Amended and Restated Purchase Option Agreement

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto (the “Parties”) agree as follows:

Section 1. Grant of Purchase Option.

(a)       Holdings hereby grants to Dynavax an exclusive option (the “Purchase Option”) to purchase all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities owned or hereafter acquired by Holdings, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b)       Symphony Dynamo hereby covenants and agrees that all Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities issued by Symphony Dynamo at any time prior to the expiration of the Term (including to Holdings on, prior to, or after the date hereof or to any other Person at any time whatsoever, in all cases prior to the expiration of the Term) shall be subject to a purchase option on the same terms as the Purchase Option (except as provided by the immediately following sentence) and all of the other terms and conditions of this Agreement without any additional action on the part of Dynavax or Holdings. Further, to the extent Symphony Dynamo shall issue any Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities (including any issuance in respect of a transfer of Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities by any holder thereof, including Holdings) after the date hereof to any Person (including Holdings) (any issuance of such Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities being subject to the prior written consent of Dynavax as set forth in Sections 5(c) and7(b) hereof, as applicable), Symphony Dynamo hereby covenants and agrees that it shall cause such Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities to be subject to the Purchase Option without the payment of, or any obligation to pay, any additional consideration in respect of such Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities by Dynavax, Symphony Dynamo or any Symphony Dynamo Subsidiary to the Person(s) acquiring such subsequently issued Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities, the Parties acknowledging and agreeing that the sole consideration payable by Dynavax pursuant to this Agreement for all of the outstanding Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities now or hereinafter owned by any Person shall be the Purchase Price.

(c)       Dynavax’s right to exercise the Purchase Option granted hereby is subject to the following conditions:

(i)        The Purchase Option may only be exercised for the purchase of all, and not less than all, of Holdings’ Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities;

(ii) The Purchase Option may only be exercised a single time; and

(iii) The Purchase Option may be exercised only on the date hereof.

Section 2. Exercise of Purchase Option.

Amended and Restated Purchase Option Agreement

Exercise Notice”) on the date hereof. The Purchase Option Exercise Notice shall be delivered to Holdings and Symphony Dynamo and shall be irrevocable once delivered. The date on which the Purchase Option Exercise Notice is first delivered to Holdings and Symphony Dynamo is referred to as the “Purchase Option Exercise Date.” The Purchase Option Exercise Notice shall contain an estimated date for the settlement of the Purchase Option (the “Purchase Option Closing”), which date shall be estimated in accordance with this Section 2(a). Such notice and election shall be irrevocable once given and made. If, during the period following delivery of the Purchase Option Exercise Notice, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by Symphony Dynamo is an amount less than or equal to $1,000,000 then Symphony Dynamo shall cease payment of any amounts owed to Dynavax in respect of its activities pursuant to the Amended and Restated Research and Development Agreement, but shall continue to pay amounts owed to all other Persons. The date of the Purchase Option Closing (the “Purchase Option Closing Date”) shall be the date that is the latest of:

(i)        five (5) Business Days following the date that Dynavax receives the necessary Government Approvals related to its HSR Filings; provided, however, that Dynavax and Holdings shall make all necessary HSR Filings within five (5) Business Days following the Purchase Option Exercise Date and shall diligently pursue the related regulatory process; and

(ii)       five (5) Business Days following the date that Dynavax receives the necessary stockholder approvals for purposes of NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635 in connection with the issuance of Dynavax Closing Shares (as defined below) and the Dynavax Closing Warrant Shares (the “Stockholder Approval”);

(b) Purchase Price

For the avoidance of doubt, payments from a third party to Dynavax for reimbursement for research and development, equity or debt issued as part of the collaboration at fair market value, commercial milestones or royalties shall not be considered payments received by Dynavax under Symphony Dynamo Product Agreements for purposes of this Section 2(b).

