-19-
in each case up to such number as would not cause the total number of shares underlying such Warrants granted to such date hereunder to exceed the Warrant Cap.
(b) True-Up Warrant Payment. MCSI shall be deemed “True-Up Eligible” at any applicable time if [***]. If MCSI is True-Up Eligible, MCSI will receive an additional number of such Warrants to purchase shares of Aura Group, Inc. common stock equal to the lesser of (1) an ownership of such common stock on a fully diluted basis (inclusive of any Warrants previously issued) equal to the quotient of (x) the Aura Subject Revenue for the calendar year ending December 31, 2027 divided by (y) the total revenue from the sale of Covered Products by Aura across all channels for the calendar year ending December 31, 2027 measured in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as in effect at the time, consistently applied, and (2) the Warrant Cap (inclusive of any Warrants previously issued).

ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES AND OBLIGATIONS
5.1 Limitation of Authority. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement (including MetLife’s ability to bind Aura in respect of the sale of Covered Products), other Party and its Representatives are not acting as an agent or representative of the Party and shall have no authority to act on behalf of, bind, act as agent of or otherwise represent such Party or its Affiliates.
5.2 Compliance with Law and Data Privacy and Protection.
(a) Each of MCSI and Aura shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and conduct any sales of Covered Products, or any other products or services to Eligibles, at all times in accordance with applicable Law.
(b) The Parties acknowledge that in connection with the matters contemplated by this Agreement the Parties shall engage in the sharing of certain data to facilitate the distribution of Covered Products, and the fulfillment of their obligations hereunder. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that: (i) MetLife will collect, have access, and/or retain only such Personal Information for the Eligibles that is required for MetLife in order to perform the marketing, communication and billing obligations for the Covered Products (other than such information as collected, accessible or retained from sources other than Aura or its Affiliates), including as and to the extent agreed by MetLife with the Clients and Intermediaries (as applicable), contemplated hereby, and any Personal Information of an Eligible or Aura Group Customer that Aura shares with MetLife (other than such information as collected, accessible or retained from sources other than Aura or its Affiliates) will be stored in a systems environment designed to be reasonably secure, safeguarded and in material compliance with all applicable Laws relating to Personal Information and Data Privacy; (ii) in the course of marketing and selling Covered Products to Eligibles, MetLife shall hold or obtain all material licenses and permits required under applicable Laws (including without limitation the FCRA) for MetLife’s use of Personal Information and other data regarding Eligibles in connection with this Agreement; and (iii) once a Covered Product is purchased by an Eligible (or Client or on behalf of an Eligible), any Personal Information provided to or collected by Aura will not be used by Aura or shared with any third party other than as required to provide the services and Covered Products purchased by the Client, or Eligible consistent with Aura’s ordinary course of business and, with respect to de-identified and aggregated data, in connection with the improvement and development of Aura’s products and services and shall otherwise be subject to the IT Control Requirements, and in any event in a manner that complies with MetLife’s requirements under its agreements with its Clients communicated by MetLife to Aura in writing. With respect to
-21-
information subject to the FCRA, FCRA regulations require that an individual Eligible provide authorization to Aura to access and monitor such Eligible’s credit file. In scenarios where the point of enrollment is controlled and undertaken by MetLife, and for the avoidance of doubt excluding any scenario where Aura or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective Customers or any third party engaged by such Customers or Aura or any of its Affiliates, is undertaking such enrollment or the applicable portion thereof (including where such Covered Product is Customer-paid and such applicable Eligible will activate its membership through the Aura (or its Affiliates’) website or portal), MetLife shall obtain, and where such point off enrollment is controlled by MetLife’s Customers or any third party entity engaged by MetLife’s Customers or MetLife instruct such Customer or third party to obtain, the required authorization from the applicable Eligible and is required to retain, or instruct such Customer or third party, as applicable, to retain, the record of authorization for as long as the Eligible is enrolled. Should an audit of Aura’s services by a third party require Aura to provide proof of authorization, MetLife agrees to reasonably cooperate with Aura to provide records of such authorization held by MetLife. Aura shall reasonably cooperate with MetLife in meeting its obligations under this Section 5.2(b) in respect of FCRA and information subject thereto, including providing authorization forms and similar documentation utilized by Aura and its Subsidiaries for such purpose and any internal compliance guide or similar documentation on the topic.

