Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.

RECITALS

A. Talos and the Company intend to merge Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) in accordance with this Agreement and the DGCL. Upon consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist, and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Talos.

B. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, Talos, Merger Sub and the Company intend that the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, that this Agreement will constitute a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code, and that Talos, Merger Sub and the Company will each be a “party to the reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code.

C. Talos and the Company intend that the Pre-Closing Dividend (defined below) shall have been declared as of a record date, and paid to holders of Talos Common Stock, prior to the Closing Date (defined below) of the Merger, which declaration and payment of the Pre-Closing Dividend is a material inducement for certain stockholders of Talos to execute the Talos Voting Agreements (defined below).

D. The Board of Directors of Talos (i) has determined that the Merger is advisable and in the best interests of Talos and its stockholders, (ii) has approved this Agreement, the Merger, the issuance of shares of Talos Common Stock to the stockholders of the Company and the payment of the Pre-Closing Dividend to the stockholders of Talos pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and the other actions contemplated by this Agreement and has deemed this Agreement advisable and (iii) has determined to recommend that the stockholders of Talos vote to approve the issuance of shares of Talos Common Stock to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and such other actions as contemplated by this Agreement.

E. The Board of Directors of Merger Sub (i) has determined that the Merger is advisable and in the best interests of Merger Sub and its sole stockholder, (ii) has approved this Agreement, the Merger, and the other actions contemplated by this Agreement and has deemed this Agreement advisable and (iii) has determined to recommend that the sole stockholder of Merger Sub vote to approve the Merger and such other actions as contemplated by this Agreement.

F.

G. In order to induce the Company to enter into this Agreement and to cause the Merger to be consummated, certain stockholders of Talos listed on Schedule A-1 hereto, are executing voting agreements in favor of the Company concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 (the “Talos Voting Agreements”).

H. In order to induce Talos and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement and to cause the Merger to be consummated, certain stockholders of the Company listed on Schedule A-2 hereto, are executing voting agreements in favor of Talos concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 (the “Company Voting Agreements” and, together with the Talos Voting Agreements, the “Voting Agreements”).

I. In order to induce Talos and Merger Sub to cause the Merger to be consummated, each of the Company’s executive officers, directors and holders of shares of Company Capital Stock, Company Stock Options and Company Warrants listed on Schedule C will execute lock-up agreements in favor of Talos prior to the Closing relating to sales and certain other dispositions of shares of Talos Common Stock or certain other securities in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Lock-up Agreements”).

AGREEMENT

The parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Section 1. DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION

1.1 Structure of the Merger.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.3), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, and the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease. The Company will continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).

1.2 Effects of the Merger.

The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. As a result of the Merger, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Talos.

1.3 Closing; Effective Time.

Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.1 of this Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 6, Section 7 and Section 8 of this Agreement, the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo,

P.C., ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than the second Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Section 6, Section 7 and Section 8, other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of such conditions), or at such other time, date and place as Talos and the Company may mutually agree in writing, provided that if all the conditions set forth in Section 6, Section 7 and Section 8 shall not have been satisfied or waived on such second Business Day, then the Closing shall take place on the first subsequent Business Day on which all such conditions shall have been satisfied or waived. The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.” At the Closing, the Parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by executing and filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Merger with respect to the Merger, satisfying the applicable requirements of the DGCL and in a form reasonably acceptable to Talos and the Company. The Merger shall become effective at the time of the filing of such Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Merger”), or at such later time as may be specified in such Certificate of Merger with the consent of Talos and the Company (the time as of which the Merger becomes effective being referred to as the “Effective Time”).

1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Directors and Officers.

At the Effective Time:

(a) the certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth on Exhibit D, and as so amended and restated, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law;

(b) Talos shall file an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to change the name of Talos to “Catalyst Biosciences, Inc.”;

(c) the bylaws of the Company shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read identically to the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and as so amended and restated, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such bylaws;

(d) the directors and officers of Talos shall be as set forth in Section 5.11; and

(e) the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, shall be the directors and officers of the Company as set forth in Section 5.11.

1.5 Conversion of Shares.

(a) Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Talos, Merger Sub, the Company or any stockholder of the Company:

(i) All shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock that are held by the Company as treasury stock or that are owned by the Company or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; and

(ii) Subject to Section 1.5(b), each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(i) and excluding Dissenting Shares) shall be converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares of Talos Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (all of such shares of Talos Common Stock to be issued in the Merger, the “Merger Consideration”).

