SECTION 2. REGISTRATION; RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.
2.1 Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) Each Holder agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares or Registrable Securities unless and until:
(i) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or
(ii) (A) The transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, (B) such Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition
and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (C) if reasonably requested by the Company, such Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Securities Act. It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144, except in unusual circumstances. After its Initial Offering, the Company will not require any transferee pursuant to Rule 144 to be bound by the terms of this Agreement if the shares so transferred do not remain Registrable Securities hereunder following such transfer.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, no such restriction shall apply to a transfer by a Holder that is (i) a partnership transferring to its partners or former partners in accordance with partnership interests, (ii) a corporation transferring to a wholly-owned subsidiary or a Person that owns all of the capital stock of the Holder, (iii) in the case of MedImmune, to any other member of the MedImmune Group, (iv) in the case of HCV VIII, to any other member of the HCV Group, (v) in the case of OBPV or MRNA, to any other member of the OBP Group, (vi) in the case of Merlin or Nexus, to any other member of the Merlin Group, (vii) a limited liability company transferring to its members or former members in accordance with their interest in the limited liability company, or (viii) an individual transferring to the Holder’s family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder’s family member; provided that in each case the transferee will agree in writing to be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if such transferee were an original Holder hereunder.
(c) Each certificate representing Shares or Registrable Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with legends substantially similar to the following (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE STOCKHOLDER AND THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”
(d) The Company shall be obligated to reissue promptly unlegended certificates at the request of any Holder thereof if the Company has completed its Initial Offering and the Holder shall have obtained an opinion of counsel (which counsel may be counsel to the Company) reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the securities proposed to be disposed of may lawfully be so disposed of without registration, qualification and legend, provided that the second legend listed above shall be removed only at such time as the Holder of such certificate is no longer subject to any restrictions hereunder.
(e) Any legend endorsed on an instrument pursuant to applicable state securities laws and the stop-transfer instructions with respect to such securities shall be removed upon receipt by the Company of an order of the appropriate blue sky authority authorizing such removal.
(f) For purposes of clarification, and not limitation, nothing contained in this Section 2.1 shall amend, limit or modify any Holder’s obligations under the Voting Agreement.
2.2 Demand Registration.
(a) Subject to the conditions of this Section 2.2, if the Company shall receive a written request from the Holders of at least 25% of the Registrable Securities (the “Initiating Holders”) that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of at least 25% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, then the Company shall, within 10 business days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders, and subject to the limitations of this Section 2.2, effect, as expeditiously as reasonably possible, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that all Holders request to be registered in the manner specified by the Initiating Holders.
(b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request (the “Covered Registrable Securities”) by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2.2 or any request pursuant to Section 2.4 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.2(a) or Section 2.4(a), as applicable. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Covered Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Covered Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Covered Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Holders of a majority of the Covered Registrable Securities held by all Initiating Holders (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2 or Section 2.4, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities) then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Covered Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such Covered Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of Covered Registrable Securities held by all such Holders. Any Covered
Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.
(c) The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2.2:
(i) In any jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification, or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;
(ii) During the period starting with the date 60 days prior to the Company’s good faith estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date 180 days immediately following the effective date of any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities pursuant to a Special Registration Statement); provided that the Company is actively employing its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;
(iii) After the Company has effected two such registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2, and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective and pursuant to which at least 51% of the Covered Registrable Securities have been sold or remain sellable; provided, however, that if any such registration statement is terminated or withdrawn at the request of the Holders holding a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration initiated under Section 2.2(a), prior to such registration statement being declared or ordered effective, then the Company shall have been deemed to have effected a registration pursuant to Section 2.2(a); provided further, however, that if the Holders holding a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities elect to withdraw a registration statement pursuant to Section 2.2(a) as a result of the material adverse change in the business, assets, prospects, or operations of the Company, such registration shall not be counted as a demand for purposes of Section 2.2(a); or
(iv) if the Company shall furnish to the Initiating Holders, a certificate signed on behalf of the Board by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than 90 days (the “Delay Period”) after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided that, such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company no more than twice as to a registration demand under this Section 2.2 in any rolling one-year period; provided further, that the Company may delay any such additional requests pursuant to Section 2.2 received during the Delay Period until the termination of the Delay Period.
(d) Except for registration statements on Form S-4 or registrations relating solely to employee benefit plans on Forms S-1 or S-8 or any successors thereto, the Company will not file with the Commission any other registration statement with respect to its Common Stock, whether for its own account or that of other stockholders, from the date of receipt of a notice from the Initiating Holders requesting sale pursuant to an underwritten offering pursuant
to this Section 2.2 until the earlier to occur of (i) 90 days following the effectiveness of such registration statement or (ii) the completion of the Period of Distribution of the registration contemplated thereby.
