AXONICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Axonics, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on March 2, 2012 under the name American Restorative Medicine, Inc. In August 2013, we changed our name to Axonics Modulation Technologies, Inc. In March 2021, we changed our name to Axonics, Inc. The Company had no operations until October 1, 2013, when the license agreement between Alfred E. Mann Foundation for Scientific Research (AMF) and the Company (the License Agreement) was entered into. The Company is a medical technology company that has developed and is commercializing innovative and minimally invasive implantable neurostimulation systems. The Company has designed and developed the rechargeable sacral neuromodulation (SNM) system (r-SNM System), which delivers mild electrical pulses to the targeted sacral nerve in order to restore normal communication to and from the brain to reduce the symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB), urinary retention (UR) and fecal incontinence (FI). The r-SNM System is protected by intellectual property based on Company-generated innovations and patents and other intellectual property licensed from AMF. The Company has marketing approvals in the United States, Europe, Canada, and Australia for all relevant clinical indications. The premarket approval (PMA) application for the r-SNM System for the treatment of FI was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on September 6, 2019, and the PMA application for the r-SNM System for the treatment of OAB and UR was approved by the FDA on November 13, 2019. Accordingly, the Company began U.S. commercialization of its r-SNM System in the fourth quarter of 2019. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company derived revenue only from its international operations in select markets including England, the Netherlands and Canada, and its activities have consisted primarily of developing the r-SNM System, conducting its RELAX-OAB post-market clinical follow-up study in Europe, its ARTISAN-SNM pivotal clinical study in the United States and hiring and training its U.S. commercial team in preparation for the launch of the r-SNM System in the United States.
May 2020 Follow-On Offering
On May 12, 2020, the Company completed a follow-on offering by issuing 4,600,000 shares of common stock, at an offering price of $32.50 per share, inclusive of 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued upon the exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares. The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $140.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Axonics Europe, S.A.S., Axonics Modulation Technologies U.K. Limited, Axonics Modulation Technologies Australia Pty Ltd, Axonics Women’s Health Limited, Bulkamid SARL, and Axonics GmbH. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
    Interim Financial Statements
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are unaudited, and are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s operating results for a full year. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), however, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021).

COVID-19
The recent COVID-19 outbreak, and the resulting restrictions intended to slow the spread of COVID-19, including stay-at-home orders, business shutdowns and other restrictions, has adversely affected the Company’s business in several ways. The primary impact on the Company’s business was the cancellation or delay of elective procedures in certain areas to allow health care facilities to prioritize the treatment of COVID-19 patients during the initial stages of the pandemic or because patients are avoiding health care facilities that they feel are unsafe. These developments materially reduced the number of procedures using the Company’s r-SNM System. If governmental authorities recommend that it is deemed advisable for health care facilities to not perform outpatient elective procedures as was the case in late March and April of 2020, the Company expects it would materially harm the Company’s revenues and potentially increase the Company’s operating loss. These challenges will likely continue for the duration of the pandemic and could reduce our revenue and negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations while the pandemic continues. If these delays in procedures occur in the future, the Company may have to scale back its business, including reducing headcount, which could have a negative impact on the Company’s long-term operations. The Company could also experience other negative impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak such as the lack of availability of the Company’s key personnel, temporary closures of the Company’s office or the facilities of the Company’s business partners, customers, third party service providers or other vendors, and the interruption of the Company’s supply chain, distribution channels, liquidity and capital or financial markets.
Any disruption and volatility in the global capital markets as a result of the pandemic may increase the Company’s cost of capital and adversely affect the Company’s ability to access financing when and on terms that the Company desires. In addition, a recession resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect the Company’s business, especially if a recession results in higher unemployment causing potential patients to not have access to health insurance.
The ultimate extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and its repercussions impact the Company’s business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain. However, the foregoing and other continued disruptions to the Company’s business as a result of COVID-19 could result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of this evaluation then form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 relates entirely to the sale of our r-SNM System and Bulkamid.
The Company has revenue arrangements that consist of a single performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when it transfers control of promised goods to its customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration it expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods. The amount of revenue that is recognized is based on the transaction price, which represents the invoiced amount and includes estimates of variable consideration such as discounts, where applicable. The Company does not offer rights of return or price protection. The amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur in a future period. Payment terms, typically less than three months, are offered to the Company’s customers and do not include a significant financing component. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and credit history and generally requires no collateral. The Company does not have any contract balances related to product sales. The Company also does not have significant contract acquisition costs related to product sales.

Table of Contents
In accordance with Company policy and based on the Company’s historical experience, the allowance for product returns was $0.2 million and $0.3 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Damaged or defective products are replaced at no charge under the Company’s standard warranty. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, the replacement costs were $0.1 million and minimal, respectively.
Shipping and handling costs incurred for the delivery of goods to customers are included in cost of goods sold. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in net revenue.
The following table provides additional information pertaining to net revenue disaggregated by geographic market for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company makes estimates of the collectability of accounts receivable. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020, the Company did not recognize an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings as the impact from adoption was not material. The Company’s estimate of future losses is made by management based upon historical bad debts, customer receivable balances, age of customer receivable balances, customers’ financial conditions and reasonable forecasted economic trends. Despite the Company’s efforts to minimize credit risk exposure, clients could be adversely affected if future economic and industry trends, including those related to COVID-19, change in such a manner as to negatively impact their cash flows. The full effects of COVID-19 on the Company’s clients are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. As a result, the Company’s future collection experience can differ significantly from historical collection trends. If the Company’s clients experience a negative impact on their cash flows, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. At times, the cash and cash equivalent balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company does not believe that this results in any significant credit risk as the Company’s policy is to place its cash and cash equivalents in highly-rated financial institutions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions and valuation techniques used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The inputs require significant management judgment or estimation.
The Company’s assessment of the significance of an input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, which may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements approximate the fair value for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payables, and accrued expenses, due to their short-term nature. The carrying amount of the Company’s term loan, which is described below, approximates fair value, considering the interest rates are based on the prime interest rate.
The purchase price of business acquisitions is primarily allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, with the excess recorded as goodwill. We utilize Level 3 inputs in the determination of the initial fair value.
Contingent consideration represents contingent milestone, performance and revenue-sharing payment obligations related to acquisitions and is measured at fair value, based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of contingent consideration uses assumptions we believe would be made by a market participant. We assess these assumptions on an ongoing basis as additional data impacting the assumptions is obtained. The fair value of contingent consideration is recorded in business acquisition liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Investment Securities
The Company classifies its investment securities as available-for-sale. Those investments in debt securities with maturities less than 12 months at the date of purchase are considered short-term investments. Those investments in debt securities with maturities greater than 12 months at the date of purchase are considered long-term investments. The Company’s investment securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value based on the fair value hierarchy (Level 1 and Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy), and consists primarily of commercial paper, corporate notes and U.S. government and agency securities. Unrealized gains or losses, deemed temporary in nature, are reported as other comprehensive income within the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). There were no unrealized gains or losses during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
A decline in the fair value of any security below cost that is deemed other than temporary results in a charge to net income (loss) and the corresponding establishment of a new cost basis for the security. Premiums (discounts) are amortized (accreted) over the life of the related security as an adjustment to yield using the straight-line interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains or losses are included in net income (loss) and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold.

Table of Contents
The Company had no outstanding investment securities as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries are currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Company translates assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Costs and expenses of the subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate during the period. Gains or losses from these translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive loss until there is a sale or complete or substantially complete liquidation of the Company’s investment in the foreign subsidiary at which time the gains or losses will be realized and included in net income (loss). As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all foreign currency translation gains (losses) have been unrealized and included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists entirely of losses or gains from translation of foreign subsidiaries at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Inventory, Net
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost computed on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company reduces the carrying value of inventories for items that are potentially excess, obsolete, or slow-moving based on changes in customer demand, technology developments, or other economic factors.
The Company capitalizes inventory produced for commercial sale. The Company capitalizes manufacturing costs as inventory following both the receipt of regulatory approval from regulatory bodies and the Company’s intent to commercialize. Costs associated with developmental products prior to satisfying the Company’s inventory capitalization criteria are charged to research and development expense as incurred.
Products that have been approved by certain regulatory authorities may also be used in clinical programs to assess the safety and efficacy of the products for usage that have not been approved by the FDA or other regulatory authorities. The form of product utilized for both commercial and certain clinical programs that are identical are included as inventory with an “alternative future use” as defined in authoritative guidance. Component materials and purchased products associated with clinical development programs are included in inventory and charged to research and development expense when the product enters the research and development process and no longer can be used for commercial purposes and, therefore, does not have an “alternative future use.”
For products that are under development and have not yet been approved by regulatory authorities, purchased component materials are charged to research and development expense when the inventory ownership transfers to the Company.
The Company analyzes inventory levels to identify inventory that may expire prior to sale, inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its net realizable value, or inventory in excess of expected sales requirements. Although the manufacturing of the r-SNM System is subject to strict quality control, certain batches or units of product may no longer meet quality specifications or may expire, which would require adjustments to the Company’s inventory values. The Company also applies judgment related to the results of quality tests that are performed throughout the production process, as well as the understanding of regulatory guidelines, to determine if it is probable that inventory will be saleable. These quality tests are performed throughout the pre- and post-production processes, and the Company continually gathers information regarding product quality for periods after the manufacturing date. The r-SNM System currently has a maximum estimated shelf life range of 12 to 36 months and, based on sales forecasts, the Company expects to realize the carrying value of the product inventory. In the future, reduced demand, quality issues, or excess supply beyond those anticipated by management may result in a material adjustment to inventory levels, which would be recorded as an increase to cost of sales.
The determination of whether or not inventory costs will be realizable requires estimates by the Company’s management. A critical input in this determination is future expected inventory requirements based on internal sales forecasts. Management then compares these requirements to the expiry dates of inventory on hand. To the extent that inventory is expected to expire prior to being sold, management will write down the value of inventory.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $38.9 million, $13.4 million and $18.9 million of finished goods inventory, work-in-process inventory and raw materials inventory, respectively. Reserves were de minimus as of March 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $42.1 million, $3.5 million and $17.5 million of

Table of Contents
finished goods inventory, work-in-process inventory and raw materials inventory, respectively. Reserves were de minimus as of December 31, 2020.
Customer and Vendor Concentration
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no customers who accounted for over 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, was zero and one vendor, respectively, who accounted for over 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts payable.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally between three and seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the useful life of the improvements. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired less the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount to the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair values are estimated using an income and discounted cash flow approach. We perform our annual impairment test for goodwill in the fourth quarter of each year. We consider qualitative indicators of the fair value of a reporting unit when it is unlikely that a reporting unit has impaired goodwill. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we did not record any impairment charges related to goodwill.
Intangible Assets
Patent license asset
The intangible asset represents exclusive rights to an additional field-of-use on the patent suite within the License Agreement with AMF. The additional field-of-use was provided in exchange for 50,000 shares of Series A preferred stock, the fair value of which was $1.0 million in 2013. The intangible asset was recorded at its fair value of $1.0 million at the date contributed. In connection with the IPO, such shares of Series A preferred stock were converted into common stock. Amortization of this asset is recorded over the shorter of the patent or legal life on a straight-line basis. The weighted-average amortization period is 8.71 years. Accumulated amortization of this intangible asset is $0.8 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The amortization of this intangible asset was minimal during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company will review the intangible asset for impairment whenever an impairment indicator exists. There have been no intangible asset impairment charges to date. For additional information, see Note 10.
Exclusive license asset
The intangible asset represents exclusive rights of existing technologies and development services from MST entered into on March 2, 2021. The agreement was provided in exchange for 65,594 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, the fair value of which was $3.6 million upon transfer. The intangible asset was recorded at its fair value of $3.3 million at the date of the agreement, with the difference of $0.3 million recorded as a vendor credit in accounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of this asset is recorded over the four-year term of the agreement on a straight-line basis. There was no amortization of this intangible asset recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company will review the intangible asset for impairment whenever an impairment indicator exists. There have been no intangible asset impairment charges to date. For additional information, see Note 10.
Contura acquisition
The intangible assets represent technology, trade names and trademarks, and customer relationships acquired from Contura on February 25, 2021. For additional information, see Notes 9 and 10.

Table of Contents
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount to the future net cash flows that the assets are expected to generate. If said assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment that would be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future net cash flows arising from the asset. There have been no such impairments of long-lived assets to date.
Leases
In accordance with ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components, non-lease components, and non-components. The fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any consideration related to non-components) must be allocated based on the respective relative fair values to the lease components and non-lease components. Entities may elect not to separate lease and non-lease components. Rather, entities would account for each lease component and related non-lease component together as a single lease component. The Company has elected to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component for all underlying assets and allocate all of the contract consideration to the lease component only. Topic 842 allows for the use of judgment in determining whether the assumed lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset and whether the present value of lease payments represents substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset. The Company applies the bright line thresholds referenced in Topic 842 to assist in evaluating leases for appropriate classification. The aforementioned bright lines are applied consistently to the Company’s entire portfolio of leases.
Operating lease ROU asset and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As the Company’s lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate for a fully collateralized amortizing loan with the same maturity as the lease term, based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development costs include salary and personnel-related costs, costs of clinical studies and testing, supplies and materials, and outside consultant costs.
Advertising Expense
The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, advertising expense totaled $1.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and are recorded within the sales and marketing expenses in its consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method to compute the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the related financial amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. The Company has deferred tax assets. The realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income in future years. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that more likely than not will be realized. The Company evaluates the recoverability of the deferred tax assets annually, and maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company is subject to transfer pricing and other tax regulations designed to ensure that appropriate levels of income are reported as earned by the Company’s U.S. and foreign entities and are taxed accordingly. In the normal course of business, the Company is audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, and subject to inquiries from those tax authorities regarding the amount of taxes due. These inquiries may relate to the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and
11

Table of Contents
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, in income tax expense.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of employee and non-employee services in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes compensation cost over the requisite service period (typically the vesting period), generally four years. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of the grant and revised in subsequent periods to reflect differences between the estimates and the number of shares that actually become exercisable.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options (as of the date of grant) that have service conditions for vesting. Stock options and restricted shares awards vest based on service conditions, typically over four years.
The Company also grants shares of performance-based restricted stock units that typically vest after one year only if the Company has also achieved certain performance objectives as defined and approved by the Company’s board of directors. The fair value of performance awards are determined based on the Company’s stock price at the date of grant and expensed over the performance period based on the probability of achieving the performance objectives. In addition, the Company also grants market-based restricted stock units that have combined market conditions and service conditions for vesting, for which the Company uses the Monte Carlo valuation model to value equity awards (as of the date of grant).
Net Loss per Share of Common Stock
Basic net loss per share of common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, convertible preferred stock, common and preferred stock warrants, common stock options, unvested RSAs and RSUs are considered to be potentially dilutive securities. Because the Company has reported a net loss in all periods presented, diluted net loss per share of common stock is the same as basic net loss per share of common stock for those periods.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, there were 2,488,284 and 2,288,736 potentially dilutive weighted-average shares, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted weighted-average shares of common stock and common stock equivalent shares outstanding because their effect would have been antidilutive given the Company’s net loss.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes—Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by clarifying and amending existing guidance related to the recognition of franchise tax, the evaluation of a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill and the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in the effective tax rate computation, among other clarifications. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, which was the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, ROU assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities were $0.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the ROU asset has a balance of $6.9 million and $7.1 million, respectively. The operating lease ROU asset is included within the Company’s other non-current assets, and lease liabilities are included in current or noncurrent liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, cash paid for amounts included in operating lease liabilities were $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

