For purposes of this Sub-Sublease, “Sub-Sublease Year” shall mean each successive twelve (12) month period during the Sub-Sublease Term, with the first such Sub-Sublease Year commencing on the Sub-Sublease Rent Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) and each successive Sub-Sublease Year commencing on the next succeeding anniversary of the Sub-Sublease Rent 
3

Commencement Date; provided, however, (i) the final Sub-Sublease Year shall expire on the Sub-Sublease Termination Date, (ii) if the Sub-Sublease Rent Commencement Date does not occur on the first day of a calendar month, then the first Sub-Sublease Year shall include the partial calendar month in which the Sub-Sublease Term Rent Commencement Date occurs and the following twelve (12) full calendar months thereafter, and (iii) the remaining Sub-Sublease Years shall be the successive twelve (12) month periods following the end of the first Sub-Sublease Year.
*Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sub-Sublease, the payment of Fixed Annual Rent and those items of Additional Rent set forth in Section 5(b)(ii) below (as hereinafter defined) due under this Sub-Sublease will be abated for the first ninety (90) days following the Sub-Sublease Term Commencement Date, with such ninety-first (91st) day following the Sub-Sublease Term Commencement Date being the “Sub-Sublease Rent Commencement Date” for purposes of this Sub-Sublease.  If an event of Default by Sub-Subtenant occurs at any time from and after the Sub-Sublease Term Commencement Date through the Sub-Sublease Rent Commencement Date, then Sub-Subtenant’s right to abate the Fixed Annual Rent and those items of Additional Rent set forth in Section 5(b)(ii) below shall toll (and Sub-Subtenant shall be required to pay such sums during any such period) until Sub-Subtenant has cured such event of Default, and thereafter the abatement shall continue until Sub-Subtenant receives the full abatement including any tolled amounts.
As used herein, “Construction Force Majeure Delay” shall mean an actual delay in the completion of any construction, development or permitting contemplated as part of Sub-Subtenant’s initial occupancy of the Premises, which is caused solely as a result of (a) any governmental actions, including governmental guidelines or mandates, concerning the imposition of limitations on construction activities as a result of an actual or threatened public health emergency (including, without limitation, epidemic, pandemic, and other significant public health risk, including COVID-19), or (b) government or regulatory agency delay with respect to approval or permit process, all of which are beyond the reasonable control of Sub-Subtenant.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Sub-Sublease, if Sub-Subtenant encounters any Construction Force Majeure Delay that prohibits or delays the performance of Sub-Subtenant’s construction, development or permitting of the Premises, then the Sub-Sublease Rent Commencement Date (to the extent the same shall not then have previously occurred) shall be extended by one (1) day for every day of such Construction Force Majeure Delay, in an amount not to exceed sixty (60) days; in each instance commencing from and after the date such Construction Force Majeure Delay occurs until the date on which such Construction Force Majeure Delay ceases.
(b)Additional Rent.
i.All amounts other than Fixed Annual Rent that are due to Sub-Sublandlord from Sub-Subtenant under this Sub-Sublease are hereinafter referred to collectively as “Additional Rent”.  Fixed Annual Rent and Additional Rent may be referred to collectively as “Rent”.  The obligation of Sub-Subtenant to pay Rent and other sums to Sub-Sublandlord and the obligations of Sub-Sublandlord are independent obligations.  Except as expressly provided in this Sub-Sublease, Sub-Subtenant shall have no right at any time to abate, withhold, reduce or set off any Rent due hereunder.
ii.From and after the Sub-Sublease Rent Commencement Date and during the remainder of the Sub-Sublease Term, Sub-Subtenant shall pay to Sub-Sublandlord, as Additional Rent, one 
4