(b) No Fractional Shares of Talos Common Stock. No fractional shares of Talos Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger as a result of the conversion provided for in Section 1.5(a)(ii), and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Talos Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Talos Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon surrender of such holder’s Company Stock Certificate(s) (as defined in Section 1.6), be entitled to receive, from the Exchange Agent (as defined in Section 1.7(a)) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.5, a cash payment in lieu of such fractional shares representing such holder’s proportionate interest, if any, in the proceeds from the sale by the Exchange Agent (reduced by any fees of the exchange agent attributable to such sale) in one or more transactions of shares of Talos Common Stock equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate number of shares of Talos Common Stock to be delivered to the Exchange Agent by Talos pursuant to Section 1.7(a) over (ii) the aggregate number of whole shares of Talos Common Stock to be distributed to holders of Company Stock Certificates pursuant to Section 1.7(b) (such excess being, the “Excess Shares”). As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent, as agent for the holders of the certificates representing shares of Talos Common Stock that would otherwise receive fractional shares, shall sell the Excess Shares at then prevailing prices on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (or such other NASDAQ market on which the Talos Common Stock is then listed).

(c) Company Stock Options. All Company Stock Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Company Stock Option Plans and all Company Stand-Alone Stock Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be exchanged for options to purchase Talos Common Stock in accordance with Section 5.4.

(d) Company Warrants. All Company Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be exchanged for warrants to purchase Talos Common Stock in accordance with Section 5.4.

(e) Common Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Surviving

Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall, as of the Effective Time, evidence ownership of such shares of Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(f) Certain Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock or Talos Common Stock shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, the Exchange Ratio shall be correspondingly adjusted to provide the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment to the Exchange Ratio shall be made as a result of the payment of the Pre-Closing Dividend or the conversion of shares of Company Preferred Stock into shares of Company Common Stock.

1.6 Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books.

At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Capital Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Company Stock Certificate”) is presented to the Exchange Agent (as defined in Section 1.7(a)) or to the Surviving Corporation, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Sections 1.5 and 1.7. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Company Stock Certificates outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will cease to have any rights with respect to the Company Common Stock and/or Company Preferred Stock, as applicable, represented by such Company Stock Certificates except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law.

1.7 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC or another reputable bank, transfer agent or trust company selected by Talos (such selection subject to the Company’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be appointed to act as exchange agent in the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). At or promptly following the Effective Time, Talos shall deposit with the Exchange Agent certificates representing the shares of Talos Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.5 in exchange for the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. The shares of Talos Common Stock and any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such shares, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund.”

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Parties shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the Persons who were record holders of Company Stock Certificates immediately prior to the Effective Time: (i) a letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Letters of Transmittal”), containing such provisions as Talos may reasonably specify (including (A) a provision confirming that delivery of Company Stock Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Company Stock Certificates shall pass,

only upon delivery of such Company Stock Certificates to the Exchange Agent and (B) a general release of all claims against the Company and Talos); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates in exchange for certificates representing Talos Common Stock. Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate to the Exchange Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or Talos: (A) the holder of such Company Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing the number of whole shares of Talos Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive (and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Talos Common Stock) pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5; and (B) the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.7(b), each Company Stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive shares of Talos Common Stock (and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Talos Common Stock). If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Talos may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the delivery of any shares of Talos Common Stock, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an applicable affidavit with respect to such Company Stock Certificate and post a bond indemnifying Talos against any claim suffered by Talos related to the lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate or any Talos Common Stock issued in exchange therefor as Talos may reasonably request. If any certificates evidencing shares of Talos Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the surrendered Company Stock Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by an executed form of assignment separate from the Company Stock Certificate and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the Person requesting such exchange pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other tax required by reason of the issuance of a new certificate for shares of Talos Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Company Stock Certificate surrendered or otherwise establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(c) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Talos Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate with respect to the shares of Talos Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive in the Merger until such holder surrenders such Company Stock Certificate (or complies with the lost stock provisions) in accordance with this Section 1.7 (at which time such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).

(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Company Stock Certificates as of the date 180 days after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Talos upon demand, and any holders of Company Stock Certificates who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates in accordance with this Section 1.7 shall thereafter look only to Talos (subject to any applicable escheat Law, abandoned property Law or similar Law) for satisfaction of their claims for Talos Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Talos Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to shares of Talos Common Stock.

(e) Each of Talos, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable under this Agreement to any holder of record of any Company Capital Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time or any other Person who is entitled to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any other state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment and shall be entitled to request any reasonably appropriate Tax forms, including Form W-9 (or the appropriate Form W-8, as applicable) from any recipient of Merger Consideration hereunder. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted, such withheld or deducted amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person(s) to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(f) No party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of any Company Stock Certificate or to any other Person with respect to any shares of Talos Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or for any cash amounts, delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property Law, escheat Law or similar Law.

1.8 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by stockholders who have exercised and perfected appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights for such shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the DGCL (collectively, the “Company Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the per share amount of the Merger Consideration described in Section 1.5 attributable to such Company Dissenting Shares. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Company Capital Stock held by them in accordance with the DGCL, unless and until such stockholders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under the DGCL. All Company Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their right to appraisal of such shares of Company Capital Stock under the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to be converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the per share amount of the Merger Consideration attributable to such Company Dissenting Shares upon their surrender in the manner provided in Section 1.5.

