2.1Private Placement. Neither Foghorn nor any person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under any circumstances that would require registration of the Shares under the Securities Act. Subject to the accuracy of the representations made by Lilly in Section 3, the Shares will be issued and sold to Lilly in compliance with applicable exemptions from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the registration and qualification requirements of all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States.

the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, respectively, with full corporate power and authority to conduct its business as currently conducted. Foghorn is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Foghorn. True and correct copies of Foghorn’s third amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”), as in effect on the Execution Date, are each filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to the SEC Documents (as defined below).

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Foghorn and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the issuance of the Shares) have been duly authorized by the Board and no further consent or authorization of Foghorn, the Board or Foghorn’s stockholders is required in connection therewith. This Agreement has been duly executed by Foghorn and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Foghorn enforceable against Foghorn in accordance with its terms, except as (a) enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally, and (b) enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity.
2.4Issuance of Shares. The Shares are duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of stockholders of Foghorn.
2.5SEC Documents; Financial Statements.
(a)The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. Foghorn has delivered or made available (by filing on the SEC's electronic data gathering and retrieval system (EDGAR)) to Lilly complete copies of its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, its most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and any current report on Form 8-K, in each case filed with the SEC after January 1, 2020 and prior to the Execution Date (the “SEC Documents”). As of its date, or if amended, as of the date of the last such amendment, each SEC Document complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to it, and, as of its date, or if amended, as of the date of the last such amendment, such SEC Document 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.
(b)As of their respective dates and for the respective periods indicated, the financial statements, together with the related notes and schedules, of Foghorn included in the SEC Documents comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC and all other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements, together with the related notes and schedules, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial
    3






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 financial condition of Foghorn and its consolidated subsidiaries 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).
(c)The Common Stock, when issued, will be listed on Nasdaq, and Foghorn has taken no action designed to, or is reasonably likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or delisting the Common Stock from Nasdaq. Foghorn has not received any notification that, and has no knowledge that, the SEC or Nasdaq is contemplating terminating such registration or listing.
2.6Internal Controls; Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As of the Execution Date, neither Foghorn nor its Subsidiary have received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of, or non-compliance with, any such Permits, which if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling, or finding would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to Foghorn and its Subsidiary, taken as a whole.

Except as set forth in the SEC Documents, as of the Execution Date, neither Foghorn nor its Subsidiary has received any written notice of, or correspondence from, any Regulatory Authority (as defined below) or institutional review board requiring the termination, suspension or material modification of any Studies that are described or referred to in the SEC Documents and Foghorn and its Subsidiary have operated and currently are in compliance in all material respects with applicable laws, rules, regulations and policies of the federal, state, local or foreign agencies or bodies engaged in the regulation of pharmaceuticals and biological products such as those being developed by Foghorn (collectively, “Regulatory Authorities”), including current good laboratory practices and current good clinical practices, except in each case as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to Foghorn and its Subsidiary, taken as a whole.

(b)Except as would not result in material liability for Foghorn or its Subsidiary, (i) each of Foghorn and its Subsidiary has fully and timely paid all wages, salaries, wage premiums, commissions, bonuses, severance and termination payments, fees, and other compensation that has come due and payable to their current or former employees and independent contractors under applicable laws, contract or company policy; and (ii) each individual who within the past three (3) years has provided services to Foghorn, and its Subsidiary, is or was classified and treated as an independent contractor, consultant, leased employee, or other non-employee service provider is and has been properly classified and treated as such for all applicable purposes.
Section 3.Representations and Warranties of Lilly.
Lilly hereby represents and warrants to Foghorn as of the Execution Date and as of the Closing Date as follows:
    11






