SAFE

(Simple Agreement for Future Equity)

THIS SAFE (this "Safe") is entered into as of __, 2023 (the "Effective Date"), by and between:

Lumos Analytics Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), with its principal place of business at 340 Folsom Street, Suite 1100, San Francisco, California 94105;

and

Vantage Peak Ventures Fund II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Investor"), with its principal place of business at 2900 Sand Hill Road, Suite 240, Menlo Park, California 94025.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Investor desires to provide funding to the Company in exchange for the right to receive certain equity securities of the Company upon the occurrence of certain events, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to accept such funding from the Investor on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

Purchase Amount: $3,500,000

Post-Money Valuation Cap: $28,000,000

discount Rate: N/A

This instrument is based on the Calderon Partners LLC standard Post-Money SAFE form, as modified by agreement of the parties. In the event of any ambiguity, the terms of this instrument as set forth herein shall control.

Section 1: Events

Section 1(a): Equity Financing

Upon the closing of an Equity Financing (as defined in Section 2 below), this Safe will automatically convert into shares of the Company's capital stock as follows:

(i) The Safe will automatically convert into a number of shares of Safe Preferred Stock equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the Conversion Price. The "Conversion Price" shall be the lower of: (A) the price per share equal to the Post-Money Valuation Cap divided by the Company Capitalization (each as defined below); or (B) the price per share of the Standard Preferred Stock sold to investors in the Equity Financing. Because no discount Rate applies to this Safe, no discounted price alternative is applicable, and the Conversion Price shall be determined solely by reference to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B).

(ii) The Company shall promptly issue to the Investor a number of shares of Safe Preferred Stock equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the Conversion Price, rounded down to the nearest whole share.

(iii) The Investor shall receive shares of Safe Preferred Stock having the same rights, privileges, preferences, and restrictions as the shares of Standard Preferred Stock issued to investors in the Equity Financing; provided, however, that if the Conversion Price is determined by reference to the Post-Money Valuation Cap (i.e., clause (A) above yields a lower price per share than clause (B) above), the shares of Safe Preferred Stock issued to the Investor shall have rights, privileges, preferences, and restrictions identical to those of the Standard Preferred Stock, except that: (x) the per-share liquidation preference of such Safe Preferred Stock shall equal the Conversion Price (rather than the price per share paid by the investors in the Equity Financing); and (y) the conversion price for purposes of price-based anti-dilution protection applicable to such Safe Preferred Stock shall be the Conversion Price.

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, the Equity Financing must have aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), excluding all proceeds received by the Company from the conversion of this Safe, any other SAFEs, and any other convertible instruments into shares of Preferred Stock in connection with such Equity Financing.

(v) In connection with the issuance of shares of Safe Preferred Stock or Standard Preferred Stock to the Investor pursuant to this Section 1(a), the Investor shall execute and deliver all transaction documents related to the Equity Financing to the same extent as the investors participating in the Equity Financing, including any stock purchase agreement, investors' rights agreement, right of first refusal and co-sale agreement, voting agreement, and any other ancillary agreements, in each case with customary and appropriate modifications to reflect the issuance of Safe Preferred Stock in lieu of Standard Preferred Stock (if applicable).

Section 1(b): Liquidity Event

If a Liquidity Event (as defined in Section 2 below) occurs before the termination of this Safe and before an Equity Financing:

(i) The Investor shall have the option, at its sole election, to either:

(A) receive from the Company a cash payment equal to the Purchase Amount (the "Cash-Out Amount"); or

(B) receive from the Company a number of shares of the Company's Common Stock equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the Liquidity Price (as defined in Section 2 below), with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share.

(ii) The Investor shall notify the Company in writing of its election under clause (i) above promptly upon receipt of notice of the Liquidity Event and, in any event, no later than five (5) business days prior to the consummation of the Liquidity Event. If the Investor fails to deliver timely notice of its election, the Investor shall be deemed to have elected the option set forth in clause (i)(B) above (i.e., receipt of shares of Common Stock).

(iii) Any cash payment or share issuance to the Investor pursuant to this Section 1(b) shall be made immediately prior to, or concurrent with, the consummation of the Liquidity Event. In the event of a Liquidity Event that constitutes a Change of Control, the acquirer may assume the Company's obligations under this Section 1(b) and fulfill such obligations directly.

(iv) If, upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, the Company's available funds or assets are insufficient to pay the full Cash-Out Amount to the Investor (and to all other holders of SAFEs who have elected to receive a cash payment), the available funds or assets shall be distributed among such holders on a pro rata basis in proportion to the full Cash-Out Amounts to which they would otherwise be entitled.

