In connection with the IPO, Aisling entered into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-up Agreement”), with RBC Capital Markets, LLC and William Blair & Company, L.L.C., as representatives of the underwriters, and agreed, subject to certain exceptions, that (i) for a period of 180 days from the date of the IPO, in relation to the 838,498 shares of Common Stock held by it at the time of the IPO, and (ii) for a period of 90 days from the date of the IPO, in relation to the 1,333,333 shares of Common Stock purchased in the IPO, it will not directly or indirectly, sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell (including without limitation any short sale), grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, pledge, transfer, establish an open “put equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the Act, lend or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock, options, rights or warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock, or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock currently owned either of record or beneficially (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) by Aisling, including, without limitation, entering into any swap or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequences of the ownership of Common Stock or publicly announce an intention to do any of the

SCHEDULE 13D

foregoing during the relevant period indicated in (i) or (ii), as applicable, except with the prior written consent of the representatives of the underwriters. Such restrictions do not apply, subject to certain conditions, to transactions relating to (i) transfers of Common Stock as a bona fide gift, by will or intestacy, (ii) distributions to limited partners, members or stockholders of Aisling or to Aisling’s affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by Aisling, (iii) transfers of Common Stock to a charity or educational institution, (iv) transfers pursuant to an order of a court or regulatory agency or (v) transfer pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer for securities of the Issuer that would, if consummated, result in not less than a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Issuer being disposed in such transaction or pursuant to any other transaction, including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation or other business combination, resulting in not less than a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Issuer being disposed in such transaction.
 
The foregoing description of the Lock-up Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the Lock-up Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Pursuant to the Fifth Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), dated as of July 18, 2012, by and among the Issuer and the parties listed therein, as modified by the Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 5, 2014, by and among the Issuer and the parties listed therein including Aisling (the “Holders”), Aisling is entitled to require the Issuer to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), any shares of Common Stock held by it which were acquired pursuant to the Conversion and any shares of Common Stock purchased by it (the “Registrable Securities”). Subject to limitations specified in the Registration Rights Agreement, these registration rights include: two demand registration rights that the Holders may exercise no sooner than 180 days after the IPO if a certain percentage of the Holders request registration of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate offering price of $10 million, subject to the discretion of the Issuer’s board of directors to delay the registration in specified circumstance; an unlimited number of piggyback registration rights that will require the Issuer to register the Holders’ shares of Common Stock whenever the Issuer registers Common Stock (with certain limited exceptions), subject to the discretion of the managing underwriter of the offering to decrease the amount that Holders may register; and an unlimited number of rights (up to two per twelve-month period) to require the Issuer to register sales of
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
CUSIP No. 00847L100

Common Stock on Form S-3, which the Holders may exercise if a certain percentage of Holders request registration in connection with an aggregate offering of at least $5 million, following the time that the Issuer first qualifies for the use of this form of registration with the SEC, subject to the discretion of the Issuer’s board of directors to delay the registration in specified circumstances. The Issuer will bear all registration expenses if these registration rights are exercised, other than underwriting discounts and commissions. These registration rights will terminate as to the Reporting Person’s Registrable Securities when (i) a registration statement covering such Registrable Security has been declared effective by the SEC and such Registrable Securities have been disposed of pursuant to such effective registration statement or (ii) (x) such Registrable Securities have been sold through a broker, dealer or market maker in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar rule then in force), (y) such Registrable Securities have become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1) under the Securities Act or (z) any certificate evidencing such Registrable Securities to be transferred need not bear a restrictive legend.
 
The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
From time to time, each of the Reporting Persons may lend portfolio securities to brokers, banks or other financial institutions. These loans typically obligate the borrower to return the securities, or an equal amount of securities of the same class, to the lender and typically provide that the borrower is entitled to exercise voting rights and to retain dividends during the term of the loan. From time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, each of the Reporting Persons may borrow securities, including the Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting, and may effect, short sale transactions, and may purchase securities for the purpose of closing out short positions in such securities.
 
On May 30, 2014, each of the Reporting Persons entered into an agreement (the “Joint Filing Agreement”) in which the parties agreed to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D with respect to the securities of the Issuer to the extent required by applicable law. The Joint Filing Agreement is attached as Exhibit 3 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company proposes to carry out a public offering of Common Stock (the “Offering”) for which you will act as the representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”) of the several underwriters named in Schedule I to the underwriting agreement (the “Underwriters”) to be entered into between the Underwriters and the Company with respect to the Offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”). The undersigned recognizes that the Offering will be of benefit to the undersigned and will benefit the Company by, among other things, raising additional capital for its operations.  The undersigned acknowledges that you and the other Underwriters are relying on the representations and agreements of the undersigned contained in this letter in carrying out the Offering and in entering into the Underwriting Agreement.
 
In consideration of the foregoing, the undersigned hereby agrees that the undersigned will not, (and will cause any spouse or immediate family member of the spouse or the undersigned living in the undersigned’s household not to), without the prior written consent of the Representatives (which consent may be withheld in their sole discretion), directly or indirectly, sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell (including without limitation any short sale), grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, pledge, transfer, establish an open “put equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-l(h) under the Securities Exchange

Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), lend or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock, options, rights or warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock, or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock currently or hereafter owned either of record or beneficially (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by the undersigned (or such spouse or family member) (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”), including, without limitation, entering into any swap or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequences of the ownership of Common Stock or publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing, for a period commencing on the date hereof and continuing through the close of trading on the date 180 days after the date of the final prospectus relating to the Offering (the “Initial Restricted Period”). In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives (which consent may be withheld in their sole discretion), it will not, during the Initial Restricted Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Lock-Up Securities, except if such demand or exercise of registration rights does not require or permit any public filing or other public disclosure to be made in connection therewith prior to the expiration of the Initial Restricted Period. For the avoidance of doubt, the undersigned agrees that the foregoing provisions shall be equally applicable to any shares the undersigned may purchase in the Offering, provided that the Initial Restricted Period with respect to such Lock-Up Securities purchased in the Offering shall expire on the date 90 days after the date of the final prospectus relating to the Offering.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer Lock-Up Securities without the prior written consent of the Representatives in connection with (a) transactions relating to Lock-Up Securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Offering; provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Lock-Up Securities acquired in such open market transactions; (b) transfers of Lock-Up Securities as a bona fide gift, by will or intestacy or to a family member or trust, partnership, limited liability company or other entity for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or a family member (for purposes of this agreement, “family member” means any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin); (c) transfers of Lock-Up Securities to a charity or educational institution; (d) if the undersigned, directly or indirectly, controls a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, any transfers of Lock-Up Securities to any shareholder, partner or member of, or owner of similar equity interests in, the undersigned, as the case may be; (e) to the undersigned’s affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned; (f) transfers of Lock-Up Securities to the Company for the purpose of satisfying tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of equity incentive awards granted under a stock incentive plan or stock purchase plan of the Company existing as of the date hereof and described in the Prospectus; (g) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (a) through (f) above; or (h) pursuant to an order of a court or regulatory agency, provided that the transferee shall sign and deliver to the Representatives a lock up agreement substantially in the form of this agreement; provided further that, in the case of any transfer pursuant to the foregoing

clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g), (i) any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (ii) each transferee shall sign and deliver to the Representatives a lock up agreement substantially in the form of this agreement and (iii) no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made. Furthermore, the restrictions contained herein shall not apply to any transfers, sales, tenders or other dispositions of any of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock occurring after the consummation of the Offering, pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer for securities of the Company that would, if consummated, result in not less than a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company being disposed in such transaction or pursuant to any other transaction, including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation or other business combination, resulting in not less than a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company being disposed in such transaction (including, without limitation, entering into any lock-up, voting or similar agreement pursuant to which the undersigned may agree to transfer, sell, tender or otherwise dispose of any of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock in connection with any such transaction or to vote any of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock in favor of any such transaction); provided that, if such tender offer or other transaction is not completed, any of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock subject to this agreement shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this agreement.
 
If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company and if the Representatives determine in their sole discretion to consent to a requested release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of Common Stock, (i) as required by FINRA, the Representatives intend to notify the Company of the impending release or waiver at least three business days before the effective date of such release or waiver, and (ii) the Company (in accordance with the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement) will announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by the Representatives hereunder to any such officer or director shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if both (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this letter agreement that are applicable to the transferor to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.
 
The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of Common Stock held by the undersigned except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions, and any duly appointed transfer agent and registrar for the registration or transfer of the Common Stock described herein is hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of such Common Stock if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this agreement.
 
No provision in this agreement shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the exercise, exchange or conversion by the undersigned of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock, as applicable; provided that (i) no filing under

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock shall be required or shall be voluntarily made and (ii) the undersigned does not transfer the shares of Common Stock acquired on such exercise, exchange or conversion during the Initial Restricted Period, unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of this agreement. In addition, no provision herein shall be deemed to restrict or prohibit the entry into or modification of a so-called “10b5-1” plan at any time (other than the entry into or modification of such a plan in such a manner as to cause the sale of any Lock-Up Securities within the Initial Restricted Period); provided that the entry into or modification of such plan is not publicly disclosed, including without limitation, in any filing under the Exchange Act, during the Initial Restricted Period.
 
With respect to the Offering only, the undersigned waives any registration rights relating to registration under the Securities Act of any Common Stock owned either of record or beneficially by the undersigned, including any rights to receive notice of the Offering.
 
In the event that the Representatives consent to a release relating to a prohibition on transfer under a lock-up agreement entered into in connection with the Offering by IGC Fund VI, L.P., Investor Growth Capital Limited, Investor Group, L.P., Aisling Capital II, LP, Care Capital Investments III LP, Care Capital Offshore Investments III LP, Proquest Investments III, L.P., Proquest Investments IV, L.P., Kaiser Permanente Ventures, LLC - Series A, Kaiser Permanente Ventures, LLC - Series B, The Permanente Federation LLC - Series J, or Novitas Capital II, L.P. (f/k/a PA Early Stage Partners, II, L.P.) (each a “Key Investor”), the same percentage of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock held by the undersigned (the “Pro-Rata Release”) as the percentage of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock held by such Key Investor that are the subject of such release shall be immediately and fully released on the same terms from any remaining prohibition on transfer set forth herein. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply: (1) if the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not involving a disposition for value or (2) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this lock-up letter to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer. Prior to the expiration of the Initial Restricted Period, in the event that, as a result of this paragraph, the undersigned becomes entitled to offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of any Common Stock (or any securities convertible into Common Stock), the Representatives shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notification of such to the undersigned within two business days thereof. The failure to give any such notice to the Company or the undersigned shall not give rise to any claim or liability against the Company or the Underwriters, including the Representatives.
 
The undersigned understands that, (i) if the Underwriting Agreement is not executed by September 30, 2014, (ii) if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to the initial closing date of the shares of Common Stock to be sold thereunder, (iii) the registration statement relating to the Offering is withdrawn by the Company, (iv) the Company notifies the Representatives that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering, or (v) prior to the consummation of the

Offering, the undersigned has transferred shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock upon the completion of a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Company’s securities involving a change of control of the Company, then the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this agreement and this agreement shall be void and of no further force or effect.
