Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 21, 2017, Juno Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten public offering of 6,100,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Underwritten Shares”) at a price of $41.00 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from this offering and the concurrent private placement described below are expected to be approximately $262.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering and the concurrent private placement described below for general corporate purposes and working capital. The Company has granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 915,000 shares of common stock (together with the Underwritten Shares, the “Shares”). The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about September 26, 2017, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-220537) (the “Registration Statement”) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the related registration statement filed on September 22, 2017 pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the preliminary prospectus relating to the offering included therein and a final prospectus dated September 21, 2017.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, certain officers and directors of the Company have entered into “lock-up” agreements with the Underwriters in substantially the form included as Exhibit A to the Underwriting Agreement, which generally prohibit the sale, transfer or other disposition of securities of the Company for a 90-day period, subject to certain exceptions.

In addition, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement and Omnibus Amendment (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with Celgene Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, “Celgene”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell and Celgene has agreed to buy 659,415 shares of our common stock in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, at a sale price equal to the price to the public in the offering made pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and Registration Statement (the “Public Offering”). The closing of this purchase will be conditioned on, and concurrent with, the initial closing of the Public Offering. Celgene has also agreed to purchase in subsequent closings and at the same price a number of shares equal to approximately 10.81% of the number of shares sold in any full or partial exercise of the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares in the Public Offering, up to a maximum of 98,912 additional shares of common stock. The Company will receive the full proceeds and will not pay any underwriting discounts or commission with respect to the shares that are sold in the private placement. The number of shares we will sell to Celgene will constitute approximately 9.76% of the aggregate number of the shares sold in the Public Offering and the concurrent private placement to Celgene, which is equal to the percentage of our common stock Celgene beneficially owned following its last exercise of its top-up purchase rights pursuant to the share purchase agreement previously entered into with Celgene in June 2015 (the “First Celgene SPA”), as disclosed by the Company in a filing made on Form 8-K on June 29, 2015 (the “June 2015 8-K”). The Share Purchase Agreement also amends the terms of the previously disclosed Voting and Standstill Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, each entered into between the Company and Celgene on June 29, 2015, and each also previously disclosed in the June 2015 8-K, in order to subject the shares purchased in the Share Purchase Agreement to the same terms and conditions under such agreements as if the shares had been purchased pursuant to the First Celgene SPA.

Based on the number of shares of Juno’s common stock outstanding as of September 21, 2017, upon the closing of the Public Offering and the concurrent private placement to Celgene, Juno will have 113,288,567 shares of common stock outstanding (or 114,302,479 shares of common stock outstanding if the Underwriters fully exercise their option to purchase additional shares in the Public Offering).

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement and the Share Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement and the Share Purchase Agreement, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 1.1 and 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.


Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the

 

22


case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party, in from and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d)    To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. If the loss, claim, damage or liability is caused by an untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

 

23


(e)    The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(f)    The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.

9.     Termination . The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT or the NASDAQ Global Select Market, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets, or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.

 

24


10.     Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters . This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Firm Shares are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Shares to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, which, for the purposes of this Section 10, shall not include termination by the Underwriters under items (i), (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 9, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

 

25


11.     Entire Agreement . (a) This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares.

(b)    The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Shares.

12.     Counterparts . This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

13.     Applicable Law . This Agreement, and any claim, controversy or dispute relating to or arising out of this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

14.     Headings . The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (the “Representatives”) propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Juno Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the several Underwriters, including the Representatives (the “Underwriters”), of shares (the “Shares”) of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company (the “Common Stock”).

To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on, and including, the date that is 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement (the “Restricted Period”) relating to the Public Offering (the “Prospectus”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.


The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (or otherwise limit or restrict):

(a) transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities sold or acquired in the Public Offering (other than any issuer-directed shares of Common Stock purchased in the Public Offering by an officer or director of the Company) or acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Common Stock or other securities acquired in such open market transactions;

(b) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (i) by will or intestacy, (ii) by bona fide gift, (iii) to the spouse, domestic partner, parent, child or grandchild (each, an “immediate family member”) of the undersigned or to a trust formed for the benefit of one or more immediate family members, (iv) if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership or other business entity (x) to another corporation, partnership or other business entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the undersigned or (y) as part of a disposition, transfer or distribution without consideration by the undersigned to its equity holders, limited partners or members or (v) if the undersigned is a trust, to a trustee or beneficiary of the trust, provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to this clause (b), each transferee, donee or distributee shall execute and deliver to the Representatives a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this Letter Agreement, and provided , further , in the case of clauses (ii) through (v), that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or other public announcement shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period (provided, however, that the undersigned shall be permitted to make required filings on a Schedule 13D, Form 13F or Schedule 13G under the Exchange Act, provided that any such filings shall not be made in connection with a transfer, disposition or distribution of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable of exchangeable for Common Stock);

