AstraZeneca shall not be required to make an increased payment to Tempus where a Tax Deduction is required. AstraZeneca shall cooperate reasonably with Tempus to reduce or recover the Tax Deduction (e.g., by completing prescribed forms) provided that AstraZeneca shall not apply a reduced rate of Tax Deduction unless Tempus has provided evidence, in a form satisfactory to AstraZeneca of authorization to do so.

12.2 Indirect Taxes. All payments under this Agreement are stated exclusive of any Indirect Tax. Accordingly, if any Indirect Tax is chargeable on the recipient of a payment in respect of such payment, the party making such payment shall pay an additional amount equal to such Indirect Tax at the applicable rate in respect of such payment, on the due date of the payment to which such Indirect Tax relates. The Parties shall promptly issue appropriate Indirect Tax invoices in respect of all goods and services supplied under this Agreement consistent with applicable Indirect Tax requirements, and to the extent an invoice is not initially issued in an appropriate form, they shall cooperate to provide such information or assistance as may be necessary to enable the issuance of such invoice consistent with Indirect Tax requirements.

(a) [***];

(b) [***];

(c) for convenience at any time, provided that where at the effective date of the termination of this Agreement AstraZeneca has not fulfilled its Financial Commitment in accordance with Exhibit E, then AstraZeneca will be liable to pay Tempus the balance of its unfulfilled Financial Commitment, i.e., the unfulfilled portion of two hundred million dollars ($200,000,000) if the MC Extension Option has not been exercised, or three hundred million dollars ($300,000,000) if the MC Extension Option has been exercised;

(d) (i) Tempus or one of Tempus’ employees is convicted of a crime involving pharmaceutical counterfeiting, diversion or illegal trade, (ii) there is sufficient evidence of Tempus’ involvement in counterfeiting, diversion or illegal trade, and the involvement was either knowing or the result of a failure to establish necessary preventative controls, or (iii) there is a publicly announced investigation by a Regulatory Authority relating to any suspected or actual violation of Applicable Laws relating to anti-corruption or anti-bribery by Tempus or any Affiliates, consultants, agents, representatives or sub-contractors of Tempus or its Affiliates connected with this Agreement; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, AstraZeneca shall also be permitted to retain such additional copies of or any

 

25


computer records or files containing such Tempus Materials that have been created solely by AstraZeneca’s automatic archiving and back-up procedures, to the extent created and retained in a manner consistent with AstraZeneca’s standard archiving and back-up procedures, but not for any other use or purpose.

AstraZeneca shall not, and shall ensure that the AstraZeneca Affiliates do not, offer any inducements to Tempus, any of their Affiliates, their volunteers, or any health care providers relating to this Agreement.

20.3 Any physician licensed to practice in the U.S. and any U.S. teaching hospital is a “Covered Recipient.” A “Payment or Transfer of Value” is any payment or transfer of value as defined in the U.S. Physician Payment Sunshine Act (42 USC 1320a-7h(e)) and implementing regulations (42 CFR 403.900 et seq.), and includes compensation, reimbursement for expenses, meals, travel, medical journal reprints, study drug study supplies and medical writing and publications assistance. Tempus acknowledges and agrees that any direct or indirect Payments or Transfers of Value to Covered Recipients are subject to transparency reporting requirements, including disclosure on AstraZeneca’s website.

20.5 The Parties mutually acknowledge and agree that (i) any rights granted and Services to be provided by Tempus to AstraZeneca under this Agreement do not reflect remuneration in exchange for data in a manner that constitutes a prohibited sale of PHI (as defined by HIPAA) under HIPAA; and (ii) any fees to be paid by AstraZeneca or any of its Affiliate hereunder or in any Statement of Work are intended to reflect the fair market value of the rights and Services to be received and do not reflect remuneration in exchange for data in a manner that constitutes a prohibited sale of PHI under HIPAA.

