(the “Registration Statement”), which Registration Statement has been declared effective in
accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated

B. The Investor wishes to purchase from the Company, and the Company wishes to sell to the
Investor, upon the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement, 1,846,154 shares of Common Stock
at a purchase price of $6.50 per share.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Investor hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. As of the Closing (as defined below) and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Company and the Investor agree that the Investor will purchase from the Company and the Company
will issue and sell to the Investor 1,846,154 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share
(the “Shares”), of the Company for a purchase price of $6.50 per share, or an aggregate
purchase price of Twelve Million One and No/100 Dollars ($12,000,001.00) (the “Purchase
Price”).
2. The completion of the purchase and sale of the Shares shall occur at a closing (the
“Closing”) which is expected to occur at or about 7:00 a.m., Houston time, on October 3,
2008 (unless another time or date shall be agreed upon by the Company and the Investor). At the
Closing, (i) the Investor shall pay its Purchase Price to the Company for the Shares to be issued
and sold to such Investor at the Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in
accordance with the Company’s written wire instructions, and (ii) unless otherwise requested by the
Investor and agreed to by the Company, the Shares purchased by the Investor will be delivered by
electronic book-entry at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), registered in the Investor’s

execution of this Agreement by the Investor, the Investor shall direct the broker-dealer at which
the account or accounts to be credited with the Shares are maintained to set up a
deposit/withdrawal at custodian (“DWAC”) instructing the Transfer Agent to credit such account or
accounts with the Shares. The Shares shall be free of restrictive legends.
3. The offering and sale of the Shares are being made pursuant to the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus (as such terms are defined below). The Investor acknowledges that the Company
intends to enter into agreements in substantially the same form of this Agreement (and at a price
per share no less than the price per share to be paid by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement)
on or about the date hereof with certain other investors and intends to offer and sell (the
“Offering”) up to a total of 2,000,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus in the Offering, plus an additional number of shares that
may be available under an immediately effective registration statement (the “Supplemental
Registration Statement”) registering an additional number of shares equal to twenty percent
(20%) of the remaining shares under the Registration Statement at the time of the final takedown
pursuant to Rule 462(b)(3) of the Act.
4. The Company has delivered to the Investor and shall file with the Commission a prospectus
and prospectus supplement (collectively the “Prospectus”), which form a part of the
Registration Statement, reflecting the offering of the Shares in conformity with the Act, including
Rule 424(b) thereunder. The Investor agrees that such Prospectus may be delivered to it in
electronic form.
5. The Company hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants to the
Investor:
(a) The Company is an entity duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the state of Delaware, with the requisite power and authority to own and use its
properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. The Company is not in
violation of any of the provisions of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws. For purposes of
this Agreement, (i) “Subsidiary” means any Person organized in the United States in which
the Company directly or indirectly owns 50% or more of the capital stock or holds 50% or more of

consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its
obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the

necessary action on the part of the Company and no further consent or action is required by the
Company, its board of directors or its shareholders. This Agreement has been (or upon delivery
will be) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will
constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in
accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,

enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.
(c) No shareholder approval is required for the Company to enter into this Agreement or to
consummate any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the sale and issuance of the
Shares. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any Person acting on
2
its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or
solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the
Shares to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable
shareholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of
any exchange or automated quotation system on which any of the securities of the Company are listed
or designated, nor will the Company take any action or steps that would cause the Offering to be
integrated with other offerings.
(d) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the
consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i)
conflict with or violate any provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws,
(ii) subject to obtaining the Required Approvals (as defined below), conflict with, or constitute a
default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or
give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without
notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument
(evidencing a Company debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company is a party or
by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, or (iii) result in a violation
of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court
or governmental authority to which the Company is subject (including federal and state securities
laws and regulations) and the rules and regulations of any self-regulatory organization to which
the Company or its securities are subject, or by which any property or asset of the Company is
bound or affected except in each case of clause (ii) or (iii) such as would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition or
results of operations of the Company as set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
(exclusive of any amendments or supplements thereto subsequent to the Closing date) or materially
impair the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement (a “Material
Adverse Effect”)
(e) The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give
any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or
other governmental authority or other Person in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance by the Company of this Agreement, other than (i) the required filing of the Prospectus
and the Registration Statement, (ii) applicable state securities law filings, (iii) the required
filings with The Nasdaq Global Market (the “Trading Market”), and (iv) in all other cases,
where the failure to obtain such consent, waiver, authorization or order, or to give such notice or
make such filing or registration would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) collectively, the “Required Approvals”). The
Company has obtained all the Required Approvals.
