(b) Manage,
supervise and administer the Trust Account subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;


 


(c) In
a timely manner, upon the written instruction of the Company, invest and reinvest the Property in United States government securities

or in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (or any successor rule), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations,
as determined by the Company; the Trustee may not invest in any other securities or assets, it being understood that the Trust
Account will earn no interest while account funds are uninvested awaiting the Company’s instructions hereunder; while on
deposit, the Trustee may earn bank credits or other consideration;


 


(d) Collect
and receive, when due, all interest or other income arising from the Property, which shall become part of the “Property,”
as such term is used herein;


 


(e) Promptly
notify the Company and the Representative of all communications received by the Trustee with respect to any Property requiring
action by the Company;


 


(f) Supply
any necessary information or documents as may be requested by the Company (or its authorized agents) in connection with the Company’s
preparation of tax returns relating to assets held in the Trust Account or in connection with the preparation or completion of
the audit of the Company’s financial statements by the Company’s auditors;


 


(g) Participate

of the Trust Account;


 


(i) Commence
liquidation of the Trust Account only after and promptly following (x) receipt of, and only in accordance with the terms of,
a letter from the Company (“Termination Letter”) in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto
as either Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, signed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer,
Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or other authorized officer of the Company (an “Authorized Representative”),
and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest
shall be net of any taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses),
only as directed in the Termination Letter and other documents referred to therein, or (y) upon the date which is the later
of (1) 24 months after the closing of the Offering and (2) such later date as may be approved by the Company’s
stockholders in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if a Termination Letter
has not been received by the Trustee prior to such date, in which case the Trust Account shall be liquidated in accordance with
the procedures set forth in the Termination Letter attached as Exhibit B and the Property in the Trust Account, including
interest (which interest shall be net of any taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company
to pay dissolution expenses) shall be distributed to the Public Stockholders of record as of such date;


 






    2


     


    

 


(j) Upon
written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto
as Exhibit C (a “Tax Payment Withdrawal Instruction”), withdraw from the Trust Account and distribute
on behalf of the Company the amount of interest earned on the Property requested by the Company to cover any tax obligation owed
by the Company as a result of assets of the Company or interest or other income earned on the Property, which amount shall be delivered
directly to the Company by electronic funds transfer or other method of prompt payment, and the Company shall forward such payment
to the relevant taxing authority; provided, however, that to the extent there is not sufficient cash in the Trust
Account to pay such tax obligation, the Trustee shall liquidate such assets held in the Trust Account as shall be designated by
the Company in writing to make such distribution so long as there is no reduction in the principal amount initially deposited in
the Trust Account; provided, further, however, that if the tax to be paid is a franchise tax, the written
request by the Company to make such distribution shall be accompanied by a copy of the franchise tax bill for the Company and a
written statement from the principal financial officer of the Company setting forth the actual amount payable (it being acknowledged
and agreed that any such amount in excess of interest income earned on the Property shall not be payable from the Trust Account).
The written request of the Company referenced above shall constitute presumptive evidence that the Company is entitled to said
funds, and the Trustee shall have no responsibility to look beyond said request;


 


(k) Upon
written request from the Company, which may be given from time to time in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto
as Exhibit D (a “Stockholder Redemption Withdrawal Instruction”), the Trustee shall distribute
to or on behalf of the Company the amount requested by the Company to be used to redeem shares of Common Stock from Public Stockholders
properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate
of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemptions in connection with
its initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares of Common Stock if the Company does not
complete its initial Business Combination within the time period set forth therein or (B) with respect to any other provision relating
to the Company’s stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The written request of the Company
referenced above shall constitute presumptive evidence that the Company is entitled to distribute said funds, and the Trustee shall
have no responsibility to look beyond said request; and


 


(l) Not
make any withdrawals or distributions from the Trust Account other than pursuant to Section 1(i), (j) or (k) above.


