Stock Option Agreement 

 EXHIBIT A 

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

(INTERNATIONAL OPTIONEES) 

TERNS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. 

2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 

This Stock Option Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the date of grant (the “Date
of Grant”) set forth on the Notice of Stock Option Grant attached as the facing page to this Agreement (the “Grant Notice”) by and between Terns Pharmaceuticals, Inc., an exempted company incorporated with
limited liability in the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), and the optionee named on the Grant Notice (“Optionee”). Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to them
in the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), or in the Grant Notice, as applicable. This Agreement shall be subject to any additional or replacement terms and conditions
set forth in the Addendum. 
 1. GRANT OF OPTION. The Company hereby grants to Optionee an option (this
“Option”) to purchase up to the total number of Ordinary Shares of the Company, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), set forth in the Grant Notice as the Shares (the
“Shares”) at the Exercise Price Per Share set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Exercise Price”), subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan. If
designated as an Incentive Stock Option in the Grant Notice, this Option is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option (the “ISO”) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”), except that if on the Date of Grant Optionee is not subject to U.S. income tax, then this Option shall be a NQSO. 

2. EXERCISE PERIOD. 

2.1 Exercise Period of Option. This Option is considered to be “vested” with respect to any particular
Shares when this Option is exercisable with respect to such Shares. This Option will become vested during its term as to portions of the Shares in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice. Notwithstanding any provision in
the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, on or after Optionee’s Termination Date, this Option may not be exercised with respect to any Shares that are Unvested Shares on Optionee’s Termination Date. 

2.2 Vesting of Option Shares. Shares with respect to which this Option is vested and exercisable at a given time
pursuant to the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice are “Vested Shares.” Shares with respect to which this Option is not vested and exercisable at a given time pursuant to the Vesting Schedule set forth in
the Grant Notice are “Unvested Shares.” 
 2.3 Expiration. The Option
shall expire on the Expiration Date set forth in the Grant Notice or earlier as provided in Section 3 below. 
 3. TERMINATION.

 3.1 Termination for Any Reason Except Death, Disability or Cause. Except as provided in subsection 3.2 in
a case in which Optionee dies within three (3) months after Optionee is Terminated other than for Cause, if Optionee is Terminated for any reason (other than Optionee’s death or Disability or for Cause), then (a) on and after
Optionee’s Termination Date, this Option shall expire immediately with respect to any Shares that are Unvested Shares and may not be exercised with respect to any Shares that are Unvested Shares on Optionee’s Termination Date and
(b) this Option to the extent (and only to the extent) that it is exercisable with respect to Vested Shares on Optionee’s Termination Date, may be exercised by Optionee no later than three (3) months after Optionee’s
Termination Date (but in no event may this Option be exercised after the Expiration Date). 

 3.2 Termination Because of Death or Disability. If Optionee is
Terminated because of Optionee’s death or Disability (or if Optionee dies within three (3) months of the date of Optionee’s Termination for any reason other than for Cause), then (a) on and after Optionee’s Termination Date,
this Option shall expire immediately with respect to any Shares that are Unvested Shares and may not be exercised with respect to any Shares that are Unvested Shares on Optionee’s Termination Date and (b) this Option, to the extent (and
only to the extent) that it is exercisable with respect to Vested Shares on Optionee’s Termination Date, may be exercised by Optionee (or Optionee’s legal representative) no later than twelve (12) months after Optionee’s
Termination Date, but in no event later than the Expiration Date. Any exercise of this Option beyond (i) three (3) months after the date Optionee ceases to be an employee when Optionee’s Termination is for any reason other than
Optionee’s death or disability, within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code; or (ii) twelve (12) months after the date Optionee ceases to be an employee when the termination is for Optionee’s disability, within the
meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, is deemed to be an NQSO. 
 3.3 Termination for Cause. If Optionee
is Terminated for Cause, then Optionee may exercise this Option, but only with respect to any Shares that are Vested Shares on Optionee’s Termination Date, and this Option shall expire on Optionee’s Termination Date, or at such
later time and on such conditions as may be affirmatively determined by the Committee. On and after Optionee’s Termination Date, this Option shall expire immediately with respect to any Shares that are Unvested Shares and may not be exercised
with respect to any Shares that are Unvested Shares on Optionee’s Termination Date. 
 3.4 No Obligation to
Employ. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on Optionee any right to continue in the employ of, or other relationship with, the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, or limit in any way the right of the
Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company to terminate Optionee’s employment or other relationship at any time, with or without Cause. 

4. MANNER OF EXERCISE. 

4.1 Stock Option Exercise Notice and Agreement. To exercise this Option, Optionee (or in the case of exercise
after Optionee’s death or incapacity, Optionee’s executor, administrator, heir or legatee, as the case may be) must deliver to the Company an executed Stock Option Exercise Notice and Agreement in the form attached hereto as
Annex A, or in such other form as may be approved by the Committee from time to time (the “Exercise Agreement”) and payment for the shares being purchased in accordance with this
Agreement. The Exercise Agreement shall set forth, among other things, (i) Optionee’s election to exercise this Option, (ii) the number of Shares being purchased, (iii) any representations, warranties and agreements regarding
Optionee’s investment intent and access to information as may be required by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws in connection with any exercise of this Option and (iv) any other agreements required by the Company. If
someone other than Optionee exercises this Option, then such person must submit documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company verifying that such person has the legal right to exercise this Option and such person shall be subject to all of the
restrictions contained herein as if such person were Optionee. 
 4.2 Limitations on Exercise. This Option may
not be exercised unless such exercise is in compliance with all applicable foreign and U.S. Federal and state securities laws, as they are in effect on the date of exercise. 

4.3 Payment. The Exercise Agreement shall be accompanied by full payment of the Exercise Price for the shares
being purchased in cash (by check or wire transfer), or where permitted by law: 
 (a) by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company owed
to Optionee; 

  
 3 

 (b) by surrender of shares of the Company that are free and clear of all security
interests, pledges, liens, claims or encumbrances and: (i) for which the Company has received “full payment of the purchase price” within the meaning of SEC Rule 144 (and, if such shares were purchased from the Company by use of
a promissory note, such note has been fully paid with respect to such shares) or (ii) that were obtained by Optionee in the public market; 

(c) by participating in a formal cashless exercise program implemented by the Committee in connection with the Plan; 

(d) provided that a public market for the Ordinary Shares exists and subject to compliance with applicable law, by exercising as set forth
below, through a “same day sale” commitment from Optionee and a broker-dealer whereby Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise this Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased sufficient to pay the total Exercise Price, and
whereby the broker-dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the total Exercise Price directly to the Company; or 

(e) by any combination of the foregoing or any other method of payment approved by the Committee that constitutes legal consideration for the
issuance of Shares. 
 4.4 Tax Withholding. As a condition to the exercise of this Option and as further set
forth in Section 4.5 of this Agreement, Optionee agrees to make adequate provision for all applicable income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other
tax-related items related to the Option and Optionee’s participation in the Plan (“Tax-Related Items”). 

4.5 Responsibility for Taxes. Prior to issuance of the Shares upon exercise of the Option, Optionee must pay or
provide for any applicable federal, state and local withholding obligations of the Company or, if different, Optionee’s employer (the “Employer”). Optionee acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the
Employer or the Company (or any Subsidiary or Parent or Affiliate of the Company), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains Optionee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount
actually withheld by the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary, Parent or Affiliate. Optionee further acknowledges that the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Parent or Affiliate of the Company (i) make no representations or
undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of
Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate Optionee’s liability
for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Optionee is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, as applicable, Optionee
acknowledges that the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Parent or Affiliate of the Company may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. Prior to the
relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Optionee agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary, Parent or Affiliate to satisfy all
Tax-Related Items. In this regard, Optionee authorizes the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Parent or Affiliate of the Company, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the
obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding from: (i) a cash payment paid by the Optionee; (ii) Optionee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Optionee,
(iii) proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired at exercise of the Option either through a cashless exercise (provided that a public market for the Common Stock exists) or other voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company
(on Optionee’s behalf pursuant to this authorization) without further consent; and/or (iv) if approved by the Committee, the Shares to be issued upon exercise having a Fair Market Value equal to up to the amount of Tax-Related Items required to be withheld using the maximum applicable tax rate or other metric required under applicable accounting rules. If the Company withholds or accounts for
Tax-Related Items by withholding from the proceeds of the sale of Shares, the Company may consider and apply the maximum applicable rate in the applicable country, in which case Optionee will receive a refund
of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the 

  
 4 

 
common share equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, Optionee is deemed to have been
issued the full number of Shares subject to the exercised Options, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. Finally, the Company may
refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if Optionee fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. 

