3.2.7                     Extraordinary Events. Neither Accolade nor Comcast can predict delays or failures in performance under this Agreement resulting from events beyond their reasonable control, including without limitation “acts of God,” fire, flood, strikes, riots, new laws (including laws in non-U.S. jurisdictions from which Accolade Personnel are providing Services) which prevent or impede the carrying out of the Services, or the results of terrorist activity, delays, or failures of third party suppliers, and electronic and other power failures (each, an “Extraordinary Event”). In such event, the Parties may agree to equitably adjust the terms and conditions set forth herein in order to mitigate the impact of any such event or series of events, including but not limited to [***]. The operation of the preceding sentences shall not, however, relieve a Party from its obligation to meet the time schedules required herein (including Accolade’s Performance Guarantees listed in Exhibit F) unless the Party shall have taken commercially reasonable precautions to anticipate and avoid the occurrence of the Extraordinary Event and upon its occurrence shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to ameliorate or eliminate its effect. In no event shall any postponement of either Party’s obligations hereunder as a result of an Extraordinary Event exceed the period of time that the Extraordinary Event had an affect on such Party. If a delay or interruption of performance by either Party resulting from its experiencing an Extraordinary Event exceeds [***], then the other Party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the Party unable to meet its obligations hereunder. All monies due to each Party shall be paid in accordance with this Agreement through the effective date of termination. To the extent a Party has complied with the terms of this Section 3.2, such delay or interruption shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

13.                               Confidentiality.

 

13.1                        Generally. “Confidential Information” shall mean all proprietary, secret or confidential information relating to either Party and its operations, employees, products or services, any information relating to any Affiliate, and personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”), including Protected Health Information (“PHI”), any of which is disclosed or otherwise supplied in confidence by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party or acquired by a Party from the Disclosing Party, or its third-party Personnel, in the course of carrying out its obligations hereunder or as a result of access to the premises of a Party. Without limiting the foregoing, Confidential Information regarding Members shall, as between Comcast and Accolade, be the Confidential Information of Comcast. For the sake of clarity, Confidential Information that is disclosed by either Party to the other under this Agreement, including without limitation, software code and designs, hardware, product specifications and documentation, financial data, business and product plans, each Party’s software, each Party’s proprietary items, Comcast equipment provided to Accolade and other confidential business information remains the property of the Disclosing Party. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 8.4 relating to Work Product, Confidential Information of Accolade shall remain the property of Accolade.

13.1.2              Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, each Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information and not to disclose, or permit any third party or entity access to, the Confidential Information without prior written permission of the other Party. The foregoing obligation shall be subject to and based upon the third party receiving the Confidential Information employing, with regard to the Confidential Information, procedures no less restrictive than the strictest procedures used

CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENTS, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE ACCOLADE, INC. HAS DETERMINED THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO ACCOLADE, INC. IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.

 

by it to protect its own confidential and proprietary information of a like kind, which shall at a minimum be commercially reasonable procedures.

 

13.1.3              Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to its agents and contractors who have a strict need to know it in connection with the provision or receipt of Services, provided that any such third party is subject to written confidentiality obligations substantively similar to these terms and which will protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. With respect to Accolade Personnel performing Services outside of the United States (“Foreign Personnel”), Accolade shall require a written confidentiality agreement with such Foreign Personnel that also includes provisions allowing reasonable inspections and audits of such Personnel, the ability to interview employees, contractor and subcontractors of such Personnel to verify compliance with confidentiality obligations, assignment of Work Product, indemnification provisions, departure protocols, dispute resolution and waiver of any ownership of, license to or moral rights regarding Comcast’s patents, trade secrets, proprietary information or intellectual property. With respect to Accolade Foreign Personnel, such obligations will apply regardless of the law of the jurisdiction from which such Accolade Personnel are providing Services. Comcast’s Confidential Information, including without limitation computer data and programs, provided by Comcast or accessed (or accessible) by Accolade Personnel, or personnel of Accolade’s permitted subcontractors, shall be used by such Personnel or personnel only in connection with the obligations set forth hereunder, and shall not be exploited by Accolade or its permitted subcontractors for any internal, commercial or other purpose in any manner whatsoever. Accolade agrees to cooperate with Comcast in all non-US jurisdictions in which it utilizes Accolade Personnel lo provide Services hereunder in filing assignments, applying for and/or aiding Comcast in applying for patents or exceptions relating to Comcast Confidential Information under this Agreement, as required by patent law in the applicable non-US jurisdiction and the local government’s intellectual property office or as otherwise required under applicable rules or regulations.

