THIS SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of November 1, 2011, by and among ARATANA THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the investors set forth on the Schedule of Investors attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company has authorized the sale and issuance of an aggregate of up to 5,166,667 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”);

WHEREAS, the Investors desire to purchase shares of Series B Preferred Stock on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to sell and issue shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Investors on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises, representations, warranties, and covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF STOCK.

1.1 Authorization of Series B Preferred Stock. On or before the First Closing Date (as defined below), the Company shall adopt and file with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Restated Certificate”).

1.2 Sale of Series B Preferred Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Investor agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase at the First Closing, each Additional Closing or the Second Closing (each as defined below), as applicable, and the Company agrees to sell and issue to each Investor at the First Closing, each Additional Closing or the Second Closing, as applicable, that number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock as is set forth opposite each Investor’s name on Exhibit A hereto at the purchase price of $3.00 per share of Series B Preferred Stock. Payment of the purchase price for the shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be made by each Investor no later than the close of business on the third business day prior to the First Closing or the Second Closing, as applicable, by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company.

1.3 First Closing. The first closing of the purchase, sale and issuance of shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Agreement (the “First Closing”) shall take place at the offices of the Company at 10:00 a.m. on the date of this Agreement, or on such other date as the Company and the Majority Investors (as defined below) may agree either in writing or orally (the “First Closing Date”). At the First Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Investor a certificate in such Investor’s name representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock purchased by such Investor at such First Closing as set forth opposite such Investor’s name on Exhibit A under the heading “First Closing”, against payment of the purchase price therefor as provided in Section 1.2.


1.4 Second Closing.

(a) A second closing of the purchase, sale and issuance of shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Agreement (the “Second Closing”) shall take place on February 15, 2012 or such other date, upon written notice to the Investors, up to 60 days thereafter, as approved by a majority of the Company’s board of directors. The date on which the Second Closing occurs in accordance with this Section 1.4 is referred to herein as the “Second Closing Date”.

(b) At the Second Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Investor a certificate in such Investor’s name representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock purchased by such Investor at such Second Closing as set forth opposite such Investor’s name on Exhibit A under the heading “Second Closing,” against payment of the purchase price therefor as provided in Section 1.2.

1.5 Oversubscription Rights. In the event that, in connection with the Second Closing, any Investor (each, a “Non-Participating Investor”) indicates that such Investor is unable to purchase the full number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock set forth opposite such Non-Participating Investor’s name on Exhibit A for the Second Closing or fails to timely deliver the purchase price for such shares in accordance with Section 1.2 above, the Company shall notify each of Avalon Ventures IX, L.P., MPM BioVentures V, L.P., MidPoint Food & Ag Fund, LP, MidPoint Food & Ag Co-Investment Fund, LP and Kansas Bioscience Authority to the extent that each does intend to purchase the full number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock set forth opposite its name on Exhibit A for the Second Closing (each, a “Participating Major Investor”), of such fact, and each such Participating Major Investor shall have the additional right (but not the obligation) to purchase at the Second Closing, on a pro rata basis with any other Participating Major Investors that so elect, within seven (7) days following its receipt of such notice, any remaining shares of Series B Preferred Stock authorized for sale at the Second Closing (the “Oversubscription Shares”) until all Oversubscription Shares have been purchased or until no Participating Major Investor desires to purchase any otherwise remaining Oversubscription Shares.

1.6 References to “Closing” or “Closing Date”. For purposes of this Agreement: (i) each of the First Closing and the Second Closing are sometimes referred to as a “Closing” or collectively as the “Closings”; and (ii) each of the First Closing Date and the Second Closing Date are sometimes referred to as a “Closing Date” or collectively as the “Closing Dates”.

1.7 References to “Majority Investors”. For purposes of this Agreement, “Majority Investors” shall mean and include Avalon Ventures IX, L.P. and each Permitted Transferee (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement (as defined below)) thereof and MPM BioVentures V, L.P. and each Permitted Transferee thereof; provided, however, that to the extent that any of the foregoing entities becomes a Non-Fully-Participating Series B Investor (as defined in the Restated Certificate) or otherwise ceases to hold shares of Series B Preferred Stock, such entity shall no longer be a Majority Investor.