4.6 Issuance of Shares. Provided that the Exercise Agreement and payment and provision for Tax-Related Items are in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, the Company shall issue the Shares issuable upon a valid exercise of this Option registered in the name of Optionee,
Optionee’s authorized assignee, or Optionee’s legal representative, and shall deliver certificates representing the Shares with the appropriate legends affixed thereto. 

5. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS. The
Plan and this Agreement are intended to comply with Section 25102(o) and Rule 701. Any provision of this Agreement that is inconsistent with Section 25102(o) or Rule 701 shall, without further act or amendment by the Company or the
Committee, be reformed to comply with the requirements of Section 25102(o) and/or Rule 701, to the extent such requirements are applicable. The exercise of this Option and the issuance and transfer of Shares shall be subject to
compliance by the Company and Optionee with all applicable requirements of foreign and U.S. Federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange on which the Ordinary Shares may be listed at the time of such
issuance or transfer. Optionee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the SEC, any state securities commission or any stock exchange to effect such compliance. 

6. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. This Option may not be transferred in any manner
other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and, with respect to NQSOs, by instrument to a testamentary trust in which the options are to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the trustor (settlor) or a revocable trust, or
by gift to “immediate family” as that term is defined in 17 C.F.R. 240.16a-1(e), and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee or in the event of Optionee’s incapacity,
by Optionee’s legal representative. The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, successors and assigns of Optionee. 

7. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. 

7.1 Disposition of Shares. Optionee hereby agrees that Optionee shall make no disposition of any of the Shares
(other than as permitted by this Agreement) unless and until: 
 (a) Optionee shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition
and provided a written summary of the terms and conditions of the proposed disposition; 
 (b) Optionee shall have complied with all
requirements of this Agreement applicable to the disposition of the Shares; 
 (c) Optionee shall have provided the Company with written
assurances, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, that (i) the proposed disposition does not require registration of the Shares under the Securities Act or under any applicable state or foreign securities laws or
(ii) all appropriate actions necessary for compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or of any exemption from registration available under the Securities Act (including Rule 144) or applicable state or foreign
securities laws have been taken; and 
 (d) Optionee shall have provided the Company with written assurances, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company, that the proposed disposition will not result in the contravention of any transfer restrictions applicable to the Shares pursuant to applicable securities laws or adversely affect the Company’s ability to rely on
the exemption(s) from registration under the Securities Act or under any other applicable securities laws for the grant of the Option, the issuance of Shares thereunder or any other issuance of securities under the Plan. 

  
 5 

 7.2 Restriction on Transfer. Optionee shall not transfer,
assign, grant a lien or security interest in, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares which are subject to the Company’s Right of First Refusal described below, except as permitted by this Agreement. 

7.3 Transferee Obligations. Each person (other than the Company) to whom the Shares are transferred by means of
one of the permitted transfers specified in this Agreement must, as a condition precedent to the validity of such transfer, acknowledge in writing to the Company that such person is bound by the provisions of this Agreement and that the transferred
Shares are subject to (i) the Company’s Right of First Refusal granted hereunder and (ii) the market stand-off provisions of Section 8 below, to the same extent such Shares would be so
subject if retained by Optionee. 
 8. MARKET STANDOFF AGREEMENT. Optionee agrees that, subject to any early release
provisions that apply pro rata to shareholders of the Company according to their holdings of Ordinary Shares (determined on an as-converted into Ordinary Shares basis), Optionee will not, for a period of up to
one hundred eighty (180) days (plus up to an additional thirty five (35) days to the extent reasonably requested by the Company or such underwriter(s) to accommodate regulatory restrictions on the publication or other distribution of
research reports or earnings releases by the Company, including NASD and NYSE rules) following the effective date of the registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the SEC relating to the initial underwritten sale of Ordinary
Shares of the Company to the public under the Securities Act or, if such public offering is outside the United States, filed with and declared effective by the relevant regulatory authority (the “IPO”), directly or indirectly
sell, offer to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of any Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into Ordinary Shares, except for: (i) transfers of Shares permitted under Section 9.6 hereof so long
as such transferee furnishes to the Company and the managing underwriter their written consent to be bound by this Section 8 as a condition precedent to such transfer; and (ii) sales of any securities to be included in the registration
statement for the IPO. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section shall only apply to the IPO. The restricted period shall in any event terminate two (2) years after the closing date of the IPO. In order to enforce the foregoing
covenant, the Company shall have the right to place restrictive legends on the certificates representing the Shares subject to this Section and to impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Shares until the end of such period. Optionee
further agrees to enter into any agreement reasonably required by the underwriters to implement the foregoing restrictions on transfer. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not apply to any registration of
securities of the Company (a) under an employee benefit plan or (b) in a merger, consolidation, business combination or similar transaction. 

9. COMPANY’S RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Before any Shares held by Optionee or any transferee of such Shares (either sometimes
referred to herein as the “Holder”) may be sold or otherwise transferred (including, without limitation, a transfer by gift or operation of law), the Company and/or its assignee(s) will have a right of first refusal to
purchase the Shares to be sold or transferred (the “Offered Shares”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (the “Right of First Refusal”). 

9.1 Notice of Proposed Transfer. The Holder of the Offered Shares will deliver to the Company a written notice
(the “Notice”) stating: (i) the Holder’s bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer the Offered Shares; (ii) the name and address of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (the “Proposed
Transferee”); (iii) the number of Offered Shares to be transferred to each Proposed Transferee; (iv) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for which the Holder proposes to transfer the Offered Shares (the
“Offered Price”); and (v) that the Holder acknowledges this Notice is an offer to sell the Offered Shares to the Company and/or its assignee(s) pursuant to the Company’s Right of First Refusal at the Offered Price
as provided for in this Agreement. 

  
 6 

 9.2 Exercise of Right of First Refusal. At any time within
thirty (30) days after the date of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may, by giving written notice to the Holder, elect to purchase all (or, with the consent of the Holder, less than all) the Offered Shares proposed to be
transferred to any one or more of the Proposed Transferees named in the Notice, at the purchase price, determined as specified below. 

9.3 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Offered Shares purchased under this Section will be the Offered
Price, provided that if the Offered Price consists of no legal consideration (as, for example, in the case of a transfer by gift) then the purchase price will be the fair market value of the Offered Shares as determined in good faith
by the Committee. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, then the value of the non-cash consideration, as determined in good faith by the Committee, will conclusively be deemed to be the
cash equivalent value of such non-cash consideration. 
 9.4 Payment.
Payment of the purchase price for the Offered Shares will be payable, at the option of the Company and/or its assignee(s) (as applicable), by check or by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding purchase money indebtedness owed by the
Holder to the Company (or to such assignee, in the case of a purchase of Offered Shares by such assignee) or by any combination thereof. The purchase price will be paid without interest within sixty (60) days after the Company’s receipt of
the Notice, or, at the option of the Company and/or its assignee(s), in the manner and at the time(s) set forth in the Notice. 
 9.5
Holder’s Right to Transfer. If all of the Offered 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, then the
Holder may sell or otherwise transfer such Offered Shares to each Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that (i) such sale or other transfer is consummated within ninety (90) days after the
date of the Notice, (ii) any such sale or other transfer is effected in compliance with all applicable securities laws, and (iii) each Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this Section will continue to apply to the
Offered Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. If the Offered Shares described in the Notice are not transferred to each Proposed Transferee within such ninety (90) day period, then a new Notice must be given to the Company pursuant
to which the Company will again be offered the Right of First Refusal before any Shares held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise transferred. 

