and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the
Securities Act) as may be so requested and as would permit or

all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or
Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request
received by the Company within ten (10) business days after written
notice from the Company is given under Section 2(a)(1) above; provided
that the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or take any action
to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 2:
A. In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would
be required to execute a general consent to service of process
in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance,
unless the Company is already subject to service in such
jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities
Act or applicable rules or regulations thereunder;
B. After the Company has effected three (3) such registrations
pursuant to this Section 2 requested by Initiating Holders
described in clause (i) of the definition thereof and two (2)
such registrations requested by Initiating Holders described
in clause (ii) of the definition thereof, and such
registrations have been declared or ordered effective and the
sales of such Registrable Securities shall have closed;
C. (i) In the case of any registration requested by Initiating
Holders described in clause (i) of the definition thereof, if
the Registrable Securities requested by all Holders to be
registered pursuant to such request do not have, in the good
faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, an
anticipated aggregate public offering price (before any
underwriting discounts and commissions) of at least $5,000,000
(or $10,000,000 if such requested registration is the Initial
Public Offering) and, as to the Initial Public Offering, if
the request is not made by Holders who in the aggregate hold
at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the Registrable
Securities;
(ii) In the case of any registration requested by

D. If at the time of any request to register Registrable
Securities pursuant to this Section 2, the Company is engaged
or has fixed plans to engage within thirty (30) days of the
time of the request in a registered public offering as to
which the Holders may include Registrable Securities pursuant
to Section 3 or is engaged in any financing, acquisition or
other material transaction which, in the good faith
determination of the Board of Directors of the Company, would
be adversely affected by the requested registration to the
material detriment of the Company, then the Company may,, at
its option, direct that such request be delayed for the
shortest reasonable period of time not in excess of 120 days
from the date of such request, such right to delay a request
to be exercised by the Company not more than once in any
one-year period. In any such event, the Company shall promptly
give the Holders written notice of such determination,
containing a general statement of the reasons for such
postponement and an approximation of the anticipated delay. If
the Company shall so postpone the filing of the Registration
Statement, the Holders who made the request for registration
shall have the right to withdraw the request for registration
by giving written notice to the Company within thirty (30)
days after receipt of the notice of postponement.
The Registration Statement filed pursuant to the request of any of the
Initiating Holders may, subject to the provisions of Section 2(b) below, include
other securities of the Company or which are held by Persons who, by virtue of
agreements with the Company, are entitled to include their securities in any
such registration, provided that such Persons shall be subject to the provisions
of Section 2(b) below.
The Initiating Holders that made the registration request may, at any
time prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such
registration revoke such request, without liability to any other party, by
providing a written notice to the Company revoking such request.
(b) UNDERWRITING. If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the
Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting,
they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to
Section 2.
If holders of securities of the Company other than Registrable
Securities who are entitled, by contract with the Company or otherwise, to have
securities included in such a registration (the "Other Stockholders") request
such inclusion, the Holders shall offer to include the securities of such Other
Stockholders in the underwriting and may condition such offer on their
acceptance of the further applicable provisions of this Agreement. The Holders
whose shares are to be included in such registration and the Company shall
(together with all Other Stockholders proposing to distribute their securities
through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary
form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for
such underwriting by the Initiating Holders holding a majority of Registrable
Securities held by the Initiating Holders and reasonably acceptable to the
Company and the price, terms and provisions of the underwriting and the offering
shall be subject to the approval of the Company and such Initiating Holders. Any
affiliate of a Holder may be selected to serve, on an arm's-length basis, as
underwriter for an underwritten offering effected pursuant to this Section 2(b).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the representative
advises the Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on
the number of shares to be underwritten, the securities of the Company held by
Other Stockholders shall be excluded from such registration to the extent so
required by such limitation. If, after the exclusion of such shares, further
reductions are still required, the number of shares included in the registration
by each Holder shall be reduced on a pro rata basis (based on the number of
shares requested to be included by such Holder), by such minimum number of
shares as is necessary to comply with such request. No Registrable Securities or
any other securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the
underwriter's marketing limitation shall be included in such registration. If at
least 50% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such
registration by the Initiating Holders are excluded by reason of the
underwriter's marketing limitation, the registration shall not be counted for
purposes of paragraph (B) of Section 2(a)(ii). If any of the Holders or any
Other Stockholder who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided
above disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such person may elect to
withdraw therefrom without liability to any party by written notice to the
Company, the underwriter and the Initiating Holders. The securities so withdrawn
shall also be withdrawn from registration. If the underwriter has not limited
the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, the Company may include
its securities for its own account in such registration if the representative so
agrees and if the number of Registrable Securities which would otherwise have
been included in such registration and underwriting will not thereby be limited.
