COH to Licensee. If, at the end of such [***] ([***])-day period, COH and Licensee have not entered into such an exclusive license, COH shall be free to exploit its interest in such Core Patents and Core Know-How in all fields outside of the Mammalian Therapeutic Field and Research Reagent Field [***].

Licensee shall each designate one individual to serve as the main point of contact for communications related to development and commercialization of Licensed Products and Licensed Services under this Agreement (each a “Designated
Representative”). The initial Designated Representative of COH shall be [***] and the initial Designated Representative of Licensee shall be [***]. Each Party may replace its Designated Representative at any time upon prior notice to the
other Party. Licensee shall keep COH reasonably informed as to progress in the development and commercialization of Licensed Products and Licensed Services. Without limiting the foregoing, on or before January 15 and July 15 of each year
during the term of this Agreement, Licensee shall provide to COH a written report setting forth, in reasonable detail, its activities and achievements with respect to the development and commercialization of Licensed Products and Licensed Services

purposes of calculating the number of additional shares of Common Stock issuable to COH pursuant to this sentence, and COH shall not be entitled to any additional shares of Common Stock as a
result of any proceeds to the Company in a Qualified Financing exceeding the Qualified Financing Protection Ceiling. Promptly after the applicable Measurement Date, Licensee will deliver to the applicable COH Stockholders (i) certificates

Qualifying Stock as of the Measurement Date, the sales price of each share of capital stock issued in the Qualified Financings, and the gross proceeds of the Qualified Financings and Licensee’s calculation of the shares of Common Stock to be
issued to the COH Stockholders. Such shares of Common Stock will be issued in consideration for the benefits provided to Licensee under the Agreement and no additional consideration shall be payable for such shares of Common Stock. 

(b) COH, on behalf of itself and all of the COH Stockholders, represents and warrants to Licensee as follows: 

(i) The COH Stockholders acknowledge and agree that the COH Shares will be restricted securities and will not be registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission or qualified with any state securities authority and that, accordingly, the COH Shares may not be distributed, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or
pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Act. COH acknowledges that Licensee has no obligation to register or qualify the COH Shares for resale. 

(ii) Each of the COH Stockholders is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.
Each of the COH Stockholders is an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that each such COH Stockholder is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and
experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the COH Shares. 

(iii) COH hereby confirms that unless the COH Shares are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the COH Shares will
be acquired for investment for the applicable COH Stockholder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such COH Stockholder has no present intention of selling,
granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. COH further represents that the COH Stockholders do not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation
rights to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the COH Shares unless the COH Shares are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. No COH Stockholder has been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring
the COH Shares.

sell, offer for sale, have sold, import, export or otherwise exploit a Licensed Product or Licensed Service in a given jurisdiction, and if the aggregate royalty rates of any and all royalties payable to such Third Party licensors when combined with
the royalty rate payable to COH exceeds [***] percent in the case of Net Sales of Licensed Products or Licensed Services, then Licensee shall have the right with respect to any period for which royalties are due (i.e. a calendar quarter or calendar
year) to set off [***] percent of the aggregate royalties otherwise payable with respect to such period and such jurisdiction to such Third Party licensors against royalties that would otherwise be due to COH hereunder with respect to such period
and jurisdiction; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the royalty offsets permitted in this Section 4.6 result in the reduction of the effective adjusted royalty rate and the royalty
amount otherwise due to COH in any period for which payment is due and in any jurisdiction pursuant to Section 4.5, above, by more than [***] percent (e.g., with respect to Pre-Existing AAVFs, the minimum effective adjusted royalty rate on Licensed Products and Licensed Services for annual sales up to $[***] shall be [***] percent). Licensee shall [***] obtain a royalty offset
provision in any Third Party license.

Sublicense Revenues in accordance with Section 4.7.2, provided, however, that beginning at such time that [***], Licensee shall pay to COH the additional percentage of the related Sublicense Revenues

shall pay to COH [***] sold by Sublicensee. 
 If any Sublicense Revenues are received by Licensee as Publicly Traded Sublicensee’s stock, the
percentage share payable to COH pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall be due in such Publicly Traded Sublicensee’s stock. If any Sublicense Revenues are received by Licensee as stock in a Sublicensee
that is not Publicly Traded, the percentage share payable to COH pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall be due, in COH’s sole discretion, either in kind or in its cash equivalent, provided however,
that if COH elects to receive the cash equivalent, the cash equivalent value shall be equal to [***]% of the fair market value of such stock as determined by an independent valuation firm. For all other Sublicense Revenues received by Licensee that
are not in cash or cash equivalents (and not in the form of stock), the percentage share payable to COH pursuant to this Section 4.7 shall be due, in COH’s sole discretion, either in kind or in its

