***Common stock***

This is an initial public offering of shares of common stock of Heartflow, Inc. We are offering&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of

our common stock to be sold in this offering. The initial public offering price is expected to be between $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

and $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. We have applied to list our common

stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the trading symbol "HTFL," and this offering is contingent upon

obtaining such approval.

Upon completion of this offering, our executive officers, directors, owners of 5% or more of our capital stock and

their respective affiliates will own, in the aggregate, approximately&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; % of our common stock (assuming no

exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares and no purchases of shares in this offering by

anyone in this group). These stockholders will be able to exercise significant control over matters requiring

stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of our organizational documents, and

approval of any merger, sale of assets, and other major corporate transactions.

We are an "emerging growth company" as defined under the U.S. federal securities laws and, as such, have

elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements in this prospectus and may elect to

do so in future filings. See the section titled "Prospectus summary—Implications of being an emerging growth

company."

**Overview**

We have pioneered the use of software and AI to deliver a more accurate and clinically effective non-

invasive solution for diagnosing and managing coronary artery disease ("CAD"), a leading cause of death

worldwide. As of March 31, 2025, our Heartflow Platform has been used to assess CAD in more than

400,000 patients, including 132,000 in 2024 alone. We believe that we are the most widely adopted AI-

powered test for CAD. Our novel platform leverages AI and advanced computational fluid dynamics to

create a personalized 3D model of a patient's heart from a single coronary computed tomography

angiography ("CCTA"), a specialized type of scan that provides detailed images of the heart's arteries.

Our Heartflow Platform delivers actionable insights on blood flow, stenosis, plaque volume and plaque

composition thereby overcoming the limitations of traditional non-invasive imaging tests which rely on

indirect measures of coronary disease and lead to higher false negative and false positive rates, as

demonstrated by our PRECISE trial. We believe the differentiated accuracy and clinical utility of our

Heartflow Platform, along with its ability to enhance workflows, will continue to support our growth and

advance the "CCTA + Heartflow" pathway as the definitive standard for the non-invasive diagnosis and

management of CAD.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, with CAD being the most lethal form.

CAD occurs when plaque—a buildup of cholesterol, fat, calcium and other substances—accumulates on

the walls of the coronary arteries, restricting blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke.

This condition is responsible for half of all cardiovascular-related deaths globally. In the United States

alone, the Centers for Disease Control ("CDC") estimates that approximately 805,000 people suffer a

heart attack each year. Despite significant advancements in therapeutic and interventional treatments,

CAD remains a leading cause of death globally because healthcare systems generally lack scalable

methods to efficiently detect, diagnose and quantify CAD at a personalized level.

Based on our analyses using Clarivate's ProcedureFinder data repository, we estimate that there were

approximately 9.5 million non-invasive tests ("NITs") in the United States in 2023 for patients experiencing

stable or acute chest pain, which we refer to as symptomatic CAD patients. These NITs primarily include

stress tests, such as single-photon emission computed tomography ("SPECT"), echocardiography and

positron emission tomography ("PET"), which infer the presence of heart disease based on how well

blood is supplied to the heart, and do not measure the actual disease itself. Accordingly, these tests have

been shown to be unreliable and inconsistent.

CCTA has emerged as a leading non-invasive imaging method for evaluating CAD, offering direct and

detailed visualization of the coronary arteries. Unlike traditional stress-based NITs, CCTA enables

physicians to identify the presence and extent of coronary blockage. As a result, CCTA has become the

preferred first-line test for patients with suspected CAD, as evidenced by the AHA and ACC guidelines

elevating CCTA to Class 1, Level A. However, while CCTA provides superior anatomical imaging, it does

not independently quantify the severity of CAD, assess blood flow limitations, or characterize plaque

composition—critical factors for determining the most appropriate, personalized course of treatment for a

patient.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Our Heartflow Platform builds upon the well established strengths of CCTA by going beyond its limitations

and providing new quantified insights and compelling visualizations of data. By applying our advanced AI-

powered technology to a single CCTA scan, we generate a precise, patient-specific analysis that

quantifies blood flow, measures plaque burden, and characterizes plaque composition—at every point in

the major coronary arteries.

To date, we have developed three software products (with a fourth product expected to launch in 2026)

under the Heartflow Platform that provide physicians with the critical insights needed to effectively

diagnose and manage CAD:

• *Heartflow RoadMap Analysis* offers a highly intuitive anatomic visualization of the coronary arteries,

helping physicians quickly identify clinically relevant areas to focus their review. We provide Heartflow

RoadMap Analysis to accounts as an integrated feature to enhance the efficiency of their CCTA

program and it is not a stand-alone product.

• *Heartflow FFR*CT *Analysis* calculates blood flow and pinpoints clinically significant CAD, which is CAD

with a fractional flow reserve ("FFR") value of 0.80 or below, at every point in the major coronary

arteries. FFR measures the severity of blood flow restriction in the coronary arteries on a scale of 1.0

(no restriction) to 0.0 (complete blockage) by assessing pressure differences across a stenosis during

induced stress, guiding decisions on whether a patient requires invasive revascularization.

• *Heartflow Plaque Analysis* provides a comprehensive assessment of coronary plaque, enabling

optimized medical treatment strategies.

• *Heartflow PCI Planner*, which we expect to launch in 2026, will provide advanced visualization and

clinical insights to optimize revascularization strategies, guide device selection, enhance procedural

efficiency, and improve patient care. We plan to provide Heartflow PCI Planner to accounts as an

integrated feature to enhance procedural efficiency, not as a stand-alone product.

We believe we are the first and most widely-adopted AI-powered test for CAD. With over a decade of

commercial presence, we have established a competitively differentiated data set of approximately 110

million annotated images, which is primarily sourced from our commercial relationships with customers,

driving training and refinement of our algorithms for over 10 years and the ability to train new AI models

for future products.

We believe our Heartflow Platform delivers the following key benefits:

• **More accurate non-invasive test for CAD**, clinically validated to provide superior assessment of

blood flow, plaque volume and plaque characterization compared to traditional non-invasive methods.

• **More informed assessments, personalized care, and better risk stratification**, positively

impacting physician decisions on which patients should receive an intervention, supporting more

efficient intervention planning and driving more personalized medical management.

• **Superior economic efficiency and enhanced interventional treatment planning**, accurately

identifying more patients who need interventional treatment while reducing unnecessary invasive

procedures—significantly improving the efficiency of the catheterization lab and therefore hospital

economics.

• **Proprietary, secure bi-directional data communication with customers** that feeds a growing

database of approximately 110 million annotated CCTA images that we leverage to improve the

Heartflow Platform's accuracy, automation and clinical utility and seamlessly deliver new features and

workflow efficiencies to our customers.

• **Improved workflow** through our Heartflow RoadMap Analysis that, as demonstrated in our SMART-

CT study, reduces CCTA interpretation times by approximately 25% and reduces variability between

reviewing physicians by approximately 40%, leading to more consistent diagnoses and standardized

patient care.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

• **Better patient and provider experience**, by leveraging a single CCTA for all of our products,

patients complete their test in approximately 20 minutes with significantly lower radiation exposure

compared to nuclear imaging tests such as SPECT and PET that take multiple hours and require

radioactive tracers to be injected into the bloodstream. By providing a definitive diagnosis upfront, the

Heartflow Platform eliminates the need for layered testing, streamlining the patient journey and

reducing anxiety associated with uncertain or inconclusive results.

We estimate our current market opportunity in the United States for our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and

Heartflow Plaque Analysis is approximately $5 billion. Based on our analyses using Clarivate's

ProcedureFinder data repository, we estimate that approximately 9.5 million unique stable chest pain

patients receive NITs in the United States annually. In addition, based on our FORECAST randomized

trial, we further estimate that 33% of patients have stenosis levels between 40% and 90%, which results

in approximately 2.8 million patients eligible for our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis in the stable setting. Based

on the Martin paper, where there were approximately 577,000 hospital discharges in the United States in

2020 due to a principal diagnosis of acute chest pain, and the Bhatt paper, where No ST Elevation

("NSTE") related acute chest pain accounted for approximately 70% of acute chest pain, we further

estimate that the annual incidence of patients who have acute chest pain with NSTE is approximately 0.4

million patients. Of these approximately 0.4 million patients, we estimate based on the Kofoed paper that

approximately 70% have obstructive disease and are eligible for our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis, which

results in approximately 0.3 million acute chest pain patients eligible for our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis.

Therefore, we believe there is a market opportunity of approximately 3.1 million patients eligible for our

Heartflow FFRCT Analysis, which, at a U.S. average sales price of $1,067, translates to an estimated

market opportunity of approximately $3.3 billion in the United States.

In addition, we believe our Heartflow Plaque Analysis is applicable to approximately 60% of those 9.5

million NIT patients annually and the majority of patients experiencing acute chest pain. Based on our

PROMISE trial and the Hoffmann paper, we estimate that approximately 60% of CCTA patients have

plaque and are eligible for plaque analysis, which translates to approximately 5.1 million patients eligible

for our Heartflow Plaque Analysis in a stable setting. Based on our internal analysis and the findings in the

Wang paper, where less than 5% of patients were expected to be contraindicated for CCTA, we also

estimate that all of the approximately 0.4 million patients with acute chest pain with NSTE referred to

above will be eligible for our Heartflow Plaque Analysis. Therefore, we believe there is a market

opportunity of approximately 5.5 million patients eligible for our Heartflow Plaque Analysis, which, at an

estimated U.S. sales price of $300, translates to an estimated market opportunity of approximately an

incremental $1.7 billion in the United States.

Beyond the commercialization of Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and Heartflow Plaque Analysis in symptomatic

CAD, we see a significant market opportunity for our technologies in at-risk individuals who show no

symptoms, a segment comprised of approximately 200 million people globally, based on data from the

U.S. Census Bureau, CDC, Eurostat, United Kingdom Office of National Statistics, the Yang paper and

the MacDonald paper. To unlock this potential, we are continuing to evaluate new product opportunities

and appropriate clinical evidence supporting eventual regulatory approval, payor coverage and

commercialization.

We believe the Heartflow Platform is the most extensively studied AI-enabled test for CAD. Our belief is

grounded in our analysis, including that the Heartflow Platform and its accuracy, clinical utility and

economic benefits have been evaluated in over 100 clinical studies and more than 130,000 patients,

including our PRECISE and FORECAST trials, each a large randomized controlled trial, with results

published in over 600 peer-reviewed clinical publications. Our studies, including the PRECISE, NXT and

PACIFIC trials, have consistently demonstrated that the Heartflow Platform is more accurate than

traditional non-invasive tests and highly concordant to invasive testing, reduces unnecessary invasive

testing, and enables physicians to optimize treatment and ultimately provide more efficient care.

We have developed a highly scalable, capital efficient commercial model that combines Territory Sales

Managers ("TSMs") who drive new account adoption with Territory Account Managers ("TAMs") who focus

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

on increasing utilization by educating referring physicians. Our commercial team does not cover cases or

otherwise spend time in an operating room or lab setting, which enables them to focus solely on driving

commercial adoption and educational activities.

Our technology is simple and intuitive and does not require the purchase of any capital equipment. Our

onboarding process seamlessly integrates the Heartflow Platform into the customer's daily workflow.

These unique attributes of our business model afford our commercial organization a differentiated level of

efficiency and scalability.

Current clinical guidelines strongly support the adoption of the Heartflow Platform. The CCTA + Heartflow

FFRCT Analysis pathway is supported by the American Heart Association ("AHA") and American College of

Cardiology ("ACC") guidelines, with CCTA identified as a Class 1, Level A test and Heartflow FFRCT

Analysis identified as a Class 2a, Level B test for the diagnosis of CAD in certain patients with stable or

acute chest pain and no known CAD. The AHA and ACC guidelines utilize Classes and Levels to indicate

the strength of a recommendation and the quality of supporting evidence, respectively. Class 1 represents

the strongest recommendation, followed by Class 2a, which represents a moderate recommendation.

Similarly, Level A signifies the highest quality of evidence, while Level B indicates moderate quality.

We believe current reimbursement policies support the adoption of the Heartflow Platform. Our Heartflow

FFRCT Analysis is reimbursed under a dedicated Category I Current Procedural Terminology ("CPT")

code, effective as of January 1, 2024, and has established coverage policies representing approximately

99% of covered lives in the United States. A Category I CPT code was recently established for Heartflow

Plaque Analysis. It will go into effect on January 1, 2026, and is covered by all seven Medicare

administrative contractor ("MACs"). A Category I CPT code designates a procedure or service that uses

device(s) with Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") clearance or approval (when required), is performed

by many physicians across the United States for its intended clinical use, aligns with current medical

practice, and has documented efficacy in literature. The Category I CPT status for our Heartflow FFRCT

Analysis and Heartflow Plaque Analysis validates their widespread use and distinguish them from

emerging technologies that are assigned Category III CPT codes.

We primarily generate revenue on a "pay-per-click" basis each time a physician chooses to review either

our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis, Heartflow Plaque Analysis, or both. Heartflow FFRCT Analysis has served

as our commercial foundation, representing 99% of our total revenue as of March 31, 2025. In the second

half of 2023, we initiated limited market education efforts for Heartflow Plaque Analysis, our second

commercial product. Our Heartflow RoadMap Analysis is generally provided as a workflow efficiency tool

to drive customer retention and loyalty and is not a stand-alone product. We expect to launch our next

product, Heartflow PCI Planner, in 2026 as an integrated feature to enhance procedural efficiency, not as

a stand-alone product.

We have experienced significant revenue growth since we began commercializing the Heartflow Platform

in 2015. We recognized revenue of $125.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to

revenue of $87.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, representing 44% year-over-year growth.

We recognized revenue of $37.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to

revenue of $26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing 39% growth over the

prior year period. The software-based nature of our Heartflow Platform produces an attractive gross

margin profile, which continues to expand as we leverage AI to automate an increasing portion of our

"human-in-the loop" quality control process, where learnings are fed back into our algorithms to make

them smarter and more efficient. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, we generated gross

margins of 75%, an increase of 8 percentage points year-over-year from December 31, 2023. Our net

losses were $95.7 million and $96.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024,

respectively. Our accumulated deficit was $874.5 million and $971.0 million as of December 31, 2023 and

2024, respectively. Our net losses were $20.9 million and $32.3 million for the three months ended March

31, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Our accumulated deficit was $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2025. For the

three months ended March 31, 2025, we generated gross margins of 75%, an increase of 3 percentage

points over the three months ended March 31, 2024.

**Market overview and opportunity** 

***Overview of CAD***

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, with CAD being the most lethal form.

CAD occurs when plaque—a buildup of cholesterol, fat, calcium and other substances—accumulates on

the walls of the coronary arteries, restricting blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke.

This condition is responsible for half of all cardiovascular-related deaths globally.

Key risk factors, including high cholesterol, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity,

and genetic predisposition, accelerate plaque formation and destabilization. In the United States alone,

the CDC estimates that approximately 805,000 people suffer a heart attack each year. CAD can be

effectively treated with well-established therapeutics designed to reduce plaque progression and change

its composition, or interventional procedures used to open the arteries and restore blood flow. However,

achieving an accurate diagnosis for the condition has historically been the primary roadblock for the

effective care and management of CAD.

NITs are the first line approach for detecting CAD in symptomatic patients. Based on our analyses using

Clarivate's ProcedureFinder data repository, with 9.5 million tests performed for the diagnosis of CAD in

the United States in 2023, NITs are by far the most widely used method to diagnose CAD. However,

traditional NITs are not able to measure lesion-specific blood flow and are not an efficient or effective way

to calculate plaque volume and composition. As a result, they lack the key metrics physicians need to

guide treatment decisions and have been clinically shown to be unreliable and inconsistent for diagnosing

CAD.

***Limitations of traditional non-invasive tests for CAD***

There are two primary types of NITs: (i) stress tests, which infer the presence of CAD based on blood

perfusion, and (ii) CCTA, which directly images the patient's coronary arteries.

Stress-based NITs include SPECT, PET and stress echocardiography. Stress-based NITs rely on

surrogate markers of CAD to deduce the disease in the coronary artery without actually assessing the

coronary arteries or the disease itself. As a result, approximately 20–50% of patients who undergo stress-

based NITs go home with false negatives, or undetected CAD that should have required an intervention,

based on the Nakanishi paper and the Yokota paper. In addition, based on the 2014 Patel paper, up to

55% of patients receive false positives and are sent to the cardiac catheterization lab for an invasive

diagnostic angiography when an intervention was never needed exposing patients to unnecessary risks

including vascular injury and bleeding complications. This results in significant additional costs to the

healthcare system and poor patient experience.

CCTA is a high-resolution 3D imaging method that uses X-rays to produce detailed pictures of the heart's

arteries and other structures. The analyses performed by our Heartflow Platform rely on CCTA images

from third-party CT manufacturers. Because CCTA images are used across multiple medical practices, by

different medical professionals and others, CT scanners have historically and currently output CCTA

images in standard file formats rather than proprietary formats. Unlike stress tests that rely on indirect

measures to infer heart disease, CCTA provides direct visualization of the patient's anatomy and can

allow for a comprehensive visual assessment of coronary stenosis and plaque burden. CCTA has been

clinically demonstrated in the SCOT-HEART trial to have the highest diagnostic performance of all

traditional non-invasive imaging tests for CAD. In recognition of its superior diagnostic accuracy, in

October 2021 the AHA and ACC elevated CCTA to a first line Class 1, Level A test in the guidelines for

certain patients with stable or acute chest pain and no known CAD, above stress testing which is Class 1,

Level B. While CCTA accurately identifies stenosis in the coronary arteries, it does not calculate the blood

flow through the arteries to identify whether the stenosis is clinically significant and does not provide

plaque quantification or composition without significant and time-consuming and variable manual

calculations.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Our Heartflow Platform, which requires a CCTA image from a CT scanner to perform its analysis,

significantly improves the clinical utility of CCTA and addresses the limitations of traditional non-invasive

CAD testing by combining existing CCTA images with our AI algorithms to provide actionable data on

blood flow, stenosis, plaque volume and plaque composition. This delivers superior clinical utility relative

to other NITs and compelling economic benefits, which are supported by extensive clinical evidence. As a

result, we believe the CCTA + Heartflow pathway will become the standard of care for the non-invasive

diagnosis of CAD over time.

***Our symptomatic CAD market opportunity***

We estimate our current market opportunity in the United States for our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and

Heartflow Plaque Analysis is approximately $5 billion. Based on our analyses using Clarivate's

ProcedureFinder data repository, we estimate that there were approximately 9.5 million NITs in the United

States for the diagnosis of CAD in 2023. In addition, based on our FORECAST randomized trial and the

Wang paper, we believe there were approximately 8.6 million patients that were addressable with CCTA

after accounting for layered testing and contraindications to CCTA. CCTA testing volumes have grown

rapidly, and we believe they will continue to outpace the broader market growth driven by the recently

established Class 1, Level A guidelines, superior clinical utility to stress tests and improved

reimbursement.

Our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis is reimbursed for use on any CCTA showing 40% to 90% stenosis, which,

based on our FORECAST randomized trial, we estimate to be approximately 33% of all CCTAs annually.

We believe that CCTA + Heartflow FFRCT Analysis therefore is applicable to 33% of the NIT market and a

majority of patients experiencing acute chest pain, which represents 3.1 million patients and an estimated

market opportunity of approximately $3.3 billion in the United States. Our Heartflow Plaque Analysis is

reimbursed for plaque identified on CCTA with 1% to 69% stenosis, which, based on our PROMISE trial

and the Hoffmann paper, we estimate to cover approximately 60% of all CCTAs annually and a majority of

patients experiencing acute chest pain. We believe that CCTA + Heartflow Plaque Analysis is therefore

applicable to 60% of the NIT market, which represents 5.5 million patients and an estimated market

opportunity of an incremental approximately $1.7 billion in the United States.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

While our current focus is on the United States and the Heartflow Platform has been cleared by the FDA

(K213857), our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis has commercial presence and regulatory approval in the United

Kingdom, European Union, Australia, Canada and Japan. The Heartflow Platform has also been cleared

by the equivalent regulatory authorities in Israel, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and licensed in

Bahrain. In the future we may expand our international presence beyond these markets and extend our

platform to additional indications.

**Our technology**

Heartflow enhances CCTA, the most advanced non-invasive imaging modality for assessing CAD, with

AI-powered analysis to deliver more accurate and clinically actionable insights for diagnosing and

managing CAD. The Heartflow Platform applies deep learning, an advanced form of AI, and

computational fluid dynamics to CCTA images to create a personalized 3D model of a patient's heart

based on a single CCTA image. This model provides actionable insights into blood flow, stenosis, plaque

volume and plaque composition allowing precise diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment planning –

without the need for an invasive procedure.

The CCTA + Heartflow pathway addresses the limitations of traditional non-invasive tests that only assess

indirect measures for coronary disease and therefore result in higher rates of false negative and false

positive CAD diagnoses, as demonstrated by our PRECISE trial. We believe the differentiated accuracy

and clinical utility of the CCTA + Heartflow pathway will continue to support our growth and advance the

standard for the non-invasive diagnosis and management of CAD.

We designed our AI-powered software platform to be highly scalable, seamlessly integrate into existing

physician workflows for diagnosing CAD, and improve as we ingest more data over time. By leveraging AI

to process massive volumes of cases and a "human-in-the loop" quality control process, where learnings

are fed back into our algorithms to improve their performance and efficiency, we have rapidly scaled our

platform to deliver accurate, timely results to benefit physicians and patients alike.

***Our product portfolio***

To date, we have created three software products (with a fourth product expected to launch in 2026) in a

unified platform and user experience that provide the critical data physicians need to effectively manage

patients with suspected CAD.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**Heartflow RoadMap Analysis:** The Heartflow RoadMap Analysis provides

![ffrctanalysis2.jpg](ffrctanalysis2.jpg)

![picture1number3.jpg](picture1number3.jpg)

a highly intuitive anatomic visualization of the patient's coronary anatomy

based on CCTA images. It rapidly orients the imaging physician to clinically

relevant areas of the patient anatomy and provides a preview of what they

will review in the native CCTA images to aid the physician in accurately,

efficiently and consistently identifying stenosis in the coronary arteries.

Heartflow RoadMap Analysis supports more efficient radiology workflow,

improving CCTA read times by 25% and increasing consistency between

reviewing physicians by approximately 40%, as demonstrated in our

SMART-CT study. Physicians use Heartflow Roadmap Analysis as a first-

line assessment tool along with CCTA interpretation to determine whether

to order our more detailed Heartflow FFRCT Analysis or Heartflow Plaque

Analysis reports. We generally provide Heartflow RoadMap Analysis to

accounts as an integrated feature to enhance the efficiency and

consistency of their CCTA programs and it is not a stand-alone product.

We believe the efficiency that Heartflow RoadMap Analysis provides our

customers has resulted in enhanced customer loyalty and retention.

**Heartflow FFRCT Analysis:** Our flagship product, Heartflow FFRCT

Analysis, consists of a patient-specific, interactive, 3D anatomical

reconstruction of the coronary anatomy that identifies clinically significant

CAD at every point in the major coronary arteries to determine the need

for intervention. Our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis has the highest diagnostic

accuracy for a non-invasive CAD test and has demonstrated a high level

of concordance to invasive FFR, as seen in our PRECISE, NXT and

PACIFIC trials. Current AHA and ACC guidelines designated CCTA as a

Class 1, Level A test for CAD in certain patients with stable or acute chest

pain and no known CAD, and Heartflow FFRCT Analysis as a Class 2a,

Level B test to help physicians guide patient treatment decisions. As of

March 31, 2025, Heartflow FFRCT Analysis represented 99% of our total

revenue.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**Heartflow Plaque Analysis:**Heartflow Plaque Analysis transforms

![prospectussummary6a.jpg](prospectussummary6a.jpg)

coronary plaque assessment from a time-consuming and variable manual

process, which is seldom clinically used, into a rapid, automated, and

highly precise AI-driven solution. The Heartflow Plaque Analysis

automatically provides a comprehensive 3D assessment of a patient's

coronary plaque, including a characterization of plaque types and

quantification of plaque volumes at every point in the major coronary

arteries. The Heartflow Plaque Analysis has been validated against the

reference standard of invasive intravascular ultrasound ("IVUS") and

shown to have a 95% agreement with IVUS in quantifying total coronary

plaque volume in our REVEALPLAQUE study. Moreover, our current

findings from the DECIDE registry show the Heartflow Plaque Analysis

led to medical management change in over half of patients beyond CCTA

alone. Because coronary plaque volume is a strong predictor of a

patient's risk of having a heart attack, this data offers incremental

predictive power over risk factors and stenosis alone and can aid the physician in optimizing medical

management. Our Heartflow Plaque Analysis was cleared by the FDA in October 2022. We began our

limited market education efforts in the second half of 2023, and we expect to broaden our market

education efforts as payor coverage for Heartflow Plaque Analysis increases. We also anticipate our

Heartflow Plaque Analysis to be included in updated cardiac imaging guidelines by radiology benefit

manager EviCore by Evernorth, which provides coverage guidelines to leading commercial health

insurers, effective October 1, 2025.

**Heartflow PCI Planner:** Heartflow PCI Planner, which we expect to launch in 2026, will enable pre-

percutaneous coronary intervention ("PCI") assessment of coronary anatomy, lesion-specific physiology

and plaque localization through an interactive 3D model, combined in a single interface. The tool will

provide interventional cardiologists with advanced visualization and clinical insights to help answer critical

questions for revascularization strategies, such as which lesions to treat, how to treat them, the

complexity of PCI, the need for calcium modification, what ancillary tool to use and how to optimize stent

quantity, size and placement. We expect Heartflow PCI Planner to offer procedural efficiency through

advanced preparation, improved patient care by ensuring optimal treatment at the right time and

increased clinician confidence with detailed pre-procedure knowledge. We plan to provide Heartflow PCI

Planner to accounts as an integrated feature to enhance procedural efficiency, not as a stand-alone

product.

***Key benefits of our Heartflow Platform***

We believe the unique features of our technology allow us to offer superior clinical utility and economic

value to our customers and the broader healthcare system. The key benefits offered by our Heartflow

Platform include:

• **More accurate non-invasive test for CAD:** Our Heartflow products provide a more accurate non-

invasive assessment of blood flow, plaque characterization and plaque volume compared to

traditional non-invasive tests. Our clinical trials have demonstrated that Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and

Heartflow Plaque Analysis have a high level of concordance to the invasive reference standards of

FFR and IVUS, respectively, and that Heartflow FFRCT Analysis has superior diagnostic accuracy to

CCTA alone as well as both SPECT and PET.

• **More informed assessments and personalized care:** Our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and Heartflow

Plaque Analysis have been clinically demonstrated to improve physician decisions on intervention

and treatment planning. Multiple studies and registries have demonstrated that physicians changed

their treatment approach after reviewing our AI-powered reports.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

• **Superior economic efficiency:** Our PRECISE prospective randomized controlled trial demonstrated

that our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis was 78% more likely to identify patients in need of

revascularization and showed a 69% reduction in unnecessary invasive tests as compared to a "usual

care" pathway. The net effect of this pathway was 2x the yield of invasive coronary angiography

leading to a revascularization procedure. As a result, our internal analysis based on the PRECISE

data demonstrated a 20% increase in net revenue for the cardiac catheterization lab, on average.

• **Improved workflow:** Our Heartflow RoadMap Analysis offers significant workflow benefits, including

improving workflow efficiency by reducing CCTA interpretation times by approximately 25%, as

demonstrated in our SMART-CT study.

• **Enhanced interventional treatment planning:** The additional detail on individual patient anatomy

and disease state provided by our Heartflow Platform allows for pre-operative selection of appropriate

tools. We believe this saves valuable cardiac catheterization lab time and facilitates a more efficient

procedure.

• **Better patient and provider experience:** By leveraging a single CCTA for all of our products,

patients complete their test in approximately 20 minutes with significantly lower radiation exposure

compared to nuclear imaging tests such as SPECT and PET that take multiple hours and require

radioactive tracers to be injected into the bloodstream. By providing a definitive diagnosis upfront, the

Heartflow Platform eliminates the need for layered testing, streamlining the patient journey and

reducing anxiety associated with uncertain or inconclusive results.

We believe the benefits of our Heartflow Platform add significant value across all the subspecialties that

impact cardiovascular care including referring cardiologists, imaging physicians and interventionalists. We

have structured our sales force to efficiently call on these key physician stakeholders, with a primary

focus on the imaging physicians who are instrumental in new account adoption and the referring

physicians who are critical to driving volume growth at our existing accounts.

compared to 77% for the same period in 2024. The estimated increase in revenue is primarily attributable

to a&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; % increase in revenue case volume. We expect the number of revenue cases to be

approximately&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; in the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to 33,039 for the same period in

2024, an increase of&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; %. The estimated decrease in our gross margin for the three months ended June

30, 2025 was primarily attributable to our investment in the hiring and training of additional personnel in

our production team to support our increasing revenue case volume. Although we expect to continue to

invest in the hiring and training of additional personnel in our production team, we expect our gross

margin will increase over the longer term.

• We have incurred significant net losses since our inception, we expect to incur additional substantial

losses in the foreseeable future and we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability.

• Our revenue is currently generated almost entirely from the sales of only one product, Heartflow

FFRCT Analysis, and we are therefore highly dependent on the success of this product, which makes

it difficult to evaluate our current business, predict our future prospects and forecast our financial

performance and any growth.

• If healthcare providers are unwilling to change their standard practice regarding the evaluation of

CAD, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will be adversely affected.

• If third-party payors, including government payors, do not cover and provide adequate, or any,

reimbursement for the Heartflow Platform, or if existing payment amounts are reduced or coding

changes, adoption of the Heartflow Platform by healthcare providers will be negatively impacted, and

our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will be adversely affected.

• We face risks associated with a concentrated customer base.

• We face significant competition in an environment of rapid technological change, and there is a

possibility that our competitors may develop products that are more effective, accurate, reliable, cost-

effective or more advanced than ours, which may harm our financial condition. If we are unable to

compete successfully or our potential market share is reduced, we may be unable to increase or

sustain our revenue or achieve profitability.

• The commercialization of the Heartflow Plaque Analysis product is nascent, and we may not be able

to achieve or maintain sufficient market acceptance or the levels of utilization we expect from the

Heartflow Plaque Analysis product or any other future product.

• We face risks associated with our use and development of artificial intelligence models, which may

result in operational challenges, legal liability, reputational concerns and competitive risks.

• If we fail to properly manage our future growth, our business could suffer.

• Our business could be disrupted by catastrophic events.

• We depend on our information technology systems, and any failure of these systems could harm our

business and adversely affect our business and operating results.

• Our networks and those of our third-party service providers may become the target of bad actors or

security breaches that we cannot anticipate or successfully defend, which could have an adverse

impact on our business.

• We face extensive, regulatory requirements to bring our products to market, and our failure to receive

and maintain regulatory clearances or approvals of our current and future products in the United

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

States or abroad or to comply with medical device regulatory requirements could adversely affect our

business.

• If we are unable to obtain and maintain sufficient intellectual property rights, or the scope of our rights

is not sufficiently broad, third parties could develop and commercialize technology and products

similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize our technology and products

may be adversely affected.

• Our credit agreement contains certain restrictions that may limit our ability to operate our business. If

we raise additional capital through debt financing, the terms of any new debt could further restrict our

ability to operate our business.

The summary risk factors described above should be read together with the text of the full risk factors in

the section titled "Risk factors" and the other information set forth in this prospectus, including our

consolidated financial statements and the related notes. The risks summarized above or described in full

elsewhere in this prospectus are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not

presently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also materially adversely affect

our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

**Corporate information**

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 2007. On March 1, 2021, we completed

an internal reorganization in which a newly formed parent holding company was put in place. The

previous holders of our common stock and preferred securities became holders of common stock and

preferred securities of HeartFlow Holding, Inc. The equity incentive plan, outstanding equity awards,

outstanding warrants and certain other equity-related agreements of HeartFlow, Inc. were assumed by

HeartFlow Holding, Inc. Our operations and business activities remained at HeartFlow, Inc., and the

wholly-owned non-U.S. subsidiaries of HeartFlow, Inc. remained in place. On July 17, 2025, we

consolidated HeartFlow Holding, Inc. into HeartFlow, Inc. and the previous holders of HeartFlow Holding,

Inc. common stock and preferred securities became holders of our common stock and preferred

securities, and the equity incentive plan, outstanding equity awards, outstanding warrants and certain

other equity-related agreements of HeartFlow Holding, Inc. were assumed by us. In connection with this

consolidation, we changed our name to Heartflow, Inc., whose name appears on the cover of this

prospectus. Our principal executive offices are located at 331 E. Evelyn Avenue, Mountain View,

California 94041, and our telephone number is (650) 241-1221. Our corporate website address is

www.heartflow.com. Information contained on, or accessible through, our website shall not be deemed

incorporated into and is not a part of this prospectus or the registration statement of which it forms a part.

We have included our website in this prospectus solely as an inactive textual reference.

**Implications of being an emerging growth company**

We qualify as an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of

2012 (the "JOBS Act"). We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of: (i) the last day of

the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering; (ii) the last day of the fiscal

year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion; (iii) the last day of the fiscal

year in which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which would occur if the market

value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of

the second fiscal quarter of such year; or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in

non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. An emerging growth company may take

advantage of specified reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant

requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. As a result, the information that

we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting

companies in which you hold equity interests.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

As an emerging growth company, we have elected to take advantage of certain reduced disclosure

obligations in the registration statement that this prospectus is a part of, and may elect to take advantage

of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings. In particular:

• we will present in this prospectus only two years of audited financial statements, plus any required

unaudited financial statements, and related management's discussion and analysis of financial

condition and results of operations;

• we will avail ourselves of the exemption from the requirement to obtain an attestation and report from

our independent registered public accounting firm on the assessment of our internal control over

financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

• we will avail ourselves of relief from compliance with the requirements of the Public Company

Accounting Oversight Board regarding the communication of critical audit matters in the auditor's

report on the financial statements;

• we will provide less extensive disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; and

• we will not be required to hold stockholder non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or

golden parachute arrangements.

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended

transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an

emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards

would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to use the extended transition period for

any other new or revised accounting standards during the period in which we remain an emerging growth

company; however, we may adopt certain new or revised accounting standards early. As a result of these

elections, the information that we provide in this prospectus, including our financial statements, may be

different than the information you may receive from other public companies in which you hold equity

interests. In addition, it is possible that some investors will find our common stock less attractive as a

result of these elections, which may result in a less active trading market for our common stock and

higher volatility in our share price.

**Basis of presentation**

Certain monetary amounts, percentages, and other figures included elsewhere in this prospectus have

been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown as totals in certain tables or charts may

not be the arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them, and figures expressed as percentages

in the text may not total 100% or, as applicable, when aggregated may not be the arithmetic aggregation

of the percentages that precede them.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HeartFlow Holding, Inc. and its

subsidiaries. On July 17, 2025, we consolidated HeartFlow Holding, Inc. into HeartFlow, Inc., and the

previous holders of HeartFlow Holding, Inc. common stock and preferred securities became holders of

our common stock and preferred securities and the equity incentive plan, outstanding equity awards, the

outstanding warrants and other equity agreements of HeartFlow Holding, Inc. have been assumed by us.

The consolidation did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements included

elsewhere in this prospectus. The consolidated financial statements of HeartFlow Holding, Inc. are that of

Heartflow, Inc., the registrant whose name appears on the cover of this prospectus.

(1)See Notes 2 and 16 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for an explanation of the calculation

of our basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders and the weighted-average number of shares used in the

computation of the per share amounts.

(2)Unaudited pro forma net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted, for the year ended December 31, 2024

and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is calculated by giving effect to (i) removal of the effect of interest expense related to

the 2024 Term Loan Conversion of $23.0 million and the $50.0 million partial repayment of the indebtedness outstanding, (ii) the

Preferred Stock Conversion, as if the shares resulting from the Preferred Stock Conversion were outstanding as of January 1, 2024, (iii)

the Convertible Notes Conversion at the assumed initial public offering price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share, which is the midpoint of the

estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, as if the shares resulting from the Convertible Notes Conversion

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

were outstanding as of January 1, 2024, (iv) the removal of other expense, net related to the change in fair value of the derivative

liability, and (v) stock-based compensation expense related to the grant of &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; RSUs concurrent with this offering at the assumed

initial public offering price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this

prospectus, as if the RSUs had been granted on January 1, 2024. The total stock-based compensation expense related to the

concurrent RSU award is estimated to be $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;million. The RSUs will be settled in shares of common stock and vest over four years in

annual equal increments, subject to continued service, on the anniversary of the grant date. The following table summarizes our

**Risks related to our business and industry**

***We have incurred significant net losses since our inception, we expect to incur additional***

***substantial losses in the foreseeable future and we may not be able to achieve or sustain***

***profitability.***

We have incurred significant net losses since our inception in 2007, and we expect to incur additional

substantial losses in the foreseeable future. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, and

the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred net losses of $95.7 million, $96.4 million and $32.3

million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $874.5 million

and $971.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.0 billion.

Since inception, we have spent significant amounts of cash to develop the Heartflow Platform, to fund

research and development, including our preclinical research and development activities and clinical trials

related to our products, to scale our commercial operations and to recruit and retain key talent.

The net losses we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year, such that a

period-to-period comparison of our results of operations may not be a good indication of our future

performance. We expect to continue to incur significant research and development, sales and marketing,

regulatory and other expenses as we expand our marketing efforts to increase adoption of our products,

expand existing relationships with our customers, obtain regulatory clearances or approvals for our

planned or future products, conduct clinical trials to extend applicability of our platform into new

indications or to develop new products or add new features to our existing products. The investments in

our business may be more costly than we expect, and if we do not achieve the benefits anticipated from

these investments, or if the realization of these benefits is delayed, they may not result in increased

revenue or growth in our business. In addition to the anticipated costs of growing our business, we expect

our general and administrative expenses to increase following this offering due to the additional costs of

being a public company. If our revenue growth does not increase to more than offset the anticipated

increases in our operating expenses, we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability and our

business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will be harmed.

In addition, our revenue may decline or our revenue growth, if any, may be constrained. Our ability to

increase sales is uncertain, and we may never be able to achieve or sustain profitability for many

reasons, including that: our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis may not achieve widespread adoption among

healthcare providers and we may be unable to increase revenue generated from sales of our Heartflow

FFRCT Analysis; our Heartflow Plaque Analysis may not achieve widespread adoption among healthcare

providers and we may be unable to generate sufficient revenue from sales of our Heartflow Plaque

Analysis; payors, such as insurance companies and government insurance programs, may decide not to

reimburse for our products, may set the amount of such reimbursement too low or reduce the amount of

such reimbursement; healthcare industry trends, including growth in CCTA usage, may move in directions

that do not allow for adoption of our products or that do not provide adequate incentives for the adoption

of our products; competitors may develop or acquire a product that successfully competes with ours;

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

manufacturers of CT scanners may partner with our competitors or develop or acquire a competing

product and integrate one or more products that successfully competes with ours; we may not be able to

obtain regulatory approval for future versions of our products (including improved versions of our AI

algorithms), new indications for use of our products or other future products; and there may be changes in

existing or anticipated clinical guidelines, including the current ACC and AHA Class 1, Level A guidelines

for CCTA and Class 2a, Level B guidelines for Heartflow FFRCT Analysis for certain patients with stable or

acute chest pain and no known CAD, or the timing of adoption of positive clinical guidelines that support

the use of the Heartflow FFRCT Analysis.

Because of these and the other risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus, we are unable to

predict the extent to which we will be able to increase sales, if at all, or the timing for when or the extent to

which we will become profitable, if ever. We will need to generate significant additional revenue to achieve

and sustain profitability, and even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase

profitability. Our failure to become and remain profitable would depress the value of our company and our

stock price and could impair our ability to raise capital, fund our research and development efforts,

expand our business, diversify our product offerings or continue our operations. A decline in the value of

our company could cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

***Our revenue is currently generated almost entirely from the sales of only one product, Heartflow***

***FFRCT Analysis, and we are therefore highly dependent on the success of this product, which***

***makes it difficult to evaluate our current business, predict our future prospects and forecast our***

***financial performance and any growth.***

As of March 31, 2025, our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis represented 99% of our total revenue. In the second

half of 2023, we began limited market education efforts of our second product, Heartflow Plaque Analysis.

Over the next several years, we expect to continue to devote a substantial amount of resources to

increase sales of our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and also expand our commercialization efforts and drive

increased adoption of our Heartflow Plaque Analysis. However, we may not succeed in increasing sales

of our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis or in increasing adoption of our Heartflow Plaque Analysis. We expect to

continue to derive almost all of our revenue from sales of Heartflow FFRCT Analysis for the foreseeable

future, so we are highly dependent on its success.

In addition, because we plan to devote substantial resources to increase sales of Heartflow FFRCT

Analysis and rely on it as our main source of revenue, any factors that negatively impact these efforts, our

Heartflow Plaque Analysis commercialization efforts or our ability to diversify our products would have a

material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Therefore, it is difficult to predict our future prospects and forecast our financial performance and any

growth, and any such forecasts are inherently limited and subject to a number of uncertainties. If our

assumptions regarding the risks and uncertainties we face, which we use to plan our business, are

incorrect or change due to circumstances in our business or our markets, or if we do not address these

risks successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations and our

business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could suffer.

***If healthcare providers are unwilling to change their standard practice regarding the evaluation of***

***CAD, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will be adversely***

***affected.***

Our success depends on physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers adopting and using the

Heartflow Platform to aid in the evaluation of CAD. While we have had some recent success in achieving

broader adoption of the Heartflow Platform, we have in the past faced, and may in the future face,

challenges in achieving higher rates of adoption. Many healthcare providers have extensive experience

with existing non-invasive tests for CAD and have established relationships with the companies that

provide these tests or in some instances own or manage the equipment for these tests in their offices.

Existing tests are performed in a high enough volume that healthcare providers generate sufficient

revenue from their use and are well versed in their use, reimbursement and outcomes. The outcomes and

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

workflow efficiencies that we believe our Heartflow Platform provides may not be valued by healthcare

providers as highly as we expect or at all. In addition, healthcare providers have been, and may continue

to be, slower to adopt or recommend our products because we have a more limited commercial track

record and healthcare providers may feel they can generate more revenue from existing tests. Healthcare

providers also may not find our clinical data compelling and may not recommend or use our products until

they receive additional recommendations from other healthcare providers that our products have a clinical

benefit, or at all.

In addition, the Heartflow Platform relies on healthcare providers following the ACC and AHA guidelines

by referring certain patients with stable or acute chest pain and no known CAD to undergo a CCTA, with

the CCTA images to be analyzed by our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis. Although the ACC and AHA guidelines

support CCTA plus our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis as the preferred pathway for diagnosing and managing

CAD in certain patients with stable or acute chest pain and no known CAD, these guidelines may not be

widely adopted by healthcare providers. Moreover, healthcare providers may choose not to adopt the

Heartflow Platform if they are not able to obtain an adequate CCTA. Further, if future studies and trials or

other events, including reimbursement rates of CCTA, adversely impact the rate of use of CCTAs in

practice, then healthcare providers may be less willing to adopt a technology that uses CCTAs.

Also, the Heartflow Platform may be more difficult than we expect to integrate into standard practice

because a provider may be resistant to introduce our embedded information technology and workflow

infrastructure. Due to different laws, policies and preferences of healthcare providers regarding patient

privacy both in the United States and abroad, they may be averse to sending data externally (outside of

their facility) or abroad. Furthermore, if healthcare providers using the Heartflow Platform experience what

they perceive to be false negative result or imprecise readings, including due to user error, they may

determine not to continue using our platform going forward.

We expect that addressing these and similar issues will require a significant amount of our time and

resources, and if we are unsuccessful, we would be unable to achieve broader adoption of the Heartflow

Platform by healthcare providers. If our products do not gain broader acceptance by healthcare providers,

our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will be adversely affected.

***If third-party payors, including government payors, do not cover and provide adequate***

***reimbursement for the Heartflow Platform, or if existing payment amounts are reduced or coding***

***policies change, adoption of the Heartflow Platform by healthcare providers may be negatively***

***impacted, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will be***

***adversely affected.***

Our ability to grow sales and revenue from our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and to successfully

commercialize our Heartflow Plaque Analysis depend, in large part, on whether third-party payors,

including private health insurers, managed care plans and government healthcare programs, such as

Medicare and Medicaid, cover and adequately reimburse for the use of the Heartflow Platform and the

underlying CCTA. Patients generally rely on payors to reimburse all or a significant part of the costs

associated with their treatment. As a result, appropriate coding, coverage determinations, and

reimbursement levels are critical to the commercial success of the Heartflow Platform. Reimbursement is

obtained from a variety of sources, including government sponsored and private health insurance plans,

and varies by country and by region within some countries. These payors determine whether to provide

coverage and payment for specific products and procedures.

In addition, payors continually review new technologies and can, without notice, change coverage

parameters, deny coverage, bundle services, or reduce payment amounts. As a result, the coverage

determination process is often time consuming and costly, with no assurance that coverage and adequate

reimbursement will be obtained or maintained if obtained. If payors change their reimbursement policies,

or if the current Category I CPT codes related to our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis or future Category I CPT

codes related to our Heartflow Plaque Analysis are not favorably categorized or priced, reimbursement for

the Heartflow Platform could be reduced to an amount that would make adoption of our Heartflow

Platform challenging.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Moreover, physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers may decline to adopt or reduce usage of

the Heartflow Platform due to the economic impact a negative change in reimbursement may have on

their business and, as a result, we may experience a significant loss of revenue, which would have a

material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Reimbursement for our Heartflow Platform, which includes the separately billable services, Heartflow

FFRCT Analysis and Heartflow Plaque Analysis, is subject to periodic changes to reimbursement levels by

government payors and private health insurers. For example, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid

Services ("CMS") adopts changes to reimbursement policies during the annual Medicare rulemaking

process, which includes updates to Medicare payment levels to hospitals under the Medicare Hospital

Outpatient Prospective Payment System ("OPPS") rule, and updates to Medicare payment rates to

physician offices, independent diagnostic testing facilities, and freestanding imaging centers under the

Medicare Physician Fee Schedule ("MPFS") rule. In addition to risks associated with government

reimbursement, our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and Heartflow Plaque Analysis technologies face

reimbursement uncertainty from commercial payors, such as UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Anthem,

and regional Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. Such commercial payors routinely reassess their medical

policies, coverage criteria and payment policies and rates, and may choose to deny coverage or payment,

impose restrictive utilization management protocols (such as prior authorization), or reduce or bundle

payment amounts based on internal cost-effectiveness assessments or evolving clinical guidelines. Even

if Medicare maintains favorable reimbursement, commercial payors may independently determine

whether Heartflow FFRCT Analysis or Heartflow Plaque Analysis meets their plans' medical necessity

standards, which may vary among commercial payors.

As part of their participation in the Medicare program and in support of the annual rulemaking process,

hospitals submit Medicare cost reports and report their charges for specific services provided in the

hospital setting. These cost and charge data reported from hospitals can impact reimbursement rates

because CMS uses that data to determine future Medicare reimbursement levels on an annual basis. In

the aggregate, when costs associated with a specific service reported by the hospitals decrease, there is

a risk that CMS will reduce the reimbursement rate proportionately. These lower reported costs can be a

result of coding errors or erroneous denials of claims, the inclusion of lower-cost services within the APC,

reductions in costs for services within the APC, or other similar issues. For example, in July 2025, CMS

issued the proposed 2026 OPPS rule, which, if finalized as proposed, could result in a reduction of up to

15% in the Medicare reimbursement rate for the clinical APC that includes our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis,

along with other hospital services. CMS publishes final OPPS and MPFS rules in the fourth quarter each

year. We cannot be sure at this time whether the proposed hospital reimbursement rate for Heartflow

FFRCT Analysis for 2026 will be finalized, modified, or if CMS will increase the rate back to 2025 levels.

There is a risk that similar or other coding or claims issues may occur and lead CMS to lower the

reimbursement rate for the Heartflow Platform for 2027 or in future years. In addition, we may not become

aware of any such issues early enough to prevent any adverse impacts to the reimbursement for our

products, and our ability to remedy any such issues may be limited by applicable laws, regulations or

policies.

Given the evolving nature of the healthcare industry and ongoing healthcare cost reforms, we are and will

continue to be subject to effects of changes in the level of reimbursement for our products. We cannot be

sure that third-party payors will maintain the current level of coverage and payment to our customers for

use of our existing products. A reduction in coverage or payment or change in policy by the Medicare

program could cause some commercial third-party payors to implement similar reductions in their

coverage or payment amounts for the Heartflow Platform. Unfavorable coverage or payment

determinations at the national or local level could adversely affect our business, financial condition,

results of operations and prospects.

***We face risks associated with a concentrated customer base.***

Our Heartflow Platform had an installed base of more than 1,100 accounts in the United States as of

December 31, 2024. We define an "account" as any individual facility that orders a Heartflow FFRCT

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Analysis, Heartflow Plaque Analysis, or both. We define an account as "new" if a unique facility begins

generating revenue cases for our FFRCT Analysis, Plaque Analysis, or both. Accounts may have more

than one reading physician or CT machine. Conversely, a "customer" can be either an individual account

or a health or hospital system with multiple accounts. While a single customer may include multiple

accounts, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of our revenue during the years ended

December 31, 2023 and 2024 or for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025. However, the

decision-making function for some of these accounts is concentrated in a relatively small number of

customers, such that the loss of one customer could result in a disproportionate loss across our accounts.

For example, for the year ended December 31, 2024, our top two largest customers, both large health

systems with multiple accounts, collectively represented approximately 8% of our revenue.

We cannot guarantee that that we will continue to generate revenue from these customers, whether due

to increase in competition, new technologies, our customers' ability to terminate their contracts with us or

reduce order volumes, or other factors outside of our control. If we do not increase the number of our

customers and drive increased use of the Heartflow Platform as the preferred non-invasive testing

method for assessing CAD, we will continue to face risks associated with a more concentrated customer

base.

Revenue from these customers may fluctuate from time to time due to demand for the Heartflow Platform,

the timing of which may be affected by seasonality or other factors outside of our control such as CT

scanner capacity, contrast availability and staffing availability. These customers could also potentially

pressure us to reduce the prices we charge for the Heartflow Platform, which could have a material

adverse effect on our margins and business. For example, during the year ended December 31, 2024,

our average sales price was impacted by customer pricing contracts that included utilization and volume

rebates and by changes in the mix of customer accounts, which trend we expect to continue in the near

term, and it is possible that similar trends in customer pricing contracts may continue to have a negative

impact on our average sales price in the future. In addition, if any of our largest customers terminates its

relationship with us or otherwise reduces its FFRCT Analysis volumes for any reason, we may be unable

to replace them with a customer who refers a similar number of patients for the Heartflow Platform, and

such termination or reduction in volume could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial

condition, results of operations and prospects.

***We face significant competition in an environment of rapid technological change, and there is a***

***possibility that our competitors may develop products that are more effective, accurate, reliable,***

***cost-effective or more advanced than ours, which may harm our financial condition. If we are***

***unable to compete successfully or our potential market share is reduced, we may be unable to***

***increase or sustain our revenue or achieve profitability.***

The medical technology industry is highly competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected

by the introduction of new products and technologies and other activities of industry participants. Because

of the size of the market opportunity for the treatment of CAD, we believe current and potential future

competitors will dedicate significant resources to aggressively promote their products or develop new

products or treatments. Our principal competition comes from companies that provide traditional non-

invasive tests that aid physicians in the evaluation of CAD, such as SPECT, stress echocardiography and

PET. Established, traditional non-invasive tests for CAD have been used for many years and are therefore

difficult to change or supplement. Many of the companies that sell these traditional non-invasive tests or

the equipment they require have established relationships with healthcare providers. One of the major

hurdles to adoption of our products is overcoming established testing patterns, which requires education

of physicians and supportive clinical data.

The companies that sell the traditional non-invasive tests for CAD include companies that offer: (i) cardiac

specific tests to primary care and cardiology offices, such as manufacturers of capital equipment for

stress echocardiography and SPECT, including GE Healthcare, Siemens Healthineers AG and Koninklijke

Philips N.V.; and (ii) products used for the invasive FFR testing market.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

With the greater resources of some of these competitors and their more diversified product offerings, it is

possible that they or other entrants into the market may develop competing products or technologies that

could be more effective, accurate, reliable, cost-effective, more advanced or otherwise improved relative

to the Heartflow Platform, which could render our products obsolete or less competitive. In addition, one

or more competitors could develop and market an on-premise solution, which may be more appealing

than our cloud-based offering. Moreover, new treatments, such as GLP-1s, may indirectly reduce stenosis

or plaque build-up, which could reduce the market opportunity for non-invasive CAD tests and, as a

result, our Heartflow Platform. In addition, we currently target our Heartflow Platform for use only on

symptomatic patients and expanding the Heartflow Platform for asymptomatic patients may take years,

with potential delays due to the high-risk nature of the effort. Our competitors who offer traditional non-

invasive tests offer those tests to both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients, and this increased market

penetration could create additional price pressure for our products.

In addition, the field of cardiovascular genomics is subject to rapidly changing technology, and others may

invent and commercialize technology platforms such as next generation sequencing approaches that

could compete with our products or could make our products or any product we may sell in the future

obsolete. We also face competition and price pressure from companies that have developed or are

developing AI-based platforms that leverage CCTA to diagnose CAD, including earlier-stage companies

such as Cleerly, Inc., Elucid Bioimaging Inc. and Keya Medical Technology Co., Ltd. We may also face

competition from companies developing AI-based platforms, even if they are not currently in the CAD

market and recent and future advances in AI may allow other companies to quickly create competing

products, and they may be able to create such products less expensively and benefit from FDA and

reimbursement approvals we and others have obtained. For us to remain competitive, we must

continuously work on our products' design and features, improve our algorithms, and invest in and

develop new technologies, including in the rapidly evolving area of AI. If we are unable to introduce

products, features and improvements aimed at increasing the value proposition of the Heartflow Platform

for our customers, or if the products, features and improvements we introduce are viewed less favorably

than our competitors' products, we may be unable to compete successfully. If we are unable to compete

successfully against our current or future competitors, we may be unable to increase market acceptance

for our products, which could prevent us from increasing or sustaining our revenue or achieving

profitability and could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

In addition, the Heartflow Platform relies on a CCTA first being performed, as the Heartflow Platform

requires a CT image from a CT scanner to perform its analysis. A number of companies manufacture CT

scanners, including, among others, GE Healthcare, Hitachi, Ltd., Koninklijke Philips N.V., Samsung

Electronics Co., Ltd., Siemens Healthineers AG and Canon Medical Systems Corporation. These

companies are more diversified than we are and have substantial financial, manufacturing, sales and

marketing distribution and other resources. Any of these companies or others could determine to develop,

partner with or acquire and offer a product that competes with ours or manufacture CT scanners that are

no longer compatible with our Heartflow Platform. Further, these larger companies have market

penetration in the CT scanner market and understand the market for CAD and, if they are able to develop,

partner with or acquire a competing product, they may offer it as a bundle with the purchase of a CT

scanner, which could prevent us from increasing or sustaining our revenue or achieving profitability. In the

past, three of these companies, Siemens Healthineers AG, Koninklijke Philips N.V. and Canon Medical

Systems Corporation, considered development of a local workstation-based technology prototype aimed

at deriving CT-based blood flow data without an invasive procedure. If these companies decide to further

pursue this technology and obtain regulatory approval or clinical validation, it may become competitive

with our products. In addition, we are reliant on these third-party CCTAs and CT scanners continuing to

support standard output file formats that our Heartflow Platform supports. If a CT manufacturer were to

change to a proprietary format or develop a novel method of performing CT scans, we would need to

further develop our existing technology to accommodate the images its scanners output, which could

materially affect the ability of physicians to use the Heartflow Platform, increase our R&D expenses, and

could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

***The size and expected growth of our addressable market may be smaller than we estimate.***

Our estimate of the addressable market for our current products and any future products is subject to

significant uncertainty and is based on assumptions and estimates, including our internal analysis and

industry experience. While we believe our assumptions and the data underlying our estimates are

reasonable, these assumptions and estimates may not be correct. As a result, our estimates of the

addressable market for our current or future products may prove to be incorrect. Moreover, our ability to

serve a significant portion of this estimated market is subject to many factors, including our success in

promoting the use of CCTA as a non-invasive diagnostic test that can be combined with the Heartflow

Platform, which is subject to many risks and uncertainties, and relies on the availability and proximity of

healthcare facilities with active CCTA programs to the patients in our estimated market. Accordingly, if we

are unable to increase the use of CCTA at the rates we estimate, if the actual number of patients who

would benefit from our products is less than we estimate, or if the price at which we can sell future

products or the reimbursement rate received by healthcare providers is less than we estimate, the size

and expected growth of our addressable market would be smaller than our estimates, which could have a

material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***We may not be successful in updating or otherwise enhancing the Heartflow Platform.***

A part of our strategy is bringing new enhancements to our customers through updates to the Heartflow

Platform, which may include offering new products, additional features, applications and improvements to

our technology. We expect to make significant investments to advance these efforts, and enhancing the

Heartflow Platform is a complex and time-consuming endeavor. New products, additional features,

applications and improvements to our technology that initially show promise may fail to achieve the

desired results or may not achieve acceptable levels of analytical accuracy, utility or user friendliness.

Product development and improvement is expensive, may take months or years to complete and can

have uncertain outcomes. Failure can occur at any stage of the development or improvement process

and may occur only after substantial work has been completed, or after completion.

Even if, after development, an updated product appears successful, we may, depending on the nature of

the update, need to obtain regulatory clearances, authorizations or approvals before we can market the

updated product. Such regulatory clearances, authorizations or approvals are likely to require significant

time and expenditures and the applicable regulatory authority may not clear, authorize or approve any

product, update or new product we develop. Obtaining such clearances, authorizations or approvals may

require data from clinical trials, which can be costly and time-consuming to obtain. In certain jurisdictions

or in certain cases, clinical data may also be required in order to obtain reimbursement coverage, and this

clinical data may be in addition to data required to obtain regulatory clearances, authorizations or

approvals. Some clinical studies may fail to meet their endpoints, introducing risk or delay in the ability to

commercialize a new feature or product. In light of these requirements, we may choose to limit the scope

of any new products, additional features, applications and improvements we seek to develop.

Even if we develop a product update or new product that receives regulatory clearance, authorization or

approval, and for which we obtain sufficient commercial third party and government reimbursement

coverage, we would need to commit substantial resources to commercialize and market the updated

product, new product or new application of our existing product, which may never achieve market

acceptance among various stakeholders or be commercially successful. Further, the applicable

regulations or the application of those regulations could change in ways that would impact the Heartflow

Platform and our ability to successfully manufacture or market our products. The expenses or losses

associated with unsuccessful updates to or expansion of the Heartflow Platform could adversely affect our

business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

***The commercialization of Heartflow Plaque Analysis is nascent, and we may not be able to***

***achieve or maintain sufficient market acceptance or the levels of utilization we expect from***

***Heartflow Plaque Analysis or any other future product.***

We began limited market education efforts for our Heartflow Plaque Analysis in the second half of 2023,

and we have generated very minimal revenue from this product. Heartflow Plaque Analysis has taken

time and significant resources to develop, and we may not be able to achieve customer acceptance or

broad commercial reimbursement coverage, which could limit its adoption.

The market for alternative plaque analysis products is competitive in terms of development, availability,

pricing, product quality and time-to-market. We face competition from companies that provide or are

developing similar plaque analysis products, which may distinguish themselves from us through, among

other things, perceived product quality, style and visuals, sleek design, enhanced user-friendliness and

innovative features. In addition, some of these competitors are agile, early-stage companies that may be

able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies,

standards or customer requirements in the plaque analysis category. Some of these competitors

commercially launched competing plaque analysis products prior to our launch of Heartflow Plaque

Analysis and may have a first-mover advantage as a result. For more information on risks related to our

competition, see the risk factor titled "We face significant competition in an environment of rapid

technological change, and there is a possibility that our competitors may develop products that are more

effective, accurate, reliable, cost-effective or more advanced than ours, which may harm our financial

condition. If we are unable to compete successfully or our potential market share is reduced, we may be

unable to increase or sustain our revenue or achieve profitability."

Our competitors may also be able to offer plaque analysis products similar or superior to ours at a more

attractive price than we can or may be better positioned to serve certain segments of our market, which

could create additional price pressure. For example, our competitors have in the past, and may in the

future, offer plaque analysis and other products at a more attractive price than we can such that current or

potential customers may select our competitors' products in lieu of purchasing and using our Heartflow

Plaque Analysis. Moreover, our competitors have in the past, and may in the future, suggest that their

plaque analysis and other products could replace both our Heartflow Plaque Analysis and our Heartflow

FFRCT Analysis, which would adversely affect our ability to achieve sufficient market acceptance for our

Heartflow Plaque Analysis, could affect sales of our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and could cause our

Heartflow FFRCT Analysis to lose market share. While we believe Heartflow Plaque Analysis represents a

significant long-term opportunity for us, there can be no assurances that we will successfully compete in

such market and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially

and adversely affected.

***We face risks associated with our use and development of AI models, which may result in***

***operational challenges, legal liability, reputational concerns and competitive risks.***

We use and develop AI and automated analysis and decision-making technologies, including proprietary

AI algorithms and models and computational fluid dynamics (collectively, "AI Technologies") to power the

Heartflow Platform. In addition, we use AI Technologies to drive improvements in the performance of the

Heartflow Platform. We expect that significant increased investment will be required in the future to

improve our use and development of AI Technologies.

As with many technological innovations, there are significant risks involved in developing, maintaining and

deploying these technologies. In particular, if the AI Technologies underlying our Heartflow Platform are

incorrectly designed or implemented; trained or reliant on incomplete, inadequate, inaccurate or otherwise

poor quality data; used without sufficient oversight and quality control; misused or used outside of scope

of applicable regulatory authorizations; and/or adversely impacted by unforeseen bugs, defects, technical

challenges, cybersecurity threats or material performance issues, the performance of our Heartflow

Platform and business, as well as our reputation and the reputations of our customers, could suffer or we

could incur liability resulting from the violation of laws or contracts to which we are a party, regulatory

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

enforcement actions or civil claims. This could result in fines, penalties and damage awards and

disgorgement of any output, development or technology developed as a result of such violations.

In addition, we leverage a human-in-the-loop AI system that combines advanced algorithms with an

analyst-based quality inspection and monitoring process to create patient-specific reports based on CCTA

images. While we constantly work to improve our Heartflow Platform and algorithms, the AI Technologies

we work with are novel and complex, and we cannot assure you that our AI Technologies will be able to

perform as intended under all circumstances, or that our analyst-based review process will identify and

correct any errors in the outputs of our AI Technologies.

The regulatory framework for AI Technologies is rapidly evolving as many federal, state and foreign

government bodies and agencies have introduced or are currently considering additional laws, regulations

and guidance. For example, the FDA has issued guidance documents relating to the incorporation of AI

Technologies into medical devices and marketing submissions for AI-enabled devices. Specifically, draft

guidance issued on January 7, 2025, titled Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Device Software Functions:

Lifecycle Management and Marketing Submission Recommendations, proposes recommendations for the

design, development and implementation of AI-enabled devices that FDA encourages manufacturers

consider using throughout the total product lifecycle. In addition, the California Privacy Protection Agency

has approved for rulemaking regulations under the CCPA regarding the use of automated decision-

making that may require risks and providing notice and rights to opt-out and access to information

underlying the logic and outputs. Colorado passed the Colorado AI Act, which will go into effect in

February 2026. This law creates duties for developers and deployers to use reasonable care to protect

consumers from any known or reasonably foreseeable risks of "algorithmic discrimination" arising from

the intended and contracted uses of "high-risk AI systems," including those that impact healthcare

services. Such additional laws, regulations and guidance may impact our ability to develop, use and

commercialize AI Technologies in the future.

It is possible that further new laws and regulations will be adopted in the United States and in other non-

U.S. jurisdictions, or that existing laws and regulations, including competition and antitrust laws, may be

interpreted in ways that would limit our ability to use AI Technologies for our business, or require us to

change the way we use AI Technologies in a manner that negatively affects the performance of our

Heartflow Platform and the way in which we use AI Technologies. We may need to expend resources to

adjust our Heartflow Platform in certain jurisdictions if the laws, regulations or decisions are not consistent

across jurisdictions. Further, the cost to comply with such laws, regulations or decisions and/or guidance

interpreting existing laws, could be significant and would increase our operating expenses (such as by

imposing additional reporting obligations regarding our use of AI Technologies). Such an increase in

operating expenses, as well as any actual or perceived failure to comply with such laws and regulations,

could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and

prospects.

***Our Heartflow Platform and the data and models it generates could have bugs, defects or errors,***

***including human quality control errors, or otherwise fail to meet the expectations of patients,***

***physicians and third-party payors, which could adversely affect our reputation, business and***

***operating results.***

We cannot provide assurance that the proprietary technology and algorithms used in our Heartflow

Platform do not contain undetected bugs, defects or errors or that our analyst-based review process will

identify and correct any errors in the outputs of our AI Technologies. We cannot provide assurance that

limitations of the inbound CCTA images and image quality will always allow a true representation of the

patient anatomy, and any such limitations in CCTA images could affect the results of our analyses. We

have in the past, and may in the future, experience defects or errors in our Heartflow Platform or the data

and models it generates that remain undetected by our analyst-based review process, our reputation,

business and operating results could be adversely affected.

Furthermore, the success of the Heartflow Platform depends in part on patients', physicians' and third-

party payors' confidence that our platform can provide reliable, high-quality actionable data and analysis

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

that will improve clinical decision making. We believe that patients, physicians and third-party payors are

likely to be sensitive to product defects and errors in the use of our products, including if the defects and

errors affect a physician's ability to use the CCTA imaging results or result in a misdiagnosis. In the past,

we have experienced software code defects and software release process defects that have resulted in

intermittent interruptions to the physician's ability to use our Heartflow Platform, and we may experience

such defects in the future. A subset of these defects were reported as part of the FDA's Manufacturer and

User Facility Device Experience ("MAUDE") disclosure. For more information, see the risk factor titled

"The Heartflow Platform may be subject to recalls, which could be costly and could harm our reputation

and business." As a result, the failure of our Heartflow Platform to perform as expected, including to

reduce unnecessary invasive testing or fail to enable physicians to optimize treatment planning or provide

more efficient care, could significantly impact a physician's willingness to use and rely on the Heartflow

Platform, which would impair our operating results and our reputation. In addition, we may be subject to

legal claims arising from any such failures.

Bugs, defects or errors in the Heartflow Platform or the failure of third-party service providers we rely on,

such as AWS or other cloud storage and telecommunications services providers, to block a virus or

prevent a security breach could harm our reputation and adversely impact our results of operations.

Defects may cause our products to be vulnerable to security attacks, cause them to fail to produce

accurate results or temporarily interrupt our commercial operations. Because the techniques used by

computer hackers to access or sabotage networks change frequently and generally are not recognized

until launched against a target, we or our third-party services providers may be unable to anticipate these

techniques and provide a corrective measure in time to protect the Heartflow Platform and our networks.

Potential defects may further cause the platform to be unavailable for a period of time, affect ability of a

customer to access information, result in a slow or suboptimal user experience, impact turnaround time of

an analysis, or provide other forms of degradation to the overall service.

***We depend on our talent to grow and operate our business, and if we are unable to hire, integrate,***

***develop, motivate and retain our personnel, including highly qualified, technical personnel, we***

***may not be able to grow effectively and this could adversely affect our business.***

To execute our growth plan, we must attract and retain highly qualified, technical personnel. Competition

for these personnel is intense, especially for engineers with high levels of expertise in AI, cloud

architecture, 3D visualization, research scientists and senior sales executives with experience in the

cardiology industry. We may experience difficulty in hiring and retaining employees with appropriate

qualifications. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater

resources than we have. We also compete with companies that are believed to have high potential growth

opportunities or that have experienced rapid recent growth.

Our future success depends in part on our ability to continue to retain our executive officers and other key

employees and to recruit and hire new employees, including engineers, research scientists, case analysts

and production team members. We do not maintain "key person" insurance for any of our executives or

other employees. The loss of the services of any of these persons could impede the achievement of our

development, research and commercialization objectives. Any of our executive officers and other

employees may terminate employment with us at any time with no advance notice. The replacement of

any of our key personnel likely would involve significant time and costs, may significantly delay or prevent

the achievement of our business objectives and may harm our business.

In addition, job candidates and existing employees often consider the value of the stock awards they

receive in connection with their employment. If the perceived value of our stock awards declines or is

perceived to be less valuable than stock awards of other competing employers, it may adversely affect

our ability to recruit and retain highly skilled employees. In addition, many of our employees have become

or will soon become vested in a substantial amount of stock or number of stock options. Our employees

may be more likely to leave us if the shares they own or the shares underlying their vested options have

significantly appreciated in value relative to the original purchase prices of the shares or the exercise

prices of the options, or if the exercise prices of the options that they hold are significantly below the

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

market price of our common stock. If we fail to attract new personnel, or fail to retain and motivate our

current personnel, our business and prospects could be adversely affected.

***If we fail to properly manage our future growth, our business could suffer.***

We intend to continue to grow and may experience periods of rapid growth and expansion, which could

place a significant additional strain on our limited personnel, information technology systems and other

resources. Our future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on management, including the

need to identify, recruit, train and integrate additional employees. In order to manage our operations and

growth we will need to continue to improve our operational and management controls, administrative and

operational infrastructure, reporting and information technology systems and financial internal control

procedures. Due to our limited financial resources and the limited experience of our management team in

managing a company with such future growth expectations, we may not be able to effectively manage the

expected expansion of our operations or recruit and train additional qualified personnel. Moreover, the

expected expansion of our operations may lead to significant costs and may divert our management and

business development resources. Any inability to manage growth could delay the execution of our

business plans or disrupt our operations.

In addition, as demand for the Heartflow Platform increases, we will need to scale our capacity, expand

customer service and enhance our internal quality assurance program. We may fail to implement any

increases in scale, related improvements and quality assurance, and we may fail to find appropriate

personnel to facilitate the growth of our business. Due to our limited resources, we may not be able to

effectively manage this simultaneous execution and expansion of our operations. This may result in

weaknesses in our infrastructure, give rise to operational mistakes, legal or regulatory compliance

failures, loss of business opportunities, loss of employees and reduced productivity among remaining

employees. The expansion of our operations may lead to significant costs and may divert financial

resources from other projects, such as the development of any new products. If our management is

unable to effectively manage our expected development and expansion, our expenses may increase

more than expected, our ability to generate or increase our revenue could be reduced and we may not be

able to implement our business strategy. Our future financial performance and our ability to compete

effectively and commercialize our Heartflow Plaque Analysis or any of our future products will depend in

part on our ability to effectively manage the future growth and expansion of our company. If we are unable

to manage our growth effectively, it may be difficult for us to execute our business strategy and our

business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

***Our business could be disrupted by catastrophic events.***

The occurrence of any catastrophic event, including earthquake, fire, flood, tsunami or other weather

event, power loss, telecommunications failure, software or hardware malfunctions, pandemics, political

unrest, geopolitical instability, severe or prolonged economic downturn, cyberattack (including a

ransomware attack), war or terrorist attack, could result in lengthy interruptions in our ability to serve our

customers. In addition, acts of terrorism could cause disruptions to the internet or the economy as a

whole and could disproportionately affect us given our reliance on the internet and cloud-based services.

Specifically, our corporate headquarters are located in Mountain View, California and our production

related computers are currently located in our Mountain View office and in Austin, Texas. California is

considered to be an active earthquake zone, is prone to catastrophic fires, severe weather events and the

follow-on effects thereof, including tsunamis, mudslides, flooding, power outages and other events that

could disrupt our business. Texas is also subject to severe weather events, power outages and other

events that could disrupt our business. Any event that prevents our access to such facilities, physically or

virtually, would prevent us from operating our business and have an adverse effect on our business,

financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In addition, we rely on our network and third-party infrastructure, including our cloud-based infrastructure

which we outsource to Amazon Web Services ("AWS"), and enterprise applications, internal technology

systems and our website, for our development, marketing, operational support hosted services and sales

activities. In the event of a catastrophic event, we may be unable to continue our operations and may

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

endure system interruptions, delays in our ability to generate reports and output them to physicians,

reputational harm, delays in our product development, breaches of data security and loss of critical data,

all of which could have an adverse effect on our future operating results. If we are unable to develop

adequate plans to ensure that our business functions continue to operate during and after a disaster and

to execute successfully on those plans in the event of a disaster or emergency, our business would be

harmed. Even with our disaster recovery arrangements and insurance coverage, the ability of our

customers to access and utilize our Heartflow Platform could be interrupted, or we could close critical

data, which would have a negative impact on our business.

In addition, the occurrence of a catastrophic event could impact providers of CCTAs, contrast agents for

CCTAs or suppliers of iodinated contrast media or similar supplies that are necessary to perform CCTAs.

For example, in 2022, the shutdown of an iodinated contrast media manufacturing facility led to a

significant shortage of iodinated contrast media, which resulted in the cancellation or rescheduling of non-

urgent contrast-requiring cardiac procedures and imaging. Any of these events could affect demand for

the Heartflow Platform, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,

results of operations and prospects.

***Consolidation among healthcare providers could have an adverse effect on our business,***

***financial condition, results of operations and prospects.***

In the United States, there has been a trend of consolidation among healthcare providers and purchasers

of medical technology devices, often to gain greater market power. As healthcare providers consolidate,

they may try to use their market power to negotiate price concessions or reductions for the products and

services they purchase and use, including our Heartflow Platform. As result, it is unknown whether such

purchasers will decide to stop purchasing our Heartflow Platform or demand discounts on our prices. If we

reduce our prices in response to these industry trends, our revenue would decrease, which could have a

material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***We may acquire other companies, solutions or technologies, which could divert our***

***management's attention, result in additional dilution to our stockholders and otherwise disrupt***

***our operations and adversely affect our operating results.***

We may in the future seek to acquire or invest in companies, solutions or technologies that we believe

could complement or expand our products, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth

opportunities. The pursuit of potential acquisitions or other investment opportunities may divert the

attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating and

pursuing suitable transactions, whether or not they are consummated.

If we acquire any businesses, we may not be able to integrate the acquired personnel, operations and

technologies successfully, or effectively manage the combined business following the acquisition. We also

may not achieve the anticipated benefits from the acquired business due to a number of factors,

including: inability to integrate or benefit from acquired technologies or services in a profitable manner;

unanticipated costs or liabilities associated with the acquisition; incurrence of acquisition related costs;

difficulty integrating the accounting systems, operations and personnel of the acquired business;

difficulties and additional expenses associated with supporting legacy products and hosting infrastructure

of the acquired business; diversion of management's attention from other business concerns; use of

resources that are needed in other parts of our business; adverse effects to our existing business

relationships with business partners and customers as a result of the acquisition; the potential loss of key

employees; and use of substantial portions of our available cash to consummate the acquisition.

In addition, a significant portion of the purchase price of any companies, solutions or technologies that we

may acquire may be allocated to acquired goodwill and other intangible assets, which must be assessed

for impairment at least annually. If our acquisitions do not yield expected returns, we may be required to

take charges to our operating results based on this impairment assessment process, which could

adversely affect our results of operations.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which

could adversely affect our operating results and cause the market price of our common stock to decline. If

an acquired company, solution or technology fails to meet our expectations and does not complement or

expand our products, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities, our

business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may suffer. In addition, the 2024 Credit

Agreement restricts our ability to pursue certain mergers, acquisitions, amalgamations or consolidations

that we may believe to be in our best interest.

***Sales to customers outside the United States or with international operations expose us to risks***

***inherent in international sales.***

In our fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 and three months ended March 31, 2024 and

2025, sales to customers outside the United States accounted for approximately 11%, 9%, 9% and 8% of

our revenue, respectively. One element of our growth strategy is to further expand our international

operations and worldwide customer base. Operating in international markets requires significant

resources and management attention and subjects us to regulatory, economic and political risks that are

different from those in the United States.

We have limited operating experience in international markets, and we cannot assure you that our

existing presence in the United Kingdom, Europe and Japan or any expansion efforts into other

international markets will be successful. Our experience in the United States and international markets

may not be relevant to our ability to expand in other markets. Our international expansion efforts may not

be successful in creating further demand for our products outside of the United States or in effectively

selling our products in the international markets we enter. In addition, expansion into other international

markets will be costly and will impose additional burdens on our executive and administrative personnel,

finance and legal teams, sales and marketing teams and general managerial resources. If our efforts to

introduce our products into other international markets are not successful, we may have expended

significant resources without realizing the expected benefit. Ultimately, the investment required for

international expansion could exceed the results of operations generated from this expansion.

In addition, we operate in an industry which is subject to significant enforcement scrutiny by both U.S. and

non-U.S. government authorities. Our international business requires us to comply with U.S. and foreign

laws and regulations, such as various anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, including the U.S. Foreign

Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), the U.S. Fraud Act and in certain cases the U.K. Bribery Act of 2010.

Compliance with these is costly and exposes us to significant civil and criminal penalties for non-

compliance. Any failure to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations could impact us in a

variety of ways that include, but are not limited to, significant criminal, civil and administrative fines,

penalties and disgorgement of profits, including imprisonment of individuals, denial of export privileges,

seizure of shipments, restrictions on certain business activities and exclusion or debarment from

government contracting. Our international operations expose us to risks inherent in operating in foreign

jurisdictions that could adversely affect our business.

***If we do not obtain and maintain international regulatory registrations, clearances or approvals for***

***our Heartflow Platform, we will be unable to market and sell our products outside of the United***

***States.***

Any future sales of our products outside of the United States are subject to foreign regulatory

requirements that vary widely from country to country. While the regulations of some countries may not

impose barriers to marketing and selling our products or only require notification, others require that we

obtain the clearance or approval of a specified regulatory authority or a Certificate of Conformity of a

notified body. Complying with foreign regulatory requirements, including obtaining registrations,

clearances or approvals, can be expensive and time consuming and we may not receive regulatory

clearances or approvals in each country in which we plan to market our products or we may be unable to

do so on a timely basis. The time required to obtain registrations, clearances or approvals, if required by

other countries, may be longer than that required for FDA clearance or approval, and requirements for

such registrations, clearances or approvals may significantly differ from FDA requirements. If we modify

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

our products, we may need to apply for regulatory clearances or approvals before we are permitted to sell

the modified product.

In addition, AI governing regulations around medical devices evolve rapidly and we may not continue to

meet the quality and safety standards required to maintain the authorizations that we have received. If we

are unable to maintain our authorizations in a particular country, we will no longer be able to sell the

applicable product in that country.

Regulatory registration, clearance, marketing authorization, or approval by the FDA does not ensure

registration, clearance, marketing authorization, or approval by foreign regulatory authorities or authorized

representatives in other countries. Registration, clearance, marketing authorization, or approval by one or

more foreign regulatory authorities or authorized representatives do not ensure registration, clearance,

marketing authorization, or approval by regulatory authorities in other foreign countries or by the FDA.

However, a failure or delay in obtaining registration or regulatory clearance or approval in one country

may have a negative effect on the regulatory process in others.

**Risks related to data privacy and information technology**

***Failure to comply with laws and regulations affecting the transmission, security and privacy of***

***personal information (including health information) could result in significant penalties.***

Federal, state and foreign government bodies and authorities have adopted, are considering adopting, or

may adopt laws and regulations regarding the collection, use, processing, storage and disclosure of

personal information obtained from consumers and individuals. In the United States, federal, state, and

local governments have enacted numerous data privacy and security laws, including data breach

notification laws, personal data privacy laws, consumer protection laws (e.g., Section 5 of the Federal

Trade Commission Act), and other similar laws (e.g., wiretapping laws). Under these laws we may be

required to obtain certain consents to process personal data. For example, some of our data processing

practices have been, and may in the future continue to be, subject to challenges or lawsuits under

privacy, security, and communications laws, including, for example, challenges based on wiretapping laws

for sharing consumer information with third parties through various methods, such as via third-party

marketing pixels or software development kits. Our inability or failure to obtain consent for these practices

could result in adverse consequences, including class action litigation and mass arbitration demands. In

addition, numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including the Health Insurance Portability and

Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA"), as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic

and Clinical Health Act of 2009 ("HITECH"), govern the collection, dissemination, security, use and

confidentiality of patient identifiable health information. HIPAA and the HITECH Act require us to comply

with standards for the use and disclosure of health information within our company and with third parties.

The Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information ("Privacy Standards"), and the

Security Standards for the Protection of Electronic Protected Health Information ("Security Standards"),

under HIPAA establish a set of basic national privacy and security standards for the protection of

individually identifiable health information by health plans, healthcare clearinghouses and certain

healthcare providers, referred to as covered entities, and the business associates with whom such

covered entities contract for services. As a result, both covered entities and business associates can be

subject to significant civil and criminal penalties for failure to comply with the Privacy Standards or the

Security Standards.

HIPAA, the HITECH Act and the Affordable Care Act ("ACA") also include standards for common

healthcare electronic transactions and code sets, such as claims information, plan eligibility, payment

information and the use of electronic signatures, unique identifiers, operating rules. Companies that bill

payors for healthcare-related services and device use are required to conform to the transaction

standards. CMS, on behalf of HHS, has the authority to investigate complaints and audit for compliance

with the HIPAA standards for transactions, code sets, unique identifiers and operating rules, including the

Administrative Simplification provisions of HIPAA and the ACA. Failure to comply with these standards,

and any investigation or audit and penalties imposed may have an adverse impact on our business.

HIPAA requires covered entities and business associates to develop and maintain policies and

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

procedures with respect to protected health information that is used or disclosed, including the adoption of

administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect such information. The HITECH Act expands

the notification requirement for breaches of patient identifiable health information, restricts certain

disclosures and sales of patient identifiable health information and provides a tiered system for civil

monetary penalties for HIPAA violations. The Final HIPAA Omnibus Rule modifies the breach reporting

standard in a manner that will likely make more data security incidents qualify as reportable breaches.

The HITECH Act also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against covered

entities, business associates and possibly other persons and gave state attorneys general new authority

to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federal courts to enforce the federal HIPAA laws and seek

attorney fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. Additionally, states have adopted

comparable privacy and security laws and regulations that differ somewhat from federal and other states'

laws, and that govern where more stringent than federal law.

As a business associate under HIPAA, if we do not comply with the requirements of HIPAA, the HITECH

Act or applicable state privacy and security laws, we could be subject to criminal or civil sanctions that

could adversely affect our financial condition. The costs of complying with privacy and security related

legal and regulatory requirements are substantial and could have an adverse effect on our business. In

addition, we are unable to predict what changes to the HIPAA Privacy Standards and Security Standards

might be made in the future or how those changes could affect our business. Any new legislation or

regulation in the area of privacy and security of personal information, including personal health

information, could also adversely affect our business operations. In addition, a security breach could

require reporting to federal and state government entities, notification to affected individuals, expensive

investigation and remediation and mitigation. Government agencies could, in their discretion, impose fines

and penalties relating to the breach, that would have an adverse effect on our business.

Foreign data privacy regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (E.U.) 2016/679

("GDPR"), the European Union's Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC), and the country specific

regulations that implement Directive 95/46/EC, also govern the processing of personally identifiable data,

and a number of these regulations are stricter than U.S. laws.

In addition, many states have laws, regulations and other authorities that govern data privacy, security

and breach notification. While some of these laws exempt protected health information subject to HIPAA,

they may apply to other personal information we collect, including personal information collected from

employees or from visitors to our website. Failure to comply with these authorities may have an adverse

impact on our business.

We expect to expend significant resources to comply with these laws and regulations. The functional and

operational requirements and costs of compliance with such laws and regulations may adversely impact

our business, and failure to enable our solutions to comply with such laws and regulations could lead to

significant fines and penalties imposed by regulators, as well as claims, lawsuits and contractual

indemnification obligations by or for our customers or third parties and significant reputational harm.

***We depend on our information technology systems, and any failure of these systems could harm***

***our business and adversely affect our business and operating results.***

Information technology and telecommunications systems are vulnerable to damage from a variety of

sources, including telecommunications or network failures, failures during the processes of upgrading or

replacing software, power outages, hardware failures, user or human errors and natural disasters.

Moreover, despite network security and back up measures, some of our servers are potentially vulnerable

to cybersecurity incidents, including phishing attacks by computer hackers or other malicious human acts,

computer viruses, ransomware, malware and similar disruptive problems or other methods of

compromising employee or customer administrator credentials to access protected health information and

our internal data. Failures or significant downtime of our information technology or telecommunications

systems could prevent us from operating our business. Any disruption or loss of information technology or

telecommunications systems on which critical aspects of our operations depend could have an adverse

effect on our business and our operating results may suffer.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

In addition, our brand, reputation and ability to attract, retain and serve our customers are dependent

upon the reliable performance of our Heartflow Platform, including our underlying information technology

systems and infrastructure. Our technical infrastructure may not be adequately designed with sufficient

reliability and redundancy to avoid performance delays or outages that could be harmful to our business.

If our Heartflow Platform is unavailable when physicians attempt to access it, or if it does not load as

quickly as they expect, physicians may not use our Heartflow Platform as often in the future, or at all. As

our customer base continues to grow, we will need an increasing amount of technical infrastructure,

including network capacity and computing power, to continue to satisfy the needs of our users.

***We rely upon AWS to operate our cloud offering; any disruption of or interference with our use of***

***AWS would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.***

We outsource all of our cloud-based infrastructure to AWS. Our customers need to be able to access our

cloud-based infrastructure at any time, without interruption or degradation of performance. AWS runs its

own platform that we access, and we are, therefore, vulnerable to service interruptions at AWS. We may

experience interruptions, delays and outages in service and availability from time to time as a result of

problems with our AWS provided infrastructure. For example, in September 2015, AWS suffered a

significant outage that had a widespread impact on cloud-based software and services companies.

Although our customers were not affected by that outage, a similar outage could render our cloud offering

inaccessible to customers. Additionally, AWS has suffered outages at specific customer locations in the

past, rendering the customer unable to access our offering for periods of time. Lack of availability of our

AWS infrastructure could be due to a number of potential causes including technical failures, natural

disasters, fraud or security attacks that we cannot predict or prevent.

In addition, if the security of the AWS infrastructure is compromised or believed to have been

compromised, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. It is

possible that our customers and potential customers would hold us accountable for any breach of security

affecting the AWS infrastructure and we may incur significant liability from those customers and from third

parties with respect to any breach affecting AWS systems. For more information, see the risk factor titled

"Failure to comply with laws and regulations affecting the transmission, security and privacy of personal

information (including health information) could result in significant penalties." Because our agreement

with AWS limits AWS' liability for damages, we may not be able to recover a material portion of our

liabilities to our customers and third parties from AWS. Customers and potential customers may refuse to

do business with us because of the perceived or actual failure of our cloud offering as hosted by AWS and

our operating results could be harmed.

Our agreement with AWS allows AWS to terminate the agreement by providing 30 days' advance notice,

and allows AWS to terminate in case of a material breach of contract if such breach is uncured for 30

days following receipt of notice of such breach, or to terminate immediately upon notice to us (i) if AWS

has the right to suspend our account; (ii) if AWS' relationship with a third-party software or technology

provider terminates, expires or requires AWS to change the way it provides its services; or (iii) in order to

comply with the law or requests of governmental entities. Although we expect that we could receive

similar services from other third parties, if any of our arrangements with AWS are terminated, we could

experience interruptions on our platform and in our ability to make our platform available to customers, as

well as delays and additional expenses in arranging alternative cloud infrastructure services.

***If we fail to offer high quality customer support, our business and reputation could suffer.***

Our customers rely on our customer support teams to resolve technical and operational issues if and

when they arise. We may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in

customer demand for customer support. We also may be unable to modify the nature, scope and delivery

of our customer support to compete with changes in customer support services provided by our

competitors or to adapt to product and industry developments. Increased customer demand for customer

support, without corresponding revenue, could increase costs and harm our results of operations. In

addition, as we continue to grow our operations and reach a large global customer base, we need to be

able to provide efficient customer support that meets our customers' needs globally at scale. The number

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

of our customers has grown significantly, and that growth has and will continue to put additional pressure

on our support organization. As our business scales, we may need to engage third-party customer

support service providers, which could negatively impact the quality of our customer support if such third

parties are unable to provide customer support that is as effective as that we provide ourselves. Our sales

are highly dependent on our business reputation and on positive recommendations from our existing

customers. Accordingly, high quality customer support is important for the renewal and expansion of our

agreements with existing customers and any failure to maintain such standards of customer support, or a

market perception that we do not maintain high quality customer support, could harm our reputation, our

ability to sell product to existing and prospective customers and our business, financial condition, results

of operations and prospects.

***We invest significantly in research and development, and to the extent our research and***

***development investments do not translate into new products, features or improvements to our***

***current products, or if we do not use those investments efficiently, our business, financial***

***condition, results of operations and prospects would be harmed.***

A key element of our strategy is to invest significantly in our research and development efforts to

introduce new products, features and improvements aimed at increasing the value proposition of the

Heartflow Platform for our customers. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 and three

months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, our research and development expenses were 41%, 35%, 35%

and 37% of our revenue, respectively. If we do not spend our research and development budget efficiently

or effectively on compelling innovation and technologies, our business may be harmed and we may not

realize the expected benefits of our strategy. Moreover, research and development projects can be

technically challenging and expensive. The nature of these research and development cycles may cause

us to experience delays between the time we incur expenses associated with research and development

and the time we are able to offer compelling solutions and generate revenue, if any, from such

investment. For example, investments made to expand the Heartflow Platform to asymptomatic patients

may be expensive, technically challenging, experience delays and may not be successful. Additionally,

anticipated customer demand for a product or feature we are developing could decrease after the

development cycle has commenced, and we would nonetheless be unable to avoid substantial costs

associated with the development of any such product or features. If we expend a significant amount of

resources on research and development and our efforts do not lead to the successful introduction or

improvement of products or features that are competitive in our current or future markets, it would harm

our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***Our networks and those of our third-party service providers may become the target of bad actors***

***or security breaches that we cannot anticipate or successfully defend, which could have an***

***adverse impact on our business.***

The Heartflow Platform involves the storage and transmission of our customers' personal information or

identifying information of their patients. Increasingly, we and other companies are subject to a wide variety

of attacks on their networks on an ongoing basis. In addition to attacks from traditional computer

"hackers," malicious code (such as viruses and worms), employee theft or misuse, ransomware attacks

and denial of service attacks, sophisticated nation state and nation state supported actors now engage in

intrusions and attacks (including advanced persistent threat intrusions), and add to the risks to our

internal networks and the information they store and process. Additionally, such bad actors frequently

attempt to fraudulently induce employees or customers into disclosing sensitive information such as user

names, passwords or other information in order to gain access to our customers' data, their patient's data

or our data, including our intellectual property and other confidential business information, or our

information technology systems. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage

systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until successfully launched against a target,

we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures.

Despite significant efforts to create process and security barriers to such threats, it is virtually impossible

for us to entirely mitigate these risks. Any such breach could compromise our networks, creating system

disruptions or slowdowns and exploiting security vulnerabilities of our products, and the information stored

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

on our networks could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen, which could subject us to liability

and cause us significant financial harm. Such breaches often result in reputational damage, negative

publicity, loss of industry data security certifications, customers and sales, increased costs to remedy any

problem, costly litigation and contractual indemnification obligations by or for impacted customers or third

parties any of which could adversely affect our business. In addition, although we have, and intend to

maintain, insurance with respect to any such indemnification obligations, the coverage limits of our

insurance policies may not be adequate and one or more successful claims brought against us may have

an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We also rely on third-party service providers, such as cloud storage and telecommunications services

providers. Such service providers are also potentially vulnerable to cybersecurity incidents that could

result in the interruption of their services to us or unauthorized access, use or disclosure of our

confidential information and confidential information of our customers and protected health information of

their patients.

Our products are also targets for malicious cybersecurity acts. While some of our products contain

encryption or security algorithms to protect third-party content or patient information or other data stored

in our products, these products could still be hacked or targeted by malicious software programs or other

attacks or the encryption schemes could be compromised, breached or circumvented by motivated or

sophisticated hackers, which could harm our business and our reputation. In addition, see the risk factor

titled "Our Heartflow Platform and the data and models it generates could have bugs, defects or errors,

including human quality control errors, or otherwise fail to meet the expectations of patients, physicians

and third-party payors, which could adversely affect our reputation, business and operating results" for

more information on bugs, defects or errors in the Heartflow Platform.

**Risks related to legal and regulatory matters**

***We face extensive, regulatory requirements to bring our products to market, and our failure to***

***receive and maintain regulatory clearances or approvals of our current and future products in the***

***United States or abroad or to comply with medical device regulatory requirements could***

***adversely affect our business.***

In order to market any product, we must establish and comply with numerous and varying regulatory

requirements that vary by country and by region within certain countries. Approval, clearance or marketing

authorization in the United States by the FDA or by a regulatory authority or other body in another country

does not ensure approval by the regulatory authorities in other countries or jurisdictions or ensure

approval, clearance or other marketing authorization for the same conditions of use. Approval processes

vary among countries and can involve additional product testing and validation and additional

administrative review periods. In general, unless an exemption applies, in the U.S. current and future

versions of our products must receive pre-market notification ("510(k)"), de novo classification ("de novo")

or pre-market approval ("PMA") from the FDA before they can be marketed in the United States. We

cannot provide assurance that any of our future products, to the extent required, will be cleared, approved

or otherwise authorized by the FDA through any of its pre-market review processes, or that the FDA will

provide export certificates that are necessary to export certain products to certain countries. In addition,

the national health or social security organizations of certain foreign countries, including those outside

Europe, require our products to be qualified before they can be marketed in those countries. Failure to

receive, or delays in the receipt of, relevant foreign qualifications in the European Economic Area or other

foreign countries could have an adverse effect on our business.

Pre-market notification, de novo classification request or PMA applications may require support by data

from clinical trials. We are subject to requirements to publicly register and report the results of our clinical

trials. We must also abide by good clinical practice ("GCP") requirements in the conduct and

documentation of our clinical trials and report to the FDA significant financial interests of investigators in

any clinical trials we submit to support marketing applications for our products. We, the FDA or an

institutional review board ("IRB"), may suspend or terminate clinical trials at any time on various grounds,

including a finding that patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk or that the treatment

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

does not have any effect. If the FDA considers data from our clinical trials to be actually or potentially

biased due to investigators' financial interests, or unreliable due to GCP noncompliance, it can require us

to implement extensive data analyses or other corrective actions, or exclude data from consideration in

support of our marketing applications. These outcomes could result in delay or denial of FDA clearance or

approval and could result in the need to conduct additional, costly and time-consuming clinical trials.

Additionally, we are required to obtain pre-market clearance or approval to market significantly modified

versions of our currently cleared Heartflow Platform, as well as to market the existing product for new

indications. The FDA requires us to make and document a determination as to whether or not a

modification requires a new 510(k) clearance, de novo classification or PMA approval; however, the FDA

can review and disagree with our decision. Although we have received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for

the current version of the Heartflow Platform, we may not be successful in receiving clearances, de novo

classifications or approvals in the future or the FDA may not agree with our decisions not to seek

clearances, de novo classifications or approvals for any new products or particular product modifications

or updates. The FDA may require us to obtain a new 510(k) clearance, de novo classifications or approval

for any past or future modification or a new indication for our existing products. Such submissions may

require the development and submission of additional data, may be time consuming and costly, and

ultimately may not be cleared or approved by the FDA.

If the FDA requires us to obtain pre-market clearances, de novo classifications or approvals for any

marketed modification to a previously cleared version of the Heartflow Platform, we may be required to

cease manufacturing and marketing of the modified product or to recall the modified product until we

obtain such FDA marketing authorization. The FDA may not clear, grant or approve such submissions in a

timely manner, if at all. The FDA also may change its policies, adopt additional regulations, or revise

existing regulations, each of which could prevent or delay pre-market clearance, de novo classification or

approval of our devices, or could impact our ability to market a device that was previously cleared. Any of

the foregoing could adversely impact our business and financial condition.

In addition, the FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory authorities may delay, limit or deny

clearance, de novo classification or approval of future versions of or future indications for our products or

any other potential product for many reasons, including, among others:

• the results of our clinical trials may not meet the level of statistically significant and clinically

meaningful efficacy with an acceptable safety profile as required by FDA, or other comparable

regulatory authorities in other countries, for marketing approval;

• the FDA or other comparable regulatory authorities in other countries may disagree with the number,

design, size, conduct or implementation of our clinical trials;

• the FDA or other comparable regulatory authorities in other countries may disagree with our

interpretation of data from our clinical trials;

• the FDA or other comparable regulatory authorities in other countries may not accept data generated

at one or more of our clinical trial sites;

• if our 510(k) notifications, de novo classification requests, PMA applications, or similar notifications or

applications, if and when submitted, are reviewed by the FDA or other comparable regulatory

authorities, as applicable, the regulatory authorities may have difficulties scheduling the necessary

review meetings in a timely manner, or may recommend against clearance or approval of our

application; or

• the FDA may determine that our 510(k) notifications for new indications, if and when submitted, must

follow a different regulatory pathway than we have attempted, and there may be potentially extended

standards, timelines, reviews (such as by an FDA Advisory Committee) and costs in order to pursue

approval.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Any of these factors, many of which are beyond our control, could jeopardize our ability to obtain

regulatory clearance, de novo classification or approval for current or future versions of the Heartflow

Platform and could result in difficulties and costs for us. If we fail to comply with regulatory requirements in

international markets or to obtain and maintain required marketing authorizations, or if marketing

authorizations in international markets are delayed, our ability to realize the full market potential of our

new potential products will be limited.

***Healthcare policy changes, including recently enacted legislation reforming the U.S. healthcare***

***system could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations***

***and prospects.***

In the United States, there have been and continue to be a number of legislative and regulatory initiatives

to contain healthcare costs. Federal and state lawmakers regularly propose and, at times, enact

legislation that would result in significant changes to the U.S. healthcare system, some of which are

intended to contain or reduce the costs of medical products and services, including our own products. For

example, on July 4, 2025, the annual reconciliation bill, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," or OBBBA, was

signed into law which is expected to reduce Medicaid spending and enrollment by implementing work

requirements for some beneficiaries, capping state-directed payments, reducing federal funding, and

limiting provider taxes used to fund the program. OBBBA also narrows access to ACA marketplace

exchange enrollment and declines to extend the ACA enhanced advanced premium tax credits, set to

expire in 2025, which, among other provisions in the law, are anticipated to reduce the number of

Americans with health insurance. Current and future legislative proposals to further reform healthcare or

reduce healthcare costs may limit coverage of or lower reimbursement for the diagnostic tests associated

with the use of our products. The cost containment measures that payors and providers are instituting and

the effect of any healthcare reform initiative implemented in the future could impact our revenue from the

sale of our products.

We expect additional state and federal healthcare policies and reform measures to be adopted in the

future, particularly in light of the recent changes in the White House and Congress, any of which could

limit reimbursement for healthcare products and services or otherwise result in reduced demand for our

products or additional pricing pressure and have a material adverse effect on our industry generally and

on our customers. We cannot predict what other healthcare programs and regulations will ultimately be

implemented at the federal or state level or whether any future legislation or regulation in the United

States may negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The

continuing efforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other

payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare may adversely affect our ability to

set a price that we believe is fair for our products, our ability to generate revenue and achieve or maintain

profitability and the availability of capital.

Any changes of, or uncertainty with respect to, future coverage or reimbursement rates could affect

demand for our products, which may prevent us from being able to generate additional revenue or attain

profitability.

***We are subject to many laws and governmental regulations affecting our marketed products, both***

***domestically and internationally, and any adverse regulatory action may adversely affect our***

***business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.***

The Heartflow Platform is subject to regulation by numerous government authorities, including the FDA

and comparable foreign authorities, after clearance or approval of current and future versions of the

product. To varying degrees, each of these authorities requires us to comply with laws and regulations

governing the development, design, testing, manufacture, labeling, advertising, promotion, distribution,

import and export of our products. The Heartflow Platform (also referred to as Heartflow Analysis, which

consists of four main functions, the Heartflow FFRCT Analysis, the Heartflow Plaque Analysis, the

Heartflow RoadMap Analysis and the Heartflow PCI Planner (which we expect to launch in 2026)) has

been cleared by the FDA (K213857), and only the Heartflow FFRCT Analysis function of the Heartflow

Platform is CE Marked in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Australia, received

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

medical device licensing in Canada and has been approved for marketing authorization in Japan by the

Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency ("PMDA"), all for specific indications for use. The Heartflow

Platform has also been cleared by the equivalent regulatory authorities in Israel, Saudi Arabia, United

Arab Emirates, and licensed in Bahrain.

We currently have ongoing responsibilities under U.S., U.K., European Economic Area, Switzerland,

Canada, Australia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Israel (registered or licensed

regions) regulations, including requirements related to product and facility registration, device listing,

adverse event reporting, reporting of recalls and field corrective actions, manufacturing, advertising,

promotion, distribution, import, and export. In certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, we

contract with third parties (i.e., notified bodies, authorized representatives, manufacturing authorization

holders) who either oversee regulatory compliance or assume regulatory responsibilities for our products

distributed by those third parties. We are subject to periodic inspections and audits by the FDA, notified

bodies, authorized representatives and comparable foreign authorities to determine compliance with

regulatory requirements, including good manufacturing practices such as the Quality System Regulation

of the FDA, Medical Device Single Auditing Program, ISO 13485:2016, and EN ISO 13485:2021

concerning the EU, establishment registration and device listing, medical device reporting, vigilance

reporting of adverse events, notification of corrections, recalls, field safety corrective actions and product

labeling and marketing. These inspections and audits can result in inspectional observations or reports,

warning letters or other forms of enforcement action. If the FDA or comparable foreign authorities

conclude, as a result of these inspections or audits or from any other source of information, that we are

not in compliance with applicable laws or regulations, or that our products are ineffective or pose an

unreasonable health risk, such authorities could ban these products, suspend or cancel our marketing

authorizations, impose "stop sale" and "stop import" orders, refuse to issue export certificates, detain or

seize adulterated or misbranded products, order a recall, repair, replacement, correction or refund of such

products, require us to conduct post-market surveillance studies or change the labeling for our products,

or require us to notify health professionals and others that the products present unreasonable risks of

substantial harm to the public health. Failure to comply with regulatory requirements may also subject us

to additional administrative and judicially imposed sanctions, warning letters, civil and criminal penalties,

injunctions, interruption of manufacturing or clinical trials, total or partial suspension of production and

resulting adverse publicity.

Discovery of previously unknown problems with our products' design or manufacture may result in

restrictions on the use of the Heartflow Platform, restrictions placed on us or our suppliers or withdrawal

of the existing regulatory clearance of the Heartflow Platform. The FDA or comparable foreign authorities

may also impose operating restrictions, enjoin and restrain violations of applicable law pertaining to

medical devices, assess civil or criminal penalties against our officers, employees or us or recommend

criminal prosecution of our company. Adverse regulatory action of a certain magnitude may restrict us

from effectively marketing and selling our products. In addition, negative publicity or product liability

claims resulting from any adverse regulatory action could have an adverse effect on our business,

financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In many of the foreign countries in which we market our products, we are subject to extensive medical

device regulations that are similar to those of the FDA, including those in Europe. The regulation of our

products in Europe falls within the European Economic Area, which consists of the 27 member states of

the European Union, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Only medical devices that comply with

certain conformity requirements of the Medical Devices Regulation (E.U.) 2017/745 ("MDR") concerning

Medical Devices, or the E.U. Medical Devices Directive, Directive 2006/114/EC are allowed to be

marketed within the European Economic Area.

Foreign governmental regulations have become increasingly stringent and more extensive, and we may

become subject to even more rigorous regulation by foreign governmental authorities in the future.

Penalties for a company's noncompliance with foreign governmental regulation could be severe, including

revocation or suspension of a company's business license and civil or criminal sanctions. In some

jurisdictions, such as Germany, any violation of a law related to medical devices is also considered to be

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

a violation of unfair competition law. In such cases, governmental authorities, our competitors and

business or consumer associations may then file lawsuits to prohibit us from commercializing the

Heartflow Platform in such jurisdictions. Our competitors may also sue us for damages. Any domestic or

foreign governmental law or regulation imposed in the future may have an adverse effect on our business,

financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***Delays in the commencement or completion of future or ongoing clinical testing could result in***

***increased costs to us and delay our ability to market the Heartflow Platform for additional***

***indications.***

We are currently enrolling patients for our DECIDE clinical trial to evaluate our Heartflow Plaque Analysis

in a real-world setting. We do not know whether our DECIDE clinical trial will be completed on schedule,

or at all. The commencement or completion of clinical trials can be disrupted for a variety of reasons,

including difficulties in:

• recruiting and enrolling patients to participate in, and investigators to conduct, a clinical trial;

• reaching agreements on acceptable terms with prospective clinical research organizations and trial

sites;

• obtaining approval of an investigational device exemption ("IDE"), application from the FDA or

equivalent authorization from foreign regulatory authorities, if required; or

• obtaining IRB approval to conduct a clinical trial at a prospective site.

A clinical trial may also be suspended or terminated by us, an IRB, the FDA or other regulatory authorities

due to a number of factors, including:

• failure to conduct the clinical trial in accordance with regulatory requirements or in accordance with

our clinical protocols;

• inspection of the clinical trial operations or trial site by the FDA or other regulatory authorities resulting

in the imposition of a clinical hold;

• safety or effectiveness issues; or

• lack of adequate funding to continue the clinical trial.

In addition, changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, and we may need to amend

clinical trial protocols to respond to such changes, which could impact the cost, timing or successful

completion of a clinical trial. If we experience delays in the commencement or completion of our clinical

trials, the commercial prospects for additional indications for our products will be harmed.

***Interim, "top-line" and preliminary data from our clinical trials that we announce or publish from***

***time to time may change as more patient data become available and are subject to audit and***

***verification procedures that could result in material changes in the final data.***

From time to time, we may publicly disclose interim, top-line or preliminary data from our clinical trials,

including our DECIDE clinical trial, which is based on a preliminary analysis of then-available data, and

the results and related findings and conclusions are subject to change following a more comprehensive

review of the data related to the particular trial or additional data collected at a later time. We also make

assumptions, estimations, calculations and conclusions as part of our analyses of data, and we may not

have received or had the opportunity to fully and carefully evaluate all data. As a result, the interim, top-

line or preliminary results that we report may differ from future results of the same trial, or different

conclusions or considerations may qualify such results, once additional data have been received and fully

evaluated. Interim, top-line or preliminary data also remain subject to audit and verification procedures

that may result in the final data being materially different from the interim, top-line or preliminary data we

previously announced. As a result, interim, top-line and preliminary data should be viewed with caution

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

until the final data are available. Adverse differences between interim data and final data could

significantly harm our business prospects. Further, disclosure of interim data by us or by our competitors

could result in volatility in our share price.

