 (ii) Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Section 2(a)(i) above, in the event the SEC informs

effectiveness of any Registration Statement under this Section 2(a) if the SEC has informed the Company in the SEC review process that any Buyer would be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act in connection therewith, and the Company in
so refraining from filing or requesting acceleration, shall not be in violation or breach of this Agreement. 
  

 3 

 (iii) Subject to the forgoing, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Initial
Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement, and any Remainder Registration Statements declared effective as soon as practicable after the initial filing thereof. The Company shall notify the Buyers by facsimile or e-mail as promptly
as practicable, and in any event, within one (1) Business Day, after any such Registration Statement is declared effective and shall provide the Buyers with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other
disposition of the securities covered thereby.
 (iv) Except as contemplated by the ABN Registration Rights Agreement and the 2007
Registration Rights Agreement, during the period beginning on the Initial Exchange Date and ending on the Effectiveness Date, the Company shall refrain from filing, any registration statement other than (A) a Registration Statement filed
hereunder or (B) a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to stock option plans and agreements and stock plans currently in effect and disclosed in the Purchase Agreement or the schedules thereto. In addition, except as contemplated by
the ABN Registration Rights Agreement and the 2007 Registration Rights Agreement, during the term of this Agreement, in no event shall the Company include any securities other than the Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement filed by
the Company on behalf of the Buyers pursuant to the terms of this Section 2(a). 
 (v) Deferral. If (A) in the good faith
judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company (excluding any interested directors), the filing of a registration statement under this Section 2(b) covering the Registrable Securities would be materially detrimental to the Company and the
Board of Directors of the Company (excluding any interested directors) concludes, as a result, that it is in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of such registration statement at such time, and (B) the Company shall furnish to
such Buyers a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company (excluding any interested directors), it would be
materially detrimental to the Company for such registration statement to be filed in the near future and that it is, therefore, in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of such registration statement, then the Company shall have the
right to defer such filing for a period of not more than forty-five (45) days beyond the Filing Deadline, and, provided further, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any twelve (12) month period;
provided that this Section 2(a)(v) shall become null and void immediately upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Note). 
 (b) Demand Registration Rights. 
 (i) Generally. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2(b), if, at
any time after the Filing Deadline and prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (as defined in Section 4(a) below), (x) a Registration Statement covering the sale of all of the Registrable Securities is not then effective and
available for sales thereof by the Buyers, and (y) the Company shall receive from any Buyer or Buyers holding at least 25% of the Registrable Securities (the “Initiating Buyers”) a written request signed by such Initiating
Buyers that the Company effect a registration with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities (which request shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended methods of disposition of such
shares by such Initiating Buyers), the Company will: 
 (A) promptly (but in case more than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such
request) give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Buyers; and 
  

 4 

 (B) as soon as practicable, file and use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration
(including, without limitation, filing post-effective amendments, appropriate qualifications under applicable U.S. blue sky or other state securities laws, and appropriate compliance with the Securities Act) and to permit or facilitate the sale and
distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Buyer or Buyers joining in such request as are specified in a written request
received by the Company within ten (10) days after such written notice from the Company is mailed or delivered. 
 (ii)
Limitations. The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 2(b): 
 (A) If the Initiating Buyers, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration statement (the “Other Holders”), propose to sell Registrable
Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate offering price (after deduction of underwriters’ discounts and expenses related to issuance) of less than U.S.$10,000,000; 
 (B) After the Company has initiated two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section 2(b) (counting for these purposes only
(I) registrations which have been declared or ordered effective and pursuant to which securities have been sold, and (II) a demand registration right under this Section 2(b) that the Buyers have affirmatively forfeited; or 
 (C) During the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending
on a date one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration; provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to
become effective. 
 (iii) Deferral. If (A) in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company (excluding any
interested directors), the filing of a registration statement under this Section 2(b) covering the Registrable Securities would be materially detrimental to the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company (excluding any interested
directors) concludes, as a result, that it is in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of such registration statement at such time, and (B) the Company shall furnish to such Buyers a certificate signed by the Chief Executive
Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company (excluding any interested directors), it would be materially detrimental to the Company for such registration
statement to be filed in the near future and that it is, therefore, in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of such registration statement, then (in addition to the limitations set forth in Section 2(b)(ii) above) the Company
shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Buyers, and, provided further, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than twice
in any twelve (12) month period. 
  

 5 

 (iv) Other Shares. The registration statement filed pursuant to the request of the Initiating
Buyers may, subject to the provisions of Section 2(b)(v) below, include (A) securities of the Company being sold for the account of the Company and (B) shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Company has, prior to the date
hereof, granted registration rights (“Other Shares”) pursuant to the ABN Registration Rights Agreement and the 2007 Registration Rights Agreement (such rights, “Existing Registration Rights”). 
 (v) Underwriting. 
 (A) If the
Initiating Buyers intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2(b) and the Company shall include
such information in the written notice given pursuant to Section 2(b)(i)(A). In such event, the right of any Buyer to include all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in such registration pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be
conditioned upon such Buyer’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Buyer’s Registrable Securities to the extent provided herein. If the Company shall request inclusion in any registration pursuant to this
Section 2(b) of securities being sold for its own account, or if holders of Other Shares shall request inclusion in any registration pursuant to this Section 2(b), the Initiating Buyers shall, on behalf of all Buyers, offer to include such
securities in the underwriting and such offer shall be conditioned upon the participation of the Company or such other persons in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Company’s and such Other Holders’ other securities of the Company
and their acceptance of the further applicable provisions of this Section 2. The Company shall (together with all Buyers and Other Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement
in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company, which underwriters are reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Buyers. 
 (B) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2(b), if the underwriters advise the Initiating Buyers in writing that marketing factors
require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of Registrable Securities and Other Shares that may be so included shall be allocated as follows: (I) first, among all Buyers requesting to include Registrable
Securities in such registration statement based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities held by such Buyers; (II) second, to holders of Other Shares electing to register shares in connection with such registration; and (III) third, to
the Company, which the Company may allocate, at its discretion, for its own account, or for the account of Other Holders or employees of the Company. 
 (C) If a person who has requested inclusion in a registration pursuant to this Section 2(b) does not agree to the terms of any underwriting in accordance with this Section 2(b)(v), such person shall be
excluded from the underwriting by written notice from the Company, the underwriter or the Initiating Buyers. The securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from registration. If shares are so withdrawn from the registration and if the number of
shares to be included in such registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to Section 2(b)(v)(B) above, then the Company shall then offer to all Buyers and holders of Other Shares who have elected to include and
retained rights to include securities in the registration the right to include additional Registrable Securities or Other Shares, as applicable, in the registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares
to be allocated among such Buyers and Other Holders requesting additional inclusion, in order of priority as set forth in Section 2(b)(v)(B) above. 
  

