forth, to subscribe for and purchase, from the Company, up to the aggregate number of fully paid
and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) as determined pursuant to
Section 1(b) below, at a purchase price per share equal to the Exercise Price (as defined below).
The number and Exercise Price of such shares are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8.
As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Exercise Price” means $12.24, subject to adjustment from time to time in
accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.
“Liquid Sale” means the closing of a Merger Event in which the consideration
received by the Company and/or its stockholders, as applicable, consists solely of cash

reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is then current in its filing of all required
reports and other information under the Act and the Exchange Act; (ii) the class and
series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by the

Event, the Warrantholder would not be restricted from publicly re-selling all of the
issuer’s shares and/or other securities that would be received by the Warrantholder in
such Merger Event were the Warrantholder to exercise this Warrant in full on or prior to
the closing of such Merger Event, except to the extent that any such restriction (x) arises
solely under federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations, and (y) does not extend
beyond six (6) months from the closing of such Merger Event.
“Merger Event” means any of the following: (i) a sale, lease or other transfer of

and the Company acknowledge that the pending sale of assets to Vertex Pharmaceuticals
does not constitute the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets), (ii) any
merger or consolidation involving the Company in which the Company is not the
surviving entity or in which the outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock are
otherwise converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock or other securities or
property of another entity, or (iii) any sale by holders of the outstanding voting equity
securities of the Company in a single transaction or series of related transactions of shares
constituting a majority of the outstanding combined voting power of the Company.
"Purchase Price" means, with respect to any exercise of this Warrant, an amount
equal to the then-effective Exercise Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common
Stock as to which this Warrant is then exercised.
(b) Number of Shares. This Warrant shall be exercisable for [20,424][40,849]
shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the
provisions of this Warrant.
SECTION 2. TERM OF THE AGREEMENT.
The term of this Agreement and the right to purchase Common Stock as granted
herein shall commence on the Effective Date and, subject to Section 8(a) below, shall be
exercisable until 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date.