 4.8 Timing of Royalty Payments. Royalty payments due under
Section 4.5, above, shall be paid annually within [***] days following the end of each calendar year until the first License Year in which aggregate Net Sales across all Licensed Product and License
Services reach $[***]. Thereafter, all royalty payments due under Section 4.5 shall be paid in quarterly installments, within [***] days following the end of each calendar quarter. During such time as
royalty payments are made in quarterly installments, the applicable royalty rate for each quarter pursuant to Section 4.5(a) and (b) shall be determined based upon
annual Net Sales for the preceding calendar year, and the royalty payment for the fourth calendar quarter of each calendar year shall be adjusted as necessary to resolve any over- or underpayment in each of the first three calendar quarters, based
on the actual annual Net Sales. 
 4.9 No Deductions from Payments. Licensee is solely responsible for payment of any fee, royalty or other
payment due to any Third Party not a Sublicensee in connection with the research, development, manufacture, distribution, use, sale, import or export of a Licensed Product or Licensed Service and except as set forth in
Section 4.6 above, Licensee shall not have the right to set off any amounts paid to such a Third Party, including fee, royalty or other payment, against any amount payable to COH hereunder. 

4.10 Single Royalty. Only a single royalty payment shall be due and payable on Net Sales of a Licensed Product or performance of a Licensed
Service, regardless if such Licensed Product or Licensed Service is Covered by more than one Valid Claim. 
 4.11 No Overlap. With respect to
any consideration received by Licensee from its Sublicensees, if such consideration qualifies as Net Sales of Licensed Products and Licensed Services, then Licensee shall only be obligated to make a royalty payment to COH pursuant to
Section 4.5, and if such consideration does not qualify as Net Sales of Licensed Products and Licensed Services but qualifies as Sublicense Revenues, then Licensee shall only be obligated to make a
payment to COH pursuant to Section 4.7. 
 ARTICLE 5 

REPORTS, AUDITS AND FINANCIAL TERMS 
 5.1

 5.2 Additional Financial Terms. 

5.2.1 Currency. All payments to be made under this Agreement shall be made in United States dollars, unless expressly specified
to the contrary herein. Net Sales outside of the United States shall be first determined in the currency in which they are earned and shall then be converted into an amount in United States dollars. All currency conversions shall use the conversion
rate reported by Reuters, Ltd. on the last Business Day of the calendar quarter for which such payment is being determined. 
 5.2.2
Payment Method. Amounts due under this Agreement shall be paid in immediately available funds, by means of wire transfer to an account identified by COH. 

5.2.3 Withholding of Taxes. Licensee may withhold from payments due to COH amounts for payment of any withholding tax that is
required by law to be paid to any taxing authority with respect to such payments. Licensee shall provide to COH all relevant documents and correspondence, and shall also provide to COH any other cooperation or assistance on a reasonable basis as may
be necessary to enable COH to claim exemption from such withholding taxes and to receive a full refund of such withholding tax or claim a foreign tax credit. Licensee shall give COH proper evidence from time to time as to the payment of such tax.
The Parties shall cooperate with each other in seeking deductions under federal and state tax laws and any double taxation or other similar treaty or agreement from time to time in force. 

5.2.4 Late Payments. Any amounts not paid on or before the date due under this Agreement are subject to interest from the date
due through and including the date upon which payment is received. Interest is calculated, over the period between the date due and the date paid, at a rate equal to [***] percentage point ([***]%) over the “bank prime loan” rate,
as such rate is published in the U.S. Federal Reserve Bulletin H.15 or successor thereto on the last Business Day of the applicable calendar quarter prior to the date on which such payment is due, provided that in no event shall the applicable
interest rate exceed a rate of [***] percent ([***]%). 
 5.2.5 Blocked Currency. If, at any time, legal restrictions prevent
the prompt remittance of part or all royalties with respect to any country where a Licensed Product is sold or Licensed Service provided, payment shall be made through such lawful means or methods as Licensee may determine. When in any country, the
law or regulations prohibit both the transmittal and deposit of royalties or other payments, Licensee shall continue to report all such amounts, but may suspend payment for as long as such prohibition is in effect. As soon as such prohibition ceases
to be in effect, all amounts that would have been obligated to be transmitted or deposited but for the prohibition, together with accrued interested thereon, shall promptly be transmitted to COH. 

5.3 Accounts and Audit. 
 5.3.1
Records. Licensee shall keep, and shall require that each Sublicensee keep, full, true and accurate books of account containing the particulars of its Net Sales and the calculation of royalties. Licensee and its Sublicensees shall each
keep such books of account and the supporting data and other records at its principal place of business. Such books and records must be maintained available for examination upon reasonable notice in accordance with this
Section 5.3.1 for [***] calendar years after the end of the calendar year to which they pertain, and otherwise as reasonably required to comply with GAAP.