License Agreement
In October 2013, the Company entered into the License Agreement, pursuant to which AMF licensed the Company certain patents and know-how (collectively, the AMF IP) relating to, in relevant part, an implantable pulse generator and related system components in development by AMF as of that date, in addition to any peripheral or auxiliary devices, including all components, that when assembled, comprise such device, excluding certain implantable pulse generators (collectively, the AMF Licensed Products). Under the License Agreement, for each calendar year beginning in 2018, the Company is obligated to pay AMF a royalty on an AMF Licensed Product-by-AMF Licensed Product basis if one of the following conditions applies: (i) one or more valid claims within any of the patents licensed to the Company by AMF covers such AMF Licensed Products or the manufacture of such AMF Licensed Products or (ii) for a period of 12 years from the first commercial sale anywhere in the world of such AMF Licensed Product, in each case. The foregoing royalty is calculated as the greater of (a) 4% of all net revenue derived from the AMF Licensed Products, and (b) the Minimum Royalty, payable quarterly. The Minimum Royalty will automatically increase each year after 2018, subject to a maximum amount of $200,000 per year. The Company generated net SNM revenue of $32.9 million and $26.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and recorded related royalties of $1.3 million and $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Legal Matters
On November 4, 2019, Medtronic, Inc., Medtronic Puerto Rico Operations Co., Medtronic Logistics LLC and Medtronic USA, Inc. (collectively, the Medtronic Affiliates) filed an initial complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Case No. 8:19-cv-2115, and amended the complaint on November 26, 2019. The Company refers to this matter as the Medtronic Litigation. The complaint asserts that the Company’s r-SNM System infringes U.S. Patent Nos. 8,036,756, 8,626,314, 9,463,324 and 9,821,112 held by the Medtronic Affiliates, and the amended complaint further includes the additional patents 8,738,148; 8,457,758; and 7,774,069 (collectively, the Medtronic Patents). The Medtronic Litigation requests customary remedies for patent infringement, including (i) a judgment that the Company has infringed and is infringing the Medtronic Patents, (ii) damages, including treble damages for willful infringement, (iii) a permanent injunction preventing the Company from infringing the Medtronic Patents, (iv) attorneys’ fees, and (v) costs and expenses. The Company believes the allegations are without merit and is vigorously defending itself against them. Given the early stage of the Medtronic Litigation, the Company is unable to predict the likelihood of success of the claims of the Medtronic Affiliates against the Company or to quantify any risk of loss. The Medtronic Litigation could last for an extended period of time and require the Company to dedicate significant financial resources and management resources to its defense. An adverse ruling against the Company could materially and adversely affect its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows and could also result in reputational harm. Even if the Company is successful in defending against these claims, the Medtronic Litigation could result in significant costs, delays in future product developments, reputational harm or other collateral consequences.
On March 16, 2020, the Company filed seven petitions before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) requesting inter partes review (IPR) to contest the validity of each of the Medtronic patents that Medtronic has alleged are being infringed by the Company. In September 2020, the USPTO decided that it will accept or “institute” the IPR process for six of the seven patents, finding that the Company had demonstrated a reasonable likelihood that at least one, if not all, of the claims of these six patents are invalid. The Company is currently in the IPR discovery process. The USPTO will usually render a decision on the validity of contested patents within twelve months of instituting the review. The Company filed a motion to stay the proceedings before the United States District Court for the Central District of California pending resolution of the IPR process. The Company’s motion was granted by the court on May 8, 2020.
In addition to the Medtronic Litigation, the Company is and may continue to be involved in claims, legal proceedings, and investigations arising out of its operations in the normal course of business.
Note 4. Long-Term Debt
In January 2021, the principal amount, accrued interest, accrued loan fees, and prepayment fees related to the term loan under the Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank entered into in February 2018, were paid in full. The unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.4 million as of December 31, 2020 was expensed and recognized as interest expense during the three months ending March 31, 2021.
On February 25, 2021, the Company entered into the Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, as the administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders, under which the Company obtained a loan in the principal amount of $75 million pursuant to the Loan, which remains outstanding as of March 31, 2021. The Loan under the Loan and Security Agreement matures on February 1, 2024 (the Maturity Date), unless earlier accelerated upon an event of default. The Loan bears interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (a) 9.00% and (b) 5.75% above the current prime rate, with only interest due and payable monthly until September 1, 2022, at which time interest and principal will be due and payable monthly in equal monthly payments. The Loan and Security Agreement also sets out that the Loan is subject to a final payment fee equal to 6.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loan.
The Company may prepay amounts outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement at any time with 5 days prior written notice to Silicon Valley Bank. In the event that the Company elects to prepay the Loan prior to the Maturity Date, the Company is required to pay a fee in the amount of (a) 2.00% of the outstanding principal balance if such prepayment occurs prior to February 25, 2022 or (b) 1.00% of the outstanding principal balance if such prepayment occurs on or after February 25, 2022. The Company incurred $4.6 million in debt issuance costs, which are amortized on an effective interest method through the Maturity Date.

The Loan and Security Agreement contains customary covenants that include, among others, covenants that limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to dispose of assets, conduct mergers or acquisitions, incur indebtedness, incur certain liens, pay dividends or make distributions on our capital stock, make certain investments, and enter into certain affiliate transactions, in each case subject to customary exceptions for a credit facility of this size and type.
The Loan and Security Agreement contains customary events of default that include, among others, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, a default in the event a material adverse change occurs, defaults in the event our assets are attached or we are enjoined from doing business, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, cross-defaults to certain other material indebtedness, material judgment defaults, and inaccuracy of representations and warranties. The occurrence of an event of default could result in an increase to the applicable interest rate of 5.00%, acceleration of and present occurrence of the Maturity Date, and the consequent obligation for us to repay in full in cash all amounts outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement, and a right by the lenders to exercise all remedies available under the Loan and Security Agreement and related agreements, including the right to dispose of the collateral as permitted under applicable law.
All obligations under the Term Loan are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets, excluding intellectual property assets and more than 65% of the shares of voting capital stock of any of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company has agreed with Silicon Valley Bank not to encumber its intellectual property assets without Silicon Valley Bank’s prior written consent unless a security interest in the underlying intellectual property is necessary to have a security interest in the accounts and proceeds that are part of the assets securing the Term Loan, in which case the Company’s intellectual property shall automatically be included within the assets securing the Term Loan. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenant requirements under the Term Loan.

Stock Option Activity
The option awards issued under the 2014 Stock Option Plan (the 2014 Plan) and the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the 2018 Plan) were measured based on fair value. The Company’s fair value calculations were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Stock volatility

Risk-free interest rate
0.53% - 1.16%
1.37%
Dividend rate
The Company used the simplified method of determining the expected term of stock options as the Company believes this represents the best estimate of the expected term of a new option. The expected stock price volatility assumption was determined by examining the historical volatilities for industry peers, as the Company did not have sufficient trading history for the Company’s common stock. The Company will continue to analyze the historical stock price volatility and expected term assumption as more historical data for the Company’s common stock becomes available. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments, whose term was consistent with the expected term of the Company’s stock options. The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The assumptions regarding the expected term of the options and the expected volatility of the stock price are subjective, and these assumptions have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts. There were 36,000 stock option grants for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted was $32.89 and $18.56 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was $11.2 million and $11.6 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.3 years and 2.4 years, respectively.

Table of Contents
The Company accounts for income taxes according to ASC 740, which, among other things, requires the estimation of the annual effective income tax rate for the full year applied to pre-tax income (loss) for each interim period, considering year-to-date amounts and projected results for the full year. The Company periodically evaluates whether a portion or all of its deferred tax assets will be recovered. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if and to the extent it is more likely than not that they will not be recovered. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, the Company weighs all relevant positive and negative evidence, including among other factors, historical financial performance, forecasts of income over the applicable carryforward periods, and the market environment, with each piece weighted based on its reliability. As of March 31, 2021, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its U.S. net deferred tax assets.
The effective tax rate differs from the statutory U.S. income tax rate due to differing tax rates imposed on income earned in foreign jurisdictions, losses in foreign jurisdictions, and certain nondeductible expenses. The effective tax rate could change significantly from quarter to quarter because of recurring and nonrecurring factors. The benefit of income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily attributable to tax benefits related to losses in the U.K.
At December 31, 2020, the Company had federal and California net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $213.5 million. Pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Internal Revenue Code), use of the Company’s NOL carryforwards may be limited if the Company experiences a cumulative change in ownership of greater than 50% in a rolling three-year period. The Company performed an analysis of changes in ownership for purposes of these Internal Revenue Code sections. Based on the study performed in 2020, the Company determined that an ownership change occurred in 2014, 2018 and 2019. Future ownership changes could impact the Company’s ability to utilize NOL carryforwards. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its otherwise recognizable deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 2020. The Company has determined, after evaluating all positive and negative historical and prospective evidence, that it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Ownership changes could impact the Company’s ability to utilize NOL carryforwards remaining at an ownership change date. The Company’s NOL carryforwards were generated from domestic operations. The federal NOLs from the 2013-2017 tax years will expire between 2033 and 2037 and NOLs from 2018-2020 will carryover indefinitely. The state NOLs will expire between 2033 and 2039. Under California Assembly Bill 85, effective June 29, 2020, net operating loss deductions were suspended for tax years beginning in 2020, 2021, and 2022 and the carry forward periods of any net operating losses not utilized due to such suspension were extended.
CARES Act
The CARES Act includes provisions to support businesses in the form of loans, grants, and tax changes, among other types of relief. The Company has reviewed the income tax changes included in the CARES Act, which primarily includes the expansion of the carryback period for NOLs, changes to the deduction and limitation on interest, and acceleration of depreciation for Qualified Improvement Property. The Company has analyzed these changes and does not believe there will be a material effect on the Company’s income tax provision.
Note 7. Employee Benefit Plan
The Company sponsors a defined contribution retirement savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan covers all employees who meet minimum age and service requirements, and allows participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation on a pre- or post-tax basis. Contributions to the plan by the Company may be made at the discretion of the board of directors. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company contributions to the plan amounted to $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
Note 8. Related Party Transactions
The Company has a License Agreement and corresponding royalties incurred with AMF, which is also a stockholder of the Company. For additional information, see Note 3.
Note 9. Acquisition
On February 25, 2021, the Company acquired all issued and outstanding shares of Contura Holdings Limited (Contura) through a Share Purchase Agreement. As a result of the acquisition, the Company acquired a 100% equity interest in Contura in addition to all assets and liabilities outstanding as of the transaction date. Contura

Table of Contents
is a manufacturing company which produces basic pharmaceutical products. Assets acquired include Contura’s primary product, Bulkamid, which is a leading women’s health product used in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. The acquisition provides highly synergistic benefits, leverages the Company’s expansive commercial footprint and gives the Company the opportunity to expand current offerings around the world. The acquisition will allow the Company to provide enhanced value to new and existing customers.
The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination pursuant to ASC 805. In accordance with ASC 805, fair values are assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date. The Company believes that the information available provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisition, however, preliminary measurements of fair value, including, but not limited to, contingent consideration, intangible assets and deferred taxes, are subject to change during the measurement period, and such changes could be material. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and accounting for the acquisition as soon as practicable, but no later than one year after the acquisition date.
The purchase price consideration for the acquisition totaled $203.8 million, of which $141.3 million was in the form of cash and $55.7 million was in the form of 1,096,583 shares of the Company’s common stock. An additional payment of $35 million will be paid to the Sellers if the Company is able to generate $50 million in Bulkamid sales within a 12-month period before December 31, 2024. As the additional payment is contingent on future sales, the liability’s preliminary estimate of fair value was assessed to be $6.8 million. The balance is recorded as a contingent liability in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2021. The cash consideration paid for the acquisition was funded by existing cash on hand.

Technology was valued using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method (MPEEM), which calculates economic benefits by determining the income attributable to an intangible asset after returns are subtracted for contributory assets. Significant assumptions in the MPEEM include projected revenue growth rates, future margins, royalty rate indication, and tax rate.
Trade names and trademarks were valued using the Relief from Royalty Method. The relief from royalty method is a variant of the discounted cash flow method, which is a form of the income approach. It is based on the premise that ownership of the intangible asset relieves the need to pay a licensing fee for the ability to use the asset.

