REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of December 1, 2006, by and
between ALEXZA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Alexza”), and SYMPHONY
ALLEGRO HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its permitted successors,
assigns and transferees, “Holdings”).
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, in connection with the exercise by Alexza of the Purchase Option under the Purchase
Option Agreement, by and among Alexza, Holdings and Symphony Allegro, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Symphony Allegro”), of even date herewith (the “Purchase Option Agreement”),
Alexza may elect to issue shares of Alexza’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Alexza
Common Stock”) (such shares of Alexza Common Stock when and if issued, the “Purchase Option
Shares”) to Holdings in partial payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of
the Purchase Option Agreement;
WHEREAS, in connection with the Warrant Purchase Agreement by and between the parties hereto
of even date herewith (the “Warrant Purchase Agreement”), Alexza has agreed, upon the terms
and subject to the conditions of the Warrant Purchase Agreement, to issue and sell on the date
hereof to Holdings certain warrants (the “Warrants”) which will be exercisable to purchase
shares of Alexza Common Stock (such shares of Alexza Common Stock as exercised, the “Warrant
Shares”) in accordance with the terms of the Warrants; and
WHEREAS, to induce Holdings to execute and deliver the Purchase Option Agreement and the
Warrant Purchase Agreement, Alexza has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities
laws with respect to the Purchase Option Shares;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Alexza and Holdings (the “Parties”) hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Definitions.
(a) Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are used as defined in the Purchase Option
Agreement (including Annex A thereto).
(b) As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(i) “Effective Registration Date” means the date that the Registration Statement (as
defined below) is first declared effective by the SEC.
(ii) “Investor(s)” means Holdings, any transferee or assignee thereof to whom Holdings
assigns its rights under this Agreement and who agrees to become bound by the provisions of this
Agreement in accordance with Section 9 and any transferee or assignee thereof to whom a
transferee or assignee assigns its rights under this Agreement and who agrees to become bound by
the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.
(iii) “Purchase Option Related Registrable Securities” means (i) the Purchase Option
Shares, and (ii) any Alexza Common Stock issued with respect to the Purchase Option Shares as a
result of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, exchange or similar event or
otherwise.
(iv) “register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing one or more Registration Statements in compliance
with the Securities Act and pursuant to Rule 415, and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness
of such Registration Statement(s) by the SEC.
(v) “Registrable Securities” means, collectively, the Warrant Related Registrable
Securities and the Purchase Option Related Registrable Securities; provided, however, that such
securities will cease to be Registrable Securities on the earlier of (A) the date as of which the
Investor(s) may sell such securities without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or successor
thereto) promulgated under the Securities Act, or (B) the date on which the Investor(s) shall have
sold all such securities.
(vi) “Registration Statement” means a registration statement or registration
statements of Alexza filed under the Securities Act covering the Registrable Securities.
(vii) “Rule 144” has the meaning set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement.
(viii) “Rule 415” means Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule
providing for offering securities on a continuous or delayed basis.
(ix) “Warrant Related Registrable Securities” means (i) the Warrant Shares issued or
issuable upon exercise of the Warrants; and (ii) any shares of capital stock issued or issuable
with respect to the Warrant Shares or the Warrants as a result of any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, exchange or similar event or otherwise, and in the case of the Warrants, without
regard to any limitations on exercise.
Section 2. Registration.
(a) Right to Registration.
(i) Purchase Option Related Registration. In the event Alexza elects to exercise the
Purchase Option as set forth in the Purchase Option
2
Agreement, and in so doing elects to issue Purchase Option Related Registrable Securities,
Alexza shall prepare and, in accordance with Section 2(a)(ii)(B) of the Purchase Option
Agreement, file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of the
Purchase Option Related Registrable Securities. The Registration Statement prepared pursuant
hereto shall register for resale that number of shares of Alexza Common Stock equal to the number
of Purchase Option Related Registrable Securities as would be issued pursuant to the terms of the
Purchase Option Agreement. Alexza shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the
Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable following the Purchase
Option Exercise Date.
(ii) Warrant Related Registration. Alexza shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable
but in no event later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, file with the
SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Warrant Related
Registrable Securities. The Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for
resale at least that number of shares of Alexza Common Stock equal to the number of Warrant Related
Registrable Securities as of the trading day immediately preceding the date the Registration
Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Section
2(c). Alexza shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement
declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable following the Closing Date.
(b) Ineligibility for Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the
registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, Alexza shall (i) register the
resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to Holdings
(which acceptable forms shall include Form S-1) (in the case of the resale of Purchase Option
Related Registrable Securities, in accordance with Section 2(a)(ii)(B) of the Purchase
Option Agreement); and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as
such form is available; provided that Alexza shall maintain the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3
covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.
(c) Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares
available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) is insufficient to
cover all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement,
Alexza shall amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on
the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least 100% of the
number of such Registrable Securities as of the trading day immediately preceding the date of the
filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but
in any event not later than fifteen (15) days after Alexza becomes aware of the necessity therefor.
Alexza shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration
Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. For purposes of
the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be
deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of
shares of Alexza Common Stock available for resale under such
3
Registration Statement is less than the number of Registrable Securities. The calculation set
forth in the foregoing sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on the exercise of
the Warrants and such calculation shall assume that the Warrants are then exercisable into shares
of Alexza Common Stock.
Section 3. Related Obligations. At such time as Alexza is obligated to file a
Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), (b) or (c),
Alexza will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable
Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto
(except at such times as Alexza may be required to suspend the use of a prospectus forming a part
of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3(1), at which time Alexza’s obligations
under Sections 3(a), (b), (c), (d), (i) and (k) may
also be suspended, as required), Alexza shall have the following obligations:
(a) Alexza shall keep each Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times
until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investor(s) may sell all of the Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) (or
successor thereto) promulgated under the Securities Act, or (ii) the date on which the Investor(s)
shall have sold all the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the
“Registration Period”).
(b) Alexza shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective
amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with
such Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at
all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of
the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of Alexza covered
by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have
been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers
thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to
a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including
pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of Alexza filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q
or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Exchange Act, Alexza shall have incorporated such
report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments
or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the Exchange Act report is filed which created
the requirement for Alexza to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.
(c) Alexza shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any
Registration Statement, without charge, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the
SEC, at least one (1) copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including
financial statements and schedules, and each preliminary prospectus; (ii) upon the effectiveness of
any Registration Statement, ten (10) copies of the prospectus included in such Registration
Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such
Investor may reasonably request); and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any
preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably request from time to
4
time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such
Investor.
(d) Alexza shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an
exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale by Investor(s) of the Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of
such jurisdictions in the United States as Investor(s) reasonably request; (ii) prepare and file in
those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such
registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during
the Registration Period; and (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such
registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period;
provided, however, that Alexza shall not be required in connection therewith or as
a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise
be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in
any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction. Alexza shall promptly notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the
receipt by Alexza of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or
qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws
of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or
threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
(e) Alexza shall notify each Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as
practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a
Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or
omission to state a 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, and, subject
to Section 3(l) hereof, promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration
Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission. Alexza shall also promptly notify each
Investor in writing when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has
been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective.
(f) Alexza shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order
or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the
qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an
order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest
possible moment.
(g) In the event that any Investor is deemed to be an “underwriter” with respect to the
Registrable Securities, upon the written request of such Investor in connection with such
Investor’s due diligence requirements, if any, Alexza shall make available for inspection by (i)
such Investor, and (ii) any legal counsel, accountants or other agents retained by the Investor
(collectively, “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent
corporate documents and properties of Alexza (collectively, “Records”), as shall be
reasonably deemed necessary by each
5
Inspector, and cause Alexza’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information
which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector
and such Investor shall agree in writing to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any
disclosure (except with respect to an Inspector, to the relevant Investor) or use of any Record or
other information which Alexza determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which
determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless the release of such Records is ordered
pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent
jurisdiction. Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is
required or is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through
other means, give prompt notice to Alexza and allow Alexza, at its expense, to undertake
appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records
deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between Alexza and
any Investor) shall be deemed to limit the Investor(s)’ ability to sell Registrable Securities in a
manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.
(h) Alexza shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an
Investor provided to Alexza unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with
federal or state securities laws or the rules of any securities exchange or trading market on which
the Alexza Common Stock is listed or traded, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary
to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, or (iii) the release
of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a
court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction. Alexza agrees that it shall, upon learning
that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or
governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to
such Investor and allow such Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action
to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
(i) Alexza shall use commercially reasonable efforts either to (i) cause all the Registrable
Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which
securities of the same class or series issued by Alexza are then listed, if any, if the listing of
such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure
designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement on
the NASDAQ Global Market. Alexza shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its
obligation under this Section 3(i).
(j) Alexza shall cooperate with the Investor(s) who hold Registrable Securities being offered
and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates
representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and
enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the
Investor(s) may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investor(s) may request.
6
(k) If requested by an Investor, Alexza shall (i) as soon as practicable incorporate in a
prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as an Investor reasonably
requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities,
including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities
being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering
of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering and (ii) as soon as practicable make all
required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of
the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment.
(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Registration
Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, Alexza may delay or suspend the effectiveness of
any Registration Statement or the use of any prospectus forming a part of the Registration
Statement due to the non-disclosure of material, non-public information concerning Alexza the
disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of Alexza, in the best interest
of Alexza (a “Grace Period”); provided, that Alexza shall promptly notify the
Investor(s) in writing of the existence of a Grace Period in conformity with the provisions of this
Section 3(l) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin (such notice, a
“Commencement Notice”); and, provided further, that no Grace Period shall exceed thirty
(30) consecutive days, and such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate total of ninety (90)
days during any three hundred sixty five (365) day period. For purposes of determining the length
of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date specified by Alexza
in the Commencement Notice and shall end on and include the date the Investor(s) receive written
notice of the termination of the Grace Period by Alexza (which notice may be contained in the
Commencement Notice). The provisions of Section 3(f) hereof shall not be applicable during
any Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Grace Period, Alexza shall again be bound by the first
sentence of Section 3(e) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such
material, non-public information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, Alexza shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Alexza Common Stock
to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Purchase Agreement in
connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered
into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the applicable
Registration Statement, prior to the Investor’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for
which the Investor has not yet settled.
Section 4. Obligations of the Investor(s).
(a) At least seven (7) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a
Registration Statement, Alexza shall notify each Investor in writing of the information Alexza
requires from each such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of such Investor’s Registrable
Securities included in such Registration Statement and provide each such Investor with a copy of
Alexza’s then-current selling stockholder questionnaire (a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit A hereto, a “Selling Stockholder Questionnaire”). It shall be a condition
precedent to the obligations of Alexza to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with
respect to the
7
Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to Alexza a
completed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire, along with such other information regarding itself,
the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable
Securities held by it as may reasonably be required to effect the effectiveness of the registration
of such Registrable Securities, and shall execute other such documents in connection with such
registration as Alexza may reasonably request.
(b) Each Investor, by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to