22.1 AstraZeneca shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tempus and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Tempus Indemnified Parties”), from any and all liabilities, judgments, costs, losses, fines, penalties, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) (collectively, “Liabilities”), in connection with any claim, suit, action, investigation, or other proceeding brought or threatened by a third party (including a Regulatory Authority) against any of the Tempus Indemnified Parties, and relating to, based upon or arising out of or in connection with [***].

22.3 With respect to indemnification claims, the following procedures shall apply:

(a) Promptly after receipt by a Party (the “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement or threatened commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim for which such Indemnified Party will seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 22, such Indemnified Party shall notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of such claim in writing. No failure to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall relieve it of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that it can demonstrate damages or prejudice attributable to such failure. Within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party relating to any claim, but not later than fifteen (15) days before the date on which any response to a complaint or summons is due, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party in writing if the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the defense and settlement of that claim (a “Notice of Election”).

(b) If the Indemnifying Party delivers a Notice of Election relating to any claim within the required notice period, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to have sole control over the defense and settlement of such claim; provided that (A) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel at its own expense to assist in the handling of such claim, and (B) the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of such claim or ceasing to defend against such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be required to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party in the settlement of any claim for

 

31


which the Indemnifying Party has delivered a timely Notice of Election if such amount was agreed to without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver a Notice of Election relating to any claim within the required notice period, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend the claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party for all such costs and expenses including but not limited to any and all reasonable counsel fees.

 

23.

Disclaimers; Limitation of Liability.

IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST REVENUES OR PROFITS, OR OTHER INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES PERFORMED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF THAT PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

The Parties agree that the disclaimers, exclusions and limitations of liability in this Agreement are an essential basis of the bargain between the Parties and, absent any of such disclaimers, exclusions or limitations of liability, the provisions of this Agreement, including the economic terms, would be substantially different.

 

24.

Without limitation, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the nature of the discussions and the relationship between the Parties, and the terms of any commercial transaction between the Parties, including pricing for any deliverable or service of Tempus, shall be considered Confidential Information of each Party (and each Party shall be deemed the Discloser and Recipient thereof). Confidential Information shall not include information that is (a) part of or becomes part of the public domain (other than by disclosure by the Recipient in violation of this Agreement); (b) previously known to the Recipient without an obligation of confidentiality; (c) independently developed by the Recipient outside this Agreement; or (d) rightfully obtained by the Recipient from third parties without an obligation of confidentiality.

Without limiting the license set forth in Section 13.2(c), all Tempus Materials shall be the Confidential Information of Tempus and Tempus shall be deemed the Discloser and AstraZeneca the Recipient in respect thereof.

 

32


24.2 For the Term of this Agreement and for [***], each Party agrees that it shall: (i) take reasonable measures to protect the Confidential Information of the other Party by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination or publication of the Confidential Information of the other Party as the Recipient uses to protect its own confidential information of a like nature, (ii) limit disclosure to those persons within Recipient’s organization with a need to know and who have previously agreed in writing, prior to receipt of Confidential Information of the other Party either as a condition of their employment or in order to obtain the Confidential Information, to obligations similar to the provisions hereof, (iii) not copy, reverse engineer, disassemble, create any works from, or decompile any prototypes, software or other tangible objects which embody the Confidential Information of the other Party or which are provided to the Party hereunder, and (iv) not use the Confidential Information of the other Party for any purpose other than to perform or receive (as applicable) the Services or Deliverables hereunder.

24.3 AstraZeneca may disclose Confidential Information of Tempus, [***] to the extent such disclosure is:

(a) made to a Regulatory Authority as required in connection with any filing, application or request for Regulatory Approval, if such Confidential Information is marked as confidential and proprietary; or

(b) made to a patent authority as may be reasonably necessary or useful for the purposes of obtaining or enforcing a patent.

24.4 [***].