 5.3.2 Appointment of Auditor. COH may appoint an internationally- recognized
independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Licensee to inspect the relevant books of account of Licensee and its Sublicensees to verify any reports or statements provided, or amounts paid or invoiced (as appropriate), by Licensee or its
Sublicensees. 
 5.3.3 Procedures for Audit. COH may exercise its right to have Licensee’s and its Sublicensees’
relevant records examined only during the [***] year period during which Licensee is required to maintain records, no more than [***] in any consecutive four calendar quarters. Licensee and its Sublicensees are required to make records available for
inspection only during regular business hours, only at such place or places where such records are customarily kept, and only upon receipt of at least [***] days advance notice from COH. 

5.3.4 Audit Report. The independent accountant will be instructed to provide to COH an audit report containing only its
conclusions and methodology regarding the audit, and specifying whether the amounts paid were correct and, if incorrect, the amount of any underpayment or overpayment. 

5.3.5 Underpayment and Overpayment. After review of the auditor’s report: (i) if there is an uncontested underpayment
by Licensee for all of the periods covered by such auditor’s report, then Licensee shall pay to COH the full amount of that uncontested underpayment, and (ii) if there is an uncontested overpayment for such periods, then COH shall provide
to Licensee a credit against future payments (such credit equal to the full amount of that overpayment), or, if Licensee is not obligated to make any future payments, then COH shall pay to Licensee the full amount of that overpayment. Contested
amounts are subject to dispute resolution under Article 12. If the total amount of any such underpayment (as agreed to by Licensee or as determined under Article 12) exceeds [***] of the amount previously paid by Licensee
for the period subject to audit, then Licensee shall pay the reasonable costs for the audit. Otherwise, all costs of the audit shall be paid by COH.

 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; PATENT PROSECUTION, MAINTENANCE AND ENFORCEMENT. 

7.1 Patent Prosecution, Maintenance and Enforcement. 

(a) COH shall be responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of all Background Patents, using counsel of its choice.
COH will timely provide Licensee with copies of all relevant documentation relating to such prosecution and periodically update Exhibit 2 to include current information regarding the Background Patents, and Licensee shall keep such information
confidential. COH’s counsel shall take instructions only from COH. All patents and patent applications in Background Patents and Core Patents, to the extent one or more inventors have the obligation to assign to COH, shall be assigned by such
inventors to COH. 
 (b) COH will not unreasonably refuse to amend any patent application in the Background Patents to include claims
reasonably requested by Licensee to protect the products contemplated to be sold by Licensee under this Agreement. 
 (c) As of the Option
Effective Date, Licensee shall have the right to assume preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of all Core Patents in the name of COH at Licensee’s own expense, using Licensee counsel reasonably acceptable to COH, solely for as long
as Licensee maintains exclusivity with respect to the Core Patents in the Unrestricted Field. In the event of a License Conversion pursuant to Section 2.2.2(a) hereof where Licensee does not maintain
exclusivity with respect to the Core Patents in the Unrestricted Field, Licensee shall take all actions reasonably requested by COH to enable COH to prepare, file, prosecute, and maintain all Core Patents, on its own behalf using counsel of
COH’s choice; provided, that the Cooperation Provisions of Section 7.1(d) shall apply to COH cooperating with Licensee, mutatis mutandis, including without limitation that COH will
timely provide Licensee with copies of all relevant documentation relating to such prosecution and Licensee shall keep such information confidential, and that COH’s counsel shall reasonably consider comments from Licensee, but take ultimate
instructions only from COH. 
 (d) Promptly following the end of each calendar quarter or upon request of COH, Licensee will provide COH with
an update and details regarding the filing, prosecution and maintenance status of each Core Patent. Licensee shall provide COH with drafts of all proposed filings (including, without limitation, the initial application as well as any material
correspondence related to any filings) in a manner that allows COH a reasonable opportunity to review and comment before any such filing is made or due but in no event, except when impossible, less than [***] ([***]) business days prior to any
filing deadline. Licensee will consider all of, and incorporate to the extent commercially reasonable for Licensee’s conduct of its business, COH’s suggestions, recommendations and instructions concerning the preparation,