(iii)      As further consideration for the sale to Dynavax by Holdings of its Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities (and for the Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities of any other Person), on the Purchase Option Closing Date, Dynavax shall deliver a duly executed promissory note in the principal amount of $15,000,000, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2 (the “Dynavax Promissory Note”).

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on or prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date, Holdings shall surrender to Dynavax its certificates representing its Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities, and shall convey good title to such Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities, free from any Encumbrances and from any and all restrictions that any sale, assignment or other transfer of such Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities be consented to or approved by any Person. On or prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date, Holdings shall remove all directors serving on the Symphony Dynamo Board, other than the Dynavax Director (as defined in Section 4(b)(iv) hereof) from the Symphony Dynamo Board as of the Purchase Option Closing Date.

(e)       Valuation of Dynavax Stock. The value per share of the Dynavax Closing Shares as of the date hereof has been determined by the Parties to equal $1.57.

(h)       Share Certificates. Any stock certificate(s) issued by Dynavax for Dynavax Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2 may contain a legend (the “33 Act Legend”) substantially as follows:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND THE SAME HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SUCH SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

This legend shall be removed by Dynavax, subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of Section 3(b)(iii) hereof.

(i)        Government Approvals. On or prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date, each of Dynavax, Symphony Dynamo and Holdings shall have taken all necessary action to cause all required Governmental Approvals with respect to such Party (including, if deemed necessary and without limitation, the preparing and filing of the pre-merger notification and report forms required under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR Filings”)) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be in effect; provided, however, that with respect to Government Approvals required by a Governmental Authority other than the United States federal government and its various branches and agencies, the Parties’ obligations under this Section 2(i) shall be limited to causing to be in effect only those Government Approvals, the failure of which to be in effect would, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on any of the Parties. Each of Symphony Dynamo and Dynavax shall pay its own costs associated with taking such action. Symphony Dynamo shall pay any costs of Holdings associated with obtaining Government Approvals required in connection with the exercise of the Purchase Option. All other costs and expenses of Holdings shall be paid by Holdings pursuant to Section 8 hereof, including any costs arising from any error in Holdings’ initial valuation of its investment in Symphony Dynamo.

After the Purchase Option Closing Date, Holdings shall have no rights in connection with such Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities other than the right to receive the Purchase Price; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2(j) shall affect the survivability of any indemnification provision in this Agreement upon termination of this Agreement.

(k)       Consents and Authorizations. On or prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date, Dynavax shall have obtained all consents and authorizations necessary from stockholders and/or its board of directors for the consummation of the exercise and closing of the Purchase Option, as may be required under the organizational documents of Dynavax, any prior stockholders or board resolution, any stock exchange or similar rules or any applicable law (including, without limitation, the Stockholder Approval); provided, however, that with respect to consents or authorizations required by a Governmental Authority other than the United States federal government and its various branches and agencies, the Parties’ obligations under this Section 2(k) shall be limited to obtaining only those consents and authorizations, the failure of which to be obtained would, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on any of the Parties.

Section 2A. Purchase Option Closing Date Adjustment.

(a)       If at any time or from time to time from and after the date hereof through the Purchase Option Closing Date, Dynavax has issued Additional Dynavax Securities (any such issuance of Additional Dynavax Securities, a “Specified Dynavax Issuance”), Holdings may elect (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2B) to be paid the portion of the Purchase Price comprised of the Dynavax Closing Shares and the Dynavax Closing Warrants in the form of the Alternate Securities specified in the Specified Issuance Notice (each as defined below) (such Alternate Securities paid to Holdings at the Purchase Option Closing Date, the “Alternate Closing Securities”).

Section 2B. Post-Closing Adjustment.