(b) The Company shall give Talos prompt written notice of any demands by dissenting stockholders received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served on the Company and any material correspondence received by the Company in connection with such demands, and Talos shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Talos, or to the extent required by applicable law, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands.

1.9 Further Action.

At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub or the Company, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub or the Company, any other actions and things necessary to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

Section 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

The Company represents and warrants to Talos and Merger Sub as follows, except as set forth in the written disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to Talos (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”). The Company Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in parts and subparts corresponding to the numbered and lettered Sections and subsections contained in this Section 2. The disclosures in any part or subpart of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall qualify other Sections and subsections in this Section 2 only to the extent it is reasonably apparent from the face of the disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other Sections and subsections.

2.1 Organization.

(a) The Company is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good corporate standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. The Company is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in corporate good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned, leased, or operated by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified and in corporate good standing would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The certificate of incorporation of the Company (the “Company Charter”) and the bylaws of the Company (the “Company Bylaws”), copies of which have previously been made available to Talos, are true, correct and complete copies of such documents as currently in effect and the Company is not in violation of any provision thereof.

Each of the Company’s Subsidiaries has all requisite corporate power or other power and authority to own, lease and operate all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. Each of the Company’s Subsidiaries is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned, leased, or operated by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be

so licensed or qualified and in good standing would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries, copies of which have previously been made available to Talos, are true, correct and complete copies of such documents as currently in effect and such Subsidiaries of the Company are not in violation of any provision thereof.

(a) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Laws or Orders, except where any such failure to be in compliance has not had, or would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. No investigation or review by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, nor has any Governmental Authority indicated an intention to conduct the same which, in each case, would reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse impact on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) Except as has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective employees and agents hold all permits, licenses, variances, registrations, exemptions, Orders, consents and approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) and any other Governmental Authority that is concerned with the quality, identity, strength, purity, safety, efficacy or manufacturing of Company Products (any such Governmental Authority, a “Company Regulatory Agency”) necessary for the lawful operating of the businesses of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries as currently conducted (the “Company Permits”), including all authorizations required under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938, as amended (the “FDCA”), and the regulations of the FDA promulgated thereunder, and the Public Health Service Act of 1944, as amended (the “PHSA”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged that no Company Product is a marketed product or has received marketing approval and, therefore, that further permits, licenses, variances, registrations, exemptions, Orders, consents and/or approvals will be required before any Company Product may be marketed. Except as has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, all such Company Permits are valid, and in full force and effect. Since January 1, 2013, there has not occurred any violation of, default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under, or

event giving to others any right of termination, amendment or cancellation of, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, any Company Permit except as has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with the terms of all Company Permits, and no event has occurred that, to the Knowledge of the Company, would reasonably be expected to result in the revocation, cancellation, non-renewal or adverse modification of any Company Permit, except as has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(c) None of the Company or its Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, employee, agent or Representative thereof, has committed any act, made any statement or failed to make any statement that would reasonably be expected to provide a basis for the FDA or any other Company Regulatory Agency to invoke its policy with respect to “Fraud, Untrue Statements of Material Facts, Bribery, and Illegal Gratuities,” as set forth in 56 Fed. Reg. 46191 (Sept. 10, 1991) and any amendments thereto. None of the Company or its Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, employee, agent or Representative thereof, has engaged in any activity prohibited under U.S. federal or state criminal or civil health care Laws (including without limitation the U.S. federal Anti-Kickback Statute, ▇▇▇▇▇ Law, False Claims Act, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, and any comparable state Laws), or the regulations promulgated pursuant to such Laws (each, a “Health Care Law”). There is no civil, criminal, administrative or other proceeding, notice or demand pending, received or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that relates to an alleged violation of any Health Care Law. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, employee, agent or Representative thereof, has been convicted of any crime or engaged in any conduct for which debarment is mandated by 21 U.S.C. sec. 335a(a) or any similar Law or authorized by 21 U.S.C. sec. 335a(b) or any similar Law. There are no consent decrees (including plea agreements) or similar actions to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, employee, agent or Representative thereof, are bound or which relate to Company Products.

(d) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is and has been in compliance in all material respects with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, decrees, writs and orders of the FDA and any other Company Regulatory Agency with respect to the labeling, storing, testing, development, manufacture, packaging and distribution of the Company Products. All required pre-clinical toxicology studies conducted by or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries and Company-sponsored clinical trials (or clinical trials sponsored by the Company or any other Subsidiary) conducted or being conducted with respect thereto, have been and are being conducted in compliance in all material respects with applicable licenses and Laws, including, without limitation, the applicable requirements of the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices, Good Laboratory Practices and Good Clinical Practices. The results of any such studies, tests and trials, and all other material information related to such studies, tests and trials, have been made available to Talos. Each clinical trial conducted by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to Company Products has been conducted in accordance with its clinical trial protocol, and in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws, including Good Clinical Practices, Informed Consent and all other applicable

requirements contained in 21 CFR Parts 312, 50, 54, 56 and 11. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has filed all required notices (and made available to Talos copies thereof) of adverse drug experiences, injuries or deaths relating to clinical trials conducted by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to such Company Products.