(d) ▇▇▇▇ will be responsible for the security of such Personal Information as described in the preceding clause (b)(iii). Exhibit D hereto sets forth a description of the data which will be shared and any related services that will be provided by each Party to the other in respect thereof. Except as may be otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, each Party shall bear its own costs incurred in connection with the provision and receipt of such data and services, including costs incurred in connection with the development and maintenance of the applicable information technology and other processes required in order to permit such data sharing and related services. [***] In the case of any Aura Data Breach, Aura shall mitigate and remediate such matter in a timely manner.
(e) No Party shall be obligated to share any data pursuant to this Agreement to the extent that such Party reasonably concludes that the provision of such data would conflict with applicable Law, Data Protection Requirements or a third-party agreement. With respect to all Personal Information received or processed by Aura, Aura shall comply with Data Protection Requirements. Without limiting the foregoing, Aura hereby represents and warrants to MetLife that with respect to itself, it has implemented, maintains and complies with a written information security program that (i) complies with Data Protection Requirements, (ii) identifies and assesses reasonably foreseeable internal and external risks to Personal Information, and (iii) includes
-22-
legally compliant administrative, technical and physical safeguards to mitigate such risks and to protect the security, availability, confidentiality and integrity of Personal Information.
(f) Aura hereby agrees that, in respect of the Personal Information, Confidential Information and other information described in clause (ii) of Section 5.2(b), it, its Affiliates, and its and their respective Representatives:
(i) have been advised of the sensitive and confidential nature of any Personal Information it may receive from the other Party under this Agreement and shall only use such Personal Information, Confidential Information and other information other than in the sale and support of the Covered Products as contemplated hereby;
(ii) [***];
(iii) shall not share any such Personal Information or any other Confidential Information with its group insurance providers (including the provider of its group identity theft or similar insurance policies), including any information that would permit or assist such provider in marketing any products to Eligibles, Clients or otherwise through the Employer Channel or Affinity Channel;
(iv) will comply with all Laws relating to Personal Information including, but not limited to, the maintenance, safeguarding, disclosure and disposal of the Personal Information it receives from the other Party; and
(v) shall implement and maintain such administrative, technical and physical safeguards as necessary to protect the security, availability, confidentiality and integrity of the Personal Information it receives from the other Party.
(g) Aura hereby agrees that during the Term and from and after the termination of this Agreement or expiration of the Term, as applicable, Aura shall not and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly induce any Client, Intermediary, Customer or Eligible to terminate or cancel any insurance program, service, relationship or agreement with MetLife, or (b) other than in compliance with Section 3.3 during the Term, and in any case from and after the termination of this Agreement or expiration of the Term, as applicable, solicit, knowingly encourage or market to any Eligible to purchase any Covered Product using Personal Information or Confidential Information received during the Term; provided that existing Aura products may be renewed subject to ongoing payment of the revenue share and Warrants to MetLife in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Party further agrees that during the Term, it shall not use Personal Information or Confidential Information received from the other Party pursuant to this Agreement or in connection therewith to solicit or encourage Clients, Intermediaries or Eligibles of the other Party to purchase any digital well-being, health, protection (including credit and financial protection and monitoring) and identity/identity theft protection products (other than Covered Products or Covered Legal Plan Products) or otherwise compete with the other Party for the sale of any products. In addition, for a period of two (2) years from the termination of Section 2.2 hereunder (whether prior to or concurrent with the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Agreement),
-23-
(i) MetLife in respect of the Aura Group Customers who, at such time, remain Aura Group Customers and have not been serviced by MetLife during the Term (other than those Aura Group Customers who are, in respect of the Covered Products or any other products or services, then-current Customers of MetLife) and (ii) Aura and its Affiliates in respect of the MetLife then-current or former (during the Term) Customers and any prospective Customers of MetLife who, at such time, have provided MetLife a notice of sale or award in writing or are in active contract negotiations where substantive terms have been agreed (with MetLife to provide a schedule of such qualified prospective customers reasonably promptly, and in no event later than forty-five (45) days, following such termination of Section 2.2), shall not and shall cause its Affiliates not to solicit, knowingly encourage or market to any Eligible of any such Customer or Aura Group Customer, as applicable, to purchase any Covered Product digital well-being, health, protection (including credit and financial protection and monitoring) and identity/identity theft protection or other product or service that is competitive with the products or services of such other Party, other than, in respect of such Eligibles, engaging in any marketing or advertisement efforts on a general solicitation basis (non-targeted or targeted on factors other than relating to employment with such Customer or Aura Group Customer). For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph shall restrict either Party from soliciting or marketing to an Eligible on a direct-to-customer basis (i.e., not through a Client) who, as of the effective date of termination is not a current Customer or Aura Group Customer or an Eligible thereof on a general solicitation basis (non-targeted) in any retail channel.
