The Investors providing financing to GondolaBio consist of an investor syndicate, including Viking Global Investors LP, Patient Square Capital, Sequoia Capital, Frazier Life Sciences, Cormorant Asset Management, Aisling Capital and an entity owned by Neil Kumar, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  The Transaction was consummated (the “Closing”) on the date of signing the Transaction Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, the Company contributed to GondolaBio certain early-stage clinical and pre-clinical stage programs in the areas of Erythropoietic Protoporphyria, Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency, and Tuberous Sclerosis Complex.

(c)        BridgeBio provides no assurances to the Investors that any consent, authorization or approval of a Third Party contemplated by this Section 2.2 will be granted. Subject to compliance by BridgeBio with the provisions of this Section 2.2, the Parties acknowledge and agree that neither BridgeBio nor its Affiliates shall be obligated to obtain any such authorization, approval or consent hereunder and neither (i) the failure to so actually obtain any such authorization, approval or consent in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in and of itself nor (ii) any default or termination or action commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person to the extent arising out of such failure to so actually obtain any such authorization, approval or consent in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in and of itself shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement.

To the Knowledge of BridgeBio, there have been no allegations of sexual harassment or sexual misconduct against any director, officer, or executive at the level of Senior Vice President or above of BridgeBio, its Subsidiaries, or the Company (in each case, in their capacity as such, and with respect to the In-Scope Programs, Acquired Subsidiaries, and Acquired Assets), since January 1, 2021, that, if known to the public, would bring the In-Scope Programs, Acquired Subsidiaries, or Acquired Assets into material disrepute. To the Knowledge of BridgeBio, no In-Scope Program Employee with an annual base salary at or above $250,000 intends to terminate his or her employment prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing. To the Knowledge of BridgeBio, no In-Scope Program Employee is, in any material respect, in violation of any material restrictive covenant obligation (i) owed to BridgeBio or its Subsidiaries or (ii) owed to any third party with respect to such person’s right to be employed or engaged by BridgeBio or its Subsidiaries or the Company or its Affiliates.
 
Section 4.19       In-Scope Contracts. Section 4.19 of the BridgeBio Disclosure Letter sets forth a list of each In-Scope Program Contract and Shared Contract (each such Contract required to be set forth on Section 4.19 of the BridgeBio Disclosure Letter, an “In-Scope Contract”). Each In-Scope Contract is valid, binding and enforceable on BridgeBio or its Subsidiaries or any of the Acquired Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and, to the Knowledge of BridgeBio, each other party thereto, and is in full force and effect. There is no violation of, or default under, any such In-Scope Contract by BridgeBio or its Subsidiaries or any of the Acquired Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and no event has occurred that, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a default thereunder by BridgeBio or its Subsidiaries or any of the Acquired Subsidiaries, as the case may be, or would permit or cause the termination thereof, in each case except as would not have a BridgeBio Material Adverse Effect. Neither BridgeBio or its Subsidiaries or any of the Acquired Subsidiaries have received written notice from any other party to an In-Scope Contract that such party intends to adversely modify, terminate, not renew or renegotiate in any material respect the terms of any such In-Scope Contract. Immediately upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, each In-Scope Contract shall continue in full force and effect on substantially the same terms and conditions as of the date hereof and immediately prior to the Closing. BridgeBio has made available to the Investors true, correct and complete copies of each of the In-Scope Contracts.

Section 6.10         Employee Matters.
 
(a)         Prior to the end of the period contemplated by the Transition Services Agreement (such period, the “Transition Period”), the Company shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates, to make an offer of employment to each In-Scope Program Employee, which offer of employment shall be effective as of the first day following the end of the Transition Period (the “Transfer Date”). Each In-Scope Program Employee who accepts such offer of employment and actually commences employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates as of the Transfer Date shall be a “Transferred Employee.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.10, if any In-Scope Program Employee is not actively at work and is receiving, or in a waiting or elimination period for, short-term or long-term disability benefits as of immediately prior to the Transfer Date pursuant to an Employee Plan (each, an “Inactive Employee”) such Inactive Employee will remain employed with BridgeBio or any of its Affiliates as of the Transfer Date. If such Inactive Employee, within six (6) months following the Transfer Date, is able to return to work, then immediately upon such return, BridgeBio shall so notify the Company, and the Company shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, offer employment to such employee. With respect to each Inactive Employee who commences employment with the Company, references to the “Transfer Date” in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the date that such Inactive Employee commences employment with the Company.
 
(b)        From and after the Closing Date, the Company shall honor, fulfill and fully satisfy any and all obligations for the year in which the Closing Date occurs for any cash bonus, commission or other incentive compensation Employee Plans in which any Transferred Employee participates immediately prior to such Transferred Employee’s Transfer Date (collectively, the “Bonus Plans”), whether the obligation with respect thereto arises before, after or as a result of the Closing Date, in accordance with the terms of such Bonus Plans (the aggregate amount of such payments, the “Closing Year Bonus Payments”). As soon as practicable following the payment of the Closing Year Bonus Payments to Transferred Employees (which shall be paid no later than March 15, 2025), the Company shall provide BridgeBio with a full statement of such payments made to Transferred Employees. Within sixty (60) days following receipt of such statement, BridgeBio will reimburse the Company an amount equal to seven-twelfths (7/12th) of (i) the Closing Year Bonus Payments plus (ii) the employer portion of Taxes payable in respect of the Closing Year Bonus Payments.
 
40

(c)         Effective as of the Transfer Date, any unvested equity or equity-based incentive awards of BridgeBio held by Transferred Employees will be forfeited as a result of the transfer of such Transferred Employees’ employment pursuant to this Agreement, and BridgeBio shall retain all Liabilities with respect to any equity or equity-based incentive awards of BridgeBio held by any In-Scope Program Employee (including any Transferred Employee). Following the Transfer Date, the Company shall be solely responsible for the payment of any incentive compensation to Transferred Employees.
 
(d)        Except for Excluded Liabilities or as otherwise specifically set forth in this Section 6.10, the Company shall assume (i) all Liabilities with respect to the Company’s or its Affiliate’s employment or termination of the Transferred Employees on or after the Transfer Date,  and (ii) all Liabilities otherwise set forth in the Transition Services Agreement (the “Assumed Employee Liabilities”).
 
(e)         Prior to the Transfer Date, BridgeBio shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to, fully vest each In-Scope Program Employee in his or her account balances under each Employee Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, effective as of the Transfer Date, and make or cause to be made all employee and employer contributions to such Employee Plan on behalf of In-Scope Program Employees had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not occurred (regardless of any service or end-of-year employment requirements) but prorated for the portion of the plan year prior to the Transfer Date.
 
(f)         BridgeBio shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, use their commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any foreign national In-Scope Program Employee who requires a visa in order to work for BridgeBio or its Affiliates in his or her current position may continue to work in such position as a Transferred Employee on the Transfer Date. In the event such In-Scope Program Employee is not authorized to work for the Company as of the Transfer Date, such In-Scope Program Employee shall become a “Delayed Transfer Employee.” From and after the Transfer Date and until the earlier of (i) the date each Delayed Transfer Employee becomes employed by the Company or (ii) a date to be mutually agreed by the Parties (such period, the “Delayed Transfer Employee Term”), BridgeBio and its Affiliates shall make the services of such Delayed Transfer Employee available to the Company until the applicable visa is obtained. During such Delayed Transfer Employee Term, Delayed Transfer Employees shall remain employees of BridgeBio or its applicable Affiliate, subject to any Delayed Transfer Employee’s termination of employment due to termination for cause, resignation, death or disability. For and in consideration for such services from BridgeBio and its Affiliates to the Company, the Company shall pay and deliver to BridgeBio and its Affiliates a monthly payment equal to the total amount of compensation, employee benefit expenses, employment taxes, liability insurance costs and overhead expenses  (in each case, to the extent reasonable and documented) actually incurred by BridgeBio and its Affiliates for each Delayed Transfer Employee providing services to the Company for the immediately preceding month; provided, however, such amounts may not exceed the total amount of compensation, employee benefit expenses employment taxes, liability insurance costs and overhead expenses actually incurred by BridgeBio and its Affiliates for each such Delayed Transfer Employee immediately prior to the Transfer Date.
 
41

(g)        During the period prior to the Closing Date, BridgeBio shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to make independent contractors who provide services to the In-Scope Programs and are directly engaged by BridgeBio or its Affiliates available to the Company or its Affiliates for the purpose of allowing the Company to interview each such contractor and determine the nature and extent of each such person’s continuation with the Company and its applicable Affiliates, if any.
 
(h)         Nothing contained in this Section 6.10, express or implied, (i) is intended to confer upon any In-Scope Program Employee or any other Person any right to continued employment or any particular term or condition of employment for any period, (ii) will prohibit or limit the ability of the Company or any of its respective Affiliates from amending, modifying or terminating any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, Contract, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them, or (iii) will constitute an amendment to or any other modification of any Acquired Subsidiary Plan or Employee Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, Contract, agreement or arrangement. Further, this Section 6.10 will be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the Parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.10, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever (including any third-party beneficiary rights) under or by reason of this Section 6.10.
 
Section 6.11        Transitional Trademark License. Following the Closing, the Company and its Affiliates shall, as soon as practicable, but in no event later December 31, 2024, cease to make any use of or to permit any third party to make any use of any BridgeBio Marks.  Any use by the Company of any of the BridgeBio Marks as permitted in this Section 6.11 is subject to their use of the BridgeBio Marks in a form and manner, and with standards of quality, of that in effect for the BridgeBio Marks as of the Closing Date; provided, that neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall use the BridgeBio Marks for sales or marketing purposes in any event.  The Company and its Affiliates shall not use the BridgeBio Marks in a manner that may reflect negatively on such name and marks or on BridgeBio or its Affiliates.  BridgeBio shall have the right to terminate the foregoing, effective immediately, if the Company and its Affiliates fail to comply with the foregoing terms and conditions or otherwise fail to comply with any reasonable direction of BridgeBio in relation to the use of the BridgeBio Marks. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement will prohibit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from (x) retaining and using, solely for its internal business purposes, records and other historical or archived documents containing or referencing the BridgeBio Marks and (y) using the BridgeBio Marks in a descriptive or factually accurate manner where such use constitutes permitted non-trademark uses under applicable Law, including uses not in commerce, uses that would not cause confusion as to the origin or sponsorship of a good or service and uses in historical, tax and similar records.

43

Section 6.14         Non-Competition.
 