 

2.


1.8 Additional Closing.

(a) At any time following the First Closing through and including the Second Closing, the Company may sell up to an aggregate of 166,667 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Additional Shares”), at a purchase price of $3.00 per share, to one or more investor(s) (each an “Additional Investor” and collectively, the “Additional Investors”) acceptable to: (i) a majority of the Company’s board of directors; and (ii) the Majority Investors.

(b) Each closing of the purchase, sale and issuance of Additional Shares to the Additional Investor(s) (each, an “Additional Closing”) shall take place at the offices of the Company at 10:00 a.m. on such date as the Company and the Additional Investor(s) participating in such Additional Closing may agree either orally or in writing (the “Additional Closing Date”). At each Additional Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Additional Investor participating in the Additional Closing a certificate in such Additional Investor’s name representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock purchased by such Additional Investor at such Additional Closing, against payment of the purchase price as provided in Section 1.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this Agreement, including, without limitation, Exhibit A hereto, may be amended by the Company without the consent of any Investors to: (i) reflect the issuance of Additional Shares at each Additional Closing; and (ii) upon the execution by an Additional Investor of a counterpart signature page hereto, to include such Additional Investor on Exhibit A (a) under the heading “Additional Closing” reflecting the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock purchased by such Additional Investor at each Additional Closing and (b) under the heading “Second Closing” to reflect that each Additional Investor has committed to purchase in the Second Closing a number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the number of Additional Shares purchased by such Additional Investor at such Additional Closing. Upon the execution by such Additional Investor of a counterpart signature page hereto, such Additional Investor shall be deemed to be an “Investor” for all purposes under this Agreement.

1.9 In connection with any Additional Closing, the Company and each Additional Investor acknowledge and agree that: (i) the purchase and sale of Additional Shares at such Additional Closing shall be made on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; (ii) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 2 (and the Schedule of Exceptions (as defined below)) shall speak only as of the First Closing, and the Company shall have no obligation to update any such representations and warranties (or exceptions) as of the Additional Closing; and (iii) the representations and warranties of each Additional Investor in Section 3 shall speak as of the Additional Closing Date.

There have been no formal meetings held of, or corporate actions taken by, the stockholders of the Company, the board of directors of the Company or any committee of the board of directors of the Company that are not fully reflected in the Company Documents.

2.3 Capitalization, Etc.

All of the properties and assets owned, leased or used by the Company are in good operating condition and repair and are fit and usable for the purposes for which they are being used.

2.6 No Undisclosed Liabilities.

2.9 Employees and Consultants. The Company has no collective bargaining agreements with any of its employees. There is no labor union organizing activity pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened with respect to the Company. To the Company’s knowledge, no employee of the Company, nor any consultant with whom the Company has contracted, is in violation of any term of any employment contract, proprietary information agreement or any other agreement relating to the right of any such individual to be employed by, or to contract with, the Company because of the nature of the business to be conducted by the Company, and to the Company’s knowledge the continued employment by the Company of its present employees, and the performance of the Company’s contracts with its independent contractors, will not result in any such violation. The Company has not received any notice alleging that any such violation has occurred. No employee of the Company has been granted the right to continued employment by the Company or to any material compensation following termination of employment with the Company. The Company has no policy, practice, plan or program of paying severance pay or any form of severance compensation in connection with the termination of employment services. The Company is not aware that any officer, key employee or group of employees intends to terminate his, her or their employment with the Company, nor does the Company have any present intention to terminate the employment of any officer, key employee or group of employees. The Company is not delinquent in payments to any of its employees, consultants or independent contractors for any wages, salaries, commissions, bonuses or other direct compensation for any service performed for it or amounts required to be reimbursed to such employees, consultants or independent contractors. The Company has complied in all material respects with all applicable state and federal equal employment opportunity laws and with other laws related to employment. The Company has withheld and paid to the appropriate governmental entity or is holding for payment not yet due to such governmental entity all amounts required to be withheld from employees of the Company and is not liable for any arrears of wages, taxes, penalties, or other sums for failure to comply with any of the foregoing.