5.3 Licenses. Each Party and each Affiliate thereof that fulfills such Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall at all times maintain all necessary Permits that such Person is required to maintain under applicable Law to perform such activities.
5.4 Confidentiality. The Parties agree that, other than as contemplated by this Agreement and to the extent permitted or required to implement the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties will, and will cause their Affiliates to, keep confidential and not use or disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the exhibits and schedules hereto, utilizing the same standard of care as it uses to protect its own information of a like nature (but in any event no less than a reasonable standard of care). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of this paragraph shall not apply to Confidential Information that (x) is required to be disclosed by applicable Law or any Applicable Order or ruling of any state insurance regulatory authority or any other Governmental Entity, (y) is required to be disclosed in the financial statements of such Party or any of its Affiliates or (z) is required to be disclosed in connection with any dispute resolution proceeding between the Parties in respect hereof; provided that in the event of disclosure pursuant to the foregoing items (x) or (y), the Party subject to such requirement shall provide prior notice of the disclosure to the other Party (if legally permitted) and reasonably cooperates with efforts by the other Party to contest the disclosure or secure a protective order or other confidential treatment therefor.
-24-
5.5 Intellectual Property.
(a) The Parties agree that any and all right, title and interest in intellectual property developed by Aura under this Agreement as a result of Aura’s performance under this Agreement, including all right, title and interest in the intellectual property rights embodying and contained in the Covered Products, the copyrightable elements of each form, the trade secrets underlying such products, and the product specifications for such products shall be owned exclusively by Aura.

2. Exercise of Warrant.
2.1 Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised in respect of the Exercise Shares, in whole or in part, at any time during the Exercise Period, by delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth above (or at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder):
(a) An executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A;
(b) To the extent that the Holder is not already a party thereto and such agreement has not otherwise been terminated or expired in accordance with its terms, an executed Adoption Agreement, in the form attached to the Voting Agreement (the “Adoption Agreement”);
(c) Other than as contemplated by Section 2.2 hereof, payment of an amount equal to (i) the number of the Exercise Shares being exercised multiplied by (ii) the Exercise Price (the “Purchase Price”), either in cash or by check, by notice of cancellation of indebtedness of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to Holder, any combination thereof or other form of consideration acceptable to the Company; and
(d) This Warrant (or the Warrant issued in replacement hereof pursuant to Section 10).
2.2 Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section 2.1(c), Holder may elect to exchange the purchase rights represented by this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised), by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, for an aggregate number of Exercise Shares equal to the result of the following formula:
| X = | Y (A — B) | |||||||||||||
| A | ||||||||||||||
Where:
X – The number of Exercise Shares to be received upon such cashless exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 2.2.
Y – The total number of Shares for which this Warrant (or portion thereof) is being exercised pursuant to this Section 2.2.
A – The fair market value of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (a “Share”).
