• Step-In Right If Lyra elects not to continue to Prosecute a given Patent Right within the Licensed Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights in the Territory pursuant to Section 7.2(a) (In the Territory), then Lyra will give Lian notice thereof within a reasonable period (but not less than [***] days) prior to allowing such Patent Rights to lapse or become abandoned or unenforceable, and Lian will have the right, but not the obligation, to assume the Prosecution of such Patent Rights in such Region, including paying any required fees to maintain such Patent Rights in such Region, all at Lian’s sole expense and through patent counsel or agents of its choice. Upon transfer of Lyra’s responsibility for Prosecuting any of the Patent Rights to Lian under this Section 7.2(b) (Step-In Right), (i) Lyra will promptly deliver to Lian copies of all necessary files related to the Patent Rights with respect to which responsibility has been transferred and will take all actions and execute all documents reasonably necessary for Lian to assume such Prosecution, and (ii) such Patent Right shall no longer extend the Royalty Term pursuant to Section 6.2(b) (Royalty Term).

• Step-In Rights If Agios, as the Initial Enforcement Party, fails to initiate a suit or take such other appropriate action under Section 10.3(b) above within [**] days after becoming aware of the Competitive Infringement, then Celgene may, in its discretion, provide Agios with written notice of Celgene’s intent to initiate a suit or take other appropriate action to combat such Competitive Infringement. If Celgene, as the Initial Enforcement Party for the Agios Patent Rights and Agios Collaboration Patent Rights after the Agios Opt-Out Notice, fails to initiate a suit or take such other appropriate action under Section 10.3(b) above within [**] days after becoming aware of the Competitive Infringement, then Agios may, in its discretion, provide Celgene with written notice of Agios’ intent to initiate a suit or take other appropriate action to combat such Competitive Infringement. If the Party with such step-in rights under either of the two preceding sentences (“Step-In Enforcement Party”) provides such notice and the Initial Enforcement Party fails to initiate a suit or take such other appropriate action within [**] days after receipt of such notice from the Step-In Enforcement Party, then Step-In Enforcement Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to initiate a suit or take other appropriate action that it believes is reasonably required to protect the applicable Agios Intellectual Property or Agios Collaboration Intellectual Property from Competitive Infringement. The Step-In Enforcement Party shall give the Initial Enforcement Party advance notice of the Step-In Enforcement Party’s intent to file any such suit or take any such action and the reasons therefor and shall provide the Initial Enforcement Party with an opportunity to make suggestions and comments regarding such suit or action. Thereafter, the Step-In Enforcement Party shall keep the Initial Enforcement Party promptly informed and shall from time to time consult with the Initial Enforcement Party regarding the status of any such suit or action and shall provide the Initial Enforcement Party with copies of all material documents (e.g., complaints, answers, counterclaims, material motions, orders of the court, memoranda of law and legal briefs, interrogatory responses, depositions, material pre-trial filings, expert reports, affidavits filed in court, transcripts of hearings and trial testimony, trial exhibits and notices of appeal) filed in, or otherwise relating to, such suit or action. For the avoidance of any doubt, this Section 10.3(d) shall not be applicable to any of the Celgene Collaboration Patent Rights, so Agios shall not have any right to be the Step-In Enforcement Party for Celgene Collaboration Patent Rights without the written agreement of Celgene.

• Put Right At any time after November 15, 2009 and prior to November 15, 2013, any Partner who has held Units for at least three years (the “Put Partner”) shall have the right to request that the Partnership redeem all of such Units. Such request shall be made in writing, state a requested date for the redemption (the “Requested Redemption Date”) and be delivered to the General Partner at least 60 calendar days in advance of the Requested Redemption Date. The General Partner shall determine whether the Partnership has sufficient funds to grant the request, which determination shall be made prior to the Requested Redemption Date in the sole discretion of the General Partner. If the General Partner determines that sufficient funds are available, the request shall be granted, and the Partnership shall transfer and deliver to the Put Partner no sooner than the Requested Redemption Date, but no later than 60 calendar days thereafter, 92% of the Unreturned Invested Capital of the Put Partner with respect to the redeemed Units determined as of the Requested Redemption Date; provided that the sum of the percentage interests in Partnership capital or profits transferred during the taxable year of the Partnership does not exceed 9% of the total interests in partnership capital or profits as determined in the sole discretion of the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time during any 12-month period may the number of Units redeemed by the Partnership exceed 2% of the number of Units outstanding at the beginning of such 12-month period unless such redemption is otherwise deemed to be a disregarded transfer for purposes of determining whether the Partnership is a publicly traded partnership pursuant to Regulations Section 1.7704-1 as determined in the sole discretion of the General Partner. If the General Partner determines that sufficient funds are not available, or if the requested redemption would cause the number of Units redeemed by the Partnership to exceed 2% of the number of Units outstanding at the beginning of such 12-month period, the Partnership shall either (i) decline to perform the requested redemption or (ii) perform the requested redemption solely to the extent such redemption does not violate the provisions of Section 9.3 or this Section 9.4, to be decided in the sole discretion of the General Partner. Each Put Partner covenants and agrees with the Partnership and the General Partner that all Units delivered in connection with the exercise of the put right under this Section 9.4 shall be delivered to the Partnership or the General Partner, respectively, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind and, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Partnership nor the General Partner shall be under any obligation to acquire any Put Partner’s Units, (1) to the extent that any such Units are subject to any liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind or (2) in the event that any such Put Partner shall fail to give the General Partner adequate assurances that such Units are not subject to any such liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind or shall fail to agree to fully indemnify the General Partner from any such liens, encumbrances, liabilities, claims or charges of any kind as well as any costs and expenses relating to the Put Partner’s Units or the exercise of the put right. Each Put Partner further agrees that, in the event any state or local transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its Units to the Partnership or General Partner, respectively, each such Put Partner shall assume and pay such transfer tax.