3.1Authorization; Enforcement. Lilly has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Lilly has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, this Agreement will constitute a valid and binding obligation of Lilly, enforceable against Lilly in accordance with its terms, except as (a) enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally, and (b) enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity.
3.2No Conflicts; Government Consents and Permits.
(a)The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Lilly and the consummation by Lilly of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the purchase of the Shares) will not (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of Lilly’s amended articles of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) violate or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default under, any agreement, indenture, or instrument to which Lilly is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including United States federal and state securities laws and regulations and regulations of any self-regulatory organizations) applicable to Lilly, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) only, for such conflicts, breaches, defaults and violations as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Lilly or result in a liability for Foghorn.
(b)Lilly is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, or to purchase the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, other than such as have been made or obtained, and except for (i) any post-Closing filings required to be made under federal or state securities laws, and (ii) any filing required under the HSR Act.
3.3Investment Purpose. Lilly is purchasing the Shares for its own account and not with a present view toward the public distribution thereof and has no arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the distribution of such Shares, except as would not result in a violation of the Securities Act. Lilly will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Shares except in accordance with the Securities Act and to the extent permitted by Section 6.1 and Section 6.2.
3.4Reliance on Exemptions. Lilly understands that Foghorn intends for the Shares to be offered and sold to Lilly in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that Foghorn is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and Lilly’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Lilly set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Lilly to acquire the Shares.
3.5Accredited Investor; Access to Information. Lilly is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act and 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. Lilly has been furnished with materials relating to the offer and sale of the Shares, that have been requested by Lilly, including, without limitation, the SEC Documents, and Lilly has had the opportunity to review the SEC Documents. Lilly has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of
    12






Foghorn. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of Lilly or its representatives or counsel will modify, amend or affect Lilly’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the SEC Documents and Foghorn's representations and warranties contained in this Agreement.
3.6Brokers and Finders. No person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon Foghorn for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of Lilly.
3.7Governmental Review. Lilly understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or an investment therein.
Section 4.Covenants and Agreements.
4.1Information Rights.
    (a) Until Lilly no longer holds Shares representing beneficial ownership of at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, Lilly shall have the right to consult with Foghorn’s Chief Executive Officer, who shall make himself or herself reasonably available for such consultation, but who, for clarity, shall have no obligation pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) to disclose any confidential information of Foghorn or any Third Party to Lilly.
    (b) Without limiting any other obligations of confidentiality that Lilly has to Foghorn under the Collaboration Agreement, Lilly agrees that it will keep confidential any confidential information obtained from Foghorn, unless such confidential information is known or becomes generally known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or the Collaboration Agreement). In addition, Lilly understands and acknowledges that the securities laws of the United States restrict any person who has material, non-public information about a company from purchasing or selling any securities of such company while in possession of such information.
4.2Right to Conduct Activities. Foghorn hereby agrees and acknowledges that Lilly is a public company with numerous business lines and an active investment and acquisition program. Foghorn hereby agrees that none of Lilly or any of its Affiliates (together, the “Lilly Group”) shall be liable to Foghorn or any of its Affiliates for any claim arising out of, or based upon, (a) the investment by the Lilly Group in any entity competitive with Foghorn, (b) actions taken by any partner, officer or other representative of the Lilly Group to assist any such competitive company, whether or not such action was taken as a member of the board of directors of such competitive company or otherwise, and whether or not such action has a detrimental effect on Foghorn, or (c) with respect to the Lilly Group, the Lilly Group’s engaging in any business; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit any of Lilly’s or any of its Affiliates’ obligations under the Collaboration Agreement or otherwise relieve Lilly or any Affiliate of Lilly from liability associated with the breach by Lilly of any covenant, agreement or obligation set forth in the Collaboration Agreement.
4.3Participation in Future Financings.
(a)For so long as Lilly holds one hundred percent (100%) of the Shares purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement and such Shares equal or exceed at least five percent (5%) of Foghorn’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, Foghorn will use commercially
    13






