set forth in Section 2.6 below (the “Closing”).

“Option”) pursuant to which the Purchaser shall pay a fee in cash to the Company of $3,000,000 (the “Option
Fee”) upon the execution and delivery of such agreement.

     4

     

    

2.3             
Investment. (a) Subject to Section 2.3(d), in the sole discretion of the Company, the Purchaser shall purchase up
to $5,000,000 of the Company’s securities (the “Investment”) on the same terms and conditions as the other
investors in the Qualified Financing. At least ten (10) days prior to the closing of the Qualified Financing, the Company or the
underwriter or placement agent shall provide the Purchaser with notice of the terms of the Qualified Financing.

 

(b)              
Subject to Section 2.3(d) below, if the Qualified Financing referred to in Section 2.3(a) has not occurred before the Successful
Completion of the Futility Analysis (as described in Section 2.4(B) of the Option and Collaboration Agreement), the Investment
would be made, in the sole discretion of the Company, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.7
below, in the form of an additional convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Subsequent
Note”) whereby the Purchaser would purchase the Subsequent Note upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the
Note, which terms shall, except as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, be identical to the Note, except that the maturity
date of the Subsequent Note shall be the third anniversary of the issuance date of the Subsequent Note. The parties shall engage
in discussions regarding the mechanics and precise timing of the closing of the Subsequent Note (the “Subsequent Note

invest pursuant to Section 2.3(a) would be the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 and (ii) such amount as would result in
Purchaser’s ownership being at or below the Threshold; provided, that an Investment in a Qualified Financing that is an

Securities, or (ii) could, if there were an unfavorable decision, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. Neither the Company nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, any of its directors or officers, is or has been the subject

of Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act) or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty.

 

(k)              
Compliance. The Company is not and since inception has not been: (i) in default under or in violation of (and no
event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company),
nor has the Company received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or
credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (whether

including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws relating to taxes, environmental protection, occupational
health and safety, product quality and safety and employment and labor matters, except in each case as would not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not result in any such violation or be
in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either (x) a default under any such indenture,
material loan, judgment, order, decree, contract or material agreement, or (y) an event which results in the creation of any material
lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material

local or foreign law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with,
any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents,
or issue and sell the Note, or the Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof (other than

(x)   
any consent, authorization or order that has been obtained as of the date hereof, (y) any filing or registration that has
been made as of the date hereof or (z) any filings which may be required to be made by the Company with the Commission or state

(l)                
Regulatory Permits. The Company possesses all certificates, authorizations, franchises, licenses and permits issued
by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct its businesses, except where the
failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”),
and the Company has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.

 

(m)            
Title to Assets. The Company does not own any real property. The Company has good and marketable title in all personal
property owned by it that is material to the business of the Company, free and clear of all Liens. Any real property and facilities
held under lease by the Company is held by it under a valid and subsisting lease, enforceable against the Company with which the
Company is in all material respects in compliance, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,

 

     12

has not received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual Property Rights has expired, terminated or been
abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement. The Company
has not received any written notice of a claim or otherwise has any Knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or
infringe upon the rights of any Person, has not received any written notice of any claim that any Intellectual Property Right owned
or controlled by a third party would be or is infringed or misappropriated by the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation
of the Product (as defined in the Option and Collaboration Agreement) and, to the Company’s Knowledge, the manufacture, use,
sale, offer for sale or importation of the Product would not and does not infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property
Right owned or controlled by a third party. The Company has taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality
and value of all of its Intellectual Property Rights, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(o)              
Insurance. The Company is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks
and in such amounts as are customary in the businesses in which the Company is engaged, including, but not limited to, directors
and officers insurance coverage. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance
coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue
its business without a significant increase in cost.

 

(p)

of $120,000 other than for: (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered; (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred
on behalf of the Company; and (iii) other employee benefits, including option agreements under any option plan of the Company.

 

     13

     

    

(q)              
Certain Fees. Other than as set forth on Schedule 3.1(q), no brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions
are or will be payable by the Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker,
bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Purchaser shall have no obligation
with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in
this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

 

(r)                
Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in Section
3.2, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchaser
as contemplated hereby. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on their behalf, has engaged in any
form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of
the Securities.

