AMENDMENT 2

to

GRANT AGREEMENT

[***]

ATTACHMENT C-2

SUPPLEMENTAL GLOBAL ACCESS COMMITMENT AGREEMENT

 

 

Background

The focus of the underlying grant to this supplement, Proof of Concept Assays, has been on the development of the TB NAT assay from tongue swab, up to the proof of concept. The TB NAT assay itself has reached feasibility and will transition to product development with a new, separate grant. However, there remains a large body of work related to the sample preparation of the TB tongue swab, including the development of a separate instrument that would serve to lyse, stabilize, and render non-infectious the tongue swab samples contained in a collection tube (such separate instrument and collection tube, collectively, the "TB Lysis System”).

 

The focus of this supplement 2 to the grant, is to support these activities for the benefit not only the Lumira TB assay but also tongue swab assays using different back-end technologies. In addition, this work will support (via the Second Amended and Restated Letter Agreement, dated July 25, 2022, between LumiraDX and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (the “Letter Agreement”) the distributable TB NAT assay for use with third-party test systems for use in Developing Countries.

 

Now, therefore, the Parties agree as follows.

 

This Global Access Commitment Agreement (including all appendices, exhibits and attachments hereto, this “GACA”), by and between the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (the “Foundation”) and LumiraDx (“LumiraDx” or the “Company”), in connection with the Foundation making a charitable grant, as

amended, of up to $12,050,000, U.S. dollars ($12,050,000.00) to Company (the “Grant”) and is subject to the terms and conditions of the Grant Agreement and related documents, including but not limited to this GACA. Each of the parties named above may be referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.

 

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Grant Agreement and the Letter Agreement.

 

In consideration of the Foundation making the grant on the terms and conditions in the Grant Agreement, as amended, and herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the undersigned hereby irrevocably agree as follows:

 

1.
Company will use reasonable and diligent steps to:

 

(i)
conduct activities set forth in the Investment Document Supplemental Proposal (“Supplemental Proposal”); including the development of the requisite TB Lysis System, to validate the TB Lysis System in clinical trials with the Tuberculosis test, and tech transfer the TB Lysis System so that it is ready for manufacture at scale at the time of launch.
(ii)
RESERVED;

 

2.
That part of the Project (as Project is defined in the Grant Agreement) described in the Supplemental Proposal, and outputs thereof are considered an Additional Assay Project under the terms 3(f)(i) of the Letter Agreement.

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

3.
The terms of the Letter Agreement applicable to Additional Assay Projects apply to this Project (as Project is defined in the Grant Agreement). However, the following terms of the Letter Agreement will be modified and will supersede the terms of the Letter Agreement, limited to for purposes of this GACA:

 

(i)
Section 3(j) (i) Pricing and Volume Commitments. For purposes of this GACA, the terms of Section 3 (j)(i) are deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

“(i) The Company agrees to make available to people in Developing Countries the TB Lysis System for use in connection with TB tongue swabs developed and commercialized pursuant to this Project [***] (or other applicable global access agreements between the Foundation and the Company). Additionally, other Products developed and distributed by the Company under any provided grants will be commercialized in Challenging Market Countries consistent with the maximum pricing and capacity reservation schedule included in Appendix E. In the event that the Foundation notifies the Company of the Foundation’s concerns that the affordability and availability intent of Global Access is being violated in a specific Challenging Market Country, the parties agree to work together in good faith to rectify the concern to the satisfaction of the Foundation. These commitments do not apply to sales of Products used outside of the Developing Countries.”

 

(ii)
Section 3(n) Global Health License. For purposes of this GACA, the terms of Section 3(n)(i) are deleted in its entirety, and replaced with the following:

 

HUMANITARIAN LICENSE

Subject to provisions around supply below and applicable laws and for the purpose of achieving Global Access solely connection with tuberculosis in Developing Countries, You grant the Foundation a nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid up, sublicensable license to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import, distribute, copy, create derivative works, publicly perform, and display Funded Developments and Essential Background Technology. “Essential Background Technology” means Background Technology that is: (a) owned, controlled, or developed by You, or in- licensed with the right to sublicense; and (b) either incorporated into a Funded Development or reasonably required to exercise the license to a Funded Development . You confirm that You have retained or will retain sufficient rights in the Funded Developments and such Essential Background Technology to grant this license. You must ensure this license survives the assignment or transfer of Funded Developments or Essential Background Technology. On request, You must promptly make available the Funded Developments and Essential Background Technology to the Foundation for use solely under this license. If You demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Foundation that Global Access can best be achieved without this license, the Foundation and You will make good faith efforts to modify or terminate this license, as appropriate.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Parties agree the Funded Developments are limited to the TB Lysis System. For the avoidance of doubt, the Humanitarian License (i) applies solely to the TB Lysis System itself solely for use in connection with tuberculosis assays and (ii) does not apply to any other product or service of LumiraDx, including any Products.

 

Supply: LumiraDx shall manufacture (or have manufactured) the TB Lysis System (i) for use in connection with a tuberculosis test developed for the LumiraDx Platform and (ii) to provide for distribution and supply of the TB Lysis System for use in connection with tuberculosis tests operated on third party diagnostic instruments, in each case solely in Developing Countries. LumiraDx shall first ensure it meets the needs of the TB Lysis System for use with tuberculosis tests on the LumiraDx Platform for supply to the

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

Foundation partners. To the extent LumiraDx is unable to meet demand of the TB Lysis System for use with third party tuberculosis tests, as determined by the Foundation, the Foundation shall be entitled to exercise the Humanitarian License to have another party manufacture the TB Lysis System for such third party use in Developing Countries for the purpose of achieving Global Access solely connection with tuberculosis. In such case LumiraDx shall cooperate with any Technology Transfer in accordance with Section 3(o) of the Letter Agreement. .”

 

(iii)
Section 3(o) Cooperation; Technology Transfer. For purposes of this GACA, the term “Global Health License” is deleted and replaced with “Humanitarian License.”
