotion and advertising requirements, which include among other things standards for direct-to-consumer advertising, promoting pharmaceutical products for uses or in patient populations not described in the pharmaceutical product’s approved labeling (off-label use), industry-sponsored scientific and educational activities, and promotional activities involving the internet. Failure to comply with FDA requirements can have negative consequences including adverse publicity, enforcement letters from the FDA, mandated corrective advertising or communications with doctors, and civil or criminal penalties.

 

16


Table of Contents

The FDA also may require post-market (Phase 4) testing, risk minimization action plans, and surveillance to monitor the effects of an approved product, or may place conditions on an approval that could restrict distribution or use of the product.

Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance Requirements

In the United States, our activities are potentially subject to regulation by federal, state, and local authorities in addition to the FDA, including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (formerly the Health Care Financing Administration), other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (e.g., the Office of Inspector General), the U.S. Department of Justice and individual U.S. Attorney offices within the Department of Justice, and state and local governments.

International Regulation

In addition to regulations in the United States, a variety of foreign regulations govern clinical trials, commercial sales, and distribution of product candidates. The approval process varies from country to country and the time to approval may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval.

Pharmaceutical Coverage, Pricing and Reimbursement

In the United States and markets in other countries, sales of any products for which we receive regulatory approval for commercial sale will depend in part on the availability of reimbursement from third-party payors, including government health administrative authorities, managed care providers, private health insurers, and other organizations. Third-party payors are increasingly examining the medical necessity and cost effectiveness of medical products and services in addition to safety and efficacy and, accordingly, significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved therapeutics. Third-party reimbursement adequate to enable us to realize an appropriate return on our investment in research and product development may not be available for our products.

Employees

As of May 31, 2012, we had 19 full-time employees in preclinical and clinical development and administration.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Risks Related to Capital Requirements and the Development, Regulatory Approval, and Commercialization of Our Product Candidates

We have limited sources of revenue, and we will need substantial additional funding to continue our operations, and we may be unable to raise additional capital when needed, or at all, which would force us to reduce or discontinue operations.

As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $14.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Our revenues from licensing and research and development collaborations for the 3 months ended March 31, 2012 were $3.0 million. We consumed a net $3.4 million in cash used in operating activities during this period. We have not sold any products and we do not expect to sell any products or derive royalty revenue from product sales for the next several years. However, in order to develop and bring our lead product candidates through clinical trials, we must commit substantial resources to additional costly and time-consuming research, preclinical testing, and clinical trials. In May 2012, we raised $15.6 million, net of offering costs, through the sale of 5,000,000 shares of Series E preferred stock. We anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital, the requirements of which will depend on many factors, including:

 

   

the scope, progress, expansion, costs, and results of our research and development programs and clinical trials;

 

   

the timing of and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals;

 

   

our ability to establish and maintain collaborative arrangements and obtain milestone, royalty, and other payments from collaborators;

 

   

the emergence of competing technologies and other adverse market developments;

 

   

the costs of maintaining, expanding, and protecting our intellectual property portfolio, including potential litigation costs and liabilities; and

 

   

the resources we devote to manufacturing, marketing, and commercializing our products.

Since our inception in 2000, we have been financing our operations primarily through the sale of private equity, interest income earned on cash and cash-equivalent and marketable securities balances, lines of finance credit, and payments under agreements with our collaborators. In order to fund our future needs we may seek additional funding through public or private equity or debt financings, collaborative arrangements, lines of credit, or other sources. Additional funding may not be available to us on a timely basis or at acceptable terms, or at all. We believe our cash on hand will sustain our operations for the next 12 months and that we will require substantial additional funds to support our continued research and development activities and the anticipated costs of preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory approvals, and potential commercialization. We have based this estimate, however, on assumptions that may prove to be wrong and we could spend our available financial resources much faster than we currently expect.

If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce, or terminate some or all of our development programs and clinical trials. We may also be required to sell or license technologies or clinical products or programs to others that we would prefer to develop and commercialize ourselves.

Our product candidates are at an early stage of development and may not be successfully developed or commercialized.

Our product candidates are in the early stage of development and will require substantial further capital expenditures, development, testing, and regulatory clearances prior to commercialization. Of the large number of drugs in development, only a small percentage successfully complete the FDA regulatory approval process and are commercialized. Accordingly, even if we are able to obtain the requisite financing to fund our development programs, we cannot assure you that our product candidates will be successfully developed or commercialized. If we or our partners are unable to develop, or receive regulatory approval for or successfully commercialize, any of our product candidates, we will not be able to generate sufficient product revenues to continue our business.

The results of preclinical studies and early clinical trials are not always predictive of future results. Any product candidate we advance into clinical trials may not have favorable results in later clinical trials, if any, or receive regulatory approval.

Pharmaceutical development has inherent risk. We will be required to demonstrate through adequate and well-controlled clinical trials that our product candidates are effective, with a favorable benefit-risk profile, for use in their target indications before we can seek regulatory approvals for their commercial sale. Success in early clinical trials does not mean that later clinical trials will be successful because product candidates in later-stage clinical trials may fail to demonstrate sufficient safety or efficacy despite having progressed through initial clinical testing. Companies frequently suffer significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials, even after earlier clinical trials have shown promising results. Furthermore, the efficacy or safety demonstrated with KB001, KB002 and intravenous formulation of KB001-A and KB003 may not be reproduced in KB001-A, KB003 and subcutaneous formulation of KB001-A and KB003, respectively. In addition, only a small percentage of drugs under development result in the submission of an NDA or BLA to the FDA and even fewer are approved for commercialization.

Table of Contents

Any product candidates we may advance into clinical development are subject to extensive regulation, which can be costly and time consuming, cause unanticipated delays or prevent the receipt of the required approvals to commercialize our product candidates.

The clinical development, manufacturing, labeling, storage, record-keeping, advertising, promotion, import, export, marketing, and distribution of our product candidates are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA in the United States and by comparable health authorities in foreign markets. In the United States, we are not permitted to market our product candidates until we receive approval of an NDA/BLA from the FDA. The process of obtaining NDA/BLA approval is expensive, often takes many years, and can vary substantially based upon the type, complexity, and novelty of the products involved. Approval policies or regulations may change and the FDA has substantial discretion in the pharmaceutical approval process, including the ability to delay, limit, or deny approval of a product candidate for many reasons. Despite the time and expense invested in clinical development of product candidates, regulatory approval is never guaranteed.

The FDA or other regulatory agency can delay, limit, or deny approval of a product candidate for many reasons, including:

 

   

the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may disagree with the design or implementation of our clinical trials;

 

   

we may be unable to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the FDA that a product candidate is safe and effective for any indication;

 

   

the FDA may not accept clinical data from trials which are conducted by individual investigators or in countries where the standard of care is potentially different from the United States;

 

   

the results of clinical trials may not meet the level of statistical significance required by the FDA for approval;

 

   

we may be unable to demonstrate that a product candidate’s clinical and other benefits outweigh its safety risks;

 

   

the FDA may disagree with our interpretation of data from preclinical studies or clinical trials or the use of results from antibody studies that served as precursors to our current drug candidates;

 

   

the FDA may find deficiencies in the manufacturing processes or facilities of third-party manufacturers with which we or our collaborators contract for clinical and commercial supplies; or

 

   

the approval policies or regulations of the FDA may significantly change in a manner rendering our or our development partners’ clinical data insufficient for approval.

With respect to foreign markets, approval procedures vary among countries and, in addition to the aforementioned risks, can involve additional product testing, administrative review periods and agreements with pricing authorities. In addition, events raising questions about the safety of certain marketed pharmaceuticals may result in increased cautiousness by the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities in reviewing new pharmaceuticals based on safety, efficacy or other regulatory considerations and may result in significant delays in obtaining regulatory approvals. Any delay in obtaining, or inability to obtain, applicable regulatory approvals would prevent us from commercializing our product candidates.

Any product candidate we or our development partners advance into clinical trials may cause unacceptable adverse events or have other properties that may delay or prevent its regulatory approval or commercialization or limit its commercial potential.

Unacceptable adverse events caused by any of our product candidates that we advance into clinical trials could cause us or regulatory authorities to interrupt, delay, or halt clinical trials and could result in the denial of regulatory approval by the FDA or other regulatory authorities for any or all targeted indications and markets. This in turn could prevent us from completing development or commercializing the affected product candidate and generating revenues from its sale.

We or our development partners have not yet completed testing of any of our product candidates for the treatment of the indications for which we intend to seek product approval in humans, and we currently do not know the extent of adverse events, if any, that will be observed in individuals who receive any of our product candidates. If any of our product candidates cause unacceptable adverse events in clinical trials, we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval or commercialize such product.

We may experience delays in commencing or conducting our clinical trials or in receiving data from third parties or in the completion of clinical testing, which could result in increased costs to us and delay our ability to generate product revenues.

Before we can initiate clinical trials in the United States for our product candidates, we need to submit the results of preclinical testing to the FDA as part of an IND, along with other information including information about product chemistry, manufacturing, and controls and our proposed clinical trial protocol. We currently plan to rely in part on preclinical, clinical, and quality data generated by third parties for the IND submission for KB001-A. If we are unable to use such data for any reason including reasons outside of our control, it will delay our plans for IND filings and clinical trial plans. If those third parties do not make these data available to us, we will likely have to develop all necessary preclinical and clinical data on our own, which will lead to additional delays and increase development costs of the product candidate. In addition, the FDA may require us to conduct additional preclinical testing for any product candidate before it allows us to initiate clinical testing under any IND, which may lead to additional delays and increase the costs of our preclinical development. Even where there is an active IND for a product candidate, clinical trials can be delayed for a variety of reasons including delays in:

 

   

identifying, recruiting, and training suitable clinical investigators;

 

   

reaching agreement on acceptable terms with prospective contract research organizations (CROs) and trial sites, the terms of which can be subject to extensive negotiation, may be subject to modification from time to time, and may vary significantly among different CROs and trial sites;

 

   

obtaining sufficient quantities of a product candidate for use in clinical trials;

 

   

obtaining IRB or ethics committee approval to conduct a clinical trial at a prospective site;

 

   

identifying, recruiting, and enrolling subjects to participate in a clinical trial; and

 

   

retaining participants who have initiated a clinical trial but may withdraw due to adverse events from the therapy, insufficient efficacy, fatigue with the clinical trial process, or personal issues.

The FDA may also put a clinical trial on clinical hold at any time during product candidate development.

Once a clinical trial has begun, recruitment and enrollment of subjects may be slower than we anticipate. Clinical trials may also be delayed as a result of ambiguous or negative interim results. Further, a clinical trial may be suspended or terminated by us, an IRB, an ethics committee, or a Data Safety Monitoring Committee overseeing the clinical trial, any of our clinical trial sites with respect to that site or the FDA or other regulatory authorities due to a number of factors, including:

 

   

failure to conduct the clinical trial in accordance with regulatory requirements or our clinical protocols;

 

   

inspection of the clinical trial operations or clinical trial site by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;

 

   

unforeseen safety issues or any determination that the clinical trial presents unacceptable health risks; or

 

   

lack of adequate funding to continue the clinical trial.

Any delays in the commencement of our clinical trials will delay our ability to pursue regulatory approval for our product candidates. Changes in regulatory requirements and guidance also may occur and we may need to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes. Amendments may require us to resubmit our clinical trial protocols to IRBs for re-examination, which may affect the costs, timing, and likelihood of a successful completion of a clinical trial. If we experience delays in the completion of, or if we must terminate, any clinical trial of any product candidate our ability to obtain regulatory approval for that product candidate will be delayed and the commercial prospects, if any, for the product candidate may suffer as a result. In addition, many of these factors may also ultimately lead to the denial of regulatory approval of a product candidate.

If our competitors develop treatments for the target indications of our product candidates that are approved more quickly, marketed more successfully or demonstrated to be more effective than our product candidates, our commercial opportunity will be reduced or eliminated.

We operate in highly competitive segments of the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical markets. We face competition from many different sources, including commercial pharmaceutical and biotechnology enterprises, academic institutions, government agencies, and private and public research institutions. Our product candidates, if successfully developed and approved, will compete with established therapies as well as with new treatments that may be introduced by our competitors. Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial, product development, manufacturing, and marketing resources than we do. Large pharmaceutical companies have extensive experience in clinical testing and obtaining regulatory approval for drugs. In addition, many universities and private and public research institutes are active in cancer research, some in direct competition with us. We also may compete with these organizations to recruit management, scientists, and clinical development personnel. Smaller or early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large and established companies. New developments, including the development of other pharmaceutical technologies and methods of treating disease, occur in the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries at a rapid pace. Developments by competitors may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive. We will also face competition from these third parties in recruiting and retaining qualified personnel, establishing clinical trial sites, and registering subjects for clinical trials, and in identifying and in-licensing new product candidates.

There are several companies treating Pa using antibiotics or alternative approaches. For example, Intercell has a fusion protein vaccine program in Phase 3 for the prevention of Pa in mechanically ventilated ICU patients. There are two inhaled antibiotics (Tobi ® and Cayston ® ) that have been approved for Pa to treat CF .  We are also aware of one biologic drug (Pulmozyme ® ) that is approved in the US to treat respiratory problems in CF patients. KALYDECO ® , a small-molecule drug that potentiates the form of the defective protein that causes CF, was recently approved by the FDA. VX-809 is a compound being developed by Vertex in Phase 2 clinical trials that is a potential disease modifying drug for CF.

Several companies are also working on anti-GM-CSF antibodies: Morphosys is conducting a Phase 1-2 trial in RA and MS, Micromet (now part of Amgen) has partnered with Nycomed (now part of Takeda) in a Phase 1 trial in RA, and MedImmune is conducting a Phase 2 trial in RA with an antibody against the GM-CSF receptor. Many companies are developing drugs for asthma. Monoclonal antibody drug development has primarily focused on allergic asthma. Xolair ® , which is co-developed by Genentech and Novartis, is currently the only monoclonal antibody that we are aware of that is approved for the treatment of severe asthma. Genentech (Roche), MedImmune, Novartis and Pfizer, Novartis, each have an anti-IL-13 antibody program in Phase 2 testing for asthma. Other monoclonal antibodies in development target cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, and IL-9 or their receptors. Although these drugs function differently, if successfully developed these drugs will compete in the asthma market.

Competition in cancer drug development is intense, with more than 300 compounds in clinical trials by large pharmaceutical companies. Many of these companies are focused on targeted therapies. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new treatments enter the market and advanced technologies become available.

If any product candidate that we successfully develop does not achieve broad market acceptance among physicians, patients, healthcare payors and the medical community, the revenues that it generates will be limited.

Even if our product candidates receive regulatory approval, they may not gain market acceptance among physicians, patients, healthcare payors, and the medical community. Coverage and reimbursement of our product candidates by third-party payors, including government payors, generally is also necessary for commercial success. The degree of market acceptance of any approved products will depend on a number of factors, including:

 

   

the efficacy and safety as demonstrated in clinical trials;

 

   

the clinical indications for which the product is approved;

 

   

acceptance by physicians, major operators of hospitals and clinics, and patients of the product as a safe and effective treatment;

 

   

the potential and perceived advantages of product candidates over alternative treatments;

 

   

the safety of product candidates seen in a broader patient group, including its use outside the approved indications;

 

   

the cost of treatment in relation to alternative treatments;

 

   

the availability of adequate reimbursement and pricing by third parties and government authorities;

 

   

relative convenience and ease of administration;

 

   

the prevalence and severity of adverse events;

 

   

the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts; and

 

   

unfavorable publicity relating to the product.

If any product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of acceptance by physicians, hospitals, healthcare payors, and patients, we may not generate sufficient revenue from that product candidate and may not become or remain profitable.

 

21


Table of Contents

Reimbursement may be limited or unavailable in certain market segments for our product candidates, which could make it difficult for us to sell our products profitably.

Market acceptance and sales of our product candidates will depend significantly on the availability of adequate insurance coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors for any of our product candidates and may be affected by existing and future health care reform measures. Government authorities and third-party payors, such as private health insurers and health maintenance organizations, decide which drugs they will pay for and establish reimbursement levels. Reimbursement by a third-party payor may depend upon a number of factors including the third-party payor’s determination that use of a product is:

 

   

a covered benefit under its health plan;

 

   

safe, effective, and medically necessary;

 

   

appropriate for the specific patient;

 

   

cost effective; and

 

   

neither experimental nor investigational.

Obtaining coverage and reimbursement approval for a product from a government or other third-party payor is a time-consuming and costly process that could require us to provide supporting scientific, clinical, and cost effectiveness data for the use of our products to the payor. We may not be able to provide data sufficient to gain acceptance with respect to coverage and reimbursement. We cannot be sure that coverage or adequate reimbursement will be available for any of our product candidates. Also, we cannot be sure that reimbursement amounts will not reduce the demand for, or the price of, our products. If reimbursement is not available or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to commercialize certain of our products even if approved.

In the United States and in certain foreign jurisdictions, there have been a number of legislative and regulatory changes to the health care system that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. In particular, the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 revised the payment methods for many products under Medicare. This has resulted in lower rates of reimbursement. There have been numerous other federal and state initiatives designed to reduce payment for pharmaceuticals.

As a result of legislative proposals and the trend toward managed health care in the United States, third-party payors are increasingly attempting to contain health care costs by limiting both coverage and the level of reimbursement of new drugs. They may also refuse to provide coverage of approved products for medical indications other than those for which the FDA has granted market approvals. As a result, significant uncertainty exists as to whether and how much third-party payors will reimburse patients for their use of newly approved drugs, which in turn will put pressure on the pricing of drugs. We expect to experience pricing pressures in connection with the sale of our products due to the trend toward managed health care, the increasing influence of health maintenance organizations, and additional legislative proposals as well as country, regional, or local healthcare budget limitations.

Governments may impose price controls, which may adversely affect our future profitability.

We intend to seek approval to market our future products in both the United States and in foreign jurisdictions. If we obtain approval in one or more foreign jurisdictions, we will be subject to rules and regulations in those jurisdictions relating to our product. In some foreign countries, particularly in the European Union, the pricing of prescription pharmaceuticals and biologics is subject to governmental control. In these countries, pricing negotiations with governmental authorities can take considerable time after the receipt of marketing approval for a product candidate. If reimbursement of our future products is unavailable or limited in scope or amount, or if pricing is set at unsatisfactory levels, we may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability.

Healthcare reform measures, if implemented, could hinder or prevent our commercial success.

There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadening the availability of health care and containing or lowering the cost of health care. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuing efforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations, and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of health care may adversely affect:

 

   

the demand for any drug products for which we may obtain regulatory approval;

 

   

our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for our products;

 

   

our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;

 

   

the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and

 

   

the availability of capital.

If we are unable to establish sales and marketing capabilities or fail to enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell any products we may successfully develop, we may not be able to effectively market and sell any such products and generate product revenue.

We do not currently have the infrastructure for the sales, marketing, and distribution of any of our product candidates, and must build this infrastructure or make arrangements with third parties to perform these functions in order to commercialize any products that we may successfully develop. The establishment and development of a sales force, either by us or jointly with a development partner, or the establishment of a contract sales force to market any products we may develop will be expensive and time consuming and could delay any product launch. If we or our development partners are unable to establish sales and marketing capabilities or any other nontechnical capabilities necessary to commercialize any products we may successfully develop, we will need to contract with third parties to market and sell such products. We may not be able to establish arrangements with third parties on acceptable terms, if at all.

Risks Related to Our Dependence on Third Parties

We are dependent on Sanofi for most aspects of the development and commercialization of KB001-A, and Sanofi’s failure to develop and/or commercialize KB001-A would result in a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

We have granted Sanofi an exclusive license to KB001-A for most aspects of the development and commercialization of KB001-A. Our strategic partnership with Sanofi on KB001-A may not be scientifically, medically, or commercially successful due to a number of important factors, including the following:

 

   

Sanofi’s obligation to use “diligent efforts” under our agreement leaves Sanofi with significant discretion in determining the efforts and resources that it will apply to the development and commercialization of KB001-A. The timing and amount of any cash payments, related royalties, and contingent payments we may receive under our agreement will depend on, among other things, the efforts, allocation of resources, and successful development and commercialization of our product candidate by Sanofi under our agreement. In addition, Sanofi may not choose to exercise its option to develop KB001-A for CF and bronchiectasis and has no contractual obligation to do so.

 

   

Sanofi may develop and commercialize, either alone or with others, products that are similar to or competitive with KB001-A for the indication that we are targeting.

 

   

Sanofi may change the focus of its development and commercialization efforts or pursue higher-priority programs.

 

   

Subject to our promotional rights in CF, Sanofi will have significant control over the commercialization of KB001-A for all indications. Sanofi’s commercialization objectives for different indications may not be consistent with our goals and there can be no assurance that Sanofi will want to commercialize KB001-A in a manner that maximizes our revenue. In addition, we may find that we cannot reach agreement over some of the development and commercialization aspects of KB001-A, resulting in program delays, termination, or other decisions that might have a material impact on our business.

 

   

We and Sanofi may fail to agree on the specific terms of a profit sharing arrangement within the United States for CF in the event that Sanofi elects the shared U.S. territory option.

 

   

Sanofi may utilize our intellectual property rights in such a way as to invite litigation that could jeopardize or invalidate our intellectual property rights or expose us to potential liability.

 

   

Sanofi may not comply with all applicable regulatory requirements or may fail to report safety data in accordance with all applicable regulatory requirements.

 

   

If Sanofi were to breach or terminate its arrangements with us, the development and commercialization of KB001-A could be delayed. We would need to either use our own resources and capabilities to continue development and commercialization of KB001-A or grant rights to another development or commercial partner.

 

   

Sanofi may not have sufficient resources necessary to carry the product candidate through clinical development or may not obtain the necessary regulatory approvals.

Sanofi’s failure to develop or effectively commercialize KB001-A for either VAP or CF would result in a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations and would likely cause our stock price to decline.

Table of Contents

We intend to rely on third parties to conduct our clinical trials. If these third parties do not meet our deadlines or otherwise conduct the trials as required, our clinical development programs could be delayed or unsuccessful and we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize our product candidates when expected or at all.

We do not have the ability to conduct all aspects of our preclinical testing or clinical trials ourselves. We intend to use CROs to conduct our planned clinical trials and will rely on medical institutions, clinical investigators, CROs, and consultants to conduct our trials in accordance with our clinical protocols. Our future CROs, investigators, and other third parties play a significant role in the conduct of these trials and subsequent collection and analysis of data.

There is no guarantee that any CROs, investigators, or other third parties on which we rely for administration and conduct of our clinical trials will devote adequate time and resources to such trials or perform as contractually required. If any of these third parties fails to meet expected deadlines, fails to adhere to our clinical protocols, or otherwise performs in a substandard manner, our clinical trials may be extended, delayed, or terminated. If any of our clinical trial sites terminates for any reason, we may experience the loss of follow-up information on subjects enrolled in our ongoing clinical trials unless we are able to transfer those subjects to another qualified clinical trial site. In addition, principal investigators for our clinical trials may serve as scientific advisors or consultants to us from time to time and may receive cash or equity compensation in connection with such services. If these relationships and any related compensation result in perceived or actual conflicts of interest, the integrity of the data generated at the applicable clinical trial site may be jeopardized.

We rely completely on third parties to manufacture our preclinical and clinical pharmaceutical supplies and intend to rely on other third parties to produce commercial supplies of approved product candidates, if any, and our dependence on third party suppliers could adversely impact our business.

We are completely dependent on third-party manufacturers for product supply. If these third-party manufacturers are unwilling to deliver sufficient quantities of any of our products to us on a timely basis and in accordance with applicable specifications and other regulatory requirements, there could be a significant interruption of our supplies, which would adversely affect clinical development of the product. Furthermore, if any of our contract manufacturers cannot successfully manufacture material that conforms to our specifications and with FDA regulatory requirements, we will not be able to secure and/or maintain FDA approval, if any, for our product candidates.

We will also rely on our contract manufacturers to purchase from third-party suppliers the materials necessary to produce our product candidates for our anticipated clinical trials. There are a small number of suppliers for certain capital equipment and raw materials used to manufacture our product candidates. We do not have any control over the process or timing of the acquisition of these raw materials by our contract manufacturers. Moreover, we currently do not have agreements in place for the commercial production of these raw materials. Any significant delay in the supply of a product candidate or the raw material components thereof for an ongoing clinical trial could considerably delay completion of that clinical trial, product testing, and potential regulatory approval of that product candidate.

We do not expect to have the resources or capacity to commercially manufacture any of our proposed products if approved, and will likely continue to be dependent on third-party manufacturers. Our dependence on third parties to manufacture and supply us with clinical trial materials and any approved products may adversely affect our ability to develop and commercialize our products on a timely basis.

We may not be successful in establishing and maintaining additional strategic partnerships, which could adversely affect our ability to develop and commercialize products.

In addition to our current strategic partnership with Sanofi, a part of our strategy is to enter into additional strategic partnerships in the future, including alliances with major biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies. We face significant competition in seeking appropriate strategic partners and the negotiation process is time consuming and complex. Moreover, we may not be successful in our efforts to establish a strategic partnership or other alternative arrangements for any future product candidates and programs because our research and development pipeline may be insufficient, our product candidates and programs may be deemed to be at too early a stage of development for collaborative effort, and/or third parties may not view our product candidates and programs as having the requisite potential to demonstrate safety and efficacy. Even if we are successful in our efforts to establish new strategic partnerships, the terms that we agree upon may not be favorable to us and we may not be able to maintain such strategic partnerships if, for example, development or approval of a product candidate is delayed or sales of an approved product are disappointing. Any delay in entering into new strategic partnership agreements related to our product candidates could delay the development and commercialization of our product candidates and reduce their competitiveness if they reach the market.

 

24


Table of Contents

Moreover, if we fail to establish and maintain additional strategic partnerships related to our product candidates:

 

   

the development of certain of our current or future product candidates may be terminated or delayed;

 

   

our cash expenditures related to development of certain of our current or future product candidates would increase significantly and we may need to seek additional financing;

 

   

we may be required to hire additional employees or otherwise develop expertise, such as sales and marketing expertise, for which we have not budgeted; and

 

   

we will bear all of the risk related to the development of any such product candidates.

Risks Relating to our Finances and Other Financial Matters

We have a history of operating losses, we expect to continue to incur losses, and we may never become profitable.

We have never been profitable and, as of March 31, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $75.9 million. We have incurred net losses each year since our inception except for the year ended December 31, 2007, including net operating losses of $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011; $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010; and $27.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. To date, we have only recognized revenues through payments for funded research and development and for license or collaboration fees. We expect to make substantial expenditures and incur additional operating losses in the future, to further develop and commercialize our product candidates. Our accumulated deficit is expected to increase significantly as we expand our development and clinical trial efforts. Our ability to achieve and sustain profitability depends on obtaining regulatory approvals for and successfully commercializing our lead product candidates, either alone or with third parties. We do not currently have the required approvals to market any of our product candidates and we may not receive them. We may not be profitable even if we or our commercialization partners succeed in commercializing any of our product candidates. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing our product candidates and their potential for commercialization, we are unable to predict the extent of any future losses or when we will become profitable, if at all.

Raising additional funds by issuing securities or through licensing or lending arrangements may cause dilution to our existing stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish proprietary rights.

To the extent that we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, the share ownership of existing stockholders will be diluted. Any future debt financing may involve covenants that restrict our operations, including limitations on our ability to incur liens or additional debt; pay dividends; redeem our stock; make certain investments; and engage in certain merger, consolidation, or asset sale transactions, among other restrictions. In addition, if we raise additional funds through licensing arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish potentially valuable rights to our product candidates or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired, which could harm our operating results, investors’ views of us and, as a result, the value of our common stock.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related rules (collectively, “SOX”), our management will be required to report the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. When and if we are a “large accelerated filer” or an “accelerated filer” and are no longer an “emerging growth company,” each as defined in the Exchange Act, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess our internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation. To comply with the requirements of being a reporting company under the Exchange Act, we may need to upgrade our systems including information technology; implement additional financial and management controls, reporting systems, and procedures; and hire additional accounting and finance staff.

As a private company with limited resources, historically we have not had sufficient accounting and supervisory personnel with the appropriate level of technical accounting experience and training necessary, or adequate formally documented accounting policies and procedures to support, effective internal controls. We will commence the process of formally documenting, reviewing, and improving our internal controls over financial reporting for compliance with Section 404 of SOX and have already made efforts to improve our internal controls and accounting policies and procedures, including hiring new accounting personnel and engaging external temporary resources. However, we may continue to identify deficiencies and weaknesses in our internal controls. If material weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal controls exist and go undetected, our financial statements could contain material misstatements that, when discovered in the future, could cause us to fail to meet our future reporting obligations and cause the price of our common stock to decline.

Our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.

We have incurred substantial losses during our history and do not expect to become profitable in 2012 and may never achieve profitability. To the extent that we continue to generate taxable losses, unused losses will carry forward to offset future taxable income, if any, until such unused losses expire. We may be unable to use these losses to offset income before such unused losses expire. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change” (generally defined as a greater than 50% change (by value) in its equity ownership over a three year period), the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other pre-change tax attributes to offset its post-change income may be further limited. We may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of subsequent shifts in our stock ownership. As of December 31, 2011, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $67.0 million and $66.9 million, respectively, that could be limited if we experience an ownership change, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. These federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will expire commencing 2030 and 2028, respectively, if not utilized.

Risks Related to Our Business

Because we have a short operating history, there is a limited amount of information about us upon which you can evaluate our business and prospects.

Our operations began in March 2000 and we have a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our business and prospects. In addition, as an early-stage company we have limited experience and have not yet demonstrated an ability to successfully overcome many of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in new and rapidly evolving fields, particularly in the biopharmaceutical area. For example, to execute our business plan we will need to successfully:

 

   

secure substantial additional funding from private or public market sources, including debt financings,

 

   

execute product development activities;

 

   

obtain required regulatory approvals for the development and commercialization of our product candidates;

 

   

build and maintain a strong intellectual property portfolio;

 

   

build and maintain robust sales, distribution, and marketing capabilities;

 

   

gain broad market acceptance for our products;

 

   

develop and maintain successful strategic relationships; and

 

   

manage our spending as costs and expenses increase due to clinical trials, regulatory approvals, and commercialization.

If we are unsuccessful in accomplishing these objectives, we may not be able to develop product candidates, raise capital, expand our business, or continue our operations.

If we fail to attract and retain key management and clinical development personnel, we may be unable to successfully develop or commercialize our product candidates.

We will need to expand and effectively manage our managerial, operational, financial, and other resources in order to successfully pursue our clinical development and commercialization efforts. As a company with a limited number of personnel we are highly dependent on the development, regulatory, commercial, and financial expertise of the members of our senior management, in particular David W. Pritchard, our president and chief executive officer, and Geoffrey Yarranton, our executive vice president and chief scientific officer. The loss of such individuals or the services of any of our other senior management could delay or prevent the further development and potential commercialization of our product candidates and, if we are not successful in finding suitable replacements, could harm our business. Our success also depends on our continued ability to attract, retain, and motivate highly qualified management and scientific personnel and we may not be able to do so in the future due to intense competition among biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, universities, and research organizations for qualified personnel. If we are unable to attract and retain the necessary personnel, we may experience significant impediments to our ability to implement our business strategy.

If we fail to effectively integrate our new executive officers into our organization, the future development and commercialization of our product candidates may suffer, harming future regulatory approvals, sales of our product candidates or our results of operations.

Our Chief Medical Officer recently joined us in May 2012, and our Chief Financial Officer will join us in July 2012. As a result, certain members of our executive team have not worked together as a group for a significant period of time. Our future performance will depend, in part on our ability to successfully integrate our newly hired executive officers into our management team and our ability to develop an effective working relationship among senior management. Our failure to integrate these individuals and create effective working relationships among them and other members of management could result in inefficiencies in the development and commercialization of our product candidates, harming future regulatory approvals, sales of our product candidates and our results of operations.

We may encounter difficulties in managing our growth and expanding our operations successfully.

As we seek to advance our product candidates through clinical trials we will need to expand our development, regulatory, manufacturing, marketing, and sales capabilities or contract with third parties to provide these capabilities for us. As our operations expand we expect that we will need to manage additional relationships with various strategic partners, suppliers, and other third parties. Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management. Our future financial performance and our ability to commercialize our product candidates and to compete effectively will depend in part on our ability to manage any future growth effectively. To that end, we must be able to manage our development efforts and clinical trials effectively and hire, train, and integrate additional management, administrative, and sales and marketing personnel. We may not be able to accomplish these tasks and our failure to accomplish any of them could prevent us from successfully growing our company.

We face potential product liability exposure and, if successful claims are brought against us, we may incur substantial liability for a product candidate and may have to limit its commercialization.

The use of our product candidates in clinical trials and the sale of any products for which we may obtain marketing approval expose us to the risk of product liability claims. Product liability claims may be brought against us or our partners by participants enrolled in our clinical trials, patients, health care providers, or others using, administering, or selling our products. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against any such claims, we would incur substantial liabilities. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, product liability claims may result in:

 

   

withdrawal of clinical trial participants;

 

   

termination of clinical trial sites or entire trial programs;

 

   

costs of related litigation;

 

   

substantial monetary awards to trial participants or other claimants;

 

   

decreased demand for our product candidates and loss of revenues;

 

   

impairment of our business reputation;

 

   

diversion of management and scientific resources from our business operations; and

 

   

the inability to commercialize our product candidates.

We have obtained limited product liability insurance coverage for our clinical trials domestically and in selected foreign countries where we are conducting clinical trials. As such, our insurance coverage may not reimburse us or may not be sufficient to reimburse us for any expenses or losses we may suffer. Moreover, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive and in the future we may not be able to maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost or in sufficient amounts to protect us against losses due to product liability. We intend to expand our insurance coverage for products to include the sale of commercial products if we obtain marketing approval for our product candidates in development; however, we may be unable to obtain commercially reasonable product liability insurance for any products approved for marketing. Large judgments have been awarded in class action lawsuits based on drugs that had unanticipated side effects. A successful product liability claim or series of claims brought against us, particularly if judgments exceed our insurance coverage, could decrease our cash and adversely affect our business.

Table of Contents

Our insurance policies are expensive and protect us only from some business risks, which will leave us exposed to significant uninsured liabilities.

We do not carry insurance for all categories of risk that our business may encounter. For example, we do not carry earthquake insurance. In the event of a major earthquake in our region, our business could suffer significant and uninsured damage and loss. Some of the policies we currently maintain include general liability, employment practices liability, property, auto, workers’ compensation, products liability, and directors’ and officers’ insurance. We do not know, however, if we will be able to maintain existing insurance with adequate levels of coverage. Any significant, uninsured liability may require us to pay substantial amounts, which would adversely affect our cash position and results of operations.

Our employees may engage in misconduct or other improper activities including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements and insider trading.

We are exposed to the risk of employee fraud or other misconduct. Misconduct by employees could include intentional failures to comply with FDA regulations, provide accurate information to the FDA, comply with manufacturing standards we have established, comply with federal and state health care fraud and abuse laws and regulations, report financial information or data accurately, or disclose unauthorized activities to us. In particular, sales, marketing, and business arrangements in the health care industry are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, kickbacks, self-dealing, and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs, and other business arrangements. Employee misconduct could also involve improper use of information obtained in the course of clinical trials, which could result in regulatory sanctions and serious harm to our reputation.

In addition, during the course of our operations our directors, executives, and employees may have access to material, nonpublic information regarding our business, our results of operations, or potential transactions we are considering. We may not be able to prevent a director, executive, or employee from trading in our common stock on the basis of, or while having access to, material, nonpublic information. If a director, executive, or employee was to be investigated or an action was to be brought against a director, executive, or employee for insider trading, it could have a negative impact on our reputation and our stock price. Such a claim, with or without merit, could also result in substantial expenditures of time and money, and divert attention of our management team from other tasks important to the success of our business.

We use biological materials and may use hazardous materials, and any claims relating to improper handling, storage, or disposal of these materials could be time consuming or costly.

We may use hazardous materials, including chemicals and biological agents and compounds that could be dangerous to human health and safety or the environment. Our operations also produce hazardous waste products. Federal, state, and local laws and regulations govern the use, generation, manufacture, storage, handling, and disposal of these materials and wastes. Compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations may be expensive and current or future environmental laws and regulations may impair our product development efforts. In addition, we cannot entirely eliminate the risk of accidental injury or contamination from these materials or wastes. We do not carry specific biological or hazardous waste insurance coverage and our property, casualty, and general liability insurance policies specifically exclude coverage for damages and fines arising from biological or hazardous waste exposure or contamination. Accordingly, in the event of contamination or injury we could be held liable for damages or be penalized with fines in an amount exceeding our resources, and our clinical trials or regulatory approvals could be suspended.

Our internal computer systems, or those of third party clinical research organizations or other contractors or consultants, may fail or suffer security breaches, which could result in a material disruption of our product development programs.

Despite the implementation of security measures, our internal computer systems and those of third party clinical research organizations and other contractors and consultants are vulnerable to damage from computer viruses, unauthorized access, natural disasters, terrorism, war, and telecommunication and electrical failures. While we have not experienced any such system failure, accident, or security breach to date, if such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our programs. For example, the loss of clinical trial data for any of our product candidates could result in delays in our regulatory approval efforts and significantly increase our costs to recover or reproduce the data. To the extent that any disruption or security breach results in a loss of or damage to our data or applications, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, we could incur liabilities and the further development of our product candidates could be delayed.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

Our success depends on our ability to protect our intellectual property and our proprietary technologies.

Our commercial success depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection and trade secret protection for our product candidates, proprietary technologies, and their uses as well as our ability to operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others. There can be no assurance that our patent applications or those of our licensors will result in additional patents being issued or that issued patents will afford sufficient protection against competitors with similar technology, nor can there be any assurance that the patents issued will not be infringed, designed around, or invalidated by third parties. Even issued patents may later be found unenforceable or may be modified or revoked in proceedings instituted by third parties before various patent offices or in courts. The degree of future protection for our proprietary rights is uncertain. Only limited protection may be available and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to gain or keep any competitive advantage. This failure to properly protect the intellectual property rights relating to these product candidates could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The patent application process is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we or our partners will be successful in protecting our product candidates by obtaining and defending patents. These risks and uncertainties include the following:

 

   

patent applications may not result in any patents being issued;

 

   

patents that may be issued or in-licensed may be challenged, invalidated, modified, revoked, circumvented, found to be unenforceable, or otherwise may not provide any competitive advantage;

 

   

our competitors, many of whom have substantially greater resources than we do and many of whom have made significant investments in competing technologies, may seek or may have already obtained patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sell our potential products;

 

   

there may be significant pressure on the U.S. government and international governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for disease treatments that prove successful, as a matter of public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; and

 

   

countries other than the United States may have patent laws less favorable to patentees than those upheld by U.S. courts, allowing foreign competitors a better opportunity to create, develop, and market competing products.

In addition to patents, we and our partners rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how. Although we have taken steps to protect our trade secrets and unpatented know-how, including entering into confidentiality agreements with third parties, and confidential information and inventions agreements with employees, consultants, and advisors, third parties may still obtain this information or may come upon this or similar information independently. If any of these events occurs or if we otherwise lose protection for our trade secrets or proprietary know-how, the value of this information may be greatly reduced.

If we or our partners are sued for infringing intellectual property rights of third parties, it will be costly and time consuming, and an unfavorable outcome in that litigation would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our success also depends on our ability and the ability of any of our future collaborators to develop, manufacture, market, and sell our product candidates without infringing upon the proprietary rights of third parties. Numerous U.S.-issued and foreign-issued patents and pending patent applications owned by third parties exist in the fields in which we are developing products, some of which may be directed at claims that overlap with the subject matter of our intellectual property. Because patent applications can take many years to issue there may be currently pending applications, unknown to us, that may later result in issued patents upon which our product candidates or proprietary technologies may infringe. Similarly, there may be issued patents relevant to our product candidates of which we are not aware.

There is a substantial amount of litigation involving patent and other intellectual property rights in the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries generally. If a third party claims that we or any of our licensors, suppliers, or collaborators infringe upon a third party’s intellectual property rights, we may have to:

 

   

seek to obtain licenses that may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all;

 

   

abandon an infringing product candidate or redesign our products or processes to avoid infringement;

 

29


Table of Contents
   

pay substantial damages including, in an exceptional case, treble damages and attorneys’ fees, which we may have to pay if a court decides that the product or proprietary technology at issue infringes upon or violates the third party’s rights;

 

   

pay substantial royalties or fees and/or grant cross-licenses to our technology; and/or

 

   

defend litigation or administrative proceedings that may be costly whether we win or lose, and which could result in a substantial diversion of our financial and management resources.

We may be involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents or the patents of our licensors, which could be expensive, time consuming and unsuccessful.

Competitors may infringe upon our patents or the patents of our licensors. To counter infringement or unauthorized use, we may be required to file infringement claims, which can be expensive and time consuming. An adverse result in any litigation or defense proceedings could put one or more of our patents at risk of being invalidated, found to be unenforceable, or interpreted narrowly and could put our patent applications at risk of not issuing. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation.

Most of our competitors are larger than we are and have substantially greater resources. They are, therefore, likely to be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation longer than we could. In addition, the uncertainties associated with litigation could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise the funds necessary to continue our clinical trials, continue our internal research programs, in-license needed technology, or enter into strategic partnerships that would help us bring our product candidates to market.

In addition, any future patent litigation, interference, or other administrative proceedings will result in additional expense and distraction of our personnel. An adverse outcome in such litigation or proceedings may expose us or our strategic partners to loss of our proprietary position, expose us to significant liabilities, or require us to seek licenses that may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

We may fail to comply with any of our obligations under existing agreements pursuant to which we license rights or technology, which could result in the loss of rights or technology that are material to our business.

We are a party to technology licenses that are important to our business and we may enter into additional licenses in the future. We currently hold licenses from Medical College of Wisconsin, University of California at San Francisco, Ludwig Institute, BioWa, Lonza, and Sanofi. These licenses impose various commercial, milestone payment, royalty, insurance, indemnification, and other obligations on us. If we fail to comply with these obligations, the licensor may have the right to terminate the license, in which event we would lose valuable rights under our collaboration agreements and our ability to develop product candidates.

We may be subject to claims that our consultants or independent contractors have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their other clients or former employers to us.

As is common in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry, we engage the services of consultants to assist us in the development of our product candidates. Many of these consultants were previously employed at, or may have previously or may be currently providing consulting services to, other biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies including our competitors or potential competitors. We may become subject to claims that our company or a consultant inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other information proprietary to their former employers or their former or current clients. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to our management team.

Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.

As is the case with other biopharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly patents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the biopharmaceutical industry involve technological and legal complexity. Therefore, obtaining and enforcing biopharmaceutical patents is costly, time consuming, and inherently uncertain. In addition, Congress may pass patent reform legislation. The Supreme Court has ruled on several patent cases in recent years, either narrowing the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakening the rights of patent owners in certain situations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty with respect to the value of patents, once obtained. Depending on decisions by the U.S. Congress, the federal courts, and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that would weaken our ability to obtain new patents or to enforce our existing patents and patents we might obtain in the future.

Risks Associated with our Capital Stock

No public market exists for our securities and we cannot assure you that our common stock will be listed on any securities exchange or quoted on any over-the-counter quotation system or that an active trading market will ever develop for any of our securities.