24.5 Each Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party, including Licensed Data to the extent in response to a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other Regulatory Authority of competent jurisdiction or, if in the reasonable opinion of the receiving Party’s legal counsel, such disclosure is otherwise required by Applicable Law, including by reason of filing with securities regulators; provided, however, that the receiving Party shall first have given notice to the disclosing Party and given the disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to quash such order or to obtain a protective order or confidential treatment requiring that the Confidential Information and documents that are the subject of such order be held in confidence by such court or agency or, if disclosed, be used only for the purposes for which the order was issued; and provided further that the Confidential Information disclosed in response to such court or governmental order shall be limited to that information which is legally required to be disclosed in response to such court or governmental order.

24.6 Neither Tempus nor AstraZeneca have the right to make public statements regarding the existence of this Agreement, its terms and conditions or the services being supplied without the consent of the other Party. Neither Party may use the other Party’s name or mark for any purpose unless a Party has consent in writing. After the execution of this Agreement, the Parties will negotiate in good faith the issuance of a joint press release (“Press Release”) on a mutually agreed upon date. Each Party will have the right to approve the Press Release in advance. Any Press Release will require approval of both Parties and, for AstraZeneca, will require approval from AstraZeneca’s Corporate Affairs department. The restriction on the Parties’ ability to make

 

33


public statements regarding the existence of this Agreement and its terms and use of the other Party’s name or mark shall not apply to the extent that a Party is otherwise required to make such disclosure pursuant to (i) any requirement under Applicable Law (including U.S. securities laws), or (ii) in connection with enforcing its rights under this Agreement.

 

25.

Assignment.

Tempus shall not assign, transfer, delegate, or subcontract any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of AstraZeneca, except in the case of an assignment or transfer of this Agreement in its entirety that is effected in conjunction with the transfer by sale, merger, or otherwise of all or substantially all of Tempus’ assets, provided that

 

34


(a) Tempus provides written notice in relation to such proposed assignment or transfer, and (b) the successor organization assumes this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all of its existing terms in an assumption agreement entered into directly with AstraZeneca. Any such purported assignment, transfer or delegation in violation of this Section 26 shall be null and void. No assignment, transfer or delegation shall relieve Tempus of any of its obligations hereunder. AstraZeneca may at any time assign or transfer any or all of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without Tempus’ prior written consent; if the successor organization assumes this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all of its terms, including all remaining Financial Commitment.

 

27.

Force Majeure.

Neither Party shall be liable or responsible to the other Party, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, when and to the extent such Party’s (the “Impacted Party”) failure or delay is caused by or results from the following force majeure events (each a “Force Majeure Event”): (a) acts of God; (b) flood, fire, earthquake, or explosion; (c) pandemic, or epidemic (d) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest; (e) government order, law, or action; (f) embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; (g) national or regional emergency; and (h) strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances; (i) shortage of adequate power or transportation facilities; and (j) other similar events beyond the reasonable control of the Impacted Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tempus’ financial inability to perform, changes in cost or availability of materials, components or services, market conditions, or Tempus actions or contract disputes will not excuse performance by Tempus under this Section 27.

The Impacted Party shall give notice within two (2) days of the Force Majeure Event to the other Party, stating the period of time the occurrence is expected to continue. The Impacted Party shall use diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of such Force Majeure Event are minimized. The Impacted Party shall resume the performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause. In the event that the Impacted Party’s failure or delay remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days following written notice given by it under this Section 27, the other Party may thereafter terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice, subject to the provisions of 16.8.

If Tempus is prevented from, or delayed, in performing fully any of its obligations under this Agreement by a Force Majeure Event, with respect to those parts of the Services, Deliverables, Licensed Data and any other elements not received by AstraZeneca or in respect of which AstraZeneca is not able to receive the full benefit (for example, if full use of certain Licensed Data or Deliverables is dependent upon the receipt of Services that are so prevented or delayed), without limiting any other right or remedy, AstraZeneca (a) may suspend payment normally due to Tempus in respect of such affected Services, Deliverables, Licensed Data or other elements, until such time as Tempus has given written notice to AstraZeneca that it is able to resume performance in accordance with this Agreement; and (b) if AstraZeneca has paid for such affected Services, Deliverables, Licensed Data or other elements in advance of such time as performance was so prevented or delayed, AstraZeneca may (at its option) on notice to Tempus

 

35


require a refund from Tempus of such advance payment or reallocation of such advance payment to other Services, Deliverables, Licensed Data or other elements, the specification of which shall be agreed between the Parties by way of a new or amended Statement of Work.