hundred percent (100%) of Sub-Sublandlord’s obligations to make payments to Sublandlord pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Sublease of (i) Operating Expenses, (ii) Taxes, (iii) Landlord’s Property Management Fee, and (iv) Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the Garage, the Project, the Campus and the Premises, which is allocable to the Premises, in the manner and at the same time as set forth in Section 5(a) above with respect to Fixed Annual Rent.
iii.Sub-Sublandlord shall, within a reasonable period of time after Sub-Sublandlord receives corresponding notices or statements from Sublandlord of the estimated monthly payments of Additional Rent due under Section 4 of the Sublease for the Premises, provide to Sub-Subtenant a good faith estimate of the Additional Rent payable from Sub-Subtenant under this Section 5(b) for any calendar year (or part thereof) during the Sub-Sublease Term that such amounts are due, and Sub-Subtenant shall pay to Sub-Sublandlord, at the times and in the manner set forth in Section 5(a) above with respect to Fixed Annual Rent, an amount equal to 1/12th of such good faith estimate (to the extent provided) Additional Rent due for such calendar year or part thereof.  Within thirty (30) days following receipt by Sub-Sublandlord of any annual reconciliation statement of the Additional Rent, as applicable, Sub-Sublandlord will send to Sub-Subtenant a statement together with relevant, non-confidential documentation, establishing the actual Additional Rent payments, as applicable, for such year.  If Sub-Subtenant has paid more in estimated Additional Rent under this Section than the actual amount due from Sub-Subtenant for the applicable year, Sub-Sublandlord shall credit such excess against subsequent obligations of Sub-Subtenant for Additional Rent (or refund such excess to Sub-Subtenant within thirty (30) days if the Sub-Sublease Term has ended and Sub-Subtenant has no further obligation to Sub-Sublandlord).  If Sub-Subtenant has paid less than the actual Additional Rent due under this Section 5(b), Sub-Subtenant shall pay any deficiency to Sub-Sublandlord within thirty (30) days following receipt of the reconciliation documentation from Sub-Sublandlord.
(c)Utilities.  Commencing on the Sub-Sublease Term Commencement Date, and continuing throughout the remainder of the Sub-Sublease Term or such later date as Sub-Subtenant or anyone claiming by, through or under Sub-Subtenant remains in occupancy of the Premises, Sub-Subtenant shall be responsible for payment on all utility charges as Operating Expenses or otherwise in accordance with the Master Lease.  For the avoidance of doubt, as of the Effective Date of this Sub-Sublease, all utilities are separately metered for the Premises.
(d)Additional Charges.  Sub-Subtenant shall also be responsible for its own services, including telephone, facsimile transmitter, internet access, photocopier, and its other business expenses.  In addition, if Sub-Subtenant shall procure any additional services from Sublandlord or Master Landlord, or if additional rent or other sums are incurred for Sub-Subtenant’s sole benefit, including, without limitation, repairs and replacements to the Premises caused or permitted by Sub-Subtenant, Sub-Subtenant shall make such payment to Sub-Sublandlord within thirty (30) days after Sub-Subtenant’s receipt of an invoice.  Any rent or other sums payable by Sub-Subtenant to Sub-Sublandlord under this Section 5(d) shall constitute and be due as Rent.
(e)Audit Right.  Sub-Subtenant shall be entitled to all rights of “Lessee” under Section 4.10 of the Sublease to cause Sublandlord to exercise Sublandlord’s audit rights under the Master Lease.
(f)    Late Charge; Interest.  If any Rent due from Sub-Subtenant is not received by Sub-Sublandlord when due, Sub-Subtenant shall pay to Sub-Sublandlord a late payment charge of four 
5

percent (4%) of the past-due amount; provided, however, Sub-Sublandlord agrees to waive such late charge two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period, provided that the late payment is made within five (5) business days of Sub-Sublandlord’s written notice demanding payment.  Following Sub-Sublandlord’s second (2nd) waiver of late payment in any twelve (12) month period, Sub-Sublandlord shall provide Sub-Subtenant with written notice that the two (2) waivers have been exhausted for the ensuing twelve (12-) month period prior to Sub-Sublandlord’s assessment of any late charge(s).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sub-Sublandlord’s failure to provide such notice shall not be a waiver of Sub-Sublandlord’s right to impose late charge(s), however, Sub-Subtenant shall not be responsible for the payment of any late charge(s) until such notice is received.  Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Sub-Subtenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount, or prevent Sub-Sublandlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Sub-Sublandlord under this Sub-Sublease or under applicable law.  In addition to the late charge, Rent not paid when due shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of expiration of the applicable cure period for Default set forth in Section 15 below until paid.
6.Insurance.  Sub-Subtenant shall obtain and maintain all insurance types and coverage as specified in the Sublease or Master Lease, as applicable, to be obtained and maintained by Sub-Sublandlord, as subtenant, in amounts not less than those specified in the Sublease or Master Lease, as applicable.  All such policies of insurance shall name Master Landlord, Sublandlord and Sub-Sublandlord as additional insureds thereunder.  Sub-Subtenant’s insurance shall be primary over Master Landlord’s, Sublandlord’s and Sub-Sublandlord’s insurance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Sub-Sublease, Sub-Subtenant shall not be required to obtain and maintain any type of insurance to the extent Master Landlord and Sublandlord do not require such insurance pursuant to the Consent to Sub-Sublease.
7.Indemnification.  
(a)Subject to any applicable waiver of subrogation and/or release provisions applicable to the parties, and except to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Sub-Sublandlord, Sublandlord and Master Landlord or any of their employees, agents, contractors or invitees, Sub-Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sub-Sublandlord and its employees and agents from and against any and all loss, cost, liability, claim, damage and expense, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs, penalties and fines incurred in connection with or arising from any injury, damage or loss (by theft or otherwise) occurring in or about the Premises during the Sub-Sublease Term and arising from any acts, omissions or negligence of Sub-Subtenant, its employees, licenses or agents occurring in or about the Building.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Sub-Sublease, Sub-Subtenant shall not be responsible or otherwise liable for any acts, omissions or negligence occurring in or about the Building, or any injury, damage or loss (by theft or otherwise) occurring in or about the Premises, in each case, for any period of time prior to the Sub-Sublease Term Commencement Date.  Subject to any applicable waiver of subrogation and/or release provisions applicable to the parties, and except to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Sub-Subtenant or any of its employees, agents, contractors or invitees, Sub-Sublandlord shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sub-Subtenant and its employees and agents, from and against any and all loss, cost, liability, claim, damage and expense, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs, 
6