There is no public market for our capital stock. Following the effectiveness of this Form 10, we intend to register for resale under the Securities Act, the common stock issuable upon conversion of our preferred stock and will seek to list our common stock on the NYSE, Amex, or the NASDAQ Stock Market within the next eighteen months. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of any of such markets or any other stock exchange, or predict the timing of such listing or that, if quoted, we will be able to maintain such a listing. If our common stock is listed on an over-the-counter system, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock that would be the case if and when we list on the NYSE, Amex, the NASDAQ Stock Market or other stock exchange.

Because we are becoming a reporting company under the Exchange Act by means of filing this Form 10, we may not be able to attract the attention of research analysts at major brokerage firms.

Because we do not intend to become a reporting company by conducting an underwritten initial public offering (IPO) of our common stock, we do not expect security analysts of major brokerage firms to provide coverage of our company in the near future. In addition, major investment banks may be less likely to agree to underwrite secondary offerings on our behalf than they might if we were to become a public reporting company by means of an IPO. The failure to receive research coverage or support in the market for our shares would have an adverse effect on our ability to develop a liquid market for our common stock.

Requirements associated with being a public company will increase our costs significantly, as well as divert significant company resources and management attention.

Prior to this offering, we have not been subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, or the other rules and regulations of the SEC or any securities exchange relating to public companies. We are working with our legal, independent accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial and management control systems to manage our growth and our obligations as a public company. These areas include corporate governance, corporate control, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and other areas. However, the expenses that will be required in order to adequately prepare for being a public company could be material. Compliance with the various reporting and other requirements applicable to public companies will also require considerable time and attention of management. In addition, the changes we make may not be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our obligations as a public company on a timely basis.

In addition, being a public company could make it more difficult or more costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers.

Our common stock may become subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules, so broker-dealers may experience difficulty in completing customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.

The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock may be less than $5.00 per share for some period of time and therefore would be a “penny stock” according to SEC rules, unless we are listed on a national securities exchange. Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors must:

 

   

make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser;

 

   

receive the purchaser’s prior written agreement to the transaction;

 

   

provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents that identify certain risks associated with investing in “penny stocks” and that describe the market for these “penny stocks” as well as a purchaser’s legal remedies; and

 

   

obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before a transaction in a “penny stock” can be completed.

 

31


Table of Contents

If required to comply with these rules, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.

Even if an active trading market develops for our common stock, our stock price may experience substantial volatility as a result of a number of factors, including:

 

   

sales or potential sales of substantial amounts of our common stock;

 

   

delay or failure in initiating or completing preclinical studies or clinical trials, or unsatisfactory results of these trials;

 

   

announcements about us or about our competitors including clinical trial results, regulatory approvals, or new product introductions;

 

   

developments concerning our licensors or product manufacturers;

 

   

litigation and other developments relating to our patents or other proprietary rights or those of our competitors;

 

   

conditions in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries;

 

   

governmental regulation and legislation;

 

   

variations in our anticipated or actual operating results; and

 

   

change in securities analysts’ estimates of our performance, or our failure to meet analysts’ expectations.

Many of these factors are beyond our control. The stock markets in general, and the market for pharmaceutical and biotechnological companies in particular, have historically experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market and industry factors could reduce the market price of our common stock regardless of our actual operating performance

Following the effectiveness of this Form 10, we may file a registration statement to register for resale the shares underlying our preferred stock. The availability of a substantial number of shares for resale may adversely impact any trading market that may develop for our common stock.

Following the effectiveness of this Form 10, we may file a registration statement under the Securities Act to permit the resale of the shares of common stock underlying our outstanding preferred stock. Following the effective date of such registration statement, a large number of shares of common stock will become available for sale in the public market. In addition, there are a substantial number of shares of our common stock underlying outstanding options and warrants. The availability of a substantial number of shares for resale under the registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act may adversely impact any trading market that may develop for our common stock.

We currently have outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock, Series B-1 preferred stock, Series B-2 preferred stock, Series C preferred stock, Series D preferred stock, and Series E preferred stock that have special rights that could limit our ability to undertake corporate transactions, inhibit potential changes of control and reduce the proceeds available to our common stockholders in the event of a change in control.

We currently have outstanding two classes of stock, common stock and preferred stock, and there are six series of preferred stock, Series A preferred stock, Series B-1 preferred stock, Series B-2 preferred stock, Series C preferred stock, Series D preferred stock, and Series E preferred stock. The holders of preferred stock, voting together, are entitled to elect two directors to our board. Pursuant to the terms of our amended and restated voting agreement, the parties to the agreement have agreed to vote their shares in such a way as to ensure that one director elected by the holders of preferred stock shall be a nominee of Sofinnova Ventures for so long as Sofinnova Ventures (or its affiliates) continues to hold at least five percent of our outstanding common stock, including shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our preferred stock, options, and warrants. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence—Voting Agreement.”

The holders of our preferred stock are entitled to various protective rights and certain consents from them are required before we are able to take certain actions, including the following:

 

   

amend our certificate of incorporation or bylaws;

 

   

redeem or pay a dividend on any of our capital stock;

 

   

create indebtedness in excess of $500,000;

 

32


Table of Contents
   

enter into non-debt financial commitments in excess of $100,000 outside the ordinary course of business;

 

   

change the size of our board of directors;

 

   

create a new stock plan or amend an existing stock plan;

 

   

issue securities for licenses to technology or pharmaceutical drugs or compounds; or

 

   

consummate a liquidation event or other change of control transaction.

In addition, the holders of our preferred stock have anti-dilution protection under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which provides that in the event we issue additional shares of our common stock, options or rights to purchase our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock without consideration or at a price per share that is less than the then-effective conversion price of any series of our preferred stock, the conversion price of such series of preferred stock will be adjusted on a weighted average formula. As a result of such adjustments, each share of preferred stock would convert into a greater number of shares of our common stock.

As a result of the rights our preferred stockholders have, we may not be able to undertake certain corporate transactions, including equity or debt offerings necessary to raise sufficient capital to run our business, change of control transactions, or other transactions that may otherwise be beneficial to our businesses. In addition, the holders of our preferred stock will receive preferential payment in the event of certain change of control or liquidation transactions, possibly reducing the proceeds that would be available to our common stockholders. These provisions may discourage, delay, or prevent a merger, acquisition, or other change in control of our company that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which our common stockholders might otherwise receive a premium price for their shares. Share of our preferred stock are also entitled to cumulative dividends. See “Item 11. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered—Preferred Stock” for more detailed description of the rights of our preferred stock. If a trading market for our common stock were to be established, the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected by the rights of our preferred stockholders and lead investors. In addition, because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors.

We have never paid and do not intend to pay cash dividends.

We have never paid cash dividends on any of our capital stock and we currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and Delaware law could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company and may affect the trading price of our common stock.

We are a Delaware corporation and the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control by prohibiting us from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of 3 years after the person becomes an interested stockholder, even if a change in control would be beneficial to our existing stockholders. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in our management or control over us that stockholders may consider favorable. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws:

 

   

authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that could be issued by our board of directors to thwart a takeover attempt;

 

   

establish a classified board of directors, as a result of which the successors to the directors whose terms have expired will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following their election;

 

   

require that directors only be removed from office for cause and only upon a majority stockholder vote;

 

   

provide that vacancies on our board of directors, including newly created directorships, may be filled only by a majority vote of directors then in office;

 

   

limit who may call special meetings of stockholders;

 

   

prohibit stockholder action by written consent, requiring all actions to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders;

 

   

do not provide stockholders with the ability to cumulate their votes;

 

   

require supermajority stockholder voting to effect certain amendments to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws; and

 

   

require advance notification of stockholder nominations and proposals.

Item 2. Financial Information.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in the following discussion and throughout this report that are not historical in nature are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “intend,” “believe,” and similar expressions. Although we believe the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements are inherently subject to risk and we can give no assurances that our expectations will prove to be correct. Actual results could differ from those described in this report because of numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, without limitation, those described under Item 1A “Risk Factors.” We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect actual outcomes. The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Form 10.

Overview

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on monoclonal antibody therapeutics for diseases that are a significant burden to society and patients and their families. We are developing patient-targeted, first -in-class medicines to treat serious medical conditions. Our primary clinical focus is on respiratory diseases and cancer. Our principal pharmaceutical product candidates in clinical development are:

 

   

KB001-A, a Humaneered™, anti-PcrV PEGylated Fab´ form of antibody that is being developed for the prevention and treatment of Pa infections in mechanically ventilated patients and chronically infected CF patients;

 

   

KB003, a Humaneered anti-granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor monoclonal antibody that is being developed for the treatment of asthma unresponsive to corticosteroids; and

 

   

KB004, a Humaneered™ antibody directed against EphA3 receptor tyrosine kinase which we believe has the potential to offer a novel approach to treating both hematologic malignancies and solid cancer tumors.

KB001-A and KB003 are scheduled to begin randomized placebo controlled Phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment of respiratory diseases in the third quarter of 2012 and early 2013, respectively. KB004 is in Phase 1 clinical testing for hematological malignancies. We will need to raise additional capital in order to complete our Phase 2 clinical trials.

In January 2010, we entered into an agreement granting Sanofi exclusive worldwide rights to commercialize KB001-A for all indications, the lead indication being the prevention of ventilator associated pneumonia caused by Pa infection ( Pa VAP) in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Under the agreement, we received an upfront payment of $35 million and a $5 million payment in August 2011. We have the potential to receive additional clinical and regulatory contingent payments up to an aggregate $250 million if certain events are achieved, together with tiered royalties based upon global net sales of KB001-A.

We licensed our proprietary Humaneered™ antibody technology to Novartis in 2007 on a non-exclusive basis and received a license fee of $30 million. We are not currently actively pursuing the license of our Humaneered™ technology to third parties and we are not expecting to receive future revenue from additional licenses to this technology.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and review our estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

34


Table of Contents

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Our contract revenues are generated primarily through research and development collaboration agreements, which may include nonrefundable, non-creditable upfront fees, funding for research and development efforts, and milestone or other contingent payments for achievements with regards to our licensed products. We have not materially modified any previous collaboration agreements or entered into any new agreements in 2011, nor have we received any milestone payments in 2011. Therefore, all collaboration agreements have been accounted for in accordance with the accounting guidance applicable to such arrangements prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, and ASU 2010-17, Revenue Recognition – Milestone Method.

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; transfer of technology has been completed, services are performed or products have been delivered; the fee is fixed and determinable; and collection is reasonably assured.

For multiple element arrangements, we evaluate whether the components of each arrangement were to be accounted for as separate units of accounting based on certain criteria. Upfront payments for licensing our intellectual property to date have not been separable from the activity of providing research and development services because the license has not been assessed to have stand-alone value separate from the research and development services provided. Such upfront payments are recorded as deferred revenue in the balance sheet and are recognized as contract revenue over the contractual or estimated substantive performance period, which is consistent with the term of the research and development obligations contained in the research and development collaboration agreement.

Payments resulting from our research and development efforts under license agreements are recognized as the activities are performed and are presented on a gross basis. Revenue is recorded gross because we act as a principal, with discretion to choose suppliers, bear credit risk and perform part of the services.

Substantive, at-risk milestone payments are recognized as revenue when the milestone is achieved and collectability is reasonably assured. When contingent payments are not for substantive and at-risk milestones, revenue is recognized over the estimated remaining term of the related service period or, if there are no continuing performance obligations under the arrangement, upon receipt provided that collection is reasonably assured and other revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied.

Research and Development Expenses

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our accrued research and development expenses. This process involves reviewing contracts and purchase orders, reviewing the terms of our license agreements, communicating with our applicable personnel to identify services that have been performed on our behalf and estimating the level of service performed and the associated cost incurred for the service when we have not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of actual cost. The majority of our service providers invoice us monthly in arrears for services performed. We make estimates of our accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date in our consolidated financial statements based on facts and circumstances known to us at that time. We periodically confirm the accuracy of our estimates with the service providers and make adjustments if necessary. Examples of estimated accrued research and development expenses include fees to:

 

   

contract research organizations and other service providers in connection with clinical studies;

 

   

contract manufacturers in connection with the production of clinical trial materials;

 

   

vendors in connection with preclinical development activities.

We base our expenses related to clinical studies on our estimates of the services received and efforts expended pursuant to contracts with multiple research institutions and contract research organizations that conduct and manage clinical studies on our behalf. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation, vary from contract to contract and may result in uneven payment flows and expense recognition. Payments under some of these contracts depend on factors such as the successful enrollment of patients and the completion of clinical trial milestones. In accruing service fees, we estimate the time period over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended in each period. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from our estimate, we adjust the accrual accordingly. Our understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in our reporting changes in estimates in any particular period.

Stock-Based Compensation

We expense stock-based compensation to employees over the requisite service period based on the estimated grant-date fair value-based measurement of the awards and considering estimated forfeiture rates. For stock-based compensation awards to non-employees, we re-measure the fair value-based measurement of the non-employee awards at each reporting period prior to vesting and finally at the vesting date of the award. Changes in the estimated fair value-based measurement of these non-employee awards are recognized as compensation expense in the period of change.

Determining the appropriate fair value-based measurement of stock-based awards requires the use of subjective assumptions. In the absence of a public trading market for our common stock, we conducted periodic assessments of the valuation of our common stock. These valuations were performed concurrently with the achievement of significant milestones, with major financing transactions or when prior valuations became stale under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The determination of the fair value-based measurement of options using an option-pricing model is affected by our estimated common stock fair value as well as assumptions regarding a number of other subjective variables. These other variables include the expected term of the options, our expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the options, stock option exercise and cancellation behaviors, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividends, which are estimated as follows:

 

   

Fair Value of our Common Stock: Because our stock is not publicly traded, we must estimate its fair value, as discussed in “Common Stock Valuations” below.

 

   

Expected Term: We do not believe we are able to rely on our historical exercise and post-vesting termination activity to provide accurate data for estimating the expected term for use in determining the fair value-based measurement of our options. Therefore, we have opted to use the “simplified method” for estimating the expected term of options.

 

   

Volatility: As we do not have a trading history for our common stock, the expected stock price volatility for our common stock was estimated by taking the average historic price volatility for industry peers based on daily price observations over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. Industry peers consist of several public companies in the biopharmaceutical industry similar in size, stage of life cycle and financial leverage. We did not rely on implied volatilities of traded options in our industry peers’ common stock because the volume of activity was relatively low. We intend to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of our own common stock share price becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to us, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be utilized in the calculation.

 

   

Risk-free Rate: The risk-free interest rate is based on the yields of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities similar to the expected term of the options for each option group.

 

   

Dividend Yield: We have never declared or paid any cash dividends and do not presently plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, we used an expected dividend yield of zero.

The estimation of the number of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period in which estimates are revised. Forfeitures are estimated such that we only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest, and adjustments are made if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010, and 2011, stock-based compensation expense was $0.3 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2012, stock-based compensation expense was $55,000 and $21,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012, we had approximately $0.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense, net of related forfeiture estimates, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.6 years and 2.7 years, respectively.

If any of the assumptions used in a Black-Scholes model changes significantly, stock-based compensation for future awards may differ materially compared with the awards granted previously.

Common Stock Valuations

The fair value of the common stock underlying our stock options and restricted stock was determined by our board of directors, which intended all options granted to be exercisable at a price per share not less than the per share fair value of our common stock underlying those options on the date of grant. All stock awards previously granted or to be granted in the future were or are expected to be granted at the grant date fair value of the award. The valuations of our common stock were determined in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. Valuation analysis of our common stock was performed by third party valuation specialists. The methodology used by the third party valuation specialists to determine the fair value of our common stock included estimating the fair value of the enterprise, subtracting the fair value of debt from this enterprise value, and then allocating this value using the Option Pricing Method to all of the equity interests. The assumptions used in the valuation model to determine the fair value of our common stock as of the date of each option and restricted stock award, are based on numerous objective and subjective factors combined with management judgment including the following:

 

   

progress of research and development activities;

 

   

our operating and financial performance;

 

   

market conditions;

 

   

developmental milestones achieved;

 

   

sales of our convertible preferred stock in arms-length transactions;

 

   

business risks; and

 

   

management and Board experience.

Management and our board of directors performed valuation analyses with the assistance of independent valuation specialists to determine the then current fair value of our common stock. To facilitate these valuation analyses, we developed projections of our future revenues and operating expenses. Key assumptions reflected in the income approach calculations included the anticipated timing of a potential liquidity event, the estimated volatility of our common stock, the discount rate applied to the future cash flows and the discount for lack of marketability of our common stock. These income approach assumptions are set forth below for each of the valuations performed as of November 30, 2010 and 2011:

 

     November 30,
     2010   2011

Common Stock Value per Share

   $0.41   $0.61

Time to Liquidity (in years)

   0.5   2.0

   57%   53%

Discounted Cash Flow Discount Rate

   14%   14%

Risk-Free Interest Rate

   0.21%   0.25%

Marketability Discount Rate

   20%   27%

For grants of stock awards made on dates for which there was no valuation performed by an independent valuation specialist, our board of directors determined the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant based upon the immediately preceding valuation and other pertinent information available to it at the time of grant.

A valuation was performed by management and our board of directors with the assistance of an independent valuation specialist as of November 30, 2010 that determined the fair value of our common stock to be $0.41 per share. This valuation was performed in accordance with applicable elements of the technical practice aid issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants entitled Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation , or the Practice Aid. Given our current stage of development, risks and considering we are not expected to realize any revenues from our three products in the near future, the market approach is not practical for application. Furthermore, the applicability of Guideline Public Companies Trading Multiples Approach is limited due to lack of close comparable guideline public companies in terms of business description, size, business model, stage of development and risks. Accordingly, income approach was used. For the income approach, the specialist utilized the capital asset pricing model to estimate the rate of return required by investors. To facilitate the valuation, we prepared a discounted cash flow analysis by developing projections of revenues and operating expenses and the specialist used a weighted-average cost of capital of 14%, which takes into consideration a company specific risk premium, market risk premium and an assumed risk free rate of return. We applied a marketability discount of 20%. In calculating the marketability discount as of November 30, 2010 using the same commonly-applied industry model as in our previous valuations, we made the following assumptions: 0.5 year period of restriction; 57% volatility metric using a 50:50 weighting of historical volatility and implied volatility; a 0% dividend yield as a percentage of stock price; and a risk-free interest rate of 0.21%. We used a time to liquidity of 0.5 of a year as we anticipated at the time of the valuation that we were likely to be acquired by companies interested in our programs and technology. The volatility factor used was estimated by taking the average historic price volatility for publicly traded industry peers based on daily price observations over the period. The risk-free interest rate was based on the yields of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities similar to the time to liquidity. A marketability discount is used to factor in that private companies are generally less liquid than public companies. Based on the income approach valuation analyses, our board of directors determined the fair value of our common stock at November 30, 2010 to be $0.41 per share.

To provide a reasonable estimate of the fair value of our common stock as of November 30, 2011, an independent valuation specialist prepared an updated discounted cash flow analysis, based on updating our revenue and operating expense projections for changes in product candidates, including our decision to pursue the asthma market for our KB003 program in a Phase 2 study rather than rheumatoid arthritis, as well as an assessment of industry and market trends and risks associated with achieving success, including our declining cash balances. For the income approach, the specialist utilized the capital asset pricing model to estimate the rate of return required by investors. In performing the valuation, a weighted-average cost of capital of 14% was applied to the projections, which takes into consideration a company specific risk premium, market risk premium and an assumed risk free rate of return. A marketability discount of 27% was applied using the same commonly-applied industry model as in our previous valuations. In the second half of 2011, because we did not receive any further acquisition interest from other companies, we continued to focus our development efforts on our programs and initiated Series E preferred stock fund raising efforts. Accordingly, we modified our estimated time to liquidity to 2.0 years, when we estimated that we would have data from one or both of our trials for the KB001-A program for treating patients with cystic fibrosis and KB003 for treating patients with asthma not adequately controlled by corticosteroids, which could attract potential acquirers and new partners or possibly lead to an initial public offering of our common stock. The volatility factor used was estimated by taking the average historic price volatility for publicly traded industry peers based on daily price observations over the period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yields of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities with similar time to liquidity. The marketability discount is used to factor in that private companies are generally less liquid than public companies. Based on the income approach valuation analyses, our board of directors determined the fair value of our common stock at November 30, 2011 to be $0.61 per share.

Results of Operations

General

To date, we have not generated any net income from operations and at March 31, 2012 had an accumulated deficit of $75.9 million primarily as a result of expenditures for research and development and general and administrative expenses. While we may in the future generate revenue from a variety of sources, including license fees, milestone payments, research and development payments in connection with strategic partnerships, our product candidates are at an early stage of development and may never be successfully developed or commercialized. Accordingly, we expect to continue to incur substantial losses from operations for the foreseeable future and there can be no assurance that we will ever generate significant revenue.

Contract Revenue

Our recent revenue is comprised primarily of collaboration agreement-related revenue. Collaboration agreement-related revenue has included license fees, payments for research and development services and milestone and other contingent payments.

Research &Development Expenses

Conducting research and development is central to our business model. For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012, research and development expenses were $22.9 million, $18.9 million, $18.5 million, $5.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively. research and development expenses consist primarily of:

 

   

employee-related expenses, which include salaries and benefits, and overhead expense;

 

   

expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials and a substantial portion of our preclinical activities;

 

   

the cost of acquiring and manufacturing clinical trial materials; and

 

   

other costs associated with development activities, including additional studies.

We expect to continue to incur substantial expenses related to our development activities for the foreseeable future as we continue product development and initiate Phase 2 clinical trials for our KB001-A CF program and KB003 severe asthma program, as well as our ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial for our KB004 program. Since product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later stage clinical trials, we expect that our research and development expenses will increase in the future. In addition, if our product development efforts are successful, we expect to incur substantial costs to prepare for potential clinical trials and activities beyond the currently planned Phase 2 trials for KB001-A and KB003 as well as Phase 1 trial for KB004.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist principally of personnel-related costs, professional fees for legal, consulting, audit and tax services, rent and other general operating expenses not otherwise included in research and development. For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012, general and administrative expenses were $5.2 million, $4.9 million, $4.0 million, $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively. We anticipate general and administrative expenses will increase in future periods, reflecting an expanding infrastructure and increased professional fees associated with being a public reporting company under the Exchange Act.

Contract revenue in each period related solely to our arrangement with Sanofi in which we licensed the KB001-A program to Sanofi in 2010. Contract revenue decreased $1.3 million from the three months ended March 31, 2011 to the three months ended March 31, 2012. This decrease was mainly attributable to a change in the estimated period of our substantive performance obligations with Sanofi originally estimated to be completed by March 2012. We agreed to provide Sanofi with additional transition services through June 2012. This decrease was partially offset by the additional $0.9 million revenue recognized related to the $5 million payment received from Sanofi in August 2011 that is being recognized ratably through June 30, 2012.

Research and development expenses decreased $1.8 million, from $5.0 million to $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. This was primarily due to a $0.9 million decrease in payroll related expenses, including travel and supplies, resulting from a headcount reduction of 19 employees in our research and development organization during 2011, and a $0.7 million decrease related to less spending for clinical trial expenses for our KB003 rheumatoid arthritis program and less development and manufacturing activities for our KB004 program. These decreases were partially offset by increased spending for our KB001-A program for cystic fibrosis. We discontinued our KB003 rheumatoid arthritis program because we believed the RA market was becoming increasingly competitive. We intend to continue the development of KB003 in the third quarter of 2012 with a Phase 2 study in asthma inadequately controlled with corticosteroids.

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.1 million from $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a $0.2 million decrease in personnel related costs from a headcount reduction of 5 employees in our general and administrative organization during 2011, offset partially by an increase in legal and accounting fees of $0.1 million to support our financing activities and preparations to become a public company.

Contract revenue in each period related solely to our arrangement with Sanofi in which we licensed the KB001-A program to Sanofi in 2010. Contract revenue increased $2.5 million from the year ended December 31, 2010 to the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to an additional $5.0 million non-refundable payment received in August 2011, of which we recognized $3.3 million in license revenue. This payment represented a second installment of the upfront fees due to us under the agreement with Sanofi for the licensing of our KB001-A program that was being recognized ratably through March 31, 2012, the estimated period over which our substantive performance obligations with Sanofi were expected to be completed. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $1.0 million in reimbursements from Sanofi for the transition efforts related to the collaboration.

Research and development expenses decreased $0.4 million from the year ended December 31, 2010 to the year ended December 31, 2011. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in clinical trial cost of $0.6 million in 2011 and decreases in consulting and personnel related expenses, including salaries, travel and supplies of $0.6 million. The decrease in clinical trial costs is primarily related to higher spending for our KB003 RA program during 2010 as we discontinued the program during 2011. This decrease was partially offset by initiating patient recruitment for our KB004 Phase 1 clinical trial in 2011. The decrease in personnel related expenses was primarily attributed to a reduction of 19 employees in our research and development organization. These decreases from the year ended December 31, 2010, were partially offset by an increase in development expenses of $0.9 million as we initiated six-month toxicity studies and subcutaneous formulation feasibility work for our KB001-A cystic fibrosis program as well as ongoing development of flow assay and screening methods for our KB004 program.

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.9 million from the year ended December 31, 2010 to the year ended December 31, 2011. This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in consulting and personnel related expenses, including salaries, travel and supplies of $0.6 million from headcount reduction of 5 employees in our general and administrative organization during 2011, as well as decreases in legal expenses of $0.3 million attributable to fewer foreign patent filings for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Interest income was $43,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $108,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease was attributed to lower yields from lower investment balances in our portfolio which consisted primarily of government securities, high grade commercial paper and money market funds.

Other expense of $8,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 consists primarily of $48,000 related to the revaluation of our preferred stock warrant liability, offset in part by foreign currency transaction gains of $40,000. Other income of $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 primarily reflects cash grants of $1.0 million received from the Internal Revenue Service under Section 48D of the Internal Revenue Code for the Qualified Therapeutic Discovery Project Program. All conditions to earn the grant were completed in the year ended December 31, 2010.

Contract revenue increased $17.1 million from the year ended December 31, 2009 to the year ended December 31, 2010. This increase was primarily related to the upfront payment of $35 million received from Sanofi in connection with the collaboration agreement we executed in January 2010. Of the upfront payment, $15.4 million was recognized as revenue in 2010. We also recorded $2.3 million in contract revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010, for the development services provided related to this agreement.

Research and development expenses were $22.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $18.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Of the $4.0 million decrease, approximately $3.4 million was attributable to the completion of our Phase 1/2 clinical trials for KB001 for cystic fibrosis and ventilated associated pneumonia and Phase 1/2 clinical trials for KB003 for rheumatoid arthritis and asthma in 2009. We also spent less development expenses related to our KB001 program for ventilated associated pneumonia after we signed our collaboration agreement with Sanofi in January 2010, as Sanofi assumed the ongoing development costs under the terms of the agreement. The decrease in research and development expense from 2009 was also attributed to a decrease of personnel related expenses, includes salaries, travel and supplies of approximately $0.8 million from headcount attrition during 2010. These decreases from 2009 were partially offset by an increase of $0.6 million in 2010 for sublicense fees paid to a third party in connection with the Sanofi agreement. Additionally, during 2010, we incurred expenses due to recruiting patients for a follow on safety run-in study for KB003 in rheumatoid arthritis.

General and administrative expenses were $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease from 2009 was attributed primarily to less spending for market research studies and consulting fees for our programs.

Interest income was $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 and $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease was attributed to lower yields from our portfolio which consisted primarily of government securities, high grade commercial paper and money market funds.

Other income (expense), net, consisted primarily of the revaluation of our warrant liability of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 and cash grants of $1.0 million from the Internal Revenue Service under Section 48D of the Internal Revenue Code for the Qualified Therapeutic Discovery Project Program for the year ended December 31, 2010. All conditions to earn the grant were completed in the year ended December 31, 2010.

As of December 31, 2011, we had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $67.0 million to offset future federal income taxes through 2030 and approximately $66.9 million that may offset future state income taxes through 2028. Current federal and state tax laws include substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating losses and tax credits in the event of an ownership change. Even if the carryforwards are available, they may be subject to annual limitations, lack of future taxable income, or future ownership changes that could result in the expiration of the carryforwards before they are utilized. At December 31 2011, we recorded a 100% valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets of approximately $31.0 million, as our management believes it is uncertain that they will be fully realized. If we determine in the future that we will be able to realize all or a portion of our net operating loss carryforwards, an adjustment to our net operating loss carryforwards would increase net income in the period in which we make such a determination.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, we have funded our operations through the sale of equity securities and collaborations with third parties. From September 2008 to March 2009, we completed a private placement of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock which resulted in net proceeds, after offering expenses, of approximately $35.7 million. At March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $14.4 million. In May 2012, the Company issued 5,000,000 million shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock at $3.40 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $15.6 million. We will need to continue to raise capital to complete our ongoing and planned clinical trials.

Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2012 and The Years Ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities decreased $2.0 million from the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to a $1.6 million net change in the components of operating assets and liabilities and a $0.6 million decrease in net loss. Cash used in operating activities decreased $39.4 million from the year ended December 31, 2009 to the year ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to $36.8 million received from the Sanofi collaboration as well as $1.0 million of grants received from the Internal Revenue Service under Section 48D of the Internal Revenue Code for the Qualified Therapeutic Discovery Project Program in 2010 together with a reduction in operating expenses in 2010. Cash used in operating activities decreased $29.7 million from the year ended December 31, 2010, to the year ended December 31, 2011 primarily due to cash used in operations from a $32.4 million net change in the components of operating assets and liabilities driven by a $33.6 million reduction in our deferred revenue related to the Sanofi arrangement partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in net loss.

Investing Activities

Cash used in and provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 consists primarily of purchases of marketable securities offset primarily by proceeds from maturities of marketable securities. Additionally, purchases of property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 were $214,000, $0, $293,000, $68,000 and $463,000, respectively.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities decreased $4.9 million from the year ended December 31, 2009 to the year ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to the issuance of additional shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock which resulted in net proceeds of $5.0 million in 2009. Other financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012 and the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 consisted primarily of proceeds from stock option exercises.

Management believes that cash and cash equivalents as of May 2012, are sufficient to sustain operations for the next 12 months based on our existing business plan and given the ability to control the timing of significant expense commitments.

We expect to incur substantial expenditures in the foreseeable future for the research, development and potential commercialization of our product candidates. We will continue to require additional financing to develop our products and fund operating losses. We will seek funds through equity or debt financings, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate sources, or through other sources of financing, including a public offering. Adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategies. If adequate funds are not available to us, we may be required to delay, reduce or eliminate research and development programs.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

We have lease obligations consisting of an operating lease for our operating facility that commenced in July 2011 and expires June 2014, for approximately 40,000 square feet. We also sublease out approximately 19,000 square feet of our space to separate third parties.

Additionally, from October 1, 2013 to the date on which there is an automatic conversion of all of the outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock, the holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cumulative dividends of $0.17 per share payable whether or not they have been declared by the board of directors. If we fail to pay such dividends, then the dividend rate for the Series E preferred stock will increase to $0.34 per share annually, until such dividends are paid in full All such dividends shall accrue automatically on a daily basis and all accrued and unpaid dividends shall be fully paid quarterly prior to payment of any other dividend.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have, nor have we ever had, any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. We are exposed to market risk related to fluctuations in interest rates, market prices, and foreign currency exchange rates. However, since a majority of our investments are in short-term FDIC-insured government securities, corporate bonds, and money market funds, we do not believe we are subject to any material market risk exposure. As of December 31, 2011, and March 31, 2012, we did not have any derivative financial instruments. The fair value of our marketable securities, including those included in cash equivalents and marketable securities, was $17.8 million and $14.4 million as of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012, respectively.

Our investment policy is to limit credit exposure through diversification and investment in highly rated securities. We actively review, along with our investment advisors, current investment ratings, company specific events and general economic conditions in managing our investments and in determining whether there is a significant decline in fair value that is other-than-temporary. We monitor and evaluate our investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for other-than-temporary impairment charges.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Pursuant to Section 404 of SOX, our management will be required to report on, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess our internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation. To comply with the requirements of being a reporting company under the Exchange Act, we may need to upgrade our systems, including information technology, implement additional financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures and hire additional accounting and finance staff.

As a private company with limited resources, historically we have not had sufficient accounting and supervisory personnel with the appropriate level of technical accounting experience and training necessary for, or adequate documented accounting policies and procedures to support effective internal controls to comply with Section 404 of SOX. We are in the process of commencing the documentation, review and improvement of our internal controls over financial reporting for compliance with Section 404 of SOX and will make additional efforts to improve our internal controls and accounting policies and procedures, which will include hiring new accounting personnel and engaging external temporary resources. We recently hired our Chief Financial Officer who will begin employment in July 2012. We may identify deficiencies and weaknesses in our internal controls. If material weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal controls exist and go undetected, our financial statements could contain material misstatements that, when discovered in the future could cause us to fail to meet our future reporting obligations and cause the price of our common stock to decline.

All of our employee stock options permit the optionee to exercise and purchase vested as well as unvested shares. Unvested shares so purchased are subject to the Company’s right of repurchase at the optionee’s exercise price in the event the optionee’s service with us terminates prior to the end of the applicable vesting term. Accordingly, these columns reflect that all of our outstanding options are exercisable, whether or not the underlying shares are vested.

Narrative to Compensation Tables

Annual Performance Share Awards

We have for the past several years granted annual performance-based restricted share awards (“Performance Shares”) to our Senior Management Team (“SMT”) members. These awards are intended to be an annual incentive program that keeps our management team focused on shorter-term objectives that further our longer-term business strategy, and we offer this program instead of offering an annual cash bonus program. As in prior years, early in 2011 our Board of Directors granted our named executive officers unvested restricted shares subject to performance and service conditions. In addition to those newly-granted shares, Mr. Pritchard and Dr. Yarranton each held unvested shares of stock that had been granted but not vested pursuant to the Company’s performance share award grants made in prior years. Footnote 4 under the “Outstanding Awards at Fiscal 2011 Year-End” table above sets forth the number of unvested shares granted in 2011, the number of “roll-over” shares that Mr. Pritchard and Dr. Yarranton had, and the total number of shares that vested based upon fiscal year 2011 performance.

Each year, our Compensation Committee, applies multiple corporate-level performance objectives to the Performance Share awards. These objectives are generally similar to the objectives set forth in our annual corporate plan and many relate to specific clinical and regulatory milestones for our products in development. The performance conditions that applied to Mr. Pritchard’s 2011 Performance Share award were solely based on total corporate-level performance. In addition, for officers other than our Chief Executive Officer, the conditions that applied to the 2011 Performance Share awards also included certain individual objectives.

Unlike in recent years, during which the Performance Share award program was managed on a complete fiscal year basis, in 2011 our Board of Directors determined to evaluate performance based upon January to September 2011 performance, with the intention of next evaluating performance after June 2012. This has the effect of converting the program from an annual incentive program to one that operates on successive nine month periods. Our Compensation Committee has not yet determined whether it will continue to run the Performance Share program on a nine-month cycle or revert to an annual cycle, or even whether it will continue the program beyond June 30, 2012.

Based upon its determination in early 2012 of the extent to which the performance objectives had been achieved during the January to September 2011 period, our Compensation Committee determined that the company achieved 50% of its corporate goals for the 9 month period ended and therefore, the 2011 Performance Share awards should vest at the 37.5% level, meaning that 37.5% of the target number of shares were determined to have vested as of January 13, 2012. No determination has yet been made as to the level of achievement for the 9-month period that began on October 1, 2011. As reflected in the table in Footnote 4 under the “Outstanding Awards at Fiscal 2011 Year-End” table above, Mr. Pritchard and Dr. Yarranton each continue to hold unvested Performance Shares some or all of which may vest in the future.

Stock Options

We offer stock options to our employees as the long-term incentive component of our compensation program. Our stock options allow our employees to purchase shares of our Common Stock at a price equal to the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. In the past, our Board of Directors has determined the fair market value of our Common Stock based upon inputs including valuation reports prepared by third party valuation firms. Generally, our stock options granted to new hires have vested as 25% of the total number of option shares granted on the first anniversary of the award and in equal monthly installments over the ensuring 36 months, whereas subsequent grants to employees generally vest in equal monthly installments over 48 months. We also have generally offered our employees the opportunity to purchase the unvested shares subject to their options, with the Company retaining a right to repurchase from the employee any shares that remain unvested if the employee’s services with us terminate prior to the date on which the options are fully vested. Additional information about our stock plans is provided below under “Equity Plans.”

Employment and Severance Agreements

Each of our named executive officers has entered into agreements with the Company that provides severance benefits in connection with an involuntary termination within 12 months after a change in control of the Company, as described below.

Pursuant to his offer letter, as amended, if Mr. Pritchard is subject to an involuntary termination within 12 months after a change in control of the Company he is entitled to continued payment of his base salary for a period of 12 months, a pro-rata portion of his target bonus, if any, established for the fiscal year in which his employment terminates, payment of COBRA premiums for up to 12 months and full acceleration of his then unvested option shares.

Pursuant to a letter agreement with the Company, if Dr. Leff were to be subject to an involuntary termination within 12 months after a change in control of the Company he would be entitled to continued payment of his base salary for a period of 12 months, a pro-rata portion of his target bonus, if any, established for the fiscal year in which his employment terminates, payment of COBRA premiums for up to 12 months, vesting credit for each outstanding and entirely unvested option equal to the number of whole months of service provided from the vesting commencement date until the effective date of the involuntary termination over the total number of months of service to fully vest in such option, and acceleration of 50% of his then unvested option shares. Dr. Leff’s employment terminated in February 2012 and, therefore, the provisions described in the paragraph are not applicable.

Pursuant to a letter agreement, as amended, with the Company, if Dr. Yarranton is subject to an involuntary termination within 12 months after a change in control of the Company he is entitled to continued payment of his base salary for a period of 12 months, a pro-rata portion of his target bonus, if any, established for the fiscal year in which his employment terminates and payment of COBRA premiums for up to 12 months. Additionally, pursuant to the applicable Stock Option Agreement, if Dr. Yarranton is subject to an involuntary termination within 12 months after a change in control of the Company he is entitled to acceleration of 50% of his then unvested portion.

All of the severance benefits described above, except for Dr. Yarranton’s acceleration benefit, are contingent on the execution of a general release of claims against us.

Dr. Leff’s employment with the Company terminated on February 24, 2012. Mr. Leff was not eligible for and did not receive any severance benefits in connection with his termination.

For purposes of our officer agreements, the following definitions, or substantially similar versions, are used:

An “involuntary termination” can occur in one of two ways. First, it could occur if the Company were to terminate the employment relationship other than due to the employee’s engaging in misconduct, such as unauthorized disclosure of the Company’s confidential information, a material breach of an agreement with the Company or of a Company policy, a felony conviction, or other serious failures by the employee in performing his duties to the Company. Secondly it could occur if the employee were to resign following the Company’s materially reducing his position or base salary, or relocating his principal workplace by more than 30 miles.

A “change in control” means either a merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization of the Company as a result of which persons who were not stockholders before the transaction own more than 50% of the securities of the Company or a parent of the Company, or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Equity Plans

2012 Equity Incentive Plan

Our board of directors adopted the terms and conditions of our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan in May 2012. Our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan will replace the 2001 Stock Plan. No further awards will be made under our 2001 Stock Plan after this registration. However, the options outstanding after this registration under the 2001 Stock Plan will continue to be governed by their existing terms.

In general, to the extent that awards under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan are forfeited or lapse without the issuance of shares, those shares will again become available for awards. In addition, shares subject to awards outstanding under our 2001 Stock Plan that are forfeited or lapse without shares being issued after this registration will be available for awards under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. All share numbers described in this summary of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (including exercise prices for options and stock appreciation rights) are automatically adjusted in the event of a subdivision of the outstanding common stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in common stock or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of common stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of common stock.

Administration.  Our board of directors intends to administer the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. The board of directors has complete discretion to make all decisions relating to the plan and outstanding awards.

stock appreciation rights;

performance cash awards.

Change of Control.  Our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan provides that in the event of a change of control, as defined under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, each outstanding award will be treated as the board of directors determines. The board of directors may provide, in an individual award agreement or in any other written agreement between a participant and us, that an award will be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the event of a change in control.

Amendments or Termination.  Our board of directors may amend or terminate the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan at any time. If our board of directors amends the plan, it does not need to ask for stockholder approval of the amendment unless required by applicable law, regulation or rule. The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan will continue in effect for 10 years from its adoption date, unless our board of directors decides to terminate the plan earlier.

2001 Stock Plan

Our 2001 Stock Plan was adopted by our board of directors on May 31, 2001, and our stockholders approved it on June 20, 2001. The most recent amendment to the 2001 Stock Plan was adopted by our board of directors on January 26, 2011. No further awards will be made under our 2001 Stock Plan after this registration. However, the options outstanding after this registration under the 2001 Stock Plan will continue to be governed by their existing terms.

Share Reserve. We have reserved 12,138,371 shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2001 Stock Plan, all of which may be issued as incentive stock options. In general, if options or shares awarded under the 2001 Stock Plan are reacquired or repurchased by us or otherwise forfeited by a 2001 Stock Plan participant, then those shares or option shares will again become available for awards under the 2001 Stock Plan.

Change of Control. Our 2001 Stock Plan provides that in the event of a change of control, as defined under our 2001 Stock Plan, each outstanding option will become fully vested unless continued, assumed or substituted by the surviving corporation or its parent. The board of directors may provide, in an individual award agreement or in any other written agreement between a participant and us, that an award will be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the event of a change in control.

Amendments or Termination. Our board of directors may amend or terminate the 2001 Stock Plan at any time. If our board of directors amends the plan, it does not need to ask for stockholder approval of the amendment unless the amendment increases the number of shares available for issuance, materially changes the class of persons eligible to receive incentive stock options or is otherwise required by applicable law. The 2001 Stock Plan will continue in effect for 10 years from the later of its adoption date or the date of approval of the latest share increase, unless our board of directors decides to terminate the plan earlier.

Related Party Transactions

The following is a description of transactions since January 1, 2010 to which we have been a party, in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000, and in which any of our directors, executive officers or beneficial owners of more than 5% of our preferred stock or common stock, or an affiliate or immediate family member thereof, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than compensation, termination and change-in-control arrangements, which are described under “Executive Compensation.”

Series E Financing

In May 2012, we issued and sold an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $3.40 per share, to the entities affiliated with Fidelity Investments. See “Item 4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” for more details on the shareholdings by the entities affiliated with Fidelity Investments.

Pursuant to this agreement, we granted such stockholders certain registration rights with respect to shares of our common stock. For more information regarding this agreement, see “Item 11.

Item 9. Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.

Market Information

There currently is no established public market for our common stock. Our securities are not listed for trading on any national securities exchange nor are bid or asked quotations reported in any over-the-counter quotation service.

Equity Compensation Plans

We expect that in the future we will file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act registering the common stock subject to outstanding options or reserved for issuance under our 2001 Stock Plan and 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. That registration statement will become effective immediately upon filing, and shares covered by that registration statement will thereupon be eligible for sale in the public markets, subject to grant of the underlying awards, vesting provisions and Rule 144 limitations applicable to our affiliates.

Stock Not Registered under the Securities Act; Rule 144 Eligibility

Our common stock and preferred stock, including our common stock underlying outstanding options, have not been registered under the Securities Act. Accordingly, the shares of common stock and preferred stock issued and outstanding and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of any options may not be resold absent registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an available exemption thereunder.