2.3 Piggyback Registrations. The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least 15 days prior to the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding Special Registration Statements) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of such Registrable Securities held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall, within 15 days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in such registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
(a) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to this Section 2.3. In such event, the right of any such Holder to include Registrable Securities in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and other holders distributing their Registrable Securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3, if the managing underwriter for the offering advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter may reduce to whatever extent necessary (including (i) excluding all Registrable Securities from the Company’s initial public offering and (ii) limiting the Registrable Securities to 30% of any other such registration (the “Minimum Participation Percentage”)) the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting by reducing the number of Registrable Securities included on behalf of the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities entitled to registration held by each Holder at the time of such registration; provided, however, that all reductions pursuant this Section 2.3(a)(ii) will be pro rata to an amount not less than 30% of the total number of shares included in the offering only after all other shares held by stockholders who are not Holders hereunder have been eliminated in their entirety from the registration, and; provided, further that any registration where the number of Registrable Securities is cut back to less than the Minimum Participation Percentage shall not be considered as a registration effected by the Company. The Company shall advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto of any such limitations. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written
notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall not be included in such registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.
(b) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.3 before it becomes effective whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration, and shall promptly notify any Holder that has elected to include shares in such registration of such termination or withdrawal. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof.
2.4 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities (the “Initiating S-3 Holders”) a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3) or any similar short-form registration statement and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable Securities; and
(b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within 15 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.4:
(i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;
(ii) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than $1,000,000;
(iii) if within 30 days of receipt of a written request from any Holder or Holders pursuant to this Section 2.4, the Company gives notice to such Holder or Holders of the Company’s intention to make a public offering within 90 days, other than pursuant to a Special Registration Statement;
(iv) if the Company shall furnish to the Initiating S-3 Holders a certificate signed on behalf of the Board by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than 90 days after receipt of the request of the Holders;
provided that, so long as such request by the Initiating S-3 Holders is provided not more than once in any 90-day period, such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company no more than twice in any one-year period;
(v) if the Company has, within the 12-month period preceding the date of such request, already effected four registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.4; or
(vi) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service of process in such jurisdiction and except as may otherwise be required by the Securities Act.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a Form S-3 registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.4 hereof shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof.
2.5 Expenses of Registration. Except as specifically provided herein, all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 herein shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that in connection with any registration of securities, the Company shall only be responsible for the reasonable fees and costs of one counsel for the Holders, in an amount not to exceed $50,000. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder, shall be borne by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay for expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.4, the request of which has been subsequently withdrawn by the Initiating Holders or Initiating S-3 Holders, respectively, unless (a) the withdrawal is based upon material adverse information concerning the Company of which such Initiating Holders or Initiating S-3 Holders, respectively, were not aware at the time of such request or (b) the Holders of a majority of the Covered Registrable Securities agree to deem such registration to have been effected as of the date of such withdrawal for purposes of determining whether the Company shall be obligated pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.4(b)(v), as applicable, to undertake any subsequent registration, in which event such right shall be forfeited by all Holders). If the Holders are required to pay the Registration Expenses, such expenses shall be borne by the holders of securities (including Registrable Securities) requesting such registration in proportion to the number of shares for which registration was requested. If the Company is required to pay the Registration Expenses of a withdrawn offering pursuant to clause (a) above, then such registration shall not be deemed to have been effected for purposes of determining whether the Company shall be obligated pursuant to Section 2.2(c) or 2.4(b), as applicable, to undertake any subsequent registration.
2.6 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities (advance draft copies of which shall be furnished to the holders of any Covered Registrable Securities and their counsel at least five business days prior to filing with the SEC) and use all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and keep such registration statement effective for the Period of Distribution contemplated thereby and promptly provide counsel to the holders of any Covered Registrable Securities copies of all SEC comment letters or other written SEC communications received with respect thereto; provided, however, that at any time, upon written notice to the participating Holders and for a period not to exceed 60 days thereafter (the “Suspension Period”), the Company may delay the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any registration statement (and the Initiating Holders and Initiating S-3 Holders hereby agree not to offer or sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement during the Suspension Period) if the Company reasonably believes that there is or may be in existence material nonpublic information or events involving the Company, the failure of which to be disclosed in the prospectus included in the registration statement could result in a Violation (as defined below). In the event that the Company shall exercise its right to delay or suspend the filing or effectiveness of a registration hereunder, the applicable time period during which the registration statement is to remain effective shall be extended by a period of time equal to the duration of the Suspension Period. The Company may extend the Suspension Period for an additional consecutive 60 days with the consent of the holders of a majority of the Covered Registrable Securities registered under the applicable registration statement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If so directed by the Company, all Holders registering shares under such registration statement shall (i) not offer to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement during the period in which the delay or suspension is in effect after receiving notice of such delay or suspension, and (ii) use their best efforts to deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holders’ possession, of the prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to file, cause to become effective or maintain the effectiveness of any registration statement other than a registration statement on Form S-3 that contemplates a distribution of securities on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement (advance draft copies of which shall be furnished to the holders of any Covered Registrable Securities and their counsel at least five business days prior to filing with the SEC) as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in subsection (a) above including such amendments and supplements as may be necessary to reflect the intended method of disposition from time-to-time of the holders of the Covered Registrable Securities or to correct or update any misstatements or commissions which, if not corrected or updated, would reasonably be expected to cause the registration statement or the prospectuses used in connection therewith to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements and promptly provide counsel to the holders of any Covered Registrable Securities copies of all SEC comment letters or other written SEC communications received with respect thereto.