penalties and files incurred in connection with or arising from any negligence or willful misconduct of Sub-Sublandlord or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees.
(b)Sub-Subtenant shall neither do nor permit anything to be done which would cause a default under the Master Lease or Sublease, or termination or forfeiture by reason of any right of termination or forfeiture, reserved or vested in the Master Landlord under the Master Lease or the Sublandlord under the Sublease.  Sub-Sublandlord shall neither do nor permit anything to be done which would cause a default under the Master Lease or Sublease, or termination or forfeiture by reason of any right of termination or forfeiture, reserved by or vested in the Master Landlord under the Master Lease or the Sublandlord under the Sublease.  Sub-Subtenant shall indemnify and hold Sub-Sublandlord harmless from and against all claims of any kind whatsoever by reason of a Default on the part of Sub-Subtenant under this Sub-Sublease.  Sub-Sublandlord shall indemnify and hold Sub-Subtenant harmless from and against all claims of any kind whatsoever by reason of (i) a default beyond notice and cure periods on the part of Sub-Sublandlord under this Sub-Sublease, (ii) any termination of the Master Lease or Sublease resulting solely from a default beyond notice and cure periods on the part of Sub-Sublandlord under the Sublease, except if such default results from the acts or omissions of Sub-Subtenant in violation of the first sentence of this Section 7(b) above, and (iii) any voluntary termination of the Sublease in violation of Section 8(a) of this Sub-Sublease below.

As between Sub-Subtenant and Sub-Sublandlord, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Sublease and/or Master Lease, on the one hand, and this Sub-Sublease, on the other hand, this Sub-Sublease shall govern and control. 
10.Benefits of the Sublease and Master Lease.  Sub-Sublandlord agrees that Sub-Subtenant shall be entitled to receive all warranties, indemnifications, abatements, waivers, guaranties, releases, rights, services, utilities, repairs and restorations to be provided by Master Landlord and/or Sublandlord under the Master and/or Sublease, as applicable, and Sub-Sublandlord shall enforce any of the foregoing upon Sub-Subtenant’s written request therefor at Sub-Subtenant’s sole cost and expense (but in no event shall Sub-Sublandlord in the exercise of such request be obligated to commence litigation as against Sublandlord or Master Landlord).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sub-Subtenant may pursue on behalf of Sub-Sublandlord any remedies that may be available against Master Landlord or Sublandlord under the Master Lease and/or Sublease to the extent permitted in the Consent to Sub-Sublease, and Sub-Sublandlord shall diligently and in good faith cooperate with Sub-Subtenant in connection with the foregoing at Sub-Subtenant’s expense.  Sub-Subtenant shall look solely to Master Landlord for all services, utilities, repairs and restorations under the Master Lease and shall not require Sub-Sublandlord or Sublandlord to perform any such services, utilities, repairs and restorations.  Sub-Sublandlord shall not be obligated to (i) directly provide any of the services or utilities, including cleaning, that Master Landlord has agreed to provide in the Master Lease and as incorporated into the Sublease, (ii) directly make any of the repairs or restorations that Master Landlord has agreed in the Master Lease to make and as incorporated into the Sublease, or (iii) take any action that Master Landlord has agreed in the Master Lease to take, or take any action that Sublandlord has agreed in the Sublease to take, and Sub-Sublandlord shall have no liability to Sub-Subtenant on account of any failure of Master Landlord or Sublandlord, as applicable, to do so.  Sub-Sublandlord agrees, upon Sub-Subtenant’s request, to use reasonable efforts at Sub-
10

Subtenant’s expense, to (a) cause Master Landlord or Sublandlord to provide the services or utilities or make the repairs or restorations described in the Master Lease or Sublease, as applicable, or (b) to obtain Master Landlord’s or Sublandlord’s consent or approval wherever required by the Master Lease or Sublease, as applicable.  Sub-Sublandlord agrees that if under the Master Lease or Sublease any right or remedy of Sub-Sublandlord or any duty or obligation of Master Landlord or Sublandlord is subject to or conditioned upon Sub-Sublandlord making any demand upon Master Landlord or Sublandlord or giving any notice or request to Master Landlord or Sublandlord then, if Sub-Subtenant shall so request, Sub-Sublandlord, at Sub-Subtenant’s expense, shall make such demand or give such notice or request on Sub-Sublandlord’s behalf, except that Sub-Sublandlord shall not be required to do so with respect to any act or thing as to which Sub-Sublandlord shall have determined in accordance with this Sub-Sublease to withhold its consent or approval.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sub-Sublease, if Sub-Sublandlord shall actually receive an abatement of any rent (including, without limitation, Base Rent, Additional Rent, Rental, Operating Expenses, Operating Expense Payments (as defined in the Sublease), Taxes and/or Landlord’s Property Management Fee), for any reason under the Sublease and/or Master Lease with respect to the Sub-Sublease Term, then Sub-Subtenant shall be entitled to receive from Sub-Sublandlord such abatement.
11.Direct Performance.  At any time by written notice to Sub-Subtenant, Sub-Sublandlord may elect to require Sub-Subtenant to perform its obligations under this Sub-Sublease directly to Sublandlord, and Sub-Subtenant shall do so on Sub-Sublandlord’s election, in which event Sub-Subtenant shall send to Sub-Sublandlord from time to time copies of all notices and other communications that it shall send to and receive from Sublandlord.  Sub-Subtenant may also perform Sub-Sublandlord’s obligations if directed in writing by Master Landlord or Sublandlord and thereafter shall be released of the obligation to perform such obligations to Sub-Sublandlord until directed in writing by Master Landlord or Sublandlord, as applicable.
12.Repairs; Alterations.
(a)Approval Required.  Sub-Subtenant at its own cost shall keep the Premises in good condition and repair and in accordance with the applicable terms of the Sublease and Master Lease.  Sub-Subtenant shall not perform or cause to be performed any interior or exterior improvements to the Premises (“Sub-Subtenant Alterations”) without the prior written consent of Sublandlord and Master Landlord to the extent required under the terms of the Sublease and Master Lease, as applicable, and the Consent to Sub-Sublease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Sub-Sublease, for the avoidance of doubt, Sub-Subtenant shall not be required to obtain Sub-Sublandlord’s consent with respect to any Sub-Subtenant Alterations.  Sub-Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord and/or Master Landlord, if applicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Sublease and/or Master Lease, for costs Sub-Sublandlord may be liable for under the Master Lease or Sublease in connection with reviewing Sub-Subtenant’s proposed Sub-Subtenant Alterations.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Sub-Sublandlord charge a separate construction management or oversight fee or for any of its third party costs or expenses in connection with this Sub-Sublease.
(b)Removal.  Prior to expiration of the Sub-Sublease Term or earlier termination of this Sub-Sublease, if Sublandlord or Master Landlord so directs in accordance with the terms of the 
11