 






    3


     


    

 


2. Agreements
and Covenants of the Company. The Company hereby agrees and covenants to:


 


(a) Give
all instructions to the Trustee hereunder in writing, signed by an Authorized Representative of the Company. In addition, except
with respect to its duties under Sections 1(i), 1(j) and 1(k) hereof, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely
on, and shall be protected in relying on, any verbal or telephonic advice or instruction which it, in good faith and with reasonable
care, believes to be given by any one of the persons authorized above to give written instructions, provided that the Company shall
promptly confirm such instructions in writing;


 


(b) Subject
to Section 4 hereof, hold the Trustee harmless and indemnify the Trustee from and against any and all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable outside counsel fees and disbursements, or losses suffered by the Trustee in connection
with any action taken by it hereunder and in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding brought against the Trustee involving
any claim, or in connection with any claim or demand, which in any way arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services
of the Trustee hereunder, or the Property or any interest earned on the Property, except for expenses and losses resulting from
the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. Promptly after the receipt by the Trustee of notice of demand
or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, pursuant to which the Trustee intends to seek indemnification under
this Section 2(b), it shall notify the Company in writing of such claim (hereinafter referred to as the “Indemnified
Claim”). The Trustee shall have the right to conduct and manage the defense against such Indemnified Claim; provided
that the Trustee shall obtain the consent of the Company with respect to the selection of counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Trustee may not agree to settle any Indemnified Claim without the prior written consent of the Company, which such
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may participate in such action with its own counsel;


 


(c) Pay
the Trustee the fees set forth on Schedule A hereto, including an initial acceptance fee, annual administration fee, and
transaction processing fee, which fees shall be subject to modification by the parties from time to time. It is expressly understood
that the Property shall not be used to pay such fees unless and until it is distributed to the Company pursuant to Sections
1(i) through 1(j) hereof. The Company shall pay the Trustee the initial acceptance fee and the first annual administration
fee at the consummation of the Offering. The Company shall not be responsible for any other fees or charges of the Trustee except
as set forth in this Section 2(c) and as may be provided in Section 2(b) hereof;


 


(d) In
connection with any vote of the Company’s stockholders regarding any merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock
purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (a “Business
Combination”), provide to the Trustee an affidavit or certificate of the inspector of elections for the stockholder
meeting verifying the vote of such stockholders regarding such Business Combination;


 


(e) Provide
the Representative with a copy of any Termination Letter(s) and/or any other correspondence that is sent to the Trustee with respect
to any proposed withdrawal from the Trust Account promptly after it issues the same;


 






    4

to make any distributions that are not permitted under this Agreement; and


 


(g) Expressly
provide in any Instruction Letter (as defined in Exhibit A) delivered in connection with a Termination Letter in the form
of Exhibit A that the Marketing Fee be paid directly to the account or accounts directed by the Representative.

obligations, perform duties, inquire or otherwise be subject to the provisions of any agreement or document other than this Agreement
and that which is expressly set forth herein;


 


(b) Take

(d) Refund
any depreciation in principal of any Property;


 


(e) Assume
that the authority of any person designated by the Company to give instructions hereunder shall not be continuing unless provided

(f) The
other parties hereto or to anyone else for any action taken or omitted by it, or any action suffered by it to be taken or omitted,
in good faith and in the Trustee’s best judgment, except for the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct.
The Trustee may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any written direction, order, notice, demand, certificate,
opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Trustee with written notification to the Company, which counsel may
be the Company’s counsel), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and
the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained)
which the Trustee believes, in good faith and with reasonable care, to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person
or persons. The Trustee shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this
Agreement or any of the terms hereof, unless evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the Trustee, signed by the proper party
or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Trustee are affected, unless it shall give its prior written consent thereto;


 


(g) Verify
the accuracy of the information contained in the Registration Statement;

(j) Prepare,
execute and file tax reports, income or other tax returns and pay any taxes with respect to any income generated by, and activities
relating to, the Trust Account, regardless of whether such tax is payable by the Trust Account or the Company, including, but not
limited to, franchise and income tax obligations, except pursuant to Section 1(j) hereof; or


 


(k) Verify
calculations, qualify or otherwise approve the Company’s written requests for distributions pursuant to Sections 1(i),

4. Trust
Account Waiver. The Trustee has no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”)
to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account
that it may have now or in the future. In the event the Trustee has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, including,
without limitation, under Section 2(b) or Section 2(c) hereof, the Trustee shall pursue such Claim solely against
the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the Property or any monies in the Trust Account.

