Dear Sirs/Madams:
Re: Support and Voting Agreement
Background
I understand that you and Phivida Holdings Inc. (“ Phivida ”) wish to enter into an arrangement agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “ Arrangement Agreement ”) contemplating, among other things, the acquisition by Choom of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Phivida pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “ Arrangement ”).
Capitalized terms used in this letter agreement not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Arrangement Agreement.
Representations, Warranties and Agreements
I am the owner of:
684,029 ____________________ common shares in the capital of Phivida (the “ Holder Shares ”); and 1,056,529 ____________________ Phivida Options (the “ Holder Options ”).
The Holder Shares and Holder Options are collectively referred to herein as the “ Subject Securities ”.
I hereby agree, in my capacity as securityholder and not in my capacity as an officer or director of Phivida, from the date hereof until the earlier of the date on which (i) the parties hereto agree in writing, (ii) the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (iii) the Phivida Board enters into a definitive agreement in connection with the receipt of a Superior Proposal in compliance with Section 5.4 of the Arrangement Agreement, or (iv) the Choom Board enters into a definitive agreement in connection with the receipt of a Competing Transaction in compliance with Section 5.5 of the Arrangement Agreement:
- (a) to vote (or to cause to be voted) the Subject Securities and any other common shares (the “ Additional Shares ”) of Phivida that are directly or indirectly acquired by or issued to me after the date hereof, provided such Additional Shares are beneficially owned by me, or over which control or direction is exercised by me and such Additional Shares are entitled to be voted in respect of the Arrangement Resolution (including, without limitation any common shares issued upon the exercise of Holder Options ), if any, (i) in favour of the approval of the Arrangement Resolution and any other matter necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement;

-
(e) except in my capacity as director or officer to the extent permitted by the Arrangement Agreement, not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, assist, initiate or knowingly encourage any inquiries or proposals regarding an Acquisition Proposal (as such term is defined in the Arrangement Agreement), or enter into or engage in any discussion, negotiation or inquiries relating to an Acquisition Proposal; and
-
(f) not to, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, pledge or assign or agree to sell, transfer, pledge or assign any of the Subject Securities or any interest therein, without your prior written consent.

I agree that the details of this letter agreement may be described in any press release, information circular or other communication prepared by Phivida or Choom in connection with the Arrangement and in any material change report prepared by Phivida or similar document prepared by Choom in connection with the execution and delivery of this letter agreement and I further agree to this letter agreement being made publicly available, including by filing on SEDAR, in accordance with applicable securities laws.