Sublease or Master Lease, as applicable, Sub-Subtenant shall remove all of the Sub-Subtenant Alterations and restore the Premises to the same condition as of the Sub-Sublease Term Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Sub-Sublease, Sub-Sublandlord shall not be permitted to require Sub-Subtenant to remove or restore any Sub-Subtenant Alterations, including any computer, security, roof equipment or installations, and telecommunications wiring and cable and other related wiring, unless either Master Landlord or Sublandlord requires such removal or restoration of such Sub-Subtenant Alterations in accordance with the terms of the Sublease or Master Lease, as applicable.  For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sub-Sublease, Sub-Subtenant shall not be required to remove or otherwise restore any alterations, improvements or additions existing as of the Sub-Sublease Term Commencement Date, and Sub-Subtenant shall not assume any restoration obligations of Sub-Sublandlord or Sublandlord with respect to such alterations, improvements or additions.
13.Assigning and Subletting.
(a)Consent Required.  Sub-Sublandlord shall have all of the rights of Master Landlord under Section 22 of the Master Lease, as if Sub-Sublandlord were the “Landlord” and Sub-Subtenant were the “Tenant”.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Sub-Sublease, Sub-Sublandlord shall have no right to recapture or otherwise terminate this Sub-Sublease in connection with any assignment, sublease or other transfer by Sub-Subtenant as described in Section 9.05 of the Sublease except if Sublandlord elects to recapture in accordance with the terms of the Sublease.
(b)No Release of Sub-Subtenant.  Regardless of Sub-Sublandlord’s, Sublandlord’s and Master Landlord’s consent, no subletting or assignment shall release Sub-Subtenant of Sub-Subtenant’s obligation or alter the primary liability of Sub-Subtenant to pay the Rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Sub-Subtenant under this Sub-Sublease.  The acceptance of Rent by Sub-Sublandlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Sub-Sublandlord of any provision of this Sub-Sublease.  In the event of Default by Sub-Subtenant or any successor or assignee which remains uncured after any applicable notice and cure periods, if any, Sub-Sublandlord may proceed directly against Sub-Subtenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee or successor.
14.Use.  Sub-Subtenant shall use and occupy the Premises solely for those uses permitted by the Master Lease, the Sublease and the Consent to Sub-Sublease; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.03 of the Sublease, the parties acknowledge it is Sub-Subtenant’s intent to use the Premises for laboratory, assembly space, a full cooking kitchen(s)/café(s), and food delivery areas in addition to general office use, all as consistent with class A buildings of similar nature in the Cambridge market and in compliance with applicable laws.  Sub-Sublandlord shall not object to Sub-Subtenant’s use of the Premises for any purpose provided that Sublandlord and Master Landlord shall agree to the same in writing.
15.Default.  The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a material breach of this Sub-Sublease and a “Default” by Sub-Subtenant: (a) failure to pay Rent within five (5) business days after written notice from Sub-Sublandlord to Sub-Subtenant of such late payment; and (b) all of 
12

