Notwithstanding the foregoing, Losses arising from any breach of any of the Fundamental Warranties shall not be limited by, or subject to, the Deductible.

(e) Seller and Purchaser shall each take, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise to Losses, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Losses.

(i) an amount sufficient to put the Company into the position which would have existed if the Warranties had not been breached;

(ii) an amount equal to the resulting diminution in value of the Transferred Shares; and

(iii) the amount by which the assets of the Company are less, or less valuable, or its liabilities greater, than the values at which the same were included in the Company’s accounts or (if the Purchaser so elects) than they would have been if the Warranty concerned had been true and accurate in all respects and not misleading.

(i) The parties agree that rescission shall not, in the absence of intentional breach or fraud, be sought as a remedy.

SECTION 6.03 Termination of Indemnification.

(a) The obligations to indemnify and hold harmless a party hereto pursuant to (i) Section 6.01(a) shall terminate on the [***] anniversary of the Closing, and (ii) Sections 6.01(b) shall not terminate; provided, however, that as to clause (i) of this sentence such obligation to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the person to be indemnified or the related party thereto shall have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously made a claim by delivering a notice of such claim (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) to the indemnifying party, in which case any such claim and such obligation to indemnify and hold harmless shall survive the expiration of the applicable period until final resolution of such claim.

(b) The warranties contained in this Agreement or in any Other Transaction Document, or in any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, shall survive the Closing for a period of [***] years after the Closing Date, provided, however, that the Fundamental Warranties shall survive the Closing to the maximum amount permitted under the relevant statute of limitations.

The other covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or in any Other Transaction Document, or in any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, shall survive the Closing until fully performed or satisfied.

SECTION 6.04 Procedures Relating to Claims and Indemnification for Third Party Claims.

(a) In order for a party (the “indemnified party”) to be entitled to any payment (whether for a claim for breach of warranty or for indemnification provided for under this Agreement) in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate, agent or representative of the foregoing against the indemnified party (a “Third Party Claim”), such indemnified party shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, notify the paying party in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim for which indemnity may be sought or a Claim made (as the case may be) hereunder; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder or damages (as the case may be) except and only to the extent the paying party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure or shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Such notice by the indemnified party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall include the estimated amount (if it is reasonably possible to calculate such amount) of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the indemnified party. Thereafter, the indemnified party shall deliver to the paying party, promptly after the indemnified party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(b) If a Third Party Claim is made against an indemnified party, the paying party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the paying party (not reasonably objected to by the indemnified party) and the indemnified party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, however, that the paying party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim that (A) involves criminal liability or any admission of wrongdoing, (B) seeks equitable relief or any other non-monetary remedy against the indemnified party or (C) involves any Governmental Entity as a party thereto. If the paying party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 6.04(b), the paying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if in the reasonable written opinion of outside counsel to the indemnified party (1) a conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnified party and the paying party that would make separate representation advisable or (2) the indemnified party has legal defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to the paying party, then the indemnified party may retain its own counsel; provided, further, that the paying party shall not be liable for the costs of more than one such

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any such Third Party Claim. If the paying party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 6.04(b), the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and, without limiting the preceding sentence, to employ counsel, at its own cost and expense, separate from the counsel employed by the paying party.

(c) If the paying party so elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 6.04(b), the indemnified party shall cooperate with the paying party in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the paying party’s request) the provision to the paying party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

This Agreement, the Other Transaction Documents and the Non-Disclosure Agreement contain the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, drafts, understandings, promises, undertakings or implications relating to such subject matter, whether written or oral. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in favor of, or against, any party by reason of the fact that any such provision is inconsistent with any prior draft hereof. Nothing in this Section 7.09 shall be effective to limit or exclude any liability for fraud.

SECTION 7.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement (or any portion thereof) or the application of any such provision (or any portion thereof) to any person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof (or the remaining portion thereof) or the application of such provision (or the remaining portion thereof) to any other persons or circumstances. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be limited or eliminated, but only to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 7.11 Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales.

SECTION 7.12 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party irrevocably agrees that the courts of England and Wales shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its subject matter or formation. Each of Seller and CAI irrevocably appoints Parent at its registered office address from time to time as its agent to receive on its behalf in England or Wales service of any proceedings under Section 7.11. Each of Xxxxx and Purchaser irrevocably appoints Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx LLP at Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx XX0X 0XX (or its

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

registered office from time to time) as its agent to receive on its behalf in England or Wales service of any proceedings under Section 7.11. In each case, such service shall be deemed completed on delivery to such agent (whether or not it is forwarded to and received by any appointor of such agent) and shall be valid until such time as the other relevant parties have received prior written notice that such agent has ceased to act as agent. If for any reason such agent ceases to be able to act as agent or no longer has an address in England or Wales, the appointor shall forthwith appoint a substitute acceptable to the other relevant parties and deliver to them the new agent’s name and address within England and Wales.