 

(s)               
Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for
the Securities, will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company

subject to registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(t)                
No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in
Section 3.2, neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly,
made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this
offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior or future offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which
would require the registration of any such securities under the Securities Act.

 

(u)              
Tax Status. The Company: (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and local income and all foreign
income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, except for the
failure to make or file such tax returns, reports or declarations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that
are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations; and (iii) has set aside on its
books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all material taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns,
reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any
jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such claim.

 

(v)              
Acknowledgment Regarding Purchaser’s Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser
is acting solely in the capacity of

 

     14

     

    

an arm’s
length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Company further acknowledges
that the Purchaser is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to
the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by the Purchaser or any of its respective
representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental
to the Purchaser’s purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to the Purchaser that the Company’s decision
to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions
contemplated hereby by the Company and each of its representatives.

 

(w)            
Equity Incentive Plans. Each equity award granted by the Company under the Company’s equity incentive plan
was granted: (i) in accordance with the terms of such plan, and (ii) with an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value
of the shares of Common Stock on the date such option would be considered granted under GAAP and applicable law. All federal and
state filings with respect to such plans have been timely made, except where the failure to make any such filing timely would not
have a Material Adverse Effect. No option granted under the Company’s equity incentive plan has been backdated. The Company
has not knowingly granted, and there is no and has been no Company policy or practice to knowingly grant equity awards prior to,
or otherwise knowingly coordinate the grant of such awards with, the release or other public announcement of material information
regarding the Company or their financial results or prospects.

 

(x)              
Material Agreements. Set forth on Exhibit 3.1(x) is a list of any and all material contracts, instruments,
agreements, commitments, obligations, plans or arrangements, to which the Company and any Subsidiary is a party. Each of the Company
and any Subsidiary has in all respects performed all the obligations required to be performed by them to date under the foregoing
agreements, have received no notice of default and are not in default under any such agreement now in effect, except where the
failure to so perform or the default would not cause a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(y)              
FDA Compliance. The Company: (i) is in material compliance with all statutes, rules or regulations applicable to
the ownership, testing, development, manufacture, packaging, processing, use, distribution, marketing, labeling, promotion, sale,
offer for sale, storage, import, export or disposal of any product that is under development, manufactured or distributed by the
Company; (ii) has not received any FDA Form 483, notice of adverse finding, warning letter, untitled letter or other correspondence
or notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) or any other federal, state, local or foreign
governmental or regulatory authority alleging or asserting noncompliance with any applicable laws or any licenses, certificates,
approvals, clearances, authorizations, permits and supplements or amendments thereto required by any such applicable laws (“Authorizations”);
and (iii) possesses all material Authorizations necessary for the operation of its business as currently conducted and such Authorizations
are valid and in full force and effect and the Company is not in violation of any term of any such Authorizations. Neither the
Company nor, to the Company’s Knowledge any of its Representatives have made, nor to the Company’s Knowledge has

 

     15

     

    

any third
party acting under the Company’s authority made, an untrue statement of a material fact to any regulatory authority with
respect to the Product, or knowingly failed to disclose a material fact required to be disclosed to any regulatory authority with
respect to the Product. The Company, and to the Company’s Knowledge, its Representatives and all such third parties have
complied with all regulatory requirements with respect to the Product and active pharmaceutical ingredients contained therein.
All information within the regulatory filings related to the Product have been generated in material compliance with all applicable
laws, including, as applicable, cGMP, cGCP and cGLP, and all such regulatory filings are true and correct in all material respects.

 

(z)               
Disclosure. The Company has made available to the Purchaser all of the information reasonably available to the Company
that the Purchaser has requested for deciding whether to acquire the Securities, and all such materials were prepared in good faith.
No representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedule, and no certificate
furnished or to be furnished to the Purchaser at the Closing contains any untrue statement of a material fact or, to the Company’s
Knowledge, omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading
in light of the circumstances under which they were made. It is understood that this representation is qualified by the fact that
the Company has not delivered to the Purchaser, and has not been requested to deliver, a private placement or similar memorandum
or any written disclosure of the types of information customarily furnished to purchasers of securities.