those items of default set forth in the Master Lease, which remain uncured after the cure period provided in the Master Lease, less the number of days set forth in Section 9(c) above.
16.Intentionally Omitted.
17.Confidentiality.  Except as expressly permitted in this Section 17, neither party nor its agents, servants, employees, invitees and contractors will, without the prior written consent of the other party, disclose any Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) of the other party to any third party.  Information will be considered “Confidential Information” of a party if either:  (a) it is disclosed by the party to the other party in tangible form and is conspicuously marked “Confidential”, “Proprietary” or the like; or (b) it is disclosed by one party to the other party in non-tangible form and is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure.  In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Sub-Sublease to the contrary, the terms of this Sub-Sublease (but not its mere existence) will be deemed Confidential Information of each party.  Other than the terms and conditions of this Sub-Sublease, information will not be deemed Confidential Information hereunder if such information:  (i) is known to the receiving party prior to receipt from the disclosing party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party; (ii) becomes known (independently of disclosure by the disclosing party) to the receiving party directly or indirectly from a source other than one having an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party; (iii) becomes publicly known or otherwise ceases to be secret or confidential, except through a breach of this Sub-Sublease by the receiving party; or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party.  The terms and conditions of this Sub-Sublease will cease being confidential if, and only to the extent that, they become publicly known, except through a breach of this Sub-Sublease by the receiving party.  Each party will secure and protect the Confidential Information of the other party (including, without limitation, the terms of this Sub-Sublease) in a manner consistent with the steps taken to protect its own trade secrets and confidential information, but not less than a reasonable degree of care.  Each party may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information where:  (A) the disclosure is required by law or by an order of a court or other governmental body having jurisdiction after giving reasonable notice to the other party with adequate time for such other party to seek a protective order; (B) if in the opinion of counsel for such party, disclosure is advisable or necessary under any applicable securities laws regarding public disclosure of business information; (C) the disclosure is reasonably necessary and is to that party’s or its affiliates’ employees, officers, directors, attorneys, accountants, consultants and other advisors, or the disclosure is otherwise necessary for a party to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this Sub-Sublease, so long as in all cases the disclosure is no broader than necessary and the party who receives the disclosure agrees prior to receiving the disclosure to keep the information confidential; (D) the disclosure is reasonably necessary for a party to conclude a business transaction; or (E) the disclosure is to Sublandlord or Master Landlord and their representatives and legal counsel in connection with obtaining the Consent to Sub-Sublease.  Each party is responsible for ensuring that any Confidential Information of the other party that the first party discloses pursuant to this Section 17 is kept confidential by the person receiving the disclosure.  Without limiting the generality of this Section 17, neither party will, directly or indirectly issue any press release or advertising, or otherwise use the other party’s name for any commercial purposes or use any of the other party’s trademarks, in each case, without the express prior written consent of the other party, to be granted or withheld in such party’s sole and absolute discretion.
13

18.Quiet Enjoyment.  So long as Sub-Subtenant is not in Default under this Sub-Sublease, its quiet enjoyment of the Premises shall not be disturbed or interfered with by Sub-Sublandlord or anyone claiming by, through or under Sub-Sublandlord.
19.Notices.  Sub-Sublandlord shall deliver to Sub-Subtenant copies of all written notices that Sub-Sublandlord shall send to, or receive from, Sublandlord or Master Landlord that are related to the Premises, simultaneously with sending such notices to Sublandlord or Master Landlord and promptly following Sub-Sublandlord’s receipt of any other written notice relating to the Premises.  Whenever any notice or any other communication is required or permitted to be given under any provision of this Sub-Sublease (as, for example, where a party is permitted or required to “notify” another party), such notice or other communication shall be in writing, signed by or on behalf of the party giving the notice or other communication, and shall be deemed to have been given on the earliest to occur of (i) the date of the actual delivery, (ii) if mailed, three (3) business days after the date mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, with postage prepaid, or (iii) if sent with a reputable air or ground courier service, fees prepaid, the date on which such courier represents such notice will be available for delivery, in each case to the respective address(es) of the party to whom such notice is to be given as set forth below, or at such other address of which such party shall have given notice to the other parties as provided in this Section 19.  Legal counsel for any party may give notice on behalf of such party.  The parties intend that the requirements of this Section 19 cannot be waived or varied by course of conduct.

20.Signage.  Sub-Subtenant shall be entitled to all signage in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Sublease and the Master Lease; provided, however, for purposes of Section 18.02 of the Sublease, Sub-Sublandlord shall request Sublandlord request that Master Landlord remove Sublandlord’s name from the monument sign located on the exterior of the Building (the “Monument Sign”), and if Sub-Subtenant elects in its sole and absolute discretion, replace with Sub-Subtenant’s signage on the Monument Sign at any time thereafter, all of which shall be at the sole cost of Sub-Subtenant.

Sub-Subtenant shall have the right to use Two Hundred Sixteen (216) parking spaces in the Garage at the then applicable monthly market rate, subject to the terms and conditions as set forth in the Master Lease, Consent to Sub-Sublease and the Sublease (the “Sublease Parking Rights”).  If permitted by Master Landlord in the Consent to Sub-Sublease, Sub-Subtenant shall have the right to two (2) access cards per one (1) parking space to allow for a “spot sharing” plan with its employees.  Sub-Subtenant shall have all rights and remedies available under the Sublease and Master Lease with respect to the Sublease Parking Rights.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10(a) and Section 10(b) of the Master Lease, as between Sub-Sublandlord and Sub-Subtenant, Sub-Sublandlord shall have no obligations or liabilities to Sub-Subtenant relating in any way to Sub-Subtenant’s rights to park in the Garage, except as expressly set forth in Section 8(a) and Section 10 of this Sub-Sublease. 
22.Successors and Assigns.  This Sub-Sublease and everything herein contained shall extend to and bind and inure to the benefit of Sub-Sublandlord and its successors and assigns and Sub-Subtenant and its heirs, executors, administrators and permitted successors and assigns.  No rights shall inure to the benefit of any assignee, sub-sub-subtenant or occupant unless the provisions of Section 13 of this Sub-Sublease are complied with.
23.Miscellaneous.
(a)Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision of this Sub-Sublease in which time of performance is a factor, including, without limitation, the giving of any notice required to be given under this Sub-Sublease or by law, the time periods for giving any such notice and for taking of any action with respect to any such notice.
(b)Partial Invalidity.  If any term, provision or condition contained in this Sub-Sublease shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Sub-Sublease, or the application of such term, provision or condition to persons or circumstances other than those with respect to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each and every other term, provision and condition of this Sub-Sublease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent possible permitted by law; provided that, if a material provision is adjudged void or unenforceable, the parties shall negotiate, in good faith, an equitable adjustment to such other provisions of this Sub-
15