 

7.


2.10 Litigation. There is no claim, action, suit, proceeding, arbitration or investigation currently pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened: (i) against the Company or any officer, director or employee of the Company arising out of their employment or board relationship with the Company; (ii) that concerns or questions the validity of any Transaction Document; (iii) that concerns or questions the right of the Company to enter into any Transaction Document; (iv) that concerns or questions the right of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents; or (v) that might result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any Material Adverse Effect, or in any change in the current equity ownership of the Company. Neither the Company nor, to the Company’s knowledge, any of its current or former officers, directors or employees, is a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality (in the case of officers, directors or employees, such as would affect the Company). There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the Company currently pending or that the Company intends to initiate.

2.11 Intellectual Property Rights.

(a) The Company owns or possesses a valid and enforceable license or other sufficient legal rights to all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets and other proprietary information and proprietary rights necessary to conduct its business as it is currently conducted or proposed to be conducted without any conflict with, or infringement of, the rights of any third party. To the Company’s knowledge, no product or service marketed or sold (or proposed to be marketed or sold) by the Company violates or will violate any license or infringes or will infringe any intellectual property rights of any other party. All such owned or licensed rights will not cease to be valid and enforceable by reason of execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. There are no outstanding options, licenses or agreements of any kind relating to the foregoing, nor is the Company bound by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets or other proprietary information or rights of any third party. The Company has not received any communications alleging that the Company has violated any of the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets or other proprietary information or rights of any third party. No interference, opposition, reissue, reexamination, or other proceeding is or has been pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, in which the scope, validity, or enforceability of the patents has been or would reasonably be expected to be contested or challenged. No employee of the Company is obligated under any agreement or understanding, or subject to any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality, that would interfere with the use of his or her best efforts to promote the interests of the Company or that would conflict with the Company’s business as it is currently conducted or proposed to be conducted.

 

8.


(b) All of the registrations and pending applications to governmental or regulatory bodies with respect to the intellectual property of the Company have been timely and duly filed, prosecution for such applications has been attended to, all maintenance and related fees have been paid, and the Company has taken all other actions required to maintain their validity and effectiveness. The Company has taken all reasonable steps necessary or appropriate (including, entering into written confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with officers, directors, subcontractors, employees, licensees and customers) to safeguard and maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of trade secrets that are material to the Company. Without limiting the foregoing: (i) to the knowledge of the Company, there has been no misappropriation of any trade secrets or other material confidential patent rights by any individual or entity; (ii) to the knowledge of the Company, no employee, independent contractor or agent of the Company has misappropriated any trade secrets of any other individual or entity in the course of performance as an employee, independent contractor or agent of the Company; and (iii) to the knowledge of the Company, no employee, independent contractor or agent of the Company is in default or breach of any term of any employment agreement, nondisclosure agreement, assignment of invention agreement or similar agreement or contract relating in any way to the protection, ownership, development, use or transfer of the patent rights. No funding, facilities or personnel of any Governmental Authority (as defined below) or educational institution were used, directly or indirectly, to develop or create, in whole or in part, any of the patent rights.

2.12 Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation or default of: (i) any provision of the Company Documents; (ii) any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or its properties or assets are bound; (iii) in any material respect, any material agreement or understanding (including, without limitation, any agreement or understanding described in the Schedule of Exceptions) to which the Company is a party or by which its properties or assets are bound; or (iv) any provision of any legal requirement applicable to the Company that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company, nor the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, will result in any such violation or default.

2.13 Material Agreements; Actions.

(a) Except for agreements explicitly contemplated by the Transaction Documents, there are no agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts, proposed transactions, judgments, orders, writs or decrees to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or its properties or assets are bound that involve or may involve: (i) obligations (contingent or otherwise) of the Company in excess of $10,000 or payments to the Company in excess of $25,000; (ii) the license of any patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets or other proprietary information or rights to or from the Company; (iii) provisions restricting or limiting the Company’s ability to compete or otherwise adversely affecting the ability of the Company to conduct its business as it is currently conducted; (iv) provisions restricting the Company’s exclusive right to develop, manufacture, assemble, distribute, market or sell its products; or (v) indemnification by the Company with respect to infringements of proprietary rights.

