material respects with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor,
employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and

received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental
Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) are in compliance in all material respects
with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, in each of the

3.2. Representations and Warranties of the Investors. Each Investor hereby, as to itself
only and for no other Investor, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a) Organization; Authority. Such Investor is an entity duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the
requisite corporate, partnership or other power and authority to enter into and to consummate the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations
hereunder and thereunder. The purchase by such Investor of the Securities hereunder has been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Investor. This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by such Investor and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such
Investor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by (i)
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to
or affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally, and (ii) the effect of rules of law
governing the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies.
(b) No Public Sale or Distribution. Such Investor is (i) acquiring the Common Shares
and the Warrants and (ii) upon exercise of the Warrants will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable
upon exercise thereof, in the ordinary course of business for its own account and not with a view
towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant
to sales registered under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and in
compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, and such Investor does not have a
present arrangement to effect any distribution of the Securities to or through any person or
entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Investor
does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves
the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration
statement or an exemption under the Securities Act.
(c) Investor Status. At the time such Investor was offered the Securities, it was,
and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the
Securities Act or a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities
Act. Such Investor is not a registered broker dealer registered under Section 15(a) of the
Exchange Act, or a member of the NASD, Inc. or an entity engaged in the business of being a broker
dealer. Except as otherwise disclosed in writing to the Company on Exhibit B-2 (attached hereto) on or prior to the date of this Agreement, such Investor is not affiliated
with any broker dealer registered under Section 15(a) of the Exchange Act, or a member of the NASD,
Inc. or an entity engaged in the business of being a broker dealer.
(d) Experience of Such Investor. Such Investor, either alone or together with its
representatives has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters
so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the
Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Investor
15
understands that it must bear the economic risk of this investment in the Securities indefinitely,
and is able to bear such risk and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e) Access to Information. Such Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed the
Disclosure Materials and has been afforded: (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has
deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the
terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the
Securities; (ii) access to information (other than material non-public information) about the
Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of operations,
business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment;
and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can
acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment
decision with respect to the investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation
conducted by or on behalf of such Investor or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or
affect such Investor’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure
Materials and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents.
Such Investor acknowledges receipt of copies of the SEC Reports.
(f) No Governmental Review. Such Investor understands that no United States federal
or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any
recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in
the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Securities.
(g) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of this
Agreement and the consummation by such Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby will not
(i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Investor or (ii) conflict with,
or constitute a default (or an event which 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 of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Investor is a party, or (iii)
result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal
and state securities laws) applicable to such Investor, except in the case of clauses (ii) and
(iii) above, for such that are not material and do not otherwise affect the ability of such
Investor to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
(h) Illegal Transactions. No Investor, directly or indirectly, and no Person acting
on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with any Investor, has engaged in any transactions in
the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales
involving any of the Company’s securities) since the time that such Investor was first
contacted by the Company, the Agent or any other Person regarding an investment in the Company.
Such Investor covenants that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any
understanding with such Investor will engage, directly or indirectly, in any transactions in the
securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement are publicly disclosed. “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short
sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and all types
of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts,
16
options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, derivatives and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and
other transactions through non-U.S. broker-dealers or foreign regulated brokers.
(i) Restricted Securities. The Investors understand that the Securities are
characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they
are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under
such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the
Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.
(j) Legends. It is understood that, except as provided in Section 4.1(b) of this
Agreement, certificates evidencing such Securities may bear the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b).
(k) No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice. Such Investor understands that nothing in
this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Investor in
connection with the purchase of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Such
Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has
deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Securities. Such Investor
understands that the Agent has acted solely as the agent of the Company in this placement of the
Securities, and that the Agent makes no representation or warranty with regard to the merits of
this transaction or as to the accuracy of any information such Investor may have received in
connection therewith. Such Investor acknowledges that he has not relied on any information or
advice furnished by or on behalf of the Agent.
ARTICLE IV
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1. Transfer Restrictions.
