The Investor shall, if requested by the Company and an underwriter of Common Stock of the Company in connection with any public offering involving an underwriting of Common Stock of the Company (whether such public offering takes place before or after the expiration of the Lock-Up Term), agree not to Dispose of any Shares of Then- Outstanding Common Stock and/or Common Stock Equivalents for a specified period of time immediately following the launch of such offering (the “Lock-Up Period”), such period of time not to exceed ninety (90) days following the pricing of such offering (a “Lock-Up Agreement”), provided that all officers and directors of the Company are subject to the same restrictions, and provided, further, that such Lock-Up Agreement shall not restrict the Investor’s ability to Dispose of any Shares of Then-Outstanding Common Stock and/or Common Stock Equivalents in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof during the Lock-Up Term. Any Lock-Up Agreement shall be in writing in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the underwriter(s) in such offering. The Company may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Shares of Then- Outstanding Common Stock and/or Common Stock Equivalents subject to the foregoing restrictions until the end of the Lock-Up Term.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 3 will restrict any Disposition of shares of Common Stock (i) held by an executive officer or director of the Investor for his or her personal account or (ii) that may occur (or be deemed to occur) in connection with a Change of Control of the Investor (replacing references to “Company” with “Investor” in the definition of “Change of Control”). 4. Voting Agreement. 4.1 Voting of Securities. During the Voting Agreement Term, other than as permitted by Section 4.2 hereof with respect to Extraordinary Matters, in any vote or any action by written consent of the stockholders of the Company (including, without limitation, with respect to the election of directors), the Investor shall, and shall cause any Permitted Transferees to, vote or execute a written consent with respect to the Purchased Shares, in the sole discretion of the Investor, in accordance with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors. In furtherance of this Section 4.1, the Investor hereby irrevocably appoints the Company and any individuals designated by the Company (such designated individuals to be limited to the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Senior Vice President and General Counsel, and the Secretary of the Company), and each of them individually, as the attorneys, agents and proxies, with full power of substitution and resubstitution in each of them, for the Investor, and in the name, place and stead of the Investor, to vote (or cause to be voted) in such manner as set forth in this Section 4.1 (but in any case, excluding any matter that is an Extraordinary Matter described in Section 4.2 hereof) with respect to the Purchased Shares to which the Investor is or may be entitled to vote at any meeting of the Company held after - 9 - ACTIVEUS 197306930v.16 the date hereof, whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned meeting (the “Irrevocable Proxy”). This Irrevocable Proxy is coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable and binding on any successor-in-interest of the Investor and shall not be terminated by operation of Law upon the occurrence of any event. This Irrevocable Proxy shall operate to revoke and render void any prior proxy as to voting securities heretofore granted by the Investor which is inconsistent herewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Irrevocable Proxy shall be effective only if, at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company and at any adjournments or postponements of any such meetings, the Investor (i) fails to appear or otherwise fails to cause its voting securities of the Company to be counted as present for purposes of calculating a quorum, or (ii) fails to vote such voting securities in accordance with this Section 4.1, in each case at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such stockholders’ meeting. The Irrevocable Proxy shall terminate upon the earlier of the expiration or termination of the Voting Agreement Term. The Investor shall cause any Permitted Transferee to promptly execute and deliver to the Company an irrevocable proxy, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, and irrevocably appoint the Company and any individuals designated by the Company, and each of them individually, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, as the attorneys, agents and proxies to vote (or cause to be voted) such Purchased Shares of the Company as to which such Permitted Transferee is entitled to vote, in such manner as each such attorney, agent and proxy or its, his or her substitute shall in its, his or her sole discretion deem appropriate or desirable with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 4.1 (the “Permitted Transferee Irrevocable Proxy”). The Investor acknowledges, and shall cause any Permitted Transferees to acknowledge, that any such proxy executed and delivered shall be coupled with an interest, shall constitute, among other things, an inducement for the Company to enter into this Agreement, shall be irrevocable and binding on any successor-in-interest of such Permitted Transferee and shall not be terminated by operation of Law upon the occurrence of any event. Such proxy shall operate to revoke and render void any prior proxy as to any voting securities of the Company heretofore granted by such Permitted Transferee, to the extent it is inconsistent herewith. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that it shall be a condition to any proposed transfer of voting securities of the Company by the Investor to such Permitted Transferee that such Permitted Transferee execute and deliver to the Company a Permitted Transferee Irrevocable Proxy, and that any purported transfer shall be void and of no force or effect if such Permitted Transferee Irrevocable Proxy is not so executed and delivered at the closing of such transfer. Such proxy shall terminate upon the earlier of the expiration or termination of the Voting Agreement Term. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that it shall be a condition to any proposed transfer of voting securities of the Company by the Investor to any Permitted Transferee during the Voting Agreement Term that such Permitted Transferee shall agree in writing to be subject to and bound by all restrictions and obligations set forth in this Section 4.1. In the event the Company’s stockholders are permitted to act by written consent, the Company and the Investor shall each negotiate in good faith with the other provisions as consistent as possible with the foregoing to govern the voting of the Investor’s and its Permitted Transferees’ Shares of Then-Outstanding Common Stock as closely as practicable to the foregoing. 4.2 Certain Extraordinary Matters. The Investor and its Permitted Transferees may vote, or execute a written consent with respect to, any or all of the voting securities of the Company as to which they are entitled to vote or execute a written consent, as they may determine in their sole discretion, with respect to the following matters (each such matter being an

- 10 - ACTIVEUS 197306930v.16 “Extraordinary Matter”): (a) any transaction which would result in a Change of Control of the Company; and (b) any liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 4.3 Quorum. In furtherance of Section 4.1 hereof, the Investor shall be, and shall cause each of its Permitted Transferees to be, present in person or represented by proxy at all meetings of stockholders to the extent necessary so that all voting securities of the Company as to which they are entitled to vote shall be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum at such meeting. 5. Board Matters. 5.1 Board Seat. The Company shall cause Xxxx Xxxxx, Ph.D., to be appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors as a Class III director, contingent upon and effective as of the Closing Date, with an initial term expiring at the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Initial NBIX Director”).

Xxxxx or another individual designated by the Investor and reasonably acceptable to the Company’s Board of Directors (as applicable, a “Subsequent NBIX Director” and, with the Initial NBIX Director, each an “NBIX Director”) to be nominated for election to the Company’s Board of Directors at subsequent Annual Meeting(s) of Stockholders of the Company for a successive term commencing upon the expiration of the then-serving NBIX Director’s term, provided that the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith and consistent with such directors’ fiduciary duties that such nominee meets the minimum qualifications established for director nominees as set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines as then in effect. Each NBIX Director shall (i) be subject to all of the Company’s policies, procedures, processes, codes, standards, guidelines and rules generally applicable to the Company’s directors and (ii) as a condition to his or her nomination and election to the Board of Directors, complete the Company’s standard director and officer questionnaire and furnish other reasonable and customary director documentation and information reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the election of members of the Company’s Board of Directors and generally applicable to the Company’s directors. 5.2 Removal; Resignation. Promptly following, but in no event more than five Business Days after, the expiration or termination of the Board Designation Right Term, the Investor shall cause the removal or resignation of the NBIX Director, effective immediately. In connection with the appointment or election of any NBIX Director, the Investor shall enter into a written agreement with such NBIX Director whereby the NBIX Director agrees to resign as a member of the Board of Directors in connection with the expiration or termination of the Board Designation Right Term. 6. Termination of Certain Rights and Obligations. 6.1 Termination of Standstill Period.
