ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On July 2, 2009, OXiGENE, Inc. (“OXiGENE” or the “Company”), Symphony ViDA Holdings LLC (“Holdings”) and Symphony ViDA, Inc. (“ViDA”) entered into a series of related agreements pursuant to which such parties agreed to amend the terms of the Purchase Option (defined below), as set forth in an amended and restated purchase option agreement (the “Amended Purchase Option Agreement”). In connection with such amendment, OXiGENE and Holdings also entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Amended Registration Rights Agreement” and together with the Amended Purchase Option Agreement, the “Transaction Documents”).
Under the Amended Purchase Option Agreement, upon the closing of the Purchase Option, OXiGENE will acquire all of the equity of ViDA in exchange for six million newly-issued shares of OXiGENE common stock, subject to adjustment as described below. Based upon a price of $2.08 per share, the closing market price of OXiGENE common stock on July 2, 2009, the stock has a value of approximately $12.5 million. Under the Transaction Documents, the Company will re-acquire all of the rights to the ZYBRESTAT for ophthalmology and OXi4503 programs that had been licensed to ViDA. In addition, the approximately $12.5 million in cash currently held by ViDA will become available for use for OXiGENE’s general corporate purposes.
In the event that OXiGENE issues additional securities prior to January 2, 2010 at a price lower than $2.08 per share, Symphony Capital LLC (“Symphony”) will have the right to receive additional securities in an amount reflecting the difference in value of the securities at the time of such subsequent issuance and $2.08 per share. The two members of the Company’s Board of Directors appointed by Symphony, Mr. Mark Kessel and Dr. Alastair Wood, will remain on the Board, and the Company expects to maintain its advisory relationships with Symphony and RRD International LLC. The Additional Funding Agreement, dated October 1, 2008, has been terminated in connection with the execution of the Transaction Documents pursuant to the Termination Agreement dated July 2, 2009. The closing of the transaction is expected to occur within thirty days.
Concurrently with the execution of the Transaction Documents, OXiGENE notified Holdings and ViDA of its exercise of the Purchase Option, pursuant to the Amended Purchase Option Agreement.
On October 1, 2008, OXiGENE entered into a series of related agreements with Symphony, ViDA, Holdings and related entities, pursuant to which Holdings formed and capitalized ViDA in order (a) to hold certain intellectual property related to two of OXiGENE’s product candidates, ZYBRESTAT for use in ophthalmologic indications and OXi4503 (the “Programs”), which were exclusively licensed to ViDA under a technology license agreement and (b) to fund commitments in the amount of up to $40 million. The funding supported pre-clinical and clinical development by OXiGENE, on behalf of ViDA, of the Programs. In connection with such transaction, OXiGENE, Holdings and ViDA entered into a purchase option agreement that provided for the exclusive right, but not the obligation, of OXiGENE to repurchase both Programs at specified points in the future (the “Purchase Option”). OXiGENE issued to Holdings an aggregate of 17,117,118 shares of OXiGENE common stock, including 3,603,604 shares of common stock as consideration for the Purchase Option, pursuant to these agreements.
On July 6, 2009, OXiGENE issued a press release describing the transactions described herein. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 3.02. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
The securities to be issued to Holdings pursuant to the Amended Purchase Option Agreement will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. In agreeing to issue the securities to Holdings, the Company relied upon the representations and warranties of Holdings, including its agreement with respect to restrictions on resale, in support of the satisfaction of the conditions of Section 4(2).

AMENDED AND RESTATED
PURCHASE OPTION AGREEMENT
     This AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of July 2, 2009 (the “Closing Date”), by and among OXiGENE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), SYMPHONY ViDA HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), and SYMPHONY ViDA, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Symphony Collaboration”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Annex A attached hereto.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
     WHEREAS, the Company, Holdings and the Symphony Collaboration entered into that certain Purchase Option Agreement dated as of October 1, 2008 (the “Original Agreement”), pursuant to which Holdings granted the Company an option to purchase all of the Common Stock of the Symphony Collaboration and any other Equity Securities issued by the Symphony Collaboration (together, the “Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities”) owned, or thereafter acquired, by Holdings on the terms described therein;
     WHEREAS, institutional investors invested $30,000,000 in Holdings (the “Financing”) in exchange for (i) membership interests in Holdings, (ii) shares of the Company Common Stock having a market value of up to $15,000,000 issued to Holdings (the “Direct Investment Shares”), (iii)  a warrant to purchase Company Common Stock issued to Holdings (the “Warrant Shares”) having a market value of up to $15,000,000 less the value of the Direct Investment Shares (the “Direct Investment Warrant”), (iv) shares of the Company Common Stock having a market value of $4,000,000 (the “Option Premium Shares”), and (v) other consideration as contemplated by the terms of the Additional Funding Agreement, and Holdings contributed $15,000,000 of the proceeds of the Financing to the Symphony Collaboration and paid $15,000,000 of the proceeds of the Financing to the Company;
     WHEREAS, the parties to the Original Agreement desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement and accept the rights and covenants hereof in lieu of their rights and covenants under the Original Agreement;
     WHEREAS, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Company has exercised the Purchase Option (as defined below) by delivering the Purchase Option Exercise Notice (as defined below) to Holdings and the Symphony Collaboration;
     WHEREAS, on the Purchase Option Closing Date, the Company will issue to Holdings, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company Closing Shares (as defined below); and
     WHEREAS, the Company, the Symphony Collaboration and Holdings have determined that it is in each of its best interest to perform and comply with certain agreements and covenants relating to each of its ongoing operations contained in this Agreement.


