PURCHASE OPTION AGREEMENT
PURCHASE OPTION AGREEMENT
This AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into
as of July 2, 2009 (the “Closing Date”), by and among OXiGENE, INC., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), SYMPHONY ViDA HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“Holdings”), and SYMPHONY ViDA, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Symphony
Collaboration”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in Annex A attached hereto.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
WHEREAS, the Company, Holdings and the Symphony Collaboration entered into that certain
Purchase Option Agreement dated as of October 1, 2008 (the “Original Agreement”), pursuant
to which Holdings granted the Company an option to purchase all of the Common Stock of the Symphony
Collaboration and any other Equity Securities issued by the Symphony Collaboration (together, the
“Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities”) owned, or thereafter acquired, by Holdings on
the terms described therein;
WHEREAS, institutional investors invested $30,000,000 in Holdings (the “Financing”) in
exchange for (i) membership interests in Holdings, (ii) shares of the Company Common Stock having a
market value of up to $15,000,000 issued to Holdings (the “Direct Investment Shares”),
(iii) a warrant to purchase Company Common Stock issued to Holdings (the “Warrant Shares”)
having a market value of up to $15,000,000 less the value of the Direct Investment Shares (the
“Direct Investment Warrant”), (iv) shares of the Company Common Stock having a market value
of $4,000,000 (the “Option Premium Shares”), and (v) other consideration as contemplated by
the terms of the Additional Funding Agreement, and Holdings contributed $15,000,000 of the proceeds
of the Financing to the Symphony Collaboration and paid $15,000,000 of the proceeds of the
Financing to the Company;
WHEREAS, the parties to the Original Agreement desire to amend and restate the Original
Agreement and accept the rights and covenants hereof in lieu of their rights and covenants under
the Original Agreement;
WHEREAS, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Company has exercised the
Purchase Option (as defined below) by delivering the Purchase Option Exercise Notice (as defined
below) to Holdings and the Symphony Collaboration;
WHEREAS, on the Purchase Option Closing Date, the Company will issue to Holdings, subject to
the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company Closing Shares (as defined below); and
WHEREAS, the Company, the Symphony Collaboration and Holdings have determined that it is in
each of its best interest to perform and comply with certain agreements and covenants relating to
each of its ongoing operations contained in this
Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
(the “Parties”) agree as follows:
Section 1. Grant of Purchase Option.
(a) Holdings hereby grants to the Company an exclusive irrevocable option (the “Purchase
Option”) to purchase all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Symphony Collaboration
Equity Securities owned or hereafter acquired by Holdings, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(b) The Symphony Collaboration hereby covenants and agrees that all Symphony Collaboration
Equity Securities issued by the Symphony Collaboration at any time prior to the expiration of the
Term (including to Holdings, on, prior to, or after the date hereof or to any other Person at any
time whatsoever, in all cases prior to the expiration of the Term) shall be subject to the Purchase
Option and all of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement without any additional action on
the part of the Company or Holdings. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Symphony
Collaboration shall issue any Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities (including any issuance in
respect of a transfer of Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities by any holder thereof, including
Holdings) after the date hereof to any Person (including Holdings) (any issuance of such Symphony
Collaboration Equity Securities being subject to the prior written consent of the Company as set
forth in Sections 5(c) and 7(b) hereof, as applicable), the Symphony Collaboration
hereby covenants and agrees that it shall cause such Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities to be
subject to the Purchase Option without the payment of, or any obligation to pay, any additional
consideration in respect of such Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities by the Company, the
Symphony Collaboration or any Symphony Collaboration Subsidiary to the Person(s) acquiring such
subsequently issued Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities, the Parties acknowledging and
agreeing that the sole consideration payable by the Company pursuant to this Agreement for all of
the outstanding Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities now or hereinafter owned by any Person
shall be the Purchase Price (as defined in Section 2(b) hereof).
(c) The Company’s right to exercise the Purchase Option granted hereby is subject to the
following conditions:
(i) The Purchase Option may only be exercised for the purchase of all, and not less than all,
of the Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities;
(ii) The Purchase Option may only be exercised a single time; and
(iii) The Purchase Option may be exercised only on the date hereof.
2
Section 2. Exercise of Purchase Option.
(a) Exercise Notice. The Company may exercise the Purchase Option only by delivery of
a notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the “Purchase Option Exercise
Notice”) on the date hereof. The Purchase Option Exercise Notice shall be delivered to
Holdings and the Symphony Collaboration and shall be irrevocable once delivered. The date on which
the Purchase Option Exercise Notice is first delivered to Holdings and the Symphony Collaboration
is referred to as the “Purchase Option Exercise Date.” The Purchase Option Exercise Notice
shall contain an estimated date for the settlement of the Purchase Option (the “Purchase Option
Closing”), which date shall be estimated in accordance with this Section 2(a). If,
during the period following the delivery of the Purchase Option Exercise Notice, the working
capital held by the Symphony Collaboration is less than or equal to the Balance Sheet Deficiency
Threshold, then the Symphony Collaboration shall cease payment of any amounts owed to the Company
in respect of its activities pursuant to the Amended and Restated Research and Development
Agreement, but shall continue to pay amounts owed to all other Persons. All cash and cash