(c) the transfer of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into Common Stock to the Company upon a vesting event of the Company’s securities or upon the exercise of options or warrants to purchase the Company’s securities, in each case on a “cashless” or “net exercise” basis or to cover tax withholding obligations of the undersigned in connection with such vesting or exercise, provided that any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act required in connection with such vesting or exercise shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that the filing relates to the circumstances described in this paragraph (c);

(d) the exercise of options for cash to purchase shares of Common Stock granted under a stock incentive plan or stock purchase plan described in the Prospectus, or the exercise of warrants for cash to purchase shares of Common Stock described in the Prospectus and outstanding as of the date of the Prospectus, provided , that the underlying shares of Common Stock continue to be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Letter Agreement;

(e) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of Common Stock, provided that (i) such plan

 

2


does not provide for the transfer of Common Stock during the Restricted Period and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act regarding the establishment of such plan is required of or is voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Common Stock may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period;

(f) the transfer of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to the Company, pursuant to agreements under which the Company has the option to repurchase such shares or a right of first refusal with respect to transfers of such shares;

(g) the transfer of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock that occurs by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement; provided that (i) with respect to any transfer in connection with a divorce settlement, each transferee shall execute and deliver to the Representatives a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this Letter Agreement and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act regarding the transfer is required of or is voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that the transfer was made by operation of law and, if applicable, pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement, as applicable;

(h) the transfer of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Common Stock involving a change of control of the Company (including, without limitation, entering into any lock-up, voting or similar agreement pursuant to which the undersigned may agree to transfer, sell, tender or otherwise dispose of Common Stock or such other securities in connection with any such transaction, or vote any securities in favor of any such transaction) that has been approved by the board of directors of the Company, provided that if the tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Common Stock owned by the undersigned shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this Letter Agreement; or

(i) the exercise of any right with respect to, or the taking of any other action in preparation for, a registration by the Company of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, provided that no transfer of the undersigned’s Common Stock registered pursuant to the exercise of such rights under this item shall occur, and no registration statement shall be filed, during the Restricted Period.

For the purposes of clause (h), a “ change of control ” means the transfer (whether by tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons (other than the Underwriters pursuant to the Public Offering), of shares of Common Stock or any

 

3


securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock if, after such transfer, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transfer do not own a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (or the surviving entity).

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, subject to the exception set forth in paragraph (i) above, without the prior written consent of the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the Restricted Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, the undersigned further agrees that the foregoing provisions shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed Shares the undersigned may purchase in the Public Offering.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this Letter Agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this Letter Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters.

The undersigned understands that, (i) if either the Representatives, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, informs the other, prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, that it has determined not to proceed with the Public Offering, (ii) if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Securities to be sold thereunder, (iii) if the registration statement related to the Public Offering has been withdrawn prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement or (iv) the Underwriting Agreement is not executed on or before October 31, 2017, the undersigned shall be automatically released from all obligations under this Letter Agreement.

This Letter Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

Celgene Switzerland is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of business. No Celgene Party presently has any agreement, plan or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute or effect any distribution of any of the Shares (or any securities which are derivatives thereof) to or through any person or entity. No Celgene Party is a registered broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act nor an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered as a broker-dealer.

(d)     Status . At the time Celgene Switzerland was offered the Shares, it was, and at the date hereof or any date in the future on which Celgene Switzerland purchases Shares, it is and will be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

(f)     Experience . Celgene Switzerland, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Celgene Switzerland is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(g)     Access to Information . Celgene Switzerland acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Disclosure Materials and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable Celgene Switzerland to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of any Celgene Party or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect any Celgene Party’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure Materials and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. The Celgene Parties have sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as they have considered necessary to make an informed decision with respect to its acquisition of the Shares.

(h)     Brokers and Finders . No Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company or any Celgene Party for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of any Celgene Party.

(i)     Independent Investment Decision . Celgene Switzerland has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase Shares pursuant to this Agreement and such Celgene Party has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Shares.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1     Transfer Restrictions .

(a)     Compliance with Laws . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV , the Celgene Parties acknowledge and agree that the Shares may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Shares other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) to the Company or (iii) pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Shares under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and shall have the rights of the Celgene Parties under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to such transferred Shares.

(b)     Legends . In addition to any legend required under the Voting and Standstill Agreement, the book-entry or certificated form of the Shares shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form, until such time as they are not required under Section  4.1(c) :

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF SUCH ACT.