 

3.2             
Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof
and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein):

 

(a)               
Organization; Authority. The Purchaser is an entity duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its formation with full right, corporate or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate
the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.
The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on
the part of the Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by the Purchaser, and when delivered
by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser,
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally;
(ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies; and
(iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

 

(b)              
Own Account. The Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been
registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its
own

     16

     

    

account
and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act
or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities
Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to
distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities
law (this representation and warranty not limiting the Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities or any security into which
they are converted or exchanged in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). The Purchaser is acquiring the
Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

 

(c)               
Purchaser Status. At the time the Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is,
an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act.

 

(d)              
Experience of the Purchaser. The Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge,
sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective
investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic
risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

(e)               
General Solicitation. The Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice
or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television
or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

 

(f)               
Confidentiality. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement and to the Purchaser’s employees, officers,
directors, attorneys and advisors, the Purchaser has maintained and will maintain the confidentiality of all disclosures made to
it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).

 

(g)              
Full Access. The Purchaser has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive information and answers
from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the Securities and has had an opportunity to conduct a due
diligence investigation of the Company. The Purchaser has reviewed the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 filed
with the Commission on December 23, 2015 and understands and acknowledges that there can be no assurance that such registration
statement will be declared effective by the Commission or that the IPO for which the shares are being registered will be consummated.

 

The Company
acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect the Purchaser’s
right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties
contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this
Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

 

4.1             
Transfer Restrictions.

 

(a)               
The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws.

 

(b)              
The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities
in the following form:

 

THIS
SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE CONVERSION HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER STATE OR JURISDICTION. THEY MAY NOT BE PURCHASED WITH A
VIEW FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RESALE, AND MAY ONLY BE OFFERED, SOLD, MORTGAGED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN COMPLIANCE
WITH EITHER AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SECURITY UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES ACT,
OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SECURITIES ACT OR THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE, INCLUDING A LOCK-UP PERIOD IN THE EVENT OF A PUBLIC
OFFERING, AS SET FORTH IN THE SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE PURCHASER, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED
AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.

 

4.2             
Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect
of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities
in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities.

 

4.3             
Disclosure; Publicity. (a) The Company and the Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press
releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall issue any such press
release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release
of the Purchaser, or without the prior consent of the Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, and each such
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by securities laws or rules, including
those promulgated by the Commission, or any rules or requirements of stock exchanges on which equity securities of each of the
Company and the Purchaser may be listed, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice
of such public statement, disclosure or

 

     18

     

    

communication.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser understands that the U.S. federal securities laws generally require any company that
is publicly held or that is registering its securities for public sale to disclose a broad range of financial and non-financial
information in registration statements, annual reports and other filings made with the Commission. As a result, copies of this
Agreement and the Note and descriptions thereof may be made public in the sole discretion of the Company or the Purchaser in order
to comply with such securities laws and the rules and regulations of the Commission.

 

(b)              
Disclosure by the Company and the Purchaser of the Option and Collaboration Agreement and its terms, and material developments
or material information generated under the Option and Collaboration Agreement shall be governed by Section 5 of the Option and
Collaboration Agreement.

Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds hereunder primarily to fund the completion of the Company’s
Phase 3 clinical trial as currently contemplated with its product candidate CPP-1X/sul for the treatment of familial adenomatous
polyposis (the “Phase 3 Trial”); provided that (a) this Section 4.4 shall not apply to any Investment
in a Qualified Financing that is an IPO, and (b) the Company may use the net proceeds hereunder in its sole discretion in the event
that either the Option and Collaboration Agreement or License Agreement is terminated or the Company’s Phase 3 Trial is terminated.