 

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto (the “Parties”) agree as follows:
          Section 1. Grant of Purchase Option.
                    (a) Holdings hereby grants to the Company an exclusive irrevocable option (the “Purchase Option”) to purchase all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities owned or hereafter acquired by Holdings, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
                    (b) The Symphony Collaboration hereby covenants and agrees that all Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities issued by the Symphony Collaboration at any time prior to the expiration of the Term (including to Holdings, on, prior to, or after the date hereof or to any other Person at any time whatsoever, in all cases prior to the expiration of the Term) shall be subject to the Purchase Option and all of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement without any additional action on the part of the Company or Holdings. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Symphony Collaboration shall issue any Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities (including any issuance in respect of a transfer of Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities by any holder thereof, including Holdings) after the date hereof to any Person (including Holdings) (any issuance of such Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities being subject to the prior written consent of the Company as set forth in Sections 5(c) and 7(b) hereof, as applicable), the Symphony Collaboration hereby covenants and agrees that it shall cause such Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities to be subject to the Purchase Option without the payment of, or any obligation to pay, any additional consideration in respect of such Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities by the Company, the Symphony Collaboration or any Symphony Collaboration Subsidiary to the Person(s) acquiring such subsequently issued Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities, the Parties acknowledging and agreeing that the sole consideration payable by the Company pursuant to this Agreement for all of the outstanding Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities now or hereinafter owned by any Person shall be the Purchase Price (as defined in Section 2(b) hereof).
                    (c) The Company’s right to exercise the Purchase Option granted hereby is subject to the following conditions:
                         (i) The Purchase Option may only be exercised for the purchase of all, and not less than all, of the Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities;
                         (ii) The Purchase Option may only be exercised a single time; and
                         (iii) The Purchase Option may be exercised only on the date hereof.

2


 

          Section 2. Exercise of Purchase Option.
                    (a) Exercise Notice. The Company may exercise the Purchase Option only by delivery of a notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the “Purchase Option Exercise Notice”) on the date hereof. The Purchase Option Exercise Notice shall be delivered to Holdings and the Symphony Collaboration and shall be irrevocable once delivered. The date on which the Purchase Option Exercise Notice is first delivered to Holdings and the Symphony Collaboration is referred to as the “Purchase Option Exercise Date.” The Purchase Option Exercise Notice shall contain an estimated date for the settlement of the Purchase Option (the “Purchase Option Closing”), which date shall be estimated in accordance with this Section 2(a). If, during the period following the delivery of the Purchase Option Exercise Notice, the working capital held by the Symphony Collaboration is less than or equal to the Balance Sheet Deficiency Threshold, then the Symphony Collaboration shall cease payment of any amounts owed to the Company in respect of its activities pursuant to the Amended and Restated Research and Development Agreement, but shall continue to pay amounts owed to all other Persons. All cash and cash equivalents on the Symphony Collaboration’s balance sheet on the date of the Purchase Option Closing (the “Purchase Option Closing Date”) will not be transferred or distributed to Holdings and shall be retained by the Symphony Collaboration. The Purchase Option Closing Date shall be the date that is the latest of:
                         (i) thirty (30) days following the Purchase Option Exercise Date; and
                         (ii) five (5) Business Days following the date that the Company receives the necessary Government Approvals related to its HSR Filings (if any) related to the exercise of the Purchase Option; provided, however, that the Company and Holdings shall make all necessary HSR Filings within five (5) Business Days following the Purchase Option Exercise Date and shall promptly and diligently pursue the related regulatory process.
                    (b) Purchase Price. Subject to the post-closing adjustment pursuant to Section 2B and the following sentence, as consideration for the sale to the Company by Holdings of its Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities, on the Purchase Option Closing Date, the Company shall issue to Holdings an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Closing Shares”) for an equivalent value of $12,480,000 (such value, the “Purchase Price”). If, after the date hereof and prior to the Purchase Option Closing, (A) the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock has been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in capitalization, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the number of Company Closing Shares to be issued at the Purchase Option Closing, or (B) there has been a Specified Company Issuance (as defined below), the consideration to be paid by the Company at the Purchase Option Closing may be adjusted in accordance with Section 2A.

3


 

                    (c) [Reserved.]
                    (d) Surrender of Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities; Symphony Collaboration Board. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Purchase Option Closing Date, Holdings shall surrender to the Company its certificates representing its Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities, and shall convey good title to such Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities, free from any Encumbrances and from any and all restrictions that any sale, assignment or other transfer of such Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities be consented to or approved by any Person. On or prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date, Holdings shall remove all directors serving on the Symphony Collaboration Board, other than the Company Director (as defined in Section 4(b)(v) hereof), as of the Purchase Option Closing Date.
                    (e) Valuation of Company Stock. The value per share of the Company Closing Shares as of the date hereof has been determined by the Parties to equal $2.08 (the “Company Common Stock Valuation”).
                    (f) Share Certificates. Any stock certificate(s) issued by the Company for Company Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2 may contain a legend (the “33 Act Legend”) substantially as follows:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND THE SAME HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SUCH SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.
This legend shall be removed by the Company, subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of Section 3(b)(iii) hereof.
                    (g) Government Approvals. On or prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date, each of the Company, the Symphony Collaboration and Holdings shall have taken all necessary action to cause all required Governmental Approvals with respect to such Party (including, without limitation, the preparing and filing of any pre-merger notification and report forms required under the HSR Filings) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be in effect; provided, however, that with respect to Government Approvals required by a Governmental Authority other than the United States federal government and its various branches and agencies, the Parties’ obligations under this Section 2(g) shall be limited to causing to be in effect only those Government Approvals, the failure of which to be in effect would, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on any of the Parties. Each of the Symphony Collaboration and the Company shall pay its own costs

4


 

associated with taking such action. The Symphony Collaboration shall pay any costs of Holdings associated with obtaining Government Approvals required in connection with the exercise of the Purchase Option. All other costs and expenses of Holdings shall be paid by Holdings pursuant to Section 8 hereof, including any costs arising from any error in Holdings’ initial valuation of its investment in the Symphony Collaboration.
                    (h) Transfer of Title. Transfer of title to the Company of all of the Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities shall be deemed to occur automatically on the Purchase Option Closing Date, subject to the issuance by the Company on such date of the Company Closing Shares or Alternate Closing Securities, as applicable, comprising the Purchase Price and its performance of its other obligations herein required to be performed, and under the Registration Rights Agreement, as applicable, on or prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date to the reasonable satisfaction of Holdings, and thereafter the Symphony Collaboration shall treat the Company as the sole holder of all Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities, notwithstanding any failure of Holdings to tender certificates representing such shares to the Company in accordance with Section 2(d) hereof. After the Purchase Option Closing Date, Holdings shall have no rights in connection with such Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities other than the right to receive the Purchase Price; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2(h) shall affect the survivability of any indemnification provision in this Agreement upon termination of this Agreement.
                    (i) Consents and Authorizations. On or prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date, the Company shall have obtained all consents and authorizations necessary from stockholders and/or its board of directors for the consummation of the exercise and closing of the Purchase Option, as may be required under the organizational documents of the Company, any prior stockholders or board resolution, any stock exchange or similar rules or any applicable law.
          Section 2A. Purchase Option Closing Date Adjustment. If at any time or from time to time from and after the date hereof through the Purchase Option Closing Date, the Company has issued Additional Company Securities (any such issuance of Additional Company Securities, a “Specified Company Issuance”), Holdings may elect (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2B) to be paid the Purchase Price in the form of the Alternate Securities specified in the Specified Issuance Notice (each as defined below) (such Alternate Securities paid to Holdings at the Purchase Option Closing, the “Alternate Closing Securities”).
          Section 2B. Post-Closing Adjustment.
                    (a) If at any time and from time to time from and after the Purchase Option Closing Date through the date occurring six (6) months from the Purchase Option Closing Date (or if such date is not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter) (such date, the “Final Adjustment Date”), there is a Specified Company Issuance, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the delivery to the Company of a Holdings Election Notice (as defined below) (such date, the