filing, prosecution, defense and maintenance of Core Patents (including without limitation any suggestion or recommendation to alter or expand or limit the scope, content and/or claims of any
such application), and, to the extent otherwise possible, will undertake the preparation, filing, prosecution and defense of Core Patents in a way that is intended to reasonably optimize the scope and enforceability of the Core Patents. COH shall
cooperate with Licensee in the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of Core Patents by disclosing such information as may be necessary and by promptly executing such documents as Licensee may request to effect such efforts. COH shall
secure, and upon request provide to Licensee, assignments from all employees and other individuals necessary to grant the rights, licenses and privileges granted in this Agreement. The aforementioned provisions of this subparagraph are collectively
the “Cooperation Provisions”. For clarity, (i) Licensee may not use cost or expense as a basis to deem any proposed COH claim or application commercially unreasonable, provided COH is willing to bear any increased cost or
expense, in which case Licensee shall not be entitled to the benefits of any such claim or application unless COH’s costs are reimbursed and (ii) if Licensee deems any COH claim or application commercially unreasonable due to cost or
expense, COH shall be entitled to require Licensee to file continuation, divisional or other independent applications to be prosecuted and maintained by COH at its cost and expense independent of Licensee and which shall be outside the scope of the
rights licensed. 
 (e) Each Party shall promptly provide written notice to the other in the event it becomes aware of any actual or probable
infringement of any of the Patent Rights or of any Third Party claim regarding the enforceability or validity of any Patent Rights (“Infringement Notice”). 

(f) Licensee shall, in cooperation with COH, use reasonable efforts to terminate infringement of the Core Patents without litigation. If such
infringing activity has not been abated within [***] ([***]) days following the date the Infringement Notice is provided, then Licensee may, following consultation with COH, in its sole discretion and at its sole expense, take action against
any alleged infringer or in defense of such any claim, provided, that Licensee has exclusive rights under this Agreement in the applicable field within which the alleged infringer is operating. 

(g) If required for Licensee to maintain standing to enforce the Core Patents against a Third Party, COH agrees to be named a party to a legal
proceeding at Licensee’s request, provided that Licensee will pay any costs incurred by COH arising out of such suit, including but not limited to, any legal fees of counsel that COH selects and retains to represent it in the suit. 

(h) In the event that Licensee declines to cause such infringement to cease (e.g. by settlement or injunction) and thereafter declines to
initiate and thereafter diligently maintain legal proceedings against the infringer other than as part of a mutually agreed upon bona fide strategy, developed with the guidance of outside patent counsel, to preserve the Core Patents, COH may, in its
sole discretion and at its sole expense, take action against such alleged infringer or in defense of any such Third Party claim.

trademarks or house marks of COH (including the COH corporate name), or marks confusingly similar thereto, in connection with Licensee commercialization of Licensed Products or Licensed Services under this Agreement in any promotional materials or
applications or in any manner implying an endorsement by COH of Licensee or the Licensed Products or Licensed Services. Licensee shall own all Marks. 
 7.3
Challenge to the Patent Rights by Licensee. 
 (a) COH may terminate this Agreement and, notwithstanding
Section 3.5, above, all Sublicenses issued hereunder, upon [***] ([***]) days’ written notice to Licensee in the event that Licensee or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees directly or
indirectly asserts a Patent Challenge. “Patent Challenge” means any challenge in a legal or administrative proceeding to the patentability, validity or enforceability of any of the Patent Rights (or any claim thereof), including by:
(a) filing or pursuing a declaratory judgment action in which any of the Patent Rights is alleged to be invalid or unenforceable; (b) citing prior art against any of the Patent Rights other than in connection with patent prosecution,
filing a request for or pursuing a re-examination of any of the Patent Rights (other than with COH’s written agreement), or becoming a party to or pursuing an interference against any of the Patent
Rights; or (c) filing or pursuing any re-examination, opposition, cancellation, nullity or other like proceedings against any of the Patent Rights; but excluding in each case (i) any challenge raised
as a defense against a claim, action or proceeding asserted by COH against Licensee, its Affiliates or Sublicensees, (ii) actions taken during prosecution of the Patent Rights, and (iii) a third party naming of Licensee in any legal

elect upon written notice to increase the payments due under all of Section 4 by [***] percent ([***]%), which election will be effective retroactively to the date of the commencement of the Patent Challenge. Licensee acknowledges and agrees
that this Section 7.3(a) is reasonable, valid and necessary for the adequate protection of COH’s interest in and to the Patent Rights, and that would not have granted to Licensee the licenses under
those Patent Rights, without this Section 7.3(a). COH will have the right at any time in its sole discretion to strike this Section 7.3(a) (or any portion
thereof) from this Agreement, and COH will have no liability whatsoever as a result of the presence or absence of this Section 7.3(a) (or any struck portion thereof). 

7.4 Payment of COH Patent Expenses. The Parties acknowledge that, prior to the Option Effective Date, COH provided to Licensee documentation of
historic expenses incurred by COH with respect to the drafting, prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights. In consideration of such historic expenditures by COH, Licensee shall reimburse COH for [***] percent of such expenses within [***]

 A. COMMON STOCK 

1. General. The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights,
powers and preferences of the holders of the Preferred Stock set forth herein. 
 2. Voting. The holders of the Common Stock are
entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held at all meetings of stockholders (and written actions in lieu of meetings) ; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall
not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of
such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Restated Certificate or pursuant to the DGCL. There shall be no cumulative voting. The number of
authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by (in addition to any vote of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock that may be required by the terms of
the Restated Certificate) the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the votes represented by all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective
of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL. 
 B. PREFERRED STOCK 

62,269,145 shares of the authorized and unissued Preferred Stock of the Corporation are hereby designated “Series A Preferred
Stock” with the following rights, preferences, powers, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and limitations. Unless otherwise indicated, references to “sections” or ‘subsections” in this Part B of this Article
Fourth refer to sections and subsections of Part B of this Article Fourth. 
 1. Dividends. 