(f) The Shares are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms
hereof, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances and rights of first refusal, and conform to the description of Common Stock contained
in the Prospectus, and there are no restrictions on the subsequent transfers of the Shares. Upon
receipt of the Shares, the Investor will have good and marketable title to such Shares. The
Company has reserved a sufficient number of duly authorized shares of common stock to issue all of
the Shares. At the Closing, the Shares shall have been approved for quotation on the Trading
Market.
3
(g) The Registration Statement (including any prospectus and prospectus supplement and all
information or documents incorporated by reference therein) was declared effective by the
Commission on September 15, 2006. The Registration Statement is effective on the date hereof and
the Company has not received any notice that the Commission has issued or intends to issue a
stop-order with respect to the Registration Statement or that the Commission otherwise has
suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, either temporarily or
permanently, or has threatened in writing to do so. The term “Registration Statement” as
used in this Agreement means the Registration Statement at the time it became effective and as
supplemented or amended from time to time, including all financial schedules and exhibits thereto
and all documents incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. The
Registration Statement, as of the time it was declared effective, and any amendments or supplements
thereto as of the effective date thereof, and any prospectus included therein complied, and the
Prospectus complies, as of the applicable filing date thereof, in all material respects with the
requirements of the Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and
regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”), as applicable, and none of such
Registration Statement nor any such Prospectus contains or, at the time of filing with the
Commission contained, any untrue statement of material fact or omits or, at the time of filing with
the Commission, omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. The offering, sale and issuance of the Shares to the Investor are registered under the
Act by the Registration Statement and the Supplemental Registration Statement, and no action taken
or omitted to be taken by the Company shall cause such Shares not to be freely transferable and
tradable by the Investor without restriction. The Shares are being issued as described in the
Registration Statement.
(h) The Company has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, taken, directly
or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of
the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Shares.
(i) The Company has not, in the twelve (12) months preceding the date hereof, received notice
from the Trading Market to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or
maintenance requirements thereof. The issuance and sale of the Shares hereunder complies in all
material respects with the rules or regulations of the Trading Market.
(j) Since the date of the Company’s latest audited financial statements included in the SEC
Reports (as defined below) and except as disclosed in the SEC Reports or the Registration
Statement, (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development that, individually or in the
aggregate, has had or that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
(ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade
payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements
pursuant to GAAP or required to be disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company
has not altered its method of accounting or the identity of its auditors, (iv) the Company has not
declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its shareholders or
purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or
4
redeem any shares of its capital stock, and (v) the Company has not issued any equity
securities to any officer or director, except pursuant to existing Company stock option and
employee plans.
(k) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Investor is acting solely in the capacity of
an arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
The Company further acknowledges that the Investor is not acting as a financial advisor or
fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby and that any statement made by the Investor or any of its
representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby is not advice or a recommendation and is merely incidental to the Investor’s purchase of the
Shares and has not been relied upon by the Company, its officers or directors in any way.
(l) Other than as set forth in the Prospectus, there are no legal or governmental proceedings
pending to which the Company is a party or of which property of the Company is the subject which,
if determined adversely to the Company would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect on the financial position, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of the
Company and, to the best of Company’s knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened. Neither the
Company, nor any director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any action involving a
claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of
fiduciary duty, or any criminal statute during the term of such director or officer’s tenure with
the Company, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, prior to such tenure that is of a nature that
would be required to be disclosed in the Company’s SEC Reports pursuant to Item 103 of Regulation
S-K with regard to the Company or Item 401 of Regulation S-K with regard to the Company’s officer’s
or directors. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or
contemplated, any investigation by the Commission involving the Company. The Commission has not
issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement
filed by the Company under the Exchange Act or the Act.