5


 

Adjusted Securities Payment Date”), (i) the Company shall issue to Holdings such Alternate Securities in the form specified in the Specified Issuance Notice, and (ii) Holdings shall deliver to the Company such Company Closing Shares, Alternate Closing Securities, or other securities of the Company issued pursuant to this Agreement, or other consideration transferred to Holdings, as applicable, such that on the Adjusted Securities Payment Date Holdings shall own Alternate Securities, together with all other securities of the Company issued, or other consideration transferred, to Holdings pursuant to this Agreement, to which Holdings is entitled in consideration of the transfer to the Company of the Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities. The foregoing described transactions between the Company and Holdings shall be settled on a net basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Holdings may exercise its rights under this Section 2B(a) following each Specified Company Issuance that occurs after the date of this Agreement and on or prior to the Final Adjustment Date.
                    (b) Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the consummation of a Specified Company Issuance, the Company shall, in accordance with Section 13, deliver to Holdings a notice (a “Specified Issuance Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail: (i) a description of the form and terms of the Additional Company Securities to be issued pursuant to the Specified Company Issuance (such Additional Company Securities, the “Alternate Securities”); (ii) the price at which the Alternate Securities will be issued pursuant to the Specified Company Issuance; (iii) the estimated date of issuance of such Alternate Securities; and (iv) the amount and form of Alternate Securities that would be issued to an investor participating in the Specified Company Issuance upon payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Purchase Price. If Holdings elects to exercise its rights under Section 2B(a) with respect to a Specified Company Issuance, Holdings, in accordance with Section 13, shall deliver to the Company a notice of such election not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the consummation of such Specified Company Issuance (the “Holdings Election Notice”). The failure of Holdings to notify the Company pursuant to this Section 2B(b) shall be deemed to constitute the waiver by Holdings of its rights under Section 2B(a) with respect to such Specified Company Issuance.
                    (c) “Additional Company Securities” shall mean all shares of Company Common Stock, Options, Convertible Securities, notes, bonds, or any other securities issued by the Company, or cash or other consideration paid or delivered by or on behalf of the Company, other than the following (collectively, “Exempted Securities”):
                         (i) rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Company Common Stock (“Options”), or shares of restricted stock or stock appreciation rights, issued to employees or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the board of directors of the Company;
                         (ii) (1) shares of Company Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of Options or (2) shares of Company Common Stock actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of any evidences of indebtedness, shares or other

6


 

securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Company Common Stock, but excluding Options (“Convertible Securities”), in each case provided such issuance is pursuant to the terms of such Option or Convertible Security;
                         (iii) shares of Company Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued by reason of a dividend on the outstanding Company Common Stock, stock split of the outstanding Company Common Stock, split-up of the outstanding Company Common Stock or other distribution on shares of Company Common Stock; or
                         (iv) shares of Company Common Stock issued pursuant to the Company’s Committed Equity Financing Facility with Kingsbridge Capital Limited, in an amount not to exceed 5,000,000 shares.
          Section 2C. In the event that the approval of the stockholders of the Company is required under applicable Laws or the NASDAQ Rules to issue shares of Company Common Stock to Holdings pursuant to this Agreement (including through the exercise of warrants or other convertible securities), the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issued to Holdings pursuant to this Agreement (including through the exercise of warrants or other convertible securities) shall be limited to 10,000,000 (ten million) (the “Share Limitation”), unless otherwise agreed by the Company. In the event that Holdings would be entitled (but for the Share Limitation) to a number of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement in excess of the Share Limitation, then in exercising its rights under Sections 2A and/or 2B, Holdings may determine, in its sole discretion, such combination of shares of Company Common Stock and, if any, Alternate Securities as would, in Holdings’ sole determination, provide value to Holdings at the time of determination not in excess of the Purchase Price (the “Alternate Consideration”). The Company shall then transfer the Alternate Consideration to Holdings in satisfaction of its obligations under Sections 2A and/or 2B.
          Section 3. Company Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
                    (a) As of the date hereof, the Company hereby represents and warrants, and, except to the extent that any of the following representations and warranties are limited to the date of this Agreement or otherwise limited, on the Purchase Option Closing Date and each Adjusted Securities Payment Date, shall be deemed to have represented and warranted, to Holdings and the Symphony Collaboration that:
                         (i) Organization. The Company is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
                         (ii) Authority and Validity. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action required on the part of the Company, and no other

7

                    (xi) waive, alter, modify, amend or supplement in any manner whatsoever any material terms and conditions of the RRD Services Agreement, the Subscription Agreement, the Additional Funding Agreement, or Articles 4 and 6 of the Amended and Restated Research and Development Agreement, except in compliance with the terms of the Operative Documents; or

                    (vii) any other documents, materials or other information pertaining to the Programs or the Symphony Collaboration as the Company may reasonably request, including preliminary financial information and information and documentation of internal controls and reporting;
                    (viii) promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof, copies of any notice to the Symphony Collaboration from any federal or state Governmental Authority relating to any order, ruling, statute or other law or regulation that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Symphony Collaboration;
                    (ix) promptly upon receipt thereof, notice of all actions, suits, investigations, litigation and proceedings before any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, affecting the Symphony Collaboration;