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive non-cumulative cash dividends,
out of any assets legally available therefor, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend on shares of Common Stock (payable other than in Common Stock or other securities and rights convertible into or entitling the holder
thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock of the Corporation) at the rate of eight percent (8%) of the Series A Original Issue Price (as defined below) per share of Series A Preferred Stock per annum, payable only
when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The Corporation shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation (other than dividends on shares of
Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock) unless (in addition to the obtaining of any consents required elsewhere in the Restated Certificate) the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall first receive, or simultaneously
receive, in addition to the dividend described in the first sentence of this Section 1, a dividend on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount at least equal to (i) in the case of a dividend on
Common Stock or

marked as [***] have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

any class or series that is convertible into Common Stock, that dividend per share of Series A Preferred Stock as would equal the product of (A) the dividend payable on each share of such
class or series determined, if applicable, as if all shares of such class or series had been converted into Common Stock and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, in each case
calculated on the record date for determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend or (ii) in the case of a dividend on any class or series that is not convertible into Common Stock, at a rate per share of Series A Preferred Stock
determined by (A) dividing the amount of the dividend payable on each share of such class or series of capital stock by the original issuance price of such class or series of capital stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any
stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to such class or series) and (B) multiplying such fraction by an amount equal to the Series A Original Issue Price (as defined below); provided that, if the
Corporation declares, pays or sets aside, on the same date, a dividend on shares of more than one class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, the dividend payable to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this
Section 1 shall be calculated based upon the dividend on the class or series of capital stock that would result in the highest Series A Preferred Stock dividend. The “Series A Original Issue Price” shall
mean $0.71 per share, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. 

2. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales. 

2.1 Preferential Payments to Holders of Series A Preferred Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders before
any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the Series A Original Issue Price, plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. If upon any such liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the full amount to which they
shall be entitled under this Subsection 2.1, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which
would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full. 

2.2 Distribution of Remaining Assets. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, after the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders
shall be distributed among the holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder, treating for this purpose all such securities as if they had been converted to Common
Stock pursuant to the terms of the Restated Certificate immediately prior to such dissolution, liquidation, winding

up or Deemed Liquidation Event of the Corporation; provided, that if the aggregate amount (including upon such dissolution, liquidation, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event and at each other
date after such event on which additional amounts (such as earn-out payments, escrow amounts or other contingent payment(s)) are available for distribution) which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall
have received under Subsections 2.1 and 2.2 shall exceed three (3) times the Series A Original Issue Price per share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification,
or similar event affecting the Series A Preferred Stock) (the “Series A Maximum Participation Amount”), each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up or
Deemed Liquidation Event (including upon such dissolution, liquidation, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event and at each other date after such event on which additional amounts (such as earn-out payments,
escrow amounts or other contingent payment(s)) are available for distribution) of the Corporation the greater of (i) the Series A Maximum Participation Amount and (ii) the amount such holder would have received if all shares of Series A
Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event of the Corporation (giving effect to the proceeds available for distribution at the liquidation,
dissolution, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event of the Corporation and at each other date after such event on which additional amounts are available for distribution). The aggregate amount which a holder of a share of Series A Preferred Stock is
entitled to receive under Subsections 2.1 and 2.2 is hereinafter referred to as the “Series A Liquidation Amount.” 

2.3 Deemed Liquidation Events. 

2.3.1 Definition. Each of the following events shall be considered a “Deemed Liquidation Event” unless the holders of
at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock elect otherwise by written notice sent to the Corporation at least ten days prior to the effective date of any such event: 

(a) a merger or consolidation in which 
  

	 	(i)	the Corporation is a constituent party or 

  

	 	(ii)	a subsidiary of the Corporation is a constituent party and the Corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation, 


except any such merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, a majority, by voting power, of the capital
stock of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation or (2) if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such
surviving or resulting corporation; or

 (b) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single
transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger or
otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive
license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation. 
 2.3.2 Effecting a Deemed Liquidation Event. 