Amended and Restated Purchase Option Agreement

(such date, the “Final Adjustment Date”), there is a Specified Dynavax Issuance, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the delivery to Dynavax of a Holdings Election Notice (as defined below) (such date, the “Adjusted Securities Payment Date”), (i) Dynavax shall issue to Holdings such Alternate Securities in the form specified in the Specified Issuance Notice, and (ii) Holdings shall deliver to Dynavax such Dynavax Closing Shares, Dynavax Closing Warrants, Alternate Closing Securities, or other securities of Dynavax issued pursuant to this Agreement, or other consideration transferred to Holdings, other than the Dynavax Promissory Note and the amounts payable pursuant to Section 2(b)(b)(ii), as applicable, such that on the Adjusted Securities Payment Date Holdings shall own Alternate Securities, together with all other securities of Dynavax issued, or other consideration transferred (including the Dynavax Promissory Note and the amounts payable pursuant to Section 2(b)(b)(ii)), to Holdings pursuant to this Agreement, to which Holdings is entitled in consideration of the transfer to Dynavax of the Symphony Collaboration Equity Securities. The foregoing described transactions between Dynavax and Holdings shall be settled on a net basis. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Holdings may exercise its rights under this Section 2B(a) following each Specified Dynavax Issuance that occurs after the date of this Agreement and on or prior to the Final Adjustment Date.

The failure of Holdings to notify Dynavax pursuant to this Section 2B(b) shall be deemed to constitute the waiver by Holdings of its rights under Section 2B(a) with respect to such Specified Dynavax Issuance.

(c)       “Additional Dynavax Securities” shall mean all shares of Dynavax Common Stock, Options, Convertible Securities, notes, bonds, or any other securities issued by Dynavax, or cash or other consideration paid or delivered by or on behalf of Dynavax, other than the following (collectively, “Exempted Securities”):

(vii)     Dynavax shall take all such actions (at Dynavax’s sole cost and expense) as are necessary or advisable to cause (A) the issuance of any Alternate Securities by Dynavax to Holdings or (B) the transfer of any securities of Dynavax by Holdings to Dynavax, in each case pursuant to Section 2B(a), to be exempted from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, provided that Holdings shall notify Dynavax promptly of any transactions by it involving Dynavax Common Stock that could implicate Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

(viii)    Dynavax agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Stockholder Approval.

In the event that Stockholder Approval is not obtained at the first meeting of stockholders at which Stockholder Approval is sought, at the written request of Holdings, Dynavax shall call and convene no more than one subsequent meeting of stockholders for the purpose of obtaining Stockholder Approval (and the Dynavax Board will unanimously recommend Stockholder Approval), which meeting may not be unreasonably delayed by Dynavax, and all covenants between the parties set forth in this Section 2(b)(viii) shall apply equally with respect to such subsequent meeting of stockholders. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, Dynavax shall not call or convene a meeting of its stockholders prior to the meeting of stockholders at which Stockholder Approval is sought.

(d)       Defense of Proceedings. In case any Indemnified Proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, it shall notify the applicable Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof as provided in Section 10(c), and such Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in, and provided such Indemnified Proceeding involves a claim solely for money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party and is not a criminal or regulatory action, to assume the defense of, such Indemnified Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party.

28

Amended and Restated Purchase Option Agreement

agreed that in any case referred to in this clause (ii) such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party);

(iii)      the applicable Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding within a reasonable time after notice of the commencement thereof (provided, however, that this clause (iii) shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any conflict of interest that may arise with respect to any such counsel); or

(iv)      any counsel employed by the applicable Indemnifying Party shall fail to timely commence or diligently conduct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding and such failure has materially prejudiced (or, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, is in danger of materially prejudicing) the outcome of such Indemnified Proceeding;

Without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party, such Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment in, any pending or threatened Indemnified Proceeding, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or related judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability for Losses arising out of such claim, action, investigation, suit or other legal proceeding, (ii) provides for the payment of money damages as the sole relief for the claimant (whether at law or in equity), (iii) involves no finding or admission of any violation of law or the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party, and (iv) is not in the nature of a criminal or regulatory action. No Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment in, any pending or threatened Indemnified Proceeding in respect of which any payment would result hereunder or under the Operative Documents without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.
