 Vesting
Schedule: 
  
 This Option shall vest and become exercisable
according to the following vesting schedule: 
  

	 	










 Termination Period: 
  
 This Option shall be exercisable for three (3) months after Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider. Upon Optionee’s
death or Disability, this Option may be exercised for one (1) year after Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider. In no event may Optionee exercise this Option after the Term/Expiration Date as provided above. 
  
 II.    AGREEMENT 
  
 1.    Grant of Option.    The
Plan Administrator of the Company hereby grants to the Optionee named in the Notice of Grant (the “Optionee”), an option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per
Share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the “Exercise Price”), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the
terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. 
  
 If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as
defined in Section 422 of the Code. Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d), this Option shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option (“NSO”). 
  
 2.    Exercise of Option. 
  
 (a)    Right to
Exercise.    This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Grant and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. 
  
 (b)    Method of
Exercise.    This Option shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”) which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of
Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised
Shares. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price. 
  
 No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such exercise
complies with Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares. 
  
 3.    Optionee’s
Representations.    In the event the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time this Option is exercised, the Optionee shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with the
exercise of all or any portion of this Option, deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. 
  

 2 









 4.    Lock-Up Period.    Optionee hereby agrees that
Optionee shall not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or
indirectly, any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company or enter into any swap, hedging or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Common Stock (or other
securities) of the Company held by Optionee (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company not to exceed one hundred eighty (180)
days following the effective date of any registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act. 
  
 Optionee agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter which are
consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, Optionee shall provide,
within ten (10) days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed
under the Securities Act. The obligations described in this Section shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration
relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to
the foregoing restriction until the end of said one hundred eighty (180) day period. Optionee agrees that any transferee of the Option or shares acquired pursuant to the Option shall be bound by this Section. 
  
 5.    Method of
Payment.    Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee: 
  
 (a)    cash or check; 
  
 (b)    consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless exercise program
adopted by the Company in connection with the Plan; or 
  
 (c)    surrender of other Shares which, (i) in the case of Shares acquired from the Company, either directly or indirectly, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (ii)
have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares. 
  
 6.    Restrictions on Exercise.    This Option may not be exercised until such time as the Plan has been
approved by the stockholders of the Company, or if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Law. 
  
 7.    Non-Transferability of
Option.    This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the 

  

 3 









 
lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors
and assigns of the Optionee. 
  
 8.    Optionee Share Transfer Restrictions.    Optionee hereby acknowledges, understands and agrees to the share transfer restrictions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 of the Exercise Notice
attached hereto as Exhibit A. 
  
 9.    Term of Option.    This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms
of this Option. 
  
 10.    Tax
Obligations. 
  
 (a)    Withholding Taxes.    Optionee agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for the satisfaction of all Federal,
state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the Option exercise. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding
amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise. 
  
 (b)    Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares.    If the Option granted to Optionee herein is an ISO, and if Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired
pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (1) the date two years after the Date of Grant, or (2) the date one year after the date of exercise, the Optionee shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. Optionee agrees that
Optionee may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by the Optionee. 
  
 11.    Entire Agreement; Governing Law.    The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this
Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof,
and may not be modified adversely to the Optionee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Optionee. This agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws but not the choice of law rules of Delaware. 

 
 12.    No Guarantee of Continued
Service.    OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING
HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER). OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH OPTIONEE’S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE OPTIONEE’S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE
PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

 South San Francisco, CA 94080 
  
 Attention: Assistant Secretary 
  
 1.    Exercise of Option.    Effective as of today,             ,
            , the undersigned (“Optionee”) hereby elects to exercise Optionee’s option to purchase             
shares of the Common Stock (the “Shares”) of Tercica Medica, Inc. (the “Company”) under and pursuant to the 2002 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) and the Stock Option Agreement dated
             (the “Option Agreement”). 
  
 2.    Delivery of Payment.    Purchaser herewith delivers to the Company the full purchase price of the
Shares, as set forth in the Option Agreement, and any and all withholding taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Option. 
  
 3.    Representations of Optionee.    Optionee acknowledges that Optionee has received, read and understood
the Plan and the Option Agreement and agrees to abide by and be bound by their terms and conditions. 
  
 4.    Rights as Stockholder.    Until the issuance of the Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on
the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.
The Shares shall be issued to the Optionee as soon as practicable after the Option is exercised in accordance with the Option Agreement. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date of
issuance except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan. 
  
 5.    Optionee Share Transfer Restrictions.    Sections 5(b)-(c) shall only apply in the event Optionee is an Employee (as defined in the 2002 Stock Plan) of Company on the Date of Grant or at
any time thereafter. 
  