(a) The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to in Subsection 2.3.1(a)(i)
unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction (the “Merger Agreement”) provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be allocated among the holders of capital
stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 2.1 and 2.2. 
 (b) In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event
referred to in Subsections 2.3.1(a)(ii) or 2.3.1(b), if the Corporation does not effect a dissolution of the Corporation under the DGCL within 90 days after such Deemed Liquidation Event, then (i) the Corporation shall send a
written notice (the “Redemption Notice”) to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock no later than the 90th day after the Deemed Liquidation Event advising such holders of their right (and the requirements to be met to secure such
right) pursuant to the terms of the following clause (ii) to require the redemption of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and (ii) if holders of at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock so request in a written instrument delivered to the Corporation not later than 120 days after such Deemed Liquidation Event, the Corporation shall use the consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such Deemed Liquidation Event
(net of any retained liabilities associated with the assets sold or technology licensed, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors), together with any other assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders,
all to the extent permitted by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders (the “Available Proceeds”), on the 150th day after such Deemed Liquidation Event (the “Redemption Date”), to redeem each
outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Series A Liquidation Amount or the amount payable in respect thereof pursuant to Subsections 2.1 and 2.2, as applicable (the “Redemption
Price”). The Redemption Notice shall state (i) the Redemption Date and the Redemption Price, (ii) the date upon which the holder’s right to convert the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder terminates (as
determined in accordance with Subsection 4.1), and (iii) that the holder is to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, his, her or its certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a redemption pursuant to this Subsection 1.Fourth: B.2.3.2(b), if the Available Proceeds are not sufficient to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the
Corporation shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the fullest extent of such Available Proceeds, based on the respective amounts that would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares to be
redeemed had the Available Proceeds been sufficient to redeem all such shares, and shall redeem the remaining shares as soon as it may lawfully do so under

Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders. In the event of a redemption pursuant to this Subsection 1.Fourth: B.2.3.2(b), on or before the Redemption Date, each holder of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock, unless such holder has exercised his, her or its right to convert such shares as provided in Section 4, shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or, if such
registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the
Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the
order of the individual or entity whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof. If on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be
available therefor in a timely manner, then notwithstanding that any of the certificates for any of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease
to accrue after such Redemption Date and all rights, preferences and privileges with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest
upon surrender of such certificate or certificates. Prior to the distribution or redemption provided for in this Subsection 2.3.1(b), the Corporation shall not expend or dissipate the consideration received for such Deemed Liquidation Event,
except to discharge expenses incurred in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event or in the ordinary course of business. 
 2.3.3
Amount Deemed Paid or Distributed. The amount deemed paid or distributed to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation upon any such merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, exclusive license, other disposition or redemption shall be the
cash or the value of the property, rights or securities paid or distributed to such holders by the Corporation or the acquiring person, firm or other entity. The value of such property, rights or securities shall be determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Corporation. 
 2.3.4 Allocation of Escrow and Contingent Consideration. In the event of a
Deemed Liquidation Event pursuant to Subsection 2.3.1(a)(i), if any portion of the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation is payable only upon satisfaction of contingencies (the “Additional
Consideration”), the Merger Agreement shall provide that (a) the portion of such consideration that is not Additional Consideration (such portion, the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated among the holders of
capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 2.1 and 2.2 as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event and (b) any Additional Consideration
which becomes payable to the stockholders of the Corporation upon satisfaction of such contingencies shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 2.1 and 2.2 after taking into
account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction. For the purposes of this Subsection 2.3.3, consideration placed into escrow or retained as holdback to be available for satisfaction of indemnification
or similar obligations in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event shall be deemed to be Additional Consideration.

 3. Voting. 

3.1 General. On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of
stockholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common
Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of the Restated
Certificate, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class. 
 3.2 Election
of Directors. The holders of record of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect two (2) directors of the Corporation (the “Series A Directors”) and the
holders of record of the shares of Common Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one (1) director of the Corporation. Any director elected as provided in the preceding sentence may be removed without cause by,
and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of the class or series of capital stock entitled to elect such director or directors, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a
written consent of stockholders. If the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the case may be, fail to elect a sufficient number of directors to fill all directorships for which they are entitled to elect directors,
voting exclusively and as a separate class, pursuant to the first sentence of this Subsection 3.2, then any directorship not so filled shall remain vacant until such time as the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock or
Common Stock, as the case may be, elect a person to fill such directorship by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting; and no such directorship may be filled by stockholders of the Corporation other than by the stockholders of the Corporation
that are entitled to elect a person to fill such directorship, voting exclusively and as a separate class. The holders of record of the shares of Common Stock and of any other class or series of voting stock (including the Series A
Preferred Stock), exclusively and voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to elect the balance of the total number of directors of the Corporation. At any meeting held for the purpose of electing a director, the presence in person or by
proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the class or series entitled to elect such director shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing such director. Except as otherwise provided in this
Subsection 3.2, a vacancy in any directorship filled by the holders of any class or series shall be filled only by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of such class or series or by any
remaining director or directors elected by the holders of such class or series pursuant to this Subsection 3.2. 

