the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019.
BACKGROUND
3. On December 29, 2015 (the “Petition Date”), the Debtor filed a voluntary petition
for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (as amended, the “Bankruptcy
Code”). The Debtor continues to operate its business as debtor in possession pursuant to sections

Agreement, Lonza AG undertook certain Stage 59 and 60 services, including production of one

Lonza AG maintains that it completed and tendered delivery of the KB004 Stage 60 Product and
related documentation prior to the Petition Date. The Debtor takes no position on whether such
services were completed, and delivery of the KB004 Stage 60 Product occurred, prior to the
Petition Date.
6. Lonza currently has possession, custody and control of the KB004 Stage 60
Product.
7. By an invoice, dated September 25, 2015, Lonza invoiced the Debtor £26,400 for
certain obligations incurred under the KB001-A Agreement (the “KB001-A Invoice”). From
September 2015 to December 2015, Lonza issued several invoices to the Debtor for obligations
incurred under the KB004 Agreement, totaling £814,028.62.
8. Prior to the Petition Date, BioWa and the Debtor entered into that certain Non-
Exclusive License Agreement, effective as of September 2, 2008 (as amended, the “BioWa 2008
License”), whereby BioWa granted to the Debtor a license for the use of certain technology
owned or controlled by BioWa known as the Potelligent® Technology in the development of the
Debtor’s products. The BioWa 2008 License was subsequently terminated by agreement of
BioWa and the Debtor.

Research License Fee in the amount of $100,000.00, which has become due and payable
pursuant to Section 6.2.1 of the BioWa/Lonza License.
12. Lonza asserts that the Debtor has failed to pay it the annual Lonza Research

an Order (I) Establishing Bar Dates for Filing Proofs of Claim, (II) Approving the Form and
Manner of Notice Thereof and (III) Granting Related Relief (D.I. 186) (the “Bar Date Order”),
which, among other things, established April 1, 2016,3 as the general bar date (the “General Bar

Debtor to execute and enter into a letter of intent with Savant Neglected Diseases, LLC
(“Savant”), for the acquisition of the worldwide rights to Savant’s benznidazole program for the
treatment of Chagas disease (the “Savant Transaction”), and on February 29, 2016, the Debtor
and Savant executed the Letter of Intent.
18. Closing the Savant Transaction is subject to, among other things, (i) obtaining
financing in an amount adequate to permit the Debtor to exit chapter 11 with at least $10 million
in unencumbered cash and (ii) exiting chapter 11 by June 30, 2016.

The DIP Financing and Exit Financing
19. On March 23, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (D.I. 293) approving,
among other things, the Debtor’s entry into that certain amended letter of intent and annexed
amended term sheet, each dated March 18, 2016 (collectively, the “Stalking Horse LOI”), by and
between the Debtor and Cheval Holdings, Ltd., Black Horse Capital LP, Black Horse Capital
Master Fund Ltd., and Nomis Bay LTD (collectively, the “Stalking Horse Entities”).
20. The Stalking Horse LOI provides for a debtor-in-possession financing facility of
$3 million (the “DIP Facility”) and an exit facility of $11 million (the “Exit Facility”) to
facilitate consummation of the Savant Transaction as well as consummation of the Plan. The
Exit Facility of $11 million is conditioned upon, among other things, closing of the Savant
Transaction and exiting chapter 11 before the end of June 2016.
21. On April 8, 2016, the Debtor filed a motion to approve the DIP Facility (D.I. 324)
(the “DIP Motion”). The Court entered an order approving the DIP Motion on April 29, 2016
(D.I. 388). The Funding Date for the DIP Facility occurred on May 16, 2016, and the Debtor has
now received the proceeds of the DIP Facility.
The Plan and Disclosure Statement
22. On May 9, 2016, the Court entered an order (D.I. 420), approving the Disclosure
Statement with Respect to the Second Amended Plan of Reorganization of KaloBios
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (D.I. 435) (as may be
amended, modified or supplemented, the “Disclosure Statement”) as containing adequate
information under section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code and authorizing the Debtor to solicit
votes with regard to the acceptance or rejection of the Debtor’s Second Amended Plan of
Reorganization (D.I. 434) (as may be amended, modified or supplemented, the “Plan”).
Case 15-12628-LSS Doc 461 Filed 05/16/16 Page 6 of 21

