Ladies and Gentlemen:

1. Subscription; Payment. The undersigned (referred to herein as “Investor”), intending to be legally bound under this Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”), hereby irrevocably agrees to purchase from Arrowhead Research Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), this subscription (the “Subscription”) in the amount of $ (the “Capital Commitment”) for $0.634 per Unit (as defined below) (the “Unit Price”), for a total of Units. which Unit shall consist of one (1) share of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock,” and such shares of Common Stock under the Units collectively referred to herein as the “Shares”) and a warrant, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to purchase a number of Shares to the number of Units purchased pursuant to the Subscription (the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the “Warrant Shares”). Each Share and Warrant shall be referred to herein as a “Unit” and collectively, the “Units”. This Subscription is submitted to Investor in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions described in this Subscription Agreement.

Investor shall either: (i) enclose herewith a certified or official bank check payable to the Company or (ii) transmit by wire transfer the amount of the Capital Commitment. The Company shall deposit all proceeds received for the Subscription in an account at Citizens Business Bank, pending acceptance of the Subscription.

Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Investor is executing and delivering a registration rights agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company will agree to provide certain registration rights with respect to the Shares and the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”) and applicable state securities laws. This Agreement, the Warrant, the Registration Rights Agreement and any documents, certificates or instruments executed and delivered by the Company pursuant hereto are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Agreements.”

2. Acceptance of Subscription; Closing. The Investor understands and agrees that the Company in its sole discretion reserves the right to accept or reject this or any other subscription in whole or in part, notwithstanding prior receipt by Investor of notice of acceptance. If this Subscription is rejected by the Company in whole or in part, the Company shall promptly return all funds received from the Investor without interest or deduction and this Subscription Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force or effect. If the Subscription is accepted in whole or in part, the Company shall notify the Investor of the date(s) of the closing of the purchase and sale of Units (each, a “Closing”), which Closing shall occur after the close of market at the offices of the Company.

The Company shall deliver to the Investor one or more stock certificates and Warrants evidencing the number of Units the Investor is purchasing pursuant to the Subscription promptly after the Closing.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Investor as of the date of Closing as follows:

(a) The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has all required corporate power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted, to enter into and perform the Transaction Agreements and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) The Transaction Agreements (including the sale and delivery of the Units and the reservation for issuance and the subsequent issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants) are, or will be upon stockholder approval, if necessary to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Stockholder Approval”), valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except (i) as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other principles of general application, (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. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreements executed and delivered by the Company pursuant hereto and the issuance and delivery of the Units and the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action of the Company, provided that the Company shall obtain the Stockholder Approval, if necessary. When issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreements, the Shares and the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, other than restrictions on transfer provided for in the Transaction Agreements or imposed by applicable securities laws, and shall not be subject to preemptive or similar rights.

(c) The execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements by the Company pursuant hereto, and the issuance and delivery of the Units and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants, do not and will not: (i) violate, conflict with, or result in a violation of, or constitute or result in a default or loss of any benefit under, any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”), or bylaws of the Company, or cause the creation of any encumbrance upon any of its assets; (ii) violate, conflict with, or result in a violation of, or constitute a default under, any provision of any applicable law, regulation or rule, or any order of, or any restriction imposed by, any court or governmental agency of competent jurisdiction; (iii) require from the Company any notice to, declaration or filing with, or consent or approval of, any governmental authority or other third party; or (iv) violate, conflict with, or result in a violation of, or constitute or result in a default under, accelerate any obligation under, or give rise to a right of termination of, any contract, agreement, permit, license, authorization or other obligation to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its assets are bound.

(d) Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Investor in this Agreement, the Shares and the Warrant Shares will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. As of the date of Closing, the Company shall have reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth in the Warrants). The Company shall, so long as any of the Warrants are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued capital stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, the number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (without taking into account any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth in the Warrants).

(e) The number of shares and type of all authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock, options and other securities of the Company (whether or not presently convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company) is set forth in Schedule 3(e) hereto. The Company has not issued any capital stock since the date of its most recently filed SEC Report (as defined below) except as set forth in Schedule 3(e).

(f) The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by law or regulation to file such material) (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension, except where the failure to file on a timely basis would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). As of their respective filing dates, or to the extent corrected by a subsequent restatement, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the United Stated Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) promulgated thereunder. “Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, prospects, business or financial condition of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except that any of the following, either alone or in combination, shall not be deemed a Material Adverse Effect: (i) effects caused by changes or circumstances affecting general market conditions in the U.S. economy or which are generally applicable to the industry in which the Company operates, provided that such effects are not borne disproportionately by the Company, (ii) effects resulting from or relating to the announcement or disclosure of the sale of the Units or other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) effects caused by any event, occurrence or condition resulting from or relating to the taking of any action in accordance with this Agreement.

(g) The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing (or to the extent corrected by a subsequent restatement). Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a

consistent basis during the periods involved, except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial year-end audit adjustments.

(h) Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Reports, except as specifically disclosed in a subsequent SEC Report filed prior to the date hereof, (i) there have been no events, occurrences or developments that have had or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any material liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to GAAP or disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered materially its method of accounting or the manner in which it keeps its accounting books and records, and (iv) the Company has not declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of its capital stock (other than in connection with repurchases of unvested stock issued to employees of the Company).