13.2                        Accolade hereby acknowledges that Comcast has a special responsibility under the law to keep certain Personal Information private and confidential. Accolade also acknowledges that the Personal Information to which it will have access pursuant

to this Agreement from Comcast or Comcast third-party Personnel constitutes Comcast Confidential Information and that Accolade in no way possesses or shall gain possession of any ownership or other proprietary rights with respect to such Personal Information. Accolade acknowledges and understands that Personal Information related to subscribers and prospective subscribers to Comcast’s or its Affiliates’ products and services is subject to the subscriber privacy protections set forth in Section 631 of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, as amended (47 U.S.C. Sec. 551), as well as other applicable federal and state laws. To the extent that such laws are applicable to Accolade or Accolade Services, Accolade agrees that it shall use such information in strict compliance with Section 631 and all other applicable laws governing the use, collection, disclosure and storage of such information. Accolade further agrees to restrict disclosure of such Personal Information to those Accolade employees or sub-contractors (and their employees, agents or subcontractors) with a need to know and who are bound by the confidentiality provisions herein and shall not further disclose such information to any other third parties without the prior written consent of Comcast.

 

13.3                        All Confidential Information that is collected, stored or otherwise maintained by Accolade pursuant to this Agreement shall be maintained in a secure environment that meets or exceeds industry standards for the protection of highly sensitive information. At a minimum, such safeguards shall include storing any Confidential Information that is collected or obtained by Accolade in a secure form and transmitting such Confidential Information in encrypted form, and utilization of authentication and access controls with respect to any media, applications, operating systems or equipment utilized by Accolade and its subcontractors, and utilization of host and network based intrusion detection systems (with third party penetration testing). In the event of a breach or suspected breach of security of any system, website, database, equipment or storage medium or facility that results or could result in unauthorized access to any Comcast Confidential Information (including without limitation Personal Information, or any Work Product) by any third party (including any Personnel of Accolade that is not authorized to access such information), Accolade shall notify Comcast [***], and make [***] efforts to re-secure its systems immediately. Accolade shall treat any information related to such security incident(s) as Comcast’s Confidential Information. Accolade agrees to provide reasonable cooperation to Comcast and any applicable government agency in investigating and resolving any such security incident.

 

13.4                        Each Party recognizes and acknowledges that any use or disclosure of the Confidential Information of the other Party in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement may cause the other Party irreparable damage for which remedies at law may be inadequate. Accordingly, the non-breaching Party shall have the right to seek an immediate injunction in respect of any breach of these confidentiality obligations without posting bond to obtain such relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph shall not in any way limit the remedies in law or equity otherwise available to the non-breaching Party

14.2.2              If any IP Product becomes, or in Accolade’s reasonable opinion is likely to become, the subject of a successful IP Claim of infringement of any intellectual property rights, then, in addition to any other rights Comcast may have under this Agreement, Accolade shall modify the delivery of Services to eliminate any potential or actual infringement.

immediately take control of the defense, settlement, and investigation of such claim and to employ and engage attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost. The Indemnified Party will cooperate, at the cost and request of the Indemnifying Party, in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such claim and any appeal arising therefrom. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume full control over the defense of a claim as provided in this Section, the Indemnifying Party may participate in the defense of such claim, at its sole cost and expense, and the Indemnified Party will have the right to defend the claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. Neither Party shall enter into a settlement of any such claim that imposes any liability or material obligation on the other Party or materially prejudices the other Party’s rights without such Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Further, neither party shall enter into a settlement of any such claim without the other Party’s written consent unless such settlement is solely for monetary payment by the Indemnifying Party or a third-party and contains an explicit and complete unconditional release of Indemnified Party in connection with the Services and IP Products.

BUSINESS ASSOCIATE AGREEMENT

 

This Business Associate Agreement (“BAA”), effective Jan 1, 2015 (“Effective Date”), is entered into by Comcast Cable Communications Management, LLC on behalf of itself, its parent, its Affiliates, and The Comcast Comprehensive Health and Welfare Plan (“Covered Entity”) and Accolade, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Business Associate”) (each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”). This BAA shall be a part of, and is incorporated by reference in full into the Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.

