FORM OF WARRANT REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS WARRANT REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March [●], 2021 by and among Savara Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the entities listed on Exhibit A (each, a “Seller”).

WHEREAS, each Seller owns a warrant dated December 24, 2019 (the “Warrant”) to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), set forth opposite each Seller’s name on Exhibit A;

WHEREAS, the Company proposes to issue shares of Common Stock in a public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Public Offering”); and

WHEREAS, in connection with the Public Offering, the Company desires to buy from each Seller, and such Seller desires to sell to the Company, its Warrant on the terms and conditions set forth herein (such mutual agreement to purchase, transfer and sell the Warrants being herein referred to as the “Repurchase”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties do hereby agree as follows:

1.1    Purchase of Warrant. Each Seller, severally and not jointly, hereby irrevocably agrees to sell, assign and transfer its Warrant to the Company, and the Company irrevocably agrees to purchase the Warrant from each such Seller, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for in this Section 1. At the Closing (as defined in Section 1.4), in full consideration of the Repurchase, the Company shall pay to each Seller cash via wire transfer in “same-day” funds an amount equal to $0.15 per share of Common Stock underlying the Warrant, resulting in an aggregate purchase price set forth opposite such Seller’s name on Exhibit A (the “Purchase Price”). Upon receipt by the Seller of the Purchase Price set forth opposite such Seller’s name on Exhibit A, the Seller shall have sold, assigned and transferred to the Company its Warrant, at which time such Warrant shall automatically terminate and no longer be of any force or effect.

1.2    Delivery of Cancelled Warrant. On or promptly after receipt by a Seller of the Purchase Price, such Seller shall deliver its Warrant, marked “CANCELLED”, to the Company; provided that such surrender shall not be a condition to cancellation, which cancellation shall occur immediately upon receipt by the Seller of the Purchase Price.

1.3    No Exercise of Warrants Prior to Closing Date. From and after the date hereof until the Closing, the Seller agrees to refrain from exercising its right to exercise its Warrant. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, if the Seller does not receive the Purchase Price from the Company at the Closing, then the Seller shall retain all its rights under the Warrant, including its right to exercise the Warrant into shares of Common Stock as provided in the Warrant.

1.4    Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur immediately prior to the closing of the Public Offering.