9.6 Exempt Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the following transfers of Shares
will be exempt from the Right of First Refusal: (i) the transfer of any or all of the Shares during Optionee’s lifetime by gift or on Optionee’s death by will or intestacy to any member(s) of Optionee’s “Immediate
Family” (as defined below) or to a trust for the benefit of Optionee and/or member(s) of Optionee’s Immediate Family, provided that each transferee or other recipient agrees in a writing satisfactory to the Company that the
provisions of this Section will continue to apply to the transferred Shares in the hands of such transferee or other recipient; (ii) any transfer of Shares made pursuant to a statutory merger, statutory consolidation of the Company with or into
another corporation or corporations or a conversion of the Company into another form of legal entity (except that the Right of First Refusal will continue to apply thereafter to such Shares, in which case the surviving corporation of such merger or
consolidation or the resulting entity of such conversion shall succeed to the rights of the Company under this Section unless the agreement of merger or consolidation or conversion expressly otherwise provides); or (iii) any transfer of Shares
pursuant to the winding up and dissolution of the Company. As used herein, the term “Immediate Family” will mean Optionee’s spouse, the lineal descendant or antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister, child, adopted
child, grandchild or adopted grandchild of Optionee or Optionee’s spouse, or the spouse of any of the above or Spousal Equivalent, as defined herein. As used herein, a person is deemed to be a “Spousal Equivalent”
provided the following circumstances are true: (i) irrespective of whether or not Optionee and the Spousal Equivalent are the same sex, they are the sole spousal equivalent of the other for the last twelve (12) months, (ii) they intend to
remain so indefinitely, (iii) neither are married to anyone else, (iv) both are at least 18 years of age and mentally competent to consent to contract, (v) they are not related by blood to a degree of closeness that

  
 7 

 
which would prohibit legal marriage in the state in which they legally reside, (vi) they are jointly responsible for each other’s common welfare and financial obligations, and
(vii) they reside together in the same residence for the last twelve (12) months and intend to do so indefinitely. 
 9.7
Termination of Right of First Refusal. The Right of First Refusal will terminate as to all Shares: (i) on the effective date of the first sale of Ordinary Shares of the Company to the general public pursuant to a
registration statement filed with and declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act (other than a registration statement relating solely to the issuance of Ordinary Shares pursuant to a business combination or an employee incentive or
benefit plan); (ii) on any transfer or conversion of Shares made pursuant to a statutory merger or statutory consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or corporations if the ordinary shares of the surviving corporation or
any direct or indirect parent corporation thereof is registered under the Exchange Act; or (iii) on any transfer or conversion of Shares made pursuant to a statutory conversion of the Company into another form of legal entity if the
common equity (or comparable equity security) of entity resulting from such conversion is registered under the Exchange Act. 
 9.8
Encumbrances on Shares. Optionee may grant a lien or security interest in, or pledge, hypothecate or encumber Shares only if each party to whom such lien or security interest is granted, or to whom such pledge, hypothecation or
other encumbrance is made, agrees in a writing satisfactory to the Company that: (i) such lien, security interest, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance will not adversely affect or impair the Right of First Refusal or the rights of the Company
and/or its assignee(s) with respect thereto and will not apply to such Shares after they are acquired by the Company and/or its assignees under this Section; and (ii) the provisions of this Agreement will continue to apply to such Shares in the
hands of such party and any transferee of such party. 
 9.9 Effect of Company Co-Sale
Agreement. If Optionee is, or at any time hereafter becomes, a party to or otherwise bound by (i) the Company’s Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement dated as of April 7,
2017 among the Company and certain shareholders of the Company, as such may be amended and/or restated from time to time, and/or (ii) any other agreement that is a successor to or replacement of such agreement (collectively, the
“Company Co-Sale Agreement”), then, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of Section 8 hereof and/or this Section 9 and any provisions in the
Company Co-Sale Agreement granting the Company and/or other security holders of the Company rights of first refusal and/or co-sale rights with respect to any or all of
the Shares or imposing market stand-off restrictions, Optionee agrees with the Company that the terms and conditions of the Company Co-Sale Agreement shall apply,
govern, supersede and prevail over (and in lieu of) the provisions of Section 8 hereof and/or of this Section 9 (as applicable) so long as the Company Co-Sale Agreement is in effect and Optionee is a
party to or bound thereby. If the Company Co-Sale Agreement is no longer in effect or if Optionee is not a party to or bound thereby, then the provisions of this Section 9 shall apply in full force and
effect until termination of the Right of First Refusal and the provisions of Section 8 hereof shall apply in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. 

10. RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. Optionee shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to any Shares unless and
until such Shares are issued to Optionee. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Optionee will have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Shares from and after the date that Shares are issued to
Optionee pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Exercise Agreement until such time as Optionee disposes of the Shares or the Company and/or its assignee(s) exercise(s) the Right of First Refusal. Upon an exercise of the Right of First
Refusal, Optionee will have no further rights as a holder of the Shares so purchased upon such exercise, other than the right to receive payment for the Shares so purchased in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and Optionee will
promptly surrender the share certificate(s) evidencing the Shares so purchased to the Company for transfer or cancellation. 

  
 8 

 11. ESCROW. As security for Optionee’s faithful performance of this
Agreement, Optionee agrees, immediately upon receipt of the share certificate(s) evidencing the Shares, to deliver such certificate(s) to the Secretary of the Company or other designee of the Company (the “Escrow Holder”),
who is hereby appointed to hold such certificate(s) in escrow and to take all such actions and to effectuate all such transfers and/or releases of such Shares as are in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Optionee and the Company agree that
Escrow Holder will not be liable to any party to this Agreement (or to any other party) for any actions or omissions unless Escrow Holder is grossly negligent or intentionally fraudulent in carrying out the duties of Escrow Holder under this
Agreement. Escrow Holder may rely upon any letter, notice or other document executed with any signature purported to be genuine and may rely on the advice of counsel and obey any order of any court with respect to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and will not be liable for any act or omission taken by Escrow Holder in good faith reliance on such documents, the advice of counsel or a court order. The Shares will be released from escrow upon termination of the Right of First
Refusal. 
 12. COMPANY CO-SALE AGREEMENT AND VOTING AGREEMENT. As a material
inducement and consideration for the Company to enter into this Agreement, Optionee hereby agrees that if, the Company requests Optionee to enter into and become a party to (a) the Company Co-Sale
Agreement (and to subject the Shares to the rights of first refusal held by the Company and other Company investors thereunder and the co-sale rights of other investors thereunder and pursuant to which
Optionee would agree to vote all Company shares held by Optionee in favor of certain material transactions, such as mergers or sales of the Company) and/or (b) the Company Voting Agreement (pursuant to which Optionee would agree to vote all
Company shares held by Optionee for the election of directors), then Optionee will enter into such agreements and execute and deliver signature pages thereto (as requested by the Company) in such capacities as the Company requests, at the time of
exercising this Option and as a condition to such exercise or at any later time. 
 13. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS AND STOP-TRANSFER ORDERS.

Optionee and the Company, or any agreement between Optionee and any third party (and any other legend(s) that the Company may become obligated to place on the share certificate(s) evidencing the Shares under the terms of any agreement to which the
Company is or may become bound or obligated): 
 (a) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF

THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. 

(b) THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE AND TRANSFER, INCLUDING THE RIGHT OF FIRST
REFUSAL HELD BY THE ISSUER AND/OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN A STOCK OPTION 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 SALE AND TRANSFER
RESTRICTIONS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL, ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

 13.2 Stop-Transfer

transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records. 
 13.3 Refusal to
Transfer. The Company will 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 have been so transferred. 

14. TAX ADVICE. OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER APPROPRIATELY QUALIFIED IN THE COUNTRY OR COUNTRIES IN WHICH THE OPTIONEE
RESIDES OR IS SUBJECT TO TAXATION BEFORE EXERCISING THE OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES. 
 Optionee has obtained any necessary advice
from an appropriate independent professional adviser in relation to the taxation and social contributions or taxation implications of the grant, exercise, assignment, release, cancellation or any other disposal of this Option pursuant to the Plan
and on any subsequent sale of the Shares. In signing and returning this Agreement, the Optionee is confirming that appropriate advice has been sought from an independent adviser. The Company has not made any representation regarding applicable
taxation implications.

California as such laws are applied to agreements between California residents entered into and to be performed entirely within California. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, then such
provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain fully effective and enforceable. 

19. ADDENDUM. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement, the Option grant shall be subject to any special terms and
conditions set forth in the Addendum for Country-Specific Terms and Conditions to this Agreement for Optionee’s country. Moreover, if Optionee relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the special terms and conditions for such
country will apply to Optionee to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. The Addendum constitutes part of this Agreement. 