23. The Plan provides, among other things, for the Holders4 of Allowed Class 2
Claims to receive in full and final satisfaction and discharge of such Allowed General Unsecured
Claim, value equal to 100% of the Allowed amount of such Claim in the form of: (i) Cash equal
to 50% of the Allowed amount of such Allowed General Unsecured Claim plus (ii) a Company
Note in an original principal amount equal to the 50% of the Allowed amount of such Allowed
General Unsecured Claim (together, the “Class 2 Treatment”).
24. The hearing on the Debtor’s request for confirmation of the Plan is scheduled to
occur on June 14-15, 2016.
The Debtor’s Go Forward Business Plan
25. As discussed more fully in the Disclosure Statement. After emergence from
bankruptcy, KaloBios intends to focus on three compounds that are currently in various stages of
development: (1) benznidazole, the rights to which it is acquiring through the Savant transaction,
(2) KB003 (also known as lenzilumab) and (3) KB004. The development focus of KaloBios is
on neglected diseases with a particular focus on pediatric populations, which will allow for
potential eligibility for “Priority Review Vouchers” (“PRV”) that entitle the holder to a priority
review of a human drug application of the voucher holder’s choice.
26. KB004 is a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds specifically to EphA3, which
is an onco-fetal protein that has been shown to be present on the surface of many types of cancer
cells. KB004 targets hematologic malignancies, which are tumors affecting blood, bone marrow
and the lymphatic system, as well as tumors affecting solid organs. It has been tested in a Phase
I/II trial in certain types of blood cancers (Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (“AML”),
Myelofibrosis and Myelodysplastic Syndrome).
4 Capitalized terms used in paragraph 23 but not defined therein are defined in the Plan.
Case 15-12628-LSS Doc 461 Filed 05/16/16 Page 7 of 21

27. KaloBios was conducting a Phase I/II study of KB004 in hematologic tumors, but
wound down Phase II due to its restructuring efforts and the filing of the Chapter 11 Case. Phase
I of the KB004 study, however, was completed, and the data presented at the 2014 American
Society of Hematology Annual Meeting showed that KB004 is well tolerated and has promising
clinical activity. As a result of the Phase I study, an acute myeloid leukemia patient experienced
a complete response with incomplete platelet recovery with a “complete response” in a clinical
trial being “associated with less infection, bleeding and blood product support.” Two other
patients demonstrated clinical improvements, defined by international guidelines as
“improvement in survival, improvement in a patient’s quality of life, improved physical
functioning, or improved tumor-related symptoms.”
28. As discussed in more detail in the Disclosure Statement, the Debtor is evaluating
a partnership with a prominent research institute in Australia to perform an Investigator-
Sponsored Trial (“IST”) of KB004 in patients with Glioblastoma Multiforme, a very aggressive
brain tumor. The Debtor understands that the researcher has secured a grant of funding from the
Australian government for this IST. For the IST to proceed, the Debtor will need access to the
supply of KB004 Stage 60 Product currently in the possession, custody and control of Lonza.
29. The Assumed Agreements (as defined below) all relate to the KB004
development program. Pursuant to the Assumed Agreements, the Debtor has obtained and may
in the future obtain, among other things, goods services and the use of technology essential to the
continued progression of the KB004 program.