 

28.

Audit Rights.

28.1 For the Term [***], Tempus shall for the purpose of auditing and monitoring its performance of this Agreement grant (or procure the grant) to AstraZeneca, Affiliates of AstraZeneca, any auditors of any of them and any Regulatory Authority the right of access to any premises of Tempus, its Affiliates or any sub-contractors used in connection with this Agreement, together with a right to access personnel, systems, processes and records (including financial records) that relate to this Agreement, subject to Tempus’ reasonable processes and procedures (e.g., regarding security and confidentiality). Audits may be undertaken once a year for each audit type, except that there shall be no such limitation to the number of audits per year to the extent an audit is undertaken as a result of an alleged breach of any of the provisions in this Agreement or a re-audit is required. Audits shall normally be agreed in advance, however, in the event of an alleged breach of this Agreement audits may be conducted unannounced. To the extent that any audit under this Section 28.1 or any other provision of this Agreement by AstraZeneca requires access and review of any commercially or strategically sensitive information relating to the business of Tempus, its Affiliates or any sub-contractors, such activity shall be carried out by non-Affiliate third party professional advisors appointed by AstraZeneca, and such professional advisors shall only report back to AstraZeneca such information as is directly relevant to informing AstraZeneca on compliance with the particular provisions that are the subject of the audit.

28.2 Tempus shall provide or procure all cooperation and assistance during normal working hours reasonably required by AstraZeneca for the purposes of an audit. AstraZeneca shall procure that any auditor enters into a confidentiality agreement equivalent to Section 24 in all material respects. AstraZeneca shall instruct any auditor or other person given access in respect of an audit to cause the minimum amount of disruption to the business of Tempus, its Affiliates and sub-contractors and to comply with relevant building and security regulations.

28.3 Tempus acknowledges that AstraZeneca has policies and procedures in place to monitor and review performance by its third party partners and contractors. Tempus shall cooperate with AstraZeneca in relation to such monitoring and review, and shall supply all information relating to this Agreement reasonably required by AstraZeneca (or to its non-Affiliate third party professional advisors, in the case of commercially or strategically sensitive information relating to the business of Tempus, its Affiliates or any sub-contractors).

28.4 Each Party shall bear its own costs of an audit or rendering assistance under this Section 28. Any report generated in connection with any such audit conducted in relation to Section 7.1, shall be the property of Tempus. However, Tempus agrees that AstraZeneca shall be entitled to review any such audit report and all supporting documents in relation to the audit.

 

29.

Monitoring.

 

36


AstraZeneca has policies and procedures in place to monitor and review performance by its third party contractors. Tempus shall cooperate with AstraZeneca in relation to such monitoring and review and shall supply all information relating to this Agreement reasonably required by AstraZeneca (or to its non-Affiliate third party professional advisors, in the case of commercially or strategically sensitive information relating to the business of Tempus or any subcontractors).

 

30.

Miscellaneous.

30.1 This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings with respect thereto, including the Existing MSA and all associated statements of work, which shall be terminated as of the Effective Date, provided, however that any Existing Statements of Work identified in Exhibit F shall continue under the terms of this Agreement.

30.2 This Agreement may only be amended by a writing signed by both Parties.

30.3 The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, unenforceable, or otherwise illegal, such provision shall be deemed restated, in accordance with Applicable Law, to reflect as nearly as possible the original intentions of the Parties, and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

30.4 This Agreement and all related documents including all Exhibits attached hereto, and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether sounding in contract, tort, or statute are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation, or proceeding of any kind whatsoever against the other Party in any way arising from or relating to this Agreement, including all exhibits, Exhibits, attachments, and appendices attached to this Agreement, and all contemplated transactions, including contract, equity, tort, fraud, and statutory claims, in any forum other than the courts of the State of Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation, or proceeding is conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

30.5 This Agreement and any Statements of Work may be executed in counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original and which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Signatures transmitted by facsimile or scanned into .PDF (or similar) format and transmitted via electronic mail, and electronic signatures (whether digital or encrypted) shall all constitute original signatures.