 

Business Associate provides Services for Covered Entity that involve the use and disclosure of PHI. These Services are performed pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Services Agreement dated Jan 1, 2015 between the Parties (the “Contract”). The Parties are committed to complying with the Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information, 45 C.F.R. Part 160 and Part 164, Subparts A and E as amended from time to time (the “Privacy Rule”), and with the Security Standards, 45 C.F.R. Part 160 and Part 164, Subpart C as amended from time to time (the “Security Rule”), under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act and its implementing regulations (“HITECH”). Business Associate acknowledges that, pursuant to HITECH, 45 C.F.R. §§ 164.308 (administrative safeguards), 164.310 (physical safeguards), 164.312 (technical safeguards), 164.316 (policies and procedures and documentation requirements) and 164.502 et. seq. apply to Business Associate in the same manner that such sections apply to Covered Entity. The additional requirements of Title XIII of HITECH contained in Public Law 111-005 that relate to privacy and security and that are made applicable with respect to covered entities shall also be applicable to Business Associate. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which PHI, and, when applicable, Electronic Protected Health Information (“EPHI”), shall be handled. The Parties further acknowledge that state statutes or other laws or precedents may impose data breach notification or information security obligations, and it is their further intention that each shall comply with such laws as well as HITECH and HIPAA in the collection, handling, storage, and disclosure of personal data of patients or other personal identifying information exchanged or stored in connection with their relationship.

 

The Parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Definitions

 

All capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Privacy Rule, Security Rule and HITECH.

3.1.10              notify the Covered Entity within [***] of the Business Associate’s receipt of any request or subpoena for PHI.

3.1.11              maintain a formal security program materially in accordance with all applicable data security and privacy laws and industry standards designed to ensure the security and integrity of the Covered Entity’s data and protect against threats or hazards to such security; such security program shall require that all electronic PHI is stored and maintained on servers located within the United States.

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Comcast Alpha Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or its registered assigns (as the case may be, “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to purchase from Accolade, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), one million (1,000,000) validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), subject to vesting and adjustment as provided herein, at a purchase price equal to $2.75 per share (the “Warrant Price”), subject to adjustment as provided herein, at any time and from time to time on or before April 1, 2020 (the “Expiration Date”), subject to earlier termination as provided herein.

RECITALS

 

1.                                      This Warrant is being issued pursuant to Section 16 of that certain Amended and Restated Services Agreement dated May    2015 by and between the Company and an Affiliate of the Holder (the “Services Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Services Agreement.

 

2.                                      The term “Warrant” as used herein shall mean this Warrant, and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants set forth above and herein contained, the Company hereby issues this Warrant to Holder, and the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1 VESTING.

 

1.1                               Vested Shares. As of any date on which Holder elects to exercise all or a portion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to purchase up to that number of Vested Shares (as defined below) at a purchase price per Share equal to the Warrant Price, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.

 

1.2                               Vesting Schedule. The number of Shares which Holder is at any time entitled to purchase hereunder (the “Vested Shares”) shall equal:

 

1.2.1                     From and after the date hereof, twenty percent (20%) of the Shares; plus

 

1.2.2                     From and after April 1, 2016, an additional twenty percent (20%) of the Shares, provided that Accolade Core Revenues, calculated for the year ended December 31, 2015, equal or exceed $13.20 PMPM; plus

 

1.2.3                     From and after April 1, 2017, an additional twenty percent (20%) of the Shares, provided that Accolade Core Revenues, calculated for the year ended December 31, 2016, equal or exceed $12.90 PMPM; plus

 

1.2.4                     From and after April 1, 2018, an additional twenty percent (20%) of the Shares, provided that Accolade Core Revenues, calculated for the year ended December 31, 2017, equal or exceed $12.90 PMPM; plus

 

1.2.5                     From and after April 1, 2019, an additional twenty percent (20%) of the Shares, provided that Accolade Core Revenues, calculated for the year ended December 31, 2018, equal or exceed $12.90 PMPM.

 

For purposes of this Warrant:

 

(a)                                 Each date referenced in the foregoing Sections 1.2.1 through 1.2.5 (inclusive) is referred to herein as a “Vesting Date”.