(a)         BridgeBio agrees that for the period commencing on the Closing Date and expiring on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, neither it nor any of its controlled Affiliates shall directly or indirectly (including by way of licensing any Person) own any interest in, engage in, manage, operate, develop or otherwise pursue the following programs or indications: Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP), Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1AT) and small molecule method for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), and in each case, next generation applications of the foregoing (together, a “Company Competing Program”); provided that nothing in this Section 6.14(a) shall preclude BridgeBio and its controlled Affiliates from (i) owning up to a 5.00% passive interest in any Person engaged (in any manner) in a Company Competing Program and to the extent such investment does not give BridgeBio or such Affiliates the right to designate a member of the board of directors (or similar governing body) of such Person and (ii) BridgeBio’s ownership and involvement in the joint venture with the Company as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE VII
SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION
 
Section 7.1        Survival. None of the representations and warranties of the Parties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered by the Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing, except in respect of claims for Fraud. The covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Parties set forth in this Agreement that contemplate performance following the Closing shall survive the Closing in full force and effect until fully performed in accordance with their terms. Each covenant in this Agreement that by its terms applies or is required to be performed in its entirety at or before the Closing shall survive until the occurrence of the Closing and shall thereupon terminate.
 
Section 7.2         Indemnification by BridgeBio. Subject to Section 7.4, from and after the Closing Date, BridgeBio shall indemnify, defend, hold harmless and reimburse the Company and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, members, managers, general or limited partners, representatives and advisors (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) against, and hold them harmless from, and pay and reimburse such parties for, any Losses to the extent such Losses arise from or in connection with any and all Excluded Liabilities.
 
Section 7.3          Indemnification by the Company. Subject to Section 7.4, from and after the Closing Date, the Company shall indemnify, defend, hold harmless and reimburse BridgeBio and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and advisors (the “BridgeBio Indemnified Parties”) against, and hold them harmless from, and pay and reimburse such parties for, any Losses to the extent such Losses arise from or in connection with any and all Assumed Liabilities.
 
Section 7.4        Limitations on Indemnification. Each Person entitled to indemnification under this Article VII (an “Indemnified Party”) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Losses that are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or in connection herewith after becoming aware of any event that could reasonably be expected to give rise to such Losses (including by taking all reasonable actions to recover reasonably available proceeds under any Contract or insurance). The amount of any Losses for which either BridgeBio or the Company, as the case may be, is liable under this Article VII shall be reduced by (i) any amount actually received by the Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any Third Party, (ii) the amount of any insurance proceeds actually paid to the Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses as an offset against such Losses (net of out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in obtaining such recovery and the amount of any retrospective or other current increase in insurance premiums to the extent attributable to the payment of such cash recovery or the existence of such Losses), and (iii) any net Tax benefits actually realized by any applicable Acquired Subsidiary as a result of the events or circumstances giving rise to the incurrence, accrual or payment of the Losses that such Indemnified Party is to recover from the indemnifying Party, calculated on a “with and without” basis. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 is determined after payment by the indemnifying Party (“Indemnifying Party”) of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VII, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article VII had such determination been made at the time of such payment.
 
46

Section 7.5           Procedure.
 
(a)         Any Person seeking indemnification provided for under this Article VII in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any Person (other than a Party hereto) against an Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Third-Party Claim; provided that failure to give such notice shall not affect the right to indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, as promptly as reasonably practicable following such Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all written notices and documents (including any court papers) received by such Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim.
 
(b)         If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled at its election and its cost to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided that such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall nonetheless have the right to employ counsel separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any fees of such separate counsel with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, unless the employment and reimbursement of such separate counsel is authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume such defense, and for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of one single counsel (in addition to reasonable fees and expenses of local counsel required in jurisdictions not central to the Third-Party Claim) employed (and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) by such Indemnified Party (which reasonable fees and expenses shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement). If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend a Third-Party Claim or prosecute a claim in connection therewith, each Indemnified Party shall provide all cooperation as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in such defense or prosecution.
 
(c)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.5, no Party may settle, compromise or discharge (and in doing so, make any reasonable admission of Liability with respect to) such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
 
(d)         An Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or continue control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim if (i) the Third-Party Claim (A) relates to or arises in connection with any criminal Legal Proceeding, or (B) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against any Indemnified Party, or (ii) the outcome of any judgment or settlement of such Third-Party Claim could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the ability of the Indemnified Party to conduct its or its Affiliates’ businesses.
 
47

(e)         In the event an Indemnified Party has a claim against an Indemnifying Party under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party (i) stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, (ii) giving reasonable supporting documentation relating to such Loss and (iii) containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed to arise, promptly after becoming aware of the facts or circumstances giving rise to such claim; provided that failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall, for a period of not less than sixty (60) days following receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the notice of such claim, negotiate, in good faith, to resolve the claim, and such Indemnified Party shall not commence Proceedings with respect to such claim prior to the end of such period.
 
(f)          All amounts owed by an Indemnifying Party under this Article VII shall be paid promptly (but in any event within five Business Days from the date of determination of such amounts owed) by the Indemnifying Person through wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by the Indemnified Party entitled to such payment.
 
Section 7.6          Exclusive Remedies. Other than (a) with respect to any right a Party may have to injunctive relief or specific performance, or (b) in the case of Fraud, the Parties acknowledge and agree that following the Closing the indemnification provisions of this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article VII for any claims for monetary relief by any Party; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.6 shall not limit any rights or remedies of any Member or the Company under the LLC Agreement.

Section 8.5          Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.
 
(a)        This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
 
49

(b)        The Parties irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware (and any appellate court therefrom)) (collectively, the “Chosen Courts”) in any action or Legal Proceeding that arises in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and the documents referred to in this Agreement or in respect of the transactions contemplated herein, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or Legal Proceeding for interpretation or enforcement hereof or any such document that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or Legal Proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in the Chosen Courts or that venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such Chosen Courts, and the Parties irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action, suit or Legal Proceeding shall be heard and determined exclusively by such Chosen Courts.
 
(c)         EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY BE BASED UPON, ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT: (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (II) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THE FOREGOING WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.5.
 
Section 8.6          Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties will be irreparably damaged if this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms and that any breach of this Agreement and the non-consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement would not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which a Party may be entitled, at Law or in equity, the Parties expressly consent to the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement, without the need for proof of actual damages or any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief, in accordance with its terms and to require any other Party to consummate the Closing and perform its obligations hereunder.
 
Section 8.7       Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision hereof to any circumstances is held invalid, unenforceable, or otherwise illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other circumstances shall not be affected. Upon any such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, unenforceable, or otherwise illegal, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
 
50

Section 8.8         Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in two or more separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement, the agreements referred to herein, and each other agreement, consent or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a photographic, portable document format (.pdf), or similar reproduction of such signed writing using electronic mail shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.
 
Section 8.9          Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms. Any singular term in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the plural, and any plural term the singular. Where a word or phrase is defined herein, each of its other grammatical forms shall have a corresponding meaning. The use of the word “include,” “includes” and “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than by limitation. Reference to any agreement, document or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and if applicable, hereof. The use of the words “or,” “either” and “any” shall not be exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall convey the concept of degree, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Schedules,” “Sections” and “Exhibits” are intended to refer to Schedules, Sections and Exhibits to this Agreement. The terms “hereof,” “hereunder,” “herein” and words of similar import will refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The use of the word “threatened” in this Agreement shall be deemed followed by “in writing.” All references to “dollars” or “$” shall be to U.S. dollars. References to any provisions of Law shall be construed as references to such provisions as amended, expanded, consolidated or reissued, or as their applicability may be altered from time to time by other rules, and shall include any provision from which they originate (with or without modifications), regulations, instruments or other legal rules subordinate thereto. References to any period of days shall be deemed to be the relevant number of calendar days (unless Business Days are specified); provided that all references to terms or periods in this Agreement shall be counted excluding the date of the event that causes such term or period to begin and including the last day of the relevant term or period. All periods provided for in this Agreement ending on a day that is not a Business Day shall be automatically extended to the first subsequent Business Day. The phrases “provided,” “delivered,” “made available,” or “furnished” (or any phrase of similar import) means that the information referred to has been physically or electronically delivered to the Investors or its representatives (including the Investors’ Representatives and their representatives) at least one (1) Business Days prior to the date hereof (and available continuously until the execution of this Agreement), including information or documents that have been uploaded to the data room hosted by Donnelley Financial Solutions Venue in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties. The phrase “primarily related to” in respect of any program or business shall mean “primarily related to, primarily used or primarily held for use in” the conduct of such program or business. The phrase “ordinary course of business” means an action taken by or on behalf of a Person that is consistent (including with respect to frequency and magnitude) with the past practices of such Person and is taken in the ordinary course of the operations of such Person.
 
51

Section 8.10        Schedules. The BridgeBio Disclosure Letter and the exhibits, schedules and annexes to this Agreement shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement. Each capitalized term used in any exhibit, schedule or annex or the BridgeBio Disclosure Letter but not otherwise defined therein shall be defined as set forth in this Agreement. The BridgeBio Disclosure Letter had been arranged in numbered and lettered sections and subsections corresponding to the applicable numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Agreement. Each item disclosed in the BridgeBio Disclosure Letter shall constitute an exception to, or as applicable, disclosure for the purposes of, the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) to which it makes reference and shall also be deemed to be constructively disclosed or set forth in any other section in the BridgeBio Disclosure Letter relating to other sections of this Agreement to the extent a cross-reference is expressly made to such other section in the BridgeBio Disclosure Letter or to the extent that the relevance of such item as an exception to, or as applicable, disclosure for the purposes of, another section of this Agreement is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure that such disclosure also qualifies or applies to, or is disclosed for the purposes of, such other section of this Agreement. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in the BridgeBio Disclosure Letter shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement. Such information and the dollar thresholds set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material” or other similar terms in this Agreement. The inclusion of any item in the BridgeBio Disclosure Letter shall not constitute an admission by BridgeBio that such item is or is not material. No disclosure in the BridgeBio Disclosure Letter relating to any possible breach or violation of any Contract, Law or Governmental Order shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. The BridgeBio Disclosure Letter and the information contained therein are intended only to qualify or provide disclosure for the purposes of the applicable representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement and shall not be deemed to expand in any way the scope or effect of any of such representations, warranties or covenants.
 
Section 8.11       Notices. All notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (i) as of the date delivered if delivered personally, mailed by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) or sent by overnight courier (providing proof of delivery) or (ii) as of the date transmitted if sent by electronic transmission (with confirmation of transmission by the transmitting equipment) to the following electronic mail addresses, in each case, to the addresses below (or at such other contact information for a party hereto as shall be specified by like notice):

Section 8.12    Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents (including the BridgeBio Disclosure Letter) collectively constitute the complete agreement among BridgeBio, the Company the Investors and the Investors’ Representatives, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless otherwise specifically provided in a written instrument executed by the Parties expressly referencing this Agreement and this Section 8.12.
 