9.


(c) The Company is not a guarantor or indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other individual or entity.

(d) For the purposes of subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.13, all indebtedness, liabilities, agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts and proposed transactions involving the same individual or entity (including individuals or entities the Company has reason to believe are affiliated with each other) shall be aggregated for the purpose of meeting the individual minimum dollar amounts of such subsection.

2.14 Related-Party Transactions. There are no obligations of the Company to any officers, directors, stockholders or employees of the Company, or agreements, understandings or proposed transactions between the Company and any of its officers, directors, stockholders or employees or any affiliates thereof, other than for: (i) payment of salary for services rendered; (ii) reimbursement for reasonable business expenses incurred on behalf of the Company in accordance with the Company’s reimbursement policies and procedures; (iii) other standard employee benefits made generally available to all employees; and (iv) options to purchase Common Stock approved by the Company’s board of directors. The Company is not indebted, directly or indirectly, to any of its directors, officers or employees or to their respective spouses or children or to any affiliate of any of the foregoing, other than in connection with expenses or advances of expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business or employee relocation expenses and for other customary employee benefits made generally available to all employees. None of the officers, directors, stockholders or employees of the Company, or any members of their immediate families, or any affiliate of any of the foregoing, are indebted to the Company, nor has the Company guaranteed the repayment by any such person of any debts owed to third parties. No officer, director, stockholder or employee of the Company, or any member of their immediate families, is, directly or indirectly, interested in any material agreement or understanding to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or its properties or assets are bound, other than insofar as such interest relates to such person’s ownership of the Company’s capital stock or other securities of the Company.

2.15 Permits.

(a) The Company has not violated or failed to comply with any statute, law, ordinance, rule, regulation or policy (collectively, “Laws”) of any court or governmental authority, department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, whether domestic or foreign (each, a “Governmental Authority”) to which it or any of its properties or assets is subject, except where such violation or failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to have any Material Adverse Effect. The Company has all franchises, permits, licenses, orders, certificates, authorizations and approvals of any Governmental Authority (collectively, the “Permits”) that are material to the conduct of its business as presently conducted and, except for such foreign and U.S. regulatory approvals that may be required to be obtained as a condition to the marketing and sale of the Company’s products, as proposed to be conducted. All such Permits are in full force and effect, and to the knowledge of the Company no violations or notices of failure to comply have been issued or recorded in respect of any such Permits. The

 

10.


Company is not in default in any material respect under any of such Permits. The Company has no knowledge of any reason why such Permits may be revoked or suspended. The Company believes it can obtain, without undue burden or expense, any such Permits for the conduct of its business as planned to be conducted. All applications, reports, notices and other documents required to be filed by the Company with all Governmental Authorities have been timely filed and are complete and correct in all material respects as filed or as amended prior to the applicable Closing except where the failure to so file would not reasonably be expected to have any Material Adverse Effect. With respect to any required Permits, applications for which are either pending or contemplated to be made pursuant to the business strategy of the Company, the Company does not know of any reason why such Permits should not be approved and granted by the appropriate Governmental Authority. Neither the Company nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any of its officers or agents has made any illegal or improper payments to, or provided any illegal or improper inducement for, any governmental official or other individual or entity in an attempt to influence any such individual or entity to take or to refrain from taking any action relating to the Company. To the Company’s knowledge, during the past five years, no officer or key employee of the Company has been: (i) arrested for or convicted of a crime (other than minor traffic violations); (ii) adjudged bankrupt; or (iii) been an officer or director of a company that has been adjudged bankrupt.

(b) The Company: (i) has not received any notice or correspondence from any Governmental Authority alleging or asserting any noncompliance with any applicable Laws or Permits held by the Company; and (ii) has not received notice that any Governmental Authority has taken or is intending to take action to limit, suspend, modify or revoke any Permits held by the Company and has no knowledge that such Governmental Authority is considering such action.

