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.
SECTION 3
RIGHT OF CO-SALE
3.1 Exercise by the Remaining
Investor .
(a) Subject to the limitations of
this Section 3, the Remaining Investor shall have the right to
participate in such sale of the Offered Units on the same terms and
conditions as specified in the Transfer Agreement an