Table of Contents
Significant assumptions include a discount rate, tax rate, royalty rate indication, long-term growth rate, and implied profit split time period.
Customer relationships were valued using the distributor method. The distributor method was utilized as the asset was determined to be a secondary intangible asset and the Company’s product could be sold through distributors. Significant assumptions used in the distributor method include projected revenue growth rates, future margins, rate of customer retention, and an appropriate discount rate.
Intangible assets will be amortized based on their useful life. $0.6 million in amortization expense was recognized during the current quarter in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. The unamortized balance as of March 31, 2021 was $111.6 million. The total weighted-average original amortization period for the acquired finite-lived intangible assets is 12 years.
Goodwill
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from anticipated synergies and intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including an assembled workforce, noncontractual relationships, and other agreements. As an indefinite-lived asset, goodwill is not amortized but rather is subject to impairment testing on at least an annual basis. The Contura acquisition resulted in the preliminary recognition of $89.6 million of goodwill, which is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Contingent consideration
As part of the transaction, the Company agreed to pay the Sellers $35 million if Bulkamid sales achieve $50 million in any 12-month period before December 31, 2024. The preliminary fair value of the estimated contingent consideration was determined by using a binary option-based approach. Significant inputs used in the assessment include the Company’s projected revenue rate, an appropriate discount rate, volatility, and risk-free rate. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be $6.8 million.
To the extent that the forecast milestone achievements probabilities have changed and in accordance with ASC 805, the Company does not need to re-assess the fair value measurements.
Transaction-related costs
Acquisition costs are not included as components of consideration transferred and instead are accounted for as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred. The Company incurred $4.4 million of acquisition-related costs in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. These costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, and the discussion under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021.
Overview
We are a global medical technology company that develops and commercializes products to treat urinary and fecal dysfunction, including: (i) an implantable sacral neuromodulation (SNM) systems to treat urinary urge incontinence (UUI) and urinary urgency frequency (UUF), together referred to as overactive bladder (OAB), as well as fecal incontinence (FI), and non-obstructive urinary retention (UR); and (ii) a urethral bulking agent to treat female stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
OAB affects an estimated 87 million adults in the United States and Europe. Another estimated 40 million adults are reported to suffer from FI. SNM therapy is an effective and durable treatment that has been widely used and reimbursed in Europe and the United States for the past two decades. SNM is the only OAB treatment with
24

Table of Contents
proven clinical superiority to standard medical therapy and OAB patients who receive SNM report significantly higher quality of life than patients undergoing drug treatment.
We estimate the global SNM market is now approximately $650 million to $700 million and believe it is a growing market that is currently about one to three percent penetrated. Until we entered the market, it was serviced by Medtronic as a single participant.
We believe our proprietary rechargeable SNM system (r-SNM System), the first rechargeable SNM system marketed worldwide, offers significant advantages, and is well positioned to capture market share and penetrate and grow this attractive market. Our r-SNM System is designed to last approximately 15 years in the human body, is only 5cc in volume, offers broad MRI access, ease of use, intuitive programmers, and the longest recharging interval among rechargeable SNM systems.
We have marketing approvals in Europe, Canada, and Australia for all relevant clinical indications and initiated limited commercial efforts in England, the Netherlands and Canada in late 2018. Revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2021 from international operations in Canada, Europe, the U.K., and Australia, was approximately $2.1 million.
Our initial premarket approval (PMA) application for our r-SNM System for the treatment of FI was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on September 6, 2019, and our PMA application for our r-SNM System for the treatment of OAB and UR was approved by the FDA on November 13, 2019.
We are primarily focused on commercializing our products in the United States, which accounts for the vast majority of SNM sales worldwide. We have established a significant commercial infrastructure, with over 240 sales personnel and clinical specialists and we continue to make significant investments to build our commercial organization to market and support our products. When making hiring decisions for these roles, we prioritize individuals with strong sales backgrounds and experience in SNM therapy and other neurostimulation applications, and who also have existing relationships with urologists and urogynecologists.
Revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2021 from accounts located across the United States was approximately $32.3 million.
In February 2021, the FDA approved a third-generation INS for our r-SNM System under a PMA supplement. The third-generation INS upgrades the embedded software in the INS and the functionality of the patient remote control. These modifications give patients the ability to make broader stimulation parameter adjustments at home, including selecting a second therapy program that was set post-operatively based on interoperative findings.
Our ability to generate revenue and become profitable will depend on our ability to continue to successfully commercialize our r-SNM System and any product enhancements we may advance in the future. We expect to derive future revenue by increasing patient and physician awareness of our r-SNM System. If we are unable to accomplish any of these objectives, it could have a significant negative impact on our future revenue. If we fail to generate sufficient revenue in the future, our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and future prospects would be materially and adversely affected.
We also intend to continue to make investments in research and development efforts to develop improvements and enhancements to our r-SNM System.
In the United States, the cost required to treat each patient is reimbursed through various third-party payors, such as commercial payors and government agencies. Most large insurers have established coverage policies in place to cover SNM therapy. Certain commercial payors have a patient-by-patient prior authorization process that must be followed before they will provide reimbursement for SNM therapy. Outside the United States, reimbursement levels vary significantly by country and by region, particularly based on whether the country or region at issue maintains a single-payor system. SNM therapy is eligible for reimbursement in Canada, Australia, and certain countries in Europe, such as Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. Annual healthcare budgets generally determine the number of SNM systems that will be paid for by the payor in these single-payor system countries and regions.

We currently outsource the manufacture of the implantable components of our r-SNM System. We plan to continue with an outsourced manufacturing arrangement for the foreseeable future. Our contract manufacturers are all recognized in their field for their competency to manufacture the respective portions of our r-SNM System and have quality systems established that meet FDA requirements. We believe the manufacturers we currently utilize have sufficient capacity to meet our launch requirements and are able to scale up their capacity relatively quickly with limited capital investment.
Prior to obtaining FDA approval, we devoted substantially all of our resources to research and development activities related to our r-SNM System, including clinical and regulatory initiatives to obtain marketing approvals. We expect to spend a significant amount of our resources on sales and marketing activities as we commercialize and market our r-SNM System in the United States.
We incurred net losses of $22.5 million and $14.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $257.0 million as of March 31, 2021 compared to $234.5 million at December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, we had available cash and cash equivalents of approximately $131.0 million, current liabilities of approximately $24.0 million, and long-term liabilities of approximately $90.8 million.
Prior to our initial public offering (IPO), we financed our operations primarily through preferred stock financings and amounts borrowed under a Loan and Security Agreement, dated February 6, 2018, between us and Silicon Valley Bank (the Loan Agreement). Through our IPO in November 2018, an offering completed in November 2019 and an offering completed in May 2020, we received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $405.1 million. We have invested heavily in product development and continuous improvement to our r-SNM System. We have also made significant investments in clinical studies to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of our r-SNM System and to support regulatory submissions. Because of these and other factors, we expect to continue to incur net losses for the next few years and we may require additional funding, which may include future equity and debt financings. Adequate funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms when needed could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
May 2020 Follow-On Offering
On May 12, 2020, we completed a follow-on offering by issuing 4,600,000 shares of common stock, at an offering price of $32.50 per share, inclusive of 600,000 shares of our common stock issued upon the exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares. The gross proceeds to us from this follow-on offering were $149.5 million and the net proceeds were approximately $140.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses payable by us.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted our sales, primarily in the second quarter of 2020, by significantly decreasing and delaying the number of procedures performed using our r-SNM System, and we expect that the pandemic could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Similar to the general trend in elective and other surgical procedures, the number of procedures performed using our r-SNM System decreased significantly as healthcare organizations in the United States and globally, including in Europe and Canada, have prioritized the treatment of patients with COVID-19 or have altered their operations to prepare for and respond to the pandemic. Specifically, substantially all of the procedures using our r-SNM System were postponed or cancelled from middle of March 2020 through May 2020, but order flow began a gradual recovery in May 2020 and continued to improve in the second half of 2020 through the first quarter of 2021.
To protect the health of our employees, their families, and our communities, we have restricted access to our offices to personnel who must perform critical activities that must be completed on-site, limited the number of such personnel that can be present at our facilities at any one time, requested that many of our employees work remotely, and implemented strict travel restrictions. These restrictions and precautionary measures have not adversely affected our operations. The full extent of COVID-19’s effect on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the pandemic, and additional protective measures implemented by the governmental authorities, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict considering the rapidly evolving landscape. However, if the pandemic continues to evolve into a long-term
26

Table of Contents
severe worldwide health crisis, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
AMF License Agreement
On October 1, 2013, we entered into a license agreement (the License Agreement) with the Alfred E. Mann Foundation for Scientific Research (AMF), pursuant to which AMF licensed us certain patents and know-how (AMF IP), relating to, in relevant part, an implantable pulse generator and related system components in development by AMF as of that date, in addition to any peripheral or auxiliary devices, including all components, that when assembled, comprise such device, excluding certain implantable pulse generators (AMF Licensed Products).
Under the License Agreement, for each calendar year beginning in 2018, we are obligated to pay AMF a royalty on an AMF Licensed Product-by-AMF Licensed Product basis if one of the following conditions applies: (i) one or more valid claims within any of the patents licensed to us by AMF covers such AMF Licensed Products or the manufacture of such AMF Licensed Products or (ii) for a period of 12 years from the first commercial sale anywhere in the world of such AMF Licensed Product, in each case. The foregoing royalty is calculated as the greater of (a) 4% of all net revenue derived from the AMF Licensed Products, and (b) a minimum annual royalty (the Minimum Royalty), payable quarterly. The Minimum Royalty automatically increases each year, subject to a maximum amount of $200,000 per year. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we have recorded royalties of $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively. We have 60 days to pay AMF the royalty amount due under the License Agreement, and if we fail to pay AMF within such 60-day period, AMF may, at its election, convert the exclusive license to a non-exclusive license or terminate the License Agreement.

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of acquisition costs of the components of our r-SNM System, third-party contract labor costs, overhead costs, as well as distribution-related expenses such as logistics and shipping costs. The overhead costs include the cost of material procurement and operations supervision and management personnel. We expect overhead costs as a percentage of revenue to decrease as our sales volume increases. Cost of goods sold also include other expenses such as scrap and inventory obsolescence. We expect cost of goods sold to increase in absolute dollars primarily as, and to the extent, our revenue grows. We expect gross margin to vary based on regional differences in pricing and discounts negotiated by customers.
We calculate gross margin as gross profit divided by revenue. We expect future gross margin will be affected by a variety of factors, including manufacturing costs, the average selling price of our r-SNM System, the
27

Table of Contents
implementation of cost-reduction strategies, inventory obsolescence costs, which may occur when new generations of our r-SNM System are introduced, and to a lesser extent, the sales mix between the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia as our average selling price in the United States is expected to be higher than in Canada, Europe and Australia and foreign currency exchange rates. Our gross margin may increase over the long term to the extent our production volumes increase and we receive discounts on the costs charged by our contract manufacturers, thereby reducing our per unit costs. Additionally, our gross margin may fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to seasonality.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, including stock-based compensation, product development, including testing and engineering, and clinical studies to develop and support our r-SNM System, including clinical study management and monitoring, payments to clinical investigators, and data management. Other research and development expenses include consulting and advisory fees, royalty expense, travel expenses, and equipment-related expenses and other miscellaneous office and facilities expenses related to research and development programs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We expect to continue incurring research and development expenses in the future as we develop next generation versions of our r-SNM System and expand to new markets. We expect research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue to vary over time depending on the level and timing of initiating new product development efforts and new clinical development activities.
The following table summarizes our research and development expenses by functional area for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, including stock-based compensation, and spending related to finance, information technology, human resource functions, consulting, legal, and professional service fees. Other general and administrative expenses include director and officer insurance premiums, investor relations costs, office-related expenses, facilities and equipment rentals, bad debt expense, and travel expenses. We expect our general and administrative expenses will significantly increase in absolute dollars as we increase our headcount and expand administrative personnel to support our growth and operations as a public company including finance personnel and information technology services. Additionally, we anticipate increased legal expenses associated with our patent infringement litigation with Medtronic. These expenses will further increase as we no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, which requires us to comply with certain additional reporting requirements effective December 31, 2020. We expect general and administrative expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue primarily as, and to the extent, our revenue grows.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, including stock-based compensation, trade shows, booth exhibition costs, and the related travel for these events. Other sales and marketing expenses include consulting and advisory fees. We expect sales and marketing expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we expand our commercial infrastructure to both drive and support our expected growth in

revenue. However, we expect sales and marketing expenses to decrease as a percentage of revenue in the long term primarily as, and to the extent, our revenue grows.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets consist primarily of amortization expense on patent license asset, manufacturing license asset, technology, and customer relationships. We amortize finite lived intangible assets over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method. Indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) may not be recoverable. If impairment is indicated, we measure the amount of the impairment loss as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted future cash flow analysis.
Acquisition-Related Costs
Acquisition-related costs consist of expenses incurred related to the Contura acquisition.
Other (Expense) Income, Net
Other (expense) income, net consists primarily of interest expense payable under the Loan Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank and other debt arrangements, net of interest income earned on cash equivalents.
Income Tax (Benefit) Expense
Income tax (benefit) expense consists of income tax benefit from deferred tax assets in our foreign operations, net of state income taxes in California. We maintain a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets in our domestic operations, including net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits and other tax credits.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020
Net Revenue
Net revenue was $34.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and was primarily derived from the sale of our r-SNM Systems to customers in the United States, Europe and Canada. Net revenue was $26.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and was derived from the sale of our r-SNM System to customers in the United States, Europe and Canada. The increase in net revenue is primarily due to increased sales of our r-SNM System as we expanded our customer base in the U.S. and international markets, as well as the addition of $1.5 million in Bulkamid sales.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin
We incurred $14.0 million of cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2021. We incurred $9.9 million of cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Gross margin was 59.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 62.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in gross margin is primarily due to lower absorption rates.

Table of Contents
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses increased $2.5 million, or 36.7%, to $9.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $6.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to an increase of $2.4 million in personnel costs including salaries and wages, stock-based compensation and other employee-related benefits.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased $1.0 million, or 13.4%, to $6.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $7.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily as a result of a decrease of $1.0 million in legal and consulting costs, as higher costs were incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2020 related to the Medtronic litigation.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses increased $4.4 million, or 26.3%, to $20.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $16.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in sales and marketing expenses was primarily due to an increase of $3.2 million related to personnel costs including salaries and wages, stock-based compensation and other employee-related benefits and an increase of $1.0 million related to advertising expenses.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets increased $0.6 million, or 2,260.1%, to $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to minimal amortization of intangible assets in the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in amortization of intangible assets was primarily due to an increase of technology and customer relationships acquired related to the Contura acquisition.
Acquisition-Related Costs
Acquisition-related costs was $4.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 related to the Contura acquisition.
Other (Expense) Income, Net
Other expense, net was $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 consisting primarily of interest expense incurred related to the Loan Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. Other income, net was $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 consisting primarily of interest income earned on cash equivalents and short-term investments, partially offset by interest expense incurred related to the Loan Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank.
Income Tax (Benefit) Expense
We recorded income tax benefit or the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily related to deferred tax assets generated in our foreign operations related to the Contura acquisition. We recorded minimal income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We only began full-scale commercialization of our r-SNM System in late 2019. We have expended significant resources on research and development activities, growing our operations organization and building and training our sales organization.
We incurred net losses of $22.5 million and $14.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $257.0 million as of March 31, 2021 compared to $234.5 million at December 31, 2020. We expect to continue to spend a significant amount of our existing resources on sales and marketing activities as we continue to commercialize and market our products in the United States and internationally.
As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $131.0 million compared to $241.2 million at December 31, 2020. We expect that our cash and cash equivalents on hand will be sufficient to fund our operations
31

Table of Contents
through at least the next 12 months. We fund our operations through a combination of proceeds from public offerings of our common stock, cash receipts from sales of our r-SNM System and proceeds from our Loan Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank. As of March 31, 2021, we had $79.6 million in outstanding borrowings, as discussed below under “Indebtedness.”
We may need to raise additional financing in the future to facilitate our business operations. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders could experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, may involve covenants further restricting our operations or our ability to incur additional debt. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms that are not favorable to us or our stockholders.

