This letter constitutes a side letter to such Preferred Share Subscription Letter, and accordingly shall be treated as a Transaction Document as defined therein.

In this letter the term Group means, collectively, the Company, LumiraDx Group Limited and each of their subsidiaries, and the term Group Company means any one of them individually. Terms defined in the Preferred Share Subscription Letter shall have the same meaning in this letter.

You and the Company hereby agree as follows:

1.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding that you have agreed under the Preferred Share Subscription Letter to subscribe the sum of US$70,002,226.733 in aggregate for Preferred Shares, your commitment under the Preferred Share Subscription Letter shall be satisfied in two tranches, as follows:
(a)
the sum of US$35,001,748.008 in consideration for the issue to you of 27,576 Preferred Shares shall be paid by you in accordance with paragraph 3.2 of the Preferred Share Subscription Letter by no later than 2 Business Days following the date of service of the Unconditional Notice; and
(b)
the sum of US$35,000,478.725 in consideration for the issue to you of 27,575 Preferred Shares shall be paid by you to the Account on such date, being not less than 60 days after the Unconditional Date and not later than the Final Offer Date, as the Company shall notify to you in writing (the Second Payment Date), providing that such notification shall be served on you not less than 2 Business Days prior to the Second Payment Date. Paragraph 4 of the Preferred Share Subscription Letter shall (mutatis mutandis) apply to the issue of Preferred Shares pursuant to this paragraph 1(b), and you shall be (i) deemed to have repeated the warranties set out in paragraph 7 of the Preferred Share Subscription Letter on the date of issue of the Preferred Shares to you pursuant to this paragraph 1(b) and (ii) required to complete the Accredited Investor Questionnaire in the form attached to Schedule 4 of the Preferred Share Subscription Letter.
2.
Subject to and conditional upon the Preferred Shares being issued to you pursuant to the terms of paragraph 1(a) of this letter and the Preferred Share Subscription Letter, you shall be entitled to nominate an individual to act as a director of the Company in accordance with the articles of association of the Company (the Articles of Association), and to require the removal and replacement of such director from time to time. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Company shall take all action necessary to formally appoint such individual nominated by you

 


 

or to formally remove or replace such individual as requested by you. The Company shall have the right to reject the appointment of any person proposed by you that is a US-resident and/or a US-citizen. Your right to appoint a director hereunder shall terminate if you sell, transfer, dispose of or are otherwise no longer in control of, Preferred Shares (or the equivalent of A ordinary shares of US$0.001 each in the capital of the Company (the A Ordinary Shares) following any conversion of any Preferred Shares), other than a transfer permitted in accordance with Article 10.2 (Transfers by corporate shareholders) (a Permitted Transfer), which constitute more than twenty five percent (25%) of your initial holding of Preferred Shares pursuant to your Preferred Share Subscription Letter. For clarity, "control" includes both direct and indirect control through one or more intermediaries. Upon termination of your right to appoint a director, you shall execute, and shall use your reasonable endeavours to procure that such director shall execute, such documentation as the Company may require in order to remove such director from office. If you remove from office a director appointed by you, or such director is removed from office as a result of the termination of your right to appoint a director of the Company, you shall be responsible for any claim by such director arising out of such removal, and shall pay to the Company on demand an amount equal to all losses, liabilities, claims, actions, costs, damages or expenses suffered or incurred by the Company which arise directly or indirectly as a result of or in connection with any such claim. Except in the case of your director being a U.S.-resident and/or a U.S.-Citizen, the Company shall not remove your director except in circumstances of fraud or gross misconduct.
3.
At all times prior to a Sale or Listing, the Company shall, subject to that relevant Preferred Investor having a right to appoint a director, ensure that at least one of the following shall serve as a duly elected or appointed member of each committee of the Company's Board of Directors:

4.
The Company shall refuse to register any sale, assignment, gift or other transfer of any A Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of the Company held by any of Ron Zwanziger, David Scott or Jerry McAleer (each a Founder) without your prior written consent, unless:
(a)
it is a transfer permitted under Article 10 (Permitted Transfers) of the Articles of Association; or
(b)
such transfer is made in a connection with a Listing or Sale of the Company (in each such case, as such terms are defined in the Articles of Association) or under circumstances where such transfer would (whether by itself or in conjunction with other transfers) result in the application of the provisions of Article 14 (Drag Along) or Article 15 (Tag along) of the Articles of Association.
5.
If at any time, after the date of this letter but before the Unconditional Date, any Adverse Change occurs then you may by notice in writing to the Company terminate the Preferred Share Subscription Letter and this letter. For these purposes, Adverse Change shall mean the occurrence of any event or change that has or could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the business, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or assets of the Company such that the valuation of the Company would reasonably be expected to be reduced by an amount equal to or more than US$90 million when compared to the value of the Company as at the date of this letter.