Rule 144

Shares of our common stock and preferred stock that are restricted securities will be eligible for resale in compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 701 of the Securities Act, subject to the requirements described below. “Restricted securities,” as defined under Rule 144, were issued and sold by us in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. These shares may be sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Rule 701. Below is a summary of the requirements for sales of our common stock and preferred stock pursuant to Rule 144, after the effectiveness of this registration statement.

Beginning 90 days after the effectiveness of this registration statement, a person who is our affiliate or who was our affiliate at any time during the preceding three months and who has beneficially owned restricted securities for at least six months, will generally be entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed one percent of the number of shares in the same class of securities. Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

Persons who may be deemed to be our affiliates generally include individuals or entities that control, or are controlled by, or are under common control with, us and may include our directors and officers, as well as our significant stockholders.

For a person who has not been deemed to have been one of our affiliates at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, sales of our shares of common stock and preferred stock held longer than six months, but less than one year, will be subject only to the current public information requirement and can be sold under Rule 144 beginning 90 days after the effectiveness of this registration statement without restriction. A person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least one year, is entitled to sell his or her shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.

We expect all shares of our common stock and preferred stock, except for our Series E Preferred Stock will be eligible for sale under Rule 144 90 days following the effective date of this registration statement, and we expect the 5,000,000 shares of our Series E Preferred Stock purchased in May 2012 will be eligible for sale under Rule 144 six months after the date of purchase. We cannot estimate the number of shares of our common stock and preferred stock that our existing stockholders will elect to sell under Rule 144.

Rule 701

Rule 701 under the Securities Act permits resales of shares in reliance upon Rule 144 but without compliance with certain restrictions of Rule 144, including the holding period requirement and the volume and public information requirements. Any of our employees, consultants or advisors, other than our affiliates, who purchased shares from us under a written compensatory plan or contract may be entitled to rely on the resale provisions of Rule 701, but all holders of Rule 701 shares are required to wait until 90 days after the effective date of this registration statement before selling their shares under Rule 701. None of our currently outstanding shares, other than the shares that will otherwise become eligible for resale under Rule 144, will become eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 701 90 days following the effective date of this registration statement.

As of May 31, 2012, each share of preferred stock was convertible into common stock on a one-for-one basis.

Dividends

We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on any of our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. We do not intend to pay cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future, subject to the dividends entitled to by the holders of preferred stock summarized below.

Until the earlier of (i) October 31, 2013 and (ii) the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of our preferred stock into common stock, the Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D preferred stock will accrue dividends at a rate of 8% per annum and the Series E preferred stock will accrue dividends at a rate of 5% per annum, payable when and if declared by our board of directors. Such dividends are not cumulative and may be waived by holders of a majority of the shares of preferred stock then outstanding, provided that any waiver of any dividend preference of the Series E preferred stock shall require the consent of the holders of at least 60% of the outstanding shares of Series E preferred stock.

From and after October 31, 2013 and until the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of our preferred stock into common stock, the Series E preferred stock will accrue cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum, or $0.17 per annum, payable in cash (x) on the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2013, (y) upon the consummation of a liquidation event or (z) upon the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into common stock. If we do not have assets legally available to pay such dividends, we must take any action necessary or appropriate to remove any impediments to our ability to pay such dividends, including prioritizing all liquid assets for use to pay the dividends and not making any capital expenditures. In addition, if we do not pay such dividends when they are due, the dividend rate will increase from 5% per annum to 10% per annum until such dividends are paid in full.

See “Item 11. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered—Preferred Stock” for the information regarding certain protective rights of the holders of our preferred stock with respect to the payment of dividends.

Appropriate legends were affixed to the securities issued in these transactions. Each of the recipients of securities in these transactions had adequate access, through employment, business or other relationships, to information about us.

The offers, sales and issuances of the securities described in paragraph 3 were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 506 of Regulation D in that the issuance of securities to the accredited investors did not involve a public offering. The recipients of securities in this transaction acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to the securities issued in these transactions. Each of the recipients of securities in these transactions was an accredited investor under Rule 501 of Regulation D.

Currently, each share of our preferred stock is convertible into common stock on a one-for-one basis.

Outstanding shares of our preferred stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock, at the then effective conversion rate, upon the earliest to occur of:

 

   

our sale of common stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering on the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 or successor form filed under the Securities Act, with a pre-initial public offering valuation of at least $225,000,000 and resulting in gross proceeds to the corporation of not less than $30,000,000 in the aggregate;

 

   

the date of effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1 registering for re-sale by our stockholders shares of common stock issued upon conversion of our preferred stock and, without duplication, shares of common stock issued in, or shares of common stock issued upon conversion of preferred stock issued in, a “PIPE Offering,” which is defined in the amended and restated investors’ rights agreement as a private placement offering of shares of our common stock or preferred stock, in each case, at a price per share not less than $3.40, primarily for working capital purposes that is consummated in connection with which we agree to use our reasonable best efforts to file, in a defined period following such registration, a resale registration statement registering such shares; and

 

   

the date specified by written consent or agreement of the holders of not less than sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that the automatic conversion of each share of Series E Preferred Stock shall also require the written consent or agreement of the holders of not less than sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such conversion is in connection with a liquidation event in which holders of Series D Preferred Stock would receive an amount less than two and one-half times the original purchase price thereof, then the automatic conversion of each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall also require the written consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

Anti-Dilution and Other Adjustments to Conversion Price

Subject to customary exceptions, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides anti-dilution protection for holders of our preferred stock in the event we issue additional shares of our common stock, options or rights to purchase our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock without consideration or at a price per share that is less than the then effective conversion price of any series of our preferred stock, which we refer to as a dilutive issuance. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the conversion price shall be adjusted to protect holders of our preferred stock from certain dilutive issuances based on a weighted average formula.

In addition to the anti-dilution protections described above, the conversion price of our preferred stock is subject to adjustments for stock splits, dividends and recapitalizations, among other things.

Dividends

Until the earlier of (i) October 31, 2013 and (ii) the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of our preferred stock into common stock, the Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D preferred stock will accrue dividends at a rate of 8% per annum and the Series E preferred stock will accrue dividends at a rate of 5% per annum, payable when and if declared by our board of directors. Such dividends are not cumulative and may be waived by holders of a majority of the shares of preferred stock then outstanding, provided that any waiver of any dividend preference of the Series E preferred stock shall require the consent of the holders of at least 60% of the outstanding shares of Series E preferred stock.

Table of Contents

Beginning on October 31, 2013 and until such time as all outstanding shares of our preferred stock are converted into shares of common stock, holders of shares of our Series E preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of 5% per annum, or $0.17 per annum, payable in cash (x) the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2013, (y) upon the consummation of a liquidation event and (z) upon the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock into common stock. If the assets legally available are insufficient to pay such dividends in full, we are required to take any action necessary or appropriate to remove any impediments to our ability to pay the dividends, including prioritizing all liquid assets and not making any capital expenditures. If we fail to pay such dividends, then the dividend rate for the Series E preferred stock will increase to 10% per annum, or $0.34 per annum, until such dividends are paid in full.

Common Stock

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. An election of directors by our stockholders shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote in the election. Subject to the preferential rights of the holders of shares of preferred stock described above, the holders of share of common stock and preferred stock are entitled to share ratably in dividends declared by our board of directors.

In the event of a liquidation event, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive payment out of the proceeds available for distribution to our stockholders, according to the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, after any required payments to holders of preferred stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. Our outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Registration Rights

On May 1, 2012, we entered into the amended and restated investor rights agreement with holders of our preferred stock and certain holders of our common stock. We refer to the shares of our common stock and preferred stock subject to the amended and restated investor rights agreement as registrable shares. Pursuant to the amended and restated investor rights agreement, the holders of registrable shares have the right to require us to register with the SEC the registrable shares or to include those shares in any registration statement we file so that those shares may be freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act. These rights are described in more detail below.

Resale Registration Rights

Upon the effectiveness of this registration statement, we are required pursuant to the amended and restated investor rights agreement to use our reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement on Form S-1, or Resale S-1, covering the resale of shares of our common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of our preferred stock and certain other shares of common stock or preferred stock, if any, that we issue and sell in certain private placement transactions within the next eighteen months.

Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in the shares becoming freely tradable without restrictions under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of such registration. Any sales of securities by holders of these shares could adversely affect the trading prices, if any, of our common stock.

The amended and restated investor rights agreement provides that in the event that the shares referenced above cannot be registered for resale as a secondary offering in a single registration statement or that certain selling stockholders would be deemed to be statutory underwriters, we will file amendments to the Resale S-1 or withdraw the Resale S-1 and file a new registration statement on Form S-1, in either case covering the maximum number of shares permitted to be registered by the SEC and avoid the selling stockholders being deemed to be statutory underwriters. Thereafter, we will use our reasonable best efforts to file, as promptly as allowed, one or more registration statements to register for resale those shares that have not yet been registered.

Demand Registration Rights

At any time after the earliest of (i) May 2, 2013, (ii) 180 days after the effective date of our first firm commitment underwritten public offering of common stock under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to the Resale S-1) or (iii) one year after the effective date of this registration statement, the holders of at least 25% of the registrable shares then outstanding may require that we file a registration statement covering the registration of at least 50% of the registrable shares then outstanding or registrable shares with an anticipated aggregate offering price of at least $10,000,000, net of underwriting discounts and commissions. We are not obligated to file a registration statement pursuant to this provision on more than two occasions or in certain other circumstances described in the amended and restated investor rights agreement.

Table of Contents

Form S-3 Registration Rights

In addition, after our first firm commitment underwritten public offering of common stock under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to the Resale S-1), the holders of registrable shares may request that we register on Form S-3 all or a portion of the registrable shares if the total amount of the shares being registered have an aggregate offering price of at least $1,000,000, subject to certain limitations set forth in the amended and restated investor rights agreement.

“Piggyback” Registration Rights

If we propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act, , the holders of registrable shares are entitled to notice of the registration and have the right to require us to register all or a portion of the registrable shares held by them, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the amended and restated investor rights agreement.

Expenses of Registration

We will pay all expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with all demand registrations, Form S-3 registrations and piggyback registrations, including the reasonable fees of one counsel for the selling holders.

Expiration of Registration Rights

The registration rights described above shall terminate five years after the consummation of our first firm commitment underwritten public offering of common stock under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to the Resale S-1).

Lock-Up Agreements

We and the holders of our preferred stock and certain holders of our common stock have agreed that, if we register shares of our capital stock in an initial firm commitment underwritten public offering (other than pursuant to the Resale S-1), such parties will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period beginning on the date of the final prospectus for such registration statement and ending on the date specified by us and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed 180 days with limited exceptions):

 

   

lend, 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, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock; or

 

   

enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities.

These lock-up provisions will not apply to shares of common stock acquired in such offering or in open market transactions after such offering, and will only be applicable if all of our officers and directors and greater than one percent (1%) stockholders enter into similar agreements. In addition, following effectiveness of the Resale S-1, these provisions will not apply to shares of Series E preferred stock or shares of common stock issued or issuable upon conversion of our Series E preferred stock.

Information Rights

We are required, pursuant to the amended and restated investor rights agreement, to furnish each significant investor with an annual budget, annual financial statements audited by independent public accountants of national reputation, quarterly unaudited financial statements, monthly unaudited financial statements and other information relating to the financial condition of our business as any significant investor may reasonably request. These obligations will terminate upon the earliest of (i) our sale of common stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering on the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 or successor form filed under the Securities Act, with a pre-initial public offering valuation of at least $225,000,000 and resulting in gross proceeds to the corporation of not less than $30,000,000 in the aggregate, (ii) the date on which a Resale S-1 becomes effective or (iii) the consummation of a liquidation event, as defined in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Table of Contents

Participation Rights

Pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated investor rights agreement, each significant investor is entitled to purchase its pro rata share of any future equity offering we conduct, subject to customary exceptions and excluding shares issued in a bona fide, firmly underwritten public offering and certain private placements. The significant investor’s pro rata share is based on ownership of the outstanding common stock on an as-converted basis. Such participation rights terminate upon the earliest of (i) our sale of common stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering on the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 or successor form filed under the Securities Act, with a pre-initial public offering valuation of at least $225,000,000 and resulting in gross proceeds to the corporation of not less than $30,000,000 in the aggregate, (ii) the date on which a Resale S-1 becomes effective or (iii) the consummation of a liquidation event, as defined in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Drag Along Rights

Our voting agreement provides that, if our board of directors and the holders of at least 60% of our preferred stock approve a sale of the company, each holder of our preferred stock and certain other individuals, including our chief executive officer, are required to consent to, cooperate and participate in such sale, subject to certain exceptions. These rights and obligations will terminate upon the earliest of (i) our sale of common stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering on the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 or successor form filed under the Securities Act, with a pre-initial public offering valuation of at least $225,000,000 and resulting in gross proceeds to the corporation of not less than $30,000,000 in the aggregate, (ii) the date on which a Resale S-1 becomes effective, (iii) the consummation of a sale of the company or (iv) the date specified by written consent or agreement of certain parties to the voting agreement. The holders of Series E preferred stock are not required to comply with such terms unless they would receive an amount of consideration greater than or equal to $8.50 per share. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence—Voting Agreement” for additional information regarding these rights and obligations.

Item 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.

Section 145 of the DGCL authorizes a corporation, subject to the procedures and limitations stated therein, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with various actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, if they acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. In the case of proceedings brought by or on behalf of the corporation, indemnification is limited to expenses and is not permitted if the individual is adjudged liable to the corporation, unless the court determines otherwise. The statute provides that indemnification pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of directors to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director with certain limited exceptions set forth therein. Our Bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers. These indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and officers for some expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of his or her service as one of our directors or officers, or any of our subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request.

We maintain a general liability insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers. In addition, we may purchase and maintain additional insurance on our behalf and on behalf of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of ours, or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity, against any expense, liability or loss asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person against such expenses, liability or loss under the DGCL.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Table of Contents

1. Organization and Description of Business

KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Company) is a biopharmaceutical company whose primary business is to develop monoclonal antibody therapeutics for diseases that represent a significant burden to society and to patients and their families. The Company’s primary clinical focus is on respiratory diseases and cancer. The Company was incorporated on March 15, 2000 in California and, in 2001, became a Delaware corporation. All of the Company’s assets are located in California.

The Company has incurred net losses from operations since its inception and had an accumulated deficit of $75.9 million at March 31, 2012. The Company has financed its operations primarily through the sale of equity securities, grants and the payments received under its agreements with Novartis Pharma AG (Novartis) and Sanofi Pasteur S.A. (Sanofi). To date, none of the Company's product candidates have been approved for sale and therefore the Company has not generated any revenues from product sales. Management expects operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Company will continue to obtain additional capital through equity offerings, debt financing and/or payments under new or existing licensing or collaboration agreements. If sufficient funds on acceptable terms are not available when needed, the Company could be required to significantly reduce its operating expenses and delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of its development programs.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include all adjustments necessary for the presentation of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company believes judgment is involved in determining revenue recognition, the fair value-based measurement of stock-based compensation, accruals and warrant valuations. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, and those differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 2012, the statements of comprehensive loss and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012 and the statement of convertible preferred stock and stockholder's deficit for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are unaudited. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the financial statements related to March 31, 2012 and the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2012 are also unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2012 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012 or for any other interim period or for any future year.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities consist of financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk in the event of a default by the related financial institution holding the securities, to the extent of the value recorded in the balance sheet. The Company invests cash that is not required for immediate operating needs primarily in highly liquid instruments with lower credit risk. The Company has established guidelines relating to the quality, diversification and maturities of securities to enable the Company to manage its credit risk.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value given their short-term nature. Marketable securities, cash equivalents and warrants for convertible preferred stock are carried at fair value.

 

F-7


Table of Contents

The fair value of financial instruments reflects the amounts that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable, and the third is considered unobservable, as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than those included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the highest level of inputs that are reasonably available as of the measurement date. The following tables summarize the fair value of financial assets and liabilities (investments and preferred stock warrant liability) that are measured at fair value, and the classification by level of input within the fair value hierarchy:

Table of Contents

The fair value of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability as of March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and 2010 was calculated by using an Option Pricing Model to allocate the total enterprise value to the various securities within the Company’s capital structure. The estimated total enterprise value was $106.9 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and $99.5 million at December 31, 2010. The model’s inputs reflect assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument in a current period transaction. Inputs to the model included:

 

     December 31,
       2010       2011  

Time to liquidity (in years)

   0.5   2.0

Volatility

   57%   53%

Discounted cash flow rate

   14%   14%

Risk free interest rate

   0.21%   0.25%

Marketability discount rate

   20%   27%

Time to liquidity input was based on the Company’s estimate of when potential liquidity could be provided to stockholders. The volatility factor used was based on the average historic price volatility for publicly traded industry peers. The discounted cash flow rate used takes into consideration a company specific risk premium, market risk premium and an assumed risk free rate of return. The risk-free interest rate used was based on the yields of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities similar to time to liquidity. The marketability discount is used to factor in private companies are generally less liquid than a public company. The Company evaluated the inputs to the model as of March 31, 2012 and concluded that there were no significant changes.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits with commercial banks in checking, interest-bearing and demand money market accounts. The Company invests in marketable securities consisting primarily of certificates of deposit, money market funds, corporate securities, commercial paper, U.S. government-backed securities and U.S. treasury notes. These securities are classified as available-for-sale and carried at estimated fair value, based upon quoted market prices, with unrealized gains and losses reported as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ deficit. The Company may liquidate any of these investments in order to meet the Company’s liquidity needs in the next year.

Realized gains and losses from the sale of marketable securities are calculated using the specific-identification method. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary are included in interest income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. To date, the Company has not recorded any impairment charges on its marketable securities related to other-than-temporary declines in market value. In determining whether a decline in market value is other-than-temporary, various factors are considered, including whether the decline is attributed to a change in credit risk, and whether it is more likely-than-not that the Company will hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in market value. The Company had no realized gains or losses for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012, consisted of $0.2 million related to standby letters of credit issued in connection with an operating lease for the Company’s corporate headquarters. Restricted cash at December 31, 2010 consisted of $0.5 million related to standby letters of credit issued in connection with an operating lease for the Company’s corporate headquarters and a shipment of clinical materials from the Company’s third party manufacturer.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets of three years using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful lives or the noncancelable term of the related lease. Maintenance and repair costs are charged as expense to the statements of operations as incurred.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may be impaired. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset, including disposition, are less than the carrying value of the asset. To date, the Company has not recorded any impairment charges on its long-lived assets.

The Company’s intangible assets consist of intellectual property and know-how acquired, related to developed technology for antibody production, as part of the Company’s acquisition of Celscia Therapeutics, Inc., effective January 12, 2004. Such intellectual property and know-how acquired provides the Company with alternative future use in other research projects. The intellectual property and know-how acquired of $1.0 million is being amortized over the estimated useful life of the technology, which the Company estimates to be nine years. For each of the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Company recorded amortization expense of $0.1 million. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2012, the Company recorded amortization expense of $28,000. The estimated remaining future amortization expense to be recorded in the year ended December 31, 2012 is $111,000.

Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability

The Company classifies its outstanding warrants exercisable into shares of the Company’s Series B-2 convertible preferred stock as other liabilities, long term and adjusts the instruments to fair value at the end of each reporting period. At the end of each reporting period, changes in the fair value of the warrant liability during the period are recorded as a component of other income (expense), net. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrants or conversion of the warrants into warrants to purchase common stock, at which time the liability would be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Research and Development Expenses

Development costs incurred in the research and development of new products are expensed as incurred, including expenses that may or may not be reimbursed under research and development collaboration arrangements. Research and development costs include, but are not limited to, salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation, laboratory supplies, allocated overhead, fees for professional service providers and costs associated with product development efforts, including preclinical studies and clinical trials. Research and development expenses under collaborative agreements approximate or exceed the revenue recognized under such agreements.

The Company estimates preclinical study and clinical trial expenses based on the services performed, pursuant to contracts with research institutions and clinical research organizations that conduct and manage preclinical studies and clinical trials on its behalf. In accruing service fees, the Company estimates the time period over which services will be performed and the level of effort to be expended in each period. If the actual timing of the performance of services or the level of effort varies from the estimate, the Company will adjust the accrual accordingly. Payments made to third parties under these arrangements in advance of the receipt of the related services are recorded as prepaid expenses until the services are rendered.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) transfer of technology has been completed, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received in advance of work performed are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized when earned.

Multiple Element Arrangements

The Company evaluates revenue from agreements that have multiple elements to determine whether the components of the arrangement represent separate units of accounting. Management considers whether components of an arrangement represent separate units of accounting based upon whether certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered element has stand-alone value to the customer. To date, all of the Company’s research and development collaboration and license agreements have been assessed to have one unit of accounting. Up-front and license fees received for a combined unit of accounting are deferred and recognized ratably over the projected performance period. Nonrefundable fees where the Company has no continuing performance obligations are recognized as revenue when collection is reasonably assured and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted on a prospective basis Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which amends the criteria related to identifying separate units of accounting and provides guidance on how an arrangement should be separated and the consideration allocated. The adoption of the standard did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 or the quarter ended March 31, 2012 as the Company did not enter into any new arrangements or materially modify any existing arrangements in those periods. However, the adoption of this standard may result in revenue recognition patterns for future agreements that are materially different from the Company’s existing multiple-element arrangements.

Research and Development Services

Internal and external research and development costs incurred in connection with collaboration agreements are recognized as revenue in the same period as the costs are incurred and are presented on a gross basis because the Company acts as a principal, has the discretion to choose suppliers, bears credit risk and performs at least part of the services.

Milestones and Other Contingent Payments

On January 1, 2011, the Company elected to prospectively adopt the milestone method as described in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-17, Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition . Under the milestone method, contingent consideration received from the achievement of a substantive milestone will be recognized in its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved. A milestone is defined as an event having all of the following characteristics: (i) there is substantive uncertainty at the date the arrangement is entered into that the event will be achieved, (ii) the event can only be achieved based in whole or in part on either the company’s performance or a specific outcome resulting from the company’s performance and (iii) if achieved, the event would result in additional payments being due to the company.

The Company’s future research and development and license agreements may provide for payments to be paid to the Company upon the achievement of development milestones or success fees. Given the challenges inherent in developing biologic products, there may be substantial uncertainty as to whether any such milestones would be achieved at the time the agreements are executed. In addition, the Company will evaluate whether the development milestones meet all of the conditions to be considered substantive. The conditions include: (1) the consideration is commensurate with either of the following: (a) the vendor’s performance to achieve the milestone or (b) the enhancement of the value of the delivered item or items as a result of a specific outcome resulting from the vendor’s performance to achieve the milestone; (2) it relates solely to past performance and (3) it is reasonable relative to all the deliverables and payment terms within the arrangement. If the Company considers the development milestones to be substantive revenue related to such future milestone payments will be recognized as the Company achieves each milestone. The election to adopt the milestone method did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011, or the three month period ended March 31, 2012, as the Company did not receive any milestone payments in those periods, and no milestones payments, as defined, are included in any of the Company’s existing collaboration arrangements as of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012.

Table of Contents

Prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2010-17, milestone payments that were contingent upon the achievement of substantive at-risk performance criteria were recognized in full upon achievement of those milestone events in accordance with the terms of the related agreement and assuming all other revenue recognition criteria were met. All revenue recognized to date under our collaborative agreements has been nonrefundable.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

The Company measures employee and director stock-based compensation expense for stock awards at the grant date, based on the fair value-based measurement of the award, and the expense is recorded over the related service period, generally the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company calculates the fair value-based measurement of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model and the single-option method and recognizes expense using the straight-line attribution approach.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset-and-liability approach. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse, net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the Company’s provision for income taxes.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss includes the net loss and all changes in stockholders’ deficit during a period, except for those changes resulting from investments by stockholders or distributions to stockholders. Other comprehensive income (loss) consists solely of unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for the period. Common stock equivalents are only included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share when their effect is dilutive.

The Company’s potential dilutive securities which include convertible preferred stock, unvested restricted stock, stock options, and warrants have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share and be antidilutive. Therefore, the denominator used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per common share is the same in all periods presented.

The following shares of outstanding potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations of diluted net loss per common share as the effect of including such securities would be antidilutive:

Deferred Rent

The Company records its costs under facility operating lease agreements as rent expense. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of the operating lease. The difference between the actual amounts paid and amounts recorded as rent expense is recorded to deferred rent.

Segment Reporting

The Company’s operating segments are determined based upon the way the business is organized for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company has only one operating segment related to the development of pharmaceutical products.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs . This ASU is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board to develop a single, converged fair value framework. While this ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP, it expands the existing disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and makes other amendments. Many of these amendments were made to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards, which could change how fair value measurement guidance in ASC 820 is applied. The Company adopted ASU No. 2011-04 on January 1, 2012, as required. The adoption of this new guidance on a prospective basis did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income . This ASU gives an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income (loss), the components of net income (loss), and the components of other comprehensive income (loss) either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income (loss) or in two separate but consecutive statements. The Company adopted ASU No. 2011-05 on January 1, 2012 on a retrospective basis as required and has presented its comprehensive loss and the components of net loss and other comprehensive income (loss) in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income (loss).

As of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012, all securities have remaining contractual maturities of less than one year and were in an unrealized loss position for less than one year. The unrealized losses were not attributed to credit risk. Based on the nature of the securities, the extent and duration of the unrealized losses and the fact that it is more likely than not that the Company will hold these investments for a period of time sufficient for a recovery of the cost basis, the Company concluded that the unrealized losses in the investment securities are not other-than-temporary.

Sanofi

In January 2010, the Company and Sanofi entered into an agreement for the development and commercialization of KB001-A, an investigational new biologic for the treatment or prevention of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) infections (the Sanofi agreement). Under the terms of the Sanofi agreement, the Company received an initial upfront non-refundable payment of $35 million and received an additional non-refundable payment of $5 million that represented a second installment of the upfront fees due to the Company under the agreement upon completion of a sublicense negotiation with a third party in August 2011. The Company may also receive development, regulatory and commercial contingent payments for a potential further $250 million, as well as royalties on eventual product sales, if any. Sanofi will be responsible for the development and commercialization of KB001-A in all indications other than those retained by the Company, including the prevention of ventilated associated pneumonias caused by Pa . The Company retains rights to develop and commercialize KB001-A for use in treating patients with cystic fibrosis or bronchiectasis, an obstructive lung disease aggravated by bacterial infections. Sanofi has the option to acquire development and commercialization rights to the Company’s indications for KB001-A either (i) outside the United States or (ii) worldwide with a co-development and joint marketing arrangement in the United States. The upfront payment of $40 million is being recognized over the estimated period of the Company’s substantive performance obligations under the arrangement. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, the Company estimated that substantive performance obligations under the arrangement would be completed by March 31, 2012. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, the Company and Sanofi agreed to amend the 2010 agreement as Sanofi requested that the Company perform additional services. Therefore, in the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, the Company revised its estimate to reflect that the substantive performance obligations under the arrangement were then expected to be completed by June 30, 2012.

Under the terms of the Sanofi agreement, the Company receives specified research and development funding for services performed in connection with KB001-A research and development efforts. Reimbursements received by the Company for these services are recorded as contract revenues when earned as the related services are provided.

Revenue recognized under the Sanofi agreement was as follows:

Novartis

In August 2005, the Company and Novartis and Novartis Institute for Functional Genomics Inc., dba The Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation (GNF) entered into a three-year collaboration agreement for the discovery and development of antibodies for GNF (the collaboration agreement). GNF paid the Company setup fees for each antibody project. The Company deferred the setup fees and recognized the fees over the period required for the Company to fulfill all of its obligations with respect to the delivery of the antibodies. The setup fees were recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis, consistent with the level of effort, over the period of performance, which was the initial research collaboration term of three years. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized contract revenue of $0.3 million related to the setup fees. No contract revenue was recognized in periods subsequent to December 31, 2009 related to this arrangement.

If GNF elects to continue the development of an antibody resulting from the collaboration, GNF or Novartis may be required to pay the Company contingent payments and royalties. No contingent or royalty payments have been received to date.

Other Research and Development Collaborations

The Company has research and development collaboration agreements with other collaborative partners wherein the Company receives reimbursement of research and development expenses, potentially followed by success fees, contingent payments and royalties. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized contract revenue of $0.3 million related to a contingent payment. No contract revenue was recognized in periods subsequent to December 31, 2009 related to these arrangements.

6. Other Income

In November 2010, the Company received total cash grants of $1.0 million from the Internal Revenue Service under Section 48D of the Internal Revenue Code for the Qualified Therapeutic Discovery Project Program. The grants relate to certain research and development costs the Company incurred in 2009 in connection with its programs. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had incurred the associated expenses underlying the qualified investment and received certification from the Department of Treasury for each project awarded. As of December 31, 2010, there were no remaining performance obligations associated with the grants. The $1.0 million received has been included within other income (expense), net in the accompanying statement of comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2010.

7. Preferred Stock Warrant Liability

In connection with a credit facility obtained in 2005, the Company issued warrants to purchase 55,556 shares of Series B-2 convertible preferred stock (Series B-2 Preferred) upon the signing of the credit facility agreement in October 2005 and 83,333 shares of Series B-2 Preferred upon drawdown of the loan in December 2006. The warrants were immediately exercisable upon issuance. The warrants expire on October 31, 2015. The exercise price per share is $1.44.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Lease

In January 2008, the Company entered into a noncancelable operating lease for its facilities in South San Francisco, California. The lease term commenced in February 2008 and expired in June 2011. In January 2011, the Company renewed the noncancelable operating lease. The lease term commenced in July 2011 and will expire in June 2014. In connection with the renewed lease, the Company issued a standby letter of credit for $205,000 for the deposit requirement under the terms of the lease. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company is also responsible for certain operating expenses. The lease provided a $195,000 allowance from the landlord for tenant improvements that was utilized in the year ended December 31, 2011. This amount has been included in deferred rent in the accompanying December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012 balance sheets and is being amortized over the term of the lease, on a straight-line basis.

Rent expense, net of sublease income, was $535,000, $406,000, and $566,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively and $98,000 and $56,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Sublease income was $308,000, $429,000, and $531,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively and $107,000 and $221,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

The Company, as permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with its bylaws, indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while the officer or director is or was serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is equal to the officer’s or director’s lifetime.

The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited; however, the Company currently holds director and officer liability insurance. This insurance limits the Company’s exposure and may enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. The Company believes that the fair value of these indemnification obligations is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any liabilities relating to these obligations for any period presented.

The Company has certain agreements with service providers with which it does business that contain indemnification provisions pursuant to which the Company typically agrees to indemnify the party against certain types of third-party claims. The Company accrues for known indemnification issues when a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company would also accrue for estimated incurred but unidentified indemnification issues based on historical activity. As the Company has not incurred any indemnification losses to date, there were no accruals for or expenses related to indemnification issues for any period presented.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2010 and 2011 and March 31, 2012, the Company had five series of outstanding convertible preferred stock: Series A convertible preferred stock (Series A Preferred), Series B-1 convertible preferred stock (Series B-1 Preferred), Series B-2 Preferred, Series C convertible preferred stock (Series C Preferred) and Series D Preferred (collectively, the Preferred Stock). The Preferred Stock is initially recorded at fair value on the date of issuance, net of issuance costs. All shares of Preferred Stock are redeemable in the event of a change of control at the applicable original purchase price per share. As all Preferred Stock is redeemable upon an event outside the control of the Company (i.e., a change in control), the related amounts have been presented outside of stockholders’ deficit. The carrying value of Preferred Stock will be adjusted to redemption value if it becomes probable that a redemption will occur. Company management does not believe that redemption is probable based on current business conditions.

The redemption amount of outstanding Series A, Series B-1, Series B-2, Series C and Series D Preferred is equal to the applicable original purchase price of the stock, or $1.44, $1.44, $1.44, $2.88 and $3.25 per share, respectively.

The significant rights, privileges, and preferences of the Preferred Stock are as follows as of December 31, 2010 and 2011 and March 31, 2012:

Dividend Provisions

The holders of Series A, Series B-1 and Series B-2 Preferred are entitled to receive noncumulative dividends of $0.12 per year for each outstanding share held when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors. The holders of Series C Preferred are entitled to receive noncumulative dividends of $0.2304 per year and the holders of Series D Preferred are entitled to receive noncumulative dividends of $0.26 per year for each outstanding share held when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors. No dividends will be declared or paid to the holders of common stock until these dividends have been paid to the holders of the Preferred Stock.

Liquidation Preference

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, winding up or change in control of the Company, the holders of Series D Preferred are entitled to receive a liquidation amount of $3.25 per share plus all declared but unpaid dividends prior and in preference to the holders of Series C, Series B-2, Series B-1 and Series A Preferred and the common stockholders. Following payment of this liquidation amount, if proceeds for distribution remain, the holders of Series C Preferred are entitled to receive a liquidation amount of $2.88 per share plus all declared but unpaid dividends prior and in preference to the holders of Series B-2, Series B-1 and Series A Preferred and the common stockholders. Following payment of these liquidation amounts, if proceeds for distribution remain, the holders of Series B-2 Preferred are entitled to receive a liquidation amount of $1.44 per share plus all declared but unpaid dividends prior and in preference to the holders of Series B-1 and Series A Preferred and the common stockholders. Following payment of these liquidation amounts, if proceeds for distribution remain, the holders of the Series B-1 and Series A Preferred are each entitled to receive a liquidation amount of $1.44 per share plus all declared but unpaid dividends prior and in preference to the common stockholders. Following payment of these liquidation amounts, the holders of the Series A, Series B-1, Series B-2, Series C and Series D Preferred and the common stockholders shall share in any remaining proceeds pro rata based on the number of shares held (assuming conversion of all Preferred Stock into common stock) until the holders of Series A, Series B 1 and Series B-2 Preferred have received an additional $2.88 per share (for a total of $4.32 per share), the holders of Series C Preferred have received an additional $4.32 per share (for a total of $7.20 per share) and the holders of Series D Preferred have received an additional $4.87 per share (for a total of $8.12 per share). Thereafter, any proceeds remaining for distribution would be distributed pro rata among the common stockholders.

Conversion Rights

Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

Each share of Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, will be automatically converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock at the applicable conversion rate upon the earlier of: (i) the Company’s initial public offering with a pre initial public offering valuation of at least $225 million that results in gross proceeds to the Company of not less than $30 million; and (ii) the written consent or agreement of the holders of at least sixty percent of the then-outstanding Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series) provided, however, that if such a conversion is in connection with a liquidation event in which holders of Series D Preferred would receive an amount less than $8.12 per share, then the automatic conversion of each share of Series D Preferred requires the written consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series D Preferred.

Voting Rights

The holder of each share of Preferred Stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of common stock into which such share of Preferred Stock could be converted. Additionally, specific protective provisions require that certain actions by the Company may be taken only upon the approval of the holders of at least sixty percent of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

Election of Directors

The holders of Series A Preferred are entitled to elect two members of the Company’s Board of Directors, and the holders of Series B-2 Preferred are entitled to elect two members of the Company’s Board of Directors. All remaining members of the Company’s Board of Directors are elected by the holders of common stock and Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-if-converted to common stock basis.

Right of First Offer

Each holder of 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock (or the common stock issued upon conversion thereof) has the right to participate in certain future equity issuances of the Company in order to maintain their pro rata ownership percentage of the Company. The right expires upon the earlier of: (i) an initial public offering with a pre initial public offering valuation of at least $225 million and resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of not less than $30 million; and (ii) a change in control of the Company.

Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale

Holders of Preferred Stock have a secondary right of first refusal (if not exercised by the Company) and certain rights of co-sale with respect to certain shares of common stock held by common stockholders. The rights expire upon the earlier of: (i) an initial public offering with a pre initial public offering valuation of at least $225 million and resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of not less than $30 million; and (ii) a change in control of the Company.

2001 Stock Plan and Stock-Based Compensation

Under the Company’s 2001 Stock Plan (the Plan), the Company may grant shares and/or options to purchase up to 12,138,371 shares of common stock to employees, directors, consultants, and other service providers at prices not less than the fair market value at the date of grant for incentive stock options and not less than 85% of the fair market value for nonstatutory options. These options generally vest over four years, expire 10 years from the date of grant, and are generally exercisable at any time following the date of grant. Unvested options exercised are subject to the Company’s repurchase right that lapses as the options vest. At December 31, 2010, the Company had 133,842 shares at a weighted-average price of $0.25 per share subject to repurchase. At December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012, the Company did not have any shares subject to repurchase.

In February 2010, the Company granted awards to executive officers for a total of 545,000 shares of common stock. Awards of 203,000 shares of common stock vested in January 2011 based on the attainment in 2010 of certain agreed-upon performance milestones as determined by the Board of Directors. In January 2011, the Company granted awards to executive officers for a total of 505,000 shares of common stock. Awards of 206,500 shares of common stock vested in January 2012 based on the attainment in 2011 of certain agreed-upon performance milestones as determined by the Board of Directors. As such, the compensation related to these grants was measured based upon the fair-value-based measurement on the grant date of $0.41 per share and recorded over the related performance periods as the performance conditions were deemed probable of vesting in 2010 and 2011. The Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $132,000, $92,000 and $52,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, related to these stock awards. At December 31, 2010 and 2011, 490,000 shares and 505,000 shares of common stock were subject to repurchase related to these awards, respectively.

The weighted-average remaining contractual life of options exercisable at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012 is 6.4 years and 6.2 years, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012 was $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options vested and expected to vest, net of expected forfeitures, at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012 was $1.0 million with an average remaining contractual life of 7.2 years and $0.9 million with an average remaining contractual life of 7.0 years, respectively.

The Company estimated the fair value-based measurement of each stock award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company does not believe that it is able to rely on its historical exercise and post-vesting termination activity to provide accurate data for estimating its expected term for use in determining the fair value-based measurement of its options. Therefore, the Company has opted to use the simplified method for estimating the expected term of its options. The risk-free interest rate assumptions are based on the yield of U.S. Treasury instruments with similar durations as the expected term of the related awards. The expected dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s absence of dividend payouts. Expected volatility is based on the average volatility of a peer group of publicly traded entities. Forfeitures are estimated such that the Company only recognizes expense for those shares expected to vest, and adjustments are made if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The weighted-average fair value-based measurement of employee and director stock options granted under the Company’s Plan in the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2012, were $0.23, $0.30, $0.23, $0.23 and $0.33 per share, respectively. The fair value-based measurement of employee and director stock options granted under the Company’s Plan was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

The Company has historically granted stock options at exercise prices not less than the fair market value of its common stock as determined by the board of directors based on input from management. The determination of the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant is based on a number of objective and subjective factors including: recent sales of convertible preferred stock to investors; comparable rights and preferences of other outstanding equity securities; progress of research and development efforts and milestones attained; results of operations, financial position and levels of debt and available capital resources of the Company; perspective provided by valuation analyses of our stock performed by third party valuation specialists; and the likelihood of a liquidity event such as an initial public offering or the sale of the Company given prevailing market and biotechnology sector conditions.

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Based upon the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realizable. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by $10.7 million, $2.6 million and $0.8 million during 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

At December 31, 2011, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $67.0 million, which expire in the years 2025 through 2030, and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $66.9 million, which expire in the years 2013 through 2028.

At December 31, 2011, the Company had federal research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $1.7 million, which expire in the years 2022 through 2031, and state research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $1.7 million. The state research and development credit carryforwards can be carried forward indefinitely.

During 2010, the Company completed a Section 382 study in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. The study concluded that the Company has experienced several ownership changes since inception. This causes the Company’s utilization of its net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to be subject to substantial annual limitations. These results are reflected in the above carryforward amounts and deferred tax assets. The Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be further limited as a result of subsequent ownership changes. All such limitations could result in the expiration of carryforwards before they are utilized.

There have been no interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits recorded to date. The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would not have an impact on the Company’s effective tax rate due to the full valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets. The Company does not anticipate that the amount of existing unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next year. Because of net operating loss carryforwards, substantially all of the Company's tax years remain open to tax federal and state tax examination. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and California. The United States federal corporation income tax returns beginning with the 2000 tax year remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The California corporation income tax returns beginning with the 2000 tax year remain subject to examination by the California Franchise Tax Board.

11. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company has established a 401(k) tax-deferred savings plan (the 401(k) Plan), which permits participants to make contributions by salary deduction pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company is responsible for administrative costs of the 401(k) Plan. The Company may, at its discretion, make matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan. No employer contributions have been made to date.

12. Restructuring Charges

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company initiated a reduction in workforce resulting in an aggregate restructuring charge of approximately $1.1 million, consisting of severance and benefit payments for terminated employees. The activity in the accrued restructuring balance, included within accrued compensation on the balance sheet, was as follows for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the three-month period ended March 31, 2012:

All shares of convertible preferred stock are redeemable in the event of a change of control at the applicable original purchase price per share. As all convertible preferred stock is redeemable upon an event outside the control of the Company (i.e., a change in control), the related amounts are presented outside of stockholders’ deficit. The carrying value of the convertible preferred stock will be adjusted to redemption value if it becomes probable that a redemption will occur. Company management does not believe that redemption is probable based on current business conditions. The redemption amount of outstanding Series A, Series B-1, Series B-2, Series C, Series D and Series E Preferred is equal to the applicable original purchase price of the stock, or $1.44, $1.44, $1.44, $2.88, $3.25 and $3.40 per share, respectively.

Following the issuance of the Series E Preferred, the significant rights, privileges, and preferences of the convertible preferred stock are as follows:

Dividend Provisions

Until the earlier of October 1, 2013 and the date on which there is an automatic conversion of all of the outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock, the holders of shares of each series of convertible preferred stock shall be entitled to receive noncumulative dividends prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend on the common stock at the applicable dividend rate, payable when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, with any such dividend being paid pari passu among all of the then outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock until the dividend rate for each such outstanding share of convertible preferred stock has been paid in full. The dividend rate shall mean $0.12 per annum for each share of Series A, Series B-1 and Series B-2 Preferred, $0.2304 per annum for each share of Series C Preferred, $0.26 per annum for each share of Series D Preferred and $0.17 per annum for each share of Series E Preferred.

From October 1, 2013 to the date on which there is an automatic conversion of all of the outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock, the holders of Series E Preferred shall be entitled to receive cumulative dividends of $0.17 per share annually payable whether or not they have been declared by the Board of Directors. All such dividends shall accrue automatically on a daily basis and all accrued and unpaid dividends shall be fully paid quarterly prior to payment of any other dividend. If the dividends are not paid when they are due, the dividend rate increases from $0.17 to $0.34 per share annually until such dividends are paid in full. If other dividends are declared, such dividends shall first be paid pari passu among all of the then outstanding shares of Series A, Series B-1, Series B-2, Series C and Series D Preferred until the dividend rate for each such series has been paid in full.

Following the payment of dividends to the convertible preferred stockholders as described above, any declared dividends will be distributed among the holders of convertible preferred and common stock pro rata based upon the number of shares of common stock held by each determined on an as-if converted to common stock basis. No dividends have been declared to date.

