Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 25, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), Personalis, Inc. (the “Company”) and Tempus Labs, Inc. (“Tempus”) entered into a Commercialization and Reference Laboratory Agreement (the “Tempus Agreement”) pursuant to which Tempus will market the Company’s NeXT Personal® Dx assay (the “Assay”) in the United States and the Company will conduct development activities to validate the Assay in breast cancer, lung cancer and immuno-oncology monitoring indications (the “Indications”). The term of the Tempus Agreement is five years from the Effective Date, which may be extended for successive one-year renewal terms upon the parties’ mutual agreement (the “Term”).

Tempus will use commercially reasonable efforts to market and promote the Assay in the same or substantially same manner that it markets and promotes its own tests. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to validate the Assay in the Indications and to generate evidence to seek reimbursement from payors in each such Indication. The Company will perform tests using the Assay ordered by customers through Tempus and will bill such customers or payors for the performance of such tests. The Company granted to Tempus a license to certain intellectual property of the Company necessary for Tempus to perform the Assay, which license is exercisable by Tempus upon certain failures by the Company to perform tests using the Assay ordered under the Tempus Agreement, subject to certain limitations.

In consideration of the Company performing such development activities, Tempus will pay to the Company fees of up to $12,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Market Development Fee”), consisting of an activation fee of $3,000,000 (the “Activation Fee”), a first milestone fee of $3,000,000 (upon achievement of a specified clinical validation milestone), and a second milestone fee payable in six quarterly installments totaling $6,000,000 (subject to the Company achieving certain specified additional clinical validation milestones (collectively, the “Second Milestone”)). If the Company does not achieve the Second Milestone by a specified date, Tempus may withhold such installment payments until the Company achieves such Second Milestone, and Tempus will have the right to terminate the Tempus Agreement or convert it to a non-exclusive arrangement; upon any such termination or conversion, the Company will refund to Tempus any Market Development Fee other than the Activation Fee paid to Tempus as of the date of such termination or conversion, subject to certain reductions. If the Company is unable to offer the Assay for use in any Indication in accordance with a schedule set forth in the Tempus Agreement, the Company will refund to Tempus any Market Development Fee other than the Activation Fee paid to Tempus as of the date of such failure to meet such schedule and subject to certain reductions.

From the Effective Date through a specified period for each Indication, the Company will not allow any third party (other than an acquiror of the Company or any affiliates of such acquiror) to market the Assay in such Indication and Tempus will not market another tumor-informed molecular residual disease assay indicated for use in such Indication (whether its own or that of a third party), in each case subject to certain exceptions. Such exclusivity obligations terminate on December 31, 2027 to the extent they do not expire earlier. In addition, each party has the right to convert the Tempus Agreement to a non-exclusive arrangement upon the occurrence of certain specified events.

The Company will compensate Tempus for the fair market value of order requisition and results delivery services rendered with respect to tests using the Assay ordered under the Tempus Agreement on a per-test basis. In addition, the parties will perform certain co-promotion activities with respect to Personalis’ reference laboratory services and Personalis will compensate Tempus for the fair market value of promotional and commercialization services provided by Tempus in connection therewith in an amount up to $9,600,000.

The Tempus Agreement also grants Tempus access to certain initial and longitudinal genomic data derived from performance of the Assay and Tempus will have the right to use such data in accordance with applicable laws. If Tempus or its affiliate licenses such data to a third party and Tempus recognizes revenue from such license, Tempus will pay to the Company a percentage of its gross revenue received that is attributable to such license in the range of 10 to 20 percent. Such revenue share shall be payable during the Term and for 10 years thereafter.

Additionally, in consideration of Tempus’ obligations to the Company under the Tempus Agreement, on November 28, 2023, the Company issued to Tempus (1) a warrant to purchase up to 4,609,400 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at an exercise price per share of $1.50, with an expiration date of December 31, 2024 (the “First Warrant”), and (2) a warrant to purchase up to 4,609,400 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per share of $2.50, with an expiration date of December 31, 2025 (the “Second Warrant” and, together with the First Warrant, the “Warrants”). The Warrants are exercisable for cash at any time prior to the applicable expiration date, may be net exercised in certain circumstances, and will be automatically net exercised in connection with a change of control of the Company if the value ascribed to the consideration to be paid for one share of Common Stock in such change of control is greater than the applicable exercise price. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the exercise prices of the Warrants are subject to adjustment by reason of stock dividends, splits, recapitalizations, reclassifications and the like. If Tempus acquires any shares of Common Stock directly from the Company other than by exercising the Warrants (any such shares, “Non-Warrant Shares”), then the total number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be reduced by the Non-Warrant Shares on a share-for-share basis, proportionally between the First Warrant and the Second Warrant based on how many shares are then underlying the Warrants. The Company agreed to register the resale of the shares underlying the Warrants by filing a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within 30 calendar days of the issuance date of the Warrants.

Under the Tempus Agreement, Tempus agreed to certain customary standstill restrictions that apply (a) whenever Tempus (together with its affiliates) owns at least 9,218,800 shares of Common Stock until the parties’ exclusivity obligations expire or terminate under the Tempus Agreement and (b) from the Effective Date through the first anniversary of the Effective Date, to the extent the parties’ exclusivity obligations expire or terminate under the Tempus Agreement and Tempus (together with its affiliates) owns at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. These standstill restrictions are subject to suspension in certain cases set forth in the

 


 

Tempus Agreement. In addition, the Company has agreed to notify Tempus in certain circumstances if the Company is pursuing a change of control transaction for the Company.

With respect to any shares it acquires from exercising the Warrants, Tempus also agreed to certain voting commitments under the Tempus Agreement. These voting commitments require Tempus to vote any shares it acquires from exercising the Warrants in accordance with the recommendations of the majority of the Company’s board of directors, and generally apply to director nominations for any meeting of the Company’s stockholders occurring on or before December 31, 2025, various compensation-related matters, and ratification of auditors. These voting commitments terminate on the later of (i) when the parties’ exclusivity obligations expire or terminate under the Tempus Agreement and (ii) the first anniversary of the Effective Date.

Either party may terminate the Tempus Agreement upon the other party’s material breach or insolvency, if the other party assigns the agreement to a competitor of the terminating party, if there are certain materially adverse changes to certain of the other party’s licenses, permits or certifications or if the other party or its personnel have any materially adverse personal or professional conflicts of interest, subject to certain notice periods. After the first anniversary of the Effective Date, either party may terminate the Tempus Agreement for convenience upon 18 months’ prior written notice. Tempus may terminate the agreement if the Company does not achieve the Second Milestone by a specified date.

The foregoing summary of the Tempus Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Tempus Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The foregoing summary of the Warrants is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of (i) the First Warrant, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 4.1, which is incorporated herein by reference, and (ii) the Second Warrant, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 4.2, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information related to the issuance of the Warrants contained in Item 1.01 of this report is incorporated herein by reference. The issuance of the Warrants was, and the issuance of the shares underlying the Warrants upon exercise thereof will be, exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Tempus represented to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act and that the Warrants are being acquired for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends will be affixed to any certificates for the shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants.

Forward-Looking Statements.

These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding activities, milestones and potential benefits under or from the Tempus Agreement. Such forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, risks and uncertainties related to commercial success under the Tempus Agreement, the Company’s ability to obtain reimbursement and in adequate amounts, the ability to achieve the milestones under the Tempus Agreement, and third-party performance. For a further description of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, as well as risks relating to the business of the Company in general, see the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 7, 2023, and any subsequent current and periodic reports filed with the SEC.