2.16 Environmental Protection. No substances that are defined by applicable legal requirements concerning the environment as toxic materials, hazardous wastes or hazardous substances (including, without limitation, any asbestos, oils, petroleum-derived compound or pesticides) (collectively, Hazardous Materials) are or have been located in, on or about the properties that are owned or leased by the Company. The properties that are owned or leased by the Company have not been used for the storage, manufacture or disposal of Hazardous Materials, and the Company has not used, or provided permission to others to use, the properties that are owned or leased by the Company for the storage, manufacture or disposal of Hazardous Materials.

2.17 Valid Issuance of Preferred and Common Stock. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are being purchased by the Investors hereunder, when sold, issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the consideration expressed herein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will be free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer under the Transaction Documents and under applicable federal and state securities laws. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock that are being purchased by the Investors hereunder have been duly and validly reserved for issuance and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of the Restated Certificate, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable and will be free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer under the Transaction Documents and under applicable federal and state securities laws.

 

11.


2.18 Governmental Consents. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except such as has been duly and validly obtained or filed, or with respect to any filings pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, that must be made after each Closing, as will be filed in a timely manner.

2.19 Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investors contained in Section 3 hereof, the offer, sale and issuance of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock being purchased by the Investors hereunder and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock being purchased by the Investors hereunder are and will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit, or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws.

2.20 Full Disclosure. Neither this Agreement, the Schedule of Exceptions, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, document, certificate, schedule or instrument delivered or executed in connection herewith or therewith: (i) contains any representation or warranty by the Company or information regarding the Company that is false or misleading with respect to any material fact; or (ii) omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the representations, warranties and information regarding the Company contained herein and therein, in light of the circumstances under which such representations, warranties and information were or will be made or provided, not false or misleading.

3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE INVESTORS. Without limiting or modifying in any way the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, each Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company, severally but not jointly, as follows:

3.1 Authorization. Such Investor has full power and authority to enter into the Transaction Documents, each of which constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by 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) to the extent the indemnification provisions contained in any Transaction Document may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.

3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock being purchased by such Investor hereunder and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof (collectively, the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment purposes for such Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof. Such Investor has neither any present intention of, nor any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any individual or entity regarding, the sale, the granting of any participation in or any other distribution or transfer of any of the Securities.

 

12.


3.3 Disclosure of Information. Such Investor has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Agreement and the business, operations, properties and assets of the Company.

3.4 Investment Experience. Such Investor is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the shares of Series B Preferred Stock. If other than an individual, such Investor also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

3.5 Accredited Investor. Such Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501, as presently in effect, of Regulation D under the Securities Act for the reasons indicated on Investor’s signature page hereto.

3.6 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Such Investor is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Such Investor understands that an investment in the Securities involves an extremely high degree of risk and may result in a complete loss of such Investor’s investment. Such Investor understands that the Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and have not been and will not be registered or qualified in any state in which they are offered, and thus the Investor will not be able to resell or otherwise transfer his, her or its Securities unless such Securities are registered under the Securities Act and registered or qualified under applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration or qualification is available.

3.7 No Liquidity. Such Investor has no immediate need for liquidity in connection with such Investor’s investment in the Series B Preferred Stock, does not anticipate that such Investor will be required to sell his, her or its shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the foreseeable future, and has the capacity to sustain a complete loss of his, her or its investment in the Series B Preferred Stock.

3.8 Legends. Such Investor understands that the certificates evidencing the Securities may bear one or all of the following legends:

(a) “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF THE SECURITIES ACT.”

 

13.


(b) Any legend required by applicable state securities laws.

No interference, opposition, reissue, reexamination, or other proceeding is or has been pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, in which the scope, validity, or enforceability of the patents has been or would reasonably be expected to be contested or challenged. No employee of the Company is obligated under any agreement or understanding, or subject to any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality, that would interfere with the use of his or her best efforts to promote the interests of the Company or that would conflict with the Company’s business as it is currently conducted or proposed to be conducted.

The Company is not in default in any material respect under any of such Permits. The Company has no knowledge of any reason why such Permits may be revoked or suspended. The Company believes it can obtain,


without undue burden or expense, any such Permits for the conduct of its business as planned to be conducted. All applications, reports, notices and other documents required to be filed by the Company with all Governmental Authorities have been timely filed and are complete and correct in all material respects as filed or as amended prior to the applicable Closing except where the failure to so file would not reasonably be expected to have any Material Adverse Effect.