Liquidation Preference

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, winding up or change in control of the Company, the holders of Series E Preferred are entitled to receive a liquidation amount of $3.40 per share plus all cumulative and all declared but unpaid dividends prior and in preference to the holders of Series D, Series C, Series B-2, Series B-1 and Series A Preferred and the common stockholders. Following payment of this liquidation amount, if proceeds for distribution remain, the holders of Series D Preferred are entitled to receive a liquidation amount of $3.25 per share plus all declared but unpaid dividends prior and in preference to the holders of Series C, Series B-2, Series B-1 and Series A Preferred and the common stockholders. Following payment of this liquidation amount, if proceeds for distribution remain, the holders of Series C Preferred are entitled to receive a liquidation amount of $2.88 per share plus all declared but unpaid dividends prior and in preference to the holders of Series B-2, Series B-1 and Series A Preferred and the common stockholders. Following payment of these liquidation amounts, if proceeds for distribution remain, the holders of Series B-2 Preferred are entitled to receive a liquidation amount of $1.44 per share plus all declared but unpaid dividends prior and in preference to the holders of Series B-1 and Series A Preferred and the common stockholders. Following payment of these liquidation amounts, if proceeds for distribution remain, the holders of the Series B-1 and Series A Preferred are each entitled to receive a liquidation amount of $1.44 per share plus all declared but unpaid dividends prior and in preference to the common stockholders. Following payment of these liquidation amounts, the convertible preferred and the common stockholders shall share in any remaining proceeds pro rata based on the number of common shares held by each, determined on an as-if converted to common stock basis, until the holders of Series A, Series B 1 and Series B-2 Preferred have received an additional $2.88 per share (for a total of $4.32 per share), the holders of Series C Preferred have received an additional $4.32 per share (for a total of $7.20 per share), the holders of Series D Preferred have received an additional $4.87 per share (for a total of $8.12 per share) and the holders of Series E Preferred have received an additional $5.10 per share (for a total of $8.50 per share). Thereafter, any proceeds remaining for distribution would be distributed pro rata among the common stockholders.

Conversion Rights

Each share of preferred stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time after the date of issuance, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. Each share of preferred stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, will be automatically converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock upon the earlier of: (i) the Company’s initial public offering with a pre initial public offering valuation of at least $225 million that results in gross proceeds to the Company of not less than $30 million, (ii) the date on which a registration statement on Form S-1 registering shares of common stock issued upon conversion of preferred stock for re-sale by stockholders becomes effective, or (iii) the date specified by written consent or agreement of the holders of not less than sixty percent of the then outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock; provided, however, that (x) if such conversion is in connection with a liquidation event in which holders of Series D Preferred would receive an amount less than $8.12 per share, then the automatic conversion of each share of Series D Preferred shall also require the written consent or agreement of the holders of not less than a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series D Preferred and (y) the automatic conversion of each share of Series E Preferred shall also require the written consent or agreement of the holders of not less than sixty percent of the then outstanding shares of Series E Preferred.

Voting Rights

The holder of each share of convertible preferred stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of common stock into which such share of preferred stock could be converted. Additionally, specific protective provisions require that certain actions by the Company such as the consummation of a liquidation event may be taken only upon the approval of the holders of at least sixty percent of the outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock.

Election of Directors

The holders of convertible preferred stock are entitled to elect two members of the Company’s Board of Directors. All remaining members of the Company’s Board of Directors are elected by the holders of common and convertible preferred stock, voting together as a single class, on an as-if converted to common stock basis.

Right of First Offer

Each holder of 1,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock (or the common stock issued upon conversion thereof) has the right to participate in certain future equity issuances of the Company in order to maintain their pro rata ownership percentage of the Company. The right expires upon the earlier of: (i) an initial public offering with a pre initial public offering valuation of at least $225 million and resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of not less than $30 million; (ii) the date on which a registration statement on Form S-1 registering shares of common stock issued upon conversion of preferred stock for re-sale by stockholders becomes effective, or (iii) the consummation of a liquidation event of the Company.

Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale

Holders of convertible preferred stock have a secondary right of first refusal (if not exercised by the Company) and certain rights of co-sale with respect to certain shares of common stock held by common stockholders. The rights expire upon the earlier of: (i) an initial public offering with a pre initial public offering valuation of at least $225 million and resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of not less than $30 million; (ii) the date on which a registration statement on Form S-1 registering shares of common stock issued upon conversion of preferred stock for re-sale by stockholders becomes effective, (iii) the consummation of a liquidation event, and (iv) the date specified by written consent or agreement of the holders of not less than sixty percent of the then outstanding convertible preferred stock.

2012 Equity Incentive Plan

The Company’s board of directors adopted the terms and conditions of our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan in May 2012. The Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan will replace the 2001 Stock Plan. No further awards will be made under the 2001 Stock Plan after this registration. However, the options outstanding after this registration under the 2001 Stock Plan will continue to be governed by its existing terms.

Share Reserve.  Following the date when our board of directors reserves a fixed number of shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan will be increased automatically on January 1 of each fiscal year, starting with fiscal 2013 and ending in fiscal year 2022, by a number to be determined by our board of directors.

In general, to the extent that awards under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan are forfeited or lapse without the issuance of shares, those shares will again become available for awards. In addition, shares subject to awards outstanding under our 2001 Stock Plan that are forfeited or lapse without shares being issued after this registration will be available for awards under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. All share numbers described in this summary of the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (including exercise prices for options and stock appreciation rights) are automatically adjusted in the event of a subdivision of the outstanding common stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in common stock or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of common stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of common stock.

Administration.  The Company’s board of directors intends to administer the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. The board of directors has complete discretion to make all decisions relating to the plan and outstanding awards.

Eligibility.  Employees, members of the Company’s board of directors who are not employees and consultants are eligible to participate in our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan.

Types of Award.  Our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the following types of awards:

 

   

incentive and nonstatutory stock options to purchase shares of our common stock;

 

   

stock appreciation rights;

 

   

restricted shares of our common stock;

 

   

stock units; and

 

   

performance cash awards.

Change of Control.  Our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan provides that in the event of a change of control, as defined under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, each outstanding award will be treated as the board of directors determines. The board of directors may provide, in an individual award agreement or in any other written agreement between a participant and the Company, that an award will be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability in the event of a change in control.

Amendments or Termination.  The board of directors may amend or terminate the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan at any time. If our board of directors amends the plan, it does not need to ask for stockholder approval of the amendment unless required by applicable law, regulation or rule. The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan will continue in effect for 10 years from its adoption date, unless our board of directors decides to terminate the plan earlier.

1. Dividend Provisions .

(a) Until the earlier of (x) October 31, 2013 and (y) the date on which there is an automatic conversion of all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of this corporation pursuant to subsection 4(b) of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of shares of each series of Preferred Stock of this corporation shall be entitled to receive dividends, out of any assets legally available therefor, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend (payable other than in Common Stock or other securities and rights convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock of this corporation) on the Common Stock of this corporation, at the applicable Dividend Rate (as defined below), payable when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, with any such dividend being paid pari passu among all of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock until the Dividend Rate for each such outstanding share of Preferred Stock has been paid in full. Such dividends shall not be cumulative. The holders of the outstanding Preferred Stock can waive any dividend preference that such holders shall be entitled to receive under this Section 1 upon the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis); provided, however, that (i) any waiver of any dividend preference or right in respect of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock that the holders thereof shall be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1 (including, without limitation, the Dividend Rate per share of Series E Preferred Stock (other than in connection with adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations or the like) and (ii) any waiver that would impact the rights of the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to subsection l(b) or l(c) of this Part B shall, in each case, require the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least 60% of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock then outstanding. For purposes of this subsection l(a) and subsection l(b), “ Dividend Rate ” shall mean $0.12 per annum for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, $0.12 per annum for

each share of Series B-l Preferred Stock, $0.12 per annum for each share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, $0.2304 per annum for each share of Series C Preferred Stock, $0.26 per annum for each share of Series D Preferred Stock and the rate of five percent (5%) per annum of the Original Issue Price (as defined in subsection 2(a) below) for each share of Series E Preferred Stock (each as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations or the like).

(b) From and after October 31, 2013 (the “ Trigger Date ”) and until such time as there is an automatic conversion of all of the then issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of this corporation pursuant to subsection 4(b) of this Part B of Article IV of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “ Accruing Dividend Termination Date ”), prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend (payable other than in Common Stock or other securities and rights convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock of this corporation), the holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive on each Dividend Payment Date (as defined below), and this corporation shall use all available liquid assets to pay cash dividends to such holders, at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum of the Original Issue Price (as defined below) on each outstanding share of Series E Preferred Stock from the Trigger Date (calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares). All such dividends shall (i) accrue automatically from day-to-day whether or not they have been declared, (ii) be cumulative such that all accrued and unpaid dividends shall be fully paid or declared with funds irrevocably set apart, for payment before any dividends, distributions or other payments may be made with respect to any other equity securities of this corporation, (iii) following the Trigger Date, compound quarterly on the last day of each calendar quarter commencing with the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2013, and (iv) be payable on each of (x) the last calendar day of each quarter after the Trigger Date commencing with the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2013, (y) the consummation of a Liquidation Event, and (z) on the Accruing Dividend Termination Date (each such date, the “ Dividend Payment Date ”). As at any date, the accrued and unpaid dividends on each then outstanding share of Series E Preferred Stock is referred to hereinafter as the “ Accruing Dividend ”. If, after taking such actions, the assets of this corporation legally available to pay the Accruing Dividends (including funds required to pay debts) on any Dividend Payment Date are insufficient to pay the full portion of the Accruing Dividend payable on all of the then outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock on such Dividend Payment Date (the “ Aggregate Accruing Dividend ”), this corporation shall (A) take any action necessary or appropriate to remove promptly any impediments to its ability to pay the Aggregate Accruing Dividend, including, without limitation (I) to the extent permissible under applicable law, reducing the stated capital of this corporation or causing a revaluation of the assets of this corporation under Section 154 of the Delaware General Corporation Law to create sufficient surplus to declare and pay such Aggregate Accruing Dividend (if the absence of such surplus was a factor in funds of this corporation not being legally available for the declaration and payment of the Aggregate Accruing Dividend), and (II) prioritizing all liquid assets for use to pay the Aggregate Accruing Dividend and not making any capital expenditures, and (B) in any event, use any funds that are legally available to pay the Aggregate Accruing Dividend toward paying the maximum amount per share possible to each holder of such shares, pro rata in proportion to the respective number of such shares held by each holder to the total number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock then outstanding. At any time thereafter when any legal

 

3


impediment to payment of the Accruing Dividend no longer exists, this corporation shall immediately pay the then accrued and unpaid Aggregate Accruing Dividend then outstanding on such date, whether or not such date is a Dividend Payment Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that this corporation does not pay the Aggregate Accruing Dividend on a Dividend Payment Date for any reason (other than because the assets of this corporation legally available to pay the Accruing Dividends (including funds required to pay debts) on any Dividend Payment Date are insufficient to pay the full portion of Aggregate Accruing Dividend after this corporation has taken the actions specified in this subsection l(b)), the dividend rate shall increase from five percent (5%) per annum to ten percent (10%) per annum from the date of such default until the Aggregate Accruing Dividend is paid in full, at which time the dividend rate shall be decreased to five percent (5%) per annum. To the extent that this corporation desires to declare and pay a dividend on the other classes of its equity securities simultaneous or immediately following the payment in full of the Aggregate Accruing Dividend then outstanding (whether or not the date such dividend is to be paid is a Dividend Payment Date), such Aggregate Accruing Dividend then outstanding shall be paid first, in full, then the remaining portion of any such dividend shall be paid pari passu among all of the then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B-l Preferred Stock, the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock until the Dividend Rate for each such outstanding share of each such Series of Preferred Stock has been paid in full. Any amendment or waiver of this subsection l(b) shall require the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least 60% of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock then outstanding.

(c) Other Dividends . After the dividends on the Preferred Stock (and any class or series of stock that is senior to or on parity with such Preferred Stock with respect to dividends) shall have been paid as required pursuant to subsection l(a) or l(b) of this Part B of Article IV, as applicable, this corporation may (when, as and if declared by this corporation’s Board of Directors) declare and distribute dividends among the holders of Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each, determined on an as-if converted basis (assuming full conversion of all such Preferred Stock) as of the record date with respect to the declaration of such dividends. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all Accruing Dividends shall be paid in full upon the conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock.

(d) In the event this corporation shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by this corporation or other persons, assets or options or rights to purchase any such securities or evidences of indebtedness, then, in each such case the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though the holders of Preferred Stock were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of this corporation into which their respective shares of Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of this corporation entitled to receive such distribution at the then effective Conversion Rate (as defined in subsection 4(a) below).

2. Liquidation Preference .

(a) In the event of any Liquidation Event (as defined below), either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in

 

4


preference to any distribution of the Proceeds (as defined below) to the holders of Series D Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series B-2 Preferred Stock, Series B-l Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the sum of the Original Issue Price (as defined below) for the Series E Preferred Stock, plus declared but unpaid dividends on such share (including, without limitation, the Accruing Dividend on each share of Series E Preferred Stock, if applicable). If, upon the occurrence of such event, the Proceeds thus distributed among the holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then, the entire Proceeds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of Series E Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount that each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive under this subsection (a). For purposes of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, “ Original Issue Price ” shall mean $1.44 per share for each share of the Series A Preferred Stock, $1.44 per share for each share of Series B-l Preferred Stock, $1.44 per share for each share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, $2.88 per share for each share of the Series C Preferred Stock, $3.25 per share for each share of the Series D Preferred Stock and $3.40 per share for each share of the Series E Preferred Stock (each as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations or the like with respect to such series of Preferred Stock). “ Proceeds ” shall include all cash, securities and other property this corporation or its stockholders are entitled to receive in connection with any Liquidation Event, including but not limited to earnout payments, escrow amounts or other contingent payments.

(b) Upon the completion of the distribution required by subsection (a) of this Section 2, if Proceeds remain, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of Proceeds to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, Series B-2 Preferred Stock, Series B-l Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the sum of the Original Issue Price for the Series D Preferred Stock, plus declared but unpaid dividends on such share. If, upon the occurrence of such event, the Proceeds thus distributed among the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then, the remaining Proceeds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of Series D Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount that each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive under this subsection (b).

(c) Upon the completion of the distribution required by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2, if Proceeds remain, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of Proceeds to the holders of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, Series B-l Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the sum of the Original Issue Price for the Series C Preferred Stock, plus declared but unpaid dividends on such share. If, upon the occurrence of such event, the Proceeds thus distributed among the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then, the remaining Proceeds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of Series C Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount that each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive under this subsection (c).

 

5


(d) Upon the completion of the distribution required by subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 2, if Proceeds remain, the holders of Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of Proceeds to the holders of Series B-l Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the sum of the Original Issue Price for the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, plus declared but unpaid dividends on such share. If, upon the occurrence of such event, the Proceeds thus distributed among the holders of Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then, the remaining Proceeds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of Series B-2 Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount that each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive under this subsection (d).

(e) Upon the completion of the distribution required by subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 2, if Proceeds remain, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B-l Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of Proceeds to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount equal to the applicable Original Issue Price for such series of Preferred Stock, plus declared but unpaid dividends on such share. If, upon the occurrence of such event, the Proceeds thus distributed among the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B-l Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then, the Proceeds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B-l Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive under this subsection (e).

(f) Upon the completion of the distribution required by subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 2, subject to subsection (g) of this Section 2, the entire remaining Proceeds available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each (assuming full conversion of all such Preferred Stock) until, with respect to each series of Preferred Stock, such holders shall have received the applicable Participation Cap (as defined below); thereafter, if Proceeds remain, the holders of the Common Stock of this corporation shall receive all of the remaining Proceeds pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each. For purposes of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, “ Participation Cap ” shall mean $4.32 for the Series A Preferred Stock, $4.32 for the Series B-l Preferred Stock, $4.32 for the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, $7.20 for the Series C Preferred Stock, $8.12 for the Series D Preferred Stock and $8.50 for the Series E Preferred Stock (each as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations or the like with respect to such series of Preferred Stock), which includes amounts paid pursuant to subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 2.

(g) Notwithstanding the above, for purposes of determining the amount each holder of shares of Preferred Stock is entitled to receive with respect to a Liquidation Event, each such holder of shares of a series of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have converted (regardless of whether such holder actually converted) such holder’s shares of such series into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Liquidation Event if, as a result of an actual conversion, such holder would receive, in the aggregate, an amount greater than the amount that

 

6


would be distributed to such holder if such holder did not convert such series of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock. If any such holder shall be deemed to have converted shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph, then such holder shall not be entitled to receive any distribution that would otherwise be made to holders of Preferred Stock that have not converted (or have not been deemed to have converted) into shares of Common Stock.

(h) (i) A “ Liquidation Event ” shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include, (A) the acquisition of this corporation by another person or persons by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, stock purchase, merger or consolidation) that results in the transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting power of this corporation; (B) a sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of this corporation or of any successor corporation’s assets to any other entity by means of any transaction or series or related transactions (each of (A) and (B) being referred to herein as a “ Corporate Transaction ”) or (C) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the issuance of Series E Preferred Stock by this corporation shall not be deemed a Liquidation Event. The treatment of any particular transaction or series of related transactions as a Liquidation Event may be waived prospectively or retrospectively by the vote or written consent of the holders of sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis); provided, however, that the waiver of any particular transaction or series of related transactions as a Liquidation Event for holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall require the vote or written consent of the holders of not less than sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock. This corporation shall not have the power to effect a Liquidation Event referred to in clause (A) of this subsection (h)(i) unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction (the “ Merger Agreement ”) provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of this corporation shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock in accordance with this Section 2. If on a Liquidation Event pursuant to clause (B) of this subsection (h)(i), this corporation does not effect a dissolution, if the holders of at least 60% of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock so request in a written instrument delivered to this corporation not later than 120 days after such Liquidation Event, this corporation shall use the consideration received by it for such Liquidation Event (net of any retained liabilities associated with the assets sold or technology licensed, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors), together with any other assets of this corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, all to the extent permitted by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders (the “ Available Proceeds ”), to the extent legally available therefor, on the 150th day after such Liquidation Event, to distribute such Available Proceeds to the holders of capital stock in accordance with this Section 2. Prior to any distribution of Available Proceeds provided for in this subsection (h)(i), this corporation shall not expend or dissipate the consideration received for such Liquidation Event, except to discharge expenses incurred in connection with such Liquidation Event. In the event of a Liquidation Event referred to in clause (A) of this subsection (h)(i), if any portion of the consideration payable to the stockholders of this corporation is payable to the stockholders of this corporation subject to contingencies, the Merger Agreement shall provide that (y) the portion of such consideration that is not subject to any contingencies (the “ Initial Consideration ”) shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of this corporation in accordance with this Section 2 as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such

 

7


Liquidation Event and (z) any additional consideration which becomes payable to the stockholders of this corporation upon satisfaction of contingencies shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of this corporation in accordance with this Section 2 after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction; provided, however, that any consideration payable to the stockholders of this corporation that is placed into escrow in connection with such Liquidation Event shall not be deemed to be subject to “contingencies” for purposes of this sentence.

(ii) In any of such events, if the consideration received by this corporation is other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value. Any securities shall be valued as follows:

(A) Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability covered by (B) below:

(1) If traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the thirty (30) trading day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the closing;

(2) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty (30) trading day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the closing; and

(3) If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, mutually as determined in good faith by this corporation’s Board of Directors and the holders of at least 60% of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

(B) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder’s status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in (A) (1), (2) or (3) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by this corporation and the holders of at least 60% of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of such Preferred Stock.

(iii) In the event the requirements of this Section 2 are not complied with, this corporation shall forthwith either:

(A) cause such closing to be postponed until such time as the requirements of this Section 2 have been complied with; or

(B) cancel such transaction, in which event the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights, preferences and privileges existing immediately prior to the date of the first notice referred to in subsection 2(h)(iv) hereof.

(iv) This corporation shall give each holder of record of Preferred Stock written notice of such impending transaction not later than twenty (20) days prior to the

 

8


stockholders’ meeting called to approve such transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing of the final approval of such transaction. The first of such notices shall describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction and the provisions of this Section 2, and this corporation shall thereafter give such holders prompt notice of any material changes. The transaction shall in no event take place sooner than twenty (20) days after this corporation has given the first notice provided for herein or sooner than ten (10) days after this corporation has given notice of any material changes provided for herein; provided, however, that such periods may be shortened upon the written consent of the holders of Preferred Stock that are entitled to such notice rights or similar notice rights and that represent at least sixty percent (60%) of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of such Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis).

3. Redemption . The Preferred Stock is not redeemable.

4. Conversion . The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “ Conversion Rights ”):

(a) Right to Convert . Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of this corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the applicable Original Issue Price for such series by the Conversion Price (as defined below) applicable to such share (the conversion rate for a series of Preferred Stock into Common Stock is referred to herein as the “ Conversion Rate ” for such series), determined as hereafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The “ Conversion Price ” per share for each series of Preferred Stock shall initially be the Original Issue Price applicable to such series; provided, however, that the Conversion Price for the Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in subsection 4(d).

(b) Automatic Conversion . Each and every share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate at the time in effect for such Preferred Stock immediately upon the earlier of (i) except as provided below in Section 4(c), this corporation’s sale of its Common Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering on the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-l or successor form filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with a pre-initial public offering valuation of at least $225,000,000 and resulting in gross proceeds to the corporation of not less than $30,000,000 in the aggregate (a “ Qualified Public Offering ”), (ii) the date on which a registration statement on Form S-l registering for re-sale by shareholders of this corporation shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and, without duplication, shares of Common Stock issued in, or shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock issued in, a PIPE Offering (as defined in the Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement among this corporation and certain of its shareholders, including without limitation, all of the holders of the Preferred Stock, dated on or about the date hereof) becomes effective, or (iii) the date specified by written consent or agreement of the holders of not less than sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that (x) if

 

9


such conversion is in connection with a Liquidation Event (as defined above) in which holders of Series D Preferred Stock would receive an amount less than its applicable Participation Cap (as defined above), then the automatic conversion of each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall also require the written consent or agreement of the holders of not less than a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock and (y) the automatic conversion of each share of Series E Preferred Stock under the preceding clause (iii) shall also require the written consent or agreement of the holders of not less than sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock.

(c) Mechanics of Conversion . Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, he or she shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of this corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to this corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. This corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offering of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (other than a Qualified Public Offering for which the provisions of Section 4(b) shall apply), the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the persons entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

(d) Conversion Price Adjustments of Preferred Stock for Certain Dilutive Issuances, Splits and Combinations . The Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(i) (A) Subject to the terms set forth in the last sentence of this paragraph, if this corporation shall issue, on or after the date of acceptance for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “ Effective Date ”) any Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price for a series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock (the “ Dilutive Stock ”), the Conversion Price for such series in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this clause (i)) be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received by this corporation for such issuance would purchase at such Conversion Price; and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock

 

10


Outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of such Additional Stock. For purposes of this Section 4(d)(i)(A), the term “ Common Stock Outstanding ” shall mean and include the following: (1) outstanding Common Stock, (2) Common Stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding Preferred Stock, (3) Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and (4) Common Stock issuable upon exercise (and, in the case of warrants to purchase Preferred Stock, conversion) of outstanding warrants. Shares described in (1) through (4) above shall be included whether vested or unvested, whether contingent or non-contingent and whether exercisable or not yet exercisable.

(B) No adjustment of the Conversion Price for the Preferred Stock shall be made in an amount less than $0.01 per share, provided that any adjustments that are not required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be either taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to three (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, or shall be made at the end of three (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward. Except to the limited extent provided for in subsections (E)(3) and (E)(4), no adjustment of such Conversion Price pursuant to this subsection 4(d)(i) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

(C) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by this corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.

(D) In the case of the issuance of the Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors and the holders of at least 60% of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, irrespective of any accounting treatment.

(E) In the case of the issuance (whether before, on or after the applicable Purchase Date) of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the following provisions shall apply for all purposes of this subsection 4(d)(i) and subsection 4(d)(ii):

(1) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in subsections 4(d)(i)(C) and (d)(i)(D)), if any, received by this corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum exercise price provided in such options or rights for the Common Stock covered thereby.

(2) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of, or in exchange for, any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for

 

11


such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by this corporation for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by this corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in subsections 4(d)(i)(C) and (d)(i)(D)).

(3) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to this corporation upon exercise of such options or rights or upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, including, but not limited to, a change resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof, the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the conversion or exchange of such securities.

(4) Upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities or options or rights related to such securities shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or exchangeable securities that remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities.

(5) The number of shares of Common Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor pursuant to subsections 4(d)(i)(E)(l) and (2) shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in either subsection 4(d)(i)(E)(3) or (4).

(ii) “ Additional Stock ” shall mean any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to subsection 4(d)(i)(E)) by this corporation after the Effective Date other than:

(A) Common Stock issued pursuant to a transaction described in subsection 4(d)(iii) hereof;

(B) Shares of Common Stock issuable or issued to employees, consultants, or directors (if in transactions with primarily non-financing purposes) of this corporation pursuant to a stock option plan, performance bonus plan or restricted stock plan approved by the Board of Directors of this corporation;

 

12


(C) Shares of Common Stock (i) issuable or issued to customers or vendors (if in transactions with primarily non-financing purposes) of this corporation, financial institutions or lessors in connection with commercial credit arrangements, equipment financings or similar transactions, and (ii) approved and deemed not to be “Additional Stock” by the Board of Directors of the corporation;

(D) Shares of Common Stock issuable or issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities outstanding on the Effective Date;

(E) Shares of Common Stock (i) issued or issuable in connection with a bona fide business acquisition of or by this corporation that is approved by the Board of Directors, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock or otherwise, and (ii) approved and deemed not to be “Additional Stock” by the Board of Directors of the corporation;

(F) Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock; or

(G) Common Stock issued or deemed issued pursuant to subsection 4(d)(i)(E) as a result of a decrease in the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock resulting from the operation of Section 4(d), or Common Stock issued or issuable or deemed issued as a result of an adjustment to the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock resulting from the operation of Section 4(d);

(iii) In the event this corporation should at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as “ Common Stock Equivalents ”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents.

(iv) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Purchase Date is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price for the Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

 

13


(e) Other Distributions . In the event this corporation shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by this corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in subsection 4(d)(iii), then, in each such case for the purpose of this subsection 4(e), the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of Shares of Common Stock of this corporation into which their shares of Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of this corporation entitled to receive such distribution.

(f) Recapitalizations . If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 4 or Section 2) provision shall be made so that the holders of the Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of this corporation or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

(g) No Impairment . This corporation will not, without the appropriate vote of the stockholders under the General Corporation Law or Section 6 of this Article IV(B), by amendment of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by this corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock against impairment.

(h) No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments .

(i) No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion. If the conversion would result in any fractional share, this corporation shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of such fractional share on the date of conversion, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(ii) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4, this corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms

Meetings of stockholders for any other purpose may be held at such time and place, if any, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice.

2.2 Annual meetings of stockholders, commencing with the year 2002, shall be held at such date and time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting, at which they shall elect by a plurality vote a Board of Directors, and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

2.4 The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address (but not the electronic address or other electronic contact information) of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a


period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

2.5 Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the certificate of incorporation, may be called by the president and shall be called by the president or secretary at the request in writing of a majority of the Board of Directors, or at the request in writing of stockholders owning at least fifty percent (50%) in amount of the entire capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.

2.6 Written notice of a special meeting stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not fewer than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. The means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting shall also be provided in the notice.

2.8

(a) The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

(2) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (i) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder, (ii) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (iii) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the corporation.

2.9 When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the statutes or of the certificate of incorporation, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

2.10 Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote by such stockholder or by proxy for each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such stockholder, but no proxy shall be voted on after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

2.11

(a) Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

ARTICLE III

DIRECTORS

3.1 The number of directors that shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors or by the stockholders at the annual

 

3


meeting of the stockholders, except as provided in Section 3.2 of this Article, and each director elected shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified. Directors need not be stockholders.

3.2 Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and the directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until their successors are duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced. If there are no directors in office, then an election of directors may be held in the manner provided by statute. If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office shall constitute less than a majority of the whole Board of Directors (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), the Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least ten percent (10%) of the total number of the shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office.

3.3 The business of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of its Board of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the certificate of incorporation or by these bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

3.4 The Board of Directors of the corporation may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or without the State of Delaware.

3.5 The first meeting of each newly elected Board of Directors shall be held at such time and place as shall be fixed by the vote of the stockholders at the annual meeting and no notice of such meeting shall be necessary to the newly elected directors in order legally to constitute the meeting, provided a quorum shall be present. In the event of the failure of the stockholders to fix the time or place of such first meeting of the newly elected Board of Directors, or in the event such meeting is not held at the time and place so fixed by the stockholders, the meeting may be held at such time and place as shall be specified in a notice given as hereinafter provided for special meetings of the Board of Directors, or as shall be specified in a written waiver signed by all of the directors.

3.6 Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the Board of Directors.

3.7 Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the president on two (2) days’ notice to each director by mail or forty-eight (48) hours’ notice to each director either personally or by telegram; special meetings shall be called by the president or secretary in like manner and on like notice on the written request of two (2) directors unless the Board of Directors consists of only one director, in which case special meetings shall be called by the president or secretary in like manner and on like notice on the written request of the sole director.

 

4


3.8 At all meetings of the Board of Directors a majority of the directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

3.9 Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

3.10 Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, members of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or other means of communication of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

COMMITTEES OF DIRECTORS

3.11 The Board of Directors may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the corporation. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee.

In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member.

Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to the following matters: (i) approving or adopting, or recommending to the stockholders, any action or matter expressly required by the General Corporation Law of Delaware to be submitted to stockholders for approval or (ii) adopting, amending or repealing any provision of these bylaws.

3.11 Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board of Directors when required.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

3.12 Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or a stated salary as director. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings.

REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

3.13 Unless otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of shares entitled to vote at an election of directors.

ARTICLE IV

NOTICES

4.1 Whenever, under the provisions of the statutes or of the certificate of incorporation or of these bylaws, notice is required to be given to any director or stockholder, it shall not be construed to mean personal notice, but such notice may be given in writing, by mail, addressed to such director or stockholder, at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation, with postage thereon prepaid, and such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be deposited in the United States mail. Notice to directors may also be given by telegram.

4.2 Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions of the statutes or of the certificate of incorporation or of these bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto.

Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder or director by written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (1) the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance with such consent and (2) such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

6


an electronic mail address at which the stockholder or director has consented to receive notice; (3) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder or director of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and (4) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder or director. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

(c) For purposes of these bylaws, “electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved, and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

CERTIFICATE OF STOCK

6.1 Every holder of stock in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by, or in the name of the corporation by, the Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors, or the president or a vice-president and the treasurer or an assistant treasurer, or the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation, certifying the number of shares owned by him in the corporation.

Certificates may be issued for partly paid shares and in such case upon the face or back of the certificates issued to represent any such partly paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor, and the amount paid thereon shall be specified.

If the corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualification, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate which the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock, provided that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, in lieu of the foregoing requirements, there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate which the corporation shall issue to represent such

 

9


class or series of stock, a statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

6.2 Any of or all the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

LOST CERTIFICATES

6.3 The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

TRANSFER OF STOCK

6.4 Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.

FIXING RECORD DATE

6.5 In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholder or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

 

10


REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS

6.6 The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

ARTICLE VII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

[Intentionally Omitted]

CHECKS

7.1 All checks or demands for money and notes of the corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers or such other person or persons as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate.

FISCAL YEAR

7.2 The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors.

SEAL

7.3 The Board of Directors may adopt a corporate seal having inscribed thereon the name of the corporation, the year of its organization and the words “Corporate Seal, Delaware.” The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or reproduced or otherwise.

INDEMNIFICATION

7.4 The corporation shall, to the fullest extent authorized under the laws of the State of Delaware, as those laws may be amended and supplemented from time to time, indemnify any director made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of being a director of the corporation or a predecessor corporation or, at the corporation’s request, a director or officer of another corporation; provided, however, that the corporation shall indemnify any such agent in connection with a proceeding initiated by such agent only if such proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation. The indemnification provided for in this Section 7.6 shall: (i) not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacities and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, (ii) continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, and (iii) inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. The corporation’s obligation to provide indemnification under this Section 7.6 shall be offset to the extent of any other source of indemnification or any otherwise applicable insurance coverage under a policy maintained by the corporation or any other person.

 

11


Expenses incurred by a director of the corporation in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a director of the corporation (or was serving at the corporation’s request as a director or officer of another corporation) shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized by relevant sections of the General Corporation Law of Delaware. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the corporation shall not be required to advance such expenses to an agent who is a party to an action, suit or proceeding brought by the corporation and approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the corporation that alleges willful misappropriation of corporate assets by such agent, disclosure of confidential information in violation of such agent’s fiduciary or contractual obligations to the corporation or any other willful and deliberate breach in bad faith of such agent’s duty to the corporation or its stockholders.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 7.6 shall be deemed to be a contract between the corporation and each director who serves in such capacity at any time while this bylaw is in effect, and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts.

The Board of Directors in its discretion shall have power on behalf of the corporation to indemnify any person, other than a director, made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, is or was an officer or employee of the corporation.

To assure indemnification under this Section 7.6 of all directors, officers and employees who are determined by the corporation or otherwise to be or to have been “fiduciaries” of any employee benefit plan of the corporation that may exist from time to time, Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware shall, for the purposes of this Section 7.6, be interpreted as follows: an “other enterprise” shall be deemed to include such an employee benefit plan, including without limitation, any plan of the corporation that is governed by the Act of Congress entitled “Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,” as amended from time to time; the corporation shall be deemed to have requested a person to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance by such person of his duties to the corporation also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to such Act of Congress shall be deemed “fines.”

ARTICLE VIII

AMENDMENTS

8.1 These bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed or new bylaws may be adopted by the stockholders or by the Board of Directors, when such power is conferred upon the

 

12


Board of Directors by the certificate of incorporation at any regular meeting of the stockholders or of the Board of Directors or at any special meeting of the stockholders or of the Board of Directors if notice of such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of new bylaws be contained in the notice of such special meeting. If the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws is conferred upon the Board of Directors by the certificate or incorporation it shall not divest or limit the power of the stockholders to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws.

ARTICLE IX

LOANS TO OFFICERS

9.1 The corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any obligation of, or otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the corporation or of its subsidiaries, including any officer or employee who is a Director of the corporation or its subsidiaries, whenever, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, such loan, guarantee or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the corporation. The loan, guarantee or other assistance may be with or without interest and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the Board of Directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation. Nothing in these bylaws shall be deemed to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the corporation at common law or under any statute.

interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All 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 Company (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities underwritten (including Registrable Securities), then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders (including the Initiating Holders). In no event shall any Registrable Securities be excluded from such underwriting unless all other securities are first excluded. Any Registrable Securities 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 1.2:

  (i)      in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Act; or

  (ii)     after the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2 covering all shares requested to be registered by the Initiating Holders or Holders joining such request (assuming no shares have been excluded from the offering by the decision of the Company or the underwriter or underwriters), and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective; or

  (iv)    if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of Registrable Securities that may be registered on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof; or

  (v)     if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.2, a certificate signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or 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 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 ninety (90) 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 once in any twelve (12)-month period and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any

other stockholder during such ninety (90) day period (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities of participants in a Company stock plan, or a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or transaction under Rule 145 of the Act).

1.3       Company Registration .

(a)      If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its stock or other securities under the Act in connection with the public offering of such securities (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Act, a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities, a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered, or a registration on a Re-Sale Form S-1), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 3.5, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.3(c), use best efforts to cause to be registered under the Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(b)       Right to Terminate Registration . The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 1.7 hereof.

(c)       Initial Re-Sale Registration . Upon the effectiveness of the Company’s first Form 10 registration statement filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, and in addition to the registration rights set forth above, the Company will use reasonable best efforts, subject to applicable rules and regulations, to file a registration statement on Form S-1 covering the resale (the “ Original Re-Sale Form S-1 ”) of the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock together with any shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued and sold in the PIPE Offering (collectively, the “ Re-Sale Shares ”). In the event the SEC informs the Company that all of the Re-Sale Shares cannot, as a result of the application of SEC Rule 415, be registered for sale in a secondary offering in a single registration statement and/or that certain of the selling stockholders would be deemed to be statutory underwriters, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the holders of Re-Sale Shares thereof, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to file amendments to the Original Re-Sale Form S-1 as required by the SEC and/or (iii) withdraw the Original Re-Sale Form S-1 and file a new registration statement on Form S-1 or such other form available for registration of the Re-Sale Shares as a secondary offering (the “ New Re-Sale Registration Statement ”), in either case

covering the maximum number of Re-Sale Shares permitted to be registered by the SEC and avoid the selling stockholders being deemed to be statutory underwriters; provided , however , that prior to such amendment or New Re-Sale Registration Statement, the Company shall be obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all of the Re-Sale Shares and against the selling stockholders being deemed statutory underwriters in accordance with SEC Guidance, including without limitation, the Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, “Securities Act Rules” No. 612.09, and the Securities Act. In the event the Company amends the Original Re-Sale Form S-1 or files a New Re-Sale Registration Statement, as the case may be, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC, SEC Guidance or the Securities Act, on one or more registration statements, those Re-Sale Shares not included in the Original Re-Sale Form S-1 as amended or the New Re-Sale Registration Statement. The number of Re-Sale Shares that may be included in each such registration statement shall be allocated among the holders thereof in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Re-Sale Shares owned by each holder or in such other proportion as is necessary to avoid the selling stockholders being deemed to be statutory underwriters, which reductions shall be applied to the holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Re-Sale Shares held by such holders. In addition, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file, within thirty (30) days of its becoming eligible to do so, a post-effective amendment to Form S-1 on Form S-3 registration statement covering the Re-Sale Shares. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of such registration statement(s) (including, without limitation, as necessary by filing post-effective amendment(s) if required by the filing of a periodic report on Form 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K), provided that Rule 415, or any successor rule under the Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis, and provided further that, in the case of a Form S-3 registration statement, applicable rules under the Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permit, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment which (I) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or (II) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, the incorporation by reference of information required to be included in (I) and (II) above to be contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act in the registration statement, until such time as all Re-Sale Shares have been sold (except as otherwise provided in Section 1.13 ). For purposes of this Agreement, “ Re-Sale Form S-1 ” shall mean any registration statement filed in accordance with this Section 1.3(c) , including the Original Re-Sale Form S-1 and the New Re-Sale Registration Statement.

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Common Stock, including all such Re-Sale Shares, (i) to be quoted on an OTC Quotation System as soon as practicable after the Re-Sale Form S-1 is declared effective by the SEC and (ii) if otherwise eligible pursuant to applicable listing requirements, to be listed on a national securities exchange (including, for example, the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Capital Markets and the NASDAQ Global Market) as soon as practicable following the Company’s acceptance for quotation on an OTC Quotation System.

(d)       Underwriting Requirements . In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under this Section 1.3 to include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the

Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters) and enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with an underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering. In no event shall any Registrable Securities be excluded from such offering unless all other stockholders’ securities have been first excluded. In the event that the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be apportioned pro rata among the selling Holders based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all selling Holders or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the Initial Public Offering of the Company’s securities, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder’s securities are included in such offering. For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder that is a Holder of Registrable Securities and that is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners, affiliates, and stockholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all such related entities and individuals.

1.4       Form S-3 Registration .    After its Initial Public Offering, the Company shall use its best efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms. In case the Company shall receive from the Holders of Registrable Securities a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company shall:

(a)      promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and

(b)      use best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this section 1.4:

[***] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.


   (i)    if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;

  (ii)   if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public (net of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) of less than $1,000,000;

 (iii)   if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board of the Company 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 Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 1.4; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve month period; or

 (iv)   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.

(c)      Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall not be counted as requests for registration effected pursuant to Sections 1.2.

1.5       Obligations of the Company .    Whenever required under this Section 1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of such registration and as to the completion thereof, and the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a)    prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use all best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, except as with respect to a Re-Sale Form S-1 (which shall be subject to Section 1.3(c)), keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days; provided, however, that (i) such 120-day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company; and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such 120-day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold, provided that Rule 415, or any successor rule under the Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis, and provided further that applicable rules under the Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permit, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment which (I) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or (II)

reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, the incorporation by reference of information required to be included in (I) and (II) above to be contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act in the registration statement.

(b)      prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

(c)      furnish to the Holders participating in such registration such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them;

(d)      use all best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Act;

(e)      in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering;

(f)      notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Act or the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and at the request of any such Holder, prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing;

(g)      cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on a national exchange or trading system and on each securities exchange and trading system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(h)      provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration; and

(i)      in the event of any underwritten public offering, cooperate with the selling Holders, the underwriters participating in the offering and their counsel in any due diligence investigation reasonably requested by the selling Holders or the underwriters in connection therewith, and participate, to the extent reasonably requested by the managing underwriter for the offering or the selling Holders, in efforts to sell the Registrable Securities under the offering (including, without limitation, participating in “roadshow” meetings with prospective investors) that would be customary for underwritten primary offerings of a comparable amount of equity securities by the Company.

1.6       Information from Holder .  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

1.7       Expenses of Registration .  All expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders shall be borne by the Company, such counsel to be selected by the Selling Holders that hold a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.4 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered other than by reason of cut-back (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be requested in the withdrawn registration); provided further, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company which did not exist at the time of the request, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any such expenses.

1.8       Delay of Registration .  No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.

1.9       Indemnification .    In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 1:

(a)      To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners or officers, directors and stockholders of each Holder, legal counsel and accountants for each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act or any other federal or state securities laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect

thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “ Violation ”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act or any other federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any other federal or state securities laws; and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection l.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an instrument duly executed by a Holder, underwriter or controlling person expressly for use in connection with such registration, by any such Holder, underwriter or controlling person; provided further, however, that the foregoing agreement by the Company to indemnify each Holder with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or underwriter, or any person controlling such Holder or underwriter, if (i) the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased shares in the offering from such Holder, (ii) a copy of the prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Holder or underwriter to such person, if required by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the shares to such person and (iii) the prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability.

(b)      To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Act, the 1934 Act or any other federal or state securities laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection l.9(b), for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection l.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent

shall not be unreasonably withheld), provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection l.9(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

(c)      Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1.9, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any indemnifying party shall not enter into any settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action without the full and complete release of all the indemnified parties.

(d)      If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense 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 in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that, no contribution by any Holder, when combined with any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 1.9(b), shall exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e)      The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.

(f)      If, in connection with a Re-Sale Form S-1 filed in accordance with Section 1.3(c) hereof, the SEC explicitly states that a Holder is required under

1.10       Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934 .  With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:

  (a)      make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after ninety (90) days after the earlier of the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for the Initial Public Offering or the OTC Trading Date;

  (b)      take such action as is necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities, such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year in which the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public is declared effective;

  (c)      file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Act and the 1934 Act; and

  (d)      furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for the Initial Public Offering or the OTC Trading Date), the Act and the 1934 Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

1.11       Assignment of Registration Rights .    The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of such securities that (i) is an

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such one hundred eighty (180) day period may be extended as required to comply with FINRA Rule 2711 (or any successor rules or amendments thereto).

The underwriters in connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 1.12 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the Company or the underwriters shall apply pro rata to all Holders subject to such agreements, based on the number of shares subject to such agreements.

In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.

The Company shall promptly, in writing, inform each Major Investor that elects to purchase all the Shares available to it (a “ Fully-Exercising Investor ”) of any other Major Investor’s failure to do likewise (the “ Unsubscribed Shares ”).

If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the Shares within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within ninety (90) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Shares shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Major Investors in accordance herewith.

