Ipsen is acquiring the Shares for its own account for investment only and with no present intention of distributing any of such Shares or any arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the distribution of such Shares within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Ipsen is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Ipsen understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state securities laws in reliance on specific exemptions therefrom, which exemptions may depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ investment intent as expressed herein.

4.3 Authorization; Due Execution, Delivery and Performance of this Agreement. Each of Ipsen and Suraypharm has full legal right, corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform the transactions contemplated hereunder. This Agreement upon delivery will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by Ipsen and Suraypharm. The making, issuing and performance of this Agreement by Ipsen and Suraypharm, and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not: (i) violate any provision of the organizational documents of either Ipsen or Suraypharm, (ii) violate any statute or any authorization, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation of any court or any regulatory body, administrative agency or other Governmental Entity applicable to Ipsen or Suraypharm, or (iii) violate any material contract, agreement, or instrument to which Ipsen is a party or by which it is bound, that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body is required for the execution and delivery by either Ipsen or Suraypharm of this Agreement or the consummation by either Ipsen or Suraypharm of the transactions contemplated hereby, other than such as have been made or obtained. Upon its execution and delivery, and assuming the valid execution thereof by Tercica, this Agreement will constitute the valid and binding obligations of each of Ipsen and Suraypharm enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

4.4 No Legal or Tax Advice. Ipsen understands that nothing in this Agreement, the Tercica SEC Reports or any other materials presented to Ipsen in connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares constitutes legal or tax advice. Ipsen has consulted such legal and tax advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Shares. Ipsen understands that it (and not Tercica) shall be responsible for its own tax liabilities that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.5 No Defaults. Neither Ipsen nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation or default of any provision of its organizational documents or any agreement, judgment, decree, order, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, franchise, license, indenture, permit or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound, and has not received any written notice of termination under any such material documents, and there does not exist any state of fact which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an event of default on the part of Ipsen or any of its Subsidiaries as defined in such documents, in each case which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

4.6 Compliance. Ipsen and each of its Subsidiaries have complied in all material respects with each Law binding on it or on any of its assets or properties and is not currently in violation of any such Law, and there have been no written notices or orders of noncompliance issued to Ipsen or its Subsidiaries under or in respect of any such Law, in each case the noncompliance with which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

4.7 Litigation. Neither Ipsen nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice of the assertion of, or to the knowledge of Ipsen, been threatened with any action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration or investigation before any Governmental Entity against Ipsen or any of its Subsidiaries or order of any Governmental Entity binding on Ipsen, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets or properties, in the case of all the foregoing, which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

4.8 Restrictive Legend. Ipsen understands that, until such time as a registration statement covering the Shares has been declared effective or the Common Stock associated with such Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Shares shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for the Shares):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.”