20. FURTHER ASSURANCES. The parties agree to execute such further documents and instruments and to take such further
actions as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement. 
 21. TITLES AND HEADINGS.
The titles, captions and headings of this Agreement are included for ease of reference only and will be disregarded in interpreting or construing this Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically stated, all references herein to “sections”

 11 

 23. PERSONAL DATA AUTHORIZATION. Optionee hereby explicitly and unambiguously
consent to the collection, processing, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Optionee’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other award materials by and among, as applicable, the Company, or, if different,
Optionee’s employer (the “Employer”), and its Subsidiaries or Parent for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan. Optionee understands that the Company
and the Employer may hold certain personal information about Optionee, including but not limited to, Optionee’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality,
job title, any shares of Common Stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards or any other entitlement to shares of Common Stock granted, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Optionee’s favor, for the
exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (collectively, “Data”). Optionee understands that Data will be transferred to any third parties assisting the Company with the implementation,
administration and management of the Plan. Optionee understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws
and protections than Optionee’s country. Optionee understands that Optionee may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting Optionee’s local human resources representative. Optionee
authorizes the Company and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other
form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan. Optionee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Optionee’s
participation in the Plan. Optionee understands that Optionee may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein,
in any case without cost, by contacting in writing Optionee’s local human resources representative. Optionee understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing Optionee’s consent may affect Optionee’s ability to participate in the
Plan. For more information on the consequences of Optionee’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Optionee understands that Optionee may contact Optionee’s local human resources representative. 

24. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible given the intent of the parties hereto. If such clause or provision cannot be so enforced, such provision shall be stricken from
this Agreement and the remainder of this Agreement shall be enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable clause or provision had (to the extent not enforceable) never been contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the
value of this Agreement based upon the substantial benefit of the bargain for any party is materially impaired, which determination as made by the presiding court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction shall be binding, then both parties agree to
substitute such provision(s) through good faith negotiations. 
 25. REGULATION S REPRESENTATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS. If
Optionee’s address is an address located outside of the United States, Optionee makes the following additional representations, warranties and agreements: 

25.1 Non-US. Optionee is not a U.S. Person as defined in Rule 902(k) of
Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”). The offer and sale of the Purchased Shares to Optionee was made in an offshore transaction (as defined in Rule 902(h) of Regulation S), no directed selling efforts (as

 12 

 25.3 Registration or Exemption. Optionee will, after the
expiration of the applicable Restricted Period, offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Purchased Shares (or create or maintain any derivative position equivalent thereto) only pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or any available
exemption therefrom and, in any case, in accordance with applicable foreign and state securities laws. 
 25.4 No Transfer in
Violation of Restrictions; Legend. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall not register the transfer of the Purchased Shares in violation of these restrictions. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the certificates

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) WITH THE
UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE COMPANY DOES NOT INTEND TO REGISTER THEM. PRIOR TO A DATE THAT IS ONE-YEAR STARTING FROM THE DATE OF SALE OF THE STOCK, THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED
OR SOLD (INCLUDING OPENING A SHORT POSITION IN SUCH SECURITIES) IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS AS DEFINED BY RULE 902(k) ADOPTED UNDER THE ACT, OTHER THAN TO DISTRIBUTORS, UNLESS THE SHARES ARE REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT, OR AN EXEMPTION FROM
THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT IS AVAILABLE. PARTICIPANTS OF SHARES PRIOR TO ONE-YEAR STARTING FROM THE DATE OF SALE OF THE STOCK, MAY RESELL SUCH SECURITIES ONLY PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM

 TERNS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. 

ADDENDUM 
 COUNTRY-SPECIFIC TERMS
AND CONDITIONS 
 FOR OPTIONEES OUTSIDE THE U.S. 

Terms and Conditions 
 This Addendum
includes additional terms and conditions that govern the Option granted to Optionee under the Plan if Optionee resides and/or works in one of the countries listed below. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in the Plan and/or the Agreement to which this Addendum is attached. 
 If Optionee is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in
which he or she is currently working and/or residing, transfers to another country after the Date of Grant, is a consultant, changes employment status to a consultant position, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes,
the Company shall, in its discretion, determine the extent to which the special terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to Optionee. References to Optionee’s Employer shall include any entity that engages Optionee’s
services. 
 In accepting this Option, Optionee acknowledges, understands and agrees that: 

 

	 	a)	 the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and may be amended,
suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan; 

  

	 	b)	 the grant of the Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to
receive future grants of options, or benefits in lieu of options, even if options have been granted in the past; 

  

	 	c)	 all decisions with respect to future Option or other grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the
Company; 

  

	 	d)	 the Option grant and Optionee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to employment or be
interpreted as forming an employment or service contract with the Company, or, if different, Optionee’s Employer, or any Subsidiary or Parent or Affiliate of the Company, and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or
any Subsidiary or Parent or Affiliate of the Company, as applicable, to provide for a Termination of Optionee’s service; 

  

	 	e)	 Optionee is voluntarily participating in the Plan; 

 

	 	f)	 the Option and any Shares acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or
compensation; 

  

	 	g)	 the Option and any Shares acquired under the Plan and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or
expected compensation for any purpose, including, without limitation, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service
payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments; 

  

	 	h)	 the future value of the Shares underlying the Option is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with
certainty; 

  

	 	i)	 if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, the Option will have no value; 

 

	 	j)	 if Optionee exercises the Option and acquires Shares, the value of such Shares may increase or decrease in
value, even below the Exercise Price; 

	 	k)	 no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Option resulting from the
Termination of Optionee’s service (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Optionee is employed or the terms of Optionee’s employment agreement, if any),
and in consideration of the grant of the Option to which Optionee is otherwise not entitled, Optionee irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company, any of its Parent, Subsidiaries, or Affiliates or the Employer, waives his or
her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company, its Parent, Subsidiaries, or Affiliates and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction,
then, by participating in the Plan, Optionee shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim; 

 

	 	l)	 for purposes of the Option, Optionee’s service will be considered Terminated as of the date Optionee is no
longer actively providing services to the Company or any of its Parent, Subsidiaries, or Affiliates of the Employer (regardless of the reason for such Termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the
jurisdiction where Optionee is employed or the terms of Optionee’s employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by the Company, (i) Optionee’s right to vest in the Option under
the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., Optionee’s period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period
mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Optionee is employed or the terms of Optionee’s employment agreement, if any); and (ii) the period (if any) during which Optionee may exercise the Option after such termination of
Optionee’s service will commence on the date Optionee ceases to actively provide services and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Optionee is employed or terms of Optionee’s
employment agreement, if any; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Optionee is no longer actively providing services for purposes of his or her Option grant (including whether Optionee may still be considered to be
providing services while on a leave of absence); 

  

	 	m)	 unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Option and the benefits
evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Option or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction
affecting the shares of the Company; 

  

	 	n)	 the Option and the Shares subject to the Option are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for
any purpose; and 

  

	 	o)	 neither the Company, the Employer nor any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company shall be liable for
any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Optionee’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Option or of any amounts due to Optionee pursuant to the exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any
Shares acquired upon exercise. 

 Notifications 

This Addendum also includes information regarding exchange controls and certain other issues of which Optionee should be aware with respect to Optionee’s
participation in the Plan. The information is provided solely for the convenience of Optionee and is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2017. Such laws are often complex and
change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Optionee not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of Optionee’s participation in the Plan because the
information may be out of date by the time Optionee vests in or exercises this Option or sells any exercised Shares. 

  
 2 

 In addition, the information contained in this Addendum is general in nature and may not apply to
Optionee’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Optionee of any particular result. Accordingly, Optionee is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the applicable laws in his or her country may
apply to his or her situation. 
 Finally, Optionee understands that if he or she is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or
she is currently residing and/or working, transfers to another country after the Date of Grant, or is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes, the notifications contained herein may not be applicable to Optionee in the same
manner.

 CHINA 

Terms and Conditions 
 Restrictions on
Exercise. The following provisions apply to Optionee if Optionee is a PRC national: 
 Due to legal restrictions, the Option shall become
exercisable by Optionee only at such time as (1) the Shares are publicly traded, quoted or listed on a recognized exchange or securities market, (2) the Shares are not subject to a market stand-off
or lock-up agreement and (3) all necessary exchange control and other approvals from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (the “SAFE”) of the People’s Republic of
China (“PRC”) or its local counterpart have been received for Options granted under the Plan (such date of becoming exercisable, the “Liquidity Date”). In the case of a “combination
transaction” (as defined in the Plan), the Option and the Shares shall be treated as provided in the Plan. 
 In the event that Optionee’s
employment or service with the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent terminates, all unvested portions of the Shares subject to the Options will be forfeited and Optionee must exercise any vested Options within such time set forth in the Notice and
Agreement and in compliance with exchange controls. However, if Optionee’s employment or service with the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent terminates prior to the Liquidity Date, the Company, reserves the right, but not the obligation, to
allow additional forms of payment by Optionee depending on the development of local law. 
 Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement or this Addendum to
the contrary, the Option may not be exercised if (i) if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or (ii) the method of payment of consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable law. 