(i) Assuming the accuracy of Investor’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Units by the Company to Investor under the Transaction Agreements. The issuance and sale of the Units hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Capital Market.

4. Representations and Warranties. Investor hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company as follows:

(a) Investor understands that the offering and sale of the Units are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and in accordance therewith and in furtherance thereof, Investor represents and warrants and agrees as follows:

(i) Investor has been afforded an opportunity to review information relating to the Company, the Company’s business and finances, the offering by the Company of the Units and any and all other information deemed relevant by Investor in order to make an informed investment decision regarding the Units (collectively, the “Information”), and has reviewed and received such Information and understands the Information and the Transaction Agreements;

The Units have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. Investor represents that Investor is purchasing the Units for Investor’s own account, for investment and not with a view to resale or distribution except in compliance with the Securities Act. Investor has not offered or sold any portion of the Units being acquired nor does Investor have any present intention of selling, distributing or otherwise disposing of any portion of the Units, either currently or after the passage of a

fixed or determinable period of time or upon the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any predetermined event or circumstance in violation of the Securities Act. Investor is aware that an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated thereunder is not presently available; that the Company has no obligation to register Investor’s Units (except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement) or to make available an exemption from the registration requirements pursuant to such Rule 144 or any successor rule for resale of Investor’s Units;

(xiii) INVESTOR UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HIS OR HER INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND IS SUITABLE ONLY FOR INVESTORS OF SUBSTANTIAL MEANS WHO HAVE NO IMMEDIATE NEED FOR LIQUIDITY OF THE AMOUNT INVESTED, AND THAT SUCH INVESTMENT INVOLVES A RISK OF LOSS OF ALL OR A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF SUCH INVESTMENT; and

(xiv) Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

(b) Investor’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is reasonable in relation to Investor’s net worth.

(c) Investor hereby agrees to provide such information and to execute and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and ordinances to which the Company is subject, including, without limitation, such additional information as the Company may deem appropriate with regard to Investor’s suitability.

(d) Investor acknowledges:

(i) In making an investment decision Investor has relied on Investor’s own examination of the Company and the terms of the offering of the Units, including the merits and risks involved. THE UNITS OFFERED IN THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT HAVE NOT BEEN RECOMMENDED BY ANY FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR REGULATORY AUTHORITY. FURTHERMORE, THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THE ACCURACY OR DETERMINED THE ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION OR THIS DOCUMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE;

(ii) Investor, if executing the Transaction Agreements in a representative or fiduciary capacity, has full power and authority to execute and deliver the Transaction Agreements in such capacity and on behalf of the subscribing individual, ▇▇▇▇, partnership, trust, estate, corporation, limited liability company or other entity for whom Investor is executing the Transaction Agreements, and such individual, ▇▇▇▇, partnership, trust, estate, corporation, limited liability company or other entity has full right and power to perform pursuant to the Transaction Agreements and make an investment in the Company; and

(ii) The Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by the Transaction Agreements to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing and shall have obtained in a timely fashion any and all consents, permits, approvals, registrations and waivers necessary for consummation of the purchase and sale of the Units, all of which shall be and remain so long as necessary in full force and effect.

(iii) the Company shall deliver to the Investor this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, duly executed by the Company;

(iii) Investor shall deliver to the Company:

(1) this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, duly executed by Investor; and

(2) the Capital Commitment, in United States dollars and in immediately available funds, and completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9.

7. Transfer Restrictions.

(a) The Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Shares, other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Investor or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 7 (b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Shares under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights of a Investor under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) The Investors agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 7, of a legend on any of the Shares in the following form:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Investor may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Investor may transfer pledged or secured Shares to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Investor’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Shares may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Shares, including, if the Shares are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of Selling Stockholders thereunder.

(c) Certificates evidencing the Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 7(b)), (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) following any sale of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale without restriction under Rule 144, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Warrant Shares, such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 7(c), it will use reasonable efforts to, within three Business Days following the delivery by a Investor to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Business Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor, a certificate representing such shares free from all restrictive legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section. Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Investor by crediting the account of the Investor’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Investor.

(d) Each Investor, severally and not jointly with the other Investors, agrees that such Investor will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Shares as set forth in this Section 7 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

8. Indemnification. Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company its officers, members, directors, employees, consultants, advisors, attorneys, agents and affiliates against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, without limitation, any and all expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing, or defending against any litigation commenced or threatened or any claim whatsoever) arising out of or based upon any false representation or warranty or breach or failure by Investor to comply with any covenant or agreement made by Investor herein or in any other document furnished by Investor to any of the foregoing in connection with this transaction.

9. Irrevocability; Binding Effect; Entire Agreement. Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Subscription hereunder is irrevocable by Investor, that, except as required by law, Investor is not entitled to cancel, terminate or revoke this Subscription Agreement or any agreements of Investor hereunder, and that this Subscription Agreement and such other agreements shall survive the death or disability of Investor and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. If Investor is more than one person, the obligations of Investor hereunder shall be joint and several and the agreements, representations, warranties and acknowledgments herein contained shall be deemed to be made by and be binding upon each such person and his/her heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. The Transaction Agreements sets forth the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

10. Modification. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any provisions hereof shall be waived, modified, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom any such waiver, modification, discharge or termination is sought.