equivalents on the Symphony Collaboration’s balance sheet on the date of the Purchase Option
Closing (the “Purchase Option Closing Date”) will not be transferred or distributed to
Holdings and shall be retained by the Symphony Collaboration. The Purchase Option Closing Date
shall be the date that is the latest of:
(i) thirty (30) days following the Purchase Option Exercise Date; and
(ii) five (5) Business Days following the date that the Company receives the necessary
Government Approvals related to its HSR Filings (if any) related to the exercise of the Purchase
Option; provided, however, that the Company and Holdings shall make all necessary HSR Filings
within five (5) Business Days following the Purchase Option Exercise Date and shall promptly and
diligently pursue the related regulatory process.
(b) Purchase Price. Subject to the post-closing adjustment pursuant to Section
2B and the following sentence, as consideration for the sale to the Company by Holdings of its
Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities, on the Purchase Option Closing Date, the Company shall
issue to Holdings an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company
Closing Shares”) for an equivalent value of $12,480,000 (such value, the “Purchase
Price”). If, after the date hereof and prior to the Purchase Option Closing, (A) the number of
outstanding shares of Company Common Stock has been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged
for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization,
recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in
capitalization, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the number of Company
Closing Shares to be issued at the Purchase Option Closing, or (B) there has been a Specified
Company Issuance (as defined below), the consideration to be paid by the Company at the Purchase
Option Closing may be adjusted in accordance with Section 2A.
3
(c) [Reserved.]
(d) Surrender of Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities; Symphony Collaboration
Board. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Purchase Option Closing
Date, Holdings shall surrender to the Company its certificates representing its Symphony
Collaboration Equity Securities, and shall convey good title to such Symphony Collaboration Equity
Securities, free from any Encumbrances and from any and all restrictions that any sale, assignment
or other transfer of such Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities be consented to or approved by
any Person. On or prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date, Holdings shall remove all directors
serving on the Symphony Collaboration Board, other than the Company Director (as defined in
Section 4(b)(v) hereof), as of the Purchase Option Closing Date.
(e) Valuation of Company Stock. The value per share of the Company Closing Shares as
of the date hereof has been determined by the Parties to equal $2.08 (the “Company Common Stock
Valuation”).
(f) Share Certificates. Any stock certificate(s) issued by the Company for Company
Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2 may contain a legend (the “33 Act Legend”)
substantially as follows:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND
THE SAME HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED,
PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SUCH
SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.
This legend shall be removed by the Company, subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of
Section 3(b)(iii) hereof.
(g) Government Approvals. On or prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date, each of
the Company, the Symphony Collaboration and Holdings shall have taken all necessary action to cause
all required Governmental Approvals with respect to such Party (including, without limitation, the
preparing and filing of any pre-merger notification and report forms required under the HSR
Filings) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be in effect;
provided, however, that with respect to Government Approvals required by a
Governmental Authority other than the United States federal government and its various branches and
agencies, the Parties’ obligations under this Section 2(g) shall be limited to causing to
be in effect only those Government Approvals, the failure of which to be in effect would, either
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on any
of the Parties. Each of the Symphony Collaboration and the Company shall pay its own costs
4
associated with taking such action. The Symphony Collaboration shall pay any costs of
Holdings associated with obtaining Government Approvals required in connection with the exercise of
the Purchase Option. All other costs and expenses of Holdings shall be paid by Holdings pursuant
to Section 8 hereof, including any costs arising from any error in Holdings’ initial
valuation of its investment in the Symphony Collaboration.
(h) Transfer of Title. Transfer of title to the Company of all of the Symphony
Collaboration Equity Securities shall be deemed to occur automatically on the Purchase Option
Closing Date, subject to the issuance by the Company on such date of the Company Closing Shares or
Alternate Closing Securities, as applicable, comprising the Purchase Price and its performance of
its other obligations herein required to be performed, and under the Registration Rights Agreement,
as applicable, on or prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date to the reasonable satisfaction of
Holdings, and thereafter the Symphony Collaboration shall treat the Company as the sole holder of
all Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities, notwithstanding any failure of Holdings to tender
certificates representing such shares to the Company in accordance with Section 2(d)
hereof. After the Purchase Option Closing Date, Holdings shall have no rights in connection with
such Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities other than the right to receive the Purchase Price;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2(h) shall affect the
survivability of any indemnification provision in this Agreement upon termination of this
Agreement.
(i) Consents and Authorizations. On or prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date, the
Company shall have obtained all consents and authorizations necessary from stockholders and/or its
board of directors for the consummation of the exercise and closing of the Purchase Option, as may
be required under the organizational documents of the Company, any prior stockholders or board
resolution, any stock exchange or similar rules or any applicable law.
Section 2A. Purchase Option Closing Date Adjustment. If at any time or from time to