 

4.5             
Indemnification of Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.5 and in consideration of the Purchaser’s
execution of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities, the Company will indemnify and hold the Purchaser and its
directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally
equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls
such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors,
officers, shareholders, agents, members, managers, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent
role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each,
a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages,
costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of: (a) any misrepresentation or breach of
any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction
Documents; or (b) any action instituted against any Purchaser Party in any capacity, or its Affiliates, by any stockholder of the
Company who is neither an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party nor another Purchaser Party, with respect to (x) any of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents; or (y) any transaction directly or indirectly financed with the proceeds of the issuance
of the Securities (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants
under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or
any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes
fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect
of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing,
and the

 

     19

     

    

Company
shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party.
Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment
thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing; (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time
to assume such defense and to employ counsel; or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material
conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the
Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not
be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by the Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s
prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a
loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification
required by this Section 4.5 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or
defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any
cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject
to pursuant to law.

 

4.6             
Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under
Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of the Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company
shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchaser
at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide
evidence of such actions promptly upon request of the Purchaser.

 

Restrictions
on Sale. The Purchaser hereby agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the
purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, of any Securities or
other securities of the Company held by the Purchaser during the 180-day period following the effective date of the
registration statement for the Company’s IPO (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter
solely to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports; and (ii)
analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or
NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto)(the “Lock-Up Period”), provided, that
all officers and directors of the Company and holders of at least 5% of the Company’s voting securities are bound by
and have entered into similar agreements. The obligations described in this Section 4.7 shall not apply to a
registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-l or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in
the future, or a registration relating solely to a transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the
future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions and may stamp each certificate with a legend as substantially set
forth in Section 4.1 with respect to the shares of the Securities (or other securities of the Company) subject to the
foregoing restriction until the end of such 180-day (or other) period. The Purchaser agrees to execute a market stand-off

 

     20

     

    

agreement
with the underwriters in the offering in customary form consistent with the provisions of this Section 4.7. Any discretionary
waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the Company or the underwriters shall apply pro rata
to all holders subject to such agreements, pro rata based on the number of shares subject to such agreements.

 

4.7             
Option and Investment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Purchaser does not consummate
the Investment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section
2.7(b) above), then (a) such failure to purchase shall be a material breach of this Agreement, and (b) the Option described in
Section 2.2 and the Option and Collaboration Agreement shall be null and void and not exercisable by the Purchaser.

 

ARTICLE
V. MISCELLANEOUS

 

5.1             
Board Observer Rights. (a) Beginning on the date hereof until the date of exercise of the option in accordance with
the terms of the Option and Collaboration Agreement or the expiration of the option period as set forth therein (the “Observer
Period”), the Company agrees that it will invite one representative designated by the Purchaser (the “Observer”)
to attend, in a non-voting observer capacity, all formal meetings of the Board of Directors in which a quorum is present for the
purposes of permitting Observer to have current information with respect to the affairs of the Company and the actions taken by
the Board of Directors (the “Approved Purposes”); provided that such Observer designated by the Purchaser is
subject to the Company’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). In no event shall Observer: (i) be
deemed to be a member of the Board of Directors; (ii) have the right to vote on any matter under consideration by the Board of
Directors or otherwise have any power to cause the Company to take, or not to take, any action; or (iii) except as expressly set
forth in this Section 5.1, have or be deemed to have, or otherwise be subject to, any duties (fiduciary or otherwise) to the Company
or its stockholders or any duties (fiduciary or otherwise) otherwise applicable to the directors of the Company. As a non-voting
observer, Observer will also be provided (concurrently with delivery to the directors of the Company and in the same manner delivery
is made to them) copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and all other materials or information (financial or otherwise) that
are provided to the directors with respect to a meeting or any written consent in lieu of meeting (except to the extent Observer
has been excluded therefrom pursuant to clause (d) below).

 

(c)               
If a meeting of the Board of Directors is conducted via telephone or other electronic medium (e.g., videoconference), Observer
may attend such meeting via the same medium; provided, however, that Observer shall not provide any other person access to such
meeting without the Company’s express prior written consent (which consent may be by e-mail).