                    (xi) with reasonable promptness, such other data and information relating to the business, operations, affairs, financial condition, assets or properties of the Symphony Collaboration or relating to the ability of the Symphony Collaboration to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Operative Documents as from time to time may be reasonably requested by the Company and/or Holdings;
provided, that neither the Symphony Collaboration, nor the Manager acting on behalf of the Symphony Collaboration, shall have any liability to the Company for the failure to deliver financial documents or other materials hereunder, if such failure was caused by a failure of the Company to provide, in a timely manner, data required to prepare such financial documents or other materials to the Symphony Collaboration in a timely manner.
               (e) The Symphony Collaboration will use commercially reasonable efforts, at its own expense (as set forth in the Development Budget), to cooperate with the Company in meeting the Company’s government compliance, disclosure, and financial reporting obligations, including without limitation under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, under FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised) and under the Exchange Act. Without limiting the foregoing, the Symphony Collaboration further covenants, until the

22


 

completion of all the reporting, accounting and other obligations set forth therein with respect to the fiscal year in which this Agreement shall terminate, expire and end, that (w) if requested by the Symphony Collaboration Auditors, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of the Symphony Collaboration, or persons performing similar functions, shall provide certifications to the Company corresponding to those required with respect to public companies for which a class of securities is registered under the Exchange Act (“Public Companies”) under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended; (x) the Symphony Collaboration shall maintain a system of disclosure controls and internal controls (as defined under the Exchange Act) as required under the Exchange Act for Public Companies, if required by the Company’s Auditors in connection with their audit of the Company; (y) the Symphony Collaboration shall provide to the Company an attestation report of the Symphony Collaboration Auditors with respect to the Symphony Collaboration management’s assessment of the Symphony Collaboration’s internal controls as required under the Exchange Act for Public Companies, if required by the Company’s Auditors in connection with their audit of the Company; and (z) the Symphony Collaboration will maintain, or cause to have maintained, such sufficient evidentiary support for management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Symphony Collaboration’s internal controls as required under the Exchange Act for Public Companies.

Each Party covenants and agrees that, upon its acquiring Knowledge of (a) any breach by it of any representation, warranty, covenant or any other term or condition of this Agreement or (b) any other event or development, in each case that is, or is reasonably expected to be, materially adverse to the other Party with respect to any Program or the transactions contemplated hereby, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing within three (3) Business Days of acquiring such Knowledge; provided, that neither the provision of nor the failure to provide such notice shall impair or otherwise be deemed a waiver of any rights any Party may have arising from such breach, event or development and that notice under this Section 6 shall not be deemed an admission by the Party providing such notice of any breach of any of the Operative Documents.
          Section 7. Assignment; Transfers; Legend.
               (a) Assignment by Company and Symphony Collaboration. Neither the Company nor the Symphony Collaboration may assign, delegate, transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”), in whole or in part, any or all of their rights or obligations hereunder to any Person (a “Transferee”) without the prior written approval of each of the other Parties; provided, however, that the Company, without the prior approval of each of the other Parties, may make such Transfer to any Person which acquires all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or business (or assets or business related to the Programs) or which is the surviving or resulting Person in a merger, consolidation or other reorganization with the Company.
               (b) Assignment and Transfers by Holdings. Prior to the expiration of the Term, Holdings may not Transfer, in whole or in part, any or all of its Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities or any or all of its rights or obligations

23


 

hereunder to any Person (other than the Company) without the prior written consent of the Company. In addition, any Transfer of Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities by Holdings or any other Person to any Person other than the Company shall be conditioned upon, and no effect shall be given to any such Transfer unless such transferee shall agree in writing in form and substance satisfactory to the Company to be bound by, all of the terms and conditions hereunder, including the Purchase Option, as if such transferee were originally designated as “Holdings” hereunder.

25


 

Technology License Agreement, or (B) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained herein, and (ii) in the case of Holdings being the Indemnifying Party, (A) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Holdings or the Symphony Collaboration herein, or (B) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Holdings or the Symphony Collaboration contained herein. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company or Holdings may be unenforceable for any reason, such Party shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of any Loss that is permissible under applicable law.
               (c) Notice of Claims. Any Indemnified Party that proposes to assert a right to be indemnified under this Section 10 shall notify the Company or Holdings, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”), promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such Indemnified Party (an “Indemnified Proceeding”) in respect of which a claim is to be made under this Section 10, or the incurrence or realization of any Loss in respect of which a claim is to be made under this Section 10, of the commencement of such Indemnified Proceeding or of such incurrence or realization, enclosing a copy of all relevant documents, including all papers served and claims made, but the omission to so notify the applicable Indemnifying Party promptly of any such Indemnified Proceeding or incurrence or realization shall not relieve (x) such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section 10 or otherwise, except, as to such Indemnifying Party’s liability under this Section 10, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced by such omission, or (y) any other indemnitor from liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party under the Operative Documents.
               (d) Defense of Proceedings. In case any Indemnified Proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, it shall notify the applicable Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof as provided in Section 10(c), and such Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in, and provided such Indemnified Proceeding involves a claim solely for money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party and is not a criminal or regulatory action, to assume the defense of, such Indemnified Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. After notice from such Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of such Indemnifying Party’s election so to assume the defense thereof and the failure by such Indemnified Party to object to such counsel within five (5) Business Days following its receipt of such notice, such Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for legal or other expenses related to such Indemnified Proceedings incurred after such notice of election to assume such defense except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigating, monitoring or cooperating in such defense subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party reasonably necessary in connection with the defense thereof. Such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such Indemnified Proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless:

26


 