(c)     Removal of Legends . Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Voting and Standstill Agreement, the legend set forth in Section  4.1(b) above shall be removed and the Company shall issue to such holder the applicable Shares in book-entry form free and clear of such legend or any other legends by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”), if (i) such Shares are sold under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) such Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (if the transferor is not an Affiliate of the Company), or (iii) such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions. Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Voting and Standstill Agreement, the Company agrees that it shall cause Company Counsel (i) after the Effective Date, to issue to the Transfer

Agent, if required by the Transfer Agent, a “blanket” legal opinion or other letter to allow sales without restriction pursuant to the effective registration statement and (ii) provide all other opinions of Company Counsel as may reasonable be required by the Transfer Agent in connection with the removal of legends pursuant to this Section  4.1(c) following receipt of the certificates and documents contemplated below. Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Voting and Standstill Agreement, following Rule 144 becoming available for the resale of Shares, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, the Company, upon the request of a Celgene Party and delivery of the certificates and documents contemplated below, shall cause Company Counsel or other counsel satisfactory to the Transfer Agent to issue to the Transfer Agent a legal opinion stating that such Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions. Any fees (with respect to the Transfer Agent, Company Counsel or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company. Except with respect to the restrictions set forth in the Voting and Standstill Agreement, the Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section  4.1(c) .

(d)     Acknowledgement . Each Celgene Party hereunder acknowledges its primary responsibilities under the Securities Act and accordingly will not sell or otherwise transfer the Shares or any interest therein without complying with the requirements of the Securities Act. Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Voting and Standstill Agreement, while the Registration Statement remains effective, a Celgene Party may sell the Shares accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the Registration Statement and if it does so it will comply therewith and with the related prospectus delivery requirements unless an exemption therefrom is available. Each Celgene Party agrees that if it is notified by the Company in writing at any time that the Registration Statement registering the resale of the Shares is not effective or that the prospectus included in such Registration Statement no longer complies with the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act, such Celgene Party will refrain from selling such Shares until such time as such Celgene Party is notified by the Company that such Registration Statement is effective or such prospectus is compliant with Section 10 of the Securities Act, unless such Celgene Party is able to, and does, sell such Shares pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act.

4.2     Integration . The Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that will be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Shares to a Celgene Party, or that will be aggregated with the offer or sale of the Shares for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

4.3     Shareholder Rights Plan . No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that a Celgene Party is an “ Acquiring Person ” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that a Celgene Party could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, in either case solely by virtue of purchasing the Shares under this Agreement.

4.4     Principal Trading Market Listing . In the time and manner required by the Principal Trading Market, the Company shall prepare and file with such Principal Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering all of the Shares and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all steps necessary to cause all of the Shares to be approved for listing, and continue to be listed for so long as they are owned by a Celgene Party, on the Principal Trading Market as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company will: (i) keep authorized and reserved for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to enable the issuance of the Shares to be issued at the Closing or a Subsequent Closing; and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to timely file all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act of 1934, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, until the expiration or termination of the Celgene Parties’ registration right pursuant to Sections 6(i)(A) or (B) of the Registration Rights Agreement.

4.7     Tax Withholding .

(a)    The Celgene Parties shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such taxes as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of applicable law. The party that is required to make such withholding (the “ Paying Party ”) will: (i) deduct those taxes from such payment, (ii) timely remit the taxes to the proper taxing authority, and (iii) send evidence of the obligation together with proof of tax payment to the recipient party (the “ Payee Party ”) on a timely basis following that tax payment; provided, however, that before making any such deduction or withholding, the Paying Party shall give the Payee Party notice of the intention to make such deduction or withholding (such notice, which shall include the authority, basis and method of calculation for the proposed deduction or withholding, shall be given at least a reasonable period of time before such deduction or withholding is required, in order for such Payee Party to obtain reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding). Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other Parties in claiming refunds or exemptions from such deductions or withholdings under any relevant agreement or treaty which is in effect to ensure that any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to this Section  4.7(a) are reduced in amount to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(b)    The parties acknowledge and agree that the Celgene Parties will not, absent a change in law or relevant circumstance between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date, as applicable, deduct or withhold from the amounts payable pursuant to Section  2.1(c) any amount in respect of any taxes provided that the Company provides the Celgene Parties with a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9.

(c)     Tax Documentation . The Company has provided a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9 to the Celgene Parties. Each Payee Party shall provide to the other party, at the time or times reasonably requested by such other parties or as required by applicable Law, such properly completed and duly executed documentation (for example, IRS Forms W-8 or W-9) as will permit payments made under this Agreement to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding for taxes.