 

(d)              
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may exclude Observer from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof
if: (i) the Board of Directors concludes in good faith, upon advice of the Company’s counsel, that such exclusion is reasonably
necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege between the Company and such counselor or if the Company in good faith believes
that the Observer has a potential conflict of interest; provided,

 

     21

     

    

however,
that any such exclusion shall apply only to such portion of the material or such portion of the meeting which would be required
to preserve such privilege and not to any other portion thereof; or (ii) such portion of a meeting is an executive session limited
solely to independent director members of the Board of Directors, independent auditors and/or legal counsel, as the Board of Directors
may designate, and Observer (assuming Observer were a member of the Board of Directors) would not meet the then-applicable standards
for independence adopted by the New York Stock Exchange, or such other exchange on which the Company’s securities are then
traded.

 

(e)               
The Observer shall not receive compensation from the Company for the performance of as an Observer; however, the Company
shall reimburse Observer for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Observer in connection with attendance at Board
of Directors meetings. All reimbursements payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 5.1(d) shall be paid to Observer in accordance
with the Company’s policies and practices with respect to director expense reimbursement then in effect

 

(f)               
The rights described in this Section 5.1 shall terminate upon: (i) the end of the Observer Period; (ii) any material violation
of the terms of this Section 5.1 by Observer that

(A) remains
uncured within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice thereof, or (B) if such violation is not subject to cure, directly
causes material harm to the Company in the Board of Directors’ sole and absolute discretion.

 

(g)              
In consideration of the Company’s disclosure to Observer of information that is not publicly available concerning
the Company for the Approved Purposes, Purchaser agrees that this Section 5.1 will apply to all information, in any form whatsoever,
disclosed or made available to Observer concerning the Company, its affiliates and/or the Approved Purposes (“Confidential
Information”).

 

(h)              
Except as otherwise provided herein, Purchaser agrees: (i) to hold Confidential Information in strict confidence; (ii) not
to disclose Confidential Information to any third parties; and (iii) not to use any Confidential Information for any purpose except
for the Approved Purposes. Observer may disclose the Confidential Information to its responsible agents, advisors, affiliates and
representatives with a bona fide need to know (“Representatives”), but only to the extent necessary for
the Approved Purposes. Purchaser agrees that Observer shall instruct all such Representatives not to disclose such Confidential
Information to third parties without the prior written permission of the Company. Purchaser will, at all times, remain liable under
the terms of this Agreement for any unauthorized disclosure or use by Observer or any Representatives of Confidential Information
provided to such Representatives by Observer.

 

(i)                
The foregoing restriction on the use and nondisclosure of Confidential Information will not include information which, as
evidenced by written documentation: (i) is, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of Observer, generally
known or available to the public; (ii) was acquired by Observer before receiving such information from the Company, without restriction
as to use or disclosure; (iii) is hereafter furnished to Observer by a third party, without, to Observer’s knowledge, restriction
as to use or disclosure; (iv) such information was independently developed by Observer; or (v) is required or requested to be

     22

     

    

disclosed
pursuant to judicial, regulatory or administrative process or court order, provided, that to the extent permitted by law, rule
or regulation and reasonably practicable under the circumstances, Observer gives the Company prompt notice of such required disclosure
so that the Company may challenge the same

 

(j)                
Following the termination of the rights of Observer described in this Section 5.1 and upon request of the Company, Observer
will promptly: (i) return to the Company all physical materials containing or consisting of Confidential Information and all hard
copies thereof; and (ii) destroy all electronically stored Confidential Information in Observer’s possession or control.
Observer may retain in his confidential files one copy of any item of Confidential Information in order to comply with any legal,
compliance or regulatory requirements. Any Confidential Information that is not returned or destroyed, including, without limitation,
any oral Confidential Information, and all notes, analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by or for the benefit
of Observer from such information, will remain subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement indefinitely.

 

(k)              
All Confidential Information is provided to Observer “as is” and the Company does not make any representation
or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any component thereof. The Company will have
no liability to Observer resulting from the reliance on the Confidential Information by Observer or any third party to whom such
Confidential Information is disclosed.

 

(l)                
Purchaser acknowledges that all of the Confidential Information is owned solely by the Company (or its licensors) and that
the unauthorized disclosure or use of such Confidential Information would cause irreparable harm and significant injury, the degree
of which may be difficult to ascertain. Therefore, in the event of any breach of this Agreement, the Company is entitled to seek
all forms of equitable relief (including an injunction and order for specific performance), in addition to all other remedies available
at law or in equity.