time from and after the date hereof through the Purchase Option Closing Date, the Company has
issued Additional Company Securities (any such issuance of Additional Company Securities, a
“Specified Company Issuance”), Holdings may elect (in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Section 2B) to be paid the Purchase Price in the form of the Alternate Securities
specified in the Specified Issuance Notice (each as defined below) (such Alternate Securities paid
to Holdings at the Purchase Option Closing, the “Alternate Closing Securities”).
Section 2B. Post-Closing Adjustment.
(a) If at any time and from time to time from and after the Purchase Option Closing Date
through the date occurring six (6) months from the Purchase Option Closing Date (or if such date is
not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter) (such date, the “Final Adjustment
Date”), there is a Specified Company Issuance, as soon as practicable, but in no event later
than five (5) Business Days after the delivery to the Company of a Holdings Election Notice (as
defined below) (such date, the
5
“Adjusted Securities Payment Date”), (i) the Company shall issue to Holdings such
Alternate Securities in the form specified in the Specified Issuance Notice, and (ii) Holdings
shall deliver to the Company such Company Closing Shares, Alternate Closing Securities, or other
securities of the Company issued pursuant to this Agreement, or other consideration transferred to
Holdings, as applicable, such that on the Adjusted Securities Payment Date Holdings shall own
Alternate Securities, together with all other securities of the Company issued, or other
consideration transferred, to Holdings pursuant to this Agreement, to which Holdings is entitled in
consideration of the transfer to the Company of the Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities. The
foregoing described transactions between the Company and Holdings shall be settled on a net basis.
For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Holdings may exercise its
rights under this Section 2B(a) following each Specified Company Issuance that occurs after
the date of this Agreement and on or prior to the Final Adjustment Date.
(b) Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the consummation of a Specified Company
Issuance, the Company shall, in accordance with Section 13, deliver to Holdings a notice (a
“Specified Issuance Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail: (i) a description of the
form and terms of the Additional Company Securities to be issued pursuant to the Specified Company
Issuance (such Additional Company Securities, the “Alternate Securities”); (ii) the price
at which the Alternate Securities will be issued pursuant to the Specified Company Issuance; (iii)
the estimated date of issuance of such Alternate Securities; and (iv) the amount and form of
Alternate Securities that would be issued to an investor participating in the Specified Company
Issuance upon payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Purchase Price. If Holdings elects
to exercise its rights under Section 2B(a) with respect to a Specified Company Issuance,
Holdings, in accordance with Section 13, shall deliver to the Company a notice of such
election not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the consummation of such Specified Company
Issuance (the “Holdings Election Notice”). The failure of Holdings to notify the Company
pursuant to this Section 2B(b) shall be deemed to constitute the waiver by Holdings of its
rights under Section 2B(a) with respect to such Specified Company Issuance.
(c) “Additional Company Securities” shall mean all shares of Company Common Stock,
Options, Convertible Securities, notes, bonds, or any other securities issued by the Company, or
cash or other consideration paid or delivered by or on behalf of the Company, other than the
following (collectively, “Exempted Securities”):
(i) rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Company Common
Stock (“Options”), or shares of restricted stock or stock appreciation rights, issued to
employees or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries
pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the board of directors of the Company;
(ii) (1) shares of Company Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of Options or
(2) shares of Company Common Stock actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of any evidences
of indebtedness, shares or other
6
securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Company Common Stock,
but excluding Options (“Convertible Securities”), in each case provided such issuance is
pursuant to the terms of such Option or Convertible Security;
(iii) shares of Company Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued by reason of a
dividend on the outstanding Company Common Stock, stock split of the outstanding Company Common
Stock, split-up of the outstanding Company Common Stock or other distribution on shares of Company
Common Stock; or
(iv) shares of Company Common Stock issued pursuant to the Company’s Committed Equity
Financing Facility with Kingsbridge Capital Limited, in an amount not to exceed 5,000,000 shares.
Section 2C. In the event that the approval of the stockholders of the Company is required
under applicable Laws or the NASDAQ Rules to issue shares of Company Common Stock to Holdings
pursuant to this Agreement (including through the exercise of warrants or other convertible
securities), the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issued to Holdings pursuant to
this Agreement (including through the exercise of warrants or other convertible securities) shall
be limited to 10,000,000 (ten million) (the “Share Limitation”), unless otherwise agreed by
the Company. In the event that Holdings would be entitled (but for the Share Limitation) to a
number of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement in excess of the Share
Limitation, then in exercising its rights under Sections 2A and/or 2B, Holdings may
determine, in its sole discretion, such combination of shares of Company Common Stock and, if any,
Alternate Securities as would, in Holdings’ sole determination, provide value to Holdings at the
time of determination not in excess of the Purchase Price (the “Alternate Consideration”).
The Company shall then transfer the Alternate Consideration to Holdings in satisfaction of its
obligations under Sections 2A and/or 2B.
Section 3. Company Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
(a) As of the date hereof, the Company hereby represents and warrants, and, except to the
extent that any of the following representations and warranties are limited to the date of this