Indebtedness
On February 25, 2021, the Company entered into the Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, as the administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders, under which the Company obtained a loan in the principal amount of $75 million pursuant to the Loan, which is currently outstanding. The Loan under the Loan and Security Agreement matures on February 1, 2024, unless earlier accelerated upon an event of default. The Loan bears interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (a) 9.00% and (b) 5.75% above the current prime rate, with only interest due and payable monthly until September 1, 2022, at which time interest and principal will be due and payable monthly in equal monthly payments. The Loan and Security Agreement also sets out that the Loan is subject to a final payment fee equal to 6.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loan.
We may prepay amounts outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement at any time with 5 days prior written notice to Silicon Valley Bank. In the event that we elect to prepay the Loan prior to the Maturity Date, we are required to pay a fee in the amount of (a) 2.00% of the outstanding principal balance if such prepayment occurs prior to February 25, 2022 or (b) 1.00% of the outstanding principal balance if such prepayment occurs on or after February 25, 2022.
The Loan and Security Agreement contains customary events of default that include, among others, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, a default in the event a material adverse change occurs, defaults in the event our assets are attached or we are enjoined from doing business, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, cross-defaults to certain other material indebtedness, material judgment defaults, and inaccuracy of representations and warranties. The occurrence of an event of default could result in an increase to the applicable interest rate of 5.00%, acceleration of and present occurrence of the Maturity Date, and the consequent obligation for us to repay in full in cash all amounts outstanding under the Loan and Security Agreement, and a right by the lenders to exercise all remedies available under the Loan and Security Agreement and related agreements, including the right to dispose of the collateral as permitted under applicable law.
All obligations under the Term Loan are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets, excluding intellectual property assets and more than 65% of the shares of voting capital stock of any of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company has agreed with Silicon Valley Bank not to encumber its intellectual property assets without Silicon Valley Bank’s prior written consent unless a security interest in the underlying intellectual property is necessary to have a security interest in the accounts and proceeds that are part of the assets securing the Term Loan, in which case the Company’s intellectual property shall automatically be included within the assets securing the Term Loan.
The Loan Agreement contains certain covenants that limit our ability to engage in certain transactions that may be in our long-term best interest. Subject to certain limited exceptions, these covenants limit our ability to or prohibit us to permit any of our subsidiaries to, as applicable, among other things:
pay cash dividends on, make any other distributions in respect of, or redeem, retire or repurchase, any shares of our capital stock;  
convey, sell, lease, transfer, assign, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of our business or property;
effect certain changes in our business, management, ownership or business locations;
merge or consolidate with, or acquire all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of any other company;
create, incur, assume, or be liable for any additional indebtedness, or create, incur, allow, or permit to exist any additional liens;
make certain investments; and
enter into transactions with our affiliates.
As of March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all debt covenant requirements under the Term Loan. While we have not previously breached and are currently in compliance with the covenants contained in the Loan Agreement, we may breach these covenants in the future. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be

affected by events and factors beyond our control. In the event that we breach one or more covenants, Silicon Valley Bank may choose to declare an event of default and require that we immediately repay all amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement, terminate any commitment to extend further credit and foreclose on the collateral. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have no further indebtedness arrangements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by applicable regulations of the SEC, that are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Contractual Obligations
Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources—Indebtedness section above for changes in debt obligations during the first quarter of fiscal year 2021; there were no other material changes to our long-term contractual obligations as reported in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021. We have reviewed and determined that those critical accounting policies and estimates remain our critical accounting policies and estimates as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all recently issued standards and have determined that, other than as disclosed in Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, such standards will not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or do not otherwise apply to our operations.
Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk and inflation risk as follows:
Interest Rate Risk
We had cash and cash equivalents of $131.0 million as of March 31, 2021, which came from public offerings of our common stock and debt financing arrangements. The goals of our investment policy are liquidity and capital preservation and we do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. We believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of these assets as a result of changes in interest rates due to the short term nature of our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Additionally, the interest rate for borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement is variable. A hypothetical 10% relative change in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We do not currently engage in hedging transactions to manage our exposure to interest rate risk.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
As we expand internationally our results of operations and cash flows may become increasingly subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All of our revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars. Our expenses are generally denominated in the currencies in which our operations are located, which is primarily in the United States. The effect of a 10% adverse change in exchange rates on foreign denominated cash, receivables and payables would not have been material for the periods presented. As our operations in countries outside of the United States grow, our results of operations and cash flows may be subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign
34

Table of Contents
currency exchange rates, which could harm our business in the future. To date, we have not entered into any material foreign currency hedging contracts although we may do so in the future.
Inflation Risk
Inflationary factors, such as increases in our cost of goods sold and selling and operating expenses, may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain and increase our gross margin and sales and marketing and operating expenses as a percentage of our revenue if the selling prices of our products do not increase as much as or more than these increased costs.
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.
Limitations on effectiveness of controls and procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2021.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

9.2    If a Set-off Claim has been Settled in favour of the Purchaser but, as at the date on which the Milestone Payment falls due for payment, remains unpaid by the Vendor, the Purchaser shall be entitled to set-off all or part of the amount of the Settled Set-off Claim against the Milestone Payment payable to the Vendor. The Purchaser may not make any set-off under this Clause 9.2 in respect of a Set-off Claim if and to the extent that any Right of Recovery (as defined in Schedule 6) is available under the W&I Policy or the Tail Policy.
9.3    A Set-off Claim shall be regarded as ʺSettledʺ for the purposes of this Clause 9 if either:
(a)    the Vendor and the Purchaser shall so agree in writing; or

34

CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS NOT MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO THE COMPANY IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.
(b)    a court of competent jurisdiction has awarded judgment in respect of the Set-off Claim and no right of appeal lies in respect of such judgment or the parties are debarred whether by passage of time or otherwise from exercising any such right of appeal; or
(c)    the Purchaser has withdrawn it by notice in writing to the Vendor,
and the term ʺSettlementʺ shall be construed accordingly, and ʺSettled in Fullʺ means, in relation to a Set-off Claim, Settled in respect of damages, interest and costs in circumstances where no other part of the Set-off Claim has not been so Settled. For the purposes of this Clause, a Set-off Claim is to be regarded as Settled whether or not it is ʺSettled in Fullʺ, and accordingly may be Settled more than once.
9.4    If a Set-off Claim has not been Settled in Full as at the date on which the Milestone Payment falls due for payment (an "Outstanding Claim"), then subject to the Purchaser delivering to the Vendor a copy of a satisfactory Counsel's opinion the Purchaser shall, subject to Clause 9.5 be entitled to withhold from the Milestone Payment an amount up to the Estimated Liability (as defined in Clause 9.6(d)) (the "Retained Amount").
9.5    A Set-off Claim for which the Vendor has no liability as a result of paragraph 1.2 of Schedule 6 shall be deemed to have lapsed for the purposes of this Clause 9 on the day following the last day on which legal proceedings in relation to that Set-off Claim could have been validly served in accordance with that paragraph.
9.6    A Counsel's opinion shall be regarded as satisfactory for the purposes of Clause 9.4 if:
(a)    the opinion is provided by a Queen's Counsel of at least five years' standing and with a reasonable level of experience with respect to the subject matter of the claim;
(b)    the opinion is in writing;
(c)    the opinion states that in the opinion of Counsel, on the balance of probabilities, the Outstanding Claim will succeed; and
(d)    the opinion contains Counsel's estimate of the maximum amount for which the Vendors are likely to be liable pursuant to the Outstanding Claim (the "Estimated Liability").
9.7    The Purchaser shall have the sole right, but after reasonable consultation with the Vendor, to select the Queen's Counsel to be instructed for the purposes of Clause 9.4. The Queen's Counsel shall be instructed by solicitors acting for the Purchaser who shall supply a copy of the instructions to the Vendor.
9.8    Where the Purchaser is holding a Retained Amount in respect of an Outstanding Claim, the following provisions shall apply upon the Outstanding Claim being Settled:

35

CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS NOT MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO THE COMPANY IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.
(a)    where the Outstanding Claim is Settled in favour of the Purchaser, the amount due in respect of the claim shall be set off by the Purchaser against the Retained Amount and, if the Retained Amount exceeds the amount at which the claim is Settled, the excess shall be paid to the Vendor; and
(b)    where the Outstanding Claim is Settled in favour of the Vendor, the Retained Amount shall be paid to the Vendor,
provided always that, if at the time the Outstanding Claim is Settled, there remain one or more other Outstanding Claims which have not been Settled in Full and in respect of which a satisfactory Counsel's opinion has been delivered to the Vendor in accordance with Clause 9.4, the Purchaser shall be entitled to continue to hold the Retained Amount or, if lower, an amount equal to the aggregate Estimated Liability in respect of such Outstanding Claims.
9.9    The set-off by the Purchaser of any amount due in respect of any Set-off Claim against any amount payable to the Vendor pursuant to Clause 6 and Clause 7 shall not restrict the rights of the Purchaser to recover any further sum due to it in respect of that or any other Set-off Claim not satisfied by such set-off.
9.10    Any set-off shall be treated as a reduction to the consideration paid for the Shares.
10.    ESCROW
Following the payment of the Escrow Amount into the Escrow Account (in accordance with Part 2 of Schedule 4), the Escrow Amount shall be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 9.
11.    WARRANTIES
11.1    The Vendor warrants to the Purchaser that each statement set out in Schedule 5 and Part 3 of Schedule 8 is true and accurate and not misleading at the date of this Agreement.
11.2    Each Warranty and Tax Warranty shall be separate and independent and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, shall not be limited by reference to any other Warranty or Tax Warranty or any other provision of this Agreement.
11.3    Where any Warranty or Tax Warranty is qualified by reference to the Vendor's knowledge, information and belief or in any other similar manner:
(a)    the Vendor shall be treated as having knowledge of all matters which are within the knowledge of each director or officer of the Vendor;

shall prejudice or prevent any Claim or reduce the amount recoverable under any Claim.
11.6    The Vendor shall not be liable in respect of any Warranty Claim to the extent that the matter giving rise to such claim was within the actual knowledge of the Purchaser Key Personnel or was Disclosed.
11.7    Save in the case of fraud, the Vendor agrees to waive any rights, remedies or claims which the Vendor may have against any Acquired Group Company or any director, officer, employee or agent of any Acquired Group Company in respect of any misrepresentation, inaccuracy or omission in or from any information or advice supplied or given by any such person on which the Vendor may have relied or which the Vendor may have taken into account in agreeing to give any Warranty or Tax Warranty in preparing the Disclosure Letter or in agreeing to any term of this Agreement.
11.8    The only warranties given in respect of Tax are the Tax Warranties and the Warranties shall be deemed not to be given in respect of Tax.

12.1    The provisions of Schedule 6 shall apply for the purpose of limiting the liability of the Vendor in respect of Warranty Claims and Tax Warranty Claims.

16.4    If the Purchaser would, but for the use of a Purchaser's Relief (as defined in Part 1 of Schedule 8), incur a Taxation liability falling within Clause 16.3, it shall be deemed for the purposes of that Clause to have incurred and paid that liability.
16.5    If the Purchaser assigns the benefit of this Agreement in whole or in part to any party, or if the Purchaser is or becomes not tax resident in the United Kingdom, or is or becomes tax resident elsewhere, or if there is a change in law after Completion, Clauses 16.2, 16.3 and 16.4 shall only apply to a payment to the Purchaser to the extent that they would have applied had the benefit not been so assigned, had the Purchaser been and remained tax resident in the United Kingdom, or had there been no change in law.

(a)    the Guarantor determines that it would be required to make disclosure of material information in the Registration Statement that the Guarantor has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or
(b)    the Guarantor has experienced some other material non-public event the disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith judgment of the Guarantor, would adversely affect the Guarantor,
provided that (1) in no event shall the Holders be suspended from selling Consideration Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement for a period that exceeds an aggregate of 60 days in any 180-day period or 135 days in any 365-day period, (2) this right may not be exercised more than two times in any 365-day period and (3) this right may not be exercised unless sales under all other registration statements of the Guarantor filed with the SEC and effective under the Securities Act shall also be suspended.

(a)    the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus Supplement includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which any such statement is made; or
(b)    the issuance or express threat of issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose.
25.5    Following the provision of the notice contemplated by Clause 25.4, the Guarantor will as promptly as practicable:
(a)    amend or supplement the Prospectus Supplement or take other appropriate action so that the Prospectus Supplement does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; and
(b)    take such other commercially reasonable action as is necessary to remove a stop order, suspension, threat thereof or proceedings related thereto.

(a)    any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or any document incorporated by reference therein;
(b)    any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; or
(c)    any violation or alleged violation by the Guarantor (or any of its agents or affiliates) of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities or ʺblue skyʺ law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law,
and the Guarantor shall, and it hereby agrees to, reimburse, upon request and as incurred, each such Holder, and each such officer, director, member, partner, stockholder, employee, legal counsel, accountants, agents, successors and assigns and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Guarantor will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon (i) a Holder's failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, (ii) the use by a Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus Supplement after the Guarantor has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus Supplement is outdated or defective, or (iii) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Holder or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in the Prospectus Supplement.
25.8    Each Holder agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Guarantor, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Guarantor (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against
50

CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS NOT MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO THE COMPANY IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.
any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from:
(a)    the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus Supplement after the Guarantor has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus Supplement is outdated or defective; or
(b)    any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Holder to the Guarantor specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement or amendment or supplement thereto,
provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify set forth in this Clause 25.8 shall be individual, not joint and several, for each Holder and the liability of each Holder hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Consideration Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement.
25.9    Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall:
(a)    give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and;
(b)    permit such indemnifying party to assume the defence of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party,
provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defence of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless:
(i)    the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses; or
(ii)    the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to assume the defence of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person; or
(iii)    in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party or any other indemnified party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defence of such claim on behalf of such person),