SECTION 7.13 Remedies. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Subject to Section 6.02(g), no remedy of any party that is based upon the inaccuracy or breach of any warranty, covenant or agreement of any other party shall be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired, at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to any facts, matters or circumstances giving rise to any such inaccuracy or breach, and subject as aforesaid no such investigation or knowledge shall limit any party’s right to rely on any warranties of the other party.

SECTION 7.14 Xxxxx Therapeutics.

(a) Xxxxx Therapeutics will procure that Purchaser performs its obligations under, and complies with the terms and conditions of, this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, Xxxxx Therapeutics shall indemnify Seller from and against any and all losses, damages, expenses, liabilities, claims, costs or proceedings which Seller may suffer or incur by reason of such failure. If Xxxxx Therapeutics undergoes any reorganization, as part of such reorganization, it will provide Seller with the indemnity set forth in this Section 7.14(a) from its successor (provided such successor is of at least similar financial standing to Xxxxx Therapeutics as of the date hereof, failing which it shall procure that such replacement indemnity is provided by an Affiliate of at least such similar financial standing).

(b) Xxxxx Therapeutics will procure that Xxxxx performs its obligations under, and complies with the terms and conditions of, the CAI Services Agreement. If Xxxxx fails to perform any of its obligations under the CAI Services Agreement, Xxxxx Therapeutics shall indemnify CAI from and against any and all losses, damages, expenses, liabilities, claims, costs or proceedings which CAI may suffer or incur by reason of such failure. If Xxxxx Therapeutics undergoes any reorganization, as part of such reorganization, it will provide CAI with the indemnity set forth in this Section 7.14(b) from its successor (provided such successor is of at least similar financial standing to Xxxxx Therapeutics as of the date hereof, failing which it shall procure that such replacement indemnity is provided by an Affiliate of at least such similar financial standing).

Subscription Agreement

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

This SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of June 6, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), is made by and between Xxxxx Cantab, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and PBB Distributions Limited, a company organized under the laws of Malta (“PBB”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue and sell to PBB, and PBB desires to purchase from the Company, one hundred twenty-five (125) shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), which represent twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of the Fully Diluted Shares (as defined below) as of the Effective Date.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the agreements set forth in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Purchase and Sale of Shares; Anti-Dilution.

a. Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company hereby issues and sells to PBB, and PBB hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company, the Shares as partial consideration for the “Transferred Shares”, as defined in and contemplated by that certain Stock Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, PBB and the other parties thereto, dated as of the date hereof (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, PBB, Therapeutics (as defined below) and the Company shall enter into a shareholders agreement.

b. Anti-Dilution.

i. Subject to Section 1.c below, in the event that the Company conducts one or more financings that involve a sale of any equity securities of the Company to Xxxxx Therapeutics, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and parent of the Company (“Therapeutics”) or any affiliate thereof (such financing, an “Affiliate Financing”), then the Company shall issue to PBB, for no additional consideration, that number of additional shares of Common Stock as is required for PBB’s ownership of shares of Common Stock to be equal to twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of the Fully Diluted Shares; provided, however, that (i) from and after such time as the Company has raised a cumulative total of at least [***] Dollars ($[***] USD) but less than [***] Dollars ($[***] USD) in one or more Affiliate Financings, then the Company shall issue to PBB, for no additional consideration, that number of additional shares of Common Stock as is required for PBB’s ownership of shares of Common Stock to be equal to [***] percent ([***]%) of the Fully Diluted Shares; (ii) from and after such time as the Company has raised a cumulative total of at least [***] Dollars ($[***] USD) but less than the Financing Threshold (as defined below) in one or more Affiliate Financings, then the Company shall issue to PBB, for no additional consideration, that number of additional shares of Common Stock as is required for PBB’s ownership of shares of