2.4.1 If at any time: (a) a Security Incident has occurred; (b) there is a reasonably likely risk to security of the IT Infrastructure and Data in the future that may negatively impact this Agreement, the Services or any Service Recipient; or (c) an audit undertaken by or on behalf of AstraZeneca, the Supplier or a third party identifies a Security Issue, the Supplier will promptly propose a rectification plan to remedy the Security Issue. All rectification plans will (unless otherwise agreed in writing by AstraZeneca) require the Supplier (and any relevant Supplier Party) to, at the Supplier’s cost, deploy such resources and take such actions that are reasonably necessary to rectify the relevant Security Issue or any vulnerabilities or underlying issues arising or ensure that the Security Measures are being met. The Supplier will give AstraZeneca reasonable opportunity to comment on the proposed rectification plan and will amend any proposed rectification plan to reflect all of AstraZeneca’s reasonable comments and additional steps that AstraZeneca may reasonably require and then, at the Supplier’s cost, implement the amended rectification plan as soon as possible.

3. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO CONFIDENTIALITY AND ANNOUNCEMENTS IN RESPECT OF SECURITY INCIDENTS

The Supplier will not and will procure that all Supplier Parties will not, without AstraZeneca’s prior written consent, make or permit any announcement or public communication in respect of a Security Incident or issue any information to any third party (or otherwise permit the publication of information) about any Security Incident which relates to this Agreement or to a Service Recipient unless: (a) instructed to do so by AstraZeneca (in a form approved by AstraZeneca); or (b) compelled to do so by Applicable Law or a Regulator (and in such case the Supplier will notify AstraZeneca in writing of its obligation to do so unless prevented by Applicable Law in which case it will notify AstraZeneca as soon as it is able to).

4. ADDITIONAL PROVISION RELATING TO LIABILITY

4.1 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Supplier’s liability under or in connection with this CSRE shall be unlimited.

5. AUDIT RIGHTS AND INFORMATION SHARING

5.1 AstraZeneca may audit Supplier and the other Supplier Parties to verify compliance with this CSRE. Such audit will typically comprise a security assessment form that the Supplier will

 

47


need to populate and share relevant details so as to demonstrate its compliance with the technical and security measures agreed under this CSRE. However, in the event of a suspected breach or in case of a mandate from a Regulator or to verify the cyber security controls in place, AstraZeneca shall have the right to carry out a physical audit of Supplier’s premises to access the IT Infrastructure, subject to Supplier’s reasonable policies and procedures (e.g., regarding security and confidentiality). Supplier shall reasonably cooperate with AstraZeneca in relation to such audit, including allowing reasonable access to the Supplier Parties’ IT Infrastructure and providing such information as AstraZeneca reasonably requires.

5.2 AstraZeneca shall not conduct such audits more than once per year unless there has been a suspected breach or if there is a regulatory requirement. AstraZeneca shall bear the cost of the audit limited to the professional fees, except where the audit reveals any material breach or discrepancy in which case Supplier shall bear such costs.

2.1 Exercise. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time (i) during the Exercise Period, or (ii) pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, by delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth on the signature page hereto (or at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder):

(a) an executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A;

(b) subject to Section 2.2, payment of the Exercise Price in cash or by check or wire transfer; and

(c) this Warrant.