3.3 Series A Preferred Stock Protective Provisions. At any time when at least 6,600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (subject to
appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock) are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by
amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Restated Certificate) the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-seven percent (67%)
of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class, and any such act or transaction entered into without such consent or vote
shall be null and void ab initio, and of no force or effect.

 4. Optional Conversion. 

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”): 

4.1 Right to Convert. 

4.1.1 Conversion Ratio. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time
and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Series A Original Issue Price by the Series A
Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The “Series A Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $0.71. Such initial Series A Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series A Preferred
Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below. 
 4.1.2 Termination of Conversion
Rights. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or a Deemed Liquidation Event, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of
any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock.

 4.2 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the holder is
at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. 
 4.3
Mechanics of Conversion. 
 4.3.1 Notice of Conversion. In order for a holder of Series A Preferred Stock to voluntarily
convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been
lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or
destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that such holder
elects to convert all or any number of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock represented by such certificate or certificates and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is contingent. Such notice shall state such holder’s name
or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or by
the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of such certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) and notice shall be the time of conversion (the “Conversion Time”), and the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by such certificate shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, (i) issue and deliver to such
holder of Series A Preferred Stock, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and a certificate for the number
(if any) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock, (ii) pay in cash such amount as provided in Subsection 4.2 in lieu of any
fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and (iii) pay all declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted.

 4.3.2 Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when the Series A
Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock
as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series A Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all
then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such
purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Restated Certificate. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Series A
Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the
Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Series A Conversion Price. 

4.3.3 Effect of Conversion. All shares of Series A Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided
shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor,
to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion as provided in Subsection 4.2 and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Any shares of Series A
Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the
authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock accordingly. 
 4.3.4 No Further Adjustment. Upon any such conversion, no
adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price shall be made for any declared but unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion. 

4.3.5 Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or
delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any
transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the
person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.

 4.4.2 No Adjustment of Series A Conversion Price. No adjustment in the Series A
Conversion Price shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock if the Corporation receives written notice from the holders of at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the then outstanding shares of
Series A Preferred Stock agreeing that no such adjustment shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock. 

4.4.3 Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock. 

(a) If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible
Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities,
then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained
therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be
Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date. 

(b) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price
pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4, are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms
pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any
such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the Series A
Conversion Price computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Series A Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised
terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have the effect of increasing the Series A Conversion Price to an
amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security, or (ii) the Series A Conversion Price that
would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the original adjustment date
and such readjustment date.

 (c) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible
Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4 (either because the consideration per share (determined
pursuant to Subsection 4.4.5) of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Series A Conversion Price then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the Series A
Original Issue Date), are revised after the Series A Original Issue Date as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such
terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option
or Convertible Security or (2) any decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common
Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Subsection 4.4.3(a) shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective. 

(d) Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which
resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4, the Series A Conversion Price shall be readjusted to
such Series A Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or portion thereof) never been issued. 
 (e)
If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at
the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price provided for in this Subsection 4.4.3 shall be
effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in clauses
(b) and (c) of this Subsection 4.4.3). If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the
Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, cannot be calculated at all at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended, any adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price that would result under the terms of this
Subsection 4.4.3 at the time of such issuance or amendment shall instead be effected at the time such number of shares and/or amount of consideration is first calculable (even if subject to subsequent adjustments), assuming
for purposes of calculating such adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price that such issuance or amendment took place at the time such calculation can first be made.

 4.4.4 Adjustment of Series A Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares of
Common Stock. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Series A Original Issue Date issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to
Subsection 4.4.3), without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue, then the Series A Conversion Price shall be reduced, concurrently
with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following formula: 

CP2 = CP1* (A + B) ÷ (A
+ C). 
 For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply: 

(a) “CP2” shall mean the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately
after such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock 
 (b) “CP1” shall
mean the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock; 
 (c) “A”
shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options outstanding
immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities (including the Series A Preferred Stock) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding Options therefor) immediately prior to such issue); 

(d) “B” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Shares of Common Stock had
been issued at a price per share equal to CP1 (determined by dividing the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation in respect of such issue by CP1); and 
 (e) “C” shall mean the number of such Additional Shares of Common
Stock issued in such transaction. 
 4.4.5 Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Subsection 4.4, the
consideration received by the Corporation for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows: 
 (a)
Cash and Property: Such consideration shall: 
  

	 	(i)	insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the aggregate amount of cash received by the Corporation, excluding amounts paid or payable for accrued interest; 


 

	 	(ii)	insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value thereof at the time of such issue, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation; and

	 	(iii)	in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Corporation for consideration which covers both, be the proportion of such consideration so
received, computed as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. 