Transfer and/or Disposition of Shares. The Company may require Optionee to hold Shares acquired pursuant to exercise of the Option with an
escrow agent designated by the Company and/or require Optionee to transfer or sell the Shares pursuant to such policies and procedures as the Company deems appropriate from time to time, including any procedures necessary to obtain approval from the
SAFE or its local agency for the acquisition and disposition of the Shares by Optionee. The Company may require that all proceeds received from the Option be remitted to the PRC if the Company deems such action is necessary or appropriate to comply
with applicable law. 
 Optionee must sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Option in such manner and
subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee determines within such period of time as the Committee may designate from time to time to comply with applicable laws, including requirements and conditions relating to SAFE registration (the
“Disposition Deadline”). Optionee hereby authorizes the Company and appoints the Company as its attorney-in-fact to sell on Optionee’s
behalf any Shares held by Optionee after the Disposition Deadline, without any further action, consent or instruction by Optionee. Optionee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not be held liable to Optionee with respect to its
actions relating to the sale, transfer or disposition of Shares after the Disposition Deadline. 
 Exchange Control Obligations. The following
provision applies to Optionee if Optionee is a PRC national and is provided for informational purposes only: 
 Following the exercise of the Option and
sale of Shares, Optionee must comply with any exchange control repatriation requirements. If Optionee resides in the PRC, Optionee may be required to repatriate to the PRC all proceeds due to Optionee under the Plan, and such repatriation may need
to be effected through a special exchange control account established by the Company or its Parent or Subsidiary in the PRC. In such circumstances, Optionee agrees that the proceeds of the sale of Shares may be transferred

  
 4 

 
to such special account prior to being delivered to Optionee. Optionee further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future to facilitate
compliance with PRC exchange control requirements. 
 The following provision applies to Optionee if Optionee is a
non-PRC national: 
 Optionee understands, acknowledges and agrees that certain exchange control restrictions may
apply, including requirements regarding the remittance of funds out of China to pay the Exercise Price and the remittance into China of any sale proceeds paid on Shares acquired under the Plan. Optionee further agrees to comply with any other
requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements.

AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS OF
OPTIONEE: By signing this Stock Option Exercise Notice and Agreement, Optionee hereby agrees with, and represents to, the Company as follows: 
  

	1.	 Terms Governing. I acknowledge and agree with the Company that I am acquiring the Purchased Shares by
exercise of this Option subject to all other terms and conditions of the Notice of Stock Option Grant and the Stock Option Agreement that govern the Option, including without limitation the terms of the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, as
it may be amended (the “Plan”). 

  
 7 

	2.	 Investment Intent; Securities Law Restrictions. I represent and warrant to the Company that I am
acquiring and will hold the Purchased Shares for investment for my account only, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” of the Purchased Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”). I understand that the Purchased Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from such registration requirement and that the Purchased Shares must
be held by me indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or I obtain an opinion of counsel (in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel) that registration is not required. I acknowledge that
the Company is under no obligation to register the Purchased Shares under the Securities Act or under any other securities law. 

  

	3.	 Restrictions on Transfer: Rule 144. I will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Purchased
Shares in violation of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 144 under the Securities Act described below (“Rule 144”)) or of any other applicable
securities laws. I am aware of Rule 144, which permits limited public resales of securities acquired in a non-public offering, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, which include (without
limitation) that: (a) certain current public information about the Company is available; (b) the resale occurs only after the holding period required by Rule 144 has been met; (c) the sale occurs through an unsolicited
“broker’s transaction”; and (d) the amount of securities being sold during any three-month period does not exceed specified limitations. I understand that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been
satisfied and that the Company has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future. 

  

	4.	 Access to Information; Understanding of Risk in Investment. I acknowledge that I have received and had
access to such information as I consider necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to invest in the Purchased Shares and that I had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the
issuance of the Purchased Shares. I am aware that my investment in the Company is a speculative investment that has limited liquidity and is subject to the risk of complete loss. I am able, without impairing my financial condition, to hold the
Purchased Shares for an indefinite period and to suffer a complete loss of my investment in the Purchased Shares. 

  

	5.	 Rights of First Refusal; Market Stand-off. I acknowledge that
the Purchased Shares remain subject to the Company’s Right of First Refusal and the market stand-off covenants (sometimes referred to as the “lock-up”),
all in accordance with the applicable Notice of Stock Option Grant and the Stock Option Agreement that govern the Option. 

  

	6.	 Form of Ownership. I acknowledge that the Company has encouraged me to consult my own adviser to
determine the form of ownership of the Purchased Shares that is appropriate for me. In the event that I choose to transfer my Purchased Shares to a trust, I agree to sign a Stock Transfer Agreement. In the event that I choose to transfer my
Purchased Shares to a trust that is not an eligible revocable trust, I also acknowledge that the transfer will be treated as a “disposition” for tax purposes. As a result, the favorable ISO tax treatment will be unavailable and other
unfavorable tax consequences may occur. 

  

	7.	 Investigation of Tax Consequences. I acknowledge that the Company has encouraged me to consult my own
adviser to determine the tax consequences of acquiring the Purchased Shares at this time. 

  

	8.	 Other Tax Matters. I agree that the Company does not have a duty to design or administer the Plan or its
other compensation programs in a manner that minimizes my tax liabilities. I will not make any claim against the Company or its Board, officers or employees related to tax liabilities arising from my options or my other compensation. In particular,
I acknowledge that my options (including the Option) are exempt from section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code only if the exercise price per share is at least equal to the fair market value per Ordinary Share at the time the option was granted

  
 8 

	 	
by the Board. Since Ordinary Shares are not traded on an established securities market, the determination of their fair market value was made by the Board and/or by an independent valuation firm
retained by the Company. I acknowledge that there is no guarantee in either case that the Internal Revenue Service will agree with the valuation, and I will not make any claim against the Company or its Board, officers or employees in the event that
the Internal Revenue Service asserts that the valuation was too low. 

  

	9.	 Spouse Consent. I agree to seek the consent of my spouse to the extent required by the Company to
enforce the foregoing. 

  

	10.	 Agreement to Enter into Company Co-Sale Agreement and Company
Voting Agreement. Pursuant to the Stock Option Agreement, if requested to do so by the Company, I agree to enter into and execute the then-current Company Co-Sale Agreement and/or the then-current Company
Voting Agreement concurrently with my exercise of the Option or at any other time I am requested to do so by the Company. I acknowledge that by entering into the Company Co-Sale Agreement I will be subjecting
the Purchased Shares to the rights of first refusal, co-sale rights and all the other provisions of the Company Co-Sale Agreement and that by entering into the Voting
Agreement I will be subjected to voting and other obligations and covenants regarding all Company shares I own and all other provisions of the Company Voting Agreement, in addition to the right of first refusal, repurchase option and market stand-off provisions described above. 

 11. Tax Withholding. As a condition of exercising
this Option, I agree to make adequate provision for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other Tax-Related Items related to my participation in the Plan and
legally applicable to me, as further set forth in the Stock Option Agreement governing the Option. 
 12. Regulation S Representations and
Restrictions. If my address is an address located outside of the United States, I make the following additional representations, warranties and agreements: 

(a) Non-US. I am not a U.S. Person as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the
Securities Act (“Regulation S”). The offer and sale of the Purchased Shares to me was made in an offshore transaction (as defined in Rule 902(h) of Regulation S), no directed selling efforts (as defined in Rule 902(c) of
Regulation S) were made in the United States, and I am not acquiring the Purchased Shares for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person. 