(c) Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.
(d) Use its reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may otherwise be required by the Securities Act.
(e) List such Registrable Securities on any national securities exchange on which any shares of the Common Stock are listed or, if the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify such Covered Registrable Securities for inclusion on the automated quotation system of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or on a national securities exchange.
(f) Provide a CUSIP number, transfer agent and registrar for all such Covered Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement.
(g) Enter into such customary agreements and take all such other customary actions as the holders of a majority of the Covered Registrable Securities being sold reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Covered Registrable Securities.
(h) Subject to the execution of confidentiality agreements in customary form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, make available upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, for inspection by the holders of Covered Registrable Securities holding such Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the stockholders or underwriter, all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement.
(i) Permit any holder of Covered Registrable Securities who, in the reasonable judgment of the Company upon advice of counsel, might be deemed to be an underwriter or controlling person of the Company, to participate in the preparation of such registration statement.
(j) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.
(k) Notify each Holder of Covered Registrable Securities promptly after the Company receives notice, or obtains knowledge of, the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation or written threat of any proceeding for such issuance and promptly use reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of such stop order or to obtain its withdrawal.
(l) Notify each Holder of Covered Registrable Securities at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. The Company will use reasonable efforts to amend or supplement such prospectus in order to cause such prospectus not to include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

(a) No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.
(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 hereof that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.
(c) The Company shall have no obligation with respect to any registration requested pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.4 if the number of shares or the anticipated aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be included in the registration does not equal or exceed the number of shares or the anticipated aggregate offering price required to originally trigger the Company’s obligation to initiate such registration as specified in Section 2.2 or Section 2.4 hereof, whichever is applicable.
2.8 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 hereof:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, members, officers and directors of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law (including statutes and common law), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”) by the Company: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement or incorporated reference therein, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement; and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, member, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, member, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration qualifications or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, its officers and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder’s partners, directors or officers or any Person who controls such Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, or partner, director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement or incorporated reference therein, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act (collectively, a “Holder Violation”), in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Holder Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder under an instrument duly executed by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, or partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if it is judicially determined that there was such a Holder Violation; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.8 exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses thereof to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.8 to the extent, and only to the extent, prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.8.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) or Holder Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified
party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder hereunder exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.8 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement and, with respect to liability arising from an offering to which this Section 2.8 would apply that is covered by a registration filed before termination of this Agreement, such termination. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(f) The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 2.8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account equitable considerations referred to in Section 2.8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities or actions in respect thereof shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2, no prospective seller shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds from the sale of the prospective seller’s Covered Registrable Securities in the offering. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentations (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
2.9 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 may be assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities (for so long as such shares remain Registrable Securities) that (a) is a subsidiary, parent, general partner, limited partner, retired partner, member or retired member, or stockholder of a Holder that is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company (including, (i) with respect to MedImmune, to any member of the MedImmune Group, (ii) with respect to HCV VIII, to any member of the HCV Group, (iii) with respect to either MRNA or OBPV, to any member of the OBP Group, and (iv) with respect to either Merlin or Nexus, to any member of the Merlin Group, (b) is a Holder’s family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder, or (c) holds or acquires pursuant to the transfer or assignment at least 20% of the outstanding Registrable Securities (as adjusted for stock splits and combinations) held by such transferor on the date hereof; provided, however, (i) the transferor shall, within 10 days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned (provided that the failure to provide notice within such 10-day period shall not prejudice the right of the transferor to assign his, her or its registration rights hereunder) and (ii) such transferee shall agree to be subject to all restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
2.10 Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. Other than as provided in Section 5.11 hereof, after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of 70% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (the
“Requisite Holders”), enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would grant such holder rights to demand the registration of shares of the Company’s capital stock, or to include such shares in a registration statement that would reduce the number of shares includable by the Holders or that are otherwise more favorable than or pari passu with the rights set forth in this Section 2.
2.11 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. If requested in writing by the underwriters for the Initial Offering of the Company’s securities, each Holder hereby agrees that such Holder shall not sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company not to exceed 180 days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act for the Company’s Initial Offering; provided that all officers and directors of the Company and all holders of 1% or more of the Common Stock (calculated on an as-converted basis) enter into and remain bound by similar agreements and, provided further, however, that the lock-up agreement shall provide that if the managing underwriter releases any shares from the lock-up with respect to such offering prior to the scheduled expiration date, the managing underwriter shall contemporaneously release a pro rata portion of the Registrable Shares from such lock-up.
