SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity)
This SAFE (this "SAFE") is entered into as of September 5, 2023 (the "Effective Date"), by and between:
Lumos Analytics Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), with its principal place of business located 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 located at 2900 Sand Hill Road, Suite 240, Menlo Park, California 94025.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company desires to obtain funding to further its business operations, including the continued development and commercialization of its analytics platform and related technology;
WHEREAS, the Investor desires to provide funding to the Company in exchange for the right to certain shares of the Company's Capital Stock, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this SAFE; and
WHEREAS, this instrument is intended to be a "post-money" SAFE, based on the form published by Calderon Partners LLC, with certain modifications as agreed to by the parties hereto.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the Company and the Investor agree as follows:
Section 1: Events
Section 1(a): Equity Financing.
If there is an Equity Financing before the termination of this SAFE, on the initial closing of such Equity Financing, this SAFE will automatically convert into the number of shares of SAFE Preferred Stock equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the Conversion Price.
For purposes of this Section 1(a), "Equity Financing" means a bona fide transaction or series of related transactions with the principal purpose of raising capital, pursuant to which the Company issues and sells shares of Preferred Stock at a fixed pre-money valuation, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of not less than (excluding the conversion of SAFEs, convertible promissory notes, or other convertible instruments issued by the Company). For the avoidance of doubt, the issuance of convertible securities or SAFEs shall not, in and of itself, constitute an Equity Financing.
In connection with the automatic conversion of this SAFE upon an Equity Financing, the Company shall issue to the Investor a number of shares of the series of Preferred Stock sold in such Equity Financing (the "SAFE Preferred Stock") determined by dividing the Purchase Amount by the Conversion Price. The "Conversion Price" shall be the price per share equal to the Post-Money Valuation Cap divided by the Company Capitalization, each as defined in Section 2 below. No discount rate shall apply to the determination of the Conversion Price under this SAFE.
The SAFE Preferred Stock issued upon conversion of this SAFE shall have rights, privileges, preferences, and restrictions identical to those of the shares of Preferred Stock issued and sold in the Equity Financing, except that:
(i) the liquidation preference per share of SAFE Preferred Stock shall equal the Conversion Price (rather than the price per share paid by the investors in the Equity Financing); and
(ii) the conversion price for purposes of price-based anti-dilution protection applicable to the SAFE Preferred Stock shall be the Conversion Price (rather than the price per share paid by the investors in the Equity Financing).
To the extent any terms of the SAFE Preferred Stock are not identical to the terms of the Preferred Stock issued in the Equity Financing (as modified by clauses (i) and (ii) above), such terms shall be set forth in the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation or equivalent organizational document, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such document to provide for a separate series of Preferred Stock to be designated as the SAFE Preferred Stock, if necessary to reflect the foregoing distinctions.
Section 1(b): Liquidity Event.
If there is a Liquidity Event before the termination of this SAFE, and before an Equity Financing has occurred, the Investor shall, at the Investor's option, either:
(i) receive from the Company a cash payment equal to the Purchase Amount (the "Cash-Out Amount"); or
(ii) automatically receive from the Company a number of shares of the Company's Common Stock equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the Liquidity Price.
For purposes of this Section 1(b), the "Liquidity Price" shall be the price per share equal to the Post-Money Valuation Cap divided by the Liquidity Capitalization, each as defined in Section 2 below.
If the Investor elects to receive the Cash-Out Amount pursuant to clause (i) above, such payment shall be made to the Investor at the closing of the Liquidity Event or, in the case of a Direct Listing, promptly following the date of listing. Payment of the Cash-Out Amount shall be made out of the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Company or, in the case of a Direct Listing, out of the Company's available funds, with the same priority as payments made to holders of the Company's Preferred Stock (if any) . If, despite the Company's commercially reasonable efforts, the Cash-Out Amount is not paid in full at the closing of the Liquidity Event, any unpaid portion shall accrue interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (compounded annually) until paid in full.
If the Investor elects to receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Company shall issue such shares to the Investor immediately prior to the consummation of the Liquidity Event. The Investor shall be deemed to have elected clause (ii) unless the Investor has provided the Company with written notice of an election under clause (i) at least five (5) business days prior to the anticipated closing date of the Liquidity Event (or, if later, within five (5) business days following the Investor's receipt of written notice from the Company of the Liquidity Event).
The Company shall notify the Investor in writing of any anticipated Liquidity Event no later than ten (10) business days prior to the anticipated closing date thereof, setting forth the material terms of such Liquidity Event in reasonable detail.
Section 1(c): Dissolution Event.
If there is a Dissolution Event before the termination of this SAFE, and before an Equity Financing or Liquidity Event has occurred, the Investor shall receive a cash payment equal to the Purchase Amount from the Company. A "Dissolution Event" means (i) a voluntary termination of operations of the Company, (ii) a general assignment for the benefit of the Company's creditors, any other liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company (excluding a Liquidity Event), whether voluntary or
Payment of the Purchase Amount upon a Dissolution Event shall be made out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution, with the same priority as payments made to holders of the Company's Preferred Stock (if any), but in all events senior to payments to holders of the Company's Common Stock. If the Company does not have sufficient assets to pay the Purchase Amount in full, together with all other amounts owed to holders of other outstanding SAFEs and holders of Preferred Stock (if any) with respect to their respective liquidation preferences, then all of the Company's assets legally available for distribution shall be distributed pro rata among (A) the Investor, (B) all other holders of outstanding SAFEs (to the extent of their respective SAFE purchase amounts), and (C) holders of Preferred Stock (if any) (to the extent of their respective liquidation preferences), in proportion to the full amounts to which each such holder would otherwise be entitled. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall holders of Common Stock receive any distribution from the Company upon a Dissolution Event until the Investor and all other SAFE holders and Preferred Stock holders have been paid in full.

Section 5: Most Favored Nation (MFN) Provision

The Company shall execute and deliver such amendment promptly upon the Investor's election.
The MFN right set forth in this Section 5 shall apply to (i) all SAFEs issued by the Company in connection with the current financing round (aggregate target of Six Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,800,000) as authorized by the Board Consent), and (ii) all SAFEs or similar convertible instruments issued by the Company thereafter prior to the next Equity Financing. For the avoidance of doubt, the MFN right shall not apply to convertible promissory notes or other forms of indebtedness unless such instruments are substantially similar in structure and purpose to a SAFE.
Section 6: Information Rights

The information rights set forth in this Section 6 shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the conversion of this SAFE into shares of Capital Stock pursuant to Section 1(a), at which time the Investor's information rights (if any) shall be governed by the terms of the definitive agreements entered into in connection with the Equity Financing; (ii) the termination of this SAFE in accordance with Section 7(m); or (iii) the payment in full of the Cash-Out Amount pursuant to Section 1(b) or the payment of dissolution proceeds to the Investor pursuant to Section 1(c).