Sublease as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate as closely as possible the parties’ intent as evidenced by this Sub-Sublease.
(c)Entire Agreement.  There are no oral agreements between the parties hereto affecting this Sub-Sublease and this Sub-Sublease constitutes the parties’ entire agreement with respect to the subleasing of the Premises and supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, letters of intent, agreements and understandings, if any, between the parties, and none thereof shall be used to interpret or construe this Sub-Sublease.  None of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Sub-Sublease can be modified, deleted or added to except in writing signed by the parties.
(d)Execution.  Each party executing this Sub-Sublease represents and warrants to the other that it has been duly authorized to do so.
(e)Interpretation.  Preparation of this Sub-Sublease has been a joint effort of the parties and the resulting document shall not be construed more severely against one of the parties than against the other.
(f)Exhibits.  All Exhibits to this Sub-Sublease are a part hereof.
(g)Counterparts.  This Sub-Sublease may be executed in counterparts with the same effect as if both parties had executed the same document.  Both counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute a single sublease.  The signature pages of counterpart copies may be assembled to form one instrument.  Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature process complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.  Electronic signatures shall be deemed original signatures for purposes of this Sub-Sublease and all matters related thereto, with such electronic signatures having the same legal effect as original signatures.
(h)Limited Liability.  In no event shall the partners, principals, members, officers, stockholders, directors, employees or agents of either Sub-Sublandlord or Sub-Subtenant be personally liable under this Sub-Sublease.  Notwithstanding anything in this Sub-Sublease to the contrary (for the avoidance of doubt, including any provisions incorporated into this Sub-Sublease), under no circumstances shall either party be liable to the other party hereunder for punitive, indirect or consequential damages, each of which is excluded by agreement of the parties.
24.Sub-Sublandlord’s Consent.  In any instance when Sub-Sublandlord’s consent or approval is required under this Sub-Sublease, Sub-Sublandlord’s refusal to consent to or approve any matter or thing shall be deemed reasonable if, inter alia, such consent or approval has not been obtained from Master Landlord (if required under the Master Lease), or Sublandlord (if required under the Sublease).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event Master Landlord agrees to provide its consent where necessary pursuant to the Master Lease, and Sublandlord agrees to provide its consent where necessary pursuant to the Sublease, Sub-Sublandlord agrees it shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent hereunder.  
16

25.Brokers.  Sub-Sublandlord and Sub-Subtenant each hereby represents and warrants that it has not dealt with any broker other than Jones Lange LaSalle and Cushman & Wakefield, in connection with this Sub-Sublease for the Premises.  Each party shall indemnify the other against any cost or liability resulting from the indemnifying party’s breach of the foregoing representation and warranty.  Sub-Sublandlord shall be responsible for any commissions owed to the foregoing named brokers, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of separate agreements.  This provision shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Sub-Sublease.
26.Master Landlord’s and Sublandlord’s Consent.  Master Landlord and Sublandlord have each provided written consent to this Sub-Sublease pursuant to that certain Consent to Sub-Sublease dated as of the Effective Date by and among Master Landlord, Sublandlord, Sub-Sublandlord and Sub-Subtenant (the “Consent to Sub-Sublease”).  Sub-Sublandlord shall pay the fees and costs charged by Master Landlord and Sublandlord in connection with the request for their consent to this Sub-Sublease.
27.Furniture.  On the Sub-Sublease Term Commencement Date, Sub-Sublandlord shall deliver the Premises with the furniture identified on Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Sub-Sublandlord’s Furniture”) in its “AS IS,” where is, condition.

Sub-Sublandlord shall deliver title to the Sub-Sublandlord’s Furniture free and clear of all liens, judgments, security interests and encumbrances.  Sub-Sublandlord shall deliver the Bill of Sale to Sub-Subtenant within ten (10) business days following the Sub-Sublease Term Commencement Date.  Sub-Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Sub-Sublandlord is not obligated to provide any other furniture, furnishings, or equipment in the Premises other than Sub-Sublandlord’s Furniture, and Sub-Subtenant agrees that it will be solely responsible for providing any other furniture, furnishings, and equipment necessary for Sub-Subtenant’s occupancy.

(a)Representations and Warranties.  Each of Sub-Sublandlord and Sub-Subtenant represents and warrants that Sub-Sublandlord or Sub-Subtenant: (i) is not a person that is the target of any economic sanctions administered or enforced by the United States (including the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) and the U.S. Department of State), the United Nations, the European Union, and/or the United Kingdom; and (ii) is not owned or controlled by such a person.

