THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, [__________] (the “Investor”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date set forth in Section 2 below and on or prior to the close of business on the date ten (10) years after the date hereof; but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase, from CASTLE BIOSCIENCES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), [_______] shares of Series E‑1 Preferred Stock of the Company at a purchase price of $[____] per share.

This Warrant is one of the Warrants issued pursuant to that Amendment No. 1 to Convertible Subordinated Promissory Notes of even date herewith by and among the Company and the Note Holders (as defined therein) (the “Notes Amendment”).

1.          Title of Warrant. Prior to the expiration hereof and subject to compliance with applicable laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, at the office or agency of the Company, referred to in Section 2 hereof; by the holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant together with the Assignment Form annexed hereto properly endorsed.

2.          Exercise of Warrant. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable by the registered holder hereof; in whole or in part, at any time (i) after the Initial Closing (as defined in that Series E‑1, Series E-2 and Series E-3 Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith by and among the Company and the Investors (as defined therein)) and (ii) before the close of business on the date ten (10) years after the date hereof, by the surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise annexed hereto duly executed at the office of the Company, in Friendswood, Texas (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered holder hereof at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company), and upon payment of the purchase price of the shares thereby purchased (by cash or by check or bank draft payable to the order of the Company or by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the holder hereof, if any, at the time of exercise in an amount equal to the purchase price of the shares thereby purchased); whereupon the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of shares of Series E‑1 Preferred Stock so purchased. The Company agrees that if at the time of the surrender of this Warrant and purchase the holder hereof shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant, the shares so purchased shall be and be deemed to be issued to such holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid.

Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the holder hereof within a reasonable time after the date on which this Warrant shall have been exercised as aforesaid.

The Company covenants that all shares of Series E‑1 Preferred Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof.

3.          No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon the exercise of this Warrant, an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the then current price at which each share may be purchased hereunder shall be paid in cash to the holder of this Warrant.

4.          Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for shares of Series E‑1 Preferred Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder hereof for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the holder of this Warrant or in such name or names as may be directed by the holder of this Warrant; provided, however, that in the event certificates for shares of Series E‑1 Preferred Stock are to be issued in a name other than the name of the holder of this Warrant, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the holder hereof; and provided further, that upon any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for shares of Series E‑1 Preferred Stock, the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

5.          No Rights as Stockholders. This Warrant does not entitle the holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise thereof.

6.          Exchange and Registry of Warrant. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the registered holder at the above-mentioned office or agency of the Company, for a new Warrant of like tenor and dated as of such exchange.

The Company shall maintain at the above-mentioned office or agency a registry showing the name and address of the registered holder of this Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange, transfer or exercise, in accordance with its terms, at such office or agency of the Company, and the Company shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.

7.          Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of this Warrant.

8.          Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday or a Sunday or shall be a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a legal holiday.

9.          Early Termination and Dilution.

(a)          Merger, Sale of Assets, etc. If at any time the Company proposes to (i) consolidate with, merge with, sell or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any other corporation, or effect some other form of reorganization, or (ii) effect a registered public offering of its shares, then the Company shall give the holder of this Warrant thirty days notice of the proposed effective date of such transaction and if the Warrant has not been exercised by the effective date of such transaction it shall terminate.

(b)          Reclassification, etc. If the Company at any time shall, by subdivision, combination or reclassification of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter be to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision, combination, reclassification or other change. If shares of the Company’s Series E‑1 Preferred Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Series E‑1 Preferred Stock, the purchase price under this Warrant shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in both cases by the ratio which the total number of shares of Series E‑1 Preferred Stock to be outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Series E‑1 Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(c)          Cash Distributions. No adjustment on account of cash dividends or interest on the Company’s Series E‑1 Preferred Stock or other securities purchasable hereunder will be made to the purchase price under this Warrant.

(d)          Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is outstanding and exercisable, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Series E‑1 Preferred Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Series E‑1 Preferred Stock upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of the Company’s Series E‑1 Preferred Stock upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.

10.          Miscellaneous.

(a)          Issue Date. The provisions of this Warrant shall be construed and shall be given effect in all respects as if it had been issued and delivered by the Company on the date hereof. This Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of the Company. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

(b)          Restrictions. The holder hereof acknowledges that the Series E‑1 Preferred Stock acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant may have restrictions upon its resale imposed by state and federal securities laws or pursuant to Company contracts.

(c)          Waivers and Amendments. With the consent of the Holders (as defined below) holding rights to purchase more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares issuable upon exercise of the then outstanding Warrants (as defined below), the obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely), and with the same consent the Company may enter into a supplementary agreement for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Warrants; provided, however, that no such waiver or supplemental agreement shall reduce the aforesaid percentage which is required for consent to any waiver or supplemental agreement, without the consent of all of the Holders of the then outstanding Warrants. As used in this paragraph 10(c), (i) “Warrants” shall mean the “Warrants” as issued pursuant to and defined in the Notes Amendment, and (ii) the “Holders” shall be the record holders of the Warrants.
