     This STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of April 23, 2007, is entered into by and between Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and New River Management V, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Purchaser”), for the purchase and sale of 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Shares”).
     WHEREAS, the Purchaser desires to purchase, and the Company desires to sell, the Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions contained herein;
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
Purchase and Sale of Common Stock
     Section 1.1 Purchase and Sale of Common Stock. Upon the following terms and conditions, the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, Three Million Five Hundred Thousand (3,500,000) shares of Common Stock at a price per share of Nine Dollars and Seventeen Cents ($9.17) (the “Per Share Purchase Price”), for an aggregate purchase price of Thirty-Two Million Ninety-Five Thousand Dollars ($32,095,000) (the “Purchase Price”). At the Closing, the parties agree to execute a Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Rights Agreement”).
     Section 1.2 Purchase Price and Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Purchaser and, in consideration of and in express reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to purchase the Shares. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares to be acquired by the Purchaser from the Company under this Agreement shall take place at the offices of the Company’s counsel, DLA Piper US LLP (the “Closing”) at 1:00 PM, San Diego time on the earliest to occur of (i) the date that all of the conditions set forth in Article IV hereof and applicable to the Closing have been fulfilled or waived in accordance herewith, or (ii) at such other time and place or on such date as the Purchaser and the Company may agree upon (the “Closing Date”). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, promptly following Closing, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate registered in the name of the Purchaser representing the number of Shares Purchaser is purchasing pursuant to the terms hereof. At the Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver the Purchase Price by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company.
ARTICLE II
Representations and Warranties
     Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser as follows:

 


 

          (a) Organization, Good Standing and Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted and as described in the documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (all of the foregoing including filings incorporated by reference therein being referred to herein as the “Commission Documents”), since the end of its most recently completed fiscal year through the date hereof, including, without limitation, its most recent report on Form 10-Q. Other than wholly owned subsidiary Halozyme, Inc., a California corporation (the “Subsidiary”), the Company does not own securities of any kind in any other entity. The Company and the Subsidiary are qualified to do business as foreign corporations and are in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by them makes such qualification necessary, except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the aggregate) in which the failure to be so qualified will not have a Material Adverse Effect. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any effect on the business, operations, prospects, properties or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiary that is material and adverse to the Company and its Subsidiary, taken as a whole, and any condition, circumstance or situation that would prohibit the Company from entering into and performing any of its obligations hereunder.
          (b) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to issue and sell the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors or stockholders is required. When executed and delivered by the Company, this Agreement shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
          (c) Issuance of Shares. The Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and, when paid for and issued in accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. In addition, the Shares will be free and clear of all liens, claims, charges, security interests or agreements, pledges, assignments, covenants, restrictions or other encumbrances created by, or applicable to, the Company (collectively, “Encumbrances”) and rights of refusal of any kind (other than restrictions on transfer under applicable securities laws) and the holder of the Shares shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, 71,845,371 shares of the Company’s Common Stock are issued and outstanding.
          (d) No Conflicts; Governmental Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”) or Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), each as amended to date, or

2


 

the Subsidiary’s comparable charter documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company or its Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or its Subsidiary’s respective properties or assets are bound, or (iii) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or its Subsidiary or by which any property or asset of the Company or its Subsidiary are bound or affected, except for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor its Subsidiary is required under federal, state, foreign or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or issue and sell the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof (other than any filings, consents and approvals which may be required to be made by the Company under applicable state and federal securities laws, rules or regulations prior to or subsequent to the Closing).
          (e) Commission Documents, Financial Statements. The Common Stock of the Company is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. During the two year period preceding the Closing Date, the Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the Commission pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (the “SEC Documents”). At the times of their respective filing, all such reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder and other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to such documents. At the times of their respective filings, such reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company currently meets the “registrant eligibility” requirements set forth in the general instructions to Form S-3 to enable the registration of the Common Shares. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the Commission Documents complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements), and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).
          (f) Accountants. Ernst & Young LLP, whose report on the financial statements of the Company is filed with the SEC in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, are independent registered public accountants as required