Preferred Stock (collectively, the “ [***] Stock ”), neither the Company nor the Company’s Board of Directors nor any Investor or group of Investors shall, without the express prior written consent of the [***] Investors, approve or authorize any amendment, alteration or repeal to the Company Charter, the By-Laws of the Company, this Agreement, the Series E Agreement, the Amended and Restated Voting Agreement with the Company or the Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement with the Company, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or enter into any other agreement, in each case, to the extent that any such amendment, alteration or repeal or new agreement would further restrict or limit the transferability of any shares of the [***] Stock beyond the restrictions and limitations provided in the documents specified above as in effect on the date hereof.

 2.10       Initial Public Offering Directed Shares .  In connection with an Initial Public Offering of the Company’s Common Stock consummated at least one (1) year after the date hereof (or such earlier date as permitted under applicable regulations), the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of the Initial Public Offering to designate a number of shares equal to five percent (5%) of the Common Stock to be offered in the Initial Public Offering for sale under a “directed shares program” and shall instruct such underwriter(s) to allocate all shares subject to such directed shares program to be sold to persons and entities designated by the Major Investors. The shares designated by the underwriter(s) for sale under a directed shares program are referred to herein as “ directed shares .” The number of directed shares that a Major Investor may designate to be sold shall be determined on a pro rata basis, in proportion to the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by each Major Investor relative to all Major Investors, calculated on an as-converted to Common Stock basis. Each of the Major Investors shall have the right to apportion the number of directed shares that a Major Investor may designate to be sold among any of its partners, members, affiliates, predecessor or successor venture capital funds, or persons or entities under common investment management with such Major Investor. The Major Investors acknowledge that, despite the Company’s use of its commercially reasonable efforts, the underwriter(s) may determine in their sole discretion that it is not advisable to designate all such shares as directed shares in the Initial Public Offering, in which case the number of directed shares may be reduced or no directed shares may be designated, as applicable. The Major Investors also acknowledge that notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, the sale of any directed shares to any Major Investor pursuant to this Agreement will only be made in compliance with FINRA Rules 2110 and 2790, or any successor rules, and federal, state, and local laws, rules, and regulations, and only if the Initial Public Offering is consummated after one (1) year from the date hereof. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, this supersedes and terminates that certain Letter Agreement among the Company and certain purchasers the Company’s Series B-2 Preferred Stock (each of whom are a party hereto), dated on or around January 27, 2005, regarding the right to participate in an Initial Public Offering of the Company’s securities.

SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE.

The purpose of the Plan is to offer selected persons an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the success of the Company, or to increase such interest, by purchasing Shares of the Company’s Stock. The Plan provides both for the direct award or sale of Shares and for the grant of Options to purchase Shares. Options granted under the Plan may include Nonstatutory Options as well as ISOs intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code.

Capitalized terms are defined in Section 12.

SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATION.

(a) Committees of the Board of Directors . The Plan may be administered by one or more Committees. Each Committee shall consist of two or more members of the Board of Directors who have been appointed by the Board of Directors. Each Committee shall have such authority and be responsible for such functions as the Board of Directors has assigned to it. If no Committee has been appointed, the entire Board of Directors shall administer the Plan. Any reference to the Board of Directors in the Plan shall be construed as a reference to the Committee (if any) to whom the Board of Directors has assigned a particular function.

(b) Authority of the Board of Directors . Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board of Directors shall have full authority and discretion to take any actions it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. All decisions, interpretations and other actions of the Board of Directors shall be final and binding on all Purchasers, all Optionees and all persons deriving their rights from a Purchaser or Optionee.

SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY.

(a) General Rule . Only Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants shall be eligible for the grant of Nonstatutory Options or the direct award or sale of Shares. Only Employees shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs.

(b) Ten-Percent Stockholders . A person who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company, its Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for the grant of an ISO unless (i) the Exercise Price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant and (ii) such ISO by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant. For purposes of this Subsection (b), in determining stock ownership, the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall be applied.

SECTION 4. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.

(a) Basic Limitation . The aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan (upon exercise of Options or other rights to acquire Shares) shall not exceed 8,888,371 1 Shares, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8. All of these Shares may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs. The number of Shares that are subject to Options or other rights outstanding at any time under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares that then remain available for issuance under the Plan. The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. Shares offered under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares.

(b) Additional Shares . In the event that any outstanding Option or other right for any reason expires or is canceled or otherwise terminated, the Shares allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option or other right shall again be available for the purposes of the Plan. In the event that Shares issued under the Plan are reacquired by the Company, such Shares shall again be available for the purposes of the Plan.

SECTION 5. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS OR SALES.

(a) Stock Purchase Agreement . Each award or sale of Shares under the Plan (other than upon exercise of an Option) shall be evidenced by a Stock Purchase Agreement between the Purchaser and the Company. Such award or sale shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Board of Directors deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Purchase Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Purchase Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

(b) Duration of Offers and Nontransferability of Rights . Any right to acquire Shares under the Plan (other than an Option) shall automatically expire if not exercised by the Purchaser within 30 days after the grant of such right was communicated to the Purchaser by the Company. Such right shall not be transferable and shall be exercisable only by the Purchaser to whom such right was granted.

(c) Purchase Price . The Board of Directors shall determine the Purchase Price of Shares to be offered under the Plan at its sole discretion. The Purchase Price shall be payable in a form described in Section 7.

(d) Withholding Taxes . As a condition to the purchase of Shares, the Purchaser shall make such arrangements as the Board of Directors may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such purchase.

(e) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares . Any Shares awarded or sold under the Plan shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Board of Directors may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Purchase Agreement and shall apply in addition to any restrictions that may apply to holders of Shares generally.

SECTION 6. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

(a) Stock Option Agreement . Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. The Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Board of Directors deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

(b) Number of Shares . Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 8. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify whether the Option is an ISO or a Nonstatutory Option.

(c) Exercise Price . Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of any Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, and in the case of an ISO a higher percentage may be required by Section 3(b). Subject to the preceding sentence, the Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in a form described in Section 7.

(d) Exercisability . Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The Board of Directors shall determine the exercisability provisions of any Stock Option Agreement at its sole discretion.

(e) Accelerated Exercisability . Unless the applicable Stock Option Agreement provides otherwise, all of an Optionee’s Options shall become exercisable in full if (i) the Company is subject to a Change in Control before the Optionee’s Service terminates, (ii) such Options do not remain outstanding, (iii) such Options are not assumed by the surviving corporation or its parent and (iv) the surviving corporation or its parent does not substitute options with substantially the same terms for such Options.

(f) Basic Term . The Stock Option Agreement shall specify the term of the Option. The term shall not exceed 10 years from the date of grant, and in the case of an ISO a shorter term may be required by Section 3(b). Subject to the preceding sentence, the Board of Directors at its sole discretion shall determine when an Option is to expire.

(g) Termination of Service (Except by Death) . If an Optionee’s Service terminates for any reason other than the Optionee’s death, then the Optionee’s Options shall expire on the earliest of the following occasions:

 

3


(i) The expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (f) above;

(ii) The date three months after the termination of the Optionee’s Service for any reason other than Disability, or such later date as the Board of Directors may determine; or

(iii) The date six months after the termination of the Optionee’s Service by reason of Disability, or such later date as the Board of Directors may determine.

The Optionee may exercise all or part of the Optionee’s Options at any time before the expiration of such Options under the preceding sentence, but only to the extent that such Options had become exercisable before the Optionee’s Service terminated (or became exercisable as a result of the termination) and the underlying Shares had vested before the Optionee’s Service terminated (or vested as a result of the termination). The balance of such Options shall lapse when the Optionee’s Service terminates. In the event that the Optionee dies after the termination of the Optionee’s Service but before the expiration of the Optionee’s Options, all or part of such Options may be exercised (prior to expiration) by the executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate or by any person who has acquired such Options directly from the Optionee by beneficiary designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that such Options had become exercisable before the Optionee’s Service terminated (or became exercisable as a result of the termination) and the underlying Shares had vested before the Optionee’s Service terminated (or vested as a result of the termination).

(h) Leaves of Absence . For purposes of Subsection (g) above, Service shall be deemed to continue while the Optionee is on a bona fide leave of absence, if such leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service for this purpose is expressly required by the terms of such leave or by applicable law (as determined by the Company).

(i) Death of Optionee . If an Optionee dies while the Optionee is in Service, then the Optionee’s Options shall expire on the earlier of the following dates:

(i) The expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (f) above; or

(ii) The date 12 months after the Optionee’s death, or such later date as the Board of Directors may determine.

All or part of the Optionee’s Options may be exercised at any time before the expiration of such Options under the preceding sentence by the executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate or by any person who has acquired such Options directly from the Optionee by beneficiary designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that such Options had become exercisable before the Optionee’s death (or became exercisable as a result of the death) and the underlying Shares had vested before the Optionee’s death (or vested as a result of the Optionee’s death). The balance of such Options shall lapse when the Optionee dies.

(j) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares . Any Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Board of Directors may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Option Agreement and shall apply in addition to any restrictions that may apply to holders of Shares generally.

(k) Transferability of Options . An Option shall be transferable by the Optionee only by (i) a beneficiary designation, (ii) a will or (iii) the laws of descent and distribution, except as provided in the next sentence. If the applicable Stock Option Agreement so provides, a Nonstatutory Option shall also be transferable by gift or domestic relations order to a Family Member of the Optionee. An ISO may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee or by the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative.

(l) Withholding Taxes . As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Board of Directors may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise. The Optionee shall also make such arrangements as the Board of Directors may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the disposition of Shares acquired by exercising an Option.

(m) No Rights as a Stockholder . An Optionee, or a transferee of an Optionee, shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by the Optionee’s Option until such person becomes entitled to receive such Shares by filing a notice of exercise and paying the Exercise Price pursuant to the terms of such Option.

(n) Modification, Extension and Assumption of Options . Within the limitations of the Plan, the Board of Directors may modify, extend or assume outstanding Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Options (whether granted by the Company or another issuer) in return for the grant of new Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a different Exercise Price.

Such Shares shall be surrendered to the Company in good form for transfer and shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the Option is exercised. The Optionee shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Exercise Price if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes.

However, the par value of the Shares, if newly issued, shall be paid in cash or cash equivalents. The Shares shall be pledged as security for payment of the principal amount of the promissory note and interest thereon. The interest rate payable under the terms of the promissory note shall not be less than the minimum rate (if any) required to avoid the imputation of additional interest under the Code.

To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, and if Stock is publicly traded, payment may be made all or in part by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes.

(f) Exercise/Pledge . To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, and if Stock is publicly traded, payment may be made all or in part by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to pledge Shares to a securities broker or lender approved by the Company, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes.

(a) General . In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of the Stock, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off, a reclassification or a similar occurrence, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments in one or more of (i) the number of Shares available for future grants under Section 4, (ii) the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option or (iii) the Exercise Price under each outstanding Option.

(c) Reservation of Rights .

Any issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

SECTION 9. SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS.

SECTION 10. NO RETENTION RIGHTS.

Nothing in the Plan or in any right or Option granted under the Plan shall confer upon the Purchaser or Optionee any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining the Purchaser or Optionee) or of the Purchaser or Optionee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

(a) Scope of Repurchase Right . Until they vest in accordance with the Notice of Stock Option Grant and Subsection (b) below, the Shares acquired under this Agreement shall be Restricted Shares and shall be subject to the Company’s Right of Repurchase.

Any additional or exchanged securities or other property described in Subsection (f) below shall immediately be delivered to the Company to be held in escrow. All ordinary cash dividends on Restricted Shares (or on other securities held in escrow) shall be paid directly to the Optionee and shall not be held in escrow. Restricted Shares, together with any other assets held in escrow under this Agreement, shall be (i) surrendered to the Company for repurchase upon exercise of the Right of Repurchase or the Right of First Refusal or (ii) released to the Optionee upon his or her request to the extent that the Shares have ceased to be Restricted Shares (but not more frequently than once every six months). In any event, all Shares that have ceased to be Restricted Shares, together with any other vested assets held in escrow under this Agreement, shall be released within 90 days after the earlier of (i) the termination of the Optionee’s Service or (ii) the lapse of the Right of First Refusal.

(d) Exercise of Repurchase Right . The Company may exercise its Right of Repurchase for some or all Restricted Shares by giving notice to the holder of the Restricted Shares. The Company may give notice at any time during the Repurchase Period pursuant to Section 13(c). The Company shall be deemed to have exercised its Right of Repurchase automatically for all Restricted Shares at the close of the Repurchase Period, unless it previously notified the holder of the Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 13(c) that it will not exercise its Right of Repurchase for some or all of the Restricted Shares or that it will exercise its Right of Repurchase before the close of the Repurchase Period. During the Repurchase Period, the Company shall pay to the holder of the Restricted Shares the purchase price determined under Subsection (a) above. Payment shall be made in cash or cash equivalents and/or by canceling indebtedness to the Company incurred by the Optionee in the purchase of the Restricted Shares. The certificate(s) representing the Restricted Shares to be repurchased shall be delivered to the Company properly endorsed for transfer.

(e) Termination of Rights as Stockholder . If the Right of Repurchase is exercised in accordance with this Section 7 and the Company makes available the consideration for the Restricted Shares to be repurchased, then the person from whom the Restricted Shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of the Restricted Shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration). Such Restricted Shares shall be deemed to have been repurchased pursuant to this Section 7, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have been delivered to the Company.

(f) Additional or Exchanged Securities and Property . In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, any other corporate reorganization, a stock split, the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding securities, any securities or other property (including cash or cash equivalents) that are by reason of such transaction exchanged for, or distributed with respect to, any Restricted Shares shall immediately be subject to the Right of Repurchase. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the exchange or distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Restricted Shares. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the price per share to be paid upon the exercise of the Right of Repurchase, provided that the aggregate purchase price

payable for the Restricted Shares shall remain the same. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, the Right of Repurchase may be exercised by the Company’s successor.

(g) Transfer of Restricted Shares . The Optionee shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any Restricted Shares without the Company’s written consent, except as provided in the following sentence. The Optionee may transfer Restricted Shares to one or more members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family or to a trust established by the Optionee for the benefit of the Optionee and/or one or more members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family, provided in either case that the Transferee agrees in writing on a form prescribed by the Company to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement. If the Optionee transfers any Restricted Shares, then this Agreement shall apply to the Transferee to the same extent as to the Optionee.

SECTION 8. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

(a) Right of First Refusal . In the event that the Optionee proposes to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer to a third party any Shares acquired under this Agreement, or any interest in such Shares, the Company shall have the Right of First Refusal with respect to all (and not less than all) of such Shares. If the Optionee desires to transfer Shares acquired under this Agreement, the Optionee shall give a written Transfer Notice to the Company describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of Shares proposed to be transferred, the proposed transfer price, the name and address of the proposed Transferee and proof satisfactory to the Company that the proposed sale or transfer will not violate any applicable federal or state securities laws. The Transfer Notice shall be signed both by the Optionee and by the proposed Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of both parties to the transfer of the Shares. The Company shall have the right to purchase all, and not less than all, of the Shares on the terms of the proposal described in the Transfer Notice (subject, however, to any change in such terms permitted under Subsection (b) below) by delivery of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date when the Transfer Notice was received by the Company. The Company’s rights under this Subsection (a) shall be freely assignable, in whole or in part.

(b) Transfer of Shares . If the Company fails to exercise its Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date when it received the Transfer Notice, the Optionee may, not later than 90 days following receipt of the Transfer Notice by the Company, conclude a transfer of the Shares subject to the Transfer Notice on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice, provided that any such sale is made in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and not in violation of any other contractual restrictions to which the Optionee is bound. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Optionee, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance with the procedure described in Subsection (a) above. If the Company exercises its Right of First Refusal, the parties shall consummate the sale of the Shares on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice within 60 days after the date when the Company received the Transfer Notice (or within such longer period as may have been specified in the Transfer Notice); provided, however, that in the event the Transfer Notice provided that payment for the Shares was to be made in a form other than cash

or cash equivalents paid at the time of transfer, the Company shall have the option of paying for the Shares with cash or cash equivalents equal to the present value of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice.

(c) Additional or Exchanged Securities and Property . In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, any other corporate reorganization, a stock split, the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding securities, any securities or other property (including cash or cash equivalents) that are by reason of such transaction exchanged for, or distributed with respect to, any Shares subject to this Section 8 shall immediately be subject to the Right of First Refusal. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the exchange or distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Shares subject to this Section 8.

(d) Termination of Right of First Refusal . Any other provision of this Section 8 notwithstanding, in the event that the Stock is readily tradable on an established securities market when the Optionee desires to transfer Shares, the Company shall have no Right of First Refusal, and the Optionee shall have no obligation to comply with the procedures prescribed by Subsections (a) and (b) above.

(e) Permitted Transfers . This Section 8 shall not apply to (i) a transfer by beneficiary designation, will or intestate succession or (ii) a transfer to one or more members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family or to a trust established by the Optionee for the benefit of the Optionee and/or one or more members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family, provided in either case that the Transferee agrees in writing on a form prescribed by the Company to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement. If the Optionee transfers any Shares acquired under this Agreement, either under this Subsection (e) or after the Company has failed to exercise the Right of First Refusal, then this Agreement shall apply to the Transferee to the same extent as to the Optionee.

(f) Termination of Rights as Stockholder . If the Company makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Shares to be purchased in accordance with this Section 8, then after such time the person from whom such Shares are to be purchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such Shares shall be deemed to have been purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement.

(b) Any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange or other securities market on which Stock is listed has been satisfied; and

(c) Any other applicable provision of federal, state or foreign law has been satisfied.

SECTION 10. NO REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, register or qualify the sale of Shares under the Securities Act or any other applicable law. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the sale of Shares under this Agreement to comply with any law.

SECTION 11. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.

(a) Securities Law Restrictions . Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Shares under the Plan have been registered under the Securities Act or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, the Company at its discretion may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of the Company, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state or any other law.

(b) Market Stand-Off . In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, including the Company’s initial public offering, the Optionee or a Transferee shall not directly or indirectly sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Shares acquired under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters. Such restriction (the “Market Stand-Off”) shall be in effect for such period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters. In no event, however, shall such period exceed 180 days. The Market Stand-Off shall in any event terminate two years after the date of the Company’s initial public offering. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such Shares thereby become convertible, shall immediately be subject to the Market Stand-Off. In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares acquired under this Agreement until the end of the applicable stand-off period. The Company’s underwriters shall be beneficiaries of the agreement set forth in this Subsection (b). This

 

8


Subsection (b) shall not apply to Shares registered in the public offering under the Securities Act, and the Optionee or a Transferee shall be subject to this Subsection (b) only if the directors and officers of the Company are subject to similar arrangements.

(c) Investment Intent at Grant . The Optionee represents and agrees that the Shares to be acquired upon exercising this option will be acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof.

(d) Investment Intent at Exercise . In the event that the sale of Shares under the Plan is not registered under the Securities Act but an exemption is available which requires an investment representation or other representation, the Optionee shall represent and agree at the time of exercise that the Shares being acquired upon exercising this option are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.

(e) Legends . All certificates evidencing Shares purchased under this Agreement shall bear the following legend:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED OR IN ANY MANNER DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SHARES (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE SHARES). SUCH AGREEMENT GRANTS TO THE COMPANY CERTAIN RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL UPON AN ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF THE SHARES AND CERTAIN REPURCHASE RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION OF SERVICE WITH THE COMPANY. THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY WILL UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FURNISH A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT TO THE HOLDER HEREOF WITHOUT CHARGE.”

All certificates evidencing Shares purchased under this Agreement in an unregistered transaction shall bear the following legend (and such other restrictive legends as are required or deemed advisable under the provisions of any applicable law):

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

(f) Removal of Legends . If, in the opinion of the Company and its counsel, any legend placed on a stock certificate representing Shares sold under this Agreement is no longer required, the holder of such certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate for a certificate representing the same number of Shares but without such legend.

 

9


(g) Administration . Any determination by the Company and its counsel in connection with any of the matters set forth in this Section 11 shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and all other persons.

SECTION 12. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.

In the event of any transaction described in Section 8(a) of the Plan, the terms of this option (including, without limitation, the number and kind of Shares subject to this option and the Exercise Price) shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 8(a) of the Plan. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or consolidation, this option shall be subject to the agreement of merger or consolidation, as provided in Section 8(b) of the Plan.

SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

(a) Rights as a Stockholder . Neither the Optionee nor the Optionee’s representative shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares subject to this option until the Optionee or the Optionee’s representative becomes entitled to receive such Shares by filing a notice of exercise and paying the Purchase Price pursuant to Sections 4 and 5.

(b) No Retention Rights . Nothing in this option or in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining the Optionee) or of the Optionee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

This option is intended to be an ISO or an NSO, as provided in the Notice of Stock Option Grant.

SECTION 4. EXERCISE PROCEDURES.

(a) Notice of Exercise . The Optionee or the Optionee’s representative may exercise this option by giving written notice to the Company pursuant to Section 13(c). The notice shall specify the election to exercise this option, the number of Shares for which it is being exercised and the form of payment. The person exercising this option shall sign the notice. In the event that this option is being exercised by the representative of the Optionee, the notice shall be accompanied by proof (satisfactory to the Company) of the representative’s right to exercise this option. The Optionee or the Optionee’s representative shall deliver to the Company, at the time of giving the notice, payment in a form permissible under Section 5 for the full amount of the Purchase Price.

(b) Issuance of Shares . After receiving a proper notice of exercise, the Company shall cause to be issued one or more certificates evidencing the Shares for which this option has been exercised. Such Shares shall be registered (i) in the name of the person exercising this option, (ii) in the names of such person and his or her spouse as community property or as joint tenants with the right of survivorship or (iii) with the Company’s consent, in the name of a revocable trust. In the case of Restricted Shares, the Company shall cause such certificates to be deposited in escrow under Section 7(c). In the case of other Shares, the Company shall cause such certificates to be delivered to or upon the order of the person exercising this option.

Such Shares shall be surrendered to the Company in good form for transfer and shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when this option is exercised. The Optionee shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Purchase Price if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to this option for financial reporting purposes.

(c) Exercise/Sale . If Stock is publicly traded, all or part of the Purchase Price and any withholding taxes may be paid by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company.

When the Optionee’s Service terminates, this option shall expire immediately with respect to the number of Shares for which this option is not yet exercisable and with respect to any Restricted Shares. In the event that the Optionee dies after termination of Service but before the expiration of this option, all or part of this option may be exercised (prior to expiration) by the executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate or by any person who has acquired this option directly from the Optionee by beneficiary designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that this option was exercisable for vested Shares on or before the date when the Optionee’s Service terminated.

(c) Death of the Optionee . If the Optionee dies while in Service, then this option shall expire on the earlier of the following dates:

(e) Notice Concerning ISO Treatment . Even if this option is designated as an ISO in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, it ceases to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an ISO to the extent that it is exercised:

SECTION 7. RIGHT OF REPURCHASE.

(a) Scope of Repurchase Right . Until they vest in accordance with the Notice of Stock Option Grant and Subsection (b) below, the Shares acquired under this Agreement shall be Restricted Shares and shall be subject to the Company’s Right of Repurchase. The Company, however, may decline to exercise its Right of Repurchase or may exercise its Right of Repurchase only with respect to a portion of the Restricted Shares. The Company may exercise its Right of Repurchase only during the Repurchase Period following the termination of the Optionee’s Service. The Right of Repurchase may be exercised automatically under Subsection (d) below. If the Right of Repurchase is exercised, the Company shall pay the Optionee an amount equal to the Exercise Price for each of the Restricted Shares being repurchased.

(b) Lapse of Repurchase Right . The Right of Repurchase shall lapse with respect to the Restricted Shares in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. In addition, if the Company is subject to a Change in Control before the Optionee’s Service terminates, the Right of Repurchase shall lapse with respect to 100% of the Restricted Shares.

 

4


(c) Escrow . Upon issuance, the certificate(s) for Restricted Shares shall be deposited in escrow with the Company to be held in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any additional or exchanged securities or other property described in Subsection (f) below shall immediately be delivered to the Company to be held in escrow. All ordinary cash dividends on Restricted Shares (or on other securities held in escrow) shall be paid directly to the Optionee and shall not be held in escrow. Restricted Shares, together with any other assets held in escrow under this Agreement, shall be (i) surrendered to the Company for repurchase upon exercise of the Right of Repurchase or the Right of First Refusal or (ii) released to the Optionee upon his or her request to the extent that the Shares have ceased to be Restricted Shares (but not more frequently than once every six months). In any event, all Shares that have ceased to be Restricted Shares, together with any other vested assets held in escrow under this Agreement, shall be released within 90 days after the earlier of (i) the termination of the Optionee’s Service or (ii) the lapse of the Right of First Refusal.

(d) Exercise of Repurchase Right . The Company may exercise its Right of Repurchase for some or all Restricted Shares by giving notice to the holder of the Restricted Shares. The Company may give notice at any time during the Repurchase Period pursuant to Section 13(c). The Company shall be deemed to have exercised its Right of Repurchase automatically for all Restricted Shares at the close of the Repurchase Period, unless it previously notified the holder of the Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 13(c) that it will not exercise its Right of Repurchase for some or all of the Restricted Shares or that it will exercise its Right of Repurchase before the close of the Repurchase Period. During the Repurchase Period, the Company shall pay to the holder of the Restricted Shares the purchase price determined under Subsection (a) above. Payment shall be made in cash or cash equivalents and/or by canceling indebtedness to the Company incurred by the Optionee in the purchase of the Restricted Shares. The certificate(s) representing the Restricted Shares to be repurchased shall be delivered to the Company properly endorsed for transfer.

(e) Termination of Rights as Stockholder . If the Right of Repurchase is exercised in accordance with this Section 7 and the Company makes available the consideration for the Restricted Shares to be repurchased, then the person from whom the Restricted Shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of the Restricted Shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration). Such Restricted Shares shall be deemed to have been repurchased pursuant to this Section 7, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have been delivered to the Company.

(f) Additional or Exchanged Securities and Property . In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, any other corporate reorganization, a stock split, the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding securities, any securities or other property (including cash or cash equivalents) that are by reason of such transaction exchanged for, or distributed with respect to, any Restricted Shares shall immediately be subject to the Right of Repurchase. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the exchange or distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Restricted Shares. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the price per share to be paid upon the exercise of the Right of Repurchase, provided that the aggregate purchase price

 

5


payable for the Restricted Shares shall remain the same. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, the Right of Repurchase may be exercised by the Company’s successor.

(g) Transfer of Restricted Shares . The Optionee shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any Restricted Shares without the Company’s written consent, except as provided in the following sentence. The Optionee may transfer Restricted Shares to one or more members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family or to a trust established by the Optionee for the benefit of the Optionee and/or one or more members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family, provided in either case that the Transferee agrees in writing on a form prescribed by the Company to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement. If the Optionee transfers any Restricted Shares, then this Agreement shall apply to the Transferee to the same extent as to the Optionee.

SECTION 8. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

(a) Right of First Refusal . In the event that the Optionee proposes to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer to a third party any Shares acquired under this Agreement, or any interest in such Shares, the Company shall have the Right of First Refusal with respect to all (and not less than all) of such Shares. If the Optionee desires to transfer Shares acquired under this Agreement, the Optionee shall give a written Transfer Notice to the Company describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of Shares proposed to be transferred, the proposed transfer price, the name and address of the proposed Transferee and proof satisfactory to the Company that the proposed sale or transfer will not violate any applicable federal or state securities laws. The Transfer Notice shall be signed both by the Optionee and by the proposed Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of both parties to the transfer of the Shares. The Company shall have the right to purchase all, and not less than all, of the Shares on the terms of the proposal described in the Transfer Notice (subject, however, to any change in such terms permitted under Subsection (b) below) by delivery of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date when the Transfer Notice was received by the Company. The Company’s rights under this Subsection (a) shall be freely assignable, in whole or in part.

(b) Transfer of Shares . If the Company fails to exercise its Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date when it received the Transfer Notice, the Optionee may, not later than 90 days following receipt of the Transfer Notice by the Company, conclude a transfer of the Shares subject to the Transfer Notice on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice, provided that any such sale is made in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and not in violation of any other contractual restrictions to which the Optionee is bound. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Optionee, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance with the procedure described in Subsection (a) above. If the Company exercises its Right of First Refusal, the parties shall consummate the sale of the Shares on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice within 60 days after the date when the Company received the Transfer Notice (or within such longer period as may have been specified in the Transfer Notice); provided, however, that in the event the Transfer Notice provided that payment for the Shares was to be made in a form other than cash

 

6


or cash equivalents paid at the time of transfer, the Company shall have the option of paying for the Shares with cash or cash equivalents equal to the present value of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice.

(c) Additional or Exchanged Securities and Property . In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, any other corporate reorganization, a stock split, the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding securities, any securities or other property (including cash or cash equivalents) that are by reason of such transaction exchanged for, or distributed with respect to, any Shares subject to this Section 8 shall immediately be subject to the Right of First Refusal. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the exchange or distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Shares subject to this Section 8.

(d) Termination of Right of First Refusal . Any other provision of this Section 8 notwithstanding, in the event that the Stock is readily tradable on an established securities market when the Optionee desires to transfer Shares, the Company shall have no Right of First Refusal, and the Optionee shall have no obligation to comply with the procedures prescribed by Subsections (a) and (b) above.

(e) Permitted Transfers . This Section 8 shall not apply to (i) a transfer by beneficiary designation, will or intestate succession or (ii) a transfer to one or more members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family or to a trust established by the Optionee for the benefit of the Optionee and/or one or more members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family, provided in either case that the Transferee agrees in writing on a form prescribed by the Company to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement. If the Optionee transfers any Shares acquired under this Agreement, either under this Subsection (e) or after the Company has failed to exercise the Right of First Refusal, then this Agreement shall apply to the Transferee to the same extent as to the Optionee.

(f) Termination of Rights as Stockholder . If the Company makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Shares to be purchased in accordance with this Section 8, then after such time the person from whom such Shares are to be purchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such Shares shall be deemed to have been purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement.

SECTION 9. LEGALITY OF INITIAL ISSUANCE.

No Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this option unless and until the Company has determined that:

 

7


(a) It and the Optionee have taken any actions required to register the Shares under the Securities Act or to perfect an exemption from the registration requirements thereof;

(b) Any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange or other securities market on which Stock is listed has been satisfied; and

(c) Any other applicable provision of federal, state or foreign law has been satisfied.

SECTION 10. NO REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, register or qualify the sale of Shares under the Securities Act or any other applicable law. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the sale of Shares under this Agreement to comply with any law.

SECTION 11. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.

(a) Securities Law Restrictions . Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Shares under the Plan have been registered under the Securities Act or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, the Company at its discretion may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of the Company, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state or any other law.

(b) Market Stand-Off . In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, including the Company’s initial public offering, the Optionee or a Transferee shall not directly or indirectly sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Shares acquired under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters. Such restriction (the “Market Stand-Off”) shall be in effect for such period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters. In no event, however, shall such period exceed 180 days. The Market Stand-Off shall in any event terminate two years after the date of the Company’s initial public offering. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such Shares thereby become convertible, shall immediately be subject to the Market Stand-Off. In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares acquired under this Agreement until the end of the applicable stand-off period. The Company’s underwriters shall be beneficiaries of the agreement set forth in this Subsection (b). This

 

8


Subsection (b) shall not apply to Shares registered in the public offering under the Securities Act, and the Optionee or a Transferee shall be subject to this Subsection (b) only if the directors and officers of the Company are subject to similar arrangements.

(c) Investment Intent at Grant . The Optionee represents and agrees that the Shares to be acquired upon exercising this option will be acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof.

(d) Investment Intent at Exercise . In the event that the sale of Shares under the Plan is not registered under the Securities Act but an exemption is available which requires an investment representation or other representation, the Optionee shall represent and agree at the time of exercise that the Shares being acquired upon exercising this option are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.

(e) Legends . All certificates evidencing Shares purchased under this Agreement shall bear the following legend:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED OR IN ANY MANNER DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SHARES (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE SHARES). SUCH AGREEMENT GRANTS TO THE COMPANY CERTAIN RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL UPON AN ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF THE SHARES AND CERTAIN REPURCHASE RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION OF SERVICE WITH THE COMPANY. THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY WILL UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FURNISH A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT TO THE HOLDER HEREOF WITHOUT CHARGE.”

All certificates evidencing Shares purchased under this Agreement in an unregistered transaction shall bear the following legend (and such other restrictive legends as are required or deemed advisable under the provisions of any applicable law):

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

(f) Removal of Legends . If, in the opinion of the Company and its counsel, any legend placed on a stock certificate representing Shares sold under this Agreement is no longer required, the holder of such certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate for a certificate representing the same number of Shares but without such legend.

 

9


(g) Administration . Any determination by the Company and its counsel in connection with any of the matters set forth in this Section 11 shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and all other persons.

SECTION 12. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.

In the event of any transaction described in Section 8(a) of the Plan, the terms of this option (including, without limitation, the number and kind of Shares subject to this option and the Exercise Price) shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 8(a) of the Plan. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or consolidation, this option shall be subject to the agreement of merger or consolidation, as provided in Section 8(b) of the Plan.

SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

(a) Rights as a Stockholder . Neither the Optionee nor the Optionee’s representative shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares subject to this option until the Optionee or the Optionee’s representative becomes entitled to receive such Shares by filing a notice of exercise and paying the Purchase Price pursuant to Sections 4 and 5.

(b) No Retention Rights . Nothing in this option or in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining the Optionee) or of the Optionee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

The Exercise Price is agreed to be at least 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Date of Grant (110% of Fair Market Value if Section 3(b) of the Plan applies). This option is intended to be an ISO or an NSO, as provided in the Notice of Stock Option Grant.

SECTION 4. EXERCISE PROCEDURES.

(a) Notice of Exercise . The Optionee or the Optionee’s representative may exercise this option by giving written notice to the Company pursuant to Section 13(c). The notice shall specify the election to exercise this option, the number of Shares for which it is being exercised and the form of payment. The person exercising this option shall sign the notice. In the event that this option is being exercised by the representative of the Optionee, the notice shall be accompanied by proof (satisfactory to the Company) of the representative’s right to exercise this option. The Optionee or the Optionee’s representative shall deliver to the Company, at the time of giving the notice, payment in a form permissible under Section 5 for the full amount of the Purchase Price.

(b) Issuance of Shares . After receiving a proper notice of exercise, the Company shall cause to be issued one or more certificates evidencing the Shares for which this option has been exercised. Such Shares shall be registered (i) in the name of the person exercising this option, (ii) in the names of such person and his or her spouse as community property or as joint tenants with the right of survivorship or (iii) with the Company’s consent, in the name of a revocable trust. In the case of Restricted Shares, the Company shall cause such certificates to be deposited in escrow under Section 7(c). In the case of other Shares, the Company shall cause such certificates to be delivered to or upon the order of the person exercising this option.

Such Shares shall be surrendered to the Company in good form for transfer and shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when this option is exercised. The Optionee shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Purchase Price if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to this option for financial reporting purposes.

(c) Exercise/Sale . If Stock is publicly traded, all or part of the Purchase Price and any withholding taxes may be paid by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company.

(iii) The date six months after the termination of the Optionee’s Service by reason of Disability.

The Optionee may exercise all or part of this option at any time before its expiration under the preceding sentence, but only to the extent that this option is exercisable for vested Shares on or before the date when the Optionee’s Service terminates. When the Optionee’s Service terminates, this option shall expire immediately with respect to the number of Shares for which this option is not yet exercisable and with respect to any Restricted Shares. In the event that the Optionee dies after termination of Service but before the expiration of this option, all or part of this option may be exercised (prior to expiration) by the executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate or by any person who has acquired this option directly from the Optionee by beneficiary designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that this option was exercisable for vested Shares on or before the date when the Optionee’s Service terminated.

When the Optionee dies, this option shall expire immediately with respect to the number of Shares for which this option is not yet exercisable and with respect to any Restricted Shares.

(d) Leaves of Absence . For any purpose under this Agreement, Service shall be deemed to continue while the Optionee is on a bona fide leave of absence, if such leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service for such purpose is expressly required by the terms of such leave or by applicable law (as determined by the Company).

(e) Notice Concerning ISO Treatment . Even if this option is designated as an ISO in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, it ceases to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an ISO to the extent that it is exercised:

(i) More than three months after the date when the Optionee ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or permanent and total disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code);

SECTION 7. RIGHT OF REPURCHASE.

(a) Scope of Repurchase Right . Until they vest in accordance with the Notice of Stock Option Grant and Subsection (b) below, the Shares acquired under this Agreement shall be Restricted Shares and shall be subject to the Company’s Right of Repurchase. The Company, however, may decline to exercise its Right of Repurchase or may exercise its Right of Repurchase only with respect to a portion of the Restricted Shares. The Company may exercise its Right of Repurchase only during the Repurchase Period following the termination of the Optionee’s Service. The Right of Repurchase may be exercised automatically under Subsection (d) below. If the Right of Repurchase is exercised, the Company shall pay the Optionee an amount equal to the Exercise Price for each of the Restricted Shares being repurchased.

(b) Lapse of Repurchase Right . The Right of Repurchase shall lapse with respect to the Restricted Shares in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. In addition, if the Company is subject to a Change in Control before the Optionee’s Service terminates and the Optionee is subject to an Involuntary Termination within 12 months after the Change in Control, then the following rules shall apply:

 

4


(i) If the Right of Repurchase has not lapsed with respect to any of the Restricted Shares, the Right of Repurchase will lapse with respect to X/Y of the Restricted Shares in which X is the total number of whole months of Service provided following the Vesting Commencement Date and Y is the total number of months of Service required for the Right of Repurchase to lapse in its entirety (“Monthly Acceleration”); and

(ii) Following the application of the Monthly Acceleration, to the extent applicable, the Right of Repurchase shall lapse with respect to an additional number of Restricted Shares equal to 50% of the then unvested Restricted Shares.

(c) Escrow . Upon issuance, the certificate(s) for Restricted Shares shall be deposited in escrow with the Company to be held in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any additional or exchanged securities or other property described in Subsection (f) below shall immediately be delivered to the Company to be held in escrow. All ordinary cash dividends on Restricted Shares (or on other securities held in escrow) shall be paid directly to the Optionee and shall not be held in escrow. Restricted Shares, together with any other assets held in escrow under this Agreement, shall be (i) surrendered to the Company for repurchase upon exercise of the Right of Repurchase or the Right of First Refusal or (ii) released to the Optionee upon his or her request to the extent that the Shares have ceased to be Restricted Shares (but not more frequently than once every six months). In any event, all Shares that have ceased to be Restricted Shares, together with any other vested assets held in escrow under this Agreement, shall be released within 90 days after the earlier of (i) the termination of the Optionee’s Service or (ii) the lapse of the Right of First Refusal.

(d) Exercise of Repurchase Right . The Company may exercise its Right of Repurchase for some or all Restricted Shares by giving notice to the holder of the Restricted Shares. The Company may give notice at any time during the Repurchase Period pursuant to Section 13(c). The Company shall be deemed to have exercised its Right of Repurchase automatically for all Restricted Shares at the close of the Repurchase Period, unless it previously notified the holder of the Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 13(c) that it will not exercise its Right of Repurchase for some or all of the Restricted Shares or that it will exercise its Right of Repurchase before the close of the Repurchase Period. During the Repurchase Period, the Company shall pay to the holder of the Restricted Shares the purchase price determined under Subsection (a) above. Payment shall be made in cash or cash equivalents and/or by canceling indebtedness to the Company incurred by the Optionee in the purchase of the Restricted Shares.

(f) Additional or Exchanged Securities and Property .

Appropriate adjustments to reflect the exchange or distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Restricted Shares. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the price per share to be paid upon the exercise of the Right of Repurchase, provided that the aggregate purchase price payable for the Restricted Shares shall remain the same.

(g) Transfer of Restricted Shares . The Optionee shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any Restricted Shares without the Company’s written consent, except as provided in the following sentence.

If the Optionee transfers any Restricted Shares, then this Agreement shall apply to the Transferee to the same extent as to the Optionee.

SECTION 8. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

(a) Right of First Refusal . In the event that the Optionee proposes to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer to a third party any Shares acquired under this Agreement, or any interest in such Shares, the Company shall have the Right of First Refusal with respect to all (and not less than all) of such Shares. If the Optionee desires to transfer Shares acquired under this Agreement, the Optionee shall give a written Transfer Notice to the Company describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of Shares proposed to be transferred, the proposed transfer price, the name and address of the proposed Transferee and proof satisfactory to the Company that the proposed sale or transfer will not violate any applicable federal or state securities laws. The Transfer Notice shall be signed both by the Optionee and by the proposed Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of both parties to the transfer of the Shares. The Company shall have the right to purchase all, and not less than all, of the Shares on the terms of the proposal described in the Transfer Notice (subject, however, to any change in such terms permitted under Subsection (b) below) by delivery of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date when the Transfer Notice was received by the Company. The Company’s rights under this Subsection (a) shall be freely assignable, in whole or in part.

(b) Transfer of Shares . If the Company fails to exercise its Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date when it received the Transfer Notice, the Optionee may, not later than 90 days following receipt of the Transfer Notice by the Company, conclude a transfer

 

6


of the Shares subject to the Transfer Notice on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice, provided that any such sale is made in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and not in violation of any other contractual restrictions to which the Optionee is bound. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Optionee, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance with the procedure described in Subsection (a) above. If the Company exercises its Right of First Refusal, the parties shall consummate the sale of the Shares on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice within 60 days after the date when the Company received the Transfer Notice (or within such longer period as may have been specified in the Transfer Notice); provided, however, that in the event the Transfer Notice provided that payment for the Shares was to be made in a form other than cash or cash equivalents paid at the time of transfer, the Company shall have the option of paying for the Shares with cash or cash equivalents equal to the present value of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice.

(c) Additional or Exchanged Securities and Property . In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, any other corporate reorganization, a stock split, the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding securities, any securities or other property (including cash or cash equivalents) that are by reason of such transaction exchanged for, or distributed with respect to, any Shares subject to this Section 8 shall immediately be subject to the Right of First Refusal. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the exchange or distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Shares subject to this Section 8.

(d) Termination of Right of First Refusal . Any other provision of this Section 8 notwithstanding, in the event that the Stock is readily tradable on an established securities market when the Optionee desires to transfer Shares, the Company shall have no Right of First Refusal, and the Optionee shall have no obligation to comply with the procedures prescribed by Subsections (a) and (b) above.

(e) Permitted Transfers . This Section 8 shall not apply to (i) a transfer by beneficiary designation, will or intestate succession or (ii) a transfer to one or more members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family or to a trust established by the Optionee for the benefit of the Optionee and/or one or more members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family, provided in either case that the Transferee agrees in writing on a form prescribed by the Company to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement. If the Optionee transfers any Shares acquired under this Agreement, either under this Subsection (e) or after the Company has failed to exercise the Right of First Refusal, then this Agreement shall apply to the Transferee to the same extent as to the Optionee.

(f) Termination of Rights as Stockholder . If the Company makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Shares to be purchased in accordance with this Section 8, then after such time the person from whom such Shares are to be purchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this

 

7


Agreement). Such Shares shall be deemed to have been purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement.

SECTION 9. LEGALITY OF INITIAL ISSUANCE.

No Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this option unless and until the Company has determined that:

(a) It and the Optionee have taken any actions required to register the Shares under the Securities Act or to perfect an exemption from the registration requirements thereof;

(b) Any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange or other securities market on which Stock is listed has been satisfied; and

(c) Any other applicable provision of federal, state or foreign law has been satisfied.

SECTION 10. NO REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

SECTION 11. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.