 6 

 (c) Piggyback Registration Rights. 
 (i) Generally. If, at any time after the Filing Deadline and prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (as defined in Section 4(a)
below), (i) the Company proposes to register shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such shares for cash other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4 or any successor or other
forms promulgated for similar purposes (a “Proposed Registration”) and (ii) a Registration Statement covering the sale of all of the Registrable Securities is not then effective and available for sales thereof by the Buyers,
the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Buyer written notice of such Proposed Registration. Each Buyer shall have ten (10) Business Days from its receipt of such notice to deliver to the Company a written request specifying the
amount of Registrable Securities that such Buyer intends to sell and such Buyer’s intended method of distribution. Upon receipt of such request, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities which the Company has
been requested to register to be registered under the Securities Act to the extent necessary to permit their sale or other disposition in accordance with the intended methods of distribution specified in the request of such Buyer; provided,
however, that the Company shall have the right to postpone or withdraw any registration effected pursuant to this Section 2(c) without obligation to the Buyers. 
 (ii) Underwriting. 
 (A) If the Registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered
public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise each of the Buyers as part of the written notice given pursuant to 2(c)(i). In such event, the right of any Buyer to include all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in
such registration pursuant to this Section 2(c) shall be conditioned upon such Buyer’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Buyer’s Registrable Securities to the extent provided herein. If a Buyer shall request
inclusion in any registration pursuant to this Section 2(c) of its Registrable Securities, the Company shall offer to include such securities in the underwriting and such offer shall be conditioned upon the participation of such Buyer and the
inclusion of such Buyer’s Registrable Securities and their acceptance of the further applicable provisions of this Section 2(c). A Buyer whose shares are to be included in such Registration shall (together with all Buyers and Other Holders
proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. 
 (B) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2(c), if the underwriters advise the Company in writing that marketing factors require a
limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the Company shall be obligated to include in the registration statement only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which each Buyer has requested inclusion hereunder
as such underwriter(s) shall permit. Any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among the Buyers seeking to include Registrable Securities in a registration statement, in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities sought

  

 7 

 
to be included by such Buyers; provided, however, that the Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company has first excluded
all outstanding securities, the holders of which are not entitled to inclusion of such securities in the registration statement or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and provided, further, that, after
giving effect to the immediately preceding provision, any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of other securities underlying Existing Registration Rights who have elected to include such securities in the
registration statement 
 (C) If a person who has requested inclusion in a registration pursuant to this Section 2(c) does not agree to
the terms of any underwriting in accordance with this Section 2(c)(ii), such person shall be excluded from the underwriting by written notice from the Company or the underwriter. The securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from
registration. If shares are so withdrawn from the registration and if the number of shares to be included in such registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii)(B) above, then the Company shall
then offer to all Buyers and holders of Other Shares who have elected to include and retained rights to include securities in the registration the right to include additional Registrable Securities or Other Shares, as applicable, in the registration
in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares to be allocated among such Buyers and Other Holders requesting additional inclusion, in order of priority as set forth in Section 2(c)(ii)(B) above. 

(d) Expenses. The Issuer will pay all expenses associated with each registration, including filing and printing fees, the Company’s
counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws and listing fees, but excluding fees and expenses of counsel to the Buyers, discounts, commissions,
fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold, provided that the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses, not to exceed
U.S.$10,000 in the aggregate, of one counsel for the Buyers. 
 (e) Conversion From Form S-1 to Form S-3. In the event any
Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities is on a Form S-1, the Company shall convert each such Registration Statement into a registration statement on Form S-3 within 30 days of the Company becoming eligible to file a registration
statement on Form S-3. 
  

	3.	Suspension. 

 (a) Subject to
Section 3(b) below, in the event: (i) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement for amendments or supplements to the Registration
Statement or related prospectus or for additional information so that the Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or otherwise fail to comply with the applicable rules and regulations of the federal securities laws; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from
qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for resale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of 

  

 8 

 
any proceeding for such purpose, provided that, considering the advice of counsel, the Company reasonably believes that it must qualify in such jurisdiction;
(iv) of any event or circumstance that, considering the advice of counsel, the Company reasonably believes necessitates the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or related prospectus, or any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference, so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of a related prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or any 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; or (v) that the Company reasonably believes, considering the advice of counsel, that the Company may, in the absence of a suspension described hereunder, be
required under state or federal securities laws to disclose any corporate development, the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Company, its stockholders, a potentially material transaction or
event involving the Company, or any negotiations, discussions or proposals directly relating thereto; then the Company shall deliver a certificate in writing (the “Suspension Notice”) to each holder of Registrable Securities (the
“Holder”) to the effect of the foregoing (but in no event, without the prior written consent of a Buyer, shall the Company disclose to such Buyer any of the facts or circumstances regarding any material nonpublic information) and,
upon receipt of such Suspension Notice, the Holder will refrain from selling any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement (a “Suspension”) until the Holder’s receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended
prospectus prepared and filed by the Company or until the Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the current prospectus may be used and the Holder has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or
deemed incorporated by reference in any such prospectus. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not suspend any Registration
Statement or related prospectus for more than forty-five (45) consecutive days or for a total of more than ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period (each a “Permitted Suspension” and together the
“Permitted Suspensions”). 
 (c) The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate a Suspension as promptly
as practicable after delivery of a Suspension Notice to the Holders. 
 4. Company Obligations. The Company will use commercially
reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, at the expense of the Issuer:

 (c) provide copies to and permit counsel designated by

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 omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements

Company and the Issuer. The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Buyers and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, stockholders, members, and each Person who controls
any Buyer (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from or which arise
out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in any Registration Statement or any 

  

 13 

 
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 of 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 date of such Registration Statement or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or
supplemented) 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 (any of the foregoing,
a “Violation”), and will reimburse each Buyer and their respective directors, managers, members, officers, employees, stockholders or controlling Persons for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred as such expenses are
reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such Violation; provided, however, that the Issuer will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished in writing by a Buyer specifically for use in such
Registration Statement or Prospectus or any other offering document. 
 (b) Indemnification by the Buyers. Each Buyer agrees,
severally and jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against
any losses, claims, damages, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from or which arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission or alleged statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Buyer to the Company specifically for
inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, and (ii) any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Buyer contained in this Agreement, and will reimburse the Company, and its
directors, officers, employees, stockholders or controlling Persons for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or
paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. In no event shall the liability of a Buyer be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Buyer in connection with any claim
relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such Buyer has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission) received by such Buyer upon the sale of the
Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
 (c) Conduct of
Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying
party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the
defense of such claim, but the fees 

  

 14 

 
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or
(b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within five (5) Business Days after written notice thereof and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of
any such Person, considering the advice of counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person
elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person); and provided, further, that the failure of any
indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense
of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one additional firm of attorneys at any time for
all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the
claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. 
 (d)
Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein,
then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and
the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any
Person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a Buyer be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Buyer in connection with any claim
relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such Buyer has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission) received by such Buyer upon the sale of the
Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such contribution obligation. 
  