5
B – The Exercise Price.
Any reference in this Warrant to “exercise” of this Warrant, and the use of the term “exercise” herein, shall be deemed to include, without limitation, any cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2.2. The fair market value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Section 2.3 below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent any exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.2 results in, or would result in, a requirement for the payment of any withholding Tax in any applicable jurisdiction by the Company, the Holder shall be required to exercise that portion of the Warrant in respect of the applicable number of Exercise Shares pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1(c), such that the Purchase Price to be paid is at least equal to the amount of such withholding Tax (and which Purchase Price payment may be used for such purposes).
This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above. The person entitled to receive the Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Exercise Shares as of the close of business on the date the Holder is deemed to have exercised this Warrant.
2.3 Fair Market Value. If the Shares (or any other securities, cash or other property to which this Warrant may apply (for purposes of this section, the same are included in references to “Shares”)) are traded in a public market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the Shares (or the closing price of the Company’s Shares into which the Shares are convertible) reported for the Business Day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not traded in a public market, (i) other than where the Warrant is being exercised in connection with a Change of Control Transaction or other transaction involving a sale, transfer or other disposition of the common stock or any rights thereto, the Board shall determine the fair market value of the Shares in its reasonable good faith judgment, subject to adjustment in connection with the valuation mechanism described below, and (ii) where the Warrant is being exercised in connection with a Change of Control Transaction or other transaction involving a sale, transfer or other disposition of the common stock or any rights thereto, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the value or implied value, as applicable, of such Shares in such transaction. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Holder advises the Board in writing that Holder disagrees with such determination, then at the Holder’s option (at its sole discretion) either (x) the valuation shall be the value per share from the most recent third party valuation performed in respect of the applicable class of securities by the Company (such as a 409A valuation), if any, or (y) the Company and Holder shall promptly agree upon a reputable investment banking firm to undertake such valuation, which value shall, if higher than the value proposed by the Board, be used as the then-applicable fair market value for such purposes. If the Company and Holder are unable to agree on such investment banking firm, then the Company shall select three reputable investment banking firms of nationally recognized standing, and from those three firms Holder shall select one to undertake such valuation. If the valuation of such investment banking firm is greater by more than 3% than that determined by the Board, then all fees and expenses of such investment banking firm shall be paid by the Company. In all other circumstances, such fees and expenses shall be paid by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

2.4 Share Certificates.
(a) Upon the exercise of this Warrant in respect of the Exercise Shares and the receipt by the Company of the Purchase Price therefor, or upon an exercise in connection with Section 2.2, as applicable, a certificate or certificates for the Exercise Shares so purchased, registered in the name of the Holder or, subject to any applicable transfer restrictions and the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), persons who or which are Permitted Transferees (as defined in the Voting Agreement) of the Holder, if the Holder so designates, shall be issued and delivered to the Holder or such Permitted Transferee upon written request of the Holder and within a reasonable time after this Warrant shall have been so exercised in respect of such Exercise Shares. In the event that this Warrant is being exercised for less than all of the then-current number of the Exercise Shares exercisable hereunder, the Company shall, concurrently with the issuance by the Company of the number of Exercise Shares for which the Vested Shares are then being exercised, issue a new Warrant exercisable for the remaining number of the Exercise Shares exercisable hereunder.
(b) The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the applicable Purchase Price was made or the exercise pursuant to Section 2.2 occurred, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.
3. Covenants of the Company as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that all Exercise Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, and fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company shall, at all times during the applicable Exercise Period with respect to any Exercise Shares, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights and not otherwise reserved for any other purpose, a sufficient number of Shares to provide for the exercise of all Exercise Shares. If at any time during the applicable Exercise Period relating to the Exercise Shares the number of authorized but unissued Shares shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of such Exercise Shares, the Company shall take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase the number of its authorized but unissued Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes in addition to all other purposes of the Company requiring the reservation of authorized but unissued Shares.
4. Further Assurances. The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take any and all necessary actions in connection with the issuance of the Exercise Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant in respect of any Exercise Shares in order to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including, without limitation, any filing requirements under the HSR Act.