Neither the Company nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any of its officers or agents has made any illegal or improper payments to, or provided any illegal or improper inducement for, any governmental official or other individual or entity in an attempt to influence any such individual or entity to take or to refrain from taking any action relating to the Company.

Such Investor is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the shares of Series C Preferred Stock. If other than an individual, such Investor also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

3.5 Accredited Investor. Such Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501, as presently in effect, of Regulation D under the Securities Act for the reasons indicated on Investor’s signature page hereto.

3.6 Restricted Securities. Such Investor understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such Securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Such Investor is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Such Investor understands that an investment in the Securities involves an extremely high degree of risk and may result in a complete loss of such Investor’s investment. Such Investor understands that the Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and have not been and will not be registered or qualified in any state in which they are offered, and thus the Investor will not be able to resell or otherwise transfer his, her or its Securities unless such Securities are registered under the Securities Act and registered or qualified under applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration or qualification is available.

3.7 No Liquidity. Such Investor has no immediate need for liquidity in connection with such Investor’s investment in the Series C Preferred Stock, does not anticipate that such Investor will be required to sell his, her or its shares of Series C Preferred Stock in the foreseeable future, and has the capacity to sustain a complete loss of his, her or its investment in the Series C Preferred Stock.

3.8 Legends. Such Investor understands that the certificates evidencing the Securities may bear one or all of the following legends:

(a) “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF THE SECURITIES ACT.”


(b) Any legend required by applicable state securities laws.

LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

ARATANA THERAPEUTICS, INC.

1901 Olathe Blvd.

Kansas City, KS 66103

STIFEL, NICOLAUS & COMPANY, INCORPORATED

LAZARD CAPITAL MARKETS LLC

c/o Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated

237 Park Ave, 8th Floor

New York, NY 10017

and

c/o Lazard Capital Markets LLC

30 Rockefeller Plaza

New York, NY 10020

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned refers to the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among Aratana Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, Lazard Capital Markets LLC (together with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, the “Representatives”) and the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”). As an inducement to the Underwriters to execute the Underwriting Agreement in connection with the proposed public offering of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1, the undersigned hereby agrees that from the public offering date set forth on the final prospectus used to sell the Common Stock (the “Public Offering Date”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and until 180 days after the Public Offering Date (such 180-day period being referred to herein as the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not (and will use reasonable best efforts to cause any spouse, domestic partner or immediate family member of the spouse, domestic partner or the undersigned living in the undersigned’s household, any partnership, corporation, limited liability company or other entity within the undersigned’s control, and any trustee of any trust that holds Common Stock or other securities of the Company for the benefit of the undersigned or such spouse, domestic partner or immediate family member not to) offer, sell, contract to sell (including any short sale), pledge, hypothecate, establish an open “put equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, purchase any option or contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, or otherwise encumber, dispose of or transfer, or grant any rights with respect to, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of Common Stock, enter into a transaction which would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters, which consent may be withheld in the Representatives’ sole discretion. For purposes of this Agreement, “immediate family member” shall mean any relation by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.


If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, (i) the Representatives agree that, at least three business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of shares of Common Stock, the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters will notify the Company of the impending release or waiver, and (ii) the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by the Representatives hereunder to any such officer or director shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (a) bona fide gifts by the undersigned, (b) the surrender or forfeiture of shares of Common Stock to the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon exercise or vesting of stock options or equity awards; (c) transfers of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock to an immediate family member, an immediate family member of a domestic partner or a trust for the benefit of the undersigned, a domestic partner or an immediate family member or to any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity all of the beneficial ownership interests of which are held exclusively by the undersigned, a domestic partner and/or one or more family members of the undersigned or the undersigned’s domestic partner in a transaction not involving a disposition for value, (d) transfers of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock upon death by will or intestate succession, (e) the exercise of any option, warrant or other right to acquire shares of Common Stock, the settlement of any stock-settled stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or restricted stock units, or the conversion of any convertible security into securities of the Company, (f) securities transferred to one or more affiliates of the undersigned and distributions of securities to partners, members or stockholders of the undersigned, (g) transactions relating to securities acquired in open market transactions after the Public Offering Date, (h) the entry into any trading plan established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, provided that such plan does not provide for any sales or other dispositions of Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period , and (i) unless the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company or an affiliate thereof, any shares of Common Stock purchased by the undersigned in the offering contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement; provided that, in the case of a transfer or distribution pursuant to the preceding clauses (a), (c), (d) or (f), each resulting transferee of the Company’s securities agrees in writing prior to such transfer to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if it were a party hereto.