• Company Call Right (a) In connection with any Involuntary Transfer by any Non-Pubco Member, the Company or the Managing Member may, in the Managing Member’s sole discretion, elect to purchase from such Member and/or such Transferee(s) in such Involuntary Transfer (each, a “Call Member”) any or all of Units so Transferred (“Call Units”), at any time by delivery of a written notice (a “Call Notice”) to such Call Member. The Call Notice shall set forth the Unit Redemption Price and the proposed closing date of such purchase of such Call Units; provided that such closing date shall occur within ninety (90) days following the date of such Call Notice. At the closing of any such sale, in exchange for the payment by the Company or the Managing Member to such Call Members of the Unit Redemption Price in cash, (i) each Call Member shall deliver its Call Units, duly endorsed, or accompanied by written instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or the Managing Member, as applicable, duly executed by such Call Member and accompanied by all requisite transfer taxes, if any, (ii) such Call Units shall be free and clear of any Liens and (iii) each Call Member shall so represent and warrant and further represent and warrant that it is the sole beneficial and record owner of such Call Units. Following such closing, any such Call Member shall no longer be entitled to any rights in respect of its Call Units, including any distributions of the Company or Pubco thereupon (other than the payment of the Unit Redemption Price at such closing), and, to the extent any such Call Member does not hold any Units thereafter, shall thereupon cease to be a Member of the Company and, to the extent any such Call Member does not hold any shares of Pubco Common Stock thereafter, shall thereupon cease to be a stockholder of Pubco.

• Termination Right The Representative shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to any Closing Date, (i) if any domestic or international event or act or occurrence has materially disrupted, or in its opinion will in the immediate future materially disrupt, general securities markets in the United States; or (ii) if trading on any Trading Market shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall have been required by FINRA or by order of the Commission or any other government authority having jurisdiction, or (iii) if the United States shall have become involved in a new war or an increase in major hostilities, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by a New York State or federal authority, or (v) if a moratorium on foreign exchange trading has been declared which materially adversely impacts the United States securities markets, or (vi) if the Company shall have sustained a material loss by fire, flood, accident, hurricane, earthquake, theft, sabotage or other calamity or malicious act which, whether or not such loss shall have been insured, will, in the Representative’s opinion, make it inadvisable to proceed with the delivery of the Securities, or (vii) if the Company is in material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants hereunder, or (viii) if the Representative shall have become aware after the date hereof of such a material adverse change in the conditions or prospects of the Company, or such adverse material change in general market conditions as in the Representative’s judgment would make it impracticable to proceed with the offering, sale and/or delivery of the Securities or to enforce contracts made by the Underwriters for the sale of the Securities.

• Option Right Landlord hereby grants to the originally named Tenant herein (“Original Tenant”), and its “Permitted Assignees”, as that term is defined in Section 14.8, below, one (1) option to extend the Lease Term for a period of five (5) years (the “Option Term”), which option shall be irrevocably exercised only by written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord not more than twelve (12) months nor less than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term, provided that the following conditions (the “Option Conditions”) are satisfied: (i) as of the date of delivery of such notice, Tenant is not in default under this Lease, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period; (ii) Tenant has not previously been in default under this Lease, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, more than twice in the twelve (12) month period prior to the date of Tenant’s attempted exercise; and (iii) the Lease then remains in full force and effect. Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, exercised in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, waive any of the Option Conditions in which case the option, if otherwise properly exercised by Tenant, shall remain in full force and effect. Upon the proper exercise of such option to extend, and provided that Tenant satisfies all of the Option Conditions (except those, if any, which are waived by Landlord), the Lease Term, as it applies to the Premises, shall be extended for a period of five (5) years. The rights contained in this Section 2.2 shall be personal to Original Tenant and any Permitted Assignees, and may be exercised by Original Tenant or such Permitted Assignees (and not by any other assignee, sublessee or other “Transferee,” as that term is defined in Section 14.1 of this Lease, of Tenant’s interest in this Lease).