reasonable efforts to allow Lilly to participate (pro rata with its percentage ownership of the outstanding shares of Common Stock) in public offerings or private placements of shares of Common Stock, subject to any limitations arising under securities or other applicable laws; provided that, the rights described in this Section 4.3 shall not apply to: (i) the grant any options or other awards (including without limitation, restricted stock or restricted stock units), or the shares of Common Stock issued with respect to, or upon the exercise of, such options and other awards, granted under any compensatory equity plans of Foghorn, (ii) the filing of a registration statement on Form S-8, and the issuance of securities registered thereunder, relating to any benefit plans or arrangements, (iii) the issuance and sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an “at the market” program, (iv) the issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection with the acquisition of the assets of, or a majority of controlling portion of the equity of, or a business combination with, another entity in connection with such business combination or such acquisition by Foghorn or any of its subsidiaries, and (v) the issuance of any note (except for any convertible notes) pursuant to an underwritten offering. Foghorn will notify Lilly in writing of any proposed transaction that triggers Lilly’s participation rights under this Section 4.3(a) (each a “Participation Right Event”) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the contemplated date of entry into a definitive agreement providing for a transaction pursuant to which a Participation Right Event will occur. If such participation is in the form of a public offering, Lilly understands and acknowledges that Foghorn and/or its underwriters or investment bankers may utilize customary “wall-cross” procedures to notify Lilly of such opportunity to participate in such offering, or alternatively notify Lilly after initiation of such offering has been publicly disclosed. If such offering is in the form of a private placement, Foghorn may notify Lilly prior to the public disclosure of such private placement utilizing customary “wall-cross” procedures of such opportunity to participate in such private placement. For the avoidance of doubt, the participation rights and notification requirements under this Section 4.3(a) apply to the issuance of shares of Common Stock (including without limitation, restricted stock or restricted stock awards or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) in connection with joint ventures, commercial relationships or other strategic transactions or with lenders in connection with debt financings.
(b)Lilly’s rights to participate in offerings by Foghorn pursuant to Section 4.3(a) shall terminate in the event that Foghorn does offer Lilly the right to participate in an offering as described in Section 4.3(a) and Lilly does not participate in such offering to the full extent offered by Foghorn, if less than or equal to Lilly’s pro rata share with its percentage ownership of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Section 5.Standstill Agreement.
5.1Prior to the earlier of (i) the day that is 540 days after the Closing Date, and (ii) the date on which Lilly and its Affiliates collectively hold less than 2% of Foghorn’s outstanding Common Stock on an issued and outstanding basis without giving effect to any convertible securities (the “Standstill Period”), Lilly and its Affiliates will not, directly or indirectly, except as expressly approved or invited in writing by a duly authorized representative of Foghorn:
(a)effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, or cause or participate in or in any way advise, assist or encourage any other person to effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in, (i) any acquisition of any securities (or beneficial ownership thereof) or material assets of Foghorn, (ii) any tender or exchange offer, merger, or other business combination involving Foghorn, (iii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with respect to Foghorn, or (iv) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the SEC) or consents to vote any voting securities of Foghorn;
    14






(b)form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined under the Exchange Act) with respect to any securities of Foghorn;
(c)otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control the management, Board of Directors or policies of Foghorn;
(d)take any action that would reasonably be expected to require Foghorn to make a public announcement regarding any of the types of matters set forth in clause (a) above; or
(e)enter into any discussions or arrangements with any person with respect to any of the foregoing.
5.2Lilly also agrees during the Standstill Period not to request Foghorn (or its representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this Section 5 other than by means of a confidential communication to Foghorn’s Chairman of the Board or Chief Executive Officer. Lilly represents and warrants that, as of the Execution Date, neither Lilly nor any of its Affiliates owns, of record or beneficially, any voting securities of Foghorn, or any securities convertible into or exercisable for any voting securities of Foghorn. For the avoidance of doubt, the representation and warranty set forth in the second sentence of this Section 5.2 shall be deemed not to apply to (i) investment funds or (ii) pension or other employee benefit plan administrator for any pension or other employee benefit plan for Lilly’s or its Affiliates’ employees that, in the case of (i) and (ii) are not directed by Lilly, are conducted without the intent or objective of effecting a Change of Control of Foghorn or otherwise influencing the management or policy of Foghorn.
5.3
(a)Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 (the “Standstill Provisions”), Lilly shall immediately, and without any other action by Foghorn, be released from its obligations under the Standstill Provisions if: (i) Foghorn executes a definitive agreement with a Third Party providing for a Change of Control, (ii) a Third Party commences one or more tender or exchange offers seeking to acquire beneficial ownership of more than 50% of Foghorn’s outstanding Common Stock (or publicly announces an intention to acquire by way of merger, tender, exchange or otherwise more than 50% of Foghorn’s outstanding Common Stock), (iii) a Third Party undertakes (or publicly announces an intent to undertake) a proxy contest to replace a majority of the Board, or (iv) the Collaboration Agreement is terminated by Lilly pursuant to Section 14.2.1 thereof.
(b)The foregoing provisions of this Section 5 shall not preclude Lilly from making any confidential offers or proposals to Foghorn’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, or the Board in a manner reasonably believed not to require Foghorn to make a public announcement of such offer or proposal; provided that Lilly shall not publicly disclose any such offers or proposals except as required by Law; and Lilly shall not be precluded from owning or acquiring interests in mutual funds or similar entities that own shares of Common Stock, and nothing herein shall prohibit passive investments by pension or employee benefit plans of Lilly. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 5 shall be deemed to prevent any (i) investment funds from acquiring (together with any shares of Common Stock held on or prior to the Closing Date), in the aggregate, less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Common Stock or (ii) pension or other employee benefit plan administrator for any pension or other employee benefit plan for Lilly’s or its Affiliates’ employees from engaging in investment operations (including trading and owning shares of Common Stock) that, in each
    15






