Re: Side Letter Agreement
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter agreement (the “Agreement”) is to confirm that in connection with the closing of the Series A-3 preferred stock financing of the Company on or about the date hereof and for other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby makes the following covenants to each Stockholder:
1. Trigger Date for Win State Payment. Subject to Section 3 below, if the Share Price on any Trigger Date during the Win State Payment Period is equal to or greater than any Share Price Trigger then the Company shall notify the Stockholders within twenty (20) business days of the occurrence of such Trigger Date. If the Share Price on such Trigger Date is equal to or greater than any of the values of the Share Price Trigger values, the Company shall be obligated to pay the applicable Win State Payment to the Stockholders.
2. Payment of Win State Payment. Any Win State Payment due hereunder shall be payable on the Win State Payment Date with respect to such Win State Payment, in cash or cash equivalents or, in the sole discretion of the Company’s (or any successor thereto), in publicly tradable shares of common stock of the Company (or such successor). All payments due to the Stockholders hereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis to each Stockholder based on the number of shares of capital stock (on an as-converted basis) of the Company set forth opposite the name of each such Stockholder on Schedule A hereto.
3. Limitations. A Win State Payment shall only become due and payable if the Company’s programs are under active development or being actively marketed at the time such Win State Payment is due.
4. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:
(a) “Affiliate” means, with respect to any entity, another entity that either directly or indirectly, through one (1) or more intermediaries, Controls, is Controlled by or is under common Control with, such entity.

(e) “Share Price Trigger” means the Share Price values set forth on Schedule B.

(g) “Trigger Date” is any one of the following dates that occur during the Win State Payment Period: (i) any date after the 90th day after the date on which the Company or any successor thereto completes an Initial Public Offering, or its shares of common stock otherwise become publicly traded on the Nasdaq or New York Stock Exchange (the “Trading Price Trigger Date”); (ii) the date on which the Company or a successor sells, leases, transfers or exclusively licenses all or substantially all of its assets to another company (an “Asset Sale”); and (iii) the date on which the Company merges or consolidates with or into another entity (other than a merger in which the pre-merger stockholders of the Company own a majority of the shares of the surviving entity) (a “Merger” and with an Asset Sale, a “Company Sale,” and each of the Trigger Dates triggered thereby, a “Company Sale Trigger Date”).
(h) “VWAP” means, with respect to any particular trading day, the daily volume-weighted average trading price per share of the common stock of the Company for such day on the principal trading market for such common stock, as reported by Bloomberg US L.P.