RELIEF REQUESTED
31. By this Motion, the Debtor requests that the Court enter the Proposed Order
approving the Stipulation pursuant to section 105(a), 363 and 502 of the Bankruptcy Code and
Bankruptcy Rule 9019.
BASIS FOR RELIEF
A. The Settlements Contained In The Stipulation Should Be Approved Under 11 U.S.C. §§ 105(a) & 363(b) And Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9019.
32. Bankruptcy Rule 9019 governs approval of settlements by a debtor and provides
that, “on motion by the trustee and after notice and a hearing, the court may approve a
compromise or settlement.” Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9019. In addition, section 105(a) of the
Case 15-12628-LSS Doc 461 Filed 05/16/16 Page 13 of 21
14
Bankruptcy Code provides that the “court may issue any order, process or judgment that is
necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of this title.” 11 U.S.C. § 105(a).
33. The starting point in analyzing any proposed settlement is the general policy of
encouraging settlements and favoring compromises. See Myers v. Martin (In re Martin), 91 F.3d
389, 393 (3d Cir. 1996) (“Compromises are favored in bankruptcy.”); In re World Health
Alternatives, Inc., 344 B.R. 291, 296 (Bankr. D. Del. 2006) (finding settlements “generally
favored in bankruptcy”). The Third Circuit has recognized that “[i]n administering
reorganization proceedings in an economical and practical manner it will often be wise to
arrange the settlement of claims as to which there are substantial and reasonable doubts.” In re
Penn Cent. Transp. Co., 596 F.2d 1102, 1113 (3d Cir. 1979) (internal quotation marks omitted)
(quoting Protective Comm. for Indep. S’holders of TMT Trailer Ferry, Inc. v. Anderson, 390
U.S. 414, 424 (1968)).
34. To approve a settlement, a bankruptcy court must determine that such settlement
is in the best interest of a debtor’s estate. Law Debenture Trust Co. of New York v. Kaiser
Aluminum Corp. (In re Kaiser Aluminum Corp.), 339 B.R. 91, 95–96 (D. Del. 2006). In
addition, a court must:
assess and balance the value of the claim that is being compromised against the value to the estate of the acceptance of the compromise proposal in light of four factors: (1) the probability of success in the litigation, (2) the likely difficulties in collection, (3) the complexity of the litigation involved, and the expense, inconvenience and delay necessarily attending it, and (4) the paramount interests of the creditors.
Id. at 96 (quoting Martin, 91 F.3d at 393). The court’s ultimate inquiry is whether a settlement is
fair, reasonable, and in the best interest of a debtor’s estate. In re Marvel Entm’t Grp., Inc., 222
B.R. 243, 249 (D. Del. 1998) (quoting In re Louise’s, Inc., 211 B.R. 798, 801 (D. Del. 1997)).
Case 15-12628-LSS Doc 461 Filed 05/16/16 Page 14 of 21

