The occurrence of a Milestone Vesting Trigger shall be determined by Purchaser’s Board of Directors in its reasonable discretion, which decision shall be binding upon the Parties and final;

(b) At the closing of the first round of financing after the date of this Agreement pursuant to which Purchaser sells shares of its equity resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least [ * ], including a reverse merger whose primary purpose is financing (the “Financing”), Purchaser will issue to each Seller additional non-qualified options to purchase Common Stock of the Company (the “Total Options”) to each Seller under the Plan (the “Top-Up Options”) under the Plan pursuant to this Section l.2(b) in an amount sufficient to ensure that the sum of the Initial Time-Based Equity plus the Milestone Options plus the Top-Up Options held by each Seller represents [ * ] of the total number of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (excluding all shares reserved but unissued under the Plan and any issuances to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 1.2) as of immediately following the initial closing of the Financing. The Top-Up Options shall have an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant, as reasonably determined by the Purchaser’s Board of Directors (or if the Company is publicly traded, pursuant to the terms of the Plan), and shall vest as follows: (i) [ * ] of the shares under the Top-Up Options (i.e., [ * ] of the of the total number of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (excluding all shares reserved but unissued under the Plan and any issuances to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 1.2) as of immediately prior to the date of issuance of options) shall be vested on issuance and the remainder as of immediately prior to the date of issuance of options) shall vest in increments of [ * ] per month from the Effective Date, provided that such Seller is providing Continuous Service (as defined under the Plan) to the Company, it being understood that being on unpaid retainer shall satisfy such definition; and (ii) the other [ * ] of the Top-Up Options (i.e., [ * ] of the of the total number of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (excluding all shares reserved but unissued under the Plan and any issuances to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 1.2), shall vest upon the occurrence of a Milestone Vesting Trigger, provided that for clarity, with respect to the Top-Up Option grants pursuant to this subclause (ii), vesting shall occur on the achievement of the Milestone Vesting Trigger by the Company regardless of whether Sellers are providing Continuous Service (as defined under the Plan) at the applicable time of achievement during the term of such Top-Up Options. The occurrence of a Milestone Vesting Trigger shall be determined by Purchaser’s Board of Directors in its reasonable discretion, which decision shall be binding upon the Parties and final;

(c) [ * ] shall be payable to each Seller, within [ * ] following [ * ], as reasonably determined by Purchaser’s Board of Directors;

(d) [ * ] shall be payable to each Seller, within [ * ] following [ * ], as reasonably determined by Purchaser’s Board of Directors;

For clarity, the Parties contemplate that the Sellers shall each hold Initial Options and Top-Up Options totaling [ * ] of the outstanding shares of equity of the Company following the Financing. For further clarity, the payments in Sections l.2(c), (d) and (e) of the Purchaser Price shall be payable only once to each Seller upon the first successful achievement by the Purchaser of such payment event with respect to the Product, as determined by Purchaser’s Board of Directors, as aforesaid.

1.3 Assumed Liabilities. Purchaser shall not assume any Liabilities of Sellers (whether or not related to the Designated Assets), except for the continuing obligations under the terms of the License Agreement arising following the Closing Date, but solely to the extent not related to or arising from any fact, circumstance, act, breach or violation occurring prior to the Closing Date.

The determination as to the calculation of the Royalty Payments shall be reasonably made by Purchaser’s Board of Directors, in its reasonable discretion.

(b) Concurrently with each Royalty Payment made hereunder, Purchaser shall submit to Sellers a written statement of account, which statement shall show (i) the Annual Net Sales in a manner consistent with the definition thereof, and (ii) the manner in which the Royalty Payment was calculated (the “Royalty Statement”).

(ii) Purchaser and each Seller shall execute and deliver to the other Party that certain instrument, titled “Amendment No. 1 To License Agreement” in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, thereby effectuating the assignment of the License Agreement to Purchaser. (With reference to said Amendment No. 1 to License Agreement, in the interest of clarity, the Parties agree that obligations set forth in Section 13.3 of the amended License Agreement do not and shall not apply to Sellers hereunder.)

SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER.

Sellers, severally and not jointly, each represent and warrant to Purchaser that, except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule (it is hereby agreed that any information disclosed in any section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to relate to and qualify the corresponding numbered or lettered section or subsection of this Agreement and any other representation or warranty of Sellers where such disclosure would reasonably be deemed to apply) as of the Effective Date (for the avoidance of doubt and sake of clarity, in this Section 2, each Seller shall only make each representation with respect to itself, notwithstanding the fact that “Sellers” or “each Seller” may be referenced):

2.1 License Agreement. Sellers have delivered to Purchaser accurate and complete copies of the License Agreement. The License Agreement is valid and in full force and effect. Neither Seller nor any of the other parties to the License Agreement has violated or breached, or declared or committed any default under the License Agreement. No event has occurred, and no circumstance or condition exists, that might (with or without notice or lapse of time) result in a violation, breach or default by any Seller or any of the other parties to the License Agreement. Neither Seller has waiver any rights under the License Agreement. There are no material disputes regarding the License Agreement and, to the knowledge of Sellers, the relationship between Sellers and Stanford is good.

2.2 Authority; Binding Nature of Agreements. Each Seller has full power and authority to enter into, perform and comply with its obligations under this Agreement, and any other Transaction Agreement which such Seller is required to enter into hereunder and this Agreement constitutes and any such other Transaction Agreement when executed will constitute valid, legally binding and enforceable obligations on such Seller in accordance with its or their respective terms, subject to: (i) laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors; and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

2.3 Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery by Sellers of the Transactional Agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, including the sale of the Designated Assets by Sellers to Purchaser will not result in the imposition or creation of any lien or Encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Designated Assets. Sellers are not required to obtain any additional consent from any Person in connection with the execution and delivery of the Transactional Agreements or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the sale of the Designated Assets to Purchaser.

2.4 Compliance with Law; Permits. As it relates to the Designated Assets: (a) each Seller has at all times been and is now in compliance with each Legal Requirement that is applicable to the ownership or use of the Designated Assets; (b) no event has occurred, and no condition or circumstance exists, that might (with or without notice or lapse of time) constitute or result in a violation by any Seller of, or a failure on the part of any Seller to comply with, any Legal Requirement; and (c) no Seller has received, at any time, any notice or other communication (in writing or otherwise) from any governmental body or

[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.

Page 6 of 28

any other Person regarding any actual or alleged violation of, or failure to comply with, any Legal Requirement.

2.5 Title to Transferred Assets. Sellers own, and have good and valid title to, all of the Designated Assets, free and clear of any Encumbrances, subject to the qualifications pertaining thereto with respect to Stanford as set forth in Section 1.1, subparts (b) and (c).

With respect to the Designated Assets, no claim or other Proceeding is pending or, to the knowledge of Sellers, has been threatened in respect of any Tax.

2.7 Restriction on Business Activities. There is no order to which Sellers are a party to or otherwise binding upon Sellers or any of their properties or assets (including the Designated Assets) which has or may reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or impairing the use of the Designated Assets or limiting the freedom of Purchaser to engage in any line of business or to compete with any Person. Sellers have not entered into any contract under which they are, or Purchaser will be after the Closing, restricted from using the Designated Assets to create products or services and sales, licensing, marketing, manufacturing or otherwise distributing or using any such products, services or any of the Designated Assets or from providing services to customers or potential customers or any class of customers, m any geographic area, during any period of time, or in any segment of the market.

The Designated IP is valid, subsisting and enforceable. There are no outstanding options, licenses, or agreements of any kind relating to the Designated IP. To Sellers’ knowledge, the Designated IP does not violate or infringe any intellectual property right of any other Person. Neither Seller has received any communication alleging that any Seller or that the Designated IP has violated or would violate any of the patents, trademarks, service marks, tradenames, copyrights, trade secrets or other proprietary rights or processes of any other Person.