Section 1(c): Dissolution Event

If a Dissolution Event (as defined in Section 2 below) occurs before the termination of this Safe and before an Equity Financing or a Liquidity Event:

(i) The Company shall pay to the Investor an amount equal to the Purchase Amount from the Company's remaining assets legally available for distribution to its stockholders (the "Dissolution Amount").

(ii) The Dissolution Amount shall be paid in the following order of priority: first, after the satisfaction of all of the Company's outstanding debts and obligations and all claims of the Company's creditors (including, without limitation, any secured and unsecured creditors); second, in preference to any distributions to holders of the Company's Common Stock; and third, pari passu with payments to holders of any other outstanding SAFEs issued by the Company.

(iii) If the Company's assets available for distribution to stockholders are insufficient to permit payment in full of the Dissolution Amount to the Investor and the corresponding dissolution amounts payable to all other holders of outstanding SAFEs, the available assets shall be distributed among the Investor and such other SAFE holders on a pro rata basis in proportion to their respective Purchase Amounts.

(iv) The Investor acknowledges that the Company's assets may be insufficient to pay any portion of the Dissolution Amount and that the Investor's right to receive the Dissolution Amount is subordinate to the claims of all creditors of the Company.

Section 1(d): Termination

This Safe will automatically terminate, without requiring any further action by either party, upon the earliest to occur of the following:

(i) the issuance of shares of Safe Preferred Stock or Standard Preferred Stock to the Investor pursuant to an Equity Financing conversion under Section 1(a);

(ii) the payment of the Cash-Out Amount or the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Investor pursuant to a Liquidity Event under Section 1(b); or

(iii) the payment (whether in full or in part, in the case of insufficient assets) of the Dissolution Amount to the Investor pursuant to a Dissolution Event under Section 1(c).

Upon termination, this Safe shall be of no further force or effect, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except that the provisions of Section 8 (Miscellaneous) that by their nature are intended to survive termination shall survive.

Section 4(b): Investment Intent

The Investor is acquiring this Safe, and upon conversion of this Safe will acquire the underlying shares of Safe Preferred Stock, Standard Preferred Stock, or Common Stock (as applicable), for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Investor understands that this Safe and the underlying securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws, by reason of specific exemptions from the registration provisions thereof, which exemptions depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein.

The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment contemplated by this Safe. The Investor understands that the investment in this Safe involves a high degree of risk, including, without limitation, the risk of total loss of the Purchase Amount. The Investor acknowledges that the Company is an early-stage enterprise, having been incorporated on January 14, 2022, with a limited operating history, limited revenue, and no assurance of future profitability or success. The Investor is able to bear the economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period and can afford a complete loss of such investment.

Section 4(d): No Public Market

The Investor acknowledges that there is currently no public trading market for this Safe or for the Company's Common Stock, Preferred Stock, or any other securities of the Company, and that no assurance has been given that any such public market will develop.

This Safe, when executed and delivered by the Investor, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and to general principles of equity.

Section 5: Most Favored Nation Provision

(a) If, after the Effective Date and prior to the termination of this Safe pursuant to Section 1(d), the Company issues any SAFE, convertible note, or other convertible instrument (a "Subsequent Instrument") that contains terms that are, taken as a whole, more favorable to the holder thereof than the terms of this Safe are to the Investor, then the Investor may elect to amend this Safe to reflect such more favorable terms. To exercise this right, the Investor must deliver written notice to the Company within fifteen (15) days after the Company provides written notice to the Investor of the issuance of such Subsequent Instrument (together with a copy of the form thereof, which may be redacted to remove the identity of the counterparty thereto if the Company determines such redaction to be reasonably necessary to comply with a confidentiality obligation). Upon timely delivery of such written notice by the Investor, this Safe shall be deemed automatically amended to incorporate such more favorable terms, effective as of the date of the Investor's notice.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor's rights under this Section 5 shall apply only to Subsequent Instruments that are issued as part of the same financing round as this Safe (i.e., the Company's current SAFE round targeting aggregate proceeds of up to Six Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,800,000) as authorized by the Board Written Consent dated August 30, 2023) (the "Current Round"). For the avoidance of doubt, the Investor's rights under this Section 5 shall not extend to, and shall not be triggered by, any of the following:

(i) SAFEs, convertible notes, or other convertible instruments issued in any subsequent separate financing round (whether denominated as a seed round, Series A round, or otherwise) that is distinct from the Current Round;

(ii) strategic convertible notes or instruments issued to strategic investors in connection with commercial arrangements or strategic partnerships;

(iii) convertible instruments issued in connection with compensation arrangements, including, without limitation, convertible notes or equity rights issued to employees, consultants, advisors, or service providers of the Company; or

(iv) any convertible instruments issued in connection with bank financing, venture debt, equipment financing, or similar lending transactions.