(b) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Corporation for Additional Shares of Common Stock
deemed to have been issued pursuant to Subsection 4.4.3, relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing 

the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Corporation as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum
aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such
Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by

  

	 	(i)	the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of
such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.


 4.4.6 Multiple Closing Dates. In the event the Corporation shall issue on more than one date Additional Shares of
Common Stock that are a part of one transaction or a series of related transactions and that would result in an adjustment to the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Subsection 4.4.4, then, upon the final such issuance, the
Series A Conversion Price shall be readjusted to give effect to all such issuances as if they occurred on the date of the first such issuance (and without giving effect to any additional adjustments as a result of any such subsequent issuances
within such period).

 4.5 Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any
time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time
after the Series A Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this subsection shall become effective at the close of business
on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. 
 4.6 Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event
the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series A Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the
Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Series A Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have
been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Series A Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction: 

(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such
issuance or the close of business on such record date, and 
 (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made
on the date fixed therefor, the Series A Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Series A Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection as of the time of
actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Series A Preferred Stock simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to
the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event. 

4.7 Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series A
Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a

distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property and the provisions of Section 1 do not apply to such
dividend or distribution, then and in each such event the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property
in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event. 

4.8 Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of Subsection 2.3, if there shall occur any
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Series A Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than
a transaction covered by Subsections 4.4, 4.6 or 4.7), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible
in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one
share of Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 4 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Series A
Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Series A Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly
as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Subsection 4.8 shall be construed as preventing the
holders of Series A Preferred Stock from seeking any appraisal rights to which they are otherwise entitled under the DGCL in connection with a merger triggering an adjustment hereunder, nor shall this Subsection 4.8 be deemed conclusive
evidence of the fair value of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in any such appraisal proceeding. 
 4.9 Certificate as to
Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Series A Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any
event not later than 30 days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the
kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably
practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of Series A Preferred Stock (but in any event not later than 10 days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Series A
Conversion Price then in effect, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock.

securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such
exchange applicable to the Series A Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. Such notice shall be sent at least 10 days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.

 5.2 Procedural Requirements. All holders of record of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5. Such notice need not be sent
in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges
that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the
alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice. If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or
instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock converted pursuant to
Subsection 5.1, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender the
certificates at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence
of this Subsection 5.2. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time and the surrender of the certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall issue
and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, together with cash as provided in
Subsection 4.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and the payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted. Such
converted Series A Preferred Stock shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to
reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock accordingly. 
 5A. Special Mandatory Conversion. 

5A.1. Trigger Event. In the event that any holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock fails to fulfill its entire obligation to
participate in the Milestone Closing (as defined below) by purchasing, in the aggregate, in the Milestone Closing such holder’s Designated Amount (as defined below), then (i) each share of Preferred Stock held by such holder shall
automatically, effective upon, subject to, and concurrently with the consummation of the Milestone Closing and without any further action on the part of such holder, be converted into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of
(a) the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock is convertible pursuant to Subsection 4.1.1 immediately prior to the consummation of such Milestone Closing, divided by (b) ten and (ii) (a) nine
out of every ten shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock and held by such holder as of immediately prior to the Milestone Closing shall immediately be deemed surrendered and cancelled without any action on the part of such
holder, (b) the certificate or certificates formerly

evidencing the shares of Common Stock held by such holder prior to such cancellation shall be deemed only to represent the portion of such shares remaining outstanding following such
cancellation, and (c) upon surrender of such certificate or certificates (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation
to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) for such shares of Common Stock, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such
holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock that remain outstanding in accordance with the provisions hereof. For purposes of determining whether a holder of Preferred Stock has purchased in the Milestone
Closing its Designated Amount, all shares of Preferred Stock purchased by Investor Affiliates (as defined below) of such holder in the Milestone Closing shall be aggregated with the shares of Preferred Stock purchased by such holder in the Milestone
Closing (provided that no shares or securities shall be attributed to more than one entity or person within any such group of affiliated entities or persons). Such conversion is referred to as a “Special Mandatory
Conversion.” 
 5A.2. Procedural Requirements. Upon a Special Mandatory Conversion, each holder of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock converted pursuant to Subsection 5A.1 shall be sent written notice of such Special Mandatory Conversion and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Series A Preferred Stock
pursuant to this Section 5A. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges
that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the
alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice. If so required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or
instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock converted pursuant to
Subsection 5A.1, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the time of the Special Mandatory Conversion (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof
to surrender the certificates for such shares at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement), to receive the items
provided for in the next sentence of this Subsection 5A.2. As soon as practicable after the Special Mandatory Conversion and the surrender of the certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Series A Preferred
Stock so converted, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions
hereof, together with cash as provided in Subsection 4.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and the payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
converted. Such converted Series A Preferred Stock shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action)
as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock accordingly.