2.10 Proceedings. There is no pending or threatened Proceeding: (a) that involves or otherwise can affect any Seller or any of the Designated Assets; or (b) that challenges, or that may have the effect of preventing, delaying, making illegal or otherwise interfering with, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements. No event has occurred, and no claim, dispute or other condition or circumstance exists, that will or could be expected to, give rise to or serve as a basis for the commencement of any such Proceeding. There is no order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree to which any Seller, or any Designated Asset, is subject.

Page 7 of 28

this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, or consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. No representation or warranty by Sellers in this Agreement or any Schedule hereto contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary, in each case with respect to the Designated Assets, in order to make the statement made herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

3.4 Capitalization Table. Exhibit D sets forth the true and correct capitalization of the Company as of the Effective Date.

SECTION 4. SURVIVAL AND INDEMNIFICATION.

4.1 Survival of Representations.

(a) The representations and warranties of Sellers shall survive the Closing and the sale of the Designated Assets to Purchaser and shall expire on the date that is [ * ] following the Closing Date (the “Representation Termination Date”); provided, however, that if Purchaser provides Seller a written notice relating to any representation or warranty prior to the applicable Representation Termination Date, then the claim(s) asserted in such Claim Notice shall survive the Representation Termination Date until such time as such claim is (or claims are) fully and finally resolved. The limitations set forth in this Section 4.l(a) shall not apply in the case of intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or fraud (“Fraud”). The covenants and obligations of each Party shall survive the Closing and the sale of the Designated Assets to Purchaser and shall expire upon the applicable statute of limitations, which statute shall start to run on the Closing Date, except in the case of Fraud.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Claim Notice” relating to a particular representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been given if Purchaser delivers to Sellers a written notice stating that Purchaser believes that there is or has been a breach of a representation or warranty, asserting a claim for

Page 8 of 28

recovery under Section 4.2 based on such alleged breach and setting forth in reasonable detail: (i) the basis for, and a brief description of the circumstances supporting, Purchaser’s belief that there is or has been such a breach; and (ii) to the extent practicable, a non-binding, preliminary estimate of the aggregate dollar amount of the actual and potential Damages that have arisen and may arise as a result of such breach.

4.2 Indemnification. From and after the Closing Date (but subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 4), each of the Sellers shall individually, and not jointly, hold harmless, reimburse and indemnify Purchaser and its agents and representatives from and against, any Damages that are suffered or incurred by Purchaser and that arise from or as a result of or relating to:

(a) Any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties made by the applicable Seller in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Agreement;

(b) Any breach of any covenant or obligation of the applicable Seller contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement; and

(c) Any Liability of such Seller, except for the Assumed Liabilities.

4.3 Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each Seller’s liability to Purchaser hereunder shall be capped at the value of such Seller’s vested shares comprising the Purchase Price (with the value of such shares or options, to the extent necessary in determining the cap, as reasonably determined by Purchaser’s Board of Directors based upon the available information pertaining thereto) for each of the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that, to the extent that the liability to Purchaser exceeds the value of the vested shares comprising the Purchase Price with respect to any claim of Purchaser, the liability shall be satisfied in part by any vested shares or options and shall remain in effect until there are no longer shares or options subject to vesting. It is further agreed that each Seller shall have the right to satisfy any liability to Purchaser hereunder by returning to Purchaser that portion of its vested shares or options whose value equals the amount of said liability, not to exceed the return of all of its shares or options comprising the Purchase Price (with the value of such shares or options, to the extent necessary in determining the cap, as reasonably determined by Purchaser’s Board of Directors based upon the available information pertaining thereto). The limitation set forth in this Section 4.3 shall not apply in the case of Fraud and shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

4.4 Defense of Third-Party Claims. In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Proceeding (whether against Purchaser or against any other Person) with respect to which Purchaser may be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant to this Section 4.4, Purchaser shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense of such claim or Proceeding on its own with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Sellers (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Purchaser shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Proceeding; provided, however, that if Purchaser settles, adjusts or compromises any such claim or Proceeding without the consent of Sellers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), such settlement, adjustment or compromise shall not be conclusive evidence of the amount of Damages incurred by Purchaser in connection with such claim or Proceeding. Purchaser shall give Sellers prompt notice after it becomes aware of the commencement of any such claim or Proceeding against Purchaser; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Purchaser to so notify Sellers shall not limit any of the obligations of Sellers, or any of the rights of Purchaser, under this Section 4.4 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Proceeding). If Purchaser does not elect to proceed with

[ * ] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, has been omitted because it is both (i) not material and (ii) would be competitively harmful if publicly disclosed.