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

Common Stock to be equal to five percent (5.0%) of the Fully Diluted Shares; and (iii) no additional shares shall be issued to PBB pursuant to this Section 1.b.i once the Company has achieved the Financing Threshold. For avoidance of doubt, if the Company achieves the Financing Threshold as a result of receiving proceeds in a particular Affiliate Financing (whether such Affiliate Financing is the first Affiliate Financing or a subsequent Affiliate Financing), then the Company shall issue to PBB, for no additional consideration, that number of additional shares of Common Stock as is required for PBB’s ownership of shares of Common Stock to be equal to five percent (5.0%) of the Fully Diluted Shares, which percentage shall be calculated as if such Affiliate Financing resulted in the Company having raised in gross proceeds only the amount that is necessary to achieve the Financing Threshold. For purposes of illustration only, if, prior to an Affiliate Financing, the Company had raised Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000 USD) in gross proceeds creditable toward the Affiliate Financing Threshold and the Company raises in such Affiliate Financing Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000 USD) from the issuance and sale of shares of Common Stock to Therapeutics, then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to PBB shall be calculated as if such Affiliate Financing resulted in the Company having raised exactly One Million Dollars ($1,000,000 USD) in gross proceeds. All shares of Common Stock issued to PBB pursuant to this Section 1.b.i shall be duly authorized and validly issued and considered fully paid and nonassessable. All such shares of Common Stock shall be free and clear of all encumbrances created, imposed or suffered to be imposed by the Company.

ii. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Fully Diluted Shares” means (i) all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, preferred stock (calculated on an as-converted to Common Stock basis) and other capital stock or equity security of the Company (calculated on an as-converted to Common Stock basis); (ii) any issued and outstanding security which is convertible, with or without consideration, into any Common Stock, preferred stock or other equity security of the Company; (iii) any issued and outstanding security or other agreement carrying or including any warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase any Common Stock, preferred stock or other equity security of the Company; and (iv) any issued and outstanding options and warrants to purchase Common Stock, preferred stock or other equity security of the Company (calculated on an as-exercised, as converted to Common Stock basis).

iii. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Financing Threshold” means the receipt by the Company of gross proceeds in the aggregate amount of Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000 USD) through the issuance and sale by the Company of any equity securities of the Company in one or more Affiliate Financings.

iv. The rights of PBB set forth in this Section 1.b are not transferable or separately detachable from the underlying Common Stock.

c. Third Party Financings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties agree that PBB and the other stockholders of the Company shall share ratably in any dilution of their respective equity interests in the Company resulting from any Third Party Financing (as defined below), and that the percentages set forth in Section 1.b above shall be ratable adjusted in the event of any dilution caused by a Third

-2-

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

Party Financing. Nonetheless, for so long as PBB owns [***] percent ([***]%) of the Fully Diluted Shares, PBB shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase, at the price and on the terms offered in each sale of any equity securities of the Company to any third party other than Xxxxx Therapeutics, LLC or any affiliate thereof (such financing, a “Third Party Financing”), all or a portion of that number of securities offered for sale in such Third Party Financing (“Offered Securities”) as is required for PBB to maintain its ownership percentage in effect immediately prior to such Third Party Financing. For avoidance of doubt, in the event the Company conducts any such additional Third Party Financing and PBB does not exercise its right to purchase Offered Securities pursuant to this Section 1.c, then PBB’s right to purchase Offered Securities at any future Third Party Financing pursuant to this Section 1.c shall be terminated.

d. Terms of Financing. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that any and all sales by the Company of its equity securities in any Affiliate Financing shall be made on good faith terms and at commercially reasonable valuations.

2. Representations.

a. Company Representations.

i. The Company is duly formed and validly existing under the laws of Delaware, with full power and authority to conduct its business as it is currently being conducted and to own its assets; and has secured any other authorizations, approvals, permits and orders required by law for the conduct by the Company of its business as it is currently being conducted.

ii. All corporate action required to be taken by the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders in order to authorize the Company to enter into this Agreement and to issue the Shares has been taken. This Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

iii. The Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued, sold, and delivered in accordance with the terms of and for the consideration set forth in this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

iv. The Company represents that it has no debts or other financial or legal obligations, other than those obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business that would not materially adversely affect the Company’s performance under this Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and PBB.

All issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and all issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company Capitalization will be as set forth in Schedule 2(a)(v)(ii) of this Agreement.

vi. Neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Corporation has offered or sold any of the Shares by any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder). The Company agrees that the foregoing representations and warranties shall survive the Company’s issuance of the Shares, as well as any investigation made by any party relying on the same.

b. PBB Representations.

i. PBB has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. When executed and delivered by PBB, this Agreement will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of PBB, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

ii. PBB does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Shares, and PBB has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.

iii. PBB has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Shares or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the Shares. PBB’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of its jurisdiction.