Further, others, including the FDA and other regulatory authorities or other bodies, may not accept or

agree with our assumptions, estimates, calculations, conclusions or analyses or may interpret or weigh

the importance of data differently, which could impact the value of the particular trial, or the approvability

or potential for commercialization of the particular medical device. In addition, the information we choose

to publicly disclose regarding a particular study or clinical trial is based on what is typically extensive

information, and others may not agree with what we determine is material or otherwise appropriate

information to include in our disclosure. The interim, top-line or preliminary data that we report may differ

from final results, and regulatory authorities and other bodies may disagree with the conclusions reached,

which may harm our ability to obtain marketing authorization for, and commercialize, our future products,

which could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***We may face product liability claims that could result in costly litigation and significant liabilities.***

***We may not be able to maintain adequate product liability insurance.***

Development, marketing and clinical testing of our products may expose us to product liability and other

tort claims. Although we have, and intend to maintain, liability insurance, the coverage limits of our

insurance policies may not be adequate and one or more successful claims brought against us may have

an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. For example,

the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal where the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

ruled that the 1976 Medical Device Amendments to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act did not

preempt state laws in a product liability case involving a medical device company. If other courts in the

United States adopt similar rulings, we may be subject to increased litigation risk in connection with our

products. Product liability claims could negatively affect our reputation, product sales, and our ability to

obtain and maintain regulatory approval for our products.

In addition, although we have product liability and clinical study liability insurance, this insurance is

subject to deductibles and coverage limitations. Our current product liability insurance may not continue to

be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all, and, if available, coverage may not be adequate to protect

us against any future product liability claims. If we are unable to obtain insurance at an acceptable cost,

on acceptable terms with adequate coverage, or at all, or otherwise protect against potential product

liability claims, we will be exposed to significant liabilities, which may harm our business. A product liability

claim, recall or other claim with respect to uninsured liabilities or for amounts in excess of insured

liabilities could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of

operations and prospects.

***The Heartflow Platform may be subject to recalls, which could be costly and could harm our***

***reputation and business.***

We are subject to ongoing medical device reporting regulations that require us to report to the FDA or

similar governmental authorities in other countries if our products cause, or contribute to, death or serious

injury, or if they malfunction and would be likely to cause, or contribute to, death or serious injury if the

malfunction were to recur. We could voluntarily elect to, or the FDA and similar governmental authorities

in other countries could require us to, perform a correction, field safety corrective action, removal or other

recall of our products in the event of material deficiencies or defects in design, manufacturing or labeling

that could cause harm. Our products have been in the past, and may in the future, be the subject of

medical device reports of adverse events with the MAUDE database, including reports of false negative

results and incorrect or imprecise results or readings. Between 2017 and 2025, 116 Heartflow Platform

MAUDE reports were made, with 104 of those reports due to false negative results, 11 reports due to

incorrect, inadequate or imprecise results or readings, and one report due to an adverse event without an

identified device or use problem. While none of these MAUDE reports resulted in a mandated or voluntary

correction, field safety action, removal or a recall, a government mandated or voluntary correction, field

safety corrective action, removal or other recall could occur as a result of manufacturing errors or design

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

defects, including defects in labeling. Any correction, field safety corrective action, removal or other recall

would divert managerial and financial resources and could lead to a substantial loss of physician and

patient confidence in our products and, consequently, have an adverse effect on our growth prospects or

operating results. A correction, field safety corrective action, removal or other recall could also result in

substantial litigation, including product liability claims, with liabilities well in excess of our insurance

coverage limits. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial

condition, results of operations and prospects.

***Off-label or other unlawful promotion of our products could result in costly investigations and***

***sanctions from the FDA and other regulatory bodies.***

The Heartflow Platform (also referred to as Heartflow Analysis, which consists of four main functions, the

Heartflow FFRCT Analysis, the Heartflow Plaque Analysis, the Heartflow RoadMap Analysis and the

Heartflow PCI Planner (which we expect to launch in 2026)) has been cleared by the FDA (K213857), and

only the Heartflow FFRCT Analysis function of the Heartflow Platform is CE Marked in the European

Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Australia, received medical device licensing in Canada and has

been approved for marketing authorization in Japan by the PMDA, all for specific indications for use. The

Heartflow Platform has also been cleared by the equivalent regulatory authorities in Israel, Saudi Arabia,

United Arab Emirates, and licensed in Bahrain. We may only promote or market our products for their

specifically cleared or approved indications. We train our marketing and sales force against promoting our

products for uses outside of the cleared or approved indications for use ("off-label use").

If the FDA determines that our promotional materials or training constitute promotion of an off-label use,

or of claims that are not adequately substantiated or that are otherwise false or misleading, it could

request that we modify our training or promotional materials or subject us to regulatory or enforcement

actions, including the issuance of an untitled letter, a warning letter, injunction, seizure, civil fine or

criminal penalties. It is also possible that other federal, state or foreign enforcement authorities, including

the Federal Trade Commission or Department of Justice, might take action if they consider our business

activities to constitute promotion of an off-label use or other unlawful promotion, which could result in

significant penalties, including criminal, civil and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement,

exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs and the curtailment of our operations.

Any of these events could significantly harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and

prospects.

Further, the advertising and promotion of our products are subject to European Economic Area Member

States laws implementing the Medical Devices Directive concerning misleading and comparative

advertising, and Directive 2005/29/EC on unfair commercial practices, as well as other European

Economic Area Member State legislation governing the advertising and promotion of medical devices.

European Economic Area Member State legislation may also restrict or impose limitations on our ability to

advertise our products directly to the general public. In addition, voluntary E.U. and national codes of

conduct provide guidelines on the advertising and promotion of our products to the general public and

may impose limitations on our promotional activities with healthcare professionals harming our business,

financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***We are subject to numerous federal, state and foreign healthcare fraud and abuse, compliance,***

***transparency and privacy laws and regulations, and a failure to comply with such laws and***

***regulations could have an adverse effect on our business; similarly, an investigation, inquiry or***

***audit by a government agency that alleges violations of law or regulations may have an adverse***

***effect on our business.***

Our operations are, and will continue to be, directly and indirectly affected by various federal, state and/or

foreign healthcare laws, including those described below. In particular, because the use of our products

are directly or indirectly reimbursed by U.S. federal health care programs, for example Medicare, we are

subject to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a criminal law that prohibits, among other things, any person

or entity from knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting or receiving any remuneration in cash or

in-kind (including any kickback or bribe, but also common forms of remuneration, such as service or

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

consulting fees, service fees, meals, travel expenses, discounts or rebates), directly or indirectly, overtly

or covertly, in cash or in kind, in return for or to induce the referring, ordering, leasing, purchasing or

arranging for or recommending the referring, ordering, purchasing or leasing of any good, facility, item or

service, for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under federal healthcare programs, such as

the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The term "remuneration" has been broadly interpreted to include

anything of value. Although there are a number of statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors

protecting certain common activities, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Failure to meet

all of the requirements of a statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make the conduct per

se illegal under the Anti-Kickback Statute. Instead, the arrangement will be evaluated on a case-by-case

basis based on a cumulative review of all of its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted

the statute's intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of an arrangement involving

remuneration is to induce referrals of (or purchases, uses or recommendations of prescriptions, uses or

purchases related to) federal healthcare program covered business, the Anti-Kickback Statute has been

implicated and potentially violated. Our practices may not in all cases meet all of the criteria for safe

harbor protection from Anti-Kickback Statute liability. Further, the ACA, amends the intent requirement of

the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and certain criminal healthcare fraud statutes. A person or entity no

longer needs to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it. In addition, the

government may assert that a claim for payment by a government health care program including items or

services resulting from a violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for

purposes of the false claims laws.

The U.S. civil False Claims Act prohibits, among other things, any person or entity from knowingly

presenting, or causing to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment or approval to the federal

government or knowingly making, using, or causing to be made or used a false record or statement

material to a false or fraudulent claim to the federal government. A claim includes "any request or

demand" for money or property presented to the U.S. government. The civil False Claims Act also applies

to false submissions that cause the government to not receive a benefit to which it is entitled, such as a

discounted sales price for products covered by federal healthcare programs. Intent to deceive is not

required to establish liability under the civil False Claims Act. In addition, the civil False Claims Act

includes a whistleblower provision that allows private citizens to bring claims on behalf of the U.S.

government alleging violations of the law. Whistleblowers may be entitled to up to as much as thirty

percent (30%) of the government's financial recovery resulting from such claims. This incentivizes

potential whistleblowers to file complaints in federal court, which complaints are relied upon heavily by the

government to investigate and prosecute allegations of violations of both the civil False Claims Act and

the Anti-Kickback Statute. U.S. enforcement authorities or private whistleblowers acting on behalf of the

U.S. government may file complaints under the civil False Claims Act alleging that we have caused one or

more of our customers to submit false submissions for reimbursement from federal health care programs,

including Medicare, Medicaid, or the Veterans Affairs program due to alleged kickbacks, the sale of

adulterated or misbranded products, or the provision of false or misleading information to our customers

or other third parties.

Additionally, under the federal Civil Money Penalty Statute, the Department of Health and Human

Services ("HHS") may impose civil money penalties against entities that make offers to transfer or transfer

remuneration, including gifts, payments or routine waivers of co-payments or deductibles, to any

Medicare beneficiary in order to influence such individual to order or receive any item or service for which

payment may be made, in whole or in part, under Medicare and/or a State health care program.

Violations of these laws and regulations may result in significant criminal and/or civil fines and penalties,

as well as potential exclusion from participation in federal health care programs, that could significantly

impact our business and operations.

We are also subject to other federal and state fraud and abuse laws, including HIPAA's fraud provisions,

which among other things, are criminal laws that prohibit, among other actions, knowingly and willfully

executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme or artifice to defraud any healthcare benefit program,

including private payors, knowingly and willfully embezzling or stealing from a healthcare benefit program,

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

willfully preventing, obstructing, misleading, delaying or attempting to delay a criminal investigation of a

healthcare offense and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or

making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or representation in connection with the

delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. Many of these state laws closely mirror

the federal Anti-Kickback Statute or civil False Claims Act, but apply more broadly to products and

services that are paid for in any way, whereas the federal law pertains only to those reimbursed by federal

health care programs. In addition, many states have also adopted laws prohibiting fee-splitting (the

sharing of professional fees with non-state licensed persons or entities), restricting marketing activities

with physicians and/or prohibiting the practice of medicine (or the direction of the practice of medicine) by

corporations or others that are not specifically licensed to practice medicine within the state. While under

our model, licensed practitioners independently are providing any and all medical treatment and

diagnostic services for which a state license is required, these state laws still may apply to us.

We also are subject to foreign fraud and abuse laws and regulations, which vary by country, and can

prohibit many of the same activities addressed by U.S. laws.

We are also subject to the federal and state transparency reporting laws and regulations, gift bans and

compliance reporting provisions. The Physician Payments Sunshine Act (also known as Open Payments)

requires manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available

under Medicare, Medicaid or the State Children's Health Insurance Program to report annually to the

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services information related to payments and other transfers of value

provided directly or indirectly to physicians (defined to include doctors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists

and chiropractors), other healthcare providers (such as physician assistants and nurse practitioners) and

teaching hospitals. Such manufacturers are also required to annually report certain ownership and

investment interests held by such U.S. physicians and their immediate family members. Certain states,

like Massachusetts and Vermont have similar reporting requirements. Some states, like Vermont, prohibit

gifts and certain benefits from being provided to physicians licensed within that state. Other states, such

as California and Nevada mandate implementation of compliance programs to ensure compliance with

fraud and abuse laws and regulations, as well as with industry codes of conduct, such as the AdvaMed

Code of Ethics on Interactions with Health Care Professionals. Our business is subject to these many

requirements, which can be nuanced and lacking in clear guidance. Our failure to comply with these laws

or regulations could result in substantial fines or penalties. Further, our reports made pursuant to these

laws may be used by enforcement authorities or whistleblowers to raise or substantiate allegations

against us.

We are also subject to the federal physician self-referral prohibitions, commonly known as the Stark Law,

which prohibits, among other things, physicians who have a financial relationship, including an

investment, ownership or compensation relationship with an entity that submits claims for payment to the

Medicare or Medicaid programs, from referring Medicare or Medicaid patients for certain "designated

health services," which include diagnostic imaging services related to our products, unless an exception

applies. Similarly, entities may not bill Medicare or any other party for services furnished pursuant to a

prohibited referral. Many states have their own self-referral laws as well, which in some cases apply to all

payors, not just Medicare and Medicaid.

If our operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws described above or any other

governmental regulations that apply to us now or in the future, we may be subject to significant penalties,

including civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, exclusion from governmental

healthcare programs and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could adversely

affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results.

We also note that there is risk of our being found in violation of these laws by the fact that many of them

have not been fully, clearly or consistently interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, and their

provisions are open to a variety of interpretations. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if

we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our

management's attention from the operation of our business. Moreover, to achieve compliance with

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

applicable federal and state privacy, security and electronic transaction laws, we may be required to

modify our operations with respect to the handling of patient information. Similarly, to achieve compliance

with other applicable federal and state anti-fraud, open payments or other healthcare regulations, we may

be required to modify our operations. Implementing any of these modifications may prove costly. At this

time, we are not able to determine the full consequences to us, including the total cost of compliance, of

these various federal and state laws.

***We are subject to U.S. and foreign anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws with respect to***

***our operations and non-compliance with such laws can subject us to criminal and/or civil liability***

***and harm our business.***

We are subject to the FCPA, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the

U.S. Travel Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, the U.K. Bribery Act of 2010 and Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and

possibly other state and national anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in countries in which we

conduct activities. Anti-corruption laws are interpreted broadly and prohibit companies and their

employees and third-party intermediaries from authorizing, promising, offering or providing, directly or

indirectly, improper payments or benefits to recipients in the public or private sector. We use third-party

representatives to support sales of our products abroad. In addition, as we increase our international

sales and business, we may engage with additional business partners and third-party intermediaries to

sell our products abroad and to obtain necessary permits, licenses and other regulatory approvals. We or

our third-party intermediaries may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of

government agencies or state owned or affiliated entities. We can be held liable for the corrupt or other

illegal activities of these third-party intermediaries, our employees, representatives, contractors, partners

and agents, even if we do not explicitly authorize or have actual knowledge of such activities.

Noncompliance with anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws could subject us to whistleblower

complaints, investigations, sanctions, settlements, prosecution, other enforcement actions, disgorgement

of profits, significant fines, damages, other civil and criminal penalties or injunctions, suspension or

debarment from contracting with certain persons, the loss of export privileges, reputational harm, adverse

media coverage and other collateral consequences. If any subpoenas or investigations are launched, or

governmental or other sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal

litigation, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially harmed. In

addition, responding to any action will likely result in a materially significant diversion of management's

attention and resources and significant defense and compliance costs and other professional fees. In

certain cases, enforcement authorities may even cause us to appoint an independent compliance monitor,

which can result in added costs and administrative burdens. As a general matter, enforcement actions

and sanctions could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***We are subject to governmental export and import controls that could impair our ability to***

***compete in international markets due to licensing requirements and subject us to liability if we are***

***not in compliance with applicable laws.***

Our products are subject to export control and import laws and regulations, including the U.S. Export

Administration Regulations, U.S. Customs regulations and various economic and trade sanctions

regulations administered by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control. Exports of

our products must be made in compliance with these laws and regulations. If we fail to comply with these

laws and regulations, we and certain of our employees could be subject to substantial civil or criminal

penalties, including: the possible loss of export or import privileges; fines, which may be imposed on us

and responsible employees or managers; and, in extreme cases, the incarceration of responsible

employees or managers. Obtaining the necessary authorizations, including any required license, for a

particular sale may be time consuming, is not guaranteed and may result in the delay or loss of sales

opportunities. In addition, changes in our products or changes in applicable export or import regulations

may create delays in the introduction and sale of our products in international markets, prevent our

customers with international operations from deploying our products or, in some cases, prevent the export

or import of our products to certain countries, governments or persons altogether. Any change in export or

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

import regulations, shift in the enforcement or scope of existing regulations or change in the countries,

governments, persons or technologies targeted by such regulations, could also result in decreased use of

our products, or in our decreased ability to export or sell our products to existing or potential customers

with international operations. Any decreased use of our products or limitation on our ability to export or

sell our products would likely adversely affect our business.

Furthermore, we incorporate encryption technology into certain of our products. Various countries

regulate the import of certain encryption technology, including through import permitting and licensing

requirements, and have enacted laws that could limit our ability to distribute our products or could limit our

customers' ability to implement our products in those countries. Encrypted products and the underlying

technology may also be subject to export control restrictions. Governmental regulation of encryption

technology and regulation of imports or exports of encryption products, or our failure to obtain required

import or export approval for our products, when applicable, could harm our international sales and

adversely affect our revenue. Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements regarding the export of

our products, including with respect to new releases of our products, may create delays in the introduction

of our products in international markets, prevent our customers with international operations from

deploying our products throughout their globally distributed systems or, in some cases, prevent the export

of our products to some countries altogether.

Moreover, U.S. export control laws and economic sanctions programs prohibit the shipment of certain

products and services to countries, governments and persons that are subject to U.S. economic

embargoes and trade sanctions. Any violations of such economic embargoes and trade sanction

regulations could have negative consequences, including government investigations, penalties and

reputational harm.

***Any future litigation against us could be costly and time-consuming to defend.***

We have been in the past, and we may become in the future, subject to legal proceedings and claims that

arise in the ordinary course of business, such as claims brought by our third-party vendors, our customers

or their patients in connection with contractual disputes or the use of our Heartflow Platform, claims

brought by us or by competitors related to intellectual property or employment claims made by our current

or former employees. Litigation might result in substantial costs and may divert management's attention

and resources, which might seriously harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and

prospects. Insurance might not cover such claims, might not provide sufficient payments to cover all the

costs to resolve one or more such claims, and might not continue to be available at all or on terms

acceptable to us (including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance

requirements). A claim brought against us that is uninsured or underinsured could result in unanticipated

costs, potentially harming our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In

addition, we cannot be sure that our existing insurance coverage will continue to be available on

acceptable terms or at all or that our insurers will not deny coverage as to any future claim.

**Risks related to our intellectual property** 

***If we are unable to obtain and maintain sufficient intellectual property rights, or the scope of our***

***rights is not sufficiently broad, third parties could develop and commercialize technology and***

***products similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize our technology***

***and products may be adversely affected.***

Our commercial success will depend, in part, on our ability to continue obtaining and maintaining

intellectual property protection for our technology and products, in both the United States and certain

other countries, successfully defending this intellectual property against third-party challenges and

successfully enforcing this intellectual property to prevent third-party infringement. We rely upon a

combination of patents, trade secrets, know-how, copyrights, trademarks, license agreements and

contractual provisions to establish our intellectual property rights and protect our products.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Our ability to protect our technologies and products from unauthorized or infringing use by third parties

depends in substantial part on our ability to obtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents in both the

United States and certain other countries. The patent positions of medical technology and software

companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal, scientific and factual questions for which

important legal principles remain unresolved. In addition, the patent prosecution process is expensive,

time-consuming and complex, and we may not be able to file, prosecute, maintain, enforce, defend or

license all necessary or desirable patents or patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely

manner, or in all jurisdictions.

We cannot guarantee that any patents will issue from any pending or future patent applications owned by

or licensed to us, or if issued, the breadth of such patent coverage. In particular, during prosecution of any

patent application, the issuance of any patents based on the application may depend upon our ability to

generate additional preclinical or clinical data that support the patentability of our proposed claims. We

may not be able to generate sufficient additional data on a timely basis, or at all. It is also possible that we

may fail to identify patentable aspects of inventions made in the course of our development and

commercial activities before it is too late to obtain patent protection on such inventions. If we fail to timely

file for patent protection in any jurisdiction, we may be precluded from doing so at a later date.

The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its inventorship, ownership, scope, validity or

enforceability, and our owned or licensed patents may be challenged in the courts or the patent offices of

the United States or abroad. Such challenges may result in a loss of exclusivity or in the patent's claims

being narrowed, invalidated or held unenforceable, in whole or in part, which could limit our ability to stop

third parties from using or commercializing similar or identical products, or limit the duration of patent

protection for our technology and products. In addition, changes in either the patent laws, implementing

regulations or interpretations of patent laws in the United States or foreign countries may diminish the

value of our patent rights.

Even if unchallenged, our owned or licensed patents may not provide us with exclusivity or commercial

value for our products or any significant protection against competitive products or prevent others from

designing around our claims. Our competitors might conduct research and development activities in

countries where we do not have patent rights (or in those countries where we do, under safe harbor

provisions) and then use the information learned from such activities to develop competitive products for

sale in our major commercial markets. Further, if we encounter delays in regulatory approvals, the period

of time during which we could market our products under patent protection could be reduced. Any of

these outcomes could impair our ability to prevent competition from third parties, which may have an

adverse impact on our business.

Patent applications are generally maintained in confidence until publication. In the United States, for

example, patent applications are maintained in secrecy for up to 18 months after their filing. Similarly,

publication of discoveries in scientific or patent literature often lag behind actual discoveries.

Consequently, we cannot be certain that we or our licensors were the first to invent, or the first to file

patent applications on our products. There is also no assurance that all of the potentially relevant prior art

relating to our patents and patent applications has been found, which could be used by a third party to

challenge validity of our patents or prevent a patent from issuing from a pending patent application.

In addition to patents, proprietary trade secrets and unpatented know-how are important to our business.

For information about risks related to these intellectual property rights, see the risk factor titled "If we are

unable to protect the disclosure and use of our confidential information and trade secrets, the value of our

products and technologies and our business and competitive position could be harmed" below. We also

rely on the trademarks we own to distinguish our products from the products of our competitors. We

cannot guarantee that any trademark applications filed by us will be approved. Third parties may also

oppose or attempt to cancel our trademark applications or trademarks, or otherwise challenge our use of

the trademarks. In the event that the trademarks we use are successfully challenged, we could be forced

to rebrand our products, which could result in loss of brand recognition, and could require us to devote

resources to advertising and marketing new brands. Competitors or other parties may adopt trade names

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

or trademarks similar to ours, thereby impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly leading to

market confusion.

Further, we cannot provide assurance that competitors will not infringe the trademarks we use, or that we

will have adequate resources to enforce these trademarks. If we attempt to enforce our trademarks and

assert trademark infringement claims, a court may determine that the marks we have asserted are invalid

or unenforceable, or that the party against whom we have asserted trademark infringement has superior

rights to the marks in question. In this case, we could ultimately be forced to cease use of such

trademarks. We may license our trademarks and trade names to third parties, such as distributors.

Though these license agreements may provide guidelines for how our trademarks and trade names may

be used, a breach of these agreements or misuse of our trademarks and trade names by our licensees

may jeopardize our rights in or diminish the goodwill associated with our trademarks and trade names.

Over the long term, if we are unable to establish name recognition based on our trademarks and trade

names, then we may not be able to compete effectively and our business may be adversely affected.

For information about risks related to our inability to protect our intellectual property rights outside the

United States, see the risk factor titled "We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property

rights throughout the world" below.

***If we are unable to protect the disclosure and use of our confidential information and trade***

***secrets, the value of our products and technologies and our business and competitive position***

***could be harmed.***

In addition to patent protection, we also rely on other intellectual property rights, including trade secrets,

know-how, and/or other proprietary information that is not patentable or that we elect not to patent.

However, trade secrets can be difficult to protect, and some courts are less willing or unwilling to protect

trade secrets. Although we have taken steps to protect our trade secrets and unpatented know-how,

including by entering into confidentiality agreements with third parties, and proprietary information and

invention agreements with our employees, consultants and advisors, third parties may still obtain this

information or we may be unable to protect our rights. There can be no assurance that binding

agreements will not be breached, that we would have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade

secrets and unpatented know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently discovered by

our competitors. We also seek to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of our data and trade secrets

by maintaining physical security of our premises and physical and electronic security of our information

technology systems. While we have confidence in these individuals, organizations and systems, our

security measures may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach.

If any of our trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor, we

would have no right to prevent them, or those to whom they communicate it, from using that information to

compete with us. Any exposure of our trade secrets and other proprietary information would impair our

competitive advantages and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,

results of operations and prospects. In particular, a failure to protect our proprietary rights may allow

competitors to copy our products or technologies, which could adversely affect our pricing and market

share. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to copy or reverse engineer certain aspects of our products

or technologies that we consider proprietary.

Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our trade

secret rights and related confidentiality, non-disclosure and non-use provisions, and outcomes of such

litigation are unpredictable. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed, used or misappropriated a

trade secret can be difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. While we

use commonly accepted security measures, trade secret claims are often based on a combination of

federal and state law in the United States, and the criteria for protection of trade secrets can vary among

different jurisdictions. If the steps we have taken to maintain our trade secrets are deemed inadequate,

we may have insufficient recourse against third parties for misappropriating the trade secret. In addition,

agreement terms that address non-competition are difficult to enforce in many jurisdictions and might not

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

be enforceable in certain cases. Even if we were to be successful in the enforcement of our claims, we

may not be able to obtain adequate remedies.

***Reliance on third parties requires us to share our trade secrets, which increases the possibility***

***that a competitor will discover them or that our trade secrets will be misappropriated or disclosed***

***to others.***

Any collaboration or other engagement with third parties for the development of our products may require

us, at times, to share trade secrets with them. We may also conduct joint research and development

programs that may require us to share trade secrets under the terms of our research and development

partnerships or similar agreements. We seek to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary technology

in part by entering into confidentiality agreements with third parties prior to beginning research or

disclosing proprietary information. These agreements typically limit the rights of the third parties to use or

disclose our confidential information, including our trade secrets. Despite the contractual provisions

employed when working with third parties, the need to share trade secrets and other confidential

information increases the risk that such trade secrets become known by our competitors, are

inadvertently incorporated into the technology of others, or are disclosed or used in violation of these

agreements. Given that our proprietary Heartflow Platform is based, in part, on our know-how and trade

secrets, a competitor's discovery of our trade secrets or other unauthorized use or disclosure could have

an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In addition, these agreements typically restrict the ability of our advisors, employees, third-party

contractors and consultants to publish data potentially relating to our trade secrets. Despite our efforts to

protect our trade secrets, we may not be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our

technical know-how or other trade secrets by the parties to these agreements. Moreover, we cannot

guarantee that we have entered into such agreements with each party that may have or have had access

to our confidential information or proprietary technology and processes. Monitoring unauthorized uses

and disclosures is difficult, and we do not know whether the steps we have taken to protect our

proprietary technologies will be effective. If any of the collaborators, scientific advisors, employees,

contractors and consultants who are parties to these agreements breaches or violates the terms of any of

these agreements, we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach or violation, and we could

lose our trade secrets as a result. Moreover, if confidential information that is licensed or disclosed to us

by our partners, collaborators, or others is inadvertently disclosed or subject to a breach or violation, we

may be exposed to liability to the owner of that confidential information. Enforcing a claim that a third

party illegally obtained and is using our trade secrets, like patent litigation, is expensive and time

consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States are

sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets, and we may need to share our trade secrets and

proprietary know-how with current or future partners, collaborators, contractors and others located in

countries at heightened risk of theft of trade secrets, including through direct intrusion by private parties or

foreign actors, and those affiliated with or controlled by state actors.

***Obtaining and maintaining our patent protection depends on compliance with various procedural,***

***document submission, fee payment and other requirements imposed by governmental patent***

***agencies, and our patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for noncompliance with these***

***requirements.***

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") and various foreign governmental patent agencies

require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other similar provisions

during the patent application process. In addition, periodic maintenance fees, renewal fees, annuity fees,

and various other government fees on patents and/or applications will be due to be paid to the USPTO

and various governmental patent agencies outside of the United States over the lifetime of our patents

and/or applications and any patent rights we may obtain in the future. We have systems in place to

remind us to pay these fees, and we employ outside firms to remind us to pay annuity fees due to patent

agencies on our patents and pending patent applications. In many cases, an inadvertent lapse can be

cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules. However, there

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent

application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. In such an

event, our competitors might be able to enter the relevant market, which would have an adverse effect on

our business. Noncompliance events that could result in abandonment or lapse of a patent or patent

application include failure to respond to official actions within prescribed time limits, non-payment of fees

and failure to properly legalize and submit formal documents.

***Changes in patent law, precedents and policies in the United States and other jurisdictions could***

***diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.***

Our ability to obtain patents is highly uncertain because, to date, some legal principles remain unresolved,

and there has not been a consistent policy regarding the breadth or interpretation of claims allowed in

patents in the United States. Furthermore, the specific content of patents and patent applications that are

necessary to support and interpret patent claims is highly uncertain due to the complex nature of the

relevant legal, scientific, and factual issues. The United States Supreme Court has ruled on several

patent cases in recent years, either narrowing the scope of patent protection available in certain

circumstances or weakening the rights of patent owners in certain situations. Changes in either the patent

laws or interpretations of patent laws in the United States or other jurisdictions may diminish the value of

our intellectual property. In the United States, in certain circumstances, court rulings may narrow the

scope of patent protection and weaken the rights of patent owners. We cannot predict how decisions by

the courts, the U.S. Congress, the USPTO or changes in the patent laws of other jurisdictions may impact

the value of our patents. Changes in the laws, regulations, precedents and procedures governing patents

could have a material adverse effect on our existing patent portfolio and our ability to protect and enforce

our intellectual property in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business,

financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Further, patent coverage in medical devices and technologies is a subject of evolution and differences

between countries. This is especially true of the definition of patentable subject matter which affects both

computer related inventions and biological inventions. This evolution may cause current granted patents

to be considered non-patent eligible or prevent us from protecting future inventions. U.S. Supreme Court

and Federal Circuit decisions interpreting and/or limiting the scope of patentable subject matter under 35

U.S.C. § 101, in addition to examination guidelines from the USPTO, have made it more difficult for

patentees to obtain and/or maintain patent claims in the United States that are directed to medical

technologies involving computer-implemented applications. Several precedential decisions regarding

patentable subject matter are of particular relevance to patents in the computer-implemented applications

space. Our efforts to seek patent protection for our technologies and products may be impacted by the

evolving case law and guidance or procedures issued by the USPTO or authorities in other jurisdictions

based on such evolving case law.

Similarly, changes in patent laws and regulations in other countries or jurisdictions, changes in the

governmental bodies that enforce them or changes in how the relevant governmental authority enforces

patent laws or regulations may weaken our ability to obtain new patents or to enforce patents that we may

obtain in the future. For example, the complexity and uncertainty of European patent laws have also

increased in recent years. In Europe, a new unitary patent system took effect June 1, 2023, which will

significantly impact European patents, including those granted before the introduction of the new unitary

patent system. Under the unitary patent system, European applications have the option, upon grant of a

patent, of becoming a Unitary Patent which will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Unitary Patent Court

("UPC"). As the UPC is a new court system, there is no precedent for the court, increasing the uncertainty

of any litigation. Patents granted before the implementation of the UPC have the ability to opt out of the

jurisdiction of the UPC and remain as national patents in the UPC countries. The UPC will provide our

competitors with a new forum to centrally revoke European patents, and allow for the possibility of a

competitor to obtain pan-European injunctions, since patents that remain under the jurisdiction of the UPC

will be potentially vulnerable to a single UPC-based revocation challenge that, if successful, could

invalidate the patent in all countries who are signatories to the UPC. We cannot predict with certainty the

long-term effects of any potential changes.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Further, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent or in the

same manner as the laws of the United States and Europe. As a result, we may encounter significant

problems in protecting and defending our intellectual property both in the United States and abroad. For

example, if the issuance in a given country of a patent covering an invention is not followed by the

issuance in other countries of patents covering the same invention, or if any judicial interpretation of the

validity, enforceability or scope of the claims or the written description or enablement, in a patent issued in

one country is not similar to the interpretation given to the corresponding patent issued in another country,

our ability to protect our intellectual property in those countries may be limited. Changes in either patent

laws or in interpretations of patent laws in the United States and other countries may materially diminish

the value of our intellectual property or narrow the scope of our patent protection.

In addition, on September 16, 2011, the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (the "Leahy-Smith Act") was

signed into law. The Leahy-Smith Act includes a number of significant changes to U.S. patent law.

Assuming that other requirements for patentability are met, prior to March 16, 2013, in the United States,

the first to invent the claimed invention was entitled to the patent, while outside the United States, the first

to file a patent application was entitled to the patent. On or after March 16, 2013, under the Leahy-Smith

Act, the United States transitioned to a first inventor to file system in which, assuming that other

requirements for patentability are met, the first inventor to file a patent application will be entitled to the

patent on an invention regardless of whether a third party was the first to invent the claimed invention.

Under this system, a third party that files a patent application in the USPTO before us could be awarded a

patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before it was made by such third

party. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period

of time after filing or until issuance, we cannot be certain that we or our licensors were the first to either (i)

file any patent application related to our products or (ii) invent any of the inventions claimed in our or our

licensors' patents or patent applications.

The Leahy-Smith Act also changed the way patent applications are prosecuted, including by allowing

third-party submission of prior art to the USPTO during patent prosecution and additional procedures to

challenge the validity of a patent by USPTO administered post-grant proceedings to attack the validity of

a patent. Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary

standard in U.S. federal courts necessary to invalidate a patent claim, a third party could potentially

provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the

same evidence might not be sufficient to invalidate the claim if presented in a district court action.

Accordingly, third parties may use USPTO proceedings to invalidate our patent claims that would not have

been invalidated if first challenged in a district court action. Therefore, the Leahy-Smith Act and its

implementation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent

applications and the enforcement or defense of our issued patents, which could have a material adverse

effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.***

Our patent portfolio includes patents and patent applications in countries outside of the United States,

including Japan, Korea, China, Canada, Australia, Israel, India and countries in Europe. The requirements

for patentability differ from country to country, the breadth of allowed patent claims can be inconsistent,

the scope of coverage provided by these patents varies and the laws of some foreign countries may not

protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as laws in the United States. In addition, filing,

prosecuting and defending patents on our products in all countries throughout the world would be

prohibitively expensive. For those countries where we do not have granted patents, we may not have any

ability to prevent the unauthorized sale of our products.

In addition, we may decide to abandon national and regional patent applications before they are granted.

The examination of each national or regional patent application is an independent proceeding. As a result,

patent applications in the same family may issue as patents in some jurisdictions, such as in the United

States, but may issue as patents with claims of different scope or may even be refused in other

jurisdictions. It is also quite common that depending on the country, the scope of patent protection may

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

vary for the same product or technology. For example, certain jurisdictions do not allow for patent

protection with respect to methods of treatment.

Consequently, we may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our inventions in all countries

outside the United States. Competitors may use our technologies in jurisdictions where we have not

obtained patent protection to develop their own products and, further, may export otherwise infringing

products to territories in which we have patent protection that may not be sufficient to terminate infringing

activities. Accordingly, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property and proprietary rights around the

world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that

we develop or license.

Many countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant

licenses to third parties, government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, the patent

owner may have limited remedies, which could materially diminish the value of such patent. If we or any

of our licensors is forced to grant a license to third parties with respect to any patents relevant to our

business, our competitive position may be impaired, and our business, financial condition, results of

operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

We do not seek or have patent rights in certain foreign countries in which a market may exist. Accordingly,

our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights in such countries may be inadequate, which may have

an adverse effect on our ability to successfully commercialize our products in all of our expected

significant foreign markets. Moreover, in foreign jurisdictions where we do have patent rights, proceedings

to enforce such rights could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other

aspects of our business, could put our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly, and our

patent applications at risk of not issuing. Additionally, such proceedings could provoke third parties to

assert claims against us. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate and the damages or other

remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Thus, we may not be able to stop a

competitor from marketing and selling in foreign countries products that are the same as or similar to our

products, and our competitive position in the international market would be harmed.

***We may be involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents or other intellectual property, or***

***the patents of our licensors, which could be expensive, time consuming and unsuccessful.***

Competitors or other third parties may infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate our owned or licensed

patents, trade secrets or other intellectual property. To counter infringement or unauthorized use, we may

be compelled to file infringement or misappropriation claims, which can be expensive and time

consuming. We do not carry intellectual property insurance that would cover such claims. In certain

circumstances it may not be practicable or cost effective for us to enforce our intellectual property rights

fully, particularly in certain developing countries or where the initiation of a claim might harm our business

relationships. If we initiate legal proceedings against a third party to enforce a patent covering our

products, the defendant could counterclaim that our patent(s) are invalid and/or unenforceable. In patent

litigation in the United States, counterclaims alleging invalidity and/or unenforceability are common, and

there are numerous grounds upon which a third party can assert invalidity or unenforceability of a patent.

In an infringement proceeding, a court may decide that a patent we own or license is not valid, is

unenforceable or is not infringed, or may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue

on the grounds that our patents do not cover the technology in question. The outcome following legal

assertions of invalidity and unenforceability is unpredictable. With respect to the validity question, for

example, we cannot be certain that there is no invalidating prior art. If a defendant were to prevail on a

legal assertion of invalidity and/or unenforceability, we may lose some, and perhaps all, of the patent

protection covering our products. An adverse result in any litigation or defense proceeding could put one

or more of our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly, could put our patent

applications at risk of not issuing and could have a material adverse impact on our business.

Our defense of litigation may fail and, even if successful, may result in substantial costs and distract our

management and other employees. Even if we establish infringement, the court may decide not to grant

an injunction against further infringing activity and instead award only monetary damages, which may or

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

may not be an adequate remedy. For example, the amount of any monetary damages may be inadequate

to compensate us for damage as a result of the infringement and the proceedings. We may not be able to

prevent, alone or with our suppliers, misappropriation of intellectual property rights important to our

business, particularly in countries where the laws may not protect those rights as fully as in the United

States.

Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual

property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by

disclosure during this type of litigation. There could also be public announcements of the results of

hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors

perceive these results to be negative, it could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

Third-party defendants may challenge any patent we own or in-license through adversarial proceedings in

the issuing offices, which could result in the invalidation or unenforceability of some or all of the relevant

patent claims. If a third party asserts a substantial new question of patentability against any claim of a

U.S. patent we own or license, the USPTO may grant a request for reexamination, which may result in a

loss of scope of some claims or a loss of the entire patent. The adoption of the Leahy-Smith Act has

established additional opportunities for third parties to invalidate U.S. patent claims, including inter partes

review and post grant review, on the basis of lower legal standards than reexamination and additional

grounds. Outside of the United States, patents we own or license may become subject to patent

opposition or similar proceedings, which may result in loss of scope of some claims or loss of the entire

patent. Participation in adversarial proceedings is very complex, expensive and may divert our

management's attention from our core business and may result in unfavorable outcomes that could

adversely affect our ability to prevent third parties from competing with us.

***We may be subject to claims challenging the inventorship or ownership of our patents and other***

***intellectual property rights or alleging that we have violated the intellectual property rights or***

***other proprietary rights of third parties.***

Our commercial success depends, in part, upon our ability to develop, manufacture, market and sell our

products and use our proprietary technologies without infringing the proprietary rights and intellectual

property of third parties. The medical device industry is characterized by extensive and complex litigation

regarding patents and other intellectual property rights. We may be exposed to, or threatened with, future

litigation by third parties having patent or other intellectual property rights alleging that our products or

proprietary technologies infringe on their intellectual property rights. There is a risk that third parties may

choose to engage in litigation with us to enforce or to otherwise assert their patent rights against us. Even

if we believe such claims are without merit, a court of competent jurisdiction could hold that these third-

party patents are valid, enforceable and infringed, which could have a negative impact on our ability to

commercialize our products. This includes litigation, or threatened litigation, with non-practicing entities

that have no relevant product revenue and against whom our own patent portfolio may have no deterrent

effect. The legal threshold for initiating litigation or contested proceedings is low, so that even lawsuits or

proceedings with a low probability of success might be initiated and require significant resources to

defend.

We may also be subject to claims that former employees, collaborators or other third parties have an

ownership interest in our patent rights or other intellectual property, for example, based on conflicting

obligations of consultants or others who are involved in developing our products. Although it is our policy

to require our employees and contractors who may be involved in the conception or development of

intellectual property to execute agreements assigning such intellectual property to us, we may be

unsuccessful in executing such an agreement with each party who, in fact, conceives or develops

intellectual property that we regard as our own, and we cannot be certain that our agreements with such

parties will be upheld in the face of a potential challenge, or that they will not be breached, for which we

may not have an adequate remedy. The assignment of intellectual property rights may not be self-

executing or the assignment agreements may be breached, and litigation may be necessary to defend

against these and other claims challenging inventorship or ownership. If we fail in defending any such

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights, such

as exclusive ownership of, or right to use, valuable intellectual property. Such an outcome could have a

material adverse effect on our business. Even if we are successful in defending against such claims,

litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management and other employees.

We employ individuals who were previously employed at other medical technology companies. In

addition, we use publications that are subject to copyright, as well as proprietary information and

materials from third parties in our research. Some of the information and materials we use from third

parties may be subject to agreements that include restrictions on use or disclosure. Although we strive to

ensure proper safeguards, we cannot guarantee strict compliance with such agreements, nor can we be

sure that our employees, consultants and advisors do not use proprietary information, materials or know-

how of others in their work for us. In addition, we may be subject to claims that we or our employees,

consultants or independent contractors have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed alleged trade

secrets or other proprietary information of former employers or other third parties. Although we have

procedures in place that seek to prevent our employees and consultants from using the intellectual

property, proprietary information, know how or trade secrets of others in their work for us, we may in the

future be subject to claims that we caused an employee to breach the terms of his or her non-competition

or non-solicitation agreement, or that we or these individuals have, inadvertently or otherwise, used or

disclosed the alleged trade secrets or other proprietary information of a former employer or competitor.

We may also be subject to claims that former employers or other third parties have an ownership interest

in our future patents. In addition, we may be subject to claims that we are infringing other intellectual

property rights, such as trademarks or copyrights, and to the extent that our employees, consultants or

contractors use intellectual property or proprietary information owned by others in their work for us,

disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions. Litigation may be

necessary to defend against these claims. There is no guarantee of success in defending these claims,

and even if we are successful, litigation could result in substantial cost and be a distraction to our

management and other employees.

An unfavorable outcome for any such claim could require us to cease using the related technology or to

attempt to license rights to it from the prevailing party. Our business could be harmed if the prevailing

party does not offer us a license on commercially reasonable terms.

If a third party claims that we infringe its intellectual property rights, we may face a number of issues,

including:

• infringement and other intellectual property claims which, regardless of merit, may be expensive and

time consuming to litigate and may divert our management's attention from our core business;

• substantial damages for infringement, which we may have to pay if a court decides that the product at

issue infringes or violates the third party's rights, and if the court finds that the infringement was

willful, we could be ordered to pay treble damages and the patent owner's attorneys' fees;

• a court prohibiting us from selling or licensing the product unless the third-party licenses its product

rights to us, which it is not required to do;

• if a license is available from a third party, we may have to pay substantial royalties, upfront fees or

grant cross licenses to intellectual property rights for our products; and

• redesigning our products or processes so they do not infringe, which may not be possible or may

require substantial monetary expenditures and time.

In order to successfully challenge the validity of a U.S. patent in federal court, we would need to

overcome a presumption of validity. As this burden is a high one requiring us to present clear and

convincing evidence as to the invalidity of any such U.S. patent claim, there is no assurance that a court

of competent jurisdiction would invalidate the claims of any such U.S. patent. Foreign courts will have

similar burdens to overcome in order to successfully challenge a third-party claim of patent infringement.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more effectively

than we can because they have substantially greater resources. In addition, any uncertainties resulting

from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could have an adverse effect on our ability to raise

additional funds or on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

***The terms of our patents may not be sufficiently long to effectively protect our products and***

***business.***

Patents have a limited lifespan. In the United States, the natural expiration of a patent is generally 20

years after its first effective non-provisional filing date, but can be shorter due to terminal disclaimers or

similar term reductions in other jurisdictions. Although various extensions may be available, the term of a

patent, and the protection it affords, is limited. Even if patents covering our technologies or products are

obtained, once the patent term has expired, we may be open to competition. In addition, although upon

issuance in the United States, a patent's term can be increased based on certain delays caused by the

USPTO, this increase can be reduced or eliminated based on certain delays caused by the patent

applicant during patent prosecution. Given the amount of time required for the development, testing and

regulatory review of products, patents protecting such potential products might expire before or shortly

after such products are commercialized. If we do not have sufficient patent life to protect our technologies

and products, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will be adversely

affected.

***If we do not obtain additional protection under the Hatch-Waxman Amendments or similar foreign***

***legislation, our business may be materially affected.***

Depending upon the timing, duration and specifics of FDA marketing approval for our future products, one

or more of our U.S. patents may be eligible for limited patent term restoration under the Drug Price

Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (the "Hatch-Waxman Amendments"). The Hatch-

Waxman Amendments permit a patent term extension of up to five years beyond the normal expiration of

the patent as compensation for patent term lost during product development and the FDA regulatory

review process, which is limited to the approved indication (or any additional indications approved during

the period of extension). This extension is limited to one patent that covers the approved product, the

approved use of the product, or a method of manufacturing the product. A patent term extension cannot

extend the remaining term of a patent beyond a total of 14 years from the date of product approval, and

only those claims covering such approved product, a method for using it or a method for manufacturing it

may be extended. However, the applicable authorities, including the FDA and the USPTO in the United

States, and any equivalent regulatory authority in other countries or areas, may not agree with our

assessment of whether such extensions are available, and may refuse to grant extensions to our patents,

or may grant more limited extensions than we request. We may not be granted an extension because of,

for example, failing to apply within applicable deadlines, failing to apply prior to expiration of relevant

patents or otherwise failing to satisfy applicable requirements. Moreover, the applicable time period or

scope of patent protection afforded could be less than we request. If we are unable to obtain patent term

extension or restoration of the term of any such extension is less than we request, our competitors may

obtain approval for competing products following our patent expiration, and our ability to generate

revenues may be adversely affected.

***Open-source software licenses often impose unanticipated or unclear restrictions on us or could***

***expose us to litigation, and using open-source software has inherent risks, any of which could***

***impair our ability to successfully commercialize the Heartflow Platform.***

Our technology platform implements software modules licensed to us by third parties under "open source"

licenses. The terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. courts, and there is

a risk that these licenses could be construed in ways that could impose unanticipated conditions or

restrictions on our ability to commercialize our products. Moreover, we cannot be certain that our

processes for controlling our use of open-source software in connection with our products will be

effective. From time to time, we may face claims from third parties asserting ownership of, or demanding

release of, the open-source software or derivative works that we developed using such software (which

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

could include our proprietary source code), or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable

open source license. These claims could result in litigation. If we are held to have breached the terms of

an open source software license, we could be required to seek licenses from third parties to continue

offering our products on terms that are not economically feasible, to re-engineer our proprietary code, to

discontinue the sale of our products if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely or cost

effective basis, or to make generally available, in source code form, our proprietary code, any of which

could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The use of open-source software may entail greater risks than the use of third-party commercial software,

as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or other contractual protections regarding

infringement or the quality or ownership of the code. Many of these risks cannot be eliminated, and could,

if not properly addressed, negatively affect our business. We cannot be sure that all open source software

is submitted for approval prior to use in connection with our products.

In addition, some open-source licenses contain requirements that we make available source code for

modifications or derivative works we create based upon the type of open-source software we use. If we

combine our proprietary software with open-source software in a certain manner, we could, under certain

open-source licenses, be required to release portions of the source code of our proprietary software to the

public. This would allow our competitors to create similar products with less development effort and time

and ultimately could result in a loss of sales for us.

***Intellectual property rights do not necessarily address all potential threats to our competitive***

***advantage.***

The degree of future protection afforded by our intellectual property rights is uncertain because

intellectual property rights have limitations and may not adequately protect our business or permit us to

maintain our competitive advantage. The following examples are illustrative:

• others may be able to make products that are similar to or otherwise competitive with our potential

products but that are not covered by the claims of our current or future patents;

• an in-license necessary for the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale or importation of one or more of

our potential products may be terminated by the licensor;

• we or future collaborators might not have been the first to make the inventions covered by our issued

or future issued patents or our pending patent applications;

• we or future collaborators might not have been the first to file patent applications covering certain of

our inventions;

• others may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or duplicate any of our

technologies without infringing our intellectual property rights;

• it is possible that our pending patent applications will not lead to issued patents;

• issued patents that we own or in-license may be held invalid or unenforceable as a result of legal

challenges by our competitors;

• issued patents that we own or in-license may not provide coverage for all aspects of our new potential

products in all countries;

• our competitors might conduct research and development activities in countries where we do not

have patent rights and then use the information learned from such activities to develop competitive

products for sale in our major commercial markets;

• we may not develop additional proprietary technologies that are patentable; and

• the patents of others may have an adverse effect on our business.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Should any of these events occur, they could significantly harm our business, results of operations and

prospects.

**Risks related to financing and tax matters**

***We may require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be***

***available on terms favorable to us, or at all, and may dilute ownership of our common stock for***

***our stockholders, including purchasers of common stock in this offering.***

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require additional

funds to respond to business challenges and opportunities, including the need to develop new products,

enhance our existing products, enhance our operating infrastructure, potentially expand internationally

and potentially acquire complementary businesses and technologies. In order to achieve these objectives,

we may make future commitments of capital resources. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or

debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity

or convertible debt securities, our stockholders, including any purchasers of common stock in this

offering, could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights,

preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. In addition, our ability to

incur indebtedness is subject to limitations under the 2024 Credit Agreement and, if incurred, would

increase our fixed obligations and could include covenants or other restrictions that would impede our

ability to manage our operations. Further, if additional financing is needed, we may not be able to obtain

additional financing on terms favorable to us or at all. Our inability to obtain adequate financing or

financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, could significantly limit our ability to continue

supporting our business growth and responding to business challenges and opportunities.

***Our operating results may fluctuate significantly, which makes our future operating results***

***difficult to predict and could cause our operating results to fall below expectations or any***

***guidance we may provide.***

Our quarterly revenue and results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to, among

others, the following reasons:

• the level of physicians' acceptance and adoption of our products, and changes in the rates at which

physicians order our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis or the percentage of CCTA scans for which our

Heartflow FFRCT Analysis is ordered;

• determinations, including the timing of determinations, by payors concerning coverage and

reimbursement of our products;

• changes in coverage amounts or government and payors' reimbursement policies;

• the timing, expense and results of research and development activities, clinical trials and any

additional regulatory approvals;

• changes in AHA or ACC guidelines, or guidelines in other countries, that lower support for our

products or elevate alternative products as the preferred pathway for diagnosis and management of

CAD;

• fluctuations in our expenses associated with expanding our commercial operations and operating as

a public company;

• patients meeting their annual health insurance deductible later in the calendar year;

• the introduction of new products and technologies by our competitors;

• changes in our pricing policies or in the pricing policies of our competitors;

• the productivity of our sales and marketing teams, and their ability to identify physicians who

consistently refer appropriate patients for CCTAs in accordance with AHA and ACC guidelines;

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

• quality problems with our products or the Heartflow Platform; and

• the impact of catastrophic events such as a pandemic.

Because of these and other factors, it is likely that in some future period our operating results will not

meet investor expectations or those of public market analysts. Any unanticipated change in revenue or

operating results is likely to cause our stock price to fluctuate. New information may cause investors and

analysts to revalue our business, which could cause a decline in our stock price.

***Our credit agreement contains certain restrictions that may limit our ability to operate our***

***business. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, the terms of any new debt could***

***further restrict our ability to operate our business.***

The terms of the 2024 Credit Agreement and related collateral documents contain, and any future debt

agreements would likely contain, a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and

financial restrictions on us, including restrictions on our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to take

actions that may be in our best interests, including, among others, disposing of assets, entering into

change of control transactions, mergers or acquisitions, incurring additional indebtedness, granting liens

on our assets and declaring and paying dividends. Our ability to meet covenants can be affected by

events beyond our control, and we may not be able to continue to meet such covenants. We have in the

past, and may in the future, breach our covenants under the 2024 Credit Agreement. In March 2023, we

entered into an agreement with Hayfin to temporarily waive certain covenant requirements that had not

been met pursuant to our prior credit agreement with Hayfin. In the future, a breach of the covenants or

the occurrence of other events (including, among others, a material adverse effect or the inability to

generate cash to service our obligations under our debt agreements) specified in the 2024 Credit

Agreement and/or the related collateral documents or a future debt agreement could result in an event of

default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, our lenders could elect to declare all obligations

owing under the debt documents, if any, to be immediately due and payable, terminate all commitments to

extend further credit and/or proceed against the collateral, if any, pledged to them to secure such

indebtedness. For example, we have pledged substantially all of our assets, including, among others, our

intellectual property, all of Heartflow's ownership interests in Heartflow, Inc. and our foreign subsidiaries

as collateral under the 2024 Credit Agreement and related collateral documents. For additional

information on the 2024 Credit Agreement, see the section titled "Management's discussion and analysis

of financial condition and results of operations—Liquidity and capital resources—Hayfin credit

agreement." If lenders accelerate the repayment of borrowings, if any, we may not have sufficient funds to

repay our existing debt and the lenders could seize collateral that was pledged as guarantee for the loan,

which would harm our business and financial condition.

Amounts borrowed under the 2024 Credit Agreement can be repaid at any time, subject to applicable

prepayment fees, prior to the June 14, 2028 maturity date, at which time all obligations owing under the

debt documents will be due and payable. The 2024 Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and

negative covenants, indemnification provisions and events of default. The affirmative covenants include,

among others, covenants requiring us to deliver certain financial reports and to maintain our legal

existence, regulatory authorizations and certain intellectual property rights. The negative covenants

include, among others, restrictions on changing our business activities, incurring additional indebtedness

and creating liens on our assets, requirements to maintain certain levels of liquidity and minimum net

sales, restrictions on making investments, paying dividends, issuing securities, engaging in mergers or

acquisitions, licensing our assets or making other distributions, in each case subject to customary

exceptions. If we default under the 2024 Credit Agreement, Hayfin will be able to declare all obligations

immediately due and payable and take control of our pledged assets, which may require us to renegotiate

our agreement on terms less favorable to us or to immediately cease operations. Any event of default by

us could significantly harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and

could cause the price of our common shares to decline. Further, if we are liquidated, Hayfin's right to

repayment would be senior to the rights of the holders of our common shares to receive any proceeds

from the liquidation.

In connection with the completion of this offering, we are obligated to repay indebtedness outstanding

under the 2024 Credit Agreement in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) net cash proceeds in excess of

$150.0 million and (ii) $50.0 million (or $55.0 million if the underwriters exercise any portion of their option

to purchase additional shares). While we currently anticipate paying off $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;million of outstanding

indebtedness under the 2024 Credit Agreement immediately following the completion of this offering, a

portion of the indebtedness under the 2024 Credit Agreement will remain outstanding and we will be

subject to the ongoing requirements of the 2024 Credit Agreement and related collateral documents.

***We are subject to risks associated with currency fluctuations, and changes in foreign currency***

***exchange rates could impact our results of operations.***

All of our revenue and the majority of our expense and capital purchasing activities through the year

ended December 31, 2024 and the three months ended March 31, 2025 were transacted in U.S. dollars.

Approximately 11% of our 2023 revenue, approximately 9% of our 2024 revenue and approximately 8% of

our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was generated from customers outside the

United States. However, because a portion of our operations consists of business activities outside of the

United States, we have foreign currency operating expenses as well as asset and liability balances.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we were exposed to foreign currency risks in connection with

our non-U.S. operations, and we anticipate that, over time, an increasing portion of our international

agreements may provide for payment denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in the exchange rates

between such foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar could therefore materially impact our reported results

of operations and distort period-to-period comparisons. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates

also impact the reporting of our receivables and payables in non-U.S. currencies. As a result of such

foreign currency fluctuations, it could be more difficult to detect underlying trends in our business and

results of operations. In addition, to the extent that fluctuations in currency exchange rates cause our

results of operations to differ from our expectations or the expectations of our investors, the trading price

of our common stock could be adversely affected.

We do not currently engage in currency hedging activities to limit the risk of exchange rate fluctuations. In

the future, we may engage in exchange rate hedging activities in an effort to mitigate the impact of

exchange rate fluctuations but we may not be successful in doing so. If our hedging activities are not

effective, changes in currency exchange rates may have a more significant impact on our results of

operations.

***Our ability to use our net operating losses and tax credits to offset future taxable income and***

***taxes may be subject to certain limitations.***

As of December 31, 2024, we had net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards of approximately $542.9

million and $435.5 million for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively, which may be utilized

against future federal and state income taxes. Federal NOL carryforwards we generated in tax years

through December 31, 2017 generally may be carried forward for 20 years and may fully offset taxable

income in the year utilized, and federal NOLs we generated in tax years beginning after December 31,

2017 generally may be carried forward indefinitely but may only be used to offset 80% of our taxable

income annually for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.

In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), a

corporation that undergoes an "ownership change" is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-

change NOLs, carryforwards and other tax attributes, such as research and development tax credits, to

offset future taxable income and taxes. In general, an ownership change occurs if the aggregate stock

ownership of certain stockholders, generally stockholders beneficially owning five percent or more of our

common stock, applying certain look through and aggregation rules, increases by more than 50% over

such stockholders' lowest percentage ownership during the testing period, generally three years.

Purchases of our common stock in amounts greater than specified levels, which will be beyond our

control, could create a limitation on our ability to utilize our NOLs for tax purposes in the future. We are

currently completing a Section 382 study of our historic ownership changes through December 31, 2024

to determine whether the use of our NOLs is impaired. We may have previously undergone an "ownership

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

change." In addition, this offering or future issuances or sales of our stock, including certain transactions

involving our stock that are outside of our control, could result in future "ownership changes." "Ownership

changes" that have occurred in the past or that may occur in the future, including in connection with this

offering, could result in the imposition of an annual limit on the amount of pre-ownership change NOLs

and other tax attributes we can use to reduce our taxable income, potentially increasing and accelerating

our liability for income taxes, and also potentially causing those tax attributes to expire unused.

If we are limited in our ability to use our NOLs and tax credits in future years in which we have taxable

income, we will pay more taxes than if we were able to fully utilize our NOLs and tax credits, and we could

be required to pay taxes earlier than we would otherwise be required, which could cause such NOLs to

expire unused. This could adversely affect our results of operations. Furthermore, we may not be able to

generate sufficient taxable income to utilize our pre-2018 NOLs before they expire beginning in 2030. If

any of these events occur, we may not derive some or all of the expected benefits from our NOLs, and

our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected as a

result.

***Our international operations subject us to potentially adverse tax consequences.***

We currently report our taxable income in various jurisdictions based upon our business operations in

those jurisdictions, including in the United States, United Kingdom, and Japan. We may in the future be

subject to reporting requirements in other foreign jurisdictions. The international nature and organization

of our business activities are subject to complex transfer pricing regulations administered by taxing

authorities in various jurisdictions. The relevant taxing authorities may disagree with our determinations

as to the income and expenses attributable to specific jurisdictions. If such a disagreement were to occur,

and our position were not sustained, we could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties,

which could result in one time tax charges, higher effective tax rates, reduced cash flows and lower

overall profitability of our operations. We believe that our consolidated financial statements reflect

adequate reserves to cover such a contingency, but there can be no assurances in that regard.

***Our effective tax rate may vary significantly from period to period.***

Various internal and external factors may have favorable or unfavorable effects on our future effective tax

rate. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in tax laws, regulations or rates, both within

and outside the United States, structural changes in our business, new accounting pronouncements or

changes to existing accounting pronouncements, non-deductible goodwill impairments, changing

interpretations of existing tax laws or regulations, changes in the relative proportions of revenue and

income before taxes in the various jurisdictions in which we operate that have different statutory tax rates,

the future levels of tax benefits of equity-based compensation, changes in overall levels of pretax

earnings or changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. Additionally, we could be

challenged by state and local tax authorities as to the propriety of our sales tax compliance, and our

results could be materially impacted by these compliance determinations.

In addition, our effective tax rate may vary significantly depending on the market price of our common

stock. The tax effects of the accounting for share-based compensation may significantly impact our

effective tax rate from period to period. In periods in which the market price of our common stock is higher

than the grant price of the share-based compensation vesting in that period, we will recognize excess tax

benefits that will decrease our effective tax rate. In future periods in which our stock price is lower than

the grant price of the share-based compensation vesting in that period, our effective tax rate may

increase. The amount and value of share-based compensation issued relative to our earnings in a

particular period will also affect the magnitude of the impact of share-based compensation on our effective

tax rate. These tax effects are dependent on the market price of our common stock, which we do not

control, and a decline in our stock price could significantly increase our effective tax rate and adversely

affect our financial condition.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

***Taxing authorities may successfully assert that we should have collected or in the future should***

***collect sales and use, value added or similar taxes, and we could be subject to tax liabilities with***

***respect to past or future sales, which could adversely affect our results of operations.***

We do not collect sales and use, value added and similar taxes in all jurisdictions in which we have sales,

based on our belief that such taxes are not applicable or that we are not required to collect such taxes

with respect to the jurisdiction. Sales and use, value added and similar tax laws and rates vary greatly by

jurisdiction. Certain jurisdictions in which we do not collect such taxes may assert that such taxes are

applicable, which could result in tax assessments, penalties and interest, and we may be required to

collect such taxes in the future. Such tax assessments, penalties and interest or future requirements may

adversely affect our results of operations.

**Risks related to our common stock and this offering**

***There may not be an active trading market for our common stock, which may cause shares of our***

***common stock to trade at a discount from the initial public offering price and make it difficult to***

***sell the shares of common stock you purchase.***

Prior to this offering, there was no public market for our common stock. It is possible that after this

offering, an active trading market will not develop or, if developed, that any market will not be sustained,

which would make it difficult for you to sell your shares of common stock at an attractive price or at all.

The initial public offering price per share of common stock was determined by agreement among us and

the representatives of the underwriters and may not be indicative of the price at which shares of our

common stock will trade in the public market, if any, after this offering. The market value of our common

stock may decrease from the initial public offering price. It is possible that in one or more future periods

our results of operations may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors, and, as

a result of these and other factors, the price of our common stock may fall. Furthermore, an inactive

market may also impair our ability to raise capital in the future by selling shares of our common stock.

***The market price of our common stock may be volatile, which could cause the value of your***

***investment to decline and could result in substantial losses for investors purchasing shares in***

***this offering.***

This initial public offering price may vary from the market price of our common stock after the offering. The

market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations.

Securities markets worldwide experience significant price and volume fluctuations. This market volatility,

as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could reduce the market price of our common

stock regardless of our operating performance. These fluctuations may be even more pronounced in the

trading market for our stock shortly following this offering. You may be unable to resell your shares of

common stock at or above the initial public offering price or at all.

***We are an emerging growth company, and the reduced reporting requirements applicable to***

***emerging growth companies could make our common stock less attractive to investors.***

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act. We will remain an "emerging growth

company" until the earliest to occur of:

• the last day of the fiscal year during which our total annual revenue equals or exceeds $1.235 billion

(subject to adjustment for inflation);

• the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering;

• the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-

convertible debt; or

• the date on which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" under the Exchange Act.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

As a result of our "emerging growth company" status, we may take advantage of exemptions from various

reporting requirements that would otherwise be applicable to public companies including, but not limited

to, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy

statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive

compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Investors may find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some

investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for

our common stock and the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected and more

volatile.

***We will incur increased costs and become subject to additional regulations and requirements as a***

***result of becoming a public company, which could lower our profits or make it more difficult to***

***run our business.***

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we have not

incurred as a private company, including costs associated with public company reporting requirements.

We have also incurred and will continue to incur costs associated with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and

related rules implemented by the SEC and the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

The expenses generally incurred by public companies for reporting and corporate governance purposes

have been increasing. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial

compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly, although we are currently

unable to estimate these costs with any degree of certainty. These laws and regulations also could make

it more difficult or costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability

insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially

higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. These laws and regulations could also make it more

difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, on our board

committees or as our executive officers. Furthermore, if we are unable to satisfy our obligations as a

public company, we could be subject to delisting of our common stock, fines, sanctions, other regulatory

action and potentially civil litigation.

***If we are unable to design, implement and maintain effective internal control over financial***

***reporting in the future, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our***

***financial reports and the market price of our common stock may decline.***

As a public company, we will be required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to report

any material weaknesses in such internal controls. In addition, beginning with our second annual report

on Form 10-K, we will be required to furnish a report by management on the effectiveness of our internal

control over financial reporting, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding compliance

with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The process of designing, implementing and testing the

internal control over financial reporting required to comply with this obligation is time consuming, costly

and complicated. We have in the past and may in the future identify control deficiencies, including

material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. In connection with the preparation of

our consolidated financial statements, material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting

were identified as of and prior to December 31, 2023, which were remediated in connection with the

preparation of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Any failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could severely inhibit our ability to

accurately report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Further, if we identify one or

more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, if we are unable to comply with

the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in a timely manner or if we and, if required,

our auditors, are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, investors

may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of

our common stock could decline, and we could also become subject to investigations by the stock

exchange on which our common stock is listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could

require additional financial and management resources. Failure to remedy any material weakness in our

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems

required of public companies, could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.

***Our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud.***

Upon effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we will become

subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and

procedures are designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports

we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management and

recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of

the SEC. We believe that our disclosure controls and procedures as well as internal control over financial

reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,

assurance that the objectives of the control system are and will be met. These inherent limitations include

the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of

simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons,

by collusion of two or more people or by an unauthorized override of the controls. Accordingly, because of

the inherent limitations in our control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be

detected.

***If our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies are based on***

***assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, our operating results could fall below our***

***publicly announced guidance or the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in***

***a decline in the market price of our common stock.***

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the United States generally accepted

accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the

reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates

on historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the

circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of

assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these

estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material. If our

assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from our assumptions, our operating results may be

adversely affected and could fall below our publicly announced guidance or the expectations of analysts

and investors, resulting in a decline in the market price of our common stock.

***Our principal stockholders and management own a significant percentage of our stock and will be***

***able to exert significant control over matters subject to stockholder approval.***

Prior to this offering, as of March 31, 2025, our executive officers, directors, owners of more than 5% of

our capital stock and their respective affiliates beneficially owned approximately&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; % of our

outstanding shares and, upon the completion of this offering, that same group will beneficially own

approximately&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; % of our outstanding shares (assuming no exercise of the underwriters' option to

purchase additional shares). Therefore, even after this offering, these stockholders will have the ability to

influence us through this ownership position. These stockholders may be able to determine all matters

requiring stockholder approval. For example, these stockholders may be able to control elections of

directors, amendments of our organizational documents, or approval of any merger, sale of assets or

other major corporate transaction. This may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or

offers for our common stock that you may feel are in your best interest as one of our stockholders.

***A significant portion of our total outstanding shares is restricted from immediate resale but may***

***be sold into the market in the near future, and any sales of a substantial number of shares of our***

***common stock in the public market could cause our stock price to decline significantly, even if***

***our business is doing well.***

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any

time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

common stock intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock. If our existing

stockholders sell, or indicate an intention to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public

market after the lock-up agreements, market standoff and other legal restrictions on resale discussed in

this prospectus, including as described under the section titled "Shares eligible for future sale—Lock-up

agreements," lapse, the trading price of our common stock could decline. Based upon the number of

shares outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and assuming (i) the Preferred Stock Conversion, (ii) the

Convertible Notes Conversion, (iii) no exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares of

our common stock, and (iv) no exercise of outstanding options or warrants, upon the completion of this

offering, we will have outstanding a total of &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shares of common stock. Of these shares, all of the

shares of our common stock sold in this offering, plus any shares sold upon exercise of the underwriters'

option to purchase additional shares, if any, will be freely tradable, without restriction, in the public market

immediately following this offering, other than shares purchased by our "affiliates" (as such term is defined

in Rule 144 under the Securities Act). See the section titled "Shares eligible for future sale" in this

prospectus for restrictions applicable to our affiliates.

We and each of our directors, our executive officers and substantially all of our other securityholders have

entered or will enter into lock-up agreements with the underwriters prior to the completion of this offering,

which are described, including certain exceptions to such agreements, in the section titled "Underwriting".

After the expiration of the lock-up agreements, as of March 31, 2025, up to approximately&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; million

additional shares of common stock will be eligible for sale in the public market, approximately&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% of

which shares are owned by directors, executive officers and other owners of more than 5% of our

outstanding common stock, stock options, warrants and securities convertible into our common stock and

will be subject to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

Furthermore, an additional approximately&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% of our outstanding common stock, stock options,

warrants and other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock are

subject to market standoff restrictions with us that include restrictions on the sale, transfer or other

disposition of shares, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, for a period of 180 days

commencing on the date of this prospectus. As a result of the foregoing, substantially all of our

outstanding common stock, stock options, warrants and other securities convertible into or exercisable or

exchangeable for our common stock are subject to a lock-up agreement or market standoff provisions for

a period of 180 days commencing on the date of this prospectus. See the section titled "Shares eligible

for future sale" for additional information.

After this offering, based upon the number of shares outstanding as of March 31, 2025, the holders of

approximately&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; million shares of our common stock, or approximately&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% of our total outstanding

common stock, will be entitled to rights with respect to the registration of their shares under the Securities

Act, subject to the lock-up agreements and market standoff restrictions described above. Registration of

these shares under the Securities Act would result in the shares becoming freely tradable without

restriction under the Securities Act, except for shares purchased by affiliates. Any sales of securities by

these stockholders or any perception that these shares may be sold could have a material adverse effect

on the trading price of our common stock. In addition, a security holder who is not subject to market

standoff restrictions with us nor a lock-up agreement with the underwriters may be able to sell, short sell,

transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of their equity interests at any time.

***Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that the Court of Chancery of***

***the State of Delaware (or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, Delaware federal district court)***

***will be the exclusive forum for certain disputes between us and our stockholders, which could***

***limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our***

***directors, officers or employees.***

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that, unless we consent in writing to the

selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the

Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) is the

exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, any action asserting a

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, employees or

stockholders to us or to our stockholders, any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the

Delaware General Corporation Law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or our

amended and restated bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time) or as to which the Delaware

General Corporation Law confers jurisdiction on the Delaware Court of Chancery, or any action asserting

a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware. Our amended

and restated certificate of incorporation will also provide that the federal district courts of the United States

will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under

the Securities Act. Further, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that the

foregoing choice of forum provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created

by the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive

jurisdiction.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will also provide that any person or entity

purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any of our securities shall be deemed to have

notice of and consented to the foregoing provisions of the amended and restated certificate of

incorporation. Although our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will contain the choice of

forum provision described above, it is possible that a court could find that such a provision is inapplicable

for a particular claim or action or that such provision is unenforceable.

We believe these provisions may benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of

Delaware law and federal securities laws by chancellors and judges, as applicable, particularly

experienced in resolving corporate disputes, efficient administration of cases on a more expedited

schedule relative to other forums, and protection against the burdens of multi-forum litigation. However,

this choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it

finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers, other employees or stockholders,

which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims, although our stockholders will not be deemed

to have waived our compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Furthermore, the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies' certificates of

incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these

types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. While the Delaware courts have determined that

such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in

a venue other than those designated in the exclusive forum provisions, and there can be no assurance

that such provisions will be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions. If a court were to find the

choice of forum provision that will be contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to

be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving

such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of

operations and prospects.

**General risk factors**

***We will have broad discretion in the use of net proceeds to us from this offering and may not use***

***them effectively.***

In connection with the completion of this offering, we are obligated to use certain of the net proceeds from

this offering to repay approximately $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; million of the indebtedness outstanding under the 2024

Credit Agreement and to pay approximately $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; million of fees in connection therewith. We expect to

use the remainder to fund our sales and marketing efforts, fund research and product development

activities and for other general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses, and

capital expenditures. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to acquire

complementary businesses, products, services, or technologies. See the section titled "Use of proceeds"

for additional information. We periodically evaluate strategic opportunities; however, we have no current

understandings or commitments to enter into any such acquisitions or make any such investments. The

expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our present plans

and business conditions. We cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the proceeds of this

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

offering or the amounts that we will actually spend on the uses set forth above. Accordingly, our

management will have broad discretion in applying the net proceeds of this offering, including for any of

the purposes described in the section titled "Use of proceeds," and you will not have the opportunity as

part of your investment decision to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. The

timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including cash flows from

operations and the anticipated growth of our business. Pending their use, we intend to invest the net

proceeds of this offering in a variety of capital-preservation investments, including government securities

and money market funds.

If we do not use the net proceeds that we receive in this offering effectively, our business, financial

condition, results of operations and prospects could be harmed, and the market price of our common

stock could decline. Pending their use, we intend to invest the net proceeds of this offering in a variety of

capital-preservation investments, including government securities and money market funds. These

investments may not yield a favorable return to our investors.

***Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution.***

The initial public offering price of our common stock is substantially higher than the pro forma as adjusted

net tangible book value per share of our common stock. Therefore, if you purchase shares of our common

stock in this offering, you will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds our pro forma as adjusted

net tangible book value per share after this offering. Based on the initial public offering price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;per

share, you will experience immediate dilution of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share, representing the difference between

our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering and the

initial public offering price. In addition, purchasers of common stock in this offering will have

contributed&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% of the aggregate price paid by all purchasers of our common stock but will own only

approximately&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% of our total equity outstanding after this offering. Furthermore, you will experience

additional dilution if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares, outstanding

options and warrants are exercised, upon the vesting of outstanding restricted stock awards or when we

otherwise issue additional shares of common stock. For a further description of the dilution that you will

experience immediately after this offering, see the section titled "Dilution" included elsewhere in this

prospectus.

***We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, your ability to achieve a***

***return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the market price of our common stock.***

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all

available funds and any future earnings, if any, to fund the development and expansion of our business,

and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determinations

regarding the declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of

directors, subject to applicable law, and will depend upon then-existing conditions, including our financial

condition, results of operations, contractual restrictions, general business conditions, capital

requirements, and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay

cash dividends is currently restricted by the terms of the 2024 Credit Agreement. Our ability to pay cash

dividends on our capital stock in the future may also be limited by the terms of any preferred securities we

may issue or agreements governing any additional indebtedness we may incur.

***If our operating and financial performance in any given period does not meet any guidance that***

***we provide to the public, the market price of our common stock may decline.***

We may, but are not obligated to, provide public guidance on our expected operating and financial results

for future periods. Any such guidance will be comprised of forward-looking statements subject to the risks

and uncertainties described in this prospectus, including in the section titled "Risk factors," and in our

future public filings and public statements. Our actual results may not always be in line with or exceed any

guidance we have provided, especially in times of economic uncertainty. If actual circumstances differ

from those in our assumptions, our operating and financial results could fall below our publicly announced

guidance or the expectations of investors. If, in the future, our operating or financial results for a particular

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

period do not meet any guidance we provide or the expectations of investment analysts or investors

generally, or if we reduce our guidance for future periods, the market price of our common stock may

decline. Even if we do issue public guidance, there can be no assurance that we will continue to do so in

the future.

***If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they***

***issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding our stock, our stock price and trading volume***

***could decline.***

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or

securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not currently have and may never obtain

research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no or few securities or industry analysts

commence coverage of us, the market price for our stock would be negatively impacted. In the event we

obtain securities or industry analyst coverage, if any of the analysts who cover us downgrade their

evaluations of our stock or issue an adverse opinion regarding us, our business model, our intellectual

property or our stock performance, or if our results of operations fail to meet the expectations of analysts,

our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to

publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause

our stock price or trading volume to decline.

***We may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management***

***attention.***

In the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a company's

securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. Because of

the potential volatility of our stock price, we may become the target of securities litigation in the future.

These events may also result in or be concurrent with investigations by the SEC. We may be exposed to

such litigation or investigation even if no wrongdoing occurred. Such litigation, if instituted against us,

could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management's attention and resources, which

could seriously harm our business.

***Provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could discourage a takeover that***

***stockholders may consider favorable and may lead to entrenchment of management.***

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, to be in effect upon the completion of this offering,

and our amended and restated bylaws, to be in effect upon the effectiveness of the amended and

restated certificate of incorporation, will contain provisions that could delay or prevent changes in control

or changes in our management without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions will

include the following:

• a classified board of directors with three-year staggered terms, which may delay the ability of

stockholders to change the membership of a majority of our board of directors;

• our directors may be removed by our stockholders only for cause;

• no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to

elect director candidates;

• the exclusive right of our board of directors to change the size of the board of directors and to elect a

able to change the board's size or fill new directorships and vacancies on our board of directors;

• the ability of our board of directors to authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock and to

determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without

stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquiror or

adopt a stockholder rights plan;

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

• the ability of our board of directors to alter our amended and restated bylaws without obtaining

stockholder approval;

• the required approval of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all

then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors to

remove directors or to adopt, amend, alter or repeal our amended and restated bylaws and certain

provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation;

• a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at

an annual or special meeting of our stockholders;

• the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by our secretary at the

request of our board of directors, the chairman of our board of directors, or our chief executive officer,

which may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action,

including the removal of directors; and

• advance notice procedures that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to our

board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders' meeting, which may

discourage or deter a potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquiror's

own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.

We are also subject to the anti-takeover provisions contained in Section 203 of the Delaware General

Corporation Law ("Section 203"). Under Section 203, a corporation may not, in general, engage in a

business combination (as defined in Section 203) with any interested stockholder (generally defined by

Section 203 to include holders of 15% or more of our capital stock) unless the interested stockholder has

held the stock for three years or, among other exceptions and exclusions, the board of directors has

approved the business combination transaction or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder

becoming an interested stockholder. For a description of our capital stock, see the section titled

"Description of capital stock."

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the

forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus primarily on our current expectations, estimates,

forecasts, and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business,

financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. Although we believe that we have a reasonable

basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this prospectus, we cannot guarantee that the

future results, levels of activity, performance, or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking

statements will be achieved or occur at all. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking

statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in the section titled "Risk factors"

and elsewhere in this prospectus. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing

environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict

all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this

prospectus. The results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not

be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those

described in the forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements made in this prospectus relate only to events as of the date on which the

statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this

prospectus to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus or to reflect new

information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually

achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should

not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not

reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, or investments

we may make.

In addition, statements that "we believe" and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the

relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this

prospectus, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such

information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have

statements are inherently uncertain, and you are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.

You should read this prospectus and the documents that we reference in this prospectus and have filed

as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, completely and with the

understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify

all of the forward-looking statements in this prospectus by these cautionary statements.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**Use of proceeds**

We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;million (or

approximately $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;million if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase up

to&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; additional shares of common stock), based on the assumed initial public offering price of

$&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this

prospectus, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering

expenses payable by us.

Each $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;per share of our

common stock, which is the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this

prospectus, would increase or decrease, as applicable, the net proceeds to us from this offering by

approximately $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;million, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover

page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and

commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, each increase or decrease of 1.0

million shares in the number of shares of common stock offered by us would increase or decrease, as

applicable, the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;million, assuming the

assumed initial public offering price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;per share of our common stock, which is the midpoint of

the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after

deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable

by us.

In connection with the completion of this offering, we are obligated to use certain of the net proceeds from

this offering to repay $50.0 million (or $55.0 million if the underwriters exercise any portion of their option

to purchase additional shares of common stock) of the indebtedness outstanding under the 2024 Credit

Agreement and to pay approximately $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;million of fees in connection therewith. In connection with

the issuance of the 2025 Convertible Notes in January 2025, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the

2024 Credit Agreement, pursuant to which entities affiliated with Hayfin converted $23.0 million of

outstanding indebtedness under the 2024 Credit Agreement in connection with the 2024 Term Loan

Conversion and became holders of 5% or more of our capital stock as of March 31, 2025. The 2024

Credit Agreement bears interest equal to the sum of (i) 7.0% (or 6.0% if the alternative base rate is in

effect) plus (ii) the greater of (x) the forward-looking term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing

Rate ("SOFR") for a respective tenor (or the alternative base rate, if applicable), and (y) 2.0%. The

alternative base rate equals to the sum of (i) 6.0% plus (ii) the greater of (1) the Wall Street Journal Prime

Rate, plus 0.5%, (2) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York rate plus 0.5% or (3) CBA Term SOFR for

one month tenor plus 1.0%. The 2024 Credit Agreement matures on June 14, 2028. Borrowings under the

2024 Credit Agreement were used to refinance outstanding indebtedness.

We expect to use the remainder of the net proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash and

cash equivalents, to fund our sales and marketing efforts, fund research and product development

activities and for other general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses, and

capital expenditures. With respect to funding research and product development activities, we plan to

deploy net proceeds from this offering into three main areas of research and development: (i) new

products to drive greater efficiency and reduce manual involvement by the imaging physician, including

software tools that reduce imager time spent reading and reporting on CCTA images; (ii) new features

that enhance the clinical utility and ease of use of our existing products, including a more intuitive and

simplified user interface; and (iii) new clinical evidence to support expanded indications of our Heartflow

Platform into high risk asymptomatic patients and longer term, lower risk asymptomatic patients.

We may also use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to acquire complementary businesses,

products, services, or technologies. We periodically evaluate strategic opportunities; however, we have no

current understandings or commitments to enter into any such acquisitions or make any such

investments.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Based on our current operating plan, we estimate that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of the

date of this prospectus, together with the estimated net proceeds from this offering, will be sufficient to

fund our planned operations through&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; . We have based this estimate on our current

assumptions, which may prove to be wrong, and we may exhaust our available capital resources sooner

than we expect. The expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based

upon our present plans and business conditions. We cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses

for the proceeds of this offering or the amounts that we will actually spend on the uses set forth above.

Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in applying the net proceeds of this offering, and

investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of these net

proceeds. The timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including

cash flows from operations and the anticipated growth of our business. Pending their use, we intend to

invest the net proceeds of this offering in a variety of capital-preservation investments, including

government securities and money market funds.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**Dividend policy**

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all

available funds and any future earnings, if any, to fund the development and expansion of our business,

and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determinations

regarding the declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of

directors, subject to applicable law, and will depend upon then-existing conditions, including our financial

condition, results of operations, contractual restrictions, general business conditions, capital

requirements, and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay

cash dividends is currently restricted by the terms of our 2024 Credit Agreement. Our ability to pay cash

dividends on our capital stock in the future may also be limited by the terms of any preferred securities we

may issue or agreements governing any additional indebtedness we may incur.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**Capitalization**

The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and our capitalization, as of March 31, 2025:

• on an actual basis;

• on a pro forma basis, giving effect to (i) the Preferred Stock Conversion, which will occur immediately

prior to the completion of this offering, (ii) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares issuable in connection with the Convertible

Notes Conversion at the assumed initial public offering price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share, which is the

midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and the resultant

reclassification of our derivative liability to additional paid-in capital, a component of stockholders'

equity (deficit), which will occur upon the completion of this offering, as if each had occurred as of

March 31, 2025, and (iii) the adoption, filing, and effectiveness of our amended and restated

certificate of incorporation, to be in effect upon the completion of this offering; and

• on a pro forma as adjusted basis, giving effect to (i) the pro forma adjustments discussed above, (ii)

the issuance and sale of&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of common stock in this offering at the assumed initial public

offering price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the

cover page of this prospectus, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and

estimated offering expenses payable by us, and (iii) the assumed repayment of $50.0 million of the

indebtedness outstanding under the 2024 Credit Agreement and payment of approximately

$&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;million of fees in connection therewith.

You should read this table together with the sections titled "Summary consolidated financial data,"

"Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations" and our

consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. The pro

forma as adjusted information below is illustrative only and our capitalization following the completion of

this offering will depend on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering

determined at pricing.

(1)Each $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share of our common stock, which is the

midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase or decrease, as applicable, each of

our pro forma as adjusted cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in-capital, total stockholders' equity (deficit), and total

capitalization by approximately $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; million, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this

prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering

expenses payable by us. Similarly, each increase or decrease of 1.0 million shares in the number of shares of common stock offered by

us would increase or decrease, as applicable, each of our pro forma as adjusted cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in-capital,

total stockholders' equity (deficit), and total capitalization by approximately $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; million, assuming the assumed initial public offering

price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share of our common stock remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and

commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase up to&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; additional shares of common

stock, pro forma as adjusted cash and cash equivalents, 2024 Term Loan, additional paid-in capital, total

stockholders' equity (deficit), total capitalization, and shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31,

2025 would be $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; , $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; , $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; , $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; , $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; , and&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares, respectively.

The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding after this offering, pro forma and pro forma

as adjusted, in the table above is based on&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of our common stock outstanding as of

March 31, 2025, after giving effect to (i) the Preferred Stock Conversion, which will occur immediately

prior to the completion of this offering, (ii) the Convertible Notes Conversion, which will occur upon the

completion of this offering, and (iii) the adoption, filing, and effectiveness of our amended and restated

certificate of incorporation, to be in effect upon the completion of this offering, as if each had occurred as

of March 31, 2025, and excludes:

• 25,066,625 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options as

of March 31, 2025 under our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, with a weighted-average exercise price of

$1.71 per share;

• 621,827 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options granted

subsequent to March 31, 2025 under our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, with a weighted-average

exercise price of $4.67 per share;

**Dilution**

If you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be immediately

and substantially diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per share of

our common stock and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock

immediately after this offering.

As of March 31, 2025, our historical net tangible book value (deficit) was $(939.9) million, or $(51.47) per

share of our common stock. Our historical net tangible book value (deficit) is the amount of our total

tangible assets less our total liabilities and the carrying values of our redeemable convertible preferred

stock. Our historical net tangible book value (deficit) per share represents historical net tangible book

value (deficit) divided by the aggregate number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of March

31, 2025. Total tangible assets represents total assets less capitalized internal-use software, capitalized

contract costs, unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, and deferred initial public offering costs.

Our pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) as of March 31, 2025 was $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;million, or $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;per

share. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents total tangible assets, less total liabilities,

divided by the total aggregate number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025,

after giving effect to:

• the Preferred Stock Conversion, which will occur immediately prior to the completion of this offering,

as if it had occurred as of March 31, 2025;

• the Convertible Notes Conversion, which will occur upon the completion of this offering, as if it had

occurred as of March 31, 2025; and

• the adoption, filing, and effectiveness of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, to be

in effect upon the completion of this offering.

After giving further effect to the issuance and sale by us of&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of our common stock in this

offering at the assumed initial public offering price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;per share, which is the midpoint of the

estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting estimated

underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us and the

assumed repayment of $50.0 million of the indebtedness outstanding under the 2024 Credit Agreement

and to pay approximately $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;million of fees in connection therewith, our pro forma as adjusted net

tangible book value (deficit) as of March 31, 2025 would have been $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;million, or $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;per share.

This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value to existing stockholders of

$&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;per share and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value to new investors of

$&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;per share. Dilution per share represents the difference between the price per share to be paid by

new investors for the shares of our common stock sold in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net

tangible book value per share immediately after this offering.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

The dilution information discussed above is illustrative only and may change based on the actual initial

public offering price, the number of shares we sell, and other terms of this offering that will be determined

at pricing.

Each $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share, which is

the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase or

decrease, as applicable, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering by

$&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share and the dilution per share to investors participating in this offering by $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share,

assuming that the number of shares of common stock offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this

prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions

and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, each 1.0 million share increase in the number

of shares offered by us would increase our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after

this offering by $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share and decrease the dilution per share to investors participating in this

offering by $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share, and each 1.0 million share decrease in the number of shares offered by us

would decrease our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering by

$&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share and increase the dilution per share to investors participating in this offering by

$&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share, in each case assuming the initial public offering price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share remains the

same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering

expenses payable by us.

If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase up to&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; additional shares of common

stock, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value (deficit) per share of our common stock after this

offering would be $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share, and the dilution per share to investors participating in this offering

would be $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share, assuming the assumed initial public offering price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share, which

is the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

The following table summarizes, as of March 31, 2025, on a pro forma as adjusted basis as described

above, the number of shares of our common stock, the total consideration and the average price per

share (i) paid to us by existing stockholders and (ii) to be paid by new investors acquiring our common

stock in this offering at the assumed initial public offering price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share, the midpoint of the

estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, before deducting estimated

underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. As the table

below shows, investors participating in this offering will pay an average price per share substantially

higher than our existing stockholders paid.

Each $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share, which is

the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase or

decrease, as applicable, the total consideration paid by new investors and total consideration paid by all

stockholders by approximately $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; million, assuming that the number of shares of common stock

offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, before deducting

estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Similarly, each 1.0 million share increase or decrease in the number of shares offered by us would

increase or decrease, as applicable, the total consideration paid by new investors and total consideration

paid by all stockholders by $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; million, assuming the assumed initial public offering price of

$&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share of common stock remains the same, before deducting estimated underwriting discounts

and commissions.

Except as otherwise indicated, the above discussion and tables assume no exercise of the underwriters'

option to purchase additional shares. If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase up

to&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; additional shares of common stock, our existing stockholders would own&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; %, and our new

investors would own&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; % of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding upon the

completion of this offering.

The foregoing tables and calculations (other than historical net tangible book value) are based

on&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025, after giving effect to (i) the

Preferred Stock Conversion, which will occur immediately prior to the completion of this offering, (ii) the

Convertible Notes Conversion, which will occur upon the completion of this offering, as if it had occurred

as of March 31, 2025 and (iii) the adoption, filing, and effectiveness of our amended and restated

certificate of incorporation, to be in effect upon the completion of this offering, and excludes:

• 25,066,625 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options as

of March 31, 2025 under our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, with a weighted-average exercise price of

$1.71 per share;

• 621,827 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options granted

subsequent to March 31, 2025 under our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, with a weighted-average

exercise price of $4.67 per share;

• 4,811,190 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants outstanding as of

March 31, 2025 held by Hayfin, with an exercise price of $0.01 per share;

• 939,911 shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2009 Equity Incentive

Plan;

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of our common stock to be reserved for future issuance under the 2025 Plan, which

will become effective upon the commencement of trading of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global

Select Market, from which we will grant RSUs covering approximately &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of common

stock concurrently with this offering (based on the assumed initial public offering price of $

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this

prospectus), as well as any future increases in the number of shares of common stock reserved for

issuance under the 2025 Plan; and

issuance under the ESPP.

To the extent that any outstanding options are exercised, new options or other equity awards are issued

under our equity incentive plans, or we issue additional shares in the future, there will be further dilution to

new investors participating in this offering. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital because

of market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our

current or future operating plans. If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible

debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

**Overview**

We have pioneered the use of software and AI to deliver a more accurate and clinically effective non-

invasive solution for diagnosing and managing coronary artery disease ("CAD"), a leading cause of death

worldwide. As of March 31, 2025, our Heartflow Platform has been used to assess CAD in more than

400,000 patients, including 132,000 in 2024 alone. We believe that we are the most widely adopted AI-

powered test for CAD. Our novel platform leverages AI and advanced computational fluid dynamics to

create a personalized 3D model of a patient's heart from a single coronary computed tomography

angiography ("CCTA"), a specialized type of scan that provides detailed images of the heart's arteries.

Our Heartflow Platform delivers actionable insights on blood flow, stenosis, plaque volume and plaque

composition thereby overcoming the limitations of traditional non-invasive imaging tests which rely on

indirect measures of coronary disease and lead to higher false negative and false positive rates as

demonstrated by our PRECISE trial. We believe the differentiated accuracy and clinical utility of our

Heartflow Platform, along with its ability to enhance workflows, will continue to support our growth and

advance the "CCTA + Heartflow" pathway as the definitive standard for the non-invasive diagnosis and

management of CAD.

To date, we have developed three software products (with a fourth product expected to launch in 2026)

under the Heartflow Platform that provide physicians with the critical insights needed to effectively

diagnose and manage CAD:

• *Heartflow RoadMap Analysis* offers a highly intuitive anatomic visualization of the coronary arteries,

helping physicians quickly identify clinically relevant areas to focus their review. We provide Heartflow

RoadMap Analysis to accounts as an integrated feature to enhance the efficiency of their CCTA

program and it is not a stand-alone product.

• *Heartflow FFRCT Analysis* calculates blood flow and pinpoints clinically significant CAD, which is CAD

with a fractional flow reserve ("FFR") value of 0.80 or below, at every point in the major coronary

arteries. FFR measures the severity of blood flow restriction in the coronary arteries on a scale of 1.0

(no restriction) to 0.0 (complete blockage) by assessing pressure differences across a stenosis during

induced stress, guiding decisions on whether a patient requires invasive revascularization.

• *Heartflow Plaque Analysis* provides a comprehensive assessment of coronary plaque, enabling

optimized medical treatment strategies.

• *Heartflow PCI Planner*, which we expect to launch in 2026, will provide advanced visualization and

clinical insights to optimize revascularization strategies, guide device selection, enhance procedural

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

efficiency, and improve patient care. We plan to provide Heartflow PCI Planner to accounts as an

integrated feature to enhance procedural efficiency, not as a stand-alone product.

The Heartflow Platform has an existing commercial presence and regulatory approval in the United

States, United Kingdom, European Union, Australia, Canada and Japan. We have developed a highly

scalable, capital efficient commercial model that combines Territory Sales Managers ("TSMs") who drive

new account adoption with Territory Account Managers ("TAMs") who focus on increasing utilization by

educating referring physicians. Our commercial team does not cover cases or otherwise spend time in an

operating room or lab setting, which enables them to focus solely on driving commercial adoption and

educational activities. We also have small, direct commercial teams in our international markets. In the

future, we may expand our international presence beyond these markets.

Our technology is simple and intuitive and does not require the purchase of any capital equipment. Our

onboarding process seamlessly integrates the Heartflow Platform into the customer's daily workflow.

These unique attributes of our business model afford our commercial organization a differentiated level of

efficiency and scalability.

We have experienced considerable revenue growth since we began commercializing the Heartflow

Platform in 2015, driven primarily by growth in our account base and increasing test volumes at accounts

in our installed base. We recognized revenue of $87.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023,

compared to revenue of $125.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. For the three months

ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, we recognized revenue of $26.8 million and $37.2 million, respectively.

Substantially all of our revenue is generated on a "pay-per-click" basis each time a physician chooses to

review either our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis, Heartflow Plaque Analysis, or both and we recognize usage-

driven fee revenue upon delivery of the requested analysis to the physician. Heartflow FFRCT Analysis

has served as our commercial foundation, representing 99% of our total revenue as of March 31, 2025. In

the second half of 2023, we initiated limited market education efforts for Heartflow Plaque Analysis, our

second commercial product. Our Heartflow RoadMap Analysis is generally provided as a workflow

efficiency tool to drive customer retention and loyalty and is not a stand-alone product.

To date, we have primarily funded our operations with proceeds from sales of shares of our redeemable

convertible preferred stock, common stock and convertible promissory notes, borrowings under our term

loans and revenue received from our customers. As of March 31, 2025, we had $109.8 million in cash and

cash equivalents. In January and March 2025, we issued $98.3 million in aggregate principal amount of

the 2025 Convertible Notes to investors, including related parties, with original maturity dates of 48

months from the dates of issuance. The consideration for the issuance of the 2025 Convertible Notes was

comprised of $74.0 million in cash, $1.3 million in aggregate principal amount of notes issued in lieu of

cash compensation to certain employees, and the exchange of $23.0 million of outstanding indebtedness

under the 2024 Credit Agreement (as defined below).

We have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows since our inception and we expect

to continue to incur losses as we grow and transition to operating as a public company. Our net loss for

the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 was $95.7 million and $96.4 million, respectively. For the

three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, our net loss was $20.9 million and $32.3 million,

respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $874.5 million and

$971.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.0 billion.

Based on our current operating plan, we believe that the expected cash generated from revenue

transactions with customers and our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our

planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. We

have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could deplete our capital

resources sooner than we expect. We may experience lower than expected cash generated from

operating activities or greater than expected capital expenditures, cost of revenue, or operating expenses,

and may need to raise additional capital to fund operations, further research and development activities,

or acquire, invest in, or in-license other businesses, assets, or technologies.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**Key factors affecting our results of operations and performance** 

We believe there are several important factors that have impacted and that we expect will continue to

impact our operating performance and results of operations for the foreseeable future. These factors

include, among others:

• Rate of adoption of CCTA in the market and our ability to increase adoption of the CCTA + Heartflow

pathway among both referring and reading physicians.

• Ability to successfully introduce our Heartflow Plaque Analysis and other new products and the rate at

which they are adopted by physicians.

• Ability to automate an increasing number of the manual components of our production process and

the rate at which we hire and train analysts to full productivity.

• We experience seasonality throughout the year based on a number of factors, including staff

availability, vacations, weather and other macro economic events.

• Publications of clinical results by us and third parties.

**Heartflow revenue cases**

We regularly review a number of operating and financial metrics to evaluate our business, measure our

performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate our business plan and make strategic

decisions. Substantially all of our revenue is generated on a "pay-per-click" basis each time a physician

chooses to review either our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis, Heartflow Plaque Analysis, or both and we

recognize usage-driven fee revenue upon delivery of the requested analysis to the physician. We define a

"Heartflow revenue case" as each time an account orders and we deliver the requested analysis to the

physician. For example, the ordering of both an Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and a Heartflow Plaque

Analysis from a single CCTA counts as two revenue cases. We define an "account" as any individual

facility that orders a Heartflow FFRCT Analysis, Heartflow Plaque Analysis, or both. Accounts may have

more than one reading physician or CT machine. The following table lists these revenue cases in each of

the three month periods as indicated:

---

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|

---

The period-to-period change in Heartflow revenue cases is an indicator of our ability to drive adoption and

generate sales revenue, and is helpful in tracking the progress of our business. We believe that Heartflow

revenue cases are representative of our current business; however, we anticipate this metric may be

substituted for additional or different metrics as our business grows.

**Components of our results of operations**

***Revenue***

Substantially all of our revenue comprises usage-driven fees from accounts who order either our

Heartflow FFRCT Analysis, Heartflow Plaque Analysis, or both. We recognize usage-driven fee revenue

upon delivery of the requested analysis to the physician. Key factors that drive our revenue include

revenue case growth from our installed base and the success of our sales force in expanding adoption of

the Heartflow Platform to new accounts and expanding the utilization of our system by accounts in our

installed base. We consider an account that has our Heartflow solution deployed with the ability to send

us CCTA images for processing as being part of our installed base. New accounts generally take 12

months to reach steady state revenue case volumes. We consider steady state case volumes to be

attained once the account reaches FFRCT utilization rates approaching 33% of CCTAs occurring at the

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

account—a level that is generally sustained over time based on historical trends. Our Heartflow FFRCT

Analysis is indicated for patients with stenosis levels between 40% and 90% and we believe

approximately 33% of patients have this level of stenosis. For purposes of managing our business, we do

not separately track increases in revenue solely attributable to new accounts. Revenue cases generated

from clinic or office-based accounts typically carry a lower pricing than hospital-based accounts,

commensurate with their lower reimbursement levels. We expect the percentage of our revenue cases

generated from clinic or office-based accounts to continue to increase over time. For the years ended

December 31, 2023 and 2024, the percentage of our U.S. revenue cases attributable to office and clinic-

based accounts was 22% and 28%, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025,

the percentage of our U.S. revenue cases attributable to office and clinic-based accounts was 28% and

30%, respectively.

While a single customer may include multiple accounts, no single customer accounted for 10% or more of

our revenue during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 or for the three months ended March

31, 2024 and 2025. However, the decision-making function for some of these accounts is concentrated in

a relatively small number of customers, such that the loss of one customer could result in a

disproportionate loss across our accounts. For example, for the year ended December 31, 2024, our top

two largest customers, both large health systems with multiple accounts, collectively represented

approximately 8% of our revenue. As we expand the adoption of the Heartflow Platform, we expect a

majority of new accounts to come from new customers, decreasing our customer concentration risk.

Our revenue has fluctuated, and we expect it to continue to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter due to a

variety of factors including the number of accounts in our installed base, the volume of Heartflow Platform

usage by accounts in our installed base, changes in the mix of customer accounts and seasonality. We

may experience fluctuations in the volume of Heartflow Platform usage by our customers based on

seasonal factors that impact the number of radiologists and support staff available to conduct CCTAs at

customer accounts.

***Cost of revenue and gross margin***

Cost of revenue consists of personnel and related expenses, including stock-based compensation costs,

primarily related to our production team. Additional costs include third-party hosting fees, amortization of

capitalized internal-use software, amortization of contract fulfillment costs as well as royalties associated

with technology licenses used in connection with the delivery of our product and allocated overhead,

which includes facilities expenses, equipment, depreciation and technology services. The role of the

production team is to support our patient case volume revenue by performing defined quality-related

activities on CCTA scans submitted by our customers for analysis. The portion of these costs that

supports patient case volume revenue is recorded as cost of revenue. The production team also supports

activities in our clinical trials and research and development, which are allocated as research and

development expense. We expect cost of revenue to increase as we hire additional personnel in our

production team to support our increasing patient case volume.

We calculate gross margin as gross profit divided by revenue. Our gross margin has been and will

continue to be affected by a variety of factors, primarily by our production team costs, the timing of hiring

new production team members and training them to full productivity, the timing of our acquisition of new

customers and pricing and commercialization of Heartflow Plaque Analysis and other new products.

Although, we expect our gross margin to fluctuate from period to period, based upon the factors described

above, we believe our gross margin will increase over the long term as we leverage the AI-based nature

of our software platform to automate an increasing number of the manual components of our production

teams' process, thereby lowering the cost of revenue per analysis. We also expect increased revenues

from our Heartflow Plaque Analysis, to positively impact our gross margin, as it runs on the same CCTA

scan as Heartflow FFRCT Analysis. In the short term, we expect gross margin to decrease as we hire and

train additional personnel in our production team to support our increasing patient case volume.

***Operating expenses***

*Research and development*

Research and development expenses are incurred in connection with the advancement of the Heartflow

Platform with the goal to introduce products, features and improvements aimed at increasing the value

proposition for our customers by expanding its applicability to additional disease states and patient

populations. Research and development expenses consist primarily of engineering, product development,

consulting services, clinical studies to develop and support our products, regulatory activities, medical

affairs, and other costs associated with products and technologies that are in development. Research and

development expenses consist of personnel and related expenses, including stock-based compensation

costs, clinical trials, third-party consulting costs, the portion of the costs incurred by our production team

to support clinical trials and research and development efforts, and allocated overhead, including facilities

expenses, equipment and depreciation. Our research and development team is comprised of PhD

research scientists with expertise in AI-based algorithms and medical imaging, alongside software

engineers skilled in cloud architecture, AI algorithms, machine and deep learning and 3D visualization, as

well as product managers and designers who ensure optimal customer experience and design. We record

research and development expenses in the periods in which they are incurred. We expect our research

and development expenses to increase as we conduct clinical studies for expanded indications for use

and to hire additional personnel to develop new product offerings and product enhancements.

*Selling, general and administrative*

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of personnel and related expenses, including stock-

based compensation costs, related to selling and marketing, commercial operations, reimbursement,

finance, legal, information technology and human resources functions. Other expenses include sales

commission, marketing initiatives, professional service fees (including legal, audit, accounting and tax

fees), market access work to secure reimbursement for our technologies, travel expenses, conferences

and trade shows, and allocated overhead, which includes facilities expenses, software licenses,

depreciation and other miscellaneous expenses.

We expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as a result of

expanding our operations, including hiring personnel, to both drive and support anticipated growth as well

as various incremental costs associated with operating as a public company. We expect that our costs will

increase related to legal, audit, accounting fees, consulting fees, regulatory and tax-related services

associated with maintaining compliance with exchange listing and SEC requirements, director and officer

insurance costs, investor and public relations costs and other expenses that we did not incur as a private

company. However, we expect selling, general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage

of revenue primarily as, and to the extent, our revenue grows.

*Interest expense, net*

Interest expense, net consists primarily of interest expense on our 2024 Term Loan and related

amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs. Interest income is primarily interest earned on our

cash and cash equivalents.

*Other expense, net* 

Other expense, net consists primarily of changes in fair value related to our Convertible Notes, common

stock warrant and derivative liability as well as foreign exchange transaction gains or losses from

transactions and asset and liability balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We will

continue to record adjustments to the estimated fair value of the common stock warrant liability until the

warrants are exercised or expire and to the estimated fair value of the derivative liability until the

convertible notes are repaid or converted.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

*Provision for income taxes*

Provision for income taxes consists of income tax expense in foreign jurisdictions. To date, we have not

recorded any U.S. federal or state income tax expense. We have net deferred tax assets for U.S. federal

income taxes for which we provide a full valuation allowance. Due to our history of net operating losses

since inception, we expect to maintain a full valuation allowance in the foreseeable future due to

uncertainties regarding our ability to realize these assets.

\*: Not Meaningful

***Revenue***

Revenue increased $10.4 million, or 39%, to $37.2 million during the three months ended March 31,

2025, compared to $26.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in revenue

was primarily attributable to a 40% increase in revenue case volume.

***Cost of revenue and gross margin***

Cost of revenue increased $1.8 million, or 25%, to $9.3 million during the three months ended March 31,

2025, compared to $7.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was

attributable to $0.7 million in personnel and related expenses, $0.3 million in amortization of capitalized

internal-use software, $0.3 million in allocated overhead, and a net change of $0.2 million in capitalized

and amortized contract fulfillment costs. Personnel and related expenses included $0.1 million and $0.1

million of stock-based compensation costs during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024,

respectively. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased to 75% as compared to

72% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The gross margin increase during the three months

ended March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by increased revenue cases as compared to the three months

ended March 31, 2024. The three months ended March 31, 2025 also benefited from efficiency

improvements that were introduced throughout 2024 and were in place during the entire three months

ended March 31, 2025, which lowered the cost of revenue per analysis.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

***Research and development expenses***

Research and development expenses increased $4.5 million, or 47%, to $13.9 million during the three

months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $9.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The increase in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to an increase of

$2.9 million in personnel and related expenses directly associated with an increase in headcount,

$0.7 million in clinical trial expenses, $0.6 million in consulting and professional fees, and $0.1 million in

software-related costs. Personnel and related expenses included $0.5 million and $0.5 million of stock-

based compensation costs during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

***Selling, general and administrative expenses***

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5.5 million, or 21%, to $31.5 million during the

three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $26.0 million during the three months ended March 31,

2024. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to an

increase of $2.8 million in personnel and related expenses directly associated with an increase in

headcount, $2.6 million in professional fees, including legal, audit and consulting fees, and $0.9 million in

marketing expenses, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in allocated overhead and $0.6 million

of capitalized commission costs. Personnel and related expenses included $1.9 million and $2.1 million of

stock-based compensation costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

***Interest expense, net***

Interest expense, net decreased to an expense of $4.6 million during the three months ended March 31,

2025, compared to an expense of $4.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. This

decreased expense was attributable to a lower aggregate outstanding principal balance under our 2024

Term Loan related to the conversion of $23.0 million in principal to convertible notes in January 2025

offset by lower interest rates earned on money market funds. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the

aggregate outstanding principal balance (including interest paid-in-kind) under our 2024 Term Loan was

$115.1 million and $138.1 million, respectively.