(m) The Company possesses all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the
appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct its
businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such certificates,
authorizations or permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect (“Material Permits”), and the Company has not received any written notice of
proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.
(n) The Company has filed all reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act,
including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two (2) years preceding the date
hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law to file such material) (the
foregoing materials, including the Company’s proxy statements on Schedule 14A, being collectively
referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) on a timely basis or has received a valid
extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any
such extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects
with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of
the Commission promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
5
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company
included in the SEC Reports, as subsequently amended, comply in all material respects with
applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect
thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in all
material respects in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied
on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise
specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial
statements may not contain footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects
the financial position of the Company as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations
and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal,
year-end audit adjustments.
(o) The Company has, or has rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks,
trademark applications, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other similar rights
(collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”) that are necessary or material for use
in connection with its business as described in the SEC Reports and the Registration Statement and
which the failure to so have would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company has not received a written notice that
the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company violates or infringes upon the rights of any
Person, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. To
the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no
existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights, except as would
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(p) The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide
reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain
asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s
general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with
the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
differences.
(q) The Company shall not and shall cause each Person acting on behalf of the Company not to
divulge to the Investor any information that it believes to be material, nonpublic information
unless the Investor has agreed in writing to receive such information prior to such divulgence;
provided, that the Company or Persons acting on behalf of the Company may divulge to the Investor
material, nonpublic information if such information is subsequently disclosed by the Company in the
manner described in Section 5(r).
(r) The Company shall (i) before the Trading Market opens on the next trading day after the
date hereof, issue a press release, disclosing all material aspects of the transactions
contemplated hereby and (ii) on or before 8:00 p.m., New York City Time, on the first business day
following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall file a Current Report on
Form 8-K, describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by this
6
Agreement in the form required by the Exchange Act, and attaching the form of this Agreement
as an exhibit to such filing (including all attachments, the “8-K Filing”). The Company shall not
identify the Investor by name in any press release or public filing, or otherwise publicly disclose
the Investor’s name, without the Investor’s prior, written consent, unless disclosure of the
Investor’s name is required by law.
6. The Investor hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants to the
Company:
(a) The Investor is purchasing the Shares for its own account, in the ordinary course of its
business and the Investor has no arrangement with any Person to participate in the distribution of
the Shares. The Investor represents that it has received the Prospectus prior to or in connection
with its receipt of this Agreement. In connection with its decision to purchase the Shares, the
Investor has relied only upon the Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein,
the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and its own investigation, if
any, of the Company (provided that no such investigation shall affect the Investor’s right to rely
upon the Prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference therein and the representations and
warranties of the Company contained herein).
(b) The Investor, together with its affiliates (as that term is defined under Rule 405 of the
Act), has not, prior to the date of this Agreement, sold, offered to sell, solicited offers to buy,
disposed of, loaned, pledged or granted any right with respect to (collectively, a
“Disposition”), the Shares purchased in the Offering. Such prohibited sales or other
transactions would include, without limitation, effecting any short sale or having in effect any
short position (whether or not such sale or position is against the box and regardless of when such
position was entered into) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without
limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the Shares purchased in the offering made by
the Prospectus.
(c) If previously requested by the Company, the Investor has furnished to the Company accurate
and complete information regarding any transactions taking a short or long position in the
Company’s common stock or any derivatives thereof made by the Investor, together with its
affiliates (as that term is defined under Rule 405 of the Act), during the three (3) months
preceding the date hereof. If the Company determines that the Investor or any of its affiliates
(as previously defined) used any of the Shares to cover any short positions that were entered into
during such three-month period by the Investor or such affiliates, the Investor agrees to pay to
the Company the entire amount it received as profit in covering such short position and any fees
and expenses incurred by the Company in making such determination.