(e) To the Knowledge of the Company, none of its Representatives, licensors, licensees, assignors or assignees has received any notice that the FDA or any other Company Regulatory Agency has initiated, or threatened to initiate, any Action to suspend any clinical trial, suspend or terminate any Investigational New Drug Application relating to, or otherwise restrict the pre-clinical research or clinical study of, any Company Product or any drug product being developed by any licensee or assignee of the Company Intellectual Property based on such intellectual property, or to recall, suspend or otherwise restrict the development or manufacture of any Company Product. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is in receipt of written notice of, or is subject to, any adverse inspection, finding of deficiency, finding of non-compliance, investigation, civil or criminal proceeding, hearing, suit, demand, claim, complaint, inquiry, proceeding, or other compliance or enforcement action relating to any Company Product.

Talos has delivered or made available to the Company accurate and complete (except for applicable redactions thereto) copies of all material written Talos Contracts, including all amendments thereto. There are no material Talos Contracts that are not in written form. Except as set forth on Section 3.10 of the Talos Disclosure Schedule, neither Talos nor any Subsidiary of Talos has, nor to Talos’ Knowledge, has any other party to a Talos Material Contract (as defined below), breached, violated or defaulted under, or received notice that it has breached, violated or defaulted under, any of the terms or conditions of any of the agreements, contracts or commitments to which Talos or its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound of the type described in clauses (a) through (n) above or any Talos Contract listed in Section 3.14 or Section 3.15 of the Talos Disclosure Schedule (any such agreement, contract or commitment, a “Talos Material Contract”) in such manner as would permit any other party to cancel or terminate any such Talos Material Contract, which has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Talos Material Adverse Effect. As to Talos and its Subsidiaries, as of the date of this Agreement, each Talos Material Contract is valid, binding, enforceable and in full force and effect, subject to: (i) Laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors; and (ii) rules of Law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies. The consummation of the Contemplated Transactions will not (either alone or upon the occurrence of additional acts or events) result in any material payment or payments becoming due from Talos, any Subsidiary of Talos, or the Surviving Corporation to any Person under any Talos Material Contract or give any Person the right to terminate or alter the provisions of any Talos Material Contract. No Person is renegotiating any material amount paid or payable to Talos or any of its Subsidiaries under any Talos Material Contract or any other material term or provision of any Talos Material Contract.

No investigation or review by any Governmental Authority with respect to Talos or any of its Subsidiaries is pending or, to the Knowledge of Talos, threatened, nor has any Governmental Authority indicated an intention to conduct the same which, in each case, would reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse impact on Talos or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) Except as has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Talos Material Adverse Effect, each of Talos and its

Subsidiaries and their respective employees and agents hold all permits, licenses, variances, registrations, exemptions, Orders, consents and approvals from the FDA and any other Governmental Authority that is concerned with the quality, identity, strength, purity, safety, efficacy or manufacturing of Talos Products (any such Governmental Authority, a “Talos Regulatory Agency”) necessary for the lawful operating of the businesses of Talos and each of its Subsidiaries as currently conducted (the “Talos Permits”), including all authorizations required under the FDCA and the regulations of the FDA promulgated thereunder, and the PHSA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is acknowledged that no Talos Product is a marketed product or has received marketing approval (with the exception of Inversine, which was approved in the United States for the management of moderately severe to severe essential hypertension and uncomplicated cases of malignant hypertension) and, therefore, that further permits, licenses, variances, registrations, exemptions, Orders, consents and/or approvals will be required before any Talos Product may be marketed. Except as has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Talos Material Adverse Effect, all such Talos Permits are valid, and in full force and effect. Since January 1, 2013, there has not occurred any violation of, default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under, or event giving to others any right of termination, amendment or cancellation of, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, any Talos Permit except as has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Talos Material Adverse Effect. Each of Talos and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with the terms of all Talos Permits, and no event has occurred that, to the Knowledge of Talos, would reasonably be expected to result in the revocation, cancellation, non-renewal or adverse modification of any Talos Permit, except as has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Talos Material Adverse Effect.

(c) None of Talos or its Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of Talos, any director, officer, employee, agent or Representative thereof, has committed any act, made any statement or failed to make any statement that would reasonably be expected to provide a basis for the FDA or any other Talos Regulatory Agency to invoke its policy with respect to “Fraud, Untrue Statements of Material Facts, Bribery, and Illegal Gratuities,” as set forth in 56 Fed. Reg. 46191 (Sept. 10, 1991) and any amendments thereto. None of Talos or its Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of Talos, any director, officer, employee, agent or Representative thereof, has engaged in any activity prohibited under any Health Care Law. There is no civil, criminal, administrative or other proceeding, notice or demand pending, received or, to the Knowledge of Talos, threatened against Talos or any of its Subsidiaries that relates to an alleged violation of any Health Care Law. None of Talos or any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of Talos, any director, officer, employee, agent or Representative thereof, has been convicted of any crime or engaged in any conduct for which debarment is mandated by 21 U.S.C. sec. 335a(a) or any similar Law or authorized by 21 U.S.C. sec. 335a(b) or any similar Law. There are no consent decrees (including plea agreements) or similar actions to which Talos or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the Knowledge of Talos, any director, officer, employee, agent or Representative thereof, are bound or which relate to Talos Products.