                    (i) the employment of counsel by such Indemnified Party at the expense of the applicable Indemnifying Party has been authorized in writing by such Indemnifying Party;
                    (ii) such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded in its good faith (which conclusion shall be determinative unless a court determines that such conclusion was not reached reasonably and in good faith) that there is or may be a conflict of interest between the applicable Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party in the conduct of the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding or that there are or may be one or more different or additional defenses, claims, counterclaims, or causes of action available to such Indemnified Party (it being agreed that in any case referred to in this clause (ii) such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party);
                    (iii) the applicable Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding within a reasonable time after notice of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that (A) this clause (iii) shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any conflict of interest that may arise with respect to any such counsel, and (B) an Indemnified Party may not invoke this clause (iii) if such Indemnified Party failed to timely object to such counsel pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 10(d) above (it being agreed that in any case referred to in this clause (iii) such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party); or
                    (iv) any counsel employed by the applicable Indemnifying Party shall fail to timely commence or reasonably conduct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding and such failure has prejudiced (or is in immediate danger of prejudicing) the outcome of such Indemnified Proceeding (it being agreed that in any case referred to in this clause (iv) such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party);
in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for such Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of such Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Person shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one counsel retained by all Indemnified Parties with respect to any Indemnified Proceeding, and any additional counsel shall be retained at the expense of such Indemnified Party, unless counsel for any Indemnified Party reasonably concludes in good faith (which conclusion shall be determinative unless a court determines that such conclusion was not reached reasonably and in good faith) that there is or may be a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and one or more other Indemnified Parties in the conduct of the defense of such Indemnified, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel.
               (e) Settlement. Without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party, such Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment in, any pending or threatened Indemnified Proceeding, unless

27


 

such settlement, compromise, consent or related judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability for Losses arising out of such claim, action, investigation, suit or other legal proceeding, (ii) provides for the payment of money damages as the sole relief for the claimant (whether at law or in equity), (iii) involves no admission of fact adverse to the Indemnified Party or finding or admission of any violation of law or the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party, and (iv) is not in the nature of a criminal or regulatory action. No Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment in, any pending or threatened Indemnified Proceeding (A) in respect of which any payment would result hereunder or under any other Operative Document, (B) which includes an injunction that will adversely affect any Indemnifying Party, (C) which involves an admission of fact adverse to the Indemnifying Party or a finding or admission of any violation of law or the rights of any Person by the Indemnifying Party, or (D) which is in the nature of a criminal or regulatory action, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.
          Section 11. No Petition. Each of the Company and Holdings covenants and agrees that, prior to March 31, 2011, it will not institute or join in the institution of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding against the Symphony Collaboration. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
          Section 12. Third-Party Beneficiary. Each of the Parties agrees that each Symphony Fund shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.
          Section 13. Notices. Any notice, request, demand, waiver, consent, approval or other communication which is required or permitted to be given to any Party shall be in writing addressed to the Party at its address set forth below and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered to the Party personally, (ii) if sent to the Party by facsimile transmission (promptly followed by a hard-copy delivered in accordance with this Section 13), when the transmitting Party obtains written proof of transmission and receipt; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any communication sent by facsimile transmission after 5:00 PM (receiving Party’s time) or not on a Business Day shall not be deemed received until the next Business Day, (iii) when delivered by next Business Day delivery by a nationally recognized courier service, or (iv) if sent by registered or certified mail, when received, provided postage and registration or certification fees are prepaid and delivery is confirmed by a return receipt:

               (a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York; except to the extent that this Agreement pertains to the internal governance of the Company, the Symphony Collaboration or Holdings, and to such extent this Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
               (b) Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court and Delaware State court or federal court of the United States of America

29


 

sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan or Wilmington, Delaware, and any appellate court from any jurisdiction thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court, any such Delaware State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the Parties agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement.
               (c) Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any New York State or federal court, or any Delaware State or federal court. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each of the parties hereby consents to service of process by mail.
          Section 15. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
          Section 16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any Annexes, Schedules, Exhibits or other attachments hereto) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the matters covered hereby and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, correspondence, discussion, and understanding with respect to such matters between the Parties, excluding the Operative Documents.
          Section 17. Amendment; Successors; Counterparts.
               (a) The terms of this Agreement shall not be altered, modified, amended, waived or supplemented in any manner whatsoever except by a written instrument signed by each of the Parties.
               (b) Except as set forth in Section 12, nothing expressed or implied herein is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or to give to any Person, other than the Parties, any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or of any term, covenant or condition hereof, and all the terms, covenants, conditions, promises and agreements contained herein shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns.

30


 

               (c) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when executed, shall be deemed an original but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
          Section 18. Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge that irreparable damage would result if this Agreement were not specifically enforced, and they therefore agree that the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement may be enforced by a decree of specific performance issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. Such a remedy shall, however, not be exclusive, and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any Party may have under this Agreement or otherwise. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that a decree of specific performance may not be an available remedy in all circumstances.
          Section 19. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in a manner materially adverse to either party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
          Section 20. Tax Reporting. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for all federal and state income tax purposes:
               (a) (i) Holdings shall be treated as the owner of all the Equity Securities of the Symphony Collaboration prior to the consummation of the Purchase Option; (ii) the Purchase Option shall be treated as an option to acquire all the Equity Securities of the Symphony Collaboration; (iii) the Option Premium Shares shall be treated as an option premium payable in respect of the grant and exercise of the Purchase Option; and (iv) the Symphony Collaboration shall be treated as the owner of all the Licensed Intellectual Property and shall be entitled to all deductions claimed under Section 174 of the Code in respect of the Licensed Intellectual Property to the extent of the amounts funded by the Symphony Collaboration (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not preclude the Company from claiming deductions under Section 174 of the Code to which the Company is otherwise entitled); and
               (b) No Party shall take any tax position inconsistent with any position described in Section 20(a) above, except (i) in the event of a “determination” (as defined in Section 1313 of the Code) to the contrary, or (ii) in the event either of the Parties receives an opinion of counsel to the effect that there is no reasonable basis in law for such a position or that a tax return cannot be prepared based on such a position without being subject to substantial understatement penalties; provided, however, that in the case of the Company, such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to Holdings.

31


 

          Section 21. Original Agreement.
               (a) The Original Agreement is hereby amended and superseded in its entirety and restated herein. Such amendment and restatement is effective upon execution of this Agreement by the Parties. Upon such execution, all provisions of, rights granted and covenants made in the Original Agreement are hereby superseded in their entirety by the provisions hereof and shall have no further force or effect.
               (b) Defined terms in the Operative Documents (other than this Agreement) that refer to definitions in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the definitions in the Original Agreement, except where the context requires otherwise.
          Section 22. Amendment to Annex A. The definition of “Purchase Option Agreement” in Annex A is hereby amended to read, “means the Purchase Option Agreement dated as of the Closing Date, among the Company, Holdings and the Symphony Collaboration, as the same may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.”