(d) The Investor shall not issue any press release or make any other public announcement
relating to this Agreement unless (i) the content thereof is mutually agreed to by the Company and
the Investor, or (ii) the Investor is advised by its counsel that such press release or public
announcement is required by law. The Investor will timely make all required filings and
disclosures relating to the Investor’s purchase of the Shares as may be required under the Exchange
Act, if any.
7
(e) The Investor has the requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its
obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Investor and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereunder have been duly authorized by all
necessary action on the part of the Investor. This Agreement has been duly executed by the
Investor and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and
binding obligation of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms,
except as may be limited by any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent
transfer, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally or by general principles of equity.
(f) The Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented
to the Investor in connection with the purchase or sale of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or
investment advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax or investment advisors as it, in its
sole discretion, deems necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Shares.
7. Performance of the parties’ respective obligations hereunder shall be subject to the
following conditions:
(a) The Investor’s obligation to purchase the Shares will be subject to the accuracy of the
representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 5 hereof as of the Closing.
(b) The Company’s obligation to sell and issue to the Investor the Shares will be subject to
the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Investor in Section 6 hereof as of
the Closing.
8. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8, the Company will indemnify and hold the
Investor and its directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees and agents (each,
an “Investor Party”) harmless from (a) any and all losses, liabilities, obligations,
claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in
settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such
Investor Party may suffer or incur (the “Indemnified Liabilities”) as a result of or
relating to any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by
the Company in this Agreement and (b) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against
such Investor Party by a non-governmental third party (including for these purposes a derivative
action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from the execution,
delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement other than as a result of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Investor. The Company shall not be liable to any Investor
under this provision in respect of any Indemnified Liability if such liability arises out of any
misrepresentation by the Investor in Section 6 of this Agreement or actions taken by such Investor
otherwise than as explicitly set forth herein. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the
Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the
payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under
applicable law. If any action shall be brought against any Investor Party in respect of which
indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Investor Party shall promptly notify the
Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel
of its own choosing. Any Investor Party shall have the
8
right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof (it
being understood, however, that the Company shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one
separate counsel (other than local counsel), reasonably approved by the Company), but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Investor Party except to the extent that
(i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the
Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel
or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material
conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such
Investor Party. The Company will not be liable to any Investor Party under this Section 8 for any
settlement by an Investor Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent
of the Investor Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other
compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to such Investor Party of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified
Liabilities or litigation. The indemnification required by this Section shall be made by periodic
payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills
are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.
9. The Company shall pay on demand all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Investor,
including reasonable legal fees and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution and
delivery of this Agreement up to a maximum aggregate amount equal to 0.15% of the Purchase Price.
10. Effective upon the Closing, the Company shall amend its Standstill Agreement with the
Investor dated January 9, 2008 (as amended to the date of this Agreement, the “Standstill
Agreement”) to (i) increase the percentage ownership interest permitted to be owned by the
Investor under such Standstill Agreement from 33% to 40% and (ii) permit the Investor to designate
two members of the Company’s Board of Directors instead of one. In addition, the Company shall
amend its Rights Agreement with Computershare Trust Company, N.A. dated September 1, 1999 (as
amended to the date of this Agreement, the “Rights Agreement”) to increase the percentage
ownership interest permitted to be owned by the Investor under the Rights Agreement from 33% to
40%. The amendment to the Rights Agreement required by this Section 10 shall be completed as soon
as is reasonably practicable following the closing of this Agreement.
11. Effective upon the Closing, the Company shall cause the Board of Directors to appoint Xxxx
Xxxxx and Xxxx X. Xxxx, M.D., Ph.D. as directors of the Company to be the Investor’s designated
directors under the Standstill Agreement.
12. Right of First Offer.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 12, the Company hereby
grants to the Investor a right of first offer with respect to that percentage of future sales by
the Company of its Equity Securities (as hereinafter defined) that equals the Pro Rata Percentage
(as defined below) at any time from the date hereof through September 29, 2010. “Pro Rata
Percentage” means that percentage of the Company’s Equity Securities beneficially owned by the
Investor on a fully diluted basis on the date hereof. The Company’s
9
Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may increase such amount to up to 100% of such
future sales. For purposes of this Section 12, the “Investor” includes any general partners and
affiliates of the Investor and the Investor shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer
hereby granted it among itself, its partners and affiliates in such proportions as it deems
appropriate.