(d) Each of Talos and each of its Subsidiaries is and has been in compliance in all material respects with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, decrees, writs and orders of the FDA and any other Talos Regulatory Agency with respect to the labeling, storing, testing, development, manufacture, packaging and distribution of the Talos Products. All

required pre-clinical toxicology studies conducted by or on behalf of Talos or its Subsidiaries and Talos-sponsored clinical trials (or clinical trials sponsored by Talos or any other Subsidiary) conducted or being conducted with respect thereto, have been and are being conducted in compliance in all material respects with applicable licenses and Laws, including, without limitation, the applicable requirements of the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices, Good Laboratory Practices and Good Clinical Practices. The results of any such studies, tests and trials, and all other material information related to such studies, tests and trials, have been made available to the Company. Each clinical trial conducted by or on behalf of Talos or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to Talos Products has been conducted in accordance with its clinical trial protocol, and in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws, including Good Clinical Practices, Informed Consent and all other applicable requirements contained in 21 CFR Parts 312, 50, 54, 56 and 11. Each of Talos and its Subsidiaries has filed all required notices (and made available to the Company copies thereof) of adverse drug experiences, injuries or deaths relating to clinical trials conducted by or on behalf of Talos or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to such Talos Products.

(e) All applications, submissions, information and data utilized by any Talos or any of its Subsidiaries as the basis for, or submitted by or on behalf of Talos or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any and all requests for a Talos Permit relating to Talos or any of its Subsidiaries, when submitted to the FDA or other Talos Regulatory Agency, were true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the date of submission, and any updates, changes, corrections or modification to such applications, submissions, information and data required under applicable Laws have been submitted to the FDA or other Talos Regulatory Agency.

(f) None of Talos or its Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of Talos, any of the Representatives, licensors, licensees, assignors or assignees thereof has received any notice that the FDA or any other Talos Regulatory Agency has initiated, or threatened to initiate, any Action to suspend any clinical trial, suspend or terminate any Investigational New Drug Application sponsored by Talos or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise restrict the pre-clinical research or clinical study of any Talos Product or any drug product being developed by any licensee or assignee of the Talos Intellectual Property based on such intellectual property, or to recall, suspend or otherwise restrict the development or manufacture of any Talos Product. None of Talos or any of its Subsidiaries is in receipt of written notice of, or is subject to, any adverse inspection, finding of deficiency, finding of non-compliance, investigation, civil or criminal proceeding, hearing, suit, demand, claim, complaint, inquiry, proceeding, or other compliance or enforcement action relating to any Talos Products. To the Knowledge of Talos, there is no act, omission, event or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any such action.

(g) Talos and its Subsidiaries have made available to the Company true, correct and complete copies of any and all applications, approvals, licenses, written notices of inspectional observations, establishment inspection reports and any other documents received from the FDA or other Talos Regulatory Agency, including documents that indicate or suggest lack of compliance with the regulatory requirements of the FDA or other Talos Regulatory Agency.

(c) The unpaid Taxes of Talos and its Subsidiaries (A) did not, as of December 31, 2013, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of Talos’ audited consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 (rather than in any notes thereto) and (B) will not exceed that reserve as adjusted for operations and transactions through the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of Talos and its Subsidiaries in filing their Tax Returns.

To the Knowledge of Talos, no event or omission has occurred which would reasonably be expected to cause any Talos Employee Program to lose its qualification or otherwise fail to satisfy the relevant requirements to provide tax-favored benefits under the applicable Code Section (including without limitation Code Sections 105, 125, 401(a) and 501(c)(9)).

(c) Neither Talos nor any Subsidiary of Talos knows, nor should any of them reasonably know, of any material failure of any party to comply with any Laws applicable with respect to the Employee Programs maintained by Talos or any ERISA Affiliate of Talos.