***Other expense, net***

Other expense, net increased to an expense of $10.3 million during the three months ended March 31,

2025, compared to an expense of $215,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase

was primarily attributable to the remeasurement and recognition of the change in fair value related to our

common stock warrant liability of $1.6 million and the remeasurement and recognition of $9.0 million

related to the derivative liability during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

***(Provision for) benefit from income taxes***

Benefit from income taxes was $72,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to our foreign

taxes. There was no provision for income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

***Revenue***

Revenue increased $38.6 million, or 44%, to $125.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024,

compared to $87.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in revenue was

primarily attributable to a 51% increase in revenue case volume, partially offset by a reduction in average

sales price due to a higher percentage of revenue cases generated from clinic and office-based accounts.

***Cost of revenue and gross margin***

Cost of revenue increased $2.2 million, or 8%, to $31.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2024,

compared to $29.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was attributable to

$0.8 million in allocated overhead, $0.5 million in personnel and related expenses, $0.5 million in

amortization of capitalized internal-use software, $0.4 million in third-party hosting fees and a net change

of $0.3 million in capitalized and amortized contract fulfillment costs, partially offset by a $0.6 million

decrease in royalties. Personnel and related expenses included $0.3 million and $0.4 million of stock-

based compensation costs during the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Gross

margin for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased to 75% as compared to 67% for the year ended

December 31, 2023. The gross margin increase during the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily

driven by increased revenue cases over the prior year and was aided by efficiency improvements, which

lowered the cost of revenue per analysis. The efficiency improvements included the release of new

algorithms that automated the modeling of significant components of the coronary anatomy reducing

manual components of our production teams' process, updated software that improved analyst efficiency,

improved coaching and training, and other one-time efficiency projects. These improvements resulted in

an approximate 50% reduction to average per analyst case processing time, which lowered the cost of

revenue per analysis. Gross margin during the year ended December 31, 2024, also benefited from a

temporary 100 basis point reduction in royalty rates. We expect that future new algorithm launches will

have significantly less impact on automation increases and associated gross margin expansion.

***Research and development expenses***

Research and development expenses increased $7.7 million, or 21%, to $43.5 million during the year

ended December 31, 2024, compared to $35.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

increase in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to an increase of $3.7 million

in personnel and related expenses directly associated with an increase in headcount, $2.0 million in

consulting and professional fees, $1.2 million in software-related costs, $0.5 million in clinical trial

expenses and $0.5 million of capitalized internal-use software costs, partially offset by a $0.6 million

decrease in allocated overhead. Personnel and related expenses included $2.2 million and $3.3 million of

stock-based compensation costs during the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

***Selling, general and administrative expenses***

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $17.0 million, or 18%, to $112.2 million during the

year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $95.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to an increase of

$13.5 million in personnel and related expenses directly associated with an increase in headcount,

$5.3 million in professional fees, including legal, audit and consulting fees, and $1.7 million in marketing

expenses, partially offset by a decrease of $1.0 million in software-related costs and $2.9 million of

capitalized commission costs. Personnel and related expenses included $7.8 million and $8.7 million of

stock-based compensation costs for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

***Interest expense, net***

Interest expense, net decreased to an expense of $18.7 million during the year ended December 31,

2024, compared to an expense of $19.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. This

decreased expense was attributable to more favorable interest rates under the 2024 Term Loan. As of

December 31, 2024 and 2023, the aggregate outstanding principal balance (including interest paid-in-

kind) under our 2024 Term Loan was $138.1 million and $138.1 million, respectively.

***Other expense, net***

Other expense, net increased to an expense of $16.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2024,

compared to an expense of $3.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was

primarily attributable to the remeasurement and recognition of the change in fair value related to our

common stock warrant liability of $14.1 million. Other expense, net also included the remeasurement and

recognition of the changes in fair value related to our Convertible Notes through their conversion in March

2023 and to the derivative liability through the 2024 Term Loan Refinancing (as defined below) in June

2024. ***Provision for income taxes***

Provision for income taxes was $547,000 and $53,000 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024,

respectively, related to our foreign taxes.

***Quarterly trends***

*Revenue*

Our quarterly revenue increased sequentially in each of the periods presented primarily due to revenue

growth from the expansion of revenue cases volume within our existing installed base and the addition of

new customers.

*Cost of revenue and gross margin*

With the exception of the three months ended September 30, 2023, cost of revenue generally increased

sequentially in each of the quarters presented, driven by increased sales. During the three months ended

September 30, 2023, cost of revenue decreased as we introduced the automation of certain manual

components of our production teams process thereby resulting in decreased personnel and related

expenses and allocated overhead.

Our quarterly gross margins have fluctuated between 60% and 77% in each period presented.

***Operating expenses***

Total operating expenses have generally increased sequentially in each period presented with the

exception of the three months ended September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2024. Operating expenses

fluctuated primarily due to timing of consulting projects, legal and professional expenses, clinical studies,

stock-based compensation and the capitalization of internal-use software costs.

**Liquidity and capital resources**

***Sources of liquidity***

As of March 31, 2025, we had $109.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and an accumulated deficit of

$1.0 billion, compared to $51.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and an accumulated deficit of $971.0

million as of December 31, 2024. Since inception, we have primarily funded our operations with proceeds

from sales of shares of our redeemable convertible preferred stock, common stock and convertible

promissory notes, borrowings under our term loans and revenue received from our customers, which we

expect to be our primary source of future liquidity. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024,

we incurred significant operating losses and net cash outflows from our operations, which resulted in an

increase in stockholders' deficit, a reduction in working capital, and a net liabilities position as of

December 31, 2024. On January 24, 2025 and January 31, 2025, we reduced our outstanding

indebtedness under our 2024 Term Loan by $23.0 million, decreased our accrued cash compensation

within accrued expenses and other current liabilities to certain employees by $1.3 million, and also

received $24.0 million in cash in exchange for the issuance of $48.3 million in aggregate principal amount

of 2025 Convertible Notes, as described below. In March 2025, we issued an additional $50.0 million in

aggregate principal of 2025 Convertible Notes to an investor. As of March 31, 2025, we had $98.3 million

outstanding under our 2025 Convertible Notes and $115.1 million outstanding under our 2024 Term Loan

which have respective maturities of 48 months from their issue date and June 14, 2028.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

***Hayfin credit agreement***

On June 14, 2024, we entered into a Credit Agreement and Guaranty for a $138.1 million term loan to

refinance the outstanding obligations under the initial credit agreement we entered into with Hayfin on

January 19, 2021 and the additional term loans entered into with Hayfin on March 17, 2022 in exchange

for the payment of exit fees and early prepayment fees in the aggregate amount of $8.3 million payable in

sixteen equal quarterly installments, or immediately upon the occurrence of a financing event, including

but not limited, to the completion of this offering. On January 24, 2025, in connection with the issuance of

the 2025 Convertible Notes as further described below, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit

Agreement and Guaranty (as amended, the "2024 Credit Agreement") to amend the terms and conditions

governing the term loan outstanding thereunder (as amended, the "2024 Term Loan"). In connection with

the refinancing of the original 2021 Credit Agreement with Hayfin with the 2024 Term Loan (the "2024

Term Loan Refinancing"), we remeasured the fair value of the derivative liability immediately before the

2024 Term Loan Refinancing and recognized a $0.2 million loss from the change in fair value in the

consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The associated current fair value of the derivative liability of $1.1 million, as remeasured at the date of

2024 Term Loan Refinancing, was derecognized and recorded as a debt discount to the 2024 Term Loan

on the consolidated balance sheet.

The 2024 Term Loan matures on June 14, 2028 and bears interest equal to the sum of (i) 7.0% (or 6.0% if

the alternative base rate ("ABR") is in effect) plus (ii) the greater of (x) the forward-looking term rate based

on Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") for a respective tenor in effect on such day (or the

alternative base rate, if applicable), and (y) 2.0%. The ABR equals to the sum of (i) 6.0% plus (ii) the

greater of (1) the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, plus 0.5%, (2) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York

rate plus 0.5% or (3) CBA Term SOFR for one month tenor plus 1.0%. We have an option to pay interest

in-kind at the rate equal to the cash interest rate plus 1.0% through the last interest period ending before

the 18th month anniversary of the 2024 Credit Agreement. We have an option to prepay the 2024 Term

Loan subject to a prepayment fee of 1.5% for prepayments after the second anniversary but on or prior to

the third anniversary of the 2024 Term Loan and a prepayment fee of 3% for prepayments thereafter. The

2024 Term Loan must be repaid in full immediately upon the occurrence of a change in control. In

connection with the completion of this offering, we are obligated to use certain of the net proceeds from

this offering to repay the 2024 Term Loan in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the net cash proceeds of

this offering in excess of $150.0 million and (ii) $50.0 million (or $55.0 million if the underwriters exercise

any portion of their option to purchase additional shares).

The 2024 Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and

affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, covenants that limit or restrict our (and our

subsidiaries) ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, merge or consolidate, make acquisitions,

pay dividends or other distributions or repurchase equity, make investments, dispose of assets and enter

into certain transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to certain exceptions. Financial covenants

require us to maintain a $15.0 million minimum liquidity balance in cash and cash equivalents at all times

and minimum net sales for twelve consecutive month periods ending on the last day of a fiscal quarter,

which is not tested as long as the we maintain minimum liquidity of at least $60.0 million and there has

been no decline in net sales for two-consecutive fiscal quarters at the end of such fiscal quarter. The

minimum twelve months trailing net sales covenant increases each quarter and is $78.8 million for the

quarter ended June 30, 2024 up to a minimum net sales amount of $110.0 million for the quarter ended

June 30, 2025 and each quarter thereafter. Events of default in the 2024 Credit Agreement include,

among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, inaccuracy of

representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, material judgments, cross-defaults to

material contracts and events constituting a change of control. Upon the occurrence of an event of

default, the interest rate applicable to the 2024 Term Loan shall increase by 3.0% per annum and the

outstanding principal balance, along with any accrued interest, shall become immediately due and

payable. As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate outstanding principal balance under the 2024 Term Loan

was $115.1 million and the effective interest rate was 15.2%. As of March 31, 2025, we were in

compliance with the 2024 Credit Agreement covenants.

***Convertible notes***

During the period from September 2022 through December 2022, we issued convertible promissory notes

(the "2022 Convertible Notes") to certain investors (the "2022 Convertible Notes Investors"), with an

aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million. The 2022 Convertible Notes bore interest at a rate of 8% per

annum, compounded monthly. The aggregate principal amount and interest accrued on the 2022

Convertible Notes was due September 30, 2026, and could not be prepaid by us without the consent of a

majority of the 2022 Convertible Notes Investors.

In March 2023, we completed a Qualified Financing (as defined in the 2022 Convertible Notes) and all of

the 2022 Convertible Notes, including principal and interest, were converted into 21,465,064 shares of our

Series F-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock. In connection with the conversion of the 2022

Convertible Notes into the shares of our Series F-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock, we

derecognized the 2022 Convertible Notes in our consolidated balance sheet. We remeasured the fair

value of the 2022 Convertible Notes immediately before the conversion and recognized a $5.1 million loss

from the change in fair value in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the

year ended December 31, 2023.

In January and March 2025, we issued convertible promissory notes to various investors and certain

employees (the "Requisite Holders") in the aggregate amount of $98.3 million, which was comprised of

$74.0 million in aggregate principal amount of notes issued for cash consideration, $1.3 million in

aggregate principal amount of notes issued in lieu of cash compensation to certain employees and $23.0

million in aggregate principal amount of notes issued in the 2024 Term Loan Conversion (collectively, the

"2025 Convertible Notes"). The 2025 Convertible Notes are due and payable in full 48 months from the

issue date. Upon completion of an IPO transaction, the 2025 Convertible Notes shall automatically

convert into shares of our common stock at the IPO price per share at the lower of a 20% discount and a

valuation cap of $2.0 billion on a pre-money basis. In the event we complete a sale of shares of our

preferred stock, the Requisite Holders may elect to convert the outstanding 2025 Convertible Notes into

shares of such series of preferred stock at the same terms. Further, upon a change of control transaction,

the Requisite Holders may elect to convert the outstanding 2025 Convertible Notes into shares of our

common stock at the lower of a 20% discount to the implied price per share of common stock in the

change of control transaction and a valuation cap of $2.0 billion on a pre-money basis, or receive

payment of all principal and any accrued but unpaid 2025 Convertible Notes paid in-kind ("PIK") interest.

The 2025 Convertible Notes do not accrue interest for one year following the date of issuance. Following

the one-year anniversary of the issue date and for the remainder of the term, the 2025 Convertible Notes

interest will accrue on an annual basis at the rate of 7.0% per annum. All PIK interest accrued and

payable will be paid by capitalizing such interest on an annual basis and adding it to the outstanding

principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes.

In connection with the issuance of the 2025 Convertible Notes, we entered into Amendment No.1 to the

2024 Credit Agreement, in which our lender, Hayfin, converted $23.0 million of principal under the 2024

Term Loan to 2025 Convertible Notes under the same terms as the other purchasers of the 2025

Convertible Notes.

The issuance date estimated fair values of the derivative liability was $11.1 million and $20.8 million in

January and March 2025, respectively, which were recorded as debt discounts. The derivative liability was

remeasured to fair value of $40.9 million as of March 31, 2025, resulting in a loss of $9.0 million within the

consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

***Net cash used in operating activities***

Net cash used in operating activities was $76.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023,

attributable to a net loss of $95.7 million and a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $8.5

million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $27.8 million. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of

$11.9 million in stock-based compensation expense, $5.1 million of change in fair value of convertible

note, $4.7 million of depreciation and amortization, $2.8 million of amortization of debt discount and debt

issuance costs, $2.3 million of change in fair value of common stock warrant and $0.9 million of non-cash

interest charges, partially offset by $4.2 million of change in fair value of derivative liability. The net

changes in operating assets and liabilities primarily consisted of an increase of $9.4 million in accounts

receivable and a decrease of $1.8 million in operating lease liabilities, partially offset by an increase of

$3.8 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $69.0 million,

attributable to a net loss of $96.4 million and a net change in operating assets and liabilities of

$10.9 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $38.3 million. The non-cash charges primarily

consisted of $10.2 million in stock-based compensation expense, $16.4 million of change in fair value of

common stock warrant, $5.4 million of depreciation and amortization, $2.7 million of amortization of right-

of-use asset, $2.0 million of non-cash interest charges and $1.6 million of amortization of debt discount

and debt issuance costs. The increase in net operating assets was primarily due to an increase of $3.8

million in accounts receivable, a $1.0 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a

$2.7 million increase in other non-current assets and a $3.2 million decrease in operating lease liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $22.1 million,

attributable to a net loss of $20.9 million and a net change in operating assets and liabilities of

$6.8 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $5.6 million. The non-cash charges primarily consisted

of $2.7 million in stock-based compensation expense, $1.2 million of depreciation and amortization, $0.7

million of amortization of right-of-use asset, $0.7 million of amortization of debt discount and debt

issuance costs, and $0.2 million of non-cash interest charges. The decrease in net operating assets was

primarily due to a $0.7 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $0.3 million

increase in other non-current assets, a decrease of $1.5 million in accounts receivable, a $0.4 million

decrease in accounts payable, a decrease of $6.0 million in accrued expenses and other current

liabilities, and a $0.7 million decrease in operating lease liabilities.

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $13.2 million,

attributable to a net loss of $32.3 million and a net change in operating assets and liabilities of

$2.5 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $16.7 million. The non-cash charges primarily

consisted of $2.5 million in stock-based compensation expense, $9.0 million of change in fair value of

derivative liability, $1.6 million of change in fair value of common stock warrant, $1.4 million of

depreciation and amortization, $0.7 million of amortization of right-of-use asset, $0.5 million of non-cash

interest charges and $1.0 million of amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs. The increase

in net operating assets was primarily due to an increase of $3.6 million in accounts receivable, a $0.4

million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $0.3 million increase in other non-current

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

assets, a $9.3 million increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, a $1.6 million decrease in

accounts payable and a $0.9 million decrease in operating lease liabilities.

***Net cash used in investing activities***

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $6.1 million consisting of

purchases of property and equipment.

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $4.4million consisting of

purchases of property and equipment.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $1.7 million

consisting of purchases of property and equipment.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $1.1 million

consisting of purchases of property and equipment.

***Net cash provided by financing activities***

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $169.3 million,

primarily attributable to net proceeds of $169.0 million from the issuance of our Series F redeemable

convertible preferred stock.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $2.2million primarily

attributable to $4.6million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options offset by payments of $2.3

million in exit, prepayment penalty and lender fees related to our 2024 Term Loan Refinancing.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted

primarily of $77,000 in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted

primarily of $73.9 million in net proceeds from the issuance of our 2025 Convertible Notes, $0.6 million in

proceeds from the exercise of stock options, offset by $0.5 million in exit and prepayment penalty fees

related to our 2024 Term Loan and $1.0 million in payments of deferred IPO offering costs.

***Future funding requirements***

Based on our current operating plan, we believe that the expected cash generated from revenue

transactions with customers and our cash and cash equivalents of $109.8 million as of March 31, 2025,

which includes the $75.3 million in proceeds from our January and March 2025 convertible promissory

notes offering, will be sufficient to fund our planned operating expenses and capital expenditure

requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our losses primarily resulted from the costs incurred in the

development and sales and marketing of our products and providing general and administrative support

for our operations. We expect to continue to incur losses and to expend significant amounts of cash in the

foreseeable future as we continue to scale our business, invest in research and development activities,

increase sales and marketing efforts to support commercial expansion, and increase general and

administrative expenses to support being a publicly-traded company. Our ability to meet our short term

requirements and plans for cash do not include the net proceeds from this offering. We have based our

estimate of future funding requirements on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could

deplete our capital resources sooner than we expect. We may experience lower than expected cash

generated from operating activities or greater than expected capital expenditures, cost of revenue, or

operating expenses, and may need to raise additional capital to fund operations, further research and

development activities, or acquire, invest in, or in-license other businesses, assets, or technologies.

In the long term, our ability to support our working capital and capital expenditure requirements will

depend on many factors, including the following:

• the market acceptance of our products;

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

• the timing, scope, rate of progress, results and costs of our research and development activities;

• the number, scope and duration of current or future clinical studies and additional regulatory

clearances or approval;

• the effect of competing technological and market developments;

• the costs and timing of future commercialization activities, including marketing and sales, for

Heartflow Plaque Analysis and any other new products;

• the amount of revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of our Heartflow Plaque Analysis and

any other new products;

• the impact of competitors' products and technological advances and other market developments;

• the expenses needed to attract and retain skilled personnel;

• the size of the markets and degree of market acceptance of any products in territories in which we

receive regulatory approval, including product pricing, product coverage, and the adequacy of

reimbursement by third-party payors;

• Whether we acquire third-party companies, products or technologies;

• Restructuring, refinancing or repayment of debt;

• the increase in the number of our employees to support growth initiatives;

• the cost of attaining, defending and enforcing our patents and other intellectual property rights;

• the timing of when we pay our operating expenses;

• the costs associated with being a public company; and

• other factors, including economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, healthcare reform and changes in

administration, which may exacerbate the magnitude of the factors discussed above.

Furthermore, our operating plans may change, and we may need additional funds to meet operational

needs and capital requirements for clinical trials and other research and development expenditures.

Should we obtain additional equity or debt financing to satisfy our liquidity needs, the issuance of

additional debt or equity securities could be dilutive to existing stockholders. Furthermore, any new

securities could have rights that are senior to existing stockholders and could contain covenants that

would restrict operations. There can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient future cash flows

from operations or that financing will be available on terms commercially acceptable to us or at all. If we

are unable to obtain future funding, we would curtail expenses by reducing some of our research and

development programs and commercialization efforts in order to maintain liquidity, if necessary.

**Contractual obligations and commitments**

Our contractual commitments will have an impact on our future liquidity. These commitments include

future payments on non-cancellable facility leases, purchase obligations related to research and

development and professional services under non-cancellable contracts, royalty obligations for exclusive

technology licensing agreements and future payments on our 2024 Term Loan and 2025 Convertible

Notes. Where applicable, we calculate our obligation based on termination fees that can be paid to exit

the contract.

***Lease agreements***

We have operating lease arrangements for office space in Mountain View, California, Santa Rosa,

California, San Francisco, California, Austin, Texas, and Tokyo, Japan. As of March 31, 2025 we had total

lease payment obligations under non-cancelable leases of $27.5 million, including $4.2 million payable

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

through December 31, 2025. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in

this prospectus.

***Royalty payments***

We entered into various exclusive technology licensing agreements that requires us to make annual

royalty payments in fixed amounts as well as certain milestone and revenue-based payments. As of

March 31, 2025, the remaining aggregate royalty obligations under these agreements is $0.3 million, of

which minimum royalty obligations have been met for 2025. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial

statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

***2024 Term Loan***

The principal balance on debt outstanding under our 2024 Term Loan as of March 31, 2025 was

$115.1 million and approximately $10.0 million of interest is payable through December 31, 2025. See

Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

***2025 Convertible Notes***

The principal balance outstanding under our 2025 Convertible Notes as of March 31, 2025 was

$98.3 million. The 2025 Convertible Notes do not accrue interest for one year following the date of

issuance. See Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

**Recently issued accounting pronouncements**

A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial

position, results of operations or cash flows is disclosed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements

included elsewhere in this prospectus.

**Critical accounting policies and estimates**

Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based

on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The

preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions

that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. Our

estimates are based on our historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable

under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying

value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ

from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be

material.

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to our consolidated

financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, we believe that the following discussion

addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those most important to our financial condition

and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

***Common stock warrants***

We have issued freestanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock in connection with our 2024

Term Loan. We classify these warrants as a liability because they do not meet the equity indexation

criteria. We record the fair value of the warrant on the consolidated balance sheet upon issuance and is

subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date. The changes in the fair value of the warrants are

recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. We utilize the Black-

Scholes option-pricing model, which incorporates assumptions and estimates, to value the common stock

warrant liability. Significant estimates and assumptions impacting fair value include the stock price,

contractual term, expected volatility and weighted average risk-free interest rate.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

The estimated aggregate fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the 2024 Term Loan in

January 2021 and March 2022 was $4.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively. We recognized a $2.3

million and $16.4 million loss from the change in fair value in the consolidated statements of operations

and comprehensive loss during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively. We

recognized a $1,000 gain and $1.6 million loss from the change in fair value in the consolidated

statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and

2025, respectively.

***Derivative liability***

Term Loan

Prior to the 2024 Term Loan Refinancing in June 2024, we determined that our 2024 Term Loan contained

certain prepayment features, default put option and default interest adjustment features that were

determined to be embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation and separate accounting as a single

compound derivative. The impact of bifurcation of the embedded derivative on the date of issuance was

reflected as a debt discount. The instrument was classified as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet

and is subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date. Any change in fair value of the derivative

liability is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

We utilize both the Black-Scholes-Merton and option-pricing method, which incorporates certain

assumptions and estimates, to value the derivative liability. These include the estimated time and

probability of a business combination or IPO, default, change of control and incurrence of new debt,

weighted common stock value, debt yield, expected volatility and risk-free interest rate.

The estimated fair value of the derivative liability was $2.1 million at the issuance date in January 2021.

We recognized a $4.2 million gain and $0.2 million loss from the change in fair value in the consolidated

statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024,

respectively. In connection with the 2024 Term Loan Refinancing on June 14, 2024, the associated

current fair value of the derivative liability of $1.1 million, as remeasured at the date of 2024 Term Loan

Refinancing, was derecognized and recorded as a debt discount to the 2024 Term Loan.

2025 Convertible Notes

The 2025 Convertible Notes were determined to contain certain settlement features and conversion put

options which require bifurcation and separate accounting as a single compound embedded derivative.

The fair value of the derivative liability was recorded at the issuance dates as debt discounts and

reductions to the carrying value of the 2025 Convertible Notes on the consolidated balance sheet. The

derivative liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting period and the related changes in fair

value are recorded on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The fair value of the derivative liability was estimated using a scenario-based analysis comparing the

probability-weighted present value of the 2025 Convertible Notes with and without the bifurcated features.

We utilize both the Monte Carlo Simulation and option-pricing method, which incorporates certain

assumptions and estimates, to value the derivative liability. These include the estimated time and

probability of an IPO and change of control, with resulting cash flows discounted using appropriate

discount rates.

The issuance date estimated fair values of the derivative liability was $11.1 million and $20.8 million in

January and March 2025, respectively, which were recorded as debt discounts. The derivative liability was

remeasured to fair value of $40.9 million as of March 31, 2025, resulting in a loss of $9.0 million within the

consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

***Stock-based compensation***

Stock-based compensation related to share-based awards granted to employees, consultants and to

members of our board of directors is measured at fair value. Compensation expense for those awards is

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.

For performance-based stock options, we assess the probability of performance conditions being

achieved in each reporting period. The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in any

one period related to performance-based stock options can vary based on the achievement or anticipated

achievement of the performance conditions. We account for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they

occur.

We estimate the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option -

pricing model. This model requires the use of highly subject assumptions to determine the fair value,

including:

• *Fair value of common stock.* See the subsection titled "—Determination of fair value of common

stock" below.

• *Expected term.* The expected term represents the period that the stock-based awards are expected to

be outstanding. The expected term for our stock options was calculated based on the weighted-

average vesting term of the awards and the contract period, or simplified method.

• *Expected volatility.* Since we are not yet a public company and do not have any trading history for our

common stock, the expected volatility was estimated based on the average historical volatilities of

common stock of comparable publicly traded entities over a period equal to the expected term of the

stock option grants. The comparable companies were chosen based on their size, stage of their life

cycle or area of specialty.

• *Risk-free interest rate.* The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the

time of grant for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the expected

term of the awards.

• *Expected dividend yield.* The expected dividend yield is zero as we have not paid dividends nor do we

anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock.

We expect to continue to grant equity-based awards in the future, and to the extent that we do, our stock-

based compensation expense recognized in future periods will likely increase.

Based on the assumed initial public offering price per share of $, which is the midpoint of the

estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the aggregate intrinsic value

of our outstanding stock options as of March 31, 2025 was $ million, with $ million related to vested

stock options.

See Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for further

details.

***Determination of fair value of common stock***

As there has been no public market for our common stock to date, the estimated fair value of our common

stock underlying our share-based awards was estimated on each grant date by our management and

approved by our board of directors. Our board of directors exercised reasonable judgment and

considered a number of objective and subjective factors, as well as valuations prepared by independent

third-party valuation firms. The methodologies used to estimate the enterprise value are performed using

methodologies, approaches and assumptions consistent with the American Institute of Certified Public

Accountants Accounting and Valuation Guide, *Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities* 

*Issued as Compensation* (the Practice Aid).

In addition to considering the results of independent third-party valuations, our board of directors

considered various objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of common stock as of

each grant date, including:

• contemporaneous valuations performed by independent third-party specialists;

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

• the prices, rights, preferences and privileges of our redeemable convertible preferred stock relative to

those of our common stock;

• the prices of common or preferred stock sold to third-party investors by us and in secondary

transactions or repurchased by us in arms-length transactions;

• lack of marketability of our common stock;

• our actual operating and financial performance;

• current business conditions and projections;

• our stage of development;

• likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or a merger or acquisition of

our company given prevailing market conditions;

• the market performance of comparable publicly traded companies; and

• the U.S. and global capital market conditions.

For our valuations performed, the allocation of these enterprise values to each our share classes utilized

the hybrid method. The hybrid method considered the stay private scenario and IPO exit scenario. In the

stay private scenario, three market methodologies were employed including (i) a market indexing

valuation analysis based on the Series F Preferred financing round, (ii) a guideline public company

analysis based on historical and forecast operating metrics for us, and (iii) a guideline transaction analysis

based on historical and forecast operating metrics for us. In the IPO exit scenario, the total equity value

was estimated based on the expected timing, offering size and pre-money valuation.

The assumptions underlying these valuations represented management's best estimate, which involved

inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment. As a result, if we had used

significantly different assumptions or estimates, the fair value of our common stock and our stock-based

compensation expense could be materially different.

Once a public trading market for our common stock has been established in connection with the

completion of this offering, it will no longer be necessary for our board of directors to estimate the fair

value of our common stock in connection with our accounting for share-based payments, as the fair value

of our common stock will be based on the quoted market price of our common stock.

**Off-balance sheet arrangements**

During the periods presented we did not have, nor do we currently have, any off-balance sheet

arrangements as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

**Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks**

***Interest rate risk***

As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $109.8 million. Our cash and cash

equivalents are held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or

speculative purposes. Due to the short-term nature of our cash equivalents, we have not been exposed

to, nor do we anticipate being exposed to, material risks due to changes in interest rates.

Our exposures to market risk for changes in interest rates relate primarily to our 2024 Term Loan

(described above) which bears floating interest rates and a rising interest rate environment will increase

the amount of interest paid on these loans. Each 100 basis point increase in these initial rates would

increase annual interest expense by approximately $1.2 million assuming the 2024 Term Loan remain

outstanding for the annual period.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

***Credit risk***

Our cash and cash equivalents, which at times may exceed federally insured limits, is maintained with

large financial institutions. As of the issuance date of the financial statements included in this report, we

have not experienced any losses on our deposits and all of our cash deposits have been accessible to us.

Our accounts receivable primarily relate to revenue from the sale of our products to medical providers. No

customer represented 10% or more of our accounts receivable as of December 31, 2023, 2024 and

March 31, 2025.

***Foreign currency exchange risk***

The vast majority of our cash generated from revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars, with a small amount

denominated in other foreign currencies. Our expenses are generally denominated in the currencies of

the jurisdictions in which we conduct our operations, which are primarily in the United States, United

Kingdom and Japan. Our results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to

changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The effect of a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency

exchange rates applicable to our business would not have had a material impact on our consolidated

financial statements during any of the periods presented. As the impact of foreign currency exchange

rates has not been material to our historical operating results, we have not entered into derivative or

hedging transactions, but we may do so in the future if our exposure to foreign currency becomes more

significant.

***Effects of inflation***

Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor and overhead costs. We do not believe that

inflation has had a material impact on our business, results of operations, or financial condition, or on our

consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

**Emerging growth company status**

We are an "emerging growth company" under the JOBS Act, which permits us to take advantage of an

extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public

companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period until we are no longer an emerging

growth company or until we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period. As a

result, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new

or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies. The JOBS Act also exempts us

from having to provide an attestation and report from our independent registered public accounting firm

on the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of

2002. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year

following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which

we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion; (iii) the last day of the fiscal year in which

we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which

would occur if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million as of

the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such year; or (iv) the date on which we have issued

more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

**Business**

**Overview**

We have pioneered the use of software and AI to deliver a more accurate and clinically effective non-

invasive solution for diagnosing and managing coronary artery disease ("CAD"), a leading cause of death

worldwide. As of March 31, 2025, our Heartflow Platform has been used to assess CAD in more than

400,000 patients, including 132,000 in 2024 alone. We believe that we are the most widely adopted AI-

powered test for CAD. Our novel platform leverages AI and advanced computational fluid dynamics to

create a personalized 3D model of a patient's heart from a single coronary computed tomography

angiography ("CCTA"), a specialized type of scan that provides detailed images of the heart's arteries.

Our Heartflow Platform delivers actionable insights on blood flow, stenosis, plaque volume and plaque

composition thereby overcoming the limitations of traditional non-invasive imaging tests which rely on

indirect measures of coronary disease and lead to higher false negative and false positive rates, as

demonstrated by our PRECISE trial. We believe the differentiated accuracy and clinical utility of our

Heartflow Platform, along with its ability to enhance workflows, will continue to support our growth and

advance the "CCTA + Heartflow" pathway as the definitive standard for the non-invasive diagnosis and

management of CAD.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, with CAD being the most lethal form.

CAD occurs when plaque—a buildup of cholesterol, fat, calcium and other substances—accumulates on

the walls of the coronary arteries, restricting blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke.

This condition is responsible for half of all cardiovascular-related deaths globally. In the United States

alone, the Centers for Disease Control ("CDC") estimates that approximately 805,000 people suffer a

heart attack each year. Despite significant advancements in therapeutic and interventional treatments,

CAD remains a leading cause of death globally because healthcare systems generally lack scalable

methods to efficiently detect, diagnose and quantify CAD at a personalized level.

Based on our analyses using Clarivate's ProcedureFinder data repository, we estimate that there were

approximately 9.5 million non-invasive tests ("NITs") in the United States in 2023 for patients experiencing

stable or acute chest pain, which we refer to as symptomatic CAD patients. These NITs primarily include

stress tests, such as single-photon emission computed tomography ("SPECT"), echocardiography and

positron emission tomography ("PET"), which infer the presence of heart disease based on how well

blood is supplied to the heart, and do not measure the actual disease itself. Accordingly, these tests have

been shown to be unreliable and inconsistent.

CCTA has emerged as a leading non-invasive imaging method for evaluating CAD, offering direct and

detailed visualization of the coronary arteries. Unlike traditional stress-based NITs, CCTA enables

physicians to identify the presence and extent of coronary blockage. As a result, CCTA has become the

preferred first-line test for patients with suspected CAD, as evidenced by the AHA and ACC guidelines

elevating CCTA to Class 1, Level A. However, while CCTA provides superior anatomical imaging, it does

not independently quantify the severity of CAD, assess blood flow limitations, or characterize plaque

composition—critical factors for determining the most appropriate, personalized course of treatment for a

patient.

Our Heartflow Platform builds upon the well established strengths of CCTA by going beyond its limitations

and providing new quantified insights and compelling visualizations of data. By applying our advanced AI-

powered technology to a single CCTA scan, we generate a precise, patient-specific analysis that

quantifies blood flow, measures plaque burden, and characterizes plaque composition—at every point in

the major coronary arteries.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

To date, we have developed three software products (with a fourth product expected to launch in 2026)

under the Heartflow Platform that provide physicians with the critical insights needed to effectively

diagnose and manage CAD:

• *Heartflow RoadMap Analysis* offers a highly intuitive anatomic visualization of the coronary arteries,

helping physicians quickly identify clinically relevant areas to focus their review. We provide Heartflow

RoadMap Analysis to accounts as an integrated feature to enhance the efficiency of their CCTA

program and it is not a stand-alone product.

• *Heartflow FFRCT Analysis* calculates blood flow and pinpoints clinically significant CAD, which is CAD

with a fractional flow reserve ("FFR") value of 0.80 or below, at every point in the major coronary

arteries. FFR measures the severity of blood flow restriction in the coronary arteries on a scale of 1.0

(no restriction) to 0.0 (complete blockage) by assessing pressure differences across a stenosis during

induced stress, guiding decisions on whether a patient requires invasive revascularization.

• *Heartflow Plaque Analysis* provides a comprehensive assessment of coronary plaque, enabling

optimized medical treatment strategies.

• *Heartflow PCI Planner*, which we expect to launch in 2026, will provide advanced visualization and

clinical insights to optimize revascularization strategies, guide device selection, enhance procedural

efficiency, and improve patient care. We plan to provide Heartflow PCI Planner to accounts as an

integrated feature to enhance procedural efficiency, not as a stand-alone product.

We believe we are the first and most widely-adopted AI-powered test for CAD. With over a decade of

commercial presence, we have established a competitively differentiated data set of approximately 110

million annotated images, which is primarily sourced from our commercial relationships with customers,

driving training and refinement of our algorithms for over 10 years and the ability to train new AI models

for future products.

We believe our Heartflow Platform delivers the following key benefits:

• **More accurate non-invasive test for CAD**, clinically validated to provide superior assessment of

blood flow, plaque volume and plaque characterization compared to traditional non-invasive methods.

• **More informed assessments, personalized care, and better risk stratification**, positively

impacting physician decisions on which patients should receive an intervention, supporting more

efficient intervention planning and driving more personalized medical management.

• **Superior economic efficiency and enhanced interventional treatment planning**, accurately

identifying more patients who need interventional treatment while reducing unnecessary invasive

procedures—significantly improving the efficiency of the catheterization lab and therefore hospital

economics.

• **Proprietary, secure bi-directional data communication with customers** that feeds a growing

database of approximately 110 million annotated CCTA images that we leverage to improve the

Heartflow Platform's accuracy, automation and clinical utility and seamlessly deliver new features and

workflow efficiencies to our customers.

• **Improved workflow** through our Heartflow RoadMap Analysis that, as demonstrated in our SMART-

CT study, reduces CCTA interpretation times by approximately 25% and reduces variability between

reviewing physicians by approximately 40%, leading to more consistent diagnoses and standardized

patient care.

• **Better patient and provider experience**, by leveraging a single CCTA for all of our products,

patients complete their test in approximately 20 minutes with significantly lower radiation exposure

compared to nuclear imaging tests such as SPECT and PET that take multiple hours and require

radioactive tracers to be injected into the bloodstream. By providing a definitive diagnosis upfront, the

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Heartflow Platform eliminates the need for layered testing, streamlining the patient journey and

reducing anxiety associated with uncertain or inconclusive results.

We estimate our current market opportunity in the United States for our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and

Heartflow Plaque Analysis is approximately $5 billion. Based on our analyses using Clarivate's

ProcedureFinder data repository, we estimate that approximately 9.5 million unique stable chest pain

patients receive NITs in the United States annually. In addition, based on our FORECAST randomized

trial, we further estimate that 33% of patients have stenosis levels between 40% and 90%, which results

in approximately 2.8 million patients eligible for our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis in the stable setting. Based

on the Martin paper, where there were approximately 577,000 hospital discharges in the United States in

2020 due to a principal diagnosis of acute chest pain, and the Bhatt paper, where No ST Elevation

("NSTE") related acute chest pain accounted for approximately 70% of acute chest pain, we further

estimate that the annual incidence of patients who have acute chest pain with NSTE is approximately 0.4

million patients. Of these approximately 0.4 million patients, we estimate based on the Kofoed paper that

approximately 70% have obstructive disease and are eligible for our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis, which

results in approximately 0.3 million acute chest pain patients eligible for our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis.

Therefore, we believe there is a market opportunity of approximately 3.1 million patients eligible for our

Heartflow FFRCT Analysis, which, at a U.S. average sales price of $1,067, translates to an estimated

market opportunity of approximately $3.3 billion in the United States.

In addition, we believe our Heartflow Plaque Analysis is applicable to approximately 60% of those 9.5

million NIT patients annually and the majority of patients experiencing acute chest pain. Based on our

PROMISE trial and the Hoffmann paper, we estimate that approximately 60% of CCTA patients have

plaque and are eligible for plaque analysis, which translates to approximately 5.1 million patients eligible

for our Heartflow Plaque Analysis in a stable setting. Based on our internal analysis and the findings in the

Wang paper, where less than 5% of patients were expected to be contraindicated for CCTA, we also

estimate that all of the approximately 0.4 million patients with acute chest pain with NSTE referred to

above will be eligible for our Heartflow Plaque Analysis. Therefore, we believe there is a market

opportunity of approximately 5.5 million patients eligible for our Heartflow Plaque Analysis, which, at an

estimated U.S. sales price of $300, translates to an estimated market opportunity of approximately an

incremental $1.7 billion in the United States.

Beyond the commercialization of Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and Heartflow Plaque Analysis in symptomatic

CAD, we see a significant market opportunity for our technologies in at-risk individuals who show no

symptoms, a segment comprised of approximately 200 million people globally, based on data from the

U.S. Census Bureau, CDC, Eurostat, United Kingdom Office of National Statistics, the Yang paper and

the MacDonald paper. To unlock this potential, we are continuing to evaluate new product opportunities

and appropriate clinical evidence supporting eventual regulatory approval, payor coverage and

commercialization.

We believe the Heartflow Platform is the most extensively studied AI-enabled test for CAD. Our belief is

grounded in our analysis, including that the Heartflow Platform and its accuracy, clinical utility and

economic benefits have been evaluated in over 100 clinical studies and more than 130,000 patients,

including our PRECISE and FORECAST trials, each a large randomized controlled trial, with results

published in over 600 peer-reviewed clinical publications. Our studies, including the PRECISE, NXT and

PACIFIC trials, have consistently demonstrated that the Heartflow Platform is more accurate than

traditional non-invasive tests and highly concordant to invasive testing, reduces unnecessary invasive

testing, and enables physicians to optimize treatment and ultimately provide more efficient care.

We have developed a highly scalable, capital efficient commercial model that combines Territory Sales

Managers ("TSMs") who drive new account adoption with Territory Account Managers ("TAMs") who focus

on increasing utilization by educating referring physicians. Our commercial team does not cover cases or

otherwise spend time in an operating room or lab setting, which enables them to focus solely on driving

commercial adoption and educational activities.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Our technology is simple and intuitive and does not require the purchase of any capital equipment. Our

onboarding process seamlessly integrates the Heartflow Platform into the customer's daily workflow.

These unique attributes of our business model afford our commercial organization a differentiated level of

efficiency and scalability.

Current clinical guidelines strongly support the adoption of the Heartflow Platform. The CCTA + Heartflow

FFRCT Analysis pathway is supported by the American Heart Association ("AHA") and American College of

Cardiology ("ACC") guidelines, with CCTA identified as a Class 1, Level A test and Heartflow FFRCT

Analysis identified as a Class 2a, Level B test for the diagnosis of CAD in certain patients with stable or

acute chest pain and no known CAD. The AHA and ACC guidelines utilize Classes and Levels to indicate

the strength of a recommendation and the quality of supporting evidence, respectively. Class 1 represents

the strongest recommendation, followed by Class 2a, which represents a moderate recommendation.

Similarly, Level A signifies the highest quality of evidence, while Level B indicates moderate quality.

We believe current reimbursement policies support the adoption of the Heartflow Platform. Our Heartflow

FFRCT Analysis is reimbursed under a dedicated Category I Current Procedural Terminology ("CPT")

code, effective as of January 1, 2024, and has established coverage policies representing approximately

99% of covered lives in the United States. A Category I CPT code was recently established for Heartflow

Plaque Analysis. It will go into effect on January 1, 2026, and is covered by all seven Medicare

administrative contractor ("MACs"). A Category I CPT code designates a procedure or service that uses

device(s) with Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") clearance or approval (when required), is performed

by many physicians across the United States for its intended clinical use, aligns with current medical

practice, and has documented efficacy in literature. The Category I CPT status for our Heartflow FFRCT

Analysis and Heartflow Plaque Analysis validates their widespread use and distinguish them from

emerging technologies that are assigned Category III CPT codes.

We primarily generate revenue on a "pay-per-click" basis each time a physician chooses to review either

our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis, Heartflow Plaque Analysis, or both. Heartflow FFRCT Analysis has served

as our commercial foundation, representing 99% of our total revenue as of March 31, 2025. In the second

half of 2023, we initiated limited market education efforts for Heartflow Plaque Analysis, our second

commercial product. Our Heartflow RoadMap Analysis is generally provided as a workflow efficiency tool

to drive customer retention and loyalty and is not a stand-alone product. We expect to launch our next

product, Heartflow PCI Planner, in 2026 as an integrated feature to enhance procedural efficiency, not as

a stand-alone product.

We have experienced significant revenue growth since we began commercializing the Heartflow Platform

in 2015. We recognized revenue of $125.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to

revenue of $87.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, representing 44% year-over-year growth.

We recognized revenue of $37.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to

revenue of $26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing 39% growth over the

prior year period. The software-based nature of our Heartflow Platform produces an attractive gross

margin profile, which continues to expand as we leverage AI to automate an increasing portion of our

"human-in-the loop" quality control process, where learnings are fed back into our algorithms to make

them smarter and more efficient. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, we generated gross

margins of 75%, an increase of 8 percentage points year-over-year from December 31, 2023. Our net

losses were $95.7 million and $96.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024,

respectively. Our accumulated deficit was $874.5 million and $971.0 million as of December 31, 2023 and

2024, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we generated gross margins of 75%, an

increase of 3 percentage points over the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our net losses were $20.9

million and $32.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Our

accumulated deficit was $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2025.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**Our success factors**

We believe the continued growth of our company will primarily be driven by the following success factors:

• ***Differentiated approach to the non-invasive diagnosis and management of CAD:*** We are the

first medical technology company authorized for marketing in the United States to leverage software

and AI to accurately and non-invasively diagnose and manage CAD using a single CCTA. As of

March 31, 2025, our Heartflow Platform has been used to assess CAD in more than 400,000 patients,

including 132,000 in 2024 alone. Our Heartflow Platform applies AI and advanced computational fluid

dynamics to generate a personalized 3D model of a patient's heart, delivering actionable data on

blood flow, stenosis, plaque volume and plaque composition. This enables physicians to diagnose

CAD, assess risk and develop individualized care plans without requiring an invasive procedure.

Unlike traditional NITs that use surrogate measures to diagnose heart disease, which results in higher

rates of false negatives and false positives, as demonstrated by our PRECISE trial, the Heartflow

Platform measures and quantifies the actual disease and has been proven to more accurately

diagnose CAD. Our proprietary database of approximately 110 million annotated CCTA images, which

is primarily sourced from our commercial relationships with customers and growing daily, has fueled

ongoing AI-driven algorithm refinement for over a decade—enhancing our platform's value for

patients, physicians, and payors. Our standard commercial agreements provide us with the right to

use submitted images for product support and development. We perform regular updates and

upgrades to the Heartflow Platform and don't charge customers for the rollout of those

enhancements. We believe the unique software technology attributes of our Heartflow Platform will

continue to support our commercial presence and help us establish the CCTA + Heartflow pathway as

the standard of care for the non-invasive diagnosis and management of CAD.

• ***Market leader in AI-powered quantitative CAD analysis with strong customer relationships:*** We

believe our Heartflow Platform is the most widely adopted AI-powered test for CAD, to date, with an

installed base of more than 1,100 accounts in the United States as of December 31, 2024, reflecting a

CAGR of 44% from December 31, 2021, including leading academic institutions, integrated delivery

networks, physician offices and outpatient imaging centers. Our value proposition resonates across

multiple subspecialties, including radiology, cardiology, and interventional cardiology. Our deep

integration into customer workflows and IT infrastructure, including electronic medical record systems,

ensures seamless utilization and efficiency. We believe our long-standing customer relationships,

continuously improving AI-powered software and the highly embedded nature of our customer

integrations will continue to support the rapid adoption of our Platform. Additionally, as we expand our

AI capabilities, introduce new applications such as Heartflow Plaque Analysis, and further optimize

workflow integration, we expect our Platform's value proposition to grow—deepening customer

reliance on our solutions and accelerating broader market penetration.

• ***Attractive revenue model with significant operating leverage potential:*** We primarily generate

revenue on a scalable "pay-per-click" model, in which we charge per physician review of our

Heartflow FFRCT Analysis, Heartflow Plaque Analysis, or both. Utilization rates for Heartflow FFRCT

Analysis typically scale rapidly after onboarding, approaching approximately 33% of CCTA tests within

an account—a level that is generally sustained over time. Utilization rates for an account are

calculated as the number of Heartflow FFRCT Analysis ordered divided by the total number of CCTA

tests performed at an account. Our TAMs measure this utilization rate in the first twelve months

following the onboarding of a new account to ensure onboarding was successful. As CCTA +

Heartflow referral volumes increase, these stable utilization rates translate into increasing Heartflow

revenue cases. These aspects of our revenue model afford us significant predictability and

consistency. Additionally, the AI-based nature of our software platform produces an attractive gross

margin profile that has improved over time as we have leveraged AI to automate an increasing

number of the manual components of our "human-in-the loop" quality control process thereby

lowering the cost of revenue per analysis. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, we

generated gross margins of 75%, an increase of 8% year-over-year from December 31, 2023. For the

three months ended March 31, 2025, we generated gross margins of 75%, an increase of 3

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

percentage points over the three months ended March 31, 2024. Given our established relationships

and bi-directional data sharing infrastructure with customers, we also have the opportunity to add and

rapidly scale revenue streams from new software products or indications, such as Heartflow Plaque

Analysis, with minimal additional setup and installation cost and effort for our customers. Since

Heartflow Plaque Analysis runs on the same CCTA scan as Heartflow FFRCT Analysis, we expect

favorable operating and gross margin leverage as its adoption increases. We have also developed a

highly scalable enterprise commercial model that combines TSMs who focus on driving new account

adoption with TAMs who educate referring physicians and drive increased volumes at accounts in our

installed base. Unlike traditional medical technology companies, our software is fully cloud-based,

simple to implement, and does not require case coverage or on-site support. This streamlined,

capital-light model enables us to scale efficiently while maintaining a lean commercial footprint. We

believe these structural advantages will enable us to continue investing in growth while advancing

towards profitability.

• ***Large addressable market opportunity with a significant unmet need:*** CAD is a leading cause of

death and a highly prevalent condition worldwide with well-established pathways for diagnosis,

primarily through NITs. In the United States alone, based on our analyses using Clarivate's

ProcedureFinder data repository, we estimate approximately 9.5 million NITs were performed for the

diagnosis of CAD in 2023. However, the majority of these tests measure only surrogate markers for

CAD and are therefore often inaccurate leading to missed diagnosis or unnecessary invasive

procedures. By contrast, CCTA imaging combined with our Heartflow Platform provides a more

accurate and actionable NIT for CAD, driving rapid adoption. We believe this approach will ultimately

become the standard of care. Accordingly, based on our FORECAST randomized trial, our PROMISE

trial, the Wang paper and the Hoffman paper, we believe our market opportunity represents the

approximately 8.6 million patients non-invasively tested for CAD in 2023 that are indicated for our

Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and Heartflow Plaque Analysis products based on their stenosis and plaque

levels, respectively, representing a market value of approximately $5 billion in the United States

alone. While we have rapidly scaled the adoption of our Heartflow Platform to achieve $125.8 million

of revenue in 2024, we believe the Heartflow Platform analyzed only approximately 10% of U.S.

CCTA volumes and represented less than 1% of all NITs in 2023, highlighting a substantial runway for

growth. Looking ahead, we see the potential to expand both our geographic footprint and clinical

applications. Beyond symptomatic CAD, we believe our technology can play a pivotal role in risk

stratification and preventive therapy optimization for the approximately 200 million asymptomatic

individuals globally considered high risk for a cardiac event, based on data from the U.S. Census

Bureau, CDC, Eurostat, United Kingdom Office of National Statistics, the Yang paper and the

MacDonald paper.

• ***Robust and compelling portfolio of clinical evidence:*** We believe the Heartflow Platform is the

most extensively studied AI-enabled test for CAD. Our belief is grounded on our analyses, including

that the Heartflow Platform and its accuracy, clinical utility and economic benefits have been

evaluated in over 100 clinical studies and more than 130,000 patients, including our PRECISE and

FORECAST trials, each a large randomized controlled trial, with results published in over 600 peer-

reviewed clinical publications. Our studies, including the PRECISE, NXT and PACIFIC trials, have

consistently demonstrated that the Heartflow Platform is more accurate than traditional non-invasive

tests and highly concordant to invasive testing, reduces unnecessary invasive testing, and enables

physicians to optimize treatment and ultimately provide more efficient care. As a result, the clinical

evidence demonstrates that the Heartflow Platform reduces unnecessary invasive testing, and

enables physicians to make more informed revascularization decisions, delivering more efficient,

cost-effective care. For example, our PRECISE randomized controlled trial showed that our Heartflow

FFRCT Analysis was 78% more likely than traditional testing to identify patients in need of intervention

and 69% less likely to progress patients to unnecessary invasive testing, leading to 2x the yield of ICA

leading to revascularization such as percutaneous coronary intervention ("PCI") or coronary artery

bypass grafting ("CABG"), compared to standard care. This reduction in unnecessary diagnostic

procedures and higher rate of revascularization procedures represents a clinical benefit for patients

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

and significant economic benefit for providers. We believe that our extensive body of clinical evidence

will drive continued adoption, and we expect to continue to invest in evidence generation that will

expand the applicability of our Heartflow Platform into new indications.

• ***Established reimbursement coverage and favorable society support:*** Our rapid growth is

underpinned by a favorable reimbursement landscape and strong clinical guidelines that drive

adoption of the Heartflow Platform. Our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis is reimbursed under a dedicated

Category I CPT code, effective as of January 1, 2024, and has established coverage policies

encompassing approximately 99% of covered lives in the United States. In addition, a Category I CPT

code was also recently established for our Heartflow Plaque Analysis, set to take effect in January

2026. Heartflow Plaque Analysis is already covered by all seven local MAC regions, with five of the

seven MACs issuing final local coverage determinations ("LCD"). We expect to leverage our

experience in establishing commercial policies for Heartflow FFRCT Analysis to efficiently establish

commercial coverage for our Heartflow Plaque Analysis. In addition, CCTA combined with our

Heartflow FFRCT Analysis is supported by the AHA and ACC guidelines, with CCTA a Class 1, Level A

test and FFRCT a Class 2a, Level B test for the diagnosis of CAD in certain patients with stable or

acute chest pain and no known CAD. We believe our favorable reimbursement and society support

provides a strong foundation and tailwind for our continued growth.

• ***Unique and scalable AI, data and R&D capabilities:*** We designed our AI-powered software

platform to be high quality, highly scalable, integrate seamlessly with physician workflows and

improve as we ingest more data, and leverage that data to improve our algorithms' performance and

our business efficiency. Our proprietary technology stack includes secure data transfer software, a

scalable cloud database, a web and mobile interface, quality review tools and an AI algorithm pipeline

that delivers diagnostic accuracy, utility, workflow efficiency, and operational scalability. By harnessing

AI to process massive volumes of cases while maintaining a "human-in-the loop" quality control

process, where learnings are fed back into our algorithms to improve their performance and

efficiency, we have been able to rapidly grow our platform while delivering accurate, timely results for

physicians and patients. We have also built a substantial and growing data asset that has driven

ongoing refinement of our algorithms for more than 10 years with approximately 110 million annotated

CCTA images. Additionally, our bi-directional data sharing relationship with our customers enables us

to deliver even greater value by ensuring they benefit from ongoing feature additions, workflow

enhancements and performance improvements. Unlike traditional CAD diagnostic tools, our AI

platform can be updated with improved features, better performance and can improve from one of the

largest CCTA datasets globally, creating a competitive advantage that continues to grow over time.

We believe our differentiated AI, data and R&D capabilities and proven dedication to improvement

ensures that Heartflow remains at the forefront of precision coronary care.

• ***Experienced leadership team:*** Our senior management team consists of seasoned executives with

deep industry expertise across various disciplines, including biomedical and software engineering,

clinical evidence, medical technology and medical imaging, AI, data science and sales and marketing.

With backgrounds at leading medical technology companies, our leadership has a proven track

record of scaling businesses, securing market adoption and driving innovation.

The convergence of AI advancements, cutting-edge imaging technologies, and broad-based guideline

adoption is accelerating a shift toward more precise, personalized approaches to cardiovascular care. By

integrating anatomical and physiological insights, our technology enables physicians to tailor therapies

more effectively, optimizing treatment decisions and improving patient outcomes. With Heartflow FFRCT

Analysis reimbursement firmly established, growing physician acceptance, and a proven track record of

real-world impact, Heartflow is well-positioned to lead the transformation of coronary care on a global

scale.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**Our growth strategies**

We believe the following strategies will play a critical role in our continued growth:

• ***Expand adoption of our Heartflow Platform by new accounts:*** We believe that all accounts with

an active CCTA program would benefit from adopting the Heartflow Platform into their workflow in

order to improve efficiency and patient care. We estimate that as of December 31, 2023, there were

approximately 2,700 hospitals and outpatient facilities in the United States that perform CCTA, and

this target account base has grown at a 10% CAGR from 2018 to 2023, based on our analyses using

Clarivate's ProcedureFinder data repository. As of December 31, 2024, we have successfully

deployed our Heartflow Platform in more than 1,100 accounts in the United States. Our TSMs are

responsible for acquiring new accounts. Our TSMs engage with physicians to communicate the value

proposition of the Heartflow Platform, leveraging our large base of clinical evidence to extoll its clinical

and economic benefits. Once onboarded, providers typically reach utilization rates approaching 33%

of CCTAs eligible for Heartflow FFRCT Analysis. Unlike traditional sales models, our TSMs are not

required to support case coverage or ongoing account maintenance, allowing them to focus on new

account acquisition efficiently. We intend to drive further adoption by leveraging our existing 44 TSMs,

as of March 31, 2025, while selectively expanding our team to capture additional geographic

opportunities.

• ***Broaden awareness of the CCTA + Heartflow pathway to drive volume at existing accounts:***

While we have achieved significant commercial adoption to date, including 132,000 patients on our

Heartflow Platform in 2024 alone, we believe this represented less than 1% of our overall market

opportunity of 9.5 million total NITs, and approximately 10%, of current U.S. CCTA volumes. To

expand adoption, we are actively educating physicians on the AHA and ACC chest pain guidelines

that support CCTA plus Heartflow FFRCT Analysis as the preferred pathway for diagnosis and

management of CAD. Our commercial team includes TAMs who are responsible for educating the

cardiologists who refer patients to accounts in our installed base and driving increasing Heartflow

Platform volumes. These TAMs utilize our extensive clinical compendium to educate and train

physicians on the benefits of our platform. Similar to our TSMs, our TAM model is highly efficient and

scalable. We also invest in robust medical education, including peer-to-peer discussions,

symposiums, podium presentations, and other educational events. These initiatives, combined with

strong society support, our leading field presence, and continued technology investment, contribute to

the expansion of both the CCTA market and the CCTA + Heartflow pathway.

• ***Launch and drive adoption of our Heartflow Plaque Analysis product:*** We initiated limited market

education efforts for our second product, Heartflow Plaque Analysis, in the second half of 2023. We

believe there is broad recognition among the cardiology physician community of the importance of

quantifying and characterizing plaque composition as a key indicator of cardiovascular risk. Existing

clinical trials have demonstrated plaque volume and plaque composition correlate with heart attack

risk. There are also multiple pharmaceutical therapies that have proven to slow or halt plaque

progression and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. However, current non-invasive risk

assessment methods are often inadequate due to their reliance on manual, time-consuming, or

largely visual assessments, leaving physicians with limited actionable data for prescribing optimal

therapies. Our Heartflow Plaque Analysis fills this critical gap in care by enabling rapid and precise

quantification of plaque volume and composition at the vessel and patient level, down to the cubic

millimeter. We believe that broad commercial reimbursement coverage will be important for

widespread adoption of Heartflow Plaque Analysis and are working to secure coverage. In 2024, CMS

assigned Heartflow Plaque Analysis a Category I CPT Code, which will be effective as of January

2026, and as of December 2024, Heartflow Plaque Analysis is covered by all MACs. We intend to

leverage our learnings from the successful reimbursement coverage expansion and commercial

launch of Heartflow FFRCT Analysis to drive commercial coverage and adoption of Heartflow Plaque

Analysis. Since Heartflow Plaque Analysis runs on the same CCTA scan as Heartflow FFRCT

Analysis, we expect favorable operating and gross margin leverage as its adoption increases.

• ***Invest in additional clinical evidence to support adoption and expand our indications:*** We

believe we have developed the largest clinical evidence base supporting a non-invasive AI-powered

diagnostic for CAD and that our extensive evidence demonstrates the superior accuracy, clinical utility

and economic benefits of our Heartflow Platform relative to other non-invasive methods. We expect to

continue to invest in clinical evidence to extend our leadership position. For example, we are currently

conducting the DECIDE registry, a 20,000-patient study which aims to demonstrate how Heartflow

Plaque Analysis impacts physician decision-making. Beyond the commercialization of Heartflow

FFRCT Analysis and Heartflow Plaque Analysis in symptomatic CAD, we see a significant market

opportunity for our technologies in at-risk individuals who show no symptoms, a segment comprised

of approximately 200 million people globally, based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau, CDC,

Eurostat, United Kingdom Office of National Statistics, the Yang paper and the MacDonald paper. To

unlock this potential, we are continuing to evaluate new product opportunities and appropriate clinical

evidence supporting eventual regulatory approval, payor coverage and commercialization.

• ***Extend our technology leadership through continued investment in our platform:*** Our ongoing

research and development initiatives are focused on introducing products, features and

improvements to maximize customer value. We prioritize advancements in four key areas including:

improving our algorithms by leveraging extensive clinical data to improve accuracy and efficiency;

optimizing clinical utility to better support physicians in diagnosis, patient management, and treatment

planning; enhancing ease of use through seamless workflow integration to improve operational

efficiency; and expanding our platform's applications to serve a broader patient population. By

executing on these priorities, we aim to deepen engagement with existing customers, attract new

ones, and further solidify our leadership in AI-driven cardiovascular diagnostics.

• ***Leverage our platform to pursue adjacent and international markets:*** We believe our installed

base and deeply integrated platform technology approach allows us to add on new analysis and

insights within the same product experience. Our relationships with referring and imaging physicians

provide us with insights into unmet clinical and workflow needs, while our extensive database of

CCTA images and AI capabilities enable us to develop and integrate new algorithm-based solutions.

Additionally, while our current commercial focus is on the U.S. market, we have an existing presence

in the United Kingdom, European Union, Australia, Canada and Japan. In the future we may choose

to selectively expand our geographic footprint by strengthening our presence in existing international

markets, entering new international markets, or exploring adjacent market opportunities in the U.S.

and abroad.

**Market overview and opportunity**

***Overview of CAD***

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, with CAD being the most lethal form.

CAD occurs when plaque—a buildup of cholesterol, fat, calcium and other substances—accumulates on

the walls of the coronary arteries, restricting blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke.

This condition is responsible for half of all cardiovascular-related deaths globally. Key risk factors,

including high cholesterol, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity, and genetic

predisposition, accelerate plaque formation and destabilization. In the United States alone, the CDC

estimates that approximately 805,000 people suffer a heart attack each year. The CDC estimates that

approximately 1 in 20 adults over the age of 20 have CAD, which is approximately 12.5 million individuals

with CAD in the United States. The CDC also estimates that CAD killed 371,506 people in 2022. Given its

morbidity and mortality, CAD places a significant cost burden on the healthcare system and is projected to

reach $215 billion by 2035.

CAD is caused by the build-up of calcified and non-calcified plaque in the coronary arteries. This plaque

build-up results in a narrowing of the arteries, or stenosis, which may require an intervention if the

reduction in blood flow caused by the stenosis is determined to be clinically significant. Effectively

diagnosing CAD in order to inform the optimal treatment pathway requires a measurement of the blood

flow through the stenosis as well as quantifying the amount and type of plaque causing the stenosis. For

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

example, the foundational FAME 1 and FAME 2 randomized controlled trials showed that deferring

intervention is superior when blood flow, as measured by FFR, was greater than 0.80 but that when FFR

was below this same level, intervention was superior to optimal medical therapy. Similarly, a follow-up

analysis to the foundational SCOT-HEART trial showed that plaque volumes greater than 238 mm<sup>3</sup>

resulted in a 7x greater risk of heart attack than lower plaque volumes and higher concentrations of low-

attenuation plaque burden were associated with a nearly 5x greater risk of heart attack. This is due to the

unstable nature of low-attenuation plaque, which can result in a higher risk of rupture leading to occlusion

of coronary blood flow. Based on these trials, the cardiology community has recognized the importance of

accurately measuring FFR values and characterizing plaque, and has supported this perspective with

clinical guidelines that stratify treatment recommendations based on FFR values and plaque metrics.

***Traditional methods for the non-invasive diagnosis of CAD and their limitations***

When patients present with symptoms of CAD, such as chest pain, they are typically referred for a NIT.

There are two primary types of NITs: stress-based tests, which measure surrogate markers for CAD to

infer the presence of heart disease based on blood perfusion, or CCTA, which directly images the

patient's coronary arteries. Based on the output of a patient's NIT, the imaging physician and managing

physician determine the appropriate next step which can include sending the patient home with only

lifestyle modifications if the disease is not determined to be significant, initiating pharmaceutical therapy if

there is assumed plaque burden without significant stenosis, or sending the patient to catheterization lab

for intervention if there is significant stenosis.

When appropriately diagnosed and managed, CAD can be effectively treated with well-established

therapeutics and devices. These therapeutics, which include statins, PCSK-9s and GLP-1s, among

others, have been proven to effectively manage CAD by reducing plaque progression, changing plaque

composition, and reducing the risks of a major adverse cardiovascular event. Similarly, when indicated,

procedures to open the arteries, including percutaneous coronary intervention with intravascular

lithotripsy, atherectomy and/or stenting, and coronary artery bypass grafting, have been shown over

decades to be highly efficacious in reducing mortality risk and relieving the symptoms of CAD.

*Stress tests*

Stress-based NITs include SPECT, PET and stress echocardiography. These tests use imaging to

evaluate heart function under exercise or pharmacologically-induced stress. The tests image the heart

muscles and identify the differences in blood perfusion to the myocardium between the rest and stress

state images to infer the presence of CAD. Stress-based NITs rely on surrogate markers of CAD to

deduce the disease in the coronary artery without actually assessing the coronary arteries or the disease

itself. According to the 2010 Patel paper, which determined patterns of non-invasive testing and the

diagnostic yield of catheterization among patients with suspected coronary artery disease, these NITs are

inaccurate a majority of the time, and often result in either missed CAD diagnoses or unnecessary

invasive procedures as demonstrated by our PRECISE trial. In the PRECISE trial, among those who

underwent invasive catheterization, in the Usual Care arm (in which most patients initially underwent NIT)

there was 60% incidence of finding no obstructive coronary disease upon catheterization, whereas in the

Precision Care arm this incidence was only 20%. Finding no obstructive disease indicates that, in

retrospect, the procedure was avoidable. As for missed CAD diagnoses, 5.2% of patients in the Usual

Care arm had diagnosis made of CAD requiring revascularization, where 9.2% of patients in the Precision

Care arm had such diagnosis made. This indicates missed diagnosis of significant CAD in 4% of Usual

Care patients, and in approximately 43% of patients with significant CAD.

As a result, approximately 20–50% of patients who undergo stress-based NITs go home with false

negatives, or undetected CAD that should have required an intervention, based on the Nakanishi paper

and the Yokota paper. In addition, based on the 2014 Patel paper, up to 55% of patients receive false

positives and are sent to the cardiac catheterization lab for an invasive diagnostic angiography when an

intervention was never needed exposing patients to unnecessary risks including vascular injury and

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

bleeding complications. This results in significant additional costs to the healthcare system and poor

patient experience.

![business1a.jpg](business1a.jpg)

*Figure 3: Traditional non-invasive tests. Left: Stress echocardiogram. Right: SPECT and PET*

*CCTA*

CCTA is a high-resolution 3D imaging method that uses X-rays to produce detailed pictures of the heart's

arteries and other structures. CT imaging itself has been widely available and its use in cardiology is

growing rapidly. The analyses performed by our Heartflow Platform rely on CCTA images from third-party

CT manufacturers. Because CCTA images are used across multiple medical practices, by different

medical professionals and others, CT scanners have historically and currently output CCTA images in

standard file formats rather than proprietary formats. In October 2021, the AHA and ACC elevated CCTA

to a first line Class 1, Level A test in the guidelines for certain patients with stable or acute chest pain and

no known CAD, above stress testing which is Class 1, Level B. This made CCTA a first line test for CAD

owing to the strong evidence supporting its differentiated clinical utility. As of December 31, 2023, we

estimate there were approximately 2,700 sites with an active CCTA program in the United States.

Similarly, CCTA now has guideline support from the European Society of Cardiology Clinical Practice

guidelines on Chronic Coronary Syndromes (1B), is included in the National Institute for Health and Care

Excellence guidelines in the United Kingdom, and in the Japanese Circulation Society 2022 Guidelines in

Japan. We believe these guidelines further support the growth of CCTA tests outside the United States

and specifically in the European Union, United Kingdom and Japan.

Unlike stress-based NITs that rely on indirect functional assessments of heart muscle activity to infer

CAD, CCTA enables direct visualization of the patient's coronary anatomy and can allow for a

comprehensive assessment of coronary stenosis and plaque burden. CCTA has been clinically

demonstrated in the SCOT-HEART trial to have the highest diagnostic performance of all traditional non-

invasive imaging tests for CAD.

The foundational SCOT-HEART randomized controlled trial, highlighted the clinical superiority of CCTA

over traditional stress-based NITs. The study found a significant 41% reduction in the rate of death or

non-fatal heart attacks after five years in patients who underwent CCTA evaluations. The study also

demonstrated that patients in the CCTA group were more likely to be started on lipid lowering, anti-

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

hypertensive, anti-platelet, and anti-anginal medication, which improved outcomes in patients with

disease that may not have been detected with stress-based testing alone.

![business2b.jpg](business2b.jpg)

*Figure 4: CCTA image*

With the elevation of CCTA to a Class 1, Level A guideline recommendation by the AHA and ACC

guidelines in 2021, CCTA test volumes have grown at a 22% CAGR from 2018 to 2023 while SPECT

volumes have grown at a 2% CAGR over the same time period, based on our analyses using Clarivate's

ProcedureFinder data repository. We believe CCTA test volumes will continue to grow rapidly, ultimately

replacing other NIT methods based on increasing awareness of the superior diagnostic accuracy,

workflow efficiencies and clinical guideline recommendations. Furthermore, favorable reimbursement

trends are expected to accelerate adoption. In 2025, CMS reimbursement levels for hospital outpatient

CCTA are set to increase by 104% based on the OPPS final rule, published in the Federal Register on

November 27, 2024.

***Catheterization lab-based invasive diagnostics for CAD***

Invasive methods of diagnosing CAD are typically performed in the catheterization lab and provide highly

accurate assessments of blood-flow and plaque. However, they are not practical or cost-effective as a

first-line diagnostic due to procedural risks, patient discomfort, as well as cost and availability of

catheterization lab time. As a result, these technologies are utilized downstream in the catheterization lab

after a patient has been identified as having suspected CAD based on an NIT and referred for an

interventional procedure. Because of the invasive nature of these tests, they serve as valuable reference

points for validating the accuracy of our technology, however, we do not directly compete with them.

These invasive catheter-based procedures, which include FFR and Intravascular ultrasound ("IVUS"),

have been the reference standard for obtaining FFR values and assessing plaque burden for decades.

FFR requires inserting a pressure wire into the coronary arteries under stress conditions to assess the

severity of blood flow restriction and IVUS uses a catheter-based ultrasound probe to directly image

plaque within the arteries.

**Our symptomatic CAD market opportunity**

We estimate our current market opportunity in the United States for our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and

Heartflow Plaque Analysis is approximately $5 billion. Based on our analyses using Clarivate's

ProcedureFinder data repository, we estimate that there were approximately 9.5 million NITs performed

for the diagnosis of CAD in the United States in 2023. This includes an estimated 6.8 million SPECTs, 0.8

million PETs, 1.2 million stress echocardiograms, and 0.7 million CCTAs, based on our analyses using

Clarivate's ProcedureFinder data repository.

(2)ZS NIT for CAD Market Assessment, Survey of 246 HCPs and 81 administrators, December 2024

*Figure 5: Pie chart of U.S. non-invasive test market*

CCTA testing volumes have grown 22% between 2018 and 2023, based on our analyses using Clarivate's

ProcedureFinder data repository, and we believe they will continue to outpace the broader NIT market

growth driven by the recently established Class 1, Level A guidelines, due to superior clinical utility

compared to stress-based tests, and improved reimbursement. Of the approximately 9.5 million NITs

performed for the diagnosis of CAD in the United States in 2023, we believe, based on our FORECAST

randomized trial and the Wang paper, there were approximately 8.6 million patients that were addressable

for CCTA after accounting for layered testing due to the inconclusive nature of traditional tests and the

need for multiple re-tests and contraindications to CCTA.

Our Heartflow Platform, which requires a CCTA image from a CT scanner to perform its analysis,

significantly improves the clinical utility of CCTA and addresses the limitations of traditional non-invasive

CAD testing by combining existing CCTA images with our AI algorithms to provide actionable data on

blood flow, stenosis, plaque volume and plaque composition. This delivers superior clinical utility relative

to other NITs and compelling economic benefits, which are supported by extensive clinical evidence. As a

result, we believe the CCTA + Heartflow pathway will become the standard of care for the non-invasive

diagnosis of CAD over time.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

*Addressing the limitations of traditional CAD testing*

![business4fa.jpg](business4fa.jpg)

*Figure 6: Image of SPECT test result on left; image of Heartflow FFRCT Analysis result on right*

Our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis is reimbursed for use on any CCTA showing 40% to 90% stenosis, which,

based on our FORECAST randomized trial, we estimate to be approximately 33% of all CCTAs annually.

We believe that CCTA + Heartflow FFRCT Analysis therefore is applicable to 33% of the NIT market and a

majority of patients experiencing acute chest pain, which represents 3.1 million patients and an estimated

market opportunity of approximately $3.3 billion in the United States. Our Heartflow Plaque Analysis is

reimbursed for plaque identified on CCTA with 1% to 69% stenosis, which, based on our PROMISE trial

and the Hoffmann paper, we estimate to cover approximately 60% of all CCTAs annually and a majority of

patients experiencing acute chest pain. We believe that CCTA + Heartflow Plaque Analysis is therefore

applicable to 60% of the NIT market, which represents 5.5 million patients and an estimated market

opportunity of an incremental approximately $1.7 billion in the United States.

While our current focus is on the United States and the Heartflow Platform has been cleared by the FDA

(K213857), our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis has commercial presence and regulatory approval in the United

Kingdom, European Union, Australia, Canada and Japan. The Heartflow Platform has also been cleared

by the equivalent regulatory authorities in Israel, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and licensed in

Bahrain. In the future we may expand our international presence beyond these markets and extend our

platform to additional indications.

***Asymptomatic CAD market opportunity***

For asymptomatic patients, current clinical practice guidelines (Class 1, Level B) recommend using risk

factors such as age, sex, smoking status, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes, among others, to

calculate a risk score, called an ASCVD score, for assessing overall cardiovascular event risk and guiding

preventive therapy. However, this approach does not account for the actual disease state of an

individual's arteries leading to imprecise risk assessment and suboptimal management. As a result,

despite the widespread availability of proven, preventative pharmaceutical treatments, up to 25% of heart

attacks occur in those with no symptoms and approximately 50% of sudden heart deaths occur without

any prior diagnosis or testing according to the Ni paper.

We believe there is a significant opportunity for our Heartflow Platform to materially improve risk

stratification and patient management. Clinical data supports our belief that AI-based risk calculation

predicated on the combination of individual-specific CAD measures enables more accurate and effective

management and preventative measures as compared to those based on an ASCVD score alone. For

example, our EMERALD 2 study showed that combining certain CCTA-derived quantitative features from

coronary physiology via Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and from plaque metrics via Heartflow Plaque Analysis

predicted future plaque rupture more accurately than CCTA alone. Serial AI-based risk assessment of

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

asymptomatic patients can also capture temporal changes in disease state and cardiovascular risk, which

can be used to personalize preventative medical therapy over time. We estimate that there are

approximately 200 million patients globally with a high risk of cardiovascular events, of which 71 million

live in the United States, based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau, CDC, Eurostat, United Kingdom

Office of National Statistics, the Yang paper and the MacDonald paper. In the future, we believe certain

sub-segments of this population may be appropriate candidates for our platform.

Beyond the commercialization of Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and Heartflow Plaque Analysis in symptomatic

CAD, we see a significant market opportunity for our technologies in at-risk individuals who show no

symptoms, a segment comprised of approximately 200 million people globally. To unlock this potential, we

are continuing to evaluate new product opportunities and appropriate clinical evidence supporting

eventual regulatory approval, payor coverage and commercialization.

*Our technology*

Heartflow enhances CCTA, the most advanced non-invasive imaging modality for assessing CAD, with

AI-powered analysis to deliver more accurate and clinically actionable insights for diagnosing and

managing CAD. The Heartflow Platform applies deep learning, an advanced form of AI, and

computational fluid dynamics to CCTA images to create a personalized 3D model of a patient's heart

based on a single CCTA image. This model provides actionable insights into blood flow, stenosis, plaque

volume and plaque composition allowing precise diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment planning –

without the need for an invasive procedure.

The CCTA + Heartflow pathway addresses the limitations of traditional non-invasive tests that only assess

indirect measures for coronary disease and therefore result in higher rates of false negative and false

positive CAD diagnoses, as demonstrated by our PRECISE trial. We believe the differentiated accuracy

and clinical utility of the CCTA + Heartflow pathway will continue to support our growth and advance the

standard for the non-invasive diagnosis and management of CAD.

We designed our AI-powered software platform to be highly scalable, seamlessly integrate into existing

physician workflows for diagnosing CAD, and improve as we ingest more data over time. By leveraging AI

to process massive volumes of cases and a "human-in-the loop" quality control process, where learnings

are fed back into our algorithms to improve their performance and efficiency, we have rapidly scaled our

platform to deliver accurate, timely results to benefit physicians and patients alike. Our cloud-based

technology has enabled us to rapidly scale to an installed base of more than 1,100 accounts in the United

States as of December 31, 2024, reflecting a CAGR of 44% from December 31, 2021. We have also built

a substantial and growing data asset that has driven refinement of our algorithms for over 10 years and

as of March 31, 2025, we have analyzed and annotated approximately 110 million annotated CCTA

images. Additionally, through our bi-directional data sharing relationship with our customers we ensure

platform enhancements, delivering immediate and tangible benefits through new features, workflow

efficiencies, and improved performance.

***The CCTA + Heartflow pathway***

When a patient presents with symptoms of CAD and their physician follows the AHA and ACC Class 1,

Level A chest pain guidelines by referring the patient for a CCTA, the patient will undergo standard CCTA

imaging at the relevant hospital or outpatient facility. At Heartflow-enabled accounts, CCTA images are

securely transmitted directly to our cloud-based platform through our embedded software in the hospital

or outpatient imaging center. Leveraging proprietary AI and advanced computational fluid dynamics, we

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

create a personalized, 3D digital model of the patient's coronary arteries, unlocking critical insights

beyond what is visible on standard imaging.

![business5da.jpg](business5da.jpg)

*Figure 7: The CCTA + Heartflow pathway*

Our Heartflow Platform includes a suite of innovative, AI-powered products designed to deliver

comprehensive coronary artery assessment:

1)**Heartflow RoadMap Analysis:** Coronary anatomy modeling that enables clinicians to interpret CCTA

accurately, efficiently and consistently while identifying whether the patient requires further evaluation

with our other products.

2)**Heartflow FFRCT Analysis:** Accurate 3D model of blood flow that identifies clinically-significant CAD

at the lesion level to inform whether the patient requires revascularization and identifies which lesions

should be addressed.

3)**Heartflow Plaque Analysis:** Precise quantification of plaque volume and plaque composition down

to the cubic millimeter to help assess risk and determine optimal medical treatment.

4)**Heartflow PCI Planner:** Will provide advanced visualization and clinical insights to optimize

revascularization strategies, guide device selection, enhance procedural efficiency, and improve

patient care. We expect to launch this product in 2026.

These analyses provide the critical complementary data that are lacking from other non-invasive tests but

that we believe physicians need to diagnose, assess risk and make optimal, patient-specific decisions

about medical and interventional therapies.

*Figure 8: The Heartflow Portfolio*

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Our Heartflow Platform seamlessly integrates into our customer workflows, providing clinically actionable

insights directly to the account in a median turnaround time of 1.6 hours, which we believe is sufficient for

the workflows of our customers. We deliver the Heartflow RoadMap Analysis automatically to the imaging

cardiologist or radiologist for every acceptable CCTA patient at our accounts to help drive more efficient

CCTA interpretation, workflows and revascularization strategies. In conjunction with the Heartflow

RoadMap Analysis, we also provide physicians with a case list that catalogs all their CCTAs and identifies

the cases where our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis, Heartflow Plaque Analysis or both would enable them to

accurately diagnose clinically significant CAD and plan treatment. With a single click, Physicians can

access these analyses on-demand, and we bill the account directly for each product selected. Because

Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and Heartflow Plaque Analysis have distinct clinical indications and dedicated

billing codes, our workflow helps ensure physicians can order the most appropriate analyses for each

patient, supporting both high-quality care and efficient reimbursement processes.

**Heartflow RoadMap Analysis**: The Heartflow RoadMap Analysis provides a

![picture1number3.jpg](picture1number3.jpg)

highly intuitive anatomic visualization of the patient's coronary anatomy based

on CCTA images. It rapidly orients the imaging physician to clinically relevant

areas of the patient anatomy and provides a preview of what they will review in

the native CCTA images to aid the physician in accurately, efficiently and

consistently identifying stenosis in the coronary arteries. Heartflow RoadMap

Analysis supports more efficient radiology workflow, improving CCTA read

times by 25% and increasing consistency between reviewing physicians by

approximately 40%, as demonstrated in our SMART-CT study. Physicians use

Heartflow Roadmap Analysis as a first-line assessment tool along with CCTA

interpretation to determine whether to order our more detailed Heartflow

FFRCT Analysis or Heartflow Plaque Analysis reports. The Heartflow RoadMap

Analysis was cleared by the FDA in October 2022, and we began providing it

to our customers in the second quarter of 2023. We generally provide

Heartflow RoadMap Analysis to accounts as an integrated feature to enhance

the efficiency and consistency of their CCTA programs and it is not a stand-

alone product. We believe the efficiency that Heartflow RoadMap Analysis provides our customers has

resulted in enhanced customer loyalty and retention.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**Heartflow FFRCT Analysis:**Our flagship product, Heartflow FFRCT Analysis,

![ffrctanalysis2.jpg](ffrctanalysis2.jpg)

consists of a patient-specific, interactive, 3D anatomical reconstruction of the

coronary anatomy that identifies clinically significant CAD at every point in the

major coronary arteries to determine the need for intervention. The model is

color-coded along vessel length, indicating Heartflow FFRCT Analysis values

which assist the physician in rapidly and precisely assessing blood flow

through the coronary arteries. Our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis has the highest

diagnostic accuracy for a non-invasive CAD test and has demonstrated a high

level of concordance to invasive FFR, as seen in our PRECISE, NXT and

PACIFIC trials. Our product can measure the FFR value and determine

whether a lesion is clinically significant – a "clinically significant lesion" means

an FFR value of 0.80 or below. Because FFR values are the guideline directed

measure to determine the need for invasive revascularization, this data offers

a more clinically accurate, non-invasive basis for determining the need for

interventional treatment.

Current AHA and ACC guidelines support CCTA + Heartflow FFRCT Analysis as a more efficient care

pathway. The guidelines designate CCTA as a Class 1, Level A test for CAD in certain patients with stable

or acute chest pain and no known CAD, with our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis given a Class 2a, Level B

recognition to help physicians guide patient treatment decisions. This CCTA + Heartflow FFRCT Analysis

pathway enables physicians to identify lesions that require revascularization in less than two hours, and

guidelines recommend patients with positive Heartflow FFRCT Analysisfindings be sent directly to the

cardiac catheterization lab for possible treatment. Comparatively, AHA and ACC guidelines provide stress-

based testing a Class 1, Level B recommendation, suggesting patients with suspected CAD and positive

stress-based test findings first initiate guideline directed medical therapy. Only if symptoms are not

resolved by medical therapy, which can last weeks or months, are patients then sent to the cardiac

catheterization lab.

![business10da.jpg](business10da.jpg)

*Figure 10: AHA and ACC chest pain guidelines*

Our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis is indicated for patients with stenosis levels between 40% and 90% in any

vessel because a physician's review of a CCTA alone may not appropriately identify the need for

treatment in these cases. For example, in the figure below, two patients with >70% stenosis based on

CCTA alone would likely be referred for invasive coronary angiography ("ICA"). However, Heartflow FFRCT

Analysis reveals that while Patient A has an FFRCT value >0.80—indicating no need for intervention—

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Patient B has an FFRCT value <0.80 and should be referred for revascularization. As of March 31, 2025,

Heartflow FFRCT Analysis represented 99% of our total revenue.

**Heartflow Plaque Analysis**: Heartflow Plaque Analysis transforms coronary

![prospectussummary6a.jpg](prospectussummary6a.jpg)

plaque assessment from a time-consuming and variable manual process,

which is seldom clinically used, into a rapid, automated, and highly precise AI-

driven solution. The Heartflow Plaque Analysis automatically provides a

comprehensive 3D assessment of a patient's coronary plaque, including a

characterization of plaque types and quantification of plaque volumes at every

point in the major coronary arteries. The Heartflow Plaque Analysis has been

validated against the reference standard of invasive IVUS and shown to have

a 95% agreement with IVUS in quantifying total coronary plaque volume in

our REVEALPLAQUE study. Moreover, our current findings from the DECIDE

registry show the Heartflow Plaque Analysis led to medical management

change in over half of patients beyond CCTA alone. Because coronary plaque

volume is a strong predictor of a patient's risk of having a heart attack

regardless of ASCVD risk score, coronary artery calcium ("CAC") score, or

stenosis, this data offers incremental predictive power over risk factors and

stenosis alone and can aid the physician in optimizing medical management. Furthermore, only quantified

plaque analysis based on CCTA can assess non-calcified plaque, which has a higher risk for causing a

heart attack as compared to calcified plaque. In contrast, while CAC scores also use a CT scan to

measure plaque, they estimate CAD risk based solely on calcified plaque. We believe that our Heartflow

Plaque Analysis is applicable to the approximately 60% of CCTA patients identified as having 1% to 69%

stenosis and adds significant value over review of CCTA alone, which is unable to precisely quantify or

characterize the type or volume of plaque that would impact a physician's treatment plan.

***Heartflow Plaque Analysis guides medical management***

![business13da.jpg](business13da.jpg)

*Figure 12: Plaque is critical to guide medical management, regardless of FFRCT results*

In addition to its comprehensive plaque assessment capabilities, Heartflow Plaque Analysis incorporates

a nomogram derived from an extensive international cohort of over 11,000 patients. This nomogram

stratifies coronary atherosclerotic plaque volumes by age and sex, providing physicians with a valuable

reference to contextualize individual patient data against population-based benchmarks. By leveraging

this tool, clinicians can more precisely assess a patient's CAD risk, facilitating personalized treatment

strategies. This integration of large-scale data enhances the actionable insights delivered by Heartflow

Plaque Analysis, supporting more informed clinical decision-making.

Our Heartflow Plaque Analysis was cleared by the FDA in October 2022. We began our limited market

education efforts in the second half of 2023, and we expect to broaden our market education efforts as

payor coverage for Heartflow Plaque Analysis increases. We also anticipate our Heartflow Plaque

Evernorth, which provides coverage guidelines to leading commercial health insurers, effective October 1,

2025. **Heartflow PCI Planner**: Heartflow PCI Planner, which we expect to launch in 2026, will enable pre-PCI

assessment of coronary anatomy, lesion-specific physiology and plaque localization through an

interactive 3D model, combined in a single interface. The tool will provide interventional cardiologists with

advanced visualization and clinical insights to help answer critical questions for revascularization

strategies, such as which lesions to treat, how to treat them, the complexity of PCI, the need for calcium

modification, what ancillary tool to use and how to optimize stent quantity, size and placement. We expect

Heartflow PCI Planner to offer procedural efficiency through advanced preparation, improved patient care

by ensuring optimal treatment at the right time and increased clinician confidence with detailed pre-

procedure knowledge. We plan to provide Heartflow PCI Planner to accounts as an integrated feature to

enhance procedural efficiency, not as a stand-alone product.

***Key benefits of our Heartflow Platform***

We believe the unique features of our technology allow us to offer superior clinical utility and economic

value to our customers and the broader healthcare system. The key benefits offered by our Heartflow

Platform include:

• **More accurate non-invasive test for CAD:** Our Heartflow products have been clinically validated to

provide a more accurate non-invasive assessment of blood flow, plaque characterization and plaque

volume compared to traditional non-invasive tests, parameters that have been established to be

highly clinically relevant. Our prospective, core-lab adjudicated NXT trial demonstrated that Heartflow

FFRCT Analysis is able to accurately calculate lesion-specific FFR values with a high level of

concordance to the invasive reference standard of FFR. In addition, our retrospective, core-lab

adjudicated PACIFIC trial demonstrated that our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis offered superior diagnostic

accuracy relative to CCTA alone as well as SPECT and PET. Individually and collectively, these

studies support the differentiated level of precision that Heartflow FFRCT Analysis offers relative to

other non-invasive tests as well as its clinical reliability. Similarly, our prospective REVEALPLAQUE

study validated our Heartflow Plaque Analysis relative to the invasive reference standard of IVUS,

demonstrating 95% agreement for overall plaque volume and excellent agreement in identifying

plaque volume and sub-types at the lesion level.

• **More informed assessments and personalized care:** Our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis has been

clinically demonstrated in multiple studies to positively impact physician decisions on intervention and

patient management. The ADVANCE prospective registry which included over 5,000 patients globally

showed that in 67% of cases physicians changed their patient management plans, predominantly with

respect to revascularization, based on review of Heartflow FFRCT Analysis relative to CCTA alone.

Similarly, our DECODE study, which included 100 patients, demonstrated that in 66% of cases

physicians changed preventative medical therapy plans based on a review of Heartflow Plaque

Analysis relative to CCTA alone. Further supporting the value of our Heartflow Plaque Analysis

product, among patients with a CAC score of 0, physicians revised their management plan to a more

aggressive therapy approach in nearly 50% of cases after reviewing our Heartflow Plaque Analysis

report. In 63% of cases in the DECODE study, physicians increased the dosage of the patient's

medication, indicating that patients were being under-treated based on conventional non-invasive

testing methods that fail to both quantify and characterize plaque volumes.

• **Superior economic efficiency:** Our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis has been clinically demonstrated to

reduce rates of false positive CAD diagnoses relative to other non-invasive tests and more accurately

identify the patients that actually need an invasive procedure. Our PRECISE prospective randomized

controlled trial which enrolled over 2,100 patients and compared Heartflow FFRCT Analysis with

standard of care, demonstrated that our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis was 78% more likely to identify

patients in need of revascularization and showed a 69% reduction in false positives, or unnecessary

ICA tests. It also showed 2x the yield of ICA leading to a revascularization procedure such as a PCI or

CABG. These are economically important procedures for our customers which, when done in place of

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

a diagnostic only catheterization, result in more efficient use of valuable cardiac catheterization lab

facilities and staff time. As a result, our calculations based on the PRECISE trial indicate that net

average cardiac catheterization lab revenue increased 20%.

• **Improved workflow:** Our Heartflow RoadMap Analysis offers significant workflow benefits, including

improving workflow efficiency by reducing CCTA interpretation times. Our SMART-CT study

demonstrated that the use of our Heartflow RoadMap Analysis reduced read time by approximately

25%. In addition to reducing read times, our Heartflow RoadMap Analysis enhances consistency

across a radiology program resulting in a more than 40% increase in inter-reader agreement. Given

the intense demands on radiologist time resulting from an increasing number of images to review on a

daily basis, we believe this added efficiency and consistency strengthens the competitive

differentiation of our platform.

• **Enhanced interventional treatment planning:** Once the patient is diagnosed with clinically

significant CAD and referred to the catheterization lab for an intervention, our Heartflow Platform

provides information that is useful to interventional cardiologists in planning for the most efficient

treatment based on individual anatomy and disease state.The Heartflow Platform enables early,

detailed pre-operative planning, allowing physicians to triage patients to the most appropriate site of

service—whether a hospital-based catheterization lab or an outpatient interventional center. By

identifying the complexity and severity of disease in advance, our technology ensures that high-risk

patients receive care in fully equipped facilities, while lower-risk cases can be efficiently managed in

outpatient settings, reducing strain on hospital resources. Heartflow's 3D model provides a precise

preview of the anatomy corresponding to specific views used in invasive catheterizations. Heartflow

FFRCT Analysis and Heartflow Plaque Analysis provide quantitative and visual insights on lesion

severity, plaque burden and type, and hemodynamic significance, which enable more precise pre-

selection of interventional tools. This allows catheterization labs to be better prepared with the

necessary guidewires, catheters, and adjunctive devices before the procedure, thereby reducing

inefficiencies. With growing demand for complex structural heart procedures—such as transcatheter

aortic valve replacement, left atrial appendage closure, and transcatheter mitral interventions—

catheterization lab capacity is increasingly a constraint for hospitals. By reducing unnecessary

diagnostic angiograms and increasing the efficiency of PCI planning, we believe the Heartflow

Platform frees up catheterization lab time for these higher-acuity, resource-intensive procedures.

• **Better patient and provider experience:** By leveraging a single CCTA for all of our products,

patients complete their test in approximately 20 minutes with significantly lower radiation exposure

compared to nuclear imaging tests such as SPECT and PET that take multiple hours and require

radioactive tracers to be injected into the bloodstream. A fundamental challenge with traditional

stress-based testing is the lack of a definitive diagnosis, which often results in a cascade of follow-up

tests. Stress tests frequently produce inconclusive or false-positive results, requiring additional

imaging studies such as cardiac catheterization to confirm or rule out disease. This layered testing

approach prolongs the diagnostic journey, delays appropriate treatment, and adds unnecessary costs

and inconvenience for patients. The Heartflow Platform offers an entirely digital and non-invasive

experience that better serves both patients and providers. The CCTA + Heartflow Pathway provides a

fulsome array of insights with only a single patient exam. All results can then be viewed and

distributed digitally to all of the patient's care providers. In addition, our platform offers the flexibility to

add new visualizations, insights and updates as the technology evolves, and physicians can receive

the benefits of these updates conveniently through the same software platform. For example, when

Heartflow RoadMap Analysis and Heartflow Plaque Analysis were introduced, our accounts were able

to access these technologies through the same connection infrastructure and platform that they

utilized for Heartflow FFRCT Analysis without the need to buy new equipment or establish new

connections.

***Our production process***

Our production process involves a sophisticated and highly refined system that combines advanced

machine learning algorithms with "human-in-the loop" quality control process, where learnings are fed

back into our algorithms to improve their performance and efficiency. After the CCTA test is complete, the

patient's images are securely transferred to our cloud-based system through our established software that

integrates directly into the account's infrastructure.

When the images arrive, we leverage multiple machine learning algorithms which have been trained from

a database of millions of annotated CCTA images to precisely segment CCTA data and extract patient-

specific 3D anatomy, which includes the coronary tree, myocardium and other anatomic features. The

quality of CT images and the anatomy extracted by our algorithms is inspected through propriety software

that guides quality-oriented production analysts through each step to review and potentially correct the

segmentation, as needed. Our machine learning algorithms then utilize any analyst inputs to generate a

final 3D model of the coronary vessels. Our algorithms then compute stenosis, plaque volumes and

plaque characteristics as well as blood flow simulation with computational fluid dynamics over the entire

coronary tree. The simulated blood flow and pressures allow calculation of quantitative Heartflow FFRCT

Analysis values at every point on the coronary tree. Once complete, our Heartflow RoadMap Analysis,

Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and Heartflow Plaque Analysis are securely delivered directly to the physician in

multiple formats: an interactive web experience where they can explore the data in detail, PDF

summaries, and direct delivery into the electronic medical record.

The corrections and changes from the analyst quality inspection step are stored in a database as labels

for training our algorithms. New and improved versions of our algorithms using the latest machine

learning methodologies are trained with incrementally more labels and released over time and

incorporated into our platform. The core algorithms for the 3D coronary anatomic model and Heartflow

FFRCT Analysis are now on their 3<sup>rd</sup> generation with improvements over time. This iterative approach of

combining improved algorithms with human quality control processes continues to enhance the accuracy

and efficiency of our technology.

We have also invested significantly in automating our production process through improved algorithm

performance, visualization, and internal workflow enhancements, which have materially reduced our

analyst processing times from 69 minutes in 2021 to 26 minutes in the fourth quarter of 2024, significantly

enhancing our margin profile.

***Our data security***

Our Heartflow Platform relies on industry-leading security controls, including encryption at rest and in

transit, multi-factor and single-sign on authentication, granular authorization and a secure development

lifecycle. We have designed the Heartflow Platform to de-identify data for processing, ensuring the most

identifiable sensitive data (including PHI) remains segregated, encrypted, and within source regions,

limiting privacy and security risk. Our commitment to information security is demonstrated by our

HITRUST, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 Type II certifications.

***Our clinical results and economic evidence***

We believe the Heartflow Platform is the most studied AI-enabled test for CAD. The accuracy, clinical

utility and economic benefits of our Heartflow Platform have been evaluated in over 100 clinical studies

and more than 130,000 patients, including our PRECISE and FORECAST trials, each a large randomized

controlled trial, with results published in over 600 peer-reviewed clinical publications. Collectively, this

extensive body of clinical evidence has supported regulatory approvals for our products, established

broad payor coverage and society guideline inclusion for our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis, and is driving

rapid commercial adoption of our portfolio of products. We have sponsored 50 of the 100 clinical studies

and are continuing to invest in evidence that highlights the clinical utility and economic benefits of our

Heartflow Plaque Analysis to support expansion of payor coverage and commercial adoption. In the future

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

we may also invest in clinical studies of the Heartflow Platform to expand indications to broader

populations.

Our clinical programs have been focused on (i) validating the accuracy and reproducibility of our product

offerings relative to invasive reference standards and non-invasive alternatives, (ii) establishing the

differentiated clinical utility of our products relative to non-invasive alternatives, and (iii) demonstrating the

economic benefits associated with our products including reduced costs for payors and improved

efficiency for providers. Our studies, including the PRECISE, NXT and PACIFIC trials, have consistently

demonstrated that the Heartflow Platform is more accurate than traditional non-invasive tests and highly

concordant to invasive testing, reduces unnecessary invasive testing, and enables physicians to optimize

treatment and ultimately provide more efficient care. The "p-values" noted below indicate the measure of

the study's "statistical significance," which refers to the likelihood that a result or relationship is caused by

something other than random chance or error. The "p-value" indicates the probability value that the

results observed in a study were due to chance alone. A p-value of < 0.05 is generally considered

statistically significant, meaning that the probability of the results occurring by chance alone is less than

five percent. The lower the p-value, the less likely that the results observed were random.

None of the studies discussed below that collected adverse event data related to the Heartflow Platform

reported adverse events related to the Heartflow Platform.

***Our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis***

<u>Accuracy and reproducibility</u>: Numerous foundational clinical trials in cardiology, including the FAME 1

and FAME 2 RCTs have demonstrated that FFR values are the most accurate predictors of the need for

intervention in patients with CAD. Key clinical studies that have supported the accuracy and

reproducibility of Heartflow FFRCT Analysis relative to invasive FFR testing and non-invasive alternatives

include:

• ***NXT (2014):*** Our Company-sponsored NXT trial was the was the basis for de novo 510(k) FDA

clearance of Heartflow FFRCT Analysis. It was a prospective, blinded, core-lab adjudicated trial in

which CCTA was performed prior to non-emergent ICA in stable patients with suspected CAD.

Heartflow FFRCT Analysis values based on the CCTA were compared to invasive FFR values. The trial

also compared the efficacy of Heartflow FFRCT Analysis relative to CCTA alone for predicting FFR

values. NXT studied 254 patients who were scheduled to undergo clinically indicated ICA and who

had CCTA performed within 60 days before ICA or who agreed to undergo CCTA within 60 days

before ICA and studied 484 vessels at 10 centers in Europe, the United Kingdom, Japan, Korea, and

Australia. The results showed that Heartflow FFRCT Analysis is highly accurate compared to the

reference standard of invasive FFR, with a per vessel accuracy of 86% compared with 65% for CCTA

alone (p < 0.001).

• ***PACIFIC (2019):*** The PACIFIC trial was an investigator-initiated, prospective study funded by the

Company to evaluate in a head-to-head manner the diagnostic performance of several non-invasive

tests commonly used to identify functionally significant CAD. At a single site in the Netherlands, a total

of 208 patients with suspected stable CAD underwent CCTA, SPECT and PET, and then used ICA

with invasive FFR as the reference standard. The Heartflow FFRCT Analysis was not initially included

in the PACIFIC study, but the investigators subsequently undertook a retrospective PACIFIC FFRCT

sub-study to evaluate the diagnostic performances of Heartflow FFRCT Analysis compared to CCTA,

SPECT, and PET. Using invasive FFR as the reference standard, the Heartflow FFRCT Analysis

demonstrated the highest diagnostic performance for vessel-specific ischemia of all tested

noninvasive tests, with an AUC (Area Under the Curve) of 0.94 compared with PET (0.87), CTA

(0.83), and SPECT (0.70) (p < 0.001 for all).

<u>Differentiated utility, improved clinical and economic outcomes</u>: Numerous studies have demonstrated

that use of Heartflow FFRCT Analysis favorably impacts clinical management, supporting physicians in

making more informed and better patient-specific decisions about intervention which drives more efficient

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

use of resources. Key company-sponsored clinical studies that demonstrated the impact of Heartflow

FFRCT Analysis on clinical decision-making, outcomes and provider and payor economics include:

• ***ADVANCE (2018):*** Our Company-sponsored ADVANCE prospective registry studied 5,083 patients

at 38 centers across the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, and Japan whose CCTA showed

CAD, in order to determine whether the incremental addition of Heartflow FFRCT Analysis resulted in a

change in patient management.Results at 90 days showed that Heartflow FFRCT Analysis findings

drove a change in management plan for 67% of patients and that Heartflow FFRCT Analysis values

>0.80 did not have any reported major adverse cardiovascular events compared to those with values

0.80 or below who experienced higher rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (p < 0.01)

despite overwhelmingly non-invasive patient management. Additionally, CCTA-based stenosis

severity was determined to be a poor predictor of Heartflow FFRCT Analysis values, demonstrating

that CCTA alone was not as effective for clinical decision-making. A review of outcomes at one year

showed that physician management decisions were safe and durable and that deferral of an invasive

procedure based on Heartflow FFRCT Analysis was safe and appropriate, as it was highly unlikely to

result in a later revascularization or adverse clinical event.

• ***PRECISE (2023):*** Our Company-sponsored PRECISE trial was a prospective randomized controlled

study conducted at 65 centers across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Europe

which compared decision-making and outcomes based on a CCTA + Heartflow FFRCT Analysis

pathway with the "usual care" pathway which involved alternative non-invasive or invasive testing

methods chosen by the clinician, such as exercise electrocardiogram, stress echocardiogram, stress

nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging (single-photon emission CT or positron emission tomography),

stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, or catheterization. The study included 2,103

participants without known CAD or prior testing and had a median follow up of 11.8 months. The

study found that, compared with the "usual care" pathways, CCTA + Heartflow FFRCT Analysis was

78% more likely to identify patients in need of revascularization (p < 0.001), and resulted in a 69%

reduction in diagnostic-only ICA. The net effect of this pathway was 2x the yield of ICA leading to a

revascularization procedure, from 30.5% of cases to 71.9% of cases. As a result, our internal analysis

based on the PRECISE data demonstrated a 20% increase in net revenue for the cardiac

catheterization lab, on average.

• ***PLATFORM (2015):*** Our Company-sponsored PLATFORM trial was a prospective controlled study of

sequential cohorts that enrolled 584 patients across 11 centers in the United Kingdom and Europe.

The study assessed the clinical and economic impacts of using a CCTA + Heartflow FFRCT Analysis

pathway to select patients with stable, new onset chest pain for ICA. The study compared outcomes

between cohorts with a "usual care" invasive pathway to a CCTA + Heartflow FFRCT Analysis

pathway. The study found that the CCTA + Heartflow FFRCT Analysis pathway reduced the rate of

unnecessary ICA by 83% from 73% to 12% (p < 0.0001) and showed a 23% reduction in costs at 90

days and a 32% reduction (p < 0.0001) in costs at one year based primarily on the avoidance of

unnecessary invasive procedures.

***Our Heartflow Plaque Analysis***

Our clinical portfolio includes 10 studies and over 25 peer-reviewed publications specific to Heartflow

Plaque Analysis. These studies and publications, which include large, multi-center, international trials,

document the performance, accuracy and clinical utility of Heartflow Plaque Analysis as well as its

positive impact on the physician's ability to assess risk and manage outcomes. By providing more

accurate and detailed information on plaque types and volumes than can be achieved with traditional non-

invasive tests or risk measures, Heartflow Plaque Analysis supports more appropriate, precise medical

management. Key studies that support the clinical benefits of Heartflow Plaque Analysis include:

• ***REVEALPLAQUE (2024):*** Our Company-sponsored REVEALPLAQUE study demonstrated the

accuracy of Heartflow Plaque Analysis relative to IVUS, the accepted reference standard for coronary

plaque measurement and characterization. REVEALPLAQUE was a prospective, blinded, core-lab

adjudicated trial that enrolled 237 patients, with 432 lesions, in the United States and Japan and

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

compared coronary plaque quantification and characterization between Heartflow Plaque Analysis

and IVUS. The study showed that Heartflow's Plaque Analysis results for total plaque volume,

calcified plaque, and non-calcified plaque were strongly correlated with IVUS measurements,

achieving 95% agreement with IVUS.

• ***DECODE (2024):*** Our Company-sponsored DECODE study evaluated the impact of the Heartflow

Plaque Analysis on clinical decision-making using data from 100 patients who underwent CCTA. For

each case, three cardiologists with expertise in reading CCTA and preventive therapies aligned on a

management plan based on patient demographics, clinical history, and the CCTA alone. The

cardiologists were then provided with Heartflow Plaque Analysis for the same patients and asked to

determine a management plan. The results showed that the use of Heartflow Plaque Analysis led to

changes in treatment plans for 66% of patients, including 63% of patients who had medical

management up-titrated. The likelihood of changing the management plan increased with higher CAC

scores and was more pronounced in patients with significant coronary stenosis; however, even 50%

of patients with a CAC score of 0 had a revised management plan with Heartflow Plaque Analysis.

• ***ADVANCEPLAQUE (2024):***The ADVANCEPLAQUE study is a retrospective analysis of our

ADVANCE trial after 1-year follow up (see above for more information related to our Company-

sponsored ADVANCE trial). In a multi-variate analysis of the data, high total plaque volume as

identified by Heartflow Plaque Analysis was shown to be an independent predictor for the risk of

adverse clinical cardiac events. In addition, the risk of an adverse cardiac event was shown to be 2x

higher in patients where Heartflow Plaque Analysis showed a higher total plaque burden compared to

those with a lower plaque burden.

• ***EMERALD 2 (2024)***: The EMERALD 2 study, funded by the Company, enrolled 351 patients who

presented with acute coronary syndrome, including specifically-identified culprit plaque rupture, within

3 years following a CCTA across the United States, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Hungary, Belgium,

Australia, Japan and South Korea. The study sought to investigate the additive value of AI–enabled

quantitative coronary plaque analysis together with hemodynamic analysis as predictors of the

subsequent plaque rupture. The study showed that adding the CCTA-derived, AI-enabled measures

derived from FFRCT and Plaque Analyses predicted plaque rupture more accurately the reference

model of CCTA alone (p < 0.001).

