No. Section 251(h) of the DGCL provides that, unless expressly required by its certificate of incorporation, no vote of stockholders will be necessary to authorize the merger of a constituent corporation whose shares are listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders immediately prior to the execution of the applicable agreement of merger by such constituent corporation if, subject to certain statutory provisions: • the agreement of merger expressly permits or requires that the merger shall be effected by Section 251(h) of the DGCL and provides that such merger be effected as soon as practicable following the consummation of the tender offer; • an acquiring corporation consummates a tender offer for any and all of the outstanding stock of such constituent corporation that would be entitled to vote on the merger (other than any shares held by the constituent corporation, the corporation making such offer, any person that owns, directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding stock of the corporation making the offer, and any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of any of the foregoing); • following the consummation of the tender offer, the acquiring corporation owns at least such percentage of stock of such constituent corporation that, absent Section 251(h) of the DGCL, would otherwise be required to adopt the agreement of merger for such constituent corporation; and • each outstanding share of each class or series of stock of the constituent corporation that is the subject of and not irrevocably accepted for purchase in the offer is converted in such merger into the same consideration for their stock in the merger as was payable in the tender offer.

There can be no assurance that any such approval or Claims shall continue until the final disposition of any action, if needed, will be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be obtained without substantial conditions; and all such Claims. Without limiting the foregoingthere can be no assurance that, in the event that such approvals were not obtained or such other actions were not taken, adverse consequences might not result to Loxo Oncology’s business or that certain parts of Loxo Oncology’s business might not have to be disposed of or held separate, any Claimof which may give us the right to terminate the Offer at any Expiration Date without accepting for payment any Shares validly tendered (and not properly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer. Our obligation under the Offer to accept for payment and pay for Shares is subject to the Offer Conditions, including, among other conditions, the Antitrust Condition. See Section 15 – “Conditions of the Offer.” Antitrust Compliance Under the HSR Act (iincluding the related rules and regulations that have been promulgated thereunder by the FTC), certain acquisition transactions, including Purchaser’s purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer, may not be consummated until certain information and documentary material has been furnished for review by the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the DOJ (the “Antitrust Division”) Parent and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. Lilly and Loxo Oncology filed their respective Premerger Notification and Report Forms with the FTC and the Antitrust Division on January 16, 2019. Under the HSR Act, Purchaser’s purchase of the Shares pursuant to the Offer is subject to an initial waiting period that will expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on January 31, 2019. However, the initial waiting period may be terminated prior to such date and time by the FTC, or Purchaser and Loxo Oncology may receive a request (a “Second Request”) for additional information or documentary material from either the FTC or the Surviving Corporation shallAntitrust Division prior to such expiration. If the FTC or the Antitrust Division issues a Second Request, and if Parent and the Surviving Corporation do not promptly do so, Holding shall (x) periodically advance reasonable fees and expenses (including attorneys fees) waiting period with respect to the foregoing and pay Offer will be extended for an additional period of ten days, which will begin on the reasonable fees and expenses date on which Purchaser has substantially complied with the Second Request. Complying with a Second Request can take a significant period of counsel selected by each Indemnified Party, promptly after statements therefor are received, provided that time. Even though the Indemnified Party to whom fees and expenses are advanced or for which fees and expenses of counsel are paid provides an undertaking to repay such advances and payments if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party waiting period is not entitled affected by a Second Request to indemnificationLoxo Oncology or by Loxo Oncology supplying the requested information, Loxo Oncology is obliged to respond to the request within a reasonable time. If the ten-day waiting period expires on a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, then such waiting period will be extended until 11:59 p.m. of the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday. Only one extension of the waiting period pursuant to a Second Request is authorized by the HSR Act. After that time, the waiting period may be extended only by court order or with our consent. The FTC or the Antitrust Division may terminate the additional ten-day waiting period before its expiration. The FTC and the Antitrust Division frequently scrutinize the legality under the U.S. antitrust laws of transactions like the Offer and the Merger. At any time, the FTC or the Antitrust Division could take any action under the antitrust laws that it considers necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking (yi) vigorously assist each Indemnified Party in such defenseto enjoin the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer, and (ii) subject to enjoin the Merger, (iii) to require Purchaser (or, after completion of the Merger, Lilly) to divest the Shares, or (iv) to require us or Loxo Oncology to divest substantial assets or seek other conduct relief. Private parties, as well as state attorneys general, also may bring legal actions under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. At any time before or after the consummation of the Merger, notwithstanding the early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, any state or private party could seek to enjoin the consummation of the Merger or seek other structural or conduct relief or damages. See Section 15 – “Conditions of the Offer.” Based upon an examination of publicly available information and other information relating to the terms businesses in which Loxo Oncology is engaged, Lilly and Loxo Oncology believe that neither the purchase of this Section 7.1, Holding, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate in the defense of any matter. If any Claim is commenced as to which an Indemnified Party desires to receive indemnification, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Surviving Corporation with reasonable promptness; provided, however, that failure to give reasonably prompt notice Shares by Purchaser pursuant to the Surviving Corporation shall not affect Offer nor the indemnification obligations consummation of Holdingthe Merger should violate applicable antitrust laws. Nevertheless, Parent neither Lilly nor Loxo Oncology can be certain that a challenge to the Offer or the Surviving Corporation hereunder except to Merger on antitrust grounds will not be made, or, if such challenge is made, what the extent that result will be. See Section 15 – “Conditions of the failure to so notify has prejudiced the Surviving Corporation in such Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain counsel of such Indemnified Party’s own choice to represent such person; and such counsel shall, to the extent consistent with its professional responsibilities, cooperate with Holding, Parent and the Surviving Corporation and any counsel designated by any of Holding, Parent or the Surviving Corporation.