(f) Except as set forth on Section 3.14(f) of the Talos Disclosure Schedule, neither Talos nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any written (i) agreement with any current or former stockholder, director, employee or consultant of Talos or any of its Subsidiaries (A) the benefits of which are contingent, or the terms of which are materially altered, upon the occurrence of a transaction involving Talos or any of its Subsidiaries of the nature of any of the Contemplated Transactions, (B) providing any guaranteed period of employment or compensation guarantee, or (C) providing severance benefits after the termination of employment or service of such director, employee or consultant; or (ii) agreement or plan binding Talos or any of its Subsidiaries, including any stock option plan, stock appreciation right plan, restricted stock plan, stock purchase plan, or severance benefit plan, any of the benefits of which shall be increased, or the vesting of the benefits of which shall be accelerated, by the occurrence of any of the Contemplated Transactions or the value of any of the benefits of which shall be calculated on the basis of any of the Contemplated Transactions. There is no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement covering any individual that, by itself or collectively, would give rise to any parachute payment subject to Section 280G of the Code, nor has Talos made any such payment, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein shall not obligate Talos or any other entity to make any parachute payment that would be subject to Section 280G of the Code.

(g) Each Talos Employee Program that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code has been operated and maintained in compliance with Section 409A of the Code in all material respects. No stock option granted under any Talos Stock Option Plan has any exercise price that was less than the fair market value of the underlying stock as of the date the option was granted, or has any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the later of exercise or disposition of such option.

(h) For purposes of this Section 3.14:

(i) An entity “maintains” an Employee Program if such entity sponsors, contributes to, or provides benefits under or through such Employee Program, or has any obligation (by agreement or under applicable Laws) to contribute to or provide benefits under or through such Employee Program, or if such Employee Program provides benefits to or otherwise covers employees of such entity (or their spouses, dependents, or beneficiaries).

(ii) An entity is an “ERISA Affiliate” of Talos if it would have ever been considered a single employer with Talos under ERISA Section 4001(b) or part of the same “controlled group” as Talos for purposes of ERISA Section 302(d)(8)(C).

3.15 Labor and Employment Matters.

manner that the offer that was determined to constitute a Company Superior Offer no longer constitutes a Company Superior Offer. During any such five (5) Business Day period, Talos shall be entitled to deliver to the Company one or more counterproposals to such Company Acquisition Proposal.

(v) Nothing in this Section 4.5 shall prohibit the Board of Directors of Company from making any disclosure to the Company Stockholders, if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Company, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, such disclosure would be required to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws.

5.4 Company Stock Options and Company Warrants.

(a) At the Effective Time, (i) each Company Stock Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested, shall be converted into and become an option to purchase Talos Common Stock, and Talos shall assume each such Company Stock Option in accordance with its terms and the Company Stock Option Plans, if applicable, and all rights with respect to Company Common Stock shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to Talos Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (i) each Company Stock Option may be exercised solely for shares of Talos Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of Talos Common Stock subject to each Company Stock Option shall be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company Stock Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Talos Common Stock; (iii) the per share exercise price for the Talos Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Company Stock Option shall be determined by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (iv) any restriction on the exercise of any Company Stock Option shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Company Stock Option shall otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that: (A) to the extent provided under the terms of a Company Stock Option, such Company Stock Option shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to Talos Common Stock subsequent to the Effective Time; and (B) Talos’ Board of Directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of Company’s Board of Directors or any committee thereof with respect to each Company Stock assumed by Talos. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4(a), the conversion of each Company Stock Option (regardless of whether such option qualifies as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) into an option to purchase shares of Talos Common Stock shall be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1, such that the conversion of a Company Stock Option shall not constitute a “modification” of such Company Stock Option for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code.

(b) At the Effective Time, each Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested, shall be converted into and become a warrant to purchase Talos Common Stock, and Talos shall assume each such Company Warrant in accordance with its terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement). All rights with respect to Company Common Stock under Company Warrants assumed by Talos shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to Talos Common Stock.

Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (i) each Company Warrant assumed by Talos may be exercised solely for shares of Talos Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of Talos Common Stock subject to each Company Warrant assumed by Talos shall be determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Talos Common Stock; (iii) the per share exercise price for the Talos Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Company Warrant assumed by Talos shall be determined by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (B) the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (iv) any restriction on the exercise of any Company Warrant assumed by Talos shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Company Warrant shall otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that to the extent provided under the terms of a Company Warrant, such Company Warrant assumed by Talos in accordance with this Section 5.4(b) shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to Talos Common Stock subsequent to the Effective Time.

(c) Talos shall file with the SEC, promptly following the Effective Time, a registration statement on Form S-8, if available, for use by Talos, relating to the shares of Talos Common Stock issuable with respect to Company Stock Options issued under the Company Stock Option Plans assumed by Talos in accordance with Section 5.4(a).

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions that may be necessary (under the Company Stock Option Plan, the Company Warrants and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 5.4 and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, holders of Company Stock Options and Company Warrants have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 5.4.