	7.	Miscellaneous.

sell any Product which contains any pharmaceutically active agents in addition to an HDAC Inhibitor (any such pharmaceutical product, a “Combination
Product”): (i) if there is a stand alone Product on the market in a given country which corresponds to the HDAC Inhibitor within the Combination Product, the adjustment to Net Sales for such country shall equal the Net Sales of the
Combination Product multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the current price of the Product and the denominator of which is the reasonable fair market value, in the aggregate, of all pharmaceutically active agents contained in the

Combination Product multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the reasonable fair market value of the Product and the denominator of which is the reasonable fair market value, in the aggregate, of all pharmaceutically active agents
contained in the Combination Product. If CuraGen objects to any calculation referred to in the immediately preceding sentence and the Parties cannot agree on the “fair market value” of either the Product or any of the pharmaceutically
active agents within ninety (90) days following notice of any objection, the Parties shall retain a panel of three valuation experts to make such a determination, the costs for which shall be shared equally by the Parties. Each Party shall
select one expert, who shall not be an employee of either and who shall have at least at least a university degree in economics and five (5) years experience in conducting such valuations. The two experts shall promptly select a mutually
agreeable third expert with like qualifications. The experts shall render a written opinion binding on the Parties for the relevant countries within thirty (30) days, which shall be binding, with no right of appeal, on both Parties. For the
avoidance of doubt, the disposition of Product for, or the use of Product in, pre-clinical or clinical (Phase I – III) trials or other market-focused (Phase IV or V) trials or free samples shall not result in any Net Sales, unless TopoTarget,

placements for the 5,000,000 TopoTarget Shares comprising part of the Purchase Price on terms and conditions (including price) agreed upon by CuraGen in its sole discretion, provided that CuraGen agrees it shall sell any TopoTarget Shares for
which (i) TopoTarget’s financial advisors are able to procure one or more placees for at least [**] or more TopoTarget Shares and (ii) the price per share (net of any expenses paid by CuraGen) is greater than or equal to the average

offering of more than [**] TopoTarget Shares: (x) TopoTarget shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include all of the 5,000,000 TopoTarget Shares held by CuraGen in such offering up to the maximum amount deemed prudent by
TopoTarget’s financial advisors, in which event CuraGen shall share in the reasonable and customary expenses of the offering in proportion to the total number of TopoTarget Shares sold by CuraGen and TopoTarget in such offering,
(y) CuraGen shall refrain from selling or otherwise transferring any of its TopoTarget Shares during the Initial Period until the earliest to occur of the end of the Initial Period and the completion and/or abandonment of such rights offering
and (z) CuraGen shall commit to sell in such rights offering any TopoTarget Shares it holds, provided that the price per share (net of any expenses paid by TopoTarget) is greater than or equal to the average closing price of TopoTarget Shares
on Nasdaq OMX Nordic Exchange Copenhagen over the [**] trading day period ending on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should TopoTarget notify CuraGen that it intends to engage in any public offering (other than a rights offering)
or private placement of equity securities representing more than [**] TopoTarget Shares: (x) CuraGen shall refrain from selling or otherwise transferring any of its TopoTarget Shares during the Initial Period until the earliest to occur of the
end of the Initial Period and the completion and/or abandonment of such public offering or private placement, (y) TopoTarget shall offer to use the net proceeds of such offering to repurchase at a price per share (net of any expenses paid by
TopoTarget) equal to the average closing price of TopoTarget Shares on Nasdaq OMX Nordic Exchange Copenhagen over the [**] trading day period ending on the Effective Date, provided that the offering is completed at a price per share (net of any
expenses paid by TopoTarget) greater than or equal to the average closing price of TopoTarget Shares on Nasdaq OMX Nordic Exchange Copenhagen over the [**] trading day period ending on the Effective Date, and (z) CuraGen shall commit to sell to
TopoTarget at such price any TopoTarget Shares it holds. In the event any such TopoTarget Shares have not been placed or otherwise sold in accordance with the first three (3) sentences of this Section 3.4(b) during the Initial Period,
CuraGen shall be free to trade such TopoTarget Shares, provided such trades are in compliance in all cases with the requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable laws. In furtherance of the foregoing, TopoTarget shall take all steps
necessary to ensure that the TopoTarget Shares delivered as part of the Purchase Price shall be freely tradeable under Danish law (but not the Securities Act) on Nasdaq OMX Nordic Exchange Copenhagen as soon as practicable but in no event later than
thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. In the event any such TopoTarget Shares have not been placed or otherwise sold in accordance with the first two sentences of this Section 3.4(b) during the Initial Period and are not then freely
tradeable under Danish law (but not the Securities Act) on Nasdaq OMX Nordic Exchange Copenhagen as July 8, 2008 (and CuraGen has not withheld any reasonable assistance requested by TopoTarget in connection with such freely tradeable
obligation), TopoTarget shall pay to CuraGen on a 
  

 - 15 - 

 
monthly basis in arrears an amount equal to (i) the number of such unplaced and unsold TopoTarget Shares multiplied by (ii) [**]% of the average
closing price of TopoTarget Shares on Nasdaq OMX Nordic Exchange Copenhagen over the [**] trading day period ending on the Effective Date multiplied by (iii) the number of days elapsed since the later of (a) July 8, 2008 and
(b) the last payment made pursuant to this sentence of this Section 3.4(b). With respect solely to the question of whether the TopoTarget Shares are freely tradeable prior to the expiration of the Initial Period (and not including any
other default relating to the issuance of the TopoTarget Shares), such payment shall be TopoTarget’s sole liability and CuraGen’s sole remedy. CuraGen acknowledges that the TopoTarget Shares have not been registered under the Securities
Act, and therefore all transactions in such TopoTarget Shares shall be conducted in transactions exempt from, or not subject to the registration requirements of, the Securities Act. 
 (c) For Net Sales of Products by TopoTarget and its Affiliates (but not for Net Sales by any Sublicensee), TopoTarget shall pay to CuraGen a royalty
equal to [**] percent ([**]%) of the total Net Sales of Products received by TopoTarget or any Affiliate until such time as the amounts paid to CuraGen under this Section 3.4(c) and Section 3.4(d) below equal Six Million Dollars
($6,000,000) in the aggregate. 
 (d) With respect to any Sublicense to any Sublicensee, TopoTarget shall pay to CuraGen an amount equal to
[**] percent ([**]%) of the Sublicense Income actually received in cash by TopoTarget until such time as the amounts paid to CuraGen under Section 3.4(c) above and this Section 3.4(d) equal Six Million United States Dollars ($6,000,000) in
the aggregate. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, only one royalty or other payment shall be paid to CuraGen
for each unit of Product sold regardless of how many transactions may occur between manufacture of the unit of Product and purchase by the final end user, it being understood and agreed that (i) any royalty under Section 3.4(c) will be
based upon the first arms length transaction between TopoTarget (or any Affiliate) and any Third Party, (ii) any payment under Section 3.4(d) shall only arise at the time of receipt in cash by TopoTarget of Sublicense Income and
(iii) for the avoidance of doubt, sale of any specific unit of Product may only be eligible for a potential payment under either Section 3.4(c) or Section 3.4(d) but not both such Sections. 
 Section 3.5 Allocation of Purchase Price. 
 (a) CuraGen and TopoTarget agree that the Purchase Price and related consideration and reimbursement of expenses provided herein shall be allocated among the Transferred Assets on the basis of an allocation attached