Section 8.13       Public Announcements. Except as otherwise provided herein, (a) the Parties shall consult in advance with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public disclosure or public statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder; and (b) no such press release, public disclosure or public statement shall be made unless mutually agreed upon by the Parties or required by Law or applicable stock exchange regulation; provided that each Investor (to the extent such Investor is a financial sponsor) is permitted to report and disclose, on a confidential basis, the status of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to its direct or indirect limited partners or current or prospective investors in connection with ordinary course fundraising, reporting or informational activities.
 
56

Section 8.14        Investors’ Representatives.
 
(a)       Each Investor irrevocably authorizes and appoints the Investors’ Representatives as such Investor’s representatives and attorneys-in-fact to act on behalf of such Investor with respect to this Agreement and any other Transaction Document (other than the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement) and to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Investors’ Representatives pursuant to this Agreement or other Transaction Document (other than the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement), including the exercise of the power to:
 
(i)           give and receive notices and communications;
 
(ii)         execute and deliver all documents necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (other than the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement);
 
(iii)        make all elections or decisions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (other than the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement);
 
(iv)      engage, employ, or appoint any agents or representatives (including attorneys, accountants, and consultants) to assist the Investors’ Representatives in complying with their duties and obligations; and
 
(v)          take all actions necessary or appropriate in the good faith judgment of the Investors’ Representatives for the accomplishment of the foregoing.
 
(b)        BridgeBio and the Company shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Investors’ Representatives on all matters relating to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (other than the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement) and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Investor by each of the Investors’ Representatives, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Investor by each of the Investors’ Representatives, as being fully binding upon such Person. Notices or communications to or from the Investors’ Representatives shall constitute notice to or from each of the Investors. Any decision or action by each of the Investors’ Representatives hereunder shall constitute a decision or action of all the Investors and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Person. No Investor shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. The provisions of this Section 8.14, including the power of attorney granted hereby, are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall not be terminated by any act of any one or more of the Investors, or by operation of Law, whether by death or other event. For the avoidance of doubt, any action taken by the Investors’ Representatives in accordance with Section 8.14(a) hereof shall be taken jointly by each Investors’ Representative and no Investors’ Representative shall be entitled to act independent of the other Investors’ Representative.
 
57

(c)        Each Investors’ Representative may resign at any time; provided, however, in no event shall any Investors’ Representative resign without the Investors (by action of the Investors representing a majority in interest of the Closing Date Cash Contribution (the “Required Majority”)) having first appointed a new Investors’ Representative who shall assume such duties immediately upon the resignation of such Investors’ Representative. If, for any reason, either Investors’ Representative is unable to serve as an Investors’ Representative, a new Investors’ Representative shall be appointed by the Investors (by action of the Required Majority). Notice of such appointment shall be sent to BridgeBio.
 
(d)         Each Investor (pro rata based on the portion of the Closing Date Cash Contribution) hereby severally, for itself only and not jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investors’ Representative against all fees, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages, liabilities, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Investors’ Representative by reason of the fact it is or was acting as an Investors’ Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
 
(e)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, other than in the case of Fraud, the Investors’ Representatives shall not have any obligation or liability to any Investor relating to the performance of their duties under this Agreement or under any Transaction Document. The Investors’ Representatives shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Investor. The Investors’ Representatives shall not be liable to any Investor for any action taken or omitted by them or any agent employed by them hereunder or under any other document entered into in connection herewith, except that the Investors’ Representatives shall not be relieved of any liability imposed by applicable Law for willful misconduct or actual common law fraud with the intent to deceive under Delaware law as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
 
(f)         For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8.14 shall not impact any of the rights, privileges, preferences or obligations of any Investor under the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement.
 
Section 8.15        Privileges; Conflicts.

The Parties shall take, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to take, all steps necessary to implement the intent of this Section 8.15(b). The Parties further agree that Goodwin and Richards and their respective partners and employees are third-party beneficiaries of this Section 8.15(b).

The Specified Corporate Opportunities Allocation shall expire on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing.
 
 
32

(e)          Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, during the five-year period following the Closing, the Board of Directors of BBIO shall have thirty (30) days from being presented a Whitespace Opportunity from a Specified Person to determine whether to pursue such Whitespace Opportunity, in its sole discretion (including to the exclusion of the Company), and if the Board of Directors of BBIO determines not to pursue such Whitespace Opportunity, or does not affirmatively determine to have BBIO pursue such Whitespace Opportunity within such thirty (30) day period, then the Board will be presented with and have the ability to pursue such Whitespace Opportunity.

5.1          Capital Structure.
 
(a)          General.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company is authorized to issue equity interests in the Company designated as “Units”, which shall constitute limited liability company interests under the Act and shall include initially Class A Units and Class B Units (whether any such Units are issued on or after the date hereof).  Subject to Section 5.4, the Board shall have the authority to cause the Company to issue such number of Units of any class, series or tranche as may be determined by the Board from time to time.  The Company is authorized to issue options or warrants to purchase Units, restricted Units, Unit appreciation rights, phantom Units, and other securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for Units on such terms as may be determined by the Board from time to time.  If the Board authorizes any subdivision, split, combination or reclassification of Units or any other similar action, if necessary or appropriate, the Board shall, acting in good faith, appropriately adjust the economic provisions of this Agreement to reflect such action, including by amending the distribution provisions of Section 6.4 and associated definitions.  Other than as set forth in this Agreement or in the instruments governing the terms of any Units issued pursuant to this Section 5.1(a), each Unit shall be identical in all respects with each other Unit.
 
35

(b)          Class A Units.  The Class A Units shall have such rights to allocations and Distributions as may be authorized and set forth under this Agreement.  The relative rights, powers, preferences, duties, liabilities and obligations of holders of the Class A Units shall be as set forth herein.  Each holder of Class A Units shall be entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Voting Unit Percentage for each Member as of the applicable date and time on all matters upon which Members have the right to vote as set forth in this Agreement and provided under the Act.
 
(c)          Class B UnitsThe Company may provide for the issuance and terms of Class B Units as and when corresponding Management Holdco Class B Units are issued by Management Holdco representing, in the aggregate, up to twenty percent (20%), on a fully diluted basis (including after giving effect to the issuance of the total number of Class B Units)  (the “Class B Limit”), of the sum of (A) the Class A Units of the Company outstanding as of the Closing and (B) the number of Class A Units issuable as a result of all Additional Capital Contributions being made in accordance with Section 5.1(e)(i) (such sum, the “Committed Equity Amount”) to provide equity incentive compensation to selected Directors, officers, employees and other service providers of the Company and its Affiliates (including its Subsidiaries); provided, that ten percent (10%) of such Class B Units shall remain uncommitted and unallocated following the initial allocation of Class B Unit grants so that they may be granted following the Closing to Directors, officers, employees and other service providers of the Company; provided, further, that the maximum amount of Class B Units that can be Vested Class B Units at any given time shall be equal to the product of (1) the Class B Limit and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (x) the number of Class A Units of the Company outstanding as of the Closing and (y) the number of Class A Units issued as a result of Additional Capital Contributions that have been made as of such time, and the denominator of which is the Committed Equity Amount.  It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that each Class B Unit and each corresponding Management Holdco Class B Unit constitutes a Profits Interest.  The Company shall have the authority to issue such number of Class B Units and corresponding Management Holdco Class B Units (subject to the Class B Limit) as the Company shall from time to time determine with such terms, conditions, rights and obligations, including forfeiture and repurchase, as may be determined by the Company as set forth herein, in the Management Holdco Operating Agreement and in the related Applicable Class B Unit Agreements pursuant to which any Management Holdco Class B Unit may be awarded; provided that each such Class B Unit and corresponding Management Holdco Class B Unit shall vest in equal annual installments over a four-year period from the date of grant.  Members shall not have any voting rights with respect to their Class B Units.  Subject to compliance with Section 13.1(a) of this Agreement, the Company shall be permitted to take all actions, including amending this Agreement, to the extent necessary or appropriate, to cause the Class B Units to be treated as Profits Interests for all U.S. federal income tax purposes and valued based on liquidation value or similar principles.  Each Member shall respect any allocations of income to be made to any such Member even if such Class B Units are subject to risk of forfeiture. The Company and all Members will (A) treat such Class B Units as outstanding for tax purposes, (B) treat any holder of Class B Units as a Member of the Company for tax purposes with respect to such Class B Units and (C) file all tax returns and reports consistently with the foregoing.
 
(d)          Section 83(b) Election.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Member shall execute and deliver a valid and timely election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to their Class B Units to both the Internal Revenue Service and the Company within thirty (30) days of the date of receipt of any Class B Units.

(ii)          Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement, including Section 5.1(e)(i) and Section 5.4, the Company is authorized to issue Units to any Person at such prices per Unit as may be determined by the Board to be the fair market value and in exchange for contributions of cash or property, the provision of services or other consideration (collectively, “Unit Consideration”), as may be determined in good faith by the Board. Subject to the express provisions of this Agreement, including Section 5.2 and Section 5.4, the number of Units held by each Member shall not be affected by any (A) issuance by the Company of Units to other Members or (B) change in the Capital Account of such Member.  If necessary or appropriate in the Board’s discretion (in accordance with this Agreement), the Board shall, acting in good faith, appropriately adjust the economic provisions of this Agreement to reflect the issuance of additional Units pursuant to this Section 5.1(e) that are of a new class not previously reflected in this Agreement, including by amending the distribution provisions of Section 6.4 and associated definitions.
 
(f)          Certificates; Legend.  In the sole discretion of the Board, the issued and outstanding Units may be represented by certificates.  In addition to any other legend required with respect to a particular class, group or series of Units or pursuant to any other agreement among Members and the Company, each such certificate, if applicable, shall bear the following legend:

5.2          Defaulting Investor; Dilution.
 
(a)           In the event that an Investor does not make, in whole or in part, any portion of its Additional Cash Contributions when due (such Investor, the “Defaulting Member”, and such amount, the “Defaulted Cash Contribution Amount”) on or before the date that such contribution is required to be made, such Defaulting Member shall have thirty (30) days from the day such contribution amount was originally due to cure such Defaulted Cash Contribution Amount (such period, the “Cure Period”).
 
