WHEREAS, institutional investors have invested $50,000,000 in Holdings (the “Financing”) in exchange for membership interests in Holdings and for a warrant to purchase up to a total of 2,000,000 shares of Dynavax Common Stock (the “Warrant”), which were issued to Holdings, and Holdings contributed the net proceeds of the Financing to Symphony Dynamo;

WHEREAS, the parties to the Original Agreement desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement and accept the rights and covenants hereof in lieu of their rights and covenants under the Original Agreement;

WHEREAS, contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Dynavax has exercised the Purchase Option (as defined below) by delivering the Purchase Option Exercise Notice (as defined below) to Holdings;

WHEREAS, on the Purchase Option Closing Date, Dynavax will issue to Holdings, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (including, without limitation, the Stockholder Approval (as defined below) and cancellation of the Warrant), (i) the Dynavax Closing Shares (as defined below), (ii) warrants (the “Dynavax Closing Warrants”) to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Dynavax Common Stock, to be initially issued to Holdings (the “Dynavax Closing Warrant Shares”) and the Dynavax Promissory Note (as defined below); and

WHEREAS, Symphony Dynamo and Holdings have determined that it is in each of its best interest to perform and comply with certain agreements and covenants relating to each of its ongoing operations contained in this Agreement.


				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) and 7(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.

(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.

(a) Exercise Notice. Dynavax may exercise the Purchase Option only by delivery of a notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the “Purchase Option 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


		2		Amended and Restated Purchase Option Agreement

(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

(i) Subject to the post-closing adjustment pursuant to Section 2B and the following sentence, as 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 issue to Holdings an aggregate of (A) 13,000,000 shares of Dynavax Common Stock (the “Dynavax Closing Shares”) and (B) the Dynavax Closing Warrants. If, after the date hereof and prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date, (x) the number of outstanding shares of Dynavax Common Stock has been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in capitalization, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the number of Dynavax Closing Shares to be issued at the Purchase Option Closing Date, or (y) there has been a Specified Company Issuance (as defined below), the consideration to be paid by Dynavax at the Purchase Option Closing Date may be adjusted in accordance with Section 2A.

(ii) 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), if Dynavax enters into any agreement or arrangement with any third party with respect to the development and/or commercialization of a Cancer Product or a Hepatitis C Product (each a “Symphony Dynamo Product Agreement”), Dynavax shall be obligated to pay to Holdings, within 10 Business Days of Dynavax’s receipt thereof, an amount equal to 50% of the first $50,000,000 of any upfront, pre-commercialization milestone or similar payments received by Dynavax under any such Symphony Dynamo Product Agreements.

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”).

(iv) The Dynavax Closing Shares, the Dynavax Closing Warrants, the payments to be made to Holdings set forth in Section 2(b)(ii) and the Dynavax Promissory Note shall constitute the “Purchase Price”.

(d) Surrender of Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities. 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.


		3		Amended and Restated Purchase Option Agreement

(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.

(f) Standstill and Corporate Governance Letter Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Purchase Option Closing Date, Holdings and Dynavax shall enter into a standstill and corporate governance letter agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3 (the “Standstill and Corporate Governance Letter Agreement”).

(g) Warrant Purchase Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Purchase Option Closing Date, Holdings and Dynavax shall enter into a warrant purchase agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4 (the “Warrant Purchase Agreement”).

(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 Hart-Scott-Rodino 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.

(j) Transfer of Title. Transfer of title to Dynavax of all of the Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities shall be deemed to occur automatically on the Purchase Option Closing Date, subject to the issuance by Dynavax on such date of the portion of the Purchase Price comprised of the Dynavax Closing Shares and the Dynavax Closing Warrants or Alternate Closing Securities (as defined below), as applicable, and the Dynavax Promissory Note, and its performance of its other obligations herein required to be performed, and under the Registration Rights Agreement, as applicable, on or prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date to the reasonable satisfaction of Holdings, and thereafter Symphony Dynamo shall treat Dynavax as the sole holder of all Symphony Dynamo Equity Securities, notwithstanding the failure of Holdings to tender certificates representing such shares to Dynavax in accordance with Section 2(d) hereof.


		4		Amended and Restated Purchase Option Agreement

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.

(a) If at any time and from time to time from and after the Purchase Option Closing Date through the date occurring six (6) months after the Purchase Option Closing Date (or if such date is not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter) (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.