Confidential Information was in the public domain before it was furnished to the relevant Party or, after it was furnished to that Party, entered the public domain otherwise than as a result of (A) a breach by that Party of this
Section 10.6 or any written confidentiality agreement to which any of CuraGen or TopoTarget is a party or (B) a disclosure by the receiving Party in violation of a confidentiality obligation; (ii) information was received by the
receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a Third Party who, as far as the receiving Party is aware, is not prohibited from disclosing such information to the receiving Party by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation to the disclosing
Party; (iii) the information was independently developed by CuraGen, TopoTarget or any of their Affiliates, as applicable, after the Effective Date without reliance on the information disclosed by the disclosing Party; or (iv) disclosure
is necessary in order to comply with applicable legislation, regulatory requirements, legal process, stock exchange rules or to obtain tax or other clearances or consents from a taxation authority, provided that any such information
disclosable pursuant to this Section 10.6(b)(iv) shall be disclosed only to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirement or regulatory requirements and (unless such consultation is prohibited by applicable Legal Requirement or regulatory
requirements or is not reasonably practicable) only after consultation with TopoTarget or CuraGen (as the case may be). 
 Section 10.7
Noncompetition Covenant. 
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.7, during the Period commencing on the
Effective Date and ending on the [**] anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Restricted Period”), CuraGen hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that none of CuraGen or its Affiliates shall, or shall enable a Third
Party, to directly or indirectly, whether through license or otherwise, develop, market, sell, detail, promote, co-promote or distribute any pharmaceutical product containing an HDAC Inhibitor as an active ingredient (“Competing
Product”) anywhere in the world. 
 (b) The restrictions set forth in Section 10.7(a) above shall not apply to the development or
commercialization of a Competing Product owned or controlled by any Person (an “Acquiror”) who directly or indirectly acquires a majority of the outstanding common stock of CuraGen or any Affiliate of such Acquiror; provided
that (i) such Acquiror or any Affiliate of such Acquiror was not an Affiliate of CuraGen prior to the Effective Date, (ii) such Competing Product was in existence immediately prior to the time that such Third Party (or its Affiliate)
became an Acquiror and (iii) in all cases neither such Acquiror nor any Affiliate uses any CuraGen Collaboration Technology, Joint Collaboration Technology or Licensed CuraGen Rights in connection with such Competing Product. 
  

 - 28 - 

 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.7(a), none of CuraGen or any Affiliate shall
be deemed to be in violation of Section 10.7(a) or to have enabled, directly or indirectly, a Third Party to market, sell, detail, promote or distribute a Competing Product by virtue of an acquisition and subsequent divestiture of a Competing
Product that was acquired in connection with the acquisition of other rights or interests in an entity (for purposes other than the acquisition of the Competing Product as the primary purpose), provided that such divestiture (i) is
completed within 365 days of the initial acquisition of such rights or interests, (ii) such divestiture occurs by either (x) an outright sale of all such Competing Product rights to a Third Party or (y) an out-license (exclusive as to
CuraGen and its Affiliates) to a Third Party of all such rights to develop and commercialize such Competing Product and (iii) after such divestiture none of CuraGen or its Affiliates exercises or has the ability to exercise any role or to
influence in any manner the development or commercialization of such Competing Product that has been divested during the Restricted Period. 
 (d) If CuraGen breaches any of the provisions of Sections 10.7, TopoTarget shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which shall be independent of the others and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and
not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to TopoTarget at law or in equity, the right and remedy to have this Section 10.7 specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach of this
Section 10.7 would cause irreparable injury to TopoTarget and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to TopoTarget. 
 (e) Each Party acknowledges and agrees that provisions of this Section 10.7 are reasonable in temporal scope and in other respects. If any court determines that any of the provisions of this Section 10.7, or any part thereof, is
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions of this Section 10.7 shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full force and effect, without regard to the invalid portions. If any court determines that any of the provisions of
this Section 10.7, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision, such court shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope, as the case may be, of such provision, and, in its reduced
form, such provision shall then be enforceable. 
 Section 10.8 Mutual Release. 
 In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, each Party, for itself and for each of its Affiliates, hereby generally, irrevocably,
unconditionally and completely releases and forever discharges the other Party, such other Party’s Affiliates, and its and their officers, directors, stockholders, agents, employees, heirs, administrators, executors, predecessors, successors
and assigns (hereinafter, the “Released Parties”) from, and hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and completely waives and relinquishes, each of such Party’s Released Claims. The Parties acknowledge they are aware that they may
hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those now known or believed to be true with respect to the subject matter of this release, but that it is their intention to hereby fully, finally and forever settle and release all such
claims, disputes and differences, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that now exist or heretofore have existed between the Parties and that in furtherance of such intention, this release 

  

 - 29 - 

 
shall remain in effect as a full and complete release notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts. The term
“Released Claims,” when used herein with respect to a Party, shall mean and include each and every claim, charge, complaint, demand, action, cause of action, suit, right, debt, sum of money, cost, reckoning, covenant, contract,
agreement, promise, doing, omission, damage, execution, obligation, liability and expense (including attorneys’ fees and costs), of every kind and nature, whether at law or in equity, that such Party may have had in the past, may now have or
may have in the future against the Released Parties, and which has arisen or arises directly or indirectly out of, or relates directly or indirectly to, any circumstance, agreement, activity, action, omission, event or matter occurring or existing
on or prior to the Effective Date to the extent such claim relates to or arises under the License and Collaboration Agreement; provided, however, that the Released Claims shall exclude: (1) any and all rights to seek and obtain
indemnification for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement (or, as provided herein, under the License and Collaboration Agreement); and (2) any and all rights to seek and obtain enforcement of, or
a remedy arising out of the breach of, any obligation provided for in this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE XI. 
 CERTAIN ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

consultants and independent accountants) incurred in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 Section 11.2 Notification of Certain Matters. CuraGen shall give prompt notice to TopoTarget of any of the following of which it becomes
aware: (i) any notice of, or other communication relating to, a default or event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default under any Contract; and (ii) any notice or other communication from any Third Party
alleging that the consent of such Third Party is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE XII.

representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive until the second anniversary of the Effective Date; provided that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.4, 8.7, 8.8 (last sentence), 8.13, 9.1, 9.2,
9.3, 9.5, 9.6, 9.7 (last sentence), 9.8 and 9.10 shall survive indefinitely.