reasonable opportunity to conduct its own due diligence with respect to the Products, the
Programs, the Symphony Collaboration, the Company and the transactions contemplated by the
Operative Documents.
(C) Holdings has been advised and understands that the offer and sale of the Company

loss thereof.
(D) Holdings is and will be, as applicable, acquiring the Company Securities and, if

earlier to occur of (x) the Purchase Option Closing Date, and (y) the termination of this Agreement
pursuant to Sections 9(a)(i) or (ii) (such period, the “Term”), the manager
of Holdings shall not (A) transfer, or permit the transfer of, any Membership Interest without the
prior written consent of the Company or (B) amend, or permit the amendment of, any provisions
relating to the transfer of Membership Interests, as set forth in Section 7.02 of the

13
amendment would adversely affect the Company’s right of consent set forth in
Sections 7.02(b)(i) and 7.02(c) of the Holdings LLC Agreement.
(v) Symphony Collaboration Directors. During the Term, Holdings agrees to vote all of
its Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities (or to exercise its right with respect to such
Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities to consent to action in writing without a meeting) in
favor of, as applicable, the election, removal and replacement of one director of the Symphony
Collaboration Board, and any successor thereto, designated by the Company (the “Company
Director”) as directed by the Company. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing,
Holdings hereby grants to the Company an irrevocable proxy, with respect to all Symphony
Collaboration Equity Securities now owned or hereafter acquired by Holdings, to vote such Symphony
Collaboration Equity Securities or to exercise the right to consent to action in writing without a
meeting with respect to such Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities, such irrevocable proxy to be
exercised solely for the limited purpose of electing, removing and replacing the Company Director
in the event of the failure or refusal of Holdings to elect, remove or replace such Company
Director, as directed by the Company. Additionally, Holdings agrees, during the Term, to elect two
(2) independent directors to the Symphony Collaboration Board, and any successors thereto, as shall
be selected by mutual agreement of the Company and Holdings.