51

and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defence of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for each indemnified party with respect to any claim. If the indemnifying party assumes such defence, the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in defence thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense (except as provided in the first sentence of this Clause 25.9), separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party chooses to defend any claim or litigation, the indemnified party shall cooperate in the defence or prosecution thereof. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. Whether or not the indemnifying party shall have assumed the defence of a claim or litigation, the indemnified party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such claim or litigation without the indemnifying party's written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
25.10    Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of an indemnified party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Clause 25) shall be paid to the indemnified party, as incurred; provided, that the indemnified party shall promptly reimburse the indemnifying party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which it is finally judicially determined (not subject to appeal) such indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder.
25.11    If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs of this Clause 25 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party, on the one hand, and the indemnifying party, on the other hand, with respect to the offering of securities. If, however, the allocation in the first sentence of this Clause 25.11 is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative faults, but also the relative benefits of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Clause 25.11 were to be determined by pro rata allocation considerations or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentence of this Clause 25.11. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action,

proceeding or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder shall be liable to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount equal to the sum of (i) the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Consideration Shares sold by such Holder pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement, minus (ii) any amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Clause 25.8 above (except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct).
25.12    Each Holder shall bear all agent and brokerage fees and commissions (including any underwriting discounts and commissions) in connection with any registration of any of its Consideration Shares by the Guarantor. The Guarantor shall bear all other fees and expenses in connection with any registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement prepared, filed or caused to become effective pursuant to this Agreement, including all registration and filing fees, all printing costs and all fees and expenses of counsel and accountants for the Guarantor.
25.13    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Clause 25(i) shall survive the Completion, and (ii) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Holder, its successors or assigns, or, if such Holder is a natural person, his or her heirs and his or her or their trustees or administrators or persons acting in similar capacities. Unless required by law, this Clause 25 may not be amended, altered, or repealed after the Completion in such a manner as to adversely affect any of the rights of any Holder without the prior written consent of the affected Holder.
26.    EXIT BONUS PAYMENTS
26.1    If an Exit Bonus Payment becomes payable by the Vendor to an Exit Bonus Participant then, provided that Exit Bonus Participant is at the relevant time an employee (for the purposes of taxes on income and social security contributions) of an Acquired Group Company:
(a)    the Vendor agrees with the Purchaser that it shall within 10 Business Days of the Exit Bonus Payment becoming payable, pay to the Purchaser or at the Purchaser’s direction (i) the amount of the Exit Bonus Payment plus (ii) (if applicable) an amount equal to any secondary Class 1 (employers') National Insurance Contributions in respect of the United Kingdom or any equivalent amount payable elsewhere arising as a result of the Exit Bonus Payment and the Purchaser hereby directs the Vendor to pay such amounts to the Acquired Group Company that is the employer of the relevant Exit Bonus Participant;
(b)    subject to receipt by the Purchaser, or pursuant to the direction above relevant Acquired Group Company of the payment due under Clause 26.1(a), the Purchaser shall procure that the relevant Acquired Group Company:

53

CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS NOT MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO THE COMPANY IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.
(i)    makes a withholding for any liability of any member of the Acquired Group for any amount of Tax (including income tax and social security contributions, including primary Class 1 (employees) National Insurance Contributions but excluding any liability of any member of the Acquired Group to account for any secondary Class 1 (employers') National Insurance Contributions), whether of the United Kingdom or any equivalent amount payable elsewhere arising as a result of the Exit Bonus Payment, and shall pay such amount to the relevant Tax Authority (the "Employee Tax Liability");
(ii)    accounts to the relevant Tax Authority for any secondary Class 1 (employers') National Insurance Contributions arising as a result of the Exit Bonus Payment; and
(iii)    within 20 Business Days of receipt of the amounts specified in Clause 26.1(a) pays to the relevant Exit Bonus Participant the amount of the Exit Bonus Payment less the Employee Tax Liability.
26.2    The Vendor shall indemnify and keep the Purchaser fully indemnified against all claims, demands, actions and proceedings, and shall pay to the Purchaser a sum equal to all damages, losses, costs, expenses and liabilities, in each case, suffered or incurred by the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser's Group under or in connection with any breach by the Vendor of Clause 26.1(a).
26.3    The Purchaser shall indemnify and keep the Vendor fully indemnified against all claims, demands, actions and proceedings, and shall pay to the Vendor a sum equal to all damages, losses, costs, expenses and liabilities, in each case, suffered or incurred by the Vendor or any member of the Vendor's Group under or in connection with any breach by the Purchaser of Clause 26.1(b).
26.4    Subject to Clause 26.5 below, the relevant Acquired Group Company incurs a Taxation liability which results from, or is calculated by reference to, any sum paid under this Clause 26, the amount so payable shall be increased by such amount (after taking into account Taxation payable in respect of the amount) as will ensure that, after payment of the Taxation liability, the Acquired Group Company is left with a net sum equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxation liability arisen. If and to the extent that such payment should not have been subject to Taxation, the Acquired Group Company shall pay to the Vendor within three Business Days of obtaining any refund or credit, an amount equal to the lesser of the value of the refund or credit obtained and the additional sum paid under this Clause 26.4. This Clause 26.4 shall not apply in respect of any secondary Class 1 (employers’) National Insurance Contributions in respect of the United Kingdom or any equivalent amount payable elsewhere arising as a result of the Exit Bonus Payment, which the Vendor has funded under Clause 26.1(a).
26.5    The provisions of Clauses 16.5 and 16.6 shall apply mutatis mutandis as if the references in those Clauses to Clauses 16.2, 16.3 and 16.4 were references to Clause 26.4.

27.    COLLECTION DEBTS
27.1    The Purchaser shall collect the Collection Debts in accordance with the following provisions:
(a)    the Purchaser shall after Completion take all such steps as are reasonable to collect the Collection Debts in the ordinary course of the business as conducted by the Vendor on Completion;
(b)    the Purchaser shall be under no obligation to commence legal proceedings to collect the Collection Debts nor to apply its own funds in settlement of the Collection Debts; and
(c)    the Purchaser shall not release, waive or compromise any of the Collection Debts or purport to do so or give time or indulgence for payment without the prior written agreement of the Vendor (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
27.2    If any Collection Debt has not been collected in full on or before the date falling 150 days after it became due (that part of the Collection Debt that has not then been collected being a ʺBad Debtʺ) then the Vendor shall pay to the Purchaser in cash an amount equal to the Bad Debt, such payment to be made in accordance with Clause 39.
27.3    If the Vendor pays the Purchaser any amount under Clause 27.2 in respect of a Bad Debt and at any time thereafter the Purchaser (or any relevant member of the Purchaser's Group) receives or recovers a sum which is directly referable to such Bad Debt then the Purchaser will (or will procure that the relevant member of the Purchaser's Group will) repay to the Vendor such of the amount recovered which is directly referable to the Bad Debt.

29.2    The Vendor shall not be obliged to make payment under Clause 29.1 if and to the extent that the R&D Repayment arises or is increased by a voluntary act of any member of the Purchaser’s Group after Completion which the Purchaser was aware or ought reasonably to have been aware would or might give rise to the R&D Repayment, and for the purposes of this clause voluntary has the meaning given in paragraph 4.2 of Part 2 of Schedule 8.

30.3    The Purchaser shall bear any stamp duty payable on the sale of the Shares.
31.    GUARANTEE
31.1    The Guarantor guarantees to the Vendor the due and punctual performance and observance by the Purchaser of all present and future obligations and liabilities of the Purchaser under or in respect of this Agreement (the "Guaranteed Obligations").
31.2    If and whenever the Purchaser defaults for any reason whatsoever in the performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantor shall forthwith upon demand unconditionally perform (or procure the performance of) and satisfy (or procure the satisfaction of) the Guaranteed Obligations in respect of which there has been default in the manner prescribed by this Agreement so that the same benefits shall be conferred on the Vendor as it would have received if the Guaranteed Obligations had been duly performed and satisfied by the Purchaser.
31.3    This guarantee is a continuing guarantee and is to remain in force until all the Guaranteed Obligations have been performed or satisfied. This guarantee is in addition to and without prejudice to and not in substitution for any rights or security which the Vendor may now or hereafter have or hold for the performance and observance of the Guaranteed Obligations.
31.4    The liability of the Guarantor under this Clause 31 shall be that of principal obligor and not merely as surety and shall not be released or diminished by any variation of the Guaranteed Obligations agreed by the Vendor with the Purchaser.
31.5    The obligations of the Guarantor under this Clause 31 shall not be affected in whole or in part by any act, omission, matter or thing (whether or not known to the Guarantor, the Vendor or the Purchaser) which, but for this Clause 31.5, might operate to reduce, release or prejudice the Guarantor's obligations, including:
(a)    any variation of this Agreement;
(b)    any neglect or delay in seeking the performance of any obligations under this Agreement;
(c)    any time, waiver, forbearance or consent granted to, or composition or arrangement with, the Purchaser or other person;
(d)    the release of the Purchaser or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of the Purchaser;

57

(g)    any insolvency or similar proceedings.
31.6    On the approval or implementation of any Compromise, and without prejudice to the Vendor's right to recover under the guarantee and indemnity given pursuant to this Clause 31, the Guarantor shall as principal obligor be liable to the Vendor for, and agrees (as a separate and additional covenant) to pay to the Vendor on demand from time to time, amounts equal to the sums that would have been payable to the Vendor by the Purchaser (or any guarantor of the Purchaser) had such Compromise not occurred. Payment shall be made by the Guarantor to the Vendor under this Clause 31.6 in the amounts and at the times at which, but for the Compromise, the Purchaser would have been obliged to make payment to the Vendor. The Guarantor's liability under this Clause 31 shall not be affected in any way by the Vendor voting (if it chooses to do so) in favour of any Compromise proposed by or in respect of the Purchaser.
31.7    The Guarantor waives any right it has or may have as against the Purchaser, the existence or exercise of which might affect the right or ability of the Vendor to obtain the full benefit of the guarantee and indemnity given under this Clause 31 if a Compromise by, or in respect of, the Purchaser were to be proposed and approved.
31.8    References in this Clause 31 to ʺCompromiseʺ shall mean any company voluntary arrangement in respect of the Purchaser (or any compromise or scheme of arrangement or any analogous procedure to any of the foregoing in any other jurisdiction) under which the Purchaser's obligations to the Vendor are or are to be compromised in any way.
32.    ASSIGNMENT AND NOVATION
32.1    Except as otherwise expressly provided in Clause 32.2 or Schedule 14, no party may assign, grant any security interest over, hold on trust or otherwise transfer the benefit of the whole or any part of this Agreement or all or any of its rights or benefits arising under or out of this Agreement without the prior written consent of each other party.
32.2    The Purchaser may at any time, without the consent of the Vendor, assign, grant a security interest over, hold on trust or otherwise transfer the benefit of the whole or any part of this Agreement or all or any of its rights or benefits arising under or out of this Agreement to or for:
(a)    a member of the Purchaser's Group (for the purposes of this paragraph (a) of Clause 32.2 the "Assignee") for so long as that Assignee remains a member of the Purchaser's Group. The Purchaser shall procure that any Assignee assigns any rights assigned to it in accordance with this paragraph (a) of Clause 32.2 back to the Purchaser or to such other member of the Purchaser's Group as the Purchaser may nominate immediately before the Assignee ceases to be a member of the Purchaser's Group; and

(b)    any person providing any loan or other financial facility to the Purchaser or any other member of the Purchaser's Group.
32.3    The parties agree that Schedule 14 shall apply with effect from Completion.
32.4    If either the Vendor or the Purchaser assigns any of its rights as permitted under this Agreement, then the liability of the Purchaser (in the case of assignment by the Vendor) or the Vendor (in the case of assignment by the Purchaser) to any such assignee(s) shall not be greater than its liability to the Purchaser or the Vendor, as the case may be, if that assignment had not occurred.
33.    SUCCESSORS
This Agreement shall operate for the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assignees of each of the parties and references in this Agreement to the parties shall be construed accordingly.
34.    ENTIRE AGREEMENT
34.1    This Agreement (together with the Disclosure Letter and all other agreements and documents entered into pursuant to this Agreement) constitute the whole agreement between the parties relating to the sale and purchase of the Shares and supersede any previous written or oral agreement between the parties relating thereto.
34.2    The Purchaser acknowledges that no provisions are to be regarded as implied into this Agreement, save for those implied by law and which are not lawfully capable of being excluded. All implied provisions lawfully capable of being excluded are excluded for all purposes.
34.3    Each party acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement it is not relying on any statement, representation, assurance or warranty that is not set out in this Agreement.
34.4    The Purchaser irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to rescind this Agreement for any misrepresentation, whether or not contained in this Agreement, or to terminate this Agreement for any other reason other than in accordance with its express terms.
34.5    The Purchaser irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to bring a claim or take any proceedings against the Vendor for misrepresentation, whether in equity, tort or under the Misrepresentation Act 1967, in respect of any misrepresentation, whether or not contained in this Agreement and whether innocently or negligently made. The Purchaser's sole remedy in respect of any such misrepresentation shall be an action for breach of contract under the terms of this Agreement if and to the extent that the subject matter of the misrepresentation in question constitutes a breach of the Warranties.

Any such waiver shall be effective only as regards the specific matter or circumstances in relation to which it is given and shall not prejudice or affect any other rights or remedies of the parties. A waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any subsequent breach.
35.3    A failure by a party to exercise, or a delay by it in exercising, any right or remedy under this Agreement or provided by law shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy. The single or partial exercise by a party of any right or remedy under this Agreement or provided by law shall not preclude any other or further exercise of that right or remedy or the exercise of any other right or remedy.
35.4    The rights and remedies of the parties under this Agreement are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law.
36.    INVALIDITY

If such modification is not possible, then the provision or the relevant part of it shall, to the extent that it is illegal or invalid or unenforceable, be deemed to be deleted from this Agreement.
36.2    If any provision or any part of any provision of this Agreement is modified or deleted in accordance with Clause 36.1, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remainder of the relevant provisions and/or this Agreement shall not be affected (and the Vendor will be bound by the terms of this Agreement as modified or deleted accordingly).
37.    THIRD PARTY RIGHTS
37.1    A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce or enjoy the benefit of any term of this Agreement, except as set out in Clause 37.2, 37.3 and 37.4.

5.5    If the Vendor pays the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser's Group a sum to settle or discharge a Warranty Claim and within five years of making the payment the Purchaser (or relevant member of the Purchaser's Group) subsequently recovers a sum which is directly referable to such Warranty Claim then either:
(a)    the Purchaser will (or will procure that the relevant member of the Purchaser's Group will) repay the Vendor such of the amount recovered from the third party which is directly referable to the Warranty Claim (less any Taxation on and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in recovering such amount and any associated insurance premium increases); or
(b)    if the amount recovered from the third party which is directly referable to the Warranty Claim (less any Taxation on and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in recovering such amount and any associated insurance premium increases) is greater than the amount paid by the Vendor to settle or discharge the Warranty Claim, then the Purchaser (or relevant member of the Purchaser's Group) is only obliged to repay to the Vendor such amount as is equivalent to the sum so paid by the Vendor in settlement or discharge of such Warranty Claim.

professional advisers) as the Vendor may reasonably request relating to the relevant Third Party Claim, provided that nothing shall require the Purchaser to disclose any documents which are legally privileged or which it is required by law or other legally binding obligation to keep confidential; and

6.4    Nothing in paragraphs 5.1 or 6.1 will prejudice, prevent or delay or be a condition precedent to the Purchaser making a Warranty Claim against the Vendor.
7.    MITIGATION
Nothing in this Schedule shall relieve the Purchaser of any common law duty to mitigate any loss or damage which it may suffer as a result of any matter giving rise to a Warranty Claim or Tax Warranty Claim.