 Section 12.2 Indemnification. 
 (a) From and after the Effective Date and subject to the provisions of this Article XII, CuraGen agrees to indemnify and hold harmless TopoTarget and its
Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns against and in respect of any and all losses, claims, damages (including special and consequential damages, including lost profits)
(“Losses”), resulting or arising from or otherwise relating to any Retained Liability, any breaches by CuraGen of any representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction
Document. 
 (b) From and after the Effective Date and subject to the provisions of this Article XII, TopoTarget agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless CuraGen and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns against and in respect of any and all Losses resulting or arising from or otherwise relating to any Assumed Liability or
to any breaches of TopoTarget’ representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained herein or in any Transaction Document. 
 Section 12.3 Limitations. CuraGen shall not have liability under Section 12.2(a) with respect to any breach of any of its representations and warranties under this Agreement: (i) for any individual item (or series of
related items) where the Loss relating thereto is less than $10,000 (Ten Thousand United States Dollars) and (ii) in respect of each individual item (or series of related items) where the Loss relating thereto is equal to or greater than
$10,000 (Ten Thousand United States Dollars), unless and until the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds $500,000 (Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in the aggregate, in which case CuraGen shall be liable for the entire amount of the
Losses described in this clause (ii) in excess of $500,000 (Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). CuraGen’s maximum liability for all Losses under Section 12.2 solely with respect to any breaches of representations and
warranties shall not exceed $6.5 million (Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in this Section 12.3 shall not apply to indemnification obligations with respect to
(x) breaches of the warranties set forth in Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.4, 8.8 (final sentence) and 8.11 hereof, (y) willful or knowing breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants of CuraGen or (z) any fraud or deliberate
misrepresentation of CuraGen or any gross negligence or willful misconduct of CuraGen. 
 Section 12.4 Method of Asserting
Claims. 
 (a) A Party seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 12.2 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give prompt
notice to the Party from whom such indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and
will give the Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, but failure to give such notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder only to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party has suffered actual prejudice thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days (unless a shorter period is required by the circumstances) of
receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of or 

  

 - 31 - 

 
assertion of any claim or action, suit or proceeding by a Third Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder (a “Third Party
Claim”), to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim which involves (and continues to involve) solely monetary damages; provided, that the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees in such notice that, as between the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the Third Party Claim (all of the foregoing, the “Litigation Conditions”). For the purpose of the foregoing, the
Indemnified Party shall promptly provide the Indemnifying Party with all supporting evidence of the Third Party Claim available to the Indemnified Party as well as any arguments identified by the Indemnified Party to oppose such Third Party Claim
and comply with all reasonable requests for information from the Indemnifying Party so as to allow the Indemnifying Party to make to the extent possible an informed judgment as to its potential liability under this Article XII. 
 (b) In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense in respect of any Third Party Claim (subject to the Litigation Condition), the Indemnifying
Party shall conduct the defense of each Third Party Claim diligently and in good faith using all reasonable means and defenses available to it (and the Indemnified Party shall relinquish the conduct of the defense of the Third Party Claim). The
Indemnified Party shall have the right, if it so notifies the Indemnifying Party, to be consulted in such defense of the Third Party Claim and to participate at its own expense and with counsel of its choice. In such event, the Indemnifying Party
shall afford the Indemnified Party and its counsel the opportunity to comment and the right to object (which comments shall be taken into account to the extent reasonable and such right to object shall not be unreasonably exercised) with respect to
the conduct of the defense of such Third Party Claim. 
 (c) In the event the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense in respect of
the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall conduct the defense of each Third Party Claim diligently and in good faith using all reasonable means and defenses available to it, and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the
Indemnified Party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, if it so notifies the Indemnified Party, to be consulted in such defense of the Third Party Claim and to participate at its own expense and with
counsel of its choice. In such event, the Indemnified Party shall afford the Indemnifying Party and its counsel the opportunity to comment with respect to the conduct of the defense of such Third Party Claim. 
 (d) The Party conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim shall keep the other Party fully informed of the progress of any Third Party Claim and its
defense, and shall with reasonable promptness provide such Party with copies all material notices, written communications and filings (including court papers) made by or on behalf of any of the parties to the underlying claim. 
 (e) From and after the delivery of a notice of a Third Party Claim under Section 12.4(a), at the reasonable request of the Indemnifying Party, the
Indemnified Party shall grant the Indemnifying Party and its representatives all reasonable access to the books, records and properties of the Indemnified Party to the extent reasonably related to the matters to which the Third Party Claim relates.
The Indemnifying Party will not, and shall require that its representatives do not, use (except in connection with such Third Party Claim) or disclose to any 

  

 - 32 - 

 
Third Party other than the Indemnifying Party’s representatives (except as may be required by applicable Legal Requirements and legal process) any
information obtained pursuant to this Section which is designated confidential by the Indemnified Party. All such access shall be granted during normal business hours and shall be granted under conditions which will not interfere with the business
and operations of the Indemnified Party. 
 (f) The Indemnifying Party, if it shall have assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as
provided in this Agreement, may consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party so long as such settlement or judgment does not commit the
Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action. The Indemnified Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to settle any Third Party Claim, on such terms and conditions as it deems reasonably appropriate, to the extent that such
Third Party Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief and such settlement does not involve the payment by the Indemnifying Party of monies to the Indemnified Party or a Third Party. 
 (g) Whether or not the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any claim involving a Third Party, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or
prosecution thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. 
 (h) The Indemnified Party shall take all reasonable steps to avoid or mitigate any Losses in respect of which it might be entitled to indemnification
(other than seeking recovery under insurance policies with Third Parties) which would reduce the Loss recoverable by the Indemnified Party from the Indemnifying Party under this Article XII. 
 (i) No claim of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents may be indemnified more than once in
respect of the same Loss suffered.