5. Representations of Holder. The Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:
5.1 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Warrant, and the Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, will be acquired for investment for the Holder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. The Holder further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person with respect to this Warrant or any of the Exercise Shares.
5.2 Disclosure of Information. The Holder has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant and the Exercise Shares and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company.
5.3 Investment Experience. The Holder is an investor in securities of companies in the same stage of development as the Company and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in this Warrant.
5.4 Accredited Investor. The Holder represents that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of the Securities Act.
5.5 Restricted Securities. The Holder understands that this Warrant and the Exercise Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being, or will be, acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.
5.6 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Holder further agrees not to Transfer all or any portion of this Warrant or the Exercise Shares except as expressly set forth in and permitted by the Voting Agreement, and otherwise in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act, and any Transfer or purported Transfer of this Warrant or the Exercise Shares that is not in compliance with this Section 5.6 shall be null and void ab initio.
5.7 Legends. The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing any Exercise Shares to be issued to the Holder may bear any legend required by the Voting Agreement.

6. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Exercise Shares; Dividends; Corporate Events.
(a) In the event of changes in the outstanding number of shares of common stock of the Company by reason of stock dividends, splits, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, reorganizations or liquidations (including in connection with a Change in Control Transaction unless this Warrant is otherwise terminated pursuant to Section 10.2), the number and class of Exercise Shares available under this Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted (as determined in good faith by the Board) to give the Holder of this Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had this Warrant been exercised prior to the event requiring adjustment and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after such event; provided, however, that such adjustment shall not be made with respect to, and this Warrant shall terminate if not exercised prior to, the events set forth in Section 10. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its Shares payable in Shares or other securities, or subdivides the outstanding Shares into a greater amount of Shares, then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Exercise Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Exercise Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of Shares, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Exercise Shares as to which this Warrant is exercisable shall be proportionally decreased. The Company shall not take any action, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or through reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, for the purpose of intentionally avoiding or intentionally seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price (including pursuant to Section 6(b)), Class, Series and/or number of Exercise Shares, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Exercise Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Exercise Price.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with a Pango Spin Off or Pango Sale, the Holder shall not participate in any dividends or distributions declared or made by the Company to the holders of its equity securities to effect the Pango Spin Off (though any dividend or distribution declared or made by the Company at such time, or in connection therewith, that is not solely for purposes of effecting the Pango Spin Off would not be so effected (for example, dividends of cash at the time of the Pango Spin Off)) or of the proceeds of the Pango Sale, as applicable, but the Exercise Price for the Exercise Shares shall be adjusted immediately upon the consummation of the Pango Spin Off or Pango Sale, as applicable, by reducing the Exercise Price by $2.57 per share; provided that, the foregoing shall not apply in respect of (i) any Exercise Shares acquired prior to or in connection with such Pango Spin Off or
9
Pango Sale pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant or any other Warrant or (ii) any other shares of capital stock (other than, for avoidance of doubt, this Warrant or any other Warrant held by the Holder) owned by such Holder prior to such Pango Spin Off or Pango Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company reasonably determines that making a dividend or distribution to its stockholders (including the Holder) in the form of equity securities is more advantageous (from a tax perspective or otherwise) to the Company and its stockholders to effect the Pango Spin-Off, the Company may elect to make such distribution or dividend to its stockholders (including the Holder), but with respect to all such equity securities distributed to the Holder, the Company shall have the right to repurchase, immediately following the consummation of the Pango Spin Off or at such other time as is reasonably determined by the Company, the entirety of such equity securities representing Pango Holdings or its applicable subsidiaries from the Holder for an aggregate purchase price of [***].