(a) Talos and Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification, exculpation or advancement of expenses now existing in favor of, and all limitations on the personal liability of each present and former director or officer, of Talos or the Company and their respective Subsidiaries (the “D&O Parties”) provided for in the respective organizational documents in effect as of the date hereof, shall continue to be honored and in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any proceeding or claims pending, asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such proceeding or claim. The certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation from liability and advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as those currently in the Talos Charter and Talos Bylaws and the Company Charter and Company Bylaws, as applicable, and during such six (6) year period following the Effective Time, Talos shall not and shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the

rights thereunder of any D&O Party in respect of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, unless such modification is required by applicable Laws. Prior to the Closing, each of the Company and Talos shall purchase a six-year “tail” policy under its own existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, with an effective date as of the Closing (provided that either such party may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are not less favorable in any material respect); provided, however, that in no event shall either such party be required to expend pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) more than an amount equal to 200% of the respective current annual premiums paid by such party for such insurance; provided, further, that during the term of the respective “tail” policies, neither Talos nor the Surviving Corporation shall take any action following the Closing to cause their respective “tail” policies to be cancelled or any provision therein to be amended or waived in any manner that would adversely affect in any material respect the rights of their former and current officers and directors.

(b) The provisions of this Section 5.5 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Persons indemnified hereby, and his or her heirs and Representatives, and may not be amended, modified, altered or repealed after the Effective Time without the written consent of any such Person affected by such amendment, modification alteration or repeal. The provisions in this Section 5.5 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the D&O Parties by Laws, charters, bylaws or agreements.

(c) If Talos or the Surviving Corporation or any of the successors or assigns of Talos or the Surviving Corporation (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Talos or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations and cause the relevant insurance benefits to be provided to the D&O Parties as set forth in this Section 5.5. The agreements and covenants contained herein shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any D&O Party is entitled, whether pursuant to applicable Laws, contract or otherwise.

Talos shall comply with all Tax withholding and reporting requirements as provided by any applicable Tax Law with respect to payments of the Pre-Closing Dividend and with respect to the adjustment of the number of shares of Talos Common Stock underlying each outstanding Talos Stock Option and the exercise price thereof to take into account the Pre-Closing Dividend provided for in Section 5.17.

5.18 Determination of Talos Cash Balance.

(a) Not less than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the anticipated date for Closing (the “Anticipated Closing Date”), Talos will deliver to the Company a statement setting forth, in reasonable detail, Talos’s calculation of the Talos Cash Balance (the “Talos Net Cash Calculation” and the date of delivery of such schedule, the “Talos Cash Determination Date”), it being agreed that the Talos Net Cash Calculation shall take into account liabilities reasonably anticipated to be incurred by Talos prior to and as of the Closing. Within two (2) Business Days following the Talos Cash Determination Date, Talos will deliver to Company a certificate (the “Talos Net Cash Certificate”) as to the amount of the Talos Net Cash Calculation as of such Talos Cash Determination Date prepared by Talos and executed by the chief executive officer of Talos. Talos will make the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Talos Net Cash Calculation and the Talos Net Cash Certificate, and the personnel of Talos that participated in preparing the Talos Net Cash Calculation and the Talos Net Cash Certificate, available to the Company and, if requested by the Company, its accountants and counsel at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice.

(b) Within three (3) calendar days after Talos delivers either (or each) of the Talos Net Cash Calculation or the Talos Net Cash Certificate (a “Talos Cash Response Date”), the Company will have the right to dispute any part of the Talos Net Cash Calculation or the Talos Net Cash Certificate by delivering a written notice to that effect to Talos (a “Talos Cash Dispute Notice”).

(c) If on or prior to any Talos Cash Response Date, (i) the Company notifies Talos in writing that it has no objections to the Talos Net Cash Calculation or the Talos Net Cash Certificate, as applicable, or (ii) the Company fails to deliver a Talos Cash Dispute Notice as provided in Section 5.18(b), then the Talos Net Cash Calculation as set forth in the Talos Net Cash Certificate will be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Talos Cash Balance at the Talos Cash Determination Date for purposes of this Agreement, and Talos will not be required to determine the Talos Cash Balance again provided that the Closing Date occurs no later than five (5) Business Days after the Anticipated Closing Date unless additional material liabilities have accrued between the Anticipated Closing Date and the Closing Date, in which case Talos will be required to determine the Talos Cash Balance again prior to the Closing Date taking into account such additional material liabilities.