(a) Securities Law Restrictions . Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Shares under the Plan have been registered under the Securities Act or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, the Company at its discretion may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of the Company, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state or any other law.

(b) Market Stand-Off . In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, including the Company’s initial public offering, the Optionee or a Transferee shall not directly or indirectly sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Shares acquired under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters. Such restriction (the “Market Stand-Off”) shall be in effect for such period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters. In no event, however, shall such period exceed 180 days. The Market Stand-Off shall in any event terminate two years after the date of the Company’s initial public offering. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, a

 

8


spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such Shares thereby become convertible, shall immediately be subject to the Market Stand-Off. In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares acquired under this Agreement until the end of the applicable stand-off period. The Company’s underwriters shall be beneficiaries of the agreement set forth in this Subsection (b). This Subsection (b) shall not apply to Shares registered in the public offering under the Securities Act, and the Optionee or a Transferee shall be subject to this Subsection (b) only if the directors and officers of the Company are subject to similar arrangements.

(c) Investment Intent at Grant . The Optionee represents and agrees that the Shares to be acquired upon exercising this option will be acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof.

(d) Investment Intent at Exercise . In the event that the sale of Shares under the Plan is not registered under the Securities Act but an exemption is available which requires an investment representation or other representation, the Optionee shall represent and agree at the time of exercise that the Shares being acquired upon exercising this option are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.

(e) Legends . All certificates evidencing Shares purchased under this Agreement shall bear the following legend:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED OR IN ANY MANNER DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SHARES (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE SHARES). SUCH AGREEMENT GRANTS TO THE COMPANY CERTAIN RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL UPON AN ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF THE SHARES AND CERTAIN REPURCHASE RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION OF SERVICE WITH THE COMPANY. THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY WILL UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FURNISH A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT TO THE HOLDER HEREOF WITHOUT CHARGE.”

All certificates evidencing Shares purchased under this Agreement in an unregistered transaction shall bear the following legend (and such other restrictive legends as are required or deemed advisable under the provisions of any applicable law):

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

 

9


(f) Removal of Legends . If, in the opinion of the Company and its counsel, any legend placed on a stock certificate representing Shares sold under this Agreement is no longer required, the holder of such certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate for a certificate representing the same number of Shares but without such legend.

(g) Administration . Any determination by the Company and its counsel in connection with any of the matters set forth in this Section 11 shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and all other persons.

SECTION 12. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.

In the event of any transaction described in Section 8(a) of the Plan, the terms of this option (including, without limitation, the number and kind of Shares subject to this option and the Exercise Price) shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 8(a) of the Plan. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or consolidation, this option shall be subject to the agreement of merger or consolidation, as provided in Section 8(b) of the Plan.

SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

(a) Rights as a Stockholder . Neither the Optionee nor the Optionee’s representative shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares subject to this option until the Optionee or the Optionee’s representative becomes entitled to receive such Shares by filing a notice of exercise and paying the Purchase Price pursuant to Sections 4 and 5.

(b) No Retention Rights . Nothing in this option or in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining the Optionee) or of the Optionee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

SECTION 4. EXERCISE PROCEDURES.

(a) Notice of Exercise . The Optionee or the Optionee’s representative may exercise this option by giving written notice to the Company pursuant to Section 13(c). The notice shall specify the election to exercise this option, the number of Shares for which it is being exercised and the form of payment. The person exercising this option shall sign the notice. In the event that this option is being exercised by the representative of the Optionee, the notice shall be accompanied by proof (satisfactory to the Company) of the representative’s right to exercise this option. The Optionee or the Optionee’s representative shall deliver to the Company, at the time of giving the notice, payment in a form permissible under Section 5 for the full amount of the Purchase Price.

(b) Issuance of Shares . After receiving a proper notice of exercise, the Company shall cause to be issued one or more certificates evidencing the Shares for which this option has been exercised. Such Shares shall be registered (i) in the name of the person exercising this option, (ii) in the names of such person and his or her spouse as community property or as joint tenants with the right of survivorship or (iii) with the Company’s consent, in the name of a revocable trust. In the case of Restricted Shares, the Company shall cause such certificates to be deposited in escrow under Section 7(c). In the case of other Shares, the Company shall cause such certificates to be delivered to or upon the order of the person exercising this option.

(c) Withholding Taxes .

Such Shares shall be surrendered to the Company in good form for transfer and shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when this option is exercised. The Optionee shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Purchase Price if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to this option for financial reporting purposes.

(c) Exercise/Sale . If Stock is publicly traded, all or part of the Purchase Price and any withholding taxes may be paid by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company.

When the Optionee’s Service terminates, this option shall expire immediately with respect to the number of Shares for which this option is not yet exercisable and with respect to any Restricted Shares. In the event that the Optionee dies after termination of Service but before the expiration of this option, all or part of this option may be exercised (prior to expiration) by the executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate or by any person who has acquired this option directly from the Optionee by beneficiary designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that this option was exercisable for vested Shares on or before the date when the Optionee’s Service terminated.

(e) Notice Concerning ISO Treatment . Even if this option is designated as an ISO in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, it ceases to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an ISO to the extent that it is exercised:

Until they vest in accordance with the Notice of Stock Option Grant and Subsection (b) below, the Shares acquired under this Agreement shall be Restricted Shares and shall be subject to the Company’s Right of Repurchase. The Company, however, may decline to exercise its Right of Repurchase or may exercise its Right of Repurchase only with respect to a portion of the Restricted Shares. The Company may exercise its Right of Repurchase only during the Repurchase Period following the termination of the Optionee’s Service. The Right of Repurchase may be exercised automatically under Subsection (d) below. If the Right of Repurchase is exercised, the Company shall pay the Optionee an amount equal to the Exercise Price for each of the Restricted Shares being repurchased.

(b) Lapse of Repurchase Right . The Right of Repurchase shall lapse with respect to the Restricted Shares in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. In addition, if the Company is subject to a Change in Control before the Optionee’s Service terminates and if the Optionee is subject to an Involuntary Termination within 12 months following the Change in Control, then the vested portion of the Restricted Shares shall be determined by adding 12 months to the Optionee’s actual Service.

 

4


(c) Escrow . Upon issuance, the certificate(s) for Restricted Shares shall be deposited in escrow with the Company to be held in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any additional or exchanged securities or other property described in Subsection (f) below shall immediately be delivered to the Company to be held in escrow. All ordinary cash dividends on Restricted Shares (or on other securities held in escrow) shall be paid directly to the Optionee and shall not be held in escrow. Restricted Shares, together with any other assets held in escrow under this Agreement, shall be (i) surrendered to the Company for repurchase upon exercise of the Right of Repurchase or the Right of First Refusal or (ii) released to the Optionee upon his or her request to the extent that the Shares have ceased to be Restricted Shares (but not more frequently than once every six months). In any event, all Shares that have ceased to be Restricted Shares, together with any other vested assets held in escrow under this Agreement, shall be released within 90 days after the earlier of (i) the termination of the Optionee’s Service or (ii) the lapse of the Right of First Refusal.

(d) Exercise of Repurchase Right . The Company may exercise its Right of Repurchase for some or all Restricted Shares by giving notice to the holder of the Restricted Shares. The Company may give notice at any time during the Repurchase Period pursuant to Section 13(c). The Company shall be deemed to have exercised its Right of Repurchase automatically for all Restricted Shares at the close of the Repurchase Period, unless it previously notified the holder of the Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 13(c) that it will not exercise its Right of Repurchase for some or all of the Restricted Shares or that it will exercise its Right of Repurchase before the close of the Repurchase Period. During the Repurchase Period, the Company shall pay to the holder of the Restricted Shares the purchase price determined under Subsection (a) above. Payment shall be made in cash or cash equivalents and/or by canceling indebtedness to the Company incurred by the Optionee in the purchase of the Restricted Shares. The certificate(s) representing the Restricted Shares to be repurchased shall be delivered to the Company properly endorsed for transfer.

(e) Termination of Rights as Shareholder . If the Right of Repurchase is exercised in accordance with this Section 7 and the Company makes available the consideration for the Restricted Shares to be repurchased, then the person from whom the Restricted Shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of the Restricted Shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration). Such Restricted Shares shall be deemed to have been repurchased pursuant to this Section 7, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have been delivered to the Company.

(f) Additional or Exchanged Securities and Property . In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, any other corporate reorganization, a stock split, the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding securities, any securities or other property (including cash or cash equivalents) that are by reason of such transaction exchanged for, or distributed with respect to, any Restricted Shares shall immediately be subject to the Right of Repurchase. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the

 

5


exchange or distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Restricted Shares. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the price per share to be paid upon the exercise of the Right of Repurchase, provided that the aggregate purchase price payable for the Restricted Shares shall remain the same. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, the Right of Repurchase may be exercised by the Company’s successor.

(g) Transfer of Restricted Shares . The Optionee shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any Restricted Shares without the Company’s written consent, except as provided in the following sentence. The Optionee may transfer Restricted Shares to one or more members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family or to a trust established by the Optionee for the benefit of the Optionee and/or one or more members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family, provided in either case that the Transferee agrees in writing on a form prescribed by the Company to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement. If the Optionee transfers any Restricted Shares, then this Agreement shall apply to the Transferee to the same extent as to the Optionee.

SECTION 8. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

(a) Right of First Refusal . In the event that the Optionee proposes to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer to a third party any Shares acquired under this Agreement, or any interest in such Shares, the Company shall have the Right of First Refusal with respect to all (and not less than all) of such Shares. If the Optionee desires to transfer Shares acquired under this Agreement, the Optionee shall give a written Transfer Notice to the Company describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of Shares proposed to be transferred, the proposed transfer price, the name and address of the proposed Transferee and proof satisfactory to the Company that the proposed sale or transfer will not violate any applicable federal or state securities laws. The Transfer Notice shall be signed both by the Optionee and by the proposed Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of both parties to the transfer of the Shares. The Company shall have the right to purchase all, and not less than all, of the Shares on the terms of the proposal described in the Transfer Notice (subject, however, to any change in such terms permitted under Subsection (b) below) by delivery of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date when the Transfer Notice was received by the Company. The Company’s rights under this Subsection (a) shall be freely assignable, in whole or in part.

(b) Transfer of Shares . If the Company fails to exercise its Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date when it received the Transfer Notice, the Optionee may, not later than 90 days following receipt of the Transfer Notice by the Company, conclude a transfer of the Shares subject to the Transfer Notice on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice, provided that any such sale is made in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and not in violation of any other contractual restrictions to which the Optionee is bound. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Optionee, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance with the procedure described in Subsection (a) above. If the Company exercises its Right of First Refusal, the parties shall consummate the sale of the Shares on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice within 60 days

 

6


after the date when the Company received the Transfer Notice (or within such longer period as may have been specified in the Transfer Notice); provided, however, that in the event the Transfer Notice provided that payment for the Shares was to be made in a form other than cash or cash equivalents paid at the time of transfer, the Company shall have the option of paying for the Shares with cash or cash equivalents equal to the present value of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice.

(c) Additional or Exchanged Securities and Property . In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, any other corporate reorganization, a stock split, the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding securities, any securities or other property (including cash or cash equivalents) that are by reason of such transaction exchanged for, or distributed with respect to, any Shares subject to this Section 8 shall immediately be subject to the Right of First Refusal. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the exchange or distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Shares subject to this Section 8.

(d) Termination of Right of First Refusal . Any other provision of this Section 8 notwithstanding, in the event that the Stock is readily tradable on an established securities market when the Optionee desires to transfer Shares, the Company shall have no Right of First Refusal, and the Optionee shall have no obligation to comply with the procedures prescribed by Subsections (a) and (b) above.

(e) Permitted Transfers . This Section 8 shall not apply to (i) a transfer by beneficiary designation, will or intestate succession or (ii) a transfer to one or more members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family or to a trust established by the Optionee for the benefit of the Optionee and/or one or more members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family, provided in either case that the Transferee agrees in writing on a form prescribed by the Company to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement. If the Optionee transfers any Shares acquired under this Agreement, either under this Subsection (e) or after the Company has failed to exercise the Right of First Refusal, then this Agreement shall apply to the Transferee to the same extent as to the Optionee.

(f) Termination of Rights as Shareholder . If the Company makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Shares to be purchased in accordance with this Section 8, then after such time the person from whom such Shares are to be purchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such Shares shall be deemed to have been purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement.

SECTION 9. LEGALITY OF INITIAL ISSUANCE.

No Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this option unless and until the Company has determined that:

 

7


(a) It and the Optionee have taken any actions required to register the Shares under the Securities Act or to perfect an exemption from the registration requirements thereof;

(b) Any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange or other securities market on which Stock is listed has been satisfied; and

(c) Any other applicable provision of federal, state or foreign law has been satisfied.

SECTION 10. NO REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, register or qualify the sale of Shares under the Securities Act or any other applicable law. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the sale of Shares under this Agreement to comply with any law.

SECTION 11. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.

(a) Securities Law Restrictions . Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Shares under the Plan have been registered under the Securities Act or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, the Company at its discretion may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of the Company, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state or any other law.

(b) Market Stand-Off . In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, including the Company’s initial public offering, the Optionee or a Transferee shall not directly or indirectly sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Shares acquired under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters. Such restriction (the “Market Stand-Off”) shall be in effect for such period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters. In no event, however, shall such period exceed 180 days. The Market Stand-Off shall in any event terminate two years after the date of the Company’s initial public offering. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such Shares thereby become convertible, shall immediately be subject to the Market Stand-Off. In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares acquired under this Agreement until the end of the applicable stand-off period. The Company’s underwriters shall be beneficiaries of the agreement set forth in this Subsection (b). This

 

8


Subsection (b) shall not apply to Shares registered in the public offering under the Securities Act, and the Optionee or a Transferee shall be subject to this Subsection (b) only if the directors and officers of the Company are subject to similar arrangements.

(c) Investment Intent at Grant . The Optionee represents and agrees that the Shares to be acquired upon exercising this option will be acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof.

(d) Investment Intent at Exercise . In the event that the sale of Shares under the Plan is not registered under the Securities Act but an exemption is available which requires an investment representation or other representation, the Optionee shall represent and agree at the time of exercise that the Shares being acquired upon exercising this option are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.

(e) Legends . All certificates evidencing Shares purchased under this Agreement shall bear the following legend:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED OR IN ANY MANNER DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF A WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SHARES (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE SHARES). SUCH AGREEMENT GRANTS TO THE COMPANY CERTAIN RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL UPON AN ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF THE SHARES AND CERTAIN REPURCHASE RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION OF SERVICE WITH THE COMPANY. THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY WILL UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FURNISH A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT TO THE HOLDER HEREOF WITHOUT CHARGE.”

All certificates evidencing Shares purchased under this Agreement in an unregistered transaction shall bear the following legend (and such other restrictive legends as are required or deemed advisable under the provisions of any applicable law):

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

(f) Removal of Legends . If, in the opinion of the Company and its counsel, any legend placed on a stock certificate representing Shares sold under this Agreement is no longer required, the holder of such certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate for a certificate representing the same number of Shares but without such legend.

 

9


(g) Administration . Any determination by the Company and its counsel in connection with any of the matters set forth in this Section 11 shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and all other persons.

SECTION 12. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.

In the event of any transaction described in Section 8(a) of the Plan, the terms of this option (including, without limitation, the number and kind of Shares subject to this option and the Exercise Price) shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 8(a) of the Plan. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or consolidation, this option shall be subject to the agreement of merger or consolidation, as provided in Section 8(b) of the Plan.

SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

(a) Rights as a Shareholder . Neither the Optionee nor the Optionee’s representative shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares subject to this option until the Optionee or the Optionee’s representative becomes entitled to receive such Shares by filing a notice of exercise and paying the Purchase Price pursuant to Sections 4 and 5.

(b) No Retention Rights . Nothing in this option or in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining the Optionee) or of the Optionee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

R EPRESENTATIONS AND A CKNOWLEDGMENTS OF THE O PTIONEE :

 

1. I represent and warrant to the Company that I am acquiring and will hold the Purchased Shares for investment for my account only, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” of the Purchased Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

2. I understand that the Purchased Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom and that the Purchased Shares must be held indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or I obtain an opinion of counsel (in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel) that registration is not required.

 

3. I acknowledge that the Company is under no obligation to register the Purchased Shares.

 

4. I am aware of the adoption of Rule 144 by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, which permits limited public resales of securities acquired in a non-public offering, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. These conditions include (without limitation) that certain current public information about the issuer is available, that the resale occurs only after the holding period required by Rule 144 has been satisfied, that the sale occurs through an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” and that the amount of securities being sold during any three-month period does not exceed specified limitations. I understand that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the Company has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future.

 

5. I will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Purchased Shares in violation of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the rules promulgated thereunder, including Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

 

6. I acknowledge that I have received and had access to such information as I consider necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to invest in the Purchased Shares and that I had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the issuance of the Purchased Shares.

 

7. I am aware that my investment in the Company is a speculative investment that has limited liquidity and is subject to the risk of complete loss. I am able, without impairing my financial condition, to hold the Purchased Shares for an indefinite period and to suffer a complete loss of my investment in the Purchased Shares.

 

8. I acknowledge that the Purchased Shares remain subject to the Company’s right of first refusal and the market stand-off (sometimes referred to as the “lock-up”) and may remain subject to the Company’s right of repurchase at the exercise price, all in accordance with the applicable Notice of Stock Option Grant and Stock Option Agreement.

 

2


9. I acknowledge that I am acquiring the Purchased Shares subject to all other terms of the Notice of Stock Option Grant and Stock Option Agreement.

 

10. I acknowledge that I have received a copy of the Company’s explanation of the forms of ownership available for my Purchased Shares. I acknowledge that the Company has encouraged me to consult my own adviser to determine the form of ownership that is appropriate for me. In the event that I choose to transfer my Purchased Shares to a trust, I agree to sign a Stock Transfer Agreement. In the event that I choose to transfer my Purchased Shares to a trust that does not satisfy the requirements described in the attached explanation (i.e. a trust that is not an eligible revocable trust), I also acknowledge that the transfer will be treated as a “disposition” for tax purposes. As a result, the favorable ISO tax treatment will be unavailable and other unfavorable tax consequences may occur.

 

11. I acknowledge that I have received a copy of the Company’s explanation of the federal income tax consequences of an option exercise and the tax election under section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. In the event that I choose to make a section 83(b) election, I acknowledge that it is my responsibility—and not the Company’s responsibility—to file the election in a timely manner, even if I ask the Company or its agents to make the filing on my behalf. I acknowledge that the Company has encouraged me to consult my own adviser to determine the tax consequences of acquiring the Purchased Shares at this time.

 

12. I agree that the Company does not have a duty to design or administer the 2001 Stock Plan or its other compensation programs in a manner that minimizes my tax liabilities. I will not make any claim against the Company or its Board of Directors, officers or employees related to tax liabilities arising from my options or my other compensation. In particular, I acknowledge that my options are exempt from section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code only if the exercise price per share is at least equal to the fair market value per share of the Company’s Common Stock at the time the option was granted by the Company’s Board of Directors. Since shares of the Company’s Common Stock are not traded on an established securities market, the determination of their fair market value was made by the Company’s Board of Directors or by an independent valuation firm retained by the Company. I acknowledge that there is no guarantee in either case that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with the valuation, and I will not make any claim against the Company or its Board of Directors, officers or employees in the event that the Internal Revenue Service asserts that the valuation was too low.

 

13. I agree to seek the consent of my spouse to the extent required by the Company to enforce the foregoing.

P URPOSE OF T HIS E XPLANATION

The purpose of this explanation is to provide you with a brief summary of the forms of legal ownership available for the shares that you are purchasing (the “Purchased Shares”). For a number of reasons, this explanation is no substitute for personal legal advice:

 

   

To make the explanation short and readable, only the highlights are covered. Some legal rules are not addressed, even though they may be important in particular cases.

F OR THESE REASONS . THE C OMPANY STRONGLY ENCOURAGES YOU TO CONSULT YOUR OWN ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING YOUR OPTION AND BEFORE MAKING A DECISION ABOUT THE FORM OF OWNERSHIP FOR YOUR SHARES .

O VERVIEW

The Notice of Stock Option Exercise offers five forms of taking title to the Purchased Shares:

 

   

In your name only,

 

   

In your name and the name of your spouse as community property,

 

   

In your name and the name of your spouse as community property with the right of survivorship,

 

   

In your name and the name of your spouse as joint tenants with the right of survivorship, or

 

   

In the name of an eligible revocable trust.

Title in the Purchased Shares depends upon (a) your marital status, (b) the marital property laws of your state of residence and (c) any agreement with your spouse altering the existing marital property laws of your state of residence. If you are not married, you generally will take title in your name alone. If you are married, title depends upon the marital property laws of your state of residence. In general, states are classified either as “community property” states or as “common-law property” states. (But individual state law may vary within these classifications.)

C OMMUNITY P ROPERTY AND J OINT T ENANCY

Community property states include California, Texas, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Idaho, Louisiana and Wisconsin. In a community property state, property acquired during marriage by either spouse is presumed to be one-half owned by each spouse. All other property is classified as the separate property of the spouse who acquires the property. While either spouse has equal management and control over the community property and may sell, spend or encumber all community property, neither spouse may gift community property or partition his/her one-half interest without the consent of the other spouse. Upon divorce, all community property is divided equally among the spouses and each spouse is entitled to retain all of his/her separate property. Upon the death of a spouse, one-half of the community property (and all of the decedent spouse’s separate property) will pass to the decedent spouse’s heirs. The other one-half of the community property remains the property of the surviving spouse.

Other states are common-law property states. In a common-law property state, each spouse is generally deemed to own whatever he/she earns or acquires.

A married couple may elect to alter the marital property rules by mutually agreeing to take title to property in other forms. For example, a couple residing in a community property state may generally enter into an agreement and transform what otherwise would be community property into the separate property of the spouse who earns or acquires the property.

In addition, many community property and common-law property states allow married couples to take joint title in property acquired during marriage. For example, California allows a married couple to take title in a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship. In a joint tenancy, each spouse owns a one-half interest in the property as separate property. This means that each spouse may transfer or sell his/her one-half interest in the property while he/she is alive. However, unlike traditional separate property, a spouse cannot transfer his/her one-half interest to heirs at death. Instead, the surviving spouse automatically receives the decedent spouse’s one-half interest and becomes the full owner of the property. (This is called the “right of survivorship.”) Both spouses must consent to taking property in a joint tenancy in lieu of having the community property laws apply.

California also allows a married couple to take title in the shares as community property with the right of survivorship. This means that the shares are treated like community property while both spouses are alive. However, if one spouse dies, then the other spouse automatically receives the decedent spouse’s one-half interest and becomes the full owner of the shares. In other words, the decedent spouse’s will or trust does not control the disposition of the shares.

If you have the Purchased Shares issued in a form other than those described above, then the transfer will be treated as a “disposition” for tax purposes. This means that the effect, for tax purposes, will be the same as selling the Purchased Shares. Please refer to the attached tax summary for additional information.

T RUSTS

A transfer to a trust generally should not be treated as a “disposition” of the Purchased Shares for tax purposes if the trust satisfies each of the following conditions:

 

   

You are the sole grantor of the trust,

 

   

You are the sole trustee, or you and your spouse are the sole co-trustees,

 

   

The trustee or trustees are not required to distribute the income of the trust to any person other than you and/or your spouse while you are alive, and

 

   

The trust permits you to revoke all or part of the trust and to have the trust’s assets returned to you, without the consent of any other person (including your spouse).

If you have the Purchased Shares issued to a trust that does not meet these requirements, then the transfer will be treated as a “disposition” for tax purposes. This means that the effect, for tax purposes, will be the same as selling the Purchased Shares. Please refer to the attached tax summary for additional information.

If you have the Purchased Shares issued to any trust, you will be required to sign a Stock Transfer Agreement in your capacity as trustee. Under the Stock Transfer Agreement, the Purchased Shares remain subject to the Company’s right of first refusal and may remain subject to the Company’s right of repurchase at the exercise price, all in accordance with the applicable Notice of Stock Option Grant and Stock Option Agreement.

E XPLANATION OF F EDERAL I NCOME T AX C ONSEQUENCES

AND S ECTION 83(b) E LECTION

(Current as of February 2009)

P URPOSE OF T HIS E XPLANATION

The purpose of this explanation is to provide you with a brief summary of the tax consequences of exercising your option. For a number of reasons, this explanation is no substitute for personal tax advice:

 

   

To make the explanation short and readable, only the highlights are covered. Some tax rules are not addressed, even though they may be important in particular cases.

 

   

While the summary attempts to deal with the most common situations, your own tax situation may well be different from the norm.

 

   

State and foreign income taxes are not addressed at all, even though they could have a significant impact on your tax planning. Likewise, federal gift and estate taxes and state inheritance taxes are not discussed.

 

   

Tax planning involving incentive stock options is exceedingly complex, in part because of the possible application of the alternative minimum tax.

 

   

The explanation assumes that you are paying the exercise price of your option in cash (or in the form of a full-recourse promissory note with an interest rate that meets IRS requirements). If you are paying the exercise price in the form of stock, you become subject to special rules that are not addressed here.

 

   

This explanation assumes that your option is not subject to section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. However, the Company cannot be certain that section 409A is inapplicable to your option. (Please refer to the last segment of this summary for more information about section 409A.)

 

   

The tax rules change often, and the Company is not responsible for updating this summary. (Please refer to the date at the top of this page.)

F OR THESE REASONS , THE C OMPANY STRONGLY ENCOURAGES YOU TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING YOUR OPTION AND BEFORE MAKING A DECISION ABOUT FILING OR NOT FILING A SECTION 83(b) ELECTION .

L IMIT ON ISO T REATMENT

The Notice of Stock Option Grant indicates whether your option is a nonstatutory stock option (NSO) or an incentive stock option (ISO). The favorable tax treatment for ISOs is limited, regardless of what the Notice of Stock Option Grant indicates. Of the options that become

 

7


exercisable in any calendar year, only options covering the first $100,000 of stock are eligible for ISO treatment. The excess over $100,000 automatically receives NSO treatment. For this purpose, stock is valued at the time of grant. This means that the value is generally equal to the exercise price.

For example, assume that you hold an option to buy 50,000 shares for $4 per share. Assume further that the entire option is exercisable immediately after the date of grant. (It is irrelevant when the underlying stock vests.) Only the first 25,000 shares qualify for ISO treatment. (25,000 times $4 equals $100,000.) The remaining 25,000 shares will be treated as if they had been acquired by exercising an NSO. This is true regardless of when the option is actually exercised; what matters is when it first could have been exercised.

E XERCISE OF NSO TO P URCHASE V ESTED S HARES

The Notice of Stock Option Grant indicates whether your Purchased Shares are already vested. Vested shares are no longer subject to the Company’s right to repurchase them at the exercise price, although they are still subject to the Company’s right of first refusal. If you know that your Purchased Shares are already vested, there is no need to file a section 83(b) election.

If you are exercising an NSO to purchase vested shares, you will be taxed now. You will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of (a) the fair market value of the Purchased Shares on the date of exercise over (b) the exercise price you are paying. If you are an employee or former employee of the Company, this amount is subject to withholding for income and payroll taxes. Your tax basis in the Purchased Shares (to calculate capital gain when you sell the shares) is equal to their fair market value on the date of exercise.

E XERCISE OF NSO TO P URCHASE N ON -V ESTED S HARES

If you are exercising an NSO to purchase non-vested shares, and if you do not file a timely election under section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, then you will not be taxed now. Instead, you will be taxed whenever an increment of Purchased Shares vests—in other words, when the Company no longer has the right to repurchase those shares at the exercise price. The Notice of Stock Option Grant indicates when this occurs, generally over a period of several years. Whenever an increment of Purchased Shares vests, you will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of (a) the fair market value of those Purchased Shares on the date of vesting over (b) the exercise price you are paying for those Purchased Shares. If you are an employee or former employee of the Company, this amount will be subject to withholding for income and payroll taxes. Your tax basis in the Purchased Shares (to calculate capital gain when you sell the shares) will be equal to their fair market value on the date of vesting.

If you are exercising an NSO to purchase non-vested shares, and if you file a timely election under section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, then you will be taxed now. You will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of (a) the fair market value of the Purchased Shares on the date of exercise over (b) the exercise price you are paying. If you are an employee or former employee of the Company, this amount is subject to withholding for income and payroll taxes. Your tax basis in the Purchased Shares (to calculate capital gain when you sell the shares) is equal to their fair market value on the date of exercise. Even if the fair market

 

8


value of the Purchased Shares on the date of exercise equals the exercise price (and thus no tax is payable), the section 83(b) election must be made in order to avoid having any subsequent appreciation taxed as ordinary income at the time of vesting.

Y OU MUST FILE A SECTION 83(b) ELECTION WITH THE I NTERNAL R EVENUE S ERVICE WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER THE N OTICE OF S TOCK O PTION E XERCISE IS SIGNED . The 30-day filing period cannot be extended. If you miss the deadline, you will be taxed as the Purchased Shares vest, based on the value of the shares at that time. (See above.) The form for making the 83(b) election is attached. Additional copies of the form must be filed with the Company and with your tax return for the year in which you make the election.

D ISPOSITION OF NSO S HARES

When you dispose of the Purchased Shares, you will recognize a capital gain equal to the excess of (a) the sale proceeds over (b) your tax basis in the Purchased Shares. As described above, your tax basis in the Purchased Shares is equal to their fair market value on the date of exercise (or on the date of vesting if you exercised an NSO for non-vested shares and did not file a timely election under section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code). If the sale proceeds are less than your tax basis, you will recognize a capital loss. The capital gain or loss will be long-term if you held the Purchased Shares more than 12 months. The holding period normally starts when you exercise your NSO. In general, the maximum marginal federal income tax rate on long-term capital gains is 15% under current law.

E XERCISE OF ISO AND ISO H OLDING P ERIODS

If you are exercising an ISO, you will not be taxed under the regular tax rules until you dispose of the Purchased Shares. 1 (The alternative minimum tax rules are described below.) The tax treatment at the time of disposition depends on how long you hold the shares. You will satisfy the ISO holding periods if you hold the Purchased Shares until the later of the following dates:

 

   

The date two years after the ISO was granted, and

 

   

The date one year after the ISO is exercised.

D ISPOSITION OF ISO S HARES

If you dispose of the Purchased Shares after satisfying both of the ISO holding periods, then you will recognize only a long-term capital gain at the time of disposition. The amount of the capital gain is equal to the excess of (a) the sale proceeds over (b) the exercise price. In general, the maximum marginal federal income tax rate on long-term capital gains is 15% under current law.

 

 

1

Generally, a “disposition” of shares purchased under an ISO encompasses any transfer of legal title, such as a transfer by sale, exchange or gift. It generally does not include a transfer to your spouse, a transfer into joint ownership with right of survivorship (if you remain one of the joint owners), a pledge, a transfer by bequest or inheritance, or certain tax-free exchanges permitted under the Internal Revenue Code. A transfer to a trust is a “disposition” unless the trust is an eligible revocable trust, as described in the attached explanation.

 

9


If you dispose of the Purchased Shares before either or both of the ISO holding periods are met, then you will recognize ordinary income at the time of disposition. The calculation of the ordinary income amount depends on whether the shares are vested at the time of exercise.

 

   

Shares Vested . If the shares are vested at the time of exercise, the amount of ordinary income will be equal to the excess of (a) the fair market value of the Purchased Shares on the date of exercise over (b) the exercise price. But if the disposition is an arm’s length sale to an unrelated party, the amount of ordinary income will not exceed the total gain from the sale. Under current IRS rules, the ordinary income amount will not be subject to withholding for income or payroll taxes. Your tax basis in the Purchased Shares will be equal to their fair market value on the date of exercise. Any gain in excess of your basis will be taxed as a capital gain—either long-term or short-term, depending on how long you held the Purchased Shares after the date of exercise.

 

   

Shares Not Vested . If the Purchased Shares are not vested at the time of exercise, then the amount of ordinary income will be equal to the excess of (a) the fair market value of the Purchased Shares on the date of vesting over (b) the exercise price. But if the disposition is an arm’s length sale to an unrelated party, the amount of ordinary income will not exceed the total gain from the sale. Under current IRS rules, the ordinary income amount will not be subject to withholding for income or payroll taxes. Your tax basis in the Purchased Shares will be equal to their fair market value on the date of vesting. Any gain in excess of your basis will be taxed as a capital gain—either long-term or short-term, depending on how long you held the Purchased Shares after the date of vesting. Please note that it makes no difference under the regular tax rules whether or not you filed a section 83(b) election at the time you exercised your ISO. In either case, your regular taxable income is measured as of the time of vesting rather than the time of exercise.

S UMMARY OF A LTERNATIVE M INIMUM T AX

The alternative minimum tax (AMT) must be paid if it exceeds your regular income tax. The AMT is equal to 26% of your alternative minimum tax base up to $175,000 and 28% of the excess over $175,000. (In the case of married individuals filing separately, the breakpoint is $87,500 rather than $175,000.) Your alternative minimum tax base is equal to your alternative minimum taxable income (AMTI) minus your exemption amount.

 

   

Alternative Minimum Taxable Income . Your AMTI is equal to your regular taxable income, subject to certain adjustments and increased by items of tax preference. Among the many adjustments made in computing AMTI are the following:

 

   

State and local income and property taxes are not allowed as a deduction.

 

   

Miscellaneous itemized deductions are not allowed.

 

   

Medical expenses are not allowed as a deduction until they exceed 10% of adjusted gross income (as opposed to the 7.5% floor that applies to regular income taxes).

 

   

Certain interest deductions are not allowed.

 

   

The standard deduction and personal exemptions are not allowed.

 

10


   

When an ISO is exercised, the spread is treated as if the option were an NSO. (See discussion below.)

 

   

Exemption Amount . Before AMT is calculated, AMTI is reduced by the exemption amount. Under current law, the exemption amount is as follows:

 

Year:

   Joint Returns:      Single Returns:      Separate Returns:  
2009      $70,950         $46,700         $35,475   
After 2009 2      $45,000         $33,750         $22,500   

The exemption amount is phased out by 25 cents for each $1 by which AMTI exceeds the following levels:

 

Joint Returns: $150,000   Single Returns: $112,500   Separate Returns: $75,000

This means, for example, that the entire $70,950 exemption amount disappears for married individuals filing joint returns when AMTI reaches $433,800.

A PPLICATION OF AMT W HEN ISO I S E XERCISED

As noted above, when an ISO is exercised, the spread is treated for AMT purposes as if the option were an NSO. In other words, the spread is included in AMTI at the time of exercise, unless the Purchased Shares are not yet vested at the time of exercise. If the Purchased Shares are not yet vested, the value of the shares minus the exercise price is included in AMTI when the shares vest. However, if you make an election under section 83(b) within 30 days after exercise, then the spread is included in AMTI at the time of exercise. Y OU MUST FILE AN 83(b) ELECTION WITH THE I NTERNAL R EVENUE S ERVICE WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER THE N OTICE OF S TOCK O PTION E XERCISE IS SIGNED . The 30-day filing period cannot be extended.

A special rule applies if you dispose of the Purchased Shares in the same year in which you exercised the ISO. If the amount you realize on the sale is less than the value of the stock at the time of exercise, then the amount includible in AMTI on account of the ISO exercise is limited to the gain realized on the sale. 3

To the extent that your AMT is attributable to the spread on exercising an ISO (and certain other items), you may be able to apply the AMT that you paid as a credit against your income tax liability in future years. But the rules on calculating the available tax credits were amended frequently in recent years and have become extraordinarily complex. On this issue in particular, you must consult your own tax adviser.

 

2 This assumes that Congress does not extend AMT relief, as it has done annually in prior years.
3 This is similar to the rule that applies under the regular tax system in the event of a disqualifying disposition of ISO stock. The amount of ordinary income that must be recognized in that case generally does not exceed the amount of the gain realized in the disposition.

 

11


When Purchased Shares are sold, your basis for purposes of computing the capital gain or loss under the AMT system is increased by the option spread that exists at the time of exercise. Again, an ISO is treated under the AMT system much like an NSO is treated under the regular tax system. But your basis in the ISO shares for purposes of computing gain or loss under the regular tax system is equal to the exercise price; it does not reflect any AMT that you pay on the spread at exercise. Therefore, if you pay AMT in the year of the ISO exercise and regular income tax in the year of selling the Purchased Shares, you could pay tax twice on the same gain (except to the extent that you can use the AMT credit described above).

S ECTION 409A OF THE I NTERNAL R EVENUE C ODE

The preceding summary assumes that section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code does not apply to your option. In general, your option is exempt from section 409A if the exercise price per share is at least equal to the fair market value per share of the Company’s Common Stock at the time the option was granted by the Board of Directors. Since shares of Common Stock are not traded on an established securities market, the determination of their fair market value generally is made by the Board of Directors or by an independent appraisal firm retained by the Company. In either case, there is no guarantee that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with the valuation.

If your option were found to be subject to section 409A, then you would be required to recognize ordinary income whenever shares subject to your option vest (until the option is exercised). The amount of ordinary income would be equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time of vesting minus the exercise price of the shares. This amount would also be subject to a 20% federal tax in addition to the federal income tax at your usual marginal rate for ordinary income.

ARTICLE 1. INTRODUCTION.

The Board adopted the Plan to become effective immediately, although no Awards may be granted prior to the Registration Date. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of stockholder value by (a) encouraging Service Providers to focus on critical long-range corporate objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of Service Providers with exceptional qualifications and (c) linking Service Providers directly to stockholder interests through increased stock ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of Options (which may constitute ISOs or NSOs), SARs, Restricted Shares, Stock Units and Performance Cash Awards.

ARTICLE 2. ADMINISTRATION.

2.1 General . The Plan may be administered by the Board or one or more Committees. Each Committee shall have the authority and be responsible for such functions as have been assigned to it.

2.2 Section 162(m) . To the extent an Award is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m), the Plan will be administered by a Committee of two or more “outside directors” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m).

2.3 Section 16 . To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Exchange Act Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder will be approved by the entire Board or a Committee of two or more “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Exchange Act Rule 16b-3.

2.4 Powers of Administrator . Subject to the terms of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated to the Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority to (a) select the Service Providers who are to receive Awards under the Plan, (b) determine the type, number, vesting requirements and other features and conditions of such Awards, (c) determine whether and to what extent any Performance Goals have been attained, (d) interpret the Plan and Awards granted under the Plan, (e) make, amend and rescind rules relating to the Plan and Awards granted under the Plan, including rules relating to sub-plans established for the purposes of satisfying applicable foreign laws or for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable foreign laws, (f) impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any resales by a Participant of any Common Shares issued pursuant to an Award, including restrictions under an insider trading policy and restrictions as to the use of a specified brokerage firm for such resales, and (g) make all other decisions relating to the operation of the Plan and Awards granted under the Plan.


2.5 Effect of Administrator’s Decisions . The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all Participants and any other holders of Awards.

2.6 Governing Law . The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (except its choice-of-law provisions).

ARTICLE 3. SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANTS.

3.1 Basic Limitation . Common Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. The aggregate number of Common Shares issued under the Plan shall not exceed the sum of (a)                      Common Shares, (b) the number of Common Shares reserved under the Predecessor Plan that are not issued or subject to outstanding awards under the Predecessor Plan on the Registration Date, (c) any Common Shares subject to outstanding options under the Predecessor Plan on the Registration Date that subsequently expire or lapse unexercised and Common Shares issued pursuant to awards granted under the Predecessor Plans that are outstanding on the Registration Date and that are subsequently forfeited to or repurchased by the Company and (d) the additional Common Shares described in Articles 3.2 and 3.3; provided, however, that no more than                      Common Shares, in the aggregate, shall be added to the Plan pursuant to clauses (b) and (c). The number of Common Shares that are subject to Stock Awards outstanding at any time under the Plan may not exceed the number of Common Shares that then remain available for issuance under the Plan. The numerical limitations in this Article 3.1 shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 9.

3.2 Annual Increase in Shares . As of the first business day of each fiscal year of the Company during the term of the Plan, commencing on January 1, 2013, the aggregate number of Common Shares that may be issued under the Plan shall automatically increase by a number equal to the least of (a)          % of the total number of Common Shares outstanding on December 31

of the prior year, (b) subject to adjustment under Article 9,                      Common Shares, or (c) a number of Common Shares determined by the Board.

3.3 Shares Returned to Reserve . To the extent that Options, SARs or Stock Units granted under this Plan or under the Predecessor Plan are forfeited or expire for any other reason before being exercised or settled in full, the Common Shares subject to such Options, SARs or Stock Units shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. If SARs are exercised, then only the number of Common Shares (if any) actually issued to the Participant in settlement of such SARs shall reduce the number available under Article 3.1 and the balance shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. If Stock Units are settled, then only the number of Common Shares (if any) actually issued to the Participant in settlement of such Stock Units shall reduce the number available under Article 3.1 and the balance shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. If Restricted Shares or Common Shares issued upon the exercise of Options or otherwise under the Plan or the Predecessor Plan are reacquired by the Company pursuant to a forfeiture provision, repurchase right or for any other reason prior to the shares having become vested, then such Common Shares shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. Common Shares applied to pay the Exercise Price of Options or to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to any Award shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. To the extent that an Award is settled in cash rather than Common Shares, the cash settlement shall not reduce the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

 

2


3.4 Awards Not Reducing Share Reserve in Article 3.1 . Any dividend equivalents paid or credited under the Plan with respect to Stock Units shall not be applied against the number of Common Shares that may be issued under the Plan, whether or not such dividend equivalents are converted into Stock Units. In addition, Common Shares subject to Substitute Awards granted by the Company shall not reduce the number of Common Shares that may be issued under Article 3.1, nor shall shares subject to Substitute Awards again be available for Awards under the Plan in the event of any forfeiture, expiration or cash settlement of such Substitute Awards.

3.5 Code Section 162(m) and 422 Limits . Subject to adjustment in accordance with Article 9:

(a) The aggregate number of Common Shares subject to Options and SARs that may be granted under this Plan during any calendar year to any one Participant shall not exceed                      , except that the Company may grant to a new Employee in the calendar year in which his or her Service as an Employee first commences Options and/or SARs that cover (in the aggregate) up to an additional                      Common Shares;

A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Optionee’s death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Optionee, then any vested and exercisable Options held by the Optionee may be exercised by his or her estate.

5.6 Modification or Assumption of Options . Within the limitations of the Plan, the Administrator may modify, reprice, extend or assume outstanding Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding options (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new Options for the same or a different number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price or in return for the grant of a different type of Award. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair his or her rights or obligations under such Option.

5.7 Buyout Provisions . The Administrator may at any time (a) offer to buy out for a payment in cash or cash equivalents an Option previously granted or (b) authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out an Option previously granted, in either case at such time and based upon such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish.

5.8 Payment for Option Shares . The entire Exercise Price of Common Shares issued upon exercise of Options shall be payable in cash or cash equivalents at the time when such Common Shares are purchased.

(b) By delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell all or part of the Common Shares being purchased under the Plan and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company;

(c) Subject to such conditions and requirements as the Administrator may impose from time to time, through a net exercise procedure;

(e) Through any other form or method consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules.

ARTICLE 6. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

6.2 Number of Shares . Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of Common Shares to which the SAR pertains, which number shall adjust in accordance with Article 9.

6.3 Exercise Price . Each SAR Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price, which shall in no event be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date of grant.

6.4 Exercisability and Term . Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the SAR is to become vested and exercisable. The SAR Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR; provided that except to the extent necessary to comply with applicable foreign law, the term of a SAR shall not exceed 10 years from the date of grant. A SAR Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting and exercisability upon certain specified events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s Service.