(c) In addition to the reduction to Exercise Price contemplated by Section 6(b) above, in the event that prior to or in connection with a Pango Spin Off or Pango Sale, as applicable, the Company transfers any of the assets or properties of the Company or its Affiliates (other than Pango Holdings and its subsidiaries as of the date of the Distribution Agreement) to Pango Holdings or any of its subsidiaries, or Pango Holdings or any of its subsidiaries transfers any of its liabilities or obligations to the Company or its other Affiliates, the Company and the Holder shall negotiate together in good faith to determine an appropriate reduction of Exercise Price to reflect the fair market value of such assets or properties or liabilities or obligations, as applicable; provided that (i) such price adjustment shall not apply to any de minimis transfers undertaken in good faith for valid business purposes relating to the business of Pango Holdings and its subsidiaries as of the date of the Distribution Agreement or any future business unrelated to the business of Aura and its other Affiliates, and (ii) if the Company and the Holder do not reach an agreement as to the appropriate adjustment to the Exercise Price on a reasonably prompt basis then the Company and the Holder shall promptly agree in good faith upon a reputable, nationally recognized investment banking firm to determine the appropriate reduction to the Exercise Price and if the Company and the Holder are unable to agree on such investment banking firm, then Holder shall select three reputable investment banking firms of nationally recognized standing, and from those three firms the Company shall select one to undertake such valuation (with the Company and the Holder bearing the costs and expenses of such investment bank(s) on a 50-50% basis. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) in no event shall any such process result in an increase to Exercise Price and (y) the Exercise Price shall be reduced by the value for the reduction to the Exercise Price determined by such investment banking firm ultimately selected in the immediately preceding subclause (ii) in connection with such Pango Spin Off or Pango Sale.
7. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to
10
the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value (as determined by the Company’s Board in good faith) of an Exercise Share by such fraction.
8. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), in any case consistent with the requirements of the Company in respect of similar situations with other equity securities and other holders thereof, issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
9. Stockholder Rights. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or in the Voting Agreement, the Holder shall not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company. The Holder shall have the following rights with respect to any Exercise Shares so long as it continues to hold such Exercise Shares:
9.1 Registration Rights.
(a) If the Company proposes to register (for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company and in each case solely for cash, including by filing a Form S-3) its shares of common stock (or any equity securities convertible or exchangeable for its shares of common stock) under the Securities Act in connection with a public offering of such securities, other than an Excluded Registration (a “Public Offering”), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give the Holder a notice of such registration. Upon the request of the Holder given within ten (10) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to Section 9.1(b), cause to be registered all of the Exercise Shares that the Holder has requested to be included in such registration, provided that the Holder shall be bound by the same method of distribution that is proposed to be used by the Initiating Holders (as defined below) in such offering. The Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself and its Exercise Shares as is reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of such shares in such Public Offering. To the extent permitted by law, the Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, officers who have signed the registration statement, Persons who control the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), any other Selling Holder, and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and the Holder will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this sentence shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; and
11
provided further that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by the Holder under this Section 9.1(a) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by the Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by the Holder), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by the Holder. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Holder, and the partners, members, officers, directors, and stockholders of the Holder; legal counsel and accountants for the Holder; any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for the Holder; and each Person, if any, who controls the Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Damages, and the Company will pay to each of the Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which such Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this sentence shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any of the Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration. Such indemnification requirements shall be subject to the obligations of the indemnified party and indemnifying party, as applicable, in Sections 2.8(c) - (f) of the IRA, and the parties hereto agree to be bound to such provisions for such purposes hereunder.
(b) If the Public Offering is proposed to be by means of an underwriting, the right of the Holder to include its Exercise Shares in such Public Offering shall be conditioned upon the Holder’s participation in such underwriting by executing and delivering to the Company the underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. If the managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company or the holders of securities that are proposed to be included in such underwritten offering in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the number of the Exercise Shares to be included in such offering shall be subject to the appropriate cutbacks so as to not jeopardize the success of the offering. If the Public Offering is being made in connection with the exercise by a stockholder or a group of stockholders of the Company (such stockholder(s), the “Initiating Holders”) of their demand registration rights pursuant to the terms of the IRA, the number of Exercise Shares that the Holder may elect to include in such Public Offering shall be subject to the rights of the Initiating Holders under the IRA to include their proposed number of shares in such offering. The Company shall be obligated to the Holder to undertake the obligations of the Company set forth in (i) Section 2.4 of the IRA in respect of any such Public Offering as contemplated by this Section 9.1 and (ii) Section 2.9 of the IRA in all respects.