PERSONALIS, INC.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

November 28, 2023

 

This certifies that, for value received, Tempus Labs, Inc., with a principal office at the address set forth on the signature page hereto, or such person’s or entity’s permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from Personalis, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to 4,609,400 shares of Common Stock (“Exercise Shares”) at the Exercise Price (each subject to adjustment as provided herein); provided, however, that the total aggregate number of shares issuable under this Warrant (subject to adjustment as provided herein) and the Second Warrant (as defined in the Commercialization Agreement (as defined below)) shall be reduced on a share-for-share basis by any other shares of Common Stock that the Holder acquires directly from the Company (excluding any shares acquired pursuant to exercise of this Warrant or the Second Warrant) and such reduction of shares shall be pro rata between this Warrant and the Second Warrant (rounded for each to the nearest whole share) based on the number of shares then underlying each warrant. For example, if the Holder acquires 1,000,000 shares directly from the Company and immediately prior to such acquisition there are 2,000,000 remaining Exercise Shares available for issuance pursuant to a cash exercise of this Warrant and there are 4,609,400 remaining shares available for issuance upon cash exercise of the Second Warrant, then the number of Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant would be reduced by 302,599 shares and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Second Warrant would be reduced by 697,401 shares.

Exercise. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period (unless prohibited by Section 1.e of the Commercialization Agreement), by

2

 


 

delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth on the signature page hereto (or at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder):
(a)
An original executed copy, or a duly executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment), of the Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (“Notice of Exercise”); and
(b)
Payment of the Exercise Price (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if permitted by Section 2.2 below and so indicated in the Notice of Exercise) either by check or wire transfer to an account designated by the Company.

The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Exercise Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Exercise Shares hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Exercise Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Exercise Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, (i) by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Exercise Shares hereunder, and (ii) by reason of the provisions of the introductory paragraph of this Warrant, the number of Exercise Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

2.2
Cashless Exercise. If, and only if, at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Exercise Shares to the Holder (provided, however, the unavailability of the prospectus will not apply to any (i) proposed distribution by the Holder that is not covered by the “Plan of Distribution” section of the prospectus included in the Registration Statement (as defined in Section 3.12) or any supplement thereto or (ii) any suspension of the Registration Statement by the Company pursuant to Section 3.12(b), the basis for which is a circumstance or event caused wholly or in significant part by Holder or any of its Affiliates), then this Warrant may, at Holder’s election, be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” (provided, however, no such cashless exercise will be permitted prior to the 11th Business Day after the SEC notifies the Company (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) that it will not review, or has completed its review of, the Registration Statement, provided the Company has filed the Registration Statement with the SEC within 30 days after the date hereof and uses its commercially reasonable efforts to address any comments by the SEC related to the Registration Statement), in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Exercise Shares in an exchange of securities effected pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, determined as follows:

X = Y [(A-B)/A]

where:

X” equals the number of Exercise Shares to be issued to the Holder;

“Y” equals the total number of Exercise Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised;

3

 


 

“A” equals the closing price of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market) as of the Trading Day on the date immediately preceding the Date of Exercise; and

“B” equals the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Exercise Shares at the time of such exercise.

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Exercise Shares issued in a “cashless exercise” transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Exercise Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued (provided that the SEC continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of such exercise).

If Exercise Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the Company acknowledges and agrees that, in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Exercise Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrants being exercised may be tacked on to the holding period of the Exercise Shares (provided that the SEC continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of such exercise).

2.3
Automatic Net Exercise Upon Change of Control. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, solely in connection with the closing of a Change of Control prior to the end of the Exercise Period, if the fair market value of one Exercise Share (computed as set forth below in this Section 2.3) is greater than the Exercise Price, this Warrant will be automatically net exercised immediately prior to the closing of the Change of Control and converted into the right to receive the number of Exercise Shares computed using the following formula:

X = Y (A-B)

A

Where X = the number of Exercise Shares to be issued to the Holder

Y = the remaining number of Exercise Shares purchasable under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation)

A = the fair market value of one Exercise Share (at the date of such calculation)

B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

For purposes of the above calculation, the fair market value of one Exercise Share shall be the value ascribed to the consideration to be paid in respect of one share of the Exercise Shares in the definitive agreement(s) relating to such Change of Control, or if no such value is set forth in the definitive agreements(s) relating to such Change of Control, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

2.4
Delivery of Exercise Shares Upon Exercise. Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise to the Company and upon payment of the Exercise Price (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if permitted by Section 2.2 above and so indicated in the Notice of Exercise) for the Exercise Shares being purchased, the Company shall promptly issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate or evidence of book-entry position with the Transfer Agent (“book-entry position”), as determined by Holder, for the Exercise Shares issuable upon such exercise, such delivery to be made promptly, but in any case within two Trading Days after the Date of Exercise (as defined below). As used herein, a “Date of

4

 


 

Exercise” means the date on which the Holder has delivered to the Company (i) the Notice of Exercise, appropriately completed and duly signed and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the Exercise Shares being purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Exercise Shares being purchased have been sold or otherwise transferred by Holder (1) pursuant to a registration statement, Rule 144, or another exemption from the registration requirements, and (2) in compliance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Commercialization Agreement, and subject to the Holder's delivery to the Company and/or the Transfer Agent of appropriate representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and/or the Transfer Agent (“Transfer Documents”), the Holder may direct the Company by written notice to have the Exercise Shares credited to the account of Holder’s prime broker with the DTC System as directed by the Holder. Such Exercise Shares shall be delivered to Holder within two Trading Days following the later of (i) the Date of Exercise and (ii) the date the Transfer Documents have been delivered by Holder to the Company and/or the Transfer Agent. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its Transfer Agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.
2.5
Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with (i) the Holder’s Affiliates, (ii) any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates and (iii) any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the Holder’s for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2.5, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2.5 applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.5, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives an Notice of Exercise from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of

5

 


 

shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Notice of Exercise would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 2.5, to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Exercise Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Notice of Exercise (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any Exercise Price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 19.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2.5, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 19.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Exercise Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2.5 shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2.5 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

(b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may, upon written notice to Holder, suspend the use of any Registration Statement, including any prospectus that forms a part of a Registration Statement, if the Company (a) determines that it would be required to make disclosure of material information in the Registration Statement that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, (b) the Company determines it must amend or supplement the Registration Statement or the related prospectus so that such Registration Statement or prospectus shall 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, in the case of the prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (c) has experienced or is experiencing some other material nonpublic event, including a pending transaction involving the Company, the disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith judgment of the Company, would adversely affect the Company; provided, however, that in no event shall Holder be suspended from selling Exercise Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement for a period that exceeds 30 consecutive Trading Days or 60 total Trading Days in any 365-day period. Upon disclosure of such information or the termination of the condition described above, the Company shall provide prompt notice to Holder, and shall promptly terminate any suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall take such other reasonable actions to permit registered sales of Exercise Shares as contemplated hereby.
(c)
The Company shall: (A) advise the Holder by email to legal@tempus.com (1) as promptly as practicable after a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective other than, in each case, the filing or effectiveness of any amendment or deemed amendment that is made through the filing of any incorporated document; (2) as promptly as practicable of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information with respect thereto other than, in each case, for any such request or such additional information that relates to documents incorporated in any Registration Statement or prospectus; (3) within two Trading Days after the date of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (4) within two Trading Days after the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the shares of Common Stock included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (5) within four Business Days after the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus or the documents incorporated therein so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided that the Company will not have any obligation to advise the Holder pursuant to this clause (c)(A)(5) to the extent that the information is filed with the SEC within such four Business Days; and provided further that the Company shall not, when so advising the Holder of such events pursuant to this clause (c)(A)(5), be required to provide the Holder with any material, non-public information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to the Holder of the occurrence of the events listed in this clause (c)(A)(5) may constitute material, nonpublic information regarding the Company, and (B) with a view to making available