 (a)    For purposes of this Section 5, the following terms shall have the following definitions: 
  
 (i)    “Common Stock” shall mean the Common Stock of the Company. 








 (ii)    “Fully Diluted Basis” shall mean the then
outstanding shares of Common Stock, including all shares of Common Stock into which outstanding shares of preferred stock of the Company are then convertible, shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants or other
convertible securities, and any Common Stock reserved for future issuance pursuant to plans approved by the Board of Directors. 
  
 (iii)    “Qualified IPO” shall mean the Company’s initial registration statement under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to a firm commitment public offering of securities of the Company (other than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock
purchase or similar plan or a Rule 145 transaction) pursuant to which (x) the per share offering price to the public (prior to the deduction of underwriter commissions and expenses) is equal to or exceeds $3.00 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock
dividends, reclassifications, subdivisions, combinations and the like) and (y) the aggregate proceeds to the Company is equal to or exceeds $35,000,000. 
  
 (b)    Optionee hereby agrees that in the event he or she shall at any time beneficially own shares of Common Stock
(excluding shares of Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of shares of preferred stock of the Company) representing that number of shares that is equal to or greater than 0.25% of the then-outstanding capital stock of the Company on a
Fully Diluted Basis, Optionee agrees not to dispose of any shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by him or her (unless the Board of Directors, including a majority of the directors designated by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock,
consents to the proposed transfer), until the earliest to occur of the following: (i) there remain outstanding less than 10,000,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock purchased by investors in the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock
financing (which financing was consummated on May 16, 2002); (ii) the closing of the Company’s Qualified IPO; (iii) the closing of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company whether voluntary or involuntary including any sale,
exchange, conveyance or other disposition of the capital stock of the Company in a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company is disposed of, or the sale of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets (a “Change of Control Transaction”); and (iv) May 16, 2010 (the eighth anniversary of the Series A Financing transaction referenced above). 
  
 (c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Optionee may transfer all or part of his or her shares of Common Stock without approval of the Board of Directors, subject to Section 6 below, in the following circumstances: 
  
 (i)    any transfer of shares of Common Stock to Optionee’s ancestors, descendants,
descendants of such ancestors, spouse or ex-spouse (in connection with divorce proceedings) or to a trust for their benefit; 
  
 (ii)    any pledge of the shares of Common Stock made by Optionee pursuant to a bona fide loan transaction which
creates a mere security interest; 
  
 (iii)    any sale or transfer of up to an aggregate of 5% of the shares of Common Stock held by Optionee; or 
  

 2 









 (iv)    any repurchase of shares of Common Stock by the Company
pursuant to agreements under which the Company has the option to repurchase such shares of Common Stock upon the occurrence of certain events, such as termination of employment, or in connection with the exercise by the Company of any rights of
first refusal; 
  
 provided, that (A) Optionee shall inform the Company of
such pledge or transfer prior to effecting it, and (B) with respect to sub-sections (i)-(iii) above, the pledgee or transferee shall furnish the Company with a written agreement to be bound by and comply with all provisions of this Exercise Notice,
the Option Agreement and the Investment Representation, as applicable to the Optionee. 
  
 (d)    In the event Optionee (i) is or becomes an executive officer of the Company, (ii) is or becomes a director of
the Company (excluding directors designated by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock), or (iii) at any time beneficially owns shares of Common Stock (excluding shares of Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of shares of preferred stock
of the Company) representing that number of shares that is greater than 1.75% of the Company’s capital stock on a Fully Diluted Basis, such Optionee hereby agrees to execute and become a Restricted Party under, and within the meaning of, the
Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement dated May 16, 2002 (as may be amended from time-to-time) (the “ROFR Agreement”), a copy of which is available for review by Optionee upon request made to the Assistant Secretary of the Company.

  
 6.    Company’s Right of First
Refusal.    Before any Shares held by Optionee or any transferee (either being sometimes referred to herein as the “Holder”) may be sold or otherwise transferred (including transfer by gift or operation of law), the
Company or its assignee(s) shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (the “Right of First Refusal”); provided, however, that the provisions of this Section shall not
apply in the event Optionee is a Restricted Party under the ROFR Agreement. 
  
 (a)    Notice of Proposed Transfer.    The Holder of the Shares shall deliver to the Company a written notice (the “Notice”) stating: (i) the Holder’s bona
fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer such Shares; (ii) the name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (“Proposed Transferee”); (iii) the number of Shares to be transferred to each Proposed Transferee; and (iv) the bona
fide cash price or other consideration for which the Holder proposes to transfer the Shares (the “Offered Price”), and the Holder shall offer the Shares at the Offered Price to the Company or its assignee(s). 
  