3


 

by the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (together, the “Securities Act”). Except as described in the SEC Documents and as preapproved in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 10A of the Exchange Act, to the Company’s knowledge, Ernst & Young LLP has not engaged in any non-audit services prohibited by subsection (g) of Section 10A of the Exchange Act on behalf of the Company.
          (g) Internal Controls. The Company has established and maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
          (h) Audit Committee. The Company’s board of directors has validly appointed an Audit Committee whose composition satisfies the requirements of Sections 121 and 803(a) of the AMEX Company Guide and the Board of Directors and/or the Audit Committee has adopted a charter that satisfies the requirements of Section 121 of the AMEX Company Guide. The Audit Committee has reviewed the adequacy of its charter within the past 12 months.
          (i) Disclosure Controls. The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act). Since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. The Company is in compliance in all material respects with all provisions currently in effect and applicable to the Company of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or implementing the provisions thereof.
          (j) No Material Adverse Change. Except as disclosed in the Commission Documents, since December 31, 2006, neither the Company nor its Subsidiary has (i) experienced or suffered any Material Adverse Effect, (ii) incurred any liabilities, obligations, claims or losses (whether liquidated or unliquidated, secured or unsecured, absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) other than those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s or its Subsidiary’s respective businesses or (iii) declared, made or paid any dividend or distribution of any kind on their capital stock.
          (k) No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances. Except as disclosed in the Commission Documents, since December 31, 2006, except for the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, to the Company’s knowledge, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its Subsidiary or their respective businesses, properties, prospects, operations or financial condition, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed.

There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the Company currently pending or that the Company intends to initiate.
          (n) Compliance. Except for defaults or violations which are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor its Subsidiary (i) is in default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or its Subsidiary under), nor has the Company or its Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws applicable to its business.

6


 

registration of any of the Shares under the Securities Act or cause the offering of the Shares to be integrated with other offerings. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser, the offer and sale of the Shares by the Company to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
     Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
          (a) Purchaser Sophistication. The Purchaser represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that the Purchaser (a) is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in making, and is qualified to make decisions with respect to, investments in shares presenting an investment decision like that involved in the purchase of the Shares, including investments in securities issued by the Company and investments in comparable companies, and has requested, received, reviewed and considered all information it deemed relevant in making an informed decision to purchase the Shares and (b) the Purchaser, in connection with its decision to purchase the Shares, relied only upon the Company’s regular reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K as filed by the Company with the Commission, other publicly available information, and the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” pursuant to Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
          (b) Authorization and Power. The Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and to purchase the Shares being sold to it hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no further consent or authorization of such Purchaser or its Board of Directors or stockholders is required. When executed and delivered by the Purchaser, this Agreement shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
          (c) No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the Purchaser’s charter or organizational documents, or (ii) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Purchaser or by which any property or asset of the Purchaser are bound or affected, except, in all cases, other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) (with respect to federal and state securities laws) above, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under the Agreement.
          (d) Restricted Shares. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares are restricted securities and must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the

7


 

Securities Act or the Company receives an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required. The Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of stock purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the stock, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the stock to be sold, the sale being through a “broker’s transaction” or a transaction directly with a “market maker” and the number of shares of the stock being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations. The Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time the Purchaser wishes to sell the Securities and, if so, the Purchaser would be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the one year minimum holding period has been satisfied.
          (e) Short Sales. The Purchaser represents, warrants and agrees that it has not engaged in any short selling of the Company’s securities, or established or increased any “put equivalent position” as defined in Rule 16(a)-1(h) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to the Company’s securities, within the past 30 trading days.

          (b) During the period prior to the Closing Date, each Party shall promptly notify the others of any action, suit or proceeding that is instituted or specifically threatened in writing against such Party to restrain, prohibit or otherwise challenge the legality of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