(e)    it would not have arisen but for a voluntary act, transaction or omission after Completion of the relevant Acquired Group Company or the Purchaser outside the ordinary course of its business (as such business was carried on at Completion) which the Purchaser was aware or ought reasonably to have been aware would give rise to the Liability for Taxation; or
(f)    it has been made good without cost or loss to any Acquired Group Company, the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group; or

Company after Completion proving to be greater than those expected at the date of the relevant instalment payment to be earned, accrued or received by the relevant Acquired Group Company after Completion, and the instalment payments made prior to Completion were appropriate for the profits and gains expected; or

(k)    it would not have arisen but for a cessation, or change in the nature or conduct, in each case after Completion, of any trade or business carried on by an Acquired Group Company at Completion; or
(l)    after deduction of any reasonable costs incurred by the relevant Acquired Group Company (excluding for the avoidance of doubt any premium paid for the W & I Policy) recovery has been made at no cost to the relevant Acquired Group Company in respect of it from any person other than an Acquired Group Company or under the W&I Policy; or
(m)    any Relief other than a Purchaser’s Relief is available (or would have been so available had it not already been used to mitigate one or more Tax Liabilities of an Acquired Company which arose in respect of a period or an Event occurring after Completion and had the relevant Acquired Group Company taken any reasonable procedural or administrative action which was available to the Acquired Group Company to cause the Relief to be available) to reduce or eliminate such Tax Liability; or
(n)    it consists of any costs or expenses of the Purchaser or an Acquired Group Company which are incurred in connection with the Purchaser or an Acquired Group Company disputing resisting or appealing against a Tax Claim that relates to a Tax Liability after the date from which the Purchaser or the relevant Acquired Group Company is entitled pursuant to paragraph 9 to deal with the Tax Claim as it thinks fit; or
(o)    recovery has already been made in respect of it by the Purchaser, a member of the Purchaser’s Tax group or an Acquired Group Company under the Tax Warranties, the Tax Covenant, any other provision of this Agreement or any statutory right of recovery.

5.    OVERPROVISIONS
5.1    If, by no later than 11.59pm on the seventh anniversary of Completion, the auditors for the time being of the relevant Acquired Group Company determine (at the request and at the expense of the Vendor) that in their opinion any provision for Tax in the Accounts (other than a provision for deferred tax) has proved to be an Overprovision (and to the extent that such Overprovision has not been taken into account in computing any liability of the Vendor under the Tax Warranties or under this Schedule), then:
(a)    the amount of the Overprovision shall first be set off against any payment then due from the Vendor under this Schedule;
(b)    to the extent that there is an excess, a refund shall be made to the Vendor of any previous payment or payments made by the Vendor under this Schedule (and not previously refunded under this Schedule) up to the amount of such excess; and
(c)    to the extent that the excess referred to in paragraph 4.1(b) is not exhausted, the remainder of that excess will be carried forward and set off against any future payment or payments which become due from the Vendor under this Schedule.
5.2    After the relevant Acquired Group Company's auditors have given their determination under this paragraph 5, the Vendor or the Purchaser may, by no later than 11.59pm on the seventh anniversary of Completion, request the auditors for the time being of that Acquired Group Company to review (at the expense of the party making the request) that determination in the light of all relevant circumstances, including any facts of which it was not aware, and which were not taken into account, at the time when such determination was made, and to confirm whether in their opinion the determination remains correct or whether, in light of those circumstances, it should be amended.

6.1    If, by no later than 11.59pm on the seventh anniversary of Completion, the auditors for the time being of an Acquired Group Company determine (at the request of and at the expense of the Vendor) that such Acquired Group Company has obtained a Saving (and that Saving has not been taken into account in computing any liability of the Vendor under the Tax Warranties or under this Schedule), the Purchaser shall as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter pay to the Vendor, after deduction of any amounts then due from the Vendor, the lesser of:
(a)    the amount of the Saving (as determined by the auditors), less any reasonable costs incurred by the Purchaser or such Acquired Group Company in obtaining it; and
(b)    the amount paid by the Vendor under paragraph 1 in respect of the Liability for Taxation which gave rise to the Saving less any part of that amount previously repaid to the Vendor under any provision of this Schedule or otherwise.
6.2    The Purchaser shall notify the Vendor as soon as reasonably practicable after it or an Acquired Group Company or any member of the Purchaser’s Group becomes aware that a Saving may be or has been obtained and the Purchaser shall, and shall procure that each Acquired Group Company and each member of the Purchaser's Tax Group shall, use reasonable endeavours to obtain and utilise any Saving to which it may become entitled, save to the extent that it shall not be required to do anything which may prejudice the availability, use or amount of a Purchaser’s Relief.
6.3    The Vendor shall be entitled to require, and if so requested the Purchaser shall procure, that the auditors of an Acquired Group Company, the Purchaser or a member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group shall (at the Vendor's reasonable cost) determine the existence or amount of any Saving.

6.4    After the relevant Acquired Group Company’s auditors have made a determination under this paragraph 6, the Vendor or the Purchaser may, by no later than 11.59pm on the seventh anniversary of Completion, request that the auditors for the time being of that Acquired Group Company review (at the expense of the party making the request) that determination in the light of all relevant circumstances, including any facts of which it was not aware, and which were not taken into account, at the time when such determination was made, and to determine whether in their opinion the determination remains correct or whether, in light of those circumstances, it should be amended.
6.5    If the auditors make an amendment to the earlier determination and the amount of the Saving is revised, that revised amount shall be substituted for the previous amount and any adjusting payment that is required shall be made by or to the Vendor (as the case may be) as soon as practicable.
7.    RECOVERY FROM THIRD PARTIES
7.1    Where the Vendor has paid an amount in full discharge of a liability under paragraph 1 or in respect of a Tax Warranty Claim in respect of any Liability for Taxation and the Purchaser or an Acquired Group Company or a member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group is or becomes entitled to recover from some other person (not being the Purchaser, an Acquired Group Company, any other member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group or any current officer, director or employee of any of them) any amount in respect of such Liability for Taxation, the Purchaser shall or shall procure that the relevant Acquired Group Company shall:
(a)    notify the Vendor of the entitlement (giving reasonable details as to the entitlement) as soon as reasonably practicable; and
(b)    if required by the Vendor and, subject to the Purchaser and the relevant Acquired Group Company or member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group being indemnified by the Vendor against any Tax that may be suffered on receipt of that amount and any reasonable costs and expenses properly incurred in recovering that amount, take or procure that the relevant Acquired Group Company or member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group takes all reasonable steps to enforce that recovery against the person in question (keeping the Vendor informed of the progress of any material action taken)
provided that the Purchaser shall not be required to take any action pursuant to this paragraph 7.1 which, in the Purchaser's reasonable opinion, is likely to cause harm to its or the relevant Acquired Group Company’s commercial or employment relationship with that or any other person and the Purchaser determines in good faith that such harm is material in the circumstances.
7.2    If the Purchaser or the relevant Acquired Group Company or member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group recovers any amount referred to in paragraph 7.1, the Purchaser shall, within ten Business Days of making the recovery, pay to the Vendor the lesser of:



CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS NOT MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO THE COMPANY IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.
(a)    any amount recovered (including any related interest or related repayment supplement) less any Tax suffered in respect of that amount and any reasonable costs and expenses properly incurred in recovering that amount (save to the extent that the Tax, costs or expenses have already been made good by the Vendor under paragraph 7.1(b)); and
(b)    the amount paid by the Vendor under paragraph 2 or the Tax Warranties in respect of the Liability for Taxation in question.
8.    TAX RETURNS
8.1    The Purchaser will have exclusive conduct of all Tax affairs of each Acquired Group Company after Completion.
8.2    The Vendor or its duly authorised agent shall (at the cost of the Vendor) provide such information and assistance as the Purchaser may reasonably require in order to enable the Purchaser to prepare the Tax returns and computations of each Acquired Group Company for any accounting period ending on or before Completion (if not already submitted) and for the accounting period in which Completion occurs, to agree those returns and computations with the relevant Tax Authority and to respond to any demand, assessment or request for information from any Tax Authority relating to those returns and computations. The Purchaser shall procure (subject to receiving such information and assistance from the Vendor) that such returns and computations shall be submitted in draft form to the Vendor for comment at least thirty (30) Business Days before the expiry of any time limit for the submission of such document to the relevant Tax Authority. The Vendor shall comment within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of such document from the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall take any reasonable comments of the Vendor into account prior to any such submission; provided, however, that the Vendor shall not have any right to comment on the Purchaser (or a member of the Purchaser's Group) making a Section 338(g) Election, and neither Purchaser nor any member of the Purchaser's Group shall be obligated to make any revisions that may be requested by the Vendor that relate to the Purchaser (or a member of the Purchaser's Group) making a Section 338(g) Election.
8.3    For the avoidance of doubt:
(a)    where any matter relating to Tax gives rise to a Tax Claim, the provisions of paragraph 9 (Conduct of Tax Claims) shall take precedence over the provisions of this paragraph 8; and
(b)    the provisions of this paragraph 8 shall not prejudice the rights of the Purchaser to make a claim under this Schedule or a Tax Warranty Claim in respect of any Liability for Taxation.



CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS NOT MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO THE COMPANY IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.
8.4    The Purchaser or its duly authorised agent shall (at the cost of the Purchaser) provide such information and assistance as the Vendor may reasonably require in order to enable the Vendor or any member of the Vendor’s Tax Group or any shareholder of the Vendor to complete any Tax returns or other filings for any accounting period ending on or in which Completion occurs.
9.    CONDUCT OF TAX CLAIMS
9.1    Subject to paragraph 9.2, if the Purchaser, a member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group or an Acquired Group Company becomes aware of a Tax Claim, the Purchaser shall give notice in writing of the Tax Claim to the Vendor as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within ten Business Days of becoming aware of it, provided that the giving of such notice shall not be a condition precedent to the Vendor's liability under this Schedule or for a Tax Warranty Claim.
9.2    If the Vendor becomes aware of a Tax Claim, the Vendor shall notify the Purchaser in writing as soon as reasonably practicable and, on receipt of such notice, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have given the Vendor notice of the Tax Claim in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 9.1.
9.3    Subject to paragraph 9.4, if the Vendor indemnifies the Purchaser and any Acquired Group Company to the Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction against all liabilities, costs, damages or expenses which are likely to be incurred thereby, including any additional Tax liability, the Purchaser shall take and procure that the relevant Acquired Group Company shall take such action as the Vendor may reasonably request by notice in writing given to the Purchaser to avoid, dispute, defend, resist, appeal, compromise or otherwise deal with any Tax Claim.
9.4    Neither the Purchaser nor any Acquired Group Company shall be obliged to appeal or procure an appeal against any assessment to Tax if the Purchaser, having given the Vendor written notice of such assessment, does not receive written instructions from the Vendor within fifteen Business Days to do so.
9.5    If:
(a)    the Vendor does not request the Purchaser to take any action under paragraph 9.3 or the Vendor fails to indemnify the Purchaser or any Acquired Group Company to the Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction within a period of time (commencing with the date of the notice given to the Vendor) that is reasonable having regard to the nature of the Tax Claim and the existence of any time limit in relation to avoiding, disputing, defending, resisting, appealing or compromising such Tax Claim, and which period will not in any event be less than a period of fifteen Business Days nor exceed a period of thirty Business Days; or



CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS NOT MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO THE COMPANY IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.
(b)    the Vendor (or any Acquired Group Company before Completion) has committed or procured fraudulent conduct or deliberate default in respect of the Liability for Taxation which is the subject matter of the Dispute; or
(c)    the Vendor is declared insolvent or becomes the subject of insolvency proceedings,
the Purchaser or the relevant Acquired Group Company shall have the conduct of the Dispute absolutely (without prejudice to its rights under this Schedule) and shall be free to pay or settle the Tax Claim on such terms as the Purchaser or the relevant Acquired Group Company may in its absolute discretion consider fit.
9.6    The Purchaser shall not be required to procure that an Acquired Group Company makes an appeal against a determination by the Tax Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal or any higher tribunal (or equivalent in any other jurisdiction), unless:
(a)    the Vendor has at its own expense and after disclosure of all relevant information and documents obtained the opinion of Tax counsel of at least ten years' standing with relevant experience that there is a reasonable prospect that the appeal will succeed; or
(b)    in the Purchaser's reasonable opinion, such appeal is likely to result in a tax liability of the Purchaser or any Acquired Group Company (unless the Vendor indemnifies the Purchaser or the Acquired Group Company against such liability) or to adversely affect the business or financial interests of any of them or is contrary to the legal obligations of any of them, and the Purchaser determines in good faith that such tax liability or adverse effect, as the case may be, is material in the circumstances.
9.7    The Purchaser shall give, or procure that any Acquired Group Company or any member of the Purchaser's Tax Group shall give, such information or assistance as the Vendor may reasonably request to enable the Vendor to consider any Tax Claim or to determine what action (if any) to request under paragraph 9.3.
9.8    If and for so long as the Vendor is entitled to request any action under paragraph 9.3 in relation to a Tax Claim:
(a)    the Purchaser shall, or shall procure that the relevant Acquired Group Company shall, keep the Vendor promptly and fully informed as to all material developments in relation to the Tax Claim and promptly provide the Vendor with copies of all material correspondence and reasonably full and accurate notes of all material non-written communications with any Tax Authority relating to the Tax Claim or the matters to which the Tax Claim relates; and



CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS NOT MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO THE COMPANY IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.
(b)    no material communication relating to the Tax Claim or the matters to which the Tax Claim relates shall be made to the relevant Tax Authority without the prior written approval of the Vendor (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
9.9    Neither the Purchaser nor any Acquired Group Company shall be liable to the Vendor for non-compliance with any of the provisions of this paragraph 9 if the Purchaser or the relevant Acquired Group Company has acted in good faith in accordance with the instructions of the Vendor.
10.    PURCHASER’S COVENANT
10.1    The Purchaser covenants with the Vendor to pay to the Vendor an amount equal to any Taxation for which any member of the Vendor’s Tax Group or any director or former director of any member of the Vendor’s Tax Group (other than a person who was a director of an Acquired Group Company after Completion) is or becomes liable (or would have become liable but for the use or set off of a Relief) as a result of any member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group (including, after Completion, the Acquired Group Companies) failing to discharge Tax for which it is liable, except to the extent that such Tax:
(a)    is either subject to a valid claim under this schedule by the Purchaser which has not been satisfied or could be subject to any such claim; or
(b)    has been recovered by the Vendor or a member of the Vendor’s Tax Group or any director or former director under any relevant statutory provision (and the Vendor shall procure that no such recovery is sought to the extent that payment has been made under this paragraph 10.1).
10.2    The Purchaser covenants with the Vendor to pay to the Vendor an amount equal to any liability or increased liability to Taxation of the Vendor or any member of the Vendor's Tax Group which arises as a result of any reduction or disallowance of Group Relief that would otherwise have been available to the Vendor or any member of the Vendor's Tax Group to the extent that such reduction or disallowance occurs as a result of:
(a)    any total or partial withdrawal or any amendment effected or made by an Acquired Group Company after Completion of any surrender of Group Relief by the Acquired Group Company to the Vendor or any member of the Vendor's Tax Group for or in respect of any period or part period ending on or before Completion; or
(b)    any total or partial disclaimer made by an Acquired Group Company after Completion of any capital allowances available to the Acquired Group Company in respect of any period or part period ending on or before Completion,
save where any such withdrawal, amendment or disclaimer is made at the express prior written request or with the express prior written consent of the Vendor or made pursuant


CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS NOT MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO THE COMPANY IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.
to any provision of this Agreement and save to the extent that the Acquired Group Company received a payment for the Group Relief and such payment is returned in full by the Acquired Group Company to the Vendor or the relevant member or members of the Vendor's Tax Group.
10.3    The Purchaser covenants with the Vendor to pay to the Vendor an amount equal to all reasonable costs and expenses properly incurred (including the cost and expenses of taking any successful action under this schedule) by the Vendor, any member of the Vendor’s Tax Group or any director or former director thereof in connection with or as a consequence of any matter for which a successful claim is made by the Vendor under paragraph 10.1 or 10.2.
10.4    The provisions of clause 16.2 to 16.6 and paragraph 1 of Schedule 6 shall apply to paragraphs 10.1 and 10.2 as if references to “Purchaser” were to the “Vendor” (and vice versa).
10.5    Payment by the Purchaser in respect of any liability under paragraph 10.1 or 10.2 must be made in cleared and immediately available funds on or before the later of: (i) the date which is five Business Days before the due date for payment of the Tax, costs or expenses in question; and (ii) the date which is five Business Days after the date on which the Vendor serves notice on the Purchaser requesting payment.
11.    TRANSFER PRICING
11.1    If a liability to Tax of an Acquired Group Company has been reduced or extinguished or a Relief has arisen to an Acquired Group Company (or would have been reduced or extinguished or have arisen if the Acquired Group Company had made a valid claim in a timely manner) as a result of any adjustment being made to a provision pursuant to any applicable transfer pricing rules in circumstances where the Vendor or any member of the Vendor's Tax Group has or will have (or would have but for the utilisation of any Relief) an increased liability to Tax, save where the liability to Tax is one for which the Vendor is liable under this Schedule or the Tax Warranties or would be liable but for the limitations in Schedule 6, then the Purchaser shall procure that the relevant Acquired Group Company shall pay to the Vendor or relevant member of the Vendor's Tax Group by way of balancing payment an amount equal to the lesser of:
(a)    the increase in liability to Tax of the Vendor or any member of the Vendor’s Group or (as the case may be) the amount of the Relief utilised; and
(b)    the reduction in the liability to Tax of the Acquired Group Company or (as the case may be) the amount of the Relief that arises.
11.2    Any payment under paragraph 11.1 shall be made on the date which is the later of:



CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS NOT MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO THE COMPANY IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.
(a)    three Business Days prior to the last date on which the Tax in question is due and payable by the Vendor or the relevant member of the Vendor's Tax Group (or would have been but for the use of any Relief); and
(b)    five Business Days after written demand made by the Vendor to the Purchaser.
11.3    If:
(a)    an Acquired Group Company has a liability to Tax in respect of which the Purchaser is entitled to receive a payment from the Vendor pursuant to this Schedule or for breach of a Tax Warranty; and
(b)    all or part of such Tax is attributable to an adjustment made pursuant to any applicable transfer pricing rules,
the Vendor may by notice to the Purchaser require the Purchaser to procure that the Acquired Group Company accepts from the Vendor or a member of the Vendor's Group a payment by way of balancing payment in full or partial discharge of so much of such Tax payable by the Acquired Group Company in question as is attributable to such adjustment; and, to the extent that such a balancing payment is received by the Acquired Group Company and not repaid (under paragraph 11.4 or otherwise), the Purchaser's entitlement to receive a payment pursuant to this Schedule or for breach of the Tax Warranty shall be reduced or eliminated.
11.4    If any adjustment referred to in paragraph 11.1 or 11.3 is subsequently amended by a Tax Authority, that amended amount shall be substituted for the purposes of those paragraphs as the amount of the liability to Tax in respect of which the balancing payment should or can be made and such adjusting payment or amended claims as may be required by virtue of the above-mentioned substitution shall be made or procured as soon as practicable by the Purchaser or the Vendor (as appropriate).
12.    GROUP RELIEF
12.1    The Purchaser shall permit the Vendor to discharge (in whole or in part) any liability which the Vendor would or might otherwise have pursuant to a Tax Covenant Claim or Tax Waranty Claim by surrendering or procuring the surrender of Group Relief to the relevant Acquired Group Company or by making or procuring the making of any appropriate claim or election with the relevant Acquired Group Company, in each case to the extent permitted by law and without any payment being made by the relevant Acquired Group Company in consideration of or in connection with any such surrender, claim or election. The Purchaser shall procure that the relevant Acquired Group Company takes all such steps as are reasonably necessary to enable the Vendor to make and effect any such surrender, claim or election.



CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS NOT MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO THE COMPANY IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.
12.2    For the avoidance of doubt, the Vendor shall have no further liability under this Schedule in respect of a Liability for Taxation to the extent that it is reduced or extinguished by any surrender, claim or election referred to in paragraph 12.1. If any such surrender, claim or election is made after payment in respect of the Liability for Taxation has been made by the Vendor pursuant to a Tax Covenant Claim or Tax Warranty Claim, the Purchaser shall promptly following any such surrender, claim or election pay to the Vendor an amount equal to the amount by which such liability is reduced or extinguished by such surrender, claim or election.
12.3    The Purchaser shall procure that any Acquired Group Company shall, if requested by the Vendor, surrender to the Vendor or any member of the Vendor's Tax Group for no consideration all or part of any amount eligible for surrender by way of Group Relief arising in respect of any accounting period of the Acquired Group Company ending on or prior to Completion. The Purchaser shall procure that each Acquired Group Company takes all such steps as are reasonably necessary to enable the Acquired Group Company to effect any such surrender.
12.4    The Purchaser shall procure that each Acquired Group Company shall not without the prior written consent of the Vendor withdraw or amend any surrender, claim or election made pursuant to this paragraph 12.
13.    INSURANCE
13.1    The Vendor hereby acknowledges that:
(a)    any Acquired Group Company, the Purchaser or any member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group will not be obliged to undertake any action or to omit to take action under this Schedule if to do so would be in breach of, or contrary to anything required under the terms or by virtue of the W&I Policy; and
(b)    the Purchaser will not be in breach of its obligations under this Schedule in respect of any action undertaken or any omission if the action or omission of the Purchaser, any Acquired Group Company or any member of the Purchaser’s Tax Group was carried out pursuant to the terms of or as required by the W&I Policy.
14.    VENDOR’S VAT GROUP
14.1    The Vendor shall (to the extent that it has not done so already) make or procure that, as soon as practicable after Completion, an application is made pursuant to section 43B VATA to the relevant Tax Authority requesting that the Company be excluded from the group of companies registered as a group pursuant to section 43 VATA with VAT registration number 243 6969 72 (“the Vendor’s VAT Group”) with effect from Completion and the Purchaser shall procure that the Company cooperates reasonably with the Vendor in relation to such application.



CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS NOT MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO THE COMPANY IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.
14.2    The deeming provisions of section 43(1) VATA (other than section 43(1)(a) VATA) shall be disregarded in determining for the purposes of this paragraph 14 what supplies or acquisitions or importations have been made or are deemed to have been made by any person.
14.3    If for any prescribed accounting period for VAT purposes during which the Company is or was a member of the Vendor’s VAT Group there is an excess of allowable input tax over output tax (as those terms are defined in section 24 VATA) in respect of supplies (including self-supplies) made to or by the Company, or in respect of importations or acquisitions made by the Company, up to and including the date on which the Company is excluded from the Vendor’s VAT Group, then to the extent that such excess was treated or reflected as an asset in the Completion Accounts, the Vendor shall (to the extent not previously paid) pay or procure payment to the Purchaser of an amount equal to such excess no later than 20 Business Days after the later of Completion and the last day of such accounting period.
14.4    If for any prescribed accounting period for VAT purposes during which the Company is or was a member of the Vendor’s VAT Group there is an excess of output tax over allowable input tax (as those terms are defined in section 24 VATA) in respect of supplies (including self supplies) made by or to the Company, or in respect of importations or acquisitions made by the Company, up to and including the date on which the Company is excluded from the Vendor’s VAT Group, then to the extent that provision or reserve was made in respect of such excess in the Completion Accounts, the Purchaser shall, to the extent that such excess would not give rise to a claim under paragraph 2.1 of Part 2 (disregarding any limitations on claims imposed by para 2 of Schedule 6) (to the extent not previously paid) procure the payment by the Company to the Vendor (or at the Vendor’s direction) of an amount equal to such excess no later than 20 Business Days after the later of Completion and the last day of the accounting period.
14.5    The Vendor and the Purchaser undertake that they will on request promptly provide, or procure that there is provided, to the other all information and particulars and access to and copies of all books, accounts, documents, records and information as may reasonably be required in order to calculate or determine any liability of the parties under this paragraph 14.

15.12    The Accounts make full provision or reserve within generally accepted accounting principles for all Tax for which each Acquired Group Company is accountable at the date to which the Accounts were prepared.

The Manufacturer shall use its commercially reasonably endeavours to have available the capacities for Manufacturing the Products in the quantity as indicated by the Forecast.
3.5    In each updated Forecast, the Customer may change its volume requirements for the Product. The Manufacturer shall not be obliged to accept any changes to the Forecast that exceed a 25% change in volume for the relevant period from the previous Forecast.

Manufacturer may decline an Order within the same 10 Business Days period: (a) to the extent it relates to volumes of Product in excess of the volumes permitted under clause 3.5, and the Manufacturer can demonstrate that using reasonable endeavours it is unable to supply these incremental volumes and provided that Manufacturer complies with clause 4.5; or (b) to the extent it falls outside the maximum order quantities in clause 4.6; or (c) if the Manufacturer has suspended Manufacture and supply of the Product pursuant to clause 2.6.
4.4    Any Order may be amended or cancelled only by written agreement of both parties.
4.5    Where the volume of the Product to be delivered pursuant to an Order exceeds the preceding Forecast by more than 25%, the Manufacturer may suggest amendments to the timing or quantities for Delivery of the excess volumes of Product, in which case the parties shall use reasonable endeavours to agree such amendments, and in the event of such agreement, the Manufacturer shall promptly confirm to the Customer its acceptance of the exceeding portion of the Order, including the agreed quantity of the Product and the date for Delivery. For the avoidance of doubt, the Manufacturer shall not be entitled to decline an Order which is within a range of 25% (less or more) than the relevant preceding Forecast.

22.    TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPTION
22.1    Subject to clause 22.1.3, at any time after Commencement Date but before the end of the Term, the Customer may exercise, by giving notice in writing to the Manufacturer, a technology transfer option, pursuant to which the Manufacturer will transfer and assist the Customer in the transfer of all Manufacturing Know-how owned by the Manufacturer and necessary to enable the Customer to Manufacture the Product for use in the Field itself or have it Manufactured by a Third Party, subject to the Customer:
22.1.1    [***];
22.1.2    Accepting the transfer of all regulatory responsibilities (including the CE mark and other similar registrations) associated with the Product with effect from the date of the exercise of the option under clause 22.1, or as soon afterwards as is possible. The Customer and the Manufacturer shall cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable best efforts to enable such transfer, including signing documents, providing information and liaising with Governmental Entities as requested by the Manufacturer; and
22.1.3    Not exercising the technology transfer option before June 30, 2022.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause 22.1, and at the cost of the Customer as set out in clause 22.1.1, Manufacturer agrees to provide Customer with the Know-how needed for Customer to Manufacture Product with effect from Commencement Date, except to the extent


CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE IT IS NOT MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO THE COMPANY IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.
that providing such Know-how would require a significant investment of time from Manufacturer. For avoidance of doubt, this Know-how will include but not be limited to: (a) design history files, drawings, copies of technical reports and other documentation related to the Manufacturing process, standard operating procedures, regulatory filings, complaints, work instructions, any recovery steps established, process validation, product identity assays, in-process-control assays, formulas, and manufacturing settings relating to the Manufacturing process for the Products, and (b) allowing Customer or a Third Party designated by Customer to have access to the Manufacturing Site and observe Product Manufacturing in progress. Manufacturer will have provided the documentation identified in this paragraph within thirty (45) days of the Commencement Date and will have granted access to the Manufacturing Site within ninety (90) days of the Commencement Date.
22.2    Upon exercise of the technology transfer option and subject to the provisions of this clause 22, Manufacturer shall:
22.2.1    promptly transfer to Customer and/or a Third Party designated by Customer, in a format and medium reasonably requested by Customer, all data and information necessary to transfer the Manufacturing process, as further developed by Manufacturer (e.g. in-process control assays, standard operating procedures, etc.), to the extent not already provided to Customer pursuant to clause 22.1, and
22.2.2    (i) promptly furnish to Customer and/or a Third Party designated by Customer all reasonable assistance and personnel and answer all questions regarding the transfer of the Manufacturing process (including, but not limited to, regular check-in meetings, initial in-person training for Customer’s personnel at the Manufacturing Site concerning the use and operation of the manufacturing process, additional in-person training at Customer’s chosen manufacturing site, etc.), and (ii) continue to provide such assistance to Customer for a period of six (6) months after the commencement of the transfer; in each case, in order to allow Customer or a Third Party designated by Customer to replicate and implement the Manufacturing process and to take over the Manufacturing of the Product. Without limiting the foregoing, Manufacturer will provide Customer and/or a Third Party designated by Customer with all technical reports and all other documents that are relevant for the Manufacture of the Product using the Manufacturing process as performed by Manufacturer at such time (including, but not limited to, any recovery steps established, process validation, product identity assays, in-process control assays, relevant standard operating procedures, etc.), to the extent not already provided to Customer pursuant to clause 22.1, and
22.2.3    provided Customer gives Manufacturer at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice, (i) allow Customer to access, review and copy all records in Manufacturer’s possession, custody or control that relate to the Manufacture of the Products and (ii) cooperate in good faith with Customer to determine a mutually agreeable process to access, review and copy such records, and

regulatory responsibility and obligations, including (but not limited to) regulatory processes, certifications, SOPs and/or Product related regulatory approvals or permits.
The Parties shall agree in good faith on a schedule and plan for effecting the technology transfer.