 

5


6.5 Exercise of SARs . Upon exercise of a SAR, the Optionee (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive from the Company (a) Common Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Common Shares and cash, as the Administrator shall determine. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Common Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, not exceed the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender) of the Common Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price. If, on the date when a SAR expires, the Exercise Price is less than the Fair Market Value on such date but any portion of such SAR has not been exercised or surrendered, then such SAR shall automatically be deemed to be exercised as of such date with respect to such portion. A SAR Agreement may also provide for an automatic exercise of the SAR on an earlier date.

6.6 Death of Optionee . After an Optionee’s death, any vested and exercisable SARs held by such Optionee may be exercised by his or her beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each Optionee may designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Optionee’s death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Optionee, then any vested and exercisable SARs held by the Optionee at the time of his or her death may be exercised by his or her estate.

6.7 Modification or Assumption of SARs . Within the limitations of the Plan, the Administrator may modify, reprice, extend or assume outstanding SARs or may accept the cancellation of outstanding SARs (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new SARs for the same or a different number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price or in return for the grant of a different type of Award. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of a SAR shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair his or her rights or obligations under such SAR.

ARTICLE 7. RESTRICTED SHARES.

7.1 Restricted Stock Agreement . Each grant of Restricted Shares under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement between the recipient and the Company. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Stock Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

7.2 Payment for Awards . Restricted Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration as the Administrator may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents, property, cancellation of other equity awards, full-recourse promissory notes, past services and future services, and such other methods of payment as are permitted by applicable law.

7.3 Vesting Conditions . Each Award of Restricted Shares may or may not be subject to vesting and/or other conditions as the Administrator may determine. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Restricted Stock Agreement. Such conditions, at the Administrator’s discretion, may include one or more Performance Goals. A Restricted Stock Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting upon certain specified events.

 

6


7.4 Voting and Dividend Rights . The holders of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other stockholders, unless the Administrator otherwise provides. A Restricted Stock Agreement, however, may require that any cash dividends paid on Restricted Shares (a) be accumulated and paid when such Restricted Shares vest, or (b) be invested in additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the shares subject to the Stock Award with respect to which the dividends were paid. In addition, unless the Administrator provides otherwise, if any dividends or other distributions are paid in Common Shares, such Common Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Restricted Shares with respect to which they were paid.

ARTICLE 8. STOCK UNITS.

8.1 Stock Unit Agreement . Each grant of Stock Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Unit Agreement between the recipient and the Company. Such Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Stock Unit Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

8.2 Payment for Awards . To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Stock Units, no cash consideration shall be required of the Award recipients.

8.3 Vesting Conditions . Each Award of Stock Units may or may not be subject to vesting, as determined by the Administrator. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Unit Agreement. Such conditions, at the Administrator’s discretion, may include one or more Performance Goals. A Stock Unit Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting upon certain specified events.

8.4 Voting and Dividend Rights . The holders of Stock Units shall have no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, Stock Units awarded under the Plan may, at the Administrator’s discretion, provide for a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Common Share while the Stock Unit is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Stock Units. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Common Shares, or in a combination of both. Prior to distribution, any dividend equivalents shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Stock Units to which they attach.

8.5 Form and Time of Settlement of Stock Units . Settlement of vested Stock Units may be made in the form of (a) cash, (b) Common Shares or (c) any combination of both, as determined by the Administrator. The actual number of Stock Units eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the number included in the original Award, based on predetermined performance factors, including Performance Goals. Methods of converting Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Common Shares over a series of trading days. Vested Stock Units shall be settled in such manner and at such time(s) as specified in the Stock Unit Agreement. Until an Award of Stock Units is settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 9.

 

7


8.6 Death of Recipient . Any Stock Units that become payable after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to the recipient’s beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each recipient of Stock Units under the Plan may designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Award recipient’s death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Award recipient, then any Stock Units that becomes payable after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to the recipient’s estate.

8.7 Modification or Assumption of Stock Units . Within the limitations of the Plan, the Administrator may modify or assume outstanding stock units or may accept the cancellation of outstanding stock units (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new Stock Units for the same or a different number of shares or in return for the grant of a different type of Award. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of a Stock Unit shall, without the consent of the Participant, impair his or her rights or obligations under such Stock Unit.

8.8 Creditors’ Rights . A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Unit Agreement.

ARTICLE 9. ADJUSTMENTS; DISSOLUTIONS AND LIQUIDATIONS; CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS.

9.1 Adjustments . In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in Common Shares or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Common Shares, corresponding proportionate adjustments shall automatically be made in each of the following:

(a) The number and kind of shares available for issuance under Article 3, including the numerical share limits in Articles 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5;

(b) The number and kind of shares covered by each outstanding Option, SAR and Stock Unit; and

(c) The Exercise Price applicable to each outstanding Option and SAR, and the repurchase price, if any, applicable to Restricted Shares.

In the event of a declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than Common Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Common Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off or a similar occurrence, the Administrator shall make such adjustments as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate in one or more of the foregoing. Any adjustment in the number of and kind of shares subject to an Award under this Article 9.1 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share, although the Administrator in its sole discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share. Except as provided in this Article 9, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any issuance by the Company of stock of any class or securities convertible

 

8


into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.

9.2 Dissolution or Liquidation . To the extent not previously exercised or settled, Options, SARs and Stock Units shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

9.3 Corporate Transactions . In the event that the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, or a Change in Control (other than one described in Article 14.6(d)), all Common Shares acquired under the Plan and all Awards outstanding on the effective date of the transaction shall be treated in the manner described in the definitive transaction agreement (or, in the event the transaction does not entail a definitive agreement to which the Company is party, in the manner determined by the Administrator, with such determination having final and binding effect on all parties), which agreement or determination need not treat all Awards (or portions thereof) in an identical manner. Unless an Award Agreement provides otherwise, the treatment specified in the transaction agreement or by the Administrator shall include (without limitation) one or more of the following with respect to each outstanding Award:

(a) The continuation of such outstanding Awards by the Company (if the Company is the surviving entity);

(b) The assumption of such outstanding Awards by the surviving entity or its parent, provided that the assumption of an Option or a SAR shall comply with applicable tax requirements;

(c) The substitution by the surviving entity or its parent of an equivalent award for outstanding Awards (including, but not limited to, an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the holders of Common Shares in the transaction), provided that the substitution of an Option or a SAR shall comply with applicable tax requirements;

(d) The cancellation of outstanding Options and SARs without payment of any consideration. The Optionees shall be able to exercise such Options and SARs (to the extent the Options and SARs are vested or become vested as of the effective date of the transaction) during a period of not less than five full business days preceding the closing date of the transaction, unless (i) a shorter period is required to permit a timely closing of the transaction and (ii) such shorter period still offers the Optionees a reasonable opportunity to exercise such Options and SARs. Any exercise of such Options and SARs during such period may be contingent on the closing of the transaction;

(e) Full exercisability of outstanding Options and SARs and full vesting of the Common Shares subject to Options and SARs, followed by cancellation of such Options and SARs. The full exercisability of such Options and SARs and full vesting of such Common Shares may be contingent on the closing of the transaction. The Optionees shall be able to exercise such Options and SARs during a period of not less than five full business days preceding the closing date of such merger or consolidation, unless (i) a shorter period is required to permit a timely closing of such merger or consolidation and (ii) such shorter period still offers

 

9


the Optionees a reasonable opportunity to exercise such Options and SARs. Any exercise of such Options and SARs during such period may be contingent on the closing of such merger or consolidation;

(f) The cancellation of the Options and SARs and a payment to the Optionee with respect to each Share subject to the portion of the Award that is vested as of the transaction date equal to the excess of (A) the value, as determined by the Administrator in its absolute discretion, of the property (including cash) received by the holder of a Common Share as a result of the transaction, over (B) the per-share Exercise Price of the Option or SAR (such excess, the “ Spread ”). Such payment shall be made in the form of cash, cash equivalents, or securities of the surviving entity or its parent having a value equal to the Spread. In addition, any escrow, holdback, earn-out or similar provisions in the transaction agreement may apply to such payment to the same extent and in the same manner as such provisions apply to the holders of Common Shares, but only to the extent the application of such provisions does not adversely affect the status of the Option or SAR as exempt from Code Section 409A. If the Spread applicable to an Option or SAR is zero or a negative number, then the Option or SAR may be cancelled without making a payment to the Optionee;

(g) The cancellation of outstanding Stock Units and a payment to the holder thereof with respect to each Common Share subject to the Stock Unit equal to the value, as determined by the Administrator in its absolute discretion, of the property (including cash) received by the holder of a Common Share as a result of the transaction (the “ Transaction Value ”). Such payment shall be made in the form of cash, cash equivalents, or securities of the surviving entity or its parent having a value equal to the Transaction Value. In addition, such payment may be subject to vesting based on the Participant’s continuing Service, provided that the vesting schedule shall not be less favorable to the Participant than the schedule under which such Stock Units would have vested, and if required under applicable tax rules, such payment may be deferred until the settlement date specified in the Stock Unit Agreement. In addition, any escrow, holdback, earn-out or similar provisions in the transaction agreement may apply to such payment to the same extent and in the same manner as such provisions apply to the holders of Common Shares. In the event that a Stock Unit is subject to Code Section 409A, the payment described in this clause (g) shall be made on the settlement date specified in the applicable Stock Unit Agreement, provided that settlement may be accelerated in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4); or

(h) The assignment of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company in respect of an Award of Restricted Shares to the surviving entity or its parent, with corresponding proportionate adjustments made to the price per share to be paid upon exercise of any such reacquisition or repurchase rights.

For avoidance of doubt, the Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time an Award is granted or at any time while the Award remains outstanding, to provide for the acceleration of vesting upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, whether or not the Award is to be assumed or replaced in the transaction, or in connection with a termination of the Participant’s Service following a transaction.

 

10


Any action taken under this Article 9.3 shall either preserve an Award’s status as exempt from Code Section 409A or comply with Code Section 409A.

ARTICLE 10. OTHER AWARDS.

10.1 Performance Cash Awards . A Performance Cash Award is a cash award that may be granted subject to the attainment of specified Performance Goals during a Performance Period. A Performance Cash Award may also require the completion of a specified period of continuous Service. The length of the Performance Period, the Performance Goals to be attained during the Performance Period, and the degree to which the Performance Goals have been attained shall be determined conclusively by the Administrator. Each Performance Cash Award shall be set forth in a written agreement or in a resolution duly adopted by the Administrator which shall contain provisions determined by the Administrator and not inconsistent with the Plan. The terms of various Performance Cash Awards need not be identical.

10.2 Awards Under Other Plans . The Company may grant awards under other plans or programs. Such awards may be settled in the form of Common Shares issued under this Plan. Such Common Shares shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Common Shares issued in settlement of Stock Units and shall, when issued, reduce the number of Common Shares available under Article 3.

ARTICLE 11. LIMITATION ON RIGHTS.

11.1 Retention Rights . Neither the Plan nor any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain a Service Provider. The Company and its Parents, Subsidiaries and Affiliates reserve the right to terminate the Service of any Service Provider at any time, with or without cause, subject to applicable laws, the Company’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws and a written employment agreement (if any).

11.2 Stockholders’ Rights . Except as set forth in Article 7.4 or 8.4 above, a Participant shall have no dividend rights, voting rights or other rights as a stockholder with respect to any Common Shares covered by his or her Award prior to the time when a stock certificate for such Common Shares is issued or, if applicable, the time when he or she becomes entitled to receive such Common Shares by filing any required notice of exercise and paying any required Exercise Price. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to such time, except as expressly provided in the Plan.

11.3 Regulatory Requirements . Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, the obligation of the Company to issue Common Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approval by any regulatory body as may be required. The Company reserves the right to restrict, in whole or in part, the delivery of Common Shares pursuant to any Award prior to the satisfaction of all legal requirements relating to the issuance of such Common Shares, to their registration, qualification or listing or to an exemption from registration, qualification or listing. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed necessary by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Common Shares as to which such requisite authority will not have been obtained.

 

11


11.4 Transferability of Awards . The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit transfer of an Award in a manner consistent with applicable law. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, Awards shall be transferable by a Participant only by (a) beneficiary designation, (b) a will or (c) the laws of descent and distribution. An ISO may only be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee or by the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative.

11.5 Other Conditions and Restrictions on Common Shares . Any Common Shares issued under the Plan shall be subject to such forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal, other transfer restrictions and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine. Such conditions and restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement and shall apply in addition to any restrictions that may apply to holders of Common Shares generally. In addition, Common Shares issued under the Plan shall be subject to such conditions and restrictions imposed either by applicable law or by Company policy, as adopted from time to time, designed to ensure compliance with applicable law or laws with which the Company determines in its sole discretion to comply including in order to maintain any statutory, regulatory or tax advantage.

ARTICLE 12. TAXES.

12.1 General . As a condition to an Award under the Plan, a Participant or his or her successor shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with any Award granted under the Plan. The Company shall not be required to issue any Common Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

12.2 Share Withholding . To the extent that applicable law subjects a Participant to tax withholding obligations, the Administrator may permit such Participant to satisfy all or part of such obligations by having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Common Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by surrendering all or a portion of any Common Shares that he or she previously acquired. Such Common Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when they are withheld or surrendered. Any payment of taxes by assigning Common Shares to the Company may be subject to restrictions including any restrictions required by SEC, accounting or other rules.

12.3 Section 162(m) Matters The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine whether an Award is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m). The Administrator may grant Awards that are based on Performance Goals but that are not intended to qualify as performance-based compensation. With respect to any Award that is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation, the Administrator shall designate the Performance Goal(s) applicable to, and the formula for calculating the amount payable under, an Award within 90 days following commencement of the applicable Performance Period (or such earlier time as may be required under Code Section

 

12


162(m)), and in any event at a time when achievement of the applicable Performance Goal(s) remains substantially uncertain. Prior to the payment of any Award that is intended to constitute performance-based compensation, the Administrator shall certify in writing whether and the extent to which the Performance Goal(s) were achieved for such Performance Period. The Administrator shall have the right to reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable under an Award that is intended to constitute performance-based compensation.

12.4 Section 409A Matters . Except as otherwise expressly set forth in an Award Agreement, it is intended that Awards granted under the Plan either be exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A. To the extent an Award is subject to Code Section 409A (a “ 409A Award ”), the terms of the Plan, the Award and any written agreement governing the Award shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A so that the Award is not subject to additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A, unless the Administrator expressly provides otherwise. A 409A Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Administrator from time to time in order for it to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A. In this regard, if any amount under a 409A Award is payable upon a “separation from service” to an individual who is considered a “specified employee” (as each term is defined under Code Section 409A), then no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the Participant’s separation from service or (ii) the Participant’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to Code Section 409A(a)(1).

12.5 Limitation on Liability . Neither the Company nor any person serving as Administrator shall have any liability to a Participant in the event an Award held by the Participant fails to achieve its intended characterization under applicable tax law.

ARTICLE 13. FUTURE OF THE PLAN.

13.1 Term of the Plan . The Plan, as set forth herein, shall become effective on the Registration Date. The Plan shall remain in effect until the earlier of (a) the date when the Plan is terminated under Article 13.2 or (b) the 10th anniversary of the date when the Board adopted the Plan.

13.2 Amendment or Termination . The Board may, at any time and for any reason, amend or terminate the Plan. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the termination thereof. The termination of the Plan, or any amendment thereof, shall not affect any Award previously granted under the Plan.

13.3 Stockholder Approval . An amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders only to the extent required by applicable laws, regulations or rules.

Grant of Option

Subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, this Stock Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) and the Plan, the Company has granted you an option to purchase up to the total number of shares specified in the Notice of Stock Option Grant at the exercise price indicated in the Notice of Stock Option Grant.

 

  All capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement, the Notice of Stock Option Grant or the Plan.

 

Tax Treatment

This option is intended to be an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code or a nonstatutory stock option, as provided in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. However, even if this option is designated as an incentive stock option in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, it shall be deemed to be a nonstatutory stock option to the extent it does not qualify as an incentive stock option under federal tax law, including under the $100,000 annual limitation under Section 422(d) of the Code.

 

Vesting

This option vests and becomes exercisable in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant.

 

  In no event will this option vest or become exercisable for additional shares after your Service has terminated for any reason.

 

[Exercise Restriction for Non-Exempt Employees

Notwithstanding anything in the Notice of Stock Option Grant or this Agreement to the contrary, in the event you are an employee eligible for overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended (a “Non-Exempt Employee”), you may not exercise your option until you have completed at least six months of continuous Service measured from the Date of Grant specified in the Notice of Stock Option Grant other than in accordance with Article 9 of the Plan.]

 

Term

This option expires in any event at the close of business at Company headquarters on the day before the 10 th anniversary of the Date of Grant, as shown in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. (This option will expire earlier if your Service terminates, as described below, and this option may be terminated earlier as provided in Article 9 of the Plan.)

 

Termination of Service

If your Service terminates for any reason, this option will expire immediately to the extent the option is unvested as of your termination date and does not vest as a result of your termination of Service. The Company determines when your Service terminates for all purposes of this option.


Regular Termination

If your Service terminates for any reason except death or total and permanent disability, then this option, to the extent vested as of your termination date, will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date three months after your termination date.

 

  [Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a Non-Exempt Employee and your Service terminates within six months after the Date of Grant, then this option, to the extent vested as of your termination date, will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the later of (a) the date seven months after the Date of Grant or (b) the date three months after your termination date.]

 

Death

If you die before your Service terminates, then this option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date 12 months after the date of death.

 

Disability

If your Service terminates because of your total and permanent disability, then this option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date 12 months after your termination date.

 

  For all purposes under this Agreement, “total and permanent disability” means that you are unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted, or can be expected to last, for a continuous period of not less than one year.

 

Leaves of Absence and Part-Time Work

For purposes of this option, your Service does not terminate when you go on a military leave, a sick leave or another bona fide leave of absence, if the leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service is required by applicable law, the Company’s leave of absence policy, or the terms of your leave. However, your Service terminates when the approved leave ends, unless you immediately return to active work; provided, however, if reemployment upon expiration of the approved leave is not guaranteed by statute or contract, then any incentive stock option shall cease to be treated as such and shall instead be treated as a nonstatutory stock option beginning six months following the first day of such leave.

 

  If you go on a leave of absence, then the vesting schedule specified in the Notice of Stock Option Grant may be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s leave of absence policy or the terms of your leave. If you commence working on a part-time basis, the Company may adjust the vesting schedule so that the rate of vesting is commensurate with your reduced work schedule.

 

Notice Concerning Incentive Stock Option Treatment

Even if this option is designated as an incentive stock option in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, it ceases to qualify for favorable tax treatment as

 

2


  an incentive stock option to the extent that it is exercised: (a) more than three months after the date when you cease to be an Employee for any reason other than death or permanent and total disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), (b) more than 12 months after the date when you cease to be an Employee by reason of permanent and total disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) or (c) more than three months after the date when you have been on a leave of absence for 90 days, unless your reemployment rights following such leave were guaranteed by statute or by contract.

 

Restrictions on Exercise

The Company will not permit you to exercise this option if the issuance of shares at that time would violate any law or regulation.

 

Notice of Exercise

When you wish to exercise this option, you must notify the Company by filing the proper “Notice of Exercise” form at the address given on the form or, if the Company has designated a brokerage firm to administer the Plan, you must notify such brokerage firm in the manner such brokerage firm requires. Your notice must specify how many shares you wish to purchase. The notice will be effective when the Company receives it.

 

  However, if you wish to exercise this option by executing a same-day sale (as described below), you must follow the instructions of the Company and the broker who will execute the sale.

 

  If someone else wants to exercise this option after your death, that person must prove to the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so.

 

  You may only exercise your option for whole shares.

 

Form of Payment

When you submit your notice of exercise, you must include payment of the option exercise price for the shares that you are purchasing. To the extent permitted by applicable law, payment may be made in one (or a combination of two or more) of the following forms:

 

   

By delivering to the Company your personal check, a cashier’s check or a money order, or arranging for a wire transfer.

 

   

By delivering to the Company certificates for shares of Company stock that you own, along with any forms needed to effect a transfer of those shares to the Company. The value of the shares, determined as of the effective date of the option exercise, will be applied to the option exercise price. Instead of surrendering shares of Company stock, you may attest to the ownership of those shares on a form provided by the Company and have the same number of shares subtracted from the option shares issued to you.

 

   

By giving to a securities broker approved by the Company irrevocable directions to sell all or part of your option shares and to deliver to the

 

3


  Company, from the sale proceeds, an amount sufficient to pay the option exercise price and any withholding taxes. (The balance of the sale proceeds, if any, will be delivered to you.) The directions must be given in accordance with the instructions of the Company and the broker. This exercise method is sometimes called a “same-day sale.”

 

Withholding Taxes

You will not be allowed to exercise this option unless you make arrangements acceptable to the Company to pay any withholding taxes that may be due as a result of the option exercise. These arrangements include payment in cash. With the Company’s consent, these arrangements may also include (a) payment from the proceeds of the sale of shares through a Company-approved broker, (b) withholding shares of Company stock that otherwise would be issued to you when you exercise this option with a fair market value no greater than the minimum amount required to be withheld by law, (c) surrendering shares that you previously acquired with a fair market value no greater than the minimum amount required to be withheld by law, or (d) withholding cash from other compensation. The fair market value of withheld or surrendered shares, determined as of the date when taxes otherwise would have been withheld in cash, will be applied to the withholding taxes.

 

Restrictions on Resale

You agree not to sell any option shares at a time when applicable laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This restriction will apply as long as your Service continues and for such period of time after the termination of your Service as the Company may specify.

 

Transfer of Option

Prior to your death, only you may exercise this option. You cannot transfer or assign this option. For instance, you may not sell this option or use it as security for a loan. If you attempt to do any of these things, this option will immediately become invalid. You may, however, dispose of this option in your will or by means of a written beneficiary designation; provided, however, that your beneficiary or a representative of your estate acknowledges and agrees in writing in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan as if such beneficiary of the estate were you.

 

  Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to honor a notice of exercise from your former spouse, nor is the Company obligated to recognize your former spouse’s interest in your option in any other way.

 

Retention Rights

Your option or this Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company, a Parent, Subsidiary, or an Affiliate in any capacity. The Company and its Parents, Subsidiaries, and Affiliates reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time, with or without cause.

 

4


Stockholder Rights

You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a stockholder of the Company until you have exercised this option by giving the required notice to the Company, paying the exercise price, and satisfying any applicable withholding taxes. No adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before you exercise this option, except as described in the Plan.

 

Recoupment Policy

This option, and the shares acquired upon exercise of this option, shall be subject to any Company recoupment policy in effect from time to time.

 

Adjustments

In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Company stock, the number of shares covered by this option and the exercise price per share will be adjusted pursuant to the Plan.

 

Effect of Significant Corporate Transactions

If the Company is a party to a merger, consolidation, or certain change in control transactions, then this option will be subject to the applicable provisions of Article 9 of the Plan.

 

Applicable Law

This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to its choice-of-law provisions).

 

The Plan and Other Agreements

The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference.

 

  This Plan, this Agreement and the Notice of Stock Option Grant constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this option.

This AMENDED AND RESTATED RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND CO-SALE AGREEMENT is entered into as of May 2, 2012 by and among KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and David Pritchard, Geoffrey Yarranton, Dan Shochat, 5AM Ventures LLC, and 5AM Co-Investors LLC (each a “ Key Common Holder ” and together the “ Key Common Holders ”) and the parties listed on Exhibit A (the “ Purchasers ”) who are holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (the “ Series A Stock ”), the Company’s Series B-1 Preferred Stock (the “ Series B-1 Stock ”), the Company’s Series B-2 Preferred Stock (the “ Series B-2 Stock ”), the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock (the “ Series C Stock ”), the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock (the “ Series D Stock ”) and/or the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock (the “ Series E Stock ” and, together with the Series A Stock, the Series B-1 Stock the Series B-2 Stock, the Series C Stock and the Series D Stock, the “ Preferred Shares ”).

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, the Company and certain of the Purchasers (the “ New Purchasers ”) are parties to the Series E Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the “ Series E Agreement ”), pursuant to which the New Purchasers are purchasing shares of the Company’s Series E Stock;

WHEREAS, each Key Common Holder is the beneficial owner of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company set forth opposite his or her name on Exhibit B hereto;

WHEREAS, the Company, each Key Common Holder and certain of the Purchasers (the “ Existing Purchasers ”) are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement, dated as of September 22, 2008 (the “ Prior Agreement ”); and

WHEREAS, the Company, each Key Common Holder and the Existing Purchasers wish to provide further inducement to the New Purchasers to purchase Series E Stock by amending and restating the Prior Agreement to include the New Purchasers and to amend and restate the rights and obligations set forth therein, in each case as set forth herein.

1.        Restrictions on Transfer of Shares by Key Common Holders . Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Key Common Holder will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber or dispose of in any way, all or any part of or any interest in the Equity Securities (as defined below) now or hereafter owned or held by such Key Common Holder. Any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other encumbrance or

disposition of Equity Securities (as defined below) not made in conformance with this Agreement shall be null and void, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company and shall not be recognized by the Company.

2.       Definitions .

(a)       Equity Securities . For purposes of this Agreement, the term “ Equity Securities ” shall mean any securities having voting rights in the election of the Board of Directors of the Company not contingent upon default, or any securities evidencing an ownership interest in the Company, or any securities convertible into or exercisable for any shares of the foregoing, or any agreement or commitment to issue any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to 5AM Ventures LLC and 5AM Co-Investors LLC, the definition of Equity Securities shall only include an aggregate of 564,915 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits and the like effected after the date of this Agreement).

(b)       Holders . For purposes of this Agreement, the term “ Holders ” shall mean the Purchasers or persons who have acquired shares from any of such persons or their transferees or assignees in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

3.       Agreements Among the Company, the Purchasers and the Key Common Holders .

3.1     Rights of Refusal .

(a)       Contingent Offer Notice and Firm Offer Notice . Subject to the Company’s right of first refusal, if at any time any Key Common Holder proposes to transfer at least 20,000 shares of Equity Securities to one or more third parties pursuant to an understanding with such third parties (a “ Transfer ”), then the Key Common Holder shall give the Company and each Holder written notice of the Key Common Holder’s intention to make the Transfer (the “ Contingent Offer Notice ”), which Contingent Offer Notice shall include (i) a description of the Equity Securities to be transferred (“ Total Offered Shares ”), (ii) the identity of the prospective transferee(s) and (iii) the consideration and the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed Transfer is to be made. The Contingent Offer Notice shall certify that the Key Common Holder has received a firm offer from the prospective transferee(s) and in good faith believes a binding agreement for the Transfer is obtainable on the terms set forth in the Contingent Offer Notice. The Contingent Offer Notice shall also include a copy of any written proposal, term sheet or letter of intent or other agreement relating to the proposed Transfer. If the Company’s right of first refusal period has lapsed (thirty (30) days after receipt of the Contingent Offer Notice by the Company) and not all the Total Offered Shares were purchased by the Company, the Key Common Holder shall immediately give each Holder written notice of the remaining shares (“ Firm Offer Notice ”), which Firm Offer Notice shall include (i) all the required items from the Contingent Offer Notice and (ii) the number of Total Offered Shares that were not purchased by the Company (“ Offered Shares ”).

(b)       Holders’ Option . The Holders shall have an option for a period of twenty (20) days from the Holder’s receipt of the Firm Offer Notice from the Key Common

Holder set forth in Section 3.1(a) to elect to purchase their respective pro rata shares of the Offered Shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Firm Offer Notice. Each Holder may exercise such purchase option and, thereby, purchase all or any portion of his, her or its pro rata share (with any re-allotments as provided below) of the Offered Shares, by notifying the Key Common Holder and the Company in writing, before expiration of the twenty (20) day period as to the number of such shares which he, she or it wishes to purchase (including any re-allotment). Each Holder’s pro rata share of the Offered Shares shall be a fraction of the Offered Shares, of which the number of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares) owned by such Holder on the date of the Firm Offer Notice shall be the numerator and the total number of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares) held by all Holders on the date of the Firm Offer Notice shall be the denominator. Each Holder electing to exercise the right to purchase its full pro rata shares of the Offered Shares (a “ Participating Holder ”) shall have a right of reallotment such that, if any other Holder fails to exercise the right to purchase its full pro rata share of the Offered Shares, each such Participating Holder may exercise an additional right to purchase all or any portion of his, her or its pro rata share of the Offered Shares not previously purchased such that each Participating Holder will have a right to take up to 100% of any such remaining Offered Shares, regardless of whether his, her or its pro rata ownership in the Company is modified as a result of his, her or its exercise of this right of first refusal. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, each Participating Holder’s pro rata share shall be a fraction of the Offered Shares previously not purchased, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares) held by such Participating Holder on the date of the Firm Offer Notice and the denominator which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares) held by all Participating Holders on the date of the Firm Offer Notice. Each Holder shall be entitled to apportion Offered Shares to be purchased among its partners and affiliates, provided that such Holder notifies the Key Common Holder of such allocation. If a Holder gives the Key Common Holder notice that it desires to purchase its pro rata share of the Offered Shares and, as the case may be, its reallotment, then payment for the Offered Shares shall be by check or wire transfer, against delivery of the Offered Shares to be purchased at a place agreed upon between the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor, which shall be no later than forty-five (45) days after the Holder’s receipt of the Firm Offer Notice, unless the Firm Offer Notice contemplated a later closing with the prospective third party transferee(s) or unless the value of the purchase price has not yet been established pursuant to Section 3.1(c).

(c)       Valuation of Property . Should the purchase price specified in the Contingent Offer Notice or Firm Offer Notice be payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Company (or the Holders) shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in amount to the value of such property. If the Key Common Holder and the Holders cannot agree on such cash value within ten (10) days after the Holders’ receipt of the Contingent Offer Notice, the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of recognized standing selected by the Key Common Holder and the Holders or, if they cannot agree on an appraiser within twenty (20) days after the Holder’s receipt of the Contingent Offer Notice, each shall select an appraiser of recognized standing and the two appraisers shall designate a third appraiser of recognized standing, whose appraisal shall be determinative of such value. The cost

[***] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.


of such appraisal shall be shared equally by the Key Common Holder and the Holders, with the half of the cost borne by the Holders borne pro rata by each based on the number of shares such parties were interested in purchasing pursuant to this Section 3. If the time for the closing of the Company’s purchase or the Holders’ purchase has expired but for the determination of the value of the purchase price offered by the prospective transferee(s), then such closing shall be held on or prior to the fifth business day after such valuation shall have been made pursuant to this subsection.

3.2       Right of Co-Sale .

  (a)      To the extent that (i) the Company has not exercised its right to purchase the offered shares pursuant to any right of first refusal held by the Company and (ii) the Holders have not exercised their rights to purchase the Offered Shares pursuant to Section 3.1, then each Holder (a “ Selling Holder ” for purposes of this subsection 3.2) which notifies the Key Common Holder in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Firm Offer Notice referred to in Section 3.1(a), shall have the right to participate in such sale of Equity Securities on the same terms and conditions as specified in the Firm Offer Notice. Such Selling Holder’s notice to the Key Common Holder shall indicate the number of shares of Equity Securities the Selling Holder wishes to sell under his, her or its right to participate. To the extent one or more of the Holders exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of shares of Equity Securities that the Key Common Holder may sell in the Transfer shall be correspondingly reduced.

  (b)      Each Selling Holder may sell all or any part of that number of shares of Equity Securities equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares of Equity Securities covered by the Firm Offer Notice by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares) owned by the Selling Holder on the date of the Firm Offer Notice and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares) owned by the Key Common Holder and all of the Selling Holders on the date of the Firm Offer Notice.

  (c)      Each Selling Holder shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Key Common Holder for transfer to the prospective purchaser one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent:

    (i)       the type and number of shares of Equity Securities which such Selling Holder elects to sell; or

    (ii)      that number of shares of Equity Securities which are at such time convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock which such Selling Holder elects to sell; provided, however, that if the prospective third-party purchaser objects to the delivery of Equity Securities in lieu of Common Stock, such Selling Holder shall convert such Equity Securities into Common Stock and deliver Common Stock as provided in this Section 3.2. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser and contingent on such transfer.

 

4

[***] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.


  (d)      The stock certificate or certificates that the Selling Holder delivers to the Key Common Holder pursuant to Section 3.2(c) shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Equity Securities pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Firm Offer Notice, and the Key Common Holder shall concurrently therewith remit to such Selling Holder that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Selling Holder is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase shares or other securities from a Selling Holder exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder, the Key Common Holder shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Equity Securities unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Key Common Holder shall purchase such shares or other securities from such Selling Holder for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer described in the Firm Offer Notice.

3.3       Non-Exercise of Rights . To the extent that the Company has not exercised its right to purchase the offered shares pursuant to any right of first refusal held by the Company and the Holders have not exercised their rights to purchase the Offered Shares within the time periods specified in Section 3.1 and the Holders have not exercised their rights to participate in the sale of the Offered Shares within the time periods specified in Section 3.2, the Key Common Holder shall have a period of thirty (30) days from the expiration of such rights in which to sell the Offered Shares upon terms and conditions (including the purchase price) no more favorable than those specified in the Firm Offer Notice to the third-party transferee(s) identified in the Firm Offer Notice. The third-party transferee(s) shall acquire the Offered Shares free and clear of subsequent rights of first refusal and co-sale rights under this Agreement. In the event the Key Common Holder does not consummate the sale or disposition of the Offered Shares within the thirty (30) day period from the expiration of these rights, the Holders’ first refusal rights and co-sale rights shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the Offered Shares by the Key Common Holder until such right lapses in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Furthermore, the exercise or non-exercise of the rights of the Holders under this Section 3 to purchase Equity Securities from the Key Common Holder or participate in sales of Equity Securities by the Key Common Holder shall not adversely affect their rights to make subsequent purchases from the Key Common Holder of Equity Securities or subsequently participate in sales of Equity Securities by the Key Common Holder.

3.4       Limitations to Rights of Refusal and Co-Sale . Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1 and 3.2 of this Agreement, the Key Common Holder may sell or otherwise assign, with or without consideration, Equity Securities to any spouse or member of the Key Common Holder’s immediate family, or to a custodian, trustee (including a trustee of a voting trust), executor, or other fiduciary for the account of the Key Common Holder’s spouse or members of the Key Common Holder’s immediate family, or to a trust for the Key Common Holder’s own self, or a charitable remainder trust, provided that each such transferee or assignee, prior to the completion of the sale, transfer, or assignment shall have executed documents assuming the obligations of the Key Common Holder under this Agreement with respect to the transferred securities. In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1 and 3.2 of this Agreement, 5AM Ventures LLC and 5AM Co-Investors LLC may sell or otherwise assign, with or without consideration, Equity Securities to (i) Aravis Venture, L.P., (ii) The Bay City Capital Fund, L.P. and (iii) Versant Venture Capital, L.P. (each a “ Member ”), so long as prior to the completion of the sale, transfer, or assignment (a) such Member is a stockholder of the Company

 

5

and (b) such Member shall have executed documents assuming the obligations of a Key Common Holder under this Agreement with respect to the transferred Equity Securities.

3.5       Prohibited Transfers .

  (a)      In the event the Key Common Holder should sell any Equity Securities in contravention of the co-sale rights of the Holders under Section 3.2 (a “ Prohibited Transfer ”), the Holders, in addition to such other remedies as may be available at law, in equity or hereunder, shall have the put option provided below, and the Key Common Holder shall be bound by the applicable provisions of such option.

  (b)      In the event of a Prohibited Transfer, each Holder shall have the right to sell to the Key Common Holder the type and number of shares of Equity Securities equal to the number of shares each Holder would have been entitled to transfer to the third-party transferee(s) under Section 3.2 hereof had the Prohibited Transfer been effected pursuant to and in compliance with the terms hereof. Such sale shall be made on the following terms and conditions:

    (i)       The price per share at which the shares are to be sold to the Key Common Holder shall be equal to the price per share paid by the third-party transferee(s) to the Key Common Holder in the Prohibited Transfer. The Key Common Holder shall also reimburse each Holder for any and all fees and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred pursuant to the exercise or the attempted exercise of the Holder’s rights under Section 3.

    (ii)      Within ninety (90) days after the later of the dates on which the Holder (A) receives notice of the Prohibited Transfer or (B) otherwise becomes aware of the Prohibited Transfer, each Holder shall, if exercising the option created hereby, deliver to the Key Common Holder the certificate or certificates representing shares to be sold, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer.

    (iii)     The Key Common Holder shall, upon receipt of the certificate or certificates for the shares to be sold by a Holder, pursuant to this Section 3.5, pay the aggregate purchase price therefor and the amount of reimbursable fees and expenses, as specified in subparagraph 3.5(b)(i), in cash or by other means acceptable to the Holder.

    (iv)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, any attempt by the Key Common Holder to transfer Equity Securities in violation of Section 3 hereof shall be void and the Company agrees it will not effect such a transfer nor will it treat any alleged transferee(s) as the holder of such shares without the written consent of a majority in interest of the Holders.

4.        Assignments and Transfers; No Third Party Beneficiaries . This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives, but shall not otherwise be for the benefit of any third party. The rights of the Holders hereunder are only assignable (i) by each of such Holders to any other Holder, (ii) to a partner or affiliate of such Holder or (iii) to an assignee or transferee who acquires all of the Equity Securities purchased by a Holder or at least 250,000 shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares).

Exhibit 10.11

INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

 

THIS INDEMNITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of                            , 2012, is made by and between KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                      (“Indemnitee”).

RECITALS :

A.      The Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals as directors, officers, employees and agents.

B.      The Company’s bylaws (the “Bylaws”) require that the Company indemnify its directors, and empowers the Company to indemnify its officers, employees and agents, as authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the “Code”), under which the Company is organized and such Bylaws expressly provide that the indemnification provided therein is not exclusive and contemplates that the Company may enter into separate agreements with its directors, officers and other persons to set forth specific indemnification provisions.

C.      Indemnitee does not regard the protection currently provided by applicable law, the Company’s governing documents and available insurance as adequate under the present circumstances, and the Company has determined that Indemnitee and other directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company may not be willing to serve or continue to serve in such capacities without additional protection.

D.      The Company desires and has requested Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, as the case may be, and has proffered this Agreement to Indemnitee as an additional inducement to serve in such capacity.

E.      Indemnitee is willing to serve, or to continue to serve, as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, as the case may be, if Indemnitee is furnished the indemnity provided for herein by the Company.

F.      Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification and/or insurance provided by                      (“[Venture Fund]”) which Indemnitee and [Venture Fund] intend to be secondary to the primary obligation of the Company to indemnify Indemnitee as provided herein, with the Company’s acknowledgement and agreement to the foregoing being a material condition to Indemnitee’s willingness to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors.

AGREEMENT :

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1.       Definitions .

(a)       Agent . For purposes of this Agreement, the term “agent” of the Company means any person who: (i) is or was a director, officer, employee or other fiduciary of the


Company or a subsidiary of the Company; or (ii) is or was serving at the request or for the convenience of, or representing the interests of, the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, as a director, officer, employee or other fiduciary of a foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

(b)       Expenses . For purposes of this Agreement, the term “expenses” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, all direct and indirect costs of any type or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all attorneys’, witness, or other professional fees and related disbursements, and other out-of-pocket costs of whatever nature), actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense or appeal of a proceeding or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under this Agreement, the Code or otherwise, and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of Indemnitee, but shall not include any judgments, fines or penalties actually levied against Indemnitee for such individual’s violations of law. The term “expenses” shall also include reasonable compensation for time spent by Indemnitee for which he is not compensated by the Company or any subsidiary or third party (i) for any period during which Indemnitee is not an agent, in the employment of, or providing services for compensation to, the Company or any subsidiary; and (ii) if the rate of compensation and estimated time involved is approved by the directors of the Company who are not parties to any action with respect to which expenses are incurred, for Indemnitee while an agent of, employed by, or providing services for compensation to, the Company or any subsidiary.

(c)       Proceedings . For purposes of this Agreement, the term “proceeding” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative nature, and whether formal or informal in any case, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party or otherwise by reason of: (i) the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company; (ii) the fact that any action taken by Indemnitee or of any action on Indemnitee’s part while acting as director, officer, employee or agent of the Company; or (iii) the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, and in any such case described above, whether or not serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification, reimbursement, or advancement of expenses may be provided under this Agreement.

(d)       Subsidiary . For purposes of this Agreement, the term “subsidiary” means any corporation or limited liability company of which more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities or equity interests are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company and one or more of its subsidiaries, and any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary.

(e)       Independent Counsel . For purposes of this Agreement, the term “independent counsel” means a law firm, or a partner (or, if applicable, member) of such a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five (5) years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter

 

2


material to either such party, or (ii) any other party to the proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “independent counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

2.       Agreement to Serve . Indemnitee will serve, or continue to serve, as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any subsidiary, as the case may be, faithfully and to the best of his or her ability, at the will of such corporation (or under separate agreement, if such agreement exists), in the capacity Indemnitee currently serves as an agent of such corporation, so long as Indemnitee is duly appointed or elected and qualified in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bylaws or other applicable charter documents of such corporation, or until such time as Indemnitee tenders his or her resignation in writing; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement is intended as an employment agreement between Indemnitee and the Company or any of its subsidiaries or to create any right to continued employment of Indemnitee with the Company or any of its subsidiaries in any capacity.

The Company acknowledges that it has entered into this Agreement and assumes the obligations imposed on it hereby, in addition to and separate from its obligations to Indemnitee under the Bylaws, to induce Indemnitee to serve, or continue to serve, as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company.

3.       Indemnification .

(a)       Indemnification in Third Party Proceedings . Subject to Section 10 below, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the Code, as the same may be amended from time to time (but, only to the extent that such amendment permits Indemnitee to broader indemnification rights than the Code permitted prior to adoption of such amendment), if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any proceeding, for any and all expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such proceeding.

(b)       Indemnification in Derivative Actions and Direct Actions by the Company . Subject to Section 10 below, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the Code, as the same may be amended from time to time (but, only to the extent that such amendment permits Indemnitee to broader indemnification rights than the Code permitted prior to adoption of such amendment), if Indemnitee is a party to or threatened to be made a party to or otherwise involved in any proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, against any and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement, or appeal of such proceedings.

4.       Indemnification of Expenses of Successful Party . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein,

 

3


including the dismissal of any action without prejudice, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the investigation, defense or appeal of such proceeding.

5.       Partial Indemnification . If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of a proceeding, but is precluded by applicable law or the specific terms of this Agreement to indemnification for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.

6.       Advancement of Expenses . To the extent not prohibited by law, the Company shall advance the expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any proceeding, and such advancement shall be made within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances (which shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditures made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be included with the invoice) and upon request of the Company, an undertaking to repay the advancement of expenses if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment, not subject to appeal, that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. Advances shall be unsecured, interest free and without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the expenses. Advances shall include any and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee pursuing an action to enforce Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Agreement, or otherwise and this right of advancement, including expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to support the advances claimed. Indemnitee acknowledges that the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall constitute an undertaking providing that Indemnitee shall, to the fullest extent required by law, repay the advance if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment, not subject to appeal, that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. The right to advances under this Section shall continue until final disposition of any proceeding, including any appeal therein. This Section 6 shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 10(b).

7.       Notice and Other Indemnification Procedures .

(a)       Notification of Proceeding . Indemnitee will notify the Company in writing promptly upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of expenses covered hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise.