any other agreements delivered hereunder, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. 
 Section 13.3 Assignability; Successors
and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any Transaction Document nor any of the rights or obligations of the parties hereunder or thereunder may be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party to this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, TopoTarget, may, without such consent, assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Transaction Document (a) to any one or more of its Affiliates (provided TopoTarget remains

 - 34 - 

 
rights granted to TopoTarget hereunder. Any attempted assignment or delegation in contravention hereof shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this
Agreement and any Transaction Documents and all rights and powers granted and obligations created hereby will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. 
 Section 13.4 Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be damaged irreparably in
the event that Sections 2, 3.1, 3.4, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 12 of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to an
injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of such provisions and to enforce specifically such provisions in any action instituted in any court or tribunal having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter in addition to any other remedy to
which it might be entitled, at law or equity. 
 Section 13.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to its choice of law rules. With respect to any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement (each, a “Proceeding”), each Party hereto
irrevocably (i) agrees and consents to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, United States of America, and (ii) waives, and agrees not to assert by way of
motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Proceeding is brought in
an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding
sentence, either Party may seek injunctive or similar equitable relief as to any matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction. 
 Section 13.6 Headings. The headings preceding the text of the Articles, Sections and subsections hereof are inserted solely for convenience
of reference, and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement, nor shall they affect its meaning, construction or effect. All words used in this Agreement will be construed to be of such gender or number as the context may require. 
 Section 13.7 Amendment and Waiver. The parties may by mutual agreement amend this Agreement in any respect, and any Party, as to such Party,

agreements contained herein and performance of any obligations by such other Party and (iii) the fulfillment of any condition that is precedent to the performance by such Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement. To be effective,
any such amendment or waiver must be in writing and be signed by the Party against whom enforcement of the same is sought. 
 Section 13.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall constitute the entire understanding and agreement among the parties hereto in 

  

 - 35 - 

 
relation to the subject matter of this Agreement and shall together supersede all previous agreements among the parties in relation to the same subject
matter. It is further agreed that none of the parties has entered into this Agreement in reliance upon any warranty or undertaking of the other Party which is not expressly set out or referred to in this Agreement. 
 Section 13.9 Publicity. A copy of any public announcement or similar publicity released in connection with the announcement of this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated herein shall be provided by the disclosing Party to the non-disclosing Party, to the extent practicable, prior to the dissemination of such announcement or publicity, and the parties shall coordinate with one
another regarding the timing, form and content of such disclosure. 
 Section 13.10 Counterparts. This Agreement and any
amendments hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this
Agreement by telecopier shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 Section 13.11 No
Third Party Beneficiary Rights. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not be construed to give any Person or entity other than the parties signatory hereto any interest or rights (including any Third Party beneficiary rights) with respect
to or in connection with any agreement or provision contained herein or contemplated hereby. 
 Section 13.12 Severability. Each
of the agreements, undertakings, covenants, warranties, indemnities and other obligations of the parties entered pursuant to this Agreement are considered reasonable by the parties hereto. If any provision of this Agreement or an Transaction
Document or any part thereof is held void or unenforceable or in conflict with the Legal Requirements of any relevant jurisdiction, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement or Transaction Document, as applicable, so
as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

 Exhibit A 
 Transition Services Agreement 
 [See attached] 

 EXECUTION COPY 
 TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT 
 This Transition Services Agreement (this
“Agreement”) is entered into as of April 21, 2008 by and between TopoTarget A/S, a company duly organized and existing under the laws of Denmark and having offices at Symbion Science Park, Fruebjergvej 3, 2100 Copenhagen,
Denmark (“TopoTarget”), and CuraGen Corporation, a company duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and having offices at 322 East Main Street, Branford, Connecticut 06405, USA
(“CuraGen”). As used herein, TopoTarget and CuraGen are referred to as the “Parties.” 
 W
I T N E S S E T H : 
 WHEREAS, the Parties have entered into a Transfer
and Termination Agreement (the “Transfer and Termination Agreement”) of even date herewith, pursuant to which, among other things, TopoTarget will acquire substantially all of CuraGen’s interests in HDAC Inhibitors and in
certain other related rights and assets, all on the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer and Termination Agreement; 
 WHEREAS,
capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Transfer and Termination Agreement and the rules of construction set forth in the Transfer and Termination Agreement shall apply to this
Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Transfer and Termination Agreement, CuraGen has agreed to provide to TopoTarget
certain transition services. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties contained herein, the
parties agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Services Provided. 

  

	 	1.1	Commencing on the Effective Date, subject to the terms hereof, CuraGen shall provide to TopoTarget those services set forth on Exhibit A with respect to the HDAC Inhibitor
development program (the “Services”) and allocating resources as set forth in Section 1.2 below, until such Services are terminated in accordance with the terms hereof. 

  

	 	1.2	CuraGen shall allocate the following resources to performance of Services hereunder: (a) for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending May 31, 2008, [**] FTEs;
(b) for the period beginning on June 1, 2008 and ending June 30, 2008, [**] FTEs; and (c) for the period beginning July 1, 2008 and ending on the Termination Date, [**] of an FTE. For purposes of this Agreement, an
“FTE” shall mean the full-time equivalent of one person performing scientific, technical, project management and/or managerial work for the specified period. 

  

	 	1.3	The Services shall be consistent with CuraGen’s standard processes, shall not include any Services that would be unlawful for CuraGen to provide, and shall not include the
making of strategic business decisions for or general management of TopoTarget. 

	 	1.4	On the Effective Date, CuraGen and TopoTarget will each designate an appropriate point of contact for all questions and issues relating to the Services during the term of this
Agreement (“Transition Managers”). The Transition Managers may meet from time to time at CuraGen’s facilities to discuss issues relating to the Services. 

  

	 	1.5	TopoTarget shall assume performance of all activities with respect to the HDAC Inhibitor development program other than the Services as of the Effective Date, and shall further
assume performance of the Services on or prior to the Termination Date (as defined below). CuraGen shall have no obligation to perform any services other than the Services after the Effective Date, and shall have no obligation to perform the
Services after the Termination Date. In furtherance of the foregoing, TopoTarget shall use reasonable efforts to make or obtain any approvals, permits and licenses and implement any systems as may be necessary for it to provide the Services
independently as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Date, but in no event later than the Termination Date. 

  

	 	1.6	Without limiting Section 1.5 above, all activities related to the HDAC Inhibitor development program (including but not limited to communications, clinical, regulatory, drug
safety, chemistry, manufacturing and controls, QA, project management, pharmacokinetics, financial management, and intellectual property) being performed by CuraGen immediately prior the Effective Date will be transferred from CuraGen to TopoTarget,
after discussion and agreement by the Transition Managers, according to the following schedule: 

  

	 	1.6.1	[**]% of such program activity shall be transferred on or before five (5) business days after the Effective Date; 

  

	 	1.6.2	[**]% of such program activity shall be transferred on or before May 31, 2008; and 

  

	 	1.6.3	[**]% of such program activity shall be transferred on or before June 30, 2008. 