8

 


 

to the Holder the benefits of Rule 144 that may, at such times as Rule 144 is available to the Holder, permit the Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees to, for so long as the Holder owns any Exercise Shares or this Warrant remains outstanding, use commercially reasonable efforts to: (1) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, if necessary to permit Holder to sell Exercise Shares pursuant to Rule 144 and (2) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144.
(d)
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, Holder, its directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents, and each person who controls Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of Holder (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (“Losses”) that arise out of, are based on or are caused by (A) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (B) subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Holder in Section 4 below and compliance by Holder with applicable federal and state securities laws with respect to this Warrant and the Exercise Shares, any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with registration of any Warrants or Exercise Shares thereunder, except to the extent, but only to the extent, such Losses are based solely upon information regarding Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Holder expressly for use therein or and was reviewed and approved in writing by Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement.
(e)
Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any Losses that arise out of, are based on or are caused by (A) any breach or violation of any representations and warranties of Holder in Section 4 below, or any failure by Holder to comply with applicable federal and state securities laws with respect to the issuance or transfer of any Warrants or Exercise Shares, (B) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is based on information regarding Holder furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Holder expressly for use therein, and (C) the use by Holder of a prospectus during an allowed suspension after the Company has notified Holder in writing of such suspension. In no event shall the aggregate liability of Holder under this clause (v) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Holder upon the sale of the Exercise Shares issued pursuant to this Warrant giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
3.13
Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of the class and/or series of equity securities constituting the Exercise Shares for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, the Company shall give to the Holder, at least five days prior to the Record Date (as defined below), a notice specifying the date on which

9

 


 

any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution (such date, the “Record Date”).
4.
Representations of Holder. The Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company as of the date hereof as follows:
4.1
Acquisition for Own Account. The Holder is acquiring the Securities solely for the Holder’s own account and beneficial interest for investment and not for sale or with a view to distribution of the Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act, and has no present intention of selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act without prejudice, however, to the Holder’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.
4.2
Information and Sophistication. The Holder has been furnished with all relevant materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company necessary to make an investment decision, and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities, that have been requested by the Holder, including, without limitation, the SEC Filings, and the Holder has had the opportunity to review the SEC Filings. The Holder has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. The Holder specifically understands and acknowledges that, on the date of this Warrant, the Company may have in its possession non-public information that could be material to the market price of the Common Stock. The Holder hereby represents and warrants that, in accepting this Warrant, it does not require the disclosure of such non-public information to it by the Company in order to make an investment in the Securities. The Holder also specifically acknowledges that the Company would not enter into this Warrant or any related documents in the absence of such Holder’s representations and acknowledgments set out in this Warrant, and that this Warrant, including such representations and acknowledgments, are a fundamental inducement to the Company, and a substantial portion of the consideration provided by such Holder, in this transaction, and that the Company would not enter into this transaction but for this inducement.
4.3
Ability to Bear Economic Risk. The Holder acknowledges that investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk, and represents that the Holder is able, without materially impairing the Holder’s financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of the Holder’s investment.
4.4
Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities (other than exercise of the Warrant) unless and until:
(a)
There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or
(b)
The Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws; provided that no such opinion shall be required for dispositions in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by the Holder to any Affiliate of the Holder, or a partner (or retired partner) or member (or retired member) of the Holder in accordance with partnership or limited liability company interests, or transfers by gift, will or intestate succession to any spouse or lineal

10

 


 

descendants or ancestors, if all transferees agree in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if the applicable party were the Holder hereunder.

4.5
Accredited Investor Status. The Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
4.6
Foreign Holder. If the Holder is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), the Holder hereby represents that the Holder it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of the Holder’s jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Warrant, including (a) the legal requirements within the Holder’s jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (c) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities. The Holder’s subscription, payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Holder’s jurisdiction.
4.7
Forward-Looking Statements. With respect to any forecasts, projections of results and other forward-looking statements and information provided to the Holder, the Holder acknowledges that such statements were prepared based upon assumptions deemed reasonable by the Company at the time of preparation. There is no assurance that such statements will prove accurate, and the Company has no obligation to update such statements.
5.
Restrictive Legends. The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing the Exercise Shares may bear the following legend:

(a) “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES IN THE UNITED STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SHARES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

(b) “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AS SET FORTH IN THAT CERTAIN COMMERCIALIZATION AND REFERENCE LABORATORY AGREEMENT, BY AND BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND TEMPUS LABS, INC., DATED AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE (AS DEFINED THEREIN), AS MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.”

In connection with any sale or other transfer of Exercise Shares that complies with all applicable securities laws and the transfer restrictions in the Commercialization Agreement, and subject to the Company’s and/or the Transfer Agent’s receipt from the Holder of the Transfer Documents, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days of any request therefor from the Holder that is accompanied by the Transfer Documents, (A) deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry position Exercise Shares, and (B) cause its counsel to deliver to the Transfer Agent one or more opinions to the effect that the removal of such legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act and the terms of the Commercialization Agreement if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend in accordance with the provisions

11

 


 

hereof. Any Exercise Shares subject to legend removal under this paragraph may be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the DTC System as directed by the Holder. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its Transfer Agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.

 

6.
Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Exercise Shares; Fractional Shares.
6.1
Changes in Securities. In the event of changes in the class and/or series of equity securities of the Company comprising the Exercise Shares by reason of stock dividends, splits, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, reorganizations, or other similar transactions, the number and class and/or series of Exercise Shares available under this Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of this Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number and class and/or series of shares as the Holder would have owned had this Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant.
6.2
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) to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall 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 the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of one Exercise Share by such fraction.
7.
No Stockholder Rights; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Exercise Shares on a “cashless” or net-exercise basis pursuant to Section 2.2 and Section 2.3, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
8.
Transfer of Warrant. In addition to any other restrictions on transfer set forth in this Warrant, neither this Warrant nor any interest therein shall be transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company, and any attempted transfer or assignment without such consent shall be void; provided, however, that this Warrant may be transferred without such consent in compliance with applicable laws and the provisions of the Commercialization Agreement, including Section 1.g thereof. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, applicable laws and the restriction on transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant, in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the Holder shall deliver this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B to the Company, and the transferee shall sign an investment representation letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Company.
9.
Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, 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), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this 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.
10.
Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies provided in this Warrant are cumulative and are not exclusive of, and are in addition to and not in substitution for, any other rights or remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise.