instance, are not directed by Lilly, are conducted without the intent or objective of effecting a Change of Control of Foghorn or otherwise influencing the management or policy of Foghorn.
(c)If Foghorn commences a process to explore a transaction that would constitute a Change of Control pursuant to which Foghorn has engaged an investment banking firm and at least one (1) Third Party has for the purposes of exploring a Change of Control transaction (i) executed a confidentiality agreement with Foghorn and (ii) received access to non-public information concerning Foghorn for the purpose of conducting a due diligence review of Foghorn, then Foghorn shall notify Lilly in writing of such an occurrence no later than thirty (30) days prior to the contemplated date of entry into a definitive agreement providing for any such Change of Control transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, Foghorn’s notification obligation shall not require Foghorn to disclose the identity of any Third Party or any terms of such potential Change of Control transaction. In the event that Foghorn contacts two (2) or more Third Parties for the purpose of assessing such Third Parties’ interest in a possible Change of Control transaction, then Foghorn shall cause Lilly to be contacted and included in such a process at substantially the same time as such Third Parties.
Section 6.Transfer, Resale, Legends.
6.1Transfer or Resale. Lilly acknowledges and agrees that:
(a)the Shares have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and, consequently, Lilly may have to bear the risk of owning the Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Shares cannot be transferred unless (i) the resale of the Shares is registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) Lilly has delivered to Foghorn an opinion of counsel (in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the Shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (iii) the Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”); and
(b)any sale of the Shares made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Shares under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.
(c)Foghorn acknowledges and agrees that, following the six month anniversary of the Closing Date, upon receipt of a letter of representation from Lilly that Lilly is not an affiliate of Foghorn for purposes of Rule 144 and has not been an affiliate for such purposes for at least three (3) months, Foghorn shall direct its transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends imposed under the Securities Act (and any stop-transfer orders placed against the transfer of the Shares).
(d)For as long as Lilly or any of its Affiliates beneficially owns any Shares, to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, Foghorn shall use its reasonable best efforts to timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144), and shall use reasonable best efforts to take such further necessary action as Lilly may reasonably request in connection with the removal of any restrictive legend on the Shares being sold, all to the extent required from time to time to enable
    16






Lilly to sell the Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144.
6.2Agreement to Hold Shares. Lilly agrees that it will hold and will not sell any of the Shares (or otherwise make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the intent to cause same economic effect as a sale of the Shares) (collectively, a “Sale”, with corresponding means for “Sell” and “Sold”) until the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Holding Period”); provided that Lilly shall immediately, and without any other action by Foghorn, be released from its obligations set forth in this Section 6.2 if the Collaboration Agreement is terminated by Lilly pursuant to the provisions of Section 14.2.1 thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.2 will not preclude Lilly from selling the Shares to a Third Party pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by such Third Party, provided that, in the event Foghorn enters into any definitive agreement with a Third Party during the Holding Period contemplating (x) a Third Party tender or exchange offer or (y) a business combination, merger, consolidation or similar transaction to which Foghorn is a constituent corporation, then the restrictions on the Shares automatically shall be terminated and of no further force or effect.
6.3Legends. Lilly understands the Shares will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the Shares):
THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATED DECEMBER , 2021 BETWEEN FOGHORN THERAPEUTICS INC. AND ELI LILLY AND COMPANY.
Lilly may request that Foghorn remove, and Foghorn agrees to authorize and instruct (including by causing any required legal opinion to be provided) within two (2) Business Days of any such request the removal of, any legend from the Shares at any time following the Lockup Period; provided, however, each Party will be responsible for any fees it incurs in connection with such request and removal.
6.410b5-1 Plan. If requested by Lilly, Foghorn will approve and facilitate the adoption of, without unreasonable delay or condition, any written plan by Lilly for trading the Shares that is designed in accordance with Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act, as long as such plan does not violate this Agreement and applicable securities laws.
Section 7.Conditions to Closing