3. COMPANY REGISTRATION.
(a) INCLUSION IN REGISTRATION. If the Company shall determine to
register any of its equity securities either for its own account or for the
account of a security holder or holders exercising their respective demand
registration rights (including any such registration pursuant to Section 4, but
excluding any such registration pursuant to Section 2), other than a
registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, or a registration
relating solely to a SEC Rule 145 transaction, or a registration on any
registration form which does not permit secondary sales, the Company will:
(i) promptly (but in any event at least 15 days prior to the
anticipated filing date) give to each of the Holders a written notice
thereof (which shall include a list of the
jurisdictions in which the Company intends to attempt to qualify such
securities under the applicable blue sky or other state securities
laws); and
(ii) include in such registration (and any related qualification under
blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved
therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request
or requests, made by any Holder within fifteen (15) days after receipt
of the written notice from the Company described in clause (1) above,
except as set forth in Section 3(b) below. Such written request may
specify all or a part of a Holder's Registrable Securities.
(b) UNDERWRITING. If the registration of which the Company gives notice
is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall
so advise each of the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to
Section 3(a)(i). In such event, the right of each of the Holders to registration
pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation
in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities
in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. The Holders whose shares are
to be included in such registration shall (together with the Company and the
Other Stockholders distributing their securities through such underwriting)
enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative
of the underwriter or underwriters selected for underwriting by the Company.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3, if the representative
determines that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares
to be underwritten, and (x) if such registration is the Initial Public Offering,
the representative may, subject to the allocation priority set forth below,
exclude from such registration and underwriting all of the Registrable
Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and (y) if
such registration is other than the Initial Public Offering, the representative
may (subject to the allocation priority set forth below) limit the number of
Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting to
not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the securities included therein. The
Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration, and
the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the
registration and underwriting shall be allocated in the following manner: The
securities of the Company held by Other Stockholders of the Company (other than
Registrable Securities, if any are held by such Other Stockholders, and other
than securities held by holders (other than Holders) who by contractual right
demanded such registration ("Demanding Holders")) shall be excluded from such
registration and underwriting to the extent required by such limitation, and, if
a limitation on the number of shares is still required, the number of shares
that may be included in the registration and underwriting by each of the Holders
and the Demanding Holders shall be reduced, on a pro rata basis (based on the
number of shares requested to be included by such Holder), by such minimum
number of shares as is necessary to comply with such limitation. If any of the
Holders or any Other Stockholder disapproves of the terms of any such
underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom without liability to
any party by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable
Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting
shall be withdrawn from such registration.
(c) No registration effected under this Section 3 shall relieve the
Company of its obligation to effect any registration upon request under Section
2 or Section 4, except as otherwise provided herein.
4. FORM S-3.
Following the Initial Public Offering the Company shall use its best
efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 (or any equivalent successor
form) for secondary sales. After the Company has qualified for the use of Form
S-3, Holders of Registrable Securities shall have the right to request up to
nine (9) registrations on Form S-3 (one of which may be exercised by War6urg,
one of which may be exercised by Biotech Target, one of which may be exercised
by PharmaBio Development, Inc. ("PharmaBio"), one of which may be exercised by
the MPM Group (as defined in the Stockholders' Agreement)) and five (5) of which
may be exercised by New Investors holding a majority of Registrable Securities
held by all of the New Investors (such requests shall be `in writing and shall
state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the
intended method of disposition of shares by such Holders), subject only to the
following:
(i) The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant
to this Section 4 unless the Holder or Holders of Registrable
Securities requesting registration propose to dispose of shares of
Registrable Securities that are expected to have an aggregate price to
the public (before deduction of underwriting discounts and expenses of
sale) of more than $3,000,000.
(ii) The Company shall not be required to effect a registration
pursuant to this Section 4 within 180 days of the effective date of the
most recent registration pursuant to this Section 4 in which securities
held by the requesting Holder could have been included for sale or
distribution.