(a) The Investors covenant that the Securities will only be disposed of pursuant to an
effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities
Act or pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. In connection with any transfer of
Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to the Company, or
pursuant to Rule 144(k), the Company may require the transferor to provide to the Company an
opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not
require registration under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books of the Company and with its transfer agent,
without any such legal opinion, except to the extent that the transfer agent requests such legal
opinion, any transfer of Securities by an Investor to an Affiliate of such Investor, provided that
the transferee certifies to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule
501(a) under the Securities Act and provided that such Affiliate does not request any removal of
any existing legends on any certificate evidencing the Securities.
17
(b) The Investors agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section
4.1(b), of the following legend on any certificate evidencing any of the Securities:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE
SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM,
OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES
ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR BLUE SKY LAWS.
Certificates evidencing Securities shall not be required to contain such legend or any other legend
(i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of
the Securities is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Securities
pursuant to Rule 144 if the holder provides the Company with a legal opinion (and the documents
upon which the legal opinion is based) reasonable acceptance to the Company to the effect that the
Securities can be sold under Rule 144, (iii) if the holder provides the Company with a legal
opinion (and the documents upon which the legal opinion is based) reasonably acceptable to the
Company to the effect that the Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144(k), or (iv) if the
holder provides the Company with a legal opinion (and the documents upon which the legal opinion is
based) reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the legend is not required under
applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including controlling judicial interpretations and
pronouncements issued by the Staff of the SEC). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the
legal opinion included in the Transfer Agent Instructions to the Transfer Agent on the Effective
Date. Following the Effective Date or at such earlier time as a legend is no longer required for
certain Securities, the Company will no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by an
Investor to the Company or the Transfer Agent of (i) a legended certificate representing such
Securities, and (ii) an opinion of counsel to the extent required by Section 4.1(a),
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor a certificate representing such Securities that
is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its
records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set
forth in this Section.
(c) The Company will not object to and shall permit (except as prohibited by law) an Investor
to pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities in
connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement secured by
the Securities, and if required under the terms of such agreement, loan or arrangement, the Company
will not object to and shall permit (except as prohibited by law) such Investor to transfer pledged
or secured Securities to the pledges or secured parties. Except as required by law, such a pledge
or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company, no legal opinion of the pledgee,
secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith, and no notice shall be required
of such pledge. Each Investor acknowledges that the Company shall not be responsible for any
pledges relating to, or the grant of any security interest in, any of the
18
Securities or for any agreement, understanding or arrangement between any Investor and its pledgee or secured party. At
the appropriate Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable
documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with
a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including the preparation and filing of any required
prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of
the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder. Provided
that the Company is in compliance with the terms of this Section 4.1(c), the Company’s
indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 6.4 shall not extend to any Proceeding or Losses
arising out of or related to this Section 4.1(c).
4.2. Furnishing of Information. Until the date that any Investor owning Common Shares or
Warrant Shares may sell all of them under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act (or any successor
provision), the Company covenants to use its commercially reasonable efforts to timely file (or
obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports
required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act.
4.3. Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonably efforts
to ensure that no Affiliate thereof shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or
otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that
would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the
registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Investors or that would
be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of
any Trading Market.
4.4. Reservation of Securities. The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly
authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount
as may be required to fulfill its obligations to issue such Shares under the Transaction Documents.
In the event that at any time the then authorized shares of Common Stock are insufficient for the
Company to satisfy its obligations to issue such Shares under the Transaction Documents, the
Company shall promptly take such actions as may be required to increase the number of authorized
shares.
4.5. Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, on or before 8:30 a.m., New
York time, on the first Trading Day following execution of this Agreement, issue a press release
reasonably acceptable to the Investors disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. Within two Business Days of
the Closing Date, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC (the “8-K
Filing”) describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and
including as exhibits to such Current Report on Form 8-K the Transaction Documents (including the
schedules and the names, and addresses of the Investors and the amount(s) of Securities
respectively purchased) and the form of Warrants, in the form required by the Exchange Act.
Thereafter, the Company shall timely file any filings and notices required by the SEC or applicable
law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and provide copies thereof to the
Investors promptly after filing. Except as herein provided, the Company shall not publicly
disclose the name of any Investor, or include the name of any Investor in any press release without
the prior written consent of such Investor, unless otherwise required by law. The Company shall
not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and each of their respective officers,
directors, employees
19
and agents not to, provide any Investor with any material nonpublic
information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the issuance of the
above referenced press release without the express written consent of such Investor.