SECTION 3. EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHTS.
(a) Exercise. The purchase rights set forth in this Agreement are exercisable by the
Warrantholder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to the expiration of the
term set forth in Section 2, by tendering to the Company at its principal office a notice of exercise
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly completed and executed.
Promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the payment of the Purchase Price in
accordance with the terms set forth below, and in no event later than three (3) business days
thereafter, the Company or its transfer agent shall either (i) issue to the Warrantholder a
certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock purchased or (ii) credit the same via book
entry to the Warrantholder, and the Company shall execute the acknowledgment of exercise in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit II (the “Acknowledgment of Exercise”) indicating the number
of shares which remain subject to future purchases under this Warrant, if any.
The Purchase Price may be paid at the Warrantholder’s election either (i) by cash
or check, or (ii) by surrender of all or a portion of the Warrant for shares of Common Stock to be
exercised under this Agreement and, if applicable, an amended Agreement setting forth the
remaining number of shares purchasable hereunder, as determined below (“Net Issuance”). If the
Warrantholder elects the Net Issuance method, the Company will issue shares of Common Stock
in accordance with the following formula:
X = Y(A-B)
A
Where: X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the
Warrantholder.
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be exercised under
this Agreement.
A = the then-current fair market value of one (1) share of Common Stock at
the time of exercise of this Warrant.
B = the then-effective Exercise Price.
For purposes of the above calculation, the current fair market value of shares of Common
Stock shall mean with respect to each share of Common Stock:
(i) at all times when the Common Stock is traded on a national securities
exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter bulletin board service, the fair market
value shall be deemed to be the closing price on the day the Warrant is exercised;
(ii) if the exercise is in connection with a Merger Event, the fair market
value of a share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the per share value received by the
holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Merger Event as determined
in accordance with the definitive transaction documents executed among the parties in connection
therewith; or
(iii) in cases other than as described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the
current fair market value of a share of Common Stock shall be determined in good faith by the
Company’s Board of Directors.
4
Upon partial exercise by either cash or Net Issuance, prior to the expiration or
earlier termination hereof, the Company shall promptly issue an amended Agreement
representing the remaining number of shares purchasable hereunder. All other terms and
conditions of such amended Agreement shall be identical to those contained herein, including, but
not limited to the Effective Date hereof.
(b) Exercise Prior to Expiration. To the extent this Warrant is not previously
exercised as to all shares of Common Stock subject hereto, and if the then-current fair market
value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price then in effect, or, in the
case of a Liquid Sale, where the value per share of Common Stock (as determined as of the
closing of such Liquid Sale in accordance with the definitive agreements executed by the parties
in connection with such Merger Event) to be paid to the holders thereof is greater than the
Exercise Price then in effect, this Agreement shall be deemed automatically exercised on a Net
Issuance basis pursuant to Section 3(a) (even if not surrendered) as of immediately before its
expiration determined in accordance with Section 2. For purposes of such automatic exercise, the
fair market value of one share of Common Stock upon such expiration shall be determined
pursuant to Section 3(a). To the extent this Warrant or any portion hereof is deemed
automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 3(b), the Company agrees to promptly notify the
Warrantholder of the number of shares of Common Stock if any, the Warrantholder is to receive
by reason of such automatic exercise, and to issue or cause its transfer agent to issue a certificate
or a book-entry credit to the Warrantholder evidencing such shares.
SECTION 4. RESERVATION OF SHARES.
During the term of this Agreement, the Company will at all times have
authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the
exercise of the rights to purchase Common Stock as provided for herein. If at any time during the
term hereof the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be
sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant in full, the Company will take such corporate action
as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares
of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
SECTION 5. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon
the exercise of this Agreement, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a
cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.
SECTION 6. NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER/STOCKHOLDER.
Without limitation of any provision hereof, the Warrantholder agrees that this
Agreement does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a
shareholder/stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise of any of the purchase rights set
forth in this Agreement.
SECTION 7. WARRANTHOLDER REGISTRY.
The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the
registered holder of this Agreement. The Warrantholder's initial address, for purposes of such
registry, is set forth in Section 12(g) below. The Warrantholder may change such address by
giving written notice of such changed address to the Company.
5
SECTION 8. ADJUSTMENT RIGHTS.
The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
hereunder are subject to adjustment from time to time, as follows:
(a) Merger Event. In connection with a Merger Event that is a Liquid Sale,
this Warrant shall, on and after the closing thereof, automatically and without further action on
the part of any party or other person, represent the right to receive the consideration payable on or
in respect of all shares of Common Stock that are issuable hereunder as of immediately prior to
the closing of such Merger Event less the Purchase Price for all such shares of Common Stock
(such consideration to include both the consideration payable at the closing of such Merger Event
and all deferred consideration payable thereafter, if any, including, but not limited to, payments of
amounts deposited at such closing into escrow and payments in the nature of earn-outs, milestone
payments or other performance-based payments), and such Merger Event consideration shall be
paid to the Warrantholder as and when it is paid to the holders of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock. In connection with a Merger Event that is not a Liquid Sale, the Company shall
cause the successor or surviving entity to assume this Warrant and the obligations of the
Company hereunder on the closing thereof, and thereafter this Warrant shall be exercisable for
the same number and type of securities or other property as the Warrantholder would have
received in consideration for the shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder had it exercised this
Warrant in full as of immediately prior to such closing, at an aggregate Exercise Price no greater
than the aggregate Exercise Price in effect as of immediately prior to such closing, and subject to
further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The
provisions of this Section 8(a) shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.
(b) Reclassification of Shares. Except for Merger Events subject to Section
8(a), if the Company at any time shall, by combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision
of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this
Agreement exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes of
securities, this Agreement shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of
securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities
which were subject to the purchase rights under this Agreement immediately prior to such
combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change. The provisions of this
Section 8(b) shall similarly apply to successive combination, reclassification, exchange,
subdivision or other change.
(c) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time shall
combine or subdivide its Common Stock, (i) in the case of a subdivision, the Exercise Price shall
be proportionately decreased and the number of shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall
be proportionately increased, or (ii) in the case of a combination, the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately increased and the number of shares for which this Warrant is exercisable shall be
proportionately decreased.
(d) Dividends. If the Company at any time while this Agreement is
outstanding and unexpired shall:
(i) pay a dividend with respect Common Stock payable in additional
shares of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend, to that price determined by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a
fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator of which
6
shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
dividend or distribution, and the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is
exercisable shall be proportionately increased; or
(ii) make any other dividend or distribution on or with respect to
Common Stock, except any dividend or distribution specifically provided for in any other clause
of this Section 8, then, in each such case, provision shall be made by the Company such that the
Warrantholder shall receive upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant a proportionate share of
any such dividend or distribution as though it were the holder of the Common Stock (or other
stock for which the Common Stock is convertible) as of the record date fixed for the
determination of the stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such dividend or
distribution.
(e) Notice of Certain Events. If: (i) the Company shall declare any dividend or
distribution upon its outstanding Common Stock, payable in stock, cash, property or other
securities (provided that the Warrantholder in its capacity as lender under the Loan Agreement
consents to such dividend); (ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of
its Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights; (iii) there shall be
any Merger Event; or (iv) there shall be any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
the Company; then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall give the
Warrantholder notice thereof at the same time and in the same manner as it gives notice thereof to
the holders of outstanding Common Stock. In addition, if at any time the number of shares of
Common Stock (or other securities of any other class or classes of securities of the Company for
which this Warrant is then exercisable) outstanding is reduced such that the number of shares of
Common Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall exceed five
percent (5%) of the then outstanding class of such securities, then, within three (3) business days
of such event, the Company shall give the Warrantholder written notice thereof.
SECTION 9. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF
THE COMPANY.
(a) Reservation of Common Stock. The Company covenants and agrees that all shares
of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant
will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and will be

Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement may be subject to restrictions on transfer
under state and/or federal securities laws. The Company has made available to the Warrantholder
true, correct and complete copies of its Charter and bylaws currently in effect. The issuance of

incurred by the Company in connection with such exercise and related issuance of shares of
Common Stock. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will, at all times
during the term hereof, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this
Warrant.