cooperate with Alexza as reasonably requested by Alexza in connection with the preparation and
filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified Alexza in writing
of such Investor’s election to exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from such
Registration Statement.
(c) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from Alexza of the happening of any
event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e),
such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any
Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of the
copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by the second sentence of Section
3(e) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required.
(d) Each Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with any applicable prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of
Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.
Section 5. Expenses of Registration. All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting
discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications
pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and
qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for Alexza
shall be paid by Alexza. All underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale
of the Registrable Securities shall be paid by the Investor(s), provided, however, that Alexza
shall reimburse the Investor(s) for the reasonable actual fees and disbursements of one legal
counsel designated by the holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities in
connection with registration, filing or qualification pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of this
Agreement, which amount shall be limited to $25,000 in total over the term of this Agreement.
Section 6. Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a
Registration Statement under this Agreement:
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Alexza will, and hereby does, indemnify and hold
harmless each Investor, the directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents,
representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Investor Indemnified Person”), against any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively,
“Claims”), incurred in
Registration Rights Agreement
8
investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding,
investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental,
administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether
or not an Indemnified Person is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which
any of them may become subject to the extent that such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether
commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the
offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable
Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the Effective Registration Date of such Registration
Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if Alexza files any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state
therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; (iii) any violation or
alleged violation by Alexza of any federal, state or common law, rule or regulation applicable to
Alexza in connection with any Registration Statement, prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, any
amendment or supplement thereto, or the issuance of any Registrable Securities to Holdings; or (iv)
any material violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through
(iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to Section 6(c), Alexza
shall reimburse the Investor Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are
due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (A) shall not apply
to a Claim by an Investor Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation that occurs
in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to Alexza by or on behalf
of any such Investor Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto if such information was
timely made available by Alexza pursuant to Section 3(c); (B) with respect to any
preliminary prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such Person from whom the Person
asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to
the benefit of any Person controlling such Person) if the untrue statement or omission of material
fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected in the prospectus, as then amended or
supplemented, if such prospectus was timely made available by Alexza pursuant to Section
3(d), and the Investor Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the
incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such Investor Indemnified
Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it or failed to deliver the correct prospectus as
required by the Securities Act and such correct prospectus was timely made available pursuant to
Section 3(d); (C) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of
the Investor Indemnified Person to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made
available by Alexza,
Registration Rights Agreement
9
including a corrected prospectus, if such prospectus or corrected prospectus was timely made
available by Alexza pursuant to Section 3(d); and (D) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of Alexza,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Investor Indemnified
Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor(s) pursuant to
Section 9.
(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each
such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, and hold harmless, to the same extent
and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), Alexza, each of its directors, each
of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls Alexza
within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and Alexza’s general counsel to the
extent that such counsel delivers one or more legal opinions in conjunction with the preparation
and filing of the Registration Statement (each, a “Company Indemnified Person”), against
any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are
based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation
occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Alexza by such
Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to
Section 6(d), such Investor will reimburse, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are
due and payable, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by a Company Indemnified Person in
connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that
the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to
contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any
Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that an Investor
shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified
Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable
Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and
effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Company Indemnified Person and
shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor(s) pursuant to Section
9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement
contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure
to the benefit of any Company Indemnified Person if the untrue statement or omission of material
fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as
then amended or supplemented.
(c) If either an Investor Indemnified Person or a Company Indemnified Person (an
“Indemnified Person”) proposes to assert a right to be indemnified under this Section
6, such Indemnified Person shall notify either Alexza or the relevant Investor(s), as
applicable (the “Indemnifying Person”), promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of
any action, suit or proceeding against such Indemnified Person (an “Indemnified
Proceeding”) in respect of which a Claim is to be made under
Registration Rights Agreement
10
this Section 6, or the incurrence or realization of any Indemnified Damages in respect
of which a Claim is to be made under this Section 6, 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 Person promptly of any such Indemnified Proceeding or incurrence or
realization shall not relieve (x) such Indemnifying Person from any liability that it may have to
such Indemnified Person under this Section 6 or otherwise, except, as to such Indemnifying
Person’s liability under this Section 6, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such
Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced by such omission, or (y) any other Indemnifying
Person from liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person under the Operative Documents.
(d) In case any Indemnified Proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnified Person and it
shall notify the applicable Indemnifying Person of the commencement thereof as provided by
Section 6(c) and such Indemnifying Person 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 Person and is not a criminal or
regulatory action, to assume the defense of, such Indemnified Proceeding with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and after notice from such Indemnifying Person to such
Indemnified Person of such Indemnifying Person’s election so to assume the defense thereof and the
failure by such Indemnified Person to object to such counsel within ten (10) Business Days
following its receipt of such notice, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to such
Indemnified Person 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 Person reasonably necessary in connection with the defense thereof. Such
Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ its counsel in any such Indemnified Proceeding,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person
unless:
(i) the employment of counsel by such Indemnified Person at the expense of the applicable
Indemnifying Person has been authorized in writing by such Indemnifying Person;
(ii) such Indemnified Person 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 Person and such Indemnified Person 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 Person (it being agreed that in