(b) No Offer or Sale. I will not, during the Restricted Period applicable to the Purchased Shares set forth in the legend set forth
below (the “Restricted Period”) and any certificate representing the Purchased Shares, offer or sell any of the foregoing securities (or create or maintain any derivative position equivalent thereto) in the United States, to
or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person or other than in accordance with Regulation S. 
 (c) Registration or Exemption. I
will, after the expiration of the applicable Restricted Period, offer, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Purchased Shares (or create or maintain any derivative position equivalent thereto) only pursuant to registration under the Securities Act
or any available exemption therefrom and, in any case, in accordance with applicable foreign and state securities laws. 
 (d) No
Transfer in Violation of Restrictions; Legend. I acknowledge and agree that the Company shall not register the transfer of the Purchased Shares in violation of these restrictions. I acknowledge and agree that the certificates evidencing the
Purchased Shares will bear the legend set forth below (in addition to any other legend required by applicable U.S. federal, state or foreign securities laws or provided in any other agreement with the Company:

using the terms in the standard Net Sales definition but applying them to the Combination Product rather than to a Covered Product) by the fraction, A / (A+B) where A is the weighted

In the event that the weighted average sale price of the Covered Product can be determined but the weighted average sale price of the other

Sales of the Combination Product by the following formula: one (1) minus (B / C) where B is the weighted average sale price of the other product(s) when sold separately in finished form and C is the weighted average sale price of the

 In the event that the weighted average sale price of both the Covered Product and the other product(s) in the Combination Product

all payments to be made by one Party to the other under this Agreement shall be made in U.S. Dollars by bank wire transfer from such Party’s bank account in immediately available funds to the receiving Party’s bank account designated in
writing by the Party receiving the payment. Sales, costs and expenses, and payments recorded in any foreign currency shall be converted into U.S. Dollars in a manner consistent with Terns’ and Lilly’s customary and usual conversion
procedures used to prepare such Party’s audited financial statements, provided always that such practices are consistently applied and use a widely accepted source of published exchange rates. In each country where the local currency is blocked
and cannot be removed from the country, payments under this Agreement arising from activities in that country for which Licensee, an Affiliate thereof, or any Sublicensee does not receive payment in U.S. currency, freely useable outside of such
country, shall, [***]. 
 7.6    Interest. Each Party shall pay interest on any amounts
overdue under this Agreement at a per annum rate of [***] the average of the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal during the thirty (30) days immediately preceding the due date of such overdue payment. Royalties and other payments
required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement shall, if overdue, bear interest from the day the original payment was due until the day that the payment was received by the payee. The payment of such interest shall not foreclose a Party from
exercising any other rights it may have because any payment is overdue. 
 7.7    Tax Withholding. If any
payments required to be made by a Party under this Agreement are or become subject to withholding taxes (including any value added tax) under Applicable Laws of any state, federal, provincial or foreign government, such Party shall be authorized to
withhold such taxes as are required under Applicable Law, pay such taxes to the appropriate Governmental Authority, deduct them from such payments, and remit the balance due to the other Party net of such taxes. The Party paying the taxes to the
Governmental Authority shall secure and deliver to the other Party an official receipt for taxes paid. In the event that the governing tax authority retroactively determines that a payment pursuant to this Agreement should have been subject to
withholding (or to additional withholding) for taxes, and a Party (the “Withholding Party”) remits such taxes to the tax authority, the Withholding Party will invoice the other Party for such amount, and the other Party will
pay such amount within [***] of the receipt of such invoice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Terns sublicenses or assigns its payment obligations to an Affiliate or to a third-party, and such sublicense or assignment results in a greater amount of
withholding tax which may be subtracted from payments to Lilly than if Terns had fulfilled its payment obligations to Lilly directly, such Affiliate or third-party shall increase the payment to Lilly as necessary such that the amount received by
Lilly after such required income tax withholding is equal to the amount Lilly would have received if Terns had fulfilled such payment obligations to Lilly directly. For clarity, Terns (including its affiliates, assignees, and sub-licensees) is solely responsible for any income tax due in connection with its income under this Agreement. 

7.8    Tax Administration. The Parties agree to fully cooperate with each other to enable each Party to more
accurately determine its own tax liability and to minimize such liability to the extent legally permissible and administratively reasonable. Each Party shall provide and make available to the other Party any exemption certificates, resale
certificates, or other required tax forms reasonably requested by the other Party to support the provisions of this Agreement.

 7.9    Records. Terns shall maintain appropriate records in
either tangible or electronic form of (a) all significant Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization (each as applicable) events and activities conducted by it or on its behalf related to the Covered Product; and (b) all significant
information generated by it or on its behalf in connection with Development of the Covered Product under this Agreement, in each case in accordance with Terns’ usual documentation and cGMP record retention practices. Such records shall be in
sufficient detail to properly reflect, in good scientific manner, all significant work done and results of studies and trials undertaken and further shall be at a level of detail appropriate for patent and regulatory purposes. If reasonably
necessary for a Party to perform its work under this Agreement or to exercise its rights under this Agreement, such Party may request that, and the other Party shall provide within a reasonable timeframe, such information and data regarding its
activities hereunder as is reasonably available and reasonably related its activities under this Agreement; provided that neither Party shall be required to generate additional data or prepare additional reports to comply with the foregoing
obligation. All such reports, information and data provided shall be subject to the provisions of Article 9. 
  

	8.	 LICENSES; EXCLUSIVITY. 

8.1    Exclusive License to Covered Product and Right to Sublicense. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, Lilly hereby grants to Terns, during the Term, an exclusive license (even as to Lilly), under the Lilly Technology to make, have made, use, offer for sale, sell, import, and have imported, including all rights to Develop,
Manufacture, Commercialize, Covered Products in the Field in the Territory, including the right to grant sublicenses at any tier (subject to Article 3.4). 

8.2    China Commercialization Option. On a
country-by-country and Covered Product-by-Covered Product basis, following the Regulatory
Approval of a Covered Product in the Subject Launch Market and if Terns (or Terns’ Sublicensee) decides in good faith to Commercialize such Covered Product in the Subject Launch Market, Terns will provide written notice to Lilly of such
decision, and Lilly shall have a co-promotion option for the Subject Launch Market, exercisable separately for each such Covered Product and each such country in the Subject Launch Market, to assume
responsibility for a certain percentage of the detailing for such Covered Product in the Subject Launch Market to be further negotiated and agreed by the Parties. Each such option can be exercised by written notification to Terns within at [***] of
the date of Terns’ notice of its decision. Upon exercise of such option for such Covered Product, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith on terms for such co-promotion for such Covered Product for
[***] days of Lilly’s notice exercising such option (the “Co-Promotion Option Period”); provided that, if the Parties are not able to reach an agreement with respect to such co-promotion for such Covered Product within the aforementioned [***] period, Terns will have no further obligation to Lilly with respect to the co-promotion of such Covered
Product. Before and during the Co-Promotion Option Period, Terns will not enter into definitive agreements with a Third Party providing such Third Party rights to
co-promote such Covered Product. 
 8.3    No Implied Licenses. Except as
explicitly set forth in this Agreement, neither Party grants any license, express or implied, under its intellectual property rights to the other Party.

	9.	 CONFIDENTIALITY; PUBLICATION. 

9.1    Nondisclosure Obligation. 

(a)    For the Term of this Agreement and [***] thereafter, except in the case of Confidential Information of a Party that
has been identified in writing by such Party as a trade secret, in which case, the obligation contained in this Article 9.1 with respect to such Confidential Information shall be perpetual, the Party receiving the Confidential Information of the
other Party (such receiving Party, the “Receiving Party”) shall keep confidential and not publish, make available or otherwise disclose any Confidential Information to any Third Party, without the express prior written
consent of the Party that disclosed such Confidential Information (the “Disclosing Party”); provided however, the Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information to those of its Affiliates, officers, directors,
employees, agents, consultants and/or independent contractors (including Sublicensees) of such Receiving Party who need to know the Confidential Information in connection with this Agreement and are bound by confidentiality obligations with respect
to such Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall exercise at a minimum the same degree of care it would exercise to protect its own confidential information (and in no event less than a reasonable standard of care) to keep confidential
the Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall use the Confidential Information solely in connection with the purposes of this Agreement. 

(b)    It shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement if the Receiving Party discloses Confidential Information in
order to comply with a lawfully issued court or governmental order or with a requirement of Applicable Law or the rules of any internationally recognized stock exchange; provided that: (i) the Receiving Party gives prompt written notice of such
disclosure requirement to the Disclosing Party and cooperates with Disclosing Party’s efforts to oppose such disclosure or obtain a protective order for such Confidential Information, and (ii) if such disclosure requirement is not quashed
or a protective order is not obtained, the Receiving Party shall only disclose those portions of the Confidential Information that it is legally required to disclose and shall make a reasonable effort to obtain confidential treatment for the
disclosed Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 9.1(a), either Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party if such Party is required to make such disclosure by Applicable Laws, in
response to rules or guidance of the United States Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority, or in other legal processes, including by the rules or regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
or similar regulatory agency in a country other than the United States or of any stock exchange or other securities trading institution and shall disclose only such Confidential Information of such other Party as is required to be disclosed. 