22.3    Following the transfer of manufacturing Know-how to the Customer or its chosen Third Party supplier under this clause 22 and Customer’s assumption of all related regulatory responsibilities in a relevant jurisdiction for the Product, the Manufacturer shall have no further regulatory or product liability in relation to the Product in that jurisdiction, save for Product Manufactured by Manufacturer. For the avoidance of doubt, Manufacturer shall remain responsible for all Products it has Manufactured and Delivered to Customer.
22.4    Following the completion of the technology transfer option to the Customer or its chosen Third Party supplier under this clause 22 Manufacturer shall not make available to any Third Party any Know-how related to the Manufacturing of the Product in the Field, except as may be required under this Agreement.

Under the technology transfer as set forth in this clause 22, the Manufacturer shall transfer to the Customer Know-how and technology which is material to the Customer. Subject to the technology transfer option being exercised by Customer, the Manufacturer hereby undertakes during the Term and for a period of ten (10) years thereafter, that the Manufacturer will not Manufacture for itself, for the Manufacturer Group or for any Third Party, (i) any Product in the Field, or (ii) any other product in the Field which includes or incorporates any polyacrylamide hydrogel that is proprietary to the Customer or its Affiliates.

23.1.5    at any time after (i) completion of the Term or (ii) earlier termination in accordance with clause 21, and subject to the Manufacturer having offered to Customer to assume against reasonable remuneration the following rights and positions, the Manufacturer may discontinue, surrender or abandon the CE mark (or any equivalent Product registration) relating to the Product, and the Customer shall continue to carry out its post-market surveillance and other obligations relating to the Product after such discontinuance, surrender or abandonment in accordance with sections 11 through 15 of Schedule 4 of this Agreement, provided, however that the Customer may, except in the event of a termination due to a material breach by the Customer, request to be transferred any and all documentation, correspondence with Notified Bodies or other certification bodies or authorities held by the Manufacturer regarding the Product; and
23.1.6    the Customer shall, at any time following expiry or termination, without delay forward to the Manufacturer any complaints received by the Customer or its Affiliates, correspondence from Governmental Entities received by the Customer or its Affiliates or other information requested by the Manufacturer, in each case in relation to any Product which has been CE marked by the Manufacturer or carries an equivalent mark from the Manufacturer.

Borrower will, upon request, furnish Agent with proof reasonably satisfactory to Agent indicating that Borrower has

(a)    Term Loan Advance.

(b)    Funding. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Credit Extension that, by its terms, must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Credit Extension. Unless Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to the date of any Credit Extension, that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to Agent, Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to Agent, and Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount.

For clarity, any reference to “Agent’s Lien” or any granting of collateral to Agent in this Agreement or any Loan Document means the Lien granted to Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders.

-5-



Borrower acknowledges that it previously has entered, and/or may in the future enter, into Bank Services Agreements with SVB. Regardless of the terms of any Bank Services Agreement, Borrower agrees that any amounts Borrower owes SVB thereunder shall be deemed to be Obligations hereunder and that it is the intent of Borrower and SVB to have all such Obligations secured by the first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral granted herein (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to have superior priority to Agent’s Lien in this Agreement), and by any and all other security agreements, mortgages or other collateral granted to Agent by Borrower as security for the Obligations, now or in the future.
If this Agreement is terminated, Agent’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and at such time as the Lenders’ obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Agent shall, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower. In the event (x) all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), except for Bank Services, are satisfied in full, and (y) this Agreement is terminated, Agent shall terminate the security interest granted herein upon Borrower providing to SVB cash collateral acceptable to SVB in its good faith business judgment for Bank Services, if any. In the event such Bank Services consist of outstanding Letters of Credit, Borrower shall provide to SVB cash collateral in an amount equal to (x) if such Letters of Credit are denominated in Dollars, then at least one hundred five percent (105.0%); and (y) if such Letters of Credit are denominated in a Foreign Currency, then at least one hundred ten percent (110.0%), of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus, in each case, all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by SVB in its business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit.
4.2    Priority of Security Interest. Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interests granted herein are and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interests in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens).

4.3    Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to file financing statements and other similar forms, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Agent’s and Lenders’ interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Agent under the Code.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent, as directed by Lenders in accordance with the Lender Intercreditor Agreement or, if such rights and remedies are not addressed in the Lender Intercreditor Agreement, as directed by Lenders having a majority of the Obligations, may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

(f)    make any payments and do any acts Agent or any Lender considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Agent requests and make it available as Agent designates. Agent may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest or charges and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Agent a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Agent’s rights or remedies;
(g)    apply to the Obligations (i) any balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Agent owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;

(k)    exercise all rights and remedies available to Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).
9.2    Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks, payment instruments, or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) demand, collect, sue, and give releases to any Account Debtor for monies due, settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, and compromise, prosecute, or defend any action, claim, case, or proceeding about any Collateral (including filing a claim or voting a claim in any bankruptcy case in Agent’s or Borrower’s name, as Agent chooses) for amounts and on terms Agent determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Agent or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Agent’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and the Loan Documents (other than the Lender Intercreditor Agreement) have been terminated. Agent’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and the Loan Documents (other than the Lender Intercreditor Agreement) have been terminated.
9.3    Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, Agent may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Agent are Lenders’ Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Agent obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Agent are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Agent’s or and Lenders’ waiver of any Event of Default.
9.4    Application of Payments and Proceeds. Agent shall have the right to apply in any order any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations. Agent shall pay any surplus to Borrower by credit to the Designated Deposit Account or to other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Agent and the Lenders for any deficiency. If Agent, directly or indirectly, enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Agent shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Agent of cash therefor.
9.5    Liability for Collateral. So long as Agent and Lenders comply with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in their possession or under the control of Agent and/or Lenders, Agent and Lenders shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
-18-



9.6    No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Agent’s and any Lender’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Agent or any Lender thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Agent’s and each Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Agent and each Lender have all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Agent’s or any Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Agent or any Lender from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Agent’s or any Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Agent’s or any Lender’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.
9.7    Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Agent on which Borrower is liable.

(a)    Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints SVB to act on its behalf as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
(b)    The provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, and Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities to any Lender or any other Person, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent.
10.2    Delegation of Duties. Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Agent. Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Indemnified Persons. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 10.2 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Indemnified Persons of Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.
10.3     Exculpatory Provisions. Agent shall have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall not:
(a)    be subject to any fiduciary, trust, agency or other similar duties, regardless of whether any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b)    have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Lenders, as applicable; provided that Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and
(c)    except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and Agent shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by any Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
-19-



Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Lenders (or as Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 13.7) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 3 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Agent.

10.4     Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Credit Extension that, by its terms, must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Credit Extension. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon Lenders and all future holders of the Credit Extensions.
10.5     Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default (except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest or fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders), unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Lenders.
10.6     Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Group Member or any Affiliate of a Group Member, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Group Members and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Credit Extensions hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Group Members and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent hereunder, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Group Member or any Affiliate of a Group Member that may come into the possession of Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or Affiliates.
10.7    Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to indemnify Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so in accordance with the terms
-20-



hereof), according to its Term Loan Commitment Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 10.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Obligations shall have been paid in full, in accordance with its Term Loan Commitment Percentage immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Credit Extensions) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Credit Extensions and all other amounts payable hereunder.
10.8    Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Person serving as Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each such Person serving as Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders.
10.9     Successor Agent. Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to Lenders and Borrower, which resignation shall not be effective until the time at which the majority of the Lenders have delivered to Agent their written consent to such resignation. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a financial institution with an office in the State of California, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the State of California. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent has received the written consent of the majority of the Lenders to such resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Agent be a Defaulting Lender and provided further that if the retiring Agent shall notify Borrower and Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed and such collateral security is assigned to such successor Agent) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section 10.9. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 10.9). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 10 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Indemnified Persons in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.
10.10    Defaulting Lender.
(a)    Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
-21-



(i)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as long as said Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.10), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Term Loan Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third, if so determined by the Agent and Borrower, to be held in a Deposit Account and released pro rata to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Term Loan Advance under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (B) such Term Loan Advance was made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.1 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Term Loan Advance of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Term Loan Advance of such Defaulting Lender until such time as the Term Loan Advance is held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Term Loan Commitments under this Agreement. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 10.10(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)    Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or Section 2.3(c) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower and Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Term Loan Advance of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Term Loan Advance to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitment Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)    Termination of Defaulting Lender. Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Term Loan Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 10.10(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim Borrower, Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

-22-



(d)    If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the non-Defaulting Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Agent and, in consultation with Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the non-Defaulting Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the non-Defaulting Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
11    NOTICES

12    CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE
Except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Except to the extent otherwise set forth in the Loan Documents, Borrower, Agent and Lenders each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to
-23-



preclude Agent or Lenders from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Agent or any Lender. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by Borrower in accordance with, Section 11 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER, AGENT AND EACH LENDER EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR ALL PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.
This Section 12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
13    GENERAL PROVISIONS
13.1    Termination Prior to Term Loan Maturity Date; Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations have been satisfied. So long as Borrower has satisfied the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement, and any Obligations under Bank Services Agreements that are cash collateralized in accordance with Section 4.1 of this Agreement), this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date by Borrower, effective
-24-



upon written notice of termination is given to Agent. Those obligations that are expressly specified in this Agreement as surviving this Agreement’s termination shall continue to survive notwithstanding this Agreement’s termination. No termination of this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair any right or remedy of Agent or any Lender, nor shall any such termination relieve Borrower of any Obligation to any Lender, until all of the Obligations have been paid and performed in full. Those Obligations that are expressly specified in this Agreement as surviving this Agreement’s termination shall continue to survive notwithstanding this Agreement’s termination and payment in full of the Obligations then outstanding.
13.2    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Agent and Lenders’ prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Agent’s and Lenders’ sole discretion). Agent and each Lender has the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, such Lender’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
13.3    Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Agent, each Lender and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Agent or any Lender (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (i) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (other than the Lender Intercreditor Agreement); and (ii) all losses or expenses (including Lenders’ Expenses) in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of, following from, consequential to, or arising from transactions between Agent, Lenders and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. This Section 13.3 shall survive until all statutes of limitation with respect to the Claims, losses, and expenses for which indemnity is given shall have run.
13.4    Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.
13.5    Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.
13.6    Correction of Loan Documents. Agent may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.
13.7    Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration. No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document, or release, or subordinate Lenders’ security interest in, or consent to the transfer of, any Collateral shall be enforceable or admissible unless, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in a writing signed by Agent, with the consent of the Lenders in accordance with the Lender Intercreditor Agreement or, if such item is not addressed in the Lender Intercreditor Agreement, as consented to by Lenders holding a majority of the Term Loan, and Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents. In the event any provision of any other Loan Document is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall exclusively control.
13.8    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.

-25-



13.9    Confidentiality. Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to Agent and/or any Lender’s subsidiaries or Affiliates, and their respective employees, directors, investors, potential investors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors (collectively, “Representatives” and, together with Agent and the Lenders, collectively, “Lender Entities”); (b) to prospective transferees, assignees, credit providers or purchasers of any of Agent’s or Lenders’ interests under or in connection with this Agreement and their Representatives (provided, however, Agent and the Lenders shall use their best efforts to obtain any such prospective transferee’s, assignee’s, credit provider’s, or purchaser’s or their Representatives’ agreement to the terms of this provision); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Agent’s or any Lender’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with Agent’s or any Lender’s examination or audit; (e) as Agent or any Lender considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third-party service providers of Agent and/or any Lender so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with Agent or the Lenders, as applicable, with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein.  The term “Information” means all information received from Borrower regarding Borrower or its business, in each case other than information that is either: (i) in the public domain or in Agent’s or any Lender’s possession when disclosed to Agent or such Lender, or becomes part of the public domain (other than as a result of its disclosure by Agent or a Lender in violation of this Agreement) after disclosure to Agent and/or the Lenders; or (ii) disclosed to Agent and/or a Lender by a third party, if Agent or such Lender, as applicable, does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.
13.10    Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Expenses. In any action or proceeding among Borrower, Lender, and/or Agent arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.
13.11    Right of Setoff. Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a Lien, security interest, and a right of setoff as security for all Obligations to Agent and the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Agent or any entity under the control of Agent (including a subsidiary of Agent) or in transit to any of them. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Agent or any Lender may setoff the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any Obligation of Borrower then due regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.
13.12    Electronic Execution of Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
13.13    Captions. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
13.14    Construction of Agreement. The parties mutually acknowledge that they and their attorneys have participated in the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement. In cases of uncertainty this Agreement shall be construed without regard to which of the parties caused the uncertainty to exist.
13.15    Relationship. The relationship of the parties to this Agreement is determined solely by the provisions of this Agreement. The parties do not intend to create any agency, partnership, joint venture, trust, fiduciary or other relationship with duties or incidents different from those of parties to an arm’s-length contract.
13.16    Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to: (a) confer any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any persons other than the express parties
-26-



to it and their respective permitted successors and assigns; (b) relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any person not an express party to this Agreement; or (c) give any person not an express party to this Agreement any right of subrogation or action against any party to this Agreement.
13.17    Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, which information includes the names and addresses of Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries and other information that will allow Lender, as applicable, to identify Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

All goods, Accounts (including health-care receivables), Equipment, Inventory, contract rights or rights to payment of money, leases, license agreements, franchise agreements, General Intangibles (except as provided below), commercial tort claims, documents, instruments (including any promissory notes), chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), cash, deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, fixtures, letters of credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), securities, and all other investment property, supporting obligations, and financial assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, wherever located; and
All Borrower’s Books relating to the foregoing and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above and all substitutions for, additions, attachments, accessories, accessions and improvements to and replacements, products, proceeds and insurance proceeds of any or all of the foregoing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include (a) any Intellectual Property; provided, however, the Collateral shall include all Accounts and all proceeds of Intellectual Property. If a judicial authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) would hold that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property is necessary to have a security interest in such Accounts and such property that are proceeds of Intellectual Property, then the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of the Effective Date, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Agent’s, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, security interest in such Accounts and such other property of Borrower that are proceeds of the Intellectual Property, (b) more than sixty-five (65%) of the presently existing and hereafter arising issued and outstanding shares of capital stock owned by Borrower of any Foreign Subsidiary (excluding any Foreign Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary) which shares entitle the holder thereof to vote for directors or any other matter, and (c) any interest of Borrower as a lessee or sublessee under a real property lease or an Equipment lease if Borrower is prohibited by the terms of such lease from granting a security interest in such lease or under which such an assignment or Lien would cause a default to occur under such lease (but only to the extent that such prohibition is enforceable under all applicable laws including, without limitation, the Code); provided, however, that upon termination of such prohibition, such interest shall immediately become Collateral without any action by Borrower or the Lenders.
Pursuant to the terms of a certain negative pledge arrangement with Agent and the Lenders, Borrower has agreed not to encumber any of its Intellectual Property without Agent and the Lenders’ prior written consent.