2.2 Net Issue Exercise.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, without the payment by the Holder of any cash by the surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and instructing the Company to withhold and cancel a number of Exercise Shares requested to be exercised having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the total Exercise Price, as determined below (a “Net Issue Exercise”). The Company agrees that the number of Exercise Shares set forth in the formula below shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record holder of such Warrant Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered as aforesaid. Upon such exercise, the Company shall issue to Holder a number of Exercise Shares computed as of the date of surrender of this Warrant to the Company using the following formula:

 

X=

   Y(A-B)
       A

 

Where X =    the number of Exercise Shares to be issued to Holder under this Section 2.2;
   Y =    the number of Exercise Shares to be the subject of the Net Issue Exercise;

 

 

 

3.


   A =   

the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one Exercise Share at the date of such calculation; and

   B =   

the Exercise Price.

(b) For purposes of Section 2.2(a), “Fair Market Value” of one Exercise Share as of any date shall be calculated as follows: (i) if the Warrant is exercised other than in connection with a Change of Control and the Common Stock is then traded or quoted on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market, the Fair Market Value of an Exercise Share shall be the closing price of a share of Common Stock reported for the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company, (ii) if the Warrant is exercised in connection with a Change of Control, the Fair Market Value of an Exercise Share shall be the purchase price per share of Common Stock to be paid by the purchaser in such Change of Control, and (iii) in all other cases, the Fair Market Value of an Exercise Share shall be the fair market value per Exercise Share on the date such notice was received by the Company as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

2.3 Mechanics of Exercise. Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Exercise Shares so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder or Persons affiliated with the Holder, if the Holder so designates, shall be issued and delivered to the Holder within a reasonable time (but no later than fifteen (15) days) after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised. In the event that this Warrant is being exercised for less than all of the then-current number of Exercise Shares purchasable hereunder, the Company shall, concurrently with the issuance by the Company of the number of Exercise Shares for which this Warrant is then being exercised, issue a new Warrant exercisable for the remaining number of Exercise Shares purchasable hereunder. The Person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

3. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

3.1 Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times during the Exercise Period have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of the series of equity securities comprising the Exercise Shares to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. The issuance of the Exercise Shares will not be subject to any preemptive rights that have not been properly complied with.

3.2 Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class and/or series of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least ten days prior to the date specified herein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.

3.3 Registration Rights. Upon the earlier of (i) the date that the Company consummates an IPO or a De-SPAC Transaction, and (ii) December 31, 2022, the Company covenants and agrees to grant to the Holder substantially the same registration rights with respect to the Exercise Shares as those granted to holders of Registrable Securities (as defined in the Ninth Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement, dated November 19, 2020, by and among the Company and the stockholders of the Company party thereto (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Rights Agreement”)) in accordance with, and subject to the limitations set forth in, Section 2 of the Rights Agreement, and the Company shall include the Holder in all notices sent by the Company pursuant to Section 2 of the Rights Agreement. For purposes of determining the Holder’s participation rights in connection with the registration of any Registrable Securities in accordance with the Rights Agreement (i) the Holder shall be deemed to be an “Investor” and a “Holder” under the Rights Agreement for all purposes under Section 2 of the Rights Agreement and (ii) all of the Exercise Shares shall constitute Registrable Securities under the Rights Agreement and shall be deemed to be held by the Holder for purposes of determining the Holder’s participation rights, whether or not the Holder has exercised its purchase rights under this Warrant with respect to any of the Exercise Shares.

At any time, and from time to time, prior to the Company consummating an IPO or a De-SPAC Transaction, if the Holder has determined in good faith that it is contemplating exercising the Warrant in whole or in part, upon written request from the Holder to the Company, the Company shall provide such documents, records and other diligence materials reasonably requested by the Holder to allow the Holder to conduct limited due diligence on the Company reasonably necessary to determine the value of the Exercise Shares, to confirm that the Company is in good standing and to ascertain its corporate structure and capitalization; provided, that following such written request, the Holder shall enter into a customary confidentiality agreement with the Company prior to the Company providing such diligence materials to the Holder.