9.2    Publicity; Use of Names. 

(a)    Confidential Terms. Each of the Parties agrees not to disclose to any Third Party the terms and conditions
of this Agreement without the prior approval of the other Party, except to advisors (including consultants, financial advisors, attorneys and accountants), potential and existing investors and acquirers on a need to know basis, in each case under
circumstances that reasonably protect the confidentiality thereof, or to the extent necessary to comply with the terms of agreements with Third Parties, or to the extent required by Applicable Laws, including securities laws. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Parties mutually agree upon an initial press release(s) to announce the execution of this Agreement; thereafter, Lilly and Terns may each 

  
 21 

  
 [***] = [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS
BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED] 

 
disclose to Third Parties the information contained in such press release(s) without the need for further approval by the other. Furthermore, for purposes of clarity, notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement, either Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party if such Party is required to make such disclosure by Applicable Laws, including, in response to rules or guidance of the United States Internal
Revenue Service or other taxing authority, or in other legal processes, including by the rules or regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or similar regulatory agency in a country other than the
United States or of any stock exchange or other securities trading institution and shall disclose only such Confidential Information of such other Party as is required to be disclosed.

BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED] 

 12.3    Patent Oppositions. In consultation with the
Parties’ patent departments, the Parties will mutually decide whether and how to participate in Patent oppositions and undertake activities intended to invalidate Third Party Patents when necessary, at Terns expense. Each Party will keep the

 [***] = [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS
BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED] 

 
Know-How in the Territory, at its cost; provided, however, that Terns shall consult in advance with Lilly regarding such action. If Terns does not abate
such violation of the Lilly Patent or Lilly Know-How by commencement of a lawsuit against the Third Party if necessary, then Lilly shall have the second right (but shall not be obligated) to take all actions
reasonably necessary to abate such violation, including commencement of a lawsuit against the Third Party if necessary, at its cost; The primary objective of any patent enforcement action shall be [***]. All amounts recovered from enforcement of any
such rights by either Party relating to the intellectual property licensed under this Agreement shall be first used to reimburse each Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with such action, and any remainder of such recovery shall
be [***]. 
 (c)    Cooperation in Enforcement Proceedings. For any action by a Party pursuant
to sub-article (b) above, in the event that such Party is unable to initiate or prosecute such action solely in its own name, the other Party will join such action voluntarily and will execute all
documents necessary for such Party to initiate, prosecute and maintain such action. If either Terns or Lilly initiates an enforcement action pursuant to Article 12.6(b), then the other Party shall cooperate to the extent reasonably necessary
and at the first Party’s sole expense (except for the expenses of the non-controlling Party’s counsel, if any). Upon the reasonable request of the Party instituting any such action, such other Party
shall join the suit and can be represented in any such legal proceedings using counsel of its own choice. Each Party shall assert and not waive the joint defense privilege with respect to all communications between the Parties reasonably the subject
thereof. 
 12.7    Defense. 

(a)    Notice. Each Party shall notify the other in writing of any allegations it receives from a Third Party that
the Manufacture, production, use, Development, Commercialization or distribution of any Covered Product or any technology or intellectual property licensed by a Party under this Agreement infringes the intellectual property rights of such Third
Party. Such notice shall be provided promptly, but in no event after more than [***], following receipt of such allegations. Such written notice shall include a copy of any summons or complaint (or the equivalent thereof) received regarding the
foregoing. Each Party shall assert and not waive the joint defense privilege with respect to all communications between the Parties. 

(b)    Conduct of Defense. In such event, the Parties shall agree how best to mitigate or control the defense of
any such legal proceeding, agree whether to enter into a joint defense agreement to, among other reasons, preserve the confidentiality of communications or cooperation between the Parties in relation to such defense, and determine which Party is
best suited to assume the primary responsibility for the conduct of the defense of any such claim at their expense. The other Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate and be separately represented in any such suit at its
sole option and at its own expense. Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Party conducting the defense of the claim. If a Party or any of its Affiliates have been individually named as a defendant in a legal proceeding relating to the
alleged infringement of a Third Party’s Patents or other intellectual property right as a result of the Manufacture, production, use, Development, Commercialization or distribution of the Covered Product, then that Party shall conduct the
defense and the other Party shall be allowed to join in such action, at its own expense.

 (c)    Status; Settlement. The Parties shall keep each other
informed of the status of and of their respective activities regarding any infringement litigation initiated by a Third Party concerning a Party’s Manufacture, production, use, Development, Commercialization or distribution of the Covered
Product or settlement thereof; provided, however, that no settlement or consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of a suit under this Article 12.7(c) may be undertaken by a Party without the consent of the other Party which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 (d)    Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Article 12.7, if a Party is an Indemnifying Party with respect to any Losses stemming from a claim or action by a Third Party alleging infringement of a Third Party’s Patents or other intellectual property right as a result of the
Manufacture, production, use, Development, Commercialization or distribution of the Covered Product or any technology or intellectual property licensed by a Party under this Agreement, Article 11 shall supersede this Article 12.7 with respect to the
defense and settlement of such action or claim to the extent there are conflicts.

Section 101(35A) of Bankruptcy Code). Each Party hereby acknowledges that (i) copies of research data, (ii) laboratory samples, (iii) product samples, (iv) formulas, (v) laboratory notes and notebooks, (vi) data and
results related to clinical trials, (vii) Regulatory Filings and Regulatory Approvals, (viii) rights of reference in respect of Regulatory Filings and Regulatory Approvals, (ix) pre-clinical
research data and results, and (x) marketing, advertising and promotional materials, in each case, that relate to such intellectual property, constitute “embodiments” of such intellectual property pursuant to Section 365(n) of
the Bankruptcy Code. Each Party agrees not to interfere with the other Party’s exercise, pursuant to Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, of rights and licenses to intellectual property licensed hereunder and embodiments thereof and
agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist such other Party to obtain such intellectual property and embodiments thereof in the possession or control of Third Parties as reasonably necessary for such other Party to exercise, pursuant to
Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, such rights and licenses. Each Party shall take any and all action requested by the other Party to ensure that the foregoing provisions of this Article 13.4(b) may be fully effectuated under Applicable
Laws, and, if requested by the other Party, each Party shall procure that any past, existing or future creditor of the other Party irrevocably waives in writing any and all rights that such creditor may have to the intellectual property licensed
hereunder and embodiments thereof. 
 13.5    Termination for Patent Challenge. Lilly may terminate this
Agreement by providing thirty (30) days prior notice to Terns in the event Terns or any of its Affiliates voluntarily, whether directly or indirectly, challenges the validity of the Lilly Patents (or Patents contained in Lilly Developed IP) in
a legal proceeding or supports a Third Party in the challenge of a Lilly Patent in a legal proceeding [***]. In the event a Sublicensee of Terns voluntarily challenges the validity of a Lilly Patent (or Patents contained in Lilly Developed IP),
Lilly may terminate this Agreement hereunder upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Terns, if Terns does not terminate such sublicense agreement or such challenge is not withdrawn or settled (by such Sublicensee or Terns) within the thirty
(30) day notice period. 
 13.6    Effect of Termination. 

(a)    General. Upon the termination of this Agreement in its entirety or on a Covered Product-by-Covered Product and country-by-country basis for any reason, [***]. Termination of
this Agreement for any reason shall not release either Party of any obligation or liability which, at the time of such termination, has already accrued to the other Party or which is attributable to a period prior to such termination.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, termination of this Agreement by a Party shall be without prejudice to other remedies such Party may have at law or equity. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 13.6, neither Party shall be
required to return any upfront payment, milestone payments, or royalties received by a Party prior to the effective date of the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

 (b)    Additional Provisions. Upon termination of this Agreement
pursuant to [***], the following provisions will apply: 
 (i)    Cessation of Ongoing Trials. If there are any
ongoing clinical trials with respect to the Covered Product being conducted by or on behalf of Terns or its Affiliates or Sublicensees at the time of the notice of termination, Terns agrees to promptly terminate such clinical trials in an orderly
manner that ensures patient safety, continuity of treatment, if appropriate, and compliance with Applicable Laws. Upon early termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall cooperate to provide for an orderly cessation of any clinical trials. Each
Party further agrees to take no action or forego taking action if such action or forbearance would in any manner jeopardize patient safety or cause the other Party to violate any Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Parties
agree and acknowledge that any expense or liability associated with the activities contemplated under this Article 13.6(b)(i) shall be entirely borne by Terns. 