• ***DECIDE***: Based on the success of our DECODE study, which supported CMS coverage for Heartflow

Plaque Analysis, we initiated in March 2024 the DECIDE registry, a prospective real world analysis

measuring the impact of Heartflow Plaque Analysis on changes in treatment decisions compared to

CCTA alone or alternative non-invasive tests. In contrast with DECODE in which physicians

retrospectively identified revised patient management plans, physicians in our DECIDE registry will

use Heartflow Plaque Analysis information to implement real world patient management changes. The

study's primary endpoint is change in medical management following Heartflow Plaque Analysis

compared to CCTA alone, and the secondary endpoint will examine changes in key outcomes

including death, heart attack, revascularization, cardiovascular medication changes and

cardiovascular hospitalizations at both 90-days and one-year follow-up. DECIDE was initiated in

March 2024 and we expect to enroll approximately 20,000 patients across over 30 sites in the United

States. As of March 31, 2025, we have enrolled over 10,000patients. Our current findings from the

DECIDE registry show the Heartflow Plaque Analysis led to medical management change in over half

of patients beyond CCTA alone. We believe that the outcomes of the DECIDE registry will support

expanded commercial payor coverage and continued adoption of Heartflow Plaque Analysis.

***Other clinical studies***

The following summarizes the results of additional clinical studies that were not supported, sponsored, or

funded by the Company.

• ***SCOT-HEART (2015):***SCOT-HEART was a foundational open-label, multi-center, parallel group

randomized controlled trial that compared the standard of care against the standard of care with

CCTA. The study registered 4,146 patients across 12 sites in Scotland. Enrollment was open to

patients aged 18–75 years who had been referred by a primary-care physician to a dedicated

cardiology chest pain clinic with suspected stable angina due to coronary heart disease. The study

highlighted the clinical superiority of CCTA over traditional stress-based NITs, finding a significant

41% reduction in the rate of death or non-fatal heart attacks after five years in patients who

underwent CCTA evaluations. The study also demonstrated that patients in the CCTA group had

higher rates of preventative therapies throughout follow-up: antiplatelet therapy use fell from 48%

(baseline) to 41% (at 1 year) in the standard of care group (p < 0.001), whereas it increased from

49% (baseline) to 52% (at 1 year) in those in the CCTA group (p = 0.017). Statin use increased in

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

both groups, from 43% to 50% (at 1 year) in the standard of care group and from 44% to 59% (at 1

year) in the CCTA group (p < 0.001 for both groups), but this was greater in those assigned to the

CCTA group (p < 0.001).

• ***FAME 1 (2009):*** The foundational FAME 1, a prospective randomized controlled trial, enrolled 1,005

patients with multi-vessel CAD across 20 sites in the United States and Europe. The study, along with

FAME 2, showed that deferring intervention is superior when blood flow, as measured by FFR, was

greater than 0.80 but that when FFR was below this same level, intervention was superior to optimal

medical therapy. In FAME 1, patients diagnosed with CAD by ICA and planned ICA had rates of major

adverse cardiovascular events that were lower with deferral of FFR negative lesions than with angio-

guided PCI of all lesions independent of FFR (18.3% vs. 13.2%) (p = 0.02). In addition, 78% of the

patients in the angiography group were free from angina at 1 year, as compared with 81% of patients

in the FFR group (p = 0.20).

• ***FAME 2 (2014):*** The foundational FAME 2, a prospective randomized controlled trial, enrolled 1,220

patients across 28 sites in Europe and North America. The enrolled patients were appropriate

candidates for PCI in stable condition who had angiographically assessed one-, two-, or three-vessel

CAD suitable for PCI. The study demonstrated that patients diagnosed with CAD by ICA and with

invasively-measured positive FFR had rates of major adverse cardiovascular events that were lower

with PCI and medical management than with medical management alone (8.1% vs. 19.5%) (p <

0.001). This reduction was driven by a lower rate of urgent revascularization in the PCI group (4.0%

vs. 16.3%) (p < 0.001), with no significant between-group differences in the rates of death and

myocardial infarction.

**Sales and marketing**

We believe the Heartflow Platform adds significant value across all the subspecialties that impact

cardiovascular care including referring cardiologists, imaging physicians, and interventionalists. We have

structured our sales force to efficiently call on these key physician stakeholders, with a primary focus on

the imaging physicians who are instrumental in new account adoption and the referring physicians who

are critical to driving volume growth at accounts in our installed base.

We market and sell our Heartflow Platform in United States through a direct sales organization. As of

March 31, 2025, our U.S. commercial team included 44 TSMs focused on opening new accounts, 55

TAMs who are focused on broadening referring physician awareness of the CCTA + Heartflow pathway

and driving increased volumes at accounts in our installed base, and our customer success organization

that supports seamless onboarding, implementation and ongoing utilization at our accounts. We support

our direct commercial efforts with a marketing team that generates demand for the CCTA + Heartflow

pathway and highlights clearly defined value propositions for the various stakeholders across our

customer base including cardiologists, radiologists and interventional cardiologists.

Our TSMs engage with physicians to communicate the value proposition of the Heartflow Platform,

leveraging our large base of clinical evidence to highlight its clinical and economic benefits as well as the

lack of any new capital equipment purchase to drive new account adoption. Our TSMs have substantial

experience selling into cardiology and radiology practices as well as engaging with broad stakeholders to

establish new diagnostic and therapeutic solutions, employing an enterprise sales strategy. Our TAMs

utilize our extensive clinical compendium to educate and train physicians on the benefits of our platform,

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

ultimately driving more referrals to our accounts. Our TAMs have strong backgrounds in establishing new,

disruptive therapies and growing a cardiology referral base.

![business15b.jpg](business15b.jpg)

*Figure 13: Overview of Heartflow call points*

Our software is simple, intuitive and does not require case coverage by our sales reps, which affords our

commercial organization a differentiated level of efficiency relative to most other medical device

technology companies. We intend to drive further adoption of our Heartflow Platform by leveraging our

existing and highly efficient cohort of TSMs and TAMs to continue opening new accounts and driving

volume growth. We expect to selectively add additional TSMs to grow our geographic presence where we

see areas of opportunity and modestly grow our team of TAMs to continue to drive awareness of the

benefits of our technology and broaden our referring physician population as our installed base grows.

We believe that all accounts with a CCTA program would benefit from adopting the Heartflow Platform.

We estimate that as of December 31, 2023, there were approximately 2,700 hospitals and outpatient

facilities in the United States that perform CCTA, and this target account base has grown at a 10% CAGR

from 2018 to 2023 as accounts increasingly recognize the benefits of a guideline directed CCTA program,

based on our analyses using Clarivate's ProcedureFinder data repository.

We also have small, direct commercial teams in the United Kingdom and Japan. We may continue to

expand our commercial activities outside the United States in areas where we see potential opportunity

and supportive reimbursement dynamics.

**Research and development**

We have invested significantly in research and development efforts over more than a decade to establish

the first and most widely adopted AI-enabled non-invasive test for CAD that is authorized for marketing in

the United States. We have built sophisticated AI-based algorithms and established an intuitive, easy to

use web and mobile customer interface, developed secure data transfer software, a scalable cloud

database, and quality review software, all while facilitating operational scalability. Our highly skilled and

focused research and development ("R&D") team has been pioneering AI-based coronary imaging for

over a decade and remains uniquely positioned to continuously advance our Heartflow Platform. Our R&D

team is comprised of PhD research scientists with expertise in AI-based algorithms and medical imaging,

alongside software engineers skilled in cloud architecture, AI algorithms, machine and deep learning and

3D visualization, as well as product managers and designers who ensure optimal customer experience

and design.

We are continuing to invest in research and development efforts with the goal of driving improvements to

the Heartflow Platform and expanding its applicability to additional disease states and patient populations.

Our near to medium term research and development priorities include: (i) continuing to train and improve

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

our AI algorithms to drive greater quality and efficiency and reduce manual involvement; (ii) enhancing

product features for both Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and Heartflow Plaque Analysis; (iii) developing

additional workflow enhancements for our customers; and (iv) expanding indications for our platform,

including asymptomatic risk prediction.

**Reimbursement** 

The ability of our customers to obtain third-party payor coverage and payment for our Heartflow Platform

products for their patients is important to our business. Demand for our existing and new products is, and

will continue to be, affected by the extent to which government healthcare programs, such as Medicare

and Medicaid, and private health insurers, reimburse our customers for the use of our products with their

patients in the countries where we do business. We have successfully engaged with third-party payors in

major markets throughout the world to obtain coverage, coding, and payment rates for our products.

Nonetheless, not all third-party payors reimburse our customers for our products in all situations. Third-

party payor reimbursement for the Heartflow FFRCT Analysis is broad; however, Heartflow Plaque Analysis

is our second commercial product, and we continue to work to expand coverage and payment for its use.

Even if we develop or acquire a promising new product that has been cleared for commercial distribution

by the FDA, demand for the product may be limited unless our customers are reimbursed at favorable

rates by private health insurers and government healthcare programs.

Our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis is reimbursed under a Category I CPT code, 75580, effective as of January

1, 2024, and third-party payors have established coverage policies for Heartflow FFRCT Analysis that

apply to approximately 99% of covered lives in the United States. A new Category I CPT code was also

recently established to describe our Heartflow Plaque Analysis, which will take effect in January 2026.

Our Heartflow Plaque Analysis is generally covered by Medicare, with five of the seven MACs issuing final

LCDs that determined this analysis is medically necessary for certain Medicare patients in these MACs'

jurisdictions, and the remaining MACs providing coverage on a case-by-case basis. In July 2025, CMS

proposed to establish a national payment rate for the Category I CPT code that will describe our

Heartflow Plaque Analysis when performed in the physician office setting. If finalized in the final Physician

Fee Schedule rule expected to be published in the fourth quarter of 2025, a national Medicare payment

rate for our Heartflow Plaque Analysis will take effect on January 1, 2026.

In the United States, our customers purchase Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and Heartflow Plaque Analysis

reports generated by our products for their patients. These customers then submit a claim to the

applicable third-party payor for reimbursement. To the extent that coverage is denied on such claims, or

the reimbursement paid does not exceed the customer's cost for our products, demand for our products

will be reduced or our charges for our products will have to be materially reduced. Internationally,

healthcare reimbursement systems vary significantly. In some countries, our customers, such as

hospitals, are constrained by fixed global budgets, regardless of the volume or nature of patient

treatment. Other countries require application for, and approval of, government or third-party payor

reimbursement. Without both favorable coverage determinations by, and the financial support of,

government and private third-party payors, the market for our products would be adversely affected. We

cannot be sure that third-party payors will maintain the current level of coverage and payment to our

customers for use of our existing products. Adverse coverage determinations, or reductions in the amount

of reimbursement, could harm our business by discouraging customers' ordering of, and reducing the

prices they are willing to pay for, our products.

It is our intent to complete additional clinical studies and analyses, as needed, to obtain and continue to

expand coverage and payment at favorable rates for our products in countries or regions where it makes

economic sense to do so. Nonetheless, coverage and payment for our products can differ from payor to

payor. Furthermore, as a result of their influence over the healthcare system, third-party payors have

implemented, and are continuing to implement, cost-cutting measures such as seeking discounts, price

reductions or other incentives from medical products manufacturers, and imposing limitations on

coverage and payment for medical technologies and procedures. These trends could compel us to reduce

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

prices for our products and could cause a decrease in the size of the market or a potential increase in

competition that could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition to uncertainties surrounding insurance coverage policies, our Heartflow Platform, which

includes the separately billable services, Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and Heartflow Plaque Analysis, is

subject to periodic changes to reimbursement levels by government payors and private health insurers.

For example, CMS adopts changes to reimbursement policies during the annual Medicare rulemaking

process, which includes updates to Medicare payment levels to hospitals under the Medicare Hospital

Outpatient Prospective Payment System ("OPPS"), and updates to Medicare payment levels to physician

offices, independent diagnostic testing facilities, and freestanding imaging centers under the Medicare

Physician Fee Schedule ("MPFS").

Updates to payments under OPPS, which are in the form of Ambulatory Payment Classifications ("APC")

are made annually and primarily driven by the geometric mean cost ("GMC") of the service, which is

calculated based on hospital cost reports submitted to CMS and hospital claims submitted during the prior

calendar year before the rule's publication. If the reported GMCs for these services decline, whether due

to miscoding, erroneous claims denials, use of alternative revenue codes, underreporting costs by

hospitals, a reduction in the cost of the service, or a change in payment policy by CMS, CMS may assign

such service to a lower APC, resulting in a materially lower reimbursement rate for at least the next

calendar year. We may not become aware of our hospital customers reporting a lower GMC, or the

reason for any such reduction, early enough to prevent an impact to the GMC for the applicable period or

any potential payment classification change that CMS could make as a result of a decrease in the GMC.

Once hospitals submit their claims and CMS calculates the GMC for each procedure, our ability to

remedy any such issues may be limited by CMS rules and regulations.

Heartflow's FFRCT and Heartflow Plaque Analysis are also subject to reimbursement changes under the

MPFS, which determines payment rates to physician offices, independent diagnostic testing facilities and

freestanding imaging centers. Like OPPS, CMS evaluates and updates payments rates on the MPFS on

an annual basis, and changes to the conversion factor, relative value units ("RVUs"), practice expense

allocations or procedure code valuations can affect the reimbursement available for Heartflow FFRCT

Analysis and Heartflow Plaque Analysis. For example, services that convert from Category III CPT codes

to Category I CPT code status are subject to review and re-survey by the American Medical Association

Relative Value Scale Update Committee, which may recommend an updated physician work value or

practice expense calculation in the form of updated RVUs. This initial review and any subsequent

resurvey can impact Medicare payment rates established in the annual MPFS. We believe the American

Medical Association may resurvey the CPT codes describing our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis as early as

2027 and our Heartflow Plaque Analysis as early as 2029. Additionally, the American Medical Association

and CMS continue to evolve the CPT coding structure and payment calculation for AI-enabled healthcare

services. Changes to existing codes or coding policies, or our ability to obtain new codes and establish

appropriate values, may impact future reimbursement for the Heartflow Platform.

In addition to risks associated with coding and government reimbursement, our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis

and Heartflow Plaque Analysis products face reimbursement uncertainty from commercial payors, such

as UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Anthem, and regional Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. Commercial

payors routinely reassess their medical policies, coverage criteria, and payment rates, and may choose to

deny coverage, impose restrictive utilization management protocols (such as prior authorization), or

reduce or bundle payment amounts based on internal cost-effectiveness assessments or evolving clinical

guidelines. Even if CMS maintains favorable Medicare reimbursement, commercial payors may

independently determine whether Heartflow FFRCT Analysis or Heartflow Plaque Analysis meets their

plans' medical necessity standards, which can vary among commercial payors.

The overall escalating cost of medical products and services being paid for by the government and private

health insurance has led to, and may continue to lead to, increased pressures on the healthcare and

medical device industries to reduce the costs of products and services. Third-party payors are developing

increasingly sophisticated methods of controlling healthcare costs through prospective reimbursement

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

and capitation programs, group purchasing, redesign of benefits, and exploration of more cost-effective

methods of delivering healthcare. In the United States, some insured individuals enroll in managed care

programs, which monitor and often require pre-approval for the services that a member will receive. Some

managed care programs pay their providers on a per capita (patient) basis, which puts the providers at

financial risk for the services provided to their patients by paying these providers a predetermined

payment per member per month and, consequently, may limit the willingness of these providers to use

our products.

**Competition**

We consider our primary competition to be traditional non-invasive tests for CAD including primarily stress

tests such as SPECT, stress echocardiography and PET. The primary providers of imaging systems that

perform these tests include Siemens Healthineers AG, GE Healthcare, Koninklijke Philips N.V. and Canon

Medical Systems Corporation. These companies also manufacture CT scanners and therefore have a

vested interest in growing the CCTA market in addition to protecting their share of the non-invasive

market. These are large, multi-national, commercial organizations with significant resources and

distribution capabilities.

We also face competition from companies that have developed or are developing AI-based platforms that

leverage CCTA to diagnose CAD, including earlier-stage companies such as Cleerly, Inc., Elucid

Bioimaging Inc. and Keya Medical Technology Co., Ltd. We may also face competition from companies

developing AI-based platforms, even if they are not currently in the CAD market.

We believe the primary competitive factors in our market include: (i) the accuracy, reliability, and utility of

the test as demonstrated by the strength and quality of clinical data directly utilizing the test and

supporting it; (ii) speed and efficiency of achieving a definitive diagnosis at scale; (iii) per patient

economics including reimbursement rates and relative costs; (iv) availability and ease of use including

integration within hospital systems and clinical workflows as well as customer support; and (v) effective

marketing and physician education efforts as well as ability to impact physician mindshare and historical

practice patterns.

**Intellectual property**

Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain, maintain and defend our patent and other proprietary

rights for the Heartflow Platform, the validity and enforceability of our patents, our ability to operate

without infringing the valid and enforceable patents and proprietary rights of third parties and the

continued confidentiality of our know-how and trade secrets. We are actively involved in research and

development and therefore seek to protect the investments we have made into the development of the

Heartflow Platform and our proprietary technology by relying on a combination of patents, trademarks,

trade secrets, and licenses, as well as through internal compartmentalization processes, confidentiality

agreements and proprietary information agreements with suppliers, employees, consultants and others

who may have or gain access to our proprietary information. We seek patent protection in the United

States and key markets internationally for the Heartflow Platform, and any other inventions to which we

have rights, where available and appropriate. We also rely upon trademarks to build and maintain the

integrity and identity of our brand, and we seek to protect the confidentiality of trade secrets that may be

important to the development of our business, especially where we do not believe patent protection is

appropriate or obtainable. We license from third parties certain patent rights and proprietary know-how

that we believe to be useful to our business. We have non-exclusively licensed some patents in our

patent portfolio to a small number of licensees in a limited field of use that is outside of CCTA, and we

believe that those licensees' product offerings covered by our patent portfolio are complementary to our

product offerings.

Our patent portfolio, described more fully below, includes claims directed to the Heartflow Platform and its

delivery, as embodied in various systems, computer programs, computer implemented methods and

related methods of use. These claims are directed to various aspects of deriving anatomical and

physiological information from image data for the Heartflow Platform, aspects of the Heartflow Platform

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

user interface, machine learning methods for generation of the 3D models used for our FFRCT Analysis

and Plaque Analysis products, and methods of deriving blood flow, anatomy, plaque and organ tissue

information from the image data. A number of our issued patents also cover indications other than CAD,

such as peripheral artery disease, stroke, or aneurysms as well as technical applications related to image

data analysis and processing, and platform-related PHI and data transfer methodologies and a number of

issued patents cover alternative methods such as deriving FFRCT using purely machine learning methods

or from other imaging modalities.

As of December 31, 2024, our owned and licensed patent portfolio includes approximately five hundred

and eighty-six (586) issued patents and one hundred and three (103) pending patent applications globally,

of which nine (9) are allowed. In the U.S. this includes three hundred and nine (309) issued U.S. patents

and fifty-six (56) pending non-provisional U.S. patent applications (of which three (3) are allowed). In

foreign jurisdictions our owned and licensed patent portfolio includes two-hundred and eighty (280) issued

foreign patents and forty-seven (47) pending foreign patent applications (of which five (5) are allowed).

The two-hundred and eighty (280) issued foreign patents include one or more issued patents in Europe,

Japan, Korea, China, Australia, Canada, India, Hong Kong, and Israel. We also filed twenty-three foreign

utility models between 2011 and 2014, having ten-year terms, all of which have expired. The forty-seven

(47) pending foreign patent applications include one or more pending applications in jurisdictions such as

Europe, Canada, China, and Japan. We own all of our issued patents except for 7 issued U.S. patents

and 8 issued foreign patents, for which we have exclusive licenses. All of the issued U.S. patents in the

portfolio are utility patents. Assuming payment of all appropriate maintenance, renewal, annuity or other

governmental fees, as applicable, our owned and licensed issued U.S. patents expire between 2018 and

2041. If issued, our last to expire pending patent application (without accounting for potentially applicable

patent term adjustments or extensions) is expected to expire in 2045. One of our U.S. patents expired in

2018 and we do not expect any additional expirations in the near-term. The next expiration of a Heartflow-

licensed patent is expected to be in 2028. The next expiration of a Heartflow-owned patent is expected to

be in 2031.

Our patents and applications generally fall into three broad categories:

• applications and patents relating to our Heartflow FFRCT Analysis, including claims directed to

segmentation, determining blood flow characteristics using artificial intelligence and/or fluid dynamics,

and visualization generation;

• applications and patents relating to our Heartflow Plaque Analysis, including claims directed to plaque

and vessel visualization and characterization; and

• applications and patents relating to our Heartflow RoadMap Analysis, including claims directed to

image quality and annotation, segmentation, and vascular tree generation.

The term of individual patents depends upon the legal term of the patents in the countries in which they

are obtained. In most countries in which we file or intend to file, including the United States, the patent

term is 20 years from the earliest date of filing a non-provisional patent application. Additionally, a U.S.

provisional patent application expires twelve months from its filing date, and its subject matter can only be

claimed in an issued patent if, among other things, we timely file a non-provisional patent application

making a valid priority claim to that provisional patent application before it expires. In the United States, a

patent's term may be lengthened by patent term adjustment, which compensates a patentee for

administrative delays by the USPTO in examining and granting a patent, or may be shortened if a patent

is terminally disclaimed over an earlier filed patent. The coverage sought in a patent application can be

denied or significantly reduced either before or after the patent is issued. We cannot be sure that patents

will be granted with respect to any current pending patent application or with respect to any patent

applications filed by us in the future, nor can we be certain that any current pending or published patent

application will be granted with the current claims or that any current or future patents will be

commercially useful in protecting the Heartflow Platform and our proprietary technology. In addition, any

patents that we may hold, whether owned or licensed, may be challenged, circumvented or invalidated by

third parties.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

The success of our business strategy also depends in part on our continued ability to protect our brand.

We own registered trademarks for the Heartflow Platform. We also own and maintain registration for a

number of domain names. As of December 31, 2024, we have registered the trademarks "HEARTFLOW"

word mark and logo with the USPTO. Although we own registered trademarks and domain names in the

United States and certain other countries, and have filed trademark applications and secured domain

name registrations in the United States and in certain other countries, we do not have assurance that our

trademark portfolio will be adequate to secure or protect all necessary trademarks that we use.

The Heartflow Platform also implements software modules licensed to us by third-party authors under

"open source" licenses. The use of open source software may entail greater risks than the use of third-

party commercial software. Please see "Risk factors—Risks related to our intellectual property" for more

description of these risks. We have established a review process for screening requests from our

development organizations for the use of such software that is designed to help us mitigate risks related

to the quality of any open source software implemented in our technology platform. We also review any

open source software used to support our software development, but not directly incorporated into the

Heartflow Platform, as part of our general quality management processes. While these review processes

help us mitigate risks associated with the quality of the open source software incorporated into or used in

developing the Heartflow Platform, we cannot be sure that all open source software is submitted for

approval prior to use in connection with the Heartflow Platform.

We also rely on trade secrets, including know-how, unpatented technology and other proprietary

information, to strengthen our competitive position. We seek to protect trade secrets and confidential and

unpatented know-how, in part, by entering into non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with parties

who have access to such knowledge, such as our employees, collaborators, manufacturers, consultants,

advisors and other third parties. We also seek to enter into confidentiality and invention or patent

assignment agreements with our employees and consultants that obligate them to maintain confidentiality

and assign their inventions to us. We also seek to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of our data

and trade secrets by maintaining the physical security of our premises and physical and electronic

security of our information technology systems.

Our ability to stop third parties from making, using, selling, offering to sell or importing the Heartflow

Platform depends on the extent to which we have rights under valid and enforceable patents, trade

secrets or other intellectual property and proprietary rights that cover these activities. We pursue

intellectual property protection to the extent we believe it would advance our business objectives.

Notwithstanding these efforts, there can be no assurance that we will adequately protect our intellectual

property or provide any competitive advantage. For more information regarding risks relating to

intellectual property, see "Risk factors—Risks related to our intellectual property."

**Government regulation**

***United States regulation of medical devices***

Our products are medical devices subject to extensive and ongoing regulation by the FDA, CMS, the

Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General ("OIG") and regulatory bodies in

the United States and other countries. Regulations govern virtually every critical aspect of a medical

device company's business operations, including research activities, product development and testing,

manufacturing and production, contracting, reimbursement, product messaging, medical communications,

sales, marketing and advertising. In the United States, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act

("FDCA") and the implementing regulations of the FDA govern product design and development,

preclinical and clinical testing, premarket clearance or approval, product manufacturing, product labeling,

product storage, advertising and promotion, product sales and distribution, import, export and post market

clinical surveillance. Our business is subject to federal, state, local, and foreign regulations, such as ISO

13485:2016, ISO 14971:2019, FDA's Quality System Regulation ("QSR") contained in 21 CFR Part 820,

and the EU's Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC and its replacement, Regulation (EU) 2017/745. The

Heartflow Platform consists of three main analyses; Heartflow FFRCT Analysis, Heartflow Roadmap

Analysis, and Heartflow Plaque Analysis. All three are authorized for clinical use in the United States,

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Bahrain, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Only the FFRCT Analyses is authorized for

clinical use in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Japan.

***FDA premarket clearance and approval requirements***

Unless an exemption applies, each medical device commercially distributed in the United States requires

either FDA clearance of a 510(k) premarket notification, grant of a de novo classification request, or

approval of a premarket approval ("PMA") application. Our Heartflow Platform is regulated in the United

States by the FDA as a Class II medical device. The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three

classes. Devices deemed to pose low to moderate risk are designated as either Class I or II. Class I

devices are subject to general controls such as establishment registration and device listing, labeling,

adherence to current good manufacturing practices outlined in the QSR, maintenance and investigation of

product complaint records, and adverse event reporting, but are usually exempt from premarket

notification requirements. Class II devices are subject to the same general controls and may be subject to

special controls such as performance standards, post-market surveillance, particularized labeling

requirements and/or clinical testing prior to clearance. Manufacturers of Class II devices, absent an

exemption, are required to submit to the FDA a premarket notification prior to commercial distribution.

Devices are designated as Class III, which requires approval of a PMA application, if they are deemed by

the FDA to pose the greatest risk. These high-risk devices include life sustaining or life supporting

devices, certain implantable devices, and other devices that are intended for a use that is of substantial

importance in preventing impairment of human health or that present a potential unreasonable risk of

illness or injury. The PMA approval process is more comprehensive than the 510(k) clearance process

and typically takes several years to complete.

***510(k) clearance marketing pathway***

A 510(k) notification requires the sponsor to demonstrate that a medical device is substantially equivalent

to another marketed device, termed a "predicate device," that is legally marketed in the United States and

for which a PMA was not required. A device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device if it has the

same intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate, or has the same intended use but

different technological characteristics that do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness, and

information submitted to the FDA demonstrates that the device is at least as safe and effective as the

predicate device.

If the FDA agrees that the device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device currently on the market,

it will grant 510(k) clearance to commercially market the device. If there is no viable predicate device for a

new device because, for example, of a new intended use, the device is automatically designated as a

Class III device. Unless the De Novo pathway is available for the new device, the device sponsor must

fulfill more rigorous PMA requirements. The PMA process requires that the manufacturer demonstrate

that the device is safe and effective for its intended uses, which generally requires the submission of

extensive data, including results from pre-clinical studies and human clinical trials. A PMA must also

contain a full description of the device and its components, the methods, facilities, and controls used for

manufacturing, and proposed labeling. The PMA process is burdensome, and in practice, the FDA's

review of a PMA application may take up to several years following initial submission.

After a device receives 510(k) clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or

effectiveness, or that would constitute a new or major change in its intended use, requires a new 510(k)

clearance, or depending on the modification, could require the filing of a de novo classification request or

a PMA application, which would require the submission to the FDA of clinical trial data, among other

information. We are required to determine, for each modification to our cleared products, whether to

submit a new 510(k) notification for the modification, based on the nature of the modification. If we

determine a new 510(k) submission is not required, the decision and justification are documented in a

"letter to file." If the FDA disagrees with our determination, the FDA can require us to cease marketing or

recall the modified device until 510(k) clearance, grant of a de novo classification request or approval of a

PMA is obtained. We have made, and we plan to continue to make, minor product enhancements to our

cleared products that we believe do not require new 510(k) clearances and that we document in letters to

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

file. We also intend to make product enhancements from time to time that we expect may require new

510(k) clearances.

***De novo classification process***

A manufacturer can request a risk-based classification determination for a novel device in accordance

with the "de novo" process. Medical device types that the FDA has not previously classified as Class I, II,

or III are automatically classified into Class III regardless of the level of risk they pose. The Food and Drug

Administration Modernization Act of 1997 established a route to market for low-to-moderate risk medical

devices that are automatically placed into Class III due to the absence of a predicate device, called the

"Request for Evaluation of Automatic Class III Designation," or the de novo classification procedure. This

procedure allows a manufacturer whose novel device is automatically classified into Class III to request

down-classification of its medical device into Class I or Class II on the basis that the device presents low

or moderate risk, rather than requiring the submission and approval of a PMA application. Pursuant to the

Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act ("FDASIA"), manufacturers may request de novo

classification directly without first submitting a 510(k) pre-market notification to the FDA and receiving a

not-substantially-equivalent determination. De novo classification requests, like PMA applications and

510(k) notifications, are subject to the payment of user fees.

Under the FDASIA, the FDA is required to reach a decision within 120 days following receipt of the de

novo request, although the process may take significantly longer. If the manufacturer seeks

reclassification into Class II, the manufacturer must include a draft proposal for special controls that are

necessary to provide a reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the medical device. If the

FDA grants the de novo request, the device may be legally marketed in the United States. However, the

FDA may reject the request if the FDA identifies a legally marketed predicate device that would be

appropriate for a 510(k) notification, determines that the device is not low-to-moderate risk, or determines

that General Controls would be inadequate to control the risks and/or special controls cannot be

developed. After a device receives de novo classification, any modification that could significantly affect

its safety or efficacy, or that would constitute a major change or modification in its intended use, will

require a new 510(k) clearance or, depending on the modification, another de novo request or even PMA

approval.

We obtained initial marketing authorization for Heartflow FFRCT Analysis through the FDA's "de novo"

classification process, supported by clinical data from our NXT clinical trial. Through this process, the FDA

agreed that special controls provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the

Heartflow FFRCT Analysis and therefore it can be classified as a Class II device. We received a de novo

authorization on November 26, 2014 for version 1.4 of the Heartflow FFRCT Analysis. We received the

510(k) clearance for version 2.x of the FFRCT product in January 2015, and 510(k) clearance for a

modification to the intended use language in August 2016. Additional clearances were received for a

strategic architecture scope change in December 2018, which is the device we refer to as Heartflow

Platform. The Heartflow Platform version 3.0 received FDA clearance in January 2021, and the newest

product generation, Heartflow Platform version 3.18, adding Roadmap and Plaque functions, received

FDA clearance in October 2022.

***Medical device clinical trials***

Clinical trials are sometimes required to support 510(k) or de novo submissions. All clinical investigations

of devices to determine safety and effectiveness must be conducted in accordance with the FDA's

investigational device exemption ("IDE") regulations which govern investigational device labeling, prohibit

promotion of the investigational device, and specify an array of recordkeeping, reporting and monitoring

responsibilities of study sponsors and study investigators. If the device presents a "significant risk" to

human health, as defined by the FDA, the FDA requires the device sponsor to submit an IDE application

to the FDA, which must become effective prior to commencing human clinical trials. If the device under

evaluation does not present a significant risk to human health, then the device sponsor is not required to

submit an IDE application to the FDA before initiating human clinical trials, but must still comply with

abbreviated IDE requirements when conducting such trials. A significant risk device is one that presents a

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

potential for serious risk to the health, safety or welfare of a patient and either is implanted, used in

supporting or sustaining human life, substantially important in diagnosing, curing, mitigating or treating

disease or otherwise preventing impairment of human health, or presents a potential for serious risk to a

patient in some other way. An IDE application must be supported by appropriate data, such as animal and

laboratory test results, showing that it is safe to test the device in humans and that the testing protocol is

scientifically sound. The IDE will automatically become effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA unless

the FDA notifies the company that the investigation may not begin. If the FDA determines that there are

deficiencies or other concerns with an IDE for which it requires modification, the FDA may permit a clinical

trial to proceed under a conditional approval.

Regardless of the degree of risk presented by the medical device, clinical studies must be approved by,

and conducted under the oversight of, an Institutional Review Board ("IRB") for each clinical site. The IRB

is responsible for the initial and continuing review of the clinical study, and may pose additional

requirements for the conduct of the study. If an IDE application is approved by the FDA and one or more

IRBs, human clinical trials may begin at a specific number of investigational sites with a specific number

of patients, as approved by the FDA. If the device presents a non-significant risk to the patient, a sponsor

may begin the clinical trial after obtaining approval for the trial by one or more IRBs without separate

approval from the FDA, but must still follow abbreviated IDE requirements, such as monitoring the

investigation, ensuring that the investigators obtain informed consent, and labeling and record-keeping

requirements. Acceptance of an IDE application for review does not guarantee that the FDA will allow the

IDE to become effective and, if it does become effective, the FDA may or may not determine that the data

derived from the trials support the safety and effectiveness of the device or warrant the continuation of

clinical trials.

During a study, the sponsor is required to comply with the applicable FDA requirements, including, for

example, trial monitoring, selecting clinical investigators and providing them with the investigational plan,

ensuring IRB review, adverse event reporting, record keeping and prohibitions on the promotion of

investigational devices or on making safety or effectiveness claims for them. The clinical investigators in

the clinical study are also subject to FDA's regulations and must obtain patient informed consent,

rigorously follow the investigational plan and study protocol, control the disposition of the investigational

device, and comply with all reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Additionally, after a trial begins,

we, the FDA or the IRB could suspend or terminate a clinical trial at any time for various reasons, such as

strategic business decisions or a belief that the risks to study subjects may outweigh the anticipated

benefits.

***Expedited development and review programs***

Following passage of the 21st Century Cures Act, the FDA implemented the Breakthrough Devices

Program, which is a voluntary program offered to manufacturers of certain medical devices and device-

led combination products that may provide for more effective treatment or diagnosis of life-threatening or

irreversibly debilitating diseases or conditions. The goal of the program is to provide patients and

healthcare providers with more timely access to qualifying devices by expediting their development,

assessment and review, while preserving the statutory standards for PMA approval, 510(k) clearance and

de novo classification. The program is available for medical devices that meet certain eligibility criteria,

including that the device provides more effective treatment or diagnosis of a life-threatening or irreversibly

debilitating disease or condition, and that: (i) the device represents a breakthrough technology, (ii) no

approved or cleared alternatives exist, (iii) the device offers significant advantages over existing approved

or cleared alternatives, or (iv) the availability of the device is in the best interest of patients. Breakthrough

Device Designation provides certain benefits to device developers, including more interactive and timely

communications with FDA staff; use of post-market data collection, when scientifically appropriate, to

facilitate expedited and efficient development and review of the device; opportunities for more efficient

and flexible clinical study design; and prioritized review of premarket submissions. When reviewing

Breakthrough Device Designation requests, the FDA may require a combination of literature or

preliminary bench, animal or clinical data to demonstrate a reasonable likelihood of clinical and

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

technological success. Receiving a Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA does not guarantee

that the FDA will grant marketing authorization for the device.

***Post-market regulation***

After a device is approved or cleared and placed in commercial distribution, numerous FDA regulatory

requirements apply. These include, but are not limited to, requirements to:

• register establishments and list devices with the FDA;

• maintain a quality system that is compliant with the QSR, which governs design, development, and

manufacture of devices;

• establish various specifications and controls for incoming components and finished devices;

• ensure that devices are designed to meet user needs;

• verify that finished devices are manufactured to the appropriate controls and that they meet

specifications;

• ensure that devices are assigned and labeled with a Unique Device Identifier ("UDI") and that certain

UDI information is provided to FDA's Global Unique Identification Database ("GUDID");

• ensure that labeling and advertising and promotional activities are consistent with cleared/approved

uses, adequately substantiated, and truthful and not misleading;

• analyze quality data to identify and correct quality problems;

• submit notifications or applications for clearance or approval of product modifications that could

significantly affect safety or effectiveness or that would constitute a major change in intended use;

• review, evaluate and investigate complaints and report adverse events to the FDA when a device may

have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that would be likely

to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur;

• report to FDA corrections and removals undertaken to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or

to remedy a violation of the FDCA that may present a risk to health. In addition, FDA may order a

mandatory recall if there is a reasonable probability that the device would cause serious adverse

health consequences or death;

• comply with any post-approval restrictions or conditions, including requirements to conduct post-

market surveillance studies to establish continued safety data; and

• conduct clinical studies in accordance with good clinical practices and applicable regulations,

including requirements for clinical trial registration and results reporting on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Manufacturing processes for medical devices are required to comply with the applicable portions of the

QSR, which cover the methods and the facilities and controls for the design, manufacture, testing,

production processes and controls, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, distribution, installation and

servicing of finished devices intended for human use. The QSR also requires, among other things,

maintenance of a device master file, device history file, device history record and complaint files. As a

manufacturer, we are subject to periodic scheduled or unscheduled inspections by the FDA. Failure to

maintain compliance with the QSR requirements could result in the shutdown of, or restrictions on,

manufacturing operations and the recall or seizure of marketed products. In February 2024, the FDA

issued the Quality Management System Regulation Final Rule ("QMSR") to amend the QSR,

incorporating by reference the international standard for medical device quality management systems,

ISO 13485:2016. The rule becomes effective on February 2, 2026. Until then, manufacturers are required

to comply with the QSR.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

The FDA polices these requirements by inspection, review of required reports or submissions, and market

surveillance, and the agency has broad enforcement powers to address any violations. The FDA may

conduct announced or unannounced facility inspections to determine compliance with the QSR and other

regulations, and these inspections may include our manufacturing facilities. Failure to comply with

applicable regulatory requirements can result in enforcement action by the FDA or other regulatory

authorities, which may result in sanctions and related consequences, including:

• untitled letters or warning letters or it has come to our attention letters;

• injunctions or consent decrees;

• fines or civil penalties;

• recall, detention, or seizure of our product;

• operating restrictions, partial suspension, or total shutdown of production;

• the FDA's refusal of or delay in granting 510(k) clearance or premarket approval of new or modified

products;

• withdrawal of 510(k) clearances or PMA approvals;

• the FDA's refusal to grant export certificates;

• criminal prosecution;

• unanticipated expenditures to address or defend such actions; and

• reputational harm resulting from such actions.

Other regulatory authorities overseeing the implementation and adherence of applicable state, federal

and analogous foreign regulatory authorities may also conduct unannounced inspections. Such

inspections may result in similar administrative, civil and criminal penalties. The discovery of previously

unknown problems with marketed medical devices, including unanticipated adverse events or adverse

events of increasing severity or frequency, whether resulting from the use of the device within the scope

of its clearance or off-label by a physician in the practice of medicine, could result in restrictions on the

device, including the removal of the product from the market or voluntary or mandatory device recalls.

***International regulation — European Union, United Kingdom, Japan and Canada***

In order to market and sell our product outside of the United States, we must comply with numerous and

varying regulatory requirements of other countries and jurisdictions regarding quality, safety, and efficacy

and governing, among other things, clinical trials, marketing authorization, commercial sales and

distribution of our product.

Although many of the regulatory issues we face in the United States are similar to the issues in other

geographies, the approval or certification process varies between countries and jurisdictions and can

involve additional testing and additional administrative review periods. The time required to obtain

approval or certification in other countries and jurisdictions might differ from and be longer than that

required to obtain clearance from the FDA. Regulatory approval or certification in one country or

jurisdiction does not ensure regulatory approval or certification in another, but a failure or delay in

obtaining regulatory approval or certification in one country or jurisdiction may negatively impact the

regulatory process in others.

***European Union***

The primary regulatory environment in Europe is that of the European Union, which includes most of the

major countries in Europe. The law regarding medical devices is harmonized in the European Union. Until

a few years ago, medical devices were governed by the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC ("MDD")

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

and the Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive 90/385/EEC ("AIMD"), implemented by the member

states of the European Union into their national law. However, on May 26, 2021,the Medical Devices

Regulation (EU) 2017/745 ("MDR") entered into application, repealing and replacing the MDD and the

AIMD. As a Regulation, the MDR is directly applicable in all member states of the European Union and

does not require further implementation into national law. The MDR and its associated guidance

documents and harmonized standards govern, among other things, device design and development,

preclinical and clinical or performance testing, premarket conformity assessment, registration and listing,

manufacturing, labeling, storage, claims, sales and distribution, export and import and post-market

surveillance, vigilance, and market surveillance. The MDR is based on very similar general system as the

MDD, but adds obligations on manufacturers and distributors of medical devices.

Since May 26, 2021, medical devices placed on the European Union market must conform to the

requirements set out by the MDR. Medical devices must comply with the General Safety and

Performance Requirements ("GSPRs") set out in Annex I of the MDR. Compliance with these

requirements is a prerequisite to be able to affix the CE mark to devices, without which they cannot be

marketed or sold in the European Union. To demonstrate compliance with the GSPRs provided in the

MDR and obtain the right to affix the CE mark, medical devices manufacturers must undergo a conformity

assessment procedure. The conformity assessment procedure varies depending on the class of the

product, but most cases involve an assessment by a Notified Body. Depending on the relevant conformity

assessment procedure, this assessment may consist of a review of the technical file submitted by the

manufacturer, an audit of the quality system of the manufacturer, and testing of the product of the

manufacturer. Even though a Notified Body is a private organization in one of the member states of the

European Union, all Notified Bodies in the European Union are designated and accredited by a national

government of the European Union based on stringent criteria. Only such accredited Notified Bodies may

give a CE Certificate of Conformity following successful completion of a conformity assessment procedure

conducted in relation to the medical device and its manufacturer and their conformity with the GSPRs.

The CE Certificate of Conformity confirms the conformity of the device to the GSPRs and allows the

applicant to affix the CE mark on the assessed medical device and to commercialize it in the European

Union after having prepared and signed a related European Union Declaration of Conformity.

As a general rule, demonstration of conformity of medical devices and their manufacturers with the

GSPRs must be based, among other things, on the evaluation of clinical data supporting the safety and

performance of the products during normal conditions of use. Specifically, a manufacturer must

demonstrate that the device achieves its intended performance during normal conditions of use and that

the known and foreseeable risks, and any adverse events, are minimized and acceptable when weighed

against the benefits of its intended performance, and that any claims made about the performance and

safety of the device (e.g., product labeling and instructions for use) are supported by suitable evidence.

This assessment must be based on clinical data, which can be obtained from (i) clinical studies conducted

on the devices being assessed, (ii) scientific literature from similar devices whose equivalence with the

assessed device can be demonstrated or (iii) both clinical studies and scientific literature. The conduct of

clinical studies in the European Union is governed by detailed regulatory obligations. These may include

the requirement of prior authorization by the Competent Authorities of the country in which the study takes

place and the requirement to obtain a positive opinion from a competent Ethics Committee. This process

can be expensive and time-consuming. After a device is placed on the market in the European Union, it

remains subject to significant regulatory requirements.

The MDR also establishes transitional provisions, amended by Regulation (EU) 2023/607, permitting

certain devices that have been CE marked in accordance with the MDD or the AIMD to continue to be

placed on the European Union market under strict conditions and for a specific period of time depending

on the risk classification of the device and the date of issuance of any related CE Certificate of

Conformity. Accordingly, CE Certificates of Conformity issued by Notified Bodies in accordance with the

MDD or the AIMD from May 25, 2017, and which remained valid on May 26, 2021 and have not since

been withdrawn will, with certain exceptions, remain valid until December 31, 2027 for Class III and Class

IIb implantable medical devices and until December 31, 2028 for other Class IIb, Class IIa and Class I

devices with a measuring function or which are sterile. Class I medical devices, for which the conformity

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

assessment procedure in accordance with the MDD or the AIMD did not require the involvement of a

Notified Body but will require the involvement of a Notified Body in accordance with the MDR and for

which an European Union Declaration of Conformity was issued in accordance with the MDD or the AIMD

prior to May 26, 2021, can continue to be placed on the European Union market until December 31, 2028.

Manufacturers of medical devices may only benefit from the above extended transitional provisions

deadlines if the following conditions are fulfilled: (i) the devices continue to comply with the requirements

of the MDD or AIMD, as applicable, (ii) there are no significant changes in the design and intended

purpose, (iii) the devices do not present an unacceptable risk to the health or safety of patients, users or

other persons, or to other aspects of the protection of public health, (iv) the manufacturer implements a

quality management system by May 26, 2024 which complies with the requirements of the MDR, (v) by

May 26, 2024 an application is lodged with a Notified Body for conduct of the conformity assessment of

the devices covered by the CE Certificate of Conformity, or the devices intended to substitute for such

devices, in accordance with the MDR and a related written agreement is signed with the Notified Body by

September 26, 2024, and (vi) from May 26, 2021, compliance with the MDR relating to post-market

surveillance, market surveillance, vigilance, registration of economic operators and of devices is ensured

in place of the corresponding requirements in the MDD or AIMD.

In addition, CE Certificates of Conformity issued by Notified Bodies in accordance with the MDD or the

AIMD from May 25, 2017, which were valid on May 26, 2021 and have not been withdraw since but which

expired before March 20, 2023, will only continue to be valid in accordance with the extended transitional

deadlines above if either (i) the manufacturer signed a written agreement with a Notified Body for the

conformity assessment of the device covered by the expired CE Certificate of Conformity, or the device

intended to substitute that device, in accordance with the MDR before the date of expiry of the CE

Certificate of Conformity, or (ii) a competent authority of an European Union Member State has granted a

derogation from the application conformity assessment procedure in accordance with Article 59(1) or

Article 97(1) of the MDR.

On July 26, 2011, our Notified Body at the time, TUV Nord, issued a CE Certificate of Conformity for, and

thus allowed us to affix the CE mark, version 1.0 of the Heartflow Platform (July 26, 2011). The CE

Certificate of Conformity was subsequently reviewed for version 2.x of the Heartflow Platform and

confirmed in March of 2017. Our current version, version 3.x is also CE marked under the MDD

(November 20, 2019). We currently rely on the transitional provisions of the MDR to continue to place

version 3.x of the Heartflow Platform on the market in the European Union.

In addition, TUV Nord assessed the conformity of our quality management system ("QMS") with the

industry standard, EN ISO 13485, and TUV Nord issued the certificate confirming that we meet all EN ISO

13485 requirements. Based on the EN ISO certificate, TUV Nord also issued a certificate under the

MDSAP (Medical Device Single Audit Program), stating that the requirements of EN ISO 13485:2016 for

quality management systems are met in Australia, Canada, USA and Japan.

In the second half of 2024, we changed Notified Bodies from TUV Nord to BSI by an agreement between

TUV Nord, BSI and us. BSI has taken over Notified Body responsibilities concerning all MDD/MDR

requirements. BSI has also taken over our QMS certifications. After this transfer, all certificates issued by

TUV Nord remain valid and in effect.

The advertising and promotion of medical devices in the European Union is subject to the national laws of

the individual European Union Member States that implemented the MDD, the AIMD and that apply the

MDR, Directive 2006/114/EC concerning misleading and comparative advertising, and Directive 2005/29/

EC on unfair commercial practices, as well as other national legislation of individual European Union

Member States governing the advertising and promotion of medical devices. European Union Member

States' national legislation may also restrict or impose limitations on our ability to advertise our products

directly to the general public. In addition, voluntary European Union and national industry Codes of

Conduct provide guidelines on the advertising and promotion of our products to the general public and

may impose limitations on our promotional activities with healthcare professionals.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

In addition, other countries, such as Switzerland, have voluntarily adopted laws and regulations relating to

medical devices that mirror those of the European Union. Medical devices certified by a Notified Body and

CE marked in the European Union may be placed on Swiss market.

***United Kingdom***

The United Kingdom left the European Union in January of 2020 and the transitional period ended on

December 31, 2020. In light of the fact that the CE Marking process is set out in European Union law,

which no longer applies in the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom has devised a new route to market

culminating in a UKCA Mark to replace the CE Mark. Northern Ireland will, however, continue to be

covered by the regulations governing CE Marks. The United Kingdom Medicines and Healthcare products

Regulatory Agency ("MHRA") has established transitional provision to recognize the acceptance of certain

CE marked medical devices on the Great Britain market until June 30, 2030, at the latest, depending on

the type of device and its classification. Accordingly, medical devices which, for example, meet all

requirements of the European Union MDD and have a valid CE Certificate of Conformity and European

Union Declaration of conformity issued under the MDD prior to May 26, 2021, may be placed on the

market until the sooner of expiry of the CE Certificate of Conformity or June 30, 2028. Medical devices

which meet all requirements of the European Union MDR may be placed on the market until June 30,

2030. Manufacturers of medical devices located outside the United Kingdom, including manufacturers of

CE marked medical devices, need to appoint a United Kingdom Responsible Person before the devices

may be placed on the United Kingdom market. The United Kingdom government plans on introducing

new legislation governing medical devices which will be delivered though secondary legislation. The first

piece of legislation was laid in 2024 and updates post-market surveillance requirements. Additional

instruments will follow in 2025 and 2026 to introduce new pre-market requirements including international

reliance, and further enhancements to the regulations.

***Japan***

We applied for marketing authorization with the PMDA in Japan in February 2015, which was approved in

November 2016. As a result, we are able to commercially market the product in Japan. Our initial

SHONIN application is still current and includes a minor change notification.

***Canada***

Heartflow received our initial Canadian Medical Device License in August 2015. This remains current and

updated frequently with amendments for every minor software release. As well, Canada recognizes the

Heartflow Mobile application as a separate device identified within our Heartflow device family and

requires amendments for Mobile updates.

***Other regulations — federal and state fraud and abuse, data privacy and security and***

***transparency laws***

In addition to FDA restrictions on marketing and promotion of medical devices, there are numerous U.S.

federal and state laws, regulations, and guidance documents pertaining to healthcare compliance

protections against fraud and abuse, including anti-kickback laws, payment transparency laws, patient

inducement laws, and false claims laws, and, in some states, prohibitions against the corporate practice

of medicine and the unlicensed practice of medicine (collectively, fraud and abuse laws and regulations).

Our relationships with physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers and referral sources for our

products are subject to scrutiny under these laws. Violations of these laws may be punishable by criminal

and civil sanctions, including, in some instances, imprisonment and exclusion from participation in federal

and state healthcare programs, including the Medicare, Medicaid and Veterans Administration health

programs. Because of the breadth and far-reaching nature of these laws, we may be required to alter or

discontinue one or more of our business practices to be in compliance with these laws.

These healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations are complex, and even minor departures from

what is expressly permitted under the laws and regulations can potentially give rise to claims that a

statute or regulation has been violated in a manner that could result in serious criminal or civil

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

consequences. Several of the more significant healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations that may

affect our business or ability to operate are summarized below.

The federal Anti-Kickback Statute is a criminal law that prohibits, among other things, knowingly and

willfully offering, paying, soliciting, or receiving any remuneration in cash or in-kind (including any

kickback or bribe, but also common forms of remuneration, such as service or consulting fees, service

fees, meals, travel expenses, discounts, or rebates), directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, to induce or

in return for purchasing, leasing, ordering or arranging for or recommending the purchase, lease or order

of any item or service reimbursable, in whole or in part, under Medicare, Medicaid or other federal

healthcare programs. The term "remuneration" has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value.

Although there are a number of statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some

common activities, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practices that involve

remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, uses, purchases, or

recommendations of prescriptions, uses, or purchases of our products may be subject to scrutiny if they

do not qualify for an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular

applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make the conduct per se illegal under

the Anti-Kickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a case-by-case

basis based on a review of all relevant facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the

statute's intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of an arrangement involving remuneration is

to induce referrals of (or purchases, uses, or recommendations of prescriptions, uses, or purchases)

federal healthcare program covered business, the Anti-Kickback Statute has been implicated and

potentially violated.

Additionally, the Anti-Kickback Statute was amended by the ACA. Specifically, as noted above, under the

Anti-Kickback Statute, the government must prove that a defendant acted "knowingly" to prove a violation.

The ACA added a provision that clarifies that with respect to violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute, "a

person need not have actual knowledge" of the Statute or specific intent to commit a violation of the

Statute. This change effectively overturns case law interpretations that set a higher standard under which

prosecutors had to prove the specific intent to violate the law. In addition, the ACA codified case law that a

claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute may

constitute a false or fraudulent claim for purpose of the federal civil False Claims Act.

The federal civil U.S. False Claims Act prohibits, among other things, any person or entity from knowingly

presenting, or causing to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment or approval to the federal

government or knowingly making, using or causing to be made or used a false record or statement

material to a false or fraudulent claim to the federal government. A claim includes "any request or

demand" for money or property presented to the United States government. The civil False Claims Act

also applies to false submissions that cause the government to not receive a benefit to which it is entitled,

such as a discounted sales price for products covered by federal healthcare programs. Intent to deceive

is not required to establish liability under the civil False Claims Act. In addition, the civil False Claims Act

includes a whistleblower provision that allows private citizens to bring claims on behalf of the United

States government alleging violations of the law. Whistleblowers may be entitled to up to as much as

thirty percent (30%) of the government's financial recovery resulting from such claims. This incentivizes

potential whistleblowers to file complaints in federal court, which complaints are relied upon heavily by the

government to investigate and prosecute allegations of violations of both the civil False Claims Act and

the Anti-Kickback Statute.

Many medical device, pharmaceutical, biotech and other healthcare companies have been investigated or

prosecuted under these healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations. Investigations, prosecutions

(and settlements) relate to a wide range of activities, including among other things, improper clinical

studies, provision of consulting fees to physicians for services that were not commercially reasonable,

providing free product to customers to induce them to do business with the manufacturer, providing high

value meals to customers to induce them to do business with the manufacturer, or providing non-

compliant discounts or rebates to customers, with the expectation that the customers would bill federal

programs for the product or the medical services that involve the product. Other companies have been

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

investigated or prosecuted for causing false claims to be submitted by, among other things, marketing of

products for unapproved, and thus noncovered, uses, or for promotion of uses inconsistent with approved

labeling ("off label" promotion).

The United States government may further prosecute conduct constituting a false claim under the criminal

False Claims Act. The criminal False Claims Act prohibits the making or presenting of a claim to the

government knowing such claim to be false, fictitious, or fraudulent and, unlike the civil False Claims Act,

requires proof of intent to submit a false claim.

In addition to the Anti-Kickback Statute and the civil and criminal False Claims Acts, the United States

federal government has the authority to seek civil monetary penalties, assessments and exclusions

against an individual or entity based on a wide variety of prohibited conduct. For example, the Civil

Monetary Penalties Law authorizes the imposition of substantial civil money penalties against an entity

that engages in activities including: (i) knowingly presenting or causing to be presented, a claim for

services not provided as claimed or which is otherwise false or fraudulent in any way; (ii) knowingly giving

or causing to be given false or misleading information reasonably expected to influence the decision to

discharge a patient; (iii) offering or giving remuneration to any beneficiary of a federal healthcare program

likely to influence the receipt of reimbursable items or services; (iv) arranging for reimbursable services

with an entity which is excluded from participation from a federal healthcare program; (v) knowingly or

willfully soliciting or receiving remuneration for a referral of a federal healthcare program beneficiary; or

(vi) using a payment intended for a federal healthcare program beneficiary for another use.

There are other federal anti-fraud laws, including the Health Information Portability and Accountability

Act's fraud provisions, that prohibit, among other actions, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting

to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private payors, knowingly and

willfully embezzling or stealing from a healthcare benefit program, willfully obstructing a criminal

investigation of a healthcare offense, and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a

material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the

delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services.

Finally, many states and foreign countries have similar healthcare fraud and abuse statutes or regulations

that may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services

reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.

Violations any of these laws or any other governmental regulations that may apply to us may result in

significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, imprisonment or

exclusion of devices from government-funded healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid or

comparable foreign programs.

***Physician Payment Sunshine Act***

Transparency laws regarding payments or other transfers of value provided to certain licensed healthcare

professionals and teaching hospitals may also impact our business practices. The federal Physician

Payment Sunshine Act requires most medical device manufacturers, including Heartflow, to track and

report annually to the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS")

financial arrangements, payments, and other transfers of value made by that entity to physicians (defined

to include doctors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists, and chiropractors), other healthcare providers (such

as physician assistants and nurse practitioners) and teaching hospitals, as well as ownership and

investment interests held by such physicians and their immediate family members. The payment

information is made publicly available in a searchable format on the CMS Open Payments website.

Similar laws have been enacted or are under consideration in several states and foreign jurisdictions,

including states such as Massachusetts and Vermont, and countries like France, which has adopted the

Loi Bertrand, or French Sunshine Act, which became effective in 2013. We will need to dedicate

significant resources to establish and maintain systems and processes in order to comply with these

regulations. Failure to comply with these federal reporting requirements can result in significant civil

monetary penalties. In addition, information reported to HHS, since it is publicly reported, can potentially

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

be used by a whistleblower to bring claims under the civil False Claims Act alleging that certain payments

or transfers of value gave rise to kickbacks or false claims.

***The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act***

The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") prohibits any U.S. individual or business from promising,

offering, paying, providing or authorizing the provision of money or anything else of value, directly or

indirectly, to any foreign official, political party candidate or certain other persons (including health care

professionals of state-funded hospitals) for the purpose of influencing any act or decision of the foreign

entity in order to assist the individual or business in obtaining, retaining or directing business. The FCPA

also obligates companies whose securities are listed in the United States to comply with accounting

provisions requiring them to maintain books and records that accurately and fairly reflect all transactions

of the corporation, including international subsidiaries, and to devise and maintain an adequate system of

internal accounting controls for domestic and international operations. Activities that violate the FCPA,

even if they occur wholly outside the United States, can result in criminal and civil fines, imprisonment,

disgorgement, oversight, and debarment from government contracts. In addition, several other domestic

and international anti-corruption or anti-bribery laws within and outside the United States apply to our

business.

***Privacy, security and breach notification***

Other federal and state laws and regulations restrict or otherwise impact our business practices. These

laws include, without limitation, data privacy, security and breach notification authorities.

HIPAA, as amended by HITECH, requires health plans, certain healthcare providers and healthcare

clearinghouses, referred to as "Covered Entities," to protect the privacy and security of certain types of

health information, referred to as protected health information ("PHI"). HIPAA also imposes various

requirements on "Business Associates" — entities performing services for, or on behalf of, a Covered

Entity that has access to the Covered Entity's PHI in connection with providing those services as well as

their covered subcontractors. Three key sets of federal regulations implementing HIPAA — the Privacy,

Security Breach Notification and Omnibus Rules (collectively, "HIPAA Rules") set forth a number of

standards that Covered Entities and Business Associates must meet with respect to protecting the privacy

and security of PHI. HIPAA also regulates standardization of data content, codes and formats used in

healthcare transactions and standardization of identifiers for health plans and providers.

Our customers are Covered Entities under HIPAA, and, in some cases, Heartflow may be considered a

Business Associate to such Covered Entities when they pay Heartflow for certain services that involve the

sharing of PHI with Heartflow. When Heartflow bills payors directly for the services, Heartflow is acting as

a Covered Entity. Whether acting as a Business Associate, covered subcontractor, or a Covered Entity,

Heartflow has obligations to comply with HIPAA and the HIPAA Rules, and either contractual obligations

to its Covered Entity Customers or statutory and contractual obligations to ensure that any sub-Business

Associates comply. This requires risk assessments and a wide range of compliance policies, procedures

and practices to safeguard.

Penalties for violations of HIPAA regulations include civil and criminal penalties. Our failure to comply with

HIPAA could result in significant criminal and civil penalties and other damages which could adversely

affect our results of operations, financial position or cashflows. We have developed and implemented

processes designed to comply with HIPAA and are continuing to assess the need for additional

safeguards, policies, procedures, and programing and to develop them where necessary. The

requirements under HIPAA may change periodically and could have an effect on our business operations

if compliance becomes substantially more costly than under current requirements. Additionally, a breach

of unsecured PHI, such as by employee error or an attack by an outsider, could have an adverse effect on

our business in terms of potential penalties and corrective action required, in addition to reputational

damage.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

In addition to HIPAA and other federal privacy regulations, there are a number of state laws governing

privacy, confidentiality and security of health information that apply to our business. Most states also have

authorities governing breach notification. New laws governing privacy, security, and breach notification

may be adopted in the future as well. We have undertaken measures to comply with health information

privacy requirements to which we know we are subject. However, we can provide no assurance that we

are or will always remain in compliance with diverse and changing privacy, security, and breach

notification requirements in all of the jurisdictions in which we do business. Failure to comply with privacy

security or breach notification requirements could result in civil or criminal penalties, which could have an

adverse effect on our business. Our failure to adequately protect personal or health related information

could have an adverse effect on our business. A wide variety of provincial, state, national and

international laws and regulations apply to the creation, collection, use, retention, protection, disclosure,

transfer, and other processing of personal information, including protected health information. These data

protection and privacy and security related laws and regulations are evolving and being tested in courts,

and may result in ever increasing regulatory and public scrutiny and escalating levels of enforcement and

sanctions. Our failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, or to protect such data, could result

in enforcement action against us, including fines, imprisonment of company officials and public censure,

claims for damages by end customers and other affected individuals, damage to our reputation and loss

of goodwill (both in relation to existing end customers and potential end customers), any of which could

have an adverse effect on our operations, financial performance, and business. Evolving and changing

definitions of personal data and personal information, within the European Union, the United States and

elsewhere, especially relating to classification of IP addresses, machine identification, location data, and

other information, may limit or inhibit our ability to operate or expand our business. Even the perception of

privacy concerns, whether or not valid, may harm our reputation and inhibit adoption of our product by

current and future end customers.

***Healthcare reform***

Current and future U.S. legislative proposals to further reform healthcare or reduce healthcare costs may

result in low, or even no, reimbursement for our product, or for the procedures associated with the use of

our product, or limit coverage of our product. The cost containment measures that payors and providers

are instituting and the effect of any healthcare reform initiative implemented in the future could

significantly reduce our revenues from the sale of our product. Alternatively, the shift away from fee-for-

service agreements to capitated payment models supports the value of our product, as they are intended

to reduce longitudinal resource utilization, which can be cost saving for both payors and providers.

The ACA was enacted in March 2010. As a U.S.-based company with anticipated sales in the United

States, these healthcare reform laws will materially impact our business. Certain provisions of the ACA

are still set to become effective in future years and the administrative agencies responsible for issuing

regulations that implement some aspects of the laws have yet to do so.

There have been numerous legal challenges and Congressional actions and amendments to certain

aspects of the ACA. For example, on August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") was

signed into law, which, among other things, extends enhanced subsidies for individuals purchasing health

insurance coverage in ACA marketplaces through plan year 2025. The IRA also eliminates the "donut

hole" under the Medicare Part D program beginning in 2025 by significantly lowering the beneficiary

maximum out-of-pocket cost and creating a new manufacturer discount program. Additionally, on July 4,

2025, the annual reconciliation bill, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," or OBBBA, was signed into law which

is expected to reduce Medicaid spending and enrollment by implementing work requirements for some

beneficiaries, capping state-directed payments, reducing federal funding, and limiting provider taxes used

to fund the program. OBBBA also narrows access to ACA marketplace exchange enrollment and declines

to extend the ACA enhanced advanced premium tax credits, set to expire in 2025, which, among other

provisions in the law, are anticipated to reduce the number of Americans with health insurance. Further, it

is unclear whether there will be additional attempts to repeal the ACA outright or further pare back its

subsidies and enrollment periods.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

The uncertain fate of the ACA notwithstanding, we expect that the ACA, as well as other healthcare

reform measures that may be adopted in the future, particularly in light of the recent changes in the White

House and Congress, may result in more rigorous coverage criteria and in additional downward pressure

on the price that we may receive for our products. Any reduction in payments from Medicare or other

government programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The

implementation of cost containment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being

able to generate additional revenue or attain profitability.

**Employees and human capital resources**

As of March 31, 2025, we had 699 full-time employees globally. We believe the success of our business

will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, in particular highly skilled

technology personnel. Our employees are not subject to a collective bargaining agreement, and we

believe that we have good relations with our employees.

Our human capital resources objectives include attracting and retaining top talent, investing in our talent

with leadership development and job-related technical training, and increasing diverse representation in

our employee base through inclusivity initiatives that build on our culture of inclusion and belonging. The

principal purposes of our equity incentive plans are to attract, retain and motivate employees, consultants

and directors through the granting of stock-based compensation awards and cash-based performance

bonus awards.

**Facilities**

Our corporate headquarters and research and development facilities are located in Mountain View,

California, where we lease approximately 61,500 square feet of office space under a lease agreement

that expires in August 2030. We also lease and occupy approximately 26,400 square feet in Austin, Texas

primarily for additional production personnel under a lease agreement that expires in December 2026. We

do not own any real property. We believe that these facilities are adequate for the foreseeable future.

**Legal proceedings**

We have become, and we may become in the future, involved in various legal proceedings arising from

the normal course of business activities. We are not presently a party to any litigation the outcome of

which, we believe, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together, materially and

adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. However, we may from time to

time be involved in various claims and legal proceedings of a nature we believe are normal and incidental

to a business such as ours. These matters may include employment, contract, intellectual property,

product liability and other general claims. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact

on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

**Corporate information**

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 2007. On March 1, 2021, we completed

an internal reorganization in which a newly formed parent holding company was put in place. The

previous holders of our common stock and preferred securities became holders of common stock and

preferred securities of HeartFlow Holding, Inc. The equity incentive plan, outstanding equity awards,

outstanding warrants and certain other equity-related agreements of HeartFlow, Inc. were assumed by

HeartFlow Holding, Inc. Our operations and business activities remained at HeartFlow, Inc., and the

wholly-owned non-U.S. subsidiaries of HeartFlow, Inc. remained in place. On July 17, 2025, we

consolidated HeartFlow Holding, Inc. into HeartFlow, Inc. and the previous holders of HeartFlow Holding,

Inc. common stock and preferred securities became holders of our common stock and preferred

securities and the equity incentive plan, outstanding equity awards, outstanding warrants and certain

other equity-related agreements of HeartFlow Holding, Inc. were assumed by us. In connection with this

consolidation, we changed our name to Heartflow, Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 331

E. Evelyn Avenue, Mountain View, California 94041, and our telephone number is (650) 241-1221. Our

which have exposed him to reporting and governance requirements, qualify him to serve on our board of

directors.

M.B.A. from the University of Chicago. We believe that Mr. Barabe's extensive finance experience, and

his service on the board of directors of several other publicly traded companies, qualifies Mr. Barabe to

serve on our board of directors.

***Julie A. Cullivan*** has served as a member of our board of directors since November 2020. She has

served as a Special Advisor to Brighton Park Capital, L.P., an investment firm specializing in software,

an A.B. in Chemistry from Harvard College and an M.D. from Yale University School of Medicine. We

believe that Dr. Downing's extensive investment and financial experience, particularly in the medical

sector, as well as his medical background qualifies Dr. Downing to serve on our board of directors. Dr.

Downing has notified us that he will resign from our board of directors upon, and subject to, the

commencement of trading of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Dr. Downing's

resignation is not due to any disagreement with us or any matters relating to our operations, policies or

Lightcap to serve on our board of directors.

experience as a practicing physician and his leadership, executive management and patient care skills at

other leading medical and educational institutions, as well as his prior public company board service,

qualify him to serve on our board of directors.

***Lonnie M. Smith*** has served as a member of our board of directors since September 2011. From 1997

until April 2020, Mr. Smith was the President and Chief Executive Officer and then Chairman of Intuitive

outcomes of patients. From 1978 until 1997, Mr. Smith was Senior Executive Vice President of

Hillenbrand Industries, a manufacturer and provider of products and services for the health care and

funeral services industries. During his tenure at Hillenbrand Industries, he was a member of the executive

committee, the office of the president and the board of directors. Mr. Smith has also held positions at The

Boston Consulting Group, a management consulting firm, and International Business Machines Corp, a

technology and consulting company. Mr. Smith served as chairman of the board of Tandem Diabetes

Care, Inc. (Nasdaq: TNDM), from 2013 until 2015. Mr. Smith received a B.S.E.E. from Utah State

University and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School. We believe that Mr. Smith's extensive medical,

management and directorship experience in the medical sector qualifies him to serve on our board of

directors. Mr. Smith has notified us that he will resign from our board of directors upon, and subject to, the

commencement of trading of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Mr. Smith's

resignation is not due to any disagreement with us or any matters relating to our operations, policies or

practices.

has served as a General Partner of U.S. Venture Partners, a venture capital firm. From 2001 until 2004,

Mr. Tansey served as the Chief Executive Officer and President of Epicor Medical, a medical device

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Inc., a medical device company, which is now part of the Johnson & Johnson family of companies. Prior

to that, he was with the cardiovascular division at Baxter Edward, a medical technology company, for

nearly ten years, holding various sales and marketing positions. Mr. Tansey currently serves on the board

of directors and as a member of the organization and compensation committee of Inspire Medical

Systems, Inc. (NYSE: INSP) and previously served on the board of directors of Intersect ENT, Inc. from

2006 until 2017. He also serves on the board of directors for a number of U.S. Venture Partners' portfolio

of private companies, including Cagent Vascular Inc., HighLife Medical Inc., Luminopia, Inc.,

MicroTransponder Inc., Neochord, Inc., Neuros Medical, Inc., ShiraTronics, Inc. and Shoulder

Innovations. Mr. Tansey received a B.S. and an M.B.A. from the Notre Dame De Namur University. We

believe that Mr. Tansey's extensive experience as a venture capital investor and as a member of the

boards of directors of multiple companies in the medical sector qualify him to serve on our board of

directors.

***Charles A. Taylor, Ph.D.*** is one of our founders, and has served as a member of our board of directors

since July 2007. He is currently the W.A. "Tex" Moncrief, Jr., Chair in Computational Medicine, and a

Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine and the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering

and Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Taylor served as the Chief Technology Officer from

April 2010 to February 2022 and then Chief Scientific Officer of the Company from February 2022 through

December 2023. Prior to joining the Company, Dr. Taylor was an Associate Professor in the Department

of Bioengineering and Surgery at Stanford University from July 1997 until August 2010, where he held

cardiovascular bioengineering and patient-specific modeling of blood flow in the cardiovascular system

and is also an inventor on more than 300 issued patents worldwide. In 2024, Dr. Taylor was inducted into

the U.S. National Academy of Engineering. We believe that Dr. Taylor's extensive knowledge of the

Company as its founder, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Scientific Officer, experience as an inventor

and knowledge of our industry qualifies him to serve on our board of directors.

**Family relationships** 

There are no family relationships among any of our executive officers or directors.

**Board composition and election of directors**

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. Our board of directors

currently consists of ten members: Mr. Barabe, Ms. Cullivan, Dr. Downing, Mr. Farquhar, Mr. Lightcap, Dr.

Riley, Mr. Smith, Mr. Tansey, Dr. Taylor, and Mr. Weldon. Dr. Downing and Mr. Smith have each notified us

that they will resign from our board of directors upon the commencement of trading of our common stock

on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Under our amended and restated voting agreement ("Voting

Agreement"), which would terminate at the completion of this offering, the stockholders who are party to

the Voting Agreement have agreed to vote their respective shares to elect: (i) one director designated by

BCLS Fund III Investments, LP, currently Nicholas Downing, (ii) two directors designated by the holders of

our Series A, Series B-1, Series B-2, Series C, Series D and Series E redeemable convertible preferred

stock, currently Casey M. Tansey and Jeffrey C. Lightcap, (iii) our Chief Executive Officer, John C.M.

Farquhar, (iv) one director designated by our founders, currently Charles A. Taylor, and (v) Timothy C.

Barabe, Julie A. Cullivan, Wayne J. Riley, Lonnie M. Smith and William C. Weldon, as directors

designated by the majority of the foregoing directors. In connection with this offering, the Voting

Agreement will terminate. As a result, following this offering there will be no contractual obligations

regarding the election of our directors.

After this offering, the authorized number of directors may be changed by resolution of our board of

directors, subject to the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that will become

effective upon the completion of this offering.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**Director independence**

We have applied to have our common stock listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and this offering is

contingent upon obtaining such approval. Under the listing rules of the Nasdaq Global Select

Market ("Listing Rules"), independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company's board of

directors within a specified period following completion of this offering. In addition, the Listing Rules

require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company's audit, compensation,

and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. Under these rules, a director will

only qualify as an "independent director" if, in the opinion of the company's board of directors, that person

does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying

out the responsibilities of a director. Under the Listing Rules, certain types of relationships generally

occurring within the last three years will automatically disqualify a director as independent, such as if the

director is one of our employees, is in receipt of direct compensation from us in excess of $120,000 in a

twelve-month period, or is engaged, directly or indirectly in certain business dealings with us in excess of

specified thresholds.

Our board of directors has determined that none of Mr. Barabe, Ms. Cullivan, Mr. Lightcap, Dr. Riley, Mr.

Tansey or Mr. Weldon has a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in

carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and that each of such individuals are "independent directors"

in accordance with the Listing Rules. In making these determinations, our board of directors reviewed and

discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director's business and

personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management. Mr. Farquhar is not

considered independent by virtue of his position as our Chief Executive Officer, and Dr. Taylor is not

considered independent by virtue of his former employment with us within the last three years.

**Classified board of directors**

In accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which will be effective upon the

completion of this offering, our board of directors will be divided into three classes with staggered three-

year terms. At each annual general meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms

then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual

meeting following election. Our directors will be divided among the three classes as follows:

• The Class I directors will be John C.M. Farquhar, Charles A. Taylor and Julie A. Cullivan, and their

terms will expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders following effectiveness of the amended

and restated certificate of incorporation;

• The Class II directors will be Jeffrey C. Lightcap, Casey M. Tansey and Timothy C. Barabe, and their

terms will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders following effectiveness of the

amended and restated certificate of incorporation; and

• The Class III directors will be William C. Weldon and Wayne Riley, M.D., and their terms will expire at

the third annual meeting of stockholders following effectiveness of the amended and restated

certificate of incorporation.

The division of our board of directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or

prevent a change of our management or a change in control.

**Leadership structure of the board**

Our corporate governance guidelines to be in place upon the commencement of trading of our common

stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market will provide our board of directors with flexibility to combine or

separate the positions of Chair of the board of directors and Chief Executive Officer and to implement a

lead independent director in accordance with its determination regarding which structure would be in the

best interests of our company.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Mr. Weldon currently serves as our Chair of the board of directors and Mr. Farquhar serves as our Chief

Executive Officer. Our board of directors has concluded that our current leadership structure is

appropriate at this time. However, our board of directors will continue to periodically review our leadership

structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate.

**Board committees**

Our board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating

and corporate governance committee. Our board of directors may establish other committees to facilitate

the management of our business. The composition and functions of each committee are described below.

Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our board of

directors. Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for each committee that satisfies the

applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and Listing

Rules, which we will post on our website at www.heartflow.com upon the completion of this offering.

**Audit committee**

Our audit committee oversees our corporate accounting and financial reporting process and the quality

and integrity of our financial statements, the qualifications and performance of our independent registered

public accounting firm, our internal audit function and our risk management program. Among other

matters, the audit committee:

• oversees our independent registered public accounting firm, and has sole responsibility for the

appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of our independent registered public

accounting firm;

• evaluates the independent registered public accounting firm's qualifications, independence, and

performance;

• reviews and approves the scope of the annual audit and pre-approves all audit and non-audit fees

and services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm;

annual audit and the review of our interim financial statements, and reviews our financial statements

and our management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations to be

included in our annual and quarterly reports to be filed with the SEC;

• oversees our internal audit function;

• oversees our risk management program and reviews risks related to major financial risk exposures,

information security, regulatory compliance, and the steps our management has taken to monitor and

control these risks and exposures;

• establishes procedures for the receipt, retention, and treatment of any complaints received by us

regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters;

• reviews and approves all related person transactions; and

• reviews the audit committee charter and the audit committee's performance on an annual basis.

Our audit committee consists of Timothy C. Barabe, Julie A. Cullivan and Wayne Riley, M.D. Our board of

directors has determined that all members are independent under the Listing Rules and Rule 10A-3(b)(1)

of the Exchange Act. The chair of our audit committee is Mr. Barabe. Our board of directors has

determined that Mr. Barabe is an "audit committee financial expert" as such term is currently defined in

Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. Our board of directors has also determined that each member of our

audit committee can read and understand fundamental financial statements as required by the Listing

Rules.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**Compensation committee** 

Our compensation committee oversees our compensation policies, plans and benefit programs,

particularly as they apply to our executive officers. Among other matters, the compensation committee:

• reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to compensation of our Chief

Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of the Chief Executive Officer in light of those goals and

objectives and approves the compensation of Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluations;

• reviews and approves the compensation of our other executive officers;

• reviews and makes recommendations to our board of directors regarding non-employee director

compensation;

• reviews and approves or makes recommendations to our board of directors regarding the issuance of

stock options and other equity awards under our performance incentive plans;

• reviews the compensation committee charter and the compensation committee's performance on

annual basis.

Our compensation committee consists of Jeffrey C. Lightcap, Wayne Riley, M.D. and Casey M. Tansey.

Our board of directors has determined that all members are independent under the Listing Rules. The

chair of our compensation committee is Dr. Riley.

**Nominating and corporate governance committee** 

Our nominating and corporate governance committee oversees the nomination process for our directors

and policies relating to our corporate governance. Among other matters, the nominating and corporate

governance committee:

• identifies individuals qualified to be members of our board of directors, including candidates

recommended by stockholders, consistent with criteria approved by our board of directors;

• evaluates and makes recommendations to our board of directors of candidates for membership on

our board of directors and on each of the board's committees;

conduct and ethics and recommends and proposed changes to our board of directors;

matters, including recommendations regarding the size, structure and composition of our board of

directors and its committees.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Jeffrey C. Lightcap, Casey M. Tansey,

and William C. Weldon. Our board of directors has determined that all members are independent under

the Listing Rules. The chair of our nominating and corporate governance committee is Mr. Weldon.

**Compensation committee interlocks and insider participation** 

None of the members of our compensation committee (Jeffrey C. Lightcap, Wayne Riley, M.D. and Casey

M. Tansey) is or has been during the past fiscal year one of our employees or has been at any time one of

our officers, and none of such individuals has any relationship requiring disclosure under SEC rules

applicable to related person transactions. None of our executive officers currently serves, or has served

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

during the last fiscal year, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee (or other

board committee performing equivalent functions) of any entity that has one or more executive officers

serving as a member of our board of directors or on our compensation committee.

**Code of business conduct and ethics** 

In connection with this offering, our board of directors has adopted a written code of business conduct

and ethics to be effective upon the commencement of trading of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global

Select Market, which applies to all of our directors, executive officers, and employees, including our

principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer or controller, or

persons performing similar functions. The full text of our code of business conduct and ethics will be

posted on our website at www.heartflow.com upon the completion of this offering. The nominating and

corporate governance committee of our board of directors will be responsible for overseeing our code of

business conduct and ethics. We intend to disclose any future amendments to or waivers of our code of

business conduct and ethics applicable to our directors and officers, including our principal executive

officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar

functions to the extent required by applicable rules of the SEC or the Nasdaq Global Select Market, on

our website at the address identified above.

**Limitations on liability and indemnification matters** 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which will become effective upon the completion of

this offering, limit our directors' and officers' liability to us and our stockholders for monetary damages for

breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer to the fullest extent permitted under the General

Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"). Such provision will not eliminate or limit the

liability of:

• a director or officer for any breach of the director's or officer's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its

stockholders;

• a director or officer for any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or

a knowing violation of law;

• a director for an unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares;

• a director or officer for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal

benefit; or

• an officer in any action by or in the right of the corporation.

These limitations of liability do not apply to liabilities arising under federal securities laws and do not affect

the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

As permitted by the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that we will,

in certain situations, indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify other employees and other

agents, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any indemnified person is also entitled, subject to certain

limitations, to payment of expenses (including attorneys' fees) in advance of the final disposition of the

proceeding.

In addition, we have entered, and intend to continue to enter, into separate indemnification agreements

with our directors and officers. These indemnification agreements, among other things, require us to

indemnify our directors and officers for certain expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and

settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their

services as a director or officer, or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services

at our request. We also maintain a directors' and officers' insurance policy pursuant to which our directors

and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

We believe that these provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and these

indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,

officers, or control persons, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is

against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

**Executive and director compensation**

This section discusses the material components of the executive compensation program for our executive

**Narrative to the summary compensation table**

Each of our Named Executive Officers will participate in our senior leadership severance policy, as

described in "Senior leadership severance policy" below.

***Elements of compensation***

*2024 salaries*

In 2024, the named executive officers received an annual base salary to compensate them for services

rendered to the company. The base salary payable to each named executive officer is intended to provide

a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive's skill set, experience, role, and

responsibilities.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

For fiscal year 2024, Mr. Farquhar's annual base salary was $594,881 effective as of March 3, 2024 (and

it was $572,000 prior), Mr. Verghese's base salary was $404,250 effective as of March 3, 2024 (and it

was $385,000 prior) and Dr. Rogers's base salary was $535,600 effective as of February 7, 2021.

*2024 bonuses*

In 2024, Mr. Farquhar, Mr. Verghese and Dr. Rogers were eligible to earn annual cash bonuses targeted

at 100%, 50% and 50%, respectively, of their annual base salaries. Pursuant to our annual cash bonus

program, each named executive officer was eligible to earn his annual cash bonus based on the

attainment of pre-established annual company objectives. These pre-established objectives include

revenue, with a target of $120.1 million (weighted 40%), gross margin, with a target of 70.1% (weighted

20%), interactive product validation (weighted 20%), asymptomatic strategy (weighted 10%) and patient

care (weighted 10%). The actual achieved bonus amount was paid in 2025 based on achievement of

such objectives.

*Equity compensation*

Each of our named executive officers currently holds outstanding stock option awards granted pursuant to

the Company's 2009 Equity Incentive Plan as described in more detail in the section titled "—Outstanding

equity awards at year end" below.

In connection with this offering, we intend to adopt the 2025 Plan (as defined below) in order to facilitate

the grant of cash and equity incentives to directors, employees (including our named executive officers)

and consultants of our company and certain of our subsidiaries (if any) and to enable us to obtain and

retain the services of these individuals, which is essential to our long-term success. We expect that the

2025 Plan will be effective upon the commencement of trading of the Company's common stock on the

Nasdaq Global Select Market. For additional information about the 2025 Plan, please see the section

titled "—2025 performance incentive plan" below.

***Other elements of compensation***

*Retirement plans* 

We maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for our employees, including our named executive officers,

who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the

401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. We anticipate that, following the completion

of this offering, our named executive officers will continue to participate in this 401(k) plan on the same

terms as other full-time employees.

*Employee benefits and perquisites* 

All of our full-time employees, including our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in our

health and welfare plans, including:

• medical, dental, and vision benefits;

• medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts;

• short-term and long-term disability insurance; and

• life insurance.

We believe that the employee benefits described above are necessary and appropriate to provide a

competitive compensation package to our named executive officers.

*No tax gross-ups*

We do not make gross-up payments to cover our named executive officers' personal income taxes that

may pertain to any of the compensation or perquisites paid or provided by the Company.

In connection with the completion of this offering, we have adopted a senior leadership severance policy

(the "Severance Policy") covering each of our named executive officers, which sets forth the benefits

payable to participants upon qualifying terminations of employment. Under the Severance Policy, upon a

termination without "cause" or a resignation for "good reason" (as such terms are defined in the

Severance Policy) (a "Qualifying Termination"), provided that the participant executes and does not

revoke a general release of claims in favor of the Company and adheres to any restrictive covenants with

the Company to which he or she is bound, the participant will be entitled to receive a certain number of

months of base salary continuation based on his or her position at the Company (twelve (12) months for

Mr. Farquhar, nine (9) months for other C-level participants, and six (6) months for senior vice president-

level participants) (the "Severance Period"), with payment commencing on or within ten (10) days

following the sixtieth (60<sup>th</sup>) day following the participant's termination date. In addition, if the participant

elects continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act ("COBRA"), the

Company will pay or reimburse the participant for his or her COBRA premiums during the Severance

Period.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Upon a Qualifying Termination occurring within three (3) months prior to or twelve (12) months following a

"change in control" (as such term is defined in the Severance Policy), provided the participant executes

and does not revoke a general release of claims in favor of the Company and adheres to any restrictive

covenants with the Company to which he or she is bound, the participant will be entitled to receive a

certain number of months of base salary continuation based on his or her position at the Company

(eighteen (18) months for Mr. Farquhar, twelve (12) months for other C-level participants, and nine (9)

months for senior vice president-level participants) (the "CIC Severance Period") plus the participant's

target bonus for the year of termination, with payment commencing on or within ten (10) days following

the sixtieth (60<sup>th</sup>) day following the participant's termination date. In addition, all of the participant's

outstanding equity awards, to the extent unvested, will become fully vested and exercisable as of the

participant's termination date, and if the participant elects continuation coverage under COBRA, the

Company will pay or reimburse the participant for his or her COBRA premiums during the CIC Severance

Period.

The Severance Policy also contains a net-better Section 4999 cutback provision, which provides that, if

payments to a participant are subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, then such

payments would be reduced by the amount needed to avoid triggering such tax, provided that such

reduction leaves the participant in a better after-tax position than if such payments had not been reduced

(taking into account the effect of the excise tax).

**2024 non-employee director compensation table** 

We have paid certain of our non-employee directors, Mr. Weldon, Mr. Barabe, Mr. Riley, Mr. Smith, Mr.

Taylor and Ms. Cullivan, cash fees as set forth in the table below for their service on our board. We have

also reimbursed our directors for expenses associated with attending meetings of our board of directors

and committees of our board of directors.

Mr. Taylor, one of the Company's founders, served as our Chief Technology Officer from April 2010 to

February 2022 and as our Chief Scientific Officer from February 2022 through December 2023. In

connection with his termination of employment, we entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Taylor

with an employment termination date of December 1, 2023, which provided for certain benefits in

consideration for his execution of a general release of claims and adherence to the protective covenants

set forth therein. Those benefits include (i) severance payments equal to $658,341.76, payable 50% on

the effective date of the agreement and 50% on June 1, 2024, (ii) payment of COBRA benefits for 12

months, (iii) if the Company paid bonuses with respect to the 2023 fiscal year, payment of Mr. Taylor's

target bonus for such year, payable 50% in April 2024 and 50% in June 2024 and (iv) acceleration of 25%

of his then-unvested options.

In addition to his service on the board, since December 2023, Mr. Taylor has served as a consultant to us

and was paid cash fees of $3,178 in 2024 in consideration of his consulting services.

In connection with the completion of this offering, we intend to approve and implement a compensation

program for our non-employee directors that consists of annual retainer fees and long-term equity

awards.

**Director compensation policy**

In connection with the completion of this offering, we have adopted a director compensation policy

covering our non-employee directors (the "Director Compensation Policy"), which sets out a

compensation program for our non-employee directors consisting of annual retainer fees and long-term

equity awards. The Director Compensation Policy will become effective upon the commencement of

trading of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Under our Director Compensation Policy, each non-employee director is entitled to receive the following

cash compensation while serving on our Board:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Cash Compensation** | |
| Annual Cash Retainer...................................................................................................................... | $50000 |
| Annual Chairperson Retainer.......................................................................................................... | $45000 |

| Annual Compensation Committee Member Retainer.................................................................. | $7500 |
| Annual Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Member Retainer...................... | $5000 |

---

All annual retainers will be paid on a quarterly basis following the end of each calendar quarter in arrears,

and will be pro-rated if a non-employee director serves for only a portion of the calendar quarter.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

In addition, under the Director Compensation Policy, non-employee directors are entitled to receive the

following equity-based compensation while serving on our Board:

• New directors: Each new non-employee director appointed or elected to our Board (or any non-

employee director serving on the Board prior to the offering who did not receive compensation for

such services prior to such date) is entitled to receive a new director equity award valued at $500,000

in the form of nonqualified stock options as of the director's first date of service or the IPO, as the

case may be. Subject to the non-employee director's continued service through the applicable vesting

date, 1/3 of the new director equity award will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date and the

remaining 2/3 of the new director equity award will vest in 24 substantially equal monthly installments

thereafter.

• Continuing directors: On the date of the offering and on the date of each annual meeting of the

Company's stockholders thereafter, each continuing non-employee director is entitled to receive an

annual equity award valued at $250,000 in the form of nonqualified stock options. Subject to the non-

employee director's continued service through the applicable vesting date, the annual equity award

will vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant and the Company's annual meeting

of stockholders in the year following the year in which the annual equity award was granted.

**2025 performance incentive plan**

In connection with the completion of this offering, we have adopted the Heartflow, Inc. 2025 Performance

Incentive Plan (the "2025 Plan"), which will become effective upon the commencement of trading of the

Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The principal terms of the 2025 Plan are

summarized below.

***Purpose***

The purpose of the 2025 Plan is to promote the success of the Company by providing an additional

means for us to attract, motivate, retain and reward selected employees and other eligible persons

through the grant of awards. Equity-based awards are also intended to further align the interests of award

recipients and our stockholders.

***Administration***

Our Board of Directors or one or more committees appointed by our Board of Directors will administer the

2025 Plan. Our Board of Directors has delegated general administrative authority for the 2025 Plan to the

Compensation Committee and has also formed an Equity Awards Committee that is authorized to grant

awards under the 2025 Plan to participants who are not executive officers of the Company. The Board of

Directors or a committee thereof (within its delegated authority) may delegate different levels of authority

to different committees or persons with administrative and grant authority under the 2025 Plan. (The

appropriate acting body, be it the Board of Directors or a committee or other person within its delegated

authority is referred to in this proposal as the "Administrator").

The Administrator has broad authority under the 2025 Plan, including, without limitation, the authority:

• to select eligible participants and determine the type(s) of award(s) that they are to receive;

• to grant awards and determine the terms and conditions of awards, including the price (if any) to be

paid for the shares or the award and, in the case of share-based awards, the number of shares to be

offered or awarded;

• to determine any applicable vesting and exercise conditions for awards (including any applicable

performance and/or time-based vesting or exercisability conditions) and the extent to which such

conditions have been satisfied, or determine that no delayed vesting or exercise is required, to

determine the circumstances in which any performance-based goals (or the applicable measure of

performance) will be adjusted and the nature and impact of any such adjustment, to establish the

events (if any) on which exercisability or vesting may accelerate (including specified terminations of

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

employment or service or other circumstances), and to accelerate or extend the vesting or

exercisability or extend the term of any or all outstanding awards (subject in the case of options and

stock appreciation rights to the maximum term of the award);

• to cancel, modify, or waive the Company's rights with respect to, or modify, discontinue, suspend, or

terminate any or all outstanding awards, subject to any required consents;

• subject to the other provisions of the 2025 Plan, to make certain adjustments to an outstanding award

and to authorize the conversion, succession or substitution of an award;

• to determine the method of payment of any purchase price for an award or shares of the Company's

common stock delivered under the 2025 Plan, as well as any tax-related items with respect to an

award, which may be in the form of cash, check, or electronic funds transfer, by the delivery of

already-owned shares of the Company's common stock or by a reduction of the number of shares

deliverable pursuant to the award, by services rendered by the recipient of the award, by notice and

third party payment or cashless exercise on such terms as the Administrator may authorize, or any

other form permitted by law;

• to modify the terms and conditions of any award, establish sub-plans and agreements and determine

different terms and conditions that the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to comply with

laws in the countries where the Company or one of its subsidiaries operates or where one or more

eligible participants reside or provide services;

• to approve the form of any award agreements used under the 2025 Plan; and

• to construe and interpret the 2025 Plan, make rules for the administration of the 2025 Plan, and make

all other determinations for the administration of the 2025 Plan.

***Availability of repricing***

The Administrator may (1) amend an outstanding stock option or stock appreciation right to reduce the

exercise price or base price of the award, (2) cancel, exchange, or surrender an outstanding stock option

or stock appreciation right in exchange for cash or other awards for the purpose of repricing the award, or

(3) cancel, exchange, or surrender an outstanding stock option or stock appreciation right in exchange for

an option or stock appreciation right with an exercise or base price that is less than the exercise or base

price of the original award.

***Eligibility***

Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2025 Plan include officers or employees of the Company or

any of its subsidiaries, directors of the Company, and certain consultants and advisors to the Company or

any of its subsidiaries.

***Aggregate share limit***

The maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be issued or transferred

pursuant to awards under the 2025 Plan equals the sum of the following (such total number of shares, the

"Share Limit"):

• an aggregate number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to ten percent (10%) of the

total number of fully diluted shares of the Company's common stock outstanding (including, without

limitation, any outstanding warrants) as of the date of commencement of trading of the shares of the

Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the "Initial Trading Date"), plus

• the number of shares available for additional award grant purposes under the 2009 Plan as of the

Initial Trading Date and determined immediately prior to the termination of the authority to grant new

awards under that plan as of the Initial Trading Date, plus

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

• the number of any shares subject to stock options granted under the 2009 Plan and outstanding as of

the Initial Trading Date which expire, or for any reason are cancelled or terminated, after the date of

the Initial Trading Date without being exercised (which, for purposes of clarity, will become available

for award grants under the 2025 Plan on a one-for-one basis).

In addition, the Share Limit will automatically increase, if on the last day of the Company's fiscal year, the

Share Limit has not increased during such fiscal year pursuant to any Board-approved increase(s) by an

aggregate amount equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the total number of fully diluted shares of

the Company's common stock outstanding (including, without limitation, any outstanding warrants) on the

first day of such fiscal year (the "Minimum Annual Increase"), then in an amount equal to the difference

between the Minimum Annual Increase and the aggregate amount by which the Share Limit increased

pursuant to any Board-approved increase(s) during such fiscal year, effective as of the last day of such

fiscal year.

As noted above, no additional awards will be granted under the 2009 Plan if stockholders approve the

2025 Plan.

***Additional share limits***

The following other limits are also contained in the 2025 Plan. These limits are in addition to, and not in

lieu of, the Share Limit for the plan described above.

• The maximum number of shares that may be delivered pursuant to options qualified as incentive

stock options granted under the plan is 2,000,000 shares. (For clarity, any shares issued in respect of

incentive stock options granted under the plan will also count against the overall Share Limit above.)

• The maximum number of shares subject to awards that are granted under the 2025 Plan during any

one calendar year to any person who, on the grant date of the award, is a Non-Employee Director

shall not exceed the number of shares that produce a grant date fair value for the award that, when

combined with (i) the grant date fair value of any other awards granted under the 2025 Plan during

that same calendar year to that individual in his or her capacity as a Non-Employee Director and (ii)

the dollar amount of all other cash compensation payable by the Company to such Non-Employee

Director for his or her services in such capacity during that same calendar year (regardless of whether

deferred and excluding any interest or earnings on any portion of such amount that may be deferred),

is $750,000, provided that this limit is $1,000,000 as to any new Non-Employee Director for the

calendar year in which the non-employee director is first elected or appointed to the Board of

Directors. For purposes of this limit, the "grant date fair value" of an award means the value of the

award on the date of grant of the award determined using the equity award valuation principles

applied in the Company's financial reporting. This limit does not apply to, and will be determined

without taking into account, any award granted to an individual who, on the grant date of the award, is

an officer or employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries. This limit applies on an individual

basis and not on an aggregate basis to all Non-Employee Directors as a group.

***Share-limit counting rules***

The Share Limit of the 2025 Plan is subject to the following rules:

Shares that are subject to or underlie awards which expire or for any reason are cancelled or terminated,

are forfeited, fail to vest, or for any other reason are not paid or delivered under the 2025 Plan will not be

counted against the Share Limit and will again be available for subsequent awards under the 2025 Plan.

Except as described below, to the extent that shares are delivered pursuant to the exercise of a stock

appreciation right granted under the 2025 Plan, the number of underlying shares which are actually

issued in payment of the award shall be counted against the Share Limit. (For purposes of clarity, if a

stock appreciation right relates to 100,000 shares and is exercised at a time when the payment due to the

participant is 15,000 shares, 15,000 shares shall be charged against the Share Limit with respect to such

exercise.)

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Shares that are exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Company to pay the exercise price of a

stock option or stock appreciation right granted under the 2025 Plan, as well as any shares exchanged or

withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to any stock option, stock appreciation right or

any other award will not be counted against the Share Limit and will again be available for subsequent

awards under the 2025 Plan. Shares that are exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Company as

full or partial payment in connection with any award granted under the 2025 Plan will not be counted

against the Share Limit and will again be available for subsequent awards under the 2025 Plan.

In addition, shares that are exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Company after the Initial

Trading Date as full or partial payment in connection with any award granted under the 2009 Plan, as well

as any shares exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Company after the Initial Trading Date to

satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to any award granted under the 2009 Plan, shall be

available for new awards under the 2025 Plan.

To the extent that an award is settled in cash or a form other than shares, the shares that would have

been delivered had there been no such cash or other settlement will not be counted against the Share

Limit and will again be available for subsequent awards under the 2025 Plan.

In the event that shares are delivered in respect of a dividend equivalent right, the actual number of

shares delivered with respect to the award shall be counted against the Share Limit. (For purposes of

clarity, if 1,000 dividend equivalent rights are granted and outstanding when the Company pays a

dividend, and 50 shares are delivered in payment of those rights with respect to that dividend, 50 shares

shall be counted against the Share Limit.) Except as otherwise provided by the Administrator, shares

delivered in respect of dividend equivalent rights shall not count against any individual award limit under

the 2025 Plan other than the aggregate Share Limit.

In addition, the 2025 Plan generally provides that shares issued in connection with awards that are

granted by or become obligations of the Company through the assumption of awards (or in substitution for

awards) in connection with an acquisition of another company will not count against the shares available

for issuance under the 2025 Plan. The Company may not increase the applicable share limits of the 2025

Plan by repurchasing shares of common stock on the market (by using cash received through the

exercise of stock options or otherwise).

***Types of awards***

The 2025 Plan authorizes stock options, stock appreciation rights, and other forms of awards granted or

denominated in the Company's common stock or units of the Company's common stock, as well as cash

bonus awards. The 2025 Plan retains flexibility to offer competitive incentives and to tailor benefits to

specific needs and circumstances. Any award may be structured to be paid or settled in cash.

A stock option is the right to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a future date at a

specified price per share (the "exercise price"). The per share exercise price of an option generally may

not be less than the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.

The maximum term of an option is ten years from the date of grant. An option may either be an incentive

stock option or a nonqualified stock option. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of

the Company or a subsidiary.

A stock appreciation right is the right to receive payment of an amount equal to the excess of the fair

market value of share of the Company's common stock on the date of exercise of the stock appreciation

right over the base price of the stock appreciation right. The base price will be established by the

Administrator at the time of grant of the stock appreciation right and generally may not be less than the

fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Stock appreciation

rights may be granted in connection with other awards or independently. The maximum term of a stock

appreciation right is ten years from the date of grant.

The other types of awards that may be granted under the 2025 Plan include, without limitation, stock

bonuses, restricted stock, performance stock, restricted stock units, stock units or phantom stock (which

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

are contractual rights to receive shares of stock, or cash based on the fair market value of a share of

stock), dividend equivalents which represent the right to receive a payment based on the dividends paid

on a share of stock over a stated period of time, or similar rights to purchase or acquire shares, and cash

awards.

Any awards under the 2025 Plan (including awards of stock options and stock appreciation rights) may be

fully-vested at grant or may be subject to time- and/or performance-based vesting requirements.

***Dividend equivalents; deferrals***

The Administrator may provide for the deferred payment of awards, and may determine the other terms

applicable to deferrals. The Administrator may provide that awards under the 2025 Plan (other than

options or stock appreciation rights), and/or deferrals, earn dividends or dividend equivalents based on

the amount of dividends paid on outstanding shares of Common Stock, provided that any dividends and/

or dividend equivalents as to the portion of an award that is subject to unsatisfied vesting requirements

will be subject to termination and forfeiture to the same extent as the corresponding portion of the award

to which they relate in the event the applicable vesting requirements are not satisfied (or, in the case of a

restricted stock or similar award where the dividend must be paid as a matter of law, the dividend

payment will be subject to forfeiture or repayment, as the case may be, if the related vesting conditions

are not satisfied).

***Assumption and termination of awards***

If an event occurs in which the Company does not survive (or does not survive as a public company in

respect of its common stock), including, without limitation, a dissolution, merger, combination,

consolidation, conversion, exchange of securities, or other reorganization, or a sale of all or substantially

all of the business, stock or assets of the Company, awards then-outstanding under the 2025 Plan will not

automatically become fully vested pursuant to the provisions of the 2025 Plan so long as such awards are

assumed, substituted for or otherwise continued. However, if awards then-outstanding under the 2025

Plan are to be terminated in such circumstances (without being assumed or substituted for), such awards

would generally become fully vested (with any performance goals applicable to the award being deemed

met at the "target" performance level), subject to any exceptions that the Administrator may provide for in

an applicable award agreement. The Administrator also has the discretion to establish other change in

control provisions with respect to awards granted under the 2025 Plan. For example, the Administrator

could provide for the acceleration of vesting or payment of an award in connection with a corporate event

or in connection with a termination of the award holder's employment.

***Transfer restrictions***

Subject to certain exceptions contained in Section 5.6 of the 2025 Plan, awards under the 2025 Plan

generally are not transferable by the recipient other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution

and are generally exercisable, during the recipient's lifetime, only by the recipient. Any amounts payable

or shares issuable pursuant to an award generally will be paid only to the recipient or the recipient's

beneficiary or representative. The Administrator has discretion, however, to establish written conditions

and procedures for the transfer of awards to other persons or entities, provided that such transfers comply

with applicable federal and state securities laws and are not made for value (other than nominal

consideration, settlement of marital property rights, or for interests in an entity in which more than 50% of

the voting securities are held by the award recipient or by the recipient's family members).

***Adjustments***

As is customary in incentive plans of this nature, each share limit and the number and kind of shares

available under the 2025 Plan and any outstanding awards, as well as the exercise or purchase prices of

awards, and performance targets under certain types of performance-based awards, are subject to

adjustment in the event of certain reorganizations, mergers, combinations, recapitalizations, stock splits,

stock dividends, or other similar events that change the number or kind of shares outstanding, and

extraordinary dividends or distributions of property to the stockholders.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

***No limit on other authority***

Except as expressly provided with respect to the termination of the authority to grant new awards under

the 2009 Plan if stockholders approve the 2025 Plan, the 2025 Plan does not limit the authority of the

Board of Directors or any committee to grant awards or authorize any other compensation, with or without

reference to the Company's common stock, under any other plan or authority.

***Termination of or changes to the 2025 plan***

The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the 2025 Plan at any time and in any manner.

Stockholder approval for an amendment will be required only to the extent then required by applicable law

or deemed necessary or advisable by the Board of Directors. Unless terminated earlier by the Board of

Directors and subject to any extension that may be approved by stockholders, the authority to grant new

awards under the 2025 Plan will terminate at the close of business on the day before the tenth

anniversary of the effective date of the 2025 Plan. Outstanding awards, as well as the Administrator's

authority with respect thereto, generally will continue following the expiration or termination of the plan.

Generally speaking, outstanding awards may be amended by the Administrator (except for a repricing),

but the consent of the award holder is required if the amendment (or any plan amendment) materially and

adversely affects the holder.

**Amended and restated 2009 equity incentive plan**

The following summarizes the material terms of our Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Incentive Plan

(the "2009 Plan"), under which we have previously made periodic grants of equity and equity-based

awards to our named executive officers and other key employees. Upon the commencement of trading of

the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the 2025 Plan will become effective

and no more grants may be made under the 2009 Plan.

The 2009 Plan was adopted by the board of directors of Heartflow, Inc. in 2009 and was amended and

restated effective March 1, 2021 in connection with a reorganization of Heartflow, Inc. in which the 2009

Plan and all outstanding award agreements thereunder were assigned to and assumed by HeartFlow

Holding, Inc. As of March 31, 2025, a total of 25,066,625 shares of common stock were then subject to

outstanding awards granted under the 2009 Plan, and an additional 561,738 shares of common stock

were then available for new award grants under the 2009 Plan. With respect to the stock options then-

outstanding on this date, the weighted-average exercise price of such options was $1.71 per share, and

the weighted-average remaining term of these options was 7.77 years.

***Purpose***

The purpose of the 2009 Plan is to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of

substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to employees, directors and consultants, and to

promote the success of our business.

***Administration***

The 2009 Plan is administered by our board of directors (the "Board") or a committee thereof (the

"Administrator"). The Administrator has the discretion to (i) determine the fair market value of our common

stock, (ii) select the employees, directors and consultants to whom awards may be granted under the

2009 Plan, (iii) determine the number of shares of our common stock to be covered by each award

granted under the 2009 Plan, (iv) approve forms of award agreements for use under the 2009 Plan, (v)

determine the terms and conditions of any award granted under the 2009 Plan, (vi) institute and

determine the terms and conditions of an award exchange, (vii) construe and interpret the terms of the

2009 Plan and awards granted thereunder, (viii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations

relating to the 2009 Plan, (ix) modify or amend outstanding awards granted under the 2009 Plan, subject

to certain restrictions set forth in the 2009 Plan, (x) determine procedures for recipients to satisfy

withholding tax obligations, (xi) authorize any person to execute on our behalf any instrument required to

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of shares that otherwise would be due to such recipient

jurisdictions and afford recipients who are foreign nationals or are employed outside the United States

favorable treatment under such rules or laws, and (xiv) make all other determinations deemed necessary

or advisable for administering the 2009 Plan. All decisions, or actions taken, by the plan administrator or

in connection with the administration of the 2009 Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons

having an interest in the 2009 Plan.

***Eligibility***

Our employees and consultants, employees and consultants of our parents or subsidiaries (if any), and

non-employee members of our Board are eligible to receive awards under the 2009 Plan, provided that

only employees may be granted awards intended as incentive stock options. As of December 31, 2024,

approximately 606 of our and our subsidiaries' officers and employees (including all of our named

executive officers), and each of the nine non-employee members of our Board, were considered eligible

under the 2009 Plan. In addition, approximately 13 individual consultants and advisors engaged by us

and our subsidiaries were then considered eligible under the 2009 Plan.

***Share reserve***

As of March 31, 2025, a total of 30,787,082 shares of our common stock had been authorized for

issuance under the 2009 Plan, 25,066,625 shares were subject to stock options then-outstanding under

the 2009 Plan, no shares were subject to restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards then-

outstanding under the 2009 Plan, and 561,738 shares were available for issuance under the 2009 Plan.

***Types of awards***

The 2009 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and

restricted stock units. Awards granted under the 2009 Plan are generally not transferable by the recipient

other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and are generally exercisable, during the

recipient's lifetime, only by the recipient.

• *Stock Options*. A stock option is the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a future date at

a specified price per share (the "exercise price"). The per share exercise price of an option generally

may not be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. The

maximum term of an option is ten years from the date of grant. An option may either be an incentive

stock option or a non-qualified stock option. Incentive stock option benefits are taxed differently from

nonqualified stock options, are subject to more restrictive terms, and are limited in amount by the U.S.