(b)       Request for Indemnification and Indemnification Payments . Indemnitee shall notify the Company promptly in writing upon receiving notice of nay demand, judgment or other requirement for payment that Indemnitee reasonably believes to the subject to indemnification under the terms of this Agreement, and shall request payment thereof by the

 

4


Company. Indemnification payments requested by Indemnitee under Section 3 hereof shall be made by the Company no later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the written request of Indemnitee. Claims for advancement of expenses shall be made under the provisions of Section 6 herein.

(c)       Application for Enforcement . In the event the Company fails to make timely payments as set forth in Sections 6 or 7(b) above, Indemnitee shall have the right to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to this Agreement. In such an enforcement hearing or proceeding, the burden of proof shall be on the Company to prove by that indemnification or advancement of expenses to Indemnitee is not required under this Agreement or permitted by applicable law. Any determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, stockholders or independent counsel) that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, shall not be a defense by the Company to the action nor create any presumption that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder.

(d)      Indemnification of Certain Expenses . The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all expenses incurred in connection with any hearing or proceeding under this Section 7 unless the Company prevails in such hearing or proceeding on the merits in all material respects.

8.       Assumption of Defense . In the event the Company shall be requested by Indemnitee to pay the expenses of any proceeding, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding, or to participate to the extent permissible in such proceeding, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee. Upon assumption of the defense by the Company and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same proceeding, provided that Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in such proceeding at Indemnitee’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Indemnitee’s counsel delivers a written notice to the Company stating that such counsel has reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense or the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel or otherwise actively pursued the defense of such proceeding within a reasonable time, then in any such event the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel to defend such proceeding shall be subject to the indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of this Agreement.

9.       Insurance . To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, or agents of the Company or of any subsidiary (“D&O Insurance”), Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, employee or agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has D&O Insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of

 

5


Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

10.     Exceptions .

(a)       Certain Matters . Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee on account of any proceeding with respect to (i) remuneration paid to Indemnitee if it is determined by final judgment or other final adjudication that such remuneration was in violation of law (and, in this respect, both the Company and Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission believes that indemnification for liabilities arising under the federal securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and that claims for indemnification should be submitted to appropriate courts for adjudication, as indicated in Section 10(d) below); (ii) a final judgment rendered against Indemnitee for an accounting, disgorgement or repayment of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company against Indemnitee or in connection with a settlement by or on behalf of Indemnitee to the extent it is acknowledged by Indemnitee and the Company that such amount paid in settlement resulted from Indemnitee’s conduct from which Indemnitee received monetary personal profit pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other provisions of any federal, state or local statute or rules and regulations thereunder; (iii) a final judgment or other final adjudication that Indemnitee’s conduct was in bad faith, knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest or constituted willful misconduct (but only to the extent of such specific determination); or (iv) on account of conduct that is established by a final judgment as constituting a breach of Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the Company or resulting in any personal profit or advantage to which Indemnitee is not legally entitled. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a final judgment or other adjudication may be reached in either the underlying proceeding or action in connection with which indemnification is sought or a separate proceeding or action to establish rights and liabilities under this Agreement.

(b)       Claims Initiated by Indemnitee . Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other agents and not by way of defense, except (i) with respect to proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or under any other agreement, provision in the Bylaws or Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law, or (ii) with respect to any other proceeding initiated by Indemnitee that is either approved by the Board of Directors or Indemnitee’s participation is required by applicable law. However, indemnification or advancement of expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Board of Directors determines it to be appropriate.

(c)       Unauthorized Settlements . Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding effected without the Company’s written consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold consent to any proposed settlement; provided, however, that the

 

6


Company may in any event decline to consent to (or to otherwise admit or agree to any liability for indemnification hereunder in respect of) any proposed settlement if the Company is also a party in such proceeding and determines in good faith that such settlement is not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

(d)       Securities Act Liabilities . Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee or otherwise act in violation of any undertaking appearing in and required by the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or in any registration statement filed with the SEC under the Act. Indemnitee acknowledges that paragraph (h) of Item 512 of Regulation S-K currently generally requires the Company to undertake in connection with any registration statement filed under the Act to submit the issue of the enforceability of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement in connection with any liability under the Act on public policy grounds to a court of appropriate jurisdiction and to be governed by any final adjudication of such issue.

(c)       No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her corporate status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in the Code, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of expenses than would be afforded currently under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, by Indemnitee shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy by Indemnitee.

14.       Subrogation . Except as provided in Section 12(b) above, in the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee (other than against the Fund Indemnitor), who, at the request and expense of the Company, shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

15.       Interpretation of Agreement . It is understood that the parties hereto intend this Agreement to be interpreted and enforced so as to provide indemnification to Indemnitee to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law.

16.       Severability .

17.       Amendment and Waiver . No supplement, modification, amendment, or cancellation of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto.

The arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive or any other type of damages not measured by a Party’s compensatory damage. Each Party shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses and attorneys’ fees and an equal share of the arbitrators’ fees and any administrative fees of arbitration.

(c) Except to the extent necessary to confirm an award or as may be required by law, neither a Party, nor an arbitrator, may disclose the existence, content, or results of an arbitration without the prior written consent of both Parties. In no event shall an arbitration be initiated after the date when commencement of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the dispute, controversy or claim would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.

14.4 As used in this Article 14, the term “ Excluded Claim ” shall mean a dispute, controversy or claim that concerns (a) the scope, validity, enforceability, inventorship or infringement of a Patent Mark or copyright; or (b) any antitrust, anti-monopoly or competition law or regulation, whether or not statutory.

Proposed EphrinA3 Project

Objective of Stage 1 (12months)

The objective of the project is to demonstrate the utility of EphA3 as a target for cancer therapy and to identify a therapeutic development candidate by July 2006.

Proposed Work Program

 

  1.1

Normal Tissue Expression

Published data suggests that EphA3 is expressed at low levels in some human tissues and may be highly expressed in adult retina. Mouse EphA3 gene knock-out mice show high perinatal mortality (75%) but adult mice appear normal. Antibody [***] cross-reacts with mouse and human EphA3 and therefore it should be possible to investigate PK and normal tissue binding of this antibody in normal mice. [***] is a murine g 1 antibody i.e. has poor effector function. The evaluation of the ADCC and/or complement effects of an EphA3antibody on normal tissues requires an active isotype version. PK analysis can be obtained with the current form of the antibody in normal mice.

 

  1.1.1

Proposal Studies

 

a.

Pharmacokinetics and volume of distribution of [***] in normal mice at different antibody doses

b.

Confirmation of EphA3 expression in mouse retina and reactivity with [***] antibody

c.

Construction of [***] human g 1 chimeric and evaluation for safety/tolerability in mice

 

  1.2

Tumor/Tumor blood vessel Expression

The current literature suggests that EphA3 is expressed in a wide variety of human tumors although expression may not be uniform. Many of these studies have been carried out using RT-PCR and reactivity should be confirmed by IHC. Published data suggests that EphA3 is expressed in: 44% (11/25) small cell lung cancer, 24% (10/41) non-small cell lung cancer, 58% (17/29) sarcomas and 31% (12/38) renal cell carcinomas. EphA3 is also strongly expressed in at least 20% melanomas. Expression in tumors of the hematopoietic system is variable.

The expression of EphA3 protein on human tumor cells needs to be analyzed as well as its expression on tumor blood vessels. This data should provide guidance on selection of clinical indications for early clinical trials.

  c.

  1.3

Anti-Tumor Effects In vivo

The anti-tumor activity of molecules that interfere with EphA3 activity suggest that both unconjugated and conjugated antibodies will have therapeutic effect in mouse models. The optimal form of an EphA3 targeted therapeutic will have to be determined.

Work by Lackman et al has shown anti-tumor activity of a [***] antibody conjugate and a [***] IgG dimer in a human tumor xenograft model in the mouse. Brantley et al have shown anti-tumor activity of an EphA3-Fc fusion protein in a xenograft of the 4T1 mammary cell line. The EphA3-Fc protein was shown to reduce vascular density and tumor volume. EphA2-Fc fusion protein was also active in these types of models. Antibodies to EphA2 have been reported to show anti-tumor activity in animal models. EphA2 is expressed on tumor cells and tumor vasculature and EphA2-Fc protein inhibits tumor angiogenesis.

The importance of EphA3 targeting of endothelial cells for anti-tumor activity needs to be investigated in addition to direct tumor cell effects. The development candidate will be expected to show anti-tumor activity in tumor xenograft models of EphA3 expressing and non-expressing human tumors. The indirect anti-tumor activity (against tumor cells not expressing EphA3) should be through tumor endothelial cell effects (angiogenesis).

5.4    Each such payment will be for royalties which accrued up to the last day of the most recently completed calendar quarter.

5.5    Beginning in the first year an Earned Royalty is due to The Regents and in each succeeding calendar year thereafter the Licensee will pay to The Regents a minimum annual royalty [***]. This minimum annual royalty will be paid to The Regents by February 28 of each year and will be credited against the Earned Royalty due and owing for the calendar year in which the minimum payment was made.

5.6    All consideration due The Regents will be payable in United States dollars. When Licensed Products or Licensed Services are Sold for monies other than United States dollars, the Earned Royalties and any other consideration due to The Regents will first be determined in the foreign currency of the country in which such Licensed Products or Licensed Services were Sold or other consideration was received and then converted into equivalent United States dollars. The exchange rate will be the average exchange rate quoted in the Wall Street Journal during the last thirty (30) days of the reporting period.

[***] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.


5.7    Earned Royalties on Net Sales of Licensed Products or Licensed Services occurring in and any other consideration received in any country outside the United States will not be reduced by any taxes, fees, or other charges imposed by the government of such country except those taxes, fees, and charges allowed under the provisions of Paragraph 1.12 (Net Sales). The Licensee also will be responsible for all bank transfer charges.

5.8    Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 27 (Force Majeure), if at any time legal restrictions prevent prompt remittance of any Earned Royalties or other consideration owed to The Regents by the Licensee with respect to any country where a sublicense is issued or a Licensed Product or Licensed Service is Sold or otherwise exploited, then the Licensee will convert the amount owed to The Regents into United States dollars and will pay The Regents directly from another source of funds in order to remit the entire amount owed to The Regents.

5.9    In the event that any patent or any claim thereof included within the Patent Rights is held invalid in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction and last resort and from which no appeal has or can be taken, all obligation to pay royalties based on such patent or claim or any claim patentably indistinct therefrom will cease as of the date of such final decision. The Licensee will not, however, be relieved from paying any royalties that accrued before such final decision, and the Licensee shall be obligated to pay the full amount of royalties due hereunder to the extent that The Regents licenses one or more Valid Claims within the Patent Rights to the Licensee with respect to Licensed Products or Licensed Services sold by Licensee or a sublicensee.

5.10    No Earned Royalties as provided in Paragraph 5.1 will be collected or paid hereunder to The Regents on Licensed Products or Licensed Services Sold to, or otherwise exploited for, the account of the United States Government. The Licensee and its sublicensee

 

15

[***] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.


will reduce the amount charged for Licensed Products or Licensed Services Sold to, or otherwise exploited by, the United States Government by an amount equal to the Earned Royalty for such Licensed Products or Licensed Services otherwise due The Regents.

5.11    Licensee will also pay a non-refundable, non-creditable earned royalty to The Regents in the form of milestone payments according to the following schedule:

 

  5.11.a

Licensee shall pay The Regents a milestone of [***] upon the first IND filing (or foreign equivalent) for a Licensed Product if such filing is made within one (1) year of the Effective Date; or, [***] upon the first IND filing (or foreign equivalent) for a Licensed Product if such filing is made subsequent to the one (1) year anniversary of the Effective Date;

 

  5.11.b

Licensee shall pay The Regents a milestone of [***] upon initiation of Phase III clinical trials (or foreign equivalent) for the first Licensed Product;

 

  5.11.c

Licensee shall pay The Regents a milestone of [***] upon acceptance of a BLA (or foreign equivalent) for the first Licensed Product;

 

  5.11.d

Licensee shall pay The Regents a milestone of [***] upon FDA marketing approval (or foreign equivalent) for the first Licensed Product.

5.12    Each milestone listed in 5.10a through 5.10d above shall be payable in four equal quarterly installments according to the schedule listed in Paragraph 5.3. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that in no event shall Licensee be obligated to make the payment due on any milestone more than once regardless of the number of Licensed Products put into development and regardless of the number of indications for which Licensed Products are developed.

5.13    If it becomes necessary for Licensee to license intellectual property rights from an unaffiliated third party(ies), and Licensee is required to pay a royalty to that unaffiliated third party in order to make, use or sell Licensed Products, and the combined earned royalty due The Regents and unaffiliated third parties exceeds [***], then the earned royalties to be paid to The Regents by Licensee shall be reduced by a proportional amount equal to X/N, where X equals

 

16

[***] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.


the excess over [***] of the royalty rate(s) due to the parties, and N equals the total number of parties to which royalties are due, including The Regents. However, in no event shall the amount paid to The Regents be reduced below fifty percent (50%) of the original earned royalty amounts due The Regents.

6.         Due Diligence

6.1    The Licensee, upon execution of this Agreement, will diligently proceed with the development, manufacture, and Sale of Licensed Products and Licensed Services and will earnestly and diligently market the same after execution of this Agreement using commercially reasonable efforts to generally meet the market demands therefor, using resources comparable to other products of similar market potential in Licensee’s product portfolio.

6.2    The Licensee will obtain all necessary governmental approvals in each country where Licensed Products and Licensed Services are manufactured, used, Sold, imported, or offered for Sale.

6.3    If the Licensee does not use commercially reasonable efforts to perform any of the following:

 

  6.3.a

submit an IND covering Licensed Products and/or Licensed Services to the United States FDA within three (3) years after the Effective Date;

 

  6.3.b

market Licensed Products and/or Licensed Services in the United States within [***] of receiving approval of such Licensed Products or Licensed Services from the United States FDA;

then, subject to equitable extensions reasonably agreed upon by The Regents and Licensee, The Regents will have the right and option to terminate this Agreement or reduce the exclusive licenses granted to the Licensee to non-exclusive licenses in accordance with Paragraph 6.4 below.

 

17

[***] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.


6.4    To exercise either the right to terminate this Agreement or to reduce the exclusive licenses granted to the Licensee to non-exclusive licenses for lack of diligence required in this Article 6 (Due Diligence), The Regents will give the Licensee written notice of the deficiency. The Licensee thereafter has ninety (90) days to cure the deficiency. If The Regents has not received written tangible evidence satisfactory to The Regents that the deficiency has been cured or that a plan, acceptable to The Regents, is in place to make cure by the end of the ninety (90) day period, then The Regents may, at its option, terminate this Agreement immediately without the obligation to provide 60 days’ notice as set forth in Paragraph 10.1 or reduce the exclusive licenses granted to the Licensee to non-exclusive licenses by giving written notice to the Licensee.

7.         Progress and Royalty Reports

7.1    Beginning on August 31, 2004, and semi-annually thereafter, the Licensee will submit to The Regents a progress report as described in Paragraph 7.2 below covering activities by the Licensee and its sublicensees related to the development and testing of all Licensed Products and Licensed Services and the obtaining of any governmental approvals required for marketing them (“Progress Report”) until the first Sale or other exploitation of each Licensed Product and Licensed Service in the United States. For the avoidance of doubt, failure to submit a timely Progress Report to The Regents shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement (subject to cure under Section 10.1). If either party terminates this Agreement before any Licensed Products or Licensed Services are Sold or before this Agreement’s expiration, a final Progress Report covering the period prior to termination must be submitted within thirty (30) days of termination.

7.2    The Progress Reports submitted under Paragraph 7.1 above will include, but not be limited to, a detailed summary of the following topics so that The Regents will be able to

 

18

[***] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.


determine the progress of the development of Licensed Products and Licensed Services and will also be able to determine whether or not the Licensee has met its diligence obligations set forth in Article 6 (Due Diligence) above:

 

   

summary of work completed as of the submission date of the Progress Report;

 

   

key scientific discoveries as of the submission date of the Progress Report;

 

   

summary of work in progress as of the submission date of the Progress Report;

 

   

current schedule of anticipated events and milestones, including those events and milestones specified under Paragraph 6.3 above;

 

   

anticipated and actual market introduction dates of each Licensed Product and Licensed Service; and

 

   

activities of the sublicensees, if any.

7.3    The Licensee also will report to The Regents in its immediately subsequent Progress Report the date of first Sale or other exploitation of a Licensed Product or Licensed Service in each country.

7.4    After the first Sale or other exploitation of a Licensed Product or Licensed Service, the Licensee will provide quarterly royalty reports to The Regents on or before each February 28, May 31, August 31, and November 30 of each year. Each such royalty report will cover the most recently completed calendar quarter (October through December, January through March, April through June, and July through September) and will show:

 

  7.4.a

the gross invoice prices and Net Sales of Licensed Products and Licensed Services Sold or otherwise exploited in exchange for consideration by the Licensee and its sublicensees during the most recently completed calendar quarter;

 

  7.4.b

the quantity of Licensed Products and Licensed Services Sold or otherwise exploited in exchange for consideration by the Licensee and its sublicensees during the most recently completed calendar quarter;

 

  7.4.c

the Earned Royalties, in United States dollars, payable hereunder with respect to Net Sales;

 

19

[***] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.


  7.4.d

the method used to calculate the royalty, specifying all deductions taken and the dollar amount of each such deduction; and

 

  7.4.e

the exchange rates used, if any.

7.5    If no Sales of Licensed Products and Licensed Services have been made and no Licensed Products and Licensed Services have been otherwise exploited in exchange for consideration during any reporting period after the first Sale of a Licensed Product or Licensed Service, then a statement to this effect must be provided by the Licensee in the immediately subsequent royalty report.

8.         Books and Records

8.1    The Licensee will keep books and records accurately showing all payments due The Regents and all Licensed Products and Licensed Services manufactured, used, offered for Sale, imported, Sold, and/or otherwise exploited under the terms of this Agreement. Subject to Section 28, such books and records will be preserved for at least five (5) years after the date of the payment to which they pertain and will be open to inspection by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm designated by The Regents at reasonable times (but no more than once a year) to determine their accuracy and assess the Licensee’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

8.2    The fees and expenses of representatives of The Regents performing such an examination will be borne by The Regents. If, however, an error in royalties of more than five percent (5%) of the total royalties due for any year is discovered the Licensee shall bear the cost of the examination. The Licensee shall remit any underpayment to The Regents within thirty (30) days of the examination result.

9.2    This Agreement shall automatically terminate without the obligation to provide 60 days’ notice as set forth in Paragraph 10.1 upon the filing of a petition for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code by or against the Licensee as a debtor or alleged debtor if such petition is not dismissed within 60 days.

Confidentiality

  

9.4    The termination or expiration of this Agreement will not relieve the Licensee of its obligation to pay any fees, royalties, reimbursements for Patent Prosecution Costs, or other payments owed to The Regents prior to the date of such termination or expiration and will not impair any accrued right of The Regents, including the right to receive Earned Royalties in accordance with Articles 5 and 12 and the right to receive Stock Consideration Proceeds in accordance with Article 3.

10.       Termination by The Regents

10.1    If the Licensee should materially breach this Agreement, then The Regents may give written notice of such default (“Notice of Default”) to the Licensee. If the Licensee should fail to repair such default within sixty (60) days after the date such notice takes effect, The Regents will have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and the licenses hereunder by providing a written notice of termination (“Notice of Termination”) to the Licensee.

11.       Termination by the Licensee

11.1    The Licensee will have the right at any time to terminate this Agreement by providing a Notice of Termination to The Regents. Moreover, the Licensee will be entitled to terminate the rights under Patent Rights on a country-by-country basis by giving notice in writing to The Regents. Termination of this Agreement (but not termination of any patents or patent applications under Patent Rights, which termination is subject to Paragraph 16.6) will be effective sixty (60) days after the date such notice takes effect.

12.       Disposition of Licensed Products and Licensed Services upon Termination or Expiration

12.1    Upon termination of this Agreement, within a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date of termination, the Licensee may (a) complete any partially made

Licensed Products and continue to render any previously commenced Licensed Services and (b) Sell all previously made or partially made Licensed Products, provided, however, that the Sale of such Licensed Products and Licensed Services will be subject to the terms of this Agreement including, but not limited to, the payment of Earned Royalties at the times provided herein and the rendering of royalty reports in connection therewith. The Licensee may not otherwise make, Sell, offer for Sale, or import Licensed Products or Licensed Services, or practice the Licensed Method after the date of termination.

12.2    If applicable Patent Rights existed at the time of any making, Sale, offer for Sale, or import of a Licensed Product or at the time of any Sale, offer for Sale, or rendering of a Licensed Service, then Earned Royalties shall be paid at the times provided herein and royalty reports shall be rendered in connection therewith, notwithstanding the absence of applicable Patent Rights with respect to such Licensed Product or Licensed Service at any later time. Otherwise, no Earned Royalties shall be paid on such product or service.

13.       Use of Names and Trademarks

13.1    Nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed as conferring any right to either party to use in advertising, publicity, or other promotional activities any name, trade name, trademark, or other designation of the other party (including a contraction, abbreviation or simulation of any of the foregoing). The use by the Licensee of the name “Medical College of Wisconsin Research Foundation” or the name of any campus of The Medical College of Wisconsin in advertising, publicity, or other promotional activities is expressly prohibited, except as required by law in connection with a public offering. Unless consented to in writing by the Executive Director, Office of Technology Transfer of The Regents, the use by the Licensee of the name “The Regents of the University of California” or the name of any campus of the

University of California in advertising, publicity, or other promotional activities is expressly prohibited, except as required by law in connection with a public offering.

14.       Limited Warranty

14.1    The Regents warrants to the Licensee that it has the lawful right to grant this license.

14.2    Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the licenses and the associated Invention, Patent Rights, Property Rights, Know-How, Licensed Products, Licensed Services, and Licensed Methods are provided by The Regents WITHOUT WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. THE REGENTS MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE INVENTION, PATENT RIGHTS, PROPERTY RIGHTS, KNOW-HOW, LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSED SERVICES, OR LICENSED METHODS WILL NOT INFRINGE ANY PATENT, COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK OR OTHER RIGHTS.

14.3    Nothing in this Agreement is or shall be construed as:

 

  14.3.a

a warranty or representation by The Regents as to the validity, enforceability, or scope of any Patent Rights; or

 

  14.3.b

a warranty or representation that anything made, used, Sold, or otherwise exploited under any license granted in this Agreement is or will be free from infringement of patents, copyrights, or other rights of third parties; or

 

  14.3.c

an obligation to bring or prosecute actions or suits against third parties for patent infringement except as provided in Article 18 (Patent Infringement); or

conferring by implication, estoppel, or otherwise any license or rights under any patents or other rights of The Regents and/or MCWRF other than Patent Rights, Property Rights and Know-How, regardless of whether such patents are dominant or subordinate to Patent Rights; or

 

24

[***] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.


  14.3.e

an obligation to furnish any New Developments, know-how, technology, or technological information not provided in Patent Rights, Property Rights, or Know-How.

15.       Limitation of Liability

15.1     THE REGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, COSTS OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, LOST BUSINESS, ENHANCED DAMAGES FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR OTHER SPECIAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY LICENSEE, SUBLICENSEES, JOINT VENTURES, OR AFFILIATES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT FOR ALL CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING TORT, CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY AND BREACH OF WARRANTY) EVEN IF THE REGENTS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

16.       Patent Prosecution and Maintenance

16.1     Pursuant to the Inter-institutional, all actions by The Regents in this Article 16 shall be made through MCWRF. For the avoidance of doubt, any payments due from Licensee under Paragraphs 16.5 and/or 16.6 below shall be paid to MCWRF at the address indicated in Article 20.

16.2     The Regents will diligently prosecute and maintain the United States and foreign patents comprising the Patent Rights using counsel of its choice who will take instructions solely from The Regents. The Regents will promptly provide the Licensee with copies of all relevant documentation so that the Licensee will be informed and apprised of the continuing prosecution and may comment upon such documentation sufficiently in advance of any initial deadline for filing a response, provided, however, that if the Licensee has not commented upon such documentation in reasonable time for The Regents to sufficiently consider the Licensee’s

 

25

[***] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.


comments prior to a deadline with the relevant government patent office, or The Regents must act to preserve Patent Rights, The Regents will be free to respond without consideration of the Licensee’s comments, if any.

16.3     The Regents will use reasonable efforts to amend any patent application to include claims requested by the Licensee and required to protect the Licensed Products or Licensed Services contemplated to be Sold, or the Licensed Method to be practiced, under this Agreement.

16.4     The Regents will, at the Licensee’s request, file, prosecute, and maintain patent applications and patents included under Patent Rights in foreign countries, if available. The Licensee must notify The Regents within seven (7) months of the filing of the corresponding United States patent application of its request for The Regents to file foreign counterpart patent applications. This notice concerning foreign filing must be in writing and must identify the countries desired. The absence of such a notice from the Licensee to The Regents within the seven (7)-month period will be considered an election by the Licensee not to request The Regents to secure foreign Patent Rights on its behalf. The Regents will have the right to file patent applications at its own expense in any country the Licensee has not included in its list of desired countries, and such patent applications and resultant patents, if any, will not be included in the licenses granted hereunder, provided Licensee has not elected to pay for such applications within 30 days of notice from The Regents of its desire to proceed in any such country.

16.5     All costs of obtaining patentability opinions (if required), preparing, filing, prosecuting in whatsoever manner, and maintaining all United States and corresponding foreign patent applications and resulting patents specified under Patent Rights (“Patent Prosecution Costs”) will be borne by the Licensee, including, but not limited to, Patent Prosecution Costs

 

26

[***] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.


incurred by The Regents and MCWRF prior to the execution of this Agreement, totaling approximately $20,795.45. The costs of all interferences, oppositions, reexaminations, and reissues shall be deemed to be Patent Prosecution Costs and also will be borne by the Licensee. The Licensee will reimburse The Regents for all Patent Prosecution Costs within thirty (30) days following receipt of an itemized invoice from The Regents for Patent Prosecution Costs.

16.6     The Licensee will pay any Patent Prosecution Costs incurred during the three (3)-month period after receipt by either party of a Notice of Termination, even if the invoices for such Patent Prosecution Costs are received by The Regents after the end of the three (3)-month period following receipt of a Notice of Termination. The Licensee may terminate its obligation to pay Patent Prosecution Costs with respect to any particular patent application or patent under Patent Rights in any or all designated countries upon three (3)-months’ written notice to The Regents. The Regents may continue prosecution and/or maintenance of such patent application or patent at its sole discretion and expense, provided, however, that the Licensee will have no further rights or licenses thereunder.

16.7     The Licensee will notify The Regents of any change of its status as a small entity (as defined by the United States Patent and Trademark Office) and of the first sublicense granted to an entity that does not qualify as a small entity.

17.       Patent Marking

17.1     The Licensee will mark all Licensed Products made, used, or Sold under the terms of this Agreement or their containers in accordance with the applicable patent marking laws.

18.       Patent Infringement

18.1     In the event that The Regents (to the extent of the actual knowledge of the licensing professional responsible for the administration of this Agreement) or the Licensee learns of infringement of potential commercial significance of any patent licensed under this

 

27

[***] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.


Agreement, the knowledgeable party will provide the other (i) with written notice of such infringement and (ii) with any evidence of such infringement available to it (the “Infringement Notice”). During the period in which, and in the jurisdiction where, the Licensee has exclusive rights under this Agreement, neither The Regents nor the Licensee will notify a third party (including the infringer) of infringement or put such third party on notice of the existence of any Patent Rights in an adversarial manner without first obtaining consent of the other. For the avoidance of doubt, any notice given by Licensee that expressly accuses a third party of infringing the Patent Rights, which is knowingly given without The Regents’ consent, may constitute a material breach of this Agreement depending upon the severity of the circumstance. Both The Regents and the Licensee will use their diligent efforts to cooperate with each other to terminate such infringement without litigation.

18.2     If infringing activity of potential commercial significance by the infringer has not been abated within ninety (90) days following the date the Infringement Notice takes effect (or, with The Regents’ consent, sooner in exigent circumstances), the Licensee may institute suit for patent infringement against the infringer. The Regents may voluntarily join such suit at its own expense, but may not thereafter commence suit against the infringer for the acts of infringement that are the subject of the Licensee’s suit or any judgment rendered in that suit. The Regents will join in any suit initiated by the Licensee upon Licensee’s request, if such joinder is required by law for Licensee to pursue such action. If, in a suit initiated by the Licensee, The Regents is involuntarily joined other than by the Licensee or requested to join by Licensee, the Licensee will pay any costs incurred by The Regents arising out of such suit, including but not limited to, any legal fees of counsel that The Regents selects and retains to represent it in the suit.

 

28

[***] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.


18.3     If, within a hundred and twenty (120) days following the date the Infringement Notice takes effect, infringing activity of potential commercial significance by the infringer has not been abated and if the Licensee has not brought suit against the infringer, The Regents may institute suit for patent infringement against the infringer. If The Regents institutes such suit, the Licensee may not join such suit without The Regents’ consent and may not thereafter commence suit against the infringer for the acts of infringement that are the subject of The Regents’ suit or any judgment rendered in that suit.

18.4     Any recovery or settlement received in connection with any suit will first be shared by The Regents and the Licensee equally to cover the litigation costs each incurred, and next shall be paid to The Regents or the Licensee to cover any litigation costs it incurred in excess of the litigation costs of the other. In any suit initiated by the Licensee, any recovery in excess of litigation costs will be shared between the Licensee and The Regents as follows: (a) for any recovery other than amounts paid for willful infringement: (i) The Regents will receive [***] of the recovery if The Regents was not a party in the litigation and did not incur any litigation costs, (ii) The Regents will receive [***] of the recovery if The Regents was a party in the litigation, but did not incur any litigation costs, including the provisions of Paragraph 18.2 above, and (iii) if The Regents paid its own litigation costs, The Regents will receive the percentage of the remaining recovery that corresponds to the percentage of the overall litigation costs that The Regents paid in connection with the litigation [***]; and (b) for the portion of any recovery for willful infringement, The Regents will receive [***] of such recovery. In any suit initiated by The Regents, any recovery in excess of litigation costs will belong to The Regents. The Regents and the Licensee agree to be bound by all determinations of patent infringement,

validity, and enforceability (but no other issue) resolved by any adjudicated judgment in a suit brought in compliance with this Article 18.

18.5     Any agreement made by the Licensee for purposes of settling litigation or other dispute shall comply with the requirements of Article 3 (Sublicenses) of this Agreement.

18.6     Each party will cooperate with the other in litigation proceedings instituted hereunder but at the expense of the party who initiated the suit (unless such suit is being jointly prosecuted by the parties).

18.7     Any litigation proceedings will be controlled by the party bringing the suit, except that The Regents may be represented by counsel of its choice in any suit brought by the Licensee.

19.       Indemnification

19.1     The Licensee will, and will require its sublicensees to, indemnify, hold harmless, and defend The Regents, MCW and their officers, employees, and agents, the sponsors of the research that led to the Invention, the inventors of any invention claimed in patents or patent applications under Patent Rights (including the Licensed Products, Licensed Services, and Licensed Methods contemplated thereunder), and the inventors of the inventions in Property Rights or Know-How and their employers against any and all claims, suits, losses, damage, costs, fees, and expenses resulting from, or arising out of, any third party claim that arises out of the exercise of this license or any sublicense. This indemnification will include, but will not be limited to, any product liability. The Regents shall inform Licensee promptly of any such indemnifiable claim which is brought against it and shall, at Licensee’s request, cooperate with Licensee with respect to the defense and/or settlement of such indemnifiable claim. Licensee shall have full control over the suit or proceedings, including the right to settle, through counsel of its choice who is reasonably acceptable to Regents; provided, however, Licensee will not,

 

30

[***] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.


absent the consent of Regents (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (1) where the claimant or plaintiff does not release Regents from all liability in respect thereof, and/or (2) where any admission of wrongdoing or liability is made, or any other material negative action is required, by the Regents. If The Regents, in its reasonable discretion, believes that there will be a conflict of interest or it will not otherwise be adequately represented by counsel chosen by the Licensee to defend The Regents in accordance with this Paragraph 19.1, then The Regents may retain counsel of its choice to represent it, and the Licensee will pay all expenses for such representation.

19.2     During the term of this Agreement starting prior to the commencement of human clinical trials and for three (3) years following termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Licensee, at its sole cost and expense, will insure its activities in connection with any work performed hereunder and will obtain and maintain the following insurance (or an equivalent program of self insurance):

 

  19.2.a

Comprehensive or Commercial Form General Liability Insurance (contractual liability included) with limits as follows:

 

Each Occurrence

   $ 3,000,000   

Products/Completed Operations Aggregate

   $ 3,000,000   

Personal and Advertising Injury

   $ 3,000,000   

General Aggregate (commercial form only)

   $ 3,000,000   

 

  19.2.b

The coverage and limits referred to in Subparagraph (19.2a) above will not in any way limit the liability of the Licensee. The Licensee will furnish The Regents with certificates of insurance evidencing compliance with all requirements. Such certificates will:

 

      i

Provide for thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to The Regents of any modification;

 

      ii

Indicate that The Regents has been endorsed as an additional insured under the coverage described above; and

 

31

[***] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.


          iii

UC Agreement Control No. 2004-18-0030

 

[***] CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT REDACTED AND SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE COMMISSION.


INTER-INSTITUTIONAL AGREEMENT

for

Method of and Composition for Immunization with the Pseudomonas V Antigen

THIS AGREEMENT is effective December 28, 2003 by and between The MCW Research Foundation, Inc. (“MCWRF”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. (“MCW”), having an address at 8701 Watertown Plank Road, Milwaukee, WI 53226 and The Regents of the University of California (“The Regents”), a California corporation having its statewide administrative offices at 1111 Franklin Street, Oakland, California 94607-5200 and acting through its Office of Technology Management, University of California San Francisco, 185 Berry Street Suite 4603, San Francisco, CA 94107.

BACKGROUND

1.        Certain research performed at The University of California and at MCWRF resulted in the development of inventions disclosed in UC Case Nos. SF99-038 and SF01-043 and MCWRF Case No. 1097 (the “Inventions”).

2.        The Inventions are covered by Patent Rights (as defined in this Agreement) and were developed by Dr. Dara Frank, Timothy Yahr and Robert Fritz at MCW and Drs. Jeanine Wiener-Kronish, Teiji Sawa, and James Marks at the University of California, San Francisco (the “Inventors”).

3.        Effective December 28, 1998, The University of California and MCWRF entered an inter-institutional agreement as amended January 29, 2001 [UC Agreement Control Number 99-19-0010] (“Previous Agreement”) whereby MCWRF administered the Inventions on behalf of both parties.

4.        It is now the mutual desire of the parties that the Previous Agreement be terminated, and subject to the provisions of this Agreement set forth below, the Inventions be commercialized by The Regents on behalf of both parties and, to that end, MCWRF agrees not to grant to any person (other than The Regents) any right, title, or interest in and to the Inventions or the Patent Rights.

5.        It is also the mutual desire of the parties that MCWRF continue to administer the Patent Rights on behalf of both parties.

MCWRF and The Regents agree:

4.3         Mechanism for Designating Research Targets.     Except as set forth in Section 4.4 below, Licensee shall use the mechanism described in this Section 4.3 to designate Research Targets.

4.3.1      At any time during the Research License Period, Licensee may provide to the Third Party Reviewer the identity of any an additional Proposed Target it wishes to reserve as a Research Target (“Proposed Target”).

4.3.2      The Third Party Reviewer maintains a list of Targets (“Target List”), which are Targets that have been (i) designated by BioWa, its Affiliates or any Third Party licensees of BioWa (“Third Party Licensees”) on a non-exclusive basis, (ii) designated by BioWa or its Affiliates exclusively for its or their own drug discovery programs, or (iii) to which BioWa has granted licenses or reserved exclusively for Third Parties, and so are not available for any other commercial license. The Targets described in subsections (ii) and (iii) are designated “Excluded Targets”).

4.3.3      The Third Party Reviewer shall notify Licensee whether such Proposed Target is available to Licensee as a Research Target no later than thirty (30) days after receiving a notice of the identity of a Proposed Target from Licensee under Section 4.3.1 above. Unless a Proposed Target is an Excluded Target, it shall be deemed available to Licensee as a Research Target for purposes of this Agreement and added to the Target List. If a Proposed Target is successfully designated as a Research Target, Third Party Reviewer shall notify BioWa in writing, within thirty (30) days of receiving Licensee’s notice of the identity of Proposed Target(s), that a Proposed Target (but not the identity of the same) has been designated as a Research Target. For the avoidance of doubt, BioWa shall not cause the Third Party Reviewer to reveal the identity of any Proposed Target (even if it is deemed to be an Excluded Target) or any Research Target to BioWa or to any Third Party at any time.

4.3.4      Licensee acknowledges that until a Proposed Target is confirmed by the Third Party Reviewer to be available and designated as a Research Target, any such Proposed Target may be subject to exclusive designation, non-exclusive designation or reservation by BioWa, its Affiliates or a Third Party. For the purpose of clarity, after a Proposed Target is confirmed to be available and designated as a Research Target by Licensee, such Research Target is confirmed to be a non-exclusive reservation of such Proposed Target by Licensee, and BioWa shall not grant to any Affiliates or Third Party or reserve for itself an exclusive license for such Research Target during the Term.

4.4           Designation of Target Under 2008 License.       The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Target initially designated by Licensee under the 2008 Agreement and identified as [***] shall, as of the Effective Date, be deemed a Target designated under this Agreement and shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

7.6      Accrued Rights and Obligations .  Termination or expiration of this Agreement, in whole or in part on a Commercial License-by-Commercial License basis, for any reason shall not (a) release any Licensor or Licensee from any liability which, at the time of such termination or expiration, has already accrued or which is attributable to a period prior to such termination or expiration or (b) preclude any Licensor or Licensee from pursuing any rights and remedies it may have hereunder, or at law or in equity, with respect to any breach of, or default under, this Agreement.

9.1.1       The Parties agree that Confidential Information shall not be deemed to include information that the receiving Party can demonstrate by written documentation:

9.1.1.1        is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of the receiving Party, in the public domain or generally publicly available;

9.1.1.2        is rightfully known by the receiving Party or its Affiliates without restriction on disclosure at the time of receiving such information, as evidenced by credible evidence;

9.1.1.3        is furnished to the receiving Party or its Affiliates by a Third Party under no obligation of confidentiality, as a matter of right and without restriction on disclosure; or

9.1.1.4        is independently discovered or developed by the receiving Party or its Affiliates without reference to or use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

9.1.2       Each Party agrees that, notwithstanding the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the receiving Party shall maintain all Confidential Information of a disclosing Party in confidence and shall not publish, disseminate or otherwise disclose a disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any Third Party, nor use any Confidential Information of a disclosing Party, without the written consent of the disclosing Party, except for the purpose of this Agreement as provided in this Article 9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the receiving Party may disclose and disseminate Confidential Information of the disclosing Party only to those Affiliates, Sublicensees, employees or contractors of the receiving Party who have a bona fide need to know for the purpose of this Agreement, and only after such Affiliates, Sublicensees, employees or contractors have been advised of the confidential nature of such information and are bound in writing by an obligation of confidentiality under terms substantially similar to, and as protective of the disclosing Party as, the confidentiality obligations in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, unless it has obtained Licensee’s prior written consent, Licensor shall not disclose any Confidential Information of Licensee to any Affiliate of Licensor (including, without limitation, Kyowa Hakko Kirin Co., Ltd.) that is involved in research or development relating to human therapeutics. For clarity, Licensor’s routine financial reporting to an Affiliate (including, without limitation, Kyowa Hakko Kirin Co., Ltd.) shall not been deemed a prohibited disclosure of Licensee’s Confidential Information.

11.2    [***]Procedure. The following provisions are conditions on each Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder.   If either Party intends to claim indemnification under this Article 11, it shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any Claims of a Third Party for which it (the “Indemnitee”) intends to claim such indemnification. Indemnitor shall have sole control of the defense and settlement of any such Claim, provided that Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent Indemnitor so desires, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Parties. The obligations of this Article 11 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claims of Third Party if such settlement is effected without the consent of Indemnitor, which consent shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably. The failure to deliver written notice to Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve Indemnitor of any obligation to Indemnitee under this Article 11. Indemnitee, its or their employees and agents, shall reasonably cooperate with Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any Claim covered by this Article 11.

11.3    Insurance Proceeds.   Any indemnification hereunder shall be made net of any insurance proceeds recovered by the Indemnitee; provided, however, that if, following the payment to the Indemnitee of any amount under this Article 11, such Indemnitee recovers any insurance proceeds in respect of the Claim for which such indemnification payment was made, the Indemnitee shall promptly pay an amount equal to the amount of such proceeds (but not exceeding the amount of such indemnification payment) to the Indemnitor.

11.4    Insurance.     Each Party shall procure and maintain insurance policies underwritten by a reputable insurance company or self-insurance, including clinical trial and product liability insurance, and providing adequate coverage for its respective obligations and activities hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee and its Affiliates shall procure and/or maintain policies of insurance for comprehensive general liability, clinical trials and products liability coverage in a minimum amount of [***] with respect to Licensee’s performance under this Agreement.

11.5    Limitation of Liability .     LICENSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE AND LICENSEE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO LICENSOR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF ANTICIPATED PROFITS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH DAMAGES WERE CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR UNLAWFUL ACT OF THAT PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES OR SUBLICENSEES. [***] ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AGGREGATE VALUE OF THE MONETARY CONSIDERATION ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY LICENSOR FROM LICENSEE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE 12 -

-28-


Parties shall be referred to (i) an officer of Licensee and (ii) an officer of each of Lonza and BioWa (collectively, the “Management Representatives”), who shall attempt in good faith to achieve a resolution. If such Management Representatives are unable to resolve such a dispute within sixty (60) Business Days of the first presentation of such dispute to such Management Representatives, such dispute shall be referred to an appropriately senior officer of each of Lonza and BioWa and the an appropriately senior officer of Licensee (or their respective designees) who shall use their good faith efforts to mutually agree upon the proper course of action to resolve the dispute. If any dispute is not resolved by these individuals (or their designees) within thirty (30) Business Days after such dispute is referred to them, or such longer period as they may mutually agree, then Licensee or Licensor shall have the right to pursue the dispute resolution mechanism provided in Section 12.2 following.

12.2    International Court of Arbitration.   Any dispute that may arise between Licensor and Licensee relating to the terms of this Agreement or the activities of the Parties that is not resolved pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”). The arbitration will be held in New York City, New York before a single arbitrator knowledgeable in biotechnology-related matters and familiar with the biotechnology industry, selected in accordance with the rules and regulations of the ICC. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language and in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the ICC, unless specifically modified in this Agreement. The arbitration must commence within sixty (60) days of the date on which the arbitrator is selected. The arbitrator will have the power to order the production of documents by each Party and any Third Party witnesses; however, the arbitrator will not have the power to order the taking of depositions, the answering of interrogatories or the responses to requests for admission. Each Party must provide to the other, no later than seven (7) business days before the date of arbitration, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by a Party’s witness or expert.

The arbitrator will not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages unless expressly authorized by this Agreement and may not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under this Agreement. The Parties covenant and agree that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith and that they will share equally the costs of the arbitration, except as otherwise provided herein. Any Party refusing to comply with an order of the arbitrator will be liable for costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other Parties in enforcing the award. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief, any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm. The provisions of this Section will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

12.3    No Limitation .  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting in any way the right of a Party to immediately seek temporary