Each of Sub-Sublandlord and Sub-Subtenant covenants and agrees (i) to comply with all requirements of applicable law relating to money laundering, anti-terrorism, trade embargos and economic sanctions, now or hereafter in connection with this Sub-Sublease, and (ii) to immediately notify the other party in writing if any of the representations, warranties, or covenants set forth in this paragraph or the preceding Section 28(a) are no longer true or have been breached or if Sub-Sublandlord or Sub-Subtenant has a reasonable basis to believe that they may no longer be true or have been breached.
17

(c)Event of Default; Indemnity.  Sub-Sublandlord and Sub-Subtenant hereby agree to indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party) and hold the other party harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages (for the avoidance of doubt, expressly excluding indirect, special, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages (including loss of profits, production, anticipated savings, goodwill or business opportunities or business interruption)), and expenses arising out of or related to a breach of any of the representations, warranties or obligations set forth in Section 28(a) or Section 28(b) above.  If either Sub-Sublandlord or Sub-Subtenant breaches any of the representations, warranties, or obligations set forth in Section 28(a) or Section 28(b) above, the non-breaching party may terminate this Sub-Sublease upon delivery of written notice to the breaching party.
29.Non-Discrimination.  Sub-Subtenant is a federal contractor and maintains an equal opportunity/affirmative action program in accordance with applicable law.  As a result, Sub-Sublandlord may be a covered subcontractor.  In such a case, it must, in accordance with applicable law, afford equal employment opportunity to all of its applicants and employees, regardless of their race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, protected veteran status, disability, or other basis protected by law.  If applicable, Sub-Sublandlord and Sub-Subtenant shall abide by the requirements of 41 CFR 60–1.4(a), 60–300.5(a) and 60–741.5(a).  These regulations prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals based on their status as protected veterans or individuals with disabilities, and prohibit discrimination against all individuals based on their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or national origin.  Moreover, these regulations require that covered prime contractors and subcontractors take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment individuals without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or veteran status.

In connection with the negotiation and performance of this Sub-Sublease, Sub-Sublandlord, on behalf of itself and Sub-Sublandlord’s affiliates, all entities that it owns or controls, and all of Sub-Sublandlord’s owners, directors, officers, employees, representatives, and agents, represents and warrants that they have not engaged in and covenants that they shall refrain from offering, promising, paying, giving, authorizing the paying or giving of, soliciting, or accepting money or anything of value, which includes, but is not limited to, cash or a cash equivalent (including “grease”, “expediting” or facilitation payments), discounts, rebates, gifts, meals, entertainment, hospitality, use of materials, facilities or equipment, transportation, lodging, or promise of future employment), directly or indirectly, to or from (a) any Government Official (as hereinafter defined) to (i) influence any act or decision of a Government Official in his or her official capacity, (ii) induce a Government Official to use his or her influence with a government or instrumentality thereof, or (iii) otherwise secure any improper advantage; or (b) any person in any manner that would constitute bribery or an illegal kickback, or would otherwise violate applicable anti-corruption law and commercial bribery laws.  As used in this Sub-Sublease, “Government Official” shall refer to any official or employee of any multinational, national, regional, or local government in any country, including any official or employee of any government department, agency, commission, or division; any official or employee of any government-owned or government-controlled enterprise; any official or employee of any public educational, scientific, or research institution; any political party or official or employee of a political party; any candidate for 
18

public office; any official or employee of a public international organization; and any person acting on behalf of or any relatives, family, or household members of any of those listed above.
31.Estoppel Certificate.  Sub-Subtenant shall, within ten (10) business days of written notice from Sub-Sublandlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver a statement in writing reasonably requested by Sub-Sublandlord and reasonably acceptable to Sub-Subtenant, (i) certifying that this Sub-Sublease is unmodified and in full force or effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Sub-Sublease as so modified is in full force and effect) and the dates to which the rental and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (ii) acknowledging to Sub-Subtenant’s actual knowledge that there are not any uncured defaults on the part of Sub-Sublandlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iii) setting forth such further factual information with respect to the status of this Sub-Sublease or the Premises as may be reasonably requested thereon.

32.Health Policy.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this SubSublease, except in the event of an emergency, Sub-Landlord shall ensure that each of its employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, laborers, visitors, guests and invitees and others under its control or direction accessing any portion of the Premises (collectively, “Visitors”) shall comply with Sub-Subtenant’s health requirements and policies as set forth in this Section 32 (“Health Policy”) when accessing the Premises. As of the Effective Date, the Health Policy requires (without limitation) that all persons accessing the Premises be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 (with no option for testing in lieu of).  As used in this Section 32, “fully vaccinated” means that two (2) weeks have passed since the person (a) for persons vaccinated inside the United States, received their second dose in a 2-dose series (such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines) or received a single-dose vaccine (such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine) with a COVID-19 vaccine currently approved or authorized for emergency use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; or (b) for persons who were vaccinated outside of the United States, received a World Health Organization (WHO)-listed vaccine in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.  Sub-Subtenant may adjust the Health Policy from time to time in Sub-Subtenant’s sole but reasonable discretion and will provide Sub-Landlord with any applicable updates (individually and collectively, “Updates”). Except in the event of an emergency, any Visitor accessing the Premises will be required to (i) verify to Sub-Subtenant that such Visitor fully complies with the Health Policy as amended by Updates and (ii) provide Sub-Subtenant with evidence to Sub-Subtenant’s satisfaction that such Visitor complies with the Health Policy as amended by Updates (including, as of the Effective Date, an image of such Visitor’s COVID-19 vaccination record card or health document showing vaccination status together with official identification for such Visitor).  Sub-Sublandlord and Sub-Subtenant agree that any failure of Master Landlord and Sublandlord to perform under the Master Lease or Sublease due to their 
19

compliance with Section 32 of the Consent to Sub-Sublease shall not be breach or default of Sub-Sublandlord and Sub-Subtenant under this Sub-Sublease.