Internal Revenue Code and the 2009 Plan. Incentive stock options may only be granted to our and

our subsidiaries' employees.

• *Stock Appreciation Rights*. A stock appreciation right is the right to receive payment of an amount

equal to the excess of the fair market value of share of our common stock on the date of exercise of

the stock appreciation right over the base price of the stock appreciation right. The base price will be

established by the Administrator at the time of grant of the stock appreciation right and generally may

not be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock

appreciation rights may be granted in connection with other awards or independently.

• *Restricted Stock*. A share of restricted stock is granted subject to vesting, transfer restrictions and

other restrictions as determined by the Administrator, or is a share issued pursuant to the early

exercise of a stock option. Recipients of restricted stock, unlike recipients of stock options and

restricted stock units, have voting rights and the right to receive dividends, if any, prior to the time

restrictions lapse with respect to such shares, however, extraordinary dividends will generally be

placed in escrow, and will not be released until restrictions are removed or expire.

• *Restricted Stock Units*. A restricted stock unit is a bookkeeping entry representing an amount equal to

the fair market value of a share that is granted subject to vesting, transfer restrictions and other

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

restrictions as determined by the Administrator. Unlike restricted stock, shares underlying restricted

stock units will not be issued until the restricted stock units have vested, and recipients of restricted

stock units generally have no voting or dividend rights prior such conditions being satisfied.

***Adjustments***

As is customary in incentive plans of this nature, the share limit, the number and kind of shares available

under the 2009 Plan, any outstanding awards as well as the exercise or purchase prices of awards, and

performance targets under certain types of performance-based awards, are subject to adjustment in the

event of certain reorganizations, mergers, combinations, recapitalizations, stock splits, stock dividends, or

other similar events that change the number or kind of shares outstanding, and extraordinary dividends or

distributions of property to the stockholders.

***Assumption and termination of awards***

If an event occurs that results in a change in control of us or in which we otherwise do not survive (or do

not survive as a public company in respect of our common stock), including, without limitation, a merger,

combination, consolidation, conversion, exchange of securities, or other reorganization, or a sale of all or

substantially all of our business, stock or assets, awards then-outstanding under the 2009 Plan will not

automatically become fully vested pursuant to the provisions of the 2009 Plan so long as such awards are

assumed or substituted. However, if awards then-outstanding under the 2009 Plan are to be terminated in

such circumstances (without being assumed or substituted), such awards would generally become fully

vested (with any performance goals applicable to the award being deemed met at the "target"

performance level and all other terms and conditions met), subject to any exceptions that the

Administrator may provide for in an applicable award agreement. The Administrator also has the

discretion to establish other change in control provisions with respect to awards granted under the 2009

Plan. If we are wound up pursuant to a dissolution or liquidation, awards then-outstanding under the 2009

Plan will terminate immediately prior to such event.

***No limit on other authority***

The 2009 Plan does not limit the authority of the Board or any committee thereof to grant awards or

authorize any other compensation, with or without reference to our common stock, under any other plan

or authority.

***Termination of or changes to the 2009 plan***

The Board may amend or terminate the 2009 Plan at any time and in any manner. Stockholder approval

for an amendment will be required only to the extent then required by applicable law or deemed

necessary or advisable by the Board. Unless terminated earlier by the Board, the authority to grant new

awards under the 2009 Plan will terminate on March 21, 2031. Outstanding awards, as well as the

Administrator's authority with respect thereto, generally will continue following the expiration or

termination of the 2009 Plan. Generally speaking, outstanding awards may be amended by the

Administrator (except for a repricing), but the consent of the award holder is required if the amendment

(or any plan amendment) impair the rights of the holder.

**2025 employee stock purchase plan**

In connection with the completion of this offering, we have adopted the Heartflow, Inc. 2025 Employee

Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"), which will become effective upon the commencement of trading of the

Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The principal terms of the ESPP are

summarized below.

***Purpose***

The purpose of the ESPP is to provide eligible employees with an opportunity to purchase shares of the

Company's common stock at a favorable price and upon favorable terms in consideration of the

participating employees' continued services. The ESPP is intended to provide an additional incentive to

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

participating eligible employees to remain in the Company's employ and to advance the best interests of

the Company and those of the Company's stockholders.

***Operation of the ESPP***

It is currently expected that the ESPP will operate in successive periods referred to as "Offering Periods."

The ESPP administrator may change the duration of Offering Periods from time to time in advance of the

applicable Offering Period, provided that no Offering Period may be shorter than three months or longer

than 27 months. The ESPP administrator may also provide that an Offering Period will consist of multiple

"purchase periods," with a purchase of shares under the ESPP to occur at the end of each such purchase

period. However, only one Offering Period may be in effect at any one time.

On the first day of each Offering Period (referred to as the "Grant Date"), each eligible employee who has

timely filed a valid election to participate in the ESPP for that Offering Period will be granted an option to

purchase shares of the Company's common stock (each, a "Purchase Option"). A participant must

designate in the election the percentage of the participant's compensation to be withheld from his or her

pay during that Offering Period for the purchase of stock under the ESPP. The participant's contributions

under the ESPP will be credited to a bookkeeping account in his or her name. A participant generally may

elect to terminate, but may not otherwise increase or decrease, his or her contributions to the ESPP

during an Offering Period. Amounts contributed to the ESPP constitute general corporate assets of the

Company and may be used for any corporate purpose.

Each Purchase Option granted under the ESPP will automatically be exercised on the last day of the

Offering Period with respect to which it was granted, or the last day of each purchase period for an

Offering Period that consists of multiple purchase periods (each such date on which ESPP Purchase

Options are exercised is referred to as an "Purchase Date"). The number of shares acquired by a

participant upon exercise of his or her Purchase Option will be determined by dividing the participant's

ESPP account balance as of the Purchase Date by the "Purchase Price" (as such term is defined in the

ESPP) for the applicable period. The determination of the Purchase Price for each Offering Period (or

each purchase period within an Offering Period) will be established by the ESPP administrator in advance

of the applicable period, except that in no event may the Purchase Price be lower than the <u>lesser</u> of (i)

85% of the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock on the applicable Grant Date, or

(ii) 85% of the fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock on the applicable Purchase

Date. A participant's ESPP account will be reduced upon exercise of his or her Purchase Option by the

amount used to pay the Purchase Price for the shares acquired by the participant. No interest will be paid

to any participant or credited to any account under the ESPP.

***Eligibility***

Only certain employees will be eligible to participate in the ESPP. To participate in an Offering Period, on

the Grant Date of that period an individual must:

• be employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries that has been designated as a participating

subsidiary;

• be customarily employed for more than 20 hours per week; and

• be customarily employed for more than five months per calendar year.

***Limits on authorized shares; limits on contributions***

If stockholders approve the ESPP, the maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock

initially available for delivery under the plan will be an aggregate number of shares equal to one and a half

percent (1.5%) of the total number of fully diluted shares of the Company's common stock outstanding

(including, without limitation, any outstanding warrants) as of the date of commencement of trading of the

shares of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. In addition, this share limit

will automatically increase on the first trading day in January of each of the calendar years during the term

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

of the ESPP, with the first such increase to occur in January 2026, by an amount equal to the <u>lesser</u> of (A)

one percent of the total number of shares of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding on

December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year or (B) such number of shares of the Company's

common stock as may be established by the Board of Directors.

Participation in the ESPP is also subject to the following limits:

• A participant cannot contribute more than 15% of his or her compensation to the purchase of stock

under the ESPP in any one payroll period.

• A participant cannot purchase more than 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock under the

ESPP in any one Offering Period (subject to adjustment by the ESPP administrator for any Offering

Period that is longer or shorter than six months).

• A participant cannot purchase more than $25,000 of stock (valued at the start of the applicable

Offering Period and without giving effect to any discount reflected in the purchase price for the stock)

under the ESPP in any one calendar year.

• A participant will not be granted a Purchase Option under the ESPP if it would cause the participant to

own stock and/or hold outstanding options to purchase stock representing 5% or more of the total

combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or one of its subsidiaries or to

the extent it would exceed certain other limits under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").

We have the flexibility to change the 15%-contribution and the individual-share limit referred to above

from time to time without stockholder approval. However, we cannot increase the aggregate-share limit

under the ESPP, other than to reflect stock splits and similar adjustments as described below, without

stockholder approval. The $25,000 and the 5% ownership limitations referred to above are required under

the Code.

***Antidilution adjustments***

As is customary in stock incentive plans of this nature, the number and kind of shares available under the

ESPP, as well as ESPP purchase prices and share limits, are subject to adjustment in the case of certain

corporate events. These events include reorganizations, mergers, combinations, consolidations,

recapitalizations, reclassifications, stock splits, stock dividends, asset sales or other similar unusual or

extraordinary corporate events, or extraordinary dividends or distributions of property to our stockholders.

***Termination of participation***

A participant's election to participate in the ESPP will generally continue in effect for all Offering Periods

until the participant files a new election that takes effect or the participant ceases to participate in the

ESPP. A participant's participation in the ESPP generally will terminate if, prior to the applicable Purchase

Date, the participant ceases to be employed by the Company or one of its participating subsidiaries or the

participant is no longer scheduled to work more than 20 hours per week or five months per calendar year.

If a participant's ESPP participation terminates during an Offering Period for any of the reasons discussed

in the preceding paragraph, the participant will no longer be permitted to make contributions to the ESPP

for that Offering Period and, subject to limited exceptions, the participant's Purchase Option for that

Offering Period will automatically terminate and his or her ESPP account balance will be paid to him or

her in cash without interest. However, a participant's termination from participation will not have any effect

upon his or her ability to participate in any succeeding Offering Period, provided that the applicable

eligibility and participation requirements are again then met.

***Transfer restrictions***

A participant's rights with respect to Purchase Options or the purchase of shares under the ESPP, as well

as contributions credited to his or her ESPP account, may not be assigned, transferred, pledged or

otherwise disposed of in any way except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

***Administration***

The ESPP is administered by the Board of Directors or by a committee appointed by the Board of

Directors. The Board of Directors has appointed the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors

as the administrator of the ESPP. The administrator has full power and discretion to adopt, amend or

rescind any rules and regulations for carrying out the ESPP and to construe and interpret the ESPP.

Decisions of the ESPP administrator with respect to the ESPP are final and binding on all persons.

***No limit on other plans***

The ESPP does not limit the ability of the Board of Directors or any committee of the Board of Directors to

grant awards or authorize any other compensation, with or without reference to the Company's common

stock, under any other plan or authority.

***Amendments***

The Board of Directors generally may amend or terminate the ESPP at any time and in any manner,

provided that the then-existing rights of participants are not materially and adversely affected thereby.

Stockholder approval for an amendment to the ESPP will only be required to the extent necessary to

meet the requirement of Section 423 of the Code or to the extent otherwise required by law or applicable

listing rules. The ESPP administrator also may, from time to time, without stockholder approval, designate

those subsidiaries of the Company whose employees may participate in the ESPP and make certain

other administrative changes as authorized by the plan.

***Termination***

No new Offering Periods will commence under the ESPP on or after the tenth anniversary of the effective

date of the ESPP, unless the Board of Directors terminates the ESPP earlier. The ESPP will also

terminate earlier if all of the shares authorized under the ESPP have been purchased. If an event occurs

in which the Company does not survive (or does not survive as a public company in respect of its

common stock), subject to any provision made by the Board of Directors for the assumption or

continuation of the Purchase Options then outstanding under the ESPP, the Offering Period then in

progress will be shortened and the outstanding Purchase Options will automatically be exercised on a

date established by the ESPP administrator that is not more than 10 days before the closing of the

transaction.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

5% of our capital stock, or any affiliate or member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons, had

**2025 convertible promissory notes financing**

In January and March 2025, we entered into note purchase agreements with various investors, pursuant

to which we issued an aggregate of $98.3 million in principal amount of subordinated convertible

promissory notes (the "2025 Convertible Notes") to investors, including related parties, with original

maturity dates of 48 months from the initial issuance of the notes. Pursuant to the January 2025 note

purchase agreement, (i) the first closing occurred on January 24, 2025, at which time we issued $44.6

million in principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes and (ii) the second closing occurred on January

31, 2025, at which time we issued $3.7 million in principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes.

Pursuant to the March 2025 note purchase agreement, the closing occurred on March 26, 2025, at which

time we issued $50.0 million in principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes. The aggregate principal

amount outstanding under the 2025 Convertible Notes will be automatically converted upon the

completion of this offering into shares of our common stock without interest.

**Amendment No. 1 to 2024 Credit Agreement and related matters**

On January 24, 2025, in connection with the issuance of the 2025 Convertible Notes, we entered into

Amendment No. 1 to the 2024 Credit Agreement, pursuant to which our lender, Hayfin, converted $23.0

million of outstanding indebtedness under the 2024 Term Loan to 2025 Convertible Notes (the "2024 Term

Loan Conversion") under the same terms as the other purchasers of the 2025 Convertible Notes, as

described above. As a result, Hayfin became a holder of 5% or more of our capital stock. For more

information about the 2024 Credit Agreement, as amended, see "Management's discussion and analysis

of financial condition and results of operations—Liquidity and capital resources—Hayfin credit agreement"

and Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

In connection with the prior credit agreement with Hayfin that was refinanced by the 2024 Credit

Agreement, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 541,389 shares of common stock to Hayfin.

As a result of the Series F redeemable convertible preferred stock financing referred to below, the

antidilution adjustments of these warrants resulted in the issuance to Hayfin in March 2023 of additional

warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,269,801 shares of our common stock. The warrants have an

exercise price of $0.01 per share of common stock.

**Series F and Series F-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock financing**

In March 2023, we entered into a Series F and Series F-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock

purchase agreement with various investors, pursuant to which we issued an aggregate of 61,344,029

shares of Series F redeemable convertible preferred stock at a cash purchase price of $2.8505 per share

for gross proceeds of $174.9 million in multiple closings and 21,465,064 shares of Series F-1 redeemable

convertible preferred stock at a purchase price of $1.9098 per share for gross proceeds of $41.0 million

(the "Series F and Series F-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock financing"). The Series F-1

redeemable convertible preferred stock was issued upon conversion of the indebtedness under

outstanding subordinated convertible promissory notes issued by the Company from September 30, 2022

to December 16, 2022, in the aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million.

**Principal stockholders**

The following table sets forth, as of June 30, 2025, information regarding beneficial ownership of our

capital stock by:

• each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our

common stock;

• each of our named executive officers;

• each of our directors; and

• all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

The percentage ownership information under the column titled "Beneficial ownership prior to this offering"

is based on&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2025

including 149,581,073 shares of our common stock resulting from the Preferred Stock Conversion

and &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of our common stock resulting from the conversion of the 2025 Convertible Notes

(based on the assumed initial public offering price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share, which is the midpoint of the price

range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus), in each case as if such conversion had occurred as

of June 30, 2025. The ownership information under the column titled "Beneficial ownership after this

offering" assumes the foregoing and the issuance of&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of common stock in this offering

and assumes no exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares. In addition, the

following table does not reflect any shares of common stock that may be purchased in this offering.

We have determined beneficial ownership according to the rules and regulations of the SEC, which

generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if they or it possesses sole or

shared voting or investment power of that security. In addition, shares of common stock issuable upon the

exercise of stock options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of June

30, 2025 are included in the following table. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially

owned by the person holding those options or warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage

ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the

percentage ownership of any other person. The information contained in the following table does not

necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons

or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown

as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

**Description of capital stock**

*The following descriptions are summaries of our capital stock and the material terms of our amended and* 

*restated certificate of incorporation, which will become effective upon the completion of this offering, and* 

*our amended and restated bylaws, which will become effective upon the effectiveness of the amended* 

*and restated certificate of incorporation. Because the following descriptions are only summaries, they do* 

*not contain all of the information that may be important to you. Reference is made to the more detailed* 

*provisions of, and the descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to, these documents, copies* 

*of which are filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part,* 

*and applicable law.*

**General**

Upon the completion of this offering and the filing of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation,

our authorized capital stock will consist of 300,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value $0.001 per

share, of which:

• 250,000,000 shares are designated as common stock; and

• 50,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock.

As of March 31, 2025, there would have been &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of common stock outstanding, held of

record by&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; stockholders, assuming the conversion of 122,231,454 of our outstanding redeemable

convertible preferred stock immediately prior to the completion of this offering and 2025 Convertible Notes

upon the completion of this offering into&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of common stock, based on the assumed initial

public offering price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover

page of this prospectus. On&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; , 2025, we consummated a &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; -for-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; reverse stock split of

our common stock.

**Common stock**

***Voting rights***

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of

stockholders.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will not provide for cumulative voting for the

election of directors. Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of preferred stock, director

candidates standing for election will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by our stockholders present

in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Our amended and restated

certificate of incorporation will retain a classified board of directors, divided into three classes with

staggered three-year terms. Only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of our

stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective terms.

***Dividend rights***

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any preferred stock, the holders of our common stock

will be entitled to receive ratably, on a per share basis, any dividends declared by our board of directors

out of assets legally available.

***Liquidation rights***

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any preferred stock, in the event of any voluntary or

involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, after payment or provision for payment of our debts and

other liabilities, the holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to receive, ratably in proportion

to the number of shares held by the holder, all our remaining assets available for distribution to our

stockholders.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

***No preemptive or similar rights***

The holders of our common stock will not be entitled to preemptive, subscription or conversion rights.

There will be no redemption or sinking fund provisions.

**Preferred stock**

Immediately prior to the completion of this offering, all outstanding shares of our redeemable convertible

preferred stock will be converted into shares of our common stock. Our amended and restated certificate

of incorporation will authorize 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock and will provide that preferred stock

may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our board of directors will be authorized to fix the

voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional, special and

other rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each

series. These rights, powers and preferences could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting

rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms, and the number of shares

constituting, or the designation of, such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of

common stock. Our board of directors will be able to, without stockholder approval, issue shares of

preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of

the holders of the common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our board of directors

to issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying,

deferring or preventing a change of control or the removal of existing management.

**Stock options**

As of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding 25,066,625 shares of our common stock issuable upon the

exercise of outstanding stock options, with a weighted-average exercise price of $1.71 per share,

and 15,554,075 shares were unvested, with a weighted average exercise price of $1.59 per share. For

additional information regarding the terms of our equity incentive plans, see the section titled "Executive

and director compensation—2025 Performance incentive plan" and "Executive and director compensation

—Amended and restated 2009 equity incentive plan."

**Warrants**

As of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,811,190 shares of our

common stock, with an exercise price of $0.01 per share, issuable upon the exercise of such outstanding

warrants. The warrants will terminate on the ten-year anniversary of the issuance date, however, the

warrants will automatically net exercise immediately prior to termination if the fair market value of one

share of common stock exceeds the then current exercise price per share of common stock. In

connection with certain change of control transactions, which include SPAC combinations, mergers,

consolidations and the sale or lease of substantially all of the assets of the Company, the warrants will

also automatically net exercise if the fair market value of one share of common stock exceeds the then

current exercise price per share of common stock. The warrants do not automatically net exercise in

connection with an initial public offering.

**Registration rights**

Upon the completion of this offering and subject to the lock-up agreements entered into in connection with

this offering and federal securities laws, holders of shares of our common stock that will be issued upon

the conversion of our redeemable convertible preferred stock in connection with this offering and the

holder of shares of our common stock issuable or issued upon exercise of certain outstanding warrants to

purchase shares of our common stock will initially be entitled to certain registration rights under the

Securities Act. These securities are referred to as registrable securities. The holders of these registrable

securities possess registration rights pursuant to the terms of the Investors' Rights Agreement and are

described in additional detail below. The registration of shares of our common stock pursuant to the

exercise of the registration rights described below would enable the holders to trade the registered shares

without restriction under the Securities Act when the applicable registration statement is declared

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

effective. We will pay the registration expenses, other than underwriting discounts, selling commissions,

stock transfer taxes, and fees and disbursements in excess of $100,000 to one counsel for the holders, of

the securities registered pursuant to the demand, Form S-3 and piggyback registrations described below.

Generally, in an underwritten offering, the managing underwriter, if any, has the right, subject to specified

conditions and limitations, to limit the number of securities the holders may include. The demand, Form

S-3 and piggyback registration rights described below will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) a

Liquidation Event (as defined in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation) where the

stockholders receive cash and/or publicly traded securities or the holders receive reasonably comparable

registration rights, (ii) with respect to each holder, such time after the completion of this offering after

which Rule 144 of the Securities Act ("Rule 144") or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is

available for the sale of all of such holder's shares without limitation, during a three-month period without

registration and such holder holds less than 1% of the outstanding capital stock of the company or (iii) the

date three years after the completion of this offering.

***Demand registration rights***

Upon the completion of this offering, holders of up to approximately&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; million shares of our common

stock issued upon conversion of our redeemable convertible preferred stock and the holder of warrants to

purchase up to an aggregate of&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of our common stock will be entitled to certain demand

registration rights. Beginning six months after the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this

prospectus is a part, holders holding, collectively, at least a majority of the registrable securities held by

the holders of common stock issued upon conversion of our redeemable convertible preferred stock then

outstanding may, on not more than two occasions, request that we register at least 40% of the registrable

securities held by the holders of common stock issued upon conversion of our redeemable convertible

preferred stock then outstanding on a Form S-1 registration statement, subject to certain specified

exceptions. If we determine that it would be seriously detrimental to us and our stockholders to effect

such a demand registration, we have the right to defer such registration, not more than twice in any 12-

month period, for a period of up to 120 days. In addition, we will not be required to effect a demand

registration during the period beginning 60 days prior to our good faith estimate of the date of the filing of

and ending on a date 180 days following the effectiveness of a registration statement relating to a

registration initiated by us or if registration on Form S-3 is available.

***Form S-3 registration rights***

Upon the completion of this offering, holders of up to approximately&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; million shares of our common

stock issued upon conversion of our redeemable convertible preferred stock and the holder of warrants to

purchase up to an aggregate of&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of our common stock will be entitled to certain Form S-3

registration rights. At any time when the company is qualified to file a Form S-3 registration statement,

holders holding, collectively, at least 30% of the registrable securities then outstanding may request that

we register registrable securities having an anticipated aggregate offering price of at least $10.0 million,

net of underwriting discounts and certain other expenses. These holders may make an unlimited number

of requests for registration on Form S-3; however, we will not be required to effect a registration on Form

S-3 if we have effected two such registrations pursuant to such requests within the 12-month period

preceding the date of the request. In addition, if we determine that it would be seriously detrimental to us

and our stockholders to effect such a registration, we have the right to defer such registration, not more

than twice in any 12-month period, for a period of up to 120 days. Lastly, we will not be required to effect a

registration on Form S-3 during the period beginning 30 days prior to our good faith estimate of the date

of the filing of and ending on a date 90 days following the effectiveness of a registration statement relating

to a registration initiated by us.

***Piggyback registration rights***

Pursuant to the Investors' Rights Agreement, if we register any of our securities either for our own account

or for the account of other security holders, other than through this offering, holders of up to

approximately&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; million shares of our common stock issued upon conversion of our redeemable

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

convertible preferred stock and the holder of warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of

our common stock will be entitled to customary "piggyback" registration rights allowing them to include

their securities in such registration, subject to specified conditions, limitations and exceptions.

**Anti-takeover effects of provisions of the proposed amended and restated** 

**certificate of incorporation and bylaws and applicable law**

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws will contain provisions that could have

the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us. These

provisions and certain provisions of Delaware law, which are summarized below, could discourage

takeovers, coercive or otherwise, and as a consequence, they might also inhibit temporary fluctuations in

the market price of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts.

These provisions are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to

negotiate first with our board of directors. It is also possible that these provisions might have the effect of

preventing changes in our management and could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that

stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

***Classified board of directors***

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that our board of directors be classified

into three classes of directors, with each class serving a staggered three-year term. As a result, in most

circumstances, a person can gain control of our board of directors only by successfully engaging in a

proxy contest at two or more annual meetings of our stockholders.

***Authorized but unissued shares***

Our authorized but unissued common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuances

without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future

offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized

but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage

an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

***Written consent; special meeting of stockholders***

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws will provide that stockholder action may

not be taken by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special

meeting of our stockholders.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws will provide that, subject to the rights of

any holders of preferred stock, special meetings of our stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may

be called only by (i) the chair of the board, (ii) the chief executive officer or (iii) the secretary at the

direction of our board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of our board of directors.

***Advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations***

Our amended and restated bylaws will provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before the

annual meeting of our stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at the annual

meeting of our stockholders or, in certain instances as provided in our bylaws, a special meeting of our

stockholders must provide timely notice of their intent in writing.

To give timely notice, the notice must be delivered to the secretary at our principal executive offices not

later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the 120th day prior to the first anniversary

of the preceding year's annual meeting. However, if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days

before or more than 70 days after such anniversary date, the notice must be delivered not earlier than the

120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th

day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the

date of the annual meeting is first made or sent by us.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Our amended and restated bylaws will also specify certain informational and other requirements as to the

form and content of the notice. These provisions, if not satisfied on a timely basis or at all, may preclude

our stockholders from bringing business or director nominations before the meeting of our stockholders.

***Election and removal of directors***

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws will contain provisions that establish

specific procedures for appointing and removing members of the board of directors.

Under the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our directors may be removed from office,

but only for cause, which requires approval by the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent

(66-2/3%) of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in

the election of directors.

Vacancies and newly created directorships on our board of directors may be filled only by a majority vote

of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by

stockholders). Any new director shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors

to which the new directorship was added or in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor

has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director's earlier death, resignation, retirement,

disqualification or removal. The treatment of vacancies has the effect of making it more difficult for

stockholders to change the composition of the board of directors.

***No cumulative voting***

The DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless

a corporation's certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of

incorporation will not authorize cumulative voting rights for our stockholders.

The absence of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for a minority stockholder to gain a seat on our

board of directors to influence a decision by our board of directors, including regarding any potential

merger, tender offer or other potential takeover transaction.

***Amendments to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws***

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws will provide that the affirmative vote of

holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all then-outstanding

shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors is required to amend certain

provisions of our certificate of incorporation, including provisions relating to the size of the board, removal

of directors, special meetings, actions by written consent and cumulative voting. The affirmative vote of

holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then

outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors will be required to

amend or repeal our bylaws, although our bylaws may be amended by a simple majority vote of our board

of directors.

***Delaware anti-takeover statute***

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL regulating corporate takeovers. In general,

Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging, under certain circumstances, in

a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date the

person became an interested stockholder unless:

• prior to the date of the transaction, our board of directors approved either the business combination or

the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

• upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested

stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation

outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting

stock outstanding, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder, (A)

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (B) shares owned by employee

stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether

shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

• at or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by our board of

directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent,

by the affirmative vote of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66-2/3%) of the outstanding voting

stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in

a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an "interested stockholder"

is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the

determination of interested stockholder status, owned 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock. This

provision is expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions our board of directors

does not approve in advance. Moreover, Section 203 may discourage attempts that might result in a

premium over the market price for the shares of our common stock held by stockholders.

***Choice of forum***

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will generally designate, unless we otherwise

consent in writing, the Court of Chancery (or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction

thereof, the federal district court of the State of Delaware) as the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any

derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a

fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, employee or agent to us or our stockholders,

or any claim for aiding and abetting any such alleged breach, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising

pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws or

as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or (iv) any

action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the law of the State of Delaware.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will also provide that the federal district courts of

the United States will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of

action arising under the Securities Act. Further, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will

provide that the foregoing choice of forum provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability

have exclusive jurisdiction.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will also provide that any person or entity

purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any of our securities shall be deemed to have

notice of and consented to the foregoing provisions of the amended and restated certificate of

incorporation. Although our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will contain the choice of

forum provision described above, it is possible that a court could find that such a provision is inapplicable

for a particular claim or action or that such provision is unenforceable.

This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it

finds favorable for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers, other employees or stockholders,

which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims, although our stockholders will not be deemed

to have waived our compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Furthermore, the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies' certificates of

incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these

types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable.

***Limitations on liability and indemnification***

For a discussion of liability and indemnification, see the section titled "Management—Limitations on

liability and indemnification matters."

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**Transfer agent and registrar**

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock will be Fidelity Stock Transfer Solutions LLC. The

transfer agent's address is 245 Summer Street, Boston, MA 02210.

**Nasdaq listing** 

We have applied to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "HTFL,"

and this offering is contingent upon obtaining such approval.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**Shares eligible for future sale**

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock, and a liquid trading market

for our common stock may not develop or be sustained after this offering. Future sales of our common

stock, including shares issued upon the Preferred Stock Conversion, the Convertible Notes Conversion

and the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, in the public market after the completion of this

offering, or the perception that those sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price

for our common stock from time to time or impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future. Although

we have applied to have our common stock listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, we cannot assure

you that there will be an active public market for our common stock. As described below, only a limited

number of shares of our common stock will be available for sale in the public market for a period of

several months after the completion of this offering due to contractual and legal restrictions on resale

described below. Future sales of our common stock in the public market either before or after restrictions

lapse, or the perception that those sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of

our common stock at such time and our ability to raise equity capital at a time and price we deem

appropriate.

**Sale of restricted shares**

Based on the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025, upon the

completion of this offering and assuming (i) the Preferred Stock Conversion, (ii) the Convertible Notes

Conversion, (iii) no exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares of our common

stock and (iv) no exercise of outstanding options or warrants, we will have outstanding an aggregate

of&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of common stock.

Of these shares, all of the&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of common stock to be sold in this offering will be freely

tradable in the public market without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless the

shares are held by any of our "affiliates" as such term is defined in Rule 144 or subject to lock-up

agreements. All remaining shares of common stock held by existing stockholders will be "restricted

securities," as such term is defined in Rule 144. These restricted securities were issued and sold by us in

private transactions and are eligible for public sale only if registered under the Securities Act or if they

qualify for an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, including the exemptions provided by

Rule 144 or Rule 701 of the Securities Act ("Rule 701"), which rules are summarized below.

As a result of the lock-up agreements referred to below and the provisions of Rule 144 and Rule 701,

based on the number of shares of our common stock outstanding (calculated as of March 31, 2025 on the

basis of the assumptions described above and assuming no exercise of the underwriters' option to

purchase additional shares, if any, and no exercise of outstanding options), the shares of our common

stock (excluding the shares sold in this offering) that will be available for sale in the public market are as

follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Approximate** <br>**number of shares**<br>| **First date available for sale into public market** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares | 181 days after the date of this prospectus, upon expiration of the lock-up market stand-off <br>agreements referred to below, subject in some cases to applicable volume, manner of <br>sale and other limitations under Rule 144 and Rule 701.<br>|

---

We may issue shares of common stock from time to time as consideration for future acquisitions,

investments, or other corporate purposes. In the event that any such acquisition, investment, or other

transaction is significant, the number of shares of common stock that we may issue may in turn be

significant. We may also grant registration rights covering those shares of common stock issued in

connection with any such acquisition and investment.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

In addition, the shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2025 Plan will become

eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by the provisions of various vesting schedules,

the lock-up agreements, a registration statement under the Securities Act, or an exemption from

registration, including Rule 144 and Rule 701.

**Rule 144**

Under Rule 144, as currently in effect, once we have been subject to the public company reporting

requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days, and we are current in our Exchange Act reporting

at the time of sale, a person (or persons whose shares are required to be aggregated) who is not deemed

to have been one of our "affiliates" for purposes of Rule 144 at any time during the 90 days preceding a

sale and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six

months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our "affiliates," is entitled to sell

those shares in the public market (subject to the lock-up agreement referred to below, if applicable)

without complying with the manner of sale, volume limitations, or notice provisions of Rule 144, but

subject to compliance with the public information requirements of Rule 144. If such a person

has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least one year, including the holding period

of any prior owner other than "affiliates," then such person is entitled to sell such shares in the public

market without complying with any of the requirements of Rule 144 (subject to the lock-up agreement

referred to below, if applicable).

In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, once we have been subject to the public company

reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days, our "affiliates," as defined in Rule 144,

who have beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least six months, are entitled to sell in

the public market, upon expiration of any applicable lock-up agreements and within any three-month

period, a number of those shares of our common stock that does not exceed the greater of:

• 1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will equal

approximately&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of common stock immediately upon the completion of this

offering (calculated as of March 31, 2025 on the basis of the assumptions described above and

assuming no exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares and no exercise of

outstanding options or warrants subsequent to March 31, 2025); or

• the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market during

the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

Such sales under Rule 144 by our "affiliates" or persons selling shares on behalf of our "affiliates" are also

subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements, and requirements related to the

availability of current public information about us. Notwithstanding the availability of Rule 144, the holders

of substantially all of our restricted securities have entered into lock-up agreements as referenced above,

and their restricted securities will become eligible for sale (subject to the above limitations under Rule

144) upon the expiration of the restrictions set forth in those agreements.

**Rule 701**

In general, under Rule 701 as currently in effect, any of our employees, directors, officers, consultants, or

advisors who acquired common stock from us in connection with a written compensatory stock or option

plan or other written agreement in compliance with Rule 701 before the effective date of the registration

statement of which this prospectus is a part (to the extent such common stock is not subject to a lock-up

agreement) and who are not our "affiliates" as defined in Rule 144 during the immediately preceding 90

days, is entitled to rely on Rule 701 to resell such shares beginning 90 days after the date of this

prospectus in reliance on Rule 144, but without complying with the notice, manner of sale, public

information requirements, or volume limitation provisions of Rule 144. Persons who are our "affiliates"

may resell those shares beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus without compliance with

minimum holding period requirements under Rule 144 (subject to the terms of the lock-up agreement

referred to below, if applicable).

**Lock-up and market stand-off agreements**

In connection with this offering, we, our directors, our executive officers, and the holders of substantially

all of our common stock, stock options, and other securities convertible into or exercisable or

exchangeable for our common stock, have agreed, that without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan

Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Piper Sandler & Co. on behalf of the underwriters, subject

to certain exceptions more fully described under the section titled "Underwriting", we and they will not,

among other things, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of our securities during the period from

the date of this prospectus continuing through the date 180 days after the date of this prospectus. See the

section titled "Underwriting" for additional information.

In addition to the restrictions contained in the lock-up agreements described above, we have entered into

agreements with certain securityholders, including the Investors' Rights Agreement, our standard form of

option agreement and warrants that contain market stand-off provisions or incorporate market stand-off

provisions from our equity incentive plan imposing restrictions on the ability of such securityholders to

offer, sell, or transfer our equity securities for a period of 180 days following the date of this prospectus.

Following the lock-up periods set forth in the agreements described above, and assuming that J.P.

Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Piper Sandler & Co. do not release any parties

from these agreements, all of the shares of our common stock that are restricted securities or are held by

our affiliates as of the date of this prospectus will be eligible for sale in the public market in compliance

with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

**Registration rights**

Upon the completion of this offering, the holders of approximately&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of our common stock

will be entitled to rights with respect to the registration of their shares under the Securities Act, subject to

the lock-up agreements described under "—Lock-up agreements" above. Registration of these shares

under the Securities Act would result in the shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the

Securities Act, except for shares purchased by affiliates, immediately upon the effectiveness of the

relevant filed registration statement, subject to the terms of the lock-up agreements described above. Any

sales of securities by these stockholders could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our

common stock.

**Equity incentive plans**

We intend to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register

our shares issued or reserved for issuance under our equity incentive plans. Such registration statement

is expected to be filed and become effective as soon as practicable after the completion of this offering.

Accordingly, shares registered under such registration statement will be available for sale in the open

market following its effective date, subject to Rule 144 volume limitations, vesting restrictions, and the

lock-up agreements described above, if applicable.

**Rule 10b5-1 trading plans**

Following the completion of this offering, certain of our officers, directors, and significant stockholders may

adopt written plans, known as Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, in which they will contract with a broker to buy

or sell shares of our common stock on a periodic basis to diversify their assets and investments. Under

these Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, a broker may execute trades pursuant to parameters established by the

officer, director, or stockholder when entering into the plan, without further direction from such officer,

director, or stockholder. Such sales would not commence until the expiration of the applicable lock-up

agreements entered into by such officer, director, or stockholder in connection with this offering.

**Material U.S. federal income tax consequences to non-U.S.** 

**holders**

The following discussion is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to Non-U.S.

Holders (as defined below) of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of our common stock issued

pursuant to this offering, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The

effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local, or

non-U.S. tax laws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of

1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and

published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), in

each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing

interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that

could adversely affect a Non-U.S. Holder. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS

regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a

contrary position to that discussed below regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership,

and disposition of our common stock.

This discussion is limited to Non-U.S. Holders that hold our common stock as a "capital asset" within the

meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not

address all U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to a Non-U.S. Holder's particular

circumstances, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income and the

alternative minimum tax. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to Non-U.S. Holders

subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

• U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

• persons holding our common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, or other risk reduction strategy or as

part of a conversion transaction or other integrated investment;

• banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions;

• brokers, dealers, or traders in securities;

• "controlled foreign corporations," "passive foreign investment companies," and corporations that

accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

• partnerships or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax

purposes (and investors therein);

• tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;

• persons deemed to sell our common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code;

• persons who hold or receive our common stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock

option or otherwise as compensation;

• tax-qualified retirement plans; and

• "qualified foreign pension funds" as defined in Section 897(l)(2) of the Code and entities all of the

interests of which are held by qualified foreign pension funds.

If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our common stock, the tax

treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the

partnership, and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships holding our

common stock and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S.

federal income tax consequences to them.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE.** 

**INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION** 

**OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS** 

**ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, AND DISPOSITION OF OUR** 

**COMMON STOCK ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER** 

**THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY** 

**APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.**

**Definition of a Non-U.S. Holder**

For purposes of this discussion, a "Non-U.S. Holder" is any beneficial owner of our common stock that is

neither a "U.S. person" nor an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S.

person is any person that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following:

• an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

• a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the

District of Columbia;

• an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

• a trust that (i) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and all substantial decisions of

which are subject to the control of one or more "United States persons" (within the meaning of Section

7701(a)(30) of the Code), or (ii) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person

for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

**Distributions**

As described in the section titled "Dividend policy," we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the

foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions of cash or property on our common stock, such

distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our

current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles.

Amounts not treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will constitute a return of capital

and first be applied against and reduce a Non-U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in its common stock, but

not below zero. Any excess will be treated as capital gain and will be treated as described under the

subsection titled "—Sale or other taxable disposition" below.

Subject to the discussion below regarding effectively connected income, dividends paid to a Non-U.S.

Holder will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividends

(or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty, provided the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes a

valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) certifying qualification for the

lower treaty rate). A Non-U.S. Holder that does not timely furnish the required documentation, but that

qualifies for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an

appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding

their entitlement to benefits under any applicable tax treaties.

If dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a

trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-

U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such dividends are

attributable), the Non-U.S. Holder will be exempt from the U.S. federal withholding tax described above.

To claim the exemption, the Non-U.S. Holder must furnish to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS

Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct

of a trade or business within the United States.

Any such effectively connected dividends will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis

at the regular rates applicable to U.S. persons. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be

subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

treaty) on such effectively connected dividends, as adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. Holders should

consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

**Sale or other taxable disposition**

A Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or

other taxable disposition of our common stock unless:

• the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business within the

United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a

permanent establishment in the United States to which such gain is attributable);

• the Non-U.S. Holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or

more during the taxable year of the disposition and certain other requirements are met; or

• our common stock constitutes a U.S. real property interest ("USRPI") by reason of our status as a

U.S. real property holding corporation ("USRPHC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net

income basis at the regular rates applicable to U.S. persons. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also

may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable

income tax treaty) on such effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items.

A Non-U.S. Holder described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at

a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on gain realized upon the

sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock, which may be offset by certain U.S. source capital

losses of the Non-U.S. Holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United

States), provided the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to

such losses.

With respect to the third bullet point above, we believe we currently are not, and do not anticipate

becoming, a USRPHC. Because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends, however, on

the fair market value of our USRPIs relative to the fair market value of our non-U.S. real property interests

and our other business assets, there can be no assurance we currently are not a USRPHC or will not

become one in the future. Even if we are or were to become a USRPHC, gain arising from the sale or

other taxable disposition of our common stock by a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal

income tax if our common stock is "regularly traded," as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on

an established securities market, and such Non-U.S. Holder owned, actually and constructively, 5% or

less of our common stock throughout the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or

other taxable disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder's holding period.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide

for different rules.

**Information reporting and backup withholding**

Payments of dividends on our common stock will not be subject to backup withholding, provided the Non-

U.S. Holder certifies its non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, or

W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns are required to be filed with

the IRS in connection with any distributions on our common stock paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, regardless

of whether such distributions constitute dividends or whether any tax was actually withheld. In addition,

proceeds of the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock within the United States or

conducted through certain U.S.-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or

information reporting if the applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above or the

Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of our common stock

conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker that does not have certain enumerated

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

relationships with the United States generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information

reporting.

Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made available under the provisions

of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder

resides or is established.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules

may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability,

provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

**Additional withholding tax on payments made to foreign accounts**

Withholding taxes may be imposed under Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (such Sections commonly

referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA")) on certain types of payments made to

non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. Specifically, a 30% withholding tax may

be imposed on dividends on, or (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross

proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our common stock paid to a "foreign financial institution" or

a "non-financial foreign entity" (each as defined in the Code), unless (i) the foreign financial institution

undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (ii) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it

does not have any "substantial United States owners" (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying

information regarding each substantial United States owner, or (iii) the foreign financial institution or non-

financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign

financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in (i) above, it must enter

into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it

undertake to identify accounts held by certain "specified United States persons" or "United States owned

foreign entities" (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts,

and withhold 30% on certain payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other

account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental

agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.

Under applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally

applies to payments of dividends on our common stock. While withholding under FATCA would have

applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our common stock

beginning on January 1, 2019, proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments

of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until

final Treasury Regulations are issued.

Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding

under FATCA to their investment in our common stock.

**Underwriting**

We are offering the shares of common stock described in this prospectus through a number of

underwriters. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Piper Sandler & Co. are acting

as joint book-running managers of the offering and as representatives of the underwriters. We have

entered into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters. Subject to the terms and conditions of the

underwriting agreement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and each underwriter has severally

agreed to purchase, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth

on the cover page of this prospectus, the number of shares of common stock listed next to its name in the

following table:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Name** | **Number of** <br>**shares**<br>|

| Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated......................................................................................... |  |
| Canaccord Genuity LLC....................................................................................................................... |  |
| Total.......................................................................................................................................................... |  |

---

The underwriters are committed to purchase all the shares of common stock offered by us if they

purchase any shares. The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults, the

purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may also be increased or the offering may be

terminated.

The underwriters propose to offer the shares of common stock directly to the public at the initial public

offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to certain dealers at that price less a

concession not in excess of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share. After the initial offering of the shares to the public, if all of

the shares of common stock are not sold at the initial public offering price, the underwriters may change

the offering price and the other selling terms. Sales of any shares made outside of the United States may

be made by affiliates of the underwriters.

The underwriters have an option to buy up to&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; additional shares of common stock from us to

cover sales of shares by the underwriters which exceed the number of shares specified in the table

above. The underwriters have 30 days from the date of this prospectus to exercise this option to purchase

additional shares. If any shares are purchased with this option to purchase additional shares, the

underwriters will purchase shares in approximately the same proportion as shown in the table above. If

any additional shares of common stock are purchased, the underwriters will offer the additional shares on

the same terms as those on which the shares are being offered.

The underwriting fee is equal to the public offering price per share of common stock less the amount paid

by the underwriters to us per share of common stock. The underwriting fee is $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share. The

following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid to the

underwriters assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase

additional shares.

We estimate that the total expenses of this offering, including registration, filing and listing fees, printing

fees and legal and accounting expenses, but excluding the underwriting discounts and commissions, will

be approximately $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; . We have agreed to reimburse the underwriters for expenses relating to the

clearance of this offering with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. in an amount up to $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; .

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the web sites maintained by one or more

underwriters, or selling group members, if any, participating in the offering. The underwriters may agree to

allocate a number of shares to underwriters and selling group members for sale to their online brokerage

account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the representatives to underwriters and selling

group members that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations.

We have agreed that we will not, subject to certain exceptions, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell

any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or

warrant to purchase, hedge, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or submit to, or

file with, the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any shares of our common

stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any shares of our common

stock, or (ii) enter into any swap, hedging, or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the

economic consequences of ownership of any shares of common stock or any such other securities, or

publicly disclose the intention to undertake any of the foregoing (regardless of whether any of these

transactions are to be settled by the delivery of shares of common stock or such other securities, in cash

or otherwise), in each case without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan

Stanley & Co. LLC and Piper Sandler & Co. for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus,

other than the shares of our common stock to be sold in this offering.

The restrictions on our actions, as described above, do not apply to certain transactions, including (i) the

issuance of shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of our

common stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities or the

exercise of warrants or options (including net exercise) or the settlement of RSUs (including net

settlement), in each case outstanding on the date of the underwriting agreement and described in this

prospectus; (ii) grants of stock options, stock awards, restricted stock, RSUs, or other equity awards and

the issuance of shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable

for shares of our common stock (whether upon the exercise of stock options or otherwise) to our

employees, officers, directors, advisors, or consultants pursuant to the terms of an equity compensation

plan in effect as of the closing date of this offering and described in this prospectus, provided that such

recipients enter into a lock-up agreement with the underwriters; (iii) the issuance of up to 5% of the

outstanding shares of our common stock, or securities convertible into, exercisable for, or which are

otherwise exchangeable for, our common stock, immediately following the closing date of this offering, in

acquisitions or other similar strategic transactions, provided that such recipients enter into a lock-up

agreement with the underwriters; or (iv) the filing of any registration statement on Form S-8 relating to

securities granted or to be granted pursuant to any plan in effect on the date of the underwriting

agreement and described in this prospectus or any assumed benefit plan pursuant to an acquisition or

similar strategic transaction.

Our directors and executive officers, and holders of substantially all of our common stock, stock options,

and other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock (such persons,

the "lock-up parties") have entered into lock-up agreements with the underwriters prior to the

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

commencement of this offering pursuant to which each lock-up party, with limited exceptions, for a period

of 180 days after the date of this prospectus (such period, the "restricted period"), may not and may not

cause any of their direct or indirect affiliates to, without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities

LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Piper Sandler & Co., (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any

option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to

purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of our common stock

or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock (including without

limitation, our common stock or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by

the lock-up party in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and securities which may be

issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) (collectively with our common stock, the "lock-up

securities"), (ii) enter into any hedging, swap or other agreement or transaction that transfers, in whole or

in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the lock-up securities, whether any such

transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of the lock-up securities, in cash

or otherwise, (iii) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any lock-up

securities, or (iv) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

Such persons or entities have further acknowledged that these undertakings preclude them from

engaging in any hedging or other transactions or arrangements (including, without limitation, any short

sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap

or any other derivative transaction or instrument, however described or defined) designed or intended, or

which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale or disposition or transfer (whether by

the lock-up party or any other person) of any economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part,

directly or indirectly, of any lock-up securities, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or

instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of lock-up securities, in cash or

otherwise.

The restrictions described in the immediately preceding paragraph and contained in the lock-up

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Piper Sandler & Co., in their sole discretion,

may release the securities subject to any of the lock-up agreements with the underwriters described

above, in whole or in part at any time.

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the

Securities Act.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

We have applied to have our common stock approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market

under the symbol "HTFL" and this offering is contingent upon obtaining approval of such listing.

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involves

making bids for, purchasing and selling shares of common stock in the open market for the purpose of

preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while this offering is in

progress. These stabilizing transactions may include making short sales of common stock, which involves

the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of common stock than they are required to

purchase in this offering, and purchasing shares of common stock on the open market to cover positions

greater than the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares referred to above, or may be "naked"

shorts, which are short positions in excess of that amount.

The underwriters may close out any covered short position either by exercising their option to purchase

additional shares, in whole or in part, or by purchasing shares in the open market. In making this

determination, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for

purchase in the open market compared to the price at which the underwriters may purchase shares

through the option to purchase additional shares. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the

underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in

the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. To the extent that the

underwriters create a naked short position, they will purchase shares in the open market to cover the

position.

The underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M of the Securities Act, they may also

engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock,

including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that if the representatives of the underwriters

purchase common stock in the open market in stabilizing transactions or to cover short sales, the

representatives can require the underwriters that sold those shares as part of this offering to repay the

underwriting discount received by them.

These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the common stock or

preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock, and, as a result, the price of

the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the

underwriters commence these activities, they may discontinue them at any time. The underwriters may

carry out these transactions on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, in the over-the-counter market or

otherwise.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. The initial public offering

price will be determined by negotiations between us and the representatives of the underwriters. In

determining the initial public offering price, we and the representatives of the underwriters expect to

consider a number of factors including:

• the information set forth in this prospectus and otherwise available to the representatives;

• our prospects and the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete;

• an assessment of our management;

• our prospects for future earnings;

• the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering;

• the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded common stock of generally comparable

companies; and

• other factors deemed relevant by the underwriters and us.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

Neither we nor the underwriters can assure investors that an active trading market will develop for shares

of our common stock, or that the shares will trade in the public market at or above the initial public offering

price.

**Other relationships**

Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates have provided in the past to us and our affiliates and may

provide from time to time in the future certain commercial banking, financial advisory, investment banking

and other services for us and such affiliates in the ordinary course of their business, for which they have

received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions. In addition, from time to time,

certain of the underwriters and their affiliates may effect transactions for their own account or the account

of customers, and hold on behalf of themselves or their customers, long or short positions in our debt or

equity securities or loans, and may do so in the future.

**Selling restrictions**

public offering of the securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose

is required. The securities offered by this prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Heartflow, Inc.

***Opinion on the Financial Statements***

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HeartFlow Holding, Inc. and its

subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated

statements of operations and comprehensive loss, of redeemable convertible preferred stock and

stockholders' deficit and of cash flows for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively

referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial

statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December

31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in

conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

***Basis for Opinion***

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our

responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our

audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board

(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance

with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and

Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of

the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance

about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to

error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the

consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond

to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and

disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting

principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall

presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable

basis for our opinion.

/s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

San Jose, California

March 26, 2025

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2009, which includes periods before the Company

became subject to SEC reporting requirements.

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**1. Business Overview**

***Description of Business***

HeartFlow Holding, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Delaware in July 2007 as

Cardiovascular Simulation, Inc. and changed its name to HeartFlow, Inc. in May 2009. On March 1, 2021,

the Company completed an internal reorganization in which a newly formed parent holding company,

HeartFlow Holding, Inc., was established.

The Company is a commercial-stage medical technology company that has pioneered the use of software

and AI to deliver a non-invasive solution for diagnosing and managing coronary artery disease ("CAD").

The Company's novel HeartFlow Platform uses AIand advanced computational fluid dynamics to create a

personalized 3D model of a patient's heart based off a single coronary computed tomography

angiography ("CCTA"). This results in actionable data on blood flow, stenosis, plaque volume and plaque

composition. The Company's HeartFlow FFRCT Analysis and Plaque Analysis software assists physicians

in diagnosing, managing and delivering precision care to patients with CAD. The Company was awarded

Conformité Européene Mark ("CE Mark") for its HeartFlow FFRCT Analysis in July 2011. The Company

received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") in November 2014 for its

HeartFlow FFRCT Analysis and in October 2022 for its Plaque Analysis.

The Company's United States ("U.S.") headquarters is located in Mountain View, California, and the

Company also has offices in Santa Rosa, California, Austin, Texas, and Tokyo, Japan.

The Company had the following wholly-owned subsidiaries as of March 31, 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Entity Name** | **Country of Incorporation** |
| HeartFlow, Inc................................................................ | United States |
| HeartFlow Japan G.K................................................... | Japan |
| HeartFlow U.K. Ltd........................................................ | United Kingdom |
| HeartFlow Technology U.K. Limited........................... | United Kingdom |

---

Effective July 2024, HeartFlow International Sarl, a wholly-owned subsidiary in Switzerland, was

dissolved.

***Liquidity***

The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception

and has an accumulated deficit of $874.5 million, $971.0 million and $1.0 billion as of December 31, 2023

and 2024 and March 31, 2025 (unaudited), respectively. The Company expects to incur losses for the

foreseeable future. Historically, the Company's activities have been financed through sales of shares of

redeemable convertible preferred stock, common stock and convertible promissory notes, borrowings

under term loans and revenue received from customers.

As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 (unaudited), the Company had $51.4 million and $109.8

million in cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

Based on the Company's current operating plan as of June __, 2025, the date these interim financial

statements (unaudited) were available to be issued, the Company believes that the expected cash

generated from revenue transactions with customers and its existing cash and cash equivalents will be

sufficient to fund the Company's planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at

least the next 12 months from the date these interim consolidated financial statements (unaudited) were

available to be issued.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

However, the Company may experience lower than expected cash generated from operating activities or

greater than expected capital expenditures, cost of revenue, or operating expenses, and may need to

raise additional capital to fund operations, further research and development activities, or acquire, invest

in, or license other businesses, assets, or technologies. The Company's future capital needs will depend

upon many factors, including the market acceptance of the Company's products, the cost and pace of

developing new products, and the costs of supporting sales growth.

Should the Company obtain additional equity or debt financing to satisfy its liquidity needs, the issuance

of additional debt or equity securities could be dilutive to existing stockholders. Furthermore, any new

securities could have rights that are senior to existing stockholders and could contain covenants that

would restrict operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will generate sufficient future

cash flows from operations or that financing will be available on terms commercially acceptable to the

Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain future funding, the Company would curtail

expenses by reducing some of its research and development programs and commercialization efforts in

order to maintain liquidity, if necessary.

**2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

***Basis of Presentation***

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company as well as its

wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally

accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). All significant intercompany balances and

transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

***Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation***

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. A

reclassification was made to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the year ended December

31, 2023 to identify non-cash interest charges of $865,000. This change in classification does not affect

previously reported cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

and had no effect on the reported results of operations.

***Unaudited Interim Financial Information***

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025, the consolidated statements of

operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and

2025, and the consolidated statements of redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders' deficit

as of March 31, 2024 and 2025, are unaudited. The financial data and other information disclosed in

these notes to the consolidated financial statements related to March 31, 2025, and the three months

ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, are also unaudited. The unaudited interim consolidated financial

statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and,

in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments,

necessary to a fair statement of the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2025, and the results of

its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025. These interim

financial results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year or for any

subsequent interim period.

***Use of Estimates***

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make

estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and

accompanying notes. Management used significant judgement when making estimates in the

determination of the fair value of its common stock and stock options, deferred income tax valuation

allowance, capitalized internal-use software, depreciation of property and equipment, allowance for credit

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

losses, revenue recognition, valuation of operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and operating lease

liabilities, and the fair value of convertible debt, warrants to purchase common stock and embedded

derivatives. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical

experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances

dictate. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

***Segment Information***

The Company operates and manages its business as one reportable and operating segment, which is the

business of non-invasive coronary artery disease detection solutions. The Company's Chief Executive

Officer, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), reviews financial information, including

revenue and net loss, presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions,

allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.

The Company's measure of segment profit or loss is consolidated net loss, which is used by the CODM to

measure actual results versus expectations, set performance metrics, and develop the annual budget to

achieve the Company's long-term objectives. Significant segment expenses within consolidated net loss

includes cost of revenue, research and development, and selling, general and administrative expenses,

which are each separately presented on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and

comprehensive loss. Other expense items that are presented on the consolidated statements of

operations include interest income, interest expense, changes in fair value of warrant liability, other

income, net, and provision for income taxes.

The following table is representative of the significant expense categories regularly provided to the CODM

when managing the Company's single reporting segment and includes a reconciliation to the consolidated

net loss shown in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the years ended

December 31, 2023 and 2024 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025 (unaudited) (in

thousands):

(2)Other income (expense), net represents the consolidated amounts for interest income, interest expense, change in fair value of

convertible note, change in fair value of common stock warrant liability, change in fair value of derivative liability and other income

(expense), net as shown on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company derives revenue and has long-lived assets primarily in the United States of America.

Revenue by geography is further described in Note 3.

***Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash***

The Company considers all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of

cash and purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash

equivalents consist primarily of amounts invested in money market accounts.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash within the

consolidated balance sheets to the total shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows (in

thousands):

| Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash................... | $127234 | $55842 | $114261 |

---

As of December 31, 2023 and 2024 and March 31, 2025 (unaudited), restricted cash represents deposits

held as security in connection with the Company's facility lease agreements.

***Fair Value of Financial Instruments***

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value

is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a

liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based

measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in

pricing an asset or a liability.

The Company discloses and recognizes the fair value of its assets and liabilities using a hierarchy that

prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest

priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or

liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs

that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). The accounting guidance establishes three

levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

*Level 1 -* Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

*Level 2 -* Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or

liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be

corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities;

*Level 3 -* Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to

the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of

input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a

particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and

considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

As of December 31, 2023 and 2024 and March 31, 2025 (unaudited), the carrying amounts of the

Company's financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and

accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities and market interest rates, if

applicable. Management believes that the Company's Term Loan and 2025 Convertible Notes bear

interest at the prevailing market rates for instruments with similar characteristics; accordingly, the carrying

value of these instruments approximate its fair value. Fair value accounting is applied to the 2022

Convertible Notes, common stock warrant liability and derivative liability. No convertible notes or

derivative liability were outstanding as of December 31, 2024.

***Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers***

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash

equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains bank deposits in federally

insured financial institutions and these deposits may at times exceed federally insured limits. To date, the

Company has not experienced any losses on its cash deposits. The Company currently has full control of

its cash and cash equivalents balance.

On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") was closed by the California Department of Financial

Protection and Innovation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") as

receiver. On March 13, 2023, the FDIC announced that it had transferred all insured and uninsured

deposits and substantially all assets of SVB to a newly created, full-service FDIC-operated "bridge bank"

called Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A. ("SVBB"), where depositors would have full access to their money

immediately. On March 27, 2023, First Citizens BancShares, Inc. ("First Citizens Bank") acquired SVBB

from the FDIC and operated SVBB as Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First Citizens Bank. The Company

successfully transferred all funds to another financial institution and did not incur any losses on its

deposits as a result of SVB's closure.

No single customer represented more than 10% of the Company's revenue during the years ended

December 31, 2023 and 2024 or for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025 (unaudited).

No single customer represented more than 10% of the Company's accounts receivable as of

December 31, 2023 and 2024 and March 31, 2025 (unaudited).

***Accounts Receivable***

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial conditions and generally

extends credit to customers without requiring collateral. Accounts receivable are recorded at the amounts

billed less estimated allowances for credit losses for any potential uncollectible amounts. The Company

continually monitors customer payments and maintains an allowance for estimated losses resulting from a

customer's inability to make required payments. The Company considers factors such as historical

experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable balances, geographic related risks and

economic conditions that may affect a customer's ability to pay. Accounts receivable are written-off and

charged against an allowance for credit losses when the Company has exhausted collection efforts

without success.

***Property and Equipment***

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. Depreciation

and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets,

which generally ranges from two to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of

their useful life or the remaining life of the lease. Upon sale or retirement of assets, the cost and related

accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected

in results from operations in the period realized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

***Impairment of Long-Lived Assets***

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment at least

annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset

may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible

impairment, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted future cash flows over the

remaining useful life of the long-lived assets in measuring whether they are recoverable. If the carrying

value of the asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, a loss is recorded as the

excess of the asset's carrying value over its fair value. No assets were determined to be impaired during

the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 or for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025

(unaudited).

***Deferred Offering Costs***

The Company capitalizes certain legal, accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated

with in-process equity financings as deferred offering costs until such financings are consummated. After

consummation of the equity financing, these costs are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the

offering, either as a reduction of the carrying value of preferred stock or in stockholders' deficit as a

reduction of additional paid-in capital generated as a result of the offering. Should the in-process equity

financing be abandoned, the deferred offering costs would be expensed immediately as a charge to

operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. No deferred

offering costs were capitalized as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025

(unaudited), deferred offering costs of $413,000 and $3.3 million, respectively, were capitalized within

other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

***Internal-Use Software***

The Company capitalizes certain costs related to internal-use software during the application

development stage. Costs related to planning and post implementation activities are expensed as

incurred. Capitalized internal-use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful

life, which is generally two years, after the product is deployed and ready for use. The Company

evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events

or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. Capitalized

internal-use software costs are classified as a component of property and equipment, net.

***Leases***

At the inception of a contractual arrangement, the Company determines whether the contract contains a

lease by assessing whether there is an identified asset and whether the contract conveys the right to

control the use of the identified asset in exchange for consideration over a period of time.

An ROU asset and corresponding lease liability are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets based

on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. An ROU asset represents the right to control

the use of an identified asset over the lease term and a lease liability represents the obligation to make

lease payments arising from the lease. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded

in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the

present value of lease payments, as the discount rate implicit in the lease is not readily available. The

lease terms used to calculate the ROU asset and related lease liabilities include options to extend or

terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The

Company elected to account for contracts that contain lease and non-lease components as a single lease

component. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 and the three months ended March 31,

2025 (unaudited), the Company's only leases were for its facilities, which are classified as operating

leases with lease expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease costs,

which primarily consist of common area maintenance, taxes, and utility charges are expensed as

incurred. The Company does not have any finance leases.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

***Term Loan***

The Term Loan is accounted for at amortized cost. Original debt issuance costs are deferred and

presented as a reduction to the carrying value of the Term Loan. Debt discount and debt issuance costs

are amortized using the effective interest method and recorded in interest expense within the

consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Refer to Note 8 for additional information.

***2022 Convertible Notes***

The Company issued convertible notes from September 2022 to December 2022 (the "2022 Convertible

Notes") to certain investors (the "2022 Convertible Note Investors"), which were all converted to Series

F-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock in March 2023. Refer to Notes 9 and 10 for additional

information. The 2022 Convertible Notes contained embedded features that provided the 2022

Convertible Note Investors with multiple settlement alternatives. Rather than accounting for the

embedded features that qualified as derivatives separately, the Company elected to account for the 2022

Convertible Notes at fair value each reporting period. Debt issuance costs were expensed as incurred.

Until their conversion in March 2023, the Company recognized the changes in fair value (including

interest) as change in fair value of convertible note within the consolidated statements of operations and

comprehensive loss.

***2025 Convertible Notes (unaudited)***

The Company issued convertible notes in January 2025 and March 2025 (the "2025 Convertible Notes")

to various investors and certain employees (the "Requisite Holders"), which are accounted for at

amortized cost. Debt issuance costs are deferred and presented as a reduction to the carrying value of

the 2025 Convertible Notes. The Company determined that certain features of the 2025 Convertible

Notes contain embedded derivatives that provide the Requisite Holders with multiple settlement

alternatives and the embedded features that qualified as derivatives were accounted for separately. Debt

discount and debt issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest method and recorded to

interest expense within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The

Company recognized the changes in fair value of the derivative liability as change in fair value of

derivative liability within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Refer to Note

9 and Note 13 for additional information.

***Common Stock Warrants***

The Company's warrants to purchase common stock that were issued in connection with the Term Loan

do not meet the equity indexation criteria and are classified as a liability. The warrants are recorded at fair

value upon issuance and are subject to remeasurement to fair value at each balance sheet date, with any

changes in fair value recognized as change in fair value of common stock warrant within the consolidated

statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Refer to Note 12 for additional information.

***Embedded Derivatives***

Prior to its refinancing in June 2024, the Term Loan contained certain prepayment features, default put

option and default interest adjustment features that were determined to be embedded derivatives

requiring bifurcation and separate accounting as a single compound derivative, as discussed in Note 13.

The impact of bifurcation of the embedded derivative on the date of issuance was reflected as a debt

discount. The fair value of the derivative liability related to the Company's Term Loan, as discussed in

Note 8, was estimated using a scenario-based analysis comparing the probability-weighted present value

of the Term Loan payoff at maturity with and without the bifurcated features. This method isolates the

value of the embedded derivative by measuring the difference in the host contract's value with and

without the isolated features. The resulting cash flows are discounted at the Company's borrowing rate,

as adjusted for fluctuations in the market interest rate from the inception of the Company's comparative

borrowings to the reporting date, to measure the fair value of the embedded derivative. Until its

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

derecognition in June 2024, the derivative liability was remeasured to fair value at each reporting period

and the related change was reflected as change in fair value of derivative liability on the consolidated

statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The 2025 Convertible Notes contain certain settlement features and default put options that were

determined to be embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation and separate accounting as a single

compound derivative, as discussed in Note 13. The impact of bifurcation of the embedded derivatives on

the date of issuance during the three months ended March 31, 2025 (unaudited) was reflected as a debt

discount. The fair value of the derivative liability related to the Company's 2025 Convertible Notes, as

discussed in Note 9, were estimated using a scenario-based analysis comparing the probability-weighted

present value of the 2025 Convertible Notes with and without the bifurcated features. This method

isolates the value of the embedded derivatives by measuring the difference in the host contract's value

with and without the isolated features. To measure the fair value of the embedded derivatives, the

resulting cash flows were discounted using appropriate discount rates that reflect the overall implied risk

of the instruments based on their purchase prices and adjusted for fluctuations in the market and

Company interest rates when necessary. The derivative liability was remeasured to fair value at March 31,

2025 (unaudited) and the related change was reflected as change in fair value of derivative liability on the

consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31,

2025 (unaudited).

***Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock***

The Company records redeemable convertible preferred stock at fair value on the dates of issuance, net

of issuance costs. The redeemable convertible preferred stock is recorded outside of stockholders' deficit

because the preferred shares are contingently redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is

outside of the Company's control. The Company has elected not to adjust the carrying values of the

redeemable convertible preferred stock to the liquidation preferences of such shares because it is

uncertain whether or when an event would occur that would obligate the Company to pay the liquidation

preferences to holders of shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock. Subsequent adjustments to

the carrying values to the liquidation preferences will be made only when it becomes probable that such

liquidation event will occur. The redemption value of each series of redeemable convertible preferred

stock is equal to their respective original issue price plus accrued but unpaid dividends on Series C

redeemable convertible preferred shares and all declared but unpaid dividends (if any) for other series of

redeemable convertible preferred shares. In connection with the Series F redeemable convertible

preferred stock financing, the cumulative dividends payable to holders of Series C redeemable convertible

preferred stock upon a liquidation event were capped from $6.66 to $8.25 per share depending on the

time of issuance, with an aggregate total of $88.5 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2024 and March

31, 2025 (unaudited). Refer to Note 10 for additional information.

***Revenue Recognition***

The Company sells its HeartFlow Platform to medical providers in the United States and in select

international markets. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

• Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

• Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

• Determination of the transaction price;

• Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

• Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company identified a single performance obligation, which is comprised of a highly interdependent

bundle of goods or services that are not distinct on their own but are as a group and consists of providing

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

implementation services and the requested analysis, including an image file and related licenses and

support. Revenue recognition commences only after completion of installation, implementation and

training for new customer accounts. The Company's service consists of providing a visualization of the

patient's coronary arteries and enables physicians to create more effective treatment plans. This service

is normally billable upon delivery of the analysis to the physician. Payment terms are generally net 30

days.

Substantially all of the Company's revenue is from usage-driven fees and generated on a "pay-per-click"

basis each time a physician orders the Company's HeartFlow FFRCT Analysis and Plaque Analysis. The

Company also derives revenue from subscription fees from customers accessing the Company's hosted

software service during the subscription period. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024

and three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025 (unaudited), 98.1%, 98.8%, 97.6% and 98.9% of

revenue was from usage-driven fees, respectively, and the remainder was from subscription fees.

Revenue is recognized when control of these services is transferred to the customer, at an amount that

reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those services.

The Company recognizes usage-driven fee revenue upon delivery of the requested analysis to the

physician, which is when control of these services is transferred to the customer. The Company

recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the contract term for subscriptions where the customer

pays a fixed amount upfront for unlimited analyses. Contracts with customers typically include a fixed

amount of consideration and are generally cancellable with 30 days' written notice.

The transaction price consists of fixed consideration and variable consideration related to utilization and

volume rebates for reimbursement claims from government and commercial payers which are known and

determinable based on the number of analyses delivered within each quarterly period. The transaction

price (inclusive of both fixed consideration and variable consideration that is not constrained) is

recognized as revenue when control transfers. The Company uses a portfolio approach to estimate

variable consideration using the expected value method.

***Unbilled Receivables***

Unbilled receivables generally represent revenue in which the Company has satisfied its performance

obligation prior to invoicing. The Company records unbilled receivables within accounts receivable, net on

the consolidated balance sheets, based on the Company's unconditional right to payment at the end of

the applicable period.

***Contract Costs***

Costs associated with product revenue include a flat rate commission per analysis and new customer site

commissions as well as implementation and onboarding costs. The Company capitalizes new customer

site commissions and certain implementation and onboarding costs that are considered to be incremental

to the acquisition of new customer contracts. Capitalized implementation and onboarding costs are

amortized over an estimated period of benefit of two years and capitalized new site commission costs are

amortized over an estimated period of benefit of three years. The estimated period of benefit is

determined by evaluating average customer life, the nature of the related benefit, and the specific facts

and circumstances of its arrangements. The Company evaluates these assumptions at least annually and

periodically reviews whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could impact the

period of benefit.

The Company expenses flat rate commissions when incurred as commensurate with its usage-driven fee

revenue recognition and amortizes capitalized new customer site commissions to selling, general and

administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the

year ended December 31, 2023, new site commission costs were not capitalized as the amount was not

material. The Company amortizes capitalized implementation and onboarding costs to cost of revenue in

the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Short-term capitalized contract costs

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and the long-term portion is included in other

non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

***Remaining Performance Obligations***

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price allocated to

performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied. It includes contract liabilities and

amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods and does not include contracts

where the customer is not committed. The customer is not considered committed when they are able to

terminate for convenience without payment of a substantive penalty under the contract. Additionally, as a

practical expedient, the Company has not disclosed the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for

contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

***Contract Liabilities***

The Company records contract liabilities when billings or payments are received in advance of revenue

recognition from subscription services. The contract liabilities balance is reduced as the revenue

recognition criteria are met, generally within 12 months. Once services are available to customers, the

Company records amounts due in accounts receivable, net and contract liabilities within accrued

expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. To the extent the Company bills

customers in advance of the billing period commencement date, the accounts receivable and

corresponding contract liabilities amount are netted to zero on the consolidated balance sheets, unless

such amounts have been paid as of the balance sheet date.

***Cost of Revenue***

Cost of revenue includes, but is not limited to, personnel and related expenses, stock-based

compensation costs, third-party hosting fees, amortization of capitalized internal-use software,

amortization of contract fulfillment costs as well as royalties associated with technology licenses used in

connection with the delivery of the Company's HeartFlow Platform and allocated overhead, including rent,

equipment, depreciation, technology services and utilities, related to the Company's production team. The

role of the production team is to support the Company's patient case volume revenue by performing

defined quality-related activities on CCTA scans submitted by its customers for analysis. The production

team also supports activities in the Company's clinical trials and research and development, which are

allocated as research and development expense.

***Research and Development***

Costs related to research, design, development, clinical studies, regulatory activities, and medical affairs

are charged to research and development and are expensed as incurred. These costs include, but are not

limited to, personnel and related expenses, clinical trials, stock-based compensation costs, third-party

consulting costs, the portion of the costs incurred by the production team to support clinical trials and

research and development efforts, and allocated overhead, including rent, equipment, depreciation and

utilities.

***Clinical Trials***

The Company accrues and expenses costs for its clinical trial activities performed by third parties,

including clinical research organizations and other service providers, based upon estimates of the work

completed over the life of the individual study in accordance with associated agreements. The Company

determines these estimates through discussion with internal personnel and outside service providers as

to progress or stage of completion of trials or services pursuant to contracts with clinical research

organizations and other service providers and the agreed-upon fee to be paid for such services.

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

***Advertising Costs***

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs includes design and production

costs, including website development, testimonial videos, written media campaigns and other items.

Advertising costs of $778,000, $1,538,000, $327,000 and $384,000 was expensed during the years

ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, and three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025 (unaudited),

respectively.

***Stock-Based Compensation***

The Company accounts for share-based payments at fair value. The grant date fair value of options

granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Option awards vest based on the

satisfaction of a service requirement and stock-based compensation expense is recorded on a straight-

line basis over the applicable service period, which is generally four years. For performance-based stock

options, the Company will assess the probability of performance conditions being achieved in each

reporting period. The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in any one period related

to performance-based stock options can vary based on the achievement or anticipated achievement of

the performance conditions. Forfeitures are recognized in the period in which the forfeiture occurs.

***Income Taxes***

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method,

deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the

financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in

which the differences are expected to reverse. As a result of the history of net operating losses, the

Company has provided for a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets for assets that are

not more-likely-than-not to be realized.

The Company applies a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, presentation and

disclosure in the consolidated financial statements of any uncertain tax positions that have been taken or

expected to be taken on a tax return using a two-step approach. The first step is to evaluate the tax

position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence

indicates that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the

relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions that are more

likely than not to be sustained upon audit, the second step is to measure the tax benefit in the financial

statements as the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon

settlement. Significant judgment is required to evaluate uncertain tax positions. Changes in facts and

circumstances could have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate and results of operations.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a

component of provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive

loss.

***Comprehensive Loss***

Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and foreign currency translation gains and losses.

***Foreign Currency***

The functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is the local currency except for HeartFlow

International Sarl, which was the U.S. Dollar. For all non-functional currency balances, the

remeasurement of such balances to the functional currency results in either a foreign exchange

transaction gain or loss, which is recorded within other income, net within the consolidated statements of

operations and comprehensive loss. The Company recognized foreign exchange transaction losses of

$172,000, $269,000, $137,000 and $357,000 during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, and

three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025 (unaudited), respectively. During the years ended

December 31, 2023 and 2024, and three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025 (unaudited), the

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

Company recognized $504,000, $271,000, $(1,000) and $236,000 of foreign currency translation (gain)

loss, respectively, in the statements of comprehensive loss related to foreign subsidiaries which have

local functional currencies.

***Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders***

Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common

stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period,

without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing

the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common

stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. For purposes of the diluted net loss per

share calculation, the redeemable convertible preferred stock, common stock warrants and stock options

are considered to be potentially dilutive securities.

Basic and diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share is presented in conformity with

the two-class method required for participating securities as the redeemable convertible preferred stock

and common stock subject to repurchase are considered participating securities. The Company's

participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company's losses. As such,

the net loss is attributed entirely to common stockholders. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic

net loss per share because the effects of potentially dilutive items were anti-dilutive given the Company's

net loss position during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 and three months ended March

31, 2024 and 2025 (unaudited).

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards

Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified

effective date. The Company qualifies as an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our

Business Startups Act of 2012 and has elected not to "opt out" of the extended transition related to

complying with new or revised accounting standards, which means that when a standard is issued or

revised and it has different application dates for public and nonpublic companies, the Company will adopt

the new or revised standard at the time nonpublic companies adopt the new or revised standard and will

do so until such time that the Company either i) irrevocably elects to "opt out" of such extended transition

period or ii) no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company. The Company may choose to early

adopt any new or revised accounting standards whenever such early adoption is permitted for nonpublic

companies.

***Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements***

In August 2020, the FASB issued Account Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06, *Debt-Debt with* 

*Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own* 

*Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own* 

*Equity*. The amendment simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of

liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity's own equity. The new

standard requires entities to provide expanded disclosures about the terms and features of convertible

instruments, how the instruments have been reported in the entity's financial statements, and information

about events, conditions, and circumstances that can affect how to assess the amount or timing of an

entity's future cash flows related to those instruments. On January 1, 2024, the Company adopted ASU

2020-06, which had an immaterial impact on its financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, *Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to* 

*Reportable Segment Disclosures*. The amendment expands segment disclosures by requiring disclosure

of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker

("CODM"), the amount and description of other segment items, permits companies to disclose more than

one measure of segment profit or loss, and requires all annual segment disclosures to be included in the

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

interim periods. The amendments do not change how an entity identifies its operating segments,

aggregates those operating segments, or applies quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable

segments. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company adopted ASU 2023-07, which had a

disclosure only impact on its financial statements.

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted***

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income* 

*Tax Disclosures*, which requires enhanced income tax disclosures, including specific categories and

disaggregation of information in the effective tax rate reconciliation, disaggregated information related to

income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and

income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. This guidance is effective for annual periods

beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 is expected to have a disclosure only

impact on the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive* 

*Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement* 

*Expenses*, which requires more detailed disclosures about specified categories of expenses (including

employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization) included in certain expense captions presented

on the face of the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,

2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption

permitted. The amendments may be applied either (i) prospectively to financial statements issued for

reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (ii) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in

the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the

disclosures in its consolidated financial statements.

The 2022 Convertible Notes, which are not regularly traded, are classified as Level 3, since their values

cannot be determined by using readily observable inputs or measures, such as market prices (see Note

9). The fair value of the 2022 Convertible Notes was estimated as the sum of its components (conversion

features and the debt component) as of the issuance dates and as of the subsequent balance sheet

dates. To value each of the conversion features, a "with and without" methodology was employed. The

debt component was valued using a discounted cash flow method that measured the net present value of

In determining the fair value of the term loan derivative liability, a two-step valuation approach was

employed, which included a probability-weighted scenario valuation method, the Black-Scholes-Merton

method, and the option pricing method, using unobservable inputs (see Note 13), which are classified as

Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, and then comparing the instrument's value with and without the

derivative features to estimate their combined fair value. The debt instrument is carried at amortized cost,

which approximates its fair value.

**7. Commitments and Contingencies**

***Royalty Commitments***

The Company has entered into various exclusive technology licensing agreements and other software

licensing agreements. The terms of the agreements require the Company to make annual royalty

payments in fixed amounts as well as certain milestone and revenue-based payments. The revenue-

based royalty percentage is in the low single digits, subject to reductions and offsets in certain

circumstances with a minimum royalty commitment of $50,000 annually. Future minimum royalty

commitments due under the terms of these exclusive agreements as of December 31, 2024 and March

The Company incurred royalty expense of $2.1 million, $1.5 million, $336,000 and $414,000 for the years

ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, and three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025 (unaudited),

respectively.

***Purchase Commitments***

Open purchase commitments consist of agreements to purchase of goods and services entered into in

the ordinary course of business. These amounts were not recorded as liabilities on the consolidated

balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 as the Company had not yet received the related goods or

services. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 (unaudited), the Company had estimated open

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

purchase commitments for goods and services of $5.2 million and $4.3 million over the next four and

three years, respectively.

***Contingencies***

The Company is not involved in any pending legal proceedings that it believes could have a material

adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company may pursue or

be subject to litigation and other legal actions from time to time arising in the ordinary course of business,

including intellectual property, products liability, breach of contract, commercial, employment, and other

similar claims which could have an adverse impact on its reputation, business and financial condition and

divert the attention of its management from the operation of its business. The Company accrues a liability

for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made, and such expenditures can be

reasonably estimated. There were no contingent liabilities requiring accrual or disclosures as of

December 31, 2023 and 2024 and March 31, 2025 (unaudited).

***Indemnifications***

The Company provides general indemnifications to management and the members of the Company's

board of directors (the "Board of Directors") when they act, in good faith, in the best interest of the

Company. The Company is unable to develop an estimate of the maximum potential amount of future

payments that could potentially result from any hypothetical future claim, but expects the risk of having to

make any payments under these general business indemnifications to be remote. The Company also

maintains insurance coverage that would generally enable the Company to recover a portion of any future

amounts paid.

**8. Term Loan**

***Initial Term Loan***

On January 19, 2021, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Hayfin Services, LLP ("Hayfin")

for total borrowings of up to $70.0 million (the "Initial Term Loan"). The Company received net cash

proceeds of $68.1 million, after deducting $1.3 million of lender fees as a discount to the debt, and

$629,000 of debt issuance costs. The Company also issued a warrant to the lender to purchase a total of

315,810 shares of its common stock. The fair value of the warrant was $4.3 million as of the issuance

date, which was accounted for as a debt discount. Refer to Note 12 for additional information.

***New Money Term Loan***

On March 17, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement with Hayfin for

an additional $50.0 million term loan (the "New Money Term Loan"), collectively with the Initial Term Loan,

(the "Term Loan"). Additionally, certain terms of the Initial Term Loan were amended. The Company

received net cash proceeds of $49.2 million, after deducting $820,000 of lender fees as a discount to the

debt. The Company also issued an additional warrant to the lender to purchase a total of 225,579 shares

of common stock. The fair value of the warrant was $3.5 million as of the issuance date, which was

accounted for as a debt discount. Refer to Note 12 for additional information.

***Other Amendments***

The Company entered into Amendments No. 2 and No. 3 to the Credit Agreement in September 2022 and

December 2022, respectively, which enabled the Company to issue Subordinated Convertible Promissory

Notes and to increase the aggregate principal of the Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes that can

be issued to $42.0 million (see Note 9).

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company entered into three amendments to the Credit Agreement with

Hayfin. In March 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 and Waiver to Credit Agreement with

Hayfin to temporarily waive various covenant requirements that had not been met through the waiver date

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

and to enable the Company to amend certain terms of the Credit Agreement. Under Amendment No. 4, as

part of the Series F redeemable convertible preferred stock financing closing (see Note 10), the Company

issued to Hayfin 4,269,801 warrants for shares of common stock for no consideration and committed to

sell 2,689,375 and 3,508,156 shares of Series F-1 and Series F redeemable convertible preferred stock,

respectively. These shares were issued to Hayfin Heartflow UK Limited upon Convertible Note conversion

and upon the initial closing of Series F redeemable convertible preferred stock with the same terms as all

other investors. In March 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 to the Credit Agreement with

Hayfin, which required the Company's securities at JPMorgan Chase Bank to become a "Controlled

Account", as defined by the Credit Agreement. Also in March 2023, the Company entered into

Amendment No. 6 to the Credit Agreement with Hayfin, which permitted the reacquisition of 300,000

shares of common stock from an employee/founder of the Company. In connection with these

amendments, the Company paid $94,000 in lender fees, which were recorded as a debt discount.

Amendments No. 4 through No. 6 were accounted for as debt modifications for accounting purposes.

***2024 Credit Agreement***

On June 14, 2024, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the "2024 Credit

Agreement") with Hayfin for a $138.1 million term loan (the "2024 Term Loan") to refinance its outstanding

loan obligations under the 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended (the "2021 Credit Agreement"). In

addition, in connection with the 2024 Term Loan, the Company entered into several other adjoining

agreements with Hayfin. The 2024 Term Loan extended the maturity date from January 19, 2026 to

June 14, 2028. The 2024 Credit Agreement was accounted for as a debt modification for accounting

purposes.

On January 24, 2025, in connection with the issuance of the 2025 Convertible Notes, the Company

entered into Amendment No.1 to the 2024 Credit Agreement, in which Hayfin converted $23.0 million of

principal under the 2024 Term Loan to 2025 Convertible Notes under the same terms as the other

purchasers of the 2025 Convertible Notes. The principal balance outstanding under the 2024 Term Loan,

as amended, is $115.1 million as of March 31, 2025 (unaudited). The amendment was accounted for as a

debt modification for accounting purposes.

***Prepayment Terms and Other Fees***

Any prepayment or repayment of the principal balance are subject to an exit fee. The Company is

accreting the exit fee over the loan term using the effective interest method. Under the 2024 Term Loan,

the Company has the option to prepay the 2024 Term Loan subject to a prepayment fee of 1.5% for

prepayments after the second anniversary but on or prior to the third anniversary of the 2024 Term Loan

and a prepayment fee of 3% for prepayments thereafter. The Company must repay the loan in full

immediately upon the occurrence of a change in control. In addition, immediately upon the consummation

of an IPO or SPAC, as defined in the terms of the 2024 Credit Agreement, the Company shall repay the

2024 Term Loan in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the net cash proceeds of such IPO or SPAC in

excess of $150.0 million and (ii) $35.0 million. In connection with Amendment No.1 to the 2024 Term Loan

in January 2025, the amount immediately payable upon the consummation of an IPO or SPAC, as defined

in the terms of the 2024 Credit Agreement, was amended where repayment of the 2024 Term Loan will be

at an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the net cash proceeds of such IPO or SPAC in excess of $150.0

million and (ii) $50.0 million (or $55.0 million if the underwriters exercise any portion of their option to

purchase additional shares).

On June 14, 2024, concurrently with entering the 2024 Credit Agreement, the Company signed a fee

letter agreement with Hayfin under which the Company agreed to pay $9.2 million in fees to Hayfin, which

consists of a 3% exit fee and 3% early prepayment fee due under the 2021 Credit Agreement in the

amount of $8.3 million payable in sixteen equal quarterly installments of approximately $518,000 through

March 31, 2028, agent fees of $150,000, due in annual installments of $30,000 through March 31, 2028

and an upfront fee of $721,000. The Company paid the $721,000 upfront fee and $30,000 agent fee upon

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

the closing of the 2024 Term Loan. The exit fee and early prepayment fee must be repaid in full

immediately upon the occurrence of a financing event, including, but not limited to, any IPO, SPAC, or

issuance of convertible notes or equity. The exit fee and early prepayment fee remaining under the

original terms of the 2024 Term Loan, which were immediately due and payable upon issuance of the

2025 Convertible Notes was amended in January 2025 to be immediately due and payable upon the next

occurrence of a financing event as described above.

***Interest***

The Initial Term Loan had an interest rate equal to the sum of the applicable margin of 6.0% plus the

higher of SOFR and 1.0%, and the New Money Term Loan had an interest rate equal to the sum of the

applicable margin of 15.25% plus the higher of the adjusted term for such interest period and 1.0%.

Interest payments are due quarterly. The Company may elect to pay the quarterly interest in-kind ("PIK")

through the last interest period ending before the second anniversary of the original Credit Agreement.

However, if the Company elects to pay interest in-kind after the first anniversary, the applicable margin

increases by 1.0%.

With respect to the New Money Term Loan, the Company may elect to pay PIK Interest, provided that, (i)

prior to December 31, 2023, a minimum of 3% per annum shall be payable in cash and (ii) on or after

December 31, 2023, a minimum of 6% per annum shall be payable in cash. During the year ended

December 31, 2023, $144,000 of interest was paid-in-kind and was added to the outstanding principal

balance of the Term Loan.

The 2024 Term Loan bears interest at a floating per annum rate in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 7.0%

(or 6.0% if the alternative base rate ("ABR") is in effect) plus (ii) the greater of (x) the forward-looking term

rate based on SOFR for a respective tenor (or the alternative base rate, if applicable), and (y) 2.0%. The

ABR equals to the sum of (i) 6.0% plus (ii) the greater of (1) the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, plus

0.5%, (2) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York rate plus 0.5% or (3) CBA Term SOFR for one month

tenor plus 1.0%. The Company has the option to pay interest in-kind at the rate equal to the cash interest

rate plus 1.0%.

***Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discount***

Debt issuance costs include third-party costs incurred in connection with the original Credit Agreement.

Debt discount includes fees paid to the lender, warrants issued to the lender and the embedded derivative

liability as described below.

Prior to the refinancing of the 2021 Credit Agreement with the 2024 Term Loan (the "2024 Term Loan

Refinancing"), certain prepayment features of the Term Loan, default put option and default interest

adjustment features were determined to be embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation and separate

accounting for at fair value as a single compound derivative. The fair value of the derivative liability was

$2.1 million, as of the issuance date in January 2021, and is remeasured to fair value at each reporting

period. In connection with the 2024 Term Loan Refinancing, the associated current fair value of the

derivative liability of $1.1 million was remeasured at the date of refinancing and was derecognized and

recorded as a debt discount to the 2024 Term Loan. Refer to Note 13 for additional information.

In connection with the conversion of $23.0 million of principal under the 2024 Term Loan to 2025

Convertible Notes under Amendment No.1 to the 2024 Credit Agreement in January 2025, $239,000 of

pro-rata debt discount under the 2024 Term Loan was reclassified as a debt discount under the 2025

Convertible Notes.

The debt issuance costs and debt discount are classified as an offset to the Term Loan on the

consolidated balance sheets, and is accreted over the loan term using the effective interest method.

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

As of December 31, 2023, the effective interest rate of the Initial Term Loan and the New Money Term

Loan was 16.1% and 26.8%, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 (unaudited), the

effective interest rate of the 2024 Term Loan was 16.0% and 15.2%, respectively.

***Collateral and Covenants***

The 2024 Term Loan is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. The 2024 Credit

Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, covenants, events of default,

termination provisions and affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, covenants that

limit or restrict the Company's (and its subsidiaries) ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens,

merge or consolidate, make acquisitions, pay dividends or other distributions or repurchase equity, make

investments, dispose of assets and enter into certain transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to

certain exceptions. Events of default include, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or fees,

violation of covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events,

material judgments, cross-defaults to material contracts and events constituting a change of control. Upon

the occurrence of an event of default, the interest rate applicable to the 2024 Term Loan shall increase by

3.0% per annum and the outstanding principal balance, along with any accrued interest, shall become

immediately due and payable. The Company is subject to financial covenants which requires the

Company to maintain a $25.0 million minimum liquidity balance in cash and cash equivalents at all times

and minimum net sales for twelve consecutive month periods ending on the last day of a fiscal quarter,

which is not tested as long as the Company maintains minimum liquidity of at least $60.0 million and there

has been no decline in net sales for two-consecutive fiscal quarters at the end of such fiscal quarter. The

minimum twelve months trailing net sales covenant increases each quarter and is $70.0 million for the

quarter ended March 31, 2024 up to a minimum net sales amount of $110.0 million for the quarter ended

June 30, 2025 and each quarter thereafter. In connection with Amendment No.1 to the 2024 Term Loan in

January 2025, the minimum liquidity cash balance covenant under the 2024 Term Loan was reduced to

$15.0 million from the previous $25.0 million. Other non-financial covenants are outlined in the 2024

Credit Agreement.

As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 (unaudited), the Company was in compliance with the

2024 Term Loan covenants.

The 2024 Term Loan was classified as long-term on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31,

2023 and 2024 and March 31, 2025 (unaudited). As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of

the Term Loan was $132.4 million. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 (unaudited), the

Company believes the fair value of the 2024 Term Loan approximates its carrying value due to the

relatively close proximity of the 2024 Term Loan Refinancing and amendment to the balance sheet date.

**9. Convertible Notes**

***2022 Convertible Notes***

During the period from September 2022 through December 2022, the Company issued convertible

promissory notes to the 2022 Convertible Note Investors, with an aggregate principal amount of $40.0

million. The 2022 Convertible Notes bore interest at a rate of 8% per annum, compounded monthly. The

aggregate principal amount and interest accrued on the 2022 Convertible Notes was due September 30,

2026, and could not be prepaid by the Company without the consent of a majority of the 2022 Convertible

Note Investors.

The principal and accrued interest on the 2022 Convertible Notes was subject to automatic conversion

upon a Qualified Financing (defined as a transaction or series of transactions in which the Company sells

shares of its capital stock for cash proceeds of at least $100 million, including the 2022 Convertible

Notes) at a conversion price equal to 67% of the price per share paid by the investors purchasing such

capital stock in such Qualified Financing. Upon a Non-Qualified Financing, whereby the cash proceeds

are less than $100 million, upon the written consent of a majority of the 2022 Convertible Note Investors,

the 2022 Convertible Notes shall convert on the same terms as a Qualified Financing.

The 2022 Convertible Notes were also subject to repayment upon a Change of Control. A Change of

Control is defined as a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, a merger or business

combination with a change in more than 50% of the voting interest, or after a person or group, directly or

indirectly, owns more than 35% of the capital stock of the Company after the Company becomes publicly

traded.

In March 2023, the Company completed a Qualified Financing and all of the 2022 Convertible Notes,

including principal and interest, were converted into 21,465,064 shares of Series F-1 redeemable

convertible preferred stock and the Company derecognized the 2022 Convertible Notes from its

consolidated balance sheets. The Company remeasured the fair value of the 2022 Convertible Notes

immediately before the conversion and recognized a loss of $5.1 million from the change in fair value

within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended

December 31, 2023.

***2025 Convertible Notes (unaudited)***

In January and March 2025, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to Requisite Holders in

the aggregate amount of $98.3 million, which was comprised of $74.0 million in aggregate principal

amount of notes issued for cash consideration, $1.3 million in aggregate principal amount of notes issued

in lieu of cash compensation to certain employees and $23.0 million in aggregate principal amount of

notes issued from the conversion of principal under the 2024 Term Loan. Net cash proceeds was $72.7

million after deducting $1.2 million of debt issuance costs, of which $1.1 million was unpaid as of March

31, 2025 (unaudited).

The 2025 Convertible Notes are due and payable in full 48 months from the issue date. Upon completion

of an IPO transaction, the 2025 Convertible Notes shall automatically convert into shares of the

Company's common stock at the IPO price per share at the lower of a 20% discount and a valuation cap

of $2.0 billion on a pre-money basis. In the event the Company completes a sale of shares of preferred

stock, the Requisite Holders may elect to convert the outstanding 2025 Convertible Notes into shares of

such series of preferred stock at the same terms. Further, upon a change of control transaction, the

Requisite Holders may elect to convert the outstanding 2025 Convertible Notes into shares of the

Company's common stock at the lower of a 20% discount to the implied price per share of common stock

in the change of control transaction and a valuation cap of $2.0 billion on a pre-money basis, or receive

payment of all principal and any accrued but unpaid PIK interest.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

The 2025 Convertible Notes do not accrue interest for one year following the date of issuance. Following

the one-year anniversary of the issue date and for the remainder of the term, the 2025 Convertible Notes

interest will accrue on an annual basis at the rate of 7.0% per annum (PIK Interest). All PIK Interest

accrued and payable will be paid by capitalizing such interest on an annual basis and adding it to the

outstanding principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes.

The 2025 Convertible Notes contain embedded derivative features, including conversion upon a change

in control and automatic conversion upon completion of a qualified IPO, that were required to be

bifurcated and accounted for separately as a single derivative instrument. The issuance date estimated

fair values of the derivative liability was $11.1 million and $20.8 million in January and March 2025

(unaudited), respectively, which was accounted for as a debt discount. See Note 13 for additional

information. The debt issuance costs and debt discount are classified as an offset to the 2025 Convertible

Notes on the consolidated balance sheets, and are accreted over the loan term using the effective

interest method.

As of March 31, 2025 (unaudited), the aggregate principal balance due under the 2025 Convertible Notes

was $98.3 million and was classified as long-term on the consolidated balance sheets.

**10. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock**

In March 2023, the Company issued 61,344,029 shares of Series F redeemable convertible preferred

stock to existing and new investors at a price per share of $2.8505 for an aggregate cash consideration of

$174.9 million, net of $5.9 million issuance costs. Contemporaneously with the issuance of the Series F

redeemable convertible preferred stock, the Company converted all of the outstanding Convertible Notes

issued by the Company from September 30, 2022 to December 16, 2022, in the aggregate principal

amount of $40.0 million plus accrued, unpaid interest of $994,000 into 21,465,064 shares of Series F-1

redeemable convertible preferred stock at a price per share of $1.9098, which represents a discount of

33% from the cash purchase price per share. Additionally, in connection with the Series F redeemable

convertible preferred stock financing, the cumulative dividends payable to holders of Series C redeemable

convertible preferred stock upon a liquidation event were capped from $6.66 to $8.25 per share

depending on the time of issuance, with an aggregate total of $88.5 million.

The issuance of the Series F redeemable convertible preferred stock triggered the anti-dilution protection

provision for Series B-1, Series B-2, Series C, Series D and Series E stockholders. As a result, the

Company recorded a $26.8 million deemed dividend in the amount equal to the change in fair value of the

abovementioned series of convertible preferred stock before and after the anti-dilution adjustment. The

fair value of the Series B-1, Series B-2, Series C, Series D and Series E redeemable convertible preferred

stock was determined using a "with-and-without" model under which the equity value of the Company was

allocated using a hybrid method, whereby the enterprise value in the IPO scenario is allocated to each

class of shares using the fully-diluted shares outstanding and whereby the enterprise value in the non-

IPO scenario is allocated using an option-pricing model to reflect the full distribution of possible non-IPO

outcomes, both before and after the anti-dilution adjustment. The following table summarizes information

The significant rights and obligations of the Company's redeemable convertible preferred stock are as

follows:

***Dividends***

The holders of Series A, Series B-1, Series B-2, Series C, Series D, Series E, Series F and Series F-1

redeemable convertible preferred stock are entitled, on a pro rata, pari passu basis, when and if declared

by the Board of Directors, to non-cumulative dividends out of the Company's assets legally available

therefore at the rate of $0.030, $0.284, $0.284, $0.7384, $1.24, $2.0265, $0.2281 and $0.1528 per share

per annum, respectively. No distributions will be made with respect to the common stock until all declared

but unpaid dividends on redeemable convertible preferred stock have been paid or set aside for payment

to the convertible preferred stockholders. Except with respect to the rights of the holders of Series C

redeemable convertible preferred stock upon a liquidation event, the right to receive dividends on shares

of redeemable convertible preferred stock are non-cumulative, and no right to such dividends accrues to

holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock by reason of the fact that dividends on such shares are

not declared or paid in any years. At December 31, 2023 and 2024 and March 31, 2025 (unaudited), no

dividends had been declared or paid.

Dividends are payable to preferred stockholders in the order of: first, the Series F and Series F-1

redeemable convertible preferred stock, then the Series E redeemable convertible preferred stock, then

the Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock, then the Series C redeemable convertible preferred

stock, then the Series B-1 and B-2 redeemable convertible preferred stock, and then finally, the Series A

redeemable convertible preferred stock. After payment of the full amount of any dividends described

above, any additional dividends shall be distributed among all holders of common stock and all holders of

redeemable convertible preferred stock on an as-converted basis.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

The holders of Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock are the only preferred stockholders

entitled to cumulative dividends upon a liquidation event. In connection with the Series F redeemable

convertible preferred stock financing, the cumulative dividends payable to holders of Series C redeemable

convertible preferred stock upon a liquidation event were capped from $6.66 to $8.25 per share

depending on the time of issuance, with an aggregate total of $88.5 million, provided, however, that the

Company shall be under no obligation to pay such Series C preferred accruing dividends until a

liquidation event; provided further, that a holder of shares of Series C redeemable convertible preferred

stock shall automatically forfeit any then accrued but unpaid Series C redeemable convertible preferred

accruing dividends with respect to such shares upon conversion of such shares into shares of common

stock. As of December 31, 2023 and 2024 and March 31, 2025 (unaudited), the total accumulated, but not

yet declared or paid, dividends of $88.5 million related to the Series C redeemable convertible preferred

stock was not recorded in the consolidated financial statements as an accrued dividend as such an event

was not considered probable to occur.

***Liquidation Rights***

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary,

the holders of Series F, Series F-1, Series E, Series D, Series C, Series B-1, Series B-2 and Series A

redeemable convertible preferred stock are entitled to liquidation preferences in the amount of $4.2758,

$2.8647, $25.3317, $15.50, $9.23, $3.55, $3.55, and $0.50 per share, respectively, for each outstanding

share plus all declared but unpaid dividends, if the shares are not converted to common stock.

Payment of liquidation rights to preferred stockholders are in the order of: first, the Series F and Series

F-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock, then the Series E redeemable convertible preferred stock,

then the Series D redeemable convertible preferred stock, then the Series C redeemable convertible

preferred stock, then the Series B-1 and B-2 redeemable convertible preferred stock, and then finally, the

Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock. The remaining assets, if any, shall be distributed to the

holders of common stock.

If upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company legally

available for distribution to the holders of the Series F, Series F-1, Series E, Series D, Series C, Series

B-1, Series B-2 and Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock are insufficient to permit the

payment to such holders of the full liquidation preferences to which they are entitled, then the holders of

the Company's common stock will receive nothing in respect of their equity holdings in the Company.

Upon such an event, the assets of the Company legally available for distribution shall satisfy the

respective liquidation preferences of the preferred stockholders with equal pro rata priority in the same

preferential order as described above.

***Conversion Rights***

Each share of Series A, Series B-1, Series B-2, Series C, Series D, Series E, Series F and Series F-1

redeemable convertible preferred stock shall automatically be converted into fully-paid, nonassessable

shares of common stock at the then effective conversion rate per share (currently $0.50, $3.0161,

$3.0161, $5.4841, $8.2085, $12.4806, $2.8505 and $1.9098, respectively) for such share prior to the

closing of a firm commitment underwritten IPO pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under

the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or SPAC transaction covering the offer and sale of the

Company's common stock, provided that (i) the aggregate gross proceeds to the Company are not less

than $100,000,000 and (ii) the per share price of the shares sold in the public offering shall be no less

than $4.9884 per share or $5.7010 per share (subject to adjustment from time to time for

Recapitalizations and as otherwise set forth elsewhere herein) so long as a certain investor holds at least

11,693,855 shares of Series F redeemable convertible preferred stock (a ''Qualified Public Offering'') shall

automatically be converted into fully-paid, nonassessable shares of common stock at the then effective

conversion rate for such share upon the written consent of the holders of a majority of the Series F and

F-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock (voting as a single class and on an as-converted basis). The

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

conversion rates per share for previously issued preferred stock were amended as a result of the Series F

redeemable convertible preferred stock financing from the original conversion rates per share for Series

B-1, Series B-2, Series C, Series D and Series E redeemable convertible preferred stock ($3.55, $3.55,

$9.23, $15.50 and 25.3317, respectively). Upon a Qualified Public Offering, shares of each series of the

outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock are convertible into the number of shares of common

stock determined by dividing the original issue price for the relevant series of redeemable convertible

preferred stock by the conversion price for such series. As of December 31, 2023 and 2024 and March

31, 2025 (unaudited), shares of Series A, Series B-1, Series B-2, Series C, Series D, Series E, Series F

and Series F-1 outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock are convertible into shares of

common stock on a 1:1, 1.177017:1, 1.177017:1, 1.683047:1, 1.888287:1, 2.029686:1, 1:1, and 1:1

basis, respectively.

***Voting Rights***

The holder of each share of Series A, Series B-1, Series B-2, Series C, Series D, Series E, Series F and

Series F-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock

into which it could be converted.

**11. Common Stock**

Under the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company is authorized to

issue 210,300,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock.

Common stock reserved for issuance, on an as-converted basis, consisted of the following:

**12. Common Stock Warrant Liability**

On January 19, 2021, in connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, the Company issued Hayfin

a warrant to purchase 315,810 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. On

March 17, 2022, upon amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Company issued Hayfin a warrant to

purchase 225,579 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. On March 3, 2023,

upon Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement and as a result of antidilution adjustment provisions in

connection with the Series F redeemable convertible preferred stock financing, the Company issued

Hayfin a warrant to purchase 4,269,801 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share

(collectively, the "Warrants"). As of December 31, 2023 and 2024 and March 31, 2025 (unaudited), all

warrants remained outstanding.

The Warrants have a net exercise provision under which their holders may, in lieu of payment of the

exercise price in cash, surrender the warrant and receive a net amount of shares based on the fair market

value of the Company's stock at the time of exercise of the Warrants after deduction of the aggregate

exercise price. The Warrants contain provisions for adjustment of the exercise price and number of

shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, if upon the issuance of next round securities, the

Warrants are then currently exercisable and the next round price is less than $25.3317 per share (as

adjusted for any stock splits, recapitalizations, and the like). In such case, the number of exercise shares

shall be increased to equal the quotient obtained by dividing (a) $8.0 million by (b) the next round price.

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

The Warrants also have customary antidilution protection provisions. The Warrants will terminate on the

ten-year anniversary of the issuance date, however, the Warrants will automatically net exercise

immediately prior to termination if the fair market value of one share of common stock exceeds the then

current exercise price per share of common stock. In connection with certain change of control

transactions, which include SPAC combinations, mergers, consolidations and the sale or lease of

substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Warrants will also automatically net exercise if the fair

market value of one share of common stock exceeds the then current exercise price per share of

common stock. The Warrants do not automatically net exercise in connection with an initial public offering.

The aggregate fair value of the Warrants issued in connection with the initial Credit Agreement and the

amended Credit Agreement was $4.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively, at issuance and was

recognized as a debt discount and recorded as a warrant liability.

The warrant liabilities were remeasured to fair value as of December 31, 2023 and 2024 and March 31,

2024 and 2025 (unaudited), resulting in a (gain) loss of $2.3 million, $16.4 million, $(1,000) and $1.6

million, respectively, within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The fair value of the common stock warrant liability was determined using the Black-Scholes option

pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions:

**13. Derivative Liability**

***Term Loan***

Prior to the 2024 Term Loan Refinancing in June 2024, the Term Loan contained certain prepayment

features, default put option and default interest adjustment features that were determined to be

embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation and separate accounting as a single compound derivative, as

discussed in Note 8. The fair value of the derivative liability was recorded at the issuance date as debt

discounts and reductions to the carrying value of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets. The

derivative liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting period and the related changes in fair

value are recorded on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Through the

time of the 2024 Term Loan Refinancing in June 2024, the Company continued to adjust the derivative

liability for changes in fair value of the Term Loan.

Estimating fair values of the derivative liability requires the development of significant and subjective

estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in

internal and external market factors. Since the derivative financial instrument is initially and subsequently

carried at fair value, the Company's income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption

changes.

The derivative liability was remeasured to fair value as of December 31, 2023 and June 14, 2024,

resulting in a gain of $4.2 million and a loss of $222,000, respectively, within the consolidated statements

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

of operations and comprehensive loss. In connection with the 2024 Term Loan Refinancing on June 14,

2024, the associated current fair value of the derivative liability of $1.1 million as remeasured at the date

of refinancing was derecognized and recorded as a debt discount to the 2024 Term Loan.

The fair value of the derivative liability was estimated using a scenario-based analysis comparing the

probability-weighted present value of the Term Loan payoff at maturity with and without the bifurcated

features. The Company used both the Black-Scholes-Merton and option pricing method to estimate the

fair value of the derivative liability because it believes these techniques are reflective of all significant

assumption types and ranges of assumption inputs that market participants would likely consider in

transactions involving compound embedded derivatives. The option pricing method was employed as part

of a back-solve analysis to the Company's Series F Preferred round of financing. The Company's

assumptions used in determining the fair value of the derivative liability is as follows:

---

*Debt yield* — Discount rate that reconciles the total fair value of the Warrants and 2021 Credit Agreement

with the transaction value. Debt yield reflects a change in the credit benchmark for a "CCC" rated

obligation.