3.5 Antitrust Approval. If any clearance is required under the HSR Act or such other applicable laws for the exercise of this Warrant and the purchase of the Exercise Shares (any such clearance, an “Antitrust Approval”), the Company and the Holder shall cooperate in good faith to as promptly as practicable (i) file with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice the premerger notification and report form, if any, required as a result of the purchase of the Exercise Shares, and shall include any supplemental information requested in connection therewith, pursuant to the HSR Act and (ii) make such other filings as are necessary or advisable in other jurisdictions in order to comply with all applicable laws relating to competition, merger control or antitrust and shall promptly provide any supplemental information requested by applicable governmental authorities relating thereto.

The Holder realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, the Holder has a present intention of acquiring the securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the securities. The Holder has no such present intention.

(b) The Holder recognizes that this Warrant and the Exercise Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available.

(c) The Holder is aware that neither this Warrant nor the Exercise Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Act unless certain conditions are met, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three month period not exceeding specified limitations. Holder is aware that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the Company presently has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future.

4.3 Disposition of Warrant and Exercise Shares.

(a) The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of this Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event, other than to an Affiliate of the Holder, unless and until:

(i) The Company shall have received a letter secured by the Holder from the Commission stating that no action will be recommended to the Commission with respect to the proposed disposition;

(ii) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement; or

(iii) The 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 if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Warrant or Exercise Shares under the Act or any applicable state securities laws. The Company agrees that it will not require an opinion of counsel with respect to transactions under Rule 144 of the Act, except in unusual circumstances, and will not require an opinion of counsel with respect to any transfer to an Affiliate of Holder.

(b) The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the following legend:

 

6.


THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT.

4.4 Accredited Investor Status. The Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

5. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF EXERCISE SHARES.

5.1 Changes in Securities.

The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant.

5.2 Organic Changes. In the event of, at any time during the Exercise Period, any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other than (a) a change in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares, or (b) a Change in Control) (an “Organic Change”), then, as a condition of such Organic Change, lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the Exercise Shares of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby) such shares of stock, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Exercise Shares equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, and the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted so that the Aggregate Exercise Price after such Organic Change shall be equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price immediately prior to such Organic Change.

6. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of one Exercise Share by such fraction.

8.2 Voluntary Exercise Upon IPO or De-SPAC Transaction.

(a) In the event (i) the Company consummates an IPO or De-SPAC Transaction prior to December 31, 2024 and prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, and (ii) the average of the closing price of shares of Common Stock during any period of 30 consecutive trading days commencing on any date following the first anniversary of the date on which the Company consummates the IPO or De-SPAC Transaction equals or exceeds two (2) times the IPO Price or De-SPAC Price (the “Relevant Period”), then, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holder of such event.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, effective as of the last trading day of the Relevant Period, provided that if the closing price of shares of Common Stock on such day is less than two (2) times the IPO Price or De-SPAC Price, then this provision shall not be effective until the first trading day thereafter on which the closing price of shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds two (2) times the IPO Price or De-SPAC Price (such trading day, the “Relevant Trading Day”), the Holder may, at its sole option, elect to either:

(i) Net Issue Exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 2.2 above, and solely in such event, the number of Exercise Shares issued to the Holder as a result of such Net Issue Exercise shall thereafter be immediately repurchased by the Company from the Holder at a purchase price per share, payable in cash, equal to the closing price of shares of Common Stock on the Relevant Trading Day, and any portion of this Warrant that is not exercised shall remain outstanding subject to the terms hereof; or

(ii) continue to hold this Warrant and exercise it in Holder’s sole discretion in accordance with Section 2.1 or 2.2 above;

provided, however, that in either case, effective as of the Relevant Trading Day, the Holder shall be obligated to exercise the MC Extension Option (as defined in and pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the Collaboration Agreement.

8.3 Voluntary Exercise at Expiration. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, if as of the conclusion of the Exercise Period, the Holder has exercised the MC Extension Option and this Warrant remains outstanding, then the Company shall send a written notice to the Holder of the conclusion of the Exercise Period, and the Holder shall have fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of such written notice to exercise the Warrant.