A&R Registration Rights Agreement

(and in any event within 120 days) following the Purchase Option Closing Date or Adjusted Securities Payment Date, as applicable.
               (ii) Share Purchase Related Registration. The Company has filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-155372) covering the resale of all of the Share Purchase Related Registrable Securities (the obligations of the Company under this subsection (a)(ii) being subject to Section 2(b) below). Such Registration Statement was declared effective on December 1, 2008 and is effective as of the date hereof. The Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto registers for resale at least that number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the number of Share Purchase Related Registrable Securities as of the trading day immediately preceding the date the Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 2(c) and 2(d).
               (iii) Warrant Related Registration. The Company has filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-155372) covering the resale of all of the Warrant Related Registrable Securities (the obligations of the Company under this subsection (a)(iii) being subject to Section 2(b) below). Such Registration Statement was declared effective on December 1, 2008 and is effective as of the date hereof. The Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto registers for resale at least that number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the number of Warrant Related Registrable Securities as of the trading day immediately preceding the date the Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 2(c) and 2(d).
               (iv) Additional Share Related Registration. The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the Additional Closing Date, file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Additional Registrable Securities (the obligations of the Company under this subsection (a)(iv) being subject to Section 2(b) below). The Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least that number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the number of Additional Registrable Securities as of the trading day immediately preceding the date the Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 2(c) and 2(d). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable (and in any event within 120 days) following the Additional Closing Date.
               (v) Non-IV Share Related Registration. The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the Non-IV Closing Date, file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Non-IV Registrable Securities (the obligations of the Company under this subsection (a)(v) being subject to Section 2(b) below). The Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least that number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the number of Non-IV Registrable Securities as of the trading day immediately preceding the date the Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in
A&R Registration Rights Agreement

4


 

Sections 2(c) and 2(d). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable (and in any event within 120 days) following the Non-IV Closing Date.
          (b) Ineligibility for Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to Holdings (which acceptable forms shall include Form S-1); and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available; provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.
          (c) Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement, the Company shall amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least 100% of the number of such Registrable Securities as of the trading day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(d)), in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Company becomes aware of the necessity therefor. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of shares of Company Common Stock available for resale under such Registration Statement is less than the number of Registrable Securities. The calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Company Warrants and such calculation shall assume that the Company Warrants are then exercisable into shares of Company Common Stock
          (d) No Deemed Breach. The Company shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Agreement to have any Registration Statement required by this Agreement declared effective by the SEC within a particular time frame in the event that the failure to have such Registration Statement declared effective within a particular time frame results from the SEC characterizing the offering of the shares of Company Common Stock under such Registration Statement by the Investor(s) as a primary issuance of such shares by the Company rather than a secondary offering pursuant to a resale prospectus; provided that, no such time frame shall be extended to more than 240 days from its original starting date.
     Section 3. Related Obligations. At such time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), (b) or (c), the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and,
A&R Registration Rights Agreement

pursuant thereto (except at such times as the Company may be required to suspend the use of a prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3(1), at which time the Company’s obligations under Sections 3(a), (b), (c), (d), (i) and (k) may also be suspended, as required), the Company shall have the following obligations:
          (a) The Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investor(s) may sell all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(b) (or successor thereto) promulgated under the Securities Act, or (ii) the date on which the Investor(s) shall have sold all the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, but in no event for a period of less than one year from the Closing Date (the “Registration Period”).
          (b) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Exchange Act, the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the Exchange Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.
          (c) The Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one (1) copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and each preliminary prospectus; (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, ten (10) copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request); and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.
          (d) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale by Investor(s) of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as
A&R Registration Rights Agreement

6


 

Investor(s) reasonably request; (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period; and (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.
          (e) The Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission 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, and, subject to Section 3(l) hereof, promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission. The Company shall also promptly notify each Investor in writing when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective.
          (f) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment.
          (g) In the event that any Investor is deemed to be an “underwriter” with respect to the Registrable Securities, upon the written request of such Investor in connection with such Investor’s due diligence requirements, if any, the Company shall make available for inspection during normal business hours by (i) such Investor, and (ii) any legal counsel, accountants or other agents retained by the Investor (collectively, “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, that each Inspector and such Investor shall agree in writing to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except with respect to an Inspector, to the relevant Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the
A&R Registration Rights Agreement

Inspectors are so notified, unless the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction. Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is required or is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and any Investor) shall be deemed to limit the Investor(s)’ ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.
          (h) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws or the rules of any securities exchange or trading market on which the Company Common Stock is listed or traded, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, or (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.
          (i) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts either to (i) cause all the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement on the NASDAQ Global Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(i).
          (j) The Company shall cooperate with the Investor(s) who hold Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investor(s) may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investor(s) may request.
          (k) If requested by an Investor, the Company shall (i) as soon as practicable incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be
A&R Registration Rights Agreement

sold in such offering and (ii) as soon as practicable make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment.
          (l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, the Company may delay or suspend the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the use of any prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement due to the non-disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interest of the Company (a “Grace Period”); provided, that the Company shall promptly notify the Investor(s) in writing of the existence of a Grace Period in conformity with the provisions of this Section 3(l) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin (such notice, a “Commencement Notice”); and, provided further, that no Grace Period shall exceed thirty (30) consecutive days, and such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate total of ninety (90) days during any three hundred sixty five (365) day period. For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date specified by the Company in the Commencement Notice and shall end on and include the date the Investor(s) receive written notice of the termination of the Grace Period by the Company (which notice may be contained in the Commencement Notice). The provisions of Section 3(e) hereof shall not be applicable during any Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(e) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Company Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the applicable Registration Statement, prior to the Investor’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled.
     Section 4. Obligations of the Investor(s).
          (a) At least seven (7) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from each such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of such Investor’s Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and provide each such Investor with a copy of the Company’s then-current selling stockholder questionnaire (a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto, a “Selling Stockholder Questionnaire”). 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 a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company a completed Selling Stockholder Questionnaire, along with such other information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as may reasonably be required to effect the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities, and
A&R Registration Rights Agreement