(c) The Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s IPO and ending on the date that is 180 days from such date (plus an additional period, not to exceed 18 days, as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research
12
reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in FINRA Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto), (x) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Exercise Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable (directly or indirectly) for Exercise Shares, or (y) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (x) or (y) above is to be settled by delivery of Exercise Shares or other securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 9.1(c) shall apply only to the IPO, but shall not apply to (1) any such securities acquired by the Holder in or subsequent to the IPO, or (2) the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value. The Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with the IPO that are consistent with this Section 9.1(c) or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the Company or the underwriters shall apply to the Holder on a pro rata basis as applied to the other Selling Holders based on the number of shares subject to such agreements.
(d) The Company shall have the right to terminate, withdraw or delay any registration initiated by it under this Section 9.1 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not the Holder has elected to include all or a portion of the Vested Shares in such registration, without any liabilities or obligations to the Holder, provided that the expenses of such withdrawal (other than Selling Expenses) shall be borne by the Company. In no event shall the Holder have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any Public Offering as the result of any controversy that may arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of any of the provisions in Section 2 of the IRA.
(e) For so long as the Company has an effective registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or an automatic shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act, the Holder will have the right at any time or from time to time to elect to have all or any portion of the Exercise Shares registered pursuant to such registration statement and included therein, and sell pursuant to an offering (including an underwritten offering) all or any portion of the Exercise Shares pursuant to such registration statement (“Shelf Registrable Securities”). If the Holder desires to sell Shelf Registrable Securities pursuant to an underwritten offering, then the Holder shall deliver to the Company a written notice (a “Shelf Offering Notice”) specifying the number of Shelf Registrable Securities that the Holder desires to sell pursuant to such underwritten offering (the “Shelf Offering”). The Company will, as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event within 20 days after the receipt of a Shelf Offering Notice) use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate such Shelf Offering.
13
9.2 Information Rights. The Company shall deliver to the Holder the same financial information furnished to the Major Investors (as defined in the IRA) as and when such information is provided to the Major Investors pursuant to Section 3.1 of the IRA.
10. Termination; Change in Control Transactions.
10.1 Expiration of the Exercise Period. This Warrant and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder (other than the rights of the Holder pursuant to Section 8) shall terminate upon the expiration of the Exercise Period.
10.2 Treatment of Warrant in Change in Control Transaction, IPO, Direct Listing or SPAC Transaction.
(a) Prior to the consummation of a Change in Control Transaction, the Company shall provide to the Holder ten (10) Business Days advance written notice (the “Change in Control Notice”). The Company may elect to terminate this Warrant upon the consummation of a Change in Control Transaction by providing notice of such intent to the Holder in the Change in Control Notice. If the Company does not elect to terminate this Warrant pursuant to the immediately foregoing sentence, the Holder may elect to terminate this Warrant by providing the Company with notice of such intent within three (3) Business Days following the date of the Change in Control Notice. If this Warrant is terminated by the Company or the Holder pursuant to the second or third sentence of this Section 10.2(a), then any Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control Transaction shall be deemed automatically exercised and converted into Exercise Shares without any action required on the part of the Holder or the Company and the Holder shall be entitled to receive, with respect to such Exercise Shares and after deducting the applicable Purchaser Price therefor or effecting net exercise pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof (at the sole discretion of the Holder), the same type and per share amount of consideration as other holders of shares of common stock of the Company would receive upon the consummation of such Change in Control Transaction. If neither of the Company or the Holder elects such exercise, upon the closing of such Change in Control Transaction, the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume this Warrant and the obligations of the Company hereunder, and this Warrant shall, from and after such closing, be exercisable for the same class, number and kind of securities, cash and other property as would have been paid for or in respect of the Exercise Shares issuable (as of immediately prior to such closing) upon exercise in full hereof as if such Exercise Shares had been issued and outstanding on and as of such closing, at an aggregate Exercise Price equal to the aggregate Exercise Price in effect as of immediately prior to such closing; and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.