***2025 Convertible Notes (unaudited)***

The 2025 Convertible Notes were determined to contain certain settlement features and conversion put

options which require bifurcation and separate accounting as a single compound embedded derivative, as

discussed in Note 9. The fair value of the derivative liability was recorded at the issuance dates as a debt

discount and reduction to the carrying value of the 2025 Convertible Notes on the consolidated balance

sheets. The derivative liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting period and the related

changes in fair value are recorded on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The fair value of the derivative liability was estimated using a scenario-based analysis comparing the

probability-weighted present value of the 2025 Convertible Notes with and without the bifurcated features.

The Company used the Monte Carlo Simulation method to estimate the fair value of the derivative liability

because it believes this technique is reflective of all significant assumption types and ranges of

assumption inputs that market participants would likely consider in transactions involving compound

embedded derivatives. The option pricing method was employed as part of a back-solve analysis for

scenarios in which the Company was expected to raise another financing round. The Company also

employed a waterfall analysis that allocated certain exit proceeds to its outstanding share classes for

scenarios in which the Company was assumed to exit via change of control or initial public offering. The

Company's assumptions used in determining the issuance date fair value of the derivative liability is as

follows:

The issuance date estimated fair values of the derivative liability was $11.1 million (unaudited) and $20.8

million (unaudited) in January and March 2025, respectively, which were recorded as debt discounts. The

January 2025 derivative liability was remeasured to fair value as of March 31, 2025 (unaudited) using the

March 26, 2025 assumptions, resulting in a loss of $9.0 million within the consolidated statements of

operations and comprehensive loss. The aggregate fair value of the derivative liability as of March 31,

2025 (unaudited) was $40.9 million.

**14. Equity Incentive Plan**

In 2009, the Company adopted its 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") which provides for the grant of

stock options to the Company's employees, members of the Board of Directors and consultants. Options

granted under the Plan may be either incentive stock options ("ISOs") or nonqualified stock options

("NSOs"). ISOs may be granted only to employees. NSOs, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock,

and Restricted Stock Units may be granted to employees, members of the Board of Directors and

consultants. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 (unaudited), the Company reserved

30,787,082 shares for issuance under the Plan.

Options under the Plan have a term of ten years from the grant date. The option exercise price will be

determined by the Board of Directors, but will be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on

the date of grant. In addition, in the case of an ISO granted to an employee who owns stock representing

more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, the per share exercise price

will be no less than 110% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. Through December 31,

2024 and March 31, 2025 (unaudited), options granted generally vest over (i) four years with 25% vesting

on the first anniversary of the issuance date and 1/48th per month thereafter or (ii) vesting monthly in

equal installments over four years.

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying

stock options and the fair value of the Company's common stock for stock options that were in-the-money

at each reporting period. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised for the years ended

December 31, 2023 and 2024 and three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025 (unaudited) was

$4,000, $1.7 million, $1,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.

***Stock-Based Compensation***

The Company estimated the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model

based on the following assumptions:

| Risk-free interest rate............................ | 4.2% | 3.5%-4.5% | n/a | 4.0% |
| Dividend yield......................................... | –% | –% | n/a | –% |

---

The significant assumptions used in these calculations are summarized as follows:

*Fair value of common stock*. Because there has been no public market for the Company's common stock,

the fair value of common stock shares underlying stock options has historically been determined by the

Board of Directors at the time of option grant by considering independent valuation performed by third-

party valuation firm as well as a number of objective and subjective factors, including valuation of

comparable companies, sales of convertible preferred stock to unrelated third parties, operating and

financial performance, the lack of liquidity of capital stock and general and industry specific economic

outlook, among other factors. The fair value of common stock was determined in accordance with

applicable elements of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, Valuation of

Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. In 2023, the Company considered

the stay private scenario and IPO exit scenario. In the stay private scenario, three market methodologies

were employed including (i) a market indexing valuation analysis based on the Series F Preferred

financing round, (ii) a guideline public company analysis based on the Company's historical and forecast

operating metrics, and (iii) a guideline transaction analysis based on the Company's historical and

forecast operating metrics. In the IPO exit scenario, the total equity value was estimated based on the

expected timing, offering size and pre-money valuation. A hybrid method was used to allocate equity

value to common stock under the stay private and IPO scenarios.

*Expected term*. The expected term of stock options represents the weighted-average period the stock

options are expected to remain outstanding. The Company does not have sufficient historical exercise

and post-vesting termination activity to provide accurate data for estimating the expected term of options

and has opted to use the "simplified method," whereby the expected term equals the arithmetic average

of the vesting term and the original contractual term of the option.

*Expected volatility*. As the Company is not publicly traded, the expected volatility for the Company's stock

options was determined by using an average of historical volatilities of selected industry peers deemed to

be comparable to the Company's business corresponding to the expected term of the awards.

*Risk-free interest rate*. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the

time of grant for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities corresponding to the expected term of

the awards.

*Expected dividend yield*. The expected dividend rate is zero as the Company currently has no history or

expectation of declaring dividends on its common stock.

The Company also issues stock options with vesting based upon completion of performance goals. The

fair value for these performance-based awards is recognized over the period during which the goals are

to be achieved. Stock-based compensation expense recognized at fair value includes the impact of

estimated probability that the goals would be achieved, which is assessed prior to the requisite service

period for the specific goals.

(1)Includes stock-based compensation expense of $627,000 during the year ended December 31, 2023 related to a repurchase of

common shares from one employee, as described below.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2024 and March 31, 2025 (unaudited), total unrecognized stock-based

compensation costs related to unvested stock options was $20.7 million, $16.5 million and $15.7 million,

respectively, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 3.22 years,

2.79 years and 2.65 years, respectively.

In January 2023, the fair value of the Company's common stock declined from $14.27 to $0.76 per share,

prompting the Company to reduce the exercise price of certain stock options to $0.76, effective July 10,

2023. No other changes to the stock options' terms were made. The Company calculated the incremental

fair value by calculating the fair value of the award immediately before and immediately after the

modification. The fair value of the award immediately before the repricing is based on assumptions

(including volatility, expected term and risk free interest rate) that reflect the facts and circumstances on

the modification date and therefore, differ from the fair value calculated on the grant date. The average

additional compensation per award from the modification was $0.09 and the aggregate incremental

expense was $649,000, of which $340,000 was immediately recognized on the modification date and the

remaining amount is recognized over the options' remaining requisite service period.

In March 2023, the Board of Directors approved a repurchase of 300,000 common shares from an

employee of the Company at a purchase price of $2.8505 per share for total consideration of $855,000.

The fair value of the repurchased common shares was $228,000, and the difference between the

repurchase price and fair value of the common shares of $627,000 was recorded as stock-based

compensation expense within research and development expense in the consolidated statements of

operations and comprehensive loss during the year ended December 31, 2023.

**15. Employee Retirement Plan**

The Company has a qualified retirement plan under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC")

under which participants may contribute up to 100% of their eligible compensation, subject to maximum

deferral limits specified by the IRC. The Company may make matching contributions of up to 4.0% of an

employee's eligible compensation, subject to conditions specified by the IRC. During the years ended

December 31, 2023 and 2024, and three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, the Company's

matching contributions totaled $1.4 million, $1.5 million, $356,000 and $688,000, respectively.

As the Company has incurred annual net operating losses since inception, a full valuation allowance is

provided against U.S. net deferred tax assets due to uncertainties regarding the Company's ability to

realize these assets. The valuation allowance increased by $20.4 million and $16.8 million for the years

ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

**HeartFlow Holding, Inc.**

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $542.9

million and $435.5 million available to reduce future taxable income, if any, for federal and state income

tax purposes, respectively. Of these amounts, $355.9 million of federal net operating losses are carried

forward indefinitely, and $187.0 million are limited to 80% of future taxable income. The remaining federal

net operating losses will expire starting in 2030. Utilization of net operating loss carryforwards may be

subject to an annual limitation in certain situations where changes occur in the stock ownership of a

company. In the event the Company has undergone or undergoes a change in ownership, utilization of

the carryforwards could be limited.

The Company also had federal and California research and development credit carryforwards of

approximately $9.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. The federal credits

will expire starting in 2030, if not utilized. The California credits have no expiration date.

Deferred income taxes have not been provided for undistributed earnings of the Company's consolidated

foreign subsidiaries because of the Company's intent to reinvest such earnings indefinitely in active

foreign operations. The Company believes that future domestic cash generation will be sufficient to meet

future domestic cash needs. The Company has not recorded a deferred tax liability on the undistributed

earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries. The foreign withholding taxes would not have a material impact on the

Company's financial position and results of operation. As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, the Company

had $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in unremitted earnings that were indefinitely reinvested

related to its consolidated foreign subsidiaries.

The Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023 and 2024 was $8.2 million and

$8.6 million, respectively, all of which would affect the Company's income tax expense if recognized

before consideration of the Company's valuation allowance. The Company does not expect its

unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months. The Company recognizes

interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of provision for income

taxes.

The following table summarizes the activity related to unrecognized tax benefits as follows (in thousands):

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state and certain foreign

jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by their respective

taxing authorities. The Company has been selected for audit by the Internal Revenue Service for its 2022

tax year. The examination is at its early stages. However, no tax adjustments are anticipated. The statute

of limitations remains effectively open for the U.S. federal and state tax jurisdictions for all tax years from

2010 through 2024. Tax years outside the normal statute of limitations remain open to examination by tax

authorities due to tax attributes generated in earlier years which have been carried forward and may be

examined and adjusted in subsequent years when utilized.

***Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2025 (unaudited)***

The Company had an effective tax rate of 0% for both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025

(unaudited). The Company continues to incur operating losses.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2025 (unaudited), the Company has evaluated all

available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and

risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and has determined that it is more likely than not

that its net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Due to uncertainties surrounding the realization of the

deferred tax assets, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its net deferred

tax assets.

**18. Subsequent Events**

The Company has reviewed and evaluated subsequent events as of December 31, 2023 through March

26, 2025, the date that the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

*2025 Convertible Notes*

In January and March 2025, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to various investors and

certain employees (the "Requisite Holders") in the aggregate amount of $98.3 million, which was

comprised of $75.3 million in aggregate principal amount of notes issued for cash consideration, $1.3

million in aggregate principal amount of notes issued in lieu of cash compensation to certain employees,

and $23.0 million in aggregate principal amount of notes issued in the 2024 Term Loan Conversion

(collectively, the "2025 Convertible Notes"). The 2025 Convertible Notes are due and payable in full 48

months from the issue date. Upon completion of an IPO transaction, the 2025 Convertible Notes shall

automatically convert into shares of the Company's common stock at the IPO price per share at the lower

of a 20% discount and a valuation cap of $2.0 billion on a pre-money basis. In the event the Company

completes a sale of shares of preferred stock, the Requisite Holders may elect to convert the outstanding

2025 Convertible Notes into shares of such series of preferred stock at the same terms. Further, upon a

change of control transaction, the Requisite Holders may elect to convert the outstanding 2025

Convertible Notes into shares of the Company's common stock at the lower of a 20% discount to the

implied price per share of common stock in the change of control transaction and a valuation cap of $2.0

billion on a pre-money basis, or receive payment of all principal and any accrued but unpaid PIK interest.

The 2025 Convertible Notes do not accrue interest for one year following the date of issuance. Following

the one-year anniversary of the issue date and for the remainder of the term, the 2025 Convertible Notes

interest will accrue on an annual basis at the rate of 7.0% per annum (PIK Interest). All PIK Interest

accrued and payable will be paid by capitalizing such interest on an annual basis and adding it to the

outstanding principal amount of the 2025 Convertible Notes. The Company is currently analyzing the

appropriate accounting treatment and financial statement impact related to the 2025 Convertible Notes on

its consolidated financial statements.

*2025 Amendment to 2024 Credit Agreement*

On January 24, 2025, in connection with the issuance of the 2025 Convertible Notes, the Company

entered into Amendment No.1 to the 2024 Credit Agreement, in which its lender, Hayfin, converted $23.0

million of principal under the 2024 Term Loan to 2025 Convertible Notes under the same terms as the

other purchasers of the 2025 Convertible Notes. The principal balance outstanding under the 2024 Term

Loan, as amended, is $115.1 million. The minimum liquidity cash balance covenant under the 2024 Term

Loan was reduced to $15.0 million from the previous $25.0 million. In addition, the amount immediately

payable upon the consummation of an IPO or SPAC, as defined in the terms of the 2024 Credit

Agreement, was amended where repayment of the 2024 Term Loan will be at an amount equal to the

lesser of (i) the net cash proceeds of such IPO or SPAC in excess of $150.0 million and (ii) $50.0 million

(or $55.0 million if the underwriters exercise any portion of their option to purchase additional shares).

The exit fee and prepayment fee remaining under the original terms of the 2024 Term Loan, which were

immediately due and payable upon issuance of the 2025 Convertible Notes was also amended to be

immediately due and payable upon the next occurrence of a financing event as described in Note 8.

**\***To be filed by amendment.

**Item 14. Indemnification of directors and officers.** 

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware General Corporation

Law") provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and

individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement

actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending, or

completed actions, suits, or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person

being or having been a director, officer, employee, or agent to the Registrant. The Delaware General

Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking

indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested

directors, or otherwise. Article X of the Registrant's current amended and restated certificate of

incorporation and VIII of the Registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be effective

upon completion of the sale of the Registrant's common stock being registered each provide for

indemnification by the Registrant of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the

Delaware General Corporation Law. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with

each of its current directors, executive officers, and certain other officers to provide these directors and

officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in the

Registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and to provide additional procedural

protections. There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director or executive officer of the

Registrant for which indemnification is sought.

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its

certificate of incorporation that a director or an officer of the corporation shall not be personally liable to

the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or an

officer, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's or officer's duty of loyalty to the corporation or

its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a

knowing violation of law, (iii) in the case of directors, for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i2341357d54884756b9e9172f0a83cd6b_688)</u>

repurchases, redemptions, or other distributions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director or

officer derived an improper personal benefit; provided that officers may not be indemnified for actions by

or in the right of the corporation. The Registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be

effective upon completion of the sale of the Registrant's common stock being registered provides for such

limitation of liability.

The Registrant maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to its

directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful

act and (b) to the Registrant with respect to payments that may be made by the Registrant to such

officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

The proposed form of underwriting agreement to be filed as Exhibit 1.1. to this registration statement

provides for indemnification of officers and directors of the Registrant by the underwriters against certain

liabilities.

**Item 15. Recent sales of unregistered securities.**

Since January 1, 2022, to the date of this registration statement, the Registrant made sales of the

following unregistered securities:

its HeartFlow Holding, Inc. Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Incentive Plan ("2009 Equity Incentive

Plan"), with a weighted-average exercise price of $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share.

2. Since January 1, 2022, the Registrant issued and sold to its directors, employees, consultants, and

other service providers an aggregate of&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shares of its Common Stock upon the exercise of

stock options under its 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, with a weighted-average exercise price of

$&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; per share.

***(b) Sales of preferred stock***

3. In March 2023, the Registrant sold an aggregate of (i) 61,344,029 shares of its Series F redeemable

convertible preferred stock to 29 accredited investors at a purchase price of $2.8505 per share and

(ii) 21,465,064 shares of its Series F-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock to 19 accredited

**Item 17. Undertakings.**

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,

officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the

Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy

as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for

indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or

paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,

suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the

securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been

settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such

indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the

final adjudication of such issue.

Prior to the distribution or redemption provided for in this Section 3(f), the Company shall not expend or dissipate the consideration received for such Liquidation Event, except to discharge expenses incurred in connection with such Liquidation Event.

In the event of a Liquidation Event pursuant to this Section 3, if any portion of the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Company 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 Company in accordance with Sections 3(a) and 3(b) as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Liquidation Event; and (b) any Additional Consideration which becomes payable to the stockholders of the Company upon satisfaction of such contingencies shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Company in accordance with Sections 3(a) and 3(b) after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction. For the purposes of this Section 3(g), consideration placed into escrow or retained as a holdback to be available for satisfaction of indemnification or similar obligations or otherwise subject to contingencies in connection with such Liquidation Event shall be deemed to be Additional Consideration.

The number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock of a series may be converted is hereinafter referred to as the "**Conversion Rate**" for each such series. Upon any decrease or increase in the Conversion Price for any series of Preferred Stock, as described in this Section 4, the Conversion Rate for such series shall be appropriately adjusted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into fully-paid, non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Rate for such share immediately prior to the closing of a SPAC Transaction, provided that: (A) (i) such SPAC Transaction will result in cash on the balance sheet of the successor company of the SPAC Transaction of not less than $100,000,000 and (ii) the per share price assigned to each share of Common Stock in such SPAC Transaction is not less than $4.9884 per share (subject to adjustment from time to time for Recapitalization and as otherwise set forth elsewhere herein); or (B) (i) so long as BCLS holds at least 11,693,855 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, the affirmative consent of BCLS, (ii) the addition of cash

to the balance sheet of the successor company of the SPAC Transaction of not less than $100,000,000, and (iii) the per share price assigned to each share of Common Stock in such SPAC Transaction is not less than $5.7010 per share (subject to adjustment from time to time for Recapitalization and as otherwise set forth elsewhere herein) (in each case of (A) or (B), a "**Qualified SPAC Transaction**"). A "**SPAC Transaction**" shall mean a transaction or series of transactions (whether by merger, consolidation, or transfer or issuance of equity interests or otherwise) whereby a special purpose acquisition company acquires all of the equity interests of the Company (or any surviving or resulting company).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All shares of each series of Preferred Stock then outstanding shall automatically be converted into fully paid, non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Rate applicable to each such series upon the written request of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock and Series F-1 Preferred Stock (voting as a single series and on an as-converted basis).

Each of the events referred to in this Section 4(c) are referred to herein as an "**Automatic Conversion Event**" and the time of such Automatic Conversion Event or the date and time specified or the time of the Automatic Conversion Event is referred to herein as the "**Mandatory Conversion Time**."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Fractional Shares</u>**. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. For such purpose, all shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder of Preferred Stock shall be aggregated, and any resulting fractional share of Common Stock shall be paid in cash, *provided* that the Company shall not be obligated to pay cash to a holder of any fractional share if the total amount payable to such holder in respect of such fractional share pursuant to the foregoing would be less than $100.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Mechanics of Conversion</u>**. All holders of record of shares of Preferred Stock shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock, and to receive certificates therefor, and shall either (A) surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock or (B) notify the Company or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and execute an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that he elects to convert the same; *provided*, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Automatic Conversion Event unless either the certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are delivered to the Company or its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. On the date of the occurrence of an Automatic Conversion Event, each holder of record of shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, notwithstanding that the certificates representing such shares of Preferred Stock shall not have been surrendered at the office of the Company, that notice from the Company shall not have been received by any holder of record of shares of Preferred

------

Stock, or that the certificates evidencing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to such holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Stock Certificates</u>**. The Company shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or after such agreement and indemnification, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled as aforesaid and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock, plus any declared and unpaid dividends on the converted Preferred Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date; *provided, however,* that if the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offer of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act or a merger, sale, financing, or liquidation of the Company or other event, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing of such transaction or upon the occurrence of such event, in which case the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such transaction or the occurrence of such event. The outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and all rights with respect to the Preferred Stock converted pursuant to this Section 4, 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 any certificates at or prior to such time).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Effect of Conversion</u>**. All shares of 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 Mandatory Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Any shares of Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Company may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Taxes</u>**. The Company 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 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4. The Company 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 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 Company the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Adjustments to Conversion Price for Diluting Issues</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Special Definition</u>**. For purposes of this paragraph 4(i), "**Additional Shares of Common Stock**" shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued (or, pursuant to paragraph

------

4(i)(iii), deemed to be issued) by the Company after the filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "**Original Issue Date**"), other than issuances or deemed issuances of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of Options or Convertible Securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shares of Common Stock issued or issuable as a dividend or distribution on Preferred Stock or pursuant to any event for which adjustment is made pursuant to paragraph 4(i)(vi), 4(j) or 4(k) hereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in a registered public offering under the Securities Act pursuant to which all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are automatically converted into Common Stock pursuant to a Qualified Public Offering;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in connection with any settlement of any action, suit, proceeding or litigation approved by the Board of Directors, including the Series F Director;

No adjustment in the applicable Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock shall be made as the result of the issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock if the Company receives written notice from the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such series of Preferred Stock; *provided*, however that a waiver of any adjustment to the Conversion Price of the Series F Preferred Stock or Series F-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4 shall require the affirmative written consent or vote of the Series F Requisite Holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock</u>**. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the 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 (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provisions contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or, in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options and the conversion or exchange of the underlying securities, shall be deemed to have been 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, *provided* that in any such case in which shares are deemed to be issued:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;no further adjustment in the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock shall be made upon the subsequent issue of Convertible Securities or shares of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of such Options or conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4(i)(iv), 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 Company upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the 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 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 (4) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the 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 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;upon the expiration of any such Options or any rights of conversion or exchange under such Convertible Securities which shall not have been exercised, the Conversion Price of each Series of Preferred Stock computed upon the original issue thereof (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) and any subsequent adjustments based thereon shall, upon such expiration, be recomputed as if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, only the Convertible Securities, if any, actually issued upon the exercise thereof were issued at the time of issue of such Options, and the consideration received by the Company for the Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been then issued was the consideration actually received by the Company for the issue of such exercised Options, plus the consideration deemed to have been received by the

------

Company (determined pursuant to Section 4(i)(v)) upon the issue of the Convertible Securities with respect to which such Options were actually exercised; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if such record date shall have been fixed and such Options or Convertible Securities are not issued on the date fixed therefor, the adjustment previously made in the Conversion Price which became effective on such record date shall be canceled as of the close of business on such record date, and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph 4(i)(iii) as of the actual date of their issuance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Adjustment of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares</u> <u>of Common Stock</u>**. In the event this Company shall issue Additional Shares of Common Stock (including Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to paragraph 4(i)(iii)) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price of a series of Preferred Stock in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then, the Conversion Price of the affected series of Preferred Stock shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of shares which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Conversion Price shall not be reduced at such time if the amount of such reduction would be less than $0.01, but any such amount shall be carried forward, and a reduction will be made with respect to such amount at the time of, and together with, any subsequent reduction which, together with such amount and any other amounts so carried forward, equal $0.01 or more in the aggregate. For the purposes of this Section 4(i)(iv), all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and the exercise and/or conversion of any other outstanding Convertible Securities and all outstanding Options shall be deemed to be outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Determination of Consideration</u>**. For purposes of this Section 4(i), the consideration received by the Company for the issue (or deemed issue) of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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, including the Series F Director; and

The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to paragraph 4(i)(iii) shall be determined by dividing

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company 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 Company 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(y)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Common Stock</u>**. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Common Stock after the Original Issue Date, the Conversion Price of each series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined (by Recapitalization or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Prices in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Adjustments for Subdivisions or Combinations of Preferred Stock</u>**. In the event the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or a series of Preferred Stock shall be subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise), into a greater number of shares of Preferred Stock after the Original Issue Date, the Dividend Rate, Original Issue Price, Conversion Price and Liquidation Preference of the affected series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately decreased. In the event the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or a series of Preferred Stock shall be combined (by Recapitalization or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of Preferred Stock, the Dividend Rate, Original Issue Price, Conversion Price and Liquidation Preference of the affected series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution</u>**. Subject to Section 3 ("**Liquidation Rights**"), if after the Original Issue Date the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, Recapitalization, consolidation, merger or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), then, in any such event, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive each holder of such Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such shares of Preferred Stock into a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such series of Preferred Stock immediately before that change would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization,

------

Recapitalization, consolidation or merger, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein with respect to such other shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions</u>**. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the 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 applicable 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 applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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, (i) 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 applicable Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (ii) that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of 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 Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions</u>**. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the 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 Company (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 <u>Section 2</u> do not apply to such dividend or distribution, then and in each such event the holders of 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 Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Certificate as to Adjustments</u>**. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 4, the Company at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the Preferred Stock is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the

------

number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of Preferred Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Waiver of Adjustment of Conversion Price</u>**. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any downward adjustment of the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock may be waived by the consent or vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such series either before or after the issuance causing the adjustment, *provided* that any downward adjustment of the Conversion Price of the Series F Preferred Stock or Series F-1 Preferred Stock may be waived only with the consent or vote of the Series F Requisite Holders. Any such waiver shall bind all future holders of shares of such series of Preferred Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(p)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Notices of Record Date</u>**. In the event that this Company shall propose at any time:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to declare any distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in cash, property, stock or other securities, whether or not a regular cash dividend and whether or not out of earnings or earned surplus;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to effect any Recapitalization of its Common Stock outstanding involving a change in the Common Stock; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to voluntarily liquidate or dissolve the Company, wind up the Company's affairs, or to enter into any Liquidation Event;

then, in connection with each such event, this Company shall send to the holders of the Preferred Stock prior written notice of the record date on which a record shall be taken for such distribution (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto and, if applicable, the amount and character of such distribution) or for determining rights to vote in respect of the matters referred to in (ii) and (iii) above, as well as the effective date on which such event detailed in (ii) and (iii) above is proposed to take place.

Such written notice shall be sent at least five (5) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice and shall be given by first class mail (or express courier), postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of Preferred Stock at the address for each such holder as shown on the books of the Company and shall be deemed given on the date such notice is mailed.

The notice provisions set forth in this section may be shortened or waived prospectively or retrospectively by the consent or vote of the Series F Requisite Holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(q)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Multiple Closing Dates</u>**. In the event the Company 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 applicable Conversion Price pursuant to the terms of Section 4(i)(iv) then, upon the final such issuance, the applicable 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)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(r)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion</u>**. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of

------

Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the 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 Preferred Stock, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, the Company will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Voting</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Restricted Class Voting</u>**. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, the holders of Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock shall vote together and not as separate classes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>No Series Voting</u>**. Other than as provided herein or required by law, there shall be no series voting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Preferred Stock</u>**. Each holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder could be converted as of the record date. The holders of shares of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters on which the Common Stock shall be entitled to vote. Holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders' meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights resulting from the above formula (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted), shall be disregarded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Election of Directors</u>**. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock, voting together as a single series, shall be entitled to elect two members of the Company's Board of Directors (the "**General Preferred Directors**") at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Company's stockholders for the election of directors, and to remove from office such directors and to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation, death or removal of such directors. The holders of Series F Preferred Stock and Series F-1 Preferred Stock, voting together as a single series, shall be entitled to elect one member of the Company's Board of Directors (the "**Series F Director**", and together with the General Preferred Directors, the "**Preferred Directors**") at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Company's stockholders for the election of directors, and to remove from office such directors and to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation, death or removal of such directors; *provided* that, for administrative convenience, the initial Series F Director may also be appointed by the Board of Directors in connection with the approval of the initial issuance of Series F Preferred Stock and Series F-1 Preferred Stock without a separate action by the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock or Series F-1 Preferred Stock. The holders of Common Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect two members of the Company's Board of Directors (the "**Common Director(s)**") at each meeting or pursuant to each consent of the Company's stockholders for the election of directors, and to remove from office such directors and to fill any vacancy caused by the resignation, death or removal of such directors; provided, however, that at such time as no Founder (as defined in that certain Amended and Restated Voting Agreement, dated on or about the date of this Restated Certificate, by and among the Company and the other parties thereto

------

(the "**Voting Agreement**")) is then providing services to the Company or any of its subsidiaries as an employee, following the resignation or removal of the Founder Director (as defined in the Voting Agreement), the number of Common Directors that the holders of Common Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect shall be reduced to one. Any additional members of the Company's Board of Directors shall be elected by the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class and on an as-converted basis. Any director elected as provided in this Section 5(d) 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 Common Stock or a series of Preferred Stock or, 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 this Section 5(d), then any directorship not so filled shall remain vacant until such time as the holders of the Common Stock or such series of Preferred 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 Company other than by the stockholders of the Company that are entitled to elect a person to fill such directorship, voting exclusively and as a separate class. 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 Section 5(d), a vacancy in any directorship filled by the holders of any class or classes or series shall be filled only by vote or written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of such class or classes or series or by any remaining director or directors elected by the holders of such class or classes or series pursuant to this Section 5(d).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Adjustment in Authorized Common Stock</u>**. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares of Common Stock 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 this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) an affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Company (on an as converted basis), irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Common Stock</u>***.* Each holder of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share thereof held.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As long as at least 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock shall be issued and outstanding (as adjusted for Recapitalizations), the Company shall not (whether by merger, recapitalization, consolidation or otherwise), without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent as provided by law) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class and on an as-converted basis:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company or Bylaws of the Company in a manner that adversely affects the powers, preferences or rights of the Preferred Stock;

**ARTICLE X**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, a director of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (an "**Indemnified Person**") who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "**Proceeding**"), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in ARTICLE X the Company shall be required to indemnify an Indemnified Person in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Indemnified Person only if the commencement of such Proceeding (or part thereof) by the Indemnified Person was authorized in advance by the Board of Directors.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company shall pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition, <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnified Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this ARTICLE X or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this ARTICLE X is not paid in full within thirty (30) days after a written claim therefor by the Indemnified Person has been received by the Company, the Indemnified Person may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Company shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The rights conferred on any person by this ARTICLE X shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Company, or any agreement, or pursuant to any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The Company's obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Neither any amendment nor repeal of this ARTICLE X, nor the adoption of any provision of this Company's Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this ARTICLE X, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this ARTICLE X, in respect of any matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising or that, but for this ARTICLE X, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

**ARTICLE XI**

Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the Bylaws may provide. The books of the Company may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the statutes) outside of the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the Bylaws of the Company.

**ARTICLE XII**

The Company renounces, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any Excluded Opportunity. An "**Excluded Opportunity**" is any matter, transaction or interest that is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or which otherwise comes into the possession of (i) any director of the Company who is not an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (ii) any holder of Preferred Stock or any partner, member, director, stockholder, employee, affiliate or agent of any such holder, other than someone who is an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, the persons referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) are "**Covered Persons**"), unless such matter, transaction or interest is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or otherwise comes into the possession of, a Covered Person expressly and solely in such Covered Person's capacity as a director of the Company. Any repeal or modification of this ARTICLE XII will only be prospective and will not affect the rights under this

------

ARTICLE XII in effect at the time of the occurrence of any actions or omissions to act giving rise to liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the Series F Requisite Holders, shall be required to amend or repeal, or to adopt any provisions inconsistent with this ARTICLE XII.

**ARTICLE XIII**

For purposes of Section 500 of the California Corporations Code (to the extent applicable), in connection with any repurchase of shares of Common Stock permitted under this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation from employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company in connection with a termination of employment or services pursuant to agreements or arrangements approved by the Board of Directors (in addition to any other consent required under this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation), such repurchase may be made without regard to any "preferential dividends arrears amount" or "preferential rights amount" (as those terms are defined in Section 500 of the California Corporations Code). Accordingly, for purposes of making any calculation under California Corporations Code Section 500 in connection with such repurchase, the amount of any "preferential dividends arrears amount" or "preferential rights amount" (as those terms are defined therein) shall be deemed to be zero (0).

of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an "**indemnitee**"), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending against any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this <u>Section 8.2</u> or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this <u>Section 8.2</u> shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section</u> <u>8.2(a)</u>, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)If a claim for indemnification under this <u>Section 8.2</u> (following the final disposition of such proceeding) is not paid in full within sixty days after the Corporation has received a claim therefor by the indemnitee, or if a claim for any advancement of expenses under this <u>Section 8.2</u> is not paid in full within thirty days after the Corporation has received a statement or statements requesting such amounts to be advanced, the indemnitee shall thereupon (but not before) be entitled to file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim. If successful in whole or in part, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any such action, the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by this <u>Section 8.2</u> shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under law, this Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Any repeal or amendment of this <u>Section 8.2</u> by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this <u>Section 8.2</u>, shall, unless otherwise

------

required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)This <u>Section 8.2</u> shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than indemnitees.

**ARTICLE IX.**

**AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION**

The Corporation reserves the right at any time and from time to time to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation), and other provisions authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware at the time in force that may be added or inserted, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by this Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL; and, except as set forth in <u>Article</u> <u>VIII</u>, all rights, preferences and privileges of whatever nature herein conferred upon stockholders, directors or any other persons by and pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation in its present form or as hereafter amended are granted subject to the right reserved in this <u>Article</u> <u>IX</u>. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or any other provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the stockholders of the Corporation to amend, alter or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, any of <u>Article V</u>, <u>Article VI</u>, <u>Article VII</u>, <u>Article VIII</u>, <u>Article X</u> and this sentence of this Certificate of Incorporation, or in each case, the definition of any capitalized terms used therein or any successor provision (including, without limitation, any such article or section as renumbered as a result of any amendment, alteration, repeal or adoption of any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation).

**ARTICLE X.**

**EXCLUSIVE FORUM FOR CERTAIN LAWSUITS**

Section 10.1<u>Forum</u>. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, the federal district court of the State of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the

------

Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation's stockholders, or any claim for aiding and abetting any such alleged breach, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the law of the State of Delaware.

Section 10.2<u>Federal Forum</u>. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

**ARTICLE XI.**

**SEVERABILITY**

If any provision or provisions (or any part thereof) of this Certificate of Incorporation shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and (ii) the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to permit the Corporation to protect its directors, officers, employees and agents from personal liability in respect of their good faith service or for the benefit of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law.

**AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS**

**ARTICLE I — MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Place of Meetings</u>**. Meetings of stockholders of Heartflow, Inc. (the "Company") shall be held at any place, within or outside the State of Delaware, determined by the Company's board of directors (the "Board"). The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders' meetings shall be held at the Company's principal executive office.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Annual Meeting</u>**. An annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors at such date and time as may be designated by resolution of the Board from time to time. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting. The Company shall not be required to hold an annual meeting of stockholders, *provided* that (i) the stockholders are permitted to act by written consent under the Company's certificate of incorporation and these Amended and Restated Bylaws ("Bylaws"), (ii) the stockholders take action by written consent to elect directors and (iii) the stockholders unanimously consent to such action or, if such consent is less than unanimous, all of the directorships to which directors could be elected at an annual meeting held at the effective time of such action are vacant and are filled by such action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Special Meeting</u>**. A special meeting of the stockholders may be called at any time by the Board, Chairperson of the Board, Chief Executive Officer or President (in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer) or by one or more stockholders holding shares in the aggregate entitled to cast not less than 10% of the votes at that meeting.

If any person(s) other than the Board calls a special meeting, the request shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;be in writing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;specify the time of such meeting and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by facsimile transmission to the Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President (in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer) or the Secretary of the Company.

The officer(s) receiving the request shall cause notice to be promptly given to the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, in accordance with these Bylaws, that a meeting will be held at the time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting. No business may be transacted at such special meeting other than the business specified in such notice to stockholders. Nothing contained in this paragraph of this Section 1.3 shall be construed as limiting, fixing, or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the Board may be held.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Notice of Stockholders' Meetings</u>**. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a

------

special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Except as otherwise provided in the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, the written notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Quorum</u>**. Except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, at each meeting of stockholders the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes which could be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or series or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter, except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws.

If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the chairperson of the meeting, or (ii) the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, in the manner provided in **section 1.6**, until a quorum is present or represented.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Adjourned Meeting; Notice</u>**. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Company may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Conduct of Business</u>**. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairperson of the Board, if any, or in his or her absence by the Vice Chairperson of the Board, if any, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by the Chief Executive Officer, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by the President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a Vice President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chairperson designated by the Board, or in the absence of such designation by a chairperson chosen at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence the chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting. The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Voting</u>**. The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.10 of these Bylaws, subject to Section 217 (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners of stock) and Section 218 (relating to voting trusts and other voting agreements) of the DGCL.

Except as may be otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder which has voting power upon the matter in question. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot and, unless otherwise required by law, need not be conducted by inspectors of election unless so determined by the holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes which

------

could be cast by the holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon which are present in person or by proxy at such meeting. If authorized by the Board, such requirement of a written ballot shall be satisfied by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission (as defined in Section 7.2 of these Bylaws), *provided* that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder or proxy holder.

Except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of such class or series or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class or series or classes or series, except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Stockholder Action by Written Consent Without a Meeting</u>**. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required by the DGCL to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of a corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

An electronic transmission (as defined in **section 7.2**) consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxy holder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxy holder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for purposes of this section, *provided* that any such electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Company can determine (i) that the electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxy holder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxy holder and (ii) the date on which such stockholder or proxy holder or authorized person or persons transmitted such electronic transmission.

In the event that the Board shall have instructed the officers of the Company to solicit the vote or written consent of the stockholders of the Company, an electronic transmission of a stockholder written consent given pursuant to such solicitation may be delivered to the Secretary or the President of the Company or to a person designated by the Secretary or the President. The Secretary or the President of the Company or a designee of the Secretary or the President shall cause any such written consent by electronic transmission to be reproduced in paper form and inserted into the corporate records.

Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Company as provided in Section 228 of the DGCL. In the event that the action which is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any provision of the DGCL, if such action had been voted on by stockholders at a meeting thereof, the certificate filed

------

under such provision shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such provision concerning any vote of stockholders, that written consent has been given in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Record Date for Stockholder Notice; Voting; Giving Consents</u>**. In order that the Company may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board and which record date:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or adjournment thereof, shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in the case of determination of stockholders for any other action, shall not be more than 60 days prior to such other action.

If no record date is fixed by the Board:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting when no prior action of the Board is required by law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Company in accordance with applicable law, or, if prior action by the Board is required by law, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution taking such prior action; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting, *provided* that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.11&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Proxies</u>**. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.12&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote</u>**. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Company shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Company shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, *provided* that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the Company's principal place of business. In the event that the Company determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Company may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Company. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

**ARTICLE II — DIRECTORS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Powers</u>**. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board, except as may be otherwise provided in the DGCL or the certificate of incorporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Number of Directors</u>**. The Board shall consist of one or more members, each of whom shall be a natural person. Unless the certificate of incorporation fixes the number of directors, the number of directors shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director's term of office expires.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Election, Qualification and Term of Office of Directors</u>**. Except as provided in Section 2.4 of these Bylaws, and subject to Sections 1.2 and 1.9 of these Bylaws, directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders. Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws. The certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws may prescribe other qualifications for directors. Each director shall hold office until such director's successor is elected and qualified or until such director's earlier death, resignation or removal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Resignation and Vacancies</u>**. Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the Company. A resignation is effective when the resignation is delivered unless the resignation specifies a later effective date or an effective date determined upon the happening of an event or events. A resignation which is conditioned upon the director failing to receive a specified vote for reelection as a director may provide that it is irrevocable. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, when one or more directors resign from the Board, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective.

------

Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Whenever the holders of any class or classes of stock or series thereof are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or classes or series may be filled by a majority of the directors elected by such class or classes or series thereof then in office, or by a sole remaining director so elected.

If at any time, by reason of death or resignation or other cause, the Company should have no directors in office, then any officer or any stockholder or an executor, administrator, trustee or guardian of a stockholder, or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate of a stockholder, may call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, or may apply to the Court of Chancery for a decree summarily ordering an election as provided in Section 211 of the DGCL.

If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office constitute less than a majority of the whole Board (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), the Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least 10% of the voting stock at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office as aforesaid, which election shall be governed by the provisions of Section 211 of the DGCL as far as applicable.

A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office and until such director's successor is elected and qualified, or until such director's earlier death, resignation or removal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Place of Meetings; Meetings by Telephone</u>**. The Board may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or outside the State of Delaware.

Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board, or any committee designated by the Board, may participate in a meeting of the Board, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Conduct of Business</u>**. Meetings of the Board shall be presided over by the Chairperson of the Board, if any, or in his or her absence by the Vice Chairperson of the Board, if any, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chairperson designated by the Board, or in the absence of such designation by a chairperson chosen at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence the chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Regular Meetings</u>**. Regular meetings of the Board may be held without notice at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the Board.

At all meetings of the Board, a majority of the total authorized number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for that meeting.

The vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws.

If the certificate of incorporation provides that one or more directors shall have more or less than one vote per director on any matter, every reference in these Bylaws to a majority or other proportion of directors shall refer to a majority or other proportion of the votes of the directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Board Action by Written Consent Without a Meeting</u>**. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

The Board may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Company. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board or in these Bylaws, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Company, and may authorize the seal of the Company to be affixed to all papers that may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority to (i) approve or adopt, or recommend to the stockholders, any action or matter (other than the election or removal of directors) expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders for approval, or (ii) adopt, amend or repeal any bylaw of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Committee Minutes</u>**. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board when required.

The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of *nolo contendere* or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Indemnification of Directors and Officers in Actions by or in the Right of the</u> <u>Company</u>**. Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, the Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or hereinafter in effect, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was a director or officer of the Company serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Successful Defense</u>**. To the extent that a present or former director or officer of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person

------

shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Indemnification of Others</u>**.

Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director of the Company in defending any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt of a written request therefor (together with documentation reasonably evidencing such expenses) and an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article V or the DGCL. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate. The right to advancement of expenses shall not apply to any claim for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to these Bylaws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Limitation on Indemnification</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for any reimbursement of the Company by such person of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by such person from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by such person of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;initiated by such person, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by such person against the Company or its directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (a) the Board authorized the Proceeding (or the relevant part of the Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (b) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law, (c) otherwise required to be made under Section 5.7 or (d) otherwise required by applicable law; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if prohibited by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Determination; Claim</u>**. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article V is not paid in full within 90 days after receipt by the Company of the written request

------

therefor, the claimant shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of expenses. The Company shall indemnify such person against any and all expenses that are incurred by such person in connection with any action for indemnification or advancement of expenses from the Company under this Article V**,** to the extent such person is successful in such action, and to the extent not prohibited by law. In any such suit, the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proving that the claimant is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Non-Exclusivity of Rights</u>**. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article V shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the certificate of incorporation or any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The Company is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advancement of expenses, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or other applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Insurance</u>**.

Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article V shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.

For purposes of this Article V, references to the "Company" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article V with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

**ARTICLE VI — STOCK**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Stock Certificates; Partly Paid Shares</u>**. The shares of the Company shall be represented by certificates, *provided* that the Board may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Company. Every holder of stock represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the Company by the Chairperson of the Board or Vice-Chairperson of the Board, or the President or a Vice-President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Company with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The Company shall not have power to issue a certificate in bearer form.

The Company may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid therefor. Upon the face or back of each stock certificate issued to represent any such partly paid shares, or upon the books and records of the Company in the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated. Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the Company shall declare a dividend upon partly paid shares of the same class, but only upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Special Designation on Certificates</u>**. If the Company is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the Company shall issue to represent such class or series of stock; *provided* that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the DGCL, in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate that the Company shall issue to represent such class or series of stock, a statement that the Company will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated stock, the Company shall send to the registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information required to be set forth or stated on certificates pursuant to this Section 6.2 or Sections 156, 202(a) or 218(a) of the DGCL or with respect to this Section 6.2 a statement that the Company will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated stock and the rights and obligations of the holders of certificates representing stock of the same class and series shall be identical.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Lost Certificates</u>**. Except as provided in this Section 6.3, no new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate unless the latter is surrendered to the Company and cancelled at the same time. The Company may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and

------

the Company may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner's legal representative, to give the Company a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Dividends</u>**. The Board, subject to any restrictions contained in the certificate of incorporation or applicable law, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of the Company's capital stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the Company's capital stock, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation.

The Board may set apart out of any of the funds of the Company available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Stock Transfer Agreements</u>**. The Company shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes of stock of the Company to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the Company of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the DGCL.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Registered Stockholders</u>**. The Company:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shall be entitled to hold liable for calls and assessments the person registered on its books as the owner of shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of another person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Transfers</u>**. Transfers of record of shares of stock of the Company shall be made only upon its books by the holders thereof, in person or by an attorney duly authorized, and, if such stock is certificated, upon the surrender of a certificate or certificates for a like number of shares, properly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer.

**ARTICLE VII — MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE AND WAIVER**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Notice of Stockholder Meetings</u>**. Notice of any meeting of stockholders, if mailed, is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder's address as it appears on the Company's records. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Company that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be *prima facie* evidence of the facts stated therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Notice by Electronic Transmission</u>**. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders pursuant to the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, any notice to stockholders given by the Company under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission

------

consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Company. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Company is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Company in accordance with such consent; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice.

However, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Company that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be *prima facie* evidence of the facts stated therein.

An "electronic transmission" means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved, and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

Notice by a form of electronic transmission shall not apply to Sections 164, 296, 311, 312 or 324 of the DGCL.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Notice to Stockholders Sharing an Address</u>**. Except as otherwise prohibited under the DGCL, without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Company under the provisions of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Company. Any stockholder who fails to object in writing to the Company, within 60 days of having been given written notice by the Company of its intention to send the single notice, shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Notice to Person with Whom Communication is Unlawful</u>**. Whenever notice is required to be given, under the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, to any person with

------

whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the Company is such as to require the filing of a certificate under the DGCL, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Waiver of Notice</u>**. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws.

**ARTICLE VIII — GENERAL MATTERS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Fiscal Year</u>**. The fiscal year of the Company shall be fixed by resolution of the Board and may be changed by the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Seal</u>**. The Company may adopt a corporate seal, which shall be in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Board. The Company may use the corporate seal by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any other manner reproduced.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Annual Report</u>**. The Company shall cause an annual report to be sent to the stockholders of the Company to the extent required by applicable law. If and so long as there are fewer than 100 holders of record of the Company's shares, the requirement of sending an annual report to the stockholders of the Company is expressly waived (to the extent permitted under applicable law).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Construction; Definitions</u>**. Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction, and definitions in the DGCL shall govern the construction of these Bylaws. Without limiting the generality of this provision, the singular number includes the plural, the plural number includes the singular, and the term "person" includes both a corporation and a natural person.

**ARTICLE IX — AMENDMENTS**

These Bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the stockholders entitled to vote. However, the Company may, in its certificate of incorporation, confer the power to adopt, amend or repeal these Bylaws upon the directors. The fact that such power has been so conferred upon the directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power, nor limit their power to adopt, amend or repeal these Bylaws.

------

An amendment to these Bylaws adopted by the stockholders entitled to vote which specifies the votes that shall be necessary for the election of directors shall not be further amended or repealed by the Board.

**HEARTFLOW, INC.**

**(THE "CORPORATION")**

**ARTICLE I.**

**OFFICES**

Section 1.1.<u>Registered Office</u>. The registered office of the Corporation within the State of Delaware shall be as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the "**Certificate of Incorporation**").

Section 1.2.<u>Additional Offices</u>. The Corporation may, in addition to its registered office in the State of Delaware, have such other offices and places of business, both within and outside the State of Delaware, as the board of directors of the Corporation (the "**Board**") may from time to time determine or as the business and affairs of the Corporation may require.

**ARTICLE II.**

**STOCKHOLDERS MEETINGS**

Section 2.1.<u>Annual Meetings</u>. The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held at such place, if any, either within or without the State of Delaware, and time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board (or, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any committee of the Board or other person(s) authorized by the Board) and stated in the notice of the meeting; provided that the Board may in its sole discretion determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 8.5(a). At each annual meeting, the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters shall elect directors and may transact any other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

Section 2.2.<u>Special Meetings</u>. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock of the Corporation ("**Preferred Stock**"), and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called only by the (i) Chair of the Board, (ii) the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or (iii) the Secretary of the Corporation (the "**Secretary**") at the direction of the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, and may not be called by any other person. Special meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, if any, either within or without the State of Delaware, and at such time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board (or, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any committee of the Board or other person(s) authorized by the Board) and stated in the Corporation's notice of the meeting; provided that the Board may in its sole discretion determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 8.5(a).

Section 2.3.<u>Notices</u>. Notice of each stockholders meeting stating the place, if any, date, and time of the meeting, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting and the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date

------

is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, shall be given in the manner permitted by Section 8.3 to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, by the Corporation not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting unless otherwise required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "**DGCL**"). If said notice is for a special meeting, it shall in addition state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, and the business transacted at such meeting shall be limited to the matters so stated in the Corporation's notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto). Any meeting of stockholders as to which notice has been given may be postponed or rescheduled, and any meeting of stockholders as to which notice has been given may be cancelled, by the Board.

Section 2.4.<u>Quorum</u>. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy, at a stockholders meeting of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting, except that when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock voting as a class, the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such business. If a quorum shall not be present or represented by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, the chair of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 2.6 until a quorum shall attend. The stockholders present at a duly convened meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or any such other corporation to vote shares held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

Section 2.5.<u>Voting of Shares</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Voting Lists</u>. The Corporation shall prepare, no later than the tenth day before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders of record entitled to vote at such meeting; provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address and the number and class of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing contained in this Section 2.5(a) shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of ten days ending on the day before the meeting (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network (provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting) or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an

------

electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list required by this Section 2.5(a) or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)<u>Manner of Voting</u>. At any stockholders meeting, every stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy. The Board, in its discretion, or the chair of the meeting of stockholders, in such person's discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)<u>Proxies</u>. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy, either of the following shall constitute a valid means by which a stockholder may grant such authority. No stockholder shall have cumulative voting rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)A stockholder, or such stockholder's authorized officer, director, employee or agent may execute a document authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of an electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission; provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)The authorization of a person to act as a proxy may be documented, signed and delivered in accordance with Section 116 of the DGCL, provided that such authorization shall set forth, or be delivered with information enabling the Corporation to determine, the identity of the stockholder granting such authorization. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the document (including any electronic transmission) created pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) may be substituted or used in lieu of the original document for any and all purposes for which the original document could be used; provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)<u>Required Vote</u>. Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of one or more series of Preferred Stock, at all meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, the election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. All other matters presented to the stockholders at a meeting at which a quorum is

------

present shall be determined by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast for or against such matter, unless the matter is one upon which, by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or applicable stock exchange rules, a different vote is required, in which case such provision shall govern and control the decision of such matter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)<u>Inspectors of Election</u>. The Board may, and shall if required by law, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, designate one or more persons as inspectors of election, who may be employees of the Corporation or otherwise serve the Corporation in other capacities, to act at such meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The Board may appoint one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspectors of election or alternates are appointed by the Board, the chair of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall ascertain and report the number of outstanding shares and the voting power of each; determine the number of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots; count all votes and ballots and report the results; determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors; and certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election. Each report of an inspector shall be in writing and signed by the inspector or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors.

Section 2.6.<u>Adjournments</u>. At any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, if less than a quorum is present, the chair of the meeting or the stockholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast for or against such matter, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time. If a quorum is present, any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be adjourned by the chair of the meeting or by the stockholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast for or against such matter (including to address a technical failure to convene or continue a meeting using remote communication), and no notice of the adjourned meeting shall be required to be given if the time and place, if any, thereof and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed present in person and may vote at such meeting are (i) announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, (ii) displayed, during the time scheduled for the meeting, on the same electronic network used to enable stockholders and proxyholders to participate in the meeting by means of remote communication or (iii) set forth in the notice of meeting given in accordance with Section 2.3. Any business may be transacted at the adjourned meeting that might have been transacted at the meeting originally noticed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting and (ii) if after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders

------

entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

Section 2.7.<u>Advance Notice for Business</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)<u>Annual Meetings of Stockholders</u>.

In the event a special meeting of stockholders is duly called for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board, any such stockholder entitled to vote in such election of directors may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation's notice of meeting, if the stockholder's notice required by paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.7 shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the one hundred twentieth (120<sup>th</sup>) day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90<sup>th</sup>) day prior to such special meeting or the tenth (10<sup>th</sup>) day following the day on which the Corporation first makes a public announcement of the date of the special meeting at which directors are to be elected. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment, recess or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder's notice as described above.

Nothing in this Section 2.7 shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals other than nominations in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**"Direct Listing" shall mean the initial listing of shares of the Common Stock on a national securities exchange by means of a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") (or any successor registration form under the Act subsequently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission that registers shares of existing capital stock of the Company for resale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**"Exercise Price" shall mean $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5.1 below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EXERCISE OF WARRANT.** The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in full or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, subject to the Company having a sufficient number of authorized shares of its Common Stock, by delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth above (or at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**An executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Payment of the Exercise Price either (i) in cash or by check, or (ii) via net exercise in accordance with Section 2.2 below; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**This Warrant.

Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Exercise Shares so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder or persons affiliated with the Holder, if the Holder so designates (along with a replacement warrant reflecting the balance of the Exercise Shares), shall be issued and delivered to the Holder or such designee within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Exercise Shares for which this Warrant remains exercisable.

The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net Exercise**. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the fair market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may

2. ------

elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

X = <u>Y (A-B)</u>

A

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Where | X = | the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder |
| | Y = | the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation) |
| | A = | the fair market value of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such calculation) |
| | B = | Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation) |

---

For purposes of the above calculation and determining the fair market value of one share of Common Stock, if the Common Stock is then traded or quoted on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market (a "Trading Market"), the fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of Common Stock reported for the business day immediately before the date on which the Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Common Stock is not traded in a Trading Market, the fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall be determined by the Company's Board of Directors in good faith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Covenants as to Exercise Shares.** The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will, prior to the time this Warrant is exercised by the Holder, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its share capital to allow for the issuance of such number of shares of Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notices of Record Date.** In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified herein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.

3. ------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;REPRESENTATIONS OF HOLDER.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Acquisition of Warrant for Personal Account.** The Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and the Exercise Shares for its account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or distribution of said Warrant or Exercise Shares or any part thereof. Holder has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring this Warrant or the Exercise Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Securities Are Not Registered.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**The Holder understands that this Warrant and the Exercise Shares have not been registered under the Act on the basis that no distribution or public offering of the stock of the Company is to be effected. The Holder realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, the Holder has a present intention of acquiring the securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the securities. The Holder has no such present intention.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**The Holder recognizes that this Warrant and the Exercise Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available.

Holder is aware that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the Company presently has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accredited Investor Status**. The Holder is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Act. The Holder is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision regarding its investment in the Company. The Holder is experienced in making investments of this type and has such knowledge and background in financial and business matters that the Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment and protecting the Holder's own interests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Foreign Investors.** If the Holder is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")), the Holder hereby represents that he, she or it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of the Holder's jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Note, including (a) the legal requirements within the Holder's jurisdiction for the purchase of this Warrant and the Exercise Shares, (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (c) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of this Warrant and the Exercise Shares. The Holder's subscription, payment for and continued beneficial ownership of this Warrant and the Exercise Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Holder's jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No "Bad Actor" Disqualification.** The Holder represents and warrants that neither (a) the Holder nor (b) any entity that controls the Holder or is under the control of, or under common control with, the Holder, is subject to any of the "bad actor" disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) through (viii), as modified by Rules 506(d)(2) and (d)(3), under the Act ("Disqualification Events"), except for Disqualification Events covered by Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) under the Act and disclosed in writing in reasonable detail to the Company. The Holder represents that the Holder has exercised reasonable care to determine the accuracy of the representation made by the Holder in this Section 4.5 and agrees to notify the Company if the Holder becomes aware of any fact that makes the representation given by the Holder hereunder inaccurate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Forward-Looking Statements**. With respect to any forecasts, projections of results and other forward-looking statements and information provided to the Holder, the Holder acknowledges that such statements were prepared based upon assumptions deemed reasonable by the Company at the time of preparation. There is no assurance that such statements will prove accurate, and the Company has no obligation to update such statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Disposition of Warrant and Exercise Shares.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of this Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event unless and until:

THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCK-UP PERIOD IN THE EVENT OF A PUBLIC OFFERING AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENT FOR CERTAIN EVENTS.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and class of shares available under this Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of this Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had this Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment; provided, however, that such adjustment shall not be made with respect to, and this Warrant shall terminate if not exercised prior to, the events set forth in Section 7 below. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**If, upon the first issuance of Next Round Securities in the Next Round (the "Next Round Issuance") this Warrant is then currently exercisable in whole or in part and the Next Round Price is less than $25.3317 per share (as adjusted for any stock splits, recapitalizations and the like), the number of Exercise Shares shall be increased to equal the quotient obtained by dividing (a) $8,000,000 by (b) the Next Round Price (subject to adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1 of this Warrant), net of any Exercise Shares issued prior to the Next Round Issuance. As used herein "Next Round" means, at any time prior to the consummation of an IPO or Direct Listing, the first sale or issuance by the Company on or after the original issue date of this Warrant, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of shares of its convertible preferred stock or other senior equity securities to one or more investors for at least $5 million in gross cash proceeds; "Next Round Securities" means the type, class and series of convertible preferred stock or other senior equity security sold or issued by the Company in the Next Round; and "Next Round Price" means the price per share paid in cash by purchasers of Next Round Securities issued in the Next Round. For example, if the Company issues Next Round Securities at a Next Round Price of $20.00 and the Warrant is then currently outstanding in whole, the number of Exercise Shares shall be increased from 315,810 to 400,000 ($8,000,000 / $20 = 400,000). In the event this Warrant has been exercised in part prior to the Next Round, the increase in the number of Exercise Shares shall be reduced by the number of Exercise Shares previously issued upon partial exercise of this Warrant. No more than one adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 5.2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FRACTIONAL SHARES.** No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of an Exercise Share by such fraction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TREATMENT OF WARRANT UPON CERTAIN EVENTS.**

6. ------

Public Acquisition, and Holder has not exercised this Warrant as to all Exercise Shares, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be net exercised pursuant to Section 2.2 above as to all Exercise Shares effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of a Cash/Public Acquisition. In connection with such net exercise, Holder shall be deemed to have restated each of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of this Warrant as of the date thereof and the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of the number of Exercise Shares (or such other securities) issued upon exercise. In the event of a Cash/Public Acquisition where the fair market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock as determined in accordance with Section 2.2 above would be less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, then this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Cash/Public Acquisition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**The Company shall provide the Holder with written notice of a Change of Control Transaction (together with such reasonable information as the Holder may reasonably require regarding the treatment of this Warrant in connection with such contemplated Change of Control Transaction giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to the Holder not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the closing of the proposed Change of Control Transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**As used in this Warrant, "Marketable Securities" means securities meeting all of the following requirements: (a) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Act and the Exchange Act; (b) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by the Holder in connection with the Cash/Public Acquisition were the Holder to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded on a Trading Market, and (c) Holder would be able to publicly re-sell, within six (6) months following the closing of such Acquisition, all of the issuer's shares and/or other securities that would be received by the Holder in such Cash/Public Acquisition were Holder to exercise this Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of such Cash/Public Acquisition.

To the extent this Warrant is not previously exercised, and if the fair market value of one Warrant share is greater than the Exercise Price, as adjusted, on the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof (even if not surrendered) immediately prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date (unless the Expiration Date is not a Business Day, in which case, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date). To the extent this Warrant is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 7, the Company agrees to notify the Holder within a reasonable period of time of the number of Warrant shares the Holder is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise.

Holder agrees that any transferee of this Warrant (or other securities of the Company held by Holder) shall be bound by this Section 8 as a condition to the transfer. The underwriters of the Company's stock are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 8 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TRANSFER OF WARRANT.** Subject to applicable laws and the restriction on transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant (including without limitation, delivery of a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Company), this Warrant is transferable, in whole or in part, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney to (a) any affiliate (including related funds) of Holder, or (b) subject to the Company's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, a person not affiliated with the Holder, in each case, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto to the transferee designated by Holder. In the event of a non-affiliate transfer, the information rights set forth in Section 10 above shall automatically terminate.

Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NOTICES, ETC.** All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed email or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**"Direct Listing" shall mean the initial listing of shares of the Common Stock on a national securities exchange by means of a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") (or any successor registration form under the Act subsequently adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission that registers shares of existing capital stock of the Company for resale.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**"Exercise Price" shall mean $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5.1 below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EXERCISE OF WARRANT.** The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in full or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, subject to the Company having a sufficient number of authorized shares of its Common Stock, by delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth above (or at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**An executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Payment of the Exercise Price either (i) in cash or by check, or (ii) via net exercise in accordance with Section 2.2 below; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**This Warrant.

Upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, a certificate or certificates for the Exercise Shares so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder or persons affiliated with the Holder, if the Holder so designates (along with a replacement warrant reflecting the balance of the Exercise Shares), shall be issued and delivered to the Holder or such designee within a reasonable time after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Exercise Shares for which this Warrant remains exercisable.

The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net Exercise**. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if the fair market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may

2. ------

elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

X = <u>Y (A-B)</u>

A

Where&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;X =&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder

Y =&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation)

A =&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the fair market value of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)

B =&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

For purposes of the above calculation and determining the fair market value of one share of Common Stock, if the Common Stock is then traded or quoted on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market (a "Trading Market"), the fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of Common Stock reported for the Business Day immediately before the date on which the Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Common Stock is not traded in a Trading Market, the fair market value of one share of Common Stock shall be determined by the Company's Board of Directors in good faith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Covenants as to Exercise Shares.** The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will, prior to the time this Warrant is exercised by the Holder, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. If the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its share capital to allow for the issuance of such number of shares of Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notices of Record Date.** In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend which is the same as cash dividends paid in previous quarters) or other distribution, the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified herein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution.

3. ------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;REPRESENTATIONS OF HOLDER.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Acquisition of Warrant for Personal Account.** The Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and the Exercise Shares for its account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or distribution of said Warrant or Exercise Shares or any part thereof. Holder has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring this Warrant or the Exercise Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Securities Are Not Registered.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**The Holder understands that this Warrant and the Exercise Shares have not been registered under the Act on the basis that no distribution or public offering of the stock of the Company is to be effected. The Holder realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, the Holder has a present intention of acquiring the securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the securities. The Holder has no such present intention.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**The Holder recognizes that this Warrant and the Exercise Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder recognizes that the Company has no obligation to register this Warrant or the Exercise Shares of the Company, or to comply with any exemption from such registration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**The Holder is aware that neither this Warrant nor the Exercise Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Act unless certain conditions are met, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three month period not exceeding specified limitations. Holder is aware that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the Company presently has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accredited Investor Status**. The Holder is an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Act. The Holder is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision regarding its investment in the Company. The Holder is experienced in making investments of this type and has such knowledge and background in financial and business matters that the Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment and protecting the Holder's own interests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Foreign Investors.** If the Holder is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")), the Holder hereby represents that he, she or it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of the Holder's jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Note, including (a) the legal requirements within the Holder's jurisdiction for the purchase of this Warrant and the Exercise Shares, (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (c) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of this Warrant and the Exercise Shares. The Holder's subscription, payment for and continued beneficial ownership of this Warrant and the Exercise Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Holder's jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No "Bad Actor" Disqualification.** The Holder represents and warrants that neither (a) the Holder nor (b) any entity that controls the Holder or is under the control of, or under common control with, the Holder, is subject to any of the "bad actor" disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) through (viii), as modified by Rules 506(d)(2) and (d)(3), under the Act ("Disqualification Events"), except for Disqualification Events covered by Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) under the Act and disclosed in writing in reasonable detail to the Company. The Holder represents that the Holder has exercised reasonable care to determine the accuracy of the representation made by the Holder in this Section 4.5 and agrees to notify the Company if the Holder becomes aware of any fact that makes the representation given by the Holder hereunder inaccurate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Forward-Looking Statements**. With respect to any forecasts, projections of results and other forward-looking statements and information provided to the Holder, the Holder acknowledges that such statements were prepared based upon assumptions deemed reasonable by the Company at the time of preparation. There is no assurance that such statements will prove accurate, and the Company has no obligation to update such statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Disposition of Warrant and Exercise Shares.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of this Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event unless and until:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**The Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Warrant or Exercise Shares under the Act or any applicable state securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing Exercise Shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the following legend:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCK-UP PERIOD IN THE EVENT OF A PUBLIC OFFERING AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENT FOR CERTAIN EVENTS.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of

5. ------

shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and class of shares available under this Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of this Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had this Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment; provided, however, that such adjustment shall not be made with respect to, and this Warrant shall terminate if not exercised prior to, the events set forth in Section 7 below. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**If, upon the first issuance of Next Round Securities in the Next Round (the "Next Round Issuance") this Warrant is then currently exercisable in whole or in part and the Next Round Price is less than $25.3317 per share (as adjusted for any stock splits, recapitalizations and the like), the number of Exercise Shares shall be increased to equal the quotient obtained by dividing (a) $5,714,300 by (b) the Next Round Price (subject to adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1 of this Warrant), net of any Exercise Shares issued prior to the Next Round Issuance. As used herein "Next Round" means, at any time prior to the consummation of an IPO or Direct Listing, the first sale or issuance by the Company on or after the original issue date of this Warrant, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of shares of its convertible preferred stock or other senior equity securities to one or more investors for at least $5 million in gross cash proceeds; "Next Round Securities" means the type, class and series of convertible preferred stock or other senior equity security sold or issued by the Company in the Next Round; and "Next Round Price" means the price per share paid in cash by purchasers of Next Round Securities issued in the Next Round. For example, if the Company issues Next Round Securities at a Next Round Price of $20.00 and the Warrant is then currently outstanding in whole, the number of Exercise Shares shall be increased from 225,579 to 285,715 ($5,714,300 / $20 = 285,715). In the event this Warrant has been exercised in part prior to the Next Round, the increase in the number of Exercise Shares shall be reduced by the number of Exercise Shares previously issued upon partial exercise of this Warrant. No more than one adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 5.2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FRACTIONAL SHARES.** No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of an Exercise Share by such fraction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TREATMENT OF WARRANT UPON CERTAIN EVENTS.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Upon a Change of Control Transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**In the event of a Change of Control Transaction in which the consideration to be received by the Company's stockholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a "Cash/Public Acquisition"), and the fair market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock as determined in accordance with Section 2.2 above would be greater than the Exercise Price in effect on such date immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, and Holder has not exercised this Warrant as to all Exercise Shares, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be net exercised pursuant to Section 2.2 above as to all Exercise Shares effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of a Cash/Public Acquisition. In connection with such net exercise, Holder shall be deemed to have restated each of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of this Warrant as of the date thereof and the Company shall

6. ------

promptly notify the Holder of the number of Exercise Shares (or such other securities) issued upon exercise. In the event of a Cash/Public Acquisition where the fair market value of one share of the Company's Common Stock as determined in accordance with Section 2.2 above would be less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Cash/Public Acquisition, then this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Cash/Public Acquisition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**The Company shall provide the Holder with written notice of a Change of Control Transaction (together with such reasonable information as the Holder may reasonably require regarding the treatment of this Warrant in connection with such contemplated Change of Control Transaction giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to the Holder not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the closing of the proposed Change of Control Transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Upon the closing of any Change of Control Transaction other than a Cash/Public Acquisition defined above, the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the same securities and/or other property as would have been paid for the Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Exercise Shares were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Change in Control Transaction, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**As used in this Warrant, "Marketable Securities" means securities meeting all of the following requirements: (a) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the Act and the Exchange Act; (b) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by the Holder in connection with the Cash/Public Acquisition were the Holder to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded on a Trading Market, and (c) Holder would be able to publicly re-sell, within six (6) months following the closing of such Acquisition, all of the issuer's shares and/or other securities that would be received by the Holder in such Cash/Public Acquisition were Holder to exercise this Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of such Cash/Public Acquisition.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Automatic Exercise at Expiration. To the extent this Warrant is not previously exercised, and if the fair market value of one Warrant share is greater than the Exercise Price, as adjusted, on the Expiration Date, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof (even if not surrendered) immediately prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date (unless the Expiration Date is not a Business Day, in which case, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Expiration Date). To the extent this Warrant is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 7, the Company agrees to notify the Holder within a reasonable period of time of the number of Warrant shares the Holder is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise. The Company shall not be required to deliver any certificates evidencing any Exercise Shares issuable upon such automatic exercise unless and until the Company has received the original of this Warrant (or an affidavit reasonably satisfactory to the Company that this Warrant has been lost, stolen or destroyed).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MARKET STAND-OFF AGREEMENT.** Holder hereby agrees that Holder shall not sell, dispose of, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any shares of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by Holder (other than those included in the registration) during the 180-day period following the effective date of the IPO or Direct Listing (or such longer period as the underwriters or the Company shall request in order to facilitate compliance with FINRA Rule 2711 or NYSE Member Rule 472 or any successor or similar rule or regulation). Holder further agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the managing

7. ------

underwriters that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, Holder shall provide, within ten (10) days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company's securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Act. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to such Common Stock (or other securities) until the end of such period. Holder agrees that any transferee of this Warrant (or other securities of the Company held by Holder) shall be bound by this Section 8 as a condition to the transfer. The underwriters of the Company's stock are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 8 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS.** This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;INFORMATION AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Subject to Holder's entering into a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, the Company will furnish the following reports to Holder so long as this Warrant remains exercisable: (a) as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries, as at the end of such fiscal year, and unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries for such year (the "Fiscal Year Financials"), prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, with audited Fiscal Year Financials to be provided when available; (b) as soon as practicable after the end of the first, second and third quarterly accounting periods in each fiscal year of the Company, an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the end of such fiscal quarter, and unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries for such quarterly period, prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied; and (c) when available, a financial plan and budget for the then current fiscal year. The information rights granted under this Section 10 shall automatically terminate in the event of a Cash/Public Acquisition, an IPO or a Direct Listing and are not transferable to any person not affiliated with the Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**10.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**The Exercise Shares shall be "Registrable Securities" as such term is defined in the Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement, dated as of November 20, 2017 (as amended from time to time, the "Rights Agreement") for purposes of Sections 2.1 and 2.2 thereof, and Holder shall have the same rights as, and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions set forth in, Sections 2.1 (Requested Registration) and 2.2 (Company Registration) of the Rights Agreement as a "Holder" thereunder, provided that none of the Exercise Shares shall be counted when determining the Initiating Holders (as defined in the Rights Agreement). Holder shall execute and deliver a joinder to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of the Rights Agreement following the exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of the foregoing, including, without limitation, amending the Rights Agreement to include the Exercise Shares as Registrable Securities under the Rights Agreement, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TRANSFER OF WARRANT.** Subject to applicable laws and the restriction on transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant (including without limitation, delivery of a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Company), this Warrant is transferable, in whole or in part, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney to (a) any affiliate (including related funds) of Holder, or (b) subject to the Company's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, a person not affiliated with the Holder, in each case, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto to the transferee

8. ------

designated by Holder. In the event of a non-affiliate transfer, the information rights set forth in Section 10 above shall automatically terminate. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company for the purpose of providing the representations and warranties in Section 4 hereof. Upon any such transfer the Company shall issue within a reasonable period of time, an appropriate warrant to the transferee(s).

Holder shall reimburse the Company's reasonable out of pocket costs and fees (including the Company's legal fees) for any transfers of this Warrant occurring after the original issue date of this Warrant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT.** If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NOTICES, ETC.** All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed email or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next Business Day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.

**SECTION 2**

<u>REGISTRATION RIGHTS</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Demand Registration</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Form S-1 Demand</u>**. If at any time after the earlier of (i) five (5) years after the date of this Agreement or (ii) one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of the registration statement for the Initial Public Offering, the Company receives a request from Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Form S-1 registration statement with respect to at least forty percent (40%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, then the Company shall: (x) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give notice thereof (the "**Demand Notice**") to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and (y) as soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-1 registration statement

------

under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Holders requested to be registered and any additional Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of <u>Sections 2.1(c)</u> and <u>2.3.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Form S-3 Demand</u>**. If at any time when it is eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement, the Company receives a request from Holders of at least thirty percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Form S-3 registration statement with respect to outstanding Registrable Securities of such Holders having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, of at least $10,000,000, then the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give a Demand Notice to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and (ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-3 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of <u>Sections 2.1(c)</u> and <u>2.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to Holders requesting a registration pursuant to this <u>Section 2.1</u> a certificate signed by the Company's chief executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "**Board of Directors**") it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing, for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the request of the Initiating Holders is given; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Company may not invoke this right more than twice in any twelve (12) month period; and <u>provided</u> <u>further</u> that the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other stockholder during such one hundred twenty (120) day period, other than an Excluded Registration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(a)</u>, (i) during the period that is sixty (60) days before the Company's good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, <u>provided</u> that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; (ii) after the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(a)</u>; or (iii) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(b)</u>. The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take

------

any action to effect, any registration pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(b)</u>, (i) during the period that is thirty (30) days before the Company's good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date that is ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration, <u>provided</u> that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or (ii) if the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(b)</u> within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of such request. A registration shall not be counted as "effected" for purposes of this <u>Section 2.1(d)</u> until such time as the applicable registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC, unless the Initiating Holders withdraw their request for such registration, elect not to pay the registration expenses therefor, and forfeit their right to one demand registration statement pursuant to <u>Section 2.6</u>, in which case such withdrawn registration statement shall be counted as "effected" for purposes of this <u>Section 2.1(d)</u>; <u>provided</u>, that if such withdrawal is during a period the Company has deferred taking action pursuant to <u>Section 2.1(c)</u>, then the Initiating Holders may withdraw their request for registration and such registration will not be counted as "effected" for purposes of this <u>Section 2.1(d)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Company Registration</u>**. If the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration, a registration relating to a demand pursuant to <u>Section 2.1</u> or the Initial Public Offering), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder notice of such registration. Upon the request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of <u>Section 2.3</u>, cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be included in such registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this <u>Section 2.2</u> before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with <u>Section 2.6.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Underwriting Requirements</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If, pursuant to <u>Section 2.1</u>, the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to <u>Section 2.1</u>, and the Company shall include such information in the Demand Notice. The underwriter(s) will be selected by the Board of Directors and shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders. In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder's Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in <u>Section 2.4(e)</u>) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting; provided, however, that no Holder (or any of their assignees) shall be required to make any representations, warranties or indemnities except as they relate to such Holder's ownership of shares and

------

authority to enter into the underwriting agreement and to such Holder's intended method of distribution, and the liability of such Holder shall be several and not joint, and limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding any other provision of this <u>Section 2.3</u>, if the managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that otherwise would be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among such Holders of Registrable Securities, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company's capital stock pursuant to <u>Section 2.2</u>, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Holders' Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless the Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the number of securities to be sold (other than by the Company) that the underwriters in their reasonable discretion determine is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine will not jeopardize the success of the offering. If the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be allocated among the selling Holders in proportion (as nearly as practicable to) the number of Registrable Securities owned by each selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced unless all other securities (other than securities to be sold by the Company) are first entirely excluded from the offering, or (ii) the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the total number of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the Initial Public Offering, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded further if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder's securities are included in such offering. For purposes of the provision in this <u>Section 2.3(b)</u> concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners, retired members, stockholders, and affiliates of such Holder, or the estates and Immediate Family Members of any such partners, retired partners, members, and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single "selling Holder," and any pro rata reduction with respect to such "selling Holder"

------

shall be based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned by all Persons included in such "selling Holder," as defined in this sentence.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For purposes of <u>Section 2.1</u>, a registration shall not be counted as "effected" if, as a result of an exercise of the underwriter's cutback provisions in <u>Section 2.3(a)</u>, fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Obligations of the Company</u>**. Whenever required under this <u>Section 2</u> to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed; provided, however, that (i) such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains, at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, from selling any securities included in such registration, and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 that are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance with applicable SEC rules, such one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended for up to an additional one hundred twenty (120) days, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement, and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, as may be necessary to comply with the Securities Act in order to enable the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;furnish to the selling Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, as required by the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate their disposition of their Registrable Securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue-sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the selling Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the underwriter(s) of such offering;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;promptly make available for inspection by the selling Holders, any managing underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the selling Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents, and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent, in each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such registration statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;notify each selling Holder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;after such registration statement becomes effective, notify each selling Holder of any request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus.

In addition, the Company shall ensure that, at all times after any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, its insider trading policy shall provide that the Company's directors may implement a trading program under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Furnish Information</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this <u>Section 2</u> with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder's Registrable Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Expenses of Registration</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All Registration Expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with registrations, filings, or qualifications pursuant to <u>Section 2</u>, including all registration, filing, and qualification fees; printers' and accounting fees; fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; and the reasonable fees and disbursements, not to exceed $100,000, of one counsel for the selling Holders selected by Holders of a majority of the Registrable

------

Securities to be registered ("**Selling Holder Counsel**"), shall be borne and paid by the Company; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to <u>Section 2.1</u> if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all selling Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to <u>Sections 2.1(a)</u> or <u>2.1(b)</u>, as the case may be; <u>provided</u> <u>further</u> that if, at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders shall have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness after learning of such information then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall not forfeit their right to one registration pursuant to <u>Sections 2.1(a)</u> or <u>2.1(b</u>). All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 2 (other than fees and disbursements of counsel to any Holder, other than the Selling Holder Counsel, which shall be borne solely by the Holder engaging such counsel) shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Delay of Registration</u>**. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this <u>Section 2</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Indemnification</u>**. If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this <u>Section 2</u>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder, and the partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders of each such Holder; legal counsel and accountants for each such Holder; any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each such Holder; and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Damages, and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the indemnity agreement contained in this <u>Section 2.8(a)</u> shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls the

------

Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement, and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such selling Holder will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the indemnity agreement contained in this <u>Section 2.8(b)</u> shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and <u>provided</u> <u>further</u> that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any Holder by way of indemnity or contribution under <u>Section 2.8(b)</u> and <u>2.8(d)</u> exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this <u>Section 2.8</u> of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this <u>Section 2.8</u>, give the indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this <u>Section 2.8</u>, only to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party's ability to defend such action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this <u>Section 2.8</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either: (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this <u>Section 2.8</u> but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this <u>Section 2.8</u> provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this <u>Section 2.8</u>, then, and in

------

each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that, in any such case (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and <u>provided</u> <u>further</u> that in no event shall a Holder's liability pursuant to this <u>Section 2.8(d)</u>, when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to <u>Section 2.8(b)</u>, exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that any matter expressly provided for or addressed by the foregoing provisions that is not expressly provided for or addressed by the underwriting agreement shall be controlled by the foregoing provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this <u>Section 2.8</u> shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this <u>Section 2</u>, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement or any provision(s) of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Reports Under Exchange Act</u>**. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for the Initial Public Offering;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements); and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the registration statement filed by the Company for the Initial Public Offering), the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act (at any time after the Company has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies); and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act) or pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies to use such form).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights</u>**. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would (i) provide to such holder or prospective holder the right to include securities in any registration on other than on a subordinate basis after all Holders have had the opportunity to include in the registration and offering all shares of Registrable Securities that they wish to so include; or (ii) allow such holder or prospective holder to initiate a demand for registration of any securities held by such holder or prospective holder; <u>provided</u> that this limitation shall not apply to Registrable Securities acquired by any additional Investor that becomes a party to this Agreement in accordance with <u>Section 6.1</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.11&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>"Market Stand-Off" Agreement</u>**. Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days), (i) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Common Stock held immediately before the effective date of the registration statement for the Initial Public Offering, or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in <u>clause (i</u>) or (<u>ii</u>) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 2.11</u> shall apply only to the Initial Public Offering, shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement or the transfer of any shares to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Holder or the immediate family of the Holder, <u>provided</u> that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and <u>provided</u> <u>further</u> that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, and shall be applicable to the Holders only if all officers and directors and all stockholders individually owning more than one percent (1%) of the Company's outstanding Common Stock (after giving effect to conversion into Common Stock of all outstanding Preferred Stock) are subject to the

------

same restrictions. The underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this <u>Section 2.11</u> and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are consistent with this <u>Section 2.11</u> or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.12&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Restrictions on Transfer</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Preferred Stock and the Registrable Securities shall not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred, and the Company shall not recognize and shall issue stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to any such sale, pledge, or transfer, except upon the conditions specified in this Agreement, which conditions are intended to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. A transferring Holder will cause any proposed purchaser, pledgee, or transferee of the Preferred Stock and the Registrable Securities held by such Holder to agree to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and upon the conditions specified in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not require any transferee of shares pursuant to an effective registration statement or, following the Initial Public Offering, SEC Rule 144, in each case, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. No Holder may transfer any Preferred Stock or Registrable Securities to a Competitor or any officer, director or employee of a Competitor, without the prior written consent of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each certificate, instrument, or book entry representing (i) the Preferred Stock, (ii) the Registrable Securities, and (iii) any other securities issued in respect of the securities referenced in <u>clauses (i</u>) and (<u>ii</u>), upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or similar event, shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of <u>Section 2.12(c)</u>) be notated with a legend substantially in the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

The Holders consent to the Company making a notation in its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent of the Restricted Securities in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth in this <u>Section 2.12</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The holder of such Restricted Securities, by acceptance of ownership thereof, agrees to comply in all respects with the provisions of this <u>Section 2</u>. Before any

------

proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of any Restricted Securities, unless there is in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the proposed transaction or following the Initial Public Offering, the transfer is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144, the Holder thereof shall give notice to the Company of such Holder's intention to effect such sale, pledge, or transfer, <u>provided</u> that no such notice shall be required in connection if the intended sale, pledge or transfer complies with SEC Rule 144. Each such notice shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer in sufficient detail and, if reasonably requested by the Company, shall be accompanied at such Holder's expense by either (i) a written opinion of legal counsel who shall, and whose legal opinion shall, be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, addressed to the Company, to the effect that the proposed transaction may be effected without registration under the Securities Act; (ii) a "no action" letter from the SEC to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of such Restricted Securities without registration will not result in a recommendation by the staff of the SEC that action be taken with respect thereto; or (iii) any other evidence reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of the Restricted Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, whereupon the Holder of such Restricted Securities shall be entitled to sell, pledge, or transfer such Restricted Securities in accordance with the terms of the notice given by the Holder to the Company. The Company will not require such a notice, legal opinion or "no action" letter (x) in any transaction in compliance with SEC Rule 144; or (y) in any transaction in which such Holder distributes Restricted Securities to an Affiliate of such Holder for no consideration; <u>provided</u> that with respect to transfers under the foregoing <u>clause (y)</u>, each transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this <u>Section 2.12</u>. Each certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the Restricted Securities transferred as above provided shall be notated with, except if such transfer is made pursuant to SEC Rule 144, the appropriate restrictive legend set forth in <u>Section 2.12(b)</u>, except that such certificate instrument, or book entry shall not be notated with such restrictive legend if, in the opinion of counsel for such Holder and the Company, such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.13&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Termination of Registration Rights</u>**.

The right of any Holder to request registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to <u>Sections 2.1</u> or <u>2.2</u> shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the closing of a Liquidation Event, as such term is defined in the Restated Certificate (as defined in <u>Section 4.1(a)</u> below), in which the consideration received by the Investors in such Liquidation Event is in the form of cash and/or publicly traded securities, or if the Investors receive registration rights from the acquiring company or other successor to the Company reasonably comparable to those set forth in this <u>Section 2</u>;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;such time after the Initial Public Offering as SEC Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for the sale of all of such Holder's shares without limitation, during a three (3)-month period without registration (and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under subsection (c)(1) of SEC Rule 144) and such Holder (together with its "affiliates"

This right of first refusal shall be subject to the following provisions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"**New Securities**" shall mean any capital stock (including Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock) of the Company whether now authorized or not, and rights, convertible securities, options or warrants to purchase such capital stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, exercisable or convertible into capital stock; provided that the term "New Securities" does not include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Significant Holder written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, and their price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Significant Holder shall have twenty (20) days after any such notice is mailed or delivered to agree to purchase such Holder's pro rata share of such New Securities and to indicate whether such Holder desires to exercise its over-allotment option for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company, in substantially the form attached as **<u>Schedule 1</u>**, and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event the Holders fail to exercise fully the right of first refusal and over-allotment rights, if any, within said twenty (20) day period (the "**Election Period**"), the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the sale of New Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within ninety (90) days from the date of said agreement) to sell that portion of the New Securities with respect to which the Significant Holders' right of first refusal option set forth in this Section 4.1 was not exercised, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company's notice to Significant Holders delivered pursuant to <u>Section 4.1(b)</u>. In the event the Company has not sold within such ninety (90) day period following the Election Period, or such ninety (90) day period following the date of said agreement, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities, without first again offering such securities to the Significant Holders in the manner provided in this <u>Section 4.1</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The right of first refusal granted under this Agreement shall not be applicable to the Initial Public Offering, and shall expire upon the earlier of (i) the closing of a Liquidation Event and (ii) when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 12(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A Significant Holder will not have a right of first refusal to purchase a *pro rata* share of New Securities in accordance with this <u>Section 4</u> and will not be a Significant Holder for purposes of the right of first refusal granted under this <u>Section 4</u> if, and for so long as, the Significant Holder, any of its directors, executive officers, other officers that may serve as a director or officer of any company in which it invests, general partners or managing members or any person that would be deemed a beneficial owner of the securities of the Company held by the Significant Holder (in accordance with Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act) is subject to any Bad Actor Disqualification, except as set forth in Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3) under the Securities Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Background**. HeartFlow, Inc. adopted the HeartFlow, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan in 2009 (the "**HeartFlow, Inc. Plan**"). HeartFlow, Inc. completed a holding company structure, making HeartFlow Holding, Inc. the parent holding company of HeartFlow, Inc. (the "**Reorganization**"). In connection with the Reorganization, HeartFlow, Inc. assigned, and HeartFlow Holding, Inc. assumed, the HeartFlow, Inc. Plan and all outstanding Award Agreements. All outstanding Awards granted under the HeartFlow, Inc. Plan automatically converted into a right to receive shares of HeartFlow Holding, Inc., upon the same terms and conditions as otherwise set forth in the Award Agreement. The HeartFlow, Inc. Plan is amended and restated as set forth herein, effective as of March 1, 2021 to reflect the Reorganization and prior amendments which are currently effective.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Purposes**. The purposes of this Plan are: (i) to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility; (ii) to provide additional incentive to Employees, Directors and Consultants; and (iii) to promote the success of the Company's business. The Plan permits the grant of Incentive Stock Options, Nonstatutory Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.

With respect to Stock Appreciation Rights, only Shares actually issued pursuant to a Stock Appreciation Right will cease to be available under the Plan; all remaining Shares under Stock Appreciation Rights will remain available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). Shares that have actually been issued under the Plan under any Award will not be returned to the Plan and will not become available for future distribution under the Plan; provided, however, that if Shares issued pursuant to Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units are repurchased by the Company or are forfeited to the Company due to the failure to vest, such Shares will become available for future grant under the Plan. Shares used to pay the exercise price of an Award or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to an Award will become available for future grant or sale under the Plan. To the extent an Award under the Plan is paid out in cash rather than Shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing and, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13, the maximum

------

number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options will equal the aggregate Share number stated in Section 3(a), plus, to the extent allowable under Code Section 422 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, any Shares that become available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 3(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Share Reserve**. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Administration of the Plan</u>**.

Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator will determine;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to institute and determine the terms and conditions of an Exchange Program;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(viii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws or for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable foreign laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ix)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to modify or amend each Award (subject to Section 18(c) of the Plan), including but not limited to the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Awards and to extend the maximum term of an Option (subject to Section 6(d));

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(x)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations in a manner prescribed in Section 14;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xi)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to allow a Participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that otherwise would be due to such Participant under an Award; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(xiii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Effect of Administrator's Decision**. The Administrator's decisions, determinations and interpretations will be final and binding on all Participants and any other holders of Awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Awards to Foreign Nationals and Employees Outside the United States**. To the extent the Administrator deems it necessary, appropriate or desirable to comply with non-U.S. law or practices and to further the purposes of the Plan, the Administrator may (i) establish rules applicable to Awards granted to Participants who are foreign nationals, are employed outside the United States, or both, including rules that differ from those set forth in this Plan, and (ii) grant Awards to such Participants in accordance with those rules.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Eligibility</u>**. Nonstatutory Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, and Restricted Stock Units may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Stock Options</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Grant of Options**. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Options in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Option Agreement**. Each Award of an Option will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term of the Option, the number of Shares subject to the Option, the exercise restrictions, if any, applicable to the Option, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Limitations**. Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. Notwithstanding such designation, however, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), such Options will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(c), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, the Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted, and calculation

------

will be performed in accordance with Code Section 422 and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Term of Option**. The term of each Option will be stated in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that the term will be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Option Exercise Price and Consideration**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Exercise Price**. The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option will be determined by the Administrator, but will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. In addition, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e)(i), Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Code Section 424(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Waiting Period and Exercise Dates**. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator will fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Form of Consideration**. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of: (1) cash; (2) check; (3) promissory note, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; (4) other Shares, provided that such Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option will be exercised and provided further that accepting such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion; (5) consideration received by the Company under cashless exercise program (whether through a broker or otherwise) implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; (6) by net exercise; (7) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; or (8) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator will consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Exercise of Option**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder**. Any Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

------

An Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) notice of exercise (in such form as the Administrator may specify from time to time) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with applicable tax withholding). Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan.

Exercising an Option in any manner will decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider**. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Participant's termination as the result of the Participant's death or Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within thirty (30) days of termination, or such longer period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(iii)**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Disability of Participant**. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant's Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within six (6) months of termination, or such longer period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement) to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Death of Participant**. If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within six (6) months following the Participant's death, or within such longer period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death, by the Participant's designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to the Participant's death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant's estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant's will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at the time of death Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will immediately revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so

------

exercised within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Stock Appreciation Rights</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights**. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Number of Shares**. The Administrator will have complete discretion to determine the number of Shares subject to any Award of Stock Appreciation Rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Exercise Price and Other Terms**. The per Share exercise price for the Shares that will determine the amount of the payment to be received upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right as set forth in Section 7(f) will be determined by the Administrator and will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. Otherwise, the Administrator, subject to the provisions of the Plan, will have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Stock Appreciation Right Agreement**. Each Stock Appreciation Right grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term of the Stock Appreciation Right, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Expiration of Stock Appreciation Rights**. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan will expire upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of Section 6(d) relating to the maximum term and Section 6(f) relating to exercise also will apply to Stock Appreciation Rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Payment of Stock Appreciation Right Amount**. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price; times

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

At the discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon Stock Appreciation Right exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Restricted Stock</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Grant of Restricted Stock**. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Restricted Stock Agreement**. Each Award of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Unless the

------

Administrator determines otherwise, the Company as escrow agent will hold Shares of Restricted Stock until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Transferability**. Except as provided in this Section 8 or as the Administrator determines, Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Other Restrictions**. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Removal of Restrictions**. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction or at such other time as the Administrator may determine. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Voting Rights**. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Dividends and Other Distributions**. During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares, unless the Administrator provides otherwise. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Return of Restricted Stock to Company**. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed will revert to the Company and again will become available for grant under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Restricted Stock Units</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Grant**. Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any time and from time to time as determined by the Administrator. After the Administrator determines that it will grant Restricted Stock Units, it will advise the Participant in an Award Agreement of the terms, conditions, and restrictions related to the grant, including the number of Restricted Stock Units.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Vesting Criteria and Other Terms**. The Administrator will set vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out to the Participant. The Administrator may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of Company-wide, business unit, or individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued employment or service), or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Earning Restricted Stock Units**. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout as determined by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to receive a payout.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Form and Timing of Payment**. Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units will be made as soon as practicable after the date(s) determined by the Administrator and set forth in the

------

Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may settle earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination of both.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Cancellation**. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Compliance With Code Section 409A**. Awards will be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. The Plan and each Award Agreement under the Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Code Section 409A the Award will be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Administrator will have any liability to any Participant for such tax or penalty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations**. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted hereunder will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. A Participant will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed three (3) months, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then six (6) months following the first (1<sup>st</sup>) day of such leave, any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Limited Transferability of Awards</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award may only be transferred (i) by will, (ii) by the laws of descent and distribution, or (iii) as permitted by Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Securities Act**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Further, until the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or after the Administrator determines that it is, will, or may no longer be relying upon the exemption from registration under the Exchange Act as set forth in Rule 12h-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, an Option, or prior to exercise, the Shares subject to the Option, may not be pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred or disposed of, in any manner, including by entering into any short position, any "put equivalent position" or any "call equivalent position" (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) and Rule 16a-1(b) of the Exchange Act, respectively), other than to (i) persons who are "family members" (as defined in Rule 701(c)(3) of the Securities Act) through gifts or domestic relations orders, or (ii) to an executor or guardian of the Participant upon the death or disability of the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine to permit transfers to the Company or in connection with a Change in Control or other acquisition transactions involving the Company to the extent permitted by Rule 12h-1(f).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Adjustments</u>**. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, will adjust the number and class of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of Shares covered by each outstanding Award; provided, however, that the Administrator will make such adjustments to an Award required by Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code to the extent the Company is relying upon the exemption afforded thereby with respect to the Award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Dissolution or Liquidation</u>**. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Merger or Change in Control</u>**. In the event of a merger or Change in Control, each outstanding Award will be treated as the Administrator determines without a Participant's consent, including, without limitation, that (i) Awards will be assumed, or substantially equivalent Awards will be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (ii) upon written notice to a Participant, that the Participant's Awards will terminate upon or immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or Change in Control (subject to the provisions of the preceding paragraph); (iii) outstanding Awards will vest and become exercisable, realizable, or payable, or restrictions applicable to an Award will lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon consummation of such merger or Change in Control, and, to the extent the Administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such merger of Change in Control; (iv) (A) the termination of an Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant's rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the Administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant's rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment), or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion; or (v) any combination of the foregoing. In taking any of the actions permitted under this Section 13(c), the Administrator will not be obligated to treat all Awards, all Awards held by a Participant, or all Awards of the same type, similarly.

In the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Award (or portion thereof), the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of his or her outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, including Shares as to which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will lapse, and, with respect to Awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all other terms and conditions met. In addition, if an Option or Stock Appreciation Right is not assumed or substituted in the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

------

For the purposes of this Section 13(c), an Award will be considered assumed if, following the merger or Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the merger or Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or upon the payout of a Restricted Stock Unit, for each Share subject to such Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or Change in Control.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13(c) to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant's consent; provided, however, a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation's post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13(c) to the contrary, if a payment under an Award Agreement is subject to Code Section 409A and if the change in control definition contained in the Award Agreement does not comply with the definition of "change of control" for purposes of a distribution under Code Section 409A, then any payment of an amount that is otherwise accelerated under this Section will be delayed until the earliest time that such payment would be permissible under Code Section 409A without triggering any penalties applicable under Code Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Tax Withholding</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Withholding Requirements**. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes (including the Participant's FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Withholding Arrangements**. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by (without limitation) (i) paying cash, (ii) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld, (iii) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the statutory amount required to be withheld, provided the delivery of such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion, or (iv) selling a sufficient number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant through such means as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the amount required to be withheld. The amount of the withholding requirement will be deemed to include any amount which the Administrator agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state or local marginal income tax rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>No Effect on Employment or Service</u>**. Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant's relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor will they interfere in any way with the Participant's right or the Company's right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Date of Grant</u>**. The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination will be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Term of Plan</u>**. Subject to Section 21 of the Plan, the Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the Board. Unless sooner terminated under Section 18, it will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the later of (a) the effective date of the Plan, or (b) the earlier of the most recent Board or stockholder approval of an increase in the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Amendment and Termination of the Plan</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Amendment and Termination**. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Stockholder Approval**. The Company will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Effect of Amendment or Termination**. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan will impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator's ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Legal Compliance**. Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Investment Representations**. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Inability to Obtain Authority</u>**. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority will not have been obtained.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Stockholder Approval</u>**. The Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Information to Participants</u>**. Beginning on the earlier of (i) the date that the aggregate number of Participants under this Plan is five hundred (500) or more and the Company is relying on the exemption provided by Rule 12h-1(f)(1) under the Exchange Act and (ii) the date that the Company is required to deliver information to Participants pursuant to Rule 701 under the Securities Act, and until such time as the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, is no longer relying on the exemption provided by Rule 12h-1(f)(1) under the Exchange Act or is no longer required to deliver information to Participants pursuant to Rule 701 under the Securities Act, the Company shall provide to each Participant the information described in paragraphs (e)(3), (4), and (5) of Rule 701 under the Securities Act not less frequently than every six (6) months with the financial statements being not more than 180 days old and with such information provided either by physical or electronic delivery to the Participants or by written notice to the Participants of the availability of the information on an Internet site that may be password-protected and of any password needed to access the information. The Company may request that Participants agree to keep the information to be provided pursuant to this section confidential. If a Participant does not agree to keep the information to be provided pursuant to this section confidential, then the Company will not be required to provide the information unless otherwise required pursuant to Rule 12h-1(f)(1) under the Exchange Act or Rule 701 of the Securities Act.

**«Vesting_Schedule**»

**<u>Termination Period</u>**:

This Option shall be exercisable for three (3) months after Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, unless such termination is due to Participant's death or Disability, in which case this Option shall be exercisable for twelve (12) months after Participant ceases to be a Service Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in no event may this Option be exercised after the Term/Expiration Date as provided above and this Option may be subject to earlier termination as provided in Section 13(c) of the Plan.

------

**II.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>AGREEMENT</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Grant of Option</u>**. The Administrator of the Company hereby grants to the Participant named in the Notice of Stock Option Grant in Part I of this Agreement ("Participant"), an option (the "Option") to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the "Exercise Price"), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 18(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.

If designated in the Notice of Stock Option Grant as an Incentive Stock Option ("ISO"), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code. Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d), this Option shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option ("NSO"). Further, if for any reason this Option (or portion thereof) shall not qualify as an ISO, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option (or portion thereof) shall be regarded as a NSO granted under the Plan. In no event shall the Administrator, the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary or any of their respective employees or directors have any liability to Participant (or any other person) due to the failure of the Option to qualify for any reason as an ISO.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Exercise of Option</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Right to Exercise</u>**. This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Stock Option Grant and with the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Method of Exercise</u>**. This Option shall be exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached as **<u>Exhibit A</u>** (the "Exercise Notice") or in a manner and pursuant to such procedures as the Administrator may determine, which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company. The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares, together with any applicable tax withholding. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate Exercise Price, together with any applicable tax withholding.

No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless such issuance and such exercise comply with Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to Participant on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Participant's Representations</u>**. In the event the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time this Option is exercised, Participant shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option, deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto as **<u>Exhibit B</u>**.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Lock-Up Period</u>**. Participant hereby agrees that Participant shall not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company or enter into any swap, hedging or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by Participant (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days following the effective date of any registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or the underwriters to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto).

Participant agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, Participant shall provide, within ten (10) days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company's securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act. The obligations described in this Section 4 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said one hundred and eighty (180) day (or other) period. Participant agrees that any transferee of the Option or shares acquired pursuant to the Option shall be bound by this Section 4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Method of Payment</u>**. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Participant:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cash;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;check;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless exercise program adopted by the Company in connection with the Plan; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;surrender of other Shares which (i) shall be valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, and (ii) must be owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, if accepting such Shares, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, shall not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Restrictions on Exercise</u>**. This Option may not be exercised until such time as the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, or if the issuance of such Shares upon

------

such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable Law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Non-Transferability of Option</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Participant only by Participant. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Further, until the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or after the Administrator determines that it is, will, or may no longer be relying upon the exemption from registration of Options under the Exchange Act as set forth in Rule 12h-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (the "Reliance End Date"), Participant shall not transfer this Option or, prior to exercise, the Shares subject to this Option, in any manner other than (i) to persons who are "family members" (as defined in Rule 701(c)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) through gifts or domestic relations orders, or (ii) to an executor or guardian of Participant upon the death or disability of Participant. Until the Reliance End Date, the Options and, prior to exercise, the Shares subject to this Option, may not be pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred or disposed of, including by entering into any short position, any "put equivalent position" or any "call equivalent position" (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) and Rule 16a-1(b) of the Exchange Act, respectively), other than as permitted in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Term of Option</u>**. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Tax Obligations</u>**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Tax Withholding</u>**. Participant agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Participant) for the satisfaction of all Federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the Option exercise. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares</u>**. If the Option granted to Participant herein is an ISO, and if Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the later of (i) the date two (2) years after the Date of Grant, or (ii) the date one (1) year after the date of exercise, Participant shall immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. Participant agrees that Participant may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Code Section 409A.</u>** Under Code Section 409A, an Option that was granted with a per Share exercise price that is determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") to be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant (a "discount option") may be considered "deferred compensation." An Option that is a "discount option" may result in (i) income recognition by Participant prior to the exercise of the Option, (ii) an additional twenty percent (20%)

------

federal income tax, and (iii) potential penalty and interest charges. The "discount option" may also result in additional state income, penalty and interest tax to the Participant. Participant acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not guaranteed that the IRS will agree that the per Share exercise price of this Option equals or exceeds the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant in a later examination. Participant agrees that if the IRS determines that the Option was granted with a per Share exercise price that was less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, Participant shall be solely responsible for Participant's costs related to such a determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Entire Agreement; Governing Law</u>**. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Participant's interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Participant. This Agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws but not the choice of law rules of California.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>No Guarantee of Continued Service</u>**. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT'S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT'S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

Participant acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts this Option subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof. Participant has reviewed the Plan and this Option in their entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Option and fully understands all provisions of the Option. Participant hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Option. Participant further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in the residence address indicated below.

Attention: Corporate Secretary

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Exercise of Option</u>. Effective as of today, ________________, ____, the undersigned ("Participant") hereby elects to exercise Participant's option (the "Option") to purchase ________________ shares of the Common Stock (the "Shares") of HeartFlow Holding, Inc. (the "Company") under and pursuant to the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and the Stock Option Agreement dated «Grant_Date» (the "Option Agreement").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Delivery of Payment</u>. Participant herewith delivers to the Company the full purchase price of the Shares, as set forth in the Option Agreement, and any and all withholding taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Representations of Participant</u>. Participant acknowledges that Participant has received, read and understood the Plan and the Option Agreement and agrees to abide by and be bound by their terms and conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Rights as Stockholder</u>. Until the issuance of the Shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Common Stock subject to an Award, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Shares shall be issued to Participant as soon as practicable after the Option is exercised in accordance with the Option Agreement. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Company's Right of First Refusal</u>. Before any Shares held by Participant or any transferee (either being sometimes referred to herein as the "Holder") may be sold or otherwise transferred (including transfer by gift or operation of law), the Company or its assignee(s) shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5 (the "Right of First Refusal").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Notice of Proposed Transfer</u>. The Holder of the Shares shall deliver to the Company a written notice (the "Notice") stating: (i) the Holder's bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer such Shares; (ii) the name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee ("Proposed Transferee"); (iii) the number of Shares to be transferred to each Proposed Transferee; and (iv) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for which the Holder proposes to transfer the

------

Shares (the "Offered Price"), and the Holder shall offer the Shares at the Offered Price to the Company or its assignee(s).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Exercise of Right of First Refusal</u>. At any time within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may, by giving written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares proposed to be transferred to any one or more of the Proposed Transferees, at the purchase price determined in accordance with subsection (c) below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Purchase Price</u>. The purchase price ("Purchase Price") for the Shares purchased by the Company or its assignee(s) under this Section 5 shall be the Offered Price. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payment</u>. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made, at the option of the Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company (or, in the case of repurchase by an assignee, to the assignee), or by any combination thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice or in the manner and at the times set forth in the Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Holder's Right to Transfer</u>. If all of the Shares proposed in the Notice to be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased by the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this Section 5, then the Holder may sell or otherwise transfer such Shares to that Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher price, *provided* that such sale or other transfer is consummated within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date of the Notice, that any such sale or other transfer is effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws and that the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this Section 5 shall continue to apply to the Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. If the Shares described in the Notice are not transferred to the Proposed Transferee within such period, a new Notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the Right of First Refusal before any Shares held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise transferred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Exception for Certain Family Transfers</u>. Anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5 notwithstanding, the transfer of any or all of the Shares during the Participant's lifetime or on the Participant's death by will or intestacy to the Participant's immediate family or a trust for the benefit of the Participant's immediate family shall be exempt from the provisions of this Section 5. "Immediate Family" as used herein shall mean spouse, lineal descendant or antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister. In such case, the transferee or other recipient shall receive and hold the Shares so transferred subject to the provisions of this Section 5, and there shall be no further transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Termination of Right of First Refusal</u>. The Right of First Refusal shall terminate as to any Shares upon the earlier of (i) the first sale of Common Stock of the Company to the general public, or (ii) a Change in Control in which the successor corporation has equity securities that are publicly traded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Tax Consultation</u>. Participant understands that Participant may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Participant's purchase or disposition of the Shares. Participant represents

------

that Participant has consulted with any tax consultants Participant deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Participant is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Legends</u>. Participant understands and agrees that the Company shall cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares together with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by state or federal securities laws:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL HELD BY THE ISSUER OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN THE EXERCISE NOTICE BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER FOR A PERIOD OF TIME FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE UNDERWRITTEN PUBLIC OFFERING OF THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF BY THE HOLDER PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF SUCH PERIOD WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE COMPANY OR THE MANAGING UNDERWRITER.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Stop-Transfer Notices</u>. Participant agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate "stop transfer" instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Refusal to Transfer</u>. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Exercise Notice or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Successors and Assigns</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Governing Law; Severability</u>. This Exercise Notice is governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of California.

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Participant represents to the Company the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Participant is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Participant is acquiring these Securities for investment for Participant's own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Participant acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Participant's investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Participant understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if Participant's representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one (1) year or any other fixed period in the future. Participant further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Participant further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Participant understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities shall be imprinted with any legend required under applicable state securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Participant is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to Participant, the exercise shall be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of

------

Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified by Rule 144, including in the case of affiliates (1) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (2) the amount of Securities being sold during any three (3) month period not exceeding specified limitations, (3) the resale being made in an unsolicited "broker's transaction", transactions directly with a "market maker" or "riskless principal transactions" (as those terms are defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which may require (i) the availability of current public information about the Company; (ii) the resale to occur more than a specified period after the purchase and full payment (within the meaning of Rule 144) for the Securities; and (iii) in the case of the sale of Securities by an affiliate, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in sections (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Participant further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption shall be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 shall have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Participant understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption shall be available in such event.

YOU MUST EXERCISE THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE OR IT WILL TERMINATE AND YOU WILL HAVE NO FURTHER RIGHT TO PURCHASE THE SHARES.

------

**II.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>AGREEMENT</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Sale of Stock</u>. The Administrator of the Company hereby agrees to sell to the Participant named in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock in Part I of this Agreement ("Participant"), and Participant hereby agrees to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock, at the Purchase Price per Share set forth in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock (the "Purchase Price"), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 18(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payment of Purchase Price</u>. Participant herewith delivers to the Company the aggregate Purchase Price for the Shares by cash or check, together with any and all withholding taxes due in connection with the purchase of the Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Participant's Representations</u>. In the event the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time this Restricted Stock Award is exercised, Participant shall, if required by the Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of this Restricted Stock Award, deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit A</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Lock-Up Period</u>. Participant hereby agrees that Participant shall not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company or enter into any swap, hedging or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by Participant (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days following the effective date of any registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or the underwriters to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto).