12

 


 

11.
Equitable Relief. Each of the Company and the Holder acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under this Warrant would give rise to irreparable harm to the other party hereto for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such party of any such obligations, the other party hereto shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction.
12.
Notices, etc. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by electronic transmission if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next Business Day, (c) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to each of the Company and the Holder at the address listed on their respective signature pages hereto or at such other address as the Company or Holder may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to the other party.
13.
Successor and Assigns. Subject to compliance with the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Warrant, this Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder, and such successors and/or permitted assigns of the Holder shall be deemed to be a Holder for all purposes hereunder.
14.
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Warrant is for the sole benefit of the Company and the Holder and their respective successors and, in the case of the Holder, permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Warrant.
15.
Headings. The headings in this Warrant are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Warrant.
16.
Amendment and Modification; Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Warrant may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and the Holder. No waiver by the Company or the Holder of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Warrant shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
17.
Severability. If any term or provision of this Warrant is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Warrant or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.
18.
Acceptance. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.
19.
Governing Law. This Warrant and all rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware as applied to agreements among

13

 


 

Delaware residents, made and to be performed entirely within the State of Delaware without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles.
20.
Counterparts. This Warrant may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including .pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or other applicable law) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered will be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

This certifies that, for value received, Tempus Labs, Inc., with a principal office at the address set forth on the signature page hereto, or such person’s or entity’s permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase from Personalis, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to 4,609,400 shares of Common Stock (“Exercise Shares”) at the Exercise Price (each subject to adjustment as provided herein); provided, however, that the total aggregate number of shares issuable under this Warrant (subject to adjustment as provided herein) and the First Warrant (as defined in the Commercialization Agreement (as defined below)) shall be reduced on a share-for-share basis by any other shares of Common Stock that the Holder acquires directly from the Company (excluding any shares acquired pursuant to exercise of this Warrant or the First Warrant) and such reduction of shares shall be pro rata between this Warrant and the First Warrant (rounded for each to the nearest whole share) based on the number of shares then underlying each warrant. For example, if the Holder acquires 1,000,000 shares directly from the Company and immediately prior to such acquisition there are 2,000,000 remaining Exercise Shares available for issuance pursuant to a cash exercise of this Warrant and there are 4,609,400 remaining shares available for issuance upon cash exercise of the First Warrant, then the number of Exercise Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant would be reduced by 302,599 shares and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the First Warrant would be reduced by 697,401 shares.

This Warrant is being issued pursuant to Section 1.d of that certain Commercialization and Reference Laboratory Agreement, by and between the Company and Tempus Labs, Inc., dated as of the Effective Date (as defined therein) (the “Commercialization Agreement”), and is the Second Warrant as defined thereunder.

2

 


 

delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth on the signature page hereto (or at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder):
(a)
An original executed copy, or a duly executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment), of the Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (“Notice of Exercise”); and
(b)
Payment of the Exercise Price (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if permitted by Section 2.2 below and so indicated in the Notice of Exercise) either by check or wire transfer to an account designated by the Company.

The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Exercise Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Exercise Shares hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Exercise Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Exercise Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, (i) by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Exercise Shares hereunder, and (ii) by reason of the provisions of the introductory paragraph of this Warrant, the number of Exercise Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

2.2
Cashless Exercise. If, and only if, at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Exercise Shares to the Holder (provided, however, the unavailability of the prospectus will not apply to any (i) proposed distribution by the Holder that is not covered by the “Plan of Distribution” section of the prospectus included in the Registration Statement (as defined in Section 3.12) or any supplement thereto or (ii) any suspension of the Registration Statement by the Company pursuant to Section 3.12(b), the basis for which is a circumstance or event caused wholly or in significant part by Holder or any of its Affiliates), then this Warrant may, at Holder’s election, be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” (provided, however, no such cashless exercise will be permitted prior to the 11th Business Day after the SEC notifies the Company (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) that it will not review, or has completed its review of, the Registration Statement, provided the Company has filed the Registration Statement with the SEC within 30 days after the date hereof and uses its commercially reasonable efforts to address any comments by the SEC related to the Registration Statement), in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Exercise Shares in an exchange of securities effected pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, determined as follows:

X = Y [(A-B)/A]

where:

X” equals the number of Exercise Shares to be issued to the Holder;

“Y” equals the total number of Exercise Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised;

3

 


 

“A” equals the closing price of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market) as of the Trading Day on the date immediately preceding the Date of Exercise; and

“B” equals the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Exercise Shares at the time of such exercise.

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Exercise Shares issued in a “cashless exercise” transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Exercise Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued (provided that the SEC continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of such exercise).

If Exercise Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the Company acknowledges and agrees that, in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Exercise Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrants being exercised may be tacked on to the holding period of the Exercise Shares (provided that the SEC continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of such exercise).

2.3
Automatic Net Exercise Upon Change of Control. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, solely in connection with the closing of a Change of Control prior to the end of the Exercise Period, if the fair market value of one Exercise Share (computed as set forth below in this Section 2.3) is greater than the Exercise Price, this Warrant will be automatically net exercised immediately prior to the closing of the Change of Control and converted into the right to receive the number of Exercise Shares computed using the following formula:

X = Y (A-B)

A

Where X = the number of Exercise Shares to be issued to the Holder

Y = the remaining number of Exercise Shares purchasable under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation)

A = the fair market value of one Exercise Share (at the date of such calculation)

B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

For purposes of the above calculation, the fair market value of one Exercise Share shall be the value ascribed to the consideration to be paid in respect of one share of the Exercise Shares in the definitive agreement(s) relating to such Change of Control, or if no such value is set forth in the definitive agreements(s) relating to such Change of Control, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

2.4
Delivery of Exercise Shares Upon Exercise. Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise to the Company and upon payment of the Exercise Price (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if permitted by Section 2.2 above and so indicated in the Notice of Exercise) for the Exercise Shares being purchased, the Company shall promptly issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate or evidence of book-entry position with the Transfer Agent (“book-entry position”), as determined by Holder, for the Exercise Shares issuable upon such exercise, such delivery to be made promptly, but in any case within two Trading Days after the Date of Exercise (as defined below). As used herein, a “Date of

4

 


 

Exercise” means the date on which the Holder has delivered to the Company (i) the Notice of Exercise, appropriately completed and duly signed and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the Exercise Shares being purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Exercise Shares being purchased have been sold or otherwise transferred by Holder (1) pursuant to a registration statement, Rule 144, or another exemption from the registration requirements, and (2) in compliance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Commercialization Agreement, and subject to the Holder's delivery to the Company and/or the Transfer Agent of appropriate representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and/or the Transfer Agent (“Transfer Documents”), the Holder may direct the Company by written notice to have the Exercise Shares credited to the account of Holder’s prime broker with the DTC System as directed by the Holder. Such Exercise Shares shall be delivered to Holder within two Trading Days following the later of (i) the Date of Exercise and (ii) the date the Transfer Documents have been delivered by Holder to the Company and/or the Transfer Agent. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its Transfer Agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.
2.5
Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with (i) the Holder’s Affiliates, (ii) any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates and (iii) any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the Holder’s for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2.5, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2.5 applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.5, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives an Notice of Exercise from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of

5

 


 

shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Notice of Exercise would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 2.5, to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Exercise Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Notice of Exercise (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any Exercise Price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 19.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2.5, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 19.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Exercise Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2.5 shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2.5 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Representations of Holder. The Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company as of the date hereof as follows:

The Holder has been furnished with all relevant materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company necessary to make an investment decision, and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities, that have been requested by the Holder, including, without limitation, the SEC Filings, and the Holder has had the opportunity to review the SEC Filings. The Holder has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. The Holder specifically understands and acknowledges that, on the date of this Warrant, the Company may have in its possession non-public information that could be material to the market price of the Common Stock. The Holder hereby represents and warrants that, in accepting this Warrant, it does not require the disclosure of such non-public information to it by the Company in order to make an investment in the Securities. The Holder also specifically acknowledges that the Company would not enter into this Warrant or any related documents in the absence of such Holder’s representations and acknowledgments set out in this Warrant, and that this Warrant, including such representations and acknowledgments, are a fundamental inducement to the Company, and a substantial portion of the consideration provided by such Holder, in this transaction, and that the Company would not enter into this transaction but for this inducement.
4.3
Ability to Bear Economic Risk. The Holder acknowledges that investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk, and represents that the Holder is able, without materially impairing the Holder’s financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of the Holder’s investment.
4.4
Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities (other than exercise of the Warrant) unless and until:

There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or
(b)
The Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws; provided that no such opinion shall be required for dispositions in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by the Holder to any Affiliate of the Holder, or a partner (or retired partner) or member (or retired member) of the Holder in accordance with partnership or limited liability company interests, or transfers by gift, will or intestate succession to any spouse or lineal

10

 


 

descendants or ancestors, if all transferees agree in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if the applicable party were the Holder hereunder.