35. The decision whether to approve a proposed compromise and settlement is
committed to the sound discretion of the bankruptcy court. See, e.g., In re Coram Healthcare
Corp., 315 B.R. 321, 329 (Bankr. D. Del. 2004). A court need not decide the numerous issues of
law and fact raised by the settlement and it need not be convinced that the proposed settlement is
the best possible, rather “[t]he court need only conclude that the settlement falls within the
reasonable range of litigation possibilities somewhere above the lowest point in the range of
reasonableness.” In re Nutritional Sourcing Corp., 398 B.R. 816, 833 (Bankr. D. Del. 2008)
(quoting In re Coram Healthcare Corp., 315 B.R. 321, 330 (Bankr. D. Del. 2004)).
36. In the Debtor’s business judgment, the compromises and transactions embodied in
the Stipulation: (i) are fair and equitable; (ii) represent a settlement of potential disputes and
claims under the Lonza Agreements and the BioWa Agreements that is well within the
reasonable range of potential litigation outcomes; (iii) ensure that the Debtor will have continued
access to the goods, services and technology available under the Assumed Agreements, all of
which is integral to the Debtor’s ability to move forward with its KB004 program; (iv) favorably
resolve potentially sizeable claims that may be incurred by the Debtor’s estate in the event the
Assumed Agreements are not assumed; and (v) obviate the expense, delay, inconvenience and
uncertainty that would attend any litigation of the disputes that likely would arise under the
Lonza Agreements and BioWa Agreements in the absence of this Stipulation. Therefore, the
Stipulation satisfies section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and should
be approved by the Court.
37. Under sections 105(a) and 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code the Stipulation should
be approved because it is a reasonable exercise of the Debtor’s business judgment. The
Stipulation has a sound business purpose and represents the exercise of KaloBios’s sound
Case 15-12628-LSS Doc 461 Filed 05/16/16 Page 15 of 21
16
business judgment and, accordingly, any actions required to effectuate the terms of the
Stipulation should be authorized and approved pursuant to Section 363(b). See In re Lionel
Corp., 722 F. 2d 1063, 1071 (2d Cir. 1983) (“The rule we adopt requires that a judge
determining a 363(b) application expressly find from the evidence presented before him a good
business reason to grant the application.”); In re Delaware Hudson Ry. Co., 124 B.R. 169, 179
(Bankr. Del. 1991 ).
38. Further, the Martin factors, to the extent applicable in this context, all support
approval of the Stipulation under Bankruptcy Rule 9019. First, it is far from clear that the
Debtor would be able to assume the Assumed Agreements without the consent of Lonza and
BioWa, as applicable. Certain of the Assumed Agreements, including particularly the
BioWa/Lonza License involve the licensing of intellectual property to the Debtor. While the
Debtor believes that, absent this Stipulation, it would have persuasive arguments as to why it
could assume the Assumed Agreements without the consent of Lonza and BioWa, the Debtor
acknowledges that pursuing such a path would entail some litigation risk to it and its estate. . In
re Trump Entm’t Resorts, Inc., 526 B.R. 116, 122 (Bankr D. Del. 2015) (finding that “a debtor in
possession may not assume an executory contract over the nondebtor's objection if applicable
law would bar assignment to a hypothetical third party, even where the debtor in possession has
no intention of assigning the contract in question to any such third party”) (internal quotations
omitted).
39. Moreover, even if without the Stipulation the Debtor could overcome technical
objections of Lonza and BioWa to the assumption of the Assumed Agreements under section 365
of the Bankruptcy Code, it is not clear that cost and delay entailed in assuming such agreements
on a contested basis would be financially or practically feasible for the Debtor to bear. Pursuant
Case 15-12628-LSS Doc 461 Filed 05/16/16 Page 16 of 21
17
to the Stipulation, Lonza and BioWa have agreed to discount by 25-30% the amounts they would
require to be paid as cure claims in connection with the assumption of the Assumed Agreements.
40. The Stipulation ensures that the Debtor is able to assume the Lonza Assumed
Agreements and the BioWa/Lonza License, providing the Debtor with continued access to,
among other things, the Technology and KB004 Stage 60 Product.
41. Second, because Lonza, BioWa and the Debtor have had a lengthy history with
one another dating back until at least 2008, and because the agreements at issue are lengthy and
highly technical, any litigation over them is likely to be time consuming, complex and expensive.
The Stipulation avoids the adverse effects of such a scenario.
42. Third, the paramount interests of the Debtor’s creditors, shareholders and other
stakeholders are well-served by consummating the Stipulation. As discussed above, the KB004
program is an important part of the Debtor’s post-emergence business plan. Given its current
resource constraints, the Debtor’s ability to continue the KB004 program without continuing its
relationship with Lonza and BioWa is, at best, questionable. Moreover, continuing the KB004
program is in the public interest, given the possibility that it might result in a viable treatment for
certain aggressive forms of cancer.
B. The Debtor’s Assumption Of The Assumed Agreements And Deemed Rejection Of Any Old Agreements To The Extent Executory Should Be Approved.
43. The Lonza Assumed Agreements and the BioWa/Lonza License are executory
contracts. It is also possible that certain of the Old Lonza Agreements and Old BioWa
Agreements, in whole or part, may be executory (though the Stipulation contains no
determination of their status in this regard). As set forth in the Stipulation, the Assumed
Agreements will be assumed on the Plan Effective Date subject to the terms and conditions of
the Stipulation. Similarly, the Old Lonza Agreements and Old BioWa Agreements, to the extent
Case 15-12628-LSS Doc 461 Filed 05/16/16 Page 17 of 21
18
executory, on the Plan Effective Date will be deemed rejected without further action of any Party
and without the Debtor, the Debtor’s estate or the Reorganized Debtor incurring any liability as a
result of such deemed rejection.
44. Pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, a debtor in possession's decision
to assume or reject or modify such executory contracts should be approved if it is a reasonable
exercise of business judgment. Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a debtor,
“subject to the court's approval, may assume or reject an executory contract or an unexpired
lease.” 11 U.S.C. § 365(a); see Univ. Med. Ctr. v. Sullivan (In re Univ. Med. Ctr.), 973 F.2d
1065, 1075 (3d Cir. 1992); see also In re Penn Traffic Co., 524 F.3d 373 (2d Cir. 2008). The
Court may approve a debtor’s assumption or rejection of an executory contract or unexpired
lease if such assumption or rejection is made in the exercise of such debtor’s sound business
judgment, and if such rejection benefits its estate. See, e.g., In re AbitibiBowater Inc., 418 B.R.
815, 831 (Bankr. D. Del. 2009) (A debtor's decision to assume or reject an executory contract
will stand so long as “a reasonable business person would make a similar decision under similar
circumstances.”); In re Philadelphia Newspapers, LLC, 424 B.R. 178, 182 (Bankr. E.D. Pa.
2010) (“The standard applied to determine whether the rejection of an executory contract or
unexpired lease should be authorized is the ‘business judgment’ standard.”); Sharon Steel Corp.
v. Nat'l Fuel Gas Distrib. Corp., 872 F.2d 36, 39 (3d Cir. 1989); see also NLRB v. Bildisco &
Bildisco (In re Bildisco), 682 F.2d 72, 79 (3d Cir. 1982), aff’d, 465 U.S. 513 (1984); Westbury
Real Estate Ventures, Inc. v. Bradlees, Inc. (In re Bradlees, Inc.), 194 B.R. 555, 558 n.1 (Bankr.
S.D.N.Y. 1996) (“[u]nder the business judgment test, ... [a court should approve a debtor’s
proposed rejection] if the debtor can demonstrate that rejection will benefit the estate”). It is
enough if a debtor determines in its business judgment that a benefit will be realized. Sharon
Case 15-12628-LSS Doc 461 Filed 05/16/16 Page 18 of 21
19
Steel Corp., 872 F.2d at 39 (citing Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corp. v. West Penn Power Co. (In
re Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corp.), 72 B.R. 845, 846 (Bankr. W.D. Pa. 1987)); In re Balco
Equities, Inc., 323 B.R. 85, 99 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2005) (“In determining whether the debtor has
employed reasonable business discretion, the court for the most part must only determine that the
rejection will likely benefit the estate.”). The business judgment standard requires that the Court
approve the debtor’s business decision unless that judgment is the product of bad faith, whim or
caprice. See Philadelphia Newspapers, 424 BR at 182-83; In re Trans World Airlines, Inc., 261
B.R 103, 121 (Bankr. D. Del. 2001).
45. As discussed above, the Debtor’s decision to assume the Assumed Agreements on
the terms and conditions set forth in the Stipulation, as well as its decision to reject any Old
Lonza Agreements and any Old BioWa Agreements (to the extent executory), are plainly
supported by sound business judgment and of significant benefit to the Debtor and its estate.
46. Approving the Stipulation will benefit the Debtor’s estate and bolster its efforts to
successfully reorganize on the timeframe required by the Savant Transaction, the DIP Facility
and the Exit Facility. Moreover, the Stipulation falls well within the range of reasonable
litigation outcomes faced by the Parties and is the product of extensive, arm’s-length
negotiations. It provides for a fair and practical resolution of the Lonza Agreements, BioWa
Agreements and Claims between the Debtor, Lonza and BioWa. If approved, the Stipulation
will enable the Debtor to continue its study of KB004 and its potential medical and financial
value and facilitate confirmation of the Debtor’s Plan, which provides that that general unsecured
creditors will be paid in full over time and existing equity will retain their interests.
47. For these reasons, the Court should find that the Stipulation (i) is fair, equitable
and in the best interests of the Debtor, its estate, creditors, stockholders, and other parties in
Case 15-12628-LSS Doc 461 Filed 05/16/16 Page 19 of 21
20
interest; (ii) represents an exercise of the Debtor’s sound business judgment; and (iii) should be
approved pursuant to sections 105(a), 363, 365 and 502 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy
Rule 9019.

IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE
In re Chapter 11 KALOBIOS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., Case No. 15-12628 (LSS) Debtor.1
SETTLEMENT STIPULATION BY AND AMONG DEBTOR, LONZA ENTITIES AND BIOWA RELATING TO LONZA AGREEMENTS AND CLAIMS, BIOWA
AGREEMENTS AND CLAIMS, AND RELATED MATTERS
This settlement stipulation (the “Stipulation”) is made and entered into this 16th
day of May, 2016 (the “Execution Date”), by and between (i) KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,
the debtor and debtor in possession (the “Debtor” or “KaloBios”) in the above-captioned chapter
11 case, (ii) Lonza Sales AG (“Lonza AG”), Lonza Sales Ltd (“Lonza Ltd”), and Lonza
Biologics, Inc. (collectively, with Lonza AG and Lonza Ltd, “Lonza” or the “Lonza Entities”),
and (iii) BioWa, Inc. (“BioWa”). The Debtor, Lonza and BioWa are sometimes each referred to
here as a “Party” and together as the “Parties”. The Parties hereby stipulate and agree as follows:
Recitals
A. Prior to the Petition Date (as defined herein), the Debtor and one or more
of the Lonza Entities were party to certain agreements, including the following:
The Services Agreement between Lonza Sales AG and KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc., dated April 1, 2009, as amended from time to time through Amendment No. 39, dated August 26, 2015 (as amended, the “KB004 Agreement”).
The Services Agreement between Lonza Sales AG and KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Relating to Product KB001-A, dated December 10, 2014 (as amended, the “KB001-A Agreement”).
1 The last four digits of the Debtor’s federal tax identification number are 7236. The Debtor’s
address is 1000 Marina Blvd #250, Brisbane, CA 94005-1878.
Case 15-12628-LSS Doc 461-2 Filed 05/16/16 Page 6 of 32

