1. Defined Terms. Terms not otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the Purchase Option Agreement, including Annex A thereto.

2. Required and Approved Funding; Optional Company Funding.

(a) If, pursuant to Section 14 of the Development Committee Charter the Development Committee determines that additional funds will be required to complete the development of the Programs, the Development Committee shall deliver a notice to the Symphony Collaboration Board, which notice shall (i) state that, pursuant to the Development Budget, additional funds will be required to complete the development of the Programs and (ii) specify the Required Amount (as defined therein).

(b) Upon receipt of the notice specified above, the Symphony Collaboration Board shall approve an amount in an increment of $1,000,000 to be funded (the “Approved Amount”) and notify the Company of such amount.

(c) Within five calendar days of receipt of notice from the Symphony Collaboration Board of the Approved Amount, the Company shall provide irrevocable written notice to the Symphony Collaboration of the amount of the Optional Company Funding that it agrees to make available to the Symphony Collaboration in its sole discretion (such amount, which may be zero, the “Optional Company Funding Amount”) before or on the earlier of (i) the 30th calendar day immediately following the Balance Sheet Deficiency Date or (ii) the second anniversary of the Closing Date (such date, the “Additional Closing Date”).

(d) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3(c), the Company shall make the Optional Company Funding Amount available by either (x) not invoicing the Symphony Collaboration for expenditures under the Development Plan and Development Budget or (y) paying amounts to the Symphony Collaboration in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the account designated by the Symphony Collaboration; provided, that if the payment option under clause (x) above is elected and

any portion of the Optional Company Funding Amount remains unpaid on the expiration of the Term, such unpaid portion of the Optional Company Funding Amount shall be paid on the day the Term expires pursuant to clause (y) above. The Company shall report to the Symphony Collaboration in writing each month the amount, if any, of the Optional Company Funding Amount made available that month and cumulatively since the Closing Date (which reports are subject to audit and adjustments for any inaccuracies by the Company). In no event shall the Optional Company Funding Amount exceed $5,000,000.

(e) If the Company fails to notify the Symphony Collaboration of the Optional Company Funding Amount within 5 calendar days of the receipt of notice of the Approved Amount, the Optional Company Funding Amount shall be deemed to be $0 (zero dollars).

3. Additional Holdings Funding.

(a) The Symphony Collaboration Board shall determine the amount, if any, of the Approved Amount that it will require Holdings to fund (the “Additional Holdings Payment Amount”), taking into account the Optional Company Funding Amount; provided, that (x) the Additional Holdings Payment Amount may be $0 (zero dollars); and (y) subject to Section 7 below, the Additional Holdings Payment Amount shall not exceed $5,000,000. The Symphony Collaboration shall notify Holdings and the Company of the Additional Holdings Payment Amount within 10 calendar days of receipt of notice from the Company of the Optional Company Funding Amount. If no notice is received by Holdings, then the Additional Holdings Payment Amount shall be deemed to be $0.

(b) Subject to Sections 3(a) and 7, if the difference between the Approved Amount and the Optional Company Funding Amount is less than or equal to $5,000,000, Holdings shall be required to fund the entire difference, up to $5,000,000, between the Approved Amount and the Optional Company Funding Amount.

(c) If the difference between the Approved Amount and the Optional Company Funding Amount is greater than $0 and the Additional Holdings Payment Amount is equal to $0, the Company’s obligations to make all or any part of the Optional Company Funding Amount available to the Symphony Collaboration shall immediately terminate.

(d) Holdings shall pay to the Symphony Collaboration the Additional Holdings Payment Amount as an additional capital contribution on the Additional Closing Date; provided, that in the event that the Company elects to exercise the Purchase Option in accordance with Section 4 below, Holdings’ obligation to pay such amount shall be suspended until such time, if ever, that the Company must pay the Company Payment Amount pursuant to Section 4 below after the exercise of such election. In the event that the Purchase Option Closing Date occurs and Holdings is paid in full all amounts owed to it under the Purchase Option Agreement, Holdings obligations hereunder in respect of the Additional Holdings Payment Amount shall terminate.