4.5
Accredited Investor Status. The Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
4.6
Foreign Holder. If the Holder is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), the Holder hereby represents that the Holder it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of the Holder’s jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Warrant, including (a) the legal requirements within the Holder’s jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (c) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities.

4.7
Forward-Looking Statements. With respect to any forecasts, projections of results and other forward-looking statements and information provided to the Holder, the Holder acknowledges that such statements were prepared based upon assumptions deemed reasonable by the Company at the time of preparation. There is no assurance that such statements will prove accurate, and the Company has no obligation to update such statements.
5.
Restrictive Legends. The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing the Exercise Shares may bear the following legend:

(a) “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES IN THE UNITED STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SHARES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

(b) “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AS SET FORTH IN THAT CERTAIN COMMERCIALIZATION AND REFERENCE LABORATORY AGREEMENT, BY AND BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND TEMPUS LABS, INC., DATED AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE (AS DEFINED THEREIN), AS MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE THEREWITH.”

In connection with any sale or other transfer of Exercise Shares that complies with all applicable securities laws and the transfer restrictions in the Commercialization Agreement, and subject to the Company’s and/or the Transfer Agent’s receipt from the Holder of the Transfer Documents, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days of any request therefor from the Holder that is accompanied by the Transfer Documents, (A) deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry position Exercise Shares, and (B) cause its counsel to deliver to the Transfer Agent one or more opinions to the effect that the removal of such legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act and the terms of the Commercialization Agreement if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend in accordance with the provisions

11

 


 

hereof. Any Exercise Shares subject to legend removal under this paragraph may be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the DTC System as directed by the Holder. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its Transfer Agent and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.

 

6.
Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Exercise Shares; Fractional Shares.
6.1
Changes in Securities. In the event of changes in the class and/or series of equity securities of the Company comprising the Exercise Shares by reason of stock dividends, splits, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or exchanges of shares, reorganizations, or other similar transactions, the number and class and/or series of Exercise Shares available under this Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of this Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number and class and/or series of shares as the Holder would have owned had this Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares subject to this Warrant.
6.2
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) to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall 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 the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of one Exercise Share by such fraction.
7.
No Stockholder Rights; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Exercise Shares on a “cashless” or net-exercise basis pursuant to Section 2.2 and Section 2.3, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
8.
Transfer of Warrant. In addition to any other restrictions on transfer set forth in this Warrant, neither this Warrant nor any interest therein shall be transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Company, and any attempted transfer or assignment without such consent shall be void; provided, however, that this Warrant may be transferred without such consent in compliance with applicable laws and the provisions of the Commercialization Agreement, including Section 1.g thereof. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, applicable laws and the restriction on transfer set forth on the first page of this Warrant, in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the Holder shall deliver this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B to the Company, and the transferee shall sign an investment representation letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Company.
9.
Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, 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), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this 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.
10.
Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies provided in this Warrant are cumulative and are not exclusive of, and are in addition to and not in substitution for, any other rights or remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise.

12

 


 

11.
Equitable Relief. Each of the Company and the Holder acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under this Warrant would give rise to irreparable harm to the other party hereto for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such party of any such obligations, the other party hereto shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction.
12.
Notices, etc. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by electronic transmission if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next Business Day, (c) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to each of the Company and the Holder at the address listed on their respective signature pages hereto or at such other address as the Company or Holder may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to the other party.
13.
Successor and Assigns. Subject to compliance with the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Warrant, this Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder, and such successors and/or permitted assigns of the Holder shall be deemed to be a Holder for all purposes hereunder.
14.
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Warrant is for the sole benefit of the Company and the Holder and their respective successors and, in the case of the Holder, permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, under or by reason of this Warrant.
15.
Headings. The headings in this Warrant are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Warrant.
16.
Amendment and Modification; Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Warrant may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and the Holder. No waiver by the Company or the Holder of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Warrant shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
17.
Severability. If any term or provision of this Warrant is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Warrant or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.
18.
Acceptance. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.
19.
Governing Law. This Warrant and all rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware as applied to agreements among

13

 


 

Delaware residents, made and to be performed entirely within the State of Delaware without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles.
20.
Counterparts. This Warrant may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including .pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or other applicable law) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered will be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

Standstill Agreement.
i.
Generally. Tempus agrees that, (x) until the date that the Parties’ exclusivity obligations expire or terminate under Section 3 of Exhibit A hereto, whenever Tempus (together with its Affiliates) owns at least 9,218,800 shares of Common Stock (which number is subject to appropriate adjustment for any stock dividends, splits, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or the like) and (y) from the Effective Date until the one year anniversary of the Effective Date, whenever the exclusivity obligations contemplated herein expire or terminate and Tempus (together with its Affiliates) owns at least 5 percent of the outstanding Common Stock of Personalis (each such period, the “Standstill Period”), without Personalis’ prior written consent, Tempus and its Affiliates shall not in any manner, directly or indirectly: (1) effect, seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, participate in or facilitate or encourage any other person to effect, seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in, (a) any acquisition of, or obtaining any economic interest in, any securities (including through exercise of the First Warrant and/or the Second Warrant) or beneficial ownership thereof (directly or by means of any derivative securities), or rights or options to acquire, or obtain economic interest in, any securities or beneficial ownership thereof (directly or by means of any derivative securities), or any assets, indebtedness or businesses of Personalis (other than acquisitions or licenses of assets in the ordinary course of business), (b) any tender

3


 