the Charter or the Company’s current bylaws; (ii) does not contravene any law or governmental
rule, regulation or order applicable to the Company; and (iii) except as could not reasonably be

its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation,
fraudulent conveyance laws) and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(c) Consents and Approvals. No consent or approval of, giving of notice to, registration
with, or taking of any other action in respect of any state, federal or other governmental authority

under the Act and any filing required by applicable state securities law, which filings will be
effective by the time required thereby.

in Section 10, the issuance of the Common Stock upon exercise of this Agreement will constitute
a transaction exempt from (i) the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Act, in reliance
upon Section 4(a)(2) thereof, and (ii) the qualification requirements of the applicable state
securities laws.
(e) Information Rights. At all times (if any) prior to the earlier to occur of (x) the date
on which all shares of Common Stock issued on exercise of this Warrant have been sold, or (y)

file reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or shall not have timely filed all
such required reports, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to the information rights contained in
Section 7.1(b) – (f) of the Loan Agreement, and in any such event Section 7.1(b) – (f) of the Loan
Agreement is hereby incorporated into this Agreement by this reference as though fully set forth
herein, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to deliver a Compliance
Certificate once all Indebtedness (as defined in the Loan Agreement) owed by the Company to
Warrantholder has been repaid.
(f) Registration of Shares. If after the Effective Date, the Company registers any of its
shares of Common Stock under the Act pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3, the

Registration Statement no later than ten (10) business days following the date that the Company
is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to

any event, no later than 60 calendar days after the date the Company is required to file the
Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 9(f). All fees and expenses incident to the
Company’s performance of or compliance with its obligations under this Section 9(f) (excluding
any underwriting discounts and selling commissions) shall be borne by the Company.

date, use all commercially reasonable efforts to timely file all reports required under the
8
Exchange Act and otherwise timely take all actions necessary to permit the Warrantholder to sell

pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Act (“Rule 144”), provided that the foregoing shall
not apply in the event of a Merger Event following which the successor or surviving entity is not
subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act. If the Warrantholder proposes to sell
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Agreement in compliance with Rule 144, then,
upon the Warrantholder’s written request to the Company, the Company shall furnish to the

by the Warrantholder of this Warrant (or any portion hereof or any interest herein) or of any

D) of the Warrantholder, provided that such affiliate is an “accredited investor” as defined in

governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware,
excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other
jurisdiction.
(o) Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. All judicial proceedings arising in or under or
related to this Agreement may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction
located in the State of California. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto
generally and unconditionally: (i) consents to personal jurisdiction in Santa Xxxxx County, State of
California; (ii) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in Santa Xxxxx County, State of
California; (iii) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the
aforesaid courts; and (iv) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in
connection with this Agreement. Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out
of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for
notice set forth in Section 12(g), and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth in
Section 12(g). Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any
other jurisdiction.
(p) Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. Because disputes arising in connection with complex
financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert
person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration
rules), the parties desire that their disputes arising under or in connection with this Warrant be
resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE
WARRANTHOLDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL
BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM,
THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, "CLAIMS")
ASSERTED BY THE COMPANY AGAINST THE WARRANTHOLDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE
OR BY THE WARRANTHOLDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE AGAINST THE COMPANY
RELATING TO THIS WARRANT. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims
that involve persons or entities other the Company and the Warrantholder; Claims that arise out
of or are in any way connected to the relationship between the Company and the Warrantholder;
and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, specific performance, or any equitable or legal
relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement.
(q) Arbitration. If the Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial set forth in Section 12(p) is
ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that all Claims shall be submitted to binding
arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of JAMS (the “Rules”), such
arbitration to occur before one arbitrator, which arbitrator shall be a retired California state judge
or a retired Federal court judge. Such proceeding shall be conducted in Santa Xxxxx County, State
of California, with California rules of evidence and discovery applicable to such arbitration. The
decision of the arbitrator shall be binding on the parties, and shall be final and nonappealable to
the maximum extent permitted by law. Any judgment rendered by the arbitrator may be entered
in a court of competent jurisdiction and enforced by the prevailing party as a final judgment of
such court.
12
(r) Pre-arbitration Relief. In the event Claims are to be resolved by arbitration, either
party may seek from a court of competent jurisdiction identified in Section 12(o), any
prejudgment order, writ or other relief and have such prejudgment order, writ or other relief
enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that all Claims are otherwise
subject to resolution by binding arbitration.
(s) Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or
supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile or
electronic delivery (PDF), and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but
one and the same instrument.
(t) Specific Performance. The parties hereto hereby declare that it is impossible to
measure in money the damages which will accrue to the Warrantholder by reason of the
Company’s failure to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement and agree that the
terms of this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable by the Warrantholder. If the
Warrantholder institutes any action or proceeding to specifically enforce the provisions hereof,
any person against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or
defense therein that the Warrantholder has an adequate remedy at law, and such person shall not
offer in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such remedy at law exists.
(u) Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen,
mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may
reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender
thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen,
mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation
of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be
at any time enforceable by anyone.
(v) Legends. To the extent required by applicable laws, this Warrant and the shares of
Common Stock issuable hereunder (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon
conversion of such shares of Common Stock, if any) may be imprinted with a restricted securities
legend in substantially the following form:
