 DANCE PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK 
  

			
	No. W-1	  	November 15, 2010

 THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received,
AEROGEN LIMITED, a private limited company incorporated in Ireland with its principal office located at Galway Business Park, Dangan, Ireland, or its assigns (the “Holder”),
is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time during the Exercise Period (as defined below), to subscribe for and purchase from DANCE
PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation, with its principal office at 2 Mint Plaza, Suite 804, San Francisco, CA 94103 (the “Company”), up to One Hundred and Ninety Four Thousand Two
Hundred and Eighty Eight (194,288) shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), subject to adjustment as set forth herein.
The purchase price of one share of Common Stock (the “Exercise Price”) under this Warrant shall be $0.01, subject to adjustment hereunder. 

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. 

1.1 General. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, by
delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth above (or at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder): 

(a) An executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1; 

(b) Subject to Section 1.2 hereof, payment of the Exercise Price either in cash or by certified check or wire transfer to
an account designated by the Company; and 
 (c) This Warrant. 

Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares so purchased, registered in
the name of the Holder or persons affiliated with the Holder, if the Holder so designates, shall be issued and delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised. In the event
that this Warrant is being exercised for less than all of the then-current number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, the Company shall, concurrently with the issuance by the Company of the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is
then being exercised, issue a new Warrant exercisable for the remaining number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. 







 The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or
certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next
succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open. 
 1.2 Net Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the
contrary, if the fair market value of one Warrant Share is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the
value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A-2 in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula: 
  

									
		 		    	X =	  	Y (A-B)	  	
		 		    		  	A	  	
			
	Where	 	X =	    	the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder
			
		 	Y =	    	the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation)
			
		 	A =	    	the fair market value of one Warrant Share (at the date of such calculation)
			
		 	B =	    	the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

 For purposes of the above calculation, the fair market value of one Warrant Share shall be determined by the Company’s
Board of Directors in good faith; provided, however, that in the event that this Warrant is exercised pursuant to Section 1.1 (A) in connection with the Company’s initial public offering of its
Common Stock (“IPO”) or (B) in connection with a Change of Control (as defined below), the fair market value per share shall be the price per share of Warrant Shares as set forth in the definitive purchase or merger
agreement relating to that Change of Control. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Change of Control” means the closing of the Company’s sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or the closing of the acquisition of the
Company by another entity by means of merger, consolidation or other transaction or series of related transactions, resulting in the exchange of the outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock such that the stockholders of the Company
prior to such transaction own, directly or indirectly, less the fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving entity. 

  
 -2- 








 1.3 Stockholder Agreements. Exercise of the Warrant may be conditioned upon the
Holder’s execution of such stockholder agreement(s) as the Company may require (collectively, the “Stockholder Agreements”). Such agreement(s) may include terms and conditions that provide the Company and/or other
stockholders with (i) a right of first refusal with respect to the Warrant Shares, (ii) “drag-along” rights in favor of the stockholders owning a majority of shares of capital stock of the Company, (iii) “market
standoff” or “lock-up” conditions, and i(iv) such other terms and conditions as the Company may require; provided that, upon exercise of this Warrant and the said such agreement(s) shall be amended to will include
“tag-along” rights in favor of the Holder provide the Holder with customary co-sale rights to participate on a pro rate basis on certain sales of shares of Common Stock proposed to be made by certain key holders of Common Stock (the
“Key Holders”). For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall the Holder have any co-sale or any other similar rights on any proposed sales of shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock, whether proposed to be
made by any Key Holders or any other holders of shares of Preferred Stock of the Company. 
 2. COVENANTS
OF THE COMPANY. 
 2.1 Covenants as to Warrant Shares. The Company covenants and
agrees that all Warrant Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with
respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that it will at all times prior to the Termination Date (as defined below) have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of Warrant Shares to
provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If at any time prior to the Termination Date the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company
will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. 

2.2 Notices of Certain Transactions. In case: 

(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon the
exercise/conversion of this Warrant) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to
receive any other right, to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right, or 

(b) of any Change of Control or capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, any
consolidation or merger of the Company, any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving entity), or any transfer of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company, or 
 (c) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, or 

(d) an IPO, 

  
 -3- 








 then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder of this Warrant a notice
specifying, as the case may be, (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date
on which such Change of Control, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, redemption conversion or IPO is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of
record of Common Stock (or such other stock or securities at the time deliverable upon such Change of Control, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, redemption, conversion or IPO)
are to be determined. Such notice shall be mailed at least twenty (20) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice. 

3. TERMINATION.  

(a) The right to exercise this Warrant shall commence on the date of issuance (the “Commencement Date”) and,
subject to Section 3(b) below, this Warrant and the right to purchase securities upon exercise hereof shall terminate on November 15, 2015 (five years from the Commencement Date) (the “Expiration Date” and
the period commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the Expiration Date, the “Exercise Period”). 
 (b)
In the event of, at any time during the Exercise Period, the Company consummates an IPO or a Change of Control, this Warrant shall be deemed expired upon the date such IPO is closed or the occurrence of such Change of Control, provided the
Company provides the Holder with prior notice of such IPO or Change of Control in accordance with Section 2.2 above. 
 4.
ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. 

(a) If outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares or a dividend in
Common Stock shall be paid in respect of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or immediately after the
record date of such dividend be proportionately reduced. If outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the
effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined
by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the
Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment. 
 (b) In case there occurs any reclassification or change of the
outstanding securities of the Company or of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this 

  
 -4- 








 
Warrant) or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such
reclassification, change, or reorganization shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such
Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4. 

5. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a
consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Warrant Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share.
If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting
from multiplying the then current fair market value of a Warrant Share by such fraction. 
 6. TRANSFER OF
WARRANT AND WARRANT SHARES. 
 (a) Each Holder of this Warrant
acknowledges that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or
otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares issued upon its exercise in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to this Warrant or such Warrant Shares and registration or qualification of
this Warrant or such Warrant Shares under any applicable U.S. federal or state securities law then in effect, or (ii) an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and qualification are not required. Each
certificate or other instrument for Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall bear a legend substantially to the foregoing effect. 

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 6(a) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or
in part, upon surrender of the Warrant with a properly executed assignment (in the form of Exhibit B hereto) at the principal office of the Company. 

(c) The Company will maintain a register containing the names and addresses of the Holders of this Warrant. Until any transfer of this
Warrant is made in the warrant register, the Company may treat the Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes; provided, however, that if this Warrant is properly assigned in blank, the Company may (but shall
not be required to) treat the bearer hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any Holder may change such Holder’s address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company
requesting such change. 
 7. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of
incorporation or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms 

  
 -5- 








 
of this Warrant, but will (subject to Section 13 below) at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder of this Warrant against impairment. 
 8. NO
STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. 

9. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT.
If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new
Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed
Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone. 
 10. NOTICES. All notices and other communications given or made
pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of
the recipient, and if not so confirmed, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a
nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the respective parties at their address as set forth above, or to such e-mail address, facsimile number
or address as subsequently modified by written notice given in accordance with this Section 10. If notice is given to the Company, a copy shall also be sent to Lowenstein Sandler, PC, 65 Livingston Avenue, Roseland, New Jersey 07068,
Attention: Michael J. Lerner, Esq. 
 11. ACCEPTANCE. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute
acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein. 
 12. GOVERNING LAW;
JURISDICTION; VENUE. This Warrant, and all matters arising directly and indirectly herefrom (the “Covered Matters”), shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Delaware as
such laws are applied to agreements between parties in Delaware. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California and the United States District Court for the Northern District of
California for the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of the Covered Matters. Service of process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on each party hereto anywhere in the
world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to the laying of venue in
such court. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court
has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 13. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Any term of this
Warrant may be amended or waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