  

	 	1.7	TopoTarget shall provide CuraGen with such information and documentation in TopoTarget’s possession or control, and provide any other assistance, as is reasonably necessary for
CuraGen to perform the Services. 

  

	 	1.8	 CuraGen shall operate and maintain until May 21, 2008, in the same manner as operated and maintained as of the Effective Date, all software and databases used
by CuraGen as of the Effective Date (including without limitation the Oracle software) to collect, store and manage any and all data generated by or on behalf 

  

 2 

	 	 
of CuraGen with respect to HDAC Inhibitors, including without limitation all data resulting from clinical trials relating thereto. CuraGen shall provide
TopoTarget with reasonable access to such software and databases (including remote access), upon TopoTarget’s request. 

  

	 	1.9	CuraGen hereby agrees to submit to the FDA and the Canadian Bureau of Pharmaceutical Sciences, as applicable, letters attached hereto as Exhibits B1, B2 and B3 requesting
transfer and assignment of the authorizations and files referenced therein from CuraGen to TopoTarget, and TopoTarget hereby agrees to submit to the FDA and the Canadian Bureau of Pharmaceutical Sciences, as applicable, the letters attached hereto
as Exhibits C1, C2 and C3 accepting such transfers and assignments, in all cases within five (5) Business Days following the Effective Date. CuraGen and TopoTarget shall cooperate regarding the transfer and assignment from CuraGen to
TopoTarget of all investigational new drug applications and other comparable permits and authorizations with regulatory authorities outside the United States relating to the HDAC Inhibitor development program as soon as reasonably practicable. In
addition, CuraGen agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist TopoTarget in the transfer and continuation of the clinical development program related to the Product with minimal interruption to ongoing clinical trials in progress as
of the Effective Date. 

  

	 	1.10	Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all Services provided hereunder will be terminated on or before the Termination Date. CuraGen shall be under no obligation to
provide any Services to TopoTarget after the Termination Date, except to the extent agreed in writing by CuraGen and TopoTarget pursuant to Section 7 below. 

  

	 	1.11	CuraGen hereby agrees to file with the FDA, within five (5) Business Days following the Effective Date, the Request for Special Protocol Assessment letter, a form of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit D, in such form and with such changes as TopoTarget shall reasonably request. 

  

	2.	Performance Standard. 

  

	 	2.1	In performing the Services, CuraGen shall use reasonable efforts to provide, or ensure that any applicable Third Party will provide, a similar level of service and use the same
degree of care and skill as it exercises in providing similar services for itself from the Effective Date until the Termination Date. All Services shall be performed in substantial compliance with applicable law. The foregoing is subject to
Section 2.2 below. 

  

	 	2.2	 CuraGen has disclosed to TopoTarget and TopoTarget hereby acknowledges that CuraGen has outsourcing relationships with Third Parties (“Service
Providers”) who may, subject to Section 17 and in accordance with Section 1.1 hereof, in furtherance of CuraGen’s obligations under this Agreement, be delivering Services to TopoTarget. To the extent required under any such
Service Provider 

  

 3 

	 	 
agreements governing such Services, or otherwise as requested by CuraGen in its reasonable discretion and subject to Section 17 hereof, TopoTarget
agrees to cooperate with CuraGen and will assist CuraGen in obtaining Third Party consents, licenses, sublicenses, or approvals necessary to permit CuraGen or the applicable Service Provider to perform or otherwise make the Services available to
TopoTarget. Without limitation to the foregoing, CuraGen shall make available to TopoTarget as part of the Services those services CuraGen receives pursuant to the Clinical Trial Agreement by and between CuraGen and the Division of Cancer Treatment
and Diagnosis of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) dated as of August 1, 2004 (“NCI Agreement”). During the term hereof the Parties shall cooperate to obtain for TopoTarget an arrangement whereby TopoTarget may continue to
receive the benefits of the NCI Agreement after the Termination Date, either via assignment of the NCI Agreement to TopoTarget or otherwise. 

  

	 	2.3	EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO ANY SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER. 

  

	3.	Fees. 

  

	 	3.1	TopoTarget shall pay to CuraGen as consideration for the Services an amount equal to (a) the FTE Rate multiplied by (b) the number of FTEs (or fraction thereof) allocated
to the performance of Services in accordance with Section 2.2 for the applicable period multiplied by (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the applicable period and the denominator of which is 365. For purposes
of this Agreement, the FTE Rate shall mean [**] Dollars ($[**]). 

  

	 	3.2	CuraGen shall invoice TopoTarget for the Services provided hereunder in arrears on a monthly basis. TopoTarget shall pay any invoice for Services promptly but in no event later than
thirty (30) days after the date of invoice. Late payments due hereunder shall bear interest at the prime rate then in effect, plus five percent (5%) per annum or the maximum amount allowed by law, whichever is less.

  

	4.	Confidentiality. The Parties agree that information disclosed in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by the terms and conditions of Section 10.6 of the
Transfer and Termination Agreement. 

  

	5.	 Ownership. This Agreement and the performance of the Services hereunder will not affect the ownership of any of the Transferred Assets or Excluded Assets
allocated in the Transfer and Termination Agreement. All Inventions and Know-How that are conceived and/or reduced to practice by or on behalf of CuraGen or its Affiliates, whether alone or with others, that (i) result from its performance of
the Services, including the conduct of the HDAC Inhibitor program, or (ii) relate to the Transferred Assets disclosed to or 

  

 4 

	 	 
accessed by CuraGen in connection with this Agreement, whether during or after the Term, and all Patents and other intellectual property rights relating
thereto (collectively, the “TopoTarget Property”), shall be disclosed promptly to TopoTarget and shall be considered a “work made for hire” (as that term is defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C.
§ 101) with TopoTarget being the person for whom the work was prepared and the TopoTarget Property shall be the sole and exclusive property of TopoTarget. In the event that any TopoTarget Property is deemed not to be a “work made for
hire”, CuraGen agrees to assign, and hereby does assign, unconditionally and irrevocably to TopoTarget, all of CuraGen’s right, title and interest in and to the TopoTarget Property. No compensation or other payments in addition to the
charges for the Services payable pursuant to Section 3 shall be payable in respect of the ownership by, or assignment to, TopoTarget of TopoTarget Property. CuraGen has entered into a binding agreement with each of its employees and agents
assigning to CuraGen any and all rights of such employees and agents in any intellectual property conceived of or reduced to practice by such employees and agents. Without limiting the foregoing, neither party will gain, by virtue of this Agreement
or the Services hereunder, by implication or otherwise, any rights of ownership of any property or intellectual property rights owned by the other. 