(c) The Company shall provide the Investor with written notice of the issuance of any Subsequent Instrument within five (5) business days after such issuance, together with a copy of the form of such Subsequent Instrument (subject to the redaction rights set forth in subsection (a) above). The Company shall make a good faith determination of whether such Subsequent Instrument falls within the scope of the Current Round and shall inform the Investor of such determination in connection with its notice.

Section 6: Information Rights

(a) So long as the Investor holds this Safe (or, following conversion of this Safe, holds any shares of Capital Stock issued upon conversion thereof), the Company shall deliver to the Investor:

(i) Annual Financial Statements. Unaudited annual financial statements of the Company, consisting of a balance sheet, an income statement (statement of operations), and a statement of cash flows, in each case as of and for the fiscal year then ended, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company. Such financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), consistently applied, subject to the absence of footnote disclosures and to normal year-end adjustments.

(ii) Quarterly Updates. Quarterly written updates, within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company, covering: (A) key operational metrics relevant to the Company's business; (B) a summary of material business developments during the applicable quarter; and (C) summary financial information regarding the Company's revenue, expenses, and cash position. Such quarterly updates may be delivered in the form of a letter, email communication, slide presentation, or investor update, in such format as the Company determines in its reasonable discretion.

(iii) Material Adverse Developments. Prompt written notice of any event, occurrence, or development that, in the Company's reasonable judgment, constitutes a material adverse change in the Company's business, assets, financial condition, or prospects. For purposes of this clause (iii), the Company's obligation to provide prompt notice shall mean notice within a commercially reasonable time after the Company becomes aware of such event, occurrence, or development, taking into account the nature and severity thereof.

(b) The Company's obligations under this Section 6 are subject to the following limitations:

(i) Nothing in this Section 6 shall obligate the Company to prepare audited financial statements unless such audited financial statements are otherwise prepared by the Company in the ordinary course of its business. The Investor acknowledges that as of the Effective Date, Ashgrove Equity Partners Accounting Group LLP provides tax advisory services to the Company but does not perform full audit services, and the Company is not currently required to prepare audited financial statements.

(ii) The Company may satisfy its obligations under Section 6(a)(ii) through investor communications or updates that are distributed to all holders of SAFEs and equity holders of the Company generally, and the Company shall not be required to prepare separate or individualized quarterly reports for the Investor.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, the Company shall not be required to disclose any information that is subject to attorney-client privilege, work-product protection, or a bona fide contractual obligation of confidentiality owed by the Company to a third party; provided, however, that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the substance of such information to the Investor in a manner that does not waive any applicable privilege or result in a breach of any such confidentiality obligation.

(iv) The Investor agrees that all information received pursuant to this Section 6 shall be treated as confidential and shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 8(m) of this Safe.

Section 7: Pro Rata Rights

The Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that pro rata participation rights are being granted to the Investor pursuant to a separate Pro Rata Rights Side Letter of even date herewith (the "Side Letter"), executed between the Company and the Investor concurrently with the execution of this Safe. The terms of the Side Letter are incorporated herein by reference solely for purposes of confirming the existence of such pro rata participation rights; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Side Letter and the terms of this Safe with respect to pro rata participation rights, the terms of the Side Letter shall control. Except as expressly set forth in the Side Letter, nothing in this Safe shall be construed to grant the Investor any right to participate in or purchase securities issued in any future financing of the Company.

Section 8: Miscellaneous

Section 8(a): Payment Mechanics

The Purchase Amount shall be paid by the Investor to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Company in writing prior to the Effective Date. Wire transfer instructions are set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, or as otherwise communicated by the Company to the Investor in writing. Payment of the Purchase Amount shall be a condition to the effectiveness of this Safe. The Company shall acknowledge receipt of the Purchase Amount in writing promptly following receipt thereof.

Section 8(b): Security; No Indebtedness

This Safe is not, and shall not be deemed or construed to be, a debt instrument, a loan, a promissory note, or any other form of indebtedness for any purpose, including for accounting, tax, regulatory, or other purposes. The Investor is not entitled to receive any interest on the Purchase Amount. This Safe is not secured by any of the Company's assets, and the Investor shall not have any security interest, lien, or other claim on or against any of the Company's assets by reason of this Safe. The Investor's rights under this Safe are subordinate to the rights of all creditors of the Company.