(iii) the applicable Indemnifying Person shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Indemnified Person, 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 Person may not invoke this
clause (iii) if such Indemnified Person failed to timely object to such counsel pursuant to
the first paragraph of this Section 6(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 Person 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 fees and expenses of counsel for such Indemnified Person shall be at the
expense of such Indemnifying Person. Only one counsel shall be retained by all Indemnified Persons
with respect to any Indemnified Proceeding, unless counsel for any Indemnified Person 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 Person and one or more other Indemnified Persons 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 or action available to such Indemnified
Person.
(e) Without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Person, such Indemnifying Person
shall not settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment in, any pending or
threatened Indemnified Proceeding, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or related judgment
(i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person 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 such Indemnified Person or finding or admission of
any violation of law or the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Person, and (iv) is not in the
nature of a criminal or regulatory action. No Indemnified Person shall 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 Person, (C) which involves an admission
of fact adverse to any Indemnifying Person or finding or admission of any violation of law or the
rights of any Person by the Indemnifying Person, or (D) which is in the nature of a criminal or
regulatory action, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person, such consent not
to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.

(f) The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments
of the amount of Claims during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when Indemnified
Damages are incurred.

is prohibited or limited by law, such Indemnifying Person agrees to make the maximum contribution

the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within

contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall
be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

Investor(s) to any transferee of all or at least 30,000 shares of such Investor’s Registrable

shares) if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such
rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to Alexza within a reasonable time after such
assignment; (ii) Alexza is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished

sentence the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with Alexza to be bound by all of the
provisions contained herein and has provided Alexza with a completed Selling Stockholder
Questionnaire; and (v) such transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable
transfer requirements set forth in Article VI of the Warrant Purchase Agreement.

(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 (i) Alexza
and (ii) Investor(s) holding a majority of the Registrable Securities (other than in the case of
any alteration, modification, amendment, waiver or supplement which affects any individual Investor
in a manner that is less favorable or more detrimental to such Investor than to the other
Investor(s) solely based on the face of such alteration, modification, amendment, waiver or
supplement and without regard to the number of Registrable Securities held by such Investor, in
which case, such alteration, modification, amendment, waiver or supplement must also be approved by
such less favorably or more detrimentally treated Investor).
(b) Notwithstanding Section 10(a), any party hereto may waive, solely with respect to
itself, any one or more of its rights hereunder without the consent of any other party hereto;
provided that no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument
executed by the party against whom such waiver is to be effective.

such record owner of such Registrable Securities.

required or permitted to be given to any Party shall be in writing addressed to the Party at its
