Common use of Limitations on Termination Clause in Contracts

Limitations on Termination. Notwithstanding this Section 13.3 above, after achievement of the [***] Milestone (and payment of the associated Development Milestone Payment pursuant to Section 2.12(a) of the Merger Agreement and issuance of the Milestone Parent Shares), Asana’s right to terminate this Agreement will be limited to (i), [***] and (ii) [***]; provided that Asana’s right to so terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above shall end if (A) Parent pays Asana the Merger Consideration (other than the Breakthrough Designation Milestone if the underlying event has not yet occurred), including the issuance of the Up-Front Parent Shares and the Milestone Parent Shares, or (B) Asana’s equity interest in Parent issued to Asana (or its designee) pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Equity Consideration”) is publicly tradable on the Nasdaq Stock Market or New York Stock Exchange, whether as a result of an initial public offering, reverse merger, special purpose acquisition company transaction or otherwise, and has a value equal to or greater than [***] dollars (USD $[***]) (the “Equity Value”) (which value shall be based on all shares of Equity Consideration originally issued to Asana, and shall not give effect to any sales or other dispositions by Asana) determined as follows, either alone or in combination: • Public Equity – based on a trailing twenty (20)-day volume weighted average price per share of the stock of Parent (or its successor). • Acquisition – in the case of an Acquisition of Parent, the Equity Value shall include all consideration actually paid in respect of the Equity Consideration, including any up-front, milestone, royalty, escrow, earnout or other contingent consideration when actually paid. The value of any non-cash consideration (whether debt or equity securities or other property) paid as consideration in an Acquisition shall be determined as follows: (i) the value of securities for which there is an established public market will be determined consistent with “Public Equity” above, and (ii) the value of securities that have no established public market, and the value of consideration that consists of other property, will be as set forth in the definitive documents governing the Acquisition, or if the definitive documents do not provide a mechanism for valuing such securities, the value of such securities shall be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by Parent’s Board of Directors; provided that if Asana objects to any such determination within ten (10) days of receiving notice thereof, such fair market value will be determined by an independent investment banking or business valuation firm mutually agreeable to Parent and Asana (the costs of which shall be shared equally by Parent and Asana). If the consideration to be paid is computed in any foreign currency, the value of such foreign currency for purposes hereof shall be converted into U.S. dollars as set forth in the definitive documents governing the Acquisition, or if the definitive documents do not provide a mechanism for valuing such foreign currency, the value of such foreign currency shall be determined at the prevailing exchange rate on the date or dates on which such consideration is paid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.3(d), the limitation on termination described in Section 13.3(d)(B) shall not apply during any period in which Asana is contractually obligated to not dispose of its capital stock of Parent pursuant to a lock-up agreement entered into with the underwriters of a public offering of Parent’s securities. None of the foregoing limitations on Asana’s right to terminate the Agreement shall limit Asana’s rights to pursue damages or other available remedies for Company’s breach of this Agreement, including for a failure of Parent to pay Asana any sums otherwise payable under the Merger Agreement.