shall execute other such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be required to file any such Registration Statement until the third Business Day after the day on which it receives all Selling Stockholder Questionnaires.
          (b) Each Investor, by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
          (c) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by the second sentence of Section 3(e) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required.
          (d) Each Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with any applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.
     Section 5. Expenses of Registration. All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the Company. All underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of the Registrable Securities shall be paid by the Investor(s), provided, however, that the Company shall reimburse the Investor(s) for the reasonable actual fees and disbursements of one legal counsel designated by the holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities in connection with registration, filing or qualification pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement, which amount shall be limited to $25,000 in total over the term of this Agreement.
     Section 6. Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:
          (a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify and hold harmless each Investor, the directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Investor Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several with an aggregate value of

at least $10,000, (as determined by the applicable Indemnified Party acting in good faith), (collectively, “Claims”), incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Person is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject to the extent that such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the Effective Registration Date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of any federal, state or common law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company in connection with any Registration Statement, prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, or the issuance of any Registrable Securities to Holdings; or (iv) any material violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Investor Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (A) shall not apply to a Claim by an Investor Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Investor Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (B) with respect to any preliminary prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such Person from whom the Person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any Person controlling such Person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d), and the Investor Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such Investor Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it or failed to deliver the correct prospectus as required by the Securities Act and such correct prospectus was timely made available pursuant to Section 3(d); (C)  shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor Indemnified Person to deliver or to cause to be

delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, including a corrected prospectus, if such prospectus or corrected prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d); and (D) along with the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7, shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Investor Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor(s) pursuant to Section 9.
          (b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, and hold harmless, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and the Company’s general counsel to the extent that such counsel delivers one or more legal opinions in conjunction with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement (each, a “Company Indemnified Person”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(d), such Investor will reimburse, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by a Company Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that an Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Company Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor(s) pursuant to Section 9. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Company Indemnified Person if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented.
          (c) If either an Investor Indemnified Person or a Company Indemnified Person (an “Indemnified Person”) proposes to assert a right to be indemnified under this Section 6, such Indemnified Person shall notify either the Company or the relevant Investor(s), as applicable (the “Indemnifying Person”),
A&R Registration Rights Agreement

promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such Indemnified Person (an “Indemnified Proceeding”) in respect of which a Claim is to be made under this Section 6, or the incurrence or realization of any Indemnified Damages in respect of which a Claim is to be made under this Section 6, of the commencement of such Indemnified Proceeding or of such incurrence or realization, enclosing a copy of all relevant documents, including all papers served and claims made, but the omission to so notify the applicable Indemnifying Person promptly of any such Indemnified Proceeding or incurrence or realization shall not relieve (x) such Indemnifying Person from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Person under this Section 6 or otherwise, except, as to such Indemnifying Person’s liability under this Section 6, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Indemnifying Person shall have been prejudiced by such omission, or (y) any other Indemnifying Person from liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person under the Operative Documents.
          (d) In case any Indemnified Proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnified Person and it shall notify the applicable Indemnifying Person of the commencement thereof as provided by Section 6(c) and such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate in, and provided such Indemnified Proceeding involves a claim solely for money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Person and is not a criminal or regulatory action, to assume the defense of, such Indemnified Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and after notice from such Indemnifying Person to such Indemnified Person of such Indemnifying Person’s election so to assume the defense thereof and the failure by such Indemnified Person to object to such counsel within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of such notice, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for legal or other expenses related to such Indemnified Proceedings incurred after such notice of election to assume such defense except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigating, monitoring or cooperating in such defense subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person reasonably necessary in connection with the defense thereof. Such Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ its counsel in any such Indemnified Proceeding, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless:
               (i) the employment of counsel by such Indemnified Person at the expense of the applicable Indemnifying Person has been authorized in writing by such Indemnifying Person;
               (ii) such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded in its good faith (which conclusion shall be determinative unless a court determines that such conclusion was not reached reasonably and in good faith) that there is or may be a conflict of interest between the applicable Indemnifying Person and such Indemnified Person in the conduct of the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding or that there are or may be one or more different or additional defenses, claims, counterclaims, or causes of action available to such Indemnified Person (it being agreed that in any case referred to in this clause (ii) such Indemnifying Person shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Person);
A&R Registration Rights Agreement

13


 

               (iii) the applicable Indemnifying Person shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, to assume the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding within a reasonable time after notice of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that (A) this clause (iii) shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any conflict of interest that may arise with respect to any such counsel, and (B) an Indemnified Person may not invoke this clause (iii) if such Indemnified Person failed to timely object to such counsel pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 6(d) above (it being agreed that in any case referred to in this clause (iii) such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party); or
               (iv) any counsel employed by the applicable Indemnifying Person shall fail to timely commence or reasonably conduct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding, and such failure has prejudiced (or is in immediate danger of prejudicing) the outcome of such Indemnified Proceeding (it being agreed that in any case referred to in this clause (iv) such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party);
in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for such Indemnified Person shall be at the expense of such Indemnifying Person. The Indemnifying Person shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one counsel retained by all Indemnified Persons with respect to any Indemnified Proceeding, and any additional counsel shall be retained at the expense of such Indemnified Person, unless counsel for any Indemnified Person reasonably concludes in good faith (which conclusion shall be determinative unless a court determines that such conclusion was not reached reasonably and in good faith) that there is or may be a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Person and one or more other Indemnified Persons in the conduct of the defense of such Indemnified, in which case the Indemnifying Person shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel.
          (e) Without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Person, such Indemnifying Person shall not settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment in, any pending or threatened Indemnified Proceeding, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or related judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability for Losses arising out of such claim, action, investigation, suit or other legal proceeding, (ii) provides for the payment of money damages as the sole relief for the claimant (whether at law or in equity), (iii) involves no admission of fact adverse to such Indemnified Person or finding or admission of any violation of law or the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Person, and (iv) is not in the nature of a criminal or regulatory action. No Indemnified Person shall or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment in, any pending or threatened Indemnified Proceeding (A) in respect of which any payment would result hereunder or under any other Operative Document, (B) which includes an injunction that will adversely affect any Indemnifying Person, (C) which involves an admission of fact adverse to any Indemnifying Person or finding or admission of any violation of law or the rights of any Person by the Indemnifying Person, or (D) which is in the nature of a
A&R Registration Rights Agreement