 (b)    Exercise of Right of First
Refusal.    At any time within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may, by giving written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares proposed
to be transferred to any one or more of the Proposed Transferees, at the purchase price determined in accordance with subsection (c) below. 
  
 (c)    Purchase Price.    The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Shares
purchased by the Company or its assignee(s) under this Section shall be the Offered Price. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company in good faith. 
  

 3 









 (d)    Payment.    Payment of the Purchase
Price shall be made, at the option of the Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company (or, in the case of repurchase by an assignee, to the
assignee), or by any combination thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice or in the manner and at the times set forth in the Notice. 
  
 (e)    Holder’s Right to Transfer.    If all of the Shares proposed in the Notice to
be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased by the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this Section, then the Holder may, subject to Section 5 above (if applicable), sell or otherwise transfer such Shares to that
Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that such sale or other transfer is consummated within 120 days after the date of the Notice, that any such sale or other transfer is effected in accordance with any applicable
securities laws and that the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this Exercise Notice shall continue to apply to the Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. If the Shares described in the Notice are not transferred
to the Proposed Transferee within such period, a new Notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the Right of First Refusal before any Shares held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise
transferred. 
  
 (f)    Exception for Certain Family Transfers.    Anything to the contrary contained in this Section notwithstanding, the transfer of any or all of the Shares during the Optionee’s
lifetime or on the Optionee’s death by will or intestacy to the Optionee’s immediate family or a trust for the benefit of the Optionee’s immediate family shall be exempt from the provisions of this Section. “Immediate
Family” as used herein shall mean spouse, lineal descendant or antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister. In such case, the transferee or other recipient shall receive and hold the Shares so transferred subject to the provisions of this
Exercise Notice, and there shall be no further transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the terms of this Exercise Notice. 
  
 (g)    Termination of Right of First Refusal.    The Right of First Refusal shall terminate
as to any Shares upon the earlier of (i) the closing of the Company’s Qualified IPO, or (ii) the closing of a Change of Control Transaction (as described above). 
  
 7.    Tax Consultation.    Optionee understands that Optionee may suffer
adverse tax consequences as a result of Optionee’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Optionee represents that Optionee has consulted with any tax consultants Optionee deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the
Shares and that Optionee is not relying on the Company for any tax advice. 
  
 8.    Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders. 
  
 (a)    Legends.    Optionee understands and agrees that the Company shall cause the legends
set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares together with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by state or federal securities laws:

  
 THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED

OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF COMPANY COUNSEL SATISFACTORY
TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH. 
  
 THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL HELD BY THE ISSUER OR ITS
ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN THE EXERCISE NOTICE BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ARE BINDING ON
TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE COMPANY OR THE MANAGING UNDERWRITER. 
  
 (b)    Stop-Transfer Notices.    Optionee agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate
“stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records. 
  
 (c)    Refusal to
Transfer.    The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Exercise Notice or (ii) to treat as owner of
such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred. 
  
 9.    Successors and Assigns.    The Company may assign any of its rights under this Exercise Notice to
single or multiple assignees, and this Exercise Notice shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Exercise Notice shall be binding upon Optionee and his or
her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. 
  
 10.    Interpretation.    Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Exercise Notice shall be submitted by Optionee or by the Company forthwith to the Administrator which shall review
such dispute at its next regular meeting. The resolution of such a dispute by the Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties.

 INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT 
  

	 OPTIONEE:

	    	TERCICA MEDICA, INC.
		
	 SECURITY:
	    	COMMON STOCK
		
	 AMOUNT:
	    	 
		
	 DATE:
	    	 

  
 In connection with the
purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Optionee represents to the Company the following: 
  
 (a)    Optionee is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient
information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Optionee is acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection
with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 
  
 (b)    Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute “restricted securities” under
the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Optionee’s investment intent as expressed
herein. In this connection, Optionee understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if Optionee’s representation was predicated solely upon a present intention
to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the
future. Optionee further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Optionee further acknowledges and understands
that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Optionee understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with any legend required under applicable state securities laws. 
  
 (c)    Optionee is familiar with the
provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to the Optionee, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the
event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of 









 
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require)
the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited “broker’s transaction” or in
transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of Securities being
sold during any three month period not exceeding the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable. 
  
 In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in
certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the Securities were sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate
of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the Securities less than two years, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above. 
  
 (d)    Optionee further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A,
or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private
placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such
persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be available in such event.