The Development and Manufacturing Agreement, between Lonza Ltd and KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Relating to KB001, dated January 24, 2008 (as amended, the “KB001 Agreement”)
The Research Evaluation Agreement, between Lonza Sales AG and KaloBios Pharmaceuticals, Inc., dated May 6, 2008 (as amended, the “Research Agreement”)
B. Prior to the Petition Date, as documented by Amendment No. 35 to the
KB004 Agreement, Lonza AG undertook certain Stage 59 and 60 services, including production
one cGMP Batch of KB004 Product at 1000 L scale for the Debtor (the “KB004 Stage 60
Product”). Lonza AG maintains that it completed and tendered delivery of the KB004 Stage 60
Product and related documentation prior to the Petition Date. For purposes of this Stipulation,
the Debtor takes no position on whether such services were completed and delivery of the
KB004 Stage 60 Product occurred prior to the Petition Date.
C. Lonza currently has possession, custody and control of the KB004 Stage
60 Product.
D. By Invoice No. 4032028, dated September 25, 2015, Lonza invoiced the
Debtor £26,400 for certain obligations incurred under the KB001-A Agreement (the “KB001-A
Invoice”).
E. From September – December 2015, Lonza issued several invoices to the
Debtor for obligations incurred under the KB004 Agreement as follows:
Date Invoice No. Amount September 28, 2015 4032141 £7,000.00September 29, 2015 4032549 £25,000.00October 29, 2015 4036276 £8,750.00December 14, 2015 4041810 £3,329.00December 14, 2015 4041811 £1,644.00December 29, 2015 4043215 £504,000.00December 29, 2015 4043179 £199,908.37December 29, 2015 4043180 £54,736.25December 29, 2015 4043181 £9,661.00

TOTAL £814,028.62 (collectively, with the KB001-A Invoice, the “Lonza Invoices”).
F. Prior to the Petition Date, BioWa and the Debtor entered into that certain
Non-Exclusive License Agreement, effective as of September 2, 2008 (as amended, the “BioWa
2008 License”), whereby BioWa granted to the Debtor a license for the use of certain technology
owned or controlled by BioWa known as the Potelligent® Technology in the development of the
Debtor’s products. The BioWa 2008 License was subsequently terminated by agreement of
BioWa and the Debtor.
G. Prior to the Petition Date, BioWa, Lonza AG and the Debtor entered into
that certain Non-Exclusive License Agreement, effective as of October 15, 2010 (as amended,
and including, without limitation, that certain Third Party Reviewer Agreement annexed as
Exhibit 2 and that certain Mutual Confidentiality Agreement, dated February 26, 2010, the
“BioWa/Lonza License”) pursuant to which the Debtor was granted a license for the use of
certain Technology (as that term is defined therein), which includes the Potelligent® CHOK1SV
cell line and related know-how.

pursuant to Section 6.2.1 of the BioWa/Lonza License.