4. Company Payment Amount.

(a) So long as the Additional Holdings Payment Amount is greater than $0 and Holdings has paid such amount in full to the Symphony Collaboration, the Symphony Collaboration may require the Company to pay to the Symphony Collaboration an amount (such amount, the “Company Payment Amount”) equal to (x) the difference between the Company Payment Commitment and the Optional Company Funding Amount, less (y) the aggregate amount of Discontinued Funds and payments received by the Symphony Collaboration from the Company following the exercise of a Discontinuation Option that are declared as dividends or otherwise distributed to Holdings pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Amended and Restated Research and Development Agreement; provided, that, subject to Section 7 below, if the difference between the Approved Amount and the Optional Company Funding Amount is greater than or equal to $5,000,000 and the Additional Holdings Payment Amount is less than $5,000,000, the Company Payment Amount shall in no event be greater than the Additional Holdings Payment Amount; provided further, that, subject to Section 7 below, the Company Payment Amount shall not exceed $10,000,000.

(b) Such payment, if so required, shall be made within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of written notice by the Symphony Collaboration of the Company Payment Amount (the date of such payment, the “Company Payment Date”) and by either (or a combination of) (x) not invoicing the Symphony Collaboration for expenditures under the Development Plan and Development Budget incurred through the Company Payment Date (as notified in writing in reasonable detail by the Company to the Symphony Collaboration which notice is subject to audit and adjustments for any inaccuracies by the Company) or (y) paying amounts to the Symphony Collaboration in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the account designated by the Symphony Collaboration; provided, that in lieu of making such payment and so long as the Purchase Option Period has not expired the Company may elect within such ten Business Day period to exercise the Purchase Option pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Option Agreement and purchase Holdings’ interest in the Symphony Collaboration in accordance with the Purchase Option Agreement; provided further, that if the payment option under clause (x) above is elected and any portion of the Company Payment Amount remains unpaid on the expiration of the Term, such unpaid portion of the Company Payment Amount shall be paid on the day the Term expires pursuant to clause (y) above; provided further, that if the Term has expired, the Company Payment Amount shall only be paid pursuant to clause (y) above. In the event that the Purchase Option is exercised by the Company but Holdings is not paid in full on a timely basis as required under the Purchase Option Agreement, the Company shall on demand by the Symphony Collaboration pay in full the Company Payment Amount in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the account designated by the Symphony Collaboration.

5. Company Common Stock Issuance Obligation.

(a) On the Additional Closing Date, if the Additional Holdings Payment Amount is paid to the Symphony Collaboration, the Company shall issue the Additional Investment Shares to Holdings in accordance with Section 2.05 of the Stock

and Warrant Purchase Agreement; provided, that if the Additional Holdings Payment Amount is less than $10,000,000, the number of Additional Investment Shares shall be proportionately reduced.

(b) If stockholder approval for the issuance of such Additional Investment Shares is required but not obtained, the Company shall issue to the Investors, through Holdings, a warrant (the “Additional Investment Warrant”) in accordance with Section 2.05 of the Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement.

6. Company Payment Obligation.

(a) The Company agrees that, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, it will pay to the Symphony Collaboration the Company Payment Amount in an amount not to exceed the Company Payment Commitment.

(b) In the event that a Bankruptcy Event occurs during the Term with respect to the Company and subject to Section 7 below, the Company agrees to pay to the Symphony Collaboration an amount equal to the difference, if any, between $10,000,000 and the aggregate amount of the sum of (x) the Optional Company Funding Amounts actually made available or paid to the Symphony Collaboration and (y) all Company Payment Amounts actually paid by the Company pursuant to Section 4 above, and such amount shall be immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of such Bankruptcy Event.

(c) The Company hereby waives all right to set off amounts owing under Section 4 or this Section 6 against any amounts owing by Holdings or the Symphony Collaboration to the Company under the Operative Documents, unless otherwise agreed.