 

73


 

CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENTS, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE ACCOLADE, INC. HAS DETERMINED THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO ACCOLADE, INC. IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.

 

(b)                                 Accolade Core Revenues” shall mean, for any given year, the annual Base Fee for that year plus the Incentive Payments earned for that year less Penalties for Performance Guarantees incurred in that year, all expressed on a PMPM basis. For the sake of clarity, Accolade Core Revenues shall not include any payments made to Company pursuant to Schedule C to the Services Agreement (Service Management), or any schedule that amends, substitutes or replaces such Schedule C. Each capitalized term used in this definition is used as defined in the Services Agreement.

 

(c)                                  In the event that Accolade is unable to calculate Accolade Core Revenues by the Vesting Date, Accolade shall make such calculation within forty-five (45) days thereafter, and such determination of Accolade Core Revenues shall be retroactive to the Vesting Date.

 

(d)                                 For the avoidance of doubt, the vesting of the Shares attributable to any particular Vesting Date shall be independent of the vesting of the Shares attributable to any other Vesting Date, such that (i) Shares shall become Vested Shares as of the applicable Vesting Date if the applicable Accolade Core Revenues threshold is achieved even if the Shares attributable to a prior or subsequent Vesting Date did or do not become Vested Shares because the applicable Accolade Core Revenues threshold attributable to such Shares was or is not achieved and (ii) if Accolade Core Revenues exceed the applicable Accolade Core Revenues threshold in any given calendar year, such excess amount may not be carried backward or forward to prior or subsequent calendar years in which the applicable Accolade Core Revenues threshold was not or is not achieved.

 

1.3                               Vesting Example. For purposes of clarification, Holder may exercise this Warrant from time to time, in whole or in part, and if Holder exercises this Warrant with respect to all or any portion of the Vested Shares, such exercise shall not affect the continued vesting of the balance of the Shares as provided above. For illustration purposes only, if twenty percent (20%) of the Shares become Vested Shares on the first Vesting Date and Holder exercises this Warrant with respect to all of those Vested Shares, Holder shall be entitled to exercise this Warrant with respect to an additional twenty percent (20%) of the Shares from and after the next Vesting Date if those Shares become Vested Shares on such Vesting Date, and so on until the full exercise, expiration or termination of this Warrant.

 

ARTICLE 2 EXERCISE.

 

2.1                               Method of Exercise. Subject to Article 1, Holder may from time to time exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Unless Holder is exercising the conversion right set forth in Section 2.2, Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check or wire transfer (to an account designated by the Company) for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Vested Shares being purchased.

 

2.2                               Conversion Right. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section 2.1, Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of Shares determined by dividing (a) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Vested Shares (or other securities, cash or property otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) as to which this

 

74


 

CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENTS, MARKED BY [***], HAS BEEN OMITTED BECAUSE ACCOLADE, INC. HAS DETERMINED THE INFORMATION (I) IS NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO ACCOLADE, INC. IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.

 

Warrant is being so converted minus the aggregate Warrant Price for such Vested Shares, by (b) the Fair Market Value of one Share (or the other securities, cash or property otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to one Share). The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined pursuant to Section 2.3. For the avoidance of doubt, any reference herein to the “exercise” of this Warrant shall include a conversion of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 2.2. If Holder has not exercised this Warrant on or prior to the Expiration Date, then immediately prior to the expiration of this Warrant on the Expiration Date (or any earlier termination of this Warrant as provided herein), this Warrant shall be deemed to have been converted automatically, and without any action by the Holder, pursuant to this Section 2.2.

 

2.3                               Fair Market Value. The fair market value (the “Fair Market Value”) of a Share (or other securities, cash or property otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be determined as of the applicable date by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith.

 

2.4                               Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises this Warrant and, if applicable, the Company receives payment of the aggregate Warrant Price, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new Warrant representing the Shares not so acquired.

 

2.5                               Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

 

2.6                               Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company and Upon Initial Public Offering.