any Encumbrance on any of the assets or properties of the Symphony Collaboration, pursuant to, any
note, bond, mortgage or indenture, contract, agreement, lease, sublease, license, permit, franchise
or other instrument or arrangement to which the Symphony Collaboration is a party except, in the
case of clauses (B) and (C), to the extent that such conflicts, breaches, defaults
or other matters would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on the Symphony Collaboration.
(iv) Governmental Consents and Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement by the Symphony Collaboration do not, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby do not and will not, require any Governmental Approval which has not already
been obtained, effected or provided, except with respect to which the failure to so obtain, effect
or provide would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Symphony Collaboration.
(v) Litigation. There are no actions by or against the Symphony Collaboration pending
before any Governmental Authority or, to the knowledge of the Symphony Collaboration, threatened to
be brought by or before any Governmental Authority that would, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Symphony Collaboration. There are
no pending or, to the knowledge of the Symphony Collaboration, threatened actions to which the
Symphony Collaboration is a party (or is threatened to be named as a party) to set aside, restrain,
enjoin or prevent the execution, delivery or performance of this
15
Agreement or the Operative Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby by any party hereto or thereto. The Symphony Collaboration is not subject to any
Governmental Order (nor, to the knowledge of the Symphony Collaboration, is there any such
Governmental Order threatened to be imposed by any Governmental Authority) that would, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Symphony
Collaboration.

call rights, commitments or agreements of any character to acquire any Symphony Collaboration
Equity Securities. There are no outstanding stock appreciation, phantom stock, profit
participation or other similar rights with respect to the Symphony Collaboration. The Symphony
Collaboration is not obligated to redeem or otherwise acquire any of its outstanding Symphony

(i) The Symphony Collaboration will comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or
regulations to which it is subject and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses,
certificates, permits, franchises and other Governmental Approvals necessary to the ownership of
its properties or to the conduct of its business, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure
that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to
obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other
Governmental Approvals would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect on the Symphony Collaboration.
16
(ii) The Symphony Collaboration will file (or cause to be filed) all material tax returns
required to be filed by it and pay all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all

provided, that the Symphony Collaboration need not file any such tax returns or pay any
such tax or claims if (A) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the
Symphony Collaboration on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the
Symphony Collaboration has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the
books of the Symphony Collaboration or (B) the failure to file such tax returns or the nonpayment
of such taxes and assessments, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Symphony Collaboration.

provided, that neither the Symphony Collaboration, nor the Manager acting on behalf of the

the transactions contemplated hereby, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing
within three (3) Business Days of acquiring such Knowledge; provided, that neither the
provision of nor the failure to provide such notice shall impair or otherwise be deemed a waiver of

breach of any of the Operative Documents.

respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, partners, members, successors,
assigns, representatives of, and each Person, if any (including any officers, directors, employees,
agents, partners, members of such Person) who controls Holdings, the Symphony Collaboration and the
Company, as applicable, within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an
“Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits,
claims, losses, costs, interest, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection
therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnified Party is a party to the action for which
indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements
(hereinafter, a “Loss”), incurred by any Indemnified Party to the extent resulting from,
arising out of, or relating to: (i) in the case of the Company being the Indemnifying Party,
(A) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company herein or in
Section 5.1 of the Novated and Restated
25
Technology License Agreement, or (B) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of
the Company contained herein, and (ii) in the case of Holdings being the Indemnifying Party,
(A) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Holdings or the Symphony Collaboration
herein, or (B) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Holdings or the Symphony
Collaboration contained herein. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company or
Holdings may be unenforceable for any reason, such Party shall make the maximum contribution to the
payment and satisfaction of any Loss that is permissible under applicable law.
(c) Notice of Claims. Any Indemnified Party that proposes to assert a right to be
indemnified under this Section 10 shall notify the Company or Holdings, as applicable (the
“Indemnifying Party”), promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit
or proceeding against such Indemnified Party (an “Indemnified Proceeding”) in respect of
which a claim is to be made under this Section 10, or the incurrence or realization of any
Loss in respect of which a claim is to be made under this Section 10, of the commencement
of such Indemnified Proceeding or of such incurrence or realization, enclosing a copy of all
relevant documents, including all papers served and claims made, but the omission to so notify the
applicable Indemnifying Party promptly of any such Indemnified Proceeding or incurrence or
realization shall not relieve (x) such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to
such Indemnified Party under this Section 10 or otherwise, except, as to such Indemnifying
Party’s liability under this Section 10, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such
Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced by such omission, or (y) any other indemnitor from
liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party under the Operative Documents.
(d) Defense of Proceedings. In case any Indemnified Proceeding shall be brought
against any Indemnified Party, it shall notify the applicable Indemnifying Party of the
commencement thereof as provided in Section 10(c), and such Indemnifying Party shall be
entitled to participate in, and provided such Indemnified Proceeding involves a claim solely for
money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified
Party and is not a criminal or regulatory action, to assume the defense of, such Indemnified
Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. After notice from such
Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of such Indemnifying Party’s election so to assume the
defense thereof and the failure by such Indemnified Party to object to such counsel within five (5)
Business Days following its receipt of such notice, such Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to
such Indemnified Party for legal or other expenses related to such Indemnified Proceedings incurred
after such notice of election to assume such defense except as provided below and except for the
reasonable costs of investigating, monitoring or cooperating in such defense subsequently incurred
by such Indemnified Party reasonably necessary in connection with the defense thereof. Such
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such Indemnified
Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified
Party unless:
26
(i) the employment of counsel by such Indemnified Party at the expense of the applicable
Indemnifying Party has been authorized in writing by such Indemnifying Party;
(ii) such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded in its good faith (which
conclusion shall be determinative unless a court determines that such conclusion was not reached
reasonably and in good faith) that there is or may be a conflict of interest between the applicable
Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party in the conduct of the defense of such Indemnified
Proceeding or that there are or may be one or more different or additional defenses, claims,
counterclaims, or causes of action available to such Indemnified Party (it being agreed that in any
case referred to in this clause (ii) such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to
direct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party);
(iii) the applicable Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding within a reasonable
time after notice of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that (A) this
clause (iii) shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any conflict of interest that
may arise with respect to any such counsel, and (B) an Indemnified Party may not invoke this
clause (iii) if such Indemnified Party failed to timely object to such counsel pursuant to
the first paragraph of this Section 10(d) above (it being agreed that in any case referred
to in this clause (iii) such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the
defense of such Indemnified Proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party); or
(iv) any counsel employed by the applicable Indemnifying Party shall fail to timely commence
or reasonably conduct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding and such failure has prejudiced
(or is in immediate danger of prejudicing) the outcome of such Indemnified Proceeding (it being
agreed that in any case referred to in this clause (iv) such Indemnifying Party shall not
have the right to direct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified
Party);
in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for such Indemnified Party shall
be at the expense of such Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Person shall be responsible for the
reasonable fees and expenses of only one counsel retained by all Indemnified Parties with respect
to any Indemnified Proceeding, and any additional counsel shall be retained at the expense of such
Indemnified Party, unless counsel for any Indemnified Party reasonably concludes in good faith
(which conclusion shall be determinative unless a court determines that such conclusion was not
reached reasonably and in good faith) that there is or may be a conflict of interest between such
Indemnified Party and one or more other Indemnified Parties in the conduct of the defense of such
Indemnified, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and
expenses of such additional counsel.
(e) Settlement. Without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party, such
Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment in, any
pending or threatened Indemnified Proceeding, unless
27
such settlement, compromise, consent or related judgment (i) includes an unconditional release
of such Indemnified Party from all liability for Losses arising out of such claim, action,
investigation, suit or other legal proceeding, (ii) provides for the payment of money damages as
the sole relief for the claimant (whether at law or in equity), (iii) involves no admission of fact
adverse to the Indemnified Party or finding or admission of any violation of law or the rights of
any Person by the Indemnified Party, and (iv) is not in the nature of a criminal or regulatory
action. No Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment
in, any pending or threatened Indemnified Proceeding (A) in respect of which any payment would
result hereunder or under any other Operative Document, (B) which includes an injunction that will
adversely affect any Indemnifying Party, (C) which involves an admission of fact adverse to the
Indemnifying Party or a finding or admission of any violation of law or the rights of any Person by
the Indemnifying Party, or (D) which is in the nature of a criminal or regulatory action, without
the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably
conditioned, withheld or delayed.
Section 11. No Petition. Each of the Company and Holdings covenants and agrees that,
prior to March 31, 2011, it will not institute or join in the institution of any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding against the Symphony Collaboration. The
provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 12. Third-Party Beneficiary. Each of the Parties agrees that each Symphony
Fund shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.
Section 13. Notices. Any notice, request, demand, waiver, consent, approval or other
communication which is required or permitted to be given to any Party shall be in writing addressed
to the Party at its address set forth below and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered to the
Party personally, (ii) if sent to the Party by facsimile transmission (promptly followed by a
hard-copy delivered in accordance with this Section 13), when the transmitting Party
obtains written proof of transmission and receipt; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, any communication sent by facsimile transmission after 5:00 PM (receiving Party’s time)
or not on a Business Day shall not be deemed received until the next Business Day, (iii) when
delivered by next Business Day delivery by a nationally recognized courier service, or (iv) if sent
by registered or certified mail, when received, provided postage and registration or certification
fees are prepaid and delivery is confirmed by a return receipt:

Section 14. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
State of New York; except to the extent that this Agreement pertains to the internal governance of
the Company, the Symphony Collaboration or Holdings, and to such extent this Agreement shall be
governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
(b) Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court and Delaware State court or
federal court of the United States of America
29
sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan or Wilmington, Delaware, and any
appellate court from any jurisdiction thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the
Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action
or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court, any such Delaware State
court or, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the Parties
agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Party may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement.
(c) Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any
New York State or federal court, or any Delaware State or federal court. Each of the Parties
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each of the parties
hereby consents to service of process by mail.
Section 15. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT
OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any Annexes, Schedules,
Exhibits or other attachments hereto) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with
respect to the matters covered hereby and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements,
correspondence, discussion, and understanding with respect to such matters between the Parties,
excluding the Operative Documents.
Section 17. Amendment; Successors; Counterparts.
(a) The terms of this Agreement shall not be altered, modified, amended, waived or
supplemented in any manner whatsoever except by a written instrument signed by each of the Parties.
(b) Except as set forth in Section 12, nothing expressed or implied herein is intended
or shall be construed to confer upon or to give to any Person, other than the Parties, any right,
remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or of any term, covenant or condition hereof,
and all the terms, covenants, conditions, promises and agreements contained herein shall be for the
sole and exclusive benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns.
30
(c) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when executed,
shall be deemed an original but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same
Agreement.
Section 18. Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge that irreparable damage
would result if this Agreement were not specifically enforced, and they therefore agree that the
rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement may be enforced by a decree of specific
performance issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. Such a remedy shall, however, not be
exclusive, and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any Party may have under this
Agreement or otherwise. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that a decree of specific
performance may not be an available remedy in all circumstances.
Section 19. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is
invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other
conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so
long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in
a manner materially adverse to either party. Upon such determination that any term or other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in
good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely
as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are
fulfilled to the extent possible.
Section 20. Tax Reporting. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for all federal
and state income tax purposes:
(a) (i) Holdings shall be treated as the owner of all the Equity Securities of the Symphony
Collaboration prior to the consummation of the Purchase Option; (ii) the Purchase Option shall be
treated as an option to acquire all the Equity Securities of the Symphony Collaboration; (iii) the
Option Premium Shares shall be treated as an option premium payable in respect of the grant and
exercise of the Purchase Option; and (iv) the Symphony Collaboration shall be treated as the owner
of all the Licensed Intellectual Property and shall be entitled to all deductions claimed under
Section 174 of the Code in respect of the Licensed Intellectual Property to the extent of the
amounts funded by the Symphony Collaboration (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not preclude
the Company from claiming deductions under Section 174 of the Code to which the Company is
otherwise entitled); and
(b) No Party shall take any tax position inconsistent with any position described in
Section 20(a) above, except (i) in the event of a “determination” (as defined in
Section 1313 of the Code) to the contrary, or (ii) in the event either of the Parties receives an
opinion of counsel to the effect that there is no reasonable basis in law for such a position or
that a tax return cannot be prepared based on such a position without being subject to substantial
understatement penalties; provided, however, that in the case of the Company, such
counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to Holdings.
31

Parties. Upon such execution, all provisions of, rights granted and covenants made in the Original

further force or effect.

Annex A is hereby amended to read, “means the Purchase Option Agreement dated as of the Closing
Date, among the Company, Holdings and the Symphony Collaboration, as the same may be amended,
amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.”