4.6. Use of Proceeds. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the
Securities for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company also may use a portion
of the net proceeds, currently intended for general corporate purposes, to acquire or invest in
technologies, products or services that complement its business, although the Company has no
present plans or commitments and is not currently engaged in any material negotiations with respect
to these types of transactions. Pending these uses, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds
from this offering in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities, or as otherwise
pursuant to the Company’s customary investment policies.
4.7. S-3 Eligibility. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
maintain its eligibility to register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-3.
4.8. Participation Rights. For a period of 12 months from the Closing Date, the
Company hereby grants to each Investor the right to purchase its Pro Rata Share of any securities
sold by the Company in a private placement transaction to one or more institutional investors (a
“Private Placement”). In the event that the Company proposes to undertake a Private Placement, it
shall give each Investor written notice of its intention, describing the price and the general
terms of the Private Placement. Each Investor shall have 5 days from the date of any such notice
to elect to participate in such Private Placement by giving written notice to the Company, and
thereafter at the closing of the Private Placement such Investor shall purchase securities in the
Private Placement on the same terms and conditions as the other investors in such Private
Placement. The Company shall have 60 days after the 5-day period described above to complete such
Private Placement. In the event the Company has not completed the proposed Private Placement
within such 60 day period, then the Company shall comply with the terms of this Section 4.8 with
respect to a Private Placement proposed to be completed after such 60 day period. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, an Investor will not be entitled to the participation rights set forth above in any
transaction in which the participation of such Investor would require approval by the shareholders
of the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, no Investor shall have any obligation to participate in any Private Placement unless and until
such Investor has executed the definitive agreements for such Private Placement.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
6.1. Registration Statement.
(a) As promptly as possible, and in any event on or prior to the Filing Date, the Company
shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable
Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to
register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall
be on another appropriate form in accordance with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) and
shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Investors or requested by the SEC) the “Plan of
Distribution” in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.
(b) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration
Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but
in any event prior to the Required Effectiveness Date, and shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until
the earlier of the date that all Common Shares and Warrant Shares covered by such Registration
Statement have been sold or can be sold publicly under Rule 144(k) (the “Effectiveness Period”);
provided that, upon notification by the SEC that a Registration Statement will not be reviewed or
is no longer subject to further review and comments, the Company shall request acceleration of such
Registration Statement within five (5) Trading Days after receipt of such notice and request that
it becomes effective on 4:00 p.m. New York City
21
time on the Effective Date and file a prospectus supplement for any Registration Statement, whether or not required under Rule 424 (or otherwise),
by 9:00 a.m. New York City time the day after the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement
continuously effective until the earlier of (i) such date as the Investor is no longer deemed an
affiliate of the Company for purposes of Rule 144 or (ii) such date as the Investor no longer holds
any of the Common Shares or Warrant Shares.
(c) The Company shall notify the Investors in writing promptly (and in any event within two
Trading Days) after receiving notification from the SEC that the Registration Statement has been
declared effective.
(d) Should an Event (as defined below) occur, then upon the occurrence of such Event, and on
every monthly anniversary thereof until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to
each Investor an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to one percent
(1.0%) of (i) the number of Common Shares held by such Investor as of the date of such Event,
multiplied by (ii) the purchase price paid by such Investor for such Common Shares then held;
provided, however, that the total amount of payments pursuant to this Section 6.1(d) shall not
exceed, when aggregated with all such payments paid to all Investors, ten percent (10%) of the
aggregate purchase price. The payments to which an Investor shall be entitled pursuant to this
Section 6.1(d) are referred to herein as “Event Payments.” Any Event Payments payable
pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a pro rated basis for any portion of a month prior to
the cure of an Event. In the event the Company fails to make Event Payments in a timely manner,
such Event Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month (prorated for
partial months) until paid in full. All pro rated calculations made pursuant to this paragraph
shall be based upon the actual number of days in such pro rated month.