(d) If the Company delivers a Talos Cash Dispute Notice on or prior to the applicable Talos Cash Response Date, then Representatives of Talos and the Company will promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of the Talos Cash Balance, which agreed upon amount will be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Talos Cash Balance at the Talos Cash Determination Date for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) If Representatives of Talos and the Company are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of the Talos Cash Balance at the Talos Cash Determination Date pursuant to Section 5.18(d) within three (3) calendar days after delivery of the Talos Cash Dispute Notice (or such other period as Talos and Company may mutually agree upon), then an independent auditor of recognized national standing as may be agreed by Talos and the Company (the “Reviewing Accounting Firm”) will be engaged to resolve any remaining disagreements as to the Talos Net Cash Calculation. Talos will promptly deliver to the Reviewing Accounting Firm the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Talos Net Cash Calculation or the Talos Net Cash Certificate and Talos and the Company will use their best efforts to cause the Reviewing Accounting Firm to make its determination within ten (10) calendar days of accepting its selection. The Company and Talos will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Reviewing Accounting Firm any material related to the unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Reviewing Accounting Firm; provided, however, that no such presentation or discussion will occur without the presence of a Representative of each of the Company and Talos. The determination of the Reviewing Accounting Firm will be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Reviewing Accounting Firm. The determination of the amount of the Talos Cash Balance made by the Reviewing Accounting Firm will be in writing delivered to Talos and the Company, will be final and binding on the Company and Talos and will be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Talos Cash Balance at the Talos Cash Determination Date for purposes of this Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Reviewing Accounting Firm will be allocated between Talos and the Company in the same proportion that the disputed amount of Talos Cash Balance that was unsuccessfully disputed by such Party (as finally determined by the Reviewing Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of the Talos Cash Balance amount. If this Section 5.18(e) applies as to the determination of the Talos Cash Balance at the Talos Cash Determination Date, upon resolution of the matter in accordance with this Section 5.18(e), the Parties will not be required to determine the Talos Cash Balance again even though the Closing Date may occur later than the Anticipated Closing Date; provided, however, that if the Closing Date is more than fifteen (15) Business Days after the Anticipated Closing Date, the Reviewing Accounting Firm shall be instructed to make such reasonable adjustments as required to reflect any such delay.

Within two (2) Business Days following the Company Cash Determination Date, the Company will deliver to Talos a certificate (the “Company Net Cash Certificate”) as to the amount of the Company Net Cash Calculation as of such Company Cash Determination Date prepared by the Company and executed by the chief executive officer of the Company. The Company will make the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Company Net Cash Calculation and the Company Net Cash Certificate, and the personnel of the Company that participated in preparing the Company Net Cash Calculation and the Company Net Cash Certificate, available to Talos and, if requested by Talos, its accountants and counsel at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice.

(b) Within three (3) calendar days after the Company delivers either (or each) of the Company Net Cash Calculation or the Company Net Cash Certificate (a “Company Cash Response Date”), Talos will have the right to dispute any part of the Company Net Cash Calculation or the Company Net Cash Certificate by delivering a written notice to that effect to the Company (a “Company Cash Dispute Notice”).

(c) If on or prior to any Company Cash Response Date, (i) Talos notifies the Company in writing that it has no objections to the Company Net Cash Calculation or the Company Net Cash Certificate, as applicable, or (ii) Talos fails to deliver a Company Cash Dispute Notice as provided in Section 5.19(b), then the Company Net Cash Calculation as set forth in the Company Net Cash Certificate will be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Company Cash Balance at the Company Cash Determination Date for purposes of this Agreement, and the Company will not be required to determine the Company Cash Balance again provided that the Closing Date occurs no later than five (5) Business Days after the Anticipated Closing Date unless additional material liabilities have accrued between the Anticipated Closing Date and the Closing Date, in which case the Company will be required to determine the Company Cash Balance again prior to the Closing Date taking into account such additional material liabilities.

(d) If Talos delivers a Company Cash Dispute Notice on or prior to the applicable Company Cash Response Date, then Representatives of the Company and Talos will promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of the Company Cash Balance, which agreed upon amount will be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Company Cash Balance at the Company Cash Determination Date for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) If Representatives of the Company and Talos are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of the Company Cash Balance at the Company Cash Determination Date pursuant to Section 5.19(d) within three (3) calendar days after delivery of the Company Cash Dispute Notice (or such other period as the Company and Talos may mutually agree upon), then the Reviewing Accounting Firm will be engaged to resolve any remaining disagreements as to the Company Net Cash Calculation. The Company will promptly deliver to the Reviewing Accounting Firm the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Company Net Cash Calculation or the Company Net Cash Certificate and the Company and Talos will use their best efforts to cause the Reviewing Accounting Firm to make its determination within ten (10) calendar days of accepting its selection.

The determination of the Reviewing Accounting Firm will be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Reviewing Accounting Firm. The determination of the amount of the Company Cash Balance made by the Reviewing Accounting Firm will be in writing delivered to the Company and Talos, will be final and binding on Talos and the Company and will be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Company Cash Balance at the Company Cash

Determination Date for purposes of this Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Reviewing Accounting Firm will be allocated between the Company and Talos in the same proportion that the disputed amount of Company Cash Balance that was unsuccessfully disputed by such Party (as finally determined by the Reviewing Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of the Company Cash Balance amount. If this Section 5.19(e) applies as to the determination of the Company Cash Balance at the Company Cash Determination Date, upon resolution of the matter in accordance with this Section 5.19(e), the Parties will not be required to determine the Company Cash Balance again even though the Closing Date may occur later than the Anticipated Closing Date; provided, however, that if the Closing Date is more than fifteen (15) Business Days after the Anticipated Closing Date, the Reviewing Accounting Firm shall be instructed to make such reasonable adjustments as required to reflect any such delay.

In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