K. On December 29, 2015 (the “Petition Date”), the Debtor filed a voluntary
petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (as amended, the
“Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the
“Bankruptcy Court”), thereby commencing its chapter 11 case, Case No. 15-12628 (LSS) (the
“Bankruptcy Case”).
L. By Order, dated February 12, 2016 [D.I. 170], the Bankruptcy Court
appointed Prime Clerk LLC, as the official claims and noticing agent for the Bankruptcy Case
(the “Claims Agent”).
M. Lonza has timely filed a Proof of Claim against the Debtor, identified by
the Claims Agent as Claim No. 8 (the “Lonza Filed Claim”), which asserts an unsecured claim
against the Debtor in the amount of $1,250,605.00 and purports to reserve Lonza’s right to seek
allowance of some or all of such claim as an administrative expense claim pursuant to section
503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code.
N. BioWa has timely filed a Proof of Claim against the Debtor, identified by
the Claims Agent as Claim No. 30 (the “BioWa Filed Claim”), which asserts, among other
things, an unsecured claim in the amount of $100,000.
O. On April 7, 2016, the Debtor filed the Debtor’s Plan of Reorganization
[D.I. 318] and related proposed disclosure statement [D.I. 319]. On April 25, 2016, the Debtor
filed the Debtor’s First Amended Plan of Reorganization [D.I. 366], together with a revised
disclosure statement [D.I. 368]. On May 9, 2016, the Debtor filed the Debtor’s Second Amended
Plan of Reorganization (as amended, together with all schedules, exhibits and supplements, the
“Plan”), and a related disclosure statement [D.I. 435] (the “Disclosure Statement”). Also on May
9, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order [D.I. 420] that, inter alia, approved the
Case 15-12628-LSS Doc 461-2 Filed 05/16/16 Page 9 of 32
5
Disclosure Statement and authorized the Debtor to commence solicitation of acceptances of the
Plan.
P. The Plan provides, among other things, for the Holders of Allowed Class 2
Claims to receive in full and final satisfaction and discharge of such Allowed General Unsecured
Claim, value equal to 100% of the Allowed amount of such Claim in the form of: (i) Cash equal
to 50% of the Allowed amount of such Allowed General Unsecured Claim; plus (ii) a Company
Note in an original principal amount equal to the 50% of the Allowed amount of such Allowed
General Unsecured Claim (together, the “Class 2 Treatment”).
Q. Following its emergence from bankruptcy pursuant to its confirmed and
effective Plan, the Debtor anticipates that it will engage in further research, development, testing
and potentially commercialization activities with respect to its KB004 product. The Debtor,
therefore, believes that it will have further need in connection with its business for Lonza’s
services under the KB004 Agreement and possibly other agreements with Lonza, use of the
KB004 Stage 60 Product, and use of the Technology licensed pursuant to the Lonza/BioWa
License.

foregoing, as well as the terms, conditions and mutual agreements set forth herein, IT IS
HEREBY stipulated and agreed by the Parties as follows:

Bankruptcy Code, (i) such Old Lonza Agreements automatically will be deemed rejected upon

Party, and (ii) the Debtor, the Debtor’s estate and the Reorganized Debtor (as defined in the

seek the remedies of specific performance or an injunction arising from or relating to any breach
by the other party of a confidentiality obligation contained in any Old Lonza Agreement (and the
ability of the other party to oppose a request for such a remedy).
(b) Old BioWa Agreements. The Debtor and BioWa agree that any
BioWa Agreements other than the BioWa/Lonza License (such other BioWa Agreements, the

remedy) arising from or relating to any prospective breach by the other party of a confidentiality
obligation or restriction on the sale, transfer or distribution of BioWa cells, BioWa transfected
cells or BioWa know-how or other intellectual property rights contained in any Old BioWa
Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Paragraph 7(b) is intended to or shall (i)
modify any party’s rights or obligations under any Old BioWa Agreement or (ii) revive any

ceased or expired by the terms of any Old BioWa Agreement or any agreement that has

related proposed order (the “Approval Order”) for review at least two (2) calendar days prior to
the Filing Deadline. The Approval Motion, including the related Approval Order, shall be in
form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Debtor, Lonza and BioWa.
(b) The Debtor will use its reasonable best efforts to have the Approval
Motion heard at the earliest available hearing date following the Filing Deadline (which may be
the hearing on confirmation of the Plan, tentatively scheduled for June 14-15, 2016) that does not
require the Debtor to obtain relief from the Bankruptcy Court to shorten notice below the
minimum period required by the Bankruptcy Rules and the local rules of the Bankruptcy Court.
Lonza and BioWa will use their respective reasonable best efforts to cooperate with such
scheduling and to be available, if needed, in connection with the hearing on the Approval
Motion.
9. Plan Support. Unless the Bankruptcy Court has entered an order denying
approval of this Stipulation or the Bankruptcy Court has adjudicated the Debtor to be in material
breach of its obligations pursuant to this Stipulation, subject to the terms and conditions of this

respect to the Plan, (ii) object to the Plan or any related disclosure statement, so long as each of