• Company Reacquisition Right In the event that (a) the Awardee’s employment terminates for any reason or no reason, with or without cause, or (b) the Awardee, the Awardee’s legal representative, or other holder of the shares of Common Stock subject to this Award, attempts to sell, exchange, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose of any portion of this Award prior to its distribution from the escrow established in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement, the Company shall automatically reacquire such shares underlying the applicable portion of this Award, and the Awardee shall not be entitled to any payment therefore (the “Company Reacquisition Right”).

• Pre-Emptive Right Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2 hereof, in the event the Corporation wishes at any time to issue any Shares (except for the granting of options to employees not to exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation) it shall offer them for purchase by the Shareholders by notice given to each Shareholder. Such notice shall be given within 10 days of the approval of the Board of Directors of a proposal to issue Shares to raise funds and shall set forth a description of the Shares to be offered, the purchase price and the purchase date which shall be a date not earlier than twenty (20) days after the date of such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, each such Shareholder shall have the right to subscribe for and purchase a number of such Shares determined by multiplying the total number of Share offered by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares owned by such Shareholder at the date of such notice and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Conunon Shares outstanding as at the date of such notice. Such right shall be exercised by the Shareholder by giving notice of acceptance to the Corporation within twenty (20) days after the receipt of the notice from the Corporation. In the event that the Shareholder does exercise such right it shall subscribe, purchase and pay for such Shares on the purchase date set forth in the notice of the Corporation. If all the Shareholders do not subscribe for their respective proportions, the unsubscribed Shares shall be used to satisfy the subscriptions of such Shareholders for Shares in excess of their proportion and, ~ 11 ~ if the subscriptions in excess are more than sufficient to exhaust such unsubscribed Shares, the unsubscribed Shares shall be divided pro rata among the Shareholders desiring Shares as nearly as may be in proportion to the number of Common Shares held by them respectively at the date of such notice, but no Shareholder shall be bound to take any such Shares in excess of the amount it desires. It shall be a condition to the issuance of any new shares that the new Shareholder become party to this Agreement or, if agreed by the Board, another shareholder or share restriction agreement approved by the Board. ~ 12 ~

• Default Not Exceeding 10% of Firm Shares or Option Shares If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligations to purchase the Firm Shares or the Option Shares, if the Over-allotment Option is exercised hereunder, and if the number of the Firm Shares or Option Shares with respect to which such default relates does not exceed in the aggregate 10% of the number of Firm Shares or Option Shares that all Underwriters have agreed to purchase hereunder, then such Firm Shares or Option Shares to which the default relates shall be purchased by the non-defaulting Underwriters in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder.

• Issuance of Common Units in Connection with Reset of Incentive Distribution Rights (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.11, the holder of the Incentive Distribution Rights (or, if there is more than one holder of the Incentive Distribution Rights, the holders of a majority in interest of the Incentive Distribution Rights) shall have the right, at any time when there are no Subordinated Units Outstanding and the Partnership has made a distribution pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(v) for each of the four most recently completed Quarters and the amount of each such distribution did not exceed Adjusted Operating Surplus for such Quarter, to make an election (the “IDR Reset Election”) to cause the Minimum Quarterly Distribution and the Target Distributions to be reset in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.11(e) and, in connection therewith, the holder or holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights will become entitled to receive their respective proportionate share of a number of Common Units (the “IDR Reset Common Units”) derived by dividing (i) the average amount of the aggregate cash distributions made by the Partnership for the two full Quarters immediately preceding the giving of the Reset Notice in respect of the Incentive Distribution Rights by (ii) the average of the cash distributions made by the Partnership in respect of each Common Unit for the two full Quarters immediately preceding the giving of the Reset Notice (the number of Common Units determined by such quotient is referred to herein as the “Aggregate Quantity of IDR Reset Common Units”). If at the time of any IDR Reset Election the General Partner and its Affiliates are not the holders of a majority in interest of the Incentive Distribution Rights, then the IDR Reset Election shall be subject to the prior written concurrence of the General Partner that the conditions described in the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied. Upon the issuance of such IDR Reset Common Units, the Partnership will issue to the General Partner an additional General Partner Interest (represented by hypothetical limited partner units) equal to the product of (x) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Percentage Interest of the General Partner immediately prior to such issuance by (B) a percentage equal to 100% less such Percentage Interest by (y) the number of such IDR Reset Common Units, and the General Partner shall not be obligated to make any additional Capital Contribution to the Partnership in exchange for such issuance. The making of the IDR Reset Election in the manner specified in this Section 5.11 shall cause the Minimum Quarterly Distribution and the Target Distributions to be reset in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.11(e) and, in connection therewith, the holder or holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights will become entitled to receive IDR Reset Common Units and the General Partner will become entitled to receive an additional General Partner Interest on the basis specified above, without any further approval required by the General Partner or the Unitholders other than as set forth in this Section 5.11(a), at the time specified in Section 5.11(c) unless the IDR Reset Election is rescinded pursuant to Section 5.11(d).