NSH unitholders are urged to consult their tax advisors for a full understanding of the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the merger that will be applicable to them.

TABLE OF CONTENTS. (b) To 17. Appraisal Rights No appraisal rights are available to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, commencing at the Effective Time and continuing for six (6) years (or for holders of Shares who tender such longer period provided for in any applicable statute of limitations) and one (1) month thereafter, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall, and if Parent and the Surviving Corporation do not promptly do so, Holding shall, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, each present and former director, officer or employee of the Company and each Company Subsidiary and their respective estates, heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and settlement amounts paid Shares in connection with the Offer. If the Offer and Merger are consummated, the holders of Shares who: (i) did not tender their Shares in the Offer; (ii) follow the procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL; and (iii) do not thereafter lose their appraisal rights (by withdrawal, failure to perfect or otherwise), in each case in accordance with the DGCL, will be entitled to have their Shares appraised by the Delaware Court of Chancery and receive payment of the “fair value” of such Shares, exclusive of any Claim element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger, together with interest thereon, if any, as determined by such court. Unless the Delaware Court of Chancery in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the Merger through the date of payment of the judgment will be compounded quarterly and will accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (whether asserted prior including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the Merger and the date of payment of the judgment. In determining the “fair value” of any Shares, the Court of Chancery will take into account all relevant factors. Holders of Shares should recognize that “fair value” so determined could be higher or lower than, or the same as, the Offer Price or the consideration payable in the Merger (which is equivalent in amount to the Offer Price) and that an investment banking opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration payable in a sale transaction, such as the Offer and the Merger, is not an opinion as to, at and does not otherwise address, “fair value” under Section 262 of the DGCL. Moreover, we may argue in an appraisal proceeding that, for purposes of such proceeding, the fair value of such Shares is less than the Offer Price. Section 262 provides that, if a merger was approved pursuant to Section 251(h), either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or afterthe surviving corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of Section 262. The Schedule 14D-9 constitutes the formal notice by ArQule to its stockholders of appraisal rights in connection with the Merger under Section 262 of the DGCL. As described more fully in the Schedule 14D-9, if a stockholder wishes to elect to exercise appraisal rights under Section 262 in connection with the Merger, such stockholder must do all of the following: • prior to the later of the consummation of the Offer and 20 days after the date of mailing of the Schedule 14D-9, deliver to ArQule a written demand for appraisal of Shares held, which demand must reasonably inform ArQule of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder is demanding appraisal; • not tender such stockholder’s Shares in the Offer; and • continuously hold of record the Shares from the date on which the written demand for appraisal is made through the Effective Time) arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission in their capacity as director or officer . The foregoing summary of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or their serving at appraisal rights of stockholders under the request DGCL does not purport to be a complete statement of the Company or procedures to be followed by the stockholders desiring to exercise any Company Subsidiary appraisal rights available thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262 of the DGCL. The proper exercise of appraisal rights requires strict and timely adherence to the applicable provisions of the DGCL. A copy of Section 262 of the DGCL will be included as director, officer, trustee, partner or fiduciary of another Person, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise in each case occurring on or before Xxxxx XX to the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided, however, that in the event any Claim or Claims Schedule 14D-9.