Exhibit 4.3

DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES REGISTERED
PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

As of December 31, 2021, UserTesting, Inc. (“we,” “us,” or “our”) had one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): our common stock.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following summary of the most important terms of our capital stock is based upon our restated certificate of incorporation, our restated bylaws, and applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). The summary is not complete, and is qualified by reference to our restated certificate of incorporation and our restated bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and are incorporated by reference herein. We encourage you to read our restated certificate of incorporation, our restated bylaws, and the applicable provisions of the DGCL for additional information.
Capitalization
Our authorized capital stock consists of 2,000,000,000 shares of our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share and 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share.

Common Stock
Dividend Rights
Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available if our board of directors, in its discretion, determines to issue dividends and then only at the times and in the amounts that our board of directors may determine. 
Voting Rights
Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Our restated certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock are able to elect all of our directors.
No Preemptive or Similar Rights
Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to redemption or sinking fund provisions.
Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions
Upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of our common stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the preferential rights of and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock.
        

Preferred Stock
Our board of directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations, or restrictions, in each case without further vote or action by our stockholders. Our board of directors can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in our control and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. We have no current plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
The provisions of the DGCL, our restated certificate of incorporation, and our restated bylaws could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or discouraging another person from acquiring control of our company. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and encourage persons seeking to acquire control of our company to first negotiate with our board of directors. 
Section 203 of the DGCL
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL regulating corporate takeovers. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that this stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:
•before the stockholder became interested, our board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction, which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
•upon consummation of the transaction, which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans in some instances, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder; or
•at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by our board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock, which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

        

Section 203 defines a business combination to include:
•any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;
•any sale, transfer, lease, pledge, or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation;
•subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance of transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
•subject to exceptions, any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; and
•the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges, or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.
In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaw Provisions
Our restated certificate of incorporation and our restated bylaws include a number of provisions that may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers, or delaying or preventing changes in control of our management team or changes in our board of directors or our governance or policy, including the following:
•Board of Directors Vacancies. Our restated certificate of incorporation and our restated bylaws authorize generally only our board of directors to fill vacant directorships resulting from any cause or created by the expansion of our board of directors. In addition, the number of directors constituting our board of directors may be set only by resolution adopted by a majority vote of our entire board of directors. These provisions prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees.
•Classified Board. Our restated certificate of incorporation and our restated bylaws provide that our board of directors is classified into three classes of directors. The existence of a classified board of directors could delay a successful tender offeror from obtaining majority control of our board of directors, and the prospect of that delay might deter a potential offeror. 
•Directors Removed Only for Cause. Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that stockholders may remove directors only for cause.
•Supermajority Requirements for Amendments of Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws. Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% of our outstanding common stock is required to amend certain provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation, including provisions relating to the classified board, the size of the board of directors, removal of directors, special meetings, actions by written consent and designation of our preferred stock (provided that if two-thirds of our board of directors has approved such amendment, then only the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of our outstanding common stock will be required to approve such amendment). The affirmative vote of 
        

holders of at least 66 2/3% of our outstanding common stock is required to amend or repeal our restated bylaws (provided that if two-thirds of our board of directors has approved such amendment and submitted such amendment to our stockholders, then only the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of our outstanding common stock is required to approve such amendment), although our restated bylaws may be amended by a simple majority vote of our board of directors.
•Stockholder Action; Special Meetings of Stockholders. Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that our stockholders may not take action by written consent, but may only take action at annual or special meetings of our stockholders. As a result, holders of our capital stock are not able to amend our restated bylaws or remove directors without holding a meeting of our stockholders called in accordance with our restated bylaws. Our restated certificate of incorporation and our restated bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by a majority of our board of directors, the chairman of our board of directors or our chief executive officer, thus prohibiting a stockholder from calling a special meeting. These provisions might delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for stockholders to take any action, including the removal of directors.
•Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations. Our restated bylaws provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders. Our restated bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders. We expect that these provisions might also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.
•No Cumulative Voting. The DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting.
•Issuance of Undesignated Preferred Stock. Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by our board of directors. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock enables our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise.
Choice of Forum
In addition, our restated certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the DGCL, our restated certificate of incorporation or our restated bylaws; or any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. Our restated certificate of incorporation also provides that the federal district courts of the United 
        

States are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which we refer to as the Federal Forum Provision. While there can be no assurance that federal or state courts will follow the holding of the Delaware Supreme Court which recently found that such provisions are facially valid under Delaware law or determine that the Federal Forum Provision should be enforced in a particular case, application of the Federal Forum Provision means that suits brought by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act must be brought in federal court and cannot be brought in state court. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all claims brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. In addition, the Federal Forum Provision applies, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act. Accordingly, actions by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder must be brought in federal court. Our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any of our securities shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to our exclusive forum provisions, including the Federal Forum Provision. These provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum of their choosing for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, and other employees.