Participant agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, Participant shall provide, within ten (10) days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company's securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act. The obligations described in this Section 4 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction

------

on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said one hundred and eighty (180) day (or other) period. Participant agrees that any transferee of the Restricted Stock Award or shares acquired pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award shall be bound by this Section 4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Non-Transferability of Restricted Stock</u>. This Restricted Stock Award may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Participant only by Participant. The terms of the Plan and this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Participant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Tax Consequences</u>. Participant has reviewed with Participant's own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Participant understands that Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Participant's own tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Participant understands that Section 83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), taxes as ordinary income the difference between the purchase price for the Shares and the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the date any restrictions on the Shares lapse. In this context, "restriction" includes the right of the Company to buy back the Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Option. Participant understands that Participant may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are purchased rather than when and as the Repurchase Option expires by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code with the IRS within thirty (30) days from the date of purchase. The form for making this election is attached as <u>Exhibit B-3</u> hereto.

THE PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE PARTICIPANT'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY'S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF THE PARTICIPANT REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON THE PARTICIPANT'S BEHALF.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Tax Withholding</u>. Pursuant to such procedures as the Administrator may specify from time to time, the Company shall withhold the minimum amount required to be withheld for the payment of income, employment and other taxes which the Company determines must be withheld (the "Withholding Taxes") with respect to Shares released from the Company's Repurchase Option by, in the Administrator's discretion: (i) withholding otherwise deliverable Shares upon release from the Company's Repurchase Option having a Fair Market Value equal the amount of such Withholding Taxes, (ii) withholding the amount of such Withholding Taxes from Participant's paycheck(s), (iii) requiring Participant to make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Participant) for the satisfaction of all Withholding Taxes, or (iv) a combination of the foregoing. The Company shall not retain fractional Shares to satisfy any portion of the Withholding Taxes. Accordingly, if any withholding is done through the withholding of Shares, Participant shall pay to the Company an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy the remaining Withholding Taxes due and payable as a result

------

of the Company not retaining fractional Shares. Should the Company be unable to procure such cash amounts from Participant, Participant agrees and acknowledges that Participant is giving the Company permission to withhold from Participant's paycheck(s) an amount equal to the remaining Withholding Taxes due and payable as a result of the Company not retaining fractional Shares. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of purchase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>No Guarantee of Continued Service</u>. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE RELEASE OF SHARES FROM THE REPURCHASE OPTION OF THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED OR PURCHASING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT'S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT'S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Repurchase Option</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event Participant's continuous status as a Service Provider terminates for any or no reason (including death or Disability), the Company shall, upon the date of such termination (as reasonably fixed and determined by the Company), have an irrevocable, exclusive option for a period of ninety (90) days from such date to repurchase up to that number of Shares which constitute the Unreleased Shares (as defined in Part I of this Agreement) at the Repurchase Price per Share set forth in the Notice of Grant of Restricted Stock (the "Repurchse Price") (the "Repurchase Option").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Repurchase Option shall be exercised by the Company by delivering written notice to Participant or Participant's executor (with a copy to the Escrow Holder (as defined in Section 11)) AND, at the Company's option, (i) by delivering to Participant or Participant's executor a check in the amount of the aggregate Repurchase Price, or (ii) by the Company canceling an amount of Participant's indebtedness to the Company equal to the aggregate Repurchase Price, or (iii) by a combination of (i) and (ii) so that the combined payment and cancellation of indebtedness equals such aggregate Repurchase Price. Upon delivery of such notice and the payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price in any of the ways described above, the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Unreleased Shares being repurchased and all rights and interests therein or relating thereto, and the Company

------

shall have the right to retain and transfer to its own name the number of Unreleased Shares being repurchased by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Whenever the Company shall have the right to repurchase the Unreleased Shares hereunder, the Company may designate and assign one or more employees, officers, directors or shareholders of the Company or other persons or organizations to exercise all or a part of the Company's Repurchase Option to purchase all or a part of the Unreleased Shares. If the Fair Market Value of the Unreleased Shares to be repurchased on the date of such designation or assignment (the "Repurchase FMV") exceeds the aggregate Repurchase Price of the Unreleased Shares, then each such designee or assignee shall pay the Company cash equal to the difference between the Repurchase FMV and the aggregate Repurchase Price of Unreleased Shares to be purchased.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the Company or its assignee does not elect to exercise the Repurchase Option conferred above by giving the requisite notice within ninety (90) days following Participant's termination as a Service Provider, the Repurchase Option shall terminate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Restriction on Transfer</u>. Except for the escrow described in Section 11 or transfer of the Shares to the Company or its assignees contemplated by this Agreement, none of the Shares or any beneficial interest therein shall be transferred, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in any way until the release of such Shares from the Company's Repurchase Option in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this Agreement shall, if Participant is then deceased, be made to Participant's designated beneficiary, or if no beneficiary survives Participant, to the administrator or executor of Participant's estate. Any such transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Escrow of Shares</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To ensure the availability for delivery of Participant's Unreleased Shares upon exercise of the Repurchase Option by the Company, Participant will, upon execution of this Agreement, deliver and deposit with an escrow holder designated by the Company (the "Escrow Holder") the share certificates representing the Unreleased Shares, together with the Assignment Separate from Certificate (the "Stock Assignment") duly endorsed in blank, attached hereto as <u>Exhibit B-1</u>. The Unreleased Shares and Stock Assignment shall be held by the Escrow Holder, pursuant to the Joint Escrow Instructions of the Company and Participant attached as <u>Exhibit B-2</u> hereto, until such time as the Company's Repurchase Option expires.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Escrow Holder shall not be liable for any act it may do or omit to do with respect to holding the Unreleased Shares in escrow and while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its judgment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the Company or any assignee exercises its Repurchase Option hereunder, the Escrow Holder, upon receipt of written notice of such option exercise from the

------

proposed transferee, shall take all steps necessary to accomplish such transfer. Participant hereby appoints the Escrow Holder with full power of substitution, as Participant's true and lawful attorney-in-fact with irrevocable power and authority in the name and on behalf of Participant to take any action and execute all documents and instruments, including, without limitation, stock powers which may be necessary to transfer the certificate or certificates evidencing such Unreleased Shares to the Company upon such termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When the Repurchase Option has been exercised or expires unexercised or a portion of the Shares has been released from such Repurchase Option, upon Participant's request the Escrow Holder shall promptly cause a new certificate to be issued for such released Shares and shall deliver such certificate to the Company or Participant, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the terms hereof, Participant shall have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to such Shares while they are held in escrow, including without limitation, the right to vote the Shares and receive any cash dividends declared thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, separation, liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, share combination, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Common Stock, the Shares shall be increased, reduced or otherwise changed, and by virtue of any such change Participant shall in his or her capacity as owner of Unreleased Shares that have been awarded to him or her be entitled to new or additional or different shares of stock, cash or securities (other than rights or warrants to purchase securities); such new or additional or different shares, cash or securities shall thereupon be considered to be "Unreleased Shares" and shall be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Unreleased Shares pursuant to this Agreement. If Participant receives rights or warrants with respect to any Unreleased Shares, such rights or warrants may be held or exercised by Participant, provided that until such exercise any such rights or warrants and after such exercise any shares or other securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants shall be considered to be Unreleased Shares and shall be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the Unreleased Shares pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrator in its absolute discretion at any time may accelerate the vesting of all or any portion of such new or additional shares of stock, cash or securities, rights or warrants to purchase securities or shares or other securities acquired by the exercise of such rights or warrants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Company's Right of First Refusal</u>. Subject to Section 10, before any Shares held by Participant or any transferee (either being sometimes referred to herein as the "Holder") may be sold or otherwise transferred (including transfer by gift or operation of law), the Company or its assignee(s) shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 12 (the "Right of First Refusal").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Notice of Proposed Transfer</u>. The Holder of the Shares shall deliver to the Company a written notice (the "Notice") stating: (i) the Holder's bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer such Shares; (ii) the name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee ("Proposed Transferee"); (iii) the number of Shares to be transferred to each Proposed Transferee; and (iv) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for which the Holder

------

proposes to transfer the Shares (the "Offered Price"), and the Holder shall offer the Shares at the Offered Price to the Company or its assignee(s).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Exercise of Right of First Refusal</u>. At any time within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may, by giving written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares proposed to be transferred to any one or more of the Proposed Transferees, at the purchase price determined in accordance with subsection (c) below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Purchase Price</u>. The purchase price ("Right of First Refusal Price") for the Shares purchased by the Company or its assignee(s) under this Section 12 shall be the Offered Price. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the Board in good faith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payment</u>. Payment of the Right of First Refusal Price shall be made, at the option of the Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company (or, in the case of repurchase by an assignee, to the assignee), or by any combination thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice or in the manner and at the times set forth in the Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Holder's Right to Transfer</u>. If all of the Shares proposed in the Notice to be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased by the Company and/or its assignee(s) as provided in this Section 12, then the Holder may sell or otherwise transfer such Shares to that Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that such sale or other transfer is consummated within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date of the Notice, that any such sale or other transfer is effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws and that the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue to apply to the Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. If the Shares described in the Notice are not transferred to the Proposed Transferee within such period, a new Notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the Right of First Refusal before any Shares held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise transferred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Exception for Certain Family Transfers</u>. Anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12 notwithstanding, the transfer of any or all of the Shares during Participant's lifetime or on Participant's death by will or intestacy to Participant's immediate family or a trust for the benefit of Participant's immediate family shall be exempt from the provisions of this Section 12. "Immediate Family" as used herein shall mean spouse, lineal descendant or antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister. In such case, the transferee or other recipient shall receive and hold the Shares so transferred subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to this Section 12 and Section 9, and there shall be no further transfer of such Shares except in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Termination of Right of First Refusal</u>. The Right of First Refusal shall terminate as to any Shares upon the earlier of (i) the first sale of Common Stock of the Company

------

to the general public, or (ii) a Change in Control in which the successor corporation has equity securities that are publicly traded.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Legends</u>. Participant understands and agrees that the Company shall cause the legends set forth below or legends substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) evidencing ownership of the Shares together with any other legends that may be required by the Company or by state or federal securities laws:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES, SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION IS IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER, A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL, AND A REPURCHASE OPTION HELD BY THE ISSUER OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN THE RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS, RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AND REPURCHASE OPTION ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER FOR A PERIOD OF TIME FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE UNDERWRITTEN PUBLIC OFFERING OF THE COMPANY'S SECURITIES SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF BY THE HOLDER PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF SUCH PERIOD WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE COMPANY OR THE MANAGING UNDERWRITER.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Stop-Transfer Notices</u>. Participant agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate "stop transfer" instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Refusal to Transfer</u>. The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the

------

provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Notices</u>.

Any notice to the Escrow Holder shall be sent to the Company's address with a copy to the other party not sending the notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>No Waiver</u>. Either party's failure to enforce any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision or provisions, nor prevent that party from thereafter enforcing each and every other provision of this Agreement. The rights granted both parties herein are cumulative and shall not constitute a waiver of either party's right to assert all other legal remedies available to it under the circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Successors and Assigns</u>. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and his or her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. The rights and obligations of Participant under this Agreement may only be assigned with the prior written consent of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Interpretation</u>. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall be submitted by Participant or by the Company forthwith to the Administrator, which shall review such dispute at its next regular meeting. The resolution of such a dispute by the Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Additional Documents</u>. Participant agrees upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes or intent of this Agreement.

COMPANY&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;HEARTFLOW HOLDING, INC.

SECURITY&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;COMMON STOCK

AMOUNT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; :&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

DATE&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; :&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Participant represents to the Company the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Participant is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Participant is acquiring these Securities for investment for Participant's own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Participant acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Participant's investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Participant understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if Participant's representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. Participant further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Participant further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Participant understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities shall be imprinted with any legend required under applicable state securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Participant is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Restricted Stock Award to Participant, the exercise shall be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. In the event the Company

------

becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified by Rule 144, including in the case of affiliates (1) the availability of certain public information about the Company, (2) the amount of Securities being sold during any three (3) month period not exceeding specified limitations, (3) the resale being made in an unsolicited "broker's transaction", transactions directly with a "market maker" or "riskless principal transactions" (as those terms are defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144, if applicable.

In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time of grant of the Restricted Stock Award, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which may require (i) the availability of current public information about the Company; (ii) the resale to occur more than a specified period after the purchase and full payment (within the meaning of Rule 144) for the Securities; and (iii) in the case of the sale of Securities by an affiliate, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in sections (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Participant further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption shall be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 shall have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk. Participant understands that no assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption shall be available in such event.

Dear _________________:

As Escrow Agent for both HeartFlow Holding, Inc.(the "Company"), and the undersigned purchaser of stock of the Company (the "Participant"), you are hereby authorized and directed to hold the documents delivered to you pursuant to the terms of that certain Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") between the Company and the undersigned, in accordance with the following instructions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event the Company and/or any assignee of the Company (referred to collectively for convenience herein as the "Company") exercises the Company's repurchase option set forth in the Agreement, the Company shall give to Participant and you a written notice specifying the number of shares of stock to be purchased, the purchase price, and the time for a closing hereunder at the principal office of the Company. Participant and the Company hereby irrevocably authorize and direct you to close the transaction contemplated by such notice in accordance with the terms of said notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the closing, you are directed (a) to date the stock assignments necessary for the transfer in question, (b) to fill in the number of shares being transferred, and (c) to deliver the stock assignments, together with the certificate evidencing the shares of stock to be transferred, to the Company or its assignee, against the simultaneous delivery to you of the purchase price (by cash, a check, or some combination thereof) for the number of shares of stock being purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Company's repurchase option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Participant irrevocably authorizes the Company to deposit with you any certificates evidencing shares of stock to be held by you hereunder and any additions and substitutions to said shares as defined in the Agreement. Participant does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint you as Participant's attorney-in-fact and agent for the term of this escrow to execute with respect to such securities all documents necessary or appropriate to make such securities negotiable and to complete any transaction herein contemplated, including but not limited to the filing with any applicable state blue sky authority of any required applications for consent to, or notice of transfer of, the securities. Subject to the provisions of this paragraph 3, Participant shall exercise all rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company while the stock is held by you.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon written request of the Participant, but no more than once per calendar year, unless the Company's repurchase option has been exercised, you shall deliver to Participant a certificate or certificates representing so many shares of stock as are not then subject to the Company's repurchase option. Within one hundred and twenty (120) days after cessation of Participant's continuous employment by or services to the Company, or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, you shall deliver to Participant a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of shares held or issued pursuant to the Agreement and not purchased by the Company or its assignees pursuant to exercise of the Company's repurchase option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If at the time of termination of this escrow you should have in your possession any documents, securities, or other property belonging to Participant, you shall deliver all of the same to Participant and shall be discharged of all further obligations hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Your duties hereunder may be altered, amended, modified or revoked only by a writing signed by all of the parties hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth herein and may rely and shall be protected in relying or refraining from acting on any instrument reasonably believed by you to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. You shall not be personally liable for any act you may do or omit to do hereunder as Escrow Agent or as attorney-in-fact for Participant while acting in good faith, and any act done or omitted by you pursuant to the advice of your own attorneys shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You are hereby expressly authorized to disregard any and all warnings given by any of the parties hereto or by any other person or corporation, excepting only orders or process of courts of law and are hereby expressly authorized to comply with and obey orders, judgments or decrees of any court. In case you obey or comply with any such order, judgment or decree, you shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment or decree being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside, vacated or found to have been entered without jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You shall not be liable in any respect on account of the identity, authorities or rights of the parties executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver the Agreement or any documents or papers deposited or called for hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You shall not be liable for the outlawing of any rights under the Statute of Limitations with respect to these Joint Escrow Instructions or any documents deposited with you.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You shall be entitled to employ such legal counsel and other experts as you may deem necessary properly to advise you in connection with your obligations hereunder, may rely upon the advice of such counsel, and may pay such counsel reasonable compensation therefor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Your responsibilities as Escrow Agent hereunder shall terminate if you shall cease to be an officer or agent of the Company or if you shall resign by written notice to each party. In the event of any such termination, the Company shall appoint a successor Escrow Agent.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you reasonably require other or further instruments in connection with these Joint Escrow Instructions or obligations in respect hereto, the necessary parties hereto shall join in furnishing such instruments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is understood and agreed that should any dispute arise with respect to the delivery and/or ownership or right of possession of the securities held by you hereunder, you are authorized and directed to retain in your possession without liability to anyone all or any part of said securities until such disputes shall have been settled either by mutual written agreement of the parties concerned or by a final order, decree or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction after the time for appeal has expired and no appeal has been perfected, but you shall be under no duty whatsoever to institute or defend any such proceedings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail with postage and fees prepaid, addressed to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the following addresses or at such other addresses as a party may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to each of the other parties hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By signing these Joint Escrow Instructions, you become a party hereto only for the purpose of said Joint Escrow Instructions; you do not become a party to the Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This instrument shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These Joint Escrow Instructions shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of California.

## Exhibit 10.2

**Exhibit 10.2**

**HEARTFLOW, INC.**

**2025 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN**

**1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PURPOSE OF PLAN**

The purpose of this Heartflow, Inc. 2025 Performance Incentive Plan (this "**Plan**") of Heartflow, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "**Corporation**"), is to promote the success of the Corporation by providing an additional means through the grant of awards to attract, motivate, retain and reward selected employees and other eligible persons and to enhance the alignment of the interests of the selected participants with the interests of the Corporation's stockholders.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ELIGIBILITY**

The Administrator (as such term is defined in Section 3.1) may grant awards under this Plan only to those persons that the Administrator determines to be Eligible Persons. An "**Eligible Person**" is any person who is either: (a) an officer (whether or not a director) or employee of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries; (b) a director of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries; or (c) an individual consultant or advisor who renders or has rendered bona fide services (other than services in connection with the offering or sale of securities of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries in a capital-raising transaction or as a market maker or promoter of securities of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries) to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries and who is selected to participate in this Plan by the Administrator; provided, however, that a person who is otherwise an Eligible Person under clause (c) above may participate in this Plan only if such participation would not adversely affect either the Corporation's eligibility to use Form S-8 to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Securities Act**"), the offering and sale of shares issuable under this Plan by the Corporation or the Corporation's compliance with any other applicable laws. An Eligible Person who has been granted an award (a "participant") may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional awards if the Administrator shall so determine. As used herein, "**Subsidiary**" means any corporation or other entity a majority of whose outstanding voting stock or voting power is beneficially owned directly or indirectly by the Corporation; and "**Board**" means the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PLAN ADMINISTRATION**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*The Administrator***. This Plan shall be administered by and all awards under this Plan shall be authorized by the Administrator. The "**Administrator**" means the Board or one or more committees (or subcommittees, as the case may be) appointed by the Board or another committee (within its delegated authority) to administer all or certain aspects of this Plan. Any such committee shall be comprised solely of one or more directors or such number of directors as may be required under applicable law. A committee may delegate some or all of its authority to another committee so constituted. The Board or a committee comprised solely of directors may also delegate, to the extent permitted by

------

applicable law, to one or more officers of the Corporation, its authority under this Plan. The Board or another committee (within its delegated authority) may delegate different levels of authority to different committees or persons with administrative and grant authority under this Plan. Unless otherwise provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation or the applicable charter of any Administrator: (a) a majority of the members of the acting Administrator shall constitute a quorum, and (b) the vote of a majority of the members present assuming the presence of a quorum or the unanimous written consent of the members of the Administrator shall constitute action by the acting Administrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Powers of the Administrator***. Subject to the express provisions of this Plan, the Administrator is authorized and empowered to do all things necessary or desirable in connection with the authorization of awards and the administration of this Plan (in the case of a committee or delegation to one or more officers, within any express limits on the authority delegated to that committee or person(s)), including, without limitation, the authority to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;determine eligibility and, from among those persons determined to be eligible, determine the particular Eligible Persons who will receive an award under this Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;grant awards to Eligible Persons, determine the price (if any) at which securities will be offered or awarded and the number of securities to be offered or awarded to any of such persons (in the case of securities-based awards), determine the other specific terms and conditions of awards consistent with the express limits of this Plan, establish the installment(s) (if any) in which such awards shall become exercisable or shall vest (which may include, without limitation, performance and/or time-based schedules), or determine that no delayed exercisability or vesting is required, establish any applicable performance-based exercisability or vesting requirements, determine the circumstances in which any performance-based goals (or the applicable measure of performance) will be adjusted and the nature and impact of any such adjustment, determine the extent (if any) to which any applicable exercise and vesting requirements have been satisfied, establish the events (if any) on which exercisability or vesting may accelerate (which may include, without limitation, retirement and other specified terminations of employment or services, or other circumstances), and establish the events (if any) of termination, expiration or reversion of such awards;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;approve the forms of any award agreements (which need not be identical either as to type of award or among participants);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;construe and interpret this Plan and any agreements defining the rights and obligations of the Corporation, its Subsidiaries, and participants under this Plan, make any and all determinations under this Plan and any such

------

agreements, further define the terms used in this Plan, and prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the administration of this Plan or the awards granted under this Plan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cancel, modify, or waive the Corporation's rights with respect to, or modify, discontinue, suspend, or terminate any or all outstanding awards, subject to any required consent under Section 8.6.5;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;accelerate, waive or extend the vesting or exercisability, or modify or extend the term of, any or all such outstanding awards (in the case of options or stock appreciation rights, within the maximum term of such awards) in such circumstances as the Administrator may deem appropriate (including, without limitation, in connection with a retirement or other termination of employment or services, or other circumstances) subject to any required consent under Section 8.6.5;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;adjust the number of shares of Common Stock subject to any award, adjust the price of any or all outstanding awards or otherwise waive or change previously imposed terms and conditions, in such circumstances as the Administrator may deem appropriate, in each case subject to Sections 4 and 8.6;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;determine the date of grant of an award, which may be a designated date after but not before the date of the Administrator's action to approve the award (unless otherwise designated by the Administrator, the date of grant of an award shall be the date upon which the Administrator took the action approving the award);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;determine whether, and the extent to which, adjustments are required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof and take any other actions contemplated by Section 7 in connection with the occurrence of an event of the type described in Section 7;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;acquire or settle (subject to Sections 7 and 8.6) rights under awards in cash, stock of equivalent value, or other consideration; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;determine the fair market value of the Common Stock or awards under this Plan from time to time and/or the manner in which such value will be determined.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Availability of Repricing***. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.2 and in accordance with Section 7.1, the Administrator may (1) amend an outstanding stock option or SAR to reduce the exercise price or base price of the award, (2) cancel, exchange, or surrender an outstanding stock option or SAR in exchange for cash or other awards for the purpose of repricing the award, or (3) cancel, exchange, or surrender an outstanding stock option or SAR in exchange

------

for an option or SAR with an exercise or base price that is less than the exercise or base price of the original award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Binding Determinations***. Any determination or other action taken by, or inaction of, the Corporation, any Subsidiary, or the Administrator relating or pursuant to this Plan (or any award made under this Plan) and within its authority hereunder or under applicable law shall be within the absolute discretion of that entity or body and shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons. Neither the Board nor any other Administrator, nor any member thereof or person acting at the direction thereof, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with this Plan (or any award made under this Plan), and all such persons shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by the Corporation in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted by law and/or under any directors and officers liability insurance coverage that may be in effect from time to time. Neither the Board nor any other Administrator, nor any member thereof or person acting at the direction thereof, nor the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be liable for any damages of a participant should an option intended as an ISO (as defined below) fail to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "**Code**"), applicable to ISOs, should any other award(s) fail to qualify for any intended tax treatment, should any award grant or other action with respect thereto not satisfy Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise for any tax or other liability imposed on a participant with respect to an award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Reliance on Experts***. In making any determination or in taking or not taking any action under this Plan, the Administrator may obtain and may rely upon the advice of experts, including employees and professional advisors to the Corporation. No director, officer or agent of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any such action or determination taken or made or omitted in good faith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Delegation***. The Administrator may delegate ministerial, non-discretionary functions to individuals who are officers or employees of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or to third parties.

**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SHARES OF COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN; SHARE LIMITS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Shares Available***. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, the capital stock that may be delivered under this Plan shall be shares of the Corporation's authorized but unissued Common Stock and any shares of its Common Stock held as treasury shares. For purposes of this Plan, "**Common Stock**" shall mean the common stock of the Corporation and such other securities or property as may become the subject of awards under this Plan, or may become subject to such awards, pursuant to an adjustment made under Section 7.1.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Aggregate Share Limit***. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted to Eligible Persons under this Plan (the "**Share Limit**") is equal to the sum of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to ten percent (10%) of the total number of fully diluted shares of Common Stock outstanding (including, without limitation, any outstanding warrants) as of the date of commencement of trading of the shares of Common Stock on the Exchange (the "**Initial Trading Date**"), plus

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the number of shares of Common Stock available for additional award grant purposes under the Corporation's Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "**2009 Plan**") as of the Initial Trading Date and determined immediately prior to the termination of the authority to grant new awards under the 2009 Plan as of the Initial Trading Date, plus

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the number of any shares subject to stock options granted under the 2009 Plan and outstanding on the Initial Trading Date which expire, or for any reason are cancelled or terminated, after the Initial Trading Date without being exercised (which, for purposes of clarity, shall become available for award grants under this Plan on a one-for-one basis).

In addition, the Share Limit will automatically increase if, on the last day of the Corporation's fiscal year, the Share Limit has not increased during such fiscal year pursuant to any Board-approved increase(s) by an aggregate amount equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the first day of such fiscal year (the "**Minimum Annual Increase**"), then in an amount equal to the difference between the Minimum Annual Increase and the aggregate amount in which the Share Limit increased pursuant to any Board-approved increase(s) during such fiscal year, effective as of the last day of such fiscal year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may act prior to the last day of such fiscal year to provide that an increase in the Share Limit will be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock than would otherwise occur pursuant to the preceding sentence. As required under Treasury Regulation Section 1.422-2(b)(3)(i), in no event will the number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to incentive stock options granted under this Plan exceed the Share Limit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Additional Share Limits***. The following limits also apply with respect to awards granted under this Plan. These limits are in addition to, not in lieu of, the aggregate Share Limit in Section 4.2.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered pursuant to options qualified as incentive stock options granted under this Plan is 2,000,000 shares.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Awards that are granted under this Plan during any one calendar year to any person who, on the grant date of the award, is a non-employee director are subject to the limits of this Section 4.3(b). The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to those awards that are granted under this Plan during any one calendar year to any person who, on the grant date of the award, is a non-employee director shall not exceed the number of shares that produce a grant date fair value for the award that, when combined with (i) the grant date fair value of any other awards granted under this Plan during that same calendar year to that individual in his or her capacity as a non-employee director and (ii) the dollar amount of all other cash compensation payable by the Corporation to such non-employee director for his or her services in such capacity during that same calendar year (regardless of whether deferred and excluding any interest or earnings on any portion of such amount that may be deferred), is $750,000; provided that this limit is $1,000,000 as to any new non-employee director for the calendar year in which the non-employee director is first elected or appointed to the Board. For purposes of this Section 4.3(b), a "non-employee director" is an individual who, on the grant date of the award, is a member of the Board who is not then an officer or employee of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries. For purposes of this Section 4.3(b), "grant date fair value" means the value of the award as of the date of grant of the award and as determined using the equity award valuation principles applied in the Corporation's financial reporting. The limits of this Section 4.3(b) do not apply to, and shall be determined without taking into account, any award granted to an individual who, on the grant date of the award, is an officer or employee of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries. The limits of this Section 4.3(b) apply on an individual basis and not on an aggregate basis to all non-employee directors as a group.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Share-Limit Counting Rules***. The Share Limit shall be subject to the following provisions of this Section 4.4:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shares that are subject to or underlie awards granted under this Plan which expire or for any reason are cancelled or terminated, are forfeited, fail to vest, or for any other reason are not paid or delivered under this Plan shall not be counted against the Share Limit and shall be available for subsequent awards under this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as provided below, to the extent that shares of Common Stock are delivered pursuant to the exercise of a stock appreciation right granted under this Plan, the number of underlying shares which are actually issued in payment of the award shall be counted against the Share Limit. (For purposes of clarity, if a stock appreciation right relates to 100,000 shares and is exercised in full at a time when the payment due to the participant is

------

15,000 shares, 15,000 shares shall be counted against the Share Limit with respect to such exercise and the 85,000 shares not issued shall not be counted against the Share Limit and shall be available for subsequent awards under this Plan.)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shares that are exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Corporation as full or partial payment in connection with any stock option or stock appreciation right granted under this Plan, as well as any shares exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to any stock option or stock appreciation right granted under this Plan, shall not be counted against the Share Limit and shall be available for subsequent awards under this Plan. Shares that are exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Corporation as full or partial payment in connection with any award granted under this Plan shall not be counted against the Share Limit and shall be available for subsequent awards under this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, shares that are exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Corporation after the Initial Trading Date as full or partial payment in connection with any award granted under the 2009 Plan, as well as any shares exchanged by a participant or withheld by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries after the Initial Trading Date to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to any award granted under the 2009 Plan, shall be available for new awards under this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the extent that an award granted under this Plan is settled in cash or a form other than shares of Common Stock, the shares that would have been delivered had there been no such cash or other settlement shall not be counted against the Share Limit and shall be available for subsequent awards under this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event that shares of Common Stock are delivered in respect of a dividend equivalent right granted under this Plan, the number of shares delivered with respect to the award shall be counted against the Share Limit. (For purposes of clarity, if 1,000 dividend equivalent rights are granted and outstanding when the Corporation pays a dividend, and 50 shares are delivered in payment of those rights with respect to that dividend, 50 shares shall be counted against the Share Limit). Except as otherwise provided by the Administrator, shares delivered in respect of dividend equivalent rights shall not count against any individual award limit under this Plan other than the aggregate Share Limit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Corporation may not increase the Share Limit by repurchasing shares of Common Stock on the market (by using cash received through the exercise of stock options or otherwise).

------

Refer to Section 8.10 for application of the share limits of this Plan, including the limits in Sections 4.2 and 4.3, with respect to assumed awards. Each of the numerical limits and references in Sections 4.2 and 4.3, and in this Section 4.4, is subject to adjustment as contemplated by Sections 7 and 8.10.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No Fractional Shares; Minimum Issue***. Unless otherwise expressly provided by the Administrator, no fractional shares shall be delivered under this Plan. The Administrator may pay cash in lieu of any fractional shares in settlements of awards under this Plan. The Administrator may from time to time impose a limit (of not greater than 100 shares) on the minimum number of shares that may be purchased or exercised as to awards (or any particular award) granted under this Plan unless (as to any particular award) the total number purchased or exercised is the total number at the time available for purchase or exercise under the award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Type and Form of Awards***. The Administrator shall determine the type or types of award(s) to be made to each selected Eligible Person. Awards may be granted singly, in combination or in tandem. Awards also may be made in combination or in tandem with, in replacement of, as alternatives to, or as the payment form for grants or rights under any other employee or compensation plan of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries. The types of awards that may be granted under this Plan are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Stock Options***. A stock option is the grant of a right to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock during a specified period as determined by the Administrator. An option may be intended as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code (an "**ISO**") or a nonqualified stock option (an option not intended to be an ISO). The agreement evidencing the grant of an option will indicate if the option is intended as an ISO; otherwise it will be deemed to be a nonqualified stock option. The maximum term of each option (ISO or nonqualified) shall be ten (10) years. The per share exercise price for each option shall be not less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the option. When an option is exercised, the exercise price for the shares to be purchased shall be paid in full in cash or such other method permitted by the Administrator consistent with Section 5.4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Additional Rules Applicable to ISOs***. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of grant of the applicable option) of stock with respect to which ISOs first become exercisable by a participant in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, taking into account both Common Stock subject to ISOs under this Plan and stock subject to ISOs under all other plans of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries (or any parent or predecessor corporation to the extent required by and within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder), such options shall be treated as nonqualified

------

stock options. In reducing the number of options treated as ISOs to meet the $100,000 limit, the most recently granted options shall be reduced first. To the extent a reduction of simultaneously granted options is necessary to meet the $100,000 limit, the Administrator may, in the manner and to the extent permitted by law, designate which shares of Common Stock are to be treated as shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO. ISOs may only be granted to employees of the Corporation or one of its subsidiaries (for this purpose, the term "subsidiary" is used as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code, which generally requires an unbroken chain of ownership of at least 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of each subsidiary in the chain beginning with the Corporation and ending with the subsidiary in question). No ISO may be granted to any person who, at the time the option is granted, owns (or is deemed to own under Section 424(d) of the Code) shares of outstanding Common Stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Corporation, unless the exercise price of such option is at least 110% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option and such option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such option is granted. If an otherwise-intended ISO fails to meet the applicable requirements of Section 422 of the Code, the option shall be a nonqualified stock option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Stock Appreciation Rights***. A stock appreciation right or "**SAR**" is a right to receive a payment, in cash and/or Common Stock, equal to the excess of the fair market value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock on the date the SAR is exercised over the "**base price**" of the award, which base price shall be set forth in the applicable award agreement and shall be not less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the SAR. The maximum term of a SAR shall be ten (10) years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Other Awards; Dividend Equivalent Rights***. The other types of awards that may be granted under this Plan include: (a) stock bonuses, restricted stock, performance stock, stock units, restricted stock units, deferred shares, phantom stock or similar rights to purchase or acquire shares, whether at a fixed or variable price (or no price) or fixed or variable ratio related to the Common Stock, and any of which may (but need not) be fully vested at grant or vest upon the passage of time, the occurrence of one or more events, the satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions, or any combination thereof; or (b) cash awards. The types of cash awards that may be granted under this Plan include the opportunity to receive a payment for the achievement of one or more goals established by the Administrator, on such terms as the Administrator may provide, as well as discretionary cash awards. Dividend equivalent rights may be granted as a separate award or in connection with another award under this Plan; provided, however, that dividend equivalent rights may not be granted as to a stock option or SAR granted under this Plan. In addition, any dividends and/or dividend equivalents as to the portion of an award that is subject to unsatisfied vesting requirements will be subject to termination and forfeiture to the same extent as the

------

corresponding portion of the award to which they relate in the event the applicable vesting requirements are not satisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Award Agreements***. Each award shall be evidenced by a written or electronic award agreement or notice in a form approved by the Administrator (an "award agreement"), and, in each case and if required by the Administrator, executed or otherwise electronically accepted by the recipient of the award in such form and manner as the Administrator may require.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Deferrals and Settlements***. Payment of awards may be in the form of cash, Common Stock, other awards or combinations thereof as the Administrator shall determine, and with such restrictions (if any) as it may impose. The Administrator may also require or permit participants to elect to defer the issuance of shares or the settlement of awards in cash under such rules and procedures as it may establish under this Plan. The Administrator may also provide that deferred settlements include the payment or crediting of interest or other earnings on the deferral amounts, or the payment or crediting of dividend equivalents where the deferred amounts are denominated in shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Consideration for Common Stock or Awards***. The purchase price (if any) for any award granted under this Plan or the Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to an award, as applicable, may be paid by means of any lawful consideration as determined by the Administrator, including, without limitation, one or a combination of the following methods:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;services rendered by the recipient of such award;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cash, check payable to the order of the Corporation, or electronic funds transfer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;notice and third party payment in such manner as may be authorized by the Administrator;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the delivery of previously owned shares of Common Stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;by a reduction in the number of shares otherwise deliverable pursuant to the award; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;subject to such procedures as the Administrator may adopt, pursuant to a "cashless exercise" with a third party who provides financing for the purposes of (or who otherwise facilitates) the purchase or exercise of awards.

In no event shall any shares newly-issued by the Corporation be issued for less than the minimum lawful consideration for such shares or for consideration other than consideration permitted by applicable state law. Shares of Common Stock

------

used to satisfy the exercise price of an option shall be valued at their fair market value. The Corporation will not be obligated to deliver any shares unless and until it receives full payment of the exercise or purchase price therefor and any related withholding obligations under Section 8.5 and any other conditions to exercise or purchase have been satisfied. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the applicable award agreement, the Administrator may at any time eliminate or limit a participant's ability to pay any purchase or exercise price of any award or shares by any method other than cash payment to the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Definition of Fair Market Value***. For purposes of this Plan, "fair market value" shall mean, unless otherwise determined or provided by the Administrator in the circumstances, the closing price (in regular trading) for a share of Common Stock on the principal securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trade (the "**Exchange**") for the date in question or, if no sales of Common Stock were reported on the Exchange on that date, the closing price (in regular trading) for a share of Common Stock on the Exchange on the last day preceding the date in question on which sales of Common Stock were reported on the Exchange. The Administrator may, however, provide with respect to one or more awards that the fair market value shall equal the closing price (in regular trading) for a share of Common Stock on the Exchange on the last trading day preceding the date in question or the average of the high and low trading prices of a share of Common Stock on the Exchange for the date in question or the most recent trading day. If the Common Stock is no longer listed or is no longer actively traded on an established securities exchange as of the applicable date, the fair market value of the Common Stock shall be the value as reasonably determined by the Administrator for purposes of the award in the circumstances. The Administrator also may adopt a different methodology for determining fair market value with respect to one or more awards if a different methodology is necessary or advisable to secure any intended favorable tax, legal or other treatment for the particular award(s) (for example, and without limitation, the Administrator may provide that fair market value for purposes of one or more awards will be based on an average of closing prices (or the average of high and low daily trading prices) for a specified period preceding the relevant date).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Transfer Restrictions***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.6.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Limitations on Exercise and Transfer***. Unless otherwise expressly provided in (or pursuant to) this Section 5.6 or required by applicable law: (a) all awards are non-transferable and shall not be subject in any manner to sale, transfer, anticipation, alienation, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge; (b) awards shall be exercised only by the participant; and (c) amounts payable or shares issuable pursuant to any award shall be delivered only to (or for the account of) the participant.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.6.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Exceptions***. The Administrator may permit awards to be exercised by and paid to, or otherwise transferred to, other persons or entities pursuant to such conditions and procedures, including limitations on subsequent transfers, as the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, establish in writing. Any permitted transfer shall be subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and shall not be for value (other than nominal consideration, settlement of marital property rights, or for interests in an entity in which more than 50% of the voting interests are held by the Eligible Person or by the Eligible Person's family members).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.6.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Further Exceptions to Limits on Transfer***. The exercise and transfer restrictions in Section 5.6.1 shall not apply to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;transfers to the Corporation (for example, in connection with the expiration or termination of the award);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the designation of a beneficiary to receive benefits in the event of the participant's death or, if the participant has died, transfers to or exercise by the participant's beneficiary, or, in the absence of a validly designated beneficiary, transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;subject to any applicable limitations on ISOs, transfers to a family member (or former family member) pursuant to a domestic relations order if received by the Administrator;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if the participant has suffered a disability, permitted transfers or exercises on behalf of the participant by his or her legal representative; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the authorization by the Administrator of "cashless exercise" procedures with third parties who provide financing for the purpose of (or who otherwise facilitate) the exercise of awards consistent with applicable laws and any limitations imposed by the Administrator.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*International Awards***. One or more awards may be granted to Eligible Persons who provide services to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries outside of the United States. Any awards granted to such persons may be granted pursuant to the terms and conditions of any applicable sub-plans, if any, appended to this Plan and approved by the Administrator from time to time. The awards so granted need not comply with other specific terms of this Plan, provided that stockholder approval of any deviation from the specific terms of this Plan is not required by applicable law or any applicable listing agency.

**6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE ON AWARDS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*General***. The Administrator shall establish the effect (if any) of a termination of employment or service on the rights and benefits under each award under this

------

Plan and in so doing may make distinctions based upon, inter alia, the cause of termination and type of award. If the participant is not an employee of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, is not a member of the Board, and provides other services to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, the Administrator shall be the sole judge for purposes of this Plan (unless a contract or the award otherwise provides) of whether the participant continues to render services to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries and the date, if any, upon which such services shall be deemed to have terminated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Events Not Deemed Terminations of Employment***. Unless the express policy of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, or the Administrator, otherwise provides, or except as otherwise required by applicable law, the employment relationship shall not be considered terminated in the case of: (a) medical leave, (b) military leave, or (c) any other leave of absence authorized by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, or the Administrator; provided that, unless reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or law or the Administrator otherwise provides, such leave is for a period of not more than three months. In the case of any employee of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries on an approved leave of absence, continued vesting of the award while on leave from the employ of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries may be suspended until the employee returns to service, unless the Administrator otherwise provides or applicable law otherwise requires. In no event shall an award be exercised after the expiration of any applicable maximum term of the award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Effect of Change of Subsidiary Status***. For purposes of this Plan and any award, if an entity ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Corporation a termination of employment or service shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to each Eligible Person in respect of such Subsidiary who does not continue as an Eligible Person in respect of the Corporation or another Subsidiary that continues as such after giving effect to the transaction or other event giving rise to the change in status unless the Subsidiary that is sold, spun-off or otherwise divested (or its successor or a direct or indirect parent of such Subsidiary or successor) assumes the Eligible Person's award(s) in connection with such transaction.

**7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ADJUSTMENTS; ACCELERATION**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Adjustments***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to Section 7.2, upon (or, as may be necessary to effect the adjustment, immediately prior to): any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a stock split in the form of a stock dividend) or reverse stock split; any merger, combination, consolidation, conversion or other reorganization; any spin-off, split-up, or extraordinary dividend distribution in respect of the Common Stock; or any exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation, or any similar, unusual or extraordinary corporate transaction in respect of the Common

------

Stock; then the Administrator shall equitably and proportionately adjust: (1) the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities) that thereafter may be made the subject of awards (including the specific share limits, maximums and numbers of shares set forth elsewhere in this Plan); (2) the number, amount and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to any outstanding awards; (3) the grant, purchase, or exercise price (which term includes the base price of any SAR or similar right) of any outstanding awards; and/or (4) the securities, cash or other property deliverable upon exercise or payment of any outstanding awards, in each case to the extent necessary to preserve (but not increase) the level of incentives intended by this Plan and the then-outstanding awards.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Without limiting the generality of Section 3.4, any good faith determination by the Administrator as to whether an adjustment is required in the circumstances pursuant to this Section 7.1, and the extent and nature of any such adjustment, shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Corporate Transactions - Assumption and Termination of Awards***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon any event in which the Corporation does not survive, or does not survive as a public company in respect of its Common Stock (including, without limitation, a dissolution, merger, combination, consolidation, conversion, exchange of securities, or other reorganization, or a sale of all or substantially all of the business, stock or assets of the Corporation, in any case in connection with which the Corporation does not survive or does not survive as a public company in respect of its Common Stock), then the Administrator may make provision for a cash payment in settlement of, or for the termination, assumption, substitution or exchange of any or all outstanding awards or the cash, securities or property deliverable to the holder of any or all outstanding awards, based upon, to the extent relevant under the circumstances, the distribution or consideration payable to holders of the Common Stock upon or in respect of such event. Upon the occurrence of any event described in the preceding sentence in connection with which the Administrator has made provision for the award to be terminated (and the Administrator has not made a provision for the substitution, assumption, exchange or other continuation or settlement of the award): (1) unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, each then-outstanding option and SAR shall become fully vested, all shares of restricted stock then outstanding shall fully vest free of restrictions, and each other award granted under this Plan that is then outstanding shall become payable to the holder of such award (with any performance goals applicable to the award in each case being deemed met, unless otherwise provided in the award agreement, at the "target" performance level); and (2) each award (including any award or portion thereof that, by its terms, does not accelerate and vest in the circumstances) shall terminate upon the related event; provided that the holder of an option or SAR shall be given reasonable advance notice of the impending termination and a reasonable

------

opportunity to exercise his or her outstanding vested options and SARs (after giving effect to any accelerated vesting required in the circumstances) in accordance with their terms before the termination of such awards (except that in no case shall more than ten days' notice of the impending termination be required and any acceleration of vesting and any exercise of any portion of an award that is so accelerated may be made contingent upon the actual occurrence of the event).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Without limiting the preceding paragraph, in connection with any event referred to in the preceding paragraph or any change in control event defined in any applicable award agreement, the Administrator may, in its discretion, provide for the accelerated vesting of any award or awards as and to the extent determined by the Administrator in the circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For purposes of this Section 7.2, an award shall be deemed to have been "assumed" if (without limiting other circumstances in which an award is assumed) the award continues after an event referred to above in this Section 7.2, and/or is assumed and continued by the surviving entity following such event (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such event, owns the Corporation or all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets directly or through one or more subsidiaries (a "**Parent**")), and confers the right to purchase or receive, as applicable and subject to vesting and the other terms and conditions of the award, for each share of Common Stock subject to the award immediately prior to the event, the consideration (whether cash, shares, or other securities or property) received in the event by the stockholders of the Corporation for each share of Common Stock sold or exchanged in such event (or the consideration received by a majority of the stockholders participating in such event if the stockholders were offered a choice of consideration); provided, however, that if the consideration offered for a share of Common Stock in the event is not solely the ordinary common stock of a successor corporation or a Parent, the Administrator may provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise or payment of the award, for each share subject to the award, to be solely ordinary common stock of the successor corporation or a Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by the stockholders participating in the event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Administrator may adopt such valuation methodologies for outstanding awards as it deems reasonable in the event of a cash or property settlement and, in the case of options, SARs or similar rights, but without limitation on other methodologies, may base such settlement solely upon the excess if any of the per share amount payable upon or in respect of such event over the exercise or base price of the award. In the case of an option, SAR or similar right as to which the per share amount payable upon or in respect of such event is less than or equal to the exercise or base price of the award, the Administrator may terminate such award in connection with an event referred to in this Section 7.2 without any payment in respect of such award.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In any of the events referred to in this Section 7.2, the Administrator may take such action contemplated by this Section 7.2 prior to such event (as opposed to on the occurrence of such event) to the extent that the Administrator deems the action necessary to permit the participant to realize the benefits intended to be conveyed with respect to the underlying shares. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator may deem an acceleration and/or termination to occur immediately prior to the applicable event and, in such circumstances, will reinstate the original terms of the award if an event giving rise to an acceleration and/or termination does not occur.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Without limiting the generality of Section 3.4, any good faith determination by the Administrator pursuant to its authority under this Section 7.2 shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Administrator may override the provisions of this Section 7.2 by express provision in the award agreement and may accord any Eligible Person a right to refuse any acceleration, whether pursuant to the award agreement or otherwise, in such circumstances as the Administrator may approve. The portion of any ISO accelerated in connection with an event referred to in this Section 7.2 (or such other circumstances as may trigger accelerated vesting of the award) shall remain exercisable as an ISO only to the extent the applicable $100,000 limitation on ISOs is not exceeded. To the extent exceeded, the accelerated portion of the option shall be exercisable as a nonqualified stock option under the Code.

**8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OTHER PROVISIONS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Compliance with Laws***. This Plan, the granting and vesting of awards under this Plan, the offer, issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock, and/or the payment of money under this Plan or under awards are subject to compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations (including, but not limited to, state and federal securities law and federal margin requirements) and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. The person acquiring any securities under this Plan will, if requested by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, provide such assurances and representations to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries as the Administrator may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal and accounting requirements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No Rights to Award***. No person shall have any claim or rights to be granted an award (or additional awards, as the case may be) under this Plan, subject to any express contractual rights (set forth in a document other than this Plan) to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No Employment/Service Contract***. Nothing contained in this Plan (or in any other documents under this Plan or in any award) shall confer upon any Eligible

------

Person or other participant any right to continue in the employ or other service of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, constitute any contract or agreement of employment or other service or affect an employee's status as an employee at will, nor shall interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries to change a person's compensation or other benefits, or to terminate his or her employment or other service, with or without cause. Nothing in this Section 8.3, however, is intended to adversely affect any express independent right of such person under a separate employment or service contract other than an award agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Plan Not Funded***. Awards payable under this Plan shall be payable in shares or from the general assets of the Corporation, and no special or separate reserve, fund or deposit shall be made to assure payment of such awards. No participant, beneficiary or other person shall have any right, title or interest in any fund or in any specific asset (including shares of Common Stock, except as expressly otherwise provided) of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries by reason of any award hereunder. Neither the provisions of this Plan (or of any related documents), nor the creation or adoption of this Plan, nor any action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Plan shall create, or be construed to create, a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries and any participant, beneficiary or other person. To the extent that a participant, beneficiary or other person acquires a right to receive payment pursuant to any award hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Corporation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Tax Withholding***. Upon any exercise, vesting, or payment of any award or upon any other tax withholding event with respect to any award, arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation shall be made to provide for any taxes the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries may be required or permitted to withhold with respect to such award event or payment. Such arrangements may include (but are not limited to) any one of (or a combination of) the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries shall have the right to require the participant (or the participant's personal representative or beneficiary, as the case may be) to pay or provide for payment of the amount of any taxes which the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries may be required or permitted to withhold with respect to such award event or payment.

obligations of the Corporation under any award granted under this Plan prior to the effective date of such change. Changes, settlements and other actions contemplated by Section 7 shall not be deemed to constitute changes or amendments for purposes of this Section 8.6.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Privileges of Stock Ownership***. Except as otherwise expressly authorized by the Administrator, a participant shall not be entitled to any privilege of stock ownership as to any shares of Common Stock not actually delivered to and held of record by the participant. Except as expressly required by Section 7.1 or otherwise expressly provided by the Administrator, no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights as a stockholder for which a record date is prior to such date of delivery.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Governing Law; Severability***.

This Plan, the awards, all documents evidencing awards and all other related documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, notwithstanding any Delaware or other conflict of law provision to the contrary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Stock-Based Awards in Substitution for Stock Options or Awards Granted by Other Corporation***. Awards may be granted to Eligible Persons in substitution for or in connection with an assumption of employee stock options, SARs, restricted stock or other stock-based awards granted by other entities to persons who are or who will become Eligible Persons in respect of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, in connection with a distribution, merger or other reorganization by or with the granting entity or an affiliated entity, or the acquisition by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, of all or a substantial part of the stock or assets of the employing entity. The awards so granted need not comply with other specific terms of this Plan, provided the awards reflect adjustments giving effect to the assumption or substitution consistent with any conversion applicable to the common stock (or the securities otherwise subject to the award) in the transaction and any change in the issuer of the security. Any shares that are delivered and any awards that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Corporation, as a result of the assumption by the Corporation of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted or assumed by an acquired company (or previously granted or assumed by a

------

predecessor employer (or direct or indirect parent thereof) in the case of persons that become employed by the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries in connection with a business or asset acquisition or similar transaction) shall not be counted against the Share Limit or other limits on the number of shares available for issuance under this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.11&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Non-Exclusivity of Plan***.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.12&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No Corporate Action Restriction***. The existence of this Plan, the award agreements and the awards granted hereunder shall not limit, affect, or restrict in any way the right or power of the Corporation or any Subsidiary (or any of their respective shareholders, boards of directors or committees thereof (or any subcommittees), as the case may be) to make or authorize: (a) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the capital structure or business of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (b) any merger, amalgamation, consolidation or change in the ownership of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (c) any issue of bonds, debentures, capital, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the capital stock (or the rights thereof) of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (d) any dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (e) any sale or transfer of all or any part of the assets or business of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, (f) any other award, grant, or payment of incentives or other compensation under any other plan or authority (or any other action with respect to any benefit, incentive or compensation), or (g) any other corporate act or proceeding by the Corporation or any Subsidiary. No participant, beneficiary or any other person shall have any claim under any award or award agreement against any member of the Board or the Administrator, or the Corporation or any employees, officers or agents of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, as a result of any such action. Awards need not be structured so as to be deductible for tax purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.13&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Other Company Benefit and Compensation Programs***. Payments and other benefits received by a participant under an award made pursuant to this Plan shall not be deemed a part of a participant's compensation for purposes of the determination of benefits under any other employee welfare or benefit plans or arrangements, if any, provided by the Corporation or any Subsidiary, except where the Administrator expressly otherwise provides or authorizes in writing. Awards under this Plan may be made in addition to, in combination with, as alternatives to or in payment of grants, awards or commitments under any other plans, arrangements or authority of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.14&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Clawback Policy***. The awards granted under this Plan are subject to the terms of the Corporation's recoupment, clawback or similar policy as it may be in effect

------

from time to time, as well as any similar provisions of applicable law, any of which could in certain circumstances require repayment or forfeiture of awards or any shares of Common Stock or other cash or property received with respect to the awards (including any value received from a disposition of the shares acquired upon payment of the awards).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Content and Duration of Subscription Agreements*. Subscription Agreements shall contain the Eligible Employee's authorization and consent to the Corporation's withholding from his or her Compensation the amount of his or her Contributions.

The Corporation shall maintain on its books, or cause to be maintained by a recordkeeper, an Account in the name of each Participant. The percentage (or amount, as applicable) of Compensation elected to be applied as Contributions by a Participant shall be deducted from such Participant's Compensation on each payday during the period for payroll deductions set forth below and such payroll deductions shall be credited to that Participant's Account as soon as administratively practicable after such date. A Participant may not make any additional payments to his or her Account. A Participant's Account shall be reduced by any amounts used to pay the Purchase Price of shares acquired, or by any other amounts distributed pursuant to the terms hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Commencement of Payroll Deductions*. Payroll deductions with respect to an Offering Period shall commence as of the first day of the payroll period which coincides with or immediately follows the applicable Grant Date and shall end on the last day of the payroll period which coincides with or immediately precedes the applicable Purchase Date, unless sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in this Section 7 or until his or her Plan participation terminates pursuant to Section 11.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Withdrawal During an Offering Period*. A Participant may terminate his or her Contributions during an Offering Period (and receive a distribution of the balance of his or her Account in accordance with Section 11) by completing and filing with the Corporation (or its designee), in such form and on such terms as the Committee (or its delegate) may prescribe, a written withdrawal form or applicable electronic withdrawal form which shall be completed by the Participant. Such termination shall be effective as soon as administratively practicable after its receipt by the Corporation. A withdrawal election pursuant to this Section 7(c) with respect to an Offering Period shall only be effective, however, if it is received by the Corporation prior to the Purchase Date of that Offering Period (or such earlier deadline that the Committee may reasonably require to process the withdrawal prior to the Purchase Date). Partial withdrawals of Accounts, and other modifications or suspensions of Subscription Agreements, except as provided in Section 7(d) or 7(e), are not permitted.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Change in Contribution Elections for the Following Offering Period*. A Participant may discontinue, increase, or decrease the level of his or her Contributions (within Plan limits) by completing and filing with the Corporation (or its designee), on such terms as the Committee (or its delegate) may prescribe, a new Subscription Agreement which indicates such election. Subject to any additional timing requirements that the Committee may impose, an election pursuant to this Section 7(d) shall be effective with the first Offering Period that commences after the Corporation's receipt of such election.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Discontinuing Contributions During an Offering Period*. A Participant may discontinue his or her Contributions (but not increase or otherwise decrease the level of his or her Contributions) during an Offering Period, by filing with the Corporation (or its designee), on such terms as the Committee (or its delegate) may prescribe, a new Subscription Agreement which indicates such election. An election pursuant to this Section 7(e) shall be effective no earlier than the first payroll period that starts after the Corporation's receipt of such election. If a Participant elects to discontinue his or her Contributions pursuant to this Section 7(e), the Contributions previously credited to the Participant's Account for that Offering Period shall be used to exercise the Participant's Purchase Option as of the applicable Purchase Date in accordance with Section 9 (unless the Participant makes a timely withdrawal election in accordance with Section 7(c), in which case the Participant's Account will be paid to him or her in cash in accordance with Section 11(a)).

**8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;GRANT OF PURCHASE OPTION**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Grant Date; Number of Shares*. On each Grant Date, each Eligible Employee who is a Participant during that Offering Period shall be granted an Option to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock. The Purchase Option shall be exercised on the Purchase Date. The number of shares subject to the Purchase Option shall be determined by dividing the Participant's Account balance as of the applicable Purchase Date by the Purchase Price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Purchase Price*. The Purchase Price per share of the shares subject to a Purchase Option for an Offering Period shall be the <u>lesser</u> of: (i) 85% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date of that Offering Period; or (ii) 85% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Purchase Date of that Offering Period; provided, however, that the Committee may provide prior to the start of any Offering Period that the Purchase Price for that Offering Period shall be determined by applying a discount amount (not to exceed 15%) to either (1) the Fair Market Value of Common Shares on the Grant Date of the Offering Period, or (2) the Fair Market Value of Common Shares on the Purchase Date of that Offering Period, or (3) the lesser of the Fair Market Value of Common Shares on the Grant Date of the Offering Period or the Fair Market Value of Common Shares on the Purchase Date of that Offering Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the

------

preceding provisions of this Section 8(b), in no event shall the Purchase Price per share be less than the par value of a share of Common Stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Limits on Share Purchases*. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, a person who is otherwise an Eligible Employee shall not be granted any Purchase Option (or any Purchase Option granted shall be subject to compliance with the following limitations) or other right to purchase shares under this Plan to the extent:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it would, if exercised, cause the person to own stock (within the meaning of Section 423(b)(3) of the Code) possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Corporation, or of any Parent, or of any Subsidiary; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;such Purchase Option causes such individual to have rights to purchase stock under this Plan and any other plan of the Corporation, any Parent, or any Subsidiary which is qualified under Section 423 of the Code which accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of the stock of the Corporation, of any Parent, or of any Subsidiary (determined at the time the right to purchase such stock is granted, before giving effect to any discounted purchase price under any such plan) for each calendar year in which such right is outstanding at any time.

For purposes of the foregoing, a right to purchase stock accrues when it first becomes exercisable during the calendar year. In determining whether the stock ownership of an Eligible Employee equals or exceeds the 5% limit set forth above, the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code (relating to attribution of stock ownership) shall apply, and stock which the Eligible Employee may purchase under outstanding options shall be treated as stock owned by the Eligible Employee.

**9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EXERCISE OF PURCHASE OPTION**

Unless a Participant withdraws from an Offering Period pursuant to Section 7(c) or the Participant's Plan participation is terminated as provided in Section 11, his or her Purchase Option for the purchase of shares shall be exercised automatically on the Purchase Date for that Offering Period, without any further action on the Participant's part, and the maximum number of whole shares subject to such Purchase Option (subject to the Individual Limit set forth in Section 4(b) and the limitations contained in Section 8(c)) shall be purchased at the Purchase Price with the balance of such Participant's Account.

If any amount which is not sufficient to purchase a whole share remains in a Participant's Account after the exercise of his or her Purchase Option on the Purchase Date, such amount shall be refunded to such Participant as soon as administratively practicable after

------

such date; provided that the Committee may provide in advance of an Offering Period for any such amount with respect to that Offering Period to be credited to the Participant's Account for the next Offering Period, if he or she is a Participant in such next Offering Period.

If the Share Limit of Section 4(a) is reached, any amount that remains in a Participant's Account after the exercise of his or her Purchase Option on the Purchase Date to purchase the number of Shares that he or she is allocated shall be refunded to the Participant as soon as administratively practicable after such date.

If any amount which exceeds the Individual Limit set forth in Section 4(b) or one of the limitations set forth in Section 8(c) remains in a Participant's Account after the exercise of his or her Purchase Option on the Purchase Date, such amount shall be refunded to the Participant as soon as administratively practicable after such date.

**10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DELIVERY OF SHARES**

As soon as administratively practicable after the Purchase Date, the Corporation shall, in its discretion, either deliver to each Participant a certificate representing the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of his or her Purchase Option, provide for the crediting of such shares in book entry form in the name of the Participant, or provide for an alternative arrangement for the delivery of such shares to a broker or recordkeeping service for the benefit of the Participant. In the event the Corporation is required to obtain from any commission or agency authority to issue any such certificate or otherwise deliver such shares, the Corporation will seek to obtain such authority. If the Corporation is unable to obtain from any such commission or agency authority which counsel for the Corporation deems necessary for the lawful issuance of any such certificate or other delivery of such shares, or if for any other reason the Corporation cannot issue or deliver shares of Common Stock and satisfy Section 21, the Corporation shall be relieved from liability to any Participant except that the Corporation shall return to each Participant to whom such shares cannot be issued or delivered the amount of the balance credited to his or her Account that would have otherwise been used for the purchase of such shares.

**11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT; CHANGE IN ELIGIBLE STATUS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*General*. Except as provided in the next paragraph, if a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee for any reason at any time prior to the last day of an Offering Period in which he or she participates, or if the Participant timely elects to terminate Contributions and withdraw from the Plan pursuant to Section 7(c), such Participant's Account shall be paid to him or her (or, in the event of the Participant's death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 13) in cash, and such Participant's Purchase Option and participation in the Plan shall be automatically terminated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Change in Employment Status or Leave of Absence.* If a Participant (i) ceases to be an Eligible Employee during an Offering Period but remains an employee of

------

the Corporation or a Participating Subsidiary through the Purchase Date, or (ii) during an Offering Period commences a sick leave, military leave, or other leave of absence approved by the Corporation or a Participating Subsidiary, and the leave meets the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.421-1(h)(2) and the Participant is an employee of the Corporation or a Participating Subsidiary or on such leave as of the applicable Purchase Date, such Participant's Contributions shall cease, and the Contributions previously credited to the Participant's Account for that Offering Period shall be used to exercise the Participant's Purchase Option as of the applicable Purchase Date in accordance with Section 9 (unless the Participant makes a timely election to terminate Contributions and withdraw from the Plan in accordance with Section 7(c), in which case such Participant's Account shall be paid to him or her in cash in accordance with Section 11(a)).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Re-Enrollment*. A Participant's termination from Plan participation precludes the Participant from again participating in this Plan during that Offering Period. However, such termination shall not have any effect upon his or her ability to participate in any succeeding Offering Period, provided that the applicable eligibility and participation requirements are again then met. A Participant's termination from Plan participation shall be deemed to be a revocation of that Participant's Subscription Agreement and such Participant must file a new Subscription Agreement to resume Plan participation in any succeeding Offering Period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Change in Subsidiary Status*. For purposes of this Plan, if a Participating Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary, each person employed by that Subsidiary will be deemed to have terminated employment for purposes of this Plan and will no longer be an Eligible Employee, unless the person continues as an Eligible Employee in respect of the Corporation or another Participating Subsidiary.

**12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ADMINISTRATION**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*The Committee*. The Board shall appoint the Committee, which shall be composed of not less than two members of the Board. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Board may, at any time, increase or decrease the number of members of the Committee, may remove from membership on the Committee all or any portion of its members, and may appoint such person or persons as it desires to fill any vacancy existing on the Committee, whether caused by removal, resignation, or otherwise. The Board may also, at any time, assume or change the administration of this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Powers and Duties of the Committee*. The Committee shall administer this Plan and shall have full power and discretion to adopt, amend and rescind any rules it considers desirable and appropriate for the administration of this Plan and not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan (including, without limitation, rules and deadlines for making elections under the Plan, which deadlines may be more restrictive than the deadlines otherwise set forth in this Plan), to further define the

------

terms used in this Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan or the effectuation of its purposes. The Committee shall act by majority vote or by unanimous written consent. No member of the Committee shall be entitled to act on or decide any matter relating solely to himself or herself or solely to any of his or her rights or benefits under this Plan. The Committee shall have full power and discretionary authority to construe and interpret the terms and conditions of this Plan and any agreements defining the rights and obligations of the Corporation, any Subsidiary, and any Participant or other person under this Plan, which construction or interpretation shall be final and binding on all parties including the Corporation, Subsidiaries, Participants and beneficiaries. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Plan to the contrary, the Committee may also adopt rules, procedures, separate offerings, or sub-plans applicable to particular Subsidiaries or locations, which separate offerings or sub-plans may be designed to be outside the scope of Section 423 of the Code and need not comply with the otherwise applicable provisions of this Plan. The Committee may delegate ministerial non-discretionary functions to third parties, including individuals who are officers or employees of the Corporation or Participating Subsidiaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Decisions of the Committee are Binding; Reliance on Experts*. Subject only to compliance with the express provisions hereof, the Board and Committee may act in their absolute discretion in matters within their authority related to this Plan. Any action taken by, or inaction of, the Corporation, any Participating Subsidiary, the Board or the Committee relating or pursuant to this Plan and within its authority hereunder or under applicable law shall be within the absolute discretion of that entity or body and shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons. In making any determination or in taking or not taking any action under this Plan, the Board or Committee, as the case may be, may obtain and may rely on the advice of experts, including professional advisors to the Corporation. No member of the Board or Committee, or officer or agent of the Corporation, will be liable for any action, omission or decision under the Plan taken, made or omitted in good faith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Indemnification*. Neither the Board nor any Committee, nor any member thereof or person acting at the direction thereof, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with this Plan, and all such persons shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement by the Corporation in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted by law and/or under any directors and officers liability insurance coverage that may be in effect from time to time.

------

**13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DEATH BENEFITS**

In the event of the death of a Participant, the Corporation shall deliver such shares and/or cash payable pursuant to the terms hereof to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Corporation), the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the Participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Corporation, then to such other person as the Corporation may designate.

**14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TRANSFERABILITY**

Neither Contributions credited to a Participant's Account nor any Purchase Options or rights with respect to the exercise of Purchase Options or right to receive shares under this Plan may be anticipated, alienated, encumbered, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or as provided in Section 13) by the Participant. Any such attempt at anticipation, alienation, encumbrance, assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect and all amounts shall be paid and all shares shall be delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Plan. Amounts payable or shares deliverable pursuant to this Plan shall be paid or delivered only to (or credited in the name of, as the case may be) the Participant or, in the event of the Participant's death, as provided in Section 13.

The Corporation may require a Participant to hold any shares the Participant acquires under this Plan in a brokerage account identified by the Corporation until the date the shares are transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant, or such earlier time as the Corporation may determine.

**15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;USE OF FUNDS; INTEREST**

All Contributions received or held by the Corporation under this Plan will be included in the general assets of the Corporation and may be used for any corporate purpose. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, no interest will be paid to any Participant or credited to his or her Account under this Plan (in respect of Account balances, refunds of Account balances, or otherwise).

**16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;REPORTS**

Statements shall be provided or made available (in writing or electronically) to Participants as soon as administratively practicable following each Purchase Date. Each Participant's statement shall set forth, as of such Purchase Date, that Participant's Account balance immediately prior to the exercise of his or her Purchase Option, the Purchase Price, the number of whole shares purchased and his or her remaining Account balance, if any.

------

**17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ADJUSTMENTS OF AND CHANGES IN THE STOCK**

Upon or in contemplation of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a stock split in the form of a stock dividend), or reverse stock split; any merger, combination, consolidation, or other reorganization; split-up, spin-off, or any similar extraordinary dividend distribution in respect of the Common Stock (whether in the form of securities or property); any exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation, or any similar, unusual or extraordinary corporate transaction in respect of the Common Stock; or a sale of substantially all the assets of the Corporation as an entirety occurs; then the Committee shall, in such manner, to such extent (if any) and at such time as it deems appropriate and equitable in the circumstances:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;proportionately adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of shares of Common Stock or the number and type of other securities that thereafter may be made the subject of Purchase Options (including the specific maximum and numbers of shares set forth elsewhere in this Plan), (ii) the number, amount and type of shares (or other securities or property) subject to any or all outstanding Purchase Options, (iii) the Purchase Price of any or all outstanding Purchase Options, or (iv) the securities, cash or other property deliverable upon exercise of any outstanding Purchase Options, in each case to the extent necessary to preserve (but not increase) the level of incentives intended by this Plan and the then-outstanding Purchase Options; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;make provision for a cash payment in settlement of, or for the substitution or exchange of, any or all outstanding Purchase Options or the cash, securities or property deliverable to the holder of any or all outstanding Purchase Options based upon the distribution or consideration payable to holders of the Common Stock upon or in respect of such event.

The Committee may adopt such valuation methodologies for outstanding Purchase Options as it deems reasonable in the event of a cash or property settlement and, without limitation on other methodologies, may base such settlement solely upon the excess (if any) of the amount payable upon or in respect of such event over the Purchase Price of the Purchase Option.

In any of such events, the Committee may take such action sufficiently prior to such event to the extent that the Committee deems the action necessary to permit the Participant to realize the benefits intended to be conveyed with respect to the underlying shares in the same manner as is or will be available to stockholders generally.

Without limiting the generality of Section 12, any good faith determination by the Committee as to whether an adjustment is required in the circumstances pursuant to this Section 17, and the extent and nature of any such adjustment, shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

------

**18.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;POSSIBLE EARLY TERMINATION OF PLAN AND PURCHASE OPTIONS**

Upon a dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or any other event described in Section 17 that the Corporation does not survive, or does not survive as a publicly-traded company in respect of its Shares, subject to any provision that has been expressly made by the Board for the survival, substitution, assumption, exchange or other settlement of the Purchase Options that are then outstanding under the Plan, each Offering Period then in progress shall be shortened and a new Purchase Date shall be established by the Board or the Committee (the "**New Purchase Date**"), as of which date the Plan and any Offering Period then in progress shall terminate and all then-outstanding Purchase Options under this Plan shall be automatically exercised in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that the New Purchase Date shall not be more than ten (10) days before the date of the consummation of such dissolution, liquidation or other event. The Purchase Price on the New Purchase Date shall be determined as provided in Section 8(b), and the New Purchase Date shall be treated as the "Purchase Date" for purposes of determining such Purchase Price.

**19.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TERM OF PLAN; AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Effective Date; Termination*. This Plan was approved by the Board as of July 17, 2025 and by stockholders as of July 17, 2025. This Plan shall become effective as of the Effective Date. No new Offering Periods shall commence on or after the tenth (10<sup>th</sup>) anniversary of the Effective Date, and this Plan shall terminate as of the Purchase Date on or immediately following such date unless sooner terminated pursuant to Section 4, Section 18 or this Section 19.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Board Amendment Authority*. The Board may, at any time, terminate or, from time to time, amend, modify or suspend this Plan, in whole or in part, without notice. Stockholder approval for any amendment or modification shall not be required, except to the extent required by law or applicable stock exchange rules, or required under Section 423 of the Code in order to preserve the intended tax consequences of this Plan. No Purchase Options may be granted during any suspension of this Plan or after the termination of this Plan, but the Committee will retain jurisdiction as to Purchase Options then outstanding in accordance with the terms of this Plan. No amendment, modification, or termination pursuant to this Section 19(b) shall, without written consent of the Participant, affect in any manner materially adverse to the Participant any rights or benefits of such Participant or obligations of the Corporation under any Purchase Option granted under this Plan prior to the effective date of such change. Changes contemplated by Section 17 or Section 18 shall not be deemed to constitute changes or amendments requiring Participant consent. Without limiting the generality of the Committee's amendment authority, the Committee shall have the right to designate from time to time the Subsidiaries whose employees may be eligible to participate in this Plan (including, without limitation, any Subsidiary that may become such after the Effective Date), to change the service and other

------

qualification requirements set forth under the definition of Eligible Employee in Section 2, and to change the definition of Compensation set forth in Section 2 (in each case, subject to the requirements of Section 423(b) of the Code and applicable rules and regulations thereunder). Any such change shall not take effect earlier than the first Offering Period that starts on or after the effective date of such change. Any such change shall not constitute an amendment to this Plan requiring stockholder approval.

**20.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NOTICES**

All notices or other communications by a Participant to the Corporation contemplated by this Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form and manner specified by the Committee (or its delegate) at the location, or by the person, designated by the Committee (or its delegate) for that purpose.

**21.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES**

This Plan, the granting of Purchase Options under this Plan and the offer, issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock are subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to state and federal securities laws) and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. The person acquiring any securities under this Plan will, if requested by the Corporation and as a condition precedent to the exercise of his or her Purchase Option, provide such assurances and representations to the Corporation as the Committee may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal and accounting requirements.

**22.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PLAN CONSTRUCTION**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Section 16*. It is the intent of the Corporation that transactions involving Purchase Options under this Plan (other than "Discretionary Transactions" as that term is defined in Rule 16b-3(b)(1) promulgated by the Commission under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, to the extent there are any Discretionary Transactions under this Plan), in the case of Participants who are or may be subject to the prohibitions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3(c) promulgated by the Commission under Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the maximum extent possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall have no liability to any Participant for Section 16 consequences of Purchase Options or other events with respect to this Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Section 423*. Except as the Committee may expressly provide in the case of one or more separate offerings or sub-plans adopted pursuant to Section 12(b), this Plan and Purchase Options are intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Interpretation.* If any provision of this Plan or of any Purchase Option would otherwise frustrate or conflict with the intents expressed above, that provision to the extent possible shall be interpreted so as to avoid such conflict. If the conflict remains irreconcilable, the Committee may disregard the provision if it concludes that to do so furthers the interest of the Corporation and is consistent with the purposes of this Plan as to such persons in the circumstances.

**23.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EMPLOYEES' RIGHTS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No Employment Rights*. Nothing in this Plan (or in any Subscription Agreement or other document related to this Plan) will confer upon any Eligible Employee or Participant any right to continue in the employ or other service of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, constitute any contract or agreement of employment or other service or effect an employee's status as an employee at will, nor shall interfere in any way with the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to change such person's compensation or other benefits or to terminate his or her employment or other service, with or without cause. Nothing contained in this Section 23(a), however, is intended to adversely affect any express independent right of any such person under a separate employment or service contract other than a Subscription Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No Rights to Assets of the Corporation*. No Participant or other person will have any right, title or interest in any fund or in any specific asset (including shares of Common Stock) of the Corporation or any Subsidiary by reason of any Purchase Option hereunder. Neither the provisions of this Plan (or of any Subscription Agreement or other document related to this Plan), nor the creation or adoption of this Plan, nor any action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Plan will create, or be construed to create, a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Corporation or any Subsidiary, on the one hand, and any Participant or other person, on the other hand. To the extent that a Participant or other person acquires a right to receive payment pursuant to this Plan, such right will be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Corporation. No special or separate reserve, fund or deposit will be made to assure any such payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No Stockholder Rights*. A Participant will not be entitled to any privilege of stock ownership as to any Shares not actually delivered to and held of record by the Participant. Except as expressly required by Section 17, no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights as a stockholder for which a record date is prior to such date of delivery.

**24.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MISCELLANEOUS**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Governing Law; Severability*. This Plan, the Purchase Options, Subscription Agreements, and other documents related to this Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware. If any provision

------

shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Plan shall continue in effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Captions and Headings*. Captions and headings are given to the sections of this Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such captions and headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction of interpretation of this Plan or any provision hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No Effect on Other Plans or Corporate Authority*. The adoption of this Plan shall not affect any other Corporation or Subsidiary compensation or incentive plans in effect. Nothing in this Plan will limit or be deemed to limit the authority of the Board or Committee (i) to establish any other forms of incentives or compensation for employees of the Corporation or any Subsidiary (with or without reference to the Common Stock), or (ii) to grant or assume options (outside the scope of and in addition to those contemplated by this Plan) in connection with any proper corporate purpose; to the extent consistent with any other plan or authority.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*No Effect on Other Compensation*. Benefits received by a Participant under a Purchase Option granted pursuant to this Plan shall not be deemed a part of the Participant's compensation for purposes of the determination of benefits under any other employee welfare or benefit plans or arrangements, if any, provided by the Corporation or any Subsidiary, except where the Committee or the Board (or the Board of Directors of the Subsidiary that sponsors such plan or arrangement, as applicable) expressly otherwise provides in writing.

**25.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TAX WITHHOLDING**

Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Corporation may deduct from a Participant's Account balance as of a Purchase Date, before the exercise of the Participant's Purchase Option is given effect on such date, the amount of any taxes which the Corporation reasonably determines it or any Subsidiary may be required to withhold with respect to such exercise. In such event, the maximum number of whole shares of Common Stock subject to such Purchase Option (subject to the other limits set forth in this Plan) shall be purchased at the Purchase Price with the balance of the Participant's Account (after reduction for the tax withholding amount).

Should the Corporation for any reason be unable, or elect not to, satisfy its or any Subsidiary's tax withholding obligations in the manner described in the preceding paragraph with respect to a Participant's exercise of a Purchase Option, or should the Corporation or any Subsidiary reasonably determine that it or an affiliated entity has a tax withholding obligation with respect to a disposition of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Purchase Option prior to satisfaction of the holding period requirements of Section 423 of the Code or at any other time in respect of a Participant's participation in this Plan, the Corporation or Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have the right at its option to (i) require the Participant to pay or provide for payment of the amount of any

------

taxes which the Corporation or Subsidiary reasonably determines that it or any affiliate is required to withhold with respect to such event or (ii) deduct from the Participant's Account or from any amount otherwise payable to or for the account of the Participant the amount of any taxes which the Corporation or Subsidiary reasonably determines that it or an affiliate is required to withhold with respect to such event.

**26.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NOTICE OF SALE**

Any person who has acquired shares under this Plan shall give prompt written notice to the Corporation of any sale or other transfer of the shares if such sale or transfer occurs (1) within the two-year period after the Grant Date of the Offering Period with respect to which such shares were acquired, or (2) within the twelve-month period after the Purchase Date of the Offering Period with respect to which such shares were acquired.

## Exhibit 10.4

**Exhibit 10.4**

**HEARTFLOW, INC.**

**SENIOR LEADERSHIP SEVERANCE POLICY**

1.<u>Purpose</u>.

1.1This Senior Leadership Severance Policy (this "Policy") establishes criteria and conditions for the provision of termination benefits to Participants (as defined below) of Heartflow, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") upon a termination of their employment under certain circumstances.

1.2This Policy is effective as of July 17, 2025 (the "Effective Date"), and, with the exception of Section 4.3 below, it hereby supersedes and replaces any and all prior severance policies (including any severance provisions of a Participant's employment agreement) of the Company. This Policy shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of Heartflow, Inc.'s Board of the Directors (the "Board"), or its delegate with respect to any participant who is not an "officer" as defined in Rule 16a-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (collectively, the "Administrator").

1.3This Policy is designed to be an "employee welfare benefit plan," as defined in Section 3(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and accordingly, this Policy is governed by ERISA. This document constitutes both the official plan document and the required summary plan description under ERISA.

2.<u>Eligibility</u>.

2.1This Policy applies to each full-time employee of the Company serving as a senior vice president or above (each, a "Participant").

2.2In the event a Participant's employment with the Company is involuntarily terminated other than for "Cause" (and other than due to death or Disability) or a Participant resigns his or her employment with the Company for "Good Reason" (a "Qualifying Termination"), in each case, as defined below, provided that the Participant complies with the requirements of Section 5 hereof, the Participant will be eligible to receive the severance benefits as set forth in Section 4.1 below. In the event of a Participant's Qualifying Termination occurring within three (3) months prior to or twelve (12) months following a Change in Control (as defined below) (a "Qualifying CIC Termination"), provided that the Participant complies with the requirements of Section 5 hereof, the Participant will be eligible to receive the severance benefits as set forth in Section 4.2 below.

3.<u>Definitions</u>.

3.1"Accrued Obligations" for purposes of this Policy shall mean (i) any base salary that had accrued but had not been paid (including accrued and unpaid vacation time) on or before the date of the Participant's termination of employment (the "Termination Date") and (ii) any reimbursement due to the Participant for expenses reasonably incurred by the Participant on or

------

before the Termination Date and documented and pre-approved, to the extent applicable, in accordance with the Company's expense reimbursement policies in effect at the applicable time.

3.2"Cause" for purposes of this Policy shall mean: (i) an act of dishonesty made by a Participant in connection with a Participant's services to the Company, (ii) a Participant's conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or any crime involving fraud, embezzlement or any other act of moral turpitude, (iii) a Participant's gross misconduct, (iv) a Participant's unauthorized use or disclosure of any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or any other party to whom a Participant owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of a Participant's relationship with the Company; (v) a Participant's willful breach of any obligations under any written agreement or covenant with the Company; (vi) a Participant's continued failure to perform his or her duties to the Company after a Participant has received a written demand of performance from the Company which specifically sets forth the factual basis for the Company's belief that a Participant has not substantially performed a Participant's duties and has failed to cure such non-performance to the Company's satisfaction within 10 business days after receiving such notice, or (vii) a Participant's willful violation of any of a Participant's statutory or common law duties to the Company.

3.3"Change in Control" for purposes of this Policy shall mean that one or more of the following have occurred: (i) consummation of a change in the ownership of Heartflow, Inc. which occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group ("Person"), acquires ownership of the stock of Heartflow, Inc. that, together with the stock held by such Person, constitutes more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of Heartflow, Inc., (ii) if Heartflow, Inc. has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), a change in the effective control of Heartflow, Inc. which occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election (and for purposes of this clause (ii), if any Person is considered to be in effective control of Heartflow, Inc., the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered a Change in Control, or (iii) a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company's assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For purposes of this subsection (iii), gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. For purposes of this definition, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company. Further and for the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change in Control if: (A) its sole purpose is to change the state of Heartflow Inc.'s incorporation, or (B) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held Heartflow Inc.'s securities immediately before such transaction.

------

A Participant will not resign based on Good Reason, and no such resignation based on Good Reason shall be effective, without first providing the Company with written notice of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for Good Reason within 90 days of the initial existence of the grounds for Good Reason and a reasonable cure period of not less than 30 days following the date of such notice.

4.3A Participant with an employment or other agreement that provide for severance benefits will receive such benefits in lieu of the benefits provided under this Policy unless the benefits applicable to a Participant provided under this Policy exceed the aggregate benefits payable under such agreement(s), in which case a Participant will receive the severance benefits payable hereunder in lieu of receiving the severance benefits under such agreement(s).

5.<u>Conditions to Receipt of Severance</u>.

5.1All severance offered under this Policy will be expressly conditioned on a Participant's (i) execution and non-revocation, in accordance with the timing and other requirements set forth in this paragraph, of a written separation agreement in a form to be provided by the Company that includes a full release and waiver of any and all claims and potential claims of Participant, along with other standard provisions (other than any new or additional restrictive covenants) in a form acceptable to the Company (the "Separation Agreement"), and (ii) adherence to any restrictive covenants entered into with the Company to which the Participant is bound. The Company shall provide the final form of Separation Agreement to a Participant not later than seven (7) days following the Participant's Termination Date, and a Participant shall be required to execute and return the Separation Agreement to the Company within twenty-one (21) days (or forty-five (45) days if such longer period of time is required to make the Separation Agreement maximally enforceable under applicable law) after being provided the Separation Agreement.

6.<u>Additional Terms</u>.

6.1Like all other policies, the Company reserves the right to revise or terminate this Policy at its discretion and without advance notice, provided that this Policy may not be amended in any way that is detrimental to a Participant following a Change in Control. Nothing in this Policy shall be interpreted as altering the at-will status of employment, nor as creating a contract, express or implied. This Policy will at all times be entirely unfunded and no Participant will have any interest in any particular asset of the Company by reason of any right to receive benefits under this Policy and any such Participant will have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to any rights under this Policy. This Policy will be

------

governed by and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, except to the extent such laws are preempted by federal law, including ERISA. Nothing in this Policy prohibits a Participant from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. A Participant does not need the prior authorization of the Company's Legal Department to make any such reports or disclosures and is not required to notify the Company that a Participant has made such reports or disclosures.

7.<u>Tax Provisions</u>.

7.1All benefits provided under this Policy will be subject to any required federal, state and local tax withholding and deductions. This Policy and any severance benefits payable under it are intended to be exempt from or, if not exempt, to otherwise comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, where applicable, and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with that intention. Notwithstanding any provision of this Policy to the contrary, to the extent that a payment or benefit provided hereunder is subject to Section 409A and payable on account of a Participant's "separation from service" (as defined in Section 409A and the related regulations), such payment will be delayed for a period of six months after the Participant's separation date (or if earlier within thirty (30) days of the Participant's date of death following the date of such separation) if the Participant is a "specified employee" (as defined in Section 409A and the related regulations) of the Company, as determined in accordance with the regulations issued under Section 409A and the procedures established by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision will not apply to (i) all payments on separation from service that satisfy the short-term deferral rule of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4), (ii) to the portion of the payments on separation from service that satisfy the requirements for separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), and (iii) to any payments that are otherwise exempt from the six month delay requirement of the Treasury Regulations under Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, a termination of employment will not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of a payment of amounts or benefits under this Policy upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A and, for purposes of this Policy, references to a "resignation," "termination," "termination of employment," or like terms will mean a separation from service to the extent required. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each payment made under this Policy will be designated as a "separate payment" within the meaning of the Section 409A.

7.2Notwithstanding anything contained in this Policy to the contrary, to the extent that the payments and benefits provided under this Policy and benefits provided to, or for the benefit of, the Participant under any other Company plan or agreement (such payments or benefits are collectively referred to as the "Benefits") would be subject to the excise tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Benefits shall be reduced (but not below zero) if and to the extent that a reduction in the

------

Benefits would result in a Participant retaining a larger amount, on an after-tax basis (taking into account federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax), than if a Participant received all of the Benefits (such reduced amount is referred to hereinafter as the "Limited Benefit Amount").

8.<u>Administration</u>.

8.1The Administrator will be empowered to construe and interpret the provisions of this Policy and to perform and exercise all of the duties and powers granted to it under the terms of this Policy, including the determination of benefits payable hereunder. The Administrator may adopt such rules and regulations for the administration of this Policy as are consistent with the terms hereof. All interpretations and decisions made (both as to law and fact) and other action taken by the Administrator with respect to this Policy will be conclusive and binding upon all parties having or claiming to have an interest under this Policy. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrator will have sole discretion and authority to decide any factual or interpretative issues that may arise in connection with its administration of this Policy (including without limitation any determination as to claims for benefits hereunder), and the Administrator's exercise of such authority shall be conclusive and binding on all affected parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of ERISA, the Administrator will be the "named fiduciary" of this Policy.

9.<u>Claims and Review</u>.

9.1All inquiries and claims respecting this Policy must be made in writing and directed to the Administrator or the Administrator's designee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)In the case of a claim respecting a benefit, a written determination allowing or denying the claim shall be furnished to the claimant within ninety (90) days following receipt of the claim (unless the Administrator determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing such claim, in which case the Administrator will furnish the claimant written notice of such extension within the initial 90-day period, which shall set forth the special circumstances and the date by which the Administrator expects to render a determination). A denial or partial denial of a claim shall be dated (the "Determination Date") and signed by the Company and shall clearly set forth the following information in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)a specific reference to pertinent Policy provisions on which the denial is based;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)an explanation of the claim review procedure and the time limits applicable thereto, including a statement of the claimant's right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 following denial.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)A claimant may obtain review of an adverse determination by filing a written notice of appeal with the Administrator within sixty (60) days after the Determination Date. The Administrator shall then appoint one or more persons who shall conduct a full and fair review. As part of such review, the claimant shall have the right:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)to submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)to be provided, upon the claimant's request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant's claim for benefits; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)to be provided a review taking into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)A decision shall be rendered no more than sixty (60) days after the request for review of an adverse determination (unless the Administrator determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing such claim, in which case the Administrator will furnish the claimant written notice of such extension within the initial 60-day period, which shall set forth the special circumstances and the date by which the Administrator expects to render a determination). The decision shall (i) set forth findings of fact and the specific reasons for the decision written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, (ii) contain specific reference to pertinent Policy provisions on which the decision is based, and (iii) provide that, upon the claimant's request and free of charge, the claimant shall be granted reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant's claim for benefits.

9.2The Administrator may appoint any person or persons, whether or not connected with the Company, to review a claim. All applicable governmental regulations regarding claims and review shall be observed by the Company in connection with its administration of this Policy.

10.<u>Statement of ERISA Rights</u>.

10.1Employees are entitled to certain rights and protections under ERISA. ERISA provides that all employees eligible to participate under this Policy shall be entitled to:

The Company may make a reasonable charge for the copies.

10.2In addition to creating rights for eligible employees, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of this Policy. The people who operate this Policy, called "fiduciaries," have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of eligible employees.

10.3Neither the Company nor any other person may discriminate against an employee in any way to prevent him or her from obtaining benefits or exercising his or her rights under ERISA.

10.4If a claim for benefits is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, an eligible employee has a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules. The employee has the right to have the Company review and reconsider the employee's claim.

10.5If a Participant has any questions about this Section 10 or about his or her rights under ERISA, the Participant should contact the nearest office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in the telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor at 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210.

**<u>Cash Compensation</u>**

Each non-employee director will be entitled to an annual cash retainer while serving on the Board in the amount set forth above (the "**Annual Cash Retainer**"). A non-employee director who serves as the Chairperson of the Board will be entitled to an additional annual cash retainer while serving in that position in the amount set forth above (the "**Annual Chairperson Retainer**").

------

arrears, and will be pro-rated if a non-employee director serves (or serves in the corresponding position, as the case may be) for only a portion of the calendar quarter (with the proration based on the number of calendar days in the quarter that the director served as a non-employee director or held the particular position, as the case may be).

**<u>Equity Awards</u>**

*<u>Annual Equity Awards for Continuing Board Members</u>*

On the date of the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") and on the date of each annual meeting of the Company's stockholders thereafter, each non-employee director then in office will automatically be granted an annual equity award with a value equal to that set forth in the table above, which award shall be one hundred percent (100%) in nonstatutory stock options (the "**Annual Equity Award**"). The number of stock options underlying the Annual Equity Award will be determined on the date of grant by dividing the Annual Equity Award value by the fair value of a stock option calculated using the same pricing model and assumptions used in the Company's financial statements and the per-share closing price of a share of the Company's common stock ("**Common Stock**") on the date of the IPO or the trailing 20 trading day average closing stock price of a share of Common Stock on the date of the annual meeting, as applicable. Subject to the non-employee director's continued service, the Annual Equity Award will vest in one installment on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Should the annual meeting of the Company's stockholders in the year following the year in which the Annual Equity Award was granted occur prior to the vesting date of the Annual Equity Award, the outstanding and unvested portion of the Annual Equity Award will vest on the day prior to that annual meeting. In the event that more than one annual meeting of the Company's stockholders occurs during a given fiscal year, Annual Equity Awards will be made only in connection with the first such meeting to occur in that year.

*<u>Equity Awards for New Board Members</u>*

For each new non-employee director appointed or elected to the Board (or any non-employee director serving on the Board prior to the IPO who has not received compensation for such services prior to such date), on the date that the new non-employee director first becomes a member of the Board or the date of the IPO, as applicable, the new non-employee director will automatically be granted an equity award with a value equal to that set forth in the table above, which award shall be one hundred percent (100%) in nonstatutory stock options (the "**New Director Equity Award**"), with the number of stock options subject to such New Director Equity Award to be determined in the same manner as described above with respect to Annual Equity Awards.

**<u>LEASE</u>**

This Lease (together with the Basic Lease Information and the Exhibits, which are hereby incorporated into the Lease by this reference, collectively, the "**Lease**") is made as of the date specified in the Basic Lease Information, by and between MV CAMPUS OWNER, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("**Landlord**"), and HEARTFLOW, INC., a Delaware corporation ("**Tenant**"), who hereby agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Lease of Premises</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Lease of Premises</u>. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, for the Lease Term (as defined below) and subject to the covenants to be performed by Tenant, those certain premises (the "**Premises**") as described in the Basic Lease Information located in that certain building described in the Basic Lease Information (the "**Building**") located on that certain tract of land (the "**Land**") more particularly described on <u>Exhibit A</u> attached hereto. The Premises are outlined on the floor plan attached hereto as <u>Exhibit B-l</u>. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right and privilege to use the Common Areas of the Project in common with other tenants in the Project. The "**Common Areas**" shall mean all areas, improvements, space, and special services, if any, within the Building or on the Land made available by Landlord from time to time, if at all, for the common or joint use and benefit of all tenants, customers, and invitees of the Building, including, without limitation, those parking areas, parking garages and facilities, access roads, service drives, service areas, driveways, entrances, exits and other means of access, retaining walls, landscaped areas, truck serviceways, loading docks or ramps, pedestrian walkways, overstreet walkways, connecting malls, atriums, walls, ceilings, patios, courtyards, garden areas, plaza areas, park areas, concourses, ramps, sidewalks, corridors, washrooms, signs, maintenance buildings, utility buildings, hallways, lobbies, elevators, elevator foyers, escalators, stairs, common window areas, and trash, garbage or rubbish areas, but specifically excluding any space made available exclusively for the use or benefit of other tenants at the Project. Landlord or its successors or assigns hereby reserve the right from time to time in its sole discretion to change or modify the size, use, shape, location or nature of any of the Project and/or the Common Areas other than the Premises (except as otherwise permitted hereunder), or eliminate them altogether, all without any liability to Tenant, so long as Tenant's access to, and use of, the Premises is not materially impaired. There is no easement for light, view or air included in the Premises or being granted hereunder. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease and in the Work Letter attached hereto as <u>Exhibit C</u> (the "**Work Letter**"), Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement, work or services related to the Premises or the Project. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation or warranty regarding the condition of the Premises, the Building, the Common Areas or the Project except as specifically set forth in this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Calculation of RSF</u>. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant hereby stipulate and agree that the RSF of the Premises, the Building and the Project are as set forth in the Basic Lease Information. The RSF shall not be subject to recalculation, except with respect to new construction, additions or alterations which increase the floor area of the Premises or the Project, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Tenant Requirements</u>. Concurrent with the execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the following: (i)the Advance Rent (as described in the Basic Lease Information), (ii) the Letter of Credit (as described in the Basic Lease Information), (iii) policies of insurance or duly executed certificates of insurance with respect thereto in accordance with <u>Section 15</u> below.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Term.</u>

The term of this Lease ("**Lease Term**") shall commence on the Lease Commencement Date and, unless sooner terminated as provided in this Lease, shall end on the expiration of the period designated in the Lease Term above ("**Expiration Date**"). However, if the Expiration Date would not otherwise fall on the last day of a calendar month, then the Expiration Date shall be the last day of the calendar month in which the Expiration Date would otherwise occur.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Possession</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises on the Delivery Date with the mechanical, electrical and HVAC systems serving the Premises (the "**Building Systems**") in good condition (herein, the "**Delivery Condition**". No delay in delivery of possession of the Premises shall operate to extend the term of this Lease or amend Tenant's obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that the Rent Commencement Date shall be delayed day for day for each day after the Delivery Date that Landlord does not deliver the Premises to Tenant. In the event that as of the Delivery Date (i) the Building Systems are not in the Delivery Condition and (ii) Tenant delivers to Landlord written notice of the existence of the item or items not in the Delivery Condition (the "**Delivery Condition Notice**") by the date which is ninety (90) days after the Delivery Date (the "**Delivery Condition Outside Date**"), then Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole cost and expense which expense shall not be included in Additional Rental or otherwise chargeable to Tenant, do that which is necessary to put the applicable components of the Building Systems described in the Delivery Notice into the Delivery Condition within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of the Delivery Notice; provided, however, that to the extent any such failure in the Delivery Condition is caused by the Tenant Improvements to be constructed in the Premises pursuant to **<u>Exhibit C</u>**, then Tenant shall perform such work at Tenant's sole cost and expense. If Tenant fails to deliver the Delivery Condition Notice to Landlord on or prior to the Delivery Condition Outside Date, Landlord shall have no obligation to perform the work described in the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 3(a)</u>; provided that Landlord shall remain responsible for making all alterations and improvements which are Landlord's responsibility to make pursuant to <u>Section 13(a)</u> below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant shall have the right to occupy the Premises during the period from the Delivery Date until the day before the Lease Commencement Date (the "**Beneficial Occupancy Period**"), provided that (i) Tenant has accepted the Premises and shall have confirmed same in a writing delivered to Landlord, and (ii) all of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply, including, without limitation, Tenant's obligation to pay to Landlord all sums and charges required to be paid by Tenant

------

under this Lease, including Tenant's payment of all Additional Rental from and after the Additional Rental Commencement Date pursuant to <u>Section 4(a)</u> below, as though the Rent Commencement Date had occurred (although the Rent Commencement Date shall not actually occur until the occurrence of the same pursuant to the terms set forth in the Basic Lease Information) upon such occupancy of any portion of the Premises by Tenant; provided however, during such Beneficial Occupancy Period, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Base Rental until the Rent Commencement Date actually occurs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as set forth herein, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it has inspected the Premises and agrees to accept the same on the Delivery Date, "AS IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS". TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LANDLORD HAS NOT MADE, AND WILL NOT MAKE, NOR SHALL LANDLORD BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE, ANY WARRANTIES TO TENANT WITH RESPECT TO THE QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION OF ANY LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS OR TENANT FINISH WITHIN THE PREMISES OR AS TO THE CONDITION OF THEPREMISES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION AS TO (i) ITS FITNESS, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, (ii) THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, (iii) THE EXISTENCE OF ANY DEFECT, LATENT OR PATENT, (iv) LANDLORD'S TITLE THERETO, (v) VALUE, (vi) COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS, (vii) LOCATION, (viii) USE, (ix) CONDITION, (x) MERCHANTABILITY, (xi) QUALITY, (xii) DESCRIPTION, (xiii) DURABILITY (xiv) OPERATION, (xv) THE EXISTENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE, HAZARDOUS CONDITION OR HAZARDOUS ACTIVITY OR (xvi) COMPLIANCE OF THE PREMISES WITH ANY REGULATIONS OR EASEMENT AGREEMENTS; AND ALL RISKS INCIDENT THERETO ARE TO BE BORNE BY TENANT. TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PREMISES IS OF ITS SELECTION AND TO ITS SPECIFICATIONS AND THAT THE PREMISES HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY TENANT AND IS SATISFACTORY TO IT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY DEFECT OR DEFICIENCY IN ANY OF THE PREMISES OF ANY NATURE, WHETHER LATENT OR PATENT, LANDLORD SHALL NOT HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY WITH RESPECT THERETO OR FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT). THE PROVISIONS OF THIS <u>SECTION 3(c)</u> HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATED AND ARE INTENDED TO BE A COMPLETE EXCLUSION AND NEGATION OF ANY WARRANTIES BY LANDLORD, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE PREMISES, ARISING PURSUANT TO THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE OR ANY OTHER LAW NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT OR ARISING OTHERWISE. TENANT'S OBLIGATION TO PAY RENT UNDER THIS LEASE IS NOT DEPENDENT UPON THE CONDITION OF THE PREMISES.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all laws, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations, orders and other requirements of any government or public authority now in force or which may hereafter be in force, with all requirements of any board of fire underwriters or similar body now or hereafter constituted, and with all directions, temporary and permanent certificates of occupancy and other relevant rules and regulations of interpretations thereof issued pursuant to any law by any governmental agency or officer, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (as amended) (collectively, "**Laws**"), insofar as any of the foregoing relate to or are required by the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises or the operation, use or maintenance of any personal property, trade fixtures, machinery, equipment or improvements in the Premises. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of either party in any judicial action, regardless of whether the other party is a party thereto, that such party has violated any of the foregoing Laws shall be conclusive of that fact as between Landlord and Tenant.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Rental Payments; Advance Rent</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Commencing on the earlier of (i) Lease Commencement Date and (ii) the date that Tenant commences business operations in the Premises (herein, the "**Additional Rental Commencement Date**"), and continuing throughout the Lease Term, Tenant hereby agrees to pay all Rent due and payable under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Base Rental shall not be due or payable by Tenant until the Rent Commencement Date. Tenant's Operating Expense Rental, together with any and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, including without limitation any and all other sums that may become due by reason of any default of Tenant or failure on Tenant's part to comply with the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "**Additional Rental,**" and the Base Rental and the Additional Rental are herein collectively referred to as "**Rent.**" Base Rental and Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental shall be due and payable in twelve (12) equal installments (subject to Landlord's right to vary Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental pursuant to <u>Section 6(a)</u>) on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on the Lease Commencement Date and continuing thereafter throughout the Lease Term and any extensions or renewals thereof. Tenant hereby agrees to pay such Rent to Landlord at Landlord's address as provided herein (or such other address as Landlord designates from time to time) monthly in advance. Tenant shall pay all Rent and other sums of money which are due and payable by Tenant to Landlord at the times and in the manner provided in this Lease, without demand, set off, counterclaim or abatement (except as specifically provided to the contrary herein).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant shall deposit with Landlord upon execution of this Lease the sum set forth under "Advance Rent" in the Basic Lease Information. Such amount shall be applied by Landlord to the first monthly installment of Base Rental following the Rent Commencement Date as it becomes due hereunder. In the event Tenant fails to take possession of the Premises when required or otherwise fails to comply with any of Tenant's obligations or warranties hereunder, the Advance Rent shall be retained by Landlord for application in reduction, but not in satisfaction, of damages suffered by Landlord as a result of Tenant's breach. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Advance Rent separate from its general accounts, or to pay interest thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Base Rental</u>.

From and after the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a base monthly rental (herein called "**Base Rental**") equal to the Base Rental set forth in the Basic Lease Information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Additional Rental</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For purposes of this Lease, "**Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental**" means Landlord's reasonable estimate of Tenant's Operating Expense Rental for the initial period of the Lease Term from the Lease Commencement Date until the end of the first calendar year of the Lease Term, and for all subsequent calendar years or portions thereof occurring during the balance of the Lease Term. If at any time it reasonably appears to Landlord that Tenant's Operating Expense Rental for the current calendar year will vary from Landlord's estimate, Landlord shall have the right to reasonably revise its estimate for such year by notice to Tenant and subsequent payments by Tenant for such year shall be based upon such revised estimate. Failure to make such a revision shall not prejudice Landlord's right to collect the full amount of Tenant's Operating Expense Rental. Prior to the Lease Commencement Date and thereafter prior to the beginning of each calendar year during the Lease Term, including any extensions thereof, Landlord shall present to Tenant a statement of Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental for such calendar year; provided, however, that if such statement is not given prior to the beginning of any

------

calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay during the next ensuing calendar year on the same basis as in the prior calendar year until the month after such statement is delivered to Tenant. Commencing with the first day of the calendar month following the month in which the Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental was delivered to Tenant, Tenant shall pay Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental (less amounts, if any, previously paid toward such excess for such year) to Landlord in equal monthly installments over the remainder of such calendar year in advance on the first day of each month.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For purposes of this Lease, "**Tenant's Operating Expense Rental**" means for each calendar year (or portion thereof) during the Lease Term Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses (as defined below). "**Expense Year**" means each calendar year during the Lease Term and each portion of a calendar year at the beginning and end of the Lease Term. Landlord, upon notice to Tenant, may change the Expense Year from time to time to any other twelve (12) consecutive-month period. In the event of any such change, Tenant's Operating Expense Rental shall be equitably adjusted for any Expense Year involved in any change. "**Tenant's Share**" as it relates to Operating Expenses for the Building shall be determined by dividing the RSF of the Premises by the total number of RSF in the Building, expressed as a percentage. "**Tenant's Share**" as it relates to Operating Expenses for the Project other than the Building shall be determined by dividing the RSF of the Premises by the total number of RSF in the Project, expressed as a percentage. In the event during any Expense Year the Building is less than one hundred percent (100%) occupied on an average annualized basis, Operating Expenses that vary with occupancy of the Building ("**Variable Operating Expenses**") shall be adjusted to reflect the Operating Expenses of the Building as though they were one hundred percent (100%) occupied for such year on an average annualized basis, and the increase or decrease in the sums owed pursuant to this <u>Section 6</u> shall be based upon such Operating Expenses as so adjusted. Therefore, if the Variable Operating Expenses actually incurred by Landlord are lower than would be incurred if at least than one hundred percent (100%) of the Building were occupied or if Landlord is not furnishing any particular item(s) of work or services (the cost of which would otherwise be included within Operating Expenses) to portions of the Building because (A) such portions are not occupied, (B) such item of work or services is not required or desired by the tenant of such portion and the same is not included in such tenant's Operating Expenses under its lease, or (C) such tenant is itself obtaining such item of work or services and the same is not included in such tenant's Operating Expenses under its lease, then appropriate adjustments shall be made to determine Variable Operating Expenses for such calendar year as though the Building were actually occupied to the extent less than one hundred percent (100%) of the number of RSF in the Building and as though Landlord had furnished such item of work or services. For the purposes of calculating any management fee payable as part of Operating Expenses, the monthly Base Rental due commencing on the Additional Rental Commencement date shall be deemed to be the applicable amount as set forth in the Basic Lease Information for the first payment of Base Rental hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Within one hundred fifty (150) days after the end of (i) the calendar year in which the Lease Commencement Date occurs and (ii) each Expense Year thereafter during the Lease Term, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall provide Tenant a statement showing the Operating Expenses for said Expense Year, as prepared by Landlord, and a statement prepared by Landlord comparing Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental with Tenant's Operating Expense Rental (the "**Reconciliation Statement**"). In the event Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental paid exceeds Tenant's Operating Expense Rental for said Expense Year, Landlord shall credit such excess against Rent next due hereunder or, if the Lease Term has expired or is about to expire, refund such excess to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord's delivery of such Reconciliation Statement if Tenant is not in default under this Lease (in the instance of a default such excess shall be held as additional security for Tenant's performance, may be applied by Landlord to cure any such default, and shall not be refunded until any such default is cured to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction). In the event that Tenant's Operating Expense

Rental exceeds Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental paid for said Expense Year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the statement, an amount equal to such difference. The provisions of this paragraph (c) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord's books and records pertaining to the calculation of Operating Expenses for any Expense Year within the Lease Term may be audited, at Tenant's expense, by an Authorized Representative of Tenant for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the delivery of a Reconciliation Statement (or any Statement revising the same); provided, that Tenant shall give Landlord not less than ten (10) Business Days' (as defined in <u>Section 45(u)</u> below) prior written notice of any such audit. For purposes hereof, an "**Authorized Representative**" of Tenant shall mean a bona fide employee of Tenant, any national or regional accounting firm, or any other party reasonably approved in writing by Landlord, in each case who is not representing, and agrees not to represent, any other tenant or subtenant in the Project regarding Additional Rental and is not working on a contingency basis. In no event shall an Authorized Representative of Tenant include the owner of any office building in the Silicon Valley area or any affiliate of such owner. Prior to the commencement of any audit, Tenant shall cause its Authorized Representative to agree in writing for the benefit of Landlord that such Authorized Representative will keep the results of the audit confidential and that such representative will not disclose or divulge the results of such audit except to Tenant and Landlord and except in connection with any dispute between Landlord and Tenant relating to Operating Expenses. Such audit shall be conducted during reasonable business hours at Landlord's office where Landlord's books and records are maintained. Tenant shall cause a written audit report to be prepared by its Authorized Representative following any such audit and shall provide Landlord with a copy of such report promptly after receipt thereof by Tenant. If Landlord's calculation of Tenant's Operating Expense Rental for the audited Expense Year is incorrect, then Tenant shall be entitled to a prompt refund of any overpayment or Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord the amount of any underpayment, as the case may be. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such certification and the investigation with respect thereto unless it is determined that the Operating Expenses stated in the Reconciliation Statement were overstated in Landlord's favor by five percent (5%) or more, in which case Landlord shall pay the reasonable cost of same, not to exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00). Tenant waives the right to dispute or contest, and shall have no right to dispute or contest, any matter relating to the calculation of Operating Expenses or other forms of Rent under the Lease (and waives the right to inspect Landlord's records with respect thereto) with respect to each Expense Year during the Lease Term for which a Reconciliation Statement is given to Tenant if no claim or dispute with respect thereto is asserted by Tenant in writing to Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days of delivery to Tenant of the original or most recent Reconciliation Statement with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to equitably allocate some or all of the Operating Expenses for the Project among different portions or occupants of the Project (the "**Cost Pools**"), in Landlord's reasonable discretion. Such Cost Pools may include, but shall not be limited to, the office space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project, and the retail space tenants of a building of the Project or of the Project. The Operating Expenses within each such Cost Pool shall be allocated and charged to the tenants within such Cost Pool in an equitable manner.