offer or exchange offer, merger or other business combination involving Personalis or any of its assets, (c) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with respect to Personalis, or (d) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), and Rule 14a‑1 promulgated thereunder) or consents to vote any securities of Personalis, including soliciting consents or taking any other action with respect to the calling of a special meeting of Personalis’ stockholders; (2) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined under the 1934 Act) with respect to Personalis; (3) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek representation on or to control the board of directors or policies of Personalis or to obtain representation on the board of directors of Personalis; (4) disclose or direct any person to disclose, any intention, plan or arrangement inconsistent with the foregoing; (5) take any action that could reasonably be expected to result in a request by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a governmental body to disclose, or could cause or require either Party to disclose or make a public announcement regarding, any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or all or any part of the information contained in the Confidential Information or any matter of the types set forth in this paragraph; (6) advise, assist or knowingly encourage or direct any person to advise, assist or encourage any other persons in connection with any of the foregoing; or (7) request of Personalis or any of its Representatives, directly or indirectly, that Personalis amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); provided that, nothing in the foregoing shall restrict Tempus from (x) confidentially communicating to Personalis’ board of directors, chief executive officer or chief financial officer any non‑public proposals regarding potential transactions in such a manner as would not reasonably be expected to require public disclosure thereof under any law applicable to Personalis or its Representatives or to Tempus or its Representatives; provided that any such communication shall first be privately directed to Personalis’ chief executive officer and chief financial officer or (y) engaging in discussions with third party financing sources with respect to financing a transaction involving Personalis; provided that no Confidential Information of Personalis may be made available to such financing sources without Personalis’ prior written consent.
ii.
Suspension and Reinstatement of Standstill Agreement. Despite the foregoing, each of the restrictions contained in the immediately preceding paragraph shall lapse at such time as (x) Personalis (1) commences a process to evaluate entering into a definitive agreement with any third party with respect to a merger, sale of assets or securities (including a tender offer or exchange offer) or other business combination as a result of which such third party would succeed to or acquire all or substantially all of the voting securities or assets of Personalis (a “Change of Control Transaction”), (2) exchanges bona fide term sheets, engages in bona fide negotiations, or undertakes such other activities with such third parties where Personalis exchanges confidential information with such third parties, and (3) any one of such third parties with whom Personalis is so exchanging or engaging is not subject to a standstill agreement with limitations similar to those set forth in the preceding paragraph (for clarity, such limitations may be included in another agreement, such as a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement); or (y) if a third party launches a tender offer, exchange offer, or any other publicly announced unsolicited offer with respect to a Change of Control Transaction; provided that in the event of either (x) or (y) such lapsed restrictions shall automatically be reinstated from and after such time, if any, that Personalis notifies Tempus (email being sufficient) or (if such process was publicly announced) publicly announces that such evaluation process to enter into a definitive agreement with such third party has been terminated, or such third party announces that it no longer intends to pursue or is otherwise withdrawing such tender offer or exchange offer with respect to a Change of Control Transaction, as applicable.
iii.
Notification Requirements. Without limiting the foregoing in this Section 1.e, in the event that during the Standstill Period Personalis intends to solicit proposals or indications of interest from third parties for a Change of Control Transaction and Personalis actually

4


 

commences such solicitation, or Personalis exchanges bona fide term sheets, or engages in bona fide negotiations, or undertakes such other activities with such third parties for a Change of Control Transaction that involve the exchange of any confidential information, whether or not publicly announced, Personalis will notify Tempus thereof (email being sufficient) within seven (7) days of actually commencing such solicitation or Personalis exchanging such term sheets or engaging in such bona fide negotiations or exchanging such confidential information, including whether each such third party has entered into a standstill agreement as contemplated by subparagraph (ii) above; provided that in no event shall Personalis be required to notify Tempus on more than one occasion under this sentence.
iv.
Tempus Representations. Tempus acknowledges that, as of the time of the execution of this Agreement, neither it nor its Affiliates beneficially own, directly or indirectly, any debt or equity securities of Personalis or any rights or options to acquire any such securities (or beneficial ownership thereof).
f.
Voting of Shares. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the later of (x) the date that the Parties’ exclusivity obligations expire or terminate under Section 3 of Exhibit A hereto and (y) the one year anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Voting Agreement Duration”), in any vote or action by written consent of the stockholders of Personalis regarding Specified Voting Matters (as defined below), solely with respect to voting securities of Personalis obtained pursuant to the Warrants described in this Agreement (the “Voting Securities”), Tempus shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) with respect to all Voting Securities as to which it is entitled to vote in accordance with the recommendations of the majority of Personalis’ board of directors, if any. During the Voting Agreement Duration, Tempus shall be, and shall cause each of its controlled Affiliates to be, present in person or represented by proxy at all meetings of stockholders of Personalis to the extent necessary so that all Voting Securities as to which they are entitled to vote shall be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum at such meeting. Solely in the event of a failure by Tempus to act in accordance with Tempus’s obligations as to voting or executing a written consent pursuant to this Section 1.f, Tempus hereby irrevocably grants to and appoints Personalis’ chief executive officer, in his/her capacity as an officer of Personalis, Tempus’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of Tempus, to represent, vote and otherwise act (by voting at any meeting of stockholders of Personalis, by written consent in lieu thereof or otherwise) with respect to the Voting Securities owned or held by Tempus during the Voting Agreement Duration, to the same extent and with the same effect as Tempus might or could do under applicable law, rules and regulations. The proxy granted pursuant to this Section 1.f is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. Tempus will take such further action and will execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy (including at the time that Tempus exercises the First Warrant and/or the Second Warrant).Tempus hereby revokes any and all previous proxies or powers of attorney granted with respect to any voting securities of Personalis that may have heretofore been appointed or granted with respect to the Specified Voting Matters referred to in this Section 1.f, and no subsequent proxy (whether revocable and irrevocable) or power of attorney with respect to the Specified Voting Matters shall be given by Tempus or its Affiliates. Similarly, Tempus agrees that it will not enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the voting of any Voting Securities and will not deposit any Voting Securities into a voting trust. Tempus agrees that any Voting Securities issued to Tempus during the Voting Agreement Duration shall contain an appropriate legend related to this Section 1.f. This proxy will survive until expiration of the Voting Agreement Duration, and shall not be subject to any other limitation of time (and for the avoidance of doubt this proxy shall remain effective beyond three years from the Effective Date to the extent the Voting Agreement Duration has not yet expired as of the three year anniversary of the Effective Date). This proxy shall not terminate by operation of law, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, death or incapacity of Tempus and shall be binding on all heirs, successors and assigns of Tempus. The power of attorney granted herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, death or incapacity of Tempus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon expiration of the Voting Agreement

Exhibit A
Market Development Services

Background

In order to accelerate Personalis’ analytical and clinical validation, and reimbursement activities for the Personalis Assay, the Parties will engage in the market development Services set forth in this Exhibit.

Agreement

1.
Validation & Reimbursement Activities.
a.
Personalis will use commercially reasonable efforts to analytically validate the Personalis Assay, [***] for use in breast, lung, and immuno-oncology monitoring (each an “Indication”) pursuant to the Validation Timeline and Schedule set forth herein.
b.
[***]
c.
As part of the clinical and analytical validation of the Personalis Assay described herein, Personalis will use commercially reasonable efforts to generate all evidence needed to seek and obtain reimbursement from Third Party Payors for performance of the Personalis Assay for each Indication.
d.
[***]
e.
The “Validation Timeline and Schedule” shall be as follows: Personalis will use commercially reasonable efforts to [***] (the “Commercial Launch Deadline”), such that the Personalis Assay for use in each Indication is available for commercial distribution by Tempus on or before the Commercial Launch Deadline. [***]
f.
As required by New York State Public Health Law and associated regulations, Personalis will (i) hold a New York State clinical laboratory permit to perform laboratory procedures for Specimens obtained within New York State to be tested by Personalis under this Agreement and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary New York State approval(s) for use of the Personalis Assay in an Indication to perform a Test on Specimens originating from New York State within [***] after (a) for the Lung Indication, the Lung Launch Date and (b) for each of the Breast and Immuno-Oncology Indications, the Commercial Launch Date for such Indication.
2.
Market Development Fees.
a.
For purposes of this Section, the “Commercial Launch Date” (i) shall mean [***] for the Lung Indication, and (ii) for each of the Breast and Immuno-Oncology Indications shall mean [***]. The date on which the Commercial Launch Date has been satisfied for all three Indications shall be the “Commercial Launch Completion Date.”
b.
In exchange for Personalis’ Services described in Section 1 to accelerate analytical and clinical validation of the Personalis Assay in each Indication, Tempus will pay Personalis a “Market Development Fee” as follows:
i.
$3,000,000 within [***] of the Effective Date (the “Activation Fee”)
ii.
$3,000,000 for the Commercial Launch Date of the Personalis Assay in the first Indication (Lung) (“Milestone Payment 1”) (for clarity, Milestone Payment 1 will be made within [***] of the Effective Date, as the Commercial Launch Date of the Lung Indication occurred prior to the Effective Date on [***]); and

17


 

iii.
$6,000,000 payable in six (6) equal consecutive quarterly installments (“Milestone Payment 2”) commencing on [***].

