SECTION 2

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER

2.1 General . Prior to the Option Expiration Date, no Party may Transfer their Units or Conversion Units (except as in accordance with Section 5.1 of the Investors’ Rights Agreement or in a Permitted Transfer (as defined in the Investors’ Rights Agreement)) pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 6.4 of the Investors’ Rights Agreement. On or after the Option Expiration Date (as defined the Investors’ Rights Agreement), before a Seller may Transfer any Seller Units, Seller must comply with the provisions of Section 2.2 and Section 3 hereof. Each Investor represents and warrants that it is the sole legal and beneficial owner of its Seller Units and, subject to any restrictions imposed under the Company’s certificate of formation, as filed on September 8, 2009, and as amended from time to time (the “ Certificate ”) or the Company’s limited liability company agreement, as amended from time to time (the “ LLC Agreement ”), or under any restricted units purchase agreement with the Company, that no other person or entity has any interest (other than a community property interest) in such units. Each of Bio and Maxygen acknowledges and agrees that it is subject to certain restrictions on the Transfer of its Seller Units prior to the Option Expiration Date pursuant to Section 5 of the Investors’ Rights Agreement and that such restrictions are in lieu of the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement, and that none of the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement shall apply, with respect to any Transfer of Seller Units prior to the Option Expiration Date.

2.2 Notice of Proposed Transfer . On or after the Option Expiration Date, prior to Seller Transferring any of its Seller Units, Seller shall deliver to the Company and the Remaining Investor a written notice (the “ Transfer Notice ”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, stating: (i) Seller’s bona fide intention to Transfer such Seller Units; (ii) the name, address and phone number of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (each, a “ Proposed Transferee ”); (iii) the aggregate number of Seller Units proposed to be Transferred to each Proposed Transferee (the “ Offered Units ”); (iv) the bona fide cash price or, in reasonable detail, other consideration for which Seller proposes to Transfer the Offered Units (the “ Offered Price ”); and (v) the Remaining Investor’s right to exercise its Right of Co-Sale with respect to the Offered Units. Attached to such Transfer Notice shall be a copy of the purchase agreement (the “ Transfer Agreement ”) pursuant to which the Seller intends to Transfer its Seller Units. If the Transfer Agreement is not available at the time that the Transfer Notice is sent to the Company and the Remaining Investor, then the Seller agrees to provide the Transfer Agreement to the Company and the Remaining Investor promptly once a reasonably final draft thereof is available and in any event not less than five (5) days prior to the conclusion of the Initial Exercise Period.