(b)          If the Defaulting Member fails to satisfy the Defaulted Cash Contribution Amount within the Cure Period then:
 
(i)          interest shall accrue on the Defaulted Cash Contribution Amount at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate from the due date until the date on which the Defaulted Cash Contribution Amount, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, is paid in full by the Defaulting Member to the Company; and
 
(ii)          the Defaulting Member’s Preemptive Rights, voting rights and rights to participate in the management of the business of the Company (including to act as or appoint a Director, participation in any committee of the Board and other decisions relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) shall be suspended and the Defaulting Member’s Units shall be deemed not to be outstanding for purposes of any voting or approval rights; provided that the Defaulting Member shall have the right to restore its governance rights by paying the Defaulted Cash Contribution Amount, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, to the Company on or prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the end of the Cure Period.
 
(c)          If Defaulting Member fails to satisfy the Defaulted Cash Contribution Amount, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, on or prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the end of the Cure Period, then the Company shall reduce the number of Class A Units held by the Defaulting Member by the number equal to the product of (y) quotient of (A) Defaulted Cash Contribution Amount (together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon) divided by (B) the Price Per Unit, multiplied by (z) two (2); provided that the number Class A Units held by a Defaulting Member shall not be less than zero (0). Without limiting the foregoing, the Members agree that this Section 5.2 shall not be deemed to limit any other rights or remedies of the Company or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement.
 
38

5.3          Unit Schedule.  The number and type of Units issued to Members shall be listed on Schedule A hereto, which shall be amended from time to time as required to reflect issuances of Units to Additional Members, Transfers of Units to Substitute Members, acquisition of additional Units by Members, repurchase of Units and to reflect the cessation or withdrawal of Members.

5.4          Preemptive Rights.
 
(a)          General.  If prior to a Qualified IPO, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries issues any (i) equity securities, (ii) debt securities or (iii) any securities exercisable for, or convertible or exchangeable into equity or debt securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (all items referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are collectively referred to as “Additional Securities”), each Member holding Class A Units (the “Applicable Holders”) shall have the right to purchase, upon the same terms and conditions (the “Preemptive Right”), up to its Preemptive Portion of such Additional Securities.  Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall apply to any Excluded Issuance.  Such Preemptive Right will be offered to each Applicable Holder by written notice (a “Participation Notice”) given by the Company to the Applicable Holders at least fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed issuance date specifying therein the amount of the Additional Securities being offered, the purchase price and other material terms and conditions of such offer (such offer, the “Offer”).  Each Applicable Holder shall have a period of ten (10) days from and after the date of the Participation Notice within which to irrevocably accept such Offer in whole or in part (the “Preemptive Right Period”).  If an Applicable Holder fails to give written notice to the Company within the Preemptive Right Period, such Applicable Holder shall be deemed to have declined such Offer.  If any Applicable Holder or Applicable Holders fail to accept the Offer with respect to any Additional Securities in whole within the Preemptive Right Period (any such Additional Securities that were not accepted by such Applicable Holder or Applicable Holders, “Non-Exercised Securities”), then, promptly following the Preemptive Right Period, the Company will provide written notice (an “Undersubscription Notice”) to each Applicable Holder that did accept the Offer in whole with respect to the Additional Securities it was entitled to acquire in the Offer (each a “Fully-Exercising Applicable Holder”) and each such Fully-Exercising Applicable Holder will have a period of five (5) days following the date of the delivery of the Undersubscription Notice to irrevocably elect to purchase (in addition to the Additional Securities accepted pursuant to the Offer) up to a number of Non-Exercised Securities equal to the product of (A) the total number of Non-Exercised Securities multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is such Fully-Exercising Applicable Holder’s Preemptive Portion and the denominator of which is the aggregate Preemptive Portions of all Fully-Exercising Applicable Holders.  A Fully-Exercising Applicable Holder will be deemed to have declined such offer to purchase Non-Exercised Securities if it fails to give written notice to the Company of its acceptance of such offer within such five (5) day period.  The procedures described in the two immediately preceding sentences shall be repeated, iteratively (with only those Applicable Holders who fully exercise their rights to acquire Non-Exercised Securities pursuant to the most recent Undersubscription Notice having the right to participate in any subsequent offer of remaining Non-Exercised Securities), until either all Additional Securities have been subscribed for, or no such Fully-Exercising Applicable Holders elect to purchase any remaining Non-Exercised Securities.  All Non-Exercised Securities that any Fully-Exercising Applicable Holder so elects to acquire shall be deemed to be added to the Offer accepted by such Fully-Exercising Applicable Holder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries offers Additional Securities and the Company is not able to comply with, or it would be commercially impracticable to comply with, the time period above prior to the closing of the issuance, with respect to such Additional Securities, the Company or such Subsidiary shall comply with its obligations to the Applicable Holders under this Section 5.4 as promptly as reasonably practicable following the closing of such issuance (in accordance with Section 5.4(e)).
 
39

(b)          Closing.  The closing with respect to any Additional Securities to be purchased by an Applicable Holder shall be held within thirty (30) days of the date of such Applicable Holder’s election to purchase or on such other date as the Company and such Applicable Holder shall agree; provided, however, that the Company may, in its discretion, hold one closing with respect to the purchase of all Additional Securities on a date determined by the Company to be not less than fifteen (15) and not more than sixty (60) days after the last Applicable Holder or accepts or declines (or the applicable offer period expires with respect to) any Offer in connection with the same offering of Additional Securities.
 
(c)          Offer and Sale.  If any Additional Securities are not subscribed for pursuant to accepted Offers under Section 5.4(a), any of such Additional Securities not purchased pursuant to such Offer may be offered for sale and sold by the Company to any other Person as determined by the Board for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days from the last day of Preemptive Right Period, but only for an amount no lower than the price per Additional Security set forth in the initial Offer (and on other terms that are not materially more favorable to such other Person from those offered to the Applicable Holders) to the Applicable Holders made in accordance with this Section 5.4.
 
(d)          Securities Law Considerations.  In the event that the issuance of Additional Securities to an Applicable Holder would require under applicable Law the registration or qualification of such securities or of any Person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities where such registration or qualification is not otherwise required for such issuance, such Applicable Holder shall not have the right to participate in the issuance.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that neither the Applicable Holders nor the Company shall be under any obligation to effect a registration of such securities under the Securities Act or similar state statutes except as otherwise specifically provided herein.
 
(e)          Other Preemptive Rights Holder.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event the Board determines in good faith that exigent circumstances exist with respect to complying with the mechanics of Section 5.4(a), 5.4(b) and 5.4(c), the Company may, in order to expedite the issuance of the Additional Securities subject to this Section 5.4 (the “Preemptive Securities”), issue all or a portion of such Additional Securities to one or more Persons (each an “Initial Subscribing Holder”), without complying with the provisions of this Section 5.4; provided that the Company agrees to offer to sell an additional amount of such Additional Securities to each Applicable Holder who is not an Initial Subscribing Holder (each such holder, an “Other Preemptive Rights Holder”) in an amount and manner which provides such Other Preemptive Rights Holder with rights substantially similar to the rights outlined in Section 5.4(a), 5.4(b) and 5.4(c).  Such Additional Securities shall be offered to the Other Preemptive Rights Holders in a manner such that such Other Preemptive Rights Holders shall be in substantially the same position as they would have been in if the preemptive rights process in Section 5.4(a) had been effected.  The Company shall offer to sell such Additional Securities to each Other Preemptive Rights Holder within ten (10) days after the closing of the purchase or issuance of the Preemptive Securities by or to the Initial Subscribing Holder.
 
40

(f)          Further Assurances.  Each Applicable Holder shall take or cause to be taken all such reasonable actions as may be necessary or reasonably desirable in order to consummate expeditiously each issuance pursuant to this Section 5.4, including executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments; filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with Governmental Authorities, and otherwise reasonably cooperating with the Company and any prospective purchaser.
 
5.5          No Withdrawal of Capital Contributions.  Except upon a dissolution and liquidation of the Company effected in accordance with Article X and XI, no Member shall have the right to withdraw its Capital Contributions from the Company.

5.6          No Other Capital Contributions.  Except pursuant to Section 5.1(e)(i), no Member shall be obligated to make any cash or non-cash contribution to the Company’s capital. Except with the approval of the Board and subject to compliance with Section 4.10 and Section 5.4, and except as pursuant to Section 5.1(e)(i), no Member shall be permitted to make any cash or non-cash contribution to the Company’s capital.

5.7          Capital Accounts.
 
(a)          The Company shall establish and maintain a separate capital account (each a “Capital Account”) for each Member in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and this Section 5.7(a) shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such regulations.  No Member shall have any obligation to restore any portion of any deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account, whether upon liquidation of its interest in the Company, liquidation of the Company or otherwise.  From and after the date of this Agreement, each Member’s Capital Account shall be credited with (i) the amount of any money contributed by such Member to the capital of the Company, (ii) the Fair Market Value of any property contributed (or deemed contributed, whether by the terms of this Agreement or upon a determination by the Board) by such Member, as determined by the Board and the contributing Member at arm’s length at the time of contribution (net of liabilities assumed by the Company or subject to which the Company takes such property), (iii) such Member’s share of Net Profits (or items of income or gain) and (iv) the amount of any Company liabilities that are considered assumed by such Member or which are secured by any property distributed to such Member.  Each Member’s Capital Account shall be decreased by (x) the amount of any money actually distributed (or deemed distributed, including pursuant to Section 6.4), (y) the Fair Market Value of any property distributed to such Member at the time of distribution and (z) such Member’s share of Net Loss (or items of loss, expense or deduction).
 
41

(b)          If any Units or other interest in the Company (or portion thereof) is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent such Capital Account is attributable to Transferred Units or other interest in the Company (or portion thereof).
 
ARTICLE VI
ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
6.1          Allocations.
 
(a)          Allocations to Capital Accounts.  After giving effect to the allocations set forth in Section 6.1(b), the Net Profit and Net Loss of the Company, including each item of income, gain, loss, credit and deduction, for each Fiscal Year or other applicable period, shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Member, immediately after giving effect to such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to (1) the amount of the distributions that would be made to such Member during such Fiscal Year or other applicable period if: (i) the Company were dissolved and terminated; (ii) its affairs were wound up and each Company asset was sold for cash equal to its Book Value (except that any Company asset that is sold in such Fiscal Year shall be treated as if sold for an amount of cash equal to the sum of (A) the amount of any net cash proceeds actually received by the Company in connection with such disposition and (B) the Book Value of any property actually received by the Company in connection with such disposition); (iii) all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Book Value of the assets securing such liability); (iv) all Unvested Class B Units became Vested Class B Units; and (v) the net assets of the Company were distributed in accordance with Section 11.1 to the Members immediately after giving effect to such allocation minus (2) such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets, and the amount any such Member is treated as obligated to contribute to the Company, computed immediately after the hypothetical sale of assets.
 