 

2.6.1                     Acquisition of Company. Upon the closing of an Acquisition (as defined below):

 

(a)                                 if, as of such closing of the Acquisition, (i) the Services Agreement has not been terminated (and is not terminated in connection with the Acquisition) or the Services Agreement has been terminated (or is terminated in connection with the Acquisition) but Holder and the Company or the surviving entity or acquiring party in the Acquisition (as the case may be, the “Acquiring Party”), or any of their respective Affiliates, have entered into an agreement that is similar in nature to the Services Agreement (whether before or in connection with the Acquisition), and (ii) all or any portion of this Warrant remains unvested, then, subject to Section 2.6.1(c) below, either (A) this Warrant shall continue in accordance with its terms (including the vesting of additional Shares in accordance with Article 1) and shall become an obligation of the Acquiring Party, exercisable for the type and amount of securities, cash or other property of Acquiring Party as determined pursuant to Section 3.4, or (B) all Shares that remain unvested under this Warrant shall become Vested Shares immediately but Holder shall be required to exercise this Warrant at any time at or prior to the closing of the Acquisition (and thereby participate in the Acquisition as a holder of any Shares issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant), whereupon this Warrant shall terminate; or

(b)                                 if, as of such closing of the Acquisition, (i) the Services Agreement has been terminated (or is terminated in connection with the Acquisition) and Holder and the Company or the Acquiring Party, or any of their respective Affiliates, have not entered into an agreement that is similar in nature to the Services Agreement (whether before or in connection with the Acquisition) or (ii) no portion of this Warrant remains unvested, then, subject to Section 2.6.1(c) below, either (A) this Warrant shall continue in accordance with its terms (which shall not include any additional vesting hereunder, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.7) and shall become an obligation of the Acquiring Party, exercisable for the type and amount of securities, cash or other property of Acquiring Party as determined pursuant to Section 3.4, or (B) Holder shall be required to exercise this Warrant at any time at or prior to the closing of the Acquisition (and thereby participate in the Acquisition as a holder of any Shares issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant) with the number of Vested Shares being calculated in accordance with Section 2.7, whereupon this Warrant shall terminate.

 

(c)                                  The Acquiring Party shall elect either to assume this Warrant as specified in clause (A) of Section 2.6.1(a) or Section 2.6.1(b), as applicable, or for Holder to be required to exercise this Warrant as specified in clause (B) of Section 2.6.1(a) or Section 2.6.1(b), as applicable. The Company shall provide Holder with written notice of any proposed Acquisition and the Acquiring Party’s election as to the treatment of this Warrant at least 10 days prior to the closing of the Acquisition. If (i) the Company (x) affirmatively and timely notifies Holder that the Acquiring Party is not assuming this Warrant as specified in clause (A) of Section 2.6.1(a) or Section 2.6.1(b), as applicable, or (y) fails to affirmatively and timely notify Holder of the Acquiring Party’s election between clause (A) and clause (B) of Section 2.6.1(a) or Section 2.6.1(b), as applicable, and (ii) Holder has not exercised this Warrant on or prior to the closing of the Acquisition, then this Warrant shall be deemed to have been converted automatically for the number of Shares specified in Section 2.6.1(a) or Section 2.6.1(b), as applicable, as provided in the last sentence of Section 2.2 immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition.

 

For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means (A) any “person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (other than Accretive II, L.P., any of its Affiliates, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any trustee, fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities under any employee benefit plan or trust of the Company or any of its subsidiaries), together with all “affiliates” and “associates” (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) of such person, shall become the “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than fifty percent (50%) of either (1) the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities having the right to vote in an election of the Board or (2) the then outstanding shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis; or (B) the stockholders of the Company shall approve (1) any consolidation or merger of the Company where the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the consolidation or merger would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares of the Company or the acquirer issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent company, if any), (2) any sale, lease, exclusive license, exchange

or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of transactions contemplated or arranged by any party as a single plan) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or (3) any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

 

2.6.2                     Initial Public Offering. The consummation by the Company of an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its Common Stock in a bona fide underwriting pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), shall not have any effect on this Warrant, but rather this Warrant shall continue in accordance with its terms (including the vesting of additional Shares in accordance with Article 1) from and after the consummation of such IPO.