 

2


In addition, the undersigned agrees that, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 180 days after the Public Offering Date, without the prior written consent of the Representatives on behalf of the Underwriters (which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion): (a) the undersigned will not request, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, and (b) the undersigned waives any and all notice requirements and rights with respect to the registration of any such security pursuant to any agreement, understanding or otherwise to which the undersigned is a party. In addition, the undersigned hereby waives any and all preemptive rights, participation rights, resale rights, rights of first refusal and similar rights that the undersigned may have in connection with the offering contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement or with any issuance or sale by the Company of any equity or other securities before such offering.

Any Common Stock received upon exercise of options, warrants or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock granted to the undersigned will also be subject to this Agreement.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to (a) decline to make any transfer of shares of Common Stock if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement and (b) place legends and stop transfer instructions on any such shares of Common Stock owned or beneficially owned by the undersigned.

In the event that the Representatives release, in full or in part, any officer, director or stockholder of the Company (a “Stockholder”) from the restrictions of any lock-up agreement signed by such Stockholder with the Underwriters (a “Triggering Release”), then the undersigned shall be released in the same manner from the restrictions of this Agreement (i.e., in an amount equal to the same percentage of the shares of Common Stock being released in the Triggering Release relative to the undersigned’s ownership of Common Stock at the time of the request of the Triggering Release); provided that (a) in order to request a Triggering Release, the Stockholder requesting the Triggering Release must make a request in writing to the Company setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock to be released; (b) the Company must notify the other Stockholders of the requested Triggering Release within three business days; (c) any other Stockholder that intends to request a release of a pro rata portion of the shares of Common Stock held by them (the “Pro Rata Stockholders”) must (1) make such a request in writing to the Company and (2) certify in writing to the Underwriters and the Company the total number of shares of Common Stock held by such Pro Rata Stockholder; (d) the Company must (1) make a request in writing to the Representatives setting forth for the Stockholder requesting the Triggering Release and for each Pro Rata Stockholder the number of shares of Common Stock for which each such Stockholder is requesting a release and (2) provide to the Representatives the total number of shares of common stock of the Company outstanding as of the date of the request of such Triggering Release and certify in writing to the Underwriters that such number is true and accurate. If the Company fails to notify the undersigned within three business days of the request of the Triggering Release, the failure to give such notice shall not give rise to any claim or liability against the Representatives or the Underwriters.

 

3

Reference is made to Article IV, Section C(4)(i)(i) of the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) of Aratana Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), which provides that if at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date (as defined in the Charter), the Company issues or sells, or is deemed by the express provisions of Section 4(i) of the Charter to have issued or sold, Additional Shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Charter), other than as a dividend or other distribution on any class of stock as provided in Section 4(f) of the Charter, and other than a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Charter) as provided in Section 4(e) of the Charter, for an Effective Price (as defined in the Charter) less than the then-effective Series C Conversion Price, the then-effective Series B Conversion Price or the then-effective Series A Conversion Price (each as defined in the Charter), then and in each such case, unless otherwise determined by the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (as defined in the Charter), such then-existing Series C Conversion Price, then-existing Series B Conversion Price or then-existing Series A Conversion Price shall be reduced, as of the opening of business on the date of such issue or sale, to a price determined by multiplying such Series C Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series A Conversion Price by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding (as defined in the Charter) immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received (as determined in accordance with Section 4(i)(ii) of the Charter) by the Company for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Series C Conversion Price, Series B Conversion Price or Series A Conversion Price; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding (as defined in the Charter) immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued.