(b) Each time the Company proposes to offer or issue any shares of, or securities convertible
into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of, any class of its capital stock (the
“Equity Securities”) to any Person or group of Persons, the Company shall first offer such
Equity Securities to the Investor in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) The Company shall deliver a notice (the “Notice”) to the Investor stating
(A) its bona fide intention to offer or issue such Equity Securities, (B) the number of such
Equity Securities to be offered or issued, (C) the price and terms upon which it proposes to
offer or issue such Equity Securities and (D) the identity of the proposed purchasers of
such Equity Securities if known;
(ii) By written notification received by the Company within five (5) calendar days
after receipt of the Notice by the Investor (the “Notice Period”), the Investor may
elect to purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice, all or any portion
of the Pro Rata Percentage of the Equity Securities being offered; and
(iii) If the Investor does not elect to purchase the Pro Rata Percentage of the Equity
Securities being offered, the Company may, during the sixty (60) day period following the
expiration of the Notice Period, offer all of the remaining unsubscribed portion of such
Equity Securities to any Person or group of Persons at a price not less than 90% of, and
upon terms that are materially no more favorable to the offeree than, those specified in the
Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the Equity
Securities within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30)
days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived
with respect to such Pro Rata Percentage of the Equity Securities and such Equity Securities
shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Investor in accordance herewith.
(c) The right of first offer in this Section 12 shall not be applicable to:
(i) the issuance of Equity Securities pursuant to a split or subdivision of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled
to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or
other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive
directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation,
under the Company’s stockholder rights plan (hereinafter referred to as “Common Stock
Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof);
10
(ii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or options therefor to employees,
consultants, officers, or directors of the Company directly or pursuant to a
stock option plan or restricted stock purchase plan in each case approved by the Board
of Directors of the Company (or the compensation committee thereof);
(iii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion or exercise of
convertible or exercisable securities outstanding as of the date hereof or subsequently
issued after compliance with this Section 12;
(iv) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of any class of the Company’s capital stock in
connection with a bona fide business acquisition of or by the Company, whether by merger,
consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock or otherwise, each as approved by
the Board of Directors of the Company;
(v) the issuance of securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any
shares of any class of the Company’s capital stock in connection with a debt financing by
the Company; or
(vi) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of any class of the Company’s capital stock in
connection with a corporate collaboration or partnering agreement or arrangement, including
but not limited to a licensing arrangement relating to one or more of the Company’s product
candidates.
13. Purchase Option.
(a) From such time as the Company has less than $10 million in cash and cash equivalents (as
reflected on the Company’s regularly prepared balance sheet) until September 29, 2009, the Investor
shall have the right to purchase (the “Purchase Option”) up to Seven Million Five Hundred
Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($7,500,000) of additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the
“Purchase Option Shares”) at a per share price equal to the greater of (i) the Fair Market
Value (as hereinafter defined) of a share of the Company’s Common Stock or (ii) 120% of the price
per share paid under this Agreement (the “Exercise Price”) by delivering written notice of
such election to the Company (the “Purchase Notice”). The Purchase Notice shall specify the
total dollar amount of shares that the Investor is electing to purchase and the proposed closing
date (the “Purchase Option Closing”). The Purchase Option may be exercised in whole or in
part from time to time starting with such date that the Company has less than $10 million in cash
and cash equivalents (as reflected on the Company’s regularly prepared balance sheet). The
Purchase Option Closing shall be effected in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement applicable to the Closing and the term “Shares” as used herein shall thereafter refer to
the Purchase Option Shares as well as the Shares, except that the representations and warranties
contained in this Agreement shall be made by the Company as of the date of the Purchase Option
Closing except for any matters that are required to be disclosed as a result of new developments
that occur from the time of this Agreement to the time that such new representations and warranties
are made. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Fair Market Value” shall mean:
11
(i) if the Company’s Common Stock is traded on a securities exchange (including any
Nasdaq market), the Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing
prices of a share of Common Stock on such exchange over the thirty (30) day period
immediately prior to the date of the Purchase Option Notice;
(ii) if the Company’s Common Stock is traded over-the-counter, the Fair Market Value
shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is
applicable) of a share of Common Stock over the thirty (30) day period immediately prior to
the date of the Purchase Option Notice; and
(iii) if there is no active public market for the Company’s Common Stock, the fair
market value shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith.