 

2.7                               Treatment of Warrant Upon Termination of Services Agreement. If the Services Agreement terminates for any reason and Holder and the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, have not entered into an agreement that is similar in nature to the Services Agreement in amendment, substitution or replacement thereof, then:

 

2.7.1                     this Warrant shall continue in accordance with its terms, except that the number of Vested Shares shall be set at (a) the number of Shares that are Vested Shares at the time of such termination plus (b) if such termination occurs between January 1 and April 1 of any year during the term of this Warrant, the number of Shares that would have become Vested Shares on April 1 of such year, if any, based upon the Accolade Core Revenues achieved in the prior year plus (c) if such termination is by the Company or its applicable Affiliate for convenience (i.e., without cause) or by Holder or its applicable Affiliate as a result of an uncured breach by the Company or its applicable Affiliates (after the expiration of all cure periods and subject to the applicable dispute resolution procedures set forth in the Service Agreement), a Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Shares that would have become Vested Shares on the Vesting Date attributable to the year in which such termination occurs if the applicable Accolade Core Revenues threshold for such year was achieved; and

 

2.7.2                     except as provided in the foregoing Section 2.7.1, no additional Shares shall vest under the terms of this Warrant thereafter.

 

For purposes of the foregoing, “Pro Rata Portion” means the product of (i) twenty percent (20%) multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months that have elapsed in the year in which such termination occurs (inclusive of the date of such termination) and the denominator of which is 12.

 

For illustration purposes only, if (x) the Accolade Core Revenues threshold is achieved for 2015 such that 20% of the Shares become Vested Shares on April 1, 2016, (y) the Services Agreement is terminated by the Company or its applicable Affiliate for convenience on March 31, 2017, and (z) it is determined that the Accolade Core Revenues threshold was achieved for 2016, then this Warrant would be exercisable for 65% of the Shares, comprising the 20% of the Shares that were initially Vested Shares plus the 20% of the Shares that became Vested Shares on April 1, 2016 plus the 20% of the Shares that would have become Vested Shares on April 1, 2017 plus 5% of the Shares that would have become Vested Shares on April 1, 2018 (determined by

multiplying 20% by a fraction, the numerator of which is the 3 months that elapsed in 2017 and the denominator of which is 12).

 

ARTICLE 3 ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.

 

3.1                               Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Warrant Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Warrant Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

3.2                               Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time, or from time to time after the Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Warrant Price then in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction:

 

3.2.1                     the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

 

3.2.2                     the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution;

 

provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Warrant Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Warrant Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

 

3.3                               Adjustment in Number of Warrant Shares. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Warrant Price pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2, the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Warrant Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.

 

3.4                               Adjustment for Reorganization. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of stock or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Company in which the Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for

securities, cash or other property (including any Acquisition covered by Section 2.6 but excluding any transaction covered by Sections 3.1 or 3.2) (collectively, a “Reorganization”), then, following such Reorganization, Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof, for each Vested Share (including any Shares that become Vested Shares after such Reorganization), the type and amount of securities, cash or other property which was issued or issuable with respect to a share of Common Stock pursuant to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Article 3 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities, cash or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

3.5                               Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Article 3, the Company at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than 10 days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to Holder certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property for which this Warrant shall be exercisable and the Warrant Price) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of Holder (but in any event not later than 10 days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to Holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Warrant Price then in effect and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

3.6                               Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the Fair Market Value of a full Share.

 

ARTICLE 4 NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant does not entitle Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof. Upon the exercise or exchange of this Warrant, however, the Company agrees that Holder shall be entitled to all of the rights, subject to all of the obligations, of a “Stockholder” under (a) the Company’s Investor Rights Agreement in effect at the time of such exercise or exchange; (b) the Company’s Registration Rights Agreement in effect at the time of such exercise or exchange; and (c) the Company’s Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement as in effect at the time of such exercise or exchange (collectively, the “Transfer Agreements”), in each case with respect to the Shares acquired upon such exercise or exchange, and in furtherance thereof, Holder shall, to the extent Holder is not already a party thereto, execute and deliver to the Company a joinder, and the Company hereby agrees to accept Holder’s joinder as a “Stockholder” party, to the Transfer Agreements.

Holder has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring this Warrant or the Shares.

 

5.2                               Disclosure of Information. Holder has received or has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of this Warrant and its underlying Shares.

5.4                               Accredited Investor Status. Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

5.5                               The Securities Act. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issued upon any exercise hereof must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws, or unless exemption from such registration and qualification are otherwise available. Holder is aware of the provisions of Rules 144 and 144A promulgated under the Securities Act that permit limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.

 

5.6                               No Public Market. Holder understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company and that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Securities (as defined in Section 6.3(b) below).