Page 9 of 28

the defense of any such Proceeding, Sellers may proceed with the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser; provided, however, that Sellers may not settle or compromise any such Proceeding without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

SECTION 5. CERTAIN POST-CLOSING COVENANTS.

5.1 Further Assurances. From and after the Closing, each of Purchaser and Sellers will, to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party and at such other Party’s sole expense, execute and deliver such documents and instruments and take such other actions as such other Party may reasonably request in order to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. On and after the Closing Date, each Seller shall execute such documents, further instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation and other papers and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to transfer, convey and assign to Purchaser, and to confirm Purchaser’s title to, all of the Designated Assets.

5.4 Non-Competition.

(a) Non-Competition. Each Seller hereby covenants, acknowledges and agrees that it will not, at any time during [ * ] from the Closing Date, either directly or indirectly, as principal, agent, owner, partner, employee, consultant, shareholder, director or officer, as the case may be, in any manner whatsoever, own, be engaged in, be concerned with, be interested in, operate, have any financial interest in or advance, lend money to, guarantee the debts or obligations of, permit its name or any part thereof to be used or applied by any Person, firm or corporation engaged in or concerned with or interested in, directly or indirectly, in any Competitive Activity in any territory in which the Products are currently planned to be commercialized, except as a passive shareholder holding less than [ * ] percent of the outstanding shares of a corporation offering its shares to the public and whose shares are listed and posted for trading on a recognized stock exchange.

(b) Relief.

(i) Injunctive Relief. Sellers acknowledges that breach of Seller’s covenants contained in this Section 5.4 may cause irreparable harm to the Business, which may not be compensable through monetary damages.

Consultant agrees that during the Term and for a period of [ * ] thereafter, Consultant shall not, without Company’s prior written consent, recruit, solicit, or hire any employee of Company, or induce or attempt to induce any employee of Company to discontinue his or her employment relationship with Company.

INDEMNIFICATION

Indemnification of Consultant. Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Consultant and its affiliates, and the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “Consultant Indemnitees “), from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of litigation) (“Losses”) from any claims, actions, suits or proceedings brought by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) incurred by any Consultant Indemnitee, arising from, or occurring as a result of (a) gross negligence or willful misconduct of Company and its Affiliates and (b) the research, development and regulatory activities relating to the exendin product conducted by or on behalf of Company in connection with the performance of the Services in accordance with this Agreement; except to the extent such Third Party Claims fall within the scope of the indemnification obligations of Consultant set forth in Section 7.2.

Indemnification of Company. Consultant shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Company and its Affiliates and the directors, officers, shareholders, employees and agents of such entities and the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “Company Indemnitees “), from and against any and all Losses from any Third Party Claims incurred by any Company Indemnitee, arising from, or occurring as a result of (a) gross negligence or willful misconduct of Consultant or its Affiliates; and (b) any material breach of any representations, warranties or covenants by Consultant under this Agreement, except to the extent such Third Party Claims fall within the scope of the indemnification obligations of Company set forth in Section 7.1(a) or (b).

Procedure.

The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonable assistance, at the indemnifying Party’s expense, in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim for which indemnity is being sought. The indemnitee may participate in and monitor such defense with counsel of its own choosing at its sole expense; provided, however, the indemnitor shall have the right to assume and conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice. The indemnitor shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, unless the settlement involves only the payment of money.

The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action with respect to a Third Party Claim shall only relieve the indemnitor of its indemnification obligations under this 7. if and to the extent the indemnitor is actually prejudiced thereby.