For such purposes, each of the following shall constitute an “Event”:
(i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date or is not
declared effective on or prior to the Required Effectiveness Date;
(ii) except as provided for in Section 6.1(e) (the “Excluded Events”), after
the Effective Date, an Investor is not permitted to sell Registrable Securities under the
Registration Statement (or a subsequent Registration Statement filed in replacement thereof)
for any reason (other than the fault of such Investor) for five or more Trading Days
(whether or not consecutive);
(iii) except as a result of the Excluded Events, the Common Stock is not listed or
quoted, or is suspended from trading, on an Eligible Market for a period of three Trading
Days (which need not be consecutive Trading Days) during the Effectiveness Period;
(iv) with respect to an Investor, the Company fails for any reason to deliver a
certificate evidencing any Securities to such Investor within five Trading Days after
delivery of such certificate is required pursuant to any Transaction Document or the
exercise rights of the Investors pursuant to the Warrants are otherwise suspended for any
reason; or
22
(v) during the Effectiveness Period, except as a result of the Excluded Events, the
Company fails to have any Shares listed on an Eligible Market.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after 60 consecutive Trading
Days of continuous effectiveness of the initial Registration Statement filed and declared effective
pursuant to this Agreement, the Company may, by written notice to the Investors, suspend sales
under a Registration Statement after the Effective Date thereof and/or require that the Investors
immediately cease the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto and/or defer the filing of
any subsequent Registration Statement if the Company is engaged in a material merger, acquisition
or sale and the Board of Directors determines in good faith, by appropriate resolutions, that, as a
result of such activity, (A) it would be materially detrimental to the Company (other than as
relating solely to the price of the Common Stock) to maintain a Registration Statement at such time
or (B) it is in the best interests of the Company to suspend sales under such registration at such
time. Upon receipt of such notice, each Investor shall immediately discontinue any sales of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration until such Investor is advised in writing by
the Company that the current Prospectus or amended Prospectus, as applicable, may be used. In no
event, however, shall this right be exercised to suspend sales beyond the period during which (in
the good faith determination of the Company’s Board of Directors) the failure to require such
suspension would be materially detrimental to the Company. The Company’s rights under this
Section 6(e) may be exercised for a period of no more than 20 Trading Days at a time and
not more than three times in any twelve-month period, without such suspension being considered as
part of an Event Payment determination. Immediately after the end of any suspension period under
this Section 6(e), the Company shall take all necessary actions (including filing any
required supplemental prospectus) to restore the effectiveness of the applicable Registration
Statement and the ability of the Investors to publicly resell their Registrable Securities pursuant
to such effective Registration Statement.
(f) The Company shall not, from the date hereof until the Effective Date of the Registration
Statement, prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement or post-effective amendment to a
registration statement (or supplement thereto) relating to an offering for its own account under
the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than any registration statement or
post-effective amendment to a registration statement (or supplement thereto) relating to the
Company’s employee benefit plans registered on Form S-8.
6.2. Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations
hereunder, the Company shall:
(a) Not less than three Trading Days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement or any
related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish to the Agent copies of all such
documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than any document that is incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) will be subject to the review of such Investors.
The Company shall reflect in each such document when so filed with the SEC such comments regarding
the Investors and the plan of distribution as the Agent may reasonably and promptly propose on
behalf of the Investors no later than two Trading Days after the Agent has been so furnished with
copies of such documents as aforesaid.
23
(b) (i) Subject to Section 6.1(e), prepare and file with the SEC such amendments,
including post-effective amendments, to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective,
as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with
the SEC such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the
Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended
or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424; and (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments
received from the SEC with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto.
(c) Notify each Investor as promptly as reasonably possible of any of the following events:
(i) the SEC notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of any Registration Statement;
(ii) the SEC comments in writing on any Registration Statement; (iii) any Registration Statement or
any post-effective amendment is declared effective; (iv) the SEC or any other Federal or state
governmental authority requests any amendment or supplement to any Registration Statement or
Prospectus or requests additional information related thereto; (v) the SEC issues any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or initiates any Proceedings for that
purpose; (vi) the Company receives notice of any suspension of the qualification or exemption from
qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or
threat of any Proceeding for such purpose; or (vii) the financial statements included in any
Registration Statement become ineligible for inclusion therein or any Registration Statement or
Prospectus or other document contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits 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.