(iii) The Company shall not be required to effect a registration
pursuant to this Section 4 in any particular jurisdiction in which the
Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of
process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance,
unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction
and except as may be required by the Securities Act or applicable rules
or regulations thereunder.
(iv) If at the time of any request to register Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Section 2, the Company is engaged or has fixed plans
to engage within thirty (30) days of the time of the request in a
registered public offering as to which the Holders may include
Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3 or is engaged in any
financing, acquisition or other material transaction which, in the good
faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Company, would be
adversely affected by the requested registration to the material
detriment of the Company, then the Company may, at its option, direct
that such request be delayed for the shortest reasonable period of time
not in excess of 120 days from the date of such request, such right to
delay a request to be exercised by the Company not more than once in
any one-year period. In any such event, the Company shall promptly give
the Holders written notice of such determination, containing a general
statement of the reasons for such postponement and an approximation of
the anticipated delay.
The Company shall give prompt written notice to all Holders of
Registrable Securities of the receipt of a request for registration pursuant to
this Section 4 and as soon as practicable, use its diligent best efforts to
effect such registration (including, without limitation, the execution of an
undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualification under
applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance
with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act) as may be so
requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or
such portion of
such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all
or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining
in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company
within ten (10) business days after written notice from the Company is given;
provided that if the registration is for an underwritten offering, the terms of
Section 2(b) shall apply to all participants in such offering. Subject to the
foregoing, the Company will use its best efforts to effect promptly the
registration of all shares of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 to the extent
requested by the Holder or Holders thereof for purposes of disposition.

thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue
statement) of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement,
prospectus, offering circular or other document made by such Holder, or any
omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements by such Holder therein not
misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such directors, officers,
partners, persons, underwriters or control persons for any legal or any other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any
such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but
only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or
omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration Statement,
prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and
stated to be specifically
for use therein; provided, however, that (i) the obligations of each of the
Holders hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to
such Holder of securities sold as contemplated herein., and (ii) the obligations
of each of the Holders hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement
of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is
effected without the consent of such Holder.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 (the
"Indemnified Party") shall give written notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party
has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall
permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any
litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying
Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting
therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not
unreasonably be withheld) and the Indemnified Party may participate in such
defense at such party's expense (unless the Indemnified Party shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in such action, in which case the
fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party),
and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as
provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations
under this Agreement unless the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced
thereby. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation
shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of
any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding
itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request
in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of
such claim and litigation resulting therefrom. Any counsel representing the
Holders (as Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party) shall be selected by the
holders holding a maj9rity of the Registrable Securities included in such
registration.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint
liability in any case in which either (i) any Indemnified Party exercising
rights under this Agreement makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this
Section 7 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or
decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal
or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be
enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 7 provides for
indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may
be required on the part of any such Indemnified Party in circumstances for which
indemnification Is provided under tills Section 71- then, and in each such case,
each Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party will contribute to the aggregate
losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after
contribution from others) in proportion-to the relative fault of the
Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and each Indemnified Party, on the other
hand; PROVIDED HOWEVER that, in any such case, no person or entity guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who
was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and no such Indemnifying
Party will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering
price of all shares sold by it pursuant to such registration statement. The
relative fault of each Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and
the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Investors
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to above.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on
indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered
into in connection with any underwritten public offering contemplated by this
Agreement are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in such
underwriting agreement shall be controlling.
(f) The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of
the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in this Section 7 shall
be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party In connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim in accordance with the
provisions hereof.
(g) The foregoing indemnity agreement of the Company and the Holders is
subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any loss, claim,
liability or damage made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied
in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the Registration
Statement in question becomes effective or the amended prospectus filed with the
SEC pursuant to SEC Rule 424(b) (the "Final Prospectus"), such indemnity
agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if a copy of
the Final Prospectus was furnished to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified
Party was required by the Securities Act to furnish the Final Prospectus to the
person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage and the Indemnified Party
did not so furnish the final Prospectus at or prior to the time such action is
required by the Securities Act.
8. INFORMATION BY THE HOLDERS.
Each of the Holders holding securities included in any registration
shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the
distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in
writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration,
