“Holders” means the Investor, Invus C.V., Invus Public Equities, L.P., Artal International S.C.A,, any Assigned Transferee and any affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons.

Section 3. Consent to Further Amendments; Further Assurances

Section 4. Ratification and Confirmation

The Transaction Agreements, as hereby amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. This Supplement shall be interpreted and construed together with, and as a part of, each of

the Transaction Agreements, as applicable. Any reference in any other document to any of the Transaction Agreements shall be deemed to refer to the applicable Transaction Agreement, as modified by this Supplement. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Supplement shall not constitute a modification or waiver of any provision of the Transaction Agreements except as expressly provided herein.

Section 5. Governing Law

This Supplement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Supplement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any New York state or federal court, in each case sitting in the Borough of Manhattan. The parties hereto hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court, in each case sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Supplement brought by any party hereto, and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Supplement may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.

Section 6. Counterparts

This Supplement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.