  

	6.	Limitation of Liabilities. 

  

	 	6.1	Disclaimer. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR CURAGEN’S SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES
EXCEPT FOR THOSE CAUSED BY GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILFUL MISCONDUCT OR ANY BREACH OF SECTION 4. 

  

	 	6.2	Limitation. IN NO EVENT SHALL CURAGEN’S OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS’ LIABILITY FOR ANY ACTION, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN TORT OR CONTRACT, ARISING
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT (75%) OF THE AMOUNT INVOICED TO TOPOTARGET BY CURAGEN FOR SERVICES HEREUNDER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CIRCUMSTANCE THAT GAVE RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY EXCEPT
FOR LIABILITIES CAUSED BY GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILFUL MISCONDUCT OR ANY BREACH OF SECTION 4. 

  

	7.	Term, Extension and Termination. 

  

	 	7.1	Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, shall continue in effect until
December 31, 2008 (the “Term”). The date of expiration of the Term, or of termination in accordance with Section 7.2 below, shall be the “Termination Date.” 

  

 5 

	 	7.2	Termination. This Agreement may be terminated earlier in accordance with any of the following provisions: 

  

	 	7.2.1	By mutual written consent of both CuraGen and TopoTarget; 

  

	 	7.2.2	By TopoTarget on thirty (30) days written notice to CuraGen; 

  

	 	7.2.3	By either party entitled to the benefit of the performance of any of the obligations under this Agreement (the “Non-Defaulting Party”), if the other party (the
“Defaulting Party”) shall fail to perform or default in such performance. The Non-Defaulting Party must give written notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the nature of such failure or default and stating that the Non-Defaulting
Party intends to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Defaulting Party if such failure or default is not cured within thirty (30) days after such written notice. If any failure or default so specified is not cured within such thirty
(30) day period, the Non-Defaulting Party may elect to immediately terminate this Agreement with respect to the Defaulting Party; provided, however, that if the failure or default relates to a dispute contested in good
faith by the Defaulting Party, the Non-Defaulting Party may not terminate this Agreement pending the resolution of such dispute. Such termination shall be effective upon provision of written notice of termination from the Non-Defaulting Party to the
Defaulting Party and shall be without prejudice to any other remedy which may be available to the Non-Defaulting Party against the Defaulting Party. 

  

	 	7.3	Effect of Termination. TopoTarget specifically agrees and acknowledges that all obligations of CuraGen to provide Services hereunder shall immediately cease on the
Termination Date, or such earlier date of termination pursuant to Section 7.2, and CuraGen’s obligations to provide all of the Services shall immediately cease upon the termination of this Agreement. 

  

	 	7.4	Survival. Notwithstanding the expiration or early termination of this Agreement or any Services hereunder, Sections 1.8, 2.3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16,
17, 18, 19 and 20 will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason. The expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason will not release either party from any liabilities or obligations set forth herein which
(a) the parties have expressly agreed will survive any such expiration or termination or (b) remain to be performed or by their nature would be intended to be applicable following any such expiration or termination.

  

	8.	 Independent Contractors. The parties hereto understand and agree that this Agreement does not make either of them an agent or legal representative of the
other for any purpose whatsoever. Neither party is granted, by this Agreement or otherwise, any right or authority to assume or create any obligation or responsibilities, express or implied, on behalf of or in the name of the other party, or to bind
the other party in any manner 

  

 6 

	 	 
whatsoever. The parties expressly acknowledge that (a) CuraGen is an independent contractor with respect to TopoTarget in all respects, including the
provision of the Services, and (b) that the parties are not partners, joint venturers, employees or agents of or with each other. 

  

	9.	Beneficiary of Services; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, and nothing expressed or implied shall give or be
construed to give any person any legal or equitable rights hereunder, whether as a Third Party beneficiary or otherwise. CuraGen and TopoTarget agree, and TopoTarget represents and warrants, that the Services will be provided solely to, and will be
used solely by, TopoTarget, in each case only in connection with the Contributed Assets and the Assumed Liabilities. TopoTarget shall not resell or provide the Services to any other Person, or permit the use of the Services by any Person other than
TopoTarget. 

  

	10.	Force Majeure. Neither party will be held liable to the other for any delay or failure of performance where such delay or failure results from events beyond that party’s
control, including acts of God, earthquakes, fires, floods, civil disturbance, strikes, labor disputes, and lawful governmental action. 

  

	11.	Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Transfer and Termination Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and
supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. 

  

	12.	Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, and any provision of this Agreement may be waived, if but only if such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the
case of an amendment, by CuraGen and TopoTarget, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a
waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 

  

	13.	Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) by personal delivery,
(ii) upon transmission by facsimile machine if a confirmation sheet is emitted from such machine or (iii) upon delivery by an internationally recognized overnight courier service, each to the other Party at the following address (or at
such other address as shall be given in writing by any Party to the other in accordance with this Section 13):

	14.	Non Assignability. Neither party may, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, either by operation of law or otherwise, assign or transfer this Agreement without the
other party’s prior written consent. Any attempted assignment, transfer or delegation without such prior written consent will be void. 

  

	15.	Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be
deemed to be one and the same instrument. Copies of executed counterparts transmitted by telecopy, telefax or other electronic transmission service shall be considered original executed counterparts for purposes hereof, provided that receipt of
copies of such counterparts is confirmed. This Agreement shall become effective when each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto. 

  

	16.	Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, all other provisions of this
Agreement shall not be affected and shall remain in full force and effect, and CuraGen and TopoTarget shall negotiate in good faith to replace such illegal, void or unenforceable provision with a provision that corresponds as closely as possible to
the intentions of the parties as expressed by such illegal, void, or unenforceable provision. 

  

	17.	Subcontractors and Outsourcing. Except with respect to Third Parties that are counterparties to any Contracts included in the Transferred Assets, CuraGen shall not have the
right to subcontract or outsource any of its obligations hereunder without the express written consent of TopoTarget. 

  

 8 

	18.	Other Agreements. This Agreement is not intended to amend or modify, and should not be interpreted to amend or modify in any respect the rights and obligations of CuraGen and
TopoTarget under the Transfer and Termination Agreement. 

  

	19.	Taxes. The fees described in Section 3 are exclusive of value added taxes, sales taxes and any other similar taxes. TopoTarget will be responsible for all taxes (other
than taxes based on net income or net profits) imposed by applicable taxing authorities on the provision of Services to TopoTarget hereunder. If CuraGen is required to pay such taxes, TopoTarget shall promptly reimburse CuraGen therefor.

  

	20.	Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to its choice of law rules. With