Milestone Payment 1 and Milestone Payment 2 may each be referred to as a “Milestone Payment.”

c.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tempus may elect to withhold any of the Milestone Payment 2 installment(s) coming due after a failure by Personalis to satisfy the Commercial Launch Deadline for any Indication through no fault of Tempus; in such event, all such withheld Milestone Payment 2 installments shall come due upon Personalis’ subsequent achievement of the Commercial Launch Completion Date. In the event Personalis has not achieved the Commercial Launch Completion Date by [***] through no fault of Tempus, then Tempus may elect to convert the Agreement to be non-exclusive in all Indications or terminate the Agreement in its entirety. If Tempus so elects to terminate the Agreement or convert to the Agreement to be non-exclusive for all Indications, Personalis will refund any Market Development Fees received from Tempus as of the effective date of termination or the date on which the Agreement converts to be non-exclusive (as applicable), less the Activation Fee and also less the Repayment Reduction Amount (as defined below) and Tempus will have no obligation to make any further Milestone Payment 2 installment payments.
d.
Personalis shall [***] to perform the Tests (as defined in Exhibit B) ordered under this Agreement, including both the baseline and follow-up Test, for at least the following number of patients under this Agreement:
i.
[***] new patients in the [***] period following the Lung Launch Date;
ii.
[***] new patients in the [***] period following the Lung Launch Date; and
iii.
[***] new patients in the [***] period following Lung Launch Date.

References to “new patients” in this Exhibit and Exhibit C refer to the first Test for which the Personalis Assay is performed (i.e., the baseline Test for a new patient). [***]

3.
Exclusivity.
a.
Except as otherwise set forth herein, in exchange for the Market Development Fee, and subject to Tempus’ compliance with the terms hereof, beginning on the Effective Date and ending three (3) years from (i) for the Lung Indication, the date on which the first Test is ordered under this Agreement, or three (3) months after the Effective Date, whichever is earlier (the “Lung Launch Date”, and (ii) for each of the Breast and Immuno-Oncology Indications, the Commercial Launch Date for such Indication (for each Indication, the “Tempus Exclusivity Period”), Personalis will not allow any third party (other than an acquiror of Personalis in accordance with Section 9.g, or such acquiror’s Affiliates) to market the Personalis Assay for use in such Indication. Except as otherwise permitted under the Agreement, and subject to Personalis’ compliance with the terms hereof and the provisions of Exhibit B, starting on Effective Date and ending upon expiration of the Tempus Exclusivity Period for an Indication, Tempus will not market or sell another tumor-informed MRD assay indicated for use in such Indication (whether its own or that of a third party). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Personalis fails to meet the Commercial Launch Deadline for any one of the three Indications contemplated by this Agreement, then Tempus may elect to convert the Agreement to be non-exclusive in all Indications. In addition, all exclusivity obligations set forth in this Section 3 shall terminate in their entirety on December 31, 2027 to the extent such periods have not expired before that date.
b.
For avoidance of doubt, Tempus will not market or sell another tumor-informed MRD assay indicated for clinical use in an Indication before commencement of the Tempus Exclusivity Period for the applicable Indication; however, the foregoing will not restrict Tempus’ ability to market or sell a tumor naïve MRD assay in good faith, or from using its solid tumor clinical assays to augment

18


 

or enhance the results generated by its tumor-naïve MRD assay (for clarity, such tumor-naïve assay shall not be customized based on the results of any solid tumor assay for an individual patient), or Tempus’ ability to market or sell to life sciences companies a tumor-informed MRD assay (other than any Personalis Assay) solely for non-clinical, research use only purposes, in each case without the use of any of Personalis’ Background Intellectual Property.
c.
After [***] of the applicable Tempus Exclusivity Period for an Indication, Personalis may, by written notice, elect to contract with a third party to market the Personalis Assay for use in the applicable Indication; provided, however, Personalis shall (i) refund to Tempus any and all Market Development Fees paid, less the Activation Fee and also less the Repayment Reduction Amount (defined below), measured as of such date (for clarity, such refund shall only be due once, regardless of the number of Indications for which Personalis so elects (whether contemporaneously or subsequently) to convert the Agreement to be non-exclusive), and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary, continue to [***] perform Tests distributed, referred, and ordered under this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.d above.
d.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Tempus Trigger Event (as defined on Exhibit C) occurs, then Personalis will be permitted to convert the Agreement to be non-exclusive for the commercialization of the Personalis Assay solely with respect to the applicable Indication for which a Tempus Trigger Event has occurred without incurring any repayment obligation.
e.
To the extent (i) Personalis fails to achieve the Commercial Launch Deadline for any of the three targeted Indications according to the Validation Timeline and Schedule set forth herein through no fault of Tempus, or (ii) Tempus is unable to offer the Personalis Assay for use with one or more Indications according to the Validation Timeline and Schedule through no fault of Tempus (e.g., because of timeline delays caused by Personalis, an injunction due to alleged or actual intellectual property infringement, or a FDA warning letter) (each of (i) and (ii) a “Personalis Validation Event”), then (x) Tempus may elect to convert the Agreement to be non-exclusive in all Indications, and (y) Personalis will refund any Market Development Fees received from Tempus as of the date of the Personalis Validation Event less the Activation Fee and also less the Repayment Reduction Amount (as defined below).
4.
Cessation or Refund of Market Development Fees.
a.
If Personalis is obligated to refund to Tempus any Market Development Fees pursuant to Section 2.c or 3 above, such refund will be calculated as follows:
i.
The Activation Fee shall not be subject to repayment even if Personalis converts an Indication to a non-exclusive arrangement under Section 3 above.
ii.
Each individual Milestone Payment will be subject to its own amortization schedule to calculate the cumulative Repayment Reduction Amount based on the methodology set forth in this Section.
iii.
Beginning on the [***] (the “Due Date”) (for clarity, with respect to the Milestone 1 Payment, the Due Date shall be the Effective Date), and continuing for the [***] following such date, the balance for such Milestone Payment will be reduced at the end of [***] based on the schedule listed below (each a “Repayment Reduction Amount”):

Calculation Date

Repayment Reduction Amount

[***]

[***]% of the Milestone Payment

[***]

[***]% of the Milestone Payment

[***]

 

[***]% of the Milestone Payment

 

19


 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to extent the number of new patients in any given quarter exceeds Personalis’ applicable [***] divided by four (the “Excess Quarterly Capacity”), then the applicable Repayment Reduction Amount for such quarter will be increased according the following formula:

 

[***]

 

b.
If Personalis terminates the Agreement for convenience, or converts the Agreement to be non-exclusive, before expiration of any Tempus Exclusivity Period, and provided no Tempus Trigger Event has occurred, then Personalis will refund the Market Development Fees paid by Tempus less the Activation Fee and also less any accrued Repayment Reduction Amounts. For example, if Personalis elects to convert the Agreement into a non-exclusive arrangement on [***] after Commercial Launch of the first Indication (Lung) (but before Commercial Launch in any other Indication) and Tempus has paid to Personalis the Activation Fee and there has been no Excess Quarterly Capacity, and if the Milestone Payment 1 Due Date was [***], and two Milestone Payment 2 installments were paid on [***] and [***] respectively (with Tempus having elected to withhold any subsequent Milestone Payment 2 installments coming due in accordance with Section 2.c above), then Personalis would be required to repay Tempus ***] ([***] in Market Development Fees paid less the Activation Fee and also less ***] for the Repayment Reduction Amount).