(d) Use its commercially reasonable to avoid the issuance of or, if issued, obtain the
withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, or (ii) any
suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as soon as possible.
(e) If requested by an Investor, provide such Investor and its counsel, without charge, at
least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including
financial statements and schedules, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person
(including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of
such documents with the SEC.
(f) Promptly deliver to each Investor, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or
Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such
Persons may reasonably request. The Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each
amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Investors in connection with the offering
and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement
thereto to the extent permitted by federal and state securities laws and regulations.
24
(g) (i) In the time and manner required by each Trading Market, prepare and file with such
Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering all of the Registrable Securities;
(ii) take all steps necessary to cause such Common Shares to be approved for listing on each
Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter; (iii) provide to Investor Counsel evidence of such
listing; and (iv) except as a result of the Excluded Events, during the Effectiveness Period,
maintain the listing of such Common Shares on each such Trading Market or another Eligible Market.
(h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable
efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Investors in connection with the
registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such
Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions within the United States as any Investor requests in writing, to keep each such
registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective for so long as required, but not
to exceed the duration of the Effectiveness Period, and to do any and all other acts or things
reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the
Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify
as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so
qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in
which it is not otherwise so subject.
(i) Cooperate with the Investors to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of
certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a
Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by this Agreement
and under law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such
denominations and registered in such names as any such Investors may reasonably request.
(j) Upon the occurrence of any event described in Section 6.2(c)(vii), as promptly as
reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to
the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as
thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit 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.
(k) Cooperate with any reasonable due diligence investigation undertaken by the Investors in
connection with the sale of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, by making
available documents and information; provided that the Company will not deliver or make available
to any Investor material, nonpublic information unless such Investor requests in advance in writing
to receive material, nonpublic information and agrees to keep such information confidential.
(l) Comply with all rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to the registration of the
Securities.
25
(m) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the
registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of any
particular Investor or to make any Event Payments set forth in Section 6.1(c) to such Investor that
such Investor furnish to the Company the information specified in Exhibits B-1, B2 and B-3 hereto
and such other information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities and other shares of Common
Stock held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it
(if different from the Plan of Distribution set forth on Exhibit D hereto) as shall be reasonably
required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall complete and execute
such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.
(n) The Company shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the Securities
Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof, with the SEC
pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly inform the Holders in writing if, at any
time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule
172 and, as a result thereof, the Holders are required to make available a Prospectus in connection
with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably
necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder.
6.3. Registration Expenses. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses incident to the
performance of or compliance with Article VI of this Agreement by the Company, including without
limitation (a) all registration and filing fees and expenses, including without limitation those
related to filings with the SEC, any Trading Market and in connection with applicable state
securities or Blue Sky laws, (b) printing expenses (including without limitation expenses of
printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (c) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (d) fees and disbursements
of counsel for the Company, (e) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (f) all
listing fees to be paid by the Company to the Trading Market. The Company shall also pay the
reasonable fees and expenses of a single counsel for the Investors in connection with such
transaction, up to a maximum of $10,000.
6.4. Indemnification
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any
termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Investor, the officers, directors,
partners, members, agents and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Investor
(within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the
officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred,
arising out of or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty
made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the
Company contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document
contemplated hereby or thereby, or (iii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement, any
26
Prospectus or any form of Company prospectus or in any
amendment or supplement thereto or in any Company preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or
relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or
supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading,
except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (A) such untrue statements, alleged untrue
statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding such Investor
furnished in writing to the Company by such Investor for use therein, or to the extent that such
information relates to such Investor or such Investor’s proposed method of distribution of
Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved by such Investor expressly for use
in the Registration Statement, or (B) with respect to any prospectus, if the untrue statement or
omission of material fact contained in such prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the
prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such corrected prospectus was timely made available
by the Company to the Holder, and the Holder seeking indemnity hereunder was advised in writing not
to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to Losses.