This Agreement shall terminate as follows:


 


(a) If
the Trustee gives written notice to the Company that it desires to resign under this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable
efforts to locate a successor trustee, pending which the Trustee shall continue to act in accordance with this Agreement. At such
time that the Company notifies the Trustee that a successor trustee has been appointed and has agreed to become subject to the
terms of this Agreement (whether following the Trustee giving notice that it desires to resign under this Agreement or the Company
otherwise electing to replace the Trustee under this Agreement), the Trustee shall transfer the management of the Trust Account
to the successor trustee, including but not limited to the transfer of copies of the reports and statements relating to the Trust
Account, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate; provided, however, that in the event that the Company does not
locate a successor trustee within ninety (90) days of receipt of the resignation notice from the Trustee, the Trustee may submit

for the Southern District of New York and upon such deposit, the Trustee shall be immune from any liability whatsoever;


 


(b) At
such time that the Trustee has completed the liquidation of the Trust Account and its obligations in accordance with the provisions
of Section 1(i) hereof and distributed the Property in accordance with the provisions of the Termination Letter, this Agreement
shall terminate except with respect to Section 2(b); or


 






    6


     


    

 


(c) If
the Offering is not consummated within ten (10) business days of the date of this Agreement, in which case any funds received by
the Trustee from the Company or EcoR1 Panacea Holdings, LLC, as applicable, shall be returned promptly following the receipt by
the Trustee of written instructions from the Company.


 


6. Miscellaneous.


 


(a) The
Company and the Trustee each acknowledge that the Trustee will follow the security procedures set forth herein with respect to
funds transferred from the Trust Account. The Company and the Trustee will each restrict access to confidential information relating
to such security procedures to authorized persons. Each party must notify the other party immediately if it has reason to believe
unauthorized persons may have obtained access to such confidential information, or of any change in its authorized personnel. In
executing funds transfers, the Trustee shall rely upon all information supplied to it by the Company, including, account names,
account numbers, and all other identifying information relating to a Beneficiary, Beneficiary’s bank or intermediary bank.
Except for any liability arising out of the Trustee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, the Trustee shall not

(c) This
Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except

vote of sixty-five percent (65%) of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per
share, of the Company voting together as a single class; provided that no such amendment will affect any Public Stockholder who
has otherwise validly indicated his, her or its election to redeem his, her or its shares of Common Stock in connection with a
stockholder vote sought to amend this Agreement), this Agreement or any provision hereof may only be changed, amended or modified
(other than to correct a typographical error) by a writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

	Re:		Trust Account – Termination Letter



 


Dear Mr. Wolf and Ms. Gonzalez:


 


Pursuant to Section
1(i) of the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Panacea Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) and
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”), dated as of [●], 2020 (the “Trust
Agreement”), this is to advise you that the Company has entered into an agreement with___________________ (the “Target
Business”) to consummate a business combination with Target Business (the “Business Combination”)
on or about [insert date]. The Company shall notify you at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance of the actual date (or such
shorter time period as you may agree) of the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Consummation Date”).
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Trust Agreement.


 


In accordance with the
terms of the Trust Agreement, we hereby authorize you to commence to liquidate all of the assets of the Trust Account and to transfer
the proceeds into the above-referenced trust operating account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. to the effect that, on the Consummation
Date, all of the funds held in the Trust Account will be immediately available for transfer to the account or accounts that the
Company shall direct on the Consummation Date. It is acknowledged and agreed that while the funds are on deposit in the trust operating
account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. awaiting distribution, neither the Company nor the Representative will earn any interest
or dividends.


 


On the Consummation
Date (i) counsel for the Company shall deliver to you written notification that the Business Combination has been consummated,
or will be consummated substantially, concurrently with your transfer of funds to the accounts as directed by the Company (the
“Notification”) and (ii) the Company shall deliver to you (a) a certificate by the Chief Executive
Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company, which verifies that the Business Combination has been approved by a vote of
the Company’s stockholders, if a vote is held, and (b) joint written instruction signed by the Company and the Representative
with respect to the transfer of the funds held in the Trust Account, including payment of the Marketing Fee from the Trust Account
(the “Instruction Letter”). You are hereby directed and authorized to transfer the funds held in the
Trust Account immediately upon your receipt of the Notification and the Instruction Letter, in accordance with the terms of the
Instruction Letter. In the event that certain deposits held in the Trust Account may not be liquidated by the Consummation Date
without penalty, you will notify the Company in writing of the same and the Company shall direct you as to whether such funds should
remain in the Trust Account and be distributed after the Consummation Date to the Company. Upon the distribution of all the funds,
net of any payments necessary for reasonable unreimbursed expenses related to liquidating the Trust Account, your obligations under
the Trust Agreement shall be terminated.


 


In the event that the
Business Combination is not consummated on the Consummation Date described in the notice thereof and we have not notified you on
or before the original Consummation Date of a new Consummation Date, then upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions from
the Company, the funds held in the Trust Account shall be reinvested as provided in Section 1(c) of the Trust Agreement on the
business day immediately following the Consummation Date as set forth in the notice as soon thereafter as possible.