(b)          The following special allocations shall be made in the following order prior to any allocations under Section 6.1(a):
 
(i)          Company Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g).  Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto.  The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2).  This Section 6.1(b)(i) is intended to comply with the partnership minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted and applied consistently therewith.
 
42

(ii)          Member Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, any Member with a share of that Member Minimum Gain attributable to such a Member Nonrecourse Debt (as determined under Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5)) as of the beginning of the year shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4).  Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto.  The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2).  This Section 6.1(b)(ii) is intended to comply with the partner minimum gain chargeback requirements in the Regulations and shall be interpreted and applied consistently therewith.
 
(iii)          Qualified Income Offset.  In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.1(b)(iii) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided in this Article VI have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.1(b)(iii) were not in this Agreement.  This Section 6.1(b)(iii) is intended to comply with the qualified income offset provision in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted and applied consistently therewith.
 
(iv)          Gross Income Allocation.  In the event any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year that is in excess of the amount that such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.1(b)(iv) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided in this Article VI have been tentatively made as if Section 6.1(b)(iii) and this Section 6.1(b)(iv) were not in this Agreement.
 
(v)          Nonrecourse Deductions.  Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Members in proportion to their ownership of Class A Units and each Member’s share of excess Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated in the same manner.
 
(vi)          Member Nonrecourse Deductions.  Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.752-3.  If more than one Member bears the economic risk of loss for a Member Nonrecourse Debt, any Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable to that Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated among the Members according to the ratio in which they bear the economic risk of loss.
 
43

(vii)          Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss.  To the extent that any allocation of Net Loss (or items of loss or deduction) would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to any Member, such allocation of Net Loss (or items of loss or deduction) shall be reallocated to the holders of Class A Units in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests as determined by the Company, subject to the limitations of this Section 6.1(b)(vii).
 
(viii)          Code Section 754 Adjustments.  To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Sections 734(b) or 743(b) is required following an election pursuant to Section 7.3(a), pursuant to Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or (4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as a result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of its interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Sections of Regulations.
 
(c)          Construction.  If the Board determines that it is necessary or appropriate to modify the manner in which the balances of the Capital Accounts are computed or the items of Net Profits and Net Losses are determined in order to comply with the requirements of Section 704(b) of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, the Board may make such modification.
 
6.2          Tax Allocations.
 
(a)          Items of Company income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated, for United States federal, state, and local income tax purposes, among the Members in the same manner as the items of income, gain, loss and deduction were allocated pursuant to the other sections of this Article VI; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall cause income, gain, loss and deductions (including any depreciation and/or cost recovery deductions) attributable to property contributed by a Member or revalued by the Company to be allocated among the Members for income tax purposes in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and Regulations promulgated thereunder using the traditional allocation method described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b).  Subject to the preceding sentence, the Board shall make such allocations for tax purposes, including allocations required under Code Section 704(c) and Regulations promulgated thereunder, as it determines in its reasonable discretion to be appropriate to ensure allocations are made in accordance with a Member’s interest in the Company.
 
(b)          Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.2 are solely for purposes of United States federal, state, and local tax purposes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction.
 
44

(c)          The Members are aware of the tax consequences of the allocations made by this Section 6.2 and agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 6.2 in reporting their shares of items of Company income, gain, loss and deduction.
 
(d)          In the event there is any change of a Member’s interest in the Company during any Fiscal Year, Net Profit and Net Loss of the Company and other items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company attributable to such Member’s interest for such Fiscal Year shall be determined using the interim closing of the books method.
 
6.3          No Right to Distributions.  No Member shall have the right to demand or receive Distributions of any amount, except as expressly provided in this Article VI.
 
6.4          Distributions.  Subject to Section 4.10 and Section 6.6, the Company shall make distributions to the Members at the discretion of the Board or promptly following the receipt of proceeds from a Liquidity Event in which the Company receives proceeds of such Liquidity Event (and upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, all amounts received by the Company from such Liquidity Event reduced by existing liabilities and expenses of the Company and a reasonable reserve established by the Board for future liabilities and expenses), such amount to be distributed or paid in the following order and priority:
 
(a)          first, to the Class A Holders in proportion to their Unreturned Capital in respect of such Class A Units, until such time as they have received cumulative Distributions under this Section 6.4(a) equal to all of their Capital Contributions, and no Distribution shall be made pursuant to paragraphs (b), (c) or (d) below until the aggregate Unreturned Capital of all Class A Units is equal to zero;
 
(b)          second, to the Class A Holders in proportion to their unpaid Priority Returns until such time as they have received cumulative Distributions under this Section 6.4(b) equal to their Priority Return, and no Distribution shall be made pursuant to paragraphs (c) or (d) below until the full amount of all Priority Returns have been distributed to all Class A Holders;
 
 
(c)          third, except as provided below in Section 6.5, to Management Holdco in respect of its Class B Units until such time as it has received in respect of such Class B Units an amount equal to (i) the Class B Percentage multiplied by (ii) the sum of (1) all Distributions to the Class A Holders pursuant to Section 6.4(b) and (2) all Distributions pursuant to this Section 6.4(c); and
 
(d)          thereafter, except as provided below in Section 6.5, to the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
 
In connection with any Liquidity Event pursuant to which all or some of the Units are sold or transferred directly to one or more purchasers, any proceeds payable to the Persons that were Members as of immediately prior to the consummation of such Liquidity Event shall be allocated and paid to the Members in accordance with the order and priority set forth in this Section 6.4.
 
45

6.5          Distributions to Holders of Class B Units.
 
(a)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each holder of Class B Units shall be entitled to participate in Distributions pursuant to Section 6.4 only after cumulative Distributions to Class A Units and Class B Units with a lower Distribution Hurdle pursuant to this Agreement exceed the Distribution Hurdle applicable to such Class B Unit (each Class B Unit that has become entitled to participate in Distributions in accordance with this Section 6.5(a), a “Participating Class B Unit”).
 
(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, a Member holding an Unvested Class B Unit shall only be entitled to receive a Distribution in respect of such Unvested Class B Unit in an amount equal to the Tax Distributions (if any) made with respect to such Unvested Class B Unit, in accordance with Section 6.6.  The amount of any Distributions that, but for the preceding sentence, would be made in respect of Unvested Class B Units pursuant to Section 6.4 shall instead be made to the Members holding Class A Units and Vested Class B Units that are Participating Class B Units in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.  Following the vesting of any Unvested Class B Unit (such that it becomes a Vested Class B Unit), the Management Holdco Class B Holder holding such Vested Class B Unit shall thereafter be entitled to receive a “catch up distribution” from any funds being distributed under Section 6.4, at the time such funds are distributed and before any other amounts are distributed pursuant to Section 6.4, of the amount such Management Holdco Class B Holder would have received if such Vested Class B Units were vested on their date of grant.
 
(c)          The Members acknowledge that Class B Units that are not Participating Class B Units may become Participating Class B Units as a result of distributions to Class A Holders under Section 6.4(b). Such Class B Units shall only be entitled to receive distributions under Section 6.4(c) with respect to the distributions to the Class A Holders under Section 6.4(b) after such time as such Class B Units became Participating Class B Units. In addition, no distributions will be made under Section 6.4(c) with respect to any Unvested Class B Units which became Vested Class B Units as a result of distributions under Section 6.4(c).  Any distributions not distributable to Class B Units pursuant to this Section 6.5(c) shall not otherwise be distributed with respect to Class B Units under Section 6.4(c).
 
6.6          Tax Distributions.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, so long as the Company is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, the Company shall, subject to having cash available after taking into account reserves as reasonably determined in the good-faith discretion of the Board and subject to Section 6.8, make quarterly advance cash distributions to each Member in an amount equal to the Member’s Quarterly Estimated Tax Amount for such quarter (“Tax Distributions”), and the Board shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Tax Distributions to be made at least five (5) days before estimated U.S. federal income tax payments for individuals are due.  If, on the date of a quarterly estimated distribution, the cash available to the Company (as determined in the good-faith discretion of the Board) is not sufficient to distribute to each Member the full amount of such Member’s Tax Distribution that would otherwise be required under this Section 6.6, then (A) distributions shall be made by the Company to the Members pursuant to this Section 6.6 to the extent of the cash so available in proportion to the amounts that would have been distributed to each Member pursuant to this Section 6.6 if there had been a sufficient amount of cash available to the Company to make such Tax Distribution in full, (B) the Company shall make future distributions as soon as reasonably practicable following the date on which there exists an amount of cash available to the Company after taking into account reserves as determined in the good-faith discretion of the Board sufficient to pay the remaining portion of such Member’s required Tax Distribution and (C) the Company shall not, until the remaining portion of each such Member’s required Tax Distribution is so distributed, make a Distribution other than pursuant to this sentence.  The Company shall make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any financing documents allow for full Tax Distributions.  Each Tax Distribution made to a Member pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be treated as an advance against, and thus reduce, the amount of the next succeeding Distribution or Distributions which would otherwise have been paid to such Member pursuant to Section 6.4 or Section 11.1, if applicable.

46

6.7          Withholding.  The Company at all times shall be entitled to make payments with respect to each Member in amounts required to discharge any obligation of the Company to withhold or make payments to any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority with respect to any distribution or allocation of income or gain or otherwise with respect to such Member and to withhold (or deduct) the same from distributions to such Member.  Any funds withheld from a distribution or paid in respect of a Member (including related tax credits or benefits to which such Member may be entitled as a result of any payment by the Company to any taxing authority and the portion of any imputed underpayment (as determined under Code Section 6225) attributable to such Member) by reason of this Section 6.7 shall be treated as actually distributed to such Member for all purposes of this Agreement.  If the Company makes any payment to a taxing authority in respect of a Member (including the portion of any imputed underpayment (as determined under Code Section 6225) attributable to such Member) that is not withheld from actual distributions to the Member, then the Member shall indemnify and reimburse the Company for the amount of such payment (including any interest, penalties and related expenses), on demand.  The amount of a Member’s indemnification and reimbursement obligations under this Section 6.7, to the extent not paid, shall bear interest at a rate of the Prime Rate as of such due date, and shall be deducted from the distributions to such Member; any amounts so deducted shall constitute a repayment of such Member’s obligation hereunder.  Each Member’s indemnification and reimbursement obligations under this Section 6.7 shall survive a transfer by such Member of its interest in the Company, a withdrawal by such Member and a winding up or dissolution of the Company.  Each Member agrees to furnish the Company with any representations, forms, documentation and other information reasonably requested by the Company to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, any withholding obligations it may have.  Each Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from and against any liability with respect to taxes, interest, penalties and related expenses that may be asserted by reason of the failure to deduct and withhold tax on amounts distributable or allocable to such Member.  Any amount payable as indemnity hereunder by a Member will be paid promptly to the Company or such other Member, as applicable, and if not so paid, the Company will be entitled to retain or otherwise offset any distributions due to such Member for all such amounts. Any income taxes, penalties and interest payable by the Company (including any entity-level tax incurred by the Company and creditable against an individual’s personal tax liability, including, but not limited to, state taxes described in Internal Revenue Service Notice 2020-75) shall be treated as specifically attributable to the Members and shall be allocated among the Members such that the burden of (or any diminution in distributable proceeds resulting from) any such taxes, penalties or interest is borne by those Members to whom such amounts are specifically attributable (whether as a result of their status, actions, inactions or otherwise), in each case as reasonably determined by the Board, which shall take into account for this purpose any special tax treatment or status of a Member or its indirect owners.