(b) Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the consummation of a Specified Dynavax Issuance, Dynavax shall, in accordance with Section 13, deliver to Holdings a notice (a “Specified Issuance Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail: (i) a description of the form and terms of the Additional Dynavax Securities to be issued pursuant to the Specified Dynavax Issuance (such Additional Dynavax Securities, the “Alternate Securities”); (ii) the price at which the Alternate Securities will be issued pursuant to the Specified Dynavax Issuance; (iii) the estimated date of issuance of such Alternate Securities; and (iv) the amount and form of Alternate Securities that would be issued to an investor participating in the Specified Dynavax Issuance upon payment to Dynavax of an amount equal to


		5		Amended and Restated Purchase Option Agreement

$20,446,000. If Holdings elects to exercise its rights under Section 2B(a) with respect to a Specified Dynavax Issuance, Holdings, in accordance with Section 13, shall deliver to Dynavax a notice of such election not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the consummation of such Specified Dynavax Issuance (the “Holdings Election Notice”). 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”):

(i) rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Dynavax Common Stock (“Options”), or shares of restricted stock or stock appreciation rights, issued to employees or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, Dynavax or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the board of directors of Dynavax;

(ii)(1) shares of Dynavax Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of Options or (2) shares of Dynavax Common Stock actually issued upon the conversion or exchange of any evidences of indebtedness, shares or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Dynavax Common Stock, but excluding Options (“Convertible Securities”), in each case provided such issuance is pursuant to the terms of such Option or Convertible Security;

(iii) shares of Dynavax Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities issued by reason of a dividend on the outstanding Dynavax Common Stock, stock split of the outstanding Dynavax Common Stock, split-up of the outstanding Dynavax Common Stock or other distribution on shares of Dynavax Common Stock; or

(iv) shares of Dynavax Common Stock sold and issued pursuant to that certain Equity Distribution Agreement dated August 17, 2009, by and between Dynavax and Wedbush Morgan Securities, Inc. (the “ATM Securities”).

Section 3. Dynavax Representations, Warranties and Covenants. As of the date hereof, Dynavax hereby represents and warrants, and, except to the extent that any of the following representations and warranties is limited to the date of this Agreement or otherwise limited, on the Purchase Option Closing Date and each Adjusted Securities Payment Date, shall be deemed to have represented and warranted, to Holdings and Symphony Dynamo that:

Dynavax has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Dynavax Promissory Note, the Warrant Purchase Agreement, and the Standstill and Corporate Governance Letter Agreement (the “Ancillary Agreements”), and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution, delivery and performance by Dynavax of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action required on the part of Dynavax, and no other proceedings on the part of Dynavax, other than the Stockholder Approval, which will be obtained prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date, are necessary to authorize this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or for Dynavax to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the lawful, valid and legally binding obligations of Dynavax, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not (A) violate, conflict with or result in the breach of any provision of the Organizational Documents of Dynavax, (B) conflict with or violate any law or Governmental Order applicable to Dynavax or any of its assets, properties or businesses, or (C) conflict with, result in any breach of, constitute a default (or event that with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a default) under, require any consent under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration, suspension, revocation or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any Encumbrance on any of the assets or properties of Dynavax, pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage or indenture, contract, agreement, lease, sublease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or arrangement to which Dynavax is a party except, in the case of clauses (B) and (C), to the extent that such conflicts, breaches, defaults or other matters would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Dynavax.

(iv) Governmental Consents and Approvals. Other than any HSR Filings which, if such HSR Filings are required pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) hereof, will be obtained on or prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements by Dynavax do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not, require any Governmental Approval which has not already been obtained, effected or provided, except with respect to which the failure to so obtain, effect or provide would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Dynavax.

(v) Litigation. There are no actions by or against Dynavax pending before any Governmental Authority or, to the knowledge of Dynavax, threatened to be brought by or before any Governmental Authority, that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Dynavax. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of Dynavax, threatened actions, to which Dynavax is a party (or is threatened to be named as a party) to set aside, restrain, enjoin or prevent the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the Operative Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby by any party hereto or thereto. Dynavax is not subject to any Governmental Order (nor, to the knowledge of Dynavax, is there any such Governmental Order threatened to be imposed by any Governmental Authority) that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Dynavax.

(b) Dynavax hereby covenants and agrees with Holdings as follows:

Dynavax shall deliver to Holdings on or prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date a legal opinion of Cooley Godward Kronish LLP (or such other counsel as Dynavax and Holdings shall mutually agree), which opinion shall be, in form and substance, reasonably acceptable to Holdings. If Alternate Securities are to be issued pursuant to Section 2B(a), Dynavax shall deliver to Holdings on or before each Adjusted Securities Payment date a legal opinion of Cooley Godward Kronish LLP (or such other counsel as Dynavax and Holdings shall mutually agree), which opinion shall be, in form and substance, reasonably acceptable to Holdings.


		7		Amended and Restated Purchase Option Agreement

(ii) Dynavax, on the Purchase Option Closing Date, shall convey good and marketable title to the Dynavax Closing Shares or Alternate Closing Securities, as applicable, free from any Encumbrances and any and all other restrictions that any issuance, sale, assignment or other transfer of Dynavax Closing Shares or Alternate Closing Securities, as applicable, be consented to or approved by any Person. Dynavax, on each Adjusted Securities Payment Date, shall convey good and marketable title to the Alternate Securities issued pursuant to Section 2B(a), free from any Encumbrances and any and all other restrictions requiring that any issuance, sale, assignment or other transfer of such Alternate Securities be consented to or approved by any Person.