 

5.
Continuity License Provision.
a.
Personalis hereby grants Tempus a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable (except to Affiliates), limited license under the Background Intellectual Property of Personalis that Personalis uses to perform the applicable Services solely as necessary for Tempus to perform such Services itself under this Agreement (the “Continuity License”), provided that the Continuity License shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of (A) Tempus’ material breach of the Agreement during the Initial Term or (B) eighteen (18) months after the termination or expiration of all Tempus Exclusivity Periods or (C) Tempus’ termination of the Agreement, and provided further that Tempus may exercise such license only if (1) the Continuity License Trigger is not otherwise attributable to any impermissible action or impermissible inaction of Tempus or any of its Affiliates, agents or contractors and (2) Tempus provides written notice of its election to exercise such license promptly after the occurrence of the following event (the “Continuity License Trigger”) and the requirements of Section 5.b below have been satisfied:
i.
The occurrence of an event that prevents Personalis from providing Tests under the Agreement [***] (and which requires Tempus to assume that responsibility).
b.
If a Continuity License Trigger occurs, then before the Continuity License may be exercised, the Parties shall promptly negotiate in good faith and agree on commercially reasonable consideration to be paid by Tempus to Personalis for the exercise of the Continuity License (the “License Fee”), which consideration shall take into account the value of the Continuity License and the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Continuity License Trigger. The total License Fee shall be reduced by the amount equal to (i) the Market Development Fees paid to Personalis less (ii) the Activation Fee and the Repayment Reduction Amounts accrued as of the date of the Continuity License Trigger. Either Party has the right to commence arbitration in accordance with Section 8.c.iv of the Agreement within [***] following the occurrence of a Continuity License Trigger for the sole purpose of determining the License Fee for the Continuity License.
c.
Promptly after Tempus begins exercising the Continuity License, the JSC shall establish a process for Personalis itself to resume performance of such Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as soon as practical and to the extent possible given the nature of the event constituting the Continuity License Trigger.

20


 

d.
Tempus covenants that it will not exercise the Continuity License, unless and until a Continuity License Trigger occurs, and Tempus provides timely written notice of its election to exercise the Continuity License and the requirements of Section 5.b above have been satisfied. Further, Tempus covenants that if a Continuity License Trigger occurs, it then shall exercise the Continuity License only in good faith and solely with respect to the applicable Personalis Services to which the Continuity License Trigger relates, and, only during the period after the Continuity License Trigger prior to the termination of the Continuity License pursuant to Section 5(a) or Personalis’ resumption of performance of such Services pursuant to the JSC-approved process.
e.
All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by either Party are and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code or any analogous provisions in any other country or jurisdiction, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that the Parties, as licensees of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of their rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. Upon the occurrence of a Continuity License Trigger and Tempus’ timely written notice of its exercise of the Continuity License, and after the requirements of Section 5.b above have been satisfied, Tempus shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or reasonable access to, as appropriate) the applicable Background Intellectual Property of Personalis and any needed embodiments of such Background Intellectual Property, solely as necessary for Tempus to exercise the Continuity License hereunder, and such Background Intellectual Property and embodiments (or reasonable access thereto), if not already in Tempus’ possession, shall be promptly delivered to Tempus.

Exhibit D
Data Activities

Background

The Parties intend to work together on a data sharing arrangement for purposes of promoting discovery and innovation in healthcare.

Agreement

1.
De-Identified Results Data. For each Test performed, Tempus will use commercially reasonable efforts to evaluate whether to abstract, structure, and de-identify the patient’s initial and longitudinal (including landmark) ctDNA Data and [***] derived from each Test and delivered to Tempus by Personalis (for purposes of this Exhibit, “Data”), it being understood that Tempus will prioritize such efforts in good faith consistent with actual third party demand; provided that Tempus will not make any such evaluation, or any determination of whether or not to de-identify Data, in a manner materially less favorable to Personalis than any other similarly-situated third party. To the extent Tempus de-identifies an individual patient record, the resulting de-identified record of initial and longitudinal (including landmark) ctDNA Data and [***] is referred to as “De-Identified Results Data”.
2.
De-Identification and Structuring Activities. When Tempus de-identifies Data, Tempus will perform the abstraction, structuring, and de-identification activities in accordance with its normal business practices in order to structure and prepare De-Identified Results Data. Tempus will de-identify Data in accordance with applicable laws, including the HIPAA’s standards for de-identification set forth in 45 C.F.R. 164.514. For purposes of this Agreement, [***] and ctDNA data without other patient identifiers is not considered identifiable. Tempus performs the abstraction, structuring, and de-identification activities in its covered entity role under HIPAA.
3.
Ownership. Tempus will provide Personalis with a copy of the De-Identified Results Data. Each Party owns its copy of the De-Identified Results Data and may use and share it for any purpose permitted under applicable law, including commercializing such De-Identified Results Data to third parties, including but not limited to life sciences companies and academic researchers. Tempus will provide attribution for Personalis’ contributions on any Tempus publication utilizing De-Identified Results Data that is not a joint publication by Tempus and Personalis.
4.
Royalty Payments. If Tempus or its Affiliate licenses De-Identified Results Data to a third party in exchange for a payment that results in Tempus or its Affiliate recognizing revenue in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, applied on a consistent basis, Tempus will pay Personalis on a quarterly basis, during the Term and for a period of ten (10) years thereafter, the following “Royalty”: [***] of the Gross Revenue (defined below) received by Tempus or its Affiliate that is directly attributable to the De-Identified Results Data included in such third party license, all as determined by Tempus in the exercise of reasonable discretion. Tempus will not make any such determination in a manner materially less favorable to Personalis than any other similarly-situated third party. The Parties agree that the Royalty provided herein has been determined in an arm’s length bargaining transaction and is consistent with fair market value for the De-Identified Results Data.

Tempus will report to Personalis on a quarterly basis any Gross Revenue and Royalty amounts due pursuant to this Section and will provide sufficient detail to Personalis to confirm the calculations of amounts due hereunder. Tempus will keep complete and accurate records of its and its Affiliates’ activities under this Exhibit, including, without limitation, records of any licenses of De-Identified Results Data to third parties as necessary for the calculation of the Royalty to be paid to Personalis hereunder. Subject to Tempus’ record retention policy, Tempus shall maintain such records for a period of [***] after the later of (a) expiration or termination of the Agreement and (b) the last Gross Revenue received Tempus for which the Royalty is due to Personalis. Upon reasonable prior notice, Tempus will permit Personalis or its designated representative to have access to Tempus’ records during Tempus’ normal business hours for the purpose of verifying Tempus’ compliance with this Exhibit, including, without limitation, the timely payment of all Royalties

payable under this Agreement. Personalis shall provide to Tempus a copy of the audit report. If the audit report shows that payments made by Tempus are deficient and Tempus does not reasonably dispute such findings within such time period, Tempus shall pay Personalis the deficient amount within [***] after Tempus’ receipt of the audit report. If payments made by Tempus are found to be deficient by more than [***], Tempus shall pay for the cost of the audit. If the audit report shows payments made by Tempus exceeded the amount owed, and Personalis does not reasonably dispute such findings within such time period, Personalis shall refund the excess amount to Tempus within [***] after Tempus’ receipt of the audit report.

Gross Revenue” means the total amount of compensation received by Tempus or its Affiliate in a transaction or series of transactions with a third party in which Tempus or its Affiliate licenses De-Identified Results Data to the third party, excluding any sales and use taxes incurred, with respect to the applicable license.