47

6.8          Restrictions on Distributions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, no Distribution or Tax Distribution shall be made if, and for so long as, such Distribution or Tax Distribution would violate (x) any Law then applicable to the Company or (y) any contractual covenant or agreement between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any third-party lender or other bona fide third-party source of financing.
 
6.9          Determinations by the Board.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than Section 6.2), in the event the Board determines that it would be prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts and the allocation of net income or loss (including items thereof, and other tax items) are computed in order to effectuate the intended economic sharing arrangement of the Members or to comply with Section 704 and the Regulations thereunder, the Board may make such modification; provided that, to the extent such a modification has a material disproportionate economic impact on an Investor, the Board shall provide reasonable advance written notice to such impacted Investor of the intended modification (together with any written analysis and information available substantiating such modification) and provide such Investor with a reasonable opportunity to comment on such modification.
 
ARTICLE VII
ACCOUNTS
7.1          Books.  The Board shall cause to be maintained complete and accurate books of account of the Company’s affairs at the Company’s principal place of business.  Such books shall be kept on such method of accounting as the Board shall select.  For purposes of the Company’s financial statements, the Company’s assets and liabilities and statements of operations and cash flows shall be prepared in conformity with GAAP.  The Company’s accounting period shall be as determined by the Board.  The books of account of the Company shall be closed after the close of each Fiscal Year.
 
7.2          Information Rights.
 
(a)         For so long as a Member owns any Class A Units, the Company shall afford such Member and its Representatives access during normal business hours to (i) the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ properties, (ii) the corporate, financial and similar records, reports and documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including all books and records and (iii) any officers and senior employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries and provide such Member and its Representatives the opportunity to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company with such officers and senior employees, in each case, (y) for the proper business purposes related to the Company and its Subsidiaries or in order to comply with applicable Law and (z) in such manner as to not interfere with the normal business operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
 
(b)         For so long as a Member owns any Class A Units, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such Member:
 
48

(i)          within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each Fiscal Year (or such longer period of time as is approved by the Board), an audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the end of such Fiscal Year and the related consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of Members’ equity and consolidated statement of cash flows including all footnotes thereto for such Fiscal Year prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied; and
 
(ii)          within sixty (60) days after the end of each quarterly accounting period, an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the end of such quarterly accounting period and an unaudited related consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of Members’ equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for such quarterly accounting period prepared in accordance with GAAP (excluding footnotes and normal year-end adjustments), consistently applied.
 
(c)          Each applicable Member shall (i) bear all expenses incurred in any examination requested by such Member and (ii) obtain written confidentiality agreements in customary form from any agent, employee or certified public accountant auditing or examining the books of account of the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 7.2.
 
(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.2, the Company shall not be obligated to provide any Member with access to any information to the extent the Board reasonably believes that disclosure would violate applicable Law, or impair attorney-client or other legal privilege; provided that, the Company and the requesting Member shall cooperate in good faith to permit disclosure of such information in a manner that does not result in such a violation, breach or impairment.
 
7.3          Tax Matters.
 
(a)          The Company shall arrange for the preparation of all income and other Tax Returns of the Company and shall cause the same to be filed in a timely manner.  For each Fiscal Year for which the Company is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to furnish to each Member, an IRS Schedule K-1 (or any successor form and any corresponding form and schedule required to be issued under state or local income tax law) with respect to such Member no later than March 15 following each tax year (other than the first tax year of the Company) and shall furnish such IRS Schedule K-1(or any successor form and any corresponding form and schedule required to be issued under state or local income tax law) to such Member no later than March 31 following each tax year; provided, that with respect to any Fiscal Year in which the Company disposes of an interest in any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall make commercially reasonable efforts to furnish an IRS Schedule K-1 (or any successor form and any corresponding form and schedule required to be issued under state or local income tax law) with respect to each Member no later than March 31 following each tax year and otherwise shall do so as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable.  In addition, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to provide, to the extent reasonably available, such other information as a Member may reasonably request for purposes of complying with tax reporting requirements applicable to such Member.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.10 and Section 9.2(c), at the discretion of the Board, the Company shall be entitled to make any tax elections allowed under the Code or the tax laws of any state or other jurisdiction having taxing jurisdiction over the Company and monitor any governmental tax authority in any audit that such authority may conduct of the Company’s books and records or other documents.  The Company shall, if requested by a Member, elect, in accordance with Code Section 754, to adjust basis in the event any interest of the Company is transferred in accordance with this Agreement or any Company property is distributed to any Member.
 
49

(b)          At the request of the Company, each Member shall, to the extent it is reasonably able to, provide the Company with such information, representations, waivers, certificates, duly completed forms and other documentation as is reasonably necessary for the Company or its Affiliates to comply with any withholding, reporting or other tax obligation; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Member shall be required to provide information with respect to any direct or indirect owner of such Member, except to the extent that such information is reasonably available to the applicable Member, is not subject to any non-disclosure restrictions imposed by contractual obligations or policies of the applicable Member, and such information is necessary for the Company and/or its Subsidiaries to comply with any applicable tax filing obligations (including determining whether any Subsidiary of the Company has had an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder).
 
(c)          The Members intend that the Company shall be treated as a partnership for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, and the Company shall not elect, and the Board shall not permit the Company to elect, to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal, state or local income tax purposes under Regulations Section 301.7701-3 or under any corresponding provision of state or local law.  Each Member and the Company shall file all Tax Returns consistent with such treatment.  This characterization, solely for such tax purposes, does not create or imply a general partnership among the Members for any other purpose.
 
(d)          BridgeBio shall act as the “partnership representative” as defined in Section 6223 of the Code (or corresponding provisions of state or local law) (the “Partnership Representative”) in connection with any tax audit or other tax proceeding, and shall appoint an individual to act as a “designated individual” on behalf, and subject to the direction and control of, the Partnership Representative in accordance with Treasury Regulation 301.6223-1. The Partnership Representative shall have the power and authority to perform in such capacity those duties as may be required to be performed by the “partnership representative” under the Code (and in any similar capacity under state or local Law), and to expend Company funds for reasonable out-of-pocket professional services and costs associated therewith. The Partnership Representative shall advise and consult with the Board from time to time regarding the status of tax-related elections, investigations, proceedings and negotiations with Governmental Authorities.
 
(e)          If the Company becomes the subject of any audit, assessment or other examination relating to taxes by any tax authority or any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to taxes (a “Tax Audit”), each Member agrees to cooperate with the Board and the Partnership Representative and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably required by them to conduct such Tax Audit (including to implement any modifications to any imputed underpayment or similar amount under Section 6225(c) of the Code, any elections under Sections 6221 or 6226 of the Code and any administrative adjustment request under Section 6227 of the Code)). The Partnership Representative shall provide each Member with any information reasonably requested by such Member with respect to such Tax Audit; provided that the Partnership Representative shall not settle any such Tax Audit without a Member’s prior written consent if such Member would be materially, disproportionately and adversely impacted by such settlement of such Tax Audit (as reasonably determined by the Board).

(f)          Notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if any “partnership adjustment” (as defined in the Code) is determined with respect to the Company and the Partnership Representative has not caused the Company to elect pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code to have such adjustment passed through to the Members for the year to which the adjustment relates, then any “imputed underpayment” (as determined in accordance with Section 6225 of the Code) or “partnership adjustment” that does not give rise to an “imputed underpayment” shall be apportioned among the Members of the Company for the taxable year in which the adjustment is finalized in such manner as may be necessary (as determined by the Partnership Representative in good faith after consulting with the Company’s accountants, tax return preparers or other advisers, taking into account any differences in the amount of taxes attributable to each Member because of such Member’s status, nationality or other characteristics) so that, to the maximum extent possible, the tax and economic consequences of the partnership adjustment or imputed underpayment are borne by the Members in the same manner as they would have been borne had the adjustment or imputed underpayment been properly reflected on the Company’s tax returns for the year(s) to which the adjustment relates.  In furtherance of the foregoing, in the event the Company is liable for any “imputed underpayment” which is apportioned to a Member under the foregoing rules for the applicable year, such Member shall promptly reimburse the Company for such amount and such reimbursement shall not be considered a Capital Contribution to the Company by such Member.  The Partnership Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to such Member information allowing such Member to file an amended federal income tax return or to follow an alternative procedure to filing an amended federal income tax return, as described in Section 6225(c)(2)(B) of the Code.
 
(g)          The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company (i) not to engage in any activity that would cause a Member (or any direct or indirect beneficial owner thereof, as applicable) that is not a United States person within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30) (A) to recognize, solely as a result of its status as a Member (or any direct or indirect owner thereof, as applicable) of the Company, income that is “effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States” within the meaning of Code Section 864(c) of the Code, or (B) to be treated as engaged in a “trade or business within the United States” within the meaning of Section 864(b) of the Code, (ii) not to engage in any activity that would cause a Member (or any direct or indirect beneficial owner thereof, as applicable) to be treated as engaged in commercial activities or recognize income that is treated as derived from the conduct of any commercial activity, in each case within the meaning of Section 892 of the Code and (iii) not to engage in any conduct that would cause a Member (or any direct or indirect beneficial owner thereof, as applicable), shall be deemed to have “unrelated business taxable income” as defined in Section 512 of the Code (including pursuant to the application of Section 514 of the Code).  The Company shall provide the Members with timely written notice if the Company reasonably believes the Company may be treated as engaged in any activity described in the immediately preceding sentence.  The Members acknowledge and agree that the actions and activities of the Company contemplated as of the date of this Agreement are not inconsistent with the foregoing limitations on the activities of the Company.
 