 

(m)              
Purchaser agrees that the Confidential Information is given in confidence in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
and Purchaser and Observer will not take any action relating to the securities of the Company which would constitute insider trading,
market manipulation, or any other violation of applicable securities law. Observer agrees to instruct all of its Representatives
to whom it discloses Confidential Information that they may not take any action relating to the securities of the Company which
would constitute insider trading, market manipulation, or any other violation of applicable securities law.

 

(n)              
Prior to the designation of any Observer, Purchaser agrees to cause Observer to execute and deliver to the Company a written
acknowledgement of such Observer’s obligations under this Section 5.1.

 

5.2             
Fees and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay
the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such
party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all
Transfer Agent fees (including, without limitation any fees required for same day processing of any instruction letter delivered
by the Company and any conversion or exercise

     23

     

    

notice delivered by the Purchaser),
stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchaser.

 

5.3             
Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire
understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings,
oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and
schedules.

 

5.4             
Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or
communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number set forth on the signature pages attached hereto at or prior to

5.5             
Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a
written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the party
against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition
or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default
or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any
right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

 

5.6             
Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not
be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

5.7             
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors
and permitted assigns. The Company and Purchaser may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Purchaser (other than by merger).

 

5.8             
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

 

5.9             
Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction
Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without
regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the

     24

     

    

interpretations,
enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought
against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents)
shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in New York, New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in New York, New York for the adjudication of any dispute
hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to
the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action
or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding
is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail
or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement
and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence
an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the
Company under Section 4.5, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its
reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such
action or proceeding.

 

5.10         
Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closings and the delivery of the
Securities.

 

5.11         
Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be
considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered
to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is
delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create
a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect
as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

5.12         
Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein
shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use
their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result
as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention
of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any
of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

5.13         
Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen
or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in
the case of mutilation), or in lieu

     25

     

    

of and substitution
therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss,
theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable
third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

 

5.14         
Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery
of damages, the Purchaser will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary
damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction
Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense
that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

5.15         
Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction
Document or the Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement
or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or refunded, repaid or otherwise restored
to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state
or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made
or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

5.16         
Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plea or in any manner
whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all effort to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury law wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by the Purchaser
in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction
Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the
“Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default
interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay
under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by
law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent
to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction
Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances
whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to the Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced
by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by the Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness
or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at the Purchaser’s election.

     26

     

    

5.17         
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of
any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised
on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

5.18         
Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity
to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be
resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments
thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be
subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions
of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.

 

5.19         
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST
ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY,
UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

(as such term is defined in the Investors’ Rights Agreement) on an as converted basis. The Company has obtained waivers from
a majority of the Series A Holders, which makes these rights of first refusal inapplicable to the Securities offered by this Agreement.

Transactions with Affiliates and
Employees

 

The following
includes a summary of transactions since January 1, 2013 to which the Company has been a party, in which the amount involved in
the transaction exceeded $120,000, and in which any of the Company’s directors, executive officers or, to the Company’s

Master Services Agreement

 

Effective
June 10, 2015, the Company entered into a master services agreement with Clear Pharma, Inc., a company owned by a director, Daniel
Donovan, for the provision of data analysis services. The Company owns all of the work product and intellectual property rights
associated therewith. The master services agreement may be terminated: (i) by us upon 30 days’ notice; (ii) by either party
after a 30-day notice and cure period upon a material breach of the terms of the agreement; and (iii) immediately by either party
in the case of bankruptcy or insolvency of the other party. It is anticipated that total services will cost $121,500 plus $65,000
to $105,000 in pass-through fees. As of November 2, 2015, we have paid Clear Pharma, Inc. $7,975 for services rendered. On August
7, 2015, in connection with consulting services we granted Mr. Donovan an option exercisable for 100,000 shares of common stock
at an exercise price of $0.80 vesting pro rata over a 36-month period.