14


 

criminal or regulatory action, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person, such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.
          (f) The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount of Claims during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when Indemnified Damages are incurred.
     Section 7. Contribution. To the extent any indemnification by an Indemnifying Person is prohibited or limited by law, such Indemnifying Person agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.
     Section 8. Reports Under The Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Investor(s) the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor(s) to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to:
          (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
          (b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
          (c) furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor(s) to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
     Section 9. Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights under this Agreement with respect to the Share Purchase Related Registrable Securities shall be automatically assignable in full or in part by the Investor(s) to any transferee of all or at least 30,000 of such Investor’s Share Purchase Related Registrable Securities (or, if an Investor then holds 30,000 shares, a transfer of all such Investor’s Share Purchase Related Registrable Securities), if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or

     Section 10. Amendment.
          (a) The terms of this Agreement shall not be altered, modified, amended, waived or supplemented in any manner whatsoever except by a written instrument signed by each of (i) the Company and (ii) Investor(s) holding a majority of the Registrable Securities (other than in the case of any alteration, modification, amendment, waiver or supplement which affects any individual Investor in a manner that is less favorable or more detrimental to such Investor than to the other Investor(s) solely based on the face of such alteration, modification, amendment, waiver or supplement and without regard to the number of Registrable Securities held by such Investor, in which case, such alteration, modification, amendment, waiver or supplement must also be approved by such less favorably or more detrimentally treated Investor).
          (b) Notwithstanding Section 10(a), any party hereto may waive, solely with respect to itself, any one or more of its rights hereunder without the consent of any other party hereto; provided that no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument executed by the party against whom such waiver is to be effective.

OXiGENE Announces Agreement to Acquire Symphony ViDA, Including More
Than $12 Million in Unrestricted Cash and All Rights to OXi4503 and
ZYBRESTAT for Ophthalmology
South San Francisco, California — July 6, 2009 — OXiGENE, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics to treat cancer and eye diseases, announced that the Company exercised its option to acquire all of the equity of Symphony ViDA, Inc. in exchange for six million newly-issued shares of OXiGENE common stock, subject to adjustment as described below. Based upon a price of $2.08 per share, the closing market price of OXiGENE common stock on July 2, 2009, the stock has a value of approximately $12.5 million. Upon closing of the transaction, which is expected to occur within thirty days, Symphony Capital will own approximately 44% of the total OXiGENE Common Stock outstanding.
OXiGENE and Symphony have negotiated new terms for the Purchase Option Agreement entered into on October 1, 2008 to satisfy the purchase price for OXiGENE’s option to acquire Symphony ViDA. Under the terms of the new Amended and Restated Purchase Option Agreement, the Company will re-acquire all rights to the ZYBRESTAT™ for ophthalmology and OXi4503 programs that are currently licensed to Symphony ViDA. In addition, the approximately $12.5 million in cash currently held by Symphony ViDA will become available for use for OXiGENE’s general corporate purposes, including funding development of the company’s pivotal trial-stage drug candidate, ZYBRESTAT for oncology. In the event that OXiGENE issues additional securities prior to January 2, 2010 at a price lower than $2.08 per share, Symphony will have the right to receive additional securities in an amount reflecting the difference in value of the securities at the time of such subsequent issuance and $2.08 per share.
“We expect this important step in our strategic partnership with Symphony Capital to drive value for all shareholders by enabling us to more efficiently allocate our capital resources across all of our drug development programs,” commented John A. Kollins, OXiGENE’s Chief Executive Officer. “At the same time, we regain rights to the ZYBRESTAT for ophthalmology and OXi4503 programs and eliminate OXiGENE’s future funding obligations of up to $15 million to Symphony ViDA. We anticipate continuing the strong and supportive working relationship we’ve established with Symphony Capital, which we believe has facilitated significant progress in our drug

development programs and associated business initiatives since the beginning of our collaboration last year.”
The two members of the Company’s Board of Directors appointed by Symphony, Mr. Mark Kessel and Dr. Alastair Wood, will remain on the Board, and the Company expects to maintain its advisory relationships with Symphony and RRD International LLC.
“The additional investment we’re making in OXiGENE under this agreement reflects our continued confidence in the Company, its management, and its prospects for success in developing novel and valuable anti-vascular therapeutics for cancer and eye diseases,” said Mark Kessel, founder and Managing Director of Symphony Capital.

About ZYBRESTAT
ZYBRESTAT is currently being evaluated in a pivotal registration study in anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) under a Special Protocol Assessment agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). OXiGENE believes that ZYBRESTAT is poised to become the first therapeutic product in a novel class of small-molecule drug candidates called vascular disrupting agents (VDAs). Through interaction with vascular endothelial cell cytoskeletal proteins, ZYBRESTAT selectively targets and collapses tumor vasculature, thereby depriving the tumor of oxygen and causing death of tumor cells. In clinical studies in solid tumors, ZYBRESTAT has demonstrated potent and selective activity against tumor vasculature, as well as clinical activity against ATC, ovarian cancer and various other solid tumors. In clinical studies in patients with forms of macular degeneration, intravenously-administered ZYBRESTAT has demonstrated activity, and the Company’s objective is to develop a topical formulation of ZYBRESTAT for ophthalmological indications.

About OXi4503
OXi4503 (combretastatin A1 di-phosphate / CA1P) is a dual-mechanism vascular disrupting agent (VDA) that is being developed in clinical studies for the treatment of solid tumors. Like its structural analog, ZYBRESTAT (fosbretabulin / CA4P), OXi4503 has been observed to block and destroy tumor vasculature, resulting in extensive tumor cell death and necrosis. In addition, preclinical data indicate that OXi4503 is metabolized by oxidative enzymes (e.g., tyrosinase and peroxidases), which are elevated in many solid tumors and tumor white blood cell infiltrates, to an orthoquinone chemical species that has direct cytotoxic effects on tumor cells. Preclinical studies have shown that OXi4503 has (i) single-agent activity against a range of xenograft tumor models; and (ii) synergistic or additive effects when incorporated in various combination regimens with chemotherapy, molecularly-targeted therapies (including tumor-angiogenesis inhibitors), and radiation therapy. OXi4503 is currently being evaluated as a monotherapy in a Phase 1 dose-escalation study in patients with advanced solid tumors and in a Phase 1b/2a study in patients with hepatic tumor burden.