2.12 Agreement to Furnish Information. Each Holder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter that are consistent with the Holder’s obligations under this Section 2 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, each Holder shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide, within 10 days of such request, such information as may be reasonably required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act. The obligations described in Section 2.11 and this Section 2.12 shall not apply to a Special Registration Statement. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said day period. Each Holder agrees that any transferee of any shares of Registrable Securities shall be bound by Sections 2.11 and 2.12.

In the event one or more of the provisions of this Agreement should, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
5.6 Amendment and Waiver.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided, this Agreement may be amended or modified, and the obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders under this
Agreement may be waived, only upon the written consent of (i) the Company, and (ii) the Requisite Holders.
(b) For the purposes of determining the number of Holders entitled to vote or exercise any rights hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to rely solely on the list of record holders of its stock as maintained by or on behalf of the Company.
(c) Any such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each holder of any securities purchased under this Agreement and outstanding at the time of such amendment (including any securities into which such securities have been converted or exchanged for or which securities have been exercised) and each future holder of all such securities. Each Holder acknowledges that amendments adopted pursuant to this Section 5.6 may have the effect of diminishing or elimination of all rights of such Holder under this Agreement.
5.7 Delays or Omissions. It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by another party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power, or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent, or approval of any kind or character on any party’s part of any breach, default or noncompliance under the Agreement or any waiver on such party’s part of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement, by law, or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

All communications shall be sent (i) if to an Investor, at such Investor’s address set forth on the signature pages hereto or at such other address, electronic or otherwise, as such Investor shall designate by 10 days’ advance written notice to the Company, or (ii) if to any other holder or offeree of any shares of capital stock of the Company, at such address, electronic or otherwise, as such holder or offeree shall have furnished to the Company in writing, and, if such holder has not furnished an address to the Company, then to and at the address of the last holder of such capital stock that has so furnished an address to the Company, or (iii) if to the Company, at its address set forth on the signature page hereof addressed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary, or at such other address as the Company shall designate by 10 days’ advance written notice to the Investors and any other holder of capital stock of the Company.
5.9 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that any suit or action is instituted under or in relation to this Agreement, including without limitation to enforce any provision in this Agreement, the prevailing party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the losing party
all fees, costs and expenses of enforcing any right of such prevailing party under or with respect to this Agreement, including without limitation, such reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants, which shall include, without limitation, all fees, costs and expenses of appeals.
5.10 Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.
5.11 Additional Investors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company shall issue additional shares of Series A-1 Preferred pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, any purchaser of such shares of Series A-1 Preferred shall become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering an additional counterpart signature page to this Agreement and shall be deemed an “Investor,” a “Holder” and a party hereunder.
5.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Signatures delivered via facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as original signatures.
5.13 Aggregation of Stock. All shares of Registrable Securities held or acquired by Affiliates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) all shares of Registrable Securities held or acquired by any member of the HCV Group shall be aggregated for the purpose of determining any member of the HCV Group’s rights under this Agreement including the rights under Section 4, and each such member shall have such rights, (b) all shares of Registrable Securities held or acquired by any member of the OBP Group shall be aggregated for the purpose of determining any member of the OBP Group’s rights under this Agreement including the rights under Section 4, and each such member shall have such rights, and (c) all shares of Registrable Securities held or acquired by any member of the Merlin Group shall be aggregated for the purpose of determining any member of the Merlin Group’s rights under this Agreement including the rights under Section 4, and each such member shall have such rights.
5.14 Interpretation. All pronouns contained herein, and any variations thereof, shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine or neutral, singular or plural, as to the identity of the parties hereto may require. Accounting terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to them under GAAP. The word “including” shall be read in each instance to include the words “without limitation” (or words of similar import).
5.15 Amendment of Prior Agreement. The Prior Agreement is hereby amended and superseded in its entirety by this Agreement. Such amendment and restatement is effective upon the execution of this Agreement by the Company and the parties required for an amendment pursuant to Section 5.6(a) of the Prior Agreement. Upon such execution, all provisions of, rights granted and covenants made in the Prior Agreement are hereby waived, released and superseded in their entirety by the provisions hereof and shall have no further force or effect.
5.16 Exculpation Among Investors. Each party agrees that no Investor nor the respective controlling Persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of any Investor shall be liable to any other party for any action heretofore taken or omitted to be taken by any of
them in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder. Any liability of an Investor for breach hereof shall be limited to such Investor and shall not be joint and several among the other Investors, nor shall knowledge by one Investor be attributed to any other Investor because of such Person’s status as an Investor.