(b) Promptly following the Closing, and in no event later than 30 days following the Closing,
the Company shall file an additional shelf registration statement (the “Additional Registration
Statement”) on Form S-3 registering a sufficient number of shares to permit the sale and
issuance of the Purchase Option Shares based on the then current Fair Market Value of the Company’s
Common Stock, and shall use its best efforts to cause such Additional Registration Statement to be
declared effective as soon as possible. In addition, with respect to the Additional Registration
Statement, the Company shall:
(i) keep such registration statement effective until all such Purchase Option Shares
are sold;
(ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such
Additional Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Additional
Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Act with
respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Additional Registration
Statement;
(iii) furnish to the Investor (A) a draft copy of the Additional Registration
Statement, and (B) such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary
prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents as it
may reasonably request;
(iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered
by such Additional Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of
such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Investor, provided that the
Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify
to do business, where not otherwise required, or to file a general consent to service of
process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to
service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Act;
(v) notify the Investor of (1) the issuance of any stop order by the Commission in
respect of such Additional Registration Statement, or (2) the happening of any event as a
result of which the prospectus included in such Additional Registration Statement, as then
in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;
12
(vi) cause all such Purchase Option Shares registered pursuant to the Additional
Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities
issued by the Company are then listed; and
(vii) provide a transfer agent and registrar and a CUSIP number for all Purchase Option
Shares registered pursuant to the Additional Registration Statement, in each case not later
than the effective date of such registration.
(c) All expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with
registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation,
all registration, filing and qualification fees (including “blue sky” fees), printers’ and
accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the reasonable fees and
disbursements of one counsel for the Investor not to exceed $25,000, shall be borne by the Company.
(d) In the event that the aggregate number of Purchase Option Shares with respect to which the
Investor delivers a Purchase Notice exceeds the number of shares registered on the Additional
Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly, and in no event later than 30 days following
the receipt of the Purchase Option Notice, file an additional shelf registration statement (the
“Supplemental Additional Registration Statement”) registering such unregistered Purchase
Option Shares and shall use its best efforts to cause such Supplemental Additional Registration
Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible. The Supplemental Additional Registration
Statement shall be deemed an Additional Registration Statement for the purposes of Sections 13(b)
and 13(c) hereof and the Company shall comply with all obligations and requirements imposed by such
Sections with regard to the Supplemental Additional Registration Statement.
14. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws
of the State of Texas, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law.
15. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute
an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument, and shall
become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party hereto and delivered
(including by facsimile or other form of electronic transmission) to the other party.
16. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision
of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
17. This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between the Investor,
the Company, their affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters
discussed herein, and this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and, except as
13
specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor the Investor makes any
representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of
this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented other than by an instrument in writing
signed by the Company and the Investor.
18. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given
under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered:
(i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile
(provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept

14
20. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts

22. The obligations of the Investor hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations
of any other investor in the Company and the Investor shall not be responsible in any way for the

by its own legal counsel, and the decision of the Investor to purchase the Securities pursuant to
this Agreement has been made by the Investor independently of any other investor and independently
of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations,
assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or

employee of any other investor, and neither the Investor nor any of its agents or employees shall
have any liability to any other investor (or any other person or entity) relating to or arising
from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein, and no
action taken by Investor pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investor and any other
investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create
a presumption that they are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such
obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Investor shall be entitled to
independently protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of this Agreement,
and it shall not be necessary for any other investor to be joined as an additional party in any
proceeding for such purpose.