In the event that such taxes are imposed or assessed against Landlord, the Building or the Project, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with all applicable tax bills, public charges and other assessments or impositions and Tenant shall forthwith pay the same either directly to the taxing authority or, at Landlord's option, to Landlord, in which event Landlord shall pay such amounts to the taxing authority promptly after receipt of the funds from Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payments</u>.

All payments of Rent and other payments to be made to Landlord shall be made on a timely basis, without demand, notice, abatement (except as expressly set forth herein), deduction or set-off, and shall be payable to Landlord or as Landlord may otherwise designate.

If mailed, all payments shall be mailed in sufficient time and with adequate postage thereon to be received in Landlord's account by no later than the due date for such payment. Following Landlord's written request Tenant shall deliver payments of Rent and any amounts otherwise due hereunder via wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as Landlord may designate. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) for each check presented to Landlord in payment of any obligation of Tenant which is not paid by the bank on which it is drawn. Any sums due to Landlord from Tenant not paid when due shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date due until paid. The "**Interest Rate**" shall mean ten percent (10%) per annum compounded (not to exceed the maximum rate permitted by law).

Tenant agrees that this Late Charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost Landlord will incur by reason of Tenant's late payment. Accepting any Late Charge shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of Tenant's default with respect to any overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising any other rights or remedies available to Landlord.

Depending on the nature and extent of the proposed Alterations, it is anticipated that such materials could range from paint chips, internally prepared diagrams, plans and specifications prepared by licensed architects and engineers, a description of proposed construction means and methods, the identity of any contractor or subcontractor to be employed in the construction of the Alterations, the estimated cost of such work and the estimated time for performance thereof. Tenant's notice requesting consent shall describe the Alterations and the anticipated commencement date thereon so that Landlord may file a notice of nonresponsibility described in Sections 3094 and 3129 of the California Civil Code. The construction of the Tenant Improvements (as defined in the Work Letter) shall be governed by the terms of the Work Letter. However, Tenant shall not be obligated to obtain Landlord's consent for a particular Alteration (although the above notice will always be required) in the following circumstances ("**Minor Alterations**"): (i) the cost of the Alteration in question and all work being done by Tenant in the Premises in connection with such Alteration does not exceed $150,000 and all prior Alterations for which Landlord's consent was not required will not exceed $300,000 in any twelve (12) month period; (ii) the Alteration in question will have no effect on the various systems of the Building, including without limitation, the HVAC, plumbing and fire protection systems, the Building structure or the exterior appearance of the Building, and (iii) such Alteration will not cause Tenant to exceed the maximum floor load for the Building. Except for Minor Alterations, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand an amount equal to two percent (2%) of all hard costs incurred by Tenant or its contractors or agents in connection with any Alterations to cover Landlord's overhead and expenses for plan review, coordination, scheduling and supervision. In addition, except for Minor Alterations, upon demand, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any Alterations, including, without limitation, the costs of any third-party architects, engineers or consultants hired by Landlord to review drawings for Alterations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Landlord may impose, as a condition of its consent to all Alterations such requirements as Landlord reasonably deems desirable including, but not limited to: (i) the requirement that upon Landlord's request, made at the time such consent is given, Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, remove such Alterations upon the expiration or any early termination of the Lease Term and repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal; (ii) the requirement that Tenant utilize for such purposes only contractors, materials, mechanics and materialmen selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and/or (iii) require that Tenant fully comply with the provisions of Section 8700 of the California Civil Code or submit evidence satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant is exempt from the requirements of such Section 8700. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Alterations would materially affect the systems of the Building, including without limitation, the HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection systems, the exterior of the Building or any equipment located on the exterior of the Building, any portion of the Project outside of the Building or any structural component of the Building, such Alterations shall be subject to Landlord's consent in the exercise of its sole discretion; to the extent such Alterations would merely affect the systems of the Building, including without limitation, the HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection systems, but not materially, Tenant shall observe reasonable rules relating thereto established by

------

Landlord. Tenant shall construct such Alterations and perform any repairs which Tenant is obligated to perform hereunder at Tenant's cost and in conformance with any and all applicable rules and regulations of any federal, state, county or municipal code or ordinance and pursuant to a valid building permit, issued by the city and/or county in which the Building is located, in conformance with Landlord's construction rules and regulations. Neither Landlord's selection or approval of a contractor nor its approval of the plans, specifications and working drawings for Alterations shall create any responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord for the quality or adequacy of the contractor, for the completeness, design sufficiency, or compliance of such plans, specifications and working drawings with all laws, rules and regulations of governmental agencies or authorities. All work with respect to any Alterations must be done in a good and workmanlike manner and diligently prosecuted to completion to the end that the Premises shall at all times be a complete unit except during the period of work. Tenant shall cause all work to be performed in such manner as not to obstruct access to the Project or the Common Areas for any other tenant of the Project, and as not to obstruct the business of Landlord or other tenants in the Project, or unreasonably interfere with the labor force working on the Project. Promptly upon completion of any Alterations, if required by code, Tenant agrees to cause a Notice of Completion to be recorded in the office of the Recorder of the county in which the Building is located in accordance with Section 8182 of the Civil Code of the State of California or any successor statute, and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a reproducible copy of the "**as built**" drawings of the Alterations and, if available, such drawings in "**CAD**" format.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All Alterations which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises, and all signs installed in, on or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord, other than trade fixtures and equipment which may be removed without material damage to the Premises on the expiration of the Lease Term or its earlier termination; provided, however, that to the extent any trade fixtures and equipment were installed or placed in or about the Premises at the cost and expense of Landlord, such trade fixtures and equipment shall remain the property of Landlord upon expiration of the Lease Term or its earlier termination. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations, then as a matter which shall survive termination of this Lease, Landlord may do so and may charge the cost thereof to Tenant. Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien in any manner relating to the installation, placement, removal or financing of any Alterations by Tenant or at Tenant's behest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Repairs</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, remodel, improve, repair, renovate, redecorate or paint all or any part of the Premises. Landlord shall repair, maintain and replace as necessary and in good condition, as part of Operating Expenses to the extent provided in <u>Section 7</u> hereof, the foundation and structural elements of the Building (including structural load bearing walls and roof structure and roof membrane and skylights), and the Building's and Project's Common Areas; provided, however, to the extent such maintenance, repairs or replacements are required as a result of any act, neglect, fault or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant's agents, contractors, employees, invitees, licensees, tenants or assigns (the "**Tenant's Parties**") or because of Tenant's specific use of or Alterations to the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rental, the costs of such maintenance, repairs and replacements to the extent such costs are not covered by insurance proceeds (subject to the waiver of subrogation below). Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any such repairs, or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after written notice of the need of such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant. There shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any

------

injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Project, Building or the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein. Landlord shall not be required to make any repairs or improvements to the Premises other than as expressly required under this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except for Landlord's obligations specifically set forth elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant shall at all times and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, manage and maintain the Premises (including all Building systems) in a good condition consistent with similar Class "A" buildings in Mountain View and shall keep, maintain, clean, repair, and replace, as necessary, the Premises and all parts thereof, including, without limitation, plumbing/pipes and conduits at the point of entry into the Premises and inside the Premises, all HVAC systems located within the Premises, all windows, restrooms, ceilings, interior walls, interior and demising walls, doors, electrical and lighting equipment, sprinkler systems, loading dock areas and doors, fences, signs, sprinkler and electrical systems within the Premises, fire and life safety systems and lighting and HVAC control systems, and any Tenant Improvements and Alterations, so as to keep the Premises in such good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and casualty damage excepted. Additionally, Tenant shall be responsible for the expense of installation, operation, and maintenance of its telephone and other communications cabling from the point of entry into the Project to the Premises and throughout the Premises. Tenant shall at once report, in writing, to Landlord any defective or dangerous condition known to Tenant. Tenant shall maintain the Building's systems which are located in the interior of the Premises. At Landlord's option, if Tenant fails to maintain the Premises or to make such repairs beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Landlord may, but need not, perform such maintenance or make such repairs, in which case Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof, including a percentage of the cost (not to exceed 10%) thereof sufficient to reimburse Landlord for all overhead, general conditions, fees and other costs or expenses arising from Landlord's involvement upon being billed for same. Landlord may, but shall not be required to, enter the Premises at all reasonable times to make such repairs and maintenance to the Premises or to any equipment located in the Building as Landlord shall be required to maintain hereunder or as Landlord may be required to do by governmental or quasi-governmental authority or court order or decree. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, Tenant hereby waives and releases all rights to make repairs at the expense of Landlord or in lieu thereof to vacate the Premises as may be provided byany law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect, including Sections 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code. Landlord has no obligation and has made no promise to alter, remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises or any part thereof, except as specifically and expressly herein set forth. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) a capital repair or replacement to any item described in this Section 13(b) is necessary or required, (ii) such repair or replacement would normally be capitalized under normal accounting practice and is in excess of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000), and (iii) if as a result of such expenditure the useful life of item being repair or replaced (as such useful life is based on the estimated actual life pursuant to generally accepted accounting practices) will extend beyond the Lease Term, then, subject to the requirements set forth in this <u>Section 13</u>, Landlord will reimburse Tenant for Landlord's prorata share thereof within thirty (30) days following the substantial completion of the applicable repair or replacement. Landlord's prorata share of such expenditure shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months remaining on the useful life of the item being repaired or replaced after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, and the denominator of which is the total number of months of the useful life of the repaired or replaced item. As a condition precedent to Landlord's obligation to reimburse Tenant for a prorata share of any such expenditure, Tenant shall first obtain Landlord's prior written approval of the contractor, the plans and specifications, the amount of any such expenditure and the useful life resulting from such expenditure, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon such approval, either party shall, at the other party's request, enter into an amendment of this Lease identifying the amount subject to reimbursement by Landlord.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, procure and maintain regularly scheduled preventive maintenance/service contracts (copies of which shall be delivered to Landlord upon request), in form and substance approved by Tenant, for: (a) heating, air conditioning and ventilation equipment; (b) boiler, fired or unfired pressure vessels; (c) fire sprinkler and/or standpipe and hose or other automatic fire extinguishing systems, including fire alarm and/or smoke detection; and (d) elevators, to the extent solely within the Premises. All maintenance/service contracts shall include all services recommended by the equipment manufacturer within the operation/maintenance manual and shall become effective (and a copy thereof delivered to Landlord) within thirty (30) days following the Lease Commencement Date. The term of any such service contracts shall not extend beyond the Lease Term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If Tenant refuses or neglects to repair and maintain the Premises properly as required hereunder to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord, then at any time following fifteen (15) days from the date on which Landlord makes a written demand on Tenant to effect such repair and maintenance and which is not cured by Tenant, Landlord may (i) enter upon the Premises and perform such maintenance and/or make such repairs, and upon completion thereof, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as Additional Rental, Landlord's costs for making such repairs plus ten percent (10%) of such costs for overhead, within 30 days after receipt from Landlord of a written itemized bill therefor, or (ii) take over Tenant's repair obligations for the remainder of the Term (including any Option Terms), and include the cost of same in Operating Expenses. Any amounts not reimbursed by Tenant within the aforementioned 30-day period will bear interest at the Interest Rate until paid by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the initial 15-day period set forth above shall be five (5) days in the event of an emergency which constitutes a dangerous condition to persons or property.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Landlord's Right of Entry</u>.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this <u>Section 14</u>, Landlord shall retain duplicate keys to all doors of the Premises and Landlord or any Landlord Party may enter the Premises at any time to: (a) examine and inspect the Premises (including to confirm Tenant's compliance with its obligations under this Lease), (b) show the Premises to prospective investors, purchasers, mortgagees, lessors or lessees, (c) make such repairs, alterations, replacements or additions to the Premises (i) which Landlord may elect to perform following Tenant's failure to perform or in the event of an emergency, or (ii) for which Landlord is responsible, (d) comply with any Laws, (e) post notices of nonresponsibility and (f) exercise Landlord's remedies upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default all without being liable to Tenant in any manner whatsoever for any damages arising therefrom; provided, however, that Landlord shall, except in case of emergency, afford Tenant such prior notification of an entry into the Premises as shall be reasonably practicable under the circumstances, but not less than twenty-four (24) hours, unless otherwise agreed to by Tenant. Landlord shall be allowed to take into and through the Premises any and all materials that may be required to make any such repairs, additions, alterations or improvements. Any such entries shall be without the abatement of Rent and shall include the right to take such reasonable steps as are required to accomplish the stated purposes. Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, lost profits, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry into the Premises in the circumstances and manner described in this <u>Section 14</u> shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises. In connection with any entry, Landlord and its agents shall comply with Tenant's reasonable security measures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Insurance</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant shall procure at its expense and maintain throughout the Lease Term the following policies of insurance:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;commercial general liability insurance including contractual liability and broad form property damage with an each-occurrence limit of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and a general aggregate limit of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). Such insurance shall name Landlord and its property manager and their respective officers, partners, members and employees and such additional persons or entities as Landlord may from time-to-time designate in writing as an additional insured, shall specifically include the liability assumed hereunder by Tenant, and is intended to be primary insurance, and not excess over or contributory with any other valid, existing, and applicable insurance in force for or on behalf of Landlord, and shall provide that Landlord shall receive thirty (30) days' written notice from the insurer prior to any cancellation or change of coverage. Such insurance shall, in addition, extend to provide contractual liability coverage, extending to the indemnities by Tenant provided for in this Lease and to any liability assumed in any contract entered into in the course of Tenant's business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;automobile liability insurance covering owned, hired and non-owned automobiles in amount not less than $1,000,000 each accident;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"all risk" property insurance on a "special causes of loss" basis (including boiler and machinery (if applicable); business income and extra expense; sprinkler damage, including earthquake sprinkler leakage, vandalism and malicious mischief) on the Tenant Improvements, any Alterations installed in the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant, all leasehold improvements installed in the Premises by Tenant at its expense, and all of Tenant's personal property, such insurance to include a building ordinance provision (as to those Alterations for which such a provision will apply), a waiver of subrogation from Tenant's insurer in favor of Landlord and any parties reasonably designated by Landlord. Such insurance shall be an amount equal to full replacement cost of the aggregate of the foregoing and for business income and extra expense shall equal 12 months of income and shall provide coverage comparable to the coverage in the standard ISO "special causes of loss" form, when such form is supplemented with the coverages required above, and the property insurance for leasehold improvements and Alterations shall name Landlord as a loss payee as their interest may appear;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;worker's compensation insurance, statutory and employer's liability coverage in an amount not less than $1,000,000 Disease-Policy Limit; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;such other insurance as may be required by Law or reasonably required by Landlord.

Additionally, Tenant shall at a minimum require all of its contractors, subcontractors, and vendors to maintain commercial general liability insurance meeting the commercially reasonable requirements of Landlord, automobile liability per <u>Section 15(a)(2)</u> and workers' compensation coverage including employers liability per <u>Section 15(a)(4)</u> in addition such coverage shall include a Waiver of Subrogation in favor of Landlord, its property manager and their respective officers, partners, members and employees and such additional persons or entities as Landlord may from time-to-timedesignate in writing, and provide evidence of insurance as required by Landlord. At a minimum they shall be required to provide evidence of coverage and such other insurance as may be required by Landlord. Additionally, contractors, subcontractors and vendors participating in the construction of the Tenant Improvements shall be required to provide the insurance specified in the Work Letter.

------

All insurance policies required under <u>Section 15(a)</u> shall be issued by carriers licensed to do business in the State of California each with a Best's Insurance Reports policy holder's rating of not less than A- and a financial size category of not less than Class VIII, shall be written on an "occurrence basis," which shall afford coverage for all claims based on acts, omissions, injury and damage, which occurred or arose (or the onset of which occurred or arose) in whole or in part during the policy period and shall be non-cancellable and not subject to material change except after thirty (30) days' written notice to Landlord and any mortgagee or underlying ground lessor of Landlord except for non-payment of premium in which case ten (10) days' notice shall be given. Tenant shall deliver policies of such insurance or certificates thereof to Landlord prior to the date that Tenant occupies the Premises for any reason, and evidence of renewals of such policies shall be delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of each respective policy term. In the event Tenant shall fail to procure and keep such insurance in full force and effect during the Term, or to deliver such policies or certificates within said time frame, Landlord may, at its option, procure same for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Rental within five (5) Business Days after delivery to Tenant of bills therefor. Tenant shall have the right to satisfy the foregoing insurance requirements pursuant to so-called "umbrella", "blanket" or "excess" insurance coverage so long as the minimum coverages described above are applicable to the Premises, Landlord and the Project, as applicable. Landlord has the right to reasonably amend and/or increase the insurance requirements contained in this <u>Section 15</u>; provided that Landlord provides Tenant with at least thirty (30) days' prior notice to comply with such amended policies and/or increase coverage amounts, but in no event shall such amended policies and/or increase coverage amounts be in excess of that required by landlords of comparable buildings within the vicinity of the Building for tenants of comparable financial strength and consistent with the size of the space leased by such tenants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Landlord shall maintain at its expense (but with the expense to be included in Operating Expenses) throughout the Lease Term insurance on the Building against fire and risks covered by "special causes of loss" form (excluding earthquake and flood) on a 100% "replacement cost" basis. At Landlord's election, in its sole and absolute discretion, Landlord may procure earthquake coverage as a part of such insurance. Landlord's insurance shall: (i) cover the Building; (ii) not cover any Alterations installed in the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant; (iii) have a building ordinance provision; and (iv) provide for rental interruption insurance covering a period of twelve (12) full months. Landlord shall also maintain at its expense (but with the expense to be included inOperating Expenses) commercial general liability insurance including contractual liability coverage (or with contractual liability endorsement) on an occurrence basis in amounts not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence and general aggregate limit of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) with respect to bodily injury or death and property damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations of Landlord to carry insurance, Landlord may (x) modify the foregoing coverages if and to the extent it is commercially reasonable to do so, and (y) carry additional insurance, including without limitation earthquake and flood, at its sole discretion, and the cost thereof shall be included in Operating Expenses. Any insurance required or permitted to be carried by Landlord hereunder may be carried under blanket policies covering other properties of Landlord and/or its partners and/or their respective related or affiliated corporations so long as such blanket policies provide insurance at all times for the Project as required by this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Waiver of Subrogation</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, to the extent that this waiver does not invalidate or impair their respective insurance policies, Landlord and Tenant waive any right of recovery against the other party for any loss of or damage to property which loss or damage is (or, if the insurance required hereunder had been carried, would have been) covered by the waiving party's property insurance, and Landlord and Tenant shall each obtain from their respective insurers under all policies of fire, theft, and other property insurance maintained by either of them at any time during the Term insuring or covering the Project or any portion thereof of its contents therein, a

------

waiver of all rights of subrogation which the insurer of one party might otherwise, if at all, have against the other party. This provision shall not operate to prevent Landlord from including the cost of the deductibles of such insurance in Operating Expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Default</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Tenant under this Lease (each, a "**Default**"): (i) Tenant shall fail to pay when due any installment of Rent or any other charge or assessment against Tenant pursuant to the terms hereof, and shall fail to cure such breach within five (5) days after written notice that such amount is past due, but if any such notice shall be given more than once during the twelve (12) month period commencing with the date of the first (1st) such notice, the second (2nd) failure to pay within five (5) business days after due any Rent or any other charge required to be paid to Landlord under this Lease during such twelve (12) month period shall be an Default, without notice; (ii) Tenant shall fail to perform any obligation of Tenant or to comply with any provision of this Lease, other than the payment of the Rent or any other charge or assessment payable by Tenant or compliance with the items in clauses (iii) through (xi) hereof, and shall not cure such failure within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Tenant; provided however, that any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any notice required under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161 or any similar or successor law; and provided further, that if the nature of such failure is that it cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period, notifies Landlord within such period that it cannot reasonably complete such cure within thirty (30)days and thereafter diligently proceeds to cure said failure as soon as possible but in no event later than ninety (90) days after receipt of Landlord's notice; (iii) abandonment of the Premises by Tenant as defined in California Civil Code Section 1951.3; (iv) Tenant shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, or shall file a petition in bankruptcy, or shall be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file a petition in any proceeding seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, or shall file an answer admitting or fail timely to contest the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding, which is not dismissed within forty-five (45) days; (v) a proceeding is commenced against Tenant seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, and such proceeding shall not have been dismissed within forty-five (45) days after the commencement thereof; (vi) a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for the Premises or for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant; (vii) Tenant shall fail to take possession of the Premises as provided in this Lease; (viii) Tenant shall do or permit to be done anything which creates a lien upon the Premises or the Project and such lien is not removed or discharged within fifteen (15) days after the filing thereof; (ix) Tenant shall fail to return a properly executed instrument to Landlord in accordance with <u>Section 25</u> hereof within the time period provided therein, which is not cured within three (3) Business Days after notice; or (x) Tenant shall fail to return a properly executed estoppel certificate to Landlord in accordance with <u>Section 26</u> hereof within the time period provided therein, which is not cured within three (3) Business Days after notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event of any such Default by Tenant, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate option to terminate this

------

Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder and to remove Tenant from the Premises in accordance with law. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease then Landlord may recover from Tenant:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.

As used in <u>clauses (i)</u> and <u>(ii)</u> above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by allowing interest at the maximum rate permitted by law per annum. As used in <u>clause (iii)</u> above, the "worth at the time of award" is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event of any Default by Tenant, Landlord shall also have the right, with or without terminating this Lease, but subject to applicable law, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant for such period of time as may be required by applicable law after which time Landlord may dispose of such property in accordance with applicable law. No re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this <u>Section 17(c)</u> shall be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. In addition to its other rights under this Lease, Landlord has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Landlord may continue the Lease in effect after Tenant's breach and abandonment and recover the rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord shall have the right to exercise and enforce all rights and remedies granted or permitted by law. The remedies provided for in this Lease are cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity by statute or otherwise. Exercise by Landlord of any remedy shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Premises by Tenant, either by agreement or by operation of law. Surrender of the Premises can be affected only by the written agreement of Landlord and Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No reentry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord or any other action taken by or on behalf of Landlord shall be construed to be an acceptance of a surrender of this Lease or an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless written notice of such intention is given to Tenant. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of this Lease, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees of Landlord's attorneys. Tenant waives any right of redemption arising as a result of Landlord's exercise of its remedies under this <u>Section 17</u>.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Waiver of Breach</u>.

No waiver of any breach of the covenants, warranties, agreements, provisions, or conditions contained in this Lease shall be construed as a waiver of said covenant, warranty, provision, agreement or condition or of any subsequent breach thereof, and if any breach shall occur and afterwards be cured, compromised, settled or adjusted, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as if no breach had occurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Assignment and Subletting</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant may not directly or indirectly, voluntarily or by operation of law (i) assign this Lease or any interest herein or in the Premises, or mortgage, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or sublet the Premises or any part thereof or (ii) permit the use of the Premises by any party other than Tenant, including another tenant of the Project (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as "**Transfer**," and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "**Transferee**") without Landlord's prior written consent in each instance, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and subject to <u>Sections 19(c)</u>, <u>19(h)</u> and <u>19(i),</u> below. In addition, Tenant shall not create or distribute materials or information intended to market the Premises in this Lease to any potential Transferee without disclosing any such materials or information to Landlord prior to distribution. Consent to one or more Transfers shall not operate to waive this requirement for Landlord's consent, and all subsequent Transfers shall likewise be made only upon obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord in accordance with this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If Tenant desires to effect any Transfer, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the "**Transfer Notice**") shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the "**Subject Space**"), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including a calculation of the "Transfer Premium" (defined below), the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, and (v) any other information reasonably required by Landlord which will enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee's business and proposed use of the Subject Space. Within twenty (20) days after Landlord's receipt of such Transfer Notice, Landlord shall recapture (to the extent permitted pursuant to <u>Section 19(h))</u>, approve, or reasonably disapprove such Transfer. Any Transfer (except to a Permitted Transferee pursuant to <u>Section 19(i)</u> below) made without Landlord's prior written consent or deemed approval shall, at Landlord's option,be void and shall constitute a Default. Whether or not Landlord grants consent, Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable review and processing fees, as well as any reasonable legal fees and other out of pocket costs incurred by Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord. If Landlord consents to any Transfer (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under <u>Section 19(h)</u> below), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord's consent, enter into such agreement to Transfer the Premises or portion thereof, upon materially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding <u>Section 19(a)</u> above, without otherwise limiting the criteria upon which Landlord may withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to Transfer if (i) the proposed Transferee is a party who would (or whose

------

use would) detract from the character of the Project as Class "A" office building, such as, without limitation, a dental, medical or chiropractic office or a governmental office; (ii) the proposed assignment or subletting is to a governmental subdivision or agency or any person or entity who enjoys diplomatic or sovereign immunity; (iii) such proposed Transferee is an existing tenant of the Project, and Landlord has comparable space available or becoming available in the Project to meet the Transferee's needs; (iv) such proposed assignment, subletting or use would contravene any restrictive covenant (including any exclusive use) granted to any other tenant of the Project; (v) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a person or entity then negotiating with Landlord for the lease of space in the Project, and Landlord has comparable space available or becoming available in the Project to meet the Transferee's needs; or (vi) the creditworthiness of the proposed assignee is not reasonably acceptable to Landlord (e.g. there does not exist reasonable evidence that assignee can pay the rent and additional rent to be charged to assignee).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sublessees or transferees of the Premises shall become directly liable to Landlord for all obligations of Tenant hereunder pertaining to that portion of the Premises covered by their subleases or other instruments of transfer (e.g., an assignment) without relieving Tenant of any liability therefor (provided that sublessees liability for rent and security deposit shall be as set forth in the sublease), and Tenant shall remain obligated for all liability to Landlord arising under this Lease during the entire remaining Lease Term including any extensions thereof, whether or not authorized herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If Tenant is a partnership, an aggregate withdrawal or change, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of partners owning a controlling interest in Tenant shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease and subject to the foregoing provisions. A change or series of changes in ownership of stock or other ownership interests which would result in direct or indirect change in ownership of less than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding stock of or other ownership interests in such Tenant as of the date of the execution and delivery of this Lease shall not be considered a change of control. If neither Tenant nor any affiliate which controls Tenant is a corporation, partnership or other entity that is publicly traded on a recognized national stock exchange, then any transaction or series of related or unrelated transactions (including, without limitation, any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization, any withdrawal or admission of a partner or change in a partner's interest, or any issuance, sale, gift, transfer or redemption of any capital stock of or ownership interest in such entity, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, or any combination of any of the foregoing transactions) resulting in the transfer of control of such Tenant, shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease subject to the provisions of this <u>Section 19</u>. The term "control" as used in this <u>Section 19(e)</u> means the power to directly or indirectly direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of Tenant. Any transfer of control of a subtenant which is a corporation or other entity shall be deemed an assignment of any sublease by such subtenant. However, the lack of a consent requirement shall not relieve Tenant of the obligation to deliver a timely Transfer Notice to Landlord.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fifty percent (50%) of any consideration, net of Tenant's reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred in the assignment or subletting (including Tenant's reasonable expenses in constructing improvements specifically for the subtenant or assignee and reasonable brokerage commissions in connection with the Transfer), which is in excess of the Rent and other amounts due and payable by Tenant under this Lease, and which is due to Tenant by any assignee of this Lease or successor to Tenant (including pursuant to <u>Section 19(b)</u>) for its assignment, or by any sublessee under or in connection with its sublease, or otherwise due to Tenant by another party for use and occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof, on a per-rentable-square foot basis if less than all of the Premises is transferred (the "**Transfer Premium**"), shall be promptly remitted by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rental hereunder and Tenant shall have no right or claim thereto as against Landlord.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No assignment of this Lease consented to by Landlord shall be effective unless and until Landlord shall receive an original assignment and assumption agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, signed by Tenant and Tenant's proposed assignee, whereby the assignee assumes due performance of this Lease to be done and performed for the balance of the then remaining Lease Term. No subletting of the Premises, or any part thereof, shall be effective unless and until there shall have been delivered to Landlord an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, signed by Tenant and the proposed sublessee, whereby the sublessee acknowledges the right of Landlord to continue or terminate any sublease, in Landlord's sole discretion, upon termination of this Lease, and such sublessee agrees to recognize and attorn to Landlord in the event that Landlord elects under such circumstances to continue such sublease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this <u>Section 19</u> except paragraph (i) below, upon receipt of any Transfer Notice which contemplates a Transfer that (i) will result in Tenant or its Permitted Transferees (as hereinafter defined) no longer occupying at least fifty percent (50%) of the RSF of the Premises or (ii) has a term that is longer than seventy five percent (75%) of the then remaining Lease Term, Landlord shall have the option exercisable by written notice to Tenant given within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Transfer Notice, to recapture the space proposed to be sublet or assigned ("**Transfer Space**"). If Landlord exercises its option to recapture, the Lease shall terminate with respect to the Transfer Space on the commencement date specified in the Transfer Notice, and if there is no such date then thirty (30) days after Landlord sends its written notice of recapture. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an appropriate amendment to this Lease confirming such partial termination of this Lease, providing for a prorata reduction in and apportionment of Base Rental and Tenant's Share on a straight square footage basis, adding commercially reasonable lease provisions for a multi-tenant Building, if applicable, such as reasonable and appropriate access to the Transfer Space through the remainder of the Building and the equitable use of common facilities and parking, and Landlord shall have the right to use or relet the Transfer Space for any legal purpose in its sole discretion. If Landlord elects to recapture the Transfer Space, then Landlord shall separately demise the portion of the Premises so recaptured by Landlord from the balance of the Premises, including, without limitation, capping, re-routing or reconfiguring all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life-safety and other systems and equipment serving the affected portions of the Premises and construct such other improvements as may be required by law or which Landlord reasonably deems to be necessary or appropriate to so demise the portion of the Premises so recaptured and the reasonable cost of such work shall be paid by Tenant at its sole cost. If Landlord declines or fails to elect in a timely manner to recapture the Transfer Space within such 20-day period, then, provided Landlord has consented or is deemed to have consented to the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall be entitled to proceed to transfer the Transfer Space to the proposed Transferee, subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this grammatical paragraph. Any subsequent proposed Transfer of the applicable space shall be subject to this <u>Section 19</u>. If a proposed Transfer is not consummated within six (6) months after the date of the relevant Transfer Notice, Tenant shall be required to submit a new Transfer Notice to Landlord with respect to any contemplated Transfer of the Transfer Space described in the first Transfer Notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding <u>Sections 19(a)</u> and <u>(b)</u>, an assignment or subletting by Tenant of all or a portion of the Premises or this Lease to (i) an entity which controls, is under common control, or is controlled or owned by Tenant, directly or indirectly; (ii) any entity which purchases all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or majority of its stock; (iii) any entity into which Tenant is merged or consolidated; or (iv) the sale or transfer of a controlling interest of the capital stock of Tenant as provided hereinbelow (all such persons or entities described in (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) being sometimes hereinafter referred to as "**Affiliates**"), shall not require Landlord's consent and shall not be deemed a Transfer under

------

this <u>Section 19</u>, provided that (A) any such Affiliate was not formed as a subterfuge to avoid the obligations of this <u>Section 19</u>; (B) Tenant gives Landlord at least twenty (20) days' prior notice of any such assignment or sublease to an Affiliate (or within 20 days thereafter if prior notice is prohibited by law or confidentiality obligations); (C) such Affiliate shall have, as of the effective date of any such assignment or sublease, a Tangible Net Worth which is equal to or greater than the net worth of Heartflow, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("**Original Tenant**") as of the Lease Commencement Date; (D) any such assignment or sublease shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, and such Affiliate shall assume, in a written document reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and delivered to Landlord upon or prior to the effective date of such assignment or sublease, all the obligations of Tenant under this Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises which is the subject of such assignment or sublease (other than the amount of Base Rental payable by Tenant with respect to a sublease); and (E) Tenant shall remain fully liable for all obligations to be performed by Tenant under this Lease. Any Affiliate to whom Tenant may assign this Lease or sublease a portion of the Premises as permitted by this <u>Section 19(i)</u> shall be deemed to be a "**Permitted Transferee**". The terms and provisions of <u>Sections 19(f)</u> and <u>19(h)</u> shall not be applicable to a Transfer described in this <u>Section I9(i)</u>. However, no assignment or subletting under this <u>Section 19(i)</u> shall be effective until Tenant and the assignee or sublessee have complied with <u>Section 19(g)</u> above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Destruction</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, the same shall be repaired as speedily as practicable, subject to reasonable delay for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control under the circumstances, at the expense of Landlord (subject to <u>Section 20(c)</u> below), unless this Lease is terminated as provided in this <u>Section 20</u>. Beginning on the date of such casualty and continuing during the period required for repair, a just and proportionate part of the Base Rental and Tenant's Operating Expense Rental shall be abated for the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Lease, and not occupied by Tenant as a result thereof, unless such damage to the Premises is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant's employees, contractors, licensees, or invitees, in which event Base Rental and Additional Rental shall be abated only to the extent Landlord is reimbursed from the proceeds of rental income or interruption insurance purchased by Landlord as part of Operating Expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the Premises are (i) damaged to such an extent that repairs cannot, in Landlord's judgment, be completed within twelve (12) months after the date of the casualty; (ii) damaged or destroyed as a result of a risk which is not insured under standard special form/all risk insurance policies or any other insurance carried (or required to be carried) by Landlord under this Lease; (iii) damaged and the holder of any mortgage on the Project or ground or underlying lessor with respect to the Project and/or the Building requires that the insurance proceeds or any portion thereof be used to retire the mortgage debt or terminates the ground or underlying lease, as the case may be; or (iv) substantially damaged or destroyed during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, as extended if permitted herein, then in any such event Landlord may at its option terminate this Lease by notice in writing given to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the date of such damage or destruction. If the Premises are damaged to such an extent that repairs cannot, in Landlord's judgment, be completed within twelve (12) months after the date of the casualty or if the Premises are substantially damaged during the last twelve (12) months of the Lease Term, as it may have been extended if permitted herein, then in either such event Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by notice in writing to Landlord within thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord of the estimated repair time (which estimate shall be given within sixty [60] days after the date of damage). Unless Landlord or Tenant elects to terminate this Lease as hereinabove provided, this Lease will remain in full force and effect and Landlord shall repair such damage to the

------

extent required in this <u>Section 20</u> as expeditiously as possible under the circumstances. If Landlord or Tenant terminates the Lease pursuant to this <u>Section 20</u>, then Tenant shall pay the Base Rental and Additional Rental properly apportioned (and as the same may have been abated in accordance with <u>Section 20(a)</u> above) up to such date of termination or casualty, as the case may be, and both parties hereto shall thereafter be freed and discharged of all further obligations hereunder, except as provided for in provisions of this Lease which by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If Landlord should elect or be obligated pursuant to <u>Section 20(a)</u> above to repair because of any damage or destruction, Landlord's obligation shall be limited solely to restoration of the Building to the condition provided to Tenant on the Delivery Date and shall not extend to any leasehold improvements in the Premises made by Tenant, furniture, equipment, supplies, trade fixtures or other personal property owned or leased by Tenant, its employees, contractors, invitees or licensees. If the cost of performing such repairs and restoration exceeds the actual proceeds of insurance paid or payable to Landlord on account of such casualty (other than deductible amounts), or if Landlord's mortgagee under a mortgage or the lessor under an underlying lease shall require that any insurance proceeds from a casualty loss be paid to it, Landlord may terminate this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In no event shall Landlord be liable for any loss or damage sustained by Tenant or its visitors, or injury to Tenant's business by reason of casualties mentioned hereinabove or any other accidental casualty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The provisions of this Lease, including this <u>Section 20</u>, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Project. Any statute or regulation of the state in which the Building is located including, without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises, the Building or any other portion of the Project.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Tenant's Property</u>.

Tenant shall be permitted to remove its trade fixtures, personal property, equipment and furniture from the Premises at any time during the Lease Term and any extensions thereof, and at the expiration or termination of the Lease, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease otherwise governing the same.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Services to the Premises</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the Rules and Regulations attached hereto as <u>Exhibit D</u> and unless access to the Premises is restricted by casualty, condemnation, Force Majeure or any governmental action, Tenant shall have access to the Premises 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, during the Lease Term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone, sewer, sprinkler system charges, janitorial services, trash collection services, and other utilities and services used on or from the Premises, together with any taxes, penalties, and surcharges or the like pertaining thereto and any maintenance charges for utilities. Tenant shall furnish all electric light bulbs, tubes and ballasts, battery packs for emergency lighting and fire extinguishers. If any such services are not separately metered to Tenant, Tenant shall pay such proportion of all charges jointly metered with other premises as

------

determined by Landlord, in its reasonable discretion. Any such charges paid by Landlord and assessed against Tenant shall be immediately payable to Landlord on demand and shall be Additional Rent hereunder. In addition, if applicable, to the extent any utility is not separately metered to the Premises, Landlord may, at its sole expense, install and shall have access to the Premises to monitor a separate meter (or submeter) to determine the actual use of any utility in the Premises or any shared common area and may make available and share actual whole-project energy and water usage data as necessary to maintain the Building's "green building" certification, if any. If there is no meter or submeter in the Premises, then, upon request, Tenant shall provide monthly utility usage to Landlord in electronic or paper format or provide permission for Landlord to request information regarding Tenant's utility usage directly from the utility company. Tenant will not, without the written consent of Landlord, contract with a utility provider to service the Premises with any utility, including, but not limited to, telecommunications, electricity, water, sewer or gas, which is not previously providing such service to other tenants in the Building. Except as provided in Section 22(f) below, Landlord shall in no event be liable for any interruption or failure of utility services on or to the Premises. If Tenant is billed directly by a public utility with respect to Tenant's energy usage at the Premises, then,upon request, Tenant shall provide monthly energy utility usage for the Premises to Landlord for the period of time requested by Landlord (in electronic or paper format) or, at Landlord's option, provide any written authorization or other documentation required for Landlord to request information regarding Tenant's energy usage with respect to the Premises directly from the applicable utility company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the time of Landlord's approval of Tenant's Final Working Drawings (as such term is defined in the Work Letter) and of any proposed Alterations, Landlord may designate any improvements which Landlord reasonably determines in good faith will cause there to be wear and tear of any related dedicated HVAC system(s) or other building systems within the Premises or the Project **("Tenant's Wear and Tear")** that is significantly greater than that which would be customary for premises being used for normal general office uses **("Normal Wear and Tear"),** because of the hours during which such dedicated HVAC system(s) or building systems will be in use, the impact which equipment being operated by Tenant within the Premises will have on such dedicated HVAC system(s) or building systems, or other similar factors (the extent to which Tenant's Wear and Tear exceeds Normal Wear and Tear being referred to herein as **"Excess Wear and Tear").** If Landlord makes such a designation and Tenant constructs the improvements in question, then the incremental cost of operating the dedicated HVAC system(s) and/or building systems due to the Excess Wear and Tear along with the incremental cost of maintaining, repairing and replacing all or any portion of the dedicated HVAC system(s) and/or building systems resulting from such Excess Wear and Tear shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after written demand from Landlord as Additional Rental.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;HVAC shall be supplied to the Premises from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Monday through Friday and 9:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M., Saturdays (collectively, the **"Business Hours"),** except for the date of observation of New Year's Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day, and at Landlord's good faith discretion, other state and nationally recognized holidays selected by Landlord (collectively, the **"Holidays");** provided, however, that if Tenant desires HVAC to be provided to the Premises during hours **("Non-Business Hours")** other than Business Hours **("After Hours HVAC"),** Tenant shall provide Landlord with prior written notice (which at a minimum shall be 24 hours' written notice of Tenant's desired After Hours HVAC use and upon such additional conditions as shall be determined by Landlord from time to time, unless the controls are in the Premises in which case Tenant may turn on such HVAC. Tenant shall pay to Landlord Landlord's then prevailing charges (reflecting Landlord's good faith estimate of Landlord's actual direct and indirect cost of providing such After Hours HVAC to an individual floor or zone including, without limitation, the cost of utility service, accelerated wear and tear and depreciation of Building systems, labor required for

------

processing Tenant After Hours HVAC requests and operating the Building HVAC system, together with a reasonable administration fee) (the **"After Hours HVAC Rate")** for supplying such After Hours HVAC within thirty (30) days of receipt of a bill therefor, which fee is currently $100 per hour. Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay to Landlord any reasonable additional costs (including, without limitation, the costs of installation of additional HVAC equipment) incurred by Landlord because of the failure of the HVAC system to perform its function due to the occupancy of the Premises by more than one (1) person per 150 feet of RSF of the Premises, arrangement of partitioning in the Premises or changes or alterations thereto or from any use by Tenant of heat-generating machinery or equipment other than normal office equipment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as provided in <u>Section 22(f)</u> below, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for damages, by abatement of Rent or otherwise, for failure to furnish or delay in furnishing any service or utility, or for any diminution in the quality or quantity thereof, whether such failure or delay or diminution is occasioned, in whole or in part, by repairs, replacements, or improvements, by Force Majeure, by any strike, lockout or other labor trouble, by inability to secure electricity, gas, water, or other fuel at the Building or Project, by any accident or casualty whatsoever, by act or default of Tenant or other parties, or by any other cause; and such failures or delays or diminution shall never be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the Premises or, except as expressly provided in this Lease, relieve Tenant from paying Rent or performing any of its obligations under this Lease. Furthermore, Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of, or injury to, property or for injury to, or interference with, Tenant's business, including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to a failure of Tenant to receive any of the services or utilities as set forth in this <u>Section 22.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or any portion thereof as a result of (i) Landlord's failure to provide to the Premises any of the essential utilities, repairs and/or services required to be provided by Landlord pursuant to this <u>Section 22</u>, or (ii) any failure by Landlord to provide access to the Premises (each such event herein referred to as an **"Abatement Event"),** then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such Abatement Event. If such Abatement Event continues for five (5) consecutive Business Days after Landlord's receipt of any such notice from Tenant **("Eligibility Period"),** then Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rental shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, from and after the first (1st) day following the Eligibility Period and continuing until such time that Tenant is no longer prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or a portion thereof. Such abatement shall be calculated in the proportion that the rentable square feet of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable square feet of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall only be entitled to such abatement of rent pursuant to this Section if the Abatement Event is caused by Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct or breach of this Lease. To the extent Tenant shall be entitled to abatement of rent because of a damage or destruction pursuant to <u>Section 20</u> or a taking pursuant to <u>Section 32</u>, then the Eligibility Period shall not be applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Waiver of Jury Trial</u>.

If either party commences litigation against the other for the specific performance of this Lease, for damages for the breach hereof or otherwise for enforcement of any remedy hereunder or at law, the parties hereto agree to and hereby do waive any right to a trial by jury.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Time</u>.

Time is of the essence of this Lease and each of its provisions and whenever a certain day is stated for payment or performance of any obligation of Tenant or Landlord, the same enters into and becomes a part of the consideration hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Subordination and Attornment.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except to the extent that Landlord's mortgagee (or lessor under a ground lease) elects to make the Lease senior to the mortgage (or ground lease) pursuant to <u>Section 25(b)</u>, Tenant agrees that this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate to any ground or underlying lease which may hereafter be in effect regarding the Project or any component thereof, to any mortgage now or hereafter encumbering the Premises or the Project or any component thereof, to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgage, to all amendments, modifications, renewals, consolidations, extensions, and restatements of such mortgage, and to any replacements and substitutions for such mortgage, provided that Tenant's possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in Default under this Lease. The terms of this provision shall be self-operative, and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. Tenant, upon request of any party in interest, shall execute within ten (10) Business Days of request by Landlord such instrument or certificates as may be reasonably required to carry out the intent hereof, whether said requirement is that of Landlord or any other party in interest, including, without limitation, any mortgagee. If Landlord or its mortgagee requests the same, Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver within ten (10) Business Days following demand a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement upon such mortgagee's standard and commercially reasonable form evidencing such subordination of this Lease to the lien of the mortgage or lease. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes Landlord to execute and deliver in the name of Tenant any such instrument or instruments if Tenant fails to do so within the time period provided above, provided that such authorization shall in no way relieve Tenant from the obligation of executing such instruments or certificates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If any mortgagee or lessor under a ground or underlying lease elects to have this Lease superior to its mortgage or lease and signifies its election in the instrument creating its lien or lease or by separate recorded instrument, then this Lease shall be superior to such mortgage or lease, as the case may be. The term **"mortgage",** asused in this Lease, includes any deed of trust, deed to secure debt, or security deed and any other instrument creating a lien in connection with any other method of financing or refinancing. The term **"mortgagee",** as used in this Lease, refers to the holder(s) of the indebtedness secured by a mortgage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of, or in the event of exercise of the power of sale under, any mortgage covering the Premises or the Project, or in the event the interests of Landlord under this Lease shall be transferred by reason of deed in lieu of foreclosure or other legal proceedings, or in the event of termination of any lease under which Landlord may hold title, Tenant shall attorn to the transferee or purchaser at foreclosure or under power of sale, or the lessor of Landlord upon such lease termination, as the case may be (sometimes hereinafter called "such person"), without any deductions or off set whatsoever, and shall recognize and be bound and obligated hereunder to such person as the Landlord under this Lease; provided, however, that no such person shall be (i) bound by any payment of Rent for more than one (1) month in advance, except prepayments in the nature of security for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease (and then only if such prepayments have been deposited with and are under the control of such person); (ii) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease made without the express written consent of the mortgagee or lessor of the Landlord, as the case may be; (iii) obligated to cure any defaults under this Lease of any prior landlord

------

(including Landlord); provided, however, that such person shall be responsible for ongoing maintenance and repair obligations of the Landlord; (iv) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord); (v) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord); or (vi) bound by any warranty or representation of any prior landlord (including Landlord) relating to work performed by any prior landlord (including Landlord) under this Lease. Tenant agrees to execute any attornment agreement not in conflict herewith requested by Landlord, the mortgagee or such person. Tenant's obligation to attorn to such person shall survive the exercise of any such power of sale, foreclosure or other proceeding. Tenant agrees that the institution of any suit, action or other proceeding by any mortgagee to realize on Landlord's interest in the Premises or the Building pursuant to the powers granted to a mortgagee under its mortgage, shall not, by operation of law or otherwise, result in the cancellation or termination of the obligations of the Tenant hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Estoppel Certificates</u>.

Within ten (10) Business Days after request therefor from Landlord, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord in recordable form an estoppel certificate addressed to Landlord, any mortgagee or assignee of Landlord's interest in, or purchaser of, the Premises or the Project or any part thereof, which shall be substantially in the form of <u>Exhibit E</u> attached hereto or in such other commercially reasonable form as may be required by same. Such certificate shall also include such other information as may reasonably be required by such mortgagee, assignee, purchaser or Landlord. Any such certificate may be relied upon by Landlord, any mortgagee, proposed mortgagee, assignee, purchaser and any other party to whom such certificate is addressed. Failure of Tenant to timely execute and deliver such estoppel certificate or other instruments shall constitute an acceptance of the Premises and an acknowledgment by Tenant that statements included in the form of estoppel certificate delivered by Landlord are true and correct, without exception.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;27.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Cumulative Rights</u>.

All rights, powers and privileges conferred hereunder upon the parties hereto shall be cumulative to, but not restrictive of, or in lieu of those conferred by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;28.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Holding Over</u>.

If Tenant remains in possession after expiration or termination of the Lease Term with or without the Landlord's written consent, Tenant shall become a tenant-at-sufferance, and there shall be no renewal or extension of this Lease by operation of law. During the period of any such holding over, all provisions of this Lease shall be and remain in effect except that the monthly Base Rental shall be (i) one hundred fifty percent (150%) percent of the amount of Base Rental (including any adjustments as provided herein) payable for the last full calendar month of the Lease Term, including renewals or extensions, for the initial three (3) months of holdover and (ii) from and after the beginning of the fourth (4<sup>th</sup>) month of holdover two hundred percent (200%) of the amount of Base Rental (including any adjustments as provided herein) payable for the last full calendar month of the Lease Term, including renewals or extensions. The inclusion of the preceding sentence in this Lease shall not be construed as the Landlord's consent for Tenant to hold over. Landlord hereby expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord as provided in this Lease upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease. The provisions of this <u>Section 28</u> shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and liability resulting from such

------

failure, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, any consequential damages and any lost profits resulting therefrom.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;29.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Surrender of the Premises</u>.

Upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises and every part thereof, and any Alterations, broom clean and in good condition and state of repair, reasonable wear and tear and damage due to casualty or condemnation excepted. Tenant shall remove all personalty and equipment not permanently attached to the Premises that it has placed upon the Premises, and repair any damage caused by such removal. At Landlord's option, Tenant shall also be responsible for the removal of all wires and cables installed by Tenant in the Premises and within any risers or other portions of the Building to serve Tenant's telecommunications and computer systems in the Premises; provided that the removal of such wires, cables and risers shall be effected by Tenant without damage to the Premises or the Building and without interference with the business or operations of Landlord or any other tenant of the Project. If Tenant shall fail or refuse to remove all of Tenant's effects, personalty and equipment from the Premises upon the expiration or termination of this Lease for any cause whatsoever or upon the Tenant being dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, such effects, personalty and equipment shall be deemed conclusively to be abandoned and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Landlord without written notice to Tenant or any other party and without obligation to account for them. Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand any and all expenses incurred by Landlord in the removal of such property, including, without limitation, the cost of repairing any damage to the Building or Project caused by the removal of such property and storage charges (if Landlord elects to store such property). Tenant and Landlord shall, at least sixty (60) days before the last day of the Lease Term, arrange to meet together for a joint inspection of the Premises. In the event of either party's failure to arrange and participate in such joint inspection, the participating party's inspection at Tenant's vacation of the Premises shall be deemed correct for purposes of determination of Tenant's responsibility for repairs and restoration. The covenants and conditions of this <u>Section 29</u> shall survive any expiration or termination of this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;30.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Notices</u>.

All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and may be delivered in person to either party or may be sent by nationally recognized overnight courier or by United States mail, certified, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Any such notice shall be deemed received by the party to whom it was sent (i) in the case of personal delivery or courier delivery, on the date of delivery to such party, and (ii) in the case of certified mail, on the date receipt is acknowledged on the return receipt for such notice or, if delivery is rejected or refused or the U.S. Postal Service is unable to deliver same because of changed address of which no notice was given pursuant hereto, the first date of such rejection, refusal or inability to deliver. All such notices shall be addressed to Landlord or Tenant at their respective address set forth hereinabove in the Basic Lease Information or at such other address as either party shall have theretofore given to the other by notice as herein provided. If Tenant is notified in writing of the identity and address of the Landlord's mortgagee or ground or underlying lessor, Tenant shall give to such mortgagee or ground or underlying lessor written notice of any default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease by registered or certified mail, and such mortgagee or ground or underlying lessor shall be given a reasonable opportunity to cure such default prior to Tenant's exercising any remedy available to Tenant.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;31.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Damage or Theft of Personal Property</u>.

As a material part of the consideration to Landlord, all personal property brought into Premises by Tenant, or Tenant's employees or business visitors, shall be at the risk of Tenant only, and Landlord shall not be liable for theft thereof or any damage thereto occasioned by any act or omission of co-tenants, occupants, invitees or other users of the Building or any other person. Tenant acknowledges Landlord shall not be providing any security for the Premises, Building or Project. Landlord shall not at any time be liable for damage to any property in or upon the Premises which results from power surges or other deviations from the constancy of electrical service or from gas, smoke, water, or rain, which issues or leaks from or forms upon any part of the Building or from the pipes or plumbing work of the same, or from any other place whatsoever.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;32.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Eminent Domain</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If all or part of the Premises is taken for any public or quasi-public use by virtue of the exercise of the power of eminent domain or by private purchase in lieu thereof, this Lease shall terminate as to the part so taken as of the date of taking, and, in the case of a partial taking, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as to the balance of the Premises by written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after such date; provided, however, that a condition to the exercise by Tenant of such right to terminate shall be that the portion of the Premises taken shall be of such extent and nature as substantially to handicap, impede or impair Tenant's use of the balance of the Premises. If title to so much of the Building is taken that a reasonable amount of reconstruction thereof will not in Landlord's sole discretion result in the Building being a practical improvement and reasonably suitable for use for the purpose for which it is designed, then this Lease shall terminate on the date that the condemning authority actually takes possession of the part so condemned or purchased.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If this Lease is terminated under the provisions of this <u>Section 32</u>, Rent shall be apportioned and adjusted as of the date of termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If there is a partial taking of the Building and this Lease is not thereupon terminated under the provisions of this <u>Section 32</u>, then this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and Landlord shall, within a reasonable time thereafter, repair or reconstruct the remaining portion of the Building to the extent necessary to make the same a complete architectural unit; provided that in complying with its obligations hereunder Landlord shall not be required to expend more than the net proceeds of the condemnation award which are paid to Landlord, and which the Landlord's mortgagee permits Landlord to use for this purpose.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All compensation awarded or paid upon a total or partial taking of the Premises, or the Building shall belong to and be the property of Landlord without any participation by Tenant. Nothing herein shall be construed to preclude Tenant from prosecuting any claim directly against the condemning authority for moving expenses, loss of business, for damage to, and cost of removal of, trade fixtures, furniture and other personal property belonging to Tenant, and for the unamortized cost of leasehold improvements to the extent same were installed at Tenant's expense (and not with the proceeds of the Tenant Improvement Allowance); provided, however, that no such claim shall diminish or adversely affect Landlord's award. In no event shall Tenant have or assert a claim for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 32</u>, Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any and all of its right, title and interest in or to any compensation awarded or paid for the fee as a result of any such taking.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this <u>Section 32</u>, if, during the Lease Term, the use or occupancy of any part of the Building or the Premises shall be taken or appropriated temporarily for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days or less for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance, or regulations, or by right of eminent domain, this Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such taking or appropriation and Tenant shall continue to pay in full all Rent payable hereunder by Tenant during the Lease Term. In the event of any such temporary appropriation or taking, Tenant shall be entitled to receive that portion of any award which represents compensation for the loss of use or occupancy of the Premises during the Lease Term, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive that portion of any award which represents the cost of restoration and compensation for the loss of use or occupancy of the Premises after the end of the Lease Term.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;33.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Parties</u>.

The term **"Landlord,"** as used in this Lease, shall include Landlord and its assigns and successors. Should Landlord's interest in the Premises cease to exist for any reason during the Lease Term, then notwithstanding the happening of such event, this Lease nevertheless shall remain in full force and effect, and Tenant hereby agrees to attorn to the then owner of the Premises so long as such owner assumes all of the obligations of Landlord hereunder. The term **"Tenant"** shall include Tenant and its heirs, legal representatives and successors, and shall also include Tenant's assignees, if this Lease shall be validly assigned for the balance of the Lease Term or any renewals or extensions thereof. Landlord's right to transfer or assign Landlord's interest in and to the Premises, or any part or parts thereof, shall be unrestricted; in the event of any such transfer or assignment by Landlord which includes the Premises, upon the assignee's or transferee's assumption of the obligations of Landlord arising after the effective date of the transfer, Landlord's obligations first arising thereafter to Tenant hereunder shall cease as of the date of transfer and assumption and Tenant shall look only and solely to Landlord's assignee or transferee for performance thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;34.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Liability of Tenant</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property and injury to persons, in, on, or about the Premises from any cause whatsoever including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, whether caused by water leakage of any character from the roof, walls, or other portion of the Premises or the Building, the Project, or caused by gas, fire, oil, electricity, or any cause whatsoever (other than the intentional or willful misconduct or gross negligence of Landlord and its agents and employees), in, on, or about the Premises, the Building, the Project or any part thereof and agrees that Landlord, and its partners, joint venturers, members, shareholders, lenders and mortgagees, and their respective officers, agents, property managers, servants, employees, and independent contractors (collectively, **"Landlord Parties")** shall not be liable for, and are hereby released from any responsibility for, any damage to property or injury to persons or resulting from the loss of use thereof, which damage or injury is sustained by Tenant or by other persons claiming through Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except for the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Lease by Landlord or any Landlord Parties, Tenant shall indemnify and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from and defend Landlord and the other Landlord Parties against any and all loss, cost, damage, injury, expense and liability, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees (collectively, **"Claims"):** (i) incurred in connection with or arising from any cause in or on the Premises (including, without limitation, Tenant's installation, placement and removal of Tenant Improvements, Alterations, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises); (ii) occurring in, on, or about any other portion of the Project to the extent such injury or damage shall be caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, licensees, invitees, guests or visitors of Tenant

------

(collectively, the **"Tenant Parties")** in, on or about the Premises, Building and Project; or (iii) arising from any breach of this Lease by Tenant. Tenant further agrees to indemnify and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from, and defend the Landlord Parties against, any and all Claims arising from the conduct of any work or business of Tenant Parties in or about the Project, including any release, discharge, storage or use of any Hazardous Substance, hazardous waste, toxic substance, oil, explosives, asbestos, or similar material. In the event of a discrepancy between the terms of this <u>Section 34</u> and the terms of <u>Section 39</u> (concerning Hazardous Substance liability), the latter shall control. Nothing in this <u>Section 34</u> is intended to nor shall it be deemed to override the provisions of <u>Section</u> <u>1</u><u>6</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;35.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Force Majeure</u>.

Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, acts of war, terrorist acts, inability to obtain services, labor, or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor, governmental actions, civil commotions, moratorium, adverse weather, delays in receipt of permits, fire or other casualty, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, except with respect to the obligations imposed with regard to Rent and other charges to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease (collectively, a **"Force Majeure"),** notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, shall excuse the performance of such party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage and, therefore, if this Lease specifies a time period for performance of an obligation of either party, that time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in such party's performance caused by a Force Majeure. The foregoing shall in no event be deemed to cause an extension of the Lease Commencement Date or Expiration Date, or in any way eliminate or defer any obligation of Tenant to pay Rent for the period in which a Force Majeure event occurs, except to the extent set forth in <u>Section 20</u> hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;36.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Landlord's Liability</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Landlord and the Landlord Parties shall have no personal liability with respect to any of the provisions of this Lease. If Landlord is in default with respect to its obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall look solely to the equity of Landlord in and to the Project for satisfaction of Tenant's remedies, if any. It is expressly understood and agreed that Landlord's liability under the terms of this Lease shall in no event exceed the amount of its interest in and to said Project. In no event shall any of the Landlord Parties be personally liable with respect to any of the provisions of this Lease and Tenant hereby expressly waives and releases such personal liability on behalf of itself and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant. Under no circumstances shall Landlord or any of the Landlord Parties be liable for injury to Tenant's business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom. All obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be construed as covenants, not conditions; and, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant may not terminate this Lease for breach of Landlord's obligations hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of any Tenant Party, Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all claims or liability for any injury or damage to any person or property including any reasonable attorney's fees (but excluding any consequential damages or loss of business) occurring in, on, or about the Project to the extent such injury or damage is caused by the gross negligence, intentional or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees, its property manager, or its property manager's employees; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not include claims or liability to the extent waived by Tenant pursuant to <u>Section 34</u>. Further, (i) in the event of a discrepancy between the terms of this Section and the terms of <u>Section 39</u> concerning Hazardous Substances liability, the latter shall control; and (ii) nothing in this <u>Section 36(b)</u> is intended to nor shall it be deemed to override the provisions of <u>Section 16</u>.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall in no event be liable to Tenant or any other person for any consequential damages, special or punitive damages, or for loss of business, revenue, income or profits even if caused by the active or passive negligence, or intentional or willful misconduct, of any Landlord Party, and Tenant hereby waives any and all claims for any such damages. Except for Tenant's holding over in the Premises, Tenant shall in no event be liable to Landlord or any other person for any consequential damages, special or punitive damages, or for loss of business, revenue, income, or profits even if caused by the active or passive negligence, or intentional or willful misconduct, of Tenant, and Landlord hereby waives any and all claims for any such damages. The provisions of this <u>Section 36</u> shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;37.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Landlord's Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment</u>.

Provided Tenant performs the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease, and subject to the terms and provisions hereof, including Landlord's right to perform any Construction Work, and the rights of any mortgagees or ground lessors of the Project, Landlord covenants and agrees to take all necessary steps to secure and to maintain for the benefit of Tenant the quiet and peaceful possession of the Premises, for the Lease Term, without hindrance, claim or molestation by Landlord or any other person lawfully claiming under Landlord. The foregoing covenant is in lieu of any other covenant, express or implied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;38.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Letter of Credit</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Delivery of Letter of Credit</u>. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, as protection for the full and faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease and for all losses and damages Landlord may suffer (or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it may suffer) as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease, an irrevocable and unconditional negotiable standby letter of credit (the **"Letter of Credit")** containing the terms required herein, running in favor of Landlord, issued by, a solvent, nationally recognized bank with a long term rating from Standard and Poor's Professional Rating Service of A or a comparable rating from Moody's Professional Rating Service or higher, under the supervision of the Superintendent of Banks of the State of California, or a national banking association (the **"Bank"),** and payable upon presentation to an operating retail branch located in San Francisco, California (or, subject to Landlord's subsequent agreement with the applicable Bank and without delay in the Bank's processing of any applicable draw on the Letter of Credit, payable upon delivery of a facsimile draw) of such Approved Issuer, in an amount equal to Four Million Three Hundred Seventeen Thousand Nineteen and 20/100 Dollars ($4,317,019.20) (the **"Letter of Credit Amount"),** as the same may be reduced pursuant to <u>Section 38(f)</u> below. The Letter of Credit shall (i) be "callable" at sight, irrevocable and unconditional, (ii) be maintained in effect, whether through renewal (pursuant to a so-called "evergreen provision") or extension, for the period from the Delivery Date and continuing until the date (the **"LC Expiration Date")** that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term, and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a new Letter of Credit, certificate of renewal or extension amendment at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord, (iii) be fully transferrable by Landlord, its successors and assigns, (iv) permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings, and (v) be otherwise subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (2007-Rev), International Chamber of Commerce Publication #600, or the International Standby Practices-ISP 98, International Chamber of Commerce Publication #590. In addition to the foregoing, the form and terms of the Letter of Credit (and the Bank issuing the same) shall be acceptable to Landlord, in Landlord's reasonable discretion. If Landlord notifies Tenant in writing that

------

the Bank which issued the Letter of Credit has become financially unacceptable because the above requirements are not met or the Bank has filed bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings or is placed into a receivership or conservatorship, or the financial condition of the Bank has changed in any other materially adverse way, then Tenant shall have thirty (30) days to provide Landlord with a substitute Letter of Credit complying with all of the requirements of this <u>Section 38</u>. If Tenant does not so provide Landlord with a substitute Letter of Credit within such thirty (30) day period, then Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw upon the then current Letter of Credit. In addition to Landlord's rights to draw upon the Letter of Credit in <u>Section 38(d)</u> below and as otherwise described in this <u>Section 38</u>, Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable: (A) such amount is past-due beyond applicable notice and cure periods under the terms and conditions of this Lease; (B) Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any state bankruptcy code (collectively, **"Bankruptcy Code"), (C)** an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, (D) the Bank has notified Landlord that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed or extended through the LC Expiration Date, or (E) Tenant has failed to deliver a new Letter of Credit or amendment to the existing Letter of Credit increasing the stated amount as required under the terms of this Lease. The Letter of Credit will be honored by the Bank regardless of whether Tenant disputes Landlord's right to draw upon the Letter of Credit. Tenant shall be responsible for paying the Bank's fees in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, certificate of renewal or extension amendment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Transfer of Letter of Credit</u>. The Letter of Credit shall provide that Landlord, its successors and assigns, may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant's consent thereto, transfer (one or more times) all or any portion of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to a successor owner of Landlord or its mortgagee. In the event of a transfer of Landlord's interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit, in whole or in part, to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor arising after such transfer, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of said Letter of Credit to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the Letter of Credit by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying the Bank's transfer and processing fees in connection therewith.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>In General</u>. If, for any reason, the amount of the Letter of Credit becomes less than the Letter of Credit Amount, Tenant shall within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, either provide Landlord with a cash security deposit equal to such difference or provide Landlord with additional letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency (or a replacement letter of credit in the total Letter of Credit Amount), and any such additional (or replacement) letter of credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this <u>Section 38</u>, and if Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in <u>Section 17(a)</u> above, the same shall constitute an incurable default by Tenant under this Lease (without the need for any additional notice and/or cure period). Tenant further covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the Letter of Credit or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Letter of Credit expires earlier than the LC Expiration Date, Landlord will accept a renewal thereof (such renewal letter of credit to be in effect and delivered to Landlord, as applicable, not later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Letter of Credit), which shall be irrevocable and automatically renewable as above provided through the LC Expiration Date upon the same terms as the

------

expiring Letter of Credit or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion. However, if the Letter of Credit is not timely renewed, or if Tenant fails to maintain the Letter of Credit in the amount and in accordance with the terms set forth in this <u>Section 38</u>, Landlord shall have the right to present the Letter of Credit to the Bank in accordance with the terms of this <u>Section 38</u>, and the proceeds of the Letter of Credit may be applied by Landlord against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due (subject to applicable notice and cure periods) and/or to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it will suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease (subject to applicable notice and cure periods), including, but not limited to, all damages or rent due upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code. Any unused proceeds shall constitute the property of Landlord and need not be segregated from Landlord's other assets. Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the LC Expiration Date the amount of any proceeds of the Letter of Credit received by Landlord and not applied against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that was not paid when due or used to pay for any losses and/or damages suffered by Landlord (or reasonably estimated by Landlord that it will suffer) as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease (including, but not limited to, all damages or rent due upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code); provided, however, that if prior to the LC Expiration Date a voluntary petition is filed by Tenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant by any of Tenant's creditors, under the Bankruptcy Code, then Landlord shall not be obligated to make such payment in the amount of the unused Letter of Credit proceeds until either all preference issues relating to payments under this Lease have been resolved in such bankruptcy or reorganization case or such bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Application of Letter of Credit</u>. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any breach or default on the part of Tenant under this Lease. If Tenant shall breach any provision of this Lease or otherwise be in default hereunder, in each case beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant, draw upon the Letter of Credit, in part or in whole, to cure any breach or default of Tenant and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained, or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain, resulting from Tenant's breach or default, including, but not limited to, all damages or rent due upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code. The use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any Laws, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit, and the use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, either prior to or following a "draw" by Landlord of any portion of the Letter of Credit, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord's right to draw upon the Letter of Credit. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional to justify the issuer of the Letter of Credit in failing to honor a drawing upon such Letter of Credit in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (i) the Letter of Credit constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Bank, (ii) Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract, (iii) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof, and (iv) in the event Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant's bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord's claim and/or rights to the Letter of

------

Credit and/or the proceeds thereof by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Security Deposit</u>. Any proceeds drawn under the Letter of Credit and not applied as set forth above shall be held by Landlord as a security deposit (the **"Deposit").** No trust relationship is created herein between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Deposit, and Landlord shall not be required to keep the Deposit separate from its general accounts. The Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the provisions of this Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant. If Tenant fails to pay any Rent, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to), and without prejudice to any other remedy available to Landlord, use, apply or retain all or any portion of the Deposit for the payment of any Rent in default or for the payment of any other sum to which Landlord may become obligated by reason of Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer thereby, including, without limitation, prospective damages and damages recoverable pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.2. Tenant waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, or any similar or successor laws now or hereinafter in effect, that restrict Landlord's use or application of the Deposit, or that provide specific time periods for return of the Deposit. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant expressly agrees that if Landlord terminates this Lease due to an Event of Default or if Tenant terminates this Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding, Landlord shall be entitled to hold the Deposit until the amount of damages recoverable pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1951.2 is finally determined. If Landlord uses or applies all or any portion of the Deposit as provided above, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Deposit to the full amount thereof, and Tenant's failure to do so shall, at Landlord's option, be an Event of Default under this Lease. At any time that Landlord is holding proceeds of the Letter of Credit pursuant to this <u>Section 38</u>, Tenant may deposit a Letter of Credit that complies with all requirements of this <u>Section 38</u>, in which event Landlord shall return the Deposit to Tenant within ten (10) days after receipt of the Letter of Credit. If Tenant performs all of Tenant's obligations hereunder, the Deposit, or so much thereof as has not previously been applied by Landlord, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other increment for its use, to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to the last assignee, if any, of Tenant's interest hereunder) within 60 days following the later of the expiration of the Term or Tenant's vacation and surrender of the Premises in accordance with the requirements of this Lease. Landlord's return of the Deposit or any part thereof shall not be construed as an admission that Tenant has performed all of its obligations under this Lease. Upon termination of Landlord's interest in this Lease, if Landlord transfers the Deposit (or the amount of the Deposit remaining after any permitted deductions) to Landlord's successor in interest, and thereafter notifies Tenant of such transfer and the name and address of the transferee, then Landlord shall be relieved of any further liability with respect to the Deposit. Thereafter, Tenant shall look solely to the new owner or lessor for the return of said Deposit. The Deposit shall not be mortgaged, assigned or encumbered by Tenant. In the event of a permitted assignment under this Lease by Tenant, the Deposit may be held by Landlord as a deposit made by the permitted assignee in which event the Landlord shall have no further liability with respect to the return of said Deposit to the original Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So long as Tenant is not in monetary or material non-monetary default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, the Letter of Credit Amount shall be subject to reduction pursuant to the following provisions of this <u>Section 38(f)</u>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If (i) Tenant shall have received, in the aggregate, after the date of execution of this Lease, $325,000,000.00 or more in private equity investment(s) and (ii) has at least $350,000,000.00 in cash shown on Tenant's balance sheet, the Letter of Credit Amount shall be reduced

------

by $1,079,254.80 (such that the remaining Letter of Credit Amount shall be $3,237,764.40) upon the date which is fifteen (15) days after Landlord's receipt of such certified financial statements and Tenant's notice to Landlord that Tenant has met such financial criteria; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon Tenant reaching (i) positive net cash used in operating activities for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters as evidenced on an audited statement of cash flows and (ii) Tenant showing evidence as of such date of notice that it has a minimum of 350,000,000.00 in cash shown on Tenant's balance sheet, the Letter of Credit Amount shall be further reduced by $1,079,254.80 (such that the remaining Letter of Credit Amount shall be $2,158,509.60) upon the date which is fifteen (15) days after Landlord's receipt of such certified financial statements and Tenant's notice to Landlord that Tenant has met such financial criteria.

Any such reduction in the Letter of Credit Amount shall be accomplished through amendment or replacement Letter of Credit to be provided by Tenant to Landlord at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;39.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Hazardous Substances</u>.

Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that Tenant shall not cause or permit any **"Hazardous Substances"** (as hereinafter defined) to be generated, placed, held, stored, used, located or disposed of at the Project or any part thereof, except for such Hazardous Substances as are commonly and legally used or stored as a consequence of using the Premises for general office, R&D and administrative purposes, but only so long as the use or storage thereof do not pose a threat to public health or to the environment or would necessitate a "response action", as that term is defined in **"CERCLA"** (as hereinafter defined), and so long as Tenant strictly complies or causes compliance with all applicable governmental rules and regulations concerning the use, storage, production, transportation and disposal of such Hazardous Substances. Promptly upon receipt of Landlord's request, Tenant shall submit to Landlord true and correct copies of any reports filed by Tenant with any governmental or quasi-governmental authority regarding the generation, placement, storage, use, treatment or disposal of Hazardous Substances on or about the Premises. For purposes of this <u>Section 39</u>, **"Hazardous Substances"** shall mean and include those elements or compounds which are contained in the list of Hazardous Substances adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency **("EPA")** or in any list of toxic pollutants designated by Congress or the EPA or which are defined as hazardous, toxic, pollutant, infectious or radioactive by any other federal, state or local statute, law, ordinance, code, rule, regulation, order or decree regulating, relating to or imposing liability (including, without limitation, strict liability) or standards of conduct concerning, any hazardous, toxic or dangerous waste, substance or material, as now or at any time hereinafter in effect (collectively **"Environmental Laws").** Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify Landlord and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, including strict liability, damages, injuries, expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of settlement or judgment and claims of any and every kind whatsoever paid, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, Landlord by any person, entity or governmental agency for, with respect to, or as a direct or indirect result of, the presence in, or the escape, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission or release from, the Premises of any Hazardous Substances during the Term (including, without limitation, any losses, liabilities, including strict liability, damages, injuries, expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of any settlement or judgment or claims asserted or arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act **("CERCLA"),** any so called federal, state or local **"Superfund"** or **"Superlien"** laws or any other Environmental Law. The obligations of Tenant under this <u>Section 39</u> shall survive any expiration or termination of this Lease.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;40.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Broker</u>.

Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant to each other that (except with respect to the Brokers identified in the Basic Lease Information) no broker, agent, commission salesperson, or other person has represented Landlord or Tenant in the negotiations for and procurement of this Lease and of the Premises and that (except with respect to the Brokers) no commissions, fees, or compensation of any kind are due and payable in connection herewith to any broker, agent, commission salesperson, or other person as a result of any act or agreement of Landlord or Tenant. Landlord and Tenant agree to indemnify and hold each other harmless from all loss, liability, damage, claim, judgment, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) suffered or incurred by the other party as a result of a breach by Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, of the representation and warranty contained in the immediately preceding sentence or as a result of Landlord's or Tenant's failure to pay commissions, fees, or compensation due to any broker who represented Landlord or Tenant, whether or not disclosed, or as a result of any claim for any fee, commission or similar compensation with respect to this Lease made by any broker, agent or finder (other than the Brokers) claiming to have dealt with Landlord or Tenant, whether or not such claim is meritorious. Landlord shall pay the Brokers a commission pursuant to a separate agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;41.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Signage</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to Tenant's compliance with the provisions of this <u>Section 41</u> and Landlord's reasonable approval, Tenant shall have the right to install signage on the monument sign for the Building and on the exterior or interior of the Building. If Landlord approves of the installation of any signage, the graphics, materials, color, design, lettering, lighting, size, illumination, specifications and exact location of Tenant's signage shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall be consistent and compatible with the quality and nature of the Project and Landlord's standard signage program. In addition, Tenant's signage shall be subject to Tenant's receipt of all required governmental permits and approvals and shall be subject to all applicable Laws and to any covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Project. Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for all costs associated with the design, fabrication, permitting, installation, repair, maintenance, replacement, removal of all Tenant's signs and the repair of any damage to the Building resulting from the removal of such signage. Any signage rights granted by Landlord to signs on the exterior of the Building are personal to the Original Tenant executing this Lease and may not be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, to any person or entity other than the Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee; provided, however, that the name of such Permitted Transferee is not an Objectionable Name. The sign rights granted to the Original Tenant hereunder are not assignable separate and apart from the Lease, nor may any sign right granted herein be separated from the Lease in any manner, either by reservation or otherwise without Landlord's consent or as otherwise expressly permitted in this Lease. **"Objectionable Name"** shall mean any name which relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political orientation or faction, which is inconsistent with the quality of the Project, or which would otherwise reasonably offend landlords of Class "A" buildings in Mountain View.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any signs, notices, logos, pictures, names or advertisements which are installed outside of the Premises and that are not permitted by the terms of this Lease may be removed without notice by Landlord at the sole expense of Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant is solely responsible for obtaining all approvals, consents and permits, if any, from the City of Mountain View and/or any other applicable governmental agency necessary for Tenant to install and/or construct Tenant's signage on the

------

Building or on any existing monument sign, and Landlord does not represent to Tenant that any signage will be permitted by the City of Mountain View and/or any other applicable governmental agency. Landlord shall at no cost or expense to Landlord, reasonably cooperate with Tenant in securing permits, variances, and all other necessary approvals for the purposes of installing such signage, including signage not permitted as of the date hereof but is sought by Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tenant's right to maintain the exterior signage granted hereunder is expressly conditioned upon Tenant (or a Permitted Transferee) occupying for the conduct of its business not less than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;42.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Attorney Fees</u>.

In the event of any legal action or proceeding brought by either party against the other arising out of this Lease, the Prevailing Party in such action shall be entitled to recover from the non-Prevailing Party therein reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in such action (including, without limitation, all costs of appeal) and such amount shall be included in any judgment rendered in such proceeding. For purposes of this Lease a party shall be considered the **"Prevailing Party"** to the extent that (1) such party initiated the litigation and substantially obtained the relief which it sought whether by judgment, voluntary agreement or action of the other party, trial or alternative dispute resolution process, (2) such party did not initiate the litigation and did not receive judgment in its favor, but the party receiving the judgment did not substantially obtain the relief which it sought, or (3) the other party to the litigation withdrew its claim or action without having substantially received the relief which it was seeking. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Landlord shall be deemed the Prevailing Party in any unlawful detainer or other action or proceeding instituted by Landlord based upon any default or alleged default of Tenant hereunder if (i) judgment is entered in favor of Landlord, or (ii) prior to trial or judgment Tenant pays all or any portion of the rent claimed by Landlord, vacates the Premises, or otherwise cures the default claimed by Landlord. If Landlord becomes involved in any litigation or dispute, threatened or actual, by or against anyone not a party to this Lease, but arising by reason of or related to any act or omission of Tenant or any Tenant Party, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in connection with the litigation or dispute, regardless of whether a lawsuit is actually filed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;43.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Tenant's Emergency Generator</u>.

Tenant shall be permitted to install, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, one (1) back-up emergency generator **("Tenant's Emergency Generator"),** subject to Landlord's reasonable approval of the size and location outside the Building where Tenant's Emergency Generator will be located and Tenant's compliance all other terms and conditions of this Lease. Such generator shall be of such specifications, and include such platforms, fencing, enclosures, sheds and other related materials and equipment, as shall be reasonably approved by Landlord prior to installation. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove the Tenant's Emergency Generator, including, without limitation all electrical switch gear, underground conduit and feeders, enclosure and/or modifications to the generator site, repair any damage caused thereby, and restore the site and other facilities of the Building to their condition existing prior to the installation of Tenant's Emergency Generator. For the purposes of determining Tenant's obligations with respect to its use of Tenant's Emergency Generator herein provided, the location in which Tenant's Emergency Generator is situated shall be deemed to be a portion of the Premises; consequently, all of the provisions of this Lease with respect to Tenant's obligations hereunder shall apply to the installation, use and maintenance of the Tenant's Emergency Generator, including without limitation, provisions relating to compliance with requirements as to insurance, indemnity, repairs and maintenance, and compliance with Laws.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;44.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Terrace Rights</u>.

Tenant's use of the balconies and terraces affixed to the Building (collectively, the **"Terraces")** shall at all times be in compliance with applicable Laws, rules, regulations and requirements, and on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Tenant shall not make any improvements or alterations to the Terraces or affix or place graphics, signs and/or insignias, and/or the like, and/or furniture, fixtures, equipment or other items of any kind whatsoever on the Terraces **("Tenant Terrace Property")** without Landlord's consent, and subject to any terms and conditions Landlord may impose on the use and installation thereof, all in Landlord's reasonable discretion, provided that such Tenant Terrace Property is consistent with Building standards and are new and of a first-class and clean condition. Any such Tenant Terrace Property shall comply with the load requirements of the Terraces (it being understood that Tenant shall not place a load upon either of the Terraces that exceeds fifty (50) pounds per square foot of area "live load"). Any such Tenant Terrace Property must be secured to each applicable Terrace, and the method by which any such items are secured to such Terrace shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval. Notwithstanding Landlord's review and approval of the method by which the Tenant Terrace Property is secured, Tenant shall remain solely liable for any liability arising from Tenant's placement of Tenant Terrace Property on the Terraces, and Landlord shall have no liability in connection therewith. Landlord shall have in its sole discretion the right to access the Terraces, to landscape and display plants on the Terraces, to make use of the Terraces, to place furniture, fixtures and equipment thereon, and to make any desired alterations or modifications to the Terraces, including the right to construct staircases that connect the same to the ground floor. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall keep the Terraces in a clean condition. Tenant shall remove any Tenant Terrace Property upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and shall return the affected portion of the Terraces to the condition that the Terraces would have been in had no such Tenant Terrace Property been placed or installed thereon.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;45.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Miscellaneous</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Submission of Lease</u>. The submission of this Lease for examination or execution does not constitute an offer to lease and this Lease shall be effective only upon execution and delivery hereof by Landlord and Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Severability</u>. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and in lieu of each clause or provision of this Lease which is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there shall be added as a part of this Lease a clause or provision as nearly identical to the said clause or provision as may be legal, valid and enforceable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Entire Agreement</u>. This Lease contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Lease, and no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or otherwise, between the parties not embodied herein shall be of any force or effect. This Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements, and understandings, if any, between the parties hereto or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter thereof, and none thereof shall be used to interpret or construe this Lease. This Lease may not be altered, waived, amended or extended except by an instrument in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant. This Lease is not in recordable form, and Tenant agrees not to record or cause to be recorded this Lease or any short form or memorandum thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Authority</u>. If Tenant executes this Lease as a corporation, each of the persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant does hereby personally represent and warrant that Tenant is a duly incorporated or a duly qualified (if a foreign corporation) corporation and is fully authorized and qualified to do business in the State of California, that the corporation has full right and authority to enter into this Lease, and that each person signing on behalf of the corporation is an officer of the corporation and is authorized to sign on behalf of the corporation. If Tenant signs as a partnership, joint venture, or sole proprietorship or other business entity (each being herein called **"Entity"),** each of the persons executing on behalf of Tenant does hereby covenant and warrant that Tenant is a duly authorized and existing Entity, that Tenant has full right and authority to enter into this Lease, that all persons executing this Lease on behalf of the Entity are authorized to do so on behalf of the Entity, and that such execution is fully binding upon the Entity and its partners, joint venturers, members or principals, as the case may be. Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord documentation satisfactory to Landlord evidencing Tenant's compliance with this <u>Section 45(f)</u>, and Tenant agrees to promptly execute all necessary and reasonable applications or documents as reasonably requested by Landlord or required by the jurisdiction in which the Premises is located, to permit the issuance of necessary permits and certificates for Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>financial Statements</u>.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as Tenant's (but not any Affiliate of Tenant) stock is publicly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange and Tenant's financial statements are publicly filed, the foregoing requirement shall be inapplicable to Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Joint and Several Liability</u>.

No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be implied by any failure of Landlord or Tenant to enforce any remedy on account of the violation of such provision, even if such violation shall continue or be repeated subsequently. Any waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any provision of this Lease may only be in writing, and no express waiver shall affect any provision other than the one specified in such waiver and that one only for the time and in the manner specifically stated.

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Capital Requirements</u>. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender's holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Loan Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company, as the case may be, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy and/or liquidity), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Certificates for Reimbursement</u>. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in <u>paragraph (a)</u> or <u>(b)</u> of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Delay in Requests</u>. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation; <u>provided</u> that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 4.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Compensation for Losses</u>.In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the

------

assignment of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to <u>Section 3.11</u>, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for any loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 4.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Taxes</u>.<u>Defined Terms</u>. For purposes of this Section, the term "applicable law" includes FATCA.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payments Free of Taxes</u>. Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation of a Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by any Withholding Agent, then such Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties</u>. Each Credit Party agrees that, without duplication, it shall, or shall cause the appropriate Credit Party to, timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Indemnification by Credit Parties</u>. Each Credit Party agrees that, without duplication, it shall, or shall cause the appropriate Credit Party to, indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Credit Party by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Indemnification by the Lenders</u>. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of <u>Section 11.11(b)</u> relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (e).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Evidence of Payments</u>. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment satisfactory to the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders acting reasonably).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Status of Lenders</u>.

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs <u>(g)(ii)(A)</u>, <u>(ii)(B)</u> and <u>(ii)(D)</u> of this Section) shall not be required if in such Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W- 8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been

------

deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Survival</u>. Each party's obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 4.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payments, Computations; Proceeds of Collateral, Etc</u>. The parties hereto agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless otherwise expressly provided in a Loan Document, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to each Loan Document shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date due in same day or immediately available funds to such account as the Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the next succeeding Business Day. All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days. Payments due on other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with that payment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All amounts received as a result of the exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents (including from the proceeds of collateral securing the Obligations) or under applicable law shall be applied upon receipt to the Obligations as follows: (i) first, to the payment in full in cash of all interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, whether or not permitted as a claim under such law) and fees owing under the Loan Documents, and all costs and expenses owing to the Agent and the Lenders (or any of them) pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, until paid in full in cash, (ii) second, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in <u>clause (b)(i)</u>, to the payment of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, (iii) third, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in <u>clauses (b)(i)</u> and <u>(b)(ii)</u>, to the payment of all other Obligations owing to the Agent and the Lenders (or any of them), and (iv) fourth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in <u>clauses (b)(i)</u> through <u>(b)(iii)</u>, and following the Termination Date, to the Borrower or any other Person lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

SECTION 4.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Setoff</u>. Each Lender and the Agent shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default described in <u>clauses (i)</u> through <u>(iv)</u>, inclusive, of <u>Section 9.1(h)</u> or, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), and (as security for such Obligations) each Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries hereby grants to each Lender and the Agent a continuing security interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) or moneys of each Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries then or thereafter maintained with such Lender or the Agent, as applicable. Each Lender and the Agent agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such appropriation and application made by such Lender or the Agent, as applicable; <u>provided</u> that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender and the Agent under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, may have.

SECTION 4.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Inability to Determine Rates</u>.

------

Subject to <u>Section 4.10,</u> if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that "Term SOFR" cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, and the Majority Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent,

the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Agent (with respect to <u>clause (b)</u>, at the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to an ABR Loan in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to <u>Section 4.2</u>. Subject to <u>Section 4.10</u>, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that "Term SOFR" cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on ABR Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to <u>clause (iii)</u> of the definition of "ABR" until the Agent revokes such determination.

SECTION 4.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Sharing of Payments</u>. If any Lender will, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on the Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its Pro Rata Share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion will (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as will be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments will be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; <u>provided</u> that, (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations will be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this Section will not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries (as to which the provisions of this subsection will apply).

------

SECTION 4.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Mitigation</u>. If any Lender requests compensation under <u>Section 4.1</u>, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to <u>Section 4.3</u>, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to <u>Section 4.1</u> or <u>4.3</u>, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

ARTICLE X

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 10.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Appointment</u>. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Hayfin Services LLP to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this <u>Article X</u> are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and neither any Credit Party nor any of its respective Subsidiaries will have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term "agent" herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

SECTION 10.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Rights as a Lender</u>. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder will have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" will, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or any of its Affiliates as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

SECTION 10.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Exculpatory Provisions</u>.The Agent will not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder are administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;will not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;will not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as will be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); <u>provided</u> that the Agent will not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or

------

applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;will not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and will not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Agent will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as will be necessary, or as the Agent believes in good faith will be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in <u>Sections 9.2</u>, <u>9.3</u>, and <u>11.1</u>) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Agent will be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Agent will not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in <u>Article V</u> or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

SECTION 10.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Reliance by Agent</u>. The Agent will be entitled to rely upon, and will not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and will not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of the Loans that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loans. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 10.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Delegation of Duties</u>. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this <u>Article X</u> will apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Agent and any such sub-agent and will apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the facility as well as activities as the Agent. The Agent will not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

------

SECTION 10.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Resignation of Agent</u>.The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders will have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default is in existence), to appoint a successor. If no such successor will have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and will have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as will be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the "<u>Resignation Effective Date</u>"), then the retiring Agent may (but will not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation will become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent will continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent will instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as the Agent hereunder, such successor will succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Agent), and the retiring Agent will be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent will be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed among the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this <u>Article X</u>, <u>Section 11.3</u> and <u>Section 11.4</u> will continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as the Agent.

SECTION 10.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders</u>. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it will from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 10.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Agent May File Proofs of Claim</u>. In case of the pendency of any insolvency proceeding or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Loans will then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent has made any demand on the Borrower) will be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid hereunder or under any other Loan Document to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agent under <u>Sections 3.7</u>, <u>3.8</u>, <u>11.3</u> and <u>11.4</u>) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

SECTION 11.10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Governing Law; Entire Agreement</u>. EACH LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING FOR SUCH PURPOSE SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK). THE LOAN DOCUMENTS CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY PRIOR AGREEMENTS, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT THERETO.

SECTION 11.11&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Register; Successors and Assigns</u>.(a)The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "<u>Register</u>"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes under this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Credit Party and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; <u>provided</u> that, the Credit Parties may not assign or transfer their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent. The Lenders may freely assign, participate or otherwise transfer any or all of their rights and/or obligations hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents (in each case, other than to a Disqualified Institution); <u>provided</u> that, except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or related funds, (i) so long as no Event of Default pursuant to <u>Section 9.1(a)</u> or <u>Section 9.1(h)</u> has occurred and is continuing, there shall be no assignment, sale or participation to any Person without the written consent of the Borrower (except in each case with respect to a Disqualified Institution, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such consent to be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within ten (10) Business Days of a request for such consent), and (ii) any such assignment, sale or participation shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender's then outstanding Loans).

------

prompt notice thereof to the Agent so such assignment can be reflected on the Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "<u>Participant Register</u>"); <u>provided</u> that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant's interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as the Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections</u> <u>4.1</u>, <u>4.2</u> and <u>4.3</u> (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under <u>Section 4.3(g)</u> (it being understood that the documentation required under <u>Section 4.3(g)</u> shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; <u>provided</u> that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Section 4.1 or 4.3</u>, with respect to any participation, than its participating lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent that such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation.

SECTION 11.12&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Other Transactions</u>. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Agent or any of the Lenders, from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by the Loan Documents, with a Credit Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates in which such Credit Party or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.

SECTION 11.13&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction</u>. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE AGENT, THE LENDERS (OR ANY OF THEM), OR ANY CREDIT PARTY (OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES) IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED IN THE COURTS OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; <u>PROVIDED</u> THAT, ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT THE AGENT'S OR SUCH LENDER'S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK AT THE ADDRESS FOR NOTICES SPECIFIED IN <u>SECTION 11.2</u>. EACH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY PARTY HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT

------

SECTION 11.14&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Waiver of Jury Trial</u>. THE AGENT, EACH OF THE LENDERS, AND THE CREDIT PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, EACH LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE AGENT, THE LENDERS OR THE CREDIT PARTIES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the "<u>Maximum Rate</u>"). If the Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 11.16&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise

SECTION 11.17&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Judgment Currency</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency (the "<u>first currency</u>") into another currency (the "<u>other currency</u>"), the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency at the applicable buying spot rate of exchange in the New York foreign exchange market on the Business Day immediately preceding that on which any such judgment, or any relevant part thereof, is given.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The obligations of the Credit Parties in respect of any sum due to the Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency the Agent may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase Dollars with such other currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Agent in Dollars, the Credit Parties agree, jointly and severally, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Agent against such loss.

SECTION 11.18&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Specified Repayment Fee</u>. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent the Specified Repayment Fee is applicable to any repayment or prepayment of principal of any Loan at any time, such Specified Repayment Fee is not intended to be a penalty assessed as a result of any such repayment or prepayment of the Loans, but rather is the product of a good faith, arm's length commercial negotiation between the Borrower and the Lenders relating to the mutually satisfactory compensation payable to the Lenders by the Borrower in respect of the Loans made hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Credit Parties hereby jointly and severally waive any rights or claims any of them may have under any such applicable law (whether or not in effect on the Closing Date) that would prohibit or restrict the payment of the Specified Repayment Fee under any of the circumstances provided herein or in any other Loan Document, including payment after acceleration of the Loans.

ARTICLE XII

GUARANTEE

SECTION 12.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>The Guarantee</u>. Each of Holdings, the Subsidiary Guarantors and any other Person that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor after the Closing Date hereby guarantees to the Agent and the Lenders, and their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the full and prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) and performance of the indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders under or in connection with this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, including all unpaid principal of the Loans, all interest accrued thereon, all fees due under this Agreement and all other amounts payable by the Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders hereunder or in connection herewith. The terms "indebtedness," "liabilities" and "obligations" are used herein in their most comprehensive sense and include any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities, now existing or hereafter arising, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, and whether recovery upon such indebtedness, liabilities and obligations may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim in any insolvency proceeding and including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any insolvency proceeding naming such Credit Party or such Subsidiary as the debtor in such insolvency proceeding. The foregoing indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of the Borrower, and all other indebtedness, liabilities and obligations to be paid or performed by Holdings and/or the Subsidiary Guarantors in connection with this Section shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the "<u>Guaranteed Obligations</u>."

SECTION 12.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Obligations Unconditional</u>. The obligations of Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors under <u>Section 12.1</u> are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this <u>Section 12.1</u> that the obligations of Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances other than the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of Holdings or the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;at any time or from time to time, without notice to Holdings or the Subsidiary Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be done or omitted;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Secured Parties as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected.

Each of Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Agent or the Lenders exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 12.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Reinstatement</u>. The obligations of Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this <u>Article XII</u> shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each of Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees that it will indemnify the Agent and the Lenders on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of one primary counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) incurred by such Persons in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

SECTION 12.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Subrogation</u>. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall be satisfied in full (other than inchoate indemnification, expense reimbursement obligations and other contingent obligations for which no claim has been asserted), neither Holdings nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall directly or indirectly exercise, (i) any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation under this <u>Article XII,</u> by any payment hereunder or otherwise, (ii) any rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or similar suretyship claims arising out of this <u>Article XII</u> or (iii) any other right which it might otherwise have or acquire (in any way whatsoever) which could entitle it at any time to share or participate in any right, remedy or security of the Agent or any Lender as against the Borrower or other Credit Parties (or any of their Subsidiaries), whether in connection with this <u>Article XII</u>, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise. If any amount shall be paid to Holdings or the Subsidiary Guarantors on account of the foregoing rights at any time when all the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 12.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Remedies</u>. Each of Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees that, as between Holdings or any Subsidiary Guarantor, on one hand, and the Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents may be

------

declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in <u>Article IX</u> (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in <u>Article IX)</u> for purposes of <u>Section 12.1</u> notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes of <u>Section 12.1</u>.

SECTION 12.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Instrument for the Payment of Money</u>. Each of Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this <u>Article XII</u> constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that the Agent and the Lenders, at their sole option, in the event of a dispute by Holdings or any Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to proceed by motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint pursuant to N.Y. Civ. Prac. L&R § 3213.

SECTION 12.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Continuing Guarantee</u>. The guarantee in this <u>Article XII</u> is a continuing guaranty and agreement of subordination relating to any Guaranteed Obligations, including Guaranteed Obligations which may exist continuously or which may arise from time to time under successive transactions, and each of Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors expressly acknowledges that the guarantee in this <u>Article XII</u> shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that there may be periods in which no Guaranteed Obligations exist. The guarantee in this <u>Article XII</u> shall continue in effect and be binding upon Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors until payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification, expense reimbursement obligations and other contingent obligations for which no claim has been asserted).

SECTION 12.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations</u>. In any action or proceeding involving any provincial, territorial or state corporate law, or any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of Holdings or any Subsidiary Guarantor under <u>Section 12.1</u> would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under <u>Section 12.1,</u> then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by Holdings, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Agent, the Lenders or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of <u>Section 11.11(b)</u> relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (e).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Evidence of Payments</u>. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment satisfactory to the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Majority Lenders acting reasonably).

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs <u>(g)(ii)(A)</u>, <u>(ii)(B)</u> and <u>(ii)(D)</u> of this Section) shall not be required if in such Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

------

with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Treatment of Certain Refunds</u>. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Survival</u>. Each party's obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 4.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payments, Computations; Proceeds of Collateral, Etc</u>. The parties hereto agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless otherwise expressly provided in a Loan Document, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to each Loan Document shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date due in same day or immediately available funds to such account as the Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the next succeeding Business Day. All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days. Payments due on other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with that payment.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All amounts received as a result of the exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents (including from the proceeds of collateral securing the Obligations) or under applicable law shall be applied upon receipt to the Obligations as follows: (i) first, to the payment in full in cash of all interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, whether or not permitted as a claim under such law) and fees owing under the Loan Documents, and all costs and expenses owing to the Agent and the Lenders (or any of them) pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, until paid in full in cash, (ii) second, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in <u>clause (b)(i)</u>, to the payment of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, (iii) third, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in <u>clauses (b)(i)</u> and <u>(b)(ii)</u>, to the payment of all other Obligations owing to the Agent and the Lenders (or any of them), and (iv) fourth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in <u>clauses (b)(i)</u> through <u>(b)(iii)</u>, and following the Termination Date, to the Borrower or any other Person lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

SECTION 4.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Setoff</u>. Each Lender and the Agent shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default described in <u>clauses (i)</u> through <u>(iv)</u>, inclusive, of <u>Section 9.1(h)</u> or, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), and (as security for such Obligations) each Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries hereby grants to each Lender and the Agent a continuing security interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) or moneys of each Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries then or thereafter maintained with such Lender or the Agent, as applicable. Each Lender and the Agent agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such appropriation and application made by such Lender or the Agent, as applicable; <u>provided</u> that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender and the Agent under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, may have.

SECTION 4.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Inability to Determine Rates</u>.

Subject to <u>Section 4.10</u>, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that "Term SOFR" cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, and the Majority Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Agent,

the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.

Upon notice thereof by the Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Agent (with respect to <u>clause (b)</u>, at the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to an ABR Loan in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans at the end of the

------

applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to <u>Section 4.2</u>. Subject to <u>Section 4.10</u>, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that "Term SOFR" cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on ABR Loans shall be determined by the Agent without reference to <u>clause (iii)</u> of the definition of "ABR" until the Agent revokes such determination.

SECTION 4.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Sharing of Payments</u>. If any Lender will, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on the Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its Pro Rata Share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion will (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as will be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments will be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; <u>provided</u> that, (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations will be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii) the provisions of this Section will not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries (as to which the provisions of this subsection will apply).

SECTION 4.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Mitigation</u>. If any Lender requests compensation under <u>Section 4.1</u>, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to <u>Section 4.3</u>, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to <u>Section 4.1</u> or <u>4.3</u>, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

SECTION 4.9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Illegality</u>. If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Agent), (a) any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which ABR Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to <u>clause (iii)</u> of the definition of "ABR", in each case until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans to ABR Loans (the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to <u>clause (iii)</u> of the definition of "ABR"), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, and (ii) if necessary to

------

avoid such illegality, the Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the ABR without reference to <u>clause (iii)</u> of the definition of "ABR," in each case until the Agent is advised in writing by each affected Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to <u>Section 4.2</u>.

SECTION 4.10&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Benchmark Replacement Setting.Benchmark Replacement</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this <u>Section 4.10(a)(i)</u> will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No Hedging Agreement shall be deemed to be a "Loan Document" for purposes of this <u>Section 4.10</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes</u>. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations</u>. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to <u>Section 4.10(d</u>) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this <u>Section 4.10</u>, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this <u>Section 4.10</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for

------

Financial Benchmarks, then the Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Benchmark Unavailability Period</u>. Upon the Borrower's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Loan of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for or conversion to ABR Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.

ARTICLE X

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 10.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Appointment</u>. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Hayfin Services LLP to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this <u>Article X</u> are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and neither any Credit Party nor any of its respective Subsidiaries will have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term "agent" herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable

------

law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

SECTION 10.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Rights as a Lender</u>. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder will have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" will, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or any of its Affiliates as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

SECTION 10.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Exculpatory Provisions</u>.The Agent will not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder are administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;will not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;will not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as will be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); <u>provided</u> that the Agent will not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;will not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and will not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Agent will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as will be necessary, or as the Agent believes in good faith will be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in <u>Sections 9.2</u>, <u>9.3</u>, and <u>11.1</u>) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Agent will be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Lender.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Agent will not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set

------

forth in <u>Article V</u> or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

SECTION 10.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Reliance by Agent</u>. The Agent will be entitled to rely upon, and will not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and will not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of the Loans that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loans. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 10.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Delegation of Duties</u>. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this <u>Article X</u> will apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Agent and any such sub-agent and will apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the facility as well as activities as the Agent. The Agent will not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

SECTION 10.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Resignation of Agent</u>.The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders will have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (unless an Event of Default is in existence), to appoint a successor. If no such successor will have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and will have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as will be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the "<u>Resignation Effective</u> <u>Date</u>"), then the retiring Agent may (but will not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation will become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent will continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent will instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as the Agent hereunder, such successor will succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Agent), and the retiring Agent will be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent will be the same as those payable to its

------

predecessor unless otherwise agreed among the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this <u>Article X</u>, <u>Section 11.3</u> and <u>Section 11.4</u> will continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as the Agent.

SECTION 10.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders</u>. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it will from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 10.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Agent May File Proofs of Claim</u>. In case of the pendency of any insolvency proceeding or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Loans will then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent has made any demand on the Borrower) will be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid hereunder or under any other Loan Document to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agent under <u>Sections 3.7</u>, <u>3.8</u>, <u>11.3</u> and <u>11.4</u>) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent consents to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under <u>Sections 3.7</u>, <u>3.8</u>, <u>11.3</u> and <u>11.4</u>.

SECTION 10.9&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Collateral and Guaranty Matters</u>.Without limiting the provisions of <u>Section 10.8,</u> the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document (A) on the Termination Date (or such other date on which all Obligations then outstanding have been paid in full), (B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Loan Documents or (C) subject to <u>Section 11.1</u>, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to release any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.

------

Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Majority Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent's authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of Collateral, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to this <u>Section 10.9</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Agent will not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Agent's Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by the Borrower in connection therewith, nor will the Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Agent is authorized on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Lenders, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or any Security Agreement which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens on the Collateral granted pursuant to any such Security Agreement or protect and preserve the Agent's ability to enforce the Liens or realize upon the Collateral.

The entries in the Register shall

------

be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes under this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Credit Party and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

The Lenders may freely assign, participate or otherwise transfer any or all of their rights and/or obligations hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents (in each case, other than to a Disqualified Institution); <u>provided</u> that, except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or related funds, (i) so long as no Event of Default pursuant to <u>Section 9.1(a)</u> or <u>Section 9.1(h)</u> has occurred and is continuing, there shall be no assignment, sale or participation to any Person without the written consent of the Borrower (except in each case with respect to a Disqualified Institution, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such consent to be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within ten (10) Business Days of a request for such consent), and (ii) any such assignment, sale or participation shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender's then outstanding Loans).

The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as the Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of <u>Sections</u> <u>4.1</u>, <u>4.2</u> and <u>4.3</u> (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under <u>Section 4.3(g)</u> (it being understood that the documentation required under <u>Section 4.3(g)</u> shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; <u>provided</u> that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under <u>Section 4.1 or 4.3</u>, with respect to any participation, than its participating lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent that such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation.

SECTION 11.12&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Other Transactions</u>. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Agent or any of the Lenders, from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by the Loan Documents, with a Credit Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates in which such Credit Party or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.

SECTION 11.13&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction</u>.

In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency (the "<u>first currency</u>") into another currency (the "<u>other currency</u>"), the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency at the applicable buying spot rate of exchange in the New York foreign exchange market on the Business Day immediately preceding that on which any such judgment, or any relevant part thereof, is given.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent the Specified Repayment Fee is applicable to any repayment or prepayment of principal of any Loan at any time, such Specified Repayment Fee is not intended to be a penalty assessed as a result of any such repayment or prepayment of the Loans, but rather is the product of a good faith, arm's length commercial negotiation between the Borrower and the Lenders relating to the mutually satisfactory compensation payable to the Lenders by the Borrower in respect of the Loans made hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Credit Parties hereby jointly and severally waive any rights or claims any of them may have under any such applicable law (whether or not in effect on the Closing Date) that would prohibit or restrict the payment of the Specified

Repayment Fee under any of the circumstances provided herein or in any other Loan Document, including payment after acceleration of the Loans.

Each Lender and other party hereto waives the discharge for value defense in respect of any such payment.

SECTION 11.21&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Reaffirmation</u>. Each Credit Party as borrower, debtor, grantor, pledgor, guarantor, assignor or in any other similar capacity in which such Credit Party has granted liens or security interests in its property or otherwise acts as accommodation party, under any instruments, documents and agreements entered into in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement that will remain outstanding to secure the Obligations hereunder, hereby (a) ratifies and reaffirms all of its performance and observance obligations and liabilities, whether contingent or otherwise, under each of such instruments, documents and agreements and (ii) ratifies and reaffirms such grant of security interests and liens and confirms and agrees that such security interests and liens hereafter secured all of the Obligations hereunder.

Each of Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Agent or the Lenders exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 12.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Reinstatement</u>. The obligations of Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this <u>Article XII</u> shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each of Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees that it will indemnify the Agent and the Lenders on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of one primary counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) incurred by such Persons in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

SECTION 12.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Subrogation</u>. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall be satisfied in full (other than inchoate indemnification, expense reimbursement obligations and other contingent obligations for which no claim has been asserted), neither Holdings nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall directly or indirectly exercise, (i) any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation under this <u>Article XII</u>, by any payment hereunder or otherwise, (ii) any rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or similar suretyship claims arising out of this <u>Article XII</u> or (iii) any other right which it might otherwise have or acquire (in any way whatsoever) which could entitle it at any time to share or participate in any right, remedy or security of the Agent or any Lender as against the Borrower or other Credit Parties (or any of their Subsidiaries), whether in connection with this <u>Article XII</u>, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise. If any amount shall be paid to Holdings or the Subsidiary Guarantors on account of the foregoing rights at any time when all the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 12.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Remedies</u>. Each of Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees that, as between Holdings or any Subsidiary Guarantor, on one hand, and the Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in <u>Article IX</u> (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in <u>Article IX</u>) for purposes of <u>Section 12.1</u> notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes of <u>Section 12.1</u>.

SECTION 12.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Instrument for the Payment of Money</u>. Each of Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this <u>Article XII</u> constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that the Agent and the Lenders, at their sole option, in the event of a dispute by Holdings or any Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder,

------

shall have the right to proceed by motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint pursuant to N.Y. Civ. Prac. L&R § 3213.

SECTION 12.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Continuing Guarantee</u>. The guarantee in this <u>Article XII</u> is a continuing guaranty and agreement of subordination relating to any Guaranteed Obligations, including Guaranteed Obligations which may exist continuously or which may arise from time to time under successive transactions, and each of Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors expressly acknowledges that the guarantee in this <u>Article XII</u> shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that there may be periods in which no Guaranteed Obligations exist. The guarantee in this <u>Article XII</u> shall continue in effect and be binding upon Holdings and the Subsidiary Guarantors until payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification, expense reimbursement obligations and other contingent obligations for which no claim has been asserted).

SECTION 12.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations</u>. In any action or proceeding involving any provincial, territorial or state corporate law, or any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of Holdings or any Subsidiary Guarantor under <u>Section 12.1</u> would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under <u>Section 12.1</u>, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by Holdings, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Agent, the Lenders or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