Section 8(c): Amendment and Waiver

This Safe may not be amended, modified, or supplemented, and no provision hereof may be waived, except by a written instrument executed by both the Company and the Investor. No waiver of any provision of this Safe shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof, and no waiver shall constitute a continuing waiver. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 8(c) shall be binding upon the Company, the Investor, and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 8(d): Assignment

Neither party may assign this Safe or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, except as follows:

(i) The Investor may assign this Safe, without the prior written consent of the Company, to: (A) an affiliate of the Investor (for purposes of this Safe, "affiliate" means any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Investor); or (B) a successor fund managed by the same general partner as the Investor (i.e., Vantage Peak Capital Management LLC) or any successor thereto; provided that, in each case, the assignee delivers to the Company a written instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, pursuant to which the assignee agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Safe as if it were the original Investor hereunder, and provided further that no such assignment shall relieve the Investor of its obligations under this Safe if the assignee fails to perform.

(ii) The Company may assign this Safe, without the prior written consent of the Investor, in connection with a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, provided that the surviving or acquiring entity assumes all of the Company's obligations under this Safe in writing.

Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 8(d) shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing restrictions, this Safe shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 8(e): No Third-Party Beneficiaries

This Safe is for the sole benefit of the Company and the Investor and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Nothing in this Safe, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit, remedy, or claim of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Safe.

Section 8(f): Governing Law

This Safe shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice-of-law or conflict-of-law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 8(g): Dispute Resolution

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Safe, or the breach, termination, or invalidity thereof, shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in San Francisco, California, before a single arbitrator, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties or, if the parties are unable to agree, by JAMS in accordance with its applicable rules. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding upon the parties, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with such arbitration, unless the arbitrator determines that the claims or defenses of a party were frivolous or brought in bad faith, in which case the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the prevailing party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending the outcome of arbitration.

Either party may change its address for notice purposes by giving the other party written notice of such change in accordance with this Section 8(h).

Section 8(i): Severability

If any provision of this Safe, or the application thereof to any person, entity, or circumstance, is held by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and the remaining provisions of this Safe shall continue in full force and effect. In such event, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision with a valid, legal, and enforceable provision that, to the greatest extent possible, achieves the original intent and economic effect of the invalid provision.

Section 8(j): Entire Agreement; Integration

This Safe, together with the Side Letter and all exhibits and schedules attached hereto, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous negotiations, representations, warranties, commitments, offers, contracts, and agreements (whether oral or written) relating to such subject matter, including, without limitation, the non-binding term sheet dated August 25, 2023 (as countersigned by the Investor on September 1, 2023). No prior draft of this Safe shall be used in the interpretation or construction of this Safe.

Section 8(k): Counterparts; Electronic Signatures

This Safe may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including PDF or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.Brightwater Software.com), or other transmission method, and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes. Signatures transmitted by PDF or other electronic means shall be deemed original signatures for all purposes.

Section 8(l): Tax Treatment

For U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, the Company and the Investor each agree to treat this Safe as a forward contract for the future issuance of equity of the Company and not as indebtedness of the Company, a partnership interest, or any other form of equity interest, unless otherwise required by a final determination (within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) of a taxing authority. Neither party shall take any position on any tax return, report, or filing that is inconsistent with this Section 8(l) unless required to do so by applicable law.

Section 8(m): Confidentiality

The terms and conditions of this Safe are confidential. Neither party shall disclose the terms hereof (including the Purchase Amount and the Post-Money Valuation Cap) to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party, except for disclosures:

(i) to such party's directors, officers, employees, members, partners, advisors, accountants, and legal counsel who have a reasonable need to know such information for purposes directly related to this Safe or the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that such recipients are informed of and agree to maintain the confidentiality of such information;

(ii) as required by applicable law, regulation, judicial order, or governmental process, provided that the disclosing party shall, to the extent legally permissible, provide the other party with prompt written notice of such requirement prior to making such disclosure, so that the other party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy;

(iii) in connection with a future equity or debt financing, merger, acquisition, or sale of the Company, provided that appropriate confidentiality protections (including, without limitation, non-disclosure agreements) are in place with respect to such disclosure; or

(iv) to current or prospective limited partners, investors, or co-investors of the Investor, provided that such recipients are bound by confidentiality obligations no less protective than those set forth herein.