 

Financings

 

From
November 19, 2012 through October 3, 2013, we issued and sold to investors an aggregate of 5,252,500 shares of our Series A-2 Preferred
Stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share, for aggregate consideration of $5,252,500. The participants in the Series A-2 Preferred
Stock financing included the following holders of more than 5% of our capital stock: Translational Accelerator, LLC, who acquired
1,000,000 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock. The participants in the Series A-2 Preferred Stock financing also included the
following officers and/or directors: Jeffrey Jacob, Christopher Richied, and Westport Boys, LLC, an entity of which our director
Daniel Donovan is a member and the manager, who acquired 100,000, 25,000, and 425,000 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock, respectively.

 

In connection
with financings in 2009, 2010 and 2012, we entered into agreements, which were subsequently amended, with our investors, which
contain registration rights, information rights, voting rights and rights of first refusal, among other things. The agreements
will terminate upon the closing of an IPO, except for the registration rights granted under certain investor rights agreements.

 

It is anticipated
that certain of the Company’s officers and directors (directly and/or through affiliates) will participate in the Bridge
Financing.

Employment Agreements; Stock Options
Granted to Executive Officers

 

We currently have written employment
agreements with our executive officers.

 

On July
30, 2012, we entered into an employment agreement with Eugene Gerner, Ph.D. to act as our Chief Scientific Officer, which was amended
on January 13, 2014. The agreement, as amended, provides that Dr. Gerner receive an annual base salary of $120,000 for his half-time
employment.

 

We have granted stock options
to our executive officers.

 

Indemnification Agreements

 

We have
entered into, and intend to continue to enter into, separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers,
in addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended and restated bylaws. These agreements, among other things, require
us to indemnify our directors and executive officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and
settlement amounts incurred by a director or executive officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one
of our directors or executive officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request.
We believe that these bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as
directors and officers.

 

The
limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and
restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They
may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might
benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and
damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND
RELEASES

 

 

This

WHEREAS,

		b.	Payment for any accrued and unused PTO through February 29, 2016;

 

		c.	A lump sum payment of Two Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Four Hundred and

having occurred;

 

		e.	In the event Executive elects COBRA, the COBRA continuation premium payments

		i.	8,334 options with $6.75 exercise price and grant date of September 11, 2014;

 

		ii.	2,299 options with exercise price of $14.82 and grant date of March 4, 2015; and

SPI under this Separation Agreement. Executive also agrees that if he violates this Separation Agreement by suing any of the Released

    6

     

    

Parties, in the event that
the Released Party is the prevailing party, Executive will pay all costs and expenses of defending against the suit incurred by
the Released Party, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and return all payments received by Executive on or after the Separation

    8 

     

    

7.
Mutual
Non-Disparagement.Executive and SPI agree that, at all times following the signing of this Separation
Agreement, they shall not engage in any defamation or willful and malicious disparagement of the other. Executive

officers. Nothing in this Separation Agreement prevents SPI from responding to subpoenas, government inquiries or other
obligations they may have under the law or from reporting criminal activities to appropriate authorities.

 

8. Employment Agreement
Provisions Incorporated Into Separation Agreement. Executive and SPI will be bound by and comply with all provisions
of Article 5 of the Employment Agreement, for the durations expressly stated in Article 5, all of which are incorporated by

supersedes all other agreements, oral or written, heretofore made with respect thereto including, without limitation, the
Employment Agreement. In addition, no provision of this Separation Agreement may be amended, modified, changed, altered,
or supplemented except by a writing that is signed by Executive and by SPI.

employee of SPI, Executive shall be entitled to the same indemnification rights and directors and officers liability coverage

shareholders, employees, or other agents or representatives with respect to their common defense.

 

10. Severability.Any
provisions of this Separation Agreement that may be prohibited by, or unlawful or unenforceable under, any applicable law of any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective without affecting any other provision hereof. To the full extent,
however, that the provisions of such applicable law may be waived, they are hereby waived, to the end that this Separation Agreement

the courts to enforce its rights under the Employment Covenants set forth in Article 5 of the Employment Agreement as
incorporated into this Separation Agreement.