51

(h)          At the reasonable written request of any Member, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide such Member with any certificate reasonably necessary to mitigate any tax withholding obligations pursuant to a Transfer, including pursuant to Section 1445 or Section 1446 of the Code.
 
7.4          Fiscal Year.  The fiscal year of the Company (the “Fiscal Year”) for financial statement and federal income tax purposes shall end on December 31 of each calendar year, except as otherwise may be required under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder.

55

(b)          The Non-Transferring Members shall have a right of first offer with respect to any proposed Unrelated Party Transfer by a Transferring Member; provided that each Non-Transferring Member shall have the right to purchase such Non-Transferring Member’s ROFO Portion of the Offered Units.  A Non-Transferring Member’s “ROFO Portion” is an amount obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Offered Units by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class A Units then held by such Non-Transferring Member and the denominator of which is the number of Class A Units then issued and outstanding.  Each time the Transferring Member proposes to Transfer any Offered Units in an Unrelated Party Transfer, the Transferring Member shall first make an offering of the Offered Units to the Non-Transferring Members in accordance with this Section 8.7. Each Non-Transferring Members may exercise its right of first offer within sixty (60) days following their receipt of a ROFO Sale Notice (such period, the “ROFO Election Period”) by delivering to the Transferring Member a written offer to purchase its ROFO Portion of the Offered Units (the “ROFO Offer”), which ROFO Offer sets forth the proposed purchase price and all other material terms and conditions pursuant to which such Non-Transferring Member is willing to purchase the Offered Units. Any ROFO Offer shall be binding and irrevocable for the duration of the applicable ROFO Acceptance Period.
 
(c)          If any Non-Transferring Member delivers a ROFO Offer pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.7(b) within the ROFO Election Period, then the Transferring Member may (but shall have no obligation to) accept or reject, for any or no reason, such ROFO Offer during the thirty (30) day period after receipt by the Transferring Member of a ROFO Offer from such Non-Transferring Member (the “ROFO Acceptance Period”); provided that, if the Transferring Member does not accept, or fails to respond to, any ROFO Offer within the ROFO Acceptance Period, then it shall be deemed to have rejected such ROFO Offer. If the Transferring Member accepts any ROFO Offer, the Transferring Member shall notify the applicable Non-Transferring Members of such acceptance in a written notice (a “ROFO Acceptance Notice”). Following the delivery of a ROFO Acceptance Notice, the Transferring Member and the applicable Non-Transferring Members shall negotiate in good faith to complete the sale, purchase and Transfer of (and payment for) the relevant Offered Units at the same price and on the same other terms and conditions of Transfer as set forth in the applicable ROFO Offer within ninety (90) days after the delivery of the ROFO Acceptance Notice.

Exercise of the Call Right shall not be deemed to limit any other rights or remedies of the Company or any of its Affiliates relating to any conduct constituting Cause.
 
(b)          Call Notice.  The Company may exercise its Call Right by delivery of a written notice to Management Holdco and the applicable Management Holder of the Company’s election to exercise its Call Right on or prior to the Call Notice Deadline and setting forth the categories and number of Called Units it will purchase (the “Call Notice”).

At the Management Repurchase Closing, all of the parties to the transaction shall execute such additional documents as are otherwise necessary or appropriate.
 
(d)          Other.  Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 8.8 to the contrary, the Company shall not purchase any Called Units pursuant to the Call Right until the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the issuance or vesting of such Called Units, whichever is later, and in the event that any Called Units subject to the Call Right were issued or vested within the six (6) months immediately preceding the Call Notice Deadline, then the Call Notice Deadline shall become the date that is thirty (30) Business Days following the expiration of such six (6) month period.
 
8.9          Tag-Along Rights.
 
(a)          General.  Subject to Section 8.10 and the other terms of this Agreement, if at any time prior to the consummation of a Qualified IPO or a Change of Control, any Member proposes to Transfer, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions, Class A Units then held by such Member (“Tag-Along Seller”) representing in excess of one percent (1%) of the Class A Units then issued and outstanding] (the “Offered Tag Units”) (a “Tag-Along Sale”), to a Person other than one of such Member’s Permitted Transferees (the “Tag-Along Purchaser(s)”), then each other Member holding Class A Units (each a “Tag-Along Rightholder”) shall have the right (the “Tag-Along Right”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8.9 and Section 8.11, to sell to such Tag-Along Purchaser such Tag-Along Rightholder’s Tag-Along Portion of its Class A Units in such Tag-Along Sale.  A Tag-Along Rightholder’s “Tag-Along Portion” is an amount obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Offered Tag Units in a Tag-Along Sale by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Class A Units then held by such Tag-Along Rightholder and the denominator of which is the number of Class A Units then issued and outstanding.
 
(b)          Procedure.  The Tag-Along Seller shall give written notice (the “Sale Notice”) to each Tag-Along Rightholder of any Tag-Along Sale giving rise to the rights pursuant to this Section 8.9 at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the proposed consummation of such sale, setting forth the material terms of the proposed Tag-Along Sale, including in reasonable detail (to the extent known or available) (A) the number of Offered Tag Units proposed to be sold by the Tag-Along Seller, (B) the maximum number of Class A Units that may be sold by such Tag-Along Rightholder, (C) the identity of the proposed Tag-Along Purchaser, (D) the proposed amount and form of consideration and other material terms and conditions offered by such Tag-Along Purchaser, (E) the proposed date and time of the closing of the Tag-Along Sale, (F) a copy of the form of Transfer agreement proposed to be executed in connection with the Tag-Along Sale and (G) a representation that such Tag-Along Purchaser has been informed of the rights provided for in this Section 8.9.  The rights provided by this Section 8.9 must be exercised by any Tag-Along Rightholder within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of the Sale Notice (the “Tag-Along Period”), by delivery of an irrevocable written notice (the “Tag-Along Election Notice”) to the Tag-Along Seller indicating such Tag-Along Rightholder’s (each a “Tagging Member”) election to exercise its rights, in whole or in part, pursuant to this Section 8.9 and specifying the number of Class A Units to be sold by such Tagging Member in the Tag-Along Sale or indicating that the Tagging Member wants to sell all of the Tagging Member’s Class A Units that it is permitted to sell (calculated in accordance with Section 8.9(a)).  Any Tag-Along Rightholder may waive its rights under this Section 8.9 with respect to any Tag-Along Sale prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) Business Day period by giving written notice to the Tag-Along Seller, with a copy to the Company. Each Tag-Along Rightholder who does not timely deliver a Tag-Along Election Notice shall be deemed to have waived its right to participate in such Tag-Along Sale.
 
58

(c)          Reduction of Class A Units Transferred.  The Tag-Along Seller shall attempt to obtain the inclusion in the proposed Tag-Along Sale of the entire number of Class A Units which each of the Tagging Members shall have requested to be included in the Tag-Along Sale (as evidenced, in the case of the Tag-Along Seller, by the Sale Notice and, in the case of each Tagging Member, by such Tagging Member’s Tag-Along Election Notice).  In the event that the Tag-Along Seller shall be unable to obtain the inclusion of such entire number of Class A Units in the proposed Tag-Along Sale, the number of Class A Units to be sold in the proposed Tag-Along Sale shall be allocated among the Tag-Along Seller and the Tagging Members in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective number of shares of Class A Units specified for Transfer in accordance with this Section 8.9 by the Tag-Along Seller and each Tagging Member (as evidenced, in the case of the Tag-Along Seller, by the Sale Notice and, in the case of each Tagging Member, by such Tagging Member’s Tag-Along Election Notice).
 
(d)          Terms and Consideration.  In connection with any Tag-Along Sale, subject to Section 8.11, each Tagging Member shall receive the same per unit consideration (including in respect of the amount and form of consideration) for any of its Class A Units that are actually included in the Tag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 8.9.  Each Tagging Member shall otherwise be entitled to participate in such Tag-Along Sale on terms and conditions no less favorable in any material respect than those that apply to the Tag-Along Seller.  The consideration to be paid in respect of the Class A Units owned by a Tagging Member that are actually included in such Tag-Along Sale in accordance with this Section 8.9 shall be an amount equal to the aggregate amount that would be distributed to such Tagging Member pursuant to Section 6.4 in respect of such Class A Units in a hypothetical liquidation of the Company, which aggregate liquidation value of the Company shall be based on the aggregate purchase price to be paid in respect of the Class A Units proposed to be sold by the Tag-Along Rightholders in the Tag-Along Sale.
 
(e)          Consummation of Tag-Along Sale.  The Tag-Along Seller shall have sixty (60) days following the expiration of the Tag‑Along Period in which to consummate the Tag-Along Sale, on terms not more favorable to the Tag-Along Seller than those set forth in the Sale Notice (which such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed ninety (90) days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain required approvals or consents from any Governmental Authority).  If at the end of such period the Tag-Along Seller has not completed the Tag-Along Sale, the Tag-Along Seller may not then effect a Transfer that is subject to this Section 8.9 without again fully complying with the provisions of this Section 8.9.

(b)          Effect of Conversion Transaction.  Prior to or upon consummation of a Qualified IPO involving a Conversion Transaction, this Agreement shall be replaced by a stockholders agreement (or agreements) executed by the Company Offeror and the Members containing terms and conditions substantially similar to those set forth herein, except that all references to the Class A Units and the Class B Units, respectively, in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the corresponding class, series or tranche of equity securities, as applicable, into which such Class A Units, and Class B Units were converted or exchanged in such Conversion Transaction, respectively, and all references to the Company herein shall be deemed to refer to the Company’s successor.  The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company Offeror shall be in such form as is approved by the Board; provided that they do not conflict with or vary the terms and conditions of the replacement agreement (or agreements) described in the preceding sentence, and provided, further, that the certificate of incorporation of the Company Offeror shall contain a corporate opportunity provision substantially similar to the one contained in Section 4.9(a)-(c) and provisions reflecting the Company Offeror’s election to not be governed by Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (or similar provision, if the Company Offeror is incorporated in a jurisdiction other than Delaware).  The terms of any such stockholders agreement (or agreements) to be entered into among the Company Offeror and the Members in connection with a Conversion Transaction shall, to the extent practicable and permitted by applicable Law, rule, regulation or historical standard, and except as otherwise provided herein, replicate the provisions of this Agreement with respect to (i) the Board designation rights set forth in Article IV (except to the extent that any of the rights granted therein would be inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Company Offeror’s securities will be traded or quoted after the Qualified IPO, in which case the rights granted herein shall be replicated to the greatest extent practicable consistent with the requirements of such exchange), (ii) the exculpation and indemnification provisions set forth in Article XII and (iii) the amendment provisions set forth in Article XIII, in each case, with appropriate modification to reflect the corporate structure of the Company Offeror.