(iii) If the share certificates representing the Dynavax Closing Shares or Alternate Closing Securities, as applicable, and any Alternate Securities issued pursuant to Section 2B(a), include the 33 Act Legend (as set forth in Section 2(f) hereof), Dynavax shall, within two (2) Business Days of receiving a request from Holdings or any “Investor” (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), remove or cause to be removed the 33 Act Legend from such share certificates as Holdings or such Investor shall designate, so long as (x) the Dynavax Closing Shares or Alternate Closing Securities or such Alternate Securities, as applicable, represented by such share certificates has been transferred to a third party in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or an available exemption therefrom, and (y) Dynavax receives a certification from Holdings, such Investor or a securities broker designated by Holdings or such Investor to the effect that the sale of such Dynavax Closing Shares or Alternate Closing Securities or such Alternate Securities, as applicable, was made under a Registration Statement and accompanied by the delivery of a current prospectus.

(iv) Upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 hereof, or as soon thereafter as is practical, Dynavax shall (A) in accordance with Sections 2.7 and 2.8 of the Novated and Restated Technology License Agreement, deliver to Symphony Dynamo all regulatory submissions, clinical master files, development plans, consultant inputs, manufacturing reports and, to the extent requested by Symphony, other materials, documents, files and other information relating to the Programs and necessary to enable Symphony Dynamo to continue the development of the Programs (or, where necessary, copies thereof), and (B) in accordance with and pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Novated and Restated Technology License Agreement, negotiate in good faith, and on commercially reasonable terms and conditions, a supply agreement relating to materials, including compounds and Products, required by Symphony Dynamo or its partners or transferees for the continued development (including clinical development), manufacture and commercialization of Products.

(v) [Reserved].

(vi) Prior to each Adjusted Securities Payment Date, Dynavax shall take all such actions (at Dynavax’s sole cost and expense) as are necessary to permit Dynavax to issue the Alternate Securities to Holdings in accordance with Section 2B(a).

(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 connection with the foregoing, Dynavax shall call and hold a meeting of its stockholders to seek Stockholder Approval prior to the date that is six (6) months from the date hereof, and file with the SEC a proxy statement and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit proxies in favor of the Stockholder Approval, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any comments of the SEC or its staff and to cause a definitive proxy


		8		Amended and Restated Purchase Option Agreement

statement related to such stockholders’ meeting to be mailed to Dynavax’s stockholders. The Dynavax Board shall recommend Stockholder Approval and such recommendation shall be included in each proxy statement filed with the SEC and disseminated to the Dynavax stockholders in connection with such stockholder meeting (such recommendations, the “Dynavax Board Recommendation”). Dynavax shall notify Holdings promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff and of any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to such proxy statement or for additional information and will supply Holdings with copies of all correspondence between Dynavax or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to such proxy statement. If at any time prior to such stockholders’ meeting there shall occur any event that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the proxy statement, Dynavax shall as promptly as practicable prepare and mail to its stockholders such an amendment or supplement. Each of Holdings and Dynavax agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it or on its behalf for use in the proxy statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and Dynavax shall as promptly as practicable prepare and mail to its stockholders an amendment or supplement to correct such information to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations. Dynavax shall provide Holdings with drafts of each such proxy statement, or amendment or supplement thereto, and consult with Holdings regarding the same, in each case, prior to filing or mailing the same. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Dynavax’s obligations pursuant to the first two sentences of this Section 3(b)(viii) shall not be affected by the withdrawal or modification by the Dynavax Board or any committee thereof of the Dynavax Board Recommendation.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under clause (a) of Section 2.1, and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, Payee may declare the unpaid principal balance of this Note to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Note so declared to be due and payable shall

become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Obligor; and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under clauses (b), (c), (d) or (e) of Section 2.1, the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Obligor.

3. MISCELLANEOUS

3.1 WAIVER

The rights and remedies of Payee under this Note shall be cumulative and not alternative. No waiver by Payee of any right or remedy under this Note shall be effective unless in a writing signed by Payee. Neither the failure nor any delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Note will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege by Payee will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right of Payee arising out of this Note can be discharged by Payee, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in a writing signed by Payee; (b) no waiver that may be given by Payee will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on Obligor will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of Obligor or of the right of Payee to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Note. Obligor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor and protest.

3.2 NOTICES

Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be given in accordance with Section 13 of the Agreement.

3.3 SEVERABILITY

If any provision in this Note is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Note will remain in full force and effect.

Each party further irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such court in any such claim. Any and all service of process and any other notice in any such claim shall be effective against any party if given personally or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by any other means of mail that requires a signed receipt, postage prepaid, mailed to such party as herein provided.
