a.Accredited Investor Status; Sophisticated Purchaser. Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act and is able to bear the risk of its investment in the Shares for an indefinite period. Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Shares. Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
b.Information. Purchaser has carefully reviewed and considered the SEC Reports, other publicly available information regarding Company, and all other information and materials relating to the business, finances and operations of Company and the offer and sale of the Shares that that it and its Representatives deem necessary to make its decision to enter into the Transaction. Purchaser or its Representatives have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of Company or its Representatives and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain any additional information which Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that its purchase of the Shares involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. Purchaser has evaluated the merits and risks of the Transaction and has sought such accounting, financial, legal, tax and other advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its investment in the Shares.
c.Purchase for Own Account, Restricted Securities. Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for its own account and not with a view to distribution in violation of any securities Laws. Purchaser has been advised and understands and acknowledges that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the “blue sky” Laws of any jurisdiction and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act or if an exemption from registration is available, except under circumstances where neither such registration nor such an exemption is required by Law and, subject to the Shareholder Agreement, Company is not required to register the Shares. Purchaser will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Shares or any interest therein except in a transaction registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act or in a transaction exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Purchaser has been advised of and is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
d.Legends. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, until such time as the Shares have been registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act, or the Shares are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Shares will bear the following restrictive legend: “THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER AND, IN THE CASE OF A


25



TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SUCH ACT OR THE ISSUER HAS RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT (WHICH MAY INCLUDE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL) THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”
e.Reliance Upon Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties. Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities Laws, and that Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement in (i) concluding that the issuance and sale of the Shares is a “private offering” and, as such, is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and (ii) determining the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of Purchaser to purchase the Shares.
Section 4.07 Ownership of Common Stock.
Except for the Shares that Purchaser will acquire at the Closing, as of the Closing none of Purchaser or its Affiliates beneficially owns (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rule promulgated thereunder) any shares of Common Stock, or any securities that are convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, shares of Common Stock.

28



ii.by either Company or Purchaser if the Milestone Closing has not occurred on or prior to March 31, 2021 (the “Outside Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.01(a)(ii) shall not be available to any Party if the breach by such Party of its representations and warranties set forth herein or the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations hereunder has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Milestone Closing to occur by the Outside Date;
iii.by either Company or Purchaser if the Strategic Alliance Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms;

b.If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 6.01, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, except that the provisions of this Article VI (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 6.04 with respect to the Initial Closing in the event that this Agreement is terminated prior to the occurrence of the Milestone Closing) shall remain operative and in full force and effect, unless the Parties execute a writing that expressly (with specific references to the applicable Section or subsection of this Agreement) terminates such rights and obligations as between the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of this Agreement pursuant to


29



this Section 6.01 shall not relieve any Party from liability for damages for Fraud or any intentional misrepresentation of the representations and warranties contained in Article III or Article IV, as applicable, or any willful failure to perform or observe in any material respect any of its agreements or covenants contained herein that are to be performed or observed at or prior to the Closing.

Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it has conducted to its satisfaction its own independent investigation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including with respect to Company and its businesses, operations, assets and liabilities) and, in making its determination to enter into this Agreement and proceed with the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser has relied on the results of such independent investigation.

Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, except in the case of Fraud, the maximum liability of Company under or relating to this Agreement to the extent relating to or arising out of any breach of the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement shall in no event exceed the Initial Closing Purchase Price (or, if the Milestone Closing occurs, the Aggregate Purchase Price).

Section 6.09 Entire Agreement.
This Agreement, including the Disclosure Schedule, together with the Transaction Documents and the other agreements and documents referred to herein are intended by the Parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings between the Parties, other than those set forth or referred to herein with respect to the rights granted by Company or any of its Affiliates or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates set forth herein. This Agreement including the Disclosure Schedule, together with the Transaction Documents and the other agreements and documents referred to herein or therein supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to such subject matter.
Section 6.10 Specific Performance.
The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached and that any remedy at law for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement would be inadequate. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that each Party shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the right of a Party to cause the other Party to consummate the Milestone Closing in accordance with Sections 2.01 and 2.02 and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in the courts provided for in Section 6.11, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at Law or that


33



an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 6.10 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.
Section 6.11 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.
This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement), shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal Laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to the choice of law provisions thereof. All claims, causes of action, suits, actions or proceedings shall be raised to and exclusively determined by the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware or, if such court disclaims jurisdiction, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware or, if such court disclaims jurisdiction, the courts of the State of Delaware, and in each case, any appellate court from any decision thereof, to whose exclusive jurisdiction and venue the Parties unconditionally consent and submit. Service of process in connection with any such claim, cause of action suit, action or proceeding may be served on each Party anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Agreement. Each of the Parties irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
Section 6.12 Waiver of Jury Trial.
THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT EACH HEREBY WAIVES, AND AGREES TO CAUSE ITS AFFILIATES TO WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (ii) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