(b) If any direct or indirect parent company or subsidiary of the Company effects an IPO or a direct listing where following such direct listing such Person has any class of equity securities listed on a nationally recognized stock exchange in the United States or foreign stock exchange of similar class, or enters into a transaction or series of related transactions (whether by merger, consolidation, reorganization, business combination or otherwise) among such Person, a “blank check” entity using proceeds raised pursuant to an initial public offering or other special purpose acquisition company (a “SPAC”) and one or more other parties (if any)
14
pursuant to which the business of the Company becomes part of an entity which is listed on a nationally recognized stock exchange in the United States or foreign stock exchange of similar class, Holder shall have the same rights and obligations as other holders of shares of common stock of the Company.
11. Miscellaneous
11.1 Transfer of Warrant.
(a) Subject to the other terms and conditions hereof (including Section 5.6 and Section 11.1(b)), this Warrant and all rights hereunder may be Transferred by the Holder only upon the prior written consent of the Company. Any permitted transferee shall also become a party to the Voting Agreement by and executing and delivering the Adoption Agreement to the Company.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Voting Agreement, the Holder may Transfer all or a portion of its Exercise Shares (the “ROFO Shares”) to a third-party purchaser without the consent of the Board following February 22. 2029 by first providing the Company a written notice (“ROFO Transfer Notice”) indicating its intention to sell and the price at which it is willing to make such sale. The Company may elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of such ROFO Shares at the price stipulated in the ROFO Transfer Notice by giving written notice (a “ROFO Exercise Notice”) to the Holder within thirty (30) days after the ROFO Transfer Notice was given and executing definitive, binding documentation in respect of such purchase (in customary form, on terms reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Holder, which shall not include any financing conditionality, any representations or warranties of the Holder other than customary fundamental representations and representations, including but not limited to title to the Exercise Shares, transfer for own account, and transfer in compliance with securities laws (and for the avoidance of doubt excluding any representations regarding the Company, its business, its operations or its condition or performance (financial or otherwise), any restrictive covenants or any indemnification obligations binding on the Holder other than for beach of the representations and warranties provided by the Holder) at any time within forty-five (45) days after the ROFO Transfer Notice was given. If the Company does not timely give a ROFO Exercise Notice, then the Holder may sell such ROFO Shares at the price set forth in the ROFO Notice or any higher price to any third-party purchaser within One Hundred Eighty (180) days of the date of the ROFO Transfer Notice (after which point the Holder will again be subject to the obligations of this Section 11.1(b) in respect of such Exercise Shares); provided that (i) such sale shall be in compliance with all applicable securities laws, (ii) in no event shall such third-party purchaser be a competitor of the Company (as determined in good faith by the Board) or a material customer, distributor or supplier of the Company if the Board reasonably and good faith determines that such Transfer to such customer, distributor or supplier would result in such customer, distributor or supplier receiving information that would place the Company at a material competitive disadvantage with respect to such customer, distributor or supplier; provided that, in connection with any ROFO Transfer Notice the Holder shall have the right to request from the Company, and the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) provide, a list of all such competitors,
15
customers, distributors and suppliers (prepared in good faith by the Company as determined in good faith by the Board) and a sale to any person or entity not on such list shall not be deemed to be in breach of this clause (ii), and (iii) without the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, condition or delayed), following such Transfer to such third-party purchaser, such third-party purchaser, together with its Affiliates, shall hold at least 20% of all equity securities of the Company held by the Holder immediately prior to such Transfer.
11.2 Notice, Etc.. All notices or other communications required or permitted under this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be (a) delivered personally, (b) sent by e-mail (without indication of delivery failure), or (c) sent by registered or certified mail or by overnight courier service, in each case, to the addresses set forth below (or to such other address as a party may provide to the other in compliance with this Section 11.2).