(b) Indemnification by Investors. Each Investor shall, severally and not jointly,
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person
who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and
Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such
controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses
(as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment not subject to appeal or
review) arising solely out of any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, any Prospectus, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or
arising out of or relating to any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or
omission is contained in any information so furnished by such Investor in writing to the Company
specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or to the extent that
(i) such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding such Investor
furnished to the Company by such Investor in writing expressly for use therein, or to the extent
that such information relates to such Investor or such Investor’s proposed method of distribution
of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved by such Investor expressly for
use in the Registration Statement (it being understood that the information provided by the
Investor to the Company in Exhibits X-0, X-0 and B-3 and the Plan of Distribution set forth on
Exhibit D, as the same may be modified by such Investor and other information provided by the
Investor to the Company in or pursuant to the Transaction Documents constitutes information
reviewed and expressly approved by such Investor in writing expressly for use in the Registration
Statement), such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto.
In no event shall the liability of any selling Investor hereunder be greater in amount than the
dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable
Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or
asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified
27
Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying
Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the
employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees
and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any
Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations
or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or
further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the
Indemnifying Party.
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding
and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in
writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to
assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party,
and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely
to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party
(in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects
to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall
not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of separate
counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). It being understood, however, that the
Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such Proceeding (including separate
Proceedings that have been or will be consolidated before a single judge) be liable for the fees
and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties, which firm shall be appointed by a majority
of the Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party,
effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a
party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all
liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
All reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and
expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such
Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party,
as incurred, within 20 Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless
of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification
hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to
reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such
Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).
(d) Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 6.4(a) or (b)
is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each
Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion
28
as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in
connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and
Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in
question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or
alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied
by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.
The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 6.4(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other
reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent
such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided
for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
this Section 6.4(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.4(d), no
Investor shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by
which the proceeds actually received by such Investor from the sale of the Registrable Securities
subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Investor has otherwise been
required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any
liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.
6.5. Dispositions. Each Investor agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and shall sell its Registrable Securities in
accordance with the Plan of Distribution set forth in the Prospectus. Each Investor further agrees
that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind
described in Sections 6.2(c)(v), (vi) or (vii), such Investor will
discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such
Investor is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus, or amended
Prospectus, as applicable, may be used. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce
the provisions of this paragraph.
6.6. No Piggyback on Registrations. With the exception of the former affiliates of
Micromet AG, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Investors in such
capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in the Registration Statement other
than the Registrable Securities.
29
6.7. Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not
an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company
shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering
for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity
securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or
their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any
acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option
or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Investor not then eligible to
sell all of their Registrable Securities under Rule 144 in a three-month period, written notice of
such determination and if, within ten days after receipt of such notice, any such Investor shall so
request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of
such Registrable Securities such Investor requests to be registered. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that, in connection with any underwritten public offering, the managing
underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock which may
be included in the Registration Statement because, in such underwriter(s)’ judgment, marketing or
other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the
Company shall be obligated to include in such Registration Statement only such limited portion of
the Registrable Securities with respect to which such Investor has requested inclusion hereunder as
the underwriter shall permit; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not exclude any
Registrable Securities unless the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities, the
holders of which are not contractually entitled to inclusion of such securities in such
Registration Statement or are not contractually entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable
Securities and (ii) after giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any such exclusion of
Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among the Investors seeking to include Registrable
Securities and the holders of other securities having the contractual right to inclusion of their
securities in such Registration Statement by reason of demand registration rights, in proportion to
the number of Registrable Securities or other securities, as applicable, sought to be included by
each such Investor or other holder. If an offering in connection with which an Investor is
entitled to registration under this Section 6.7 is an underwritten offering, then each Investor
whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement shall, unless otherwise
agreed by the Company, offer and sell such Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering using
the same underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the same
terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such underwritten offering and
shall enter into an underwriting agreement in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company and the underwriter or underwriters. Upon the effectiveness the registration statement for
which piggy-back registration has been provided in this Section 6.7, any Event Payments payable to
an Investor whose Securities are included in such registration statement shall terminate.
ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS

Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent
default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or
omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any
such right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions

certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs
associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
7.15. Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or
granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors and the Company will be
entitled to seek specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that
monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of
obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for
specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any action for temporary
restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
7.16. Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any
Investor hereunder or
33
any Investor enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and
such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from,
disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company by a
trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy
law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such
restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or
setoff had not occurred.
7.17. Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices. In the event of any stock split,
subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or
rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares
of Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date
hereof and prior to the Closing, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of shares
or a price per share shall be amended to appropriately account for such event.
7.18. Independent Nature of Investors’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each
Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other
Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of
any other Investor under any Transaction Document. The decision of each Investor to purchase
Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such 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 prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other
Investor or by any agent or employee of any other Investor, and no Investor or any of its agents or
employees shall have any liability to any other Investor (or any other person) relating to or
arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or
in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed
to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of
entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document.
Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in
connection with making its investment hereunder and that no other Investor will be acting as agent
of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder. Each Investor shall be
entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights
arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any
other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Exhibit C
OPINION OF COMPANY CORPORATE COUNSEL
Exhibit D
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on
any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private
transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use
any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
• | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
• | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
• | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
• | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
• | privately negotiated transactions; |
• | short sales; |
• | broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
• | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
• | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if
available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to
participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling
stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the
purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions
and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. Any profits on
the resale of shares of common stock by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be
underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions,
commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne
by a selling stockholder. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or
broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are
imposed on that person under the Securities Act.
The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or
all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their
secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock
from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under
Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 supplementing or
amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in
interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances,
in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling
beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of common stock from time
to time under this prospectus after we have filed a supplement to this prospectus under Rule
424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 supplementing or amending the
list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as
selling stockholders under this prospectus.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the
shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act
in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or
agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed
to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of
common stock. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims,
damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The selling stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements,
understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their
shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection
with a proposed sale of shares of common stock by any selling stockholder. If we are notified by
any selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer
for the sale of shares of common stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus.
If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock, they
will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may
apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling stockholders.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2006
(the “Agreement”), by and among Micromet, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the
investors named on the Schedule of Investors attached thereto (collectively, the “Holders”),
pursuant to which the Company is issuing to the Holders shares (the “Common Shares”) of Common
Stock of the Company, par value $.00004 per share (the “Common Stock”), and Warrants (the
“Warrants”), which are exercisable for shares of Common Stock.
This letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to you (provided that
you are the transfer agent of the Company at such time):
(i) to issue shares of Common Stock upon transfer or resale of the Common Shares; and
(ii) to issue shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”)
to or upon the order of a Holder from time to time upon delivery to you of a properly completed and
duly executed Exercise Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I, which has been
acknowledged by the Company as indicated by the signature of a duly authorized officer of the
Company thereon.
You acknowledge and agree that so long as you have previously received (a) written
confirmation from the Company’s legal counsel that either (i) a registration statement covering
resales of the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”)
and that resales of the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares may be made thereunder, or (ii) sales
of the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares may be made in conformity with Rule 144 under the 1933
Act (“Rule 144”), (b) if applicable, a copy of such registration statement, and (c) notice from
legal counsel to the Company or any Holder that a transfer of Common Shares and/or Warrant Shares
has been effected either pursuant to the registration statement (and a prospectus delivered to the
transferee) or pursuant to Rule 144, then, unless otherwise required by law, within three (3)
business days of your receipt of the notice referred to in (c), you shall issue the certificates
representing the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares so sold to the transferees registered in the
names of such transferees, and such certificates shall not bear any legend restricting transfer of
the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares thereby and should not be subject to any stop-transfer
restriction.
A form of written confirmation (to be used in connection with any sale) from the Company’s
outside legal counsel that a registration statement covering resales of the Common Shares and the
Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the SEC under the 1933 Act is attached hereto as
Exhibit II.
Please be advised that the Holders are relying upon this letter as an inducement to enter into
the Agreement and, accordingly, each Holder is a third party beneficiary to these instructions.
Please execute this letter in the space indicated to acknowledge your agreement to act in
accordance with these instructions. Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please
contact me at (000) 000-0000.