8.4 Voluntary Early Termination or Cancellation. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, at any time prior to the consummation of an IPO or De-SPAC Transaction, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, terminate and cancel this Warrant and all of the Holder’s and the Company’s obligations hereunder in their entirety (but not partially) (such event, a “Voluntary Early Termination”), and such Voluntary Early Termination shall not otherwise affect the Holder’s right to decide in its sole discretion whether to exercise the MC Extension Option pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement.

8.5 Automatic Early Termination or Cancellation. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, if the Holder has not exercised the MC Extension Option on or before December 31, 2024 in accordance with the Collaboration Agreement such that the Holder is not obligated

 

8.


to commit the final $100,000,000 in funding pursuant to the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, then this Warrant shall automatically be cancelled and terminated for no consideration.

8.6 Collaboration Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, the Holder hereby agrees that in the event that the Holder has exercised this Warrant in whole or in part at any time pursuant to the terms set forth herein, the Holder shall be deemed to have exercised the MC Extension Option pursuant to the terms of the Collaboration Agreement.

9. MARKET STAND-OFF AGREEMENT. Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the registration by the Company of shares of its Common Stock or any other equity securities under the Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 in connection with the IPO, and ending on the date specified by the Company (as determined by the holders of capital stock of the Company representing a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company) and the managing underwriter (which period may exceed 180 days), (a) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Common Stock held immediately before the effective date of the registration statement for such offering, or (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 9 shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement and shall be applicable to the Holder only if all executive officers and directors of the Company are subject to the same restrictions. The underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 9 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are consistent with this Section 9 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.

10. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to vote or receive dividends or other distributions with respect to, or be deemed the holder of, the Exercise Shares or any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable upon the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any other matter submitted to the stockholders of the Company at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance or reclassification of equity securities, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive purchase or subscription rights or otherwise, until the Warrant shall have been exercised as provided herein. For clarity, this Section 10 shall be construed as limiting the rights of the Holder only with respect to the Warrant, the Exercise Shares and other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable upon the exercise hereof for any purpose, and shall not be construed as limiting the rights of the Holder with respect to any other securities of the Company.

11. TRANSFER OF WARRANT. This Warrant is not transferable, in whole or in part, by the Holder (other than to an Affiliate of the Holder) without the prior written consent of the Company, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void. A change in control of the Holder, for example by merger, sale of stock or sale of assets, shall not be deemed to be an assignment under this Warrant. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, applicable laws and the restriction on transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant, in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the Holder shall deliver this

 

9.


Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto as EXHIBIT B to the Company, and the transferee shall sign an investment representation letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Company.

12. LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

13. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. The rights and remedies provided in this Warrant are cumulative and are not exclusive of, and are in addition to and not in substitution for, any other rights or remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise.

14. EQUITABLE RELIEF. Each of the Company and the Holder acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under this Warrant would give rise to irreparable harm to the other party hereto for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such party of any such obligations, the other party hereto shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction.

15. NOTICES, ETC. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by electronic transmission or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, (c) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to each of the Company and the Holder at the address listed on their respective signature pages hereto or at such other address as the Company or Holder may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to the other party.

16. SUCCESSOR AND ASSIGNS. This Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder. Such successors and/or permitted assigns of the Holder shall be deemed to be a Holder for all purposes hereunder.

17. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Warrant is for the sole benefit of the Company and the Holder and their respective successors and, in the case of the Holder, permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Warrant.

18. HEADINGS. The headings in this Warrant are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Warrant.

19. AMENDMENT AND MODIFICATION; WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Warrant may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver by the Company or the Holder of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by

 

10.


such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Warrant shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

20. SEVERABILITY. If any term or provision of this Warrant is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Warrant or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

21. ACCEPTANCE. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.

22. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant and all rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware as applied to agreements among Delaware residents, made and to be performed entirely within the State of Delaware without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles.

23. COUNTERPARTS. This Warrant may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or other applicable law) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered will be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