(c)          Cooperation of Members.  In connection with and in order to facilitate a Qualified IPO and any related Conversion Transaction, each Member shall take all such action as is reasonably necessary (including making any applicable tax elections or the voting of all equity interests in the Company Offeror owned by such person) in order to effect amendments to the Company Offeror’s organizational documents as are customary for a company which is to engage in an initial public offering of its equity securities and which are reasonably requested by the managing underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the equity securities of the Company Offeror in connection with such offering and any Conversion Transaction; provided, however, that no Member holding a certain type or class of Units shall be required to take any actions not required from the other Members holding the same type or class of Units.  Each Member hereby (i) consents to any such Conversion Transaction or exchange of Units involving a Company Offeror and (ii) agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver any further agreements, documents or instruments requested by the Company (or any successor thereto) reasonably necessary or customary in connection with this Section 9.1.
 
(d)          Qualified IPO of Company Offeror.  If the Qualified IPO is structured as an offering of the securities of a Company Offeror other than the Company, then this Agreement shall remain in place, substantially on the terms set forth herein, except that: (i) this Agreement shall be amended to (A) provide for (I) the exchange of Class A Units for shares of common stock of the Company Offeror; provided that such exchange shall be effected in a manner consistent with Section 9.2 and (II) the treatment of Class B Units in connection with such Qualified IPO as determined by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Applicable Class B Unit Agreements, (B) adjust the provisions of this Agreement relating to Distributions and allocations to the extent necessary to permit the exchange of Class A Units and treatment of Class B Units contemplated by clause (A) immediately above, and (C) make such other changes as the Board determines to be reasonable and prudent to facilitate such Qualified IPO of such Company Offeror’s securities without adversely affecting the relative rights of any Member hereunder in a manner disproportionate (recognizing the priorities and preferences of the Units held by any Member relative to the Units held by any similarly situated Member as of the date hereof as set forth in Section 6.4) as compared to the relative rights of other Members similarly situated; and (ii) the Company shall enter into arrangements with such Company Offeror, in such form as the Board shall deem appropriate, providing for the exercise by the Company of registration rights no less favorable than the registration rights described in Section 9.3 with respect to the common stock or other equity securities of such Company Offeror to be received by the Members upon exchange of Class A Units of the Company; provided that no Member shall have any registration rights hereunder or pursuant to the registration rights described in Section 9.3 or otherwise with respect to Class B Units.  Upon any exchange of Class A Units (and Class B Units, if applicable) for shares of capital stock of such Company Offeror, such Units shall no longer be subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall instead become subject to the terms of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of such Company Offeror.  Notwithstanding the consummation of a Qualified IPO effected by a Company Offeror (other than the Company), the rights to Distributions and allocations set forth in Article VI, in a Qualified IPO structured as an “UP-C”, the exculpation and indemnification rights and obligations of the Company and the Members set forth in Article XII and the amendment provisions set forth in Article XIII shall each survive such Qualified IPO and continue to apply to the Units under this Agreement.

(b)          Acknowledgment.  If a Qualified IPO is effected, in whole or in part, by means of a public offering of the securities of a Company Offeror that is a Subsidiary of the Company that is a holding company for all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its other Subsidiaries, each of the Members and the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Qualified IPO shall be effected to the greatest extent practicable in a manner that gives effect to this Section 9.2.
 
(c)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than in connection with a Qualified IPO, without the prior written consent of the Fund Investors, the Company (i) shall not effectuate a Conversion Transaction and (ii) shall take any actions, including refraining from making an election to be treated as a corporation, as may be required to ensure that at all times the Company is classified as partnership for United States federal income tax purposes.

72

14.4        Entire Agreement and Waiver.  This Agreement, together with all exhibits and schedules hereto and all other agreements referenced herein and therein, shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior contracts, agreements, discussions and understandings between them.  No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to modify, amend, waive, rescind or otherwise impact the terms of the Transaction Agreement.  Any waiver (express or implied) of any default or breach of this Agreement must be in writing and shall not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach.

14.5        Conflict between This Agreement and Class B Unit Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of a conflict between any term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of any Applicable Class B Unit Agreement or the Management Holdco Operating Agreement, the Board acting in good faith shall be entitled to resolve such conflict.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Member who holds only Class B Units shall have any right to receive or review a copy of Schedule A or Schedule B to this Agreement (except for information on Schedule A or Schedule B that relates solely to such Member) or obtain other information about the identities of the other Members or the size or nature of their interests in the Company; provided, however, that any Person may view a copy of Schedule A or Schedule B if the Board determines that it is reasonably necessary for such Person to perform his or her duties in connection with the Company.

14.6        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one agreement binding on the parties hereto.  Transmission of an executed counterpart by electronic transmission of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart, and such signatures shall be deemed original signatures for purposes of the enforcement and construction of this Agreement.

14.7        Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability; provided, however, that the remaining provisions will continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way unless such invalid or unenforceable provision or clause shall be so significant as to materially affect the Members’ expectations regarding this Agreement.  Otherwise, the Members agree to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid or unenforceable provision.

14.8          Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.
 
73

(a)          This Agreement, and all claims, causes of action and disputes (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, or whether at law (including at common law or by statute) or in equity) that may be based on, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution, performance or subject matter hereof, shall be governed by the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and to be performed solely therein, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

(c)          EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY BE BASED UPON, ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT: (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (II) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THE FOREGOING WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 14.8.

74

14.11     No Third-Party Beneficiary.  This Agreement is made solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and no other Person shall have any rights, interest, or claims hereunder or otherwise be entitled to any benefits under or on account of this Agreement as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise, except for the rights of the Member Related Parties pursuant to Section 14.12 or any Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 12.2.

14.12     Nonrecourse.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case of fraud, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any action, dispute, claim, suit or other proceeding for breach of this Agreement may only be made against, the entities that are expressly identified herein as parties and none of the former, current and future Affiliates, directors, officers, managers, employees, advisors, representatives, shareholders, members, managers, partners, successors and assigns of a Member or any Affiliate thereof or any former, current and future Affiliate, director, officer, manager, employee, advisor, representative, shareholder, member, manager, partners, successor and assign of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Member Related Parties”) shall have any liability for any liabilities or obligations of the parties hereto for any action, dispute, claim, suit or other proceeding (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Agreement or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, the Company or any other Member or their respective Affiliates shall have no rights of recovery in respect hereof against any Member Related Party and no personal liability shall attach to any Member Related Party through such Member or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through an action, dispute, claim, suit or other proceeding (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) by or on behalf of a Member against any Member Related Party, by the enforcement of any judgment, fine or penalty or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, or otherwise.  The Company agrees that (i) each of Viking, Patient Square, Sequoia, Frazier, Cormorant and Aisling and their respective Affiliates (each, a “Fund Investor”) are professional investment funds, and as such invest in numerous portfolio companies, some of which may be deemed competitive with the Company or its Subsidiaries’ businesses, and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Fund Investor shall be liable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries for any claim arising out of, or based upon, the investment by any Fund Investor in any entity competitive with the Company or its Subsidiaries and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Fund Investor is permitted to acquire, own and/or dispose of any debt, equity and/or equity-linked securities or other investment in any competitor of the Company or its Subsidiaries without any liability to the Company or its subsidiaries; provided that nothing in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall relieve any Fund Investor from liability associated with the unauthorized disclosure or use of the Company’s confidential information in breach of this Agreement or any other obligation of confidentiality or non-use owed to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by the Fund Investors.

14.13     Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement is personal to the parties hereto and shall not be capable of assignment; it being understood that the foregoing shall not be read to limit any Transfer pursuant to and in accordance with Article VIII.  All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted transferees, if any.

14.14     Specific Performance.  Each of the Members acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the nonbreaching party or parties would be irreparably harmed and could not be made whole by monetary damages. The Members hereby agree that, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, they shall be entitled to compel specific performance of this Agreement in any action instituted in any court set forth in Section 14.8.
 
75

14.15      Representations and Warranties.  Each Person that becomes an Additional Member or a holder of Units on or after the date hereof (each a “Warrantor”) makes, as of the date such Warrantor becomes an Additional Member or acquires Units, the representations and warranties to the Company set forth on Schedule D hereto.
 
14.16     Survival of Representations and Warranties; Termination of Covenants.  All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or made in writing by any party hereto in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.  In the event any provision of this Agreement is terminated, such termination shall not relieve any party hereto from liability for such party’s prior breach of this Agreement or for failure by such party to perform such party’s obligations hereunder.

14.17      Agent’s Rights.
 
(a)          Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, BridgeBio or its Affiliates, each in its capacity as a Member of the Company (each in such capacity, the “Pledging Member”), shall be permitted to pledge or hypothecate any or all of its economic ownership of Units, including all rights to receive the Distributions and allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and similar items to which the Pledging Member would be entitled, to Blue Owl Capital Corporation, as administrative agent (together with its permitted successors and assigns, in such capacity, the “Agent”) under that certain Financing Agreement, dated as of January 17, 2024 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Financing Agreement”), by and among BBIO, BridgeBio, Agent, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the other parties from time to time party thereto, and any transfer of such economic rights pursuant to the Agent’s exercise of remedies in connection with any such pledge or hypothecation shall be permitted under this Agreement with no further action or approval required hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon an event of default under the Financing Agreement, the Agent (or its assignee, transferee or designee, as applicable) (i) shall have the right, without further approval of any Member and without becoming a Member, to take economic ownership of the Pledging Member’s Units (the “Foreclosed Units”) and to receive the Distributions and allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and similar items to which the Pledging Member would be entitled and (ii) shall not have the right to exercise any of the Pledging Member’s voting rights, consent rights, control rights or status rights as a Member. For the avoidance of doubt, upon any such transfer of the economic ownership of Foreclosed Units, the Pledging Member shall cease to have any voting rights, consent rights, control rights or status rights as a Member with respect to the Foreclosed Units.
 
(b)          The parties hereto further agree that so long as any pledge or hypothecation of the Units in favor of the Agent is in effect, (x) the Company shall not elect that the Units become governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware, (y) this Section 14.17 may not be amended or modified, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Agent and (z) the Agent shall be a third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 14.17.
 
76

(c)          The execution and delivery of this Agreement by a Member shall constitute any necessary approval of such Member under the Act to the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.17.