(ii)    Wind-Down. Terns shall reasonably cooperate with Lilly to facilitate a smooth, orderly and prompt
transition of any ongoing Covered Product development activities being conducted by or on behalf of Terns or its Affiliates to Lilly or its designee(s), with due regard for patient safety and in compliance with all Applicable Laws. In particular,
Terns shall (i) promptly inform Lilly on the status of the ongoing clinical trials, including the estimated timelines, budgets and required resources, and answer any reasonable question Lilly may have regarding such clinical trials at
Lilly’s cost; and (ii) wind down in an orderly fashion any clinical trials and cease all other development activities, or, at the election of Lilly, if practicable under Applicable Laws, Terns shall permit Lilly to take over such
development activities, with Lilly paying any costs incurred by Terns, provided that Terns promptly informs Lilly in writing on all material development activities and associated costs and Lilly provides written notice to Terns of its intent
to take over such development activities prior to effective termination of this Agreement or within thirty (30) days after receipt of the information on the ongoing development activities, whichever is earlier. Upon receipt of such notice by
Lilly, if practicable under Applicable Laws, Terns shall: (x) transfer data and information related to the terminated Covered Products that is necessary to advance the program as Terns was advancing such program as of the effective date of
termination; (y) offer to make available Covered Products still on stock at Lilly at a reasonable price and upon terms to be negotiated by the Parties in good faith; and (z) provide all support at Lilly’s cost as reasonably required
for Lilly to take over the development activities, and the Parties shall discuss in good faith the details of a transfer of the respective clinical trials and other development activities to Lilly. If and to the extent Lilly decides to take over the
development activities, Lilly shall be responsible for the costs of such development activities which are being incurred by either Party after the effective date of termination. 

(iii)    Demand for Transfer of Regulatory Approvals. If assignment and transfer is practicable under Applicable
Laws, Lilly shall be entitled to demand from Terns the assignment and transfer of Regulatory Approvals held by Terns, its Affiliates or Sublicensees and if Regulatory Approvals have not been obtained by Terns, its Affiliates or Sublicensees, Lilly
may request that Terns transfers to Lilly the status of any application for the Regulatory Approvals and notifies the competent Regulatory Authority thereof and supplies Lilly with all documents and clinical data already prepared by Terns, its
Affiliates or Sublicensees to the extent necessary for the filing of applications for Regulatory Approvals (with Terns promptly undertaking such actions at Lilly’s cost);

BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED] 

 (iv)    Non-Exclusive
License to Terns’ IP. Terns’ shall grant to Lilly, upon the effective date of such termination a [***], non-exclusive, [***], and worldwide license (with the right to sublicense in multiple
tiers) to the Terns intellectual property solely for purposes of the research, development, registration, manufacture (including formulation), distribution, sale, use, import and/or export of the Covered Products being terminated as such Covered
Products exist as of the effective date of termination and solely to the extent such Terns’ intellectual property has been used for the research, development, registration, manufacture (including formulation), distribution, sale, use, import
and/or export of the Covered Products (as such exist on the date of termination). 
 (v)    Return of Confidential
Information. Upon expiration or other termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party agrees to remove all copies and instances of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, including any data provided by the Disclosing Party
hereunder, from the Receiving Party’s systems and files, and at the Disclosing Party’s discretion either promptly return all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or destroy all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential
Information in its possession, and certify to the same; provided, that, the Receiving Party shall not be required to return copies of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information retained in the Receiving Party’s automatic electronic back-ups, subject to the Receiving Party’s compliance with the obligations of confidentiality and non-use under this Agreement with respect to such Confidential
Information of the Disclosing Party for so long as such back-ups are retained. 

(c)    Non-Exclusive Remedy. If either Party has the right to proceed under
Article 13.3, it may at its sole option, elect either to (i) terminate this Agreement and pursue any legal or equitable remedy available to it or (ii) maintain this Agreement in effect and pursue any legal or equitable remedy available to
it. 
 13.7    Survival. 

The following provisions shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason: Articles 1,7 (to the extent payments
have accrued, and with respect to payments that have accrued, prior to the effective date of termination), 9.1, 9.2(a), 11, 12.1, 13.6, 13.7, 14, and 15. For purposes of clarity, termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever shall not
relieve Terns of its obligations to pay all royalties, milestones and other amounts payable to Lilly which have accrued prior to, but remain unpaid as of, the date of expiration or termination hereof. 

 

	14.	 DISPUTE RESOLUTION 

14.1    Disputes. The Parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise which relate
to either Party’s rights or obligations hereunder. It is the objective of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of such disputes in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation; however, should a dispute arise, the
Parties agree to follow the arbitration procedures set forth in Article 14.2. 

  
 31 

  
 [***] = [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS
BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED] 

 14.2    Arbitration Procedures. In the event of a dispute, that
cannot be resolved through good faith negotiations as set forth above, the dispute shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in the following manner: 

(a)    The dispute shall be settled by arbitration in New York, USA under the Rules of Arbitration of the International
Chamber of Commerce (the “Rules”) in force when the notice of arbitration is submitted in accordance with the Rules. There shall be [***] arbitrators appointed in the following manner: each Party shall nominate an arbitrator for
confirmation as provided in the Rules and following their confirmation, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce; provided, however, that such [***] arbitrator shall
have substantive expertise in the pharmaceutical industry. 
 (b)    The arbitral proceedings shall be conducted in
English. To the extent that the Rules are in conflict with the provisions of this Article 14.2, including the provisions concerning the appointment of the arbitrator, the provisions of this Article 14.2 shall prevail. 

(c)    Each Party to the arbitration shall cooperate with each other Party to the arbitration in making full disclosure of
and providing complete access to all information and documents requested by such other Party in connection with such arbitral proceedings, subject only to any confidentiality obligations binding on such Party. 

(d)    The award of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding upon the Parties a party thereto, and the prevailing
Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award. 
 (e)    Any Party that is a party
to the dispute shall be entitled to seek preliminary injunctive relief, if possible, from any court of competent jurisdiction pending the constitution of the arbitral tribunal. 

 

	15.	 MISCELLANEOUS. 

15.1    Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be held liable to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under
or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in performing any obligation under this Agreement to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from causes beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party including, but not limited
to, embargoes, war, acts of war (whether war be declared or not), insurrections, riots, civil commotions, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances, fire, floods, or other acts of God, or acts, omissions or delays in acting by any Governmental
Authority. The affected Party shall notify the other Party of such force majeure circumstances as soon as reasonably practical, and shall promptly undertake all commercially reasonable efforts necessary to cure such force majeure circumstances. 

15.2    Assignment or Change of Control. 

(a)    Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement and its rights, privileges, and obligations may not
be assigned or otherwise transferred by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided that either Party may assign, without consent but with prior written notice, such Party’s rights and obligations, in whole or in
part, under this Agreement (i) in connection with a merger, consolidation, or sale of substantially all of the 

  
 32 

  
 [***] = [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS
BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED] 

 
assigning Party’s assets related to this Agreement to an unrelated Third Party, (ii) in connection with a Change of Control, or (iii) to an Affiliate of such Party (in which case
the Affiliate to whom any rights or obligations have been assigned shall be considered a “Party” to this Agreement for purposes of such rights and obligations); provided that in the case of an assignment of obligations by Terns to a Terns
Affiliate, if such Terns Affiliate fails to perform such obligations, then Terns shall remain liable in all respects under this Agreement for such obligations, notwithstanding the assignment to such Affiliate. For clarity, Article 15.2(a)(iii)
includes the right for Terns to assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate in Mainland China, and in case of such assignment, such Affiliate would make payments required under this Agreement directly to Lilly. 

(b)    For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” of a Party occurs upon
(i) the closing of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Party to a Third Party in one transaction or series of transactions, (ii) the closing of a merger or other business combination or transaction that results in a
Third Party owning, directly or indirectly, of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of such Party, or (iii) the closing of a transaction, following which a Third Party acquires direct or indirect ability or power to direct or
cause the direction of the management and policies of such Party or otherwise direct the affairs of such Party, whether through ownership of equity, voting securities, beneficial interest, by contract, or otherwise, provided that for the purposes of
this Agreement, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to have taken place if such Change of Control transaction involves a reorganization or similar transaction amongst the direct or indirect shareholders or Affiliates of such Party, following
which a shareholder or Affiliate of such Party emerges as the direct or indirect owner of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities, or owning all or substantially all the assets of the Party, or acquiring the direct or indirect ability
or power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Party. Any assignee must assume in writing the obligations of the assigning Party to which it is the assignee or successor. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Any attempted assignment or transfer of this Agreement not in accordance with this Article 15.2 shall be null and void. 

15.3    Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, unless the absence of the invalidated provision(s) adversely affects the
substantive rights of the Parties. The Parties shall in such an instance use their best efforts to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision (s) with valid, legal and enforceable provision (s) which, insofar as practical,
implement the purposes of this Agreement. 
 15.4    Notices. All notices which are required or permitted
